Chapter 30: The Beginning of the Poison Plan
After seeing off the four people, Yue Luo kept resounding with the last sentence of tracing in his mind.
Can't be kept?
No staying!
It seems that he is hinting that he can't keep her anymore.
What should come will always come, and Yue Luo doesn't think there is anything. He is loyal to the prince and she is loyal to the King of Chen. They are two people with conflicting interests, so naturally they are each other's thorns in the other's side.
She rubbed her temples with some fatigue. Yuzhu pulled her sleeve and signaled her to look up.
Yue Luo's eyelids jumped uncontrollably, and the teacup in her hand shook unconsciously, and no one noticed it. She calmly turned her gaze to the woman with delicate makeup and respect and politeness in front of her. She remembered her, Tong Jia's confidant.
My confidant kept a standard smile, but Yue Luo felt that her snow-white teeth were glowing with a blood-red luster, and she could only hear her say,
"The concubine has been obsessed with the girl since she met that day. She said that she fell in love with the girl at first sight, and she heard her accent that she knew she was from her hometown, which made her feel a little more intimate than others." At this point, her confidant stopped and looked at Yue Luo's face, and she felt that the woman in front of her had a little blank eyes, as if she was trance.
My heart coughed, and brought back the thoughts of the moon falling from afar, "So the Empress hopes that the girl can enjoy her face and go to the East Palace to have a small seat and talk about her family."
My hometown native? Yue Luo couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Tong Jia is the big surname of Zhongrong. The Tong Jia clan enjoys all his honors in Zhongrong. However, at the most dangerous time in Zhongrong, the Tong Jia clan's face was ugly and disgusting.
Cooperating with the enemy and treason, killing the master and killing the king, which one is not a serious crime to destroy the nine clans!
Yue Luo raised her head but smiled sincerely, just rightly grasping the right measure between being flattered and being neither humble nor arrogant.
"The Empress is not afraid to accept the fulfillment of the moon, but it is hard to refuse the Moonfall sincerely." Yue Luo was embarrassed, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and her pitiful appearance made people feel pity.
The confidant's smile became a little stiff, and Tong Jia's hideous face kept replaying in her mind, "It's best for her to come, and if she doesn't come, she will tie her up!"
So he smiled and said, "Girl, the Empress's sincerity is not something that anyone wants."
How could Yue Luo not know this hint? She really wanted to laugh out loud, but the words were right at the end of her mouth, "Then please wait and let me change my clothes."
My confidant breathed a sigh of relief, "That's natural."
Yue Luo walked to the dressing table behind the screen and sat down. She looked at herself in the mirror but felt indescribable discomfort. The beautiful face of the beautiful woman was strange and familiar.
What turned that carefree little princess into the current woman who is scheming in advance and retreat.
A pair of gentle hands pressed on her tight temples, "Since Yue Niang doesn't want to, don't go." Yu Yan's voice sounded behind her, and the force on her hands was neither light nor heavy, allowing her to relax for the time being.
"How can you not go?" Although she understood that Tong Jia had bad intentions, she was not a sheep that could be slaughtered.
"Then, do you want Brother Xin to go to Prince Chen's Mansion?" Before she could finish her words, Yue Luo had already interrupted her coldly. Yu Yan felt strange but still swallowed the questions in her heart. However, Yue Niang has been silent since she came back from the Chinese Valentine's Day, so that she had been collectively caught in the Luoyue Tower in the past few days, as if she had been collectively infected with evil in front of Yue Luo.
Yue Luo let Yuyan dress up for her. Yes, why is it awkward? She herself doesn’t know what she is awkward. She and Xuan Yin are originally an interest alliance, but they just need each other.
Xuan Yin's approach that night was not wrong. He used her to relax the enemy's mind and then lead to a potential ambush. This method was indeed twice the result with half the effort, and she herself was not injured, but why was she feeling awkward?
Even a little angry.
Yue Luo was startled by his thoughts.
After a long time, a smile appeared on her face, like a mask that was difficult to tell the truth. Perhaps her awkward thoughts were simply unreasonable in front of Xuan Yin, but today she didn't have time to continue to feel awkward.
She must go to the East Palace, the dragon and tiger den today.
The cicadas outside the window made Xuan Yin feel irritated, but he just frowned invisibly. He always did this, covering everything, including his preferences, almost perfectly.
The words she said on the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day were played in his mind more than once.
"So today, I'm just a bait, right?"
He remembered the expression she said this, with a little self-deprecating and disdain, and her usual pride, but she was not sad.
The generals under his command of the military affairs kept kneeling at Xuan Yin's feet in a daze. At this time, nearly half a stick of incense had passed since he had finished reporting the last word. He carefully recalled his words and sentences just now, and there was nothing wrong with it, but the prince still seemed to have no intention of getting him up. His knees were a little numb, but he did not dare and would not complain at all.
Xuan Yin is the god in their hearts, and he is worthy of looking up to him, and there is no doubt.
Deng Yue, the attendant standing behind Xuan Yin, had already felt something was wrong with their prince today, and even the air pressure around him had inexplicably dropped a lot, although the air pressure in the Chen Prince's Mansion has always been lower than that of other mansions.
He coughed in time.
Xuan Yin glanced at his half-kneeling subordinate and raised his hand to call him up. Although he had been wandering around just now, his ability to use both minds had already been perfected by him. "You are doing a good job in training troops in Luzhou, but I don't want these soldiers to be empty-handed. There is a bit of a stir in the southern border recently, so let these wolf cubs practice their skills."
The general took the order and retreated respectfully.
The cicadas outside the window seemed to be even louder.
Xuan Yin closed his eyes. Unlike the sparse and narrow eyelashes in the Central Plains, his eyelashes are long and dense, and they are slightly curled up. The long eyelashes that make women sigh do not at all detract from his masculinity. Instead, they look particularly handsome because they soften his overly hard contour.
His slender fingers play with the empty teacup. The teacup made of white porcelain is as gentle as the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, gentle and delicate, and the fingers holding it are strong and powerful. On it are the calluses left by holding a knife and a sword for many years, exuding the strength of a soldier, one soft and one hard, the contrast is so clear but so harmonious.
"Swoosh", "Swoosh", "Swoosh"
Three light sounds, and the outside of the window became surprisingly quiet. The cicada that had just been noisy was gone. Instead, he saw that the teacup in Xuan Yin's hand was gone, replaced by a few white powder. The fragments of the teacup shot down the annoying cicada outside the window. This series of movements was so fast that people saw the end before they knew it.
Deng Yue held his breath and lowered his sense of existence to the lowest point. Since the spy came to report that Luoyue Tower had gone to the East Palace again, his prince has been like this. Although there is no difference in appearance from usual, the sudden drop in air pressure can be felt by anyone.
What did she do in the East Palace? Didn’t she know that the prince already knew that she was his person? What was Tong Jia’s relationship with her? If it was forced, why didn’t she come to him to solve it? A series of problems were entangled in Xuan Yin’s heart, making him anxious, angry and helpless. Although he was still calm on the surface, only he knew what kind of storm was like in his heart.
A black shadow jumped behind him silently, his figure was as light as a ghost. The black shadow leaned into Xuan Yin's ear and whispered a few words, and after that, he floated away as lightly as he came.
The slightly closed eyes immediately opened, and the dark green eyes were more like crystal clear amber under the refraction of the sun, with a cold feeling. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Nothing!"
