"Ayu, so actually- are you Helian Yu?" Murong Anlan's expression looked a little hesitant, and his tightly knit brows showed that he was hesitant at the moment. At some point, he sat up straight, and the hand on his lap gradually clenched, and there was a hint of trembling in the voice that came out.

Yu Ran's eyes also looked a little complicated at this time, her cherry lips pursed lightly, and the gaze of phoenix eyes gently met Murong Anlan's eyes.

The atmosphere between the two became more and more calm, and at this moment, it was Yu Ran who slowly exhaled a breath, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and the corners of her lips were unstoppable smiles, "An Lan, you have really grown a lot." ”

"Eh......" Murong Anlan was stunned for a moment when he heard Yuran's words of disguised admission. He suddenly felt that he was in a blurry illusion, and his whole person was stirred up, but he couldn't get out.

In recent days, Murong Anlan has always had the feeling of walking in the abyss at the bottom of the valley, but at this moment, the fog blocking his eyes seemed to be gradually being removed, allowing the sunshine and brightness to shine into his heart again.

Ayu ...... Is it Helian Yu?

Ayu, is she really Helian Yu?

Ayu - she's Helian Yu!

Murong Anlan asked himself over and over again in his heart, his heart rippled turbulently, and it seemed that there was a fiery emotion that suddenly exploded at this moment.

Compared with Murong Anlan's excitement but didn't dare to speak, Yuran's demeanor was still so gentle and indifferent, her eyes were shining, the smile on the corner of her lips gradually deepened, she tilted her head, smiled and said: "To be honest, when you told me that the object of your worship was Helian Yu, it really surprised me very much. ”

The teasing meaning in Yu Ran's words was so obvious that Murong Anlan's cheeks immediately turned red.

Murong Anlan kept moving his gaze from side to side, nervously not daring to meet Yuran's eyes. But it was the movement of his head that made the flying red behind his ears more conspicuous.

"Surprise is surprise, but Anlan ...... I really thank you. "Thank you for being willing to be so in awe of Helian Yu, thank you for being willing to put all your convictions on Helian Yu.

Murong Anlan subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his hair, he rarely lowered his head a little shyly, and the expression on his face became relaxed and natural because of Yu Ran's words. He smiled to himself and looked up at Yu Ran, his eyes shining with the clarity of the past.

He said, "Ayu, don't thank me, I'm not used to it." And—"

"And we're companions who want to fight together with the sword, so there's nothing to thank. You'd say that, right? Yu Ran took the words for Murong Anlan, and the moment she finished speaking, she grinned and smiled extraordinarily brightly. It seems that at this moment, she is still the Xiahou Yu who mingled with Murong Anlan in the Shang Kingdom, and she is the most trusted partner of Murong Anlan.

"It seems that Ayu deserves to be Ayu, and she is still so powerful!" Murong Anlan touched his head, and finally laughed heartily.

Laughed and laughed, Yu Ran is a person who is free to let go. She sighed softly, a faint smile in her eyes, and the expression on her face gradually retracted.

She spoke, "I agree to your entry into the Yunhua Hall today, and after you leave, Huajun will ask me what you are doing here." If Hua Jun asks again, do you know how to respond? ”

"I will tell my father that I am begging outside the Yunhua Palace, because I am worried about the physical condition of the fourth brother, so I must want to take a look at the fourth brother." Murong Anlan knew it in his heart.

Yu Ran nodded, and then glanced at Murong Anlan again, and said with a slight frown: "Anlan, based on your performance in the palace of King Hua a few days ago, it really means that I can't see at all that you are the wine Anlan who has been with me in the Shang Kingdom for a long time. In vain, I will give you the good words of 'walking the world between cups of wine, settling down the country, and setting the storm'. At the end, Yu Ran put her arms around her chest and looked at him with her head tilted slightly.

When Murong Anlan heard this, his expression suddenly darkened. His expression tightened, and the hand resting on the edge of the table tightened slightly. After pursing his lips, he lowered his voice and said, "That's not the case...... I was a person who was completely uninterested in the affairs of the court, and my father knew this, but he still detained me in the court. Moreover, my father also handed over the rebellion of the Beiping Marquis Mansion to me...... I know that I am also a prince and must take on the responsibility of being a prince, but it is not appropriate for my father to directly hand over such a major matter to me, a person who doesn't understand anything. If it is handed over to the prince's brother or third brother, presumably things will not be dragged more and more complicated by me. ”

"Maybe the crown prince and the third prince are indeed capable of handling this matter." Yuran agreed with some of Murong Anlan's remarks, but the next moment, she changed her words, and said with a deep look in her eyes: "It's just Anlan, don't you really know why your father secretly issued a secret order to send someone to urgently summon you back to Huaguo?" ”

Murong Anlan lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and did not respond to the jade dye.

