In the dark room, only a faint sound of breathing could be heard. The woman on the bed opened her eyes and looked at the light outside the window. No emotion could be seen on her pale face.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and Yun Yan's eyes suddenly tightened. She pursed her lips and turned her head to look inside the bed. Is he back again?
With the sound of footsteps, the room gradually became brighter. Bishui put down the torch, looked in the direction of the cabinet, and said, "Miss, why didn't you light the lamp? I just saw the Sixth Prince go back, and he didn't look like that.
good."
Yun Yan was stunned when she heard Bishui's voice. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, revealing a wry smile. What was she expecting? Things are already like this. There seems to be no reason to coexist peacefully. However, Bishui said that he didn't look like it.
Good? It seems so. There is still a smell of wine in the room, and he seems to have drunk a lot of wine. But, whether he is good or not has nothing to do with her.
Bishui blew out the lantern in his hand, placed it on the table, and walked directly towards the bed in the cabinet.
Beside the bed, Bishui helped Yun Yan pull the quilt. Looking at Yun Yan's face that was tilted towards the inside, she thought for a while and said, "Miss, don't blame me for talking too much. What happened to you and the Sixth Prince?"
Yun Yan turned her head and looked at Bishui's delicate face, her eyes were cold. She did not answer Bishui's words, but said lightly: "Why are you coming back so late? Did something happen at Linglong Pavilion, or was it something on the way?
What trouble did you encounter?"
When Yun Yan asked, Bishui suddenly remembered something, and she quickly said: "Miss, do you know who I saw on the street today?" Her eyes were full of solemnity, and Yun Yan was looking at her.
Wei Wei was a little surprised.
"What's wrong? Who is it?" Yun Yan asked in confusion.
Bishui pursed her red lips, leaned close to Yun Yan's ear, and opened her mouth.
Listening to the words from Bishui's mouth, Yunyan's eyes suddenly froze. After a long time, she slowly spoke, her face full of vigilance, "Are you sure it's him? Is he really here?!" The latter sentence was more like
It was for her own ears.
Shaking his head slightly, Bishui sighed and said: "If you say for sure, I can't be sure. Chunqiao and I were shopping on the street. He happened to be in front of us. Unfortunately, we only saw his profile.
, and he was accompanied by experts. We didn’t dare to come forward and take a closer look. Firstly, we were afraid of disturbing the situation, and secondly, we were afraid of exposing our identities. Chunqiao asked me to come back and tell you about this."
Yunyan struggled to sit up. She leaned on the bed rail, her eyes dimmed. Did she just see a profile? Chunqiao was always cautious, and she had the most dealings with that person. If they didn't have certain
I'm sure he won't tell her about this. It's just that she still can't figure out the reason why he came to Dongyue country. He is a deep-minded person and his actions are even more meticulous, which is really hard to see through.
"Tell Qiu Yuan to pay attention to his whereabouts and tell me immediately if there is anything strange." Yun Yan gently held his chin, looked ahead and said in a deep voice.
Bishui nodded and said, "Okay." After thinking about it, she said doubtfully, "Miss, why are you so jealous of him? Although he is powerful, we are not easy to bully."
The lights in the room were imprinted on Yun Yan's face, flickering on and off. She looked ahead, a cold light shot out from her cold eyes, and she said coldly: "If it's on the bright side, of course I'm not afraid of him, but there are always things like that in this world.
He is a kind of person who appears gentle and gentle on the surface, but secretly he is full of intrigues and tricks. It is easy to dodge open guns and hidden arrows, but he just likes to shoot hidden arrows. I am not afraid of him, but I will never let him hurt the people around me." said
At this point, Yunyan's face became darker and darker, and she unconsciously recalled those past events in her mind.
When anyone meets him for the first time, they will only think that he is gentle and knowledgeable. She is no exception. The first time she met him was in the palace of Nanyao Kingdom, when she was still disguised as a man. He
He greeted her humbly and politely. Although she didn't want to pay attention to it, it was just that they entered the palace on important matters at that time, so she didn't give him a look. After getting along with him several times, she didn't find him annoying, but for him
His hospitality is not as disgusting as before.
Until that day, behind the rockery, she was just looking for some herbs, but she heard and saw things she shouldn't have seen.
He told another man that there was a new guest in the palace. If a few people died at this time, they would probably not be suspicious of him. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that he had killed the man, and that man was his brother.
, his biological brother. And the guests he mentioned were naturally referring to them. All he wanted to do was frame the blame.
Sure enough, later that day, a jade pendant was found in the place where they lived, which belonged to the dead prince. Someone immediately came forward to testify that they had seen her and the prince arguing in the garden, and they seemed to be fighting over something.
Although she didn't say much, it inevitably aroused people's imagination, and soon everyone suspected that she was seeking wealth and murder.
