Chapter 225: Rainbow on a Rainy Night
"Isn't this coming to see you?" Bai Ling laughed, "I've been stuffy in the Lan brand for the past few years, and I haven't had a chance to come to you." β
Yikang's expression slowly softened in the firelight.
"I'll take you around the mountains tomorrow." Yikang chuckled softly, "It's not early today, go and rest." β
β¦β¦
The next morning, Chen Yicong woke up from a nightmare.
He dreamed of his father again.
I don't know why, even though he is taller and stronger than his father back then, in his dreams, he is still a child.
Even anger, even hatred, even sorrow, can not compete with the father.
Lu Dou on the side hurriedly handed over the towel, looking at the emperor's wheezing and bloodless face, he said with some distress, "The emperor has a nightmare again?" β
"Hmm." Chen Yicong nodded indifferently, and quickly adjusted from the previous state, "Open the window, it's too boring." β
"Huh."
Lu Dou ordered someone to open the window, Chen Yicong looked up, and saw that there was a cloud outside the hall today.
All day, Chen Yicong was a little absent-minded.
Thunderstorms in June have always been crisp, but today it was dull all day, and it was only in the evening that the thunder was faintly heard, as if it was about to rain.
He couldn't tell why, it always felt like something was going to happen.
At night, Chen Yicong dropped his pen and rarely paced in the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"What about the brocade guard of Xuanqingguan?" Chen Yicong finally reacted, "Why hasn't anyone come over tonight yet?" β
Before he finished speaking, a blue-blue lightning suddenly lit up outside, and then a thunderclap exploded in the sky.
Lu Dou was first startled by the emperor, and then by the lightning and thunder, he swallowed his saliva and said softly, "The emperor doesn't need to worry, the road is not easy to walk on a rainy day, so it will be delayed." β
Chen Yicong was obviously not persuaded by such a reason.
With each passing moment, he became more irritable than before.
There is no reason for this kind of irritability, if it was in the past, he might still be able to restrain it, but today, since he opened his eyes, there has been an inexplicable uneasiness that makes people restless.
After another half an hour, the sound of footsteps finally came from outside the Heart Cultivation Palace.
The footsteps were different from usual, the soles of the visitors' shoes were on the ground, there was an extra creaking sound, and it sounded as if the boots were soaked in rain.
Chen Yicong got up to greet him, and almost bumped into Cheng Li.
- Establishment's face was covered in rain and mud, and there were a few scratches of blood on the back of his bare hands.
The uneasiness in Chen Yicong's heart reached its peak in an instant.
"Why are you so embarrassed?"
"Your Majesty ......" Cheng Li's voice was slightly entangled, "Xuanqing Guan...... Something went wrong. β
β¦β¦
In the pouring rain, Chen Yicong galloped on his horse.
About two or three figures behind him, the brocade guard followed closely.
The rain soaked through his hair and soaked his clothes, and he didn't even bother to put on his hat and let the wind and rain of the night blow in.
This scene is somewhat familiar.
On a thunderstorm night when he was a teenager, he also rushed into the rain as desperately as he did tonight...... I just want to get to my sweetheart as soon as possible.
Lightning and thunder alternately appeared above their heads, emitting terrifying lights and sounds, but Chen Yicong only felt that the sky and the earth were quiet, he could not hear the rain, the thunder, or the hooves of the horses below him or behind him.
At this moment, in my mind, only Cheng Li's words echoed repeatedly.
- Bai Ling jumped off a cliff
- Bai Ling jumped off a cliff
- Bai Ling jumped off a cliff
Approaching the dock, Chen Yicong did not slow down like the others, but still rushed forward with all his strength, until the stone road of the pier was close at hand, and he suddenly reined in his horse and jumped directly from the horse.
Horses neighed in the rain.
Dismounting, changing boats, docking...... At the foot of the Xuanqing Temple, there are already people waiting on the shore with umbrellas and torches.
As soon as Chen Yicong came ashore, they immediately took the emperor to the mountain.
"What's going on?" Chen Yicong's voice was hoarse, "People are so good, why did they fall into the mountain stream!" β
"Back to ...... Your Majesty," the brocade guard on the side said with difficulty, "The subordinates are already looking for-"
"I'm asking you! Why do people fall back into the mountain stream!! Chen Yicong was furious, "On such a rainy day, you actually let her go to the edge of the cliff alone!?" How do you guys behave!? β
"Your Majesty...... Originally, the county lord was with Bai Ling. Jin Yiwei quickly replied, "Because ...... Because this morning, the county lord said that sometimes on a rainy night in the mountains and forests, you can see a rainbow under the reflection of the moonlight, so-"
"Then why did Bai Ling fall!"
ββ¦β¦ The subordinates don't know," said the brocade guard, trembling, "and we have been watching in the shadows, and Miss Bai Ling sat there with an umbrella for more than an hourβand then, and then ......"
His words paused, and his voice fell, "Then she suddenly threw away her umbrella and rushed to the edge of the cliff in a few steps, and before we could react, people were-"
Before he finished speaking, the brocade guard suddenly felt a cold light on his waist - the embroidered spring knife on his waist was suddenly pulled out by Chen Yicong, and the cold blade instantly leaned against his neck.
In the heavy rain, everyone stopped.
The umbrella in the hand of the brocade guard, who was held to his neck with a knife, fell, and the torrential rain fell on his face, and he blinked in horror.
Chen Yicong's eyes were red in the rain curtain, like a lion who had lost his mind.
"Your Majesty! Now it's important to find someone! If you want to be held accountable, you can chase it at any time! Behind him, Cheng Li, who finally caught up with the large army, almost shouted and said this sentence, "Let's go to the scene of the incident first, this person was at the scene at the time, and we can only find someone if we keep him!" β
Chen Yicong sneered, he took two steps back, abandoned the knife, and strode up the mountain along the stone steps.
The mountains are getting higher and higher.
Everyone ran out of breath, but no one dared to stop.
After tossing and turning a few small roads, there were suddenly more officers and soldiers on both sides of the road who had been holding torches. When I passed through the last pine forest, the view suddenly widened.
On the edge of the cliff, Yikang was sitting in the rain and crying, shouting Bai Ling's name to the mountain stream.
Chen Yicong, who has been rushing all the way here, is like a lost soul at this moment, and he can't walk.
He staggered over to Yikang's side, and in the heavy rain, everything seemed to have lost its color.
At his feet, there is only the bottomless mountain forest.
Chen Yicong wanted to cry several times, but found that his sour eyes could no longer shed a single tear.
He opened his mouth slightly, his chest heaving violently.
Facing the quiet and deep hill at his feet, Chen Yicong's lips and teeth moved slightly, and his voice was almost inaudible in the rain.
He was repeating Bai Ling's name, but everything in the mountains and forests was silent in the night, only the sound of the wind, the rain, and the weeping of Yikang.
"I was wrongβ"
Chen Yicong finally let out a long howl of pain.
"It's my mistake, Bai Lingβ"
