Zhu Lan is dead

"The matter is over?" Zhou Huaiqi leaned halfway on the couch, looking at the man who just came in outside the door with a lazy expression.

In recent days, the weather has become worse and worse, and even the leg disease that has never been painful in recent days has begun to recur.

Liang Ke glanced at the couch with a faint smile, "Yes, it's over."

Zhou Huaiqi said: "How to say?"

"Nothing? Maybe someone made a wrong idea or the centipede is dead but not stiff?" Liang Ke suddenly laughed a few times, "The anecdotes of these days are really interesting, I'm afraid it's not our turn to take action. They have already fought among themselves. is going to kill itself..."

"How is it possible?" Zhou Huaiqi sneered in disbelief, "They are not so stupid, and no one understands the truth of cold lips and teeth!"

"But can you guarantee that people driven by profit are rational?" Liang Ke said leisurely: "Besides, the foundation has begun to split and rot... Do you remember the Da Yueshi who fought against Da Zhou many years ago?"

"Remember." Zhou Huaiqi thought for a moment and said: "The Da Yueshi who was captured alive in Da Zhou, Your Highness?"

"Yes, Da Yueshi came from the Western Regions, and Lin Jiangzhuo also came from the Western Regions at the beginning..." Liang Ke's tone seemed to change when he said this, obviously implying something.

It is also impossible for Zhou Huaiqi not to understand. Since Liang Ke's words are so clear, the Lin family is so straightforward with Zhou Lixiao now. It must be that they have found a way out for themselves, but obviously they are not so stupid. After all, Zhou Guozhou There are tens of thousands of books in the government, and there are tens of millions of independent people. It is not as easy as you think to pull them down for a while.

What's more, if the Lin family really colluded with the Da Yueshi and became a traitor, it would inevitably be of no benefit to them.

It's just suffering, but it is suffering on the common people of all living beings...

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Huaiqi couldn't help but said, "Then you mean...to cooperate with them?"

Liang Ke looked at him and smiled slowly, "That's not what I meant, Your Highness?"

"then you……"

Liang Ke said: "I am alone and have no scruples and burdens, let alone argue with these worldly names. It is my pleasure to flirt with each other all day long, but who do you think I am for? You are alone."

"..." Zhou Huaiqi lowered her head and did not make another sound. Now that things are up to now, he has no ability to tell which is true and which is not. He thinks that the promise he made with that person when he was young is just followed The years like moonrise and sunset fade away with the wind, and people's hearts change. This is the unchanging truth since ancient times. Nothing lasts forever.

Now that Zhulan is dead, how can the person who leans on the fence still exist?

If one day suffers a loss, the blame can only be blamed on myself for thinking too much and being foolishly serious.

"The wind in the capital is getting tighter these days, and a senior official died a few days ago, so it is still necessary to pay attention." Liang Ke seemed not to see Zhou Huaiqi's expression, and said directly: "I heard that the recent Your Majesty's mood is very unstable, and everyone close to him has never been affected by his anger without exception..."

When he said this, the figure of the person who had been squatting beside Zhou Huaiqi and holding his legs and feet for him from the beginning stopped suddenly, and the movements of his hands slowed down for a moment, but Zhou Huaiqi seemed to have noticed something, and looked at it calmly. glanced at him.

Following Liang Ke's words, he continued, "How could it be? Maybe someone will be spared..."

Liang Ke glanced quietly, "It's not like you don't know that Zhou Lixiao has a notorious reputation for burying prisoners alive on the battlefield. If he gets angry, he won't show mercy to anyone."

"Really?" There seemed to be a little smile in his eyes.

Outside the door, the sound of the wind continued unabated as before, like the icy cold piercing into the bone marrow, pervasive.

The streets are cold and there are few people, and the thick snow that has accumulated for days has covered the hard bluestone pedals into a vast expanse.

Holding his sleeves, he walked aimlessly forward, letting the cold wind whizzing past mixed with snow particles.

Today is different from the past. At this time in previous years, no matter how cold the weather is, the place is always full of people. People who are busy buying new year's goods are busy in the streets and alleys. There is an endless stream of people coming and going.

It's just that people are closing their homes one after another, and the bustling streets in the past have become desolate places that few people care about.

Thinking of the conversation between Zhou Huaiqi and Liang Ke just now, I couldn't help but belatedly panic for a while, thinking about it now, even he doesn't know the reason for his emotions.

It's ridiculous to think about it, now it's been a few days, and he and Yu Changqi haven't seen each other for a few days. Now that such a big event happened, that man, an important court minister, is naturally busy, not to mention that he didn't intend to I take it as one thing, why should I think so much?

Could it be that he thinks that someone treats you well, sacrificed his life to save your life in the middle of the field, and let you go in every possible way and doesn't care about you, so he should be thinking about you?

