Chapter Twenty-Four: The Burning of the Green Building
Chapter Twenty-Four: The Burning of the Green Building
Feng Ran came to say goodbye to Lan Ling'er early in the morning, there were still many things waiting for him to deal with in the Afterimage Pavilion, and Lan Ling'er had already guessed that the Afterimage Pavilion was now in the development stage, and he, the pavilion master, was naturally going to be busy in the dark.
Lan Ling'er didn't have anything else special to do that day, so she pestered Lan Yuan in advance and asked him to play chess with her. Whether in her previous life or in this life, Lan Ling'er's only constant preference is to play chess. In the past, playing chess was regarded as a pleasant thing, and the technique was gentle. And now it is more about the chessboard as life, and if you should advance, you will advance, and if you need to retreat, you will retreat.
Spring is almost over, the temperature of the sun is gradually rising, some flowers are blooming brilliantly, some flowers are already decaying, and some flowers are just beginning to bloom. I guess no matter what kind of climate it is, there will be flowers.
Lan Ling'er and Lan Yuan's father and daughter sat in pairs, and the black and white chess pieces had their own tricks, either retreating or advancing, each with their own methods and attitudes.
Lan Xuewu and Yang Yu have not appeared in the past few days, and Lan Ling'er has no heart to care about their dynamics. As long as they don't have nothing to do, Lan Ling'er won't touch them for the time being, after all, she still has to take care of Lan Yuan's reputation. Lan Xuan, an unknown distant relative of the Lan Mansion, became the head of the Lan Mansion, and Yang Yu and Lan Xue Wu did not have any reaction, there could only be two situations, either they really learned to behave, or they had some more insidious schemes to discuss.
"Daddy, has my aunt come to look for you recently?" Lan Ling'er fell and said casually.
Lan Yuan also fell behind, and said suspiciously: "Auntie? ”
"It's Aunt Yang!"
"Oh, no, why is Ling'er asking this?" Lan Yuan asked softly.
Lan Ling'er showed a bright smile, "It's nothing, just ask." ”
Glancing at Lan Ling'er deeply, Lan Yuan was helpless, "What have you been busy with lately, you can't see anyone, it's okay to frame others, don't get into yourself when the time comes." ”
Suddenly, Lan Ling'er looked at the father who cared for her to the opposite side in astonishment, "Daddy, why didn't I find out that you were so black-bellied and short-hearted?" ”
saw Lan Yuan patting her on the shoulder, and pretended to sigh: "It's all because our daughter was too well-behaved and sensible before, and my father didn't have a chance to protect her if she wanted to!" ”
Lan Ling'er was speechless for a moment, "How unwell-behaved and sensible am I now?" Didn't Daddy hear the rumors outside? Everyone says that you have a daughter like me, which is really a blessing from God. ”
"Haha..." Suddenly, Lan Yuan laughed, "It is indeed my blessing, let them envy it." ”
In the garden is the warmth and beauty of the father and daughter, in the flowers, in the warm sunshine, as if time has stopped so beautiful. Outside the garden, when Yang Yu and Lan Xuewu saw this scene, both of them had jealousy in their eyes, and at the same time there was sourness.
"Miss, Miss!" Sakura came in a hurry.
Lan Ling'er fell, looked at her sweating profusely slowly, and couldn't help chuckling: "Is someone going to demolish the Lan Mansion?" Why are you running like this? ”
Sakura Hong gasped evenly, bent her knees, "Master." ”
Lan Yuan nodded lightly and didn't make a sound.
"Miss, just now the guards around Princess Jiaoyang came with news that she burned down the entire Chunfeng Building!"
"What?" Lan Ling'er looked at Ying Hong in astonishment, it's not that Dongfang Jiaoyang was scared for so long just by killing a maid, how could he still burn the entire Chunfeng Building now? Could it be that she was wrong? Lan Ling'er was puzzled.
looked at Lan Yuan apologetically, but saw Lan Yuan nodding with a smile, and said, "Go ahead, Daddy just went to the study for some trouble, you should be careful yourself, no matter what happens, just don't let yourself suffer, you will do well at the flower viewing conference!" ”
Lan Ling'er chuckled, "Daddy doesn't want me to marry Dongfang Yi?" ”
"I hope you don't marry any royal kid."
Lan Ling'er understood, "Don't worry, I won't." With that, he ran away.
Looking at the back of Lan Ling'er running away, Lan Yuan's eyes were complicated, he used to hope that Ling'er could be a little more scheming and not too simple, but now he hopes that she can live a simple life and not be too tired. Sighing heavily, Lan Yuan looked at the blue sky and fell into deep thought.
By the time Lan Ling'er arrived, Chunfeng Tower had already been surrounded by firelight, and it was full of people outside, and there were many officers and soldiers present, but they all stood there and refused to move, just looking at such a firelight, devouring the prosperity or decay here.
In the crowd, Lan Ling'er saw the obese Dongfang Jiaoyang in front of her at a glance, and walked over quickly, "What are you doing here?" Crazy? ”
The scorching sun in the east was muddy, looking at the scene in front of her, and then at Lan Ling'er, holding her body, sobbing, Lan Ling'er's heart softened for a moment, and she didn't know what kind of stimulation she was received this time. Obviously she is just a pampered princess with an easy-going personality, but she is a little obese, she doesn't understand, how can the Oriental Sun encounter so many things.
