Chapter XI

"You know him?" Su Ying got straight to the point.

Cut off seemed a little surprised by his straightforwardness, so he fell silent.

“…… Ling Yan is my old master. The voice was a little dry, as if he didn't want to talk about it again.

Su Ying was keenly aware that his expression was gloomy.

"I have been following him since I was two hundred years old, assisting him. Two thousand years ago, even Qiluan didn't know his identity, but I did. Then there was a long silence.

"Ling Yan's father was the last emperor of the previous dynasty who was overthrown by Qiluan's father, Emperor Huai'an, Emperor Ming Zheng; And Ling Yan is the only heir of Emperor Ming Zheng and the last prince. ”

The moment he finished speaking, Su Ying almost laughed out loud for some reason.

laughed at this past that hid so many secrets, laughed at this dramatic arrangement, and laughed even more at Ling Yan.

Hopelessly stupid.

Su Ying smiled to herself—what is the most beautiful love...... It turned out that this was Ling Yan's true identity...... It turned out that Ling Yan fell in love with the son of the enemy who killed his father.

Then he was killed by someone he liked.

It's a joke through and through!

I couldn't help clenching my fists, and my nails carved a small crescent moon in the palm of my hand.

“…… When he died that year, the crown prince Ling Yan was only nine years old. But he has been smart and sensible since he was a child, and Emperor Ming Zheng recruited talented people from all over the world for him, and taught him to learn to read and moralize since he was sensible; For him, he rarely went to the court to govern the law, but often accompanied him to read in the study; For his sake, the general gave all the power to the capital of the interior, which was trusted, in order to stay with him for a few more hours...... But it is precisely because of this that His Majesty will be betrayed by the trusted minister, so that he will die and the country will be destroyed. The cut sound revealed an imperceptible flaw.

Su Ying suddenly wanted to tell Jian Li, he didn't want to hear it, this was not his life, and he didn't want to have anything to do with Ling Yan's story anymore.

He couldn't accept, and didn't want to, Ling Yan's memory.

Even though, the only explanation in his mind told him that it was most likely his memory.

“…… Following His Majesty's last instructions, I took the nine-year-old Prince Ling Yan to leave the once prosperous and ruined capital and flee to the remote countryside for refuge. It didn't take long for even in the remote countryside to learn that the previous dynasty had fallen, and Emperor Ming Zheng's most trusted prime minister had ascended to the throne of the spiritual realm, and the voice of Huai'an ......" was bitter and a little tired.

"I obeyed Emperor Ming Zheng's instructions and took good care of the little prince, and at the same time told him that no matter what, one day we will take the country back from the enemy. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been working hard, and he once made me feel that Emperor Ming Zheng's approach was a valuable and meaningful and wise move...... "I can hear that there is a turning point in the words behind the cut, and it is a huge turning point, and this turning point is bound to be related to Qiluan."

"More than ten years after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became an adult, I sent him to the imperial capital Chaoge. Subsequently, everything was as we expected, Qiluan, who was still the prince at the time, accidentally met Ling Yan and was amazed by his stunning beauty. Immediately, Ling Yan entered the palace smoothly with Qiluan. Snipping off slammed into a halt, as if he had finished speaking.

Su Ying couldn't help but tilt his head sideways at the gray figure in the afterglow, unable to see his expression clearly. They can guess what the rest will be, right?

"I always thought that the crown prince knew his purpose very well and that it would be accomplished, and I had little contact with him since he entered the palace for more than sixty years. Although it is strange that he assisted Qiluan to do one after another great things to calm the world and appease the people's hearts, he never interfered or asked...... "Cut off and paused, "Until one day, Ling Yan found me." He came to tell me—" The sound of the cut seemed to have dried up its source, and suddenly blocked in its place.

“…… He came to tell me that he was going to marry Qiluan. He seemed to close his eyes inadvertently, and the whole person looked old and haggard.

“…… Enough is enough......" Su Ying's throat also became dry, and he said with difficulty, "I don't want to listen to it......"

It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare. He felt that something, something that he called fate, seemed to begin to spin with him, even beyond his own will.

It didn't seem to hear Su Ying's words, and he continued to cut off. "He was dressed very formally that day...... the corners of his slightly hooked mouth were sharper than daggers, making Su Ying's heart unbearable.

"He stood in front of me and said to me, 'Cut away, I know how much responsibility I have, and I know how much mistake I made, but I know better that I like him.'" He said to me personally, 'I like Qiluan. ’”

Cutting off the self-deprecating smile, "How can I tolerate so many years of hard work in vain, how can I tolerate Emperor Ming Zheng's efforts to cultivate such an unfilial heir, how can I tolerate him falling in love with the son of his father's enemy?" I scolded him, scolded him, warned him that it was absolutely impossible. Silence fell again.

"Later," said Cutaway, as if to ask himself softly, "and then we got into an argument, and he said that as long as the world is stable and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, whoever sits will be the same." I was so angry that I pointed my finger at him and asked him if he remembered his father and who Emperor Ming Zheng was for. He said that he had to live well so that his father would not be disappointed. I was angry and said I was going to stop him in his father's place, but he said he would never compromise......"

Unconsciously, Su Ying's head ached faintly.

……

“…… I will not allow you to do this, Ling Yan! You are betraying the country, betraying your family, betraying everything you have done for you......"

……

"Ling Yan, do you really think Qiluan likes you? He treats you like a harem girl at all! ”

……

“…… Ling Yan, you've disappointed me so much......"

……

“…… I'm going to discipline you for your father's unfilial son!" ……”

With his hands raised high, a hot pain came from his cheeks, and Ling Yan raised his head to see the hideous face and red eyes......

……

Reality and memories were interspersed, and Su Ying shook her head slightly.

The sound of the cut pulled him back to reality, "and then ...... I hit him...... And then, as he had just done, he said, 'You are not worthy'......"

It turned out that the moment he decided to help himself was because he and Ling Yan coincided.

“…… Do you regret it? Su Ying looked at him calmly, with a kind of arrogance that he didn't know.

“…… Until that day, I had no regrets. Until the news came from the court, saying...... "Cut off and obviously choked up," said...... He's dead. ”

Su Ying suddenly didn't know what to say.

"The past is gone, and the Si people are gone...... It is useless to say more. Su Ying subconsciously wanted to stay away from this topic.

"From the day he died, I began to regret it, he was like my brother, my son, why didn't I treat him better while he was alive, why didn't I let him live an easier life, why didn't I find out until he died......"

The cut looks like a cracked petal, and it will shatter when you reach out and crush it.

“…… Cut it out and follow me in the future. After blurting out, Su Ying simply didn't want this moment to continue.

Cut off laughed tiredly, and said, "Actually, you have already admitted that you are Ling Yan, right......"

A little irritable, Su Ying frowned, and said, "Don't speculate, I don't dare to say if I am Ling Yan, but I don't have Ling Yan's kindness and simplicity at all." ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "If I had known that kindness and simplicity could not live happiness, I should have taught others that the heart is sinister......

Su Ying frowned, he seemed to have found the reason for Ling Yan's death, but there was something faintly beating in his subconscious, and something was telling him in his mind, it was not that simple.
