Chapter 178: Lan Xuan's distress

Concubine Rou died, the royal family did not make a big deal, the New Year is approaching, and after the funeral, the Ministry of Rites has to be busy with the preparations for the happy event.

It's just that a strange thing happened not long after she was buried, her body was stolen from Concubine Rou's mausoleum, which made the emperor furious and sick. Everyone was panicked, and the candidate for the crown prince was back in the light at this time.

Dongfang Yi didn't move on the surface, but Dongfang Qi didn't care about himself, he was gentle and polite, and the smile on his delicate face became brighter and brighter. Of course, the highest voice of the crowd was Luo Yan, but the emperor was always indifferent, and just advanced Lan Ling'er and his wedding date to the time when he returned from Nanchuan.

Emperor Nanchuan's birthday was on the 26th day of the first month, and if he wanted to arrive before his birthday, he would have to start from Amaterasu at the beginning of the first month. This year is extraordinary, Nanchuan is undoubtedly challenging the emperor's authority at Emperor Amaterasu's birthday banquet.

Letting go of the second prince and the third prince, and letting Luo Yan go alone, the emperor just wanted to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions.

Although there is no Yiyue in the 'Hundred Flowers Building', it is still as hot as ever, and the performance of hugging the lord once a month has also been canceled. Everyone originally wanted to be able to see the mysterious woman's demeanor, but before Yi Yue left, she spoke, and that woman was her sister Mo Kite.

Let the county lord of the Northern Desert perform in public, even if she acts, everyone may not dare to watch it. However, the 'Hundred Flowers Building' was not affected. Yiyue's dances have also become something that everyone talks about, with endless aftertaste, and there are often a few infatuated people who come to the building regularly to find a place to listen to songs and enjoy songs.

In the room on the fourth and third floors of the 'Hundred Flowers Building', Lan Ling'er stepped on the blanket barefoot, although it was winter, she didn't feel cold at all, but was exceptionally warm.

Yi Xue pushed the door in, and saw Lan Ling'er's ice-blue back standing upright, frowning slightly, and said, "Miss, close the window, this winter, no matter how warm the house is, it can't withstand the invasion of the cold wind." ”

Lan Ling'er looked back and said with a smile: "It's okay." How's it going? ”

Hearing this, Yi Xue took out a letter and handed it to Lan Ling'er, saying, "This is from Yi Yue." ”

Nodding, Lan Ling'er glanced at the contents of the letter, put it back in Yi Xue's hand, and ordered: "Send this letter to the Third Prince's Mansion and hand it over to him personally." ”

"Yes!"

After Yi Xue left, seeing Lan Xuan's figure suddenly appear, Lan Ling'er raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Why did my brother come here today?" So soon to get off the morning court? ”

Lan Xuan chuckled and said, "I heard that Yishuang said that you didn't go back last night, so I came over to take a look." Don't be too tired of yourself, you still have to take care of your body. ”

Holding the secret letter on the side in her hand without hesitation, Lan Ling'er read it carefully and said with a smile: "I know." ”

Hearing this, Lan Xuan couldn't help but smile helplessly, walked over and took down the secret letter in Lan Ling'er's hand, and said, "Do you still know this?" ”

Laughing silently, Lan Ling'er put down the secret letter according to his meaning, looked directly into Lan Xuan's eyes, and said, "Brother came here today because he has something else to say." ”

A trace of unnaturalness flashed on Lan Xuan's face, and he pinned his head to the side and said, "No." ”

Seeing Lan Xuan's back leaving in a hurry, Lan Ling'er paused slightly, but didn't say anything. Until his figure disappeared, Lan Ling'er sighed lightly and looked at the secret letter on the side, but suddenly felt a trace of coldness invade his chest.

It's just that, suddenly, Lan Ling'er looked up, but saw Lan Xuan, who had gone and returned, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I thought you were gone." ”

Lan Xuan sighed helplessly, walked into the room, closed the door, motioned for Lan Ling'er to sit down as well, and said, "I was ready to leave, but I found that there were some things that I didn't tell you, so I came back again." ”

Raising her eyebrows, Lan Ling'er said, "What's so important?" ”

"When are you and Luo Yan going to leave Amaterasu?" Lan Xuan asked softly.

After pondering for a moment, Lan Ling'er smiled and said, "It's probably the tenth day of the first month, and the emperor has to determine this matter, isn't it?" ”

"Be careful. If you can, leave and don't come back. Here's where I can handle it. Lan Xuan admonished.

Lan Ling'er's eyes flashed slightly, and she said inexplicably: "How did my brother say that?" I'm going to come back and marry Luo Yan. ”

Lan Xuan paused for a moment, glanced at Lan Ling'er deeply, but saw her wink at herself, and said, "Isn't it?" ”

Suddenly, Lan Xuan laughed out loud, as if relieved, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "If you can really be so obedient, the emperor will not be so uneasy." ”

"Huh. It turns out that my brother thinks I'm disobedient. Lan Ling'er sighed.

