If the person in front of her hadn't been her best friend, if it had been someone else, she would have asked her guards to throw her into the lake to feed the fishes.
"Don't talk to me about this!"
Lin Weiyang said angrily, "I would rather become a nun! I would rather be blind! I would rather become a monster! I would never have anything to do with a scumbag like Li Nanke!"
Looking at her good sisters who hated Li Nanke deeply, Bai Ruyue felt helpless.
What she said just now was actually just a casual remark when she was heartbroken. She never really thought about letting Lin Weiyang become Li Nanke's wife.
After all, she is the queen of the same country, so the two of them are destined to have no emotional intersection.
"It's up to you to find Li Nanke or not, but I hope you can leave the palace on New Year's Eve."
Bai Ruyue's eyes were sincere, with a little pleading.
Lin Weiyang shook his head, "Although I don't know what will happen on New Year's Eve, as long as you are still here, I will never leave. Besides, as a queen, do you think the Emperor will let me leave?"
"I'll find a way."
"No matter what you try, it won't work! I won't leave anyway."
Lin Weiyang is very stubborn.
Bai Ruyue looked at the woman with soft eyes and persuaded: "How can I give up my life so easily after finally living in this world? At least I have experienced love and had someone I like. Even if I die, I will not be too happy.
So much regret.
But you haven't experienced this yet. This cold palace has consumed too much of your youth. I don't want you to become like the Empress Dowager, wasting...the best years of your life.
Weiyang, think about it, since you were a child, have you ever had a man you liked? Have you ever had a love you yearned for? "
"I……"
Lin Weiyang moved her red lips but did not answer.
But in her mind, the mysterious man who flirted with her in her dreams appeared again and again.
"Promise me that you will leave the palace on New Year's Eve, okay?"
Bai Ruyue came to her good sisters and hugged them gently.
"talk later."
Lin Weiyang sighed.
…
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another three days have passed.
The capital was as quiet as usual these three days.
Li Nanke would go to Anping Prince's Mansion every day to see the mysterious coffin, but unfortunately he didn't gain anything.
He also went to the palace to find Bai Ruyue and Huo Yingying.
Bai Ruyue's attitude was still very firm. No matter how much the man tried to persuade her, she refused to leave the palace. In the end, Li Nanke gave up his persuasion.
As for Huo Yingying, the fake empress dowager, the underworld did not give her any new tasks.
When she asked Li Nanke if she had found the contact person, Li Nanke deliberately lied and deceived her into not seeing the contact person. Huo Yingying's expression was obviously suspicious, but she said nothing.
It seemed from the look on her face that she was convinced that Li Nanke would help her get the bone whistle.
On this day, Li Nanke was going to go to Anping Prince's Palace to see the coffin, but he was stopped by an acquaintance halfway.
It's Gao Yuyan, the old bustard of Yun Chun House.
"Master Li, can we get together at Yun Chun Tower?" Gao Yuyan's charming face with light makeup showed a faint smile, and her voice was soft and moving.
"It's only noon. It's not appropriate to invite me to play with women."
Li Nanke knew in his heart that Gao Xie was planning to ask him about the affairs of the palace, so he used a teasing tone to pretend to be deaf and stupid.
"Mr. Li is full of energy and is better than other men. There is nothing wrong with him. You can choose any of my girls. If you want a yellow-flowered girl, you can also find one."
Gao Yuyan smiled brightly.
"I like to hear this." Li Nanke smiled faintly, "Then what if I want you."
The smile on Gao Yuyan's face froze.
She didn't know whether Li Nanke was joking or serious, and was embarrassed for a moment.
"Let's go." Li Nanke patted the woman on the shoulder, "Although Mrs. Xu is still charming, she is not my type. Don't worry, Mrs. Gao."
Listening to the man's ridicule, Gao Yuyan looked ugly.
But remembering her brother's instructions, she could only suppress her displeasure and put on a very fake smile on her face.
Arriving at the familiar box in Yun Chun Building, Li Nanke saw Gao Xie, the former second-in-command of the underworld, playing the piano.
The elegant figure and the snow-like white shirt give the man a somewhat otherworldly feel.
Li Nanke did not disturb him, but sat on the chair and listened quietly.
Although he has no knowledge of piano skills, from the perspective of the audience, the tunes played by Gao Xie are very beautiful, like a trickle of water, washing away the impetuousness of people's hearts.
"Do you think it sounds good to Mr. Li?" The music stopped and Gao Xie raised his head and asked.
Li Nanke clapped his hands and said, "It sounds great, but it's a pity that a stunning beauty didn't play it for me."
"That's a pity indeed."
Gao Xie put away the guqin, looked directly at Li Nanke and said, "Prince Anping is more impatient than I thought. I am still thinking about how you will sneak in."
"There is no entrance to the Red Rain World in his home. I have investigated it." Li Nanke picked up an orange on the table and said while peeling it.
"Have you really investigated this?"
"You can investigate on your own." Li Nanke deliberately mocked.
Gao Xie tapped the armrest with his fingers, his eyes dim, "A caravan came to the capital a few days ago, and according to intelligence, there was a coffin inside.
So the underworld went to snatch the coffin, but in the end they came back empty-handed, which made people laugh. I was wondering if the coffin would be taken away by Prince Anping."
Facing Gao Xie's temptation, Li Nanke looked puzzled, "Coffin? What coffin?"
Gao Xie stared at Li Nanke's face for a long time before saying: "If the coffin is not in the Anping Palace, it can only be in the palace, which will make it more difficult for us."
"I don't understand what difficulty a coffin will add." Li Nanke frowned.
Gao Xie slowly stood up from the chair, walked to a landscape painting with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice: "Do you know why I betrayed the underworld?"
"I don't know, but I'm very interested."
Li Nanke acted like a listener.
Gao Xie stroked the scroll gently and said slowly: "I'm not afraid to tell you, even though I have been in the underworld for nearly sixteen years, I have never seen the face of the real master behind the underworld. I don't know whether he is a man or a woman..."
Li Nanke looked surprised.
It's not too magical to be a dignified second-in-command but never meet the real owner.
"The reason why I betrayed the underworld is that I believed that the mysterious old man imprisoned in the underground palace had no control over Hong Yu."
Gao Xie said, "Secondly, I feel that what the leader has done over the years is different from our original concept. He seems to be more focused on controlling Hong Yu than erasing it."
"Wait a moment."
Li Nanke interrupted the other party and said with a puzzled face, "If I remember correctly, the idea of Hell is to release Red Rain so that everyone can take it."
"This is now."
Gao Xie smiled bitterly, "At the very beginning, it was about erasing Hongyu."