With a helpless smile, he walked forward without any scruples against the cold wind blowing on his face, his clothes fluttering, and without the fire to snuggle up to, immersed in the ice and snow, his mind should be more or less clear.

It's just that there should always be a place to return to if you believe in the rein, and unknowingly, I went to the small shop that made noodle cakes that I came with that person last time.

Thinking about the cold weather and wandering outside is not a problem, I thought about going to that store to buy a bowl of noodle cakes to eat, at least to warm my stomach, and the mother and daughter are really not easy, so I should take care of them Just business.

It's just that before entering the store, I saw the very familiar ocher red from a distance. The man was sitting upright on the wooden bench, with a bowl of steaming bread in front of him, his eyes were calm and he was chewing slowly. Swallowing, eating seriously.

And last time, the little girl was also lying on the table next to Yu Changqi with a pure face, with a smile on her face like a spring breeze, her small mouth moved a few words from time to time, but Yu Changqi seldom answered, Just looking at the little girl and nodding in approval from time to time.

"How come..." Ye Fan looked at the scene in the store in a daze. According to what Liang Ke just said, Yu Changqi should be very busy these few days, let alone dealing with Zhou Lixiao. , now that there are few people on the street, and it's freezing cold, how can I have the mood to run out to eat noodles.

Could it be that the cook of the palace quit?

There was another gust of cold wind blowing, and Ye Fan felt that his whole body was a little numb, until he came back to his senses, and then hurriedly left this place with a little avoidance.

After a long time, the person who had been eating noodles seriously raised his head in a daze, and his calm eyes fell on the position where Ye Fanji had just left, gradually revealing a wave of waves.

*

He buried his head and walked forward quickly, remembering that he was half-frozen in the cold wind, and there were still people robbing him for food, it was too much, what kind of pasta did he come out to eat for such a prince? .

It's just that there was a flurry of confusion in my heart, and the pulsation in my chest couldn't be restrained. Standing in the cold wind, Ye Fan was a little irritable, thinking that if he continued to jump like this, he might not be alive. He was so excited.

Now I want to find a place to take a rest, but at first glance, it is deserted, and the closed door is almost the same as that day in Lincheng County.

But he didn't want to go back so early, as long as he thought that Liang Ke and Zhou Huaiqi were there, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and it was fine with Zhou Huaiqi, after all, they talked less and stayed together quietly, while Liang Ke They are two people who are always incompatible with him, and they can fight no matter what they say on weekdays.

In short, they just don't like each other.

It's just that the wild thoughts in his heart hadn't had time to digest, at this moment, a hand stretched out from nowhere and grabbed Ye Fanji's wrist, dragging him to the side alley.

"Who!"

Maybe it was because the hands were frozen enough, and the reaction speed slowed down. Before the punch was thrown out, the person opposite had already cut it off. The warm palm was pressed against the cold fist, and the whole body wrapped around him and pulled him down.

Leaning against the stone wall behind him, Ye Fan couldn't react and looked at the person in front of him, his face was pale and pale with cold.

His mind seemed to be over-congested, and Ye Fan felt dizzy for a while. He wanted to avoid this man and find a place where no one was there to be quiet, but this man blocked him tightly, and the people on both sides of the alley He was chilled by the cold wind blowing in the hallway, but it couldn't extinguish the confusion in his heart and the burning sensation on his face that was gradually burning.

The two looked at each other for more than a few breaths, seeing the person in front of him with an expression as cold as ice and snow and not intending to say anything, and finally, he said helplessly: "My lord, why... …here?"

"Didn't you just see it?"

"..."

How can this make people continue, isn't it usually very understanding?Ye Fan smiled awkwardly, "Then what, why did you think of looking for me again, my lord?"

"Passing by, coincidentally." After uttering two words concisely, Yu Changqi began to look at him without saying a word.

pass by?happen?

Ye Fan looked at his clenched fist a few times, and then remembered the action of being dragged into the alley unpreparedly just now, which made him feel once again that people can't just look at the surface, and that Qi Changqi's strength is a fact. What's more... Does this really look like passing by?It is obvious that he is following all the way, and it has been planned for a long time, okay! !

Resisting the mood of rolling his eyes upwards, Ye Fan looked at it with a few smiles and said, "Coincidental, what a coincidence, what a coincidence!"

Yu Changqi frowned, "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing?" Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and showed a kind smile on his face, "I just saw that the prince was eating delicious noodles, so I didn't bear to disturb you, so... why is the prince looking for me now?"

When he said that, he didn't worry at all that Yu Changqi would ask him where he went and what he did these days?After all, this person has never had the hobby of peeking into other people's privacy, and he is a clean and honest gentleman.

Although Ye Fanji has always wondered why Qi Ken has kept him by his side and never exposed the truth, but it is not for him, even if it is a superficial effort to take advantage of him.

Now, he also admits that at most he is alone and lonely, except for this worthless life, there is only one heart left.
