Chapter 320: Night Moon
In the middle of the night, Yan Yiheng, who entered the palace to chat about filial piety, was specially left to eat, and drove out in the palace car.
He stepped on the boat alone, the cool night breeze blew the corners of his clothes, and the cold silk hair was wrapped around his eyelids.
He was reflected in the lake in his entirety.
Looking at the Lanxin Mansion at this time, Yan Yiheng had mixed emotions in his heart.
When he was in the palace, he got the news that Xiangyu did not follow Yan Beichen to leave, but stayed in Lanxin's mansion.
Rely.
The housekeeper invited people to leave several times, but not only did she not leave, but she also stayed in the main courtyard.
I haven't left until now.
For this younger sister who has been raised since childhood, he doesn't know what attitude to use.
He knew her careful thoughts, and his heart was bitter as if he had soaked in coptis water, but he couldn't say a word.
In the past, Xiangyu liked Yan Beichen, although he felt helpless, but he never tried to stop it, and always had a natural attitude.
But since he learned that Yan Beichen had murderous intentions towards him, no matter how Yan Yiheng disguised himself, he couldn't hide the helplessness in his heart.
He knew that Xiangyu liked the second brother, but at the same time, he also knew very well that even if he told Sun Xiangyu all this.
She would just scratch her head and smile stupidly, and then do everything possible to tell him that he had misunderstood.
How could the second brother want to kill him?
They are the dearest and dearest brothers in the world.
In the face of such a simple girl, how can he open his mouth?
How can you be ruthless and let her choose between the two?
He was even more afraid that the one who was abandoned would be himself.
As long as he thought that he might face such a scene, Yan Yiheng felt as if his head had exploded, and the pain was incomparable.
When the boat docked, the butler was waiting by the red door of the house, and the noble and straight figure became the most beautiful point of light in the darkness.
Yan Yiheng walked over, looking quite embarrassed.
At this time, he was like a child who was holding on to his secrets, and he didn't want to be known to outsiders.
The housekeeper is the eyes and ears of Lanxin Mansion, and there are few things in the mansion that can really hide from him.
As if seeing the helplessness and bitterness in his heart, the housekeeper didn't ask anything, a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, and his smile was only more gentle when he saw him.
"Lord Wang, Miss Xiangyu is still waiting in the main courtyard."
Hearing this, Yan Yiheng's eyes were even more embarrassed.
The only thing he was glad about was that the lanterns were dim enough that he didn't have to elaborate on his expression.
She waited for him, and estimated that as soon as she opened her mouth, it was about Yan Beichen.
But today he really didn't have the heart to deal with it.
Yan Yiheng had a wooden face and was expressionless: "Just let her wait, you go and tell him, just say that I won't go home tonight." ”
The long silence and the discomfort in his chest made his voice hoarse.
It wasn't until after he opened his mouth that Yan Yiheng suddenly found out.
That night's assassination had a great impact on him.
Hearing this, the housekeeper didn't ask anything, but said with some embarrassment: "Where is the prince going to rest today?" ”
Lyceum Mansion has many yards.
But Yan Yiheng's favorite is still the main courtyard he chose, so much so that he ignores other places.
The small courtyards are like another enclosed space.
Not only has it never been well cared for, but it's also very likely to be dusty these days, so it's really not a good place to rest.
Yan Yiheng paused, suddenly raised his head, turned his gaze to the towering Lanyue Tower in Lanxin Mansion, and reluctantly pulled his lips: "Has Brother Qi rested?" ”
"Now that the time has passed, I must have fallen asleep."
Yan Yiheng acted as if he hadn't heard it, and walked straight to the direction of Lanyue Tower.
As he walked, he muttered to himself: "Today he came to the mansion, I will go to ask Brother Qi what they said between them." ”
Butler: "......"
Paused to look at the direction Yan Yiheng left, there seemed to be a dark light in the housekeeper's eyes, low and gloomy, but it quickly disappeared.
After a long time, a smile suddenly opened on his face.
After another moment, the smile faded.
Very good.
He tortured his little master like this.
It's really good.
The housekeeper couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
He hadn't been so angry in years since he had been ordered to stay at the Lan Xin Mansion.
Not only is he angry with others, but he is also angry with himself.
Looking at this scene now, he knew what was happening, but he was powerless to stop it.
It's not that you can't do it, it's that you can't do it.
Yan Guo ......
It is no longer the Yan Kingdom when the emperor was still there.
He is no longer a naughty boy of a few years old who does what he wants.
There are some things that need to be considered in the big picture.
For example, if there is no second prince and the eldest prince, who can still sit in that position?
……
Outside Lanyue Tower, Qi Changrong, who had already fallen asleep, was woken up from the collapse.
Bursts of shouting accompanied by knocks on the door made the scalp tingling in the middle of the night.
Qi Changrong suddenly opened his eyes, his brain was instantly awake, and there was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes: "Who is outside?" ”
A moment later, the house was lit by dim candlelight.
With the slight sound of the door opening.
It seems that Shixia went out for a trip.
Soon, the footsteps came to the bed, and a sleepy voice came from outside the heavy bed tent: "It's the third prince." ”
Expected answer.