Glancing at the leader of the guards who was standing aside and watching the fire increase coldly, Lan Ling'er scolded: "Why are you still stunned, can't you put out the fire?" "There are also people living in the green building, and Lan Ling'er can't do it anyway if he treats human life like a mustard like a mustard. She can be ruthless to her enemies, but she can't hurt the innocent.
Seeing that the leader glanced helplessly at the scorching sun in the east, Lan Ling'er instantly understood, daring that it was this princess who set the fire herself, and she didn't let anyone save her.
Pulling Dongfang Jiaoyang out of his arms, "Say, what is the reason?" In the palace, you have to be sad to kill someone for so long, and it will leave a shadow, how dare you kill so many people now? ”
Dongfang Jiaoyang opened his red eyes, tears raging on his face, "I just came to find Luo Yan, but they didn't let me in, since that's the case, then why don't I burn here." ”
Lan Ling'er was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but change her opinion of the sun-blazing princess in front of her, who said that she was easy-going, but she was just too lazy to care about the people she didn't care about. The Luo family is the richest man in Amaterasu, and Dongfang Jiaoyang fell in love with his current head Luo Yan at first sight a year ago, and decided not to marry in this life, which became a hot topic at that time.
Although Dongfang Jiaoyang is not beautiful in appearance and figure, she is also a princess of the imperial family, and Luo Yan is the famous Yan son of Amaterasu Province, witty and intelligent, he took over all the Luo family's business at the age of fifteen, and made it a giant of all businesses in Amaterasu Province within five years. The eunuch who died in a hurry was even more sad for the emperor. It's just that people are doing business properly, and the old emperor can't have too many opinions, so he can only be in a hurry.
And there is no one in the royal family who can compare with Luo Yan, so he can only win over.
It just so happened that Dongfang Jiaoyang took a fancy to Luo Yan, and he was indeed the pride of the sky, no worse than any prince of the royal family, and the emperor also had this intention, but this was just the same wish of the royal family, Luo Yan never thought that he would run away in a hurry before the business was done, and he never set foot in the imperial city again within a year.
This time, Lan Ling'er didn't know where Dongfang Jiaoyang heard that Luo Yan was in Chunfeng Building, so she hurriedly chased after her, and people didn't let her in, with her fiery temper, she thought that if there was explosives, it should be blown up directly.
"Aren't you afraid that Luo Yan is inside? If he didn't put out the fire, he would have turned to ashes. Lan Ling'er said regretfully.
Suddenly, Dongfang Jiaoyang stopped crying and looked at Lan Ling'er in a daze, "Iron Commander, hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up and put out the fire!" As he spoke, he kicked the guards on the side and pushed them out.
In an instant, the guards who were still watching the excitement began to rescue one after another. Lan Ling'er couldn't help but shake her head secretly, people are selfish, no matter how kind a person is, only when he takes care of the people he cares about, will he be in chaos.
But can this fire be saved? In other words, Luo Yan is not in it at all.
Presumably, there will be a summons from the emperor's holy decree in a while, and when the time comes, Dongfang Jiaoyang, as a princess, will burn down the Qinglou, and she will definitely be punished a lot. It's just that with such a simple agitation method, Dongfang Jiaoyang has lived in the royal family for so long, do you still not know? Lan Ling'er couldn't help but wonder, looked at Dongfang Jiaoyang, who was hurriedly directing everyone to put out the fire, and suddenly found that she couldn't understand this girl.
The first time they met, she thought she would be the most special flower in the palace compound, and later at the flower viewing meeting, she saw this girl's gentleness, simplicity, kindness, but now she is the arrogance of the royal family, but she has the affection of a daughter's family. It seems that everything is so perfect, a complete person has shortcomings and advantages, but now Lan Ling'er can't believe that the more complete things are.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the fire gradually subsided, although she had never been to the Qinglou, but Lan Ling'er knew that it was prosperous, but suddenly, all the carved beams and paintings, and the tenderness of the snow bones turned into a scorched black. A kind of vicissitudes suddenly rose in Lan Ling'er's heart.
Those women who live here conscientiously, those men who hide in Tibet and seek pleasure here, those who are drunk with luxury, those who are prosperous in the lights... They are all buried under this scorched black, maybe they are not buried, and it won't be long before this place will be rebuilt, right?
"Princess, the Emperor has summoned you!" The emperor's side of the Xi Gonggong appeared. As Lan Ling'er expected, it was so coincidental that it appeared when it first happened.
Dongfeng Jiaoyang frowned tightly and said, "You let my father wait, let me see if Luo Yan is here first?" ”
"Yo! My little ancestor, Prince Luo Yan has already entered the palace to meet the emperor, why is he here? Father-in-law Xi said in surprise.
Lan Ling'er's heart suddenly cooled, but Dongfang Jiaoyang's face lit up, and she couldn't wait to grab her father-in-law's hand and said with a smile: "Then let's go, let's go see my father." ”
Lan Ling'er opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, it would be superfluous to say anything now, fortunately, she didn't let the fire spread to other places, with the emperor's protection of the scorching sun in the east, there must not be too many problems.
