Zhu Lan is dead

The night wind blows, and the candles under the lamp are dimly lit.

The door was suddenly pushed open, looking up and seeing the blue dress, Zhou Keyin smiled, "It's so late, are you still awake?"

"Aren't you asleep?" Du Xi walked in front of him, and put a scroll in his hand directly in front of his eyes, "This is something to be prepared for tomorrow's ritual prayer, Your Highness, let's have a look."

"Master Tian has always been reliable in his work, so there is no need to worry about it alone." He smiled and flipped through the booklet, and the rituals and procedures listed were all clear and clear. However, the emperor was not willing to re-appoint a new candidate, and kept this position vacant, and Tian Ruwan did the rest of the affairs.

"Then His Highness, if you have nothing to do, rest early, and you will get up early tomorrow." Du Xi said, bowing to leave, but Zhou Keyin stopped him, got up and took out something from his sleeve.

"This is……"

"Jade belt buckle." Zhou Keyin stuffed it into his hand with a smile, "This is just a congratulatory gift for you."

"Congratulations?"

Zhou Keyin glanced at him thoughtfully, "Let's just make up our own minds and tell the queen mother about you and Liandi in advance..."

"Your Highness!" Du Xi was taken aback when he heard this, but Zhou Keyin said, "You don't have to worry, it will happen naturally if you are willing."

"I..." I suddenly felt a little grateful in my heart, but I didn't know how to express it for a while.

However, Zhou Keyin seemed to have seen through his thoughts, his brows and eyes were stained with a bit of teasing, and he said with a half-smile: "Is there anything else you want to say to Gu?"

Du Xi held back for a while, rubbing the smooth jade with his fingers, couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, "Your Highness is too stingy..."

Hearing the words, he sighed, reached out and patted his shoulder, "If it happens later, I hope you can treat her well."

After Du Xi left, the whole body fell into silence again, and the smile on his face just now dissipated, and his brows and eyes were vaguely troubled.

He raised his hand to extinguish the candle, took off his clothes and went to bed for a long time. He didn't know what he had dreamed about, but after a while he began to feel tightness in his chest and shortness of breath. The images in his mind kept flashing, dragging him down like an endless abyss.

"Your Highness..."

A low voice suddenly came from his ear, and he was shocked in his heart. He turned over and sat up suddenly, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a vague figure by the window with his brows and eyes.

"Who are you?" He cried out in surprise, but the man seemed to have heard his voice, stopped slightly and turned to look at him. In the dark night, he couldn't see his face clearly, only the familiar outline could be vaguely seen.

Then, a gust of night wind blew, and the pane in front of him was opened by someone, but that person suddenly turned over and jumped out, and passed away in a purple dress under the moonlight.

"..."

He didn't know what he was doing, but he was so confused that he didn't even have the slightest hesitation, so he opened the door and chased him out.

Under the moonlight, the mountain streams are flowing, the wind still sounds in my ears, surrounded by mountains, but I can only see a deep place.

It's just that after several times of searching but failed, I couldn't help feeling a burst of regret in my heart. I thought I had let go, but I didn't expect to be so obsessed with it. The cold wind blows through my single clothes, and my fingertips are cold.

Looking up at the deep and silent night in the sky, breathing undecidedly, thinking that he might be hallucinating, he couldn't help laughing at himself, but when he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps in his ears.

"Wai Xuan..."

He was overjoyed, and just as he was about to turn around, the person behind him suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed him violently, his feet suddenly fell into the air, and he fell down uncontrollably in an instant.

Countless cold water was poured into his mouth and nose in an instant, making him unable to breathe, and his eyes were almost red. He opened his hands and feet and struggled desperately, but found that his body seemed to be tied by something and he couldn't move, as if to drag him in. bottom of the abyss.

why?

Looking at the leaving figure on the shore with some despair, he suddenly remembered the nightmare he had that day.

Sure enough, I thought it was just a dream, but I didn't expect it to come true...

By the time the sky was getting dark, the incense burner had also been burned out.

The tip of his nose was filled with the residual fragrance of the room, he opened his eyes, and the room was still groggy at this time, it was difficult to distinguish day and night.

"Does it still hurt?"

A soft voice sounded next to his ear, Ye Fan stretched out his hand to hold his hand, his palm was hot and humid, and smiled, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

It was only when he got up and tried to sit up that he found a sharp pain in his back. He couldn't hold back for a moment and fell back on the mattress. Yu Changqi Yan quickly grabbed him and wrapped him in his arms.

Ye Fan took a few breaths, only to find that his back was burning, as if he had applied chili oil to the wound, "Why...is it still so painful?"

