Yuan Mohua lightly exhaled a trembling breath and asked, "You know everything?" What do you know? ”

Yao Duran's eyes did not dodge, and calmly greeted: "I know, you love me, this is enough for me to know some other things, for example, you married Lu Yan just to take advantage of it, what you said in the forest is a loss of heart, right?" Also, Lu Yan committed suicide for you and me, and it was you and I who hurt her, didn't we? ”

"Ahem, ahem—" He suddenly lowered his eyes and coughed violently, not looking up for a long time.

Yao Duran said: "Now, I only have one thing left to understand, can Lord Yuan give me an understanding?" ”

Yuan Mohua slowly suppressed the long cough and gasped: "How do you want to understand?" ”

Yao Duran asked, "Since Lu Qi really committed suicide and has nothing to do with you, why do you lie that she accidentally stumbled?" And cut off the railings to cover them? ”

Yuan Mohua pressed his chest and chuckled a few times, and said in a hoarse voice: "If I call her suicide, Niangniang will be even more unconvinced, and she will only make more trouble." Lu Yan has her good intentions and deep affection, but I feel her feelings, but I don't want to go along with her. I also have my heart and my wishes, I don't want you to be my enemy, I don't want you to hate me, I ...... I want to hide in an unknown corner and secretly protect you for the rest of my life. ”

Yao Duran's heart suddenly sank and he was overwhelmed. She quickly spoke: "Lord Yuan! That's all there is to it! From now on, you must not say a word about this matter, and I will not listen to it again. ”

"In this world, Your Majesty is the only one who can level the mountains and seas and calm the hearts of people. So I've made up my mind that I don't need extra hearts, not even secretly! ”

"Lord Yuan, I hurt you by mistake, and I can't stop saying a word here. Also, I once said to Princess Yishuang that each of us will pay for our mistakes, so this sorry voice is just my heartfelt apology, not my final explanation to you, I will go to your majesty to ask for guilt. Leave. ”

After saying that, she turned around to leave, but Yuan Mohua suddenly raised her voice and shouted at her: "Yao Duran!" ”

Yao Duran slowly stopped, but did not look back.

Yuan Mohua's voice sounded behind him, so firm: "Why do you need to plead guilty? I was chased and killed by others, I was injured and fainted, what do you have to do with it? ”

"So, let me protect you one last time! For the last time! Ahem, ahem—"

Yao Duran turned his back to him and gently closed his eyes, and then opened them, and it was already a desolation inside. She left him one last word and walked away.

"Yuan Mohua, no need, it's not rare, in this world, only His Majesty and Lu Yan can protect me safely."

Behind him, he coughed violently, his voice was painful and difficult, like a whimper, like a cry of death, and as if he was about to cough up the little blood left in his chest.

......

Yao Duran left Fuquan in the Rejuvenation Medical Hall to take care of Yuan Mohua, and he led Biya to the inn to find Wei Yanran, and the four of them returned to the palace together.

On the way, Wei Yanran was puzzled: "Sister, why did you suddenly decide to go back to the palace?" ”

Yao Duran lowered his eyes and whispered: "There is something important to rush to Your Majesty." ”

As he spoke, the palace gate that had been absent for four or five days was close at hand.

Yao Duran did not return to the palace of wantonness, and after separating from Wei Yanran, he went straight to the imperial study.

On the steps, Qin An saw her come back suddenly, and greeted her in surprise: "Oh, Niangniang, why did you come back suddenly?" ”

Yao Duran didn't answer, and said, "Don't ask, go in and pass it on." ”

"Yes, yes." Qin An went in in a panic.

The bamboo curtain was lifted, and Yao Duran walked into the imperial study, which was fragrant and comfortable. Huo Jingcheng sat behind the imperial case and waited for her, a fair and handsome face looked inexplicably warm, but it was silently striking people fragile and heartbreaking. Yao Duran remembered the twists and turns he had experienced outside the palace in the past few days, and for a moment, he was full of sadness.

Huo Jingcheng had already greeted him, and there was a faint surprise on Jun's face: "Dye'er, why did you come back suddenly?" ”

Yao Duran looked at the faint surprise in his eyes, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable, what she was sorry for was Yuan Mohua? And him in front of him!

Thinking about it like this, the pain in my heart couldn't be suppressed, and it turned into rolling tears in an instant.

"Your Majesty! Woo-woo-" She threw herself on his chest and cried bitterly.

When Huo Jingcheng saw it, his gentle and handsome face changed color instantly, and he hugged her waist and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?!" Who bullied you?! ”

Yao Duran cried and shook her head.

Huo Jingcheng hugged her tightly, so anxious that he was burning inside, and his voice was a little fierce, a little anxious: "Are you going to drown me with tears?" Don't cry! Say it! What the hell is wrong with you?! ”

Yao Duran was unmoved, pinching the clothes on his chest and crying. All the bitter winds and rains, ups and downs and pains, let him clean up for her.

Her cry was heart-wrenching, Huo Jingcheng immediately pushed her away, raised her face to star, a pair of eagle eyes were full of danger, and asked, "Say, who bullied you?" Or is something wrong with you? ”

Yao Duran wiped his tears indiscriminately, left him and knelt on the ground, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, I am in trouble, I have made a big mistake, so I specially returned to the palace to ask you for my guilt." ”

After Huo Jingcheng heard this, his face was slightly pale, he squatted in front of her and stared at her, and said, "So, you yourself are safe and sound?" ”

Yao Duran nodded.

