The moonlight was like a dream, and the streets were filled with a faint night fog, silently empty.
The wheels "squeaked" and rolled over the potholed street, heading in the direction of Yang's house.
Yang Shoukun had just met Queen Dugu, he was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, exhausted and exhausted.
"Master," Fang Tan lowered his head and drove the carriage, and stopped talking: "What did the queen mother say?"
"She didn't say anything," Yang Shoukun smiled bitterly: "Tomorrow, there will be a decree to come down and make Siluo a concubine." β
"Ah, that silk ......"
"Silo is my daughter, and she knows what to do. β
Fang Tan said "oh", silently drove the car and stopped talking.
Yang Shoukun closed his eyes and recuperated, secretly thinking about Siluo's plan to leave and how to deal with the ensuing thunderous anger of Yang Jian, Yang Yong's father and son, and even Queen Dugu.
Resisting the decree and not complying with the indulgence of the girl to run away from marriage is tantamount to blatantly declaring that he is opposed to the imperial court, and he cannot but take precautions.
He didn't know whether it was worth it or not, but some things were destined to not be measured by the gains and losses.
When he thought that every time Silo stared at him, he couldn't help but show eyes full of warmth, admiration and trust, and his heart ached.
Well, I'll bear the blame for all the sins, as long as you're happy and healthy in this life.
Yang Shoukun took a deep breath, his mind completely calmed down, and asked, "Fang Tan, how long will it take to get home?"
"Come on, sir. We're already past ......" Fang Tan was just halfway through his words when he suddenly let out a muffled snort.
"Fang Tan?!" Yang Shoukun was startled, opened the car door and asked outside.
"Poof!" a cold, sharp dagger pierced his chest, and red blood burst out like a peony flower on the official robe on his chest.
The murderer stared at Yang Shoukun coldly, then let go of the dagger and quickly retreated.
Yang Shoukun was stunned, his body instantly stiffened, and he fell straight into the carriage and died.
"Master!" Fang Tan's heart-rending roar came from outside the car, and he stabbed the murderer in the right shoulder, but he didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, and threw himself into the car desperately.
Yang Shoukun fell in a pool of blood, and no matter how much he shouted for first aid, he no longer opened his eyes.
The forbidden army patrolling nearby arrived when they heard the sound, and they were all shocked to see that it was Yang Shoukun who had been assassinated, and while Pegasus reported to the official office, they hurriedly sent Yang Shoukun's body back to Yang's mansion.
As soon as the carriage stopped outside the gate of Yang's mansion, Fang Tan picked up Yang Shoukun like crazy and rushed into the mansion, shouting, "Come on, come on!"
The people in the mansion were all alarmed, Siluo was anxiously waiting for Yang Shoukun's return in the room, and when she heard Fang Tan's shout, her heart sank, and she hurriedly rushed out.
Suddenly, she stopped, the world world collapsed in her mind, her ears rumbling like a raging tide, and she could no longer hear the noise of the surrounding sky.
Looking at the blood marks on Fang Tan's face and Yang Shoukun, who had lost his breath of life in his arms, Siluo suddenly fell into the bottomless dark ice cave.
He's dead!
- No, it's not true, it must be a dream, as long as you wake up quickly, you will find that everything is normal!
Siro bit her lip fiercely, the salty blood and the sharp pain made her lose the slightest trace of illusion.
"Miss!" At this time, Fang Tan had already carried Yang Shoukun's body into the house, and the old housekeeper was calling out to her anxiously.
The house was full of cries, and many servants and maids wept bitterly, and the guards in the house surrounded Fang Tan to ask about the identity of the assassin, and they all wanted to split their eyes and hated that they couldn't cut the murderer of the old man with a thousand knives.
Between the lightning and the fire, I felt an inexplicable throbbing in my heart...... He is dead, what attachment do I still have in this world?
Siluo Huoran woke up to the fact that this person who took in and pampered herself since she was a child had made her deeply attached and inseparable!
That once miserable and helpless heart, I don't know when, actually wrapped around the man who was lying on the couch sleeping at the moment.
- It's him, in the snow and ice, wrapping his weak and helpless self in a warm coat!
ββIt was him, in the quiet study at night, telling his thoughts and concerns about his deceased wife and beloved daughter, and he was drunk and knelt on his shoulder!
- Or he, in the lazy and leisurely afternoons, taught her to draw and listen to her play the piano!
In an instant, tears of pain burst out of his eyes irrepressibly and dripped silently down his cheeks.
For many years, this secret has always been carefully buried deep in the bottom of my heart, and even I was ashamed to face it when I dreamed back at midnight, and I never dared to have the slightest trespass, but at this moment between yin and yang, I came to repent.
Her heart hurts, her cherry lips tremble slightly, and a mouthful of blood spurts out of her throat!
"Siluo!" Prince Yang Yong's face was pale, and he hurried over to hear the news under the protection of a group of guards.
"Bastard, I'll kill you!" Before he could get close to Siro, Fang Tan rushed out of the house like a wounded beast.
"Stop him!" the prince's guards suddenly changed color, and they all drew their swords and stepped forward.
Yang Yong hurriedly took two steps back and shouted, "Don't hurt his life!"
After all, Fang Tan was just a coachman, and he was put to the ground by the guards and tied up with ropes.