But she knew that he was the only one who had entered her room in those days. However, she could not defend herself. After all, they were in someone else's place, and they had requests from others. But what was unexpected was that he finally came out to plead for mercy and testified.
It was still him, so the master had to agree to something for him. He not only achieved his goal by killing people, but also earned a favor by avoiding the crime.
Moreover, when the master diagnosed the pulse of the Emperor of Nanyao, he found that he had already been poisoned into his heart, and he was the one who always kept him by his side. The most important thing is that the poison was not an ordinary poison, it was based on two kinds of poisons.
Only when the tastes are mixed together can they produce toxicity. The emperor of Nanyao Kingdom has been taking one of the medicines, and he carried the other medicine with him.
Since then, she never wanted to have anything to do with this man, but he often appeared in front of her and showed his kindness to her. And she had heard that his strength spread throughout Nanyao Kingdom earlier, and he even had a close relationship with her.
Some people in the world colluded with each other. When he learned that she was a girl, he even said something to her, that is, he was willing to take the world as his betrothal and marry her as his queen. But she knew very well,
What he calls the world is not just the Kingdom of Yao, he wants the whole world. Marry her as his queen? Oh, a person who can even kill his parents and brothers, who dares to believe his promise! I'm afraid he will lose the world as soon as he gets it.
When she died, all he wanted was the help from Linglong Pavilion and the Helian family behind her. Overtly, he treated the virtuous corporal, but secretly, those who followed him prospered, and those who went against him perished. The entire Nanyao court was now
Basically they are all his people, and anyone who disobeys will mostly end up miserable. Such a cold and treacherous person is really terrible.
"Miss, what are you thinking about?" Bishui looked at Yunyan's increasingly gloomy face and asked doubtfully.
Yun Yan came back to her senses and realized that she had lost her composure. She took a deep breath and whispered: "It's okay, I just remembered a lot of past events." As she spoke, she stroked her head slightly, which seemed to be getting more and more painful recently.
Yeah, I'm so confused.
After hearing this, Bishui finally felt relieved. She looked at Yun Yan. She didn't know why, but she always felt that the young lady had a lot of worries, and it seemed to be related to the Sixth Prince. Moreover, the young lady's attitude towards the Sixth Prince seemed to have completely changed.
.At the beginning, she might really hate the Sixth Prince, no, it should be more like a happy enemy, but gradually, the young lady seems to have troubles because of him. Now, she vaguely feels that the young lady is rejecting him.
The Sixth Prince. What exactly did the Sixth Prince do?
"Miss, actually..." Bishui just started to speak.
Yun Yan suddenly glanced at Bishui and said in a deep voice: "I know what you want to say, but Bishui, some things are not as simple as you think. Mu Jingnan and I, well, maybe we have deviated from the beginning.
position, so this was the result later." She suddenly smiled, looked at the clear water, and said, "Now Qiuyuan has Li Minghe, Chunqiao has Chu Zhihan, and you also have Lengxue, they
From now on, it will be your sky, and with them as your sky, I believe you will be happy."
Bishui slowly squatted down. She bit her red lips and held Yunyan's hand tightly. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She sobbed and said in a low voice, "But miss, our greatest hope is that you can be happy. You have lived these years."
It is a life of knife-edge licking blood. Countless times, you almost died. Every day we live in fear. We are afraid that you will never come back once you leave. Although you often say that a lonely life can train a person.
In fact, we all know the nature of human nature. You are the person who is most afraid of loneliness. You rarely show your emotions. Over the years, how many times have you laughed? How many times have you been angry? Because there is no one in this world who can affect you anymore.
A heartbroken person."
Having said this, Bishui wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Yun Yan with misty eyes, and continued, "Finally, the Sixth Prince appeared. This is the first person who really cares about you. All the roses in the yard are...
It is a medicinal material that is good for your body. Although I am stupid, I can see that this was specially arranged by him. Last night, when you were in a coma, he stayed by your bedside. You didn't know that he looked so lost at that time.
Look, I even saw despair in his eyes, as if he thought you would never wake up again. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of you. If he didn't love you so deeply,
You will never have that expression. Miss, don’t deceive yourself anymore. You have been unhappy these past few days, all because of him. If you love him, why can’t you accept him? We can do the revenge for you, don’t you?
We know that we are afraid every day, we are very afraid, we are afraid that we will have no time, and you will not even have time for this last happiness." At this point, she was already crying.
Yun Yan opened her mouth. After a long time, a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She looked at her hands. Since when did her happiness become so important? Mu Jingnan... In fact, she didn't understand her more and more.
She was heartbroken. She didn’t know how to trust someone. It was the first time, it was the first time that she trusted someone like this. But in the end, all he gave her was deception. She was really tired. She couldn’t think about it anymore.
.
After a sleepless night, Yunyan didn't know when he would fall asleep.
