A month later.

Soon it was the Empress Ceremony, but during these three to five days, Xiao Qian came here a few times, learned his lesson, and stopped talking, just looked at people and left.

Xie Rulan had been worried for a long time, and finally it was almost the day.

The grand ceremony after the establishment is just two days away.

The entire palace was busy, Xie Rulan's pepper room was more guarded, but he could find many more sharp weapons in the palace.

In the past, even the sharp hairpins were looted, but now Xie Rulan sent more gold, silver, bead crowns, hairpins and jade hairpins. Although Xie Rulan didn't like these, he still let Yan Si stick one on his head. Hosta.

With a sharp weapon, it can be used for self-defense.

Xie Rulan looked at herself in the mirror, her heart was extremely calm, beside her was the luxurious wedding dress that had been placed for a long time, Xie Rulan ignored it, and suddenly asked about Yan Si.

"Have you found out the whereabouts of King Rong? Why hasn't there been any news of the army's return to court after so long?"

He has never cared about government affairs, and when asked suddenly, Yan Si was taken aback, remembering that he had told him something about King Rong before.

While combing Xie Rulan's soft black hair that grew to the waist and hips, Yan Si said calmly, "King Rong has disappeared. General Luo has been searching for it at the border for several months. During this period, he refused to return to the court."

"Oh, that's really not good." Xie Rulan said.

But looking at his dark expression, what he wanted to say clearly was that it was really great.

Xiao Qian killed Xiao Jue by committing a crime, and now he is too busy due to the chaos in the court, so naturally he has no time to visit Xie Rulan.

Yan Si paused, and continued: "Half a month ago, King Rong disappeared for more than a month. The army was led by General Luo. His Majesty ordered many times to urge him to return to the court. He arrived outside Chang'an three days ago, but Because he refused to enter the city and was stationed outside the city, not knowing what to do, His Majesty was...very angry."

"Oh, is it?"

Unable to bear it, Xie Rulan laughed out loud, with complex expressions in her eyes, and said: "General Luo may want to rebel, he is His Highness King Rong's most loyal subordinate, but His Highness King Rong really can't come back, if Luo The general has also turned against him, and the [-] troops he leads are just outside the city, and they may attack at any time, then the world will not be peaceful."

"Then what should I do?" Xie Rulan looked at Yan Si behind her in the bronze mirror.

Yan Si smiled and said, "Don't worry, young master, young master will be fine."

Xie Rulan was silent for a while, then slowly nodded and hummed.

Xiao Qian is now suffering from internal and external troubles, which are all caused by himself. At this juncture, he still insists on standing up. Xie Rulan is playing with a jade hairpin with his fingertips, and a murderous look flashes in his eyes.

Two days later, either he would die or Xiao Qian would die.

Before going to bed, Yan Si asked Xie Rulan, "My lord, don't you want to try on the wedding dress?"

Xie Rulan got up, walked straight to the side of the bed with her long black hair loose, and stopped talking.

Yan Si already understood what he meant, he was going to sleep, so Yan Si waited at the side, put down the bed curtain for him, and left a candle with a faint light on the bedside, blowing out the light in the room. The other candles went out of the room.

Before leaving, leave a sentence as usual, "If you have something to do, young master, just tell the servant, and the servant will wait outside the hall."

Xie Rulan didn't speak, she opened her eyes and looked at the bed curtain, then gradually closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

It's just that the wedding date is approaching recently, and Xie Rulan wakes up in the middle of the night with anxiety every night, and this night is no exception, as New Year's Eve is approaching, and the new year is half a month away, Xie Rulan suddenly misses Xiao Xingyu very much.

He hasn't seen Xiao Xingyu for almost three months.

He is the only one who misses Xiao Xingyu day and night. Xie Rulan couldn't fall asleep, so she got up and walked outside the house.

No one was there when he opened the door, Yan Si didn't know where he went, Xie Rulan didn't like people watching him when he was sleeping, so the servants only dared to walk around the outer hall at night, and there was no one in front of his bedroom.

The snow has stopped in the past two days, and most of the snow on the ground has also melted away. The ground is a bit wet, and stepping on it will soon leave a water mark on the ground.

Xie Rulan suddenly wanted to go to Xiao Xingyu's palace before he left the palace. He remembered that he said that there was a grape trellis in his residence. It was so cold, and he didn't know if he would be frozen to death by frost and snow.

The most important thing is that Xie Rulan wants to visit the place where Xiao Xingyu grew up before the big wedding. Xiao Xingyu has not been in his dream for a long time. He is thinking that maybe Xiao Xingyu will occasionally go back to the place where he grew up. see?