Fang Tan struggled desperately, and scolded: "Yang Yong, you can't die well, you killed my master!"
Yang Yong blushed and angrily defended: "I didn't!"
"That's enough, you're all out of the woods!" Silo said coldly, "I'm going to fix my godfather's makeup." β
Yang Yong couldn't help but be shocked when he touched Siluo's gaze, and said anxiously: "Siluo, you have to believe me!"
Silo didn't hear it, went into the house, turned back and closed the door.
Yang Yong hesitated for a while, heard the faint suppressed sobbing sound from the house, and finally gave up his plan to follow Siluo into the house. He was so confused that he naturally guessed the reason why Siro was resentful of him.
Yang Shoukun was killed, and he was the most suspicious. But he didn't have the slightest idea of killing Yang Shoukun, let alone being stupid enough to arrange an assassin to attack and kill him in the street. Don't...... Is it really the queen mother?!
As soon as he thought of this, Yang Yong shuddered all over his body, and hesitated whether to go into the palace immediately to find Queen Dugu to understand.
"Your Highness, why don't you go to the study to rest for a while?" said the old butler Yang Xi hoarsely and trembling in his voice.
Yang Yong didn't say a word, and stood outside the door and watched.
I don't know how long it will be, but the door opens. Yang Yong stepped forward and just wanted to speak, but he saw that the tears rolling in Siluo's eyes had been contained, and his face was pale and his voice was cold: "Your Highness, can you let Fang Tan go, I want to say a few words to him." β
Yang Yong was a little surprised, but he didn't want to disobey Siluo, and hurriedly waved his hand to order the guards to let Fang Tan go.
Fang Tan glared at Yang Yong hatefully, limped into the house and said, "Siluo, what do you want to ask me?"
Siluo closed the door and said softly: "Brother Fang, let's put incense on my godfather first." β
Fang Tan nodded, and couldn't hide his indignation: "The master is gone, it's all caused by Yang Yong, this bastard!"
He lit incense, came to the bed and knelt down to Yang Shoukun's body, kowtowing and crying.
Yang Shoukun on the bed had a neat face, changed into a set of white clothes that he usually wears every day, and his voice and appearance were still good, as if he was asleep.
Suddenly, Siluo's voice came from behind, and said, "Brother Fang, you killed your godfather?"
Fang Tan's body shook violently, Huo Ran turned around and said, "Siluo, you ......"
His words stopped abruptly, and he saw that Siluo was holding a jade pendant in her hand, and her eyes were colder than ice.
"This jade pendant is yours, right? When I was grooming my godfather just now, I found it in the palm of his hand. β
Siluo's tears couldn't help but drip down one by one, and she asked in a suppressed voice, "Why are you still leaving the dagger on your godfather's body?"
"No, it's not what you think!" Fang Tan exclaimed in horror, "I ......"
"You stabbed him to death, and then self-mutilated with a dagger, creating the illusion that the killer had injured him in the shoulder. Siluo interrupted Fang Tan's words and said, "Because you didn't know what to do with the dagger after committing the crime, and you were worried that someone would find out if you carried it on your body, so you inserted it back into the wound on your godfather's chest again. But you forget that when the dagger is pulled, a large amount of blood will splatter from the godfather's wound and spill onto his official robe. It's just that I can't figure it out, why are you doing this?!"
Fang Tan looked at Siluo in astonishment, and then smiled to himself: "I didn't expect you to be smart, I can't fool you." β
"Smack!" Jade pendant rolled to the ground and shattered, Siluo slowly fell to the ground, and said with a cold heart: "Sure enough, it's you!
"For what, because I like you and don't want to lose you!" Fang Tan said with a heart: "I know that Master Lu Dao can't fight Yang Yong, and sooner or later he will hand you over to him." I have to kill him before I can take advantage of the chaos to leave with you!"
"Kill him, and then leave with me......" Silo's face showed a sad and sad look, "Do you know that my godfather has already decided that if I can't refuse the marriage, he will let you escort me out of the capital?"
"What?!" Fang Tan was hit by five thunderbolts, and asked in a daze, "You, what you said is true?"
Siluo's eyes were confused: "Is it true or false, does it still make sense to talk about it now? This jade pendant is actually not what I found from my godfather, but when you were captured by the prince's guards, you broke free from the ground." β
Fang Tan hugged his head in pain and shouted on his back: "Impossible, this is impossible!"
Suddenly, he gradually felt that his hands and feet began to be numb, countless colorful little insects were flying around in front of him, his body became colder and colder, and he involuntarily curled up in a ball on the ground, and his ears were full of his own rapid breathing......
"The incense is poisonousβ" He raised his head with difficulty, glanced at Siluo, and said in despair, "You, you really hate me so much......"
Siluo didn't answer, she lost her strength, barely got up with the help of the table and chair, and walked to the bed with vague steps, and finally lost all her strength and fell softly on Yang Shoukun's body.
She pressed her face against his cold cheeks, her eyelids gradually became heavier and could no longer hold them out, and she was dimly as if she heard the old nun in the clothes whispering in her ear: "Life and death are great things in the world, and they only seek blessings all day long, not from the sea of life and death." If you are lost in your own nature, how can you save it?"
She stretched out her arms and hugged Yang Shoukun tightly, and the tears gradually melted away, wetting his face.
For the first time, and the last time, let me sleep with you like this......
