Chapter 169: A Crisis of Trust (1st Update)
In the three-minute cold moon, the stars are brilliant. In the grass beside them, the most prosperous season of autumn insects in their lives has arrived, and they shout with the loudest voice in their lives, in order to have no regrets in their lives.
Such a sound disturbed Jun Ran's heartbeat as if he had fallen into a hollow, and the echo was swaying, and he went to pick at the skin of the reins, not feeling the slightest pain in his fingertips.
In such silence, Su Jin suddenly smiled.
"Jun Ran, why do you want to marry me?" She shook her head and pretended to speak easily, "I used to do it for money, but now I have nothing here but danger, why are you bothering?" ”
"I was not wrong for money." Jun Ran turned his face and looked at the person beside him, his eyes were as deep as the sea, "But Su Jin, I have never made promises easily, since I promised my wife, this is my life's promise." I didn't know your identity before, I only had a brotherhood with you, but then I ......"
"Jun Ran, I ......" Su Jin frowned.
He was silent for a moment, then slowed down the speed of the carriage.
"You have him in your heart now, I know. Xiao Nanhao is very wrong, there is a sentence that is very right, your identity is with a person like Xiao Yan who must become a big thing, even if he gives you everything he has, but the fact that you have killed his nephew will always be blamed, you will live in such a shadow all your life, will you really be happy? ”
Su Jin turned her face away from him.
There is nothing wrong with what Jun Ran said about this matter.
There is too much involvement between her and Xiao Yan, even if it is placed in modern times, I am afraid that she will be talked about behind her back, let alone the ancient times of conservative and respectful etiquette?
One of the reasons why he left Xiao Yan was that he was afraid that what he did would have a bad impact on him?
"Su Jin, I don't want you to be sad." Jun Ran held her hand and said sincerely, "I can quit if you loved him before, and I won't fight for anything, but now you can't be together anymore, and I'm willing to take care of you." ”
Su Jin was silent and suddenly smiled.
"Jun Ran, I'll be even sadder with you."
Jun Ran was shocked.
"I don't love you, and I won't love you again, so I will make you fall into pain every day, as if waiting for a wish that will never come true, which is unfair to you and will make me sadder."
She withdrew her hand, took the reins from his hand, tugged hard, and when the carriage came to a stop, she jumped down, and looked back at Jun Ran with a bright gaze.
"You deserve better."
Jun Ran looked at her.
He didn't tell her that he would be glad to see her every day; He didn't tell her either, in fact, he didn't mind who Su Jin loved and who had happened to him, he believed that he would definitely make Su Jin fall in love with him; He didn't even tell Su Jin that this was the first time in his life, and it would even be the last confession.
He didn't say anything, and after a long, long time, he just said lightly.
"Hmm."
No one knows how hard it is for him to say this one word.
But no matter how difficult it is, he has to say it.
I can't, let you worry about me.
Even if I can't put it down at all.
The gaze was too deep, as if it carried countless entangled emotions, Su Jin turned his head as if fleeing, and looked at the grave that had been dug in front of him.
She chose the grave by her mother's side, hoping that they could meet in the underworld and talk as they did before their lives.
Jun Ran also got out of the car, picked up Xiao Lan, handed it to Su Jin, and turned around himself.
Su Jin took her to the river, helped her remove the dirty clothes, and scrubbed her a little bit with water in her hands.
Although it was a little late, she still hoped that Xiaolan could go to another world decently.
On the tree above her head, the dense branches and leaves had not yet begun to fall off, and the man in dark red was still wearing that cloak, lying leisurely on the tree, looking at the bright moon above his head.
His master asked him to protect Su Jin, but he didn't expect that this journey would be quite interesting.
Red Shadow took out a pack of paper from his arms, gently picked it open, and his slender and crystalline fingers felt out the sugar-coated peanuts inside, and threw them into his mouth with great satisfaction.
Hmm, it's so sweet!
is still the most suitable thing to eat, what kind of love, love, that is, they are ordinary people who want to torture themselves to death, and a man like him is still the most fond of all the best things in the world.
A bag of food was almost the same, and Su Jin also dressed Xiaolan.
She took Xiao Lan back, put her into the pit where Jun Ran had already laid the mat, and took a step back.
Jun Ran looked at her, turned his head and lifted the earth, and in a short time covered the small pit and became a new tomb.
Jun Ran wiped the sweat from his head and looked at Su Jin, "Next, what are we going to do?" ”
——
"Gross!" Xiao Hai looked at Xiao Nanhao lying in front of him, and finally spit out a mouthful of blood, so panicked that the people in the hall immediately knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty!" The new eunuch beside him screamed, and quickly turned his head and shouted, "Imperial Doctor, please Imperial Doctor."
