Chapter Ninety-Five: Why Lie
Luo Yao shook his head, and wondered again, "Why did you pay attention to this matter?" ”
Snake Ji hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, when I was in the Demon Realm, I once saw that person who colluded with the Demon Clan. ”
Luo Yao sat up straight and looked straight at her, "Have you seen it?" ”
Serpentine nodded, adding, "I've only seen the man's back, though. On that day, I happened to pass by Hanchen's dormitory, and I saw Hanchen talking in the garden with a man dressed as a god. I didn't dare to get too close, I only glanced at it from a distance, and vaguely heard them mention Yuejue, and I didn't pay attention to it at that time......"
Luo Yao interrupted her and asked, "Do you see who that person is?" ”
Snake Ji recalled for a while and shook her head, "It was getting late, and I was far away, and I only vaguely saw a back, and I couldn't recognize who it was. ”
Luo Yao was a little disappointed, but he still refused to give up, "If you remember it well, maybe you can remember it." ”
Snake Ji nodded, "Okay, I'll try." ”
"Huh? Si Ming Xingjun, what are you doing standing at the door, why don't you go in? ”
The civet's voice suddenly sounded, startling Luo Yao and the others.
Luo Yao looked at the door and saw Jie Ran standing there, and he didn't know how long he had been here.
Seeing her looking over, Jie Ran walked in casually, and said, "I just arrived, and when I saw you talking, I stood at the door for a while and didn't come in." ”
For some reason, Luo Yao subconsciously began to guard against Jie Ran. At this time, she smiled and said, "We didn't say anything, just talked about some interesting things." ”
Jie Ran raised his head and looked at her fixedly, Luo Yao's heart suddenly became weak, don't start, and asked the civet, "Is the supper ready?" I can smell the scent. ”
Hua Ci smiled and brought a few plates of freshly baked side dishes and snacks, and replaced the tea in the teapot with freshly brewed hot tea, and then said to Jie Ran, "Si Ming Xingjun, the princess has refused to eat well these days, and since she was a child, she is only willing to listen to Xingjun's words." Later, you must persuade the princess to eat more. ”
Jie Ran nodded and said, "Hmm." ”
The civet blessed her body and pulled the snake queen to retreat together.
Snake Ji glanced at Luo Yao as she left, and Luo Yao nodded at her and said nothing else.
The sound of closing the door sounded, Luo Yao turned her head, and saw that Jieran was putting vegetables on her plate, and said busily, "I'll just come by myself." ”
Jie Ran didn't listen, and gave her some of each dish, saying, "These must be eaten." ”
Luo Yao pouted, "It's a big night, you will gain weight if you eat so much." ”
"It's good to gain weight, look at how thin you are now." Jie Ran said.
Luo Yao couldn't, so he had to obediently bury his head in eating.
After eating for a while, I heard Jieran ask, "Where did you go yesterday?" ”
Luo Yao paused with the hand of chopsticks, and then said casually, "I'm in a bad mood, I went out for a walk." ”
As soon as the words fell, Luo Yao felt that the atmosphere around him had become a little condensed.
Sure enough, after a while, Jie Ran slowly spoke, "Luo Luo, since when did you learn to lie to me?" ”
Luo Yao suddenly felt a little weak, buried his head, and said while biting the rice cake, "I didn't lie, I really went out to play." ”
"Then tell me, where did you go?" Jie Ran put down his chopsticks and stared at her and asked.
Luo Yao didn't say a word, half a sound, and whispered, "Just go around and walk around." ”
"The Demon Palace is 30 billion kilometers away from Heavenly Court, and the range of your 'surrounding' is quite wide." Jie Ran's dark eyes were heavy, and his tone was indifferent.
Luo Yao raised his head to look at him, "How do you know that I went to the Demon Palace?" ”
Jie Ran glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, I didn't send someone to spy on you, nor did I follow you." ”
Luo Yao was seen by him, lowered his head a little ashamedly, and said, "I didn't mean that." ”
Jie Ran ignored her, and continued, "I saw the Qilin Order on your body." ”
Luo Yao was stunned, lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw half of the Qilin Order exposed from the pocket of his clothes. She hurriedly stuffed it back, and after stuffing it, she felt that her behavior was a bit stupid, so she simply lowered her head and didn't dare to look up again.
Jie Ran didn't speak again, the two of them ate quietly, and the atmosphere in the hall was depressing.
In the end, Luo Yao couldn't help but speak first, and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”
"Huh?"
Luo Yao raised his eyes to look at him and repeated, "I'm sorry, Brother Jieran, I shouldn't have lied to you. ”
Jie Ran was still eating slowly, and asked her while eating, "Then why are you lying to me?" ”
Luo Yao was speechless for a while.
Why she lied to him, in fact, she didn't fully understand it herself.
Jie Ran looked into her eyes, and said darkly, "You doubt me? ”
Luo Yao hurriedly shook his head, "No, I didn't." ”
"Why is that?"