When she got up early the next morning, Yunyan was exhausted because she had been lying on the couch, so she went out for a walk. The sun shone on her body, which seemed to dispel the coldness accumulated in the past few days. She only felt that her mood seemed to be also good.
She felt much more relaxed. However, she didn't know how long it took before she heard the news from outside that Yang Ao had been caught. No, to be precise, he was sent to Fuyin Yamen.
It is said that this morning, when the official of Fuyin Yamen opened the door, he suddenly saw a person lying there in front of the door. When he took a closer look, he was surprised to find that this person was the person who had escaped from the prison a few days ago.
Yang Ao, he immediately reported it to Li Gongye, the governor of Liangdu.
Since knowing Mu Jingnan's secret, she has completely understood his plan. So she can trust Yang Ao in his hands. And what he did is not far different from what she thought.
Yang Ao, the witness, has those disaster coins again. I'm afraid Gao Qi will be unable to defend himself this time.
In fact, that night in the prison, the man in black who wanted to kill Yang Ao suddenly appeared. At that time, she was suffering from an illness, and her internal strength could not be used for a while, so she was unable to stop him. The man in black looked at it.
When she was present, he immediately prepared to kill her, but at the critical moment, Yang Ao stepped forward and blocked the sword for her. If not, she would have died long ago.
When she escaped from the prison, she spoke to him in his ear and asked him to pretend to be seriously injured. Although Yang Ao didn't understand what she meant, he still did it.
Because she knew that Ye Mei was nearby, she wanted him to see her running away in embarrassment, so that he would let down his guard. When fighting with the man in black, she deliberately showed her defeat in order to force him to take action.
Then she took the opportunity to pull off his veil, but after hearing what he said in the end, it turned out that she didn't even need to look at his appearance, she already knew who he was, but since when had he been engraved in her heart?
It left such a deep mark.
Yunyan came back to her senses and looked at the flowers in the flowerpots around her. They were in full bloom. Just as Bishui said yesterday, Mu Jingnan had indeed put in all the effort. His thoughts had been flashing through her mind these past few days.
The figure made her feel a little panicked. If she continued like this, she might even forget about revenge.
After a while, a voice suddenly came, "Yan'er!"
Listening to this voice, Yun Yan's body trembled, and her mind was shaken and in a trance, Yan'er! She closed her eyes slightly, turned around, and looked at the man walking over not far away. He was wearing a light yellow brocade robe.
There was a slight look of anxiety between his eyebrows.
Looking at the person coming, Yun Yan blessed himself slightly and said, "My maid pays homage to the Fourth Prince."
The person who came directly helped Yun Yan up, looked at the slightly pale jade face, and whispered: "Didn't I say this before? You don't need to salute in front of me when there is no one around."
Yunyan lowered her head and looked at my hand on her arm. As before, she felt a sense of disgust in her heart. However, this time, she didn't want to endure it any longer. She pulled her hand away and turned towards the back.
She took a few steps back, her eyes filled with indifference and alienation. She nodded and said, "Fourth Prince, you are the prince. How can I not salute you?"
Mu Qingyuan's expression froze, and he looked at his hand hanging in the air. A hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his heart, as if he had thought of something. A hint of sinisterness flashed across his face, and he whispered: "What are Yan'er's words?"
What do you mean? Are you blaming me for not being able to snatch you away from Mu Jingnan that day?"
Steal her away? Haha, listening to these words, Yun Yan felt very ironic in his heart. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what happened that day. Did he snatch her away? For him, if it were normal times, he would
He accepted her as his favorite without hesitation, but if the critical moment came, he would sacrifice her at any time. Just like that day in the imperial study, when Mu Yangtian said he wanted to kill her, he didn't dare to say anything for fear of hurting himself.
It seems that she had a high opinion of him in the past. He is more cowardly than she thought. I really don’t know why those people called him the wise king. Ever since she knew Mu Jingnan’s identity, she had been playing this game with him.
It was time to end, she had no patience to continue pretending.
Just thinking of this, Yun Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. It's Mu Jingnan again. Now she likes to associate Mu Jingnan with everything she thinks of. Has she been poisoned by him?
Seeing that Yun Yan remained silent, Mu Qingyuan's expression could no longer remain calm. He stepped forward, looked at Yun Yan, and said with a solemn expression: "Is it true that you have fallen in love with Mu Jingnan, as the queen mother and others said? Is that really the case?
?" At this point, he grabbed Yun Yan's left arm and said coldly.
Yun Yan only felt the heartbreaking pain in his left arm. Looking at the man in front of him, he was like a madman now. Was he afraid that she would fall in love with Mu Jingnan, or was he afraid that he would lose to Mu Jingnan? From his perspective
In her eyes, she saw the latter.
