Chapter 151: The Emperor's Birthday Banquet (2)
Dongfang Qi just glanced at Lan Ling'er, then looked away, and said, "With the character of my father, no matter who it is, as long as it is the person he fancies, he will definitely imprison him by his side." He was able to build this palace with undefeated begonia flowers all year round at such great pains, and it was naturally for the sake of that woman. Only, probably, until now, the woman had no idea that this place existed. ”
Lan Ling'er's heart moved, and she didn't know that the emperor was such an affectionate person. It's just that what Dongfang Yu said at the beginning was that the emperor only had Concubine Rou in his heart. And the woman in Dongfang Qi's mouth is obviously not Concubine Rou. Otherwise, all kinds of palace banquets are held in the viewing garden every year, and she will definitely find this place.
Although it is a partial hall, others may not know about it, and this birthday banquet for the emperor every year is almost arranged by Concubine Rou, how could she not know?
Seeing Lan Ling'er immersed in her own thoughts, a trace of complexity flashed in Dongfang Qi's eyes, and she sighed secretly in her heart, I hope you can understand that the royal family is not as simple as you think.
The corners of Lan Ling'er's mouth raised slightly, and she sneered: "I really didn't expect that the emperor also has such an affectionate side." I thought that in his life, the most important thing was Amaterasu's country. ”
Dongfang Qi couldn't deny it, looked at the begonia flower in front of him, stroked it lightly, and said with a smile: "Look at this flower, it was originally a delicate existence in spring, and now it can bloom so brilliantly in this cold winter." Although the world is impermanent, it is also man-made, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment. It's like talking about tonight's palace banquet. ”
Lan Ling'er chuckled, as if it were the bloom of flowers, blooming at night, and she didn't care at all in her cold voice, "What will happen, or what won't happen, what is there to look forward to or be afraid of." What should come will always come, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. ”
A trace of consternation flashed in Dongfang Qi's eyes, and finally turned into a silent smile, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the scene of begonia flowers blooming like a dream." ”
When the words fell, I saw Dongfang Qi walking inside, Lan Ling'er's eyes flashed slightly, but she also followed. Flowers bloom like a dream, what a good word, what kind of scene should there be to match such a word?
Came to a more remote part of the Begonia Palace, at this time the night has been completely opened, and the moonlight pours down, with a slow brilliance. The pink or tender white silk begonias are like beauties under the moon, blooming beautifully. Xifu begonia, the flower color is slightly red, magnificent and dazzling, after the moonlight is dyed with a layer of silver light on it, it is more and more colorful.
Clusters of sticky begonias, like rouge, dotted with a little green leaves, the dew on the flowers, crystal clear, dim light, can also refract wisps of brilliance.
All kinds of begonias are dotted with each other and echo each other. The flowers are blooming, no wonder Dongfang Qi will say that the flowers are blooming like a dream here, but isn't it a dream? Such clusters of red, such a little bit of crystalline.
"It would take a lot of effort to grow such a flower." Lan Ling'er sighed lightly.
The flowering period of begonia flowers is generally in spring, and in such early winter, you can cover one, or even a tree flower, but what a big deal to let so many flowers bloom at the same time!
Dongfang Qi chuckled lightly when he heard this, and his low-alcohol laughter was particularly clear in such a quiet, "The flowers here are the result of thousands of people who have never slept anymore. Even the dew on it is also artificially embellished little by little. Every few hours, workers would stand on the rooftops around them, and a drizzle of rain would coalesce into dew on the flowers. ”
"In winter, the dew should have condensed into ice." Lan Ling'er was puzzled.
Dongfang Qi chuckled and said, "This is why this Begonia Hall is chosen here." If you look closely at the location of this place, there is a natural hot spring to the northeast of the palace, and the land here has been soaked in the water of that hot spring. Then after special treatment, don't look at this begonia flower so delicate, but in fact, it is highly toxic. They are all baptized with drugs. Otherwise, in this cold winter, it would have been unbearable to wither. ”
Listening to Dongfang Qi's words, Lan Ling'er once again set her eyes on this dazzling begonia flower, although it was like a dream, it was a nightmare, and if you were not careful, it would be a place of no return. The emperor's love is a little too terrifying.
"How did you find out?" Although Dongfang Qi is the prince, it is just that this is also the emperor's private matter.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Dongfang Qi put away the smile on his lips, but in the next moment, he smiled a little brighter, and said, "Naturally, I know, because I did it." ”
For some reason, when listening to Dongfang Qi's words, a chill flashed in Lan Ling'er's heart. Flowers that have been soaked in potion for a long time are extremely poisonous, but they are bright and bright, and the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are.
"You... Why are you doing this? Lan Ling'er didn't know what to say for a while.
"Haha!" Dongfang Qi walked into the flowers with a smile, not caring at all, the dew on the flowers wet his brocade robe, and the moist laughter looked a little weird in such a dark night. Lan Ling'er stood in place, not with him. It's just that the doubts in his eyes are getting clearer and clearer. What kind of person is this?