It's just that it's late at night, Xie Rulan can only go there tomorrow to have a look.

When I looked up at the sky, the full moon was clearly bright and moving.

In the silent deep palace, there was a rustling sound of conversation coming from nowhere, and Xie Rulan thought it was the two night servants talking, but when he heard the familiar voice, he suddenly froze, because He heard the voice of Yan Si.

Yan Si... is calling Lan Tingsheng's name!

Xie Rulan followed the voice carefully, and it turned out that it was only at the corner behind her, and the two were hiding in the shade of a tree talking.

Xie Rulan heard it clearly. He was shocked that Yan Si knew Lan Tingsheng. For some reason, he didn't walk out openly, but quietly hid himself behind the potted plant.

That Yan Si met Lan Tingsheng at some point, and this Lan Tingsheng was the one Xie Rulan knew, Lan Tingsheng, the thief from the south of the Yangtze River, the young master of Youlan Valley.

After half a year, the young man has matured a lot, even the cunning at the corners of his eyes and brows is still the same.

Under the shade of the dark trees, they couldn't see their expressions clearly, and I heard Yan Si say, "I've been looking for you for half a month, and you're only here now. Doesn't it mean that the imperial palace is nothing more than your own backyard to you, and you can come and go freely?"

Lan Tingsheng's voice was a bit awkward, he smiled and said: "Then I haven't done this job for a long time, I'm not familiar... Well, it's true that the guards in the palace are too strict. It was snowing every day a while ago, if I come It's easy to be discovered, but you, Xiao Xingyu, I didn't expect you to be alive..."

Hearing this, Xie Rulan's eyes widened suddenly, what did Lan Tingsheng call Yan Si?Xiao Xingyu... what's going on, he was almost suffocated.

Yan Si said: "Don't be silly, I just ask you, when you gave me the Jade Order back then, you promised me one thing, do you still accept it now?"

It really is him...

Xie Rulan was stunned suddenly, her mind was buzzing, she was in a state of confusion, she couldn't support herself to keep calm, she leaned against the wall with difficulty, her fingertips were trembling, and she listened to the conversation over there.

Lan Tingsheng smiled and said: "Of course I recognize it. I'm curious to ask, you have died twice, how did you come back to life? You even entered the palace as a eunuch... Hey, you will not really be a eunuch, will you? This face is too easy to put on, so stiff and rigid, why don't you come to me to help you! Really..."

He turned out to be Xiao Xingyu!

Always... by his side...

But Xie Rulan couldn't recognize him at all. He no longer dared to say how much he still missed Xiao Xingyu, and even his face was gradually blurred in his memory.

But since Xiao Xingyu was by his side, why didn't he tell him?

Xie Rulan couldn't suppress it either, her eyes suddenly turned red, her chest thumped, her heart suddenly came back to life, and now she wanted to rush over to ask Xiao Xingyu for clarification, but she didn't dare, because he really didn't recognize him. Xiao Xingyu is here.

'Yan Si' calmly interrupted his words, "I will talk to you about those matters in the future. If you still recognize the Jade Order, I would like to ask you to do one thing for me. You are a famous thief, but can you To steal a person quietly without being discovered by hundreds of officers and soldiers guarding?"

"Steal someone?"

Not to mention Lan Tingsheng, even Xie Rulan was stunned.

He couldn't figure out what Xiao Xingyu wanted to do. This guy had been hiding by his side, watching him lose his mind, watching him pretending to be crazy, watching him being bullied, watching him miss him day and night in the dark, it has been so long, Didn't reveal a word about him!

This bastard is really too much!Is it so fun to watch him embarrass himself?

Xie Rulan was angry, lucky and pleasantly surprised, that's okay, as long as he comes back alive, everything else can be forgiven.

And Xiao Xingyu, who was pretending to be Yansi, the chief manager of Jiaofangdian, didn't know that Xie Rulan was in the corner of the room not far from him, so he nodded seriously: "Yes, I want you to help me steal someone out, he Trapped in a huge cage by the current emperor, if you don't save him, it will be too late."

Lan Tingsheng suddenly looked excited, "This can be said to be very technically difficult! But I can try it, and I will definitely handle it for you. You are going to save Xie Ning, right? He will marry the emperor in two days. It's too late if you don't take him away."

Hearing this, Xie Rulan pursed the corners of her lips, feeling a little nervous, unable to suppress the surge of emotion in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xingyu shook his head and said: "It's not Aning, the person I'm talking about is my father, I hope you can rescue my father, Ji Feng and Aunt Yu should not come forward, this matter It's better for you to do it."

