Chapter 187: Well, I'm just kidding
The coolness of the autumn night rendered the capital, which was already shrouded in haze, even more sad and depressing.
Jiang Tingbai sat at the table, his slender and white fingers like green onions, and he was pounding on the table for a while. A pair of deep eyes, like the sea under the night sky, surging with incomprehensible terrifying waves.
After a moment, Jiang Tingbai's movements on his hand suddenly stopped.
In the next second, he had already stood up and walked in the direction of the door.
At this moment, in the room where the needle drop could be heard, a gust of wind mixed with cold suddenly blew through, blowing the candle flame placed on the table.
The candle flame jumped violently, as if it were lingering, fluttered twice, and then went out.
The room was instantly plunged into darkness and dead silence.
Jiang Tingbai stood motionless in place, and a pair of sword eyebrows that flew into the temples were immediately deeply knotted.
In the darkness, a cold, silver-glowing dagger suddenly appeared quietly.
Jiang Tingbai didn't see the dagger appear, but instinctively sensed the danger.
However, the other party did not give him any chance to react or resist, and the dagger was already pressed straight against his neck.
Feeling the coldness coming from his neck, Jiang Ting's white eyes turned cold.
"Your Excellency......"
"Shut your mouth!"
The same cold, cold, fierce voice sounded in his ears, and Jiang Tingbai couldn't help but feel moved.
Leng Yue, it turned out to be her?
Knowing that the person who came was Leng Yue, Jiang Tingbai's tense body relaxed. The momentum that was stiff and cold just now softened in an instant.
"Miss Leng is reluctant to let me go, so she came to see me?"
Cold Moon: "......"
What's wrong with this person's brain circuit?
"Have you ever seen a person who is reluctant to look at it this way?"
As he spoke, the dagger in Leng Yue's hand ruthlessly used force downward.
Jiang Tingbai only felt that his neck was cold at first, and then, a warm and sticky liquid slowly slid down his neck.
Jiang Tingbai: "......"
She actually did it!!
"Miss Leng, I'm just kidding."
"Well, I'm just kidding."
Jiang Tingbai: "......"
The first time I saw such a joke, it was because I had shallow knowledge.
Knowing that Leng Yue would not show mercy to his subordinates, Jiang Tingbai had no choice but to put away his banter and put on a serious expression.
Although, the cold moon can't be seen either.
"Miss Leng has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, since she is here, why don't you say something? …… No, I'll let me guess.
Miss Leng, are you interested in my transaction? ”
This was the only reason that Jiang Tingbai could think of, and Leng Yue would come to him.
However, Leng Yue felt sorry in her heart.
Does this person feel too good about himself?
"You're thinking too much."
Leng Yue replied with a serious face, and then said without distinguishing her emotions: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Xiliang Kingdom, come, come with me." ”
Jiang Tingbai: "??? ”
……
At the same time, in the imperial palace.
Ye Lan's funeral ceremony was placed in the apse of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Ye Mohan was wearing a white filial piety dress, his face was calm, he knelt in front of the funeral ceremony with his back straight, and quietly looked at the coffin containing Ye Lan's body in front of him.
He deliberately sent everyone away, and he was the only one who stayed here.
Father!
You may never have thought that one day, I will be the only one kneeling here to see you off for the last time.
There are so many things that happen during the day, Ye Mohan has no time to calm down and think about some things.
Now in the dead of night, some of the pictures he thought he had forgotten long ago flashed again in front of his eyes.
In her memory, Yelan never seemed to smile at herself.
In my memory, I didn't have a longing for father's love for Yelan. But after so many disappointments, it seems that I don't look forward to it.
Unexpectation and hatred are intertwined, and unconsciously, Ye Mohan realized that he had become something he didn't recognize.
Fortunately, I met Leng Yue.
"Cold Moon ......"
Thinking of the cold moon, Ye Mohan couldn't help but mutter. In the black eyes, a touch of sadness and sadness unconsciously overflowed.
Suddenly, there was an extra pair of hands on his shoulders.
Those hands were cold and soft, as if they were frost floating at the bottom of the 10,000-year-old cold pool.
Ye Mohan was shocked, and his eyes couldn't help but roll out of joy and disbelief.
He involuntarily grabbed the hand on his shoulder and turned his head to look back.
But when he saw the figure behind him, in an instant, the light in Ye Mohan's eyes retreated again.
Ye Mohan let go of his hand, turned around expressionlessly, and looked ahead again.
The change in the expression that flashed under Ye Mohan's eyes was all taken in by the slightest dye in his eyes.
Obviously, at that moment just now, he looked at himself with expectation, surprise, and disbelief.
Who is he expecting?
Unconsciously, Dye Li thought of the first time he saw Ye Mohan in the Chunjiang Building, at that time, he followed Leng Yue, like a child who didn't grow up and begged for candy from adults.