Xiao Hai gasped for breath and looked at the guards who were kneeling in the hall to find Xiao Nanhao's body, "You tell me in detail!" What the hell is going on, why did my good prince die overnight? ”
"Return, return to Your Majesty." The chief of the guard swallowed his saliva, and his panicked voice was shaking, "A few lowly people went to patrol the night, and as a result, I saw His Royal Highness the Prince's carriage quietly parked in the shadows, and it was vaguely seen that His Highness seemed to be drinking alcohol sitting in the car. ”
"The lowly officials thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have his own reason for traveling late at night, and it was not easy to disturb, so they bowed silently in front of the car and retreated. However, when the lowly officials came back after touring the city, they found that His Highness's car was still parked in the same place, and the lights and candles on the car were not only lowered, but His Highness could not be seen from the window, so we thought that His Highness had come out of the carriage, but before passing by the car, we smelled blood, and when the lowly officials lifted the curtain, they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lying on the ground, and the bloody carriage was full of ......."
The guard kowtowed a few times, his voice frightened, as if he had returned to the moment when the curtain was lifted.
Xiao Hai's chest rose and fell violently, and he coughed again.
"And the first time you came over, did you see anyone else in the car?" He forcibly endured it and asked.
"I didn't see it clearly, but I heard it vaguely. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be still talking to people, and there should still be someone in the car. ”
And people!
Xiao Hai coughed again, almost fainting.
The imperial doctors hurriedly came, took the Shunqi Great Tonic Pill for Xiao Hai, and served him to eat it, and Xiao Hai was relieved.
At this moment, a little eunuch outside the hall quietly came in and replied, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Meng Cheng is here, saying that there is something extremely important to start for you." ”
Xiao Hai covered his face with his wide sleeves and spoke for a long time.
"Xuan."
As soon as Meng Fan stepped in, he saw that Xiao Hai's face was full of grief and indignation, he was stunned, his eyes turned, and he immediately saw Xiao Nanhao's corpse on the ground, and immediately opened his mouth and took a few steps back.
Xiao Nanhao...... He's dead?
"What?" Xiao Hai raised his eyes, and there was deep pain in his voice.
Meng Fan hadn't recovered from this huge shock, but when he heard Xiao Hai speak, he didn't know what to say for a while.
He used Xiao Lan as a bait and waited for Su Jin to throw himself into the net, and finally heard the movement last night, but the soldier said that the person was let down by Xiao Nanhao, and he also heard that he was going to bury her, which made Meng Fan immediately angry, and he couldn't figure out what he was doing.
He went to the door to find Xiao Nanhao's theory at that time, although he didn't find it, but for Meng Fan, he caught another news that could hit Xiao Nanhao in front of His Majesty.
That is-Xiao Nanhao actually brought back a woman yesterday!
As soon as he got the news, Meng Fan immediately rushed to the palace, intending to tell Xiao Hai about it, but who knows, Xiao Nanhao, who is not returning this night, is already lying here for a long time at the moment, if he still doesn't know how to complain at this moment, he is afraid that he will not be far from death.
Moreover, what made Meng Fan feel even more frightened was that as soon as Xiao Nanhao died, Xiao Yan was grounded, and now he was left with complete dominance, such a situation was only afraid that he would get himself into trouble.
Meng Fan's heart seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Who is it? Who killed Xiao Nanhao? Who disrupted his plans?
"Why don't you say it?" Xiao Hai was like a lion about to get angry at the moment, and smashed the tea bowl in his hand on Meng Fan's head, "Are you stupid here?" ”
"Bang!"
The force of this blow was not small, and Meng Fan's head suddenly broke a piece, and bright red blood flowed out.
He gritted his teeth, forcibly swallowed the injustice and hatred in his heart, and knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"Please forgive your majesty, Weichen was just frightened when he saw His Royal Highness's body, so he lost his honor in front of the palace......"
He paused and changed the topic, "Weichen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made an appointment to talk to the house, but His Royal Highness has not returned for a long time, the minister is panicked, his intuition is not good, and he heard that there are suspicious people in the palace recently, so he came to report to His Majesty, but who would have thought, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince He has already ......"
Meng Fan made a grief-stricken look, "Who is so bold as to dare to murder my Great Wei Prince!" ”
"Suspicious people?" Xiao Hai's eyebrows jumped, and he raised his head instantly, "Who is it?" ”
Meng Fan immediately led the topic over, "This Weichen only heard that it was a woman." ”
"Woman?" Xiao Hai's eyes were blazing.
Isn't it......
"Your Majesty, if you want to know who this woman is, why don't you summon His Royal Highness the Prince's personal guards to torture him, and it will naturally come to light." Meng Fan immediately knelt down and stepped forward, his eyes burning, "In addition, please allow Wei Chen to send someone to carefully inspect His Highness's carriage, maybe you can find some evidence about this assassin!" ”
Xiao Hai glanced at him deeply, and said to the eunuch beside him, "Listen, spread my will, and immediately put everyone in the prince's mansion under house arrest, and torture them one by one, until something comes out, don't be soft." ”
Meng Fan was overjoyed in his heart, waiting for Xiao Hai to give him a decree.
In the past, such things were left to me, but now I must seize the opportunity to regain His Majesty's trust.
However, Xiao Hai's next sentence made him fall into an ice cave.
"Order Yang Shaoping, the son of Yang Taifu, to immediately search the carriage that the prince was riding in tonight, and quickly return as soon as there is a clue, and at the same time Xuan Jin King Xiao Yan and Qi King Xiao Ze quickly enter the palace without delay!"