"It's not Xie Ning!" Lan Tingsheng shouted.

not him……

The little joy in Xie Rulan's heart disappeared immediately, and her whole body seemed to be drained of all her strength.

Xiao Xingyu did not choose to save him...

It was as if he had been hiding by his side for a long time and hadn't told him the truth.

Xie Rulan's heart sank suddenly, as if she had returned to the empty feeling that Xiao Xingyu was really dead when she didn't know his identity a few days ago.

So these days, is Xiao Xingyu just watching his jokes?

Xie Rulan didn't want to believe this fact, he would rather Xiao Xingyu really died!

Lan Tingsheng also exclaimed in surprise: "You won't save him? He will marry the emperor in two days! But it's true, your father is your father after all, if you did this, if Xie Ning found out, you Not only did he not tell him his identity, but he did not save him, what is he thinking?"

Xie Rulan pinched her fingertips into her palm, and the slight tingling pain made him calm down a little, so that he would not be too cranky. He was eager to hear Xiao Xingyu's answer, and wanted to know that he must have other plans. will do so.

After all, the Supreme Emperor is his father, Xie Rulan comforted herself like this.

Xiao Xingyu on the other side was silent for a while, and said: "Only by saving the emperor can Xiao Qian be forced to step down. As for the wedding of the emperor and empress, it must be held... I have my plan. After that, will you knew……"

Xie Rulan couldn't listen to the words after that.

The blow to him tonight was really too great. First, he realized that the most trusted chief executive, Yan Si, was Xiao Xingyu. Thinking about it, he was stupid. Xiao Xingyu changed his name to Yan Si. Four of the four princes?

Secondly, Xiao Xingyu didn't choose to save him, and said...he must marry Xiao Qian...

Maybe he really doesn't want me...

Xie Rulan subconsciously clutched her chest, feeling that it was extremely uncomfortable, as if it would be torn apart at any moment, her eyes were moist unconsciously, and her lips burst into wry smiles. He didn't want to hear any more, turned around and ran away as if fleeing.

During this period, neither Xiao Xingyu nor Lan Tingsheng found out.

The next morning.

When Xiao Xingyu stood in front of Xie Rulan's bedchamber pretending to be Yan Si, the chief manager of the Jiaofang Palace, he waited for a long time before Xie Rulan woke up consciously and called him in to help comb his hair. After about half an hour, he couldn't help it , gently pushed open the door of the bedroom, and walked in lightly.

In the inner hall with the doors and windows closed, a faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, elegant and fresh, he touched the fake skin on his face, and then went to the inner room with confidence, opened the bead curtain, saw Xie Rulan at a glance, but was stunned.

Xie Rulan opened the window wide, and leaned against the window to look at the scenery outside the window. She was only wearing a thin jacket, and Xiao Xingyu felt cold even in the thick underwear. How long have you been sitting before.

Going forward to persuade him to come down, Xiao Xingyu's voice was still not pleasant, he persuaded: "My lord, it's cold outside, don't sit on the window, come down and warm yourself."

Knowing that he had come in, Xie Rulan couldn't help the anger and resentment in her heart. Seeing that he was still pretending, Xie Rulan looked back at him, her bloodshot eyes were full of repulsion.

Xie Rulan said coldly, "Get out!"

Xiao Xingyu was stunned for a moment, except for the beginning, Xie Rulan hadn't been so indifferent to him for a long time, what happened to him, why did he suddenly wake up overnight and become like this?

Xiao Xingyu asked suspiciously: "How long have you been sitting here, young master? Did you have a nightmare, and young master is feeling uncomfortable?"

Xie Rulan bit her lip, turned her head to look at the early sun in the sky, her face was cold, even a little pale.

Xiao Xingyu continued: "My lord, you will catch cold like this and get sick easily. You like to watch the sunrise, so you should wear more clothes. I will bring them to you."

As he spoke, he was about to turn back, but he heard Xie Rulan sneer: "If you are sick, you will be sick, and no one cares anyway."

Xiao Xingyu said: "How come..."

"My father is dead, and my mother is also dead. I have no relatives for a long time. Is there anyone in this world who cares about me?"

Xie Rulan smiled, her eyes were a little sarcasm, her eyes were red, but she turned her head and scolded in a cold voice: "What do I want, what does it have to do with you? I told you to go out, didn't you hear clearly?"

It's getting more and more unusual...Xiao Xingyu said: "Master, did you dream about your parents?"

He was still pretending here, clearly unwilling to tell himself the truth at all, Xie Rulan sneered a few times, covering his cheeks with his hands, he hated it in his heart.

