Luo Yao hugged Qingling and fell into the back garden of her mansion.

Qing Ling stood firm, looked around for a moment, and couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart.

I always thought that the guards in my house were among the best in Lingxiao City, and Xun was born in the elite of the forbidden army, and the subordinates trained under his command were all extraordinary and superb in martial arts. But once he met a master like Luo Yao, who was good at using magic and illusions, it was still useless.

It seems that the four sides and four corners of this mansion have to add another formation enchantment.

With all kinds of thoughts in her mind, she silently led Luo Yao to the bedroom in the inner courtyard.

The maid in the ear room heard the movement, yawned and pushed the door out, and happened to collide with Qing Ling and Luo Yao.

The maid was stunned for a moment before she reacted, "Emperor Ji ......"

Qing Ling had a sense of panic that he had been caught by his master for doing something wrong in the past, but he waved his hand coldly with a straight face, "It's okay for you, go down." Don't alarm anyone around. ”

The maid glanced at Luo Yao, seemed to have an understanding, nodded in response, turned around and entered the house and closed the door.

Although Qingling often goes in and out of the private house in this city on weekdays, he rarely spends the night here, so the bedroom here is vacant all the year round, except for this maid who is responsible for cleaning and tidying up the room, there is no other person in and out of the room, and it is very idle and secluded.

She led Luo Yao into the room, turned on the silver bead clam lamp on the table and the shelf, hesitated for a moment, and turned to meet his gaze.

Luo Yao was dressed in nocturnal black, slightly tightened, outlining a slender and vigorous figure. The hair was still meticulously combed as it had been when we met in the Chengji Hall in the afternoon, except that the luxurious crown ornament had been removed, and only the hairpins were tied, and the few long strands of long hair hanging from the sideburns on the forehead carried the breath of the night breeze and unruliness.

He seemed to be smiling, his curved lips were gently raised, but there was a slight playful coldness in his eyes, and he stared at Qing Ling for a moment, "Don't run away?" ”

Qing Ling remembered the scene of his hasty escape from the Chengji Hall this afternoon, and a sense of anger rose in his heart, and he raised his head and said, "This is my mansion." Why should I run away? ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and were silent for a moment.

At the end, Luo Yao slowly spoke, "When...... Aware? ”

Qing Ling hesitated for a moment, and then asked rhetorically, "When did you know?" ”

Luo Yao replied very simply: "After the incident of Zhuo Yuan, I had doubts. That incident was very well planned, and it was able to cover up all the clues afterwards, if it weren't for the people around you, it would never be so clean. At the beginning, I also thought that maybe it was the hand of Queen Fangshan, who was bent on dealing with you. But Gu Yuechang Emperor Ji was able to pinch the time when I was not in the post house, and he must have learned all the purposes and plans of our trip to Luancheng in advance. And the only person who can know the deal between you and me is your closest and most trusted ally. ”

When Qing Ling heard the words "the most trusted and close", his breathing was slightly shortened, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a sneering arc.

Luo Yao continued: "I have gone to Fuyu Mountain several times to look for you, but you have avoided you every time...... Later, I heard that you summoned one of Mu Chen's guards, and that guard had accompanied us to Luancheng. I sent someone to follow him, trying to find an opportunity to question him personally, but he suddenly disappeared without a sound. A few months later, Osawa's patrol ship found the bodyguard on a ship bound for the Western Continent. It is said that he died due to a poison attack in his body. ”

He looked at Qing Ling and felt a moment of confusion and dodging in her eyes, "Later, something happened in Wutong Town. I was even more sure that this was a bureau set up by Mu Chen. At the beginning of the construction of the slender manor, a special mark was set up by the masters of the gods and demons, and this secret is only known to you. And after His Majesty banned Wutong Town, Nian Ying and I went there to see the people of Jiuqiu, and only you know. And the only person you won't hide from anything you know is Mu Chen. With his ingenuity, it was only a matter of time to find out the secret that the Slender Garden could secretly lead to the Nine Hills. ”

Qing Ling bit his lower lip, "But I can't figure it out, even if there is a secret passage with Jiuqiu in that garden, the seal on Luo Heng's body does not allow him to set foot outside Jiuqiu." How did he break through the seal and appear in Wutong Town? ”

Luo Yao said: "The slender garden is already connected to the Nine Hills through an enchantment, and it is not surprising that my uncle can enter and exit it. I don't know why he appeared at that time, or why he was able to chase him out of the garden. However, when my Uncle Xuan cast the seal, he had the help of Ling Huan Shangjun of Fuyu Mountain, and afterwards His Majesty also asked Ling Huan Shangjun to check and confirm that the seal was correct, and then he made a covenant with Jiuqiu to armistice with Jiuqiu. Since Mu Chen studied under Ling Huan Shangjun, it was not difficult to learn from him about the flaws in this seal and then use it. ”

Now, no matter how much you dwell on the subtleties, it doesn't really mean much to Qingling.

No matter how Luo Heng broke through that seal, he couldn't change the fact that Mu Chen was the initiator of the whole thing.

Qing Ling walked to the shelf, took out a wine jug from a dark compartment, lifted the lid of the jug, and raised his head to take a large sip of wine.

This is the Xiluzi brew she collected from the Red Moon Fang, the taste is luscious, and the stamina is great, in order to be afraid of letting Mu Chen know, she also deliberately took it out of the Red Moon Fang quietly without Min Niang and hid it in the secret compartment of the bedroom of the private house.

Unexpectedly, tonight has become a good medicine to relieve the boredom in my heart......

