Chapter 25: The Tide of the Heart
There was no quarrel, and Liu Fu suddenly fell silent. At this time, it was already night, and most of the subordinates of the Liu Mansion had gone to rest. In addition to the subordinates who were keeping vigil and the guards who were hiding in the shadows to protect the safety of Liufu, only the stars in the ink sky quietly watched Mo Yunchen carry Liu Zhilan back to the courtyard.
"The blow is too big, don't say a word?" Mo Yunchen held Liu Zhilan steadily, the two of them were dressed in black and melted into the night, and the lamps hanging on the corridor of Liufu emitted a dim light on the faces of the two, but they did not soften their expressions. Mo Yunchen didn't look at Liu Zhilan, he looked at the darkness at the end of the light in front of him, and his heart was a little chilly.
Liu Zhilan placed one hand on herself, and the other hand hung at her side at will, swaying slightly from time to time as Mo Yunchen moved. Her little face was pressed against Mo Yunchen's chest, listening to the dull heartbeat in her ears, and the willow eyes were only tightly closed. No, the blow she received in her previous life was a hundred times more difficult than this, and today's little humiliation is nothing.
"I just don't want to talk. ”
"......" Mo Yunchen did not speak. The two of them walked out of the corridor and walked a short distance into the Bamboo Pavilion. On the road, the evening breeze blew bamboo leaves, and one chill after another hit them. There was no light on the road, and only the faint light of the stars could not see each other's expressions clearly.
"Mo Yunchen. ”
"Huh?" Mo Yunchen responded.
"You, in a few days, you should send someone to kill me, right?"
Before the words fell, Mo Yunchen's footsteps slammed. The cold wind gently lifted the hem of his sleeves and long hair, and he looked down at Liu Zhilan, but he couldn't see the face of the person in his arms clearly. "Good one, what did this king do to kill you?"
"Because the prince thinks that if you didn't help me today, I wouldn't have been able to break this game. You think that my Liu Zhilan only has the ability to pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic, and it is not of much value to you. But if I die a few days later, regardless of the cause of my death, the Liu family's reputation in the imperial capital will be completely ruined. Ming Yuelan will be pushed out to confess, Liu Hanxue will be suspected of also playing tricks on my death, so that in the future, there will be no good husband's family to add power to my father, after all, no one wants the murderer's daughter to enter his house, and my father Liu Zhengqian may also anger Long Yan, after all, the emperor warned the Liu family to treat me well a month ago. I am dead, the behavior of the Liu family is equivalent to resisting the decree, the Liu family tree has deep roots, although it will not depose and exile, but it also finds an excuse for the emperor to cut his wings and cut his power. As it stands, I'm dead and worth more than I live. Mo Yunchen, King Yixi, is what the little girl said right?"
Liu Zhilan looked up at Mo Yunchen and looked at him, there was no killing intent in such a cold sight, but Liu Zhilan knew that Mo Yunchen's killing intent was getting stronger now. You must know that in her previous life, she and Mo Yunchen were great rivals, and they were all clear about what kind of people they were. Now that she is reborn, although he can't see through her, what he thinks, what he thinks, what he thinks, she is naturally clear.
Mo Yunchen's face, which had been smiling in the past, was now frosty, and he looked at Liu Zhilan for a long time before he spoke, but his voice lacked the laziness of the past: "Since you can guess the thoughts of this king, why don't you use a good way to make this king not have the idea of killing you in the hall just now?"
Hearing this, Liu Zhilan Ying's lips curled upward, and her hand that had been hanging at her side was on Mo Yunchen's shoulder, and the hand on her body went around the back of Mo Yunchen's neck and met with the other hand. She used her strength to prop up her upper body, and whispered with her little face close to his ear: "Because I can guess the prince's mind, and the prince can't guess mine." The prince and I both know that whoever can guess each other's minds is the one in charge. Since I have the help of the prince, why should I bother so much?"
The heat in his ears slowly hit his face, Mo Yunchen couldn't help blushing no matter how cold his face was, and no girl had ever been so close to him to talk. He determined, "You are so confident, no one has ever been so conceited and dared to guess the king's mind." ”
Liu Hanxue is pampered, but she has always had low self-esteem because of her status as a concubine. Why do you think Zhen Cha Jiaqin was beaten? As early as yesterday, I had instructed them to humiliate Liu Hanxue when they were looking for her today, but I didn't expect that they would fall asleep in your carriage today, and you would be the one who sent them to find someone, but it didn't matter. Ming Yuelan is not like Liu Hanxue, she is more thoughtful, so if you want to provoke her, I can only come in person. As for my father, I know exactly when he comes home every day and what he does every day, so it's not difficult for him to see me being bullied. Although I have never been to the Treasure Building where we went today, the things in the jewelry shop are enough to know the value of the things that the prince picked for me today. What's more, if you want to embarrass my father, you will naturally make him bleed profusely. He lost so many taels of silver in vain, and it was strange that he was not angry. Liu Zhilan said a lot at once, took a breath and continued: "My father seems to be calm on weekdays, but in fact, he has a violent temperament, and it is inevitable to do it when he comes up. At this time, the fire is burning, and it is up to the prince to lead the fire to Liu Hanxue and Ming Yuelan. ”
"Hmph, what if King Ben stands by and watches?" Mo Yunchen sneered.
