Chapter 120: Gloomy Night, Bright Heart
Another sleepless night-
Lou Wange changed into plain white bedclothes, moved a small chair and sat in front of the window, drinking tea while looking at the stars, she has always loved the night sky and starlight, always felt that the night sky can give her the ultimate quiet, the starlight can give her the warmth of companionship, the brighter the night, the more she likes it. But tonight's moonlight is not too good, the sky is dark and very low, and half of the sky seen from her line of sight does not necessarily have half a star twinkling, only a round of broken moonlight, hiding behind the clouds, to be exposed, there is still a little shy. She didn't find the gloomy night boring, but she still watched it with interest, as if she was thinking, and as if she was inβ
Wait!
A black shadow that was almost lightning crossed the moon curtain, and fell on the seventh floor of the Hanxue Pavilion Lou Wange room, and the black figure gradually appeared, facing Lou Wange, and his voice was extremely low: "Master, the blood secret person blood thirteen reports!" β
In the dim moonlight, she evoked an extremely strange smile at the visitor, like a rose in the dark night: "Very good, then everything will be handed over to the blood secret." β
"Subordinates obey." The person who came said respectfully, while handing over the jade flute that had been sent to the Western Regions for cultivation with both hands.
Taking the jade flute, Lou Wange stroked the body of the flute, and there was still that smile on the corner of her mouth: Who would have thought that the legendary Crimson Blood Secret Order happened to be an excellent stone for sound attack weapons!
"Everything has been explained to you clearly, and this time has been hard for you."
"That's what a blood-tight person should do."
"Well, go ahead!"
"Yes."
Looking at the direction in which Blood Thirteen left, she sighed deeply: I hope that the recall of the Blood Secret will make everything turn around!
Coincidentally, as soon as he left, the moon was completely exposed, hanging lonely in the sky, emitting a silvery white cold light, in this moonlight, the Cold Snow Pavilion stood majestically, like a lighthouse in the dark night, guiding the light in this dark and dark world, and in this light journey, there were many hidden invisible dark black. Before the result appeared, all the brightness was just a mirror, and all the fates and endings had long been hidden in this interweaving of light and shadow, no one could see through this interweaving, and no one could stop this dense cloth-
Lou Wange looked back at the moonlight again: gloomy and depressing, without starlight, it was indeed unpleasant. However, this is not like the current imperial capital, which is dark and cold and annoying, but it is also in it, I have to watch it, I have to accept it!
What's the long night? Except for Lou Wange, the other people in the imperial capital may not be able to sleep peacefully, the same sky, the same sorrow. Beichen left Bei Duqing in the house, a candle, a chessboard, two cups of tea, he didn't speak, just silently played against each other, with deep sorrow locked between his eyebrows.
"Beichen, others can't see it, I can see it, I don't sleep at night, I must have something on my mind! I guess it's because of the one in the Cold Snow Pavilion? Bei Duqing looked sideways, and through the window on the side of the chessboard, he could just see the roof of the Cold Snow Pavilion.
"The fourth brother thought about it too much, but I didn't." He pretended to be careless, but his heart was full of turmoil.
"You, don't lie to me. I can't see it yet, you're overly concerned about Miss Lou, you just heard that Miss Lou was leaving the imperial capital yesterday, and the gods are gone, how can I see you like this. I didn't see her at night, and I was restless, so I was dragged to play all night! Bei Duqing sighed, a look that saw through everything.
Beichen was silent, he actually didn't know why he was so upset. But he knew that it was indeed because of Lou Wange's matter: "Fourth brother, I don't really understand what this kind of feeling is, since that hunting ground incident, I will always appear in my mind her appearance, and occasionally dream of her, and everything that happens after that, I will go to investigate, the more I understand her, the more interested I am in her, every time I see her, I can clearly remember her every move, her mystery, her beauty, is so deep in my heart." At first, I could still persuade myself that I would take special care of her because of her identity, but later I found out that it didn't seem like that? When he said this, he couldn't help but think of Lou Wange's smile.
Bei Duqing sneered: "So you still don't admit it? You've already fallen in love with Miss Lou, and you've fallen in love with others! β
"Like?"
"I've long seen the signs, although you have been in contact with a lot of girls since childhood, but they are all simple people raised in the deep boudoir, but, like Miss Lou, who is beautiful, mysterious, smart, and a woman with means and strategy, just happens to be the type you like, it's strange if you don't like it!"
"Really?" He was still unsure of his heart, after all, he had never experienced such a thing.
"You have to ask yourself if it's true or not, anyway, the night is still long, you think slowly, you have been busy since Miss Lou entered the imperial capital, busy checking this, busy checking that, beware of this side, and beware of that side. You may not have time to calm down and think about your heart, if it weren't for Miss Lou suddenly leaving, when would your wooden head be opened. I've played enough chess, I don't want to play with you all night, so I'll go first. Bei Duqing flicked his sleeves and got up, and looked out the window again. He knew that Beichen needed a quiet time to think about his heart.