Lan Xuan shook his head helplessly, "You! ”

It's just that suddenly, Lan Ling'er's face became serious, and she said, "That day, Mu Xinghan was sick, and the Lan Mansion was suddenly attacked, did my brother know in advance?" ”

Seeing Lan Ling'er ask so straightforwardly, Lan Xuan's face turned slightly pale, and he said seriously: "I didn't know in advance, but this matter is related to me." I inadvertently told Xinghan about his condition. ”

Seeing that Lan Ling'er was deep in thought for a while, Lan Xuan couldn't help but be slightly nervous and said, "Do you believe it?" ”

"Poof..." Coming back to her senses, Lan Ling'er saw the nervousness on Lan Xuan's warm face, and burst out laughing, "You are my brother, I don't believe who do you believe?" Although I know, you also have your own helplessness in it. Something to do with the sun? ”

Lan Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know?" ”

"Does my brother remember the autumn hunt?"

In an instant, Lan Xuan chuckled and touched Lan Ling'er's hair, full of doting: "It turns out that you are so smart." ”

"Actually, I'm not smart, but you always tell me, consciously or unconsciously, that you won't stand in front of me forever like you used to. All the forces of the Blue Mansion, you are gradually transferring them to me, but now, I ask you to help me take care of the Blue Mansion. ”

After an instant pause, Lan Xuan was puzzled: "You? ”

Lan Ling'er nodded, with full sincerity in her eyes, and said, "There is also the 'Hundred Flowers Building' here." ”

Without asking any more, Lan Xuan nodded and said, "I will." It's just..."

Seeing that Lan Xuan wanted to speak and stopped, Lan Ling'er understood in her heart, and said with a light smile: "Brother wants to ask Mu Xinghan?" He and I naturally have a way of getting along with the two of us, you don't need to worry about it, he knows how to calculate better than anyone else. ”

"Ling'er..." Lan Xuan didn't know what to say.

Lan Ling'er interrupted him first, and said, "Brother is doing this because of your master?" ”

Nodding, Lan Xuan's eyes showed a hint of remembrance, and said: "I have been picked up by my master since I was a child, and he is as kind to me as a mountain, more important than his biological parents." Before he died, he told me that there was once a man who was kind to him, and he promised to repay him from generation to generation. He didn't get the news until the eve of his death, and the man asked him to find Lan Yuan, the prime minister of the Blue Mansion. ”

Hearing this, Lan Ling'er looked pensive and said, "Did he say why he was looking for my father?" ”

Shaking his head, Lan Xuan smiled self-deprecatingly: "No, I originally thought that the person who saved the master was my father, but I only found out when I met later, it was impossible, if it was my father who saved him, then my father should be able to recognize the jade pendant on my body at a glance." ”

Lan Ling'er frowned slightly, and said, "Jade pendant? Have you ever worn any jade pendant? ”

Chuckling and shaking his head, Lan Xuan said, "I only wear that jade pendant when I am fifteenth every month, and it is normal for you not to know." It's just an ornament, and no one will notice it, unless it's the kind that is instantly recognizable. ”

"You also know what happened later, I was originally a small work arranged by the person behind the Lan Mansion, and what's even worse is that I actually recognized you as my sister and made Lan Cheng quite a father." Lan Xuan smiled bitterly.

Lan Ling'er didn't care, the confusion in her eyes became deeper and deeper, and said, "Didn't the person behind it think of this possibility?" "In this world, human affection is the most helpless thing.

Perhaps it was because he had made everything clear, but Lan Xuan's eyes became more and more relaxed, and he said, "He naturally knows, but he knows even more, it is impossible for me to disobey Master's orders." ”

Nodding thoughtfully, Lan Ling'er said softly: "They know that you are gentle on the outside, but in fact, you are cold on the inside, if it weren't for my mistake, it happened to be soft in your heart, and I think about it, my brother would not have any scruples about Lan Mansion." Let you approach the Blue Mansion without any thoughts, so that even if your father is on guard, I suspect, you won't be able to find any clues. Until we all trust you completely, everything works out. ”

The voice grew colder, and I didn't think that the person behind this would actually use such a method.

Nodding, Lan Xuan's face was full of frankness and helplessness, and said, "It is also my responsibility that Xinghan was assassinated that day. ”

When he was in the hunting ground, he suddenly heard about his identity, coupled with his master's instructions before he died, so that Lan Xuan couldn't adapt to the change of identity for a while. But he was also a person who had gone through strong winds and waves, and soon, he began to gradually withdraw from Lan Ling'er's side, leaving her to face it alone.

He couldn't disobey his master's will, but at the same time, he couldn't live up to Lan Ling'er's trust, this was his sister, the only one who gave it to his family besides his master.

It's just that if he had to choose between them, he would rather take his own life. On one side is a sister who can't be betrayed, and on the other side is a doctor's order that can't be forgotten.

Lan Ling'er saw Lan Xuan's silent face, and her heart ached, but she couldn't help but tremble in her heart when she remembered the scene when Mu Xinghan's life was at stake. Sighing lightly, these days, she can see the gloom on Lan Xuan's face clearly, no matter what kind of transaction there is between him and the royal family, she still believes in this gentle son as always.

He doesn't hurt himself.

"You don't have to blame yourself, you are not to blame for this. Mu Xinghan is fine, and I am also blessed by misfortune, but it is difficult for you. She knew that Lan Xuan must have blamed herself for this matter for a long time, but she didn't know how to speak. And what Dongfang Zhi heard, about the threat of discord between their brother and sister, I think this is it.

"You..." Wu looked up at Lan Ling'er, Lan Xuan was speechless, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more warm, and his originally depressed face seemed to be a little brighter.

"That's what you're here for?"

Nodding his head, but shaking his head again, Lan Xuan didn't know when he became so swaying.