His face warmed up a little, his tone softened, and he said, "It's okay if you're okay." So what did you do wrong? ”

Yao Duran secretly gritted his silver teeth and explained truthfully.

"Your Majesty must know about Lord Yuan's absence, in fact, Lord Yuan was almost killed by me, and he is now seriously injured and being treated at the Rejuvenation Medical Center in the city. That's why I attempted to kill someone, and I came here to plead guilty! ”

"Huh??" Huo Jingcheng's face that had just eased collapsed again, and he was caught off guard by her words.

Yao Duran nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty, it's true." ”

Huo Jingcheng saw that she looked serious and solemn, and immediately believed it. I see! No wonder Yuan Mohua missed the court meeting, no wonder Yuan Fu sent troops to look for people on the street!

"Yao Duran!!" He scolded, and jerked up to look at her condescendingly, his anger already palpable.

Yao Duran didn't dare to look at his face, but his cold voice then came from above his head.

"Why did you kill him?!"

Yao Duran raised his head at this time, his beautiful eyes hid hatred, and he said fiercely: "I naturally want to kill him!" You and the queen want me to swallow it hard, in fact, it's strange that I can swallow this breath! That's why I lied to you that you were going to Qingchen Temple, in fact, it was just to go out of the palace to kill Yuan Mohua! ”

Huo Jingcheng's black eyes suddenly chilled, and in an instant, his gaze changed in a thousand ways. It seemed incredulous and felt like she wasn't like her anymore. He seemed to be questioning himself if he really understood the woman in front of him.

He never knew that the woman in front of him would be so aggressive, and she would have a decisive side. And is this her hidden nature, or was she spoiled by him?

"And how did you hurt him?!"

Yao Duran said: "I seriously injured him with the evil sword!" ”

Huo Jingcheng was irritable, paced a few steps slowly, and suddenly said, "That's not right!" That Yuan Mohua, a big man, how could he be hurt by you? Did he stand still waiting for you to kill? ”

Yao Duran said: "I invited him to the cemetery of Lu Lang, so that he thought that the tea was poisonous, so as to divert his attention, and finally took advantage of his unpreparedness and injured him with a knife!" ”

Huo Jingcheng turned his face to look at her again, and held back for a long time before he said: "You are really a heroine among women?" ”

Yao Duran was speechless.

He asked, "How, then, did you attempt to kill him?" ”

Yao Duran said: "Fuquan and Biya arrived in time, and the two loyal servants were worried that I would be guilty of a serious crime by killing Lord Yuan, so they worked together to stop and send Lord Yuan back to the city's medical hall for treatment. ”

Huo Jingcheng finally understood, and nodded slowly: "I see, I see." ”

"Then what are you crying about?" He suddenly asked: "You hurt someone, and you cry wronged?" ”

Yao Duran sighed in her heart, this incident, the corners and corners behind her, the details and leaves, will be unknown, all her secret sadness and pain can be turned into tears to him, but it can't be turned into words to say to him.

"Your Majesty, I'm just scared, I'm afraid that you will kill me, so I'll cry first."

Huo Jingcheng's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you afraid of me?" Joke! You first lied and tricked me out of the palace, and then assassinated the important ministers of the court! You are clearly not afraid of heaven and earth! I ask you! Yuan Mohua didn't die, what if he died? What are you going to do? ”

Yao Duran said: "If Lord Yuan is really dead, I will still come to ask for sin!" The rest will be handed over to Your Majesty! ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "Heh! Is that reasonable? So what should I do? Endure the pain and cut love to kill you? Or is it the wisdom that does not do enough to protect you? As he spoke, he squatted down again, raised her face and stared deeply, and said seriously: "Yao Duran, do you think that you are like this, and the injury is just Yuan Mohua?" Do you know that in the final analysis, it is you and me who are really hurt! Do you really understand? ”

"If you want the country and not the beauty, it is for the heartless and ruthless. If you want a beauty and don't want the country, it is for no righteousness and no responsibility. In your heart, what kind of person do you want your Rokuro to be? Do you know that your every move determines the tone of my being a king? If you are a virtuous concubine, I will be a Ming Jun, and if you are an adulterous concubine, I will be a faint king! ”

Yao Duran met his deep dark eyes, and was speechless for a while, only crying silently.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Huo Jingcheng was finally defeated by her tears, he exhaled heavily, and said angrily: "Okay, what are you crying about?" The sky is falling, and I'll give you a top! After speaking, he got up and shouted, "Qin An! In! ”

The bamboo curtain sounded, and Qin An came in.

"Qin An, you leave the palace immediately, go to the Rejuvenation Medical Hall in person, tell Yuan Mohua, and let him swallow this matter! When he recovers from his injuries and returns to the court, I will promote him to his position and be promoted to the second grade! Tell him again, there is no need to let King Hao know about this matter, King Hao is impulsive, whether the brotherhood between me and King Hao is affected depends on him Yuan Mohua! Well, go for it! ”

When Qin An left, Huo Jingcheng looked at her with a stunned expression, exhaled lightly, and said seriously: "I let Yuan Mohua swallow this matter." This knife goes down, hoping to cut off the unwillingness and resentment in your heart, and stop here, and do it yourself in the future. ”

Yao Duran's heart was relieved, and he immediately leaned over and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