No matter how cold the moon was so cold to him, he seemed to be willing.
So, he's looking forward to the cold moon, right?
And just now, he seemed to have called Leng Yue's name.
Cold Moon!
Ran Li narrowed his eyes slightly.
Why, she can be so good? Born in the Zhenguo General's Mansion with a prominent family background, he is still a descendant. can have a life of fine clothes and food, a person like Ye Jiuchen, and a person like Ye Mohan, who loves her silently and guards her......
Envy?
Of course envy!
Dye Li has never shied away from what he really thinks in his heart, but more than envy, it is jealousy.
And resentment.
Although Leng Yue was the noble person who sent her all the way to a high place, she was indeed the one who caught her off guard and put her in a dilemma.
This time, Ye Lan's death, if she hadn't been careful in the cracks, I am afraid that it would have been affected a long time ago.
She has understood since she was sensible that nothing in this world can be dependent on others.
No one but yourself!
So......
Dye Li settled down, and all the heavy emotions in his eyes were all gone, and he replaced them with a look of concern and panic.
"Fourth prince, am I ...... Scares you? ”
Dye's voice is soft and gentle, and he speaks like a yellow bird in the hollow valley on weekdays, which is pleasant to the ear, and at this time, with such emotions and such expressions, people can't help but feel pity.
Ye Mohan paused, then shook his head slightly.
"It's okay, why are you here?"
Dye Li hung his head slightly, came to Ye Mohan's side from behind Ye Mohan, knelt down like him, and picked up the tray that was placed aside.
"You haven't eaten anything all day today, so I asked the imperial dining room to cook some chicken soup, and you can eat a little more."
Ye Mohan looked down at the chicken soup in front of him and moved his eyebrows slightly.
"Thanks, I'm not hungry."
"The ...... of the Four Princes"
Dye Li gently pursed his thin lips, and a pair of sparkling eyes, like cutting water, shone with a radiant and pitiful light.
"Although I was favored by the first emperor, but the first emperor did not give me any title, nor did he leave me anything, and now that the first emperor has died, if it were not for the four princes to protect me, I am afraid that I would have been in a different place at this time.
Dye Li just wants to thank the four princes, there is no other meaning, if the four princes feel embarrassed, Dye Li just leaves. ”
As he spoke, the chicken soup in his hand slowly drooped unhurriedly.
But if you look closely, you can see that although she lowered her eyes, she stared straight at the change in the expression on Ye Mohan's face.
Ye Mohan still looked down at the chicken soup in his hand, the light in his eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed to be a little hesitant and a little struggling.
Seeing this posture, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but scratch a almost invisible, fleeting arc.
Sure enough, in the next second, Ye Mohan's thin lips moved.
"Thank you."
As he spoke, Ye Mohan had already taken the chicken soup from Dye Li's hand, brought it to his lips, and took a few sips gently.
Seeing this, Dye Li finally felt at ease.
Ye Mohan returned the soup cup to Dye Li, Dye Li took it back, put it aside, but knelt beside Ye Mohan and did not leave.
Ye Mohan didn't stop it.
The two of them knelt side by side, facing Yelan's corpse, no one spoke, and no one got up.
In this way, I don't know how long it took, Ye Mohan suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head, and his eyelids were also groggy.
The center of his eyebrows wrinkled slightly uncomfortably, and Ye Mohan raised his hand and rubbed the position of his eyebrows.
Seeing this, Dye Li couldn't help but be cautious and asked with concern.
"The Four Princes? Fourth Prince, are you not feeling well? ”
Ye Mohan shook his head gently: "My head is a little dizzy, maybe it's because I'm too tired, it's okay, you go back and rest first." ”
"I'm fine, Fourth Prince, why don't I help you to lie down in the side hall, there are still many things to deal with tomorrow, if you fall, I'm afraid people will take advantage of it."
Dyeing away from Xiaozhi with reason and emotion, there is some truth in what he said.
Ye Mohan only thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Okay."
When the words fell, Dye Li had already put his hands on Ye Mohan's arms and helped the person up.
And when he knelt just now, he didn't feel it, but when he suddenly stood up like this, Ye Mohan couldn't help but shake his body.
Dye away from the eyes quickly, and pulled Ye Mohan's whole person to himself.
"Four princes, be careful!"
Ye Mohan noticed that the distance between himself and Dye was too close, and instinctively wanted to lean back, but for some reason, his body couldn't exert his strength, and his head became more and more dizzy.
Dye Li supported Ye Mohan with both hands, and his voice was gentle: "Let's go, I'll help you to rest." ”
After speaking, he supported Ye Mohan, who was floating in his footsteps, and walked in the direction of the side hall.
It's just that no one saw that at this moment, on her delicate and beautiful face, a cold and calculating sneer was shining.
