In an instant, his palms were red.

And in his eyes, it was even more death-like silence.

It seems that all the former light has disappeared.

Qi Changrong didn't know what was going on, but he was described as withered and embarrassed, and his gorgeous clothes were more like rolling in a mud pit.

She guessed.

There are not many people who can blow Yan Yiheng like he is now.

"Third Prince, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Yiheng, who looked stunned, heard the voice, turned his head indifferently, and looked at the source of the sound.

Under the moonlight, he saw a man.

The man's expression was indifferent, and there was nothing in his eyes.

Then, step by step, they approached him.

When he got closer, he could barely find his trace in the man's amber eyes.

Her eyes were like a mirror, clearly reflecting his unbearability.

"The third prince, I haven't seen you for a day, why do you make this appearance like ashes?"

Qi Changrong's voice was very light, mixed with the cold moonlight sprinkled on Yan Yiheng's heart.

Hearing this, his coolness spread throughout his body.

"Brother Qi, I met an assassin on my way home."

As soon as the words came out, Yan Yiheng's eyes became darker, and the bright red blood stains on his lips mixed with the silver-white moonlight made his whole person look a little weird.

Qi Changrong was unmoved, and sat down opposite Yan Yiheng, his voice as calm as ever: "What's so terrible about being assassinated?" Alone on the road, he also encountered a wave of assassins. ”

"The person who wants to kill me is in Cheng'an."

"People who want to kill orphans are in Shangjing."

After saying a word, Yan Yiheng's fluctuating emotions calmed down slightly, and his dark eyes flashed a little brighter.

He looked at the person in front of him, and under Qi Changrong's indifferent gaze, his fingers, which had been trembling unconsciously, began to slowly regain their calm.

Finally, he reached out and pulled the handkerchief from his bosom, carefully wiping the blood from his lips and between his fingers.

Yan Yiheng smiled bitterly: "In this way, Brother Qi and I are still sympathetic, and the people who want to kill us are all our countrymen, maybe they are still close relatives." ”

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became.

Before today, he didn't know that there were so many jackals, tigers and leopards hidden around him.

He was almost torn to shreds by the jackals.

Qi Changrong did not deny what Yan Yiheng said about the 'evil of loved ones', she reached out and tapped twice on the table: "Can the third prince tell Gu what happened tonight?" ”

"What happened tonight? I want to know, too. Yan Yiheng said in a low voice, and the light from the lantern on the corridor hit his face, reflecting a dimness: "The situation is too chaotic for me to say, but I am sure of one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Someone is trying to kill me."

"The obvious."

"That man is my dearest relative." Yan Yiheng took a deep breath, endured the sour tears in his eyes, and told Qi Changrong: "It's the second brother, he wants to kill me." ”

Yan Beichen?

Qi Changrong was taken aback.

But soon she calmed down again.

After all, in the last life, Yan Yiheng did die for unknown reasons in the end, and Yan Beichen sat on the throne.

Those who can be emperors are all ruthless people.

Yan Yiheng looked up at the sky, and forced the diffuse tears down again, as if only in this way would tears not flow out: "Tonight, the eldest brother sent someone to assassinate me, and among them were people from the second brother's mansion. ”

"I saw the marks on the back of the necks of those people, they were trained by the second brother himself, and they only listened to the words of the second brother."

"I never thought that it turned out that not only the eldest brother wanted my life, but even the second brother also wanted my life."

Yan Yiheng muttered: "But I don't understand, the eldest brother killed me because I was a thorn in his eye, but the second brother ...... What did he kill me for? ”

The half-curved moon hanging in the sky gradually moved westward, and was nearly half obscured by the dense trees.

Qi Changrong didn't have the desire to speak, she just sat quietly on the chair and listened to Yan Yiheng say word by word.

I don't know how long I spoke, but suddenly a low sobbing sound came from my ears.

Yan Yiheng couldn't hold back the sadness in his heart, supported his face with one hand, and cried out in embarrassment.

He's still too stupid to find the crux of the problem.

Qi Changrong listened for a while, and then said in a clear tone: "The relationship between the second prince and the third prince is extremely close, if he wants to kill you, there are many opportunities on weekdays." ”

"yes." Yan Yiheng nodded.

"But this time, he chose to send people to blend in with Yan Zheng's people, wanting to create the illusion that you died in the hands of Yan Zheng." Qi Changrong's voice was very soft, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

As she sorted it out, Yan Yiheng suddenly understood something, and her crying gradually stopped: "Second brother wants to frame the eldest brother? ”

"But why? It's true that the eldest brother wants to kill me, so why should the second brother do this? ”

Qi Changrong glanced at him: "Because the second prince is afraid that you will not die, there will be endless troubles." ”

Yan Yiheng didn't know why: "What do you mean?" ”

Until now, I still can't figure out the key to this.

Seeing this, Qi Changrong was confused by Yan Yiheng, and Qi Changrong sighed in his heart.

