Chapter 143: Mourning the Prince at Night
Lan Ling'er waved her hand and said, "You'll know when the time comes, you let Yiyue prepare well." ”
Kazeran nodded and left.
The night was as cold as water, Lan Ling'er stood in the courtyard of Lingyue Pavilion, with a hint of winter in the air, Lan Ling'er couldn't help but tighten the cloak on her body, but she didn't want to enter the house.
A month is not a long time, and the rumors about Dongfang Yu and the things about him have completely disappeared at this time. As if someone had done it on purpose, Lan Ling'er couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seemed that his wish could not be fulfilled.
The people had forgotten him these days.
After proposing to pay tribute to Dongfang Yu last time and being stopped by Mu Xinghan, Lan Ling'er never thought about this again. It's just that at this time, maybe because too many things during the day are too abnormal, or maybe for other reasons, Lan Ling'er suddenly wants to go to the Prince's Mansion to have a look.
After instructing Yi Xue and Yi Shuang, Lan Ling'er went out.
Crossing the eaves, there was a hint of coldness in the air, but Lan Ling'er did not stop it, and let the cool breeze penetrate into her heart.
It was as dark as she had imagined, except for the silvery moonlight. It's only been a month, and everything here looks dilapidated.
Dongfang Yu has lived most of his life under the control of others, but for the last time, he caught everyone off guard. But it was the brilliance that was exchanged for his life, and Lan Ling'er couldn't judge whether he was right or wrong in doing this, but he admired it.
The Prince's Mansion is very large, empty, and even has a hint of gloom, but for a person like Lan Ling'er who has already died once, there is nothing terrifying.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed on Lan Ling'er's face, and she said coldly: "Who?" ”
From behind a big tree, a figure came out, leaning over, Lan Ling'er couldn't see his face clearly, but he could guess that he must be the butler of the Prince's Mansion. I heard that since Dongfang Yu was born, he has always been by his side.
But I don't want to, after he dies at this time, he is still guarding here.
The person who came knelt down straight, and the old man's voice was a little weird in such a night, "The slave doesn't know that it's Miss Lan, it's a lot of offense, please don't blame Miss Lan." ”
Lan Ling'er stepped forward and helped him up, "No need to be polite, I shouldn't have come here in the first place." ”
saw the old man suddenly raise his head, with a hint of flattered astonishment on his face, and then smiled: "Miss Lan still remembers that the prince is his blessing." ”
Lan Ling'er didn't know what to say for a while, and was about to turn around and leave, but was grabbed by the sleeve of the old man.
Frowning slightly, Lan Ling'er turned her head, looked at the thin clothes on the old man's body, and a trace of unbearability flashed in her eyes, but she just came out in a hurry, and did not bring silver taels, hesitated, and said: "If you don't care, you can find Uncle Wang in the Lan Mansion, and I will ask him to arrange a place for you to live." ”
But I saw that the old man shook his head with a smile, with a hint of relief on his face, "I didn't let Miss Lan help me, there are some things that the prince ordered before his death, and the old man is waiting for you here." ”
Hearing this, Lan Ling'er raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect Dongfang Yu to have such an arrangement before she died, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she also followed the old man's slightly limp steps.
When I came to a dark room, the dim light, at a glance, there was only a bed, a table, and a few stools in the room. Lan Ling'er couldn't imagine that even if Dongfang Yu had passed away, the old man would not end up like this.
After all, he would definitely arrange everything for this old man who had accompanied him for a short life.
As if seeing Lan Ling'er's doubts, the old man smiled with relief and said, "The things that the prince originally prepared for me were all divided by those subordinates, so I don't care about them." It was originally a person who stepped into a coffin with one foot, and it was no fun to think about it anymore. ”
Lan Ling'er didn't say much, and sat on the stool next to her at the old man's suggestion, "Why did you bring me here?" ”
The old man seemed to fall into memory for a while, and said to himself: "Actually, the prince is a kind person, when he was a child, he wanted to be friendly with others countless times, but he was always hurt, and the emperor responded coldly every time, and gradually, he also died. ”
Lan Ling'er knew all this, but she didn't want to disturb the old man's last warm memories.
"He didn't want to hurt the eldest princess, but he knew that the emperor already had murderous intentions towards the eldest princess, although he hated the eldest princess for hurting his mother, but after all, it was this aunt with ulterior motives who accompanied him to grow up, gave him warmth, and taught him to be a man."
Seeing that the old man's eyes seemed to have a layer of mist, Lan Ling'er's heart was also tight. She originally thought that Dongfang Yu was more or less retaliating against the eldest princess, but she didn't want to, but in the end she saved her life. It's better to be alive than dead. I hope that in the end, the eldest princess can understand his painstaking efforts.
Saying that, the old man looked at Lan Ling'er with a hint of relief on his face, and said, "What the prince said is right, Miss Lan is actually a kind-hearted person. ”
Lan Ling'er turned her head to the side, her face was bright and dark in the candlelight, in fact, Dongfang Yu didn't know all about her. Maybe there is a soft-hearted time, but on the premise that others don't hurt her, anyone who hurts her by a foot, she will definitely not let go of the slightest.