"No, you won't. Liu Zhilan rested her head on Mo Yunchen's shoulder, her fingers gently slid over Mo Yunchen's face, and her eyes were full of determination, "Is there still a lot of bullying in the imperial capital about concubines bullying concubines, and others will only think that I am a little more delicate when they see me." But the concubine's bullying of the concubine is a violation of the rules of the imperial capital, if you want to damage the reputation of the Liu family, it is naturally the latter who is the most beneficial. And didn't the prince always want to separate our father-daughter relationship, you have always been partial to me, which will only make my father tired of me. ”
"I didn't expect that this king would also be used as a pawn by others. Mo Yunchen bowed slightly, his face relaxed, and his smile returned. "And what's the matter with that purse today?" he watched as she replaced the original aqua red purse with a red purse, and at first he didn't understand why he did this until he was in the hall. It's just ...... "Mingyue Lan Liu Hanxue is incompatible with you, and Qi Qinzhen Tea doesn't have a chance to get close to the people in their courtyard on weekdays." The king is curious about such a secret thing as embroidering his name, how did you know about it?"
"I have my own way of doing this. It's boring to tell the prince all at once. ”
"Little dramatist, do you know? You give this king an illusion, as if you have known us not only for a month, but for a long time. Mo Yunchen was a little weak, and gently lifted Liu Zhilan to hug her and walked towards the bamboo building. Although there is no killing intent towards Liu Zhilan in his heart, he also has some heaviness. He hates being treated like a pawn, and he should be the one in charge......
was tossed by Mo Yunchen, Liu Zhilan's arm around Mo Yunchen's neck was wrapped tighter, and her lowered eyes were hidden under her slender eyelashes, making it impossible to see her emotions. "Maybe I really knew you in my last life. ”
"If you really know this king for two lifetimes in a row, it is a great blessing. Mo Yunchen only joked with Liu Zhilan and joked with her.
"The prince is joking with me, but does it mean that our covenant continues?" asked Liu Zhilan knowingly.
"The king has said, 'If you are useful, you will be the king's guest.' Liu Zhilan's hot breath as she spoke, and the blinking eyelashes teased Mo Yunchen's neck, and Mo Yunchen only felt that his face was hot. Fortunately, there is this night cover, so that Liu Zhilan will not see it. "No, I can't hold you in the future, you're too heavy. ”
"Actually, the prince can carry me today. Liu Zhilan said solemnly: "That can also make my father dislike me." ”
"......" the corners of Mo Yunchen's mouth twitched, "Don't talk nonsense, this king is willing to hug you, that's a gift to you." How many girls in the imperial capital can't ask for it. ”
"Hmph. Liu Zhilan closed her eyes and looked like she was petty. This Mo Yunchen is still as arrogant and conceited as in his previous life.
"Alright, the bamboo building has arrived. Go in first, this king is waiting here for the imperial doctor. When he arrived at the bamboo building, Mo Yunchen carefully put Liu Zhilan on the ground, quickly turned around and walked to the lotus pond in front of the bamboo building and sat down. Liu Zhilan saw him sitting there, curious that he seemed to be avoiding her, but she ignored it, and went up to the second floor to rest. Today's acting really tired her, and I don't know when this kind of intrigue will come to an end.
When Liu Zhilan entered the bamboo building, Mo Yunchen relaxed. He sat on the edge of the lotus pond and listened to the sound of the wind blowing through the water, and looked at the lotus flowers in the pond that had long since failed. He closed his eyes, feeling the cool breeze on his face warm by the temperature on his face. Thinking of Fang Cai Liu Zhilan's fingers caressing his cheek, he raised his hand and touched it unconsciously. The slender fingers of jade caress the place where the willow branch orchid has been caressed carefully. He half-opened his eyes to see himself reflected in the water, the angular and flushed face of the young man in the water, the sword eyebrows flew obliquely, the soft light flowed in the peach blossom eyes under the thick long eyelashes, and the rich concubine lips under the hanging nose were bending with a soft smile. He pinched the very handsome face of a boy and a girl, but he couldn't ignore the fact that the face was not pinched red.
"Little Drama Singer......" Mo Yunchen's fingers stayed on his face, and he closed his eyes to feel the body temperature of the remaining willow orchid on his body, and he couldn't help but think of the way she climbed her neck and spoke in her ear, and the temperature on her face rose a little. Don't look at how he usually does things to Liu Zhilan from time to time, but in fact, he has never been close to women. Although his appearance is also Yushu in the imperial capital, he is also graceful and suave, but he is pretentious, and usually even those noble ladies are not in his eyes, let alone close to him. However, Liu Zhilan is different, looking at the imperial capital, no girl has as many secrets and ...... as she Those cold eyes.
The slightly thin goose egg face is white and snowy, the willow eyebrows are slender into the sideburns, and a tear mole under the corner of the willow leaf eyes adds to the brown pupil style, and the cherry lips are delicate. Such a charming and fresh face often has cold eyes and a hypocritical smile, and Mo Yunchen depicts Liu Zhilan's appearance little by little in his heart. He really wanted to know if there was anyone in this world who could make her sunken face shine with true affection.
"Alas......" Mo Yunchen looked up to the sky and sighed, although he had no experience, he had seen a lot of the wind and snow of others. He knew that he had a lot of interest in Liu Zhilan, but he was just ...... Now is not the time to think about that. Let's go and see, this kind of thing is never fixed, and if he really feels emotional in the future, he will not pretend not to know.
"Huh, Lord Mo, why are you still here?"
A curiosity interrupted Mo Yunchen's conjecture. Mo Yunchen closed his hand and opened his eyes, only to see Zhen Cha Qiqin and Bishu looking at him suspiciously with the treasures they bought during the day. He stood up, dusted off the ashes on his body, and ordered, "You can move your things upstairs and come down and guard it, it is estimated that Gui Yan will be able to bring the imperial doctor over in a while." There are too few of you, Lord Zhuxie, and this king himself has to be guarding the wind downstairs. Then he pushed open the door and went upstairs.
Listening to the instructions, Qi Qinzhen Tea was strange while moving things into the building, obviously guarding the first floor, why did Mo Yunchen have to wait outside? No matter how cold it is outside, it is still autumn, where will people freeze like this?