She finally understood why the previous generation of Yan Emperor would give the Lanxin Mansion to Yan Yiheng before he died, and use it as his safe place.

It was because this person lacked heart and eyes, and if he hadn't protected him more, he would have been split up and eaten by those people a long time ago.

As far as his brain is concerned, who has he fought against?

Qi Changrong smiled low and said, "It means that killing you will be beneficial to the second prince." ”

Hearing this, Yan Yiheng instantly understood that perhaps Qi Changrong had guessed something.

He reacted almost immediately, got up and bowed his hand, bowed deeply to Qi Changrong, and said heavily: "Please also ask Brother Qi to solve your doubts, I don't want to die in vain." ”

"The second prince is here to kill you and save you."

"When you die at the hands of Yan Zheng, the people of the second prince will definitely desperately rescue your body, and while framing Yan Zheng, they also happen to curry favor with them and become their benefactor."

"For example, the Jin family standing behind the third prince."

"Once the Jin family learns that the third prince died at the hands of Yan Zheng, they will definitely hate him to the bone and seek revenge. And the second prince, as the benefactor who snatched back your body and saved your bones from being gone, will definitely make the Jin family feel good, plus the two have the same enemy, and they will naturally become a help in his hands in the future. ”

Anyway, why don't you understand?

Qi Changrong had already said it very clearly, and she almost guessed Yan Beichen's thoughts.

Because if she were to change her position, she would also use the same way to get the help of the Jin family.

Because of Yan Yiheng for a day, he will not let the Jin family step into the royal whirlpool for a day, and waste the influence of the century-old family in vain.

Only when he dies can Yan Beichen take advantage of the situation and make the Jin family another knife in his hands.

After listening, no matter how stupid Yan Yiheng was, he understood Yan Beichen's plan at this moment.

Seeing this, Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows again and said: "The third prince is willing to let the Jin family be dusted, but more people are fighting the Jin family's idea. ”

Yan Yiheng was stunned, very unsure: "Is it because of this!" Second brother, he actually wanted to ...... Ninety-five supreme? ”

He always thought that the second brother was an outsider and didn't care about the involvement of the world.

But the truth turned out to be the complete opposite of what he had guessed.

For the sake of that position, he would rather kill his own brother, who had grown up with him since childhood.

"Yes, he didn't just want it, he wanted it."

Qi Changrong affirmed Yan Yiheng's guess.

At the same time, she had a new understanding of Yan Beichen's personality.

This person's ruthlessness is probably no less than his own.

If she didn't have the memory of her previous life, she wouldn't be able to guess Yan Beichen's mind so accurately.

If everything was for the Jin family, then it would not be surprising that Yan Beichen would take action to eradicate Yan Yiheng.

"He wants that position, but why didn't he tell me?"

Qi Changrong said lightly: "What's the use of telling you?" I told you, not only will you not support him, but you may also stop him and become a stumbling block for him. ”

Once the Jin family learned of his plot in advance, coupled with Yan Yiheng by his side, Yan Beichen naturally could not achieve his goal.

As soon as these words came out, Yan Yiheng stopped talking.

He really wanted to find another excuse for Yan Beichen, but no matter what he thought, what came to his mind was the scene where he almost died in front of the big knife tonight.

At that moment, he was so close to death.

Just a little bit, there is no Yan Yiheng in this world.

Qi Changrong saw through his confusion and asked, "From now on, what does the third prince plan to do?" ”

Yan Yiheng only felt that there was no way forward: "What can I do?" ”

"You have two choices, one is to continue to nest in the Lanxin Mansion, as long as you stay here, you can have no worries about your life."

"The second is to be a help in the hands of your second brother when you don't know what to do, and help him ascend to the throne wholeheartedly."

Hearing this, Yan Yiheng clenched his fists tightly, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he said with difficulty: "He wants to kill me, but I want to help him, what is the reason?!" ”

"In front of the fist, reason is useless." Qi Changrong looked at him with pity: "Except for these two roads, you have no way to go." ”

Yan Yiheng gritted his teeth: "Even if I die in Lanxin Mansion, I won't help him!" ”

"Yes." Qi Changrong's face was slightly pale, and he had no opinion on his choice.

She paused, and then asked with a normal face: "If it is your second brother who ascends the throne, can Gu still get the book of peace?" ”

"I don't know." Yan Yiheng said dejectedly: "I have never seen through him, how can I know what he is thinking?" ”

Qi Changrong frowned slightly, pursed the corners of his lips and said, "Then it's a little troublesome." ”

If she can't get the book, she can't go back.

And even she wasn't sure if she would choose not to do anything when Yan Beichen successfully ascended to the throne of Yan Kingdom, and would simply kill her.

After all, in the turmoil of the struggle for position, it is normal to die a person.

It seems that the original plan needs to be changed.

In this way, you can get what you want.

The light in Qi Changrong's eyes flickered and faded, and finally he was hidden under the moonlight, leaving no trace.