At this time, the old man came back to his senses, wiped his wrinkled face, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Before the change, let me wait here for Miss, saying that you will come over one day, I didn't believe it originally, but I didn't want Miss Lan to come over." ”
"Did he have anything to tell you?"
The old man looked left and right, became cautious for a moment, and said softly: "The prince said, some people are not as harmless as they seem, and some people are not as indisputable as they seem, I hope Miss Lan will be careful not to be taken advantage of." ”
Hearing this, Lan Ling'er was slightly stunned, her face did not change in the slightest, and she said lightly: "I know." Then he got up and left.
And looking at the back of her leaving, the old man had a hint of relief on his face.
As soon as she walked to the door, Lan Ling'er felt a hint of coldness, but she suddenly paused and said, "Do you want to go to the Lan Mansion with me?" ”
The old man was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Did Miss Lan believe my words?" ”
The corners of Lan Ling'er's mouth hooked slightly, and said, "I will verify it myself, so I don't need to believe it." ”
Hearing this, the old man was no longer entangled, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, he was the person next to Concubine De at the beginning, and later with Dongfang Yu, he had read countless people, but he had never seen such a calm and confident person as Lan Ling'er.
"I'm not going, this place is my home." As he spoke, he saw him get up and close the door, isolating Lan Ling'er's body from the outside of the house.
Sighing softly, Lan Ling'er stepped away.
Not as hurried as when she came, Lan Ling'er came out directly from the front door of the Prince's Mansion, and there was no strangeness in the indifferent mood on her face. It's just that the hands at his side are trembling a little. The old man's words echoed in her ears, and she herself didn't know this. It's just that it used to be automatically filtered, but now that it is mentioned, it is even more difficult to think about it.
"Sister Blue?"
Hearing this, Lan Ling'er was momentarily stunned, towards the source of the voice, and at some point, Dongfang Yi stood in the dark and looked at herself, with a hint of suspicion on her face. Seeing Lan Ling'er look over, she put away all her emotions, spread a hint of laughter, and glanced at the plaque with the words 'Prince's Mansion'.
"You're here to see the crown prince?"
The corners of Lan Linger's mouth raised a sneer, and said, "Brother Crown Prince? Everyone is dead, what kind of prince is it, not to mention, the emperor has already revoked his title of crown prince, isn't it? ”
Dongfang Yi was slightly stunned, naturally hearing the mockery in Lan Ling'er's tone, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and he said seriously: "Your father's death has nothing to do with me." ”
Lan Ling'er chuckled and said, "If it is related to you, do you think you can still live until now?" ”
Dongfang Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed slightly, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I don't even know you yet?" It's just, now that you know, why are you still hostile to me? ”
"If I hadn't found out earlier, presumably, when you approached me and gained my trust, you would have been the one who killed Daddy." Lan Ling'er said lightly. She hasn't forgotten the memories of her previous life. It's just that from the original targeting of Dongfang Yi, it has now become the entire royal family. Or the man on that dragon chair.
If it weren't for his calculations, there would have been no such thing in the previous life and in this life.
Hearing this, Dongfang Yi was silent for a moment, Lan Ling'er was right, if he approached Lan Ling'er and gained trust, when the time came, the person who killed Lan Yuan would definitely be himself, because his father would not let him refuse again. After all, this matter, people close to it, will do it effortlessly.
Ignoring Dongfang Yi anymore, Lan Ling'er left.
Leaving Dongfang Yi alone in such a night, watching the figure quickly disappear without the slightest hesitation, his face became even more indifferent. Originally, he also planned to come over to have a look, but he didn't want to meet Lan Ling'er at the door.
At this time, Dongfang Yi looked at the plaque that looked old even in the moonlight, and sighed softly.
On the way back to the Blue Mansion, Lan Ling'er did not use light skills, walking on the stone road, her face was pale, and after being dyed with a layer of clear light by the moonlight, she looked more and more indifferent.
She didn't know why Dongfang Yu was doing this, and she couldn't tell if the old man's words were correct or not, but she could faintly detect the person he was referring to. Dongfang Yu should know something, and the reason why he didn't say it directly to his face last time, is there still someone around?
Lan Ling'er had no way of knowing. All of this seems to be manipulated by a person behind his back, Lan Ling'er originally thought that he was the emperor, but if even his own son could say that he would give up like this, it was really unreasonable.
However, if it were not the emperor, who else would have such ability and means? She had no way of knowing.
The moon pulled Lan Ling'er's figure long, and suddenly, Lan Ling'er's figure paused, turned her head and walked back quickly, and came to the old man's room. The dim light was still there, and Lan Ling'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He knocked softly on the door, but saw no response.
Lan Ling'er's face was slightly cold, her plain hand stretched out, and the door of the hidden room was opened. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and the frost on his face became more and more solemn.