"Also, I want to remind you that you are not the only one who cares about Miss Lou, the last time the blood spirit attacked, the fifth child who was so worried about taking the initiative to feed the blood, and Jing Zhonggong, who has been secretly competing, I see, there are some signs. Think about it, don't be like me, you don't know until you lose, tomorrow morning when the emperor is in court, I will tell my father that you are sick and can't go to court, you follow your heart, it's good to see her again. Because he made a mistake, he didn't want his younger brother to take a detour, he had already seen through Beichen's thoughts, but Beichen was a wooden flute, and he could dial more if he could be a brother.
After Bei Duqing left, Beichen sat quietly by the window, looked at the Hanxue Pavilion in the distance, and muttered to his heart: "Do I really, like her?" β
also thinks about the heart, in the Jingzhong Mansion, there is another one. Lying on a bench under the locust tree in the courtyard, he squinted and asked the person in front of him: "Yunqi, have you ever liked someone?" β
"Nope."
"No?" Bei Shenye sighed slightly, paused for a while and said, "Why is she leaving the imperial capital?" β
"Is the lord talking about the national teacher?" Yunqi asked.
"So many things have happened in the imperial capital, and they haven't been resolved yet, why did she leave all this and leave?" He was really puzzled, and asked again, but ignored Yunqi's words.
"The National Teacher is not from the imperial capital in the first place, maybe something happened, and he didn't want to stay in the imperial capital, so he left, maybe, it is not necessary that there is an urgent matter in the Western Regions." Yun Qi knew that the lord would be in a low mood, and he couldn't alleviate it, so he could only do his best to comfort him.
"Yunqi, alas, forget it, it's getting late, you go back and rest, help me prepare a horse tomorrow morning, and then go to the palace with a little letter, just say that I am sick and will not go to the morning court."
"Yes."
"Lou Wange, everything in the imperial capital has not yet been decided, so you waved your hand and left, is it really irresponsible?" He chuckled as he spoke.
He knew very well how he felt about Lou Wange, after all, he was moved by the mention of her, and that kind of feeling was something that others would never give again. But she was leaving, how could he be reluctant, he had never asked for anything, nor did he crave anything, he just felt that this time, he had to follow his heart to work hard. Even if he knew that it might all be in vainβ
Dongfang Xiu was locked up in the prison cell used by Jin Ying to deal with disobedient women in Wanhuafang, at this time she was suffering from extremely powerful pain, Lou Wange added bloodthirsty Gu poison to the antidote she gave her before, once a month, it would be painful when she attacked, if there was no antidote, her life would be destroyed by Gu in a few months. Plus Jin Ying has been abusing her. The pain can be imagined, but Beiliuyun only stood outside the small window with his back back, he couldn't see Dongfang Xiu's pain at all, and he always thought that Jin Ying was very obedient and just locked up Dongfang Xiu.
"Xiuxiu, don't blame me for keeping you locked up all the time, I probably already know about you, and keeping you here can be regarded as a kind of protection." Beiliuyun is still dressed in red, but this red, but a little more sad and a little less demonic, sat down against the wall, a pot of spirits in his hand, and poured his own wine while talking.
"Xiuxiu, I should have hated you, staying by my side for so many years, you actually used me as a chess piece, but I can't hate you at all." He laughed at himself, Dongfang Xiu has always been an extraordinary existence in his heart, and he didn't understand what kind of emotion it was, he always persuaded himself to just treat Dongfang Xiu as his own sister.
Back then, Beiliuyun was the emperor's most favored prince, just because his mother was favored by the emperor, at that time, everyone thought that Beiliuyun would become the prince of Beiyue, but a few years later, his mother was sent to the cold palace for framing the palace concubine and murdering the emperor's heir, and later disappeared for no reason, after that, he was no longer favored by the emperor, and he also changed from a smart and studious favored prince to a playboy who lingered in the flower shop. For so many years, from being respected by tens of thousands of people to being ignored by no one, Dongfang Xiu has always been by his side, so he has long regarded Dongfang Xiu as his closest and most trusted person, and he will tell her anything he wants.
"But you shouldn't have done anything to her, you urged the blood spirit in her body to make her so painful, and now she is about to leave the imperial capital, and I haven't had time to see her yet." He raised his hand, looking at the blood marks that Lou Wange had bitten on his hand before, and the corners of his mouth chuckled, he thought, he must have liked Lou Wange.
"Xiuxiu, what am I going to do? How am I going to-"
Dongfang Xiu listened to these words, but because he was covered with a cloth by Jin Ying, he couldn't speak, so he could only endure the pain and sobbed in a low voice.
"Forget it, you shouldn't want to talk to me, don't worry, I'll let you out when I take care of these things." He got up, glanced back at Dongfang Xiu who was lying on the bed with his back from the small window, shook his head and left.
All the hazy emotions burst out tonight, if it weren't for Lou Wange's sudden departure, they might not have been able to see through their hearts. It's just that these emotions hidden deep in the heart, in the whirlpool of the layers of struggle in the imperial capital, whether they are evil or fate, whether they are beautiful or painful, they don't know-
