Chapter Ninety-Six: The Rose Has Not Been Removed
After Xue Yi finished speaking, she felt a burst of regret in her heart, and peeked at Xiao Yichen Although she pretended to be fine, a fine light flashed in her eyes, and there was a little more playfulness and suspicion in her eyes. ET
Xue Yi knew that she had lost her words for a while, she touched a weakness that should not be touched, that was Xiao Yichen's unspeakable secret!
Recently, although she and Xiao Yichen can be called happy and affectionate, she knows very well in her heart that the affection at this time is only because she will die soon, because of the little guilt in Xiao Yichen's heart. If her poison is cured tomorrow, her father will return to the court tomorrow, and after the head-to-head confrontation with Xiao Yichen begins, Xiao Yichen will probably treat her like she first entered the palace, or she will be even more cold and cruel than then!
Neither of them spoke anymore, and the study could hear each other's heartbeats.
Xiao Yan's timely appearance broke the embarrassment between the two.
Xiao Yi glanced at Xue Yi and muttered a few words softly in Xiao Yichen's ear, Xiao Yichen frowned, and glanced at Xue Yi from the corner of his eye, Xue Yi knew that the two must have something important to discuss, so she smiled and bowed her knees to retire.
Xiao Yichen stared at Xue Yi's back, and seemed to have made a lot of determination to stop her: "Xue'er might as well stay and listen." ”
Xue Yi didn't turn back, sometimes the less you know, the better, if Xiao Yichen really believed in herself, then she wouldn't have that meaningful look just now, she is now kicking in and out of the door, Xiao Yichen's news may just be a politeness, or a temptation when it is difficult to decide.
Xue Yi turned her back to Xiao Yichen: "Lord Wang, it's getting late, the concubines are a little tired, it's not too late to talk about anything tomorrow." ”
Xiao Yi looked at Xue Yi's back and nodded approvingly, he knew Xiao Yichen very well, at this time he might be able to trust Xue Yi, if he really leaked the news, then he would be the first to suspect Xue Yi!
Xiao Yichen did not keep Xueyi.
The news that Xiao Yi brought from the Pear Blossom Festival was similar to the news that Xue Yi heard in Jinguang Temple, both of which were Xiao Yishuo's intention to seize the throne and kill the holy driver, but Xiao Yichen always felt that something was wrong, but where there was a problem, he couldn't say it clearly for a while.
"Xiao Yan, if something happens tonight, what are our chances of winning?" Xiao Yichen stared thoughtfully at the sand table.
Xiao Yan's hand moved slowly on the sand table, the location where the troops were concentrated was the closest to Shuangfeng City, and General Feng Chi in the city could rebel against some of them, but there were only dozens of people in the Praetorian Guard who Xiao Yu could master, and after hesitating for a long time, Xiao Yu replied with some solemnity: "Fifty percent." ”
"What if I have an edict from the emperor?"
"Sixty percent."
Under normal circumstances, the edict of succession is an absolute holy decree, and no one can and cannot violate it, but under normal circumstances, the current Invite Moon Kingdom is not normal! If Xiao Yishuo had arranged everything a long time ago, if he had completely mastered the cabinet and the prime minister at this time, then even the emperor's handwritten edict could become fake!
How could Xiao Yichen not know the truth of this.
"Lord, the key is that we can't be sure when the four princes will make a move, if we send troops now, not to mention the grass and snakes, I'm afraid it will expose our power in the palace." Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yichen worriedly.
Xiao Yichen supported his chin with one hand, was silent for a long time, and suddenly stared at Xiao Yu and asked, "Xiao Xiao, if you were Xiao Yishuo, would you leak such a confidential operation?" Even the slightest?! ”
Xiao Yu nodded without hesitation: "Naturally not." ”
"Could it be that the prince suspects that there is fraud in this? But how did Lan Xuewu know in advance that the princess was going to Jinguang Temple to offer incense? According to the time mentioned by the princess, they should be one after the other, and I also happened to see that most of the soldiers and horses who maintained order suddenly withdrew, leaving only a small part of the armor in a small place, and I guessed that there was a problem in it. ”
Xiao Yichen nodded and looked at the moonlight outside the window: "I'll go to detoxify Xueyi first, and on the third watch, you and I will pretend to go into the palace to find out." ”
"Bang bang......" Xiao Yichen's voice fell, and a gentle knock sounded outside the door.
"Who?!" Xiao Yichen vigilantly grasped the sword on the wall and gave Xiao Yu a look, and Xiao Yu hurriedly hid behind the door.
"Lord Wang, the slave maid was ordered by my princess to invite the prince." Princess Lanhe's maid star fruit whispered outside the study.
"You go back to your princess, stay for a while, and the king will arrive." Xiao Yichen frowned, and the star fruit didn't seem to leave, still standing outside the door.