"Hiss..." Yun Yan took a breath. If this arm goes on like this, I'm afraid it will really become useless. But the person in front of him doesn't care about her body. He just wants to find someone to vent his anger on, and that day in the imperial study room
, how could he, the fourth prince who was supported by everyone, stand Mu Jingnan's condescending attitude.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came, "Stop!" A figure suddenly rushed over, and a hand suddenly fell on Mu Qingyuan's hand. He grabbed his hand and suddenly removed his hand from hers.
It was ripped off the arm.
"Hmph, you're quite diligent in coming here." Mu Qingyuan glanced at the person who suddenly appeared next to him. He frowned, flicked his sleeves, and said coldly.
Mu Jingnan stood aside with his hands behind his back, not looking at Yun Yan. His face looked a little tired, and the bloodshot eyes became more obvious, but his face was much cleaner. He looked at Mu Qingyuan, Junyi
A joking smile appeared on his face, and he said: "I am Yan'er's fiancé, what's wrong with coming here? Fourth brother, what are you doing here?"
After hearing this, Mu Qingyuan snorted coldly, turned his head and looked away, and said coldly: "This is Yun Xiang's Mansion, how come I can't come? What's more, I tell you, no one of my people can
Can’t take it away.”
Smiling slightly, Mu Jingnan chuckled and said, "But it was you, fourth brother, who said you gave up at the beginning. Do you think I will give up on Yun Yan?" At this point, his eyes tightened unconsciously.
"Do you really want to go against me?" After hearing this, Mu Qingyuan's frown deepened and he said coldly.
Mu Jingnan shook his head and said calmly: "Being against me? What did the fourth brother say? If you want to blame, just blame the father. He was the one who granted the marriage. I don't want to see the fourth brother treat me like this next time.
My fiancée, your brother-in-law." As he spoke, he turned around, paused, slowly loosened his clenched hands, and then walked directly towards the distance.
Not far away, Yunhong stood there. He originally wanted to stop Mu Jingnan, but he never expected that Mu Jingnan was walking so fast that he couldn't catch up. And he could see the scene clearly.
, the fourth prince said to Yan'er, thinking of this, he frowned unconsciously. He glanced at Mu Jingnan, who was walking towards this side, and for some reason, looking at his expression, he felt that he was different from
There were some differences in the past, as if he was less dandy, but how could it be possible? How could the Six Romantic Kings change so easily? It must be an illusion.
Seeing Mu Jingnan leave, Mu Qingyuan looked better. He suddenly said to Yun Yan: "I'm sorry, Yan'er, it was me who hurt you. I was blinded by jealousy before and thought you fell in love with me."
Mu Jingnan fell in love, so..."
Yunyan stood there, holding her hands tightly, looking at the departing figure. He seemed to be having a really bad life. Looking at the tired look on his face, he probably hadn't slept for a few days. But
, now that he’s here, why didn’t he say a word? Did he think she would be grateful to him if he helped him out? And what did he mean by what he just said? Thinking of this, she looked at Mu Qingyuan. He just came to tell Mu Qingyuan.
Qingyuan, doesn't she like him? That's why Mu Qingyuan's attitude changes so quickly. What does he want to do?
"Fourth Prince, I heard that Yang Ao has been brought to justice. I think you are also very busy, so there is no need to waste time on my daughter." Yun Yan said calmly, and directly issued an order to expel the guest.
Looking at Yun Yan's cold expression, Mu Qingyuan was stunned. Is she angry? Thinking of what Mu Jingnan said just now, it is true that Mu Jingnan would do anything to go against him, including robbing women. She
The look reminded him of the first time he saw her.
"Okay, have a good rest. I'm leaving first. If you need anything, just tell me." Mu Qingyuan said to Yun Yan, turned around and left.
Looking at the departing figure, Yun Yan had a sarcastic smile on his lips. Aren't these people tired of acting like this every day?
At this time, Yun Hong came over. He glanced at Yun Yan and said in a low voice: "Yan'er, how could you treat the Fourth Prince like that just now? Although the Fourth Prince was indeed wrong just now, but..."
Yun Hong was interrupted by Yun Yan before she finished speaking. She looked ahead and said lightly: "Brother, since you know he is wrong, why do you speak for him? I feel hypocritical for people like him.
.”
"Yan'er, what are you talking about?!" After hearing this, a trace of panic flashed across Yun Hong's face. He looked around, but there was no one there. He glared at Yun Yan and said.
Shaking his head slightly, Yun Yan looked ahead and laughed at himself: "You have always looked down on Mu Jingnan, but it was him who saved me just now. Brother, do you really understand Mu Jingnan? I think you don't even understand Mu Qingyuan.
, it is even more impossible to understand Mu Jingnan." As she said that, she turned around, leaving Yun Hong with his back.
Looking at the figure walking towards the house, Yunhong looked stunned. What happened to Yan'er? She seemed to be smiling just now, as if she was happy about something, but Mu Jingnan? Didn't he understand?