Yu Ran smiled faintly, this smile seemed to be mixed with helplessness and sighing, she opened her mouth and said: "Because the momentum of the struggle for power between the crown prince and the third prince is increasing day by day, so that your father feels a sense of threat and oppression, so your father must urgently call you back to the palace, so that your existence in the court can break the current situation."

"But unfortunately, when your father's people arrived at Haotian Sect in the Shang Kingdom, it was already the day after you left the Shang Kingdom. But the end result is the same, you're back here, back in the battle for kingship you've had to face. ”

After hearing this, Murong Anlan was stunned for a long time.

After a while, his body relaxed slightly, and then he shrugged his shoulders as if he had figured it out, and then smiled helplessly at Yuran: "I don't have such amazing talent as Ayu, so I can't surpass the prince's brother and third brother." But my father is my father after all, and he has indulged me since I was born, and has never treated me badly, so if my father wants me to come back and participate in these government affairs to solve this crisis, then I will still be willing. ”

"Look at your reluctant look." Yu Ran chuckled lightly and directly broke Murong Anlan's pretense. Her tone was leisurely, and there was only peace in her expression, "You think I'm amazingly talented, it's just because I'm different from you, I'm a person who has been involved in power disputes since childhood." You said that you can't surpass the crown prince and the third prince, but that's only because you're not here. A thing that is annoying from the bottom of my heart, no matter how much you try to pretend on the surface, your true face will soon be revealed. You will find that no matter how hard you try, you will still be unable to convince yourself in the end. ”

"So the most fundamental reason for Helian Yu's strength is actually because of his strong heart?" Murong Anlan raised his eyes slightly and looked at Yu Ran.

Yuran smiled and replied, "It's not just the heart that is strong......

Murong Anlan immediately showed some curiosity, but he saw Yu Ran smiling and silent, so he had no choice but to take back the words that had already reached his lips.

Murong Anlan was silent for a while, and finally raised his smiling face, he smiled exceptionally naturally and brightly, and said, "I should have guessed that Ayu you are Helian Yu!" If you say that among women, the wise and talented ones are the ones who are wise, in my heart, they are Helian Yu and Ayu. I said before that your name is the same as Helian Yu, but what I didn't expect was that you are the same person at all. ”

"Well, now you shouldn't think of Helian Yu as an unfathomable and unreachable person, right? When I traveled with you in Shangguo before, I often heard you mention Helian Yu, which made me embarrassed. Tamazen quipped. Indeed, at that time, Yu Ran listened to Murong Anlan constantly praising Helian Yu's goodness in her ear, but it made Yu Ran around him cry and laugh.

Murong Anlan smiled wryly and scratched his hair, "That's no way...... I really think Helian Yu is a very powerful person, otherwise a person with high eyes like my fourth brother wouldn't like Helian Yu so much...... Huh? When Murong Anlan said this, he suddenly realized something in his mind, he suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Yu Ran, and a little strange look appeared on his face, "I almost forgot, Ayu, you are Helian Yu, doesn't this mean that you are my fourth sister-in-law?" No wonder you took the initiative to ask me about the fourth brother at that time in Shangguo, I thought I described the fourth brother too well, so let Ayu you also feel a little loved. ”

"You think I'm such a person?" Yu Ran raised her eyebrows, pretending to be dissatisfied.

Murong Anlan grinned, then looked away, and whispered in his mouth: "In the end, it's because Ayu still cares about the fourth brother......

When Yu Ran heard this, his eyes suddenly deepened, and then he looked at Murong Anlan silently. Her jade hand gently twisted the cup in her hand, and the moment her eyes fell on the cup, she looked at her own face reflected on the water, looked at her own dark eyes, and that complicated expression, at this moment, her heart was painful.

Where does the pain come from? The pain is in love, and the pain is in fate.

Because Yu Ran had not spoken for a long time, Murong Anlan finally cautiously turned his gaze back, and the first thing he saw was Yu Ran's ethereal and confused expression.

That was the appearance that Murong Anlan had never seen from Yu Ran's face, in his heart, Yu Ran had always been an indifferent and elegant person, and this was the first time that Murong Anlan really realized that there might indeed be an unimaginable entanglement between his fourth brother and Ayu.

He remembered the war between Hua and Ning that had been in a lot of trouble before, and also remembered that Yuran and his fourth brother were the regent of Ning, and the other was the fourth prince of Hua. These two people, perhaps, as long as the territory of the four countries is undecided, will never be able to achieve the so-called liberation.