Xiao Yichen impatiently opened the door: "What's the matter?" ”
Carambola suddenly knelt on the ground: "The princess has a life, order the slave and the maid to go back with the prince, if the prince does not go to see the princess, the slave and maid are waiting here." ”
Xiao Yichen wanted to be angry, but Xiao Yu hurriedly coughed and retired: "The prince has family affairs, so the last general will retire first." ”
Xiao Yichen had no choice but to follow the star fruit to the bedroom of Princess Lan He, since the wedding, this is the second time Xiao Yichen has come to Lan He's house, in order to give Leng Fengyue an explanation in the future, but also for self-preservation, Xiao Yichen has nothing to do and is easily unwilling to be alone with Lan He, so he has to come here today. As soon as he walked into the moon gate, Lan He threw himself into Xiao Yichen's arms, hugged Xiao Yichen's bee waist, and said coquettishly with a smile: "How can the prince thank Lan He for me?" ”
Xiao Yichen's second monk was puzzled, looked at Lan He's excited appearance and asked curiously, "What is it that makes Lan He's sister so happy?" ”
Lan He let go of his hand, pouted and tilted his head to stare at Xiao Yichen, his big eyes shining: "Brother Chen, I don't like you to call me Sister Lan He." ”
"And what do you want me to call you?" Xiao Yichen smiled helplessly, it was really a little girl's temper, and she cared so much about a title.
"Call me Lan'er like Xueyi." Lan He stared at Xiao Yichen seriously.
Xiao Yichen really couldn't call out for a while: "Lan He, don't make trouble, what is the matter with me, I still have important things to do here." ”
Lan He's affection was suddenly gloomy, and she stared at Xiao Yichen faintly: "Brother Chen, you have changed, when I was in the Wind Dance Country before, no matter how I pestered you, you wouldn't bother me, but now you annoy me......." After the words came on, she choked up and couldn't speak, and tears rolled down.
Xiao Yichen hurriedly hugged Lan He into his arms and gently patted her fat back: "Where did I bother you, it's just that Brother Chen really has something important tonight." ”
"Lan He knows that Brother Chen's important thing is nothing more than Xue Yi's injury, Brother Chen," Lan He suddenly raised his head, staring at Xiao Yichen with big black eyes and asked, "If I can cure Xue Yi's injury, will you leave her?" ”
"How could Lan He ask that? Do you have a way to detoxify?! Xiao Yichen grabbed Lan He's shoulders unwillingly.
Lan He felt Xiao Yichen's excitement and eagerness, the anticipation and hope in those eyes were like a hammer smashing Lan He's heart, she guessed correctly, her brother Chen had fallen in love with that beautiful Xue Yi!
That's absolutely not a no!
"You only answer me, if I can cure Xue Yi's poison, can you let her leave the palace?!" Lan He must drive Xue Yi away, she can tolerate any woman by Xiao Yichen's side, but she must not tolerate a woman that Xiao Yichen likes.
"Lan He, don't you get along well with Xueyi? She's a very nice woman to get along with, why do you have to chase her away? Xiao Yichen let go of the hand holding Lan He with some disappointment.
"Because you love her! And I fell in love with you when I was eight years old! Brother Chen, you can be with other women, and you can even have children, but I will never allow you to fall in love with someone else! I can't tolerate that person who loves you too! Your heart can only belong to me Lan He alone! Lan He stared at Xiao Yichen and finally shouted.
Xiao Yichen shook his head, he didn't want to make Lan He unhappy, and he didn't want to argue with her: "Lan He, it's not too early, you should rest, as for Xue Yi's poison, whether it's good or not, it's up to fate, if you really have a heart for Brother Chen, tell me the antidote method, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you." Xiao Yichen said and turned around and left Lan He's courtyard.
"Xiao Yichen! You bastard! To hell with your snow! Blue Lotus screamed hoarsely.
Yang hurriedly hugged Lan He, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes distressedly, and said, "Why should the princess fight with a living dead?" ”
Lan He looked at the star fruit blankly, heartbroken, today she Xiao Yichen said that she would take her to the Pear Blossom Festival to enjoy the flowers, she was very happy, even if she went with Xue Yi to her satisfaction, who knew that Xue Yi would not go, Xiao Yichen was not willing to give up when she accompanied her, where was to accompany her to relax, it was obvious that there was a thorn in her eyes, in the end, he quietly returned to the palace to accompany Xue Yi, leaving her and Xiao Yu at the Pear Blossom Festival.
It would be okay if Xue Yi fought with her, but Xue Yi was so generous, and she was even more honest, she only had a month or even less than a month, hoping that she could give her a chance, a chance to accompany Xiao Yichen.
Lan He was annoyed and knocked down the peony on the branch.
Carambola rolled her eyes: "Why don't you bring the girl in the feather dress?" ”
"You mean ......?" Lan He stared at the star fruit, and the star fruit nodded.
Lan He hesitated a little, Yu Shang is Xiao Yichen's favorite concubine in Fengwu Villa, who doesn't know who in the Wind Dance Country, the former Xiao Yichen is suave, chic and amorous, there are hundreds of singers and dancers in Fengwu Villa alone, that is, those first-class maids are also Xiao Yichen selected and picked and picked the top people, the Fengwu Villa of the day is the paradise of the top ten officials in the Wind Dance Dynasty, and among the many beauties, Xiao Yichen favors a dancer named Yushang, as far as Lan He knows, the son of Xue Feng has asked Xiao Yichen for feather clothes several times, Xiao Yichen sent hundreds of beauties in one go, but he didn't give this feather dress.
Lan He knew that the intention of the star fruit was to use the feather coat to share Xueyi's favor, but she was worried that the rose would grow again before the thorns were removed.