Luo Yao lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
"If you don't figure it out, forget it, I'll change the question." Jie Ran said, "You have something, why did you go to Hanchen first, instead of coming to me?" Is he more reliable and trustworthy in your heart than I am? ”
Luo Yao still shook his head, and finally couldn't help it, and told him everything he overheard about Yue Jue, "I think Hanchen must know who that traitor is, as long as he finds him out, he can return Brother Tianshu's innocence." ”
Jie Ran was silent for a while, and said, "I understand." But Luo Luo, your brother has made more than that. Even if there is someone else who steals Yuejue, your brother will not be released. ”
Luo Yao knew that what he said was the truth, so he couldn't help but lower his head and said softly, "I know, but even so, I hope to find out the truth and not let my brother bear the unwarranted stigma." ”
Jie Ran got up, walked to her side, slowly squatted down, looked up at her, and said, "Okay, I know." In the future, I will leave this matter to me, and I will help you find out and return your brother's innocence. ”
Luo Yao was a little surprised, "You came to check?" ”
Jie Ran nodded, "What, don't you worry about me?" ”
"No," Luo Yao shook his head and whispered hesitantly, "But don't you and Brother Tianshu look at each other unpleasantly, why are you willing to help him at this time?" ”
"I'm not helping him, I'm helping you." Jie Ran raised his hand, held her arms, and said, "Luo Luo, I don't want you to be sad anymore. In the future, as long as it is your wish, I will help you realize it. ”
Luo Yao looked at his focused and serious expression, and was speechless for a while, only nodded.
Jie Ran continued to coax, "You also have to promise me not to see Hanchen again in the future, is it okay?" ”
Under the pressure of his gaze, Luo Yao nodded subconsciously, and seeing his gaze move to the pocket of her clothes, she understood, "I'll throw this Qilin Order away in a while." ”
Jie Ran was satisfied, let go of her, stood up, sat down again, put some more vegetables on her plate, and said warmly, "Eat quickly, the dishes should be cold in a while." ”
Luo Yao nodded, and continued to bury his head in the battle with the food on the plate.
After eating, Jie Ran went back. He still has a lot of official business to deal with, and he can't stay with Luo Yao for too long.
After he left, Luo Yao took out the Qilin Order in his arms. After watching it for a while, I was still reluctant to throw it away. After a final thought, he locked it in a cabinet in the corner of the palace that was not often opened.
After the death of the Emperor of Heaven, although the Heavenly Court was in charge of the Sanqing, the Sanqing were all old after all, and they all had their own things to be busy with, so they only checked the major matters, and the trivial things in the Heavenly Court were all handed over to Jie Ran.
Jie Ran stared at Luo Yao After eating dinner, he rushed back to the main hall to deal with affairs.
When the moon was in the middle of the sky, Qiu Ye quietly came and reported to Jie Ran, "The North Pole has settled down, and it is already under the control of the Southern Dipper Star Monarch. ”
Jie Ran was very pleased, and said, "Good job, help me tell him, after I succeed to the Emperor of Heaven, the position of the Great Emperor of the Arctic Ziwei will be his." ”
Qiu Ye responded. Jie Ran asked again, "Tianshu, how is the situation?" ”
"The spiritual power has been abolished and sealed at the foot of Cangwu Mountain. He had been making a fuss for a few days, and according to the guards guarding the mountain, it was now quiet. I guess I resigned myself to my fate. Qiu Ye replied.
Jie Ran frowned slightly, and said, "It's not that simple, he is not a person who accepts his fate so easily." You send more people to keep an eye on him day and night. If there is any disturbance, you will report to me immediately. ”
"Yes." Qiu Ye was a little puzzled and asked, "Since you are so worried about him, why don't you just kill him, wouldn't it be a hundred and hundred, and you don't have to worry about anything." ”
Jie Ran shook his head slightly, and said, "Everyone in the Five Realms knows that I am at odds with Tianshu, and they also know that Tianshu has fallen, and I am the biggest beneficiary. Now thousands of eyes up and down the Heavenly Court are staring at me. Originally, he was asked to take the blame for us, but if he died at this time, I am afraid it would be self-defeating, and it would make people suspect us. ”
Qiu Ye nodded when he heard this, and said, "It's better for you to think about it." ”
As he was talking, a guard suddenly came to report, "The Antarctic Immortal Emperor is outside the hall, and I want to meet you with Si Ming Xingjun." ”
After hearing this, Jie Ran's eyebrows were slightly locked, and Qiu Ye was very surprised, and asked, "At this time, what is he doing?" ”
Jie Ran didn't know, he asked the guards to invite the Antarctic Immortal Emperor in, and said to Qiu Ye, "You avoid it first." ”
Qiu Ye understood what he meant, and when people saw him and Jie Ran together at this time, they would inevitably guess that they were forming a party in private and plotting against him. So he went around behind the screen and hid, thinking that he would come out after the Antarctic Immortal Emperor was gone.
After a while, under the leadership of the guards, an old man with a gray beard, holding a peach branch, trembled into the hall.
Jie Ran stepped forward to help him and respectfully called, "Master." ”
Unexpectedly, when his arm was stretched out, the Antarctic Immortal Emperor turned slightly sideways and avoided it.
Jie Ran's hand froze there, and after a while, he quietly withdrew his hand, and bowed respectfully to the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, "Master came from afar, and it was the disciple's fault that he failed to meet him." ”