Qing Ling wiped his mouth with his sleeve, turned around and stared at Luo Yao sharply, "Since you already knew, why did you only speak now?" ”

Luo Yao smiled bitterly, "Even if I tell you early in the morning, will you believe me?" When I was in the camp in Weizhou, I begged you to listen to my explanation, did you give me a chance? As soon as the incident in Sycamore Town happened, you concluded that it was me......"

He paused, and his voice slowed down, "Actually, what you said is not wrong. Your mother and brother Wang died at the hands of my uncle. Whether you hate the Jiuqiu Luo clan or think that the blood on my body makes you extremely disgusting, it is your freedom. I, I have nothing to say. ”

Qing Ling raised his hand, poured the remaining wine from the pot, and then tossed the empty pot aside, laughing heavily.

"Don't be so generous with you!" She put away her smile and looked at Luo Yao, "Those ideas in your heart are much cleaner than others?" Today in the Chengji Palace, don't you just want to expose this matter in front of your father? What are you pretending to worry about the country and the people? What's the soulful stuff? Yes, you just make me feel disgusting, disgusting! ”

The wine was strong, and she suddenly stumbled under her feet. Luo Yao stretched out his hand to help her, but he paused in mid-air and slowly retracted it.

Qing Ling held on to the partition and continued to sneer: "If you want to make a fuss about this, just do it!" It's a big deal, we're just fighting with you. There was a cold light flashing in his eyes, "I don't believe that my father would give up a pair of children with the most useful value for the sake of a deceased third brother and sister!" ”

Luo Yao looked at Qing Ling, his eyes were complicated, and there was a touch of deep pity in his surprise and pain.

Her words couldn't be clearer.

Even though she already knew the truth of the facts, she still chose to stand by Mu Chen's side and advance and retreat with him, sharing honor and disgrace!

Luo Yao said indifferently: "Today I spoke in front of Your Majesty, just to force out the truth. At the beginning of Mu Chen's layout, he had people take Xian Xian from Wutong Town, and my men have been tracking her whereabouts to Lingxiao City, and found out that she had escaped from Mu Chen's private house, and there has been no trace since then. I knew her relationship with Kudu, and I thought that she would inevitably ask Kudu for help in this situation, so I approached Kudu to make a temptation. What kind of character that person is, you also know, no matter how much I lobbied, I refused to tell the whereabouts of Xian Xian. He is His Majesty's imperial physician and an expert in the use of poison, so it is inconvenient for me to search his mansion rashly, so I can only find a way to force him to admit it in front of His Majesty. ”

He paused and looked at Qing Ling, "The matter of Wutong Town, Fang Shanlei is already investigating, and there is no need for me to do anything at all." If he wants to seek justice for himself, he will not give up until he has achieved his goal. If you have the heart to defend Mu Chen, you should think about how to cover things up in front of the Fang Shan Clan, instead of losing your temper with me here. ”

Qing Ling held on to the partition, supporting his crumbling body. The burning wine spread through her chest, but it didn't warm her in the slightest.

She smiled bitterly, "I have already looked for Fang Shanlei today. Raising his eyes to look at Luo Yao, his expression revealed a bit of viciousness, "Now, he has decided that you are the person behind the whole thing." ”

Luo Yao's face was indifferent, as if he was not surprised by this answer at all, hooked his lips, and asked slowly: "If my guess is right, in order to convince Fang Shanlei that I am the mastermind behind the scenes, senior sister, I'm afraid it took a lot of effort, right?" ”

Qing Ling didn't deny it, staring at him fearlessly, "So what? He was already suspicious of you! I just acquiesced to his guess. The person who crippled him was your devil's uncle, so what if you were to bear a crime? ”

Luo Yao's eyes drooped slightly, and he laughed at himself, "Yes, even if I die a thousand or ten thousand times, and I am pointed out by thousands of people and spurned by thousands of people, as long as your Mu Chen is safe and sound, you will not be disturbed." ”

Qing Ling looked at his handsome and gloomy face in the clam light, and the tip of his heart seemed to be suddenly entangled by a subtle and sharp emotion, like a silk thread, tightly wound, pulling out a sudden pain.

She remembered what Mu Chen said to Chun Yuyan tonight—

"Baili Fuyao is not an outsider, there is a tacit understanding and affection between him and Qingling that maybe even they don't realize. Do you remember when Qing Ling mentioned him in the past? Do you still remember the reason why he saved me from Chongwu despite his disgrace? If they are not in the same place, they will fall. But once they get closer, they are like the power of fire and water to resist and melt each other, affecting each other. His words were enough to change the original persistent thoughts in Qing Ling's heart. Looking at that kind of change, you make me, how can I be indifferent? ”

Thinking about it, Qing Ling laughed uncontrollably.

She propped up the shelves and laughed wildly, shaking the ornate ornaments on the shelves.

Tears fell imperceptibly, "You're right. Even if you die a thousand or ten thousand times, and you are pointed at by thousands of people and spurned by thousands of people, I don't care. His voice was muffled because of the crying, as if he was talking to himself, "What he wants is not an ally, nor a sister, but a bird that he keeps in captivity, and he can only belong to him from body to heart, and he can only watch him alone for the rest of his life...... So I can only live like this, because I ......"

Because I don't want to be abandoned by him, I don't want to be alone from now on, and I don't want to find no one who can walk side by side in this glorious world!

"Because of what?"

Luo Yao took her words, with a faint sadness in his eyes, "Because you love him?" After a pause, his tone changed from inquiry to affirmation, "Because you loved him from beginning to end." ”