He pinched his face with his hand, and said with a light smile, "I'm afraid you will have to stay in bed for three days."

Ye Fan looked up at him, his eyes fixed on the soft jaw, "Why? Didn't the needle come out?"

"Can't take it out."

"..."

Seeing his disappointed look, he couldn't help but bend his eyebrows and eyes, and comforted him: "But Mammy has a way, which can melt the needle into the flesh and blood, and it will heal naturally after a long time. The medicine is ready, what should be done The rest is done, and the rest is waiting for it to slowly melt."

"Then... can't you stay?"

"where do you want to go?"

Frowning, Ye Fan said a few times: "I can't always sleep on the bed, can I?"

Yu Changqi smiled and said, "You should stay here honestly for the next three days, and don't go anywhere."

"..." Hearing this, Ye Fan felt bad for a moment, and immediately reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "What about you?"

"..."

Seeing that Yu Changqi didn't speak for a long time, he couldn't help being anxious, "Are you leaving me again?"

He lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

It's just that the more he behaved like this, the more worried Ye Fanji became, and he squeezed his sleeves a little harder, "Didn't you say you would never hide anything from me again? Did something happen?"

"I……"

When he was about to make a sound, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and Nanny had already walked in with the medicine soup.

Seeing the stalemate between the two of them, he didn't think much, just smiled and handed the soup in his hand to Yu Changqi.

After the nanny went out, he brought the medicine bowl to Ye Fanji's mouth, straightened his body for him, "Drink the medicine."

Ye Fan stared at him, but there was no response. After a long period of stalemate, Yu Changqi finally couldn't help sighing, and coaxed: "You drink the medicine, and I will tell you."

"...Really?" Ye Fan was a little suspicious.

"Really." As soon as he said this, Ye Fan took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp without hesitation.

A bitter taste spread from the corner of his mouth, he frowned, and swallowed all the medicinal soup.

"Can we talk now?"

It's just that before the words fell, he felt the familiar dizziness hit his heart, knowing that he had been tricked again, subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold Yu Changqi's fingers tightly, but he was a little powerless, he gritted his teeth and said, "Why did you Lied to me……"

"I didn't want to lie to you." Yu Changqi got up and supported him, and slowly put him upright. He wiped his reddish eyes with his fingers, "I will keep what I promised you, but..."

"Just what?" The finger was pulled away a little bit, bitterness spread in his heart, "You said you would never hide it from me again."

"..."

He lowered his eyes, but finally didn't answer, just leaned down and kissed his forehead, and said with a smile: "Wait for me, I will come back to pick you up in three days."

When he entered the court the next day, before he entered the palace gate, he saw Li Rongju standing guard in the gate hall for a long time, and when he saw him coming, he immediately went forward to meet him.

"Your Majesty, you have come, His Majesty sent someone to look for you for a long time..."

"Does Your Highness have any news?" He slowed down his breathing and tried to calm himself down. From the news he heard yesterday, he vaguely felt that a catastrophe was about to come.

Li Rong raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat, and said anxiously: "There is no news yet, it's just..."

Before he got close to the palace gate, he clearly heard a roar coming from inside, a crowd of palace people knelt on the ground outside the gate, and he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and walked in directly.

A memorial directly walked over to him, and happened to throw it at his feet.

"Tell me, what should I do now?"

A majestic and cold voice sounded above his head, and Yu Changqi knelt down, "I will send someone to find..."

"If it is necessary to find you, the group of people I raised are useless?"

"..."

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he darkened his face and said, "See for yourself what that is!"

He didn't answer any more, reached out to pick up the memorial, and spread the pages, but when he saw the content on it, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"It was just sent by someone from the Ritual Supervisor. It is not known who took the prince away, but there is this unnamed letter..."

A temperatureless voice resounded in the hall, like the bell of the closing curtain on the western mountain reverberating in his ears, shattering the only peace in his heart.

"The jade tablet mentioned in the letter is a symbol of the royal family of the Da Yue Clan. You should understand who made it this time, right?"

"..."

Is it a jade card?How could it be such a coincidence?

His eyes swept over the gaps between the words, but he suddenly remembered the things that were forced into the hands of the attendant in Fuliang Garden last time.

If that thing is really a symbol of the Da Yuezhi royal family...

There was a trace of sneer in his eyes, so is he being bullied for a while?

"Now you should understand what the letter said?" Zhou Lixiao looked at him, his eyes were as cold as ice, like an iceberg laying on his body.

"Send someone to search for the whereabouts of this jade tablet immediately, if you dare to delay..." The corners of his mouth were full of sarcasm, "I only ask you!"