Qi Changrong looked at the top of the bed and let out a long sigh of relief.
She had thought that he would be able to endure asking again tonight.
But now it seems that she thinks too highly of him.
The heavy bed tent was lifted open from the outside and placed on clips on either side.
Suddenly, the dim light shone in, and the scene on the sheets was unobstructed.
Seeing this, Qi Changrong slowly got up, stretched out his hand and pressed his aching temples, quite helpless: "Where is he now?" ”
Shi Xia patted his face, tried to cheer up, and said with a strange expression: "The third prince invited His Royal Highness to enjoy the moon together." ”
Yes.
It was from above that the voice came down.
Hearing this, the corners of Qi Changrong's mouth couldn't help but tremble twice, and he sighed: "It's a big night, the third prince is in really good spirits." ”
"Are you going?"
"That's it." Qi Changrong turned over and went down, put on his boots with his hands, and instructed Shi Xia: "With the help of this, you can't ignore the master's house too much, change clothes for Lonely, and Lone will meet him for a while." ”
"Yes." Shi Xia responded, took off the spare clothes from the screen, and dressed Qi Changrong one by one.
Before going out, Qi Changrong suddenly asked, "What about Xie Meng?" ”
Although Shi Xia didn't understand why Qi Changrong mentioned Xie Meng in the middle of the night, he still answered truthfully: "Zhengxiang who slept in the next room." ”
Qi Changrong was a little surprised: "Such a loud noise didn't wake her up?" I slept so soundly. ”
Shi Xia twitched, not knowing how to answer.
She had a faint illusion, as if what His Highness had just wanted to say was-
How do you sleep like a pig?
Fortunately, His Royal Highness has excellent self-cultivation, and he was stunned to replace the complex emotions in his heart with the word steadfast.
Qi Changrong shook his head with a smile, and said softly: "Shangjing sent her a private letter, early tomorrow morning, you remember to go to the study and take it out to her." ”
"Yes."
After finishing speaking, Qi Changrong went to the appointment alone.
Only the breeze and the moonlight accompany her.
The view from the top of the Lanyue Building is excellent.
But no matter how good a career is, it can't stand the darkness of the night, and there is darkness everywhere.
Only the moon hung overhead with a soft glow.
It's as if you can touch it when you stretch out your hand.
When Qi Changrong walked up, Yan Yiheng was sitting at the very edge of the building, his legs dangling in the air.
"The third prince came late at night to disturb people's dreams, but he didn't want to die?"
A mocking and joking voice came from behind him, and the familiar sound quality made Yan Yiheng think back to his place.
He looked back, Qi Changrong had already walked to the short self on the top of the building and sat down.
Yan Yiheng tilted his head, his eyes were resentful: "Brother Qi doesn't have anything to say to me?" ”
"I don't dare to say it." Qi Changrong had a smile in his eyes: "I'm afraid that as soon as I open my mouth, I will stimulate the third prince, so that the third prince will fall from the top of the building." ”
"In this way, tomorrow Cheng'an should set off a monstrous wave called 'The Prince of Jin State Murdered the Third Prince of Yan Kingdom'."
Hearing this, for some reason, Yan Yiheng's mood suddenly became less heavy.
He sat here for about a stick of incense, and he wanted to experience the feeling of being on the verge of life and death again, but until he sat down, he couldn't make waves in his heart.
Looking at the bottomless dark whirlpool under his feet, he was not afraid or happy.
After a long time, Yan Yiheng got up and returned to sit opposite Qi Changrong.
The tables and chairs on the roof of Lanyue were set up by Qi Changrong.
She originally wanted to find a suitable time to go upstairs to watch the moon, but she didn't expect that this month would be a view, but there was one more uninvited guest.
After sitting down, Yan Yiheng looked at Qi Changrong faintly: "Can Brother Qi say it now?" ”
"What does the third prince want to know?"
"I wonder what deal you made with him today?"
"He asked Lone to help him ascend to the throne with all his might."
"Brother Qi agreed?"
"Nature."
The two plain words, like a huge rock falling from the sky, smashed heavily on Yan Yiheng's heart, making his heart sink fiercely.
"In exchange, what does Brother Qi want from him?"
"After the deed was completed, Lone wanted the letter of surrender written by him himself, and wanted Yan Guo to bow down to the Jin State."
"He won't say yes."
"He agreed."
With a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, Qi Changrong looked straight at Yan Yiheng, catching the panic in his eyes, and what he said was the most cruel in the world.
When the words landed, Yan Yiheng's face stiffened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, and the anger from his heart almost tore him apart.
Seeing this, Qi Changrong was a little curious: "Why does the third prince think that the second prince will not agree to Lone's conditions?" ”
Yan Yiheng gritted his teeth, and his voice was angry: "In my heart, I always thought that no matter how ruthless he was, no matter how much he wanted that position, he would not make a choice that was unfavorable to Yan Guo. ”
However, the truth slapped him hard and told him the truth.
It turned out to be his whimsical again.
For that chair, for that supreme position, Yan Beichen ...... Even the honor and disgrace of the country can be abandoned.
"Writing a letter of surrender makes it so difficult for the third prince to accept?"