Suddenly, Dongfang Qi's body paused, turned his head sideways, and said: "Look at this place, it is so dreamlike, it is a dream garden built by my father for that woman." It's just that the woman never found out, and you said it was ridiculous. Later, my father himself rarely came here. I'm the only one who, ever since I accepted this task, has been doing my job diligently. ”
As he spoke, Dongfang Qi paused, looked up at the sky, the stars were shining, the moonlight was empty, and he muttered: "Sure enough, you can only see the bright starry sky in the dark." ”
Lan Ling'er didn't make a sound, but frowned slightly.
Putting his eyes on Lan Ling'er again, Dongfang Qi closed his eyes slightly, opened them again, and said: "Lan Ling'er, your father is not dead, the world thinks he is dead, but I don't believe it." ”
Lan Ling'er's body shook slightly, and a thick consternation flashed in her eyes, but she still kept silent, just looking at Dongfang Qi from the begonia flowers.
Seeing Lan Ling'er's actions, Dongfang Qi was not surprised at all, and laughed at himself: "It turns out that you already knew." How could someone like him die so easily? I guess you can spare me for this reason. ”
Lan Ling'er said coldly: "Sure enough, it's you!" ”
If the old emperor wanted to kill Lan Yuan, in order to prevent the news from being known, he would definitely only use his own children. After all, as children of the royal family, it is natural for them to do such a thing.
Although Dongfang Yi and Lan Yuan are together all the time, they are also the people who are the most guarded by Lan Yuan. Dongfang Yu, as the crown prince, cannot leave the capital easily, otherwise, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others. The only one left was Dongfang Qi, and that day, she went to the Three Princes' Mansion.
Although Dongfang Qi concealed it well, she could also smell a faint smell of blood. The reason why it was not uncovered at that time was only because there was no evidence at that time, and the timing was not right. She still faintly held the hope that Lan Yuan might be okay in her heart.
At the gate of the Blue Mansion, she killed Dongfang Yi, mainly because of the grievances in her previous life, coupled with the anger in her heart. For a moment, she wanted to be like this, kill this so-called second prince, and then go to Dongfang Qi. was stopped by Mu Xinghan.
It's not that I don't hate, but I hate it very much, so I become quieter and more patient.
Now Dongfang Qi admitted that she had a little accident, when she was hunting in the forest around Puji Temple, Dongfang Qi had asked her this question tentatively. At that time, the slightest suspicion that was still carried was completely confirmed.
"I don't have any excuses, but, if time were to do it all over again, I would do the same. It's just that your dad isn't dead. Dongfang Qi raised his eyebrows and said lightly.
"Reason!" Dongfang Qi's reason for doing this. He is not a person who chases fame and fortune, and Lan Ling'er can't even see through what he wants most.
"Huh!" Dongfang Qi raised his head with a smile, glanced at Lan Ling'er in the distance, and said, "Not everything needs a reason, I am proficient in medical science, oh no, I should say all kinds of poisons." Can the begonia flowers here bloom so delicately as usual, and can make the lotus flowers of the Three Princes' Mansion bloom undefeated, is there a reason for this? ”
"You..." Lan Ling'er frowned. I always feel that everything is unusual, but I can't say why. When I saw Dongfang Qi for the first time, I put him in the category of Dongfang Yu, just a recuperating existence, and later, I saw his free and easy and uncaring.
Lan Ling'er didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his feelings, but it didn't matter what was behind him anymore. The corners of her mouth hooked up an indifferent smile, and Lan Ling'er said lazily: "You tell me this today, what do you want?" ”
Dongfang Qi chuckled, picked up a begonia, swirled it in his hand, and said: "Look at this flower, it is actually extremely poisonous, but my father never knew about it, otherwise, he would not have come here every day." ”
Lan Ling'er's eyes widened in astonishment, and she said, "Why are you doing this?" ”
But at this time, Dongfang Qi turned his back and said lightly: "You know enough, and the rest doesn't matter." I don't owe Lan Yuan anything. After all, he's just using me to get rid of Amaterasu, as you know. You should blame your father, who left you like this and left in style. ”
Lan Ling'er's face was slightly cold, and she said, "If it weren't for you, how could he leave me in such a hurry." Lan Yuan clearly agreed, and when he came back that time, he confessed everything. Thinking about it, he originally planned to come back, arrange everything, and then leave, but he didn't want to be forced back by Dongfang Qi's methods halfway, so he had to change his original plan.
"If I'm not mistaken, my dad was seriously injured that time." Lan Ling'er said lightly. How could she have no grudge against Lan Yuan, in her past life and this life, all she originally wanted was the peace and security of Lan Mansion, but she didn't want to, and in the end, he left himself. Although it is a last resort, although there is a lot of suffering, full of suffering.
She understands everything, but she can't control her complaints. In Amaterasu, she and Lan Xuan relied on each other step by step, walking cautiously, but her own father disappeared alone at a critical moment, when he was thinking about how to protect him and how to help him take revenge.
Dongfang Qi shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know, it was just my guess that he was still alive, after all, I didn't find the body, did I?" It's just that since you are so sure, it proves that you have enough evidence or grasp. ”