Why did Xiao Xingyu treat him like this, why did he have to marry Xiao Qian!

"Get out!"

After struggling all night, Xie Rulan didn't close his eyes again. He even suspected that what Xiao Qian said was true. Xiao Xingyu approached him just to use him, so as to get the pleasure of surpassing and surpassing Xiao Qian. This was revenge for Xiao Qian. Xiao Xingyu was not sincere towards him, that's why he didn't want to save him, and he didn't want to touch him.

He himself had a sad night here, but in reality?

Does anyone care about him?

His parents are dead, his relatives are gone, his only little senior sister will only be affected by him, and his parents can't even die in peace. Who caused these?

In the final analysis, it was all his own making.

If only he hadn't saved Xiao Qian back then, if only he hadn't helped that boy deliver the letter back then.

He may have married a wife and had children now, and his grandchildren are surrounded by his parents. They don't have to die. They should be at the age of enjoying the family happiness. How nice it is to be free and unrestrained.

But those are all hypotheses. In fact, Xie Rulan is almost unable to tell the truth from the fake in this world.

Maybe only Xiao Qian's affection is true, Xiao Qian is his enemy, a stain that he can't get rid of in his life, but he killed Xiao Qian so many times, Xiao Qian never wanted to hurt him at all.

Xu Shi himself felt that something was wrong with him, so he actually thought Xiao Qian was good.

Xie Rulan buried her face in her knees, a large part of her clothes were already soaked, he suddenly felt very confused now, Xiao Xingyu is not dead, so what should he do in the future?

Xiao Xingyu stood in front of him for a long time, seeing that he was really in a terrible mood, and it was impossible for him to hug him with his current status, so he could only sigh silently: "The servant will leave first, young master, don't think too much about it." , don't catch a cold..."

He sighed again as he said that, after hearing that Xie Rulan had a mental breakdown and committed suicide several times in the palace, he entered the palace regardless of the opposition of the crowd, worried about his heart disease, guarded him day and night, and finally got better.

But if he didn't pay attention, the other party returned to the way he was before he came, and it seemed that all his previous efforts had been in vain.

His Aning became crazy again, and his heart disease seemed to be getting worse.

He was also very helpless, so he could only leave first, but just as he turned around, someone pulled the hem of his clothes——

It was Xie Rulan who ran over in a hurry, grabbed him in a panic, and hurriedly said, "Don't go! Don't go..."

Xiao Xingyu's eyes were startled, and when he turned around, he saw a pair of wet and reddish eyes. He had just cried, and his heart ached even more. What happened to his Ah Ning just now?

Xiao Xingyu remembered his ability as a slave, and played the role of Yan Si skillfully.

"What's wrong, son?"

Seeing that he was really going to leave, Xie Rulan panicked. He suddenly made a decision. No matter whether Xiao Xingyu was sincere or not, he really had feelings for Xiao Xingyu that he couldn't extricate himself from.

He didn't want to experience the scene where Xiao Xingyu left him again, even if he really didn't want to save himself and wanted to marry Xiao Qian...

Then marry Xiao Qian, as long as he can fulfill his wish, as long as Xiao Xingyu is willing to stay by his side, as long as Xiao Xingyu is still alive.

Xie Rulan felt extremely sad and very wronged, sniffed, lowered her head and tugged on Xiao Xingyu's sleeve, unwilling to let go, said in a muffled voice: "Boss Yan...I had a nightmare last night...I'm afraid, you Stay with me, okay?"

Just treat it as a dream, and pretend that you don't know anything.

Xiao Xingyu smiled, his face was a little stiff, he nodded and said: "Okay, the servant is with the young master, did the young master not sleep well all night? His face is so haggard."

He still cared about her so meticulously and considerately, Xie Rulan felt a pain in her heart, suppressed her sobs, nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to sleep, Manager Yan...can you accompany me?"

It is rare for him to speak in such a weak manner, Xiao Xingyu nodded and said: "Sir, sleep well, and you will be fine when you wake up."

He brought Xie Rulan back to the bed, and saw that he was lying on the bed very obediently, but his eyes were open and he refused to close, staring at Xiao Xingyu, which was not bad.

He is so strange today.

Xiao Xingyu wondered: "What's wrong, young master?"

It was he who came back, and he was by my side, talking to me... After getting such a recognition, Xie Rulan's breath was stagnant, and she looked away helplessly, then bit her lip, couldn't help but look at Xiao Xingyu again, fingertips Unconsciously, she squeezed the brocade quilt tightly, and then whispered: "The day after tomorrow will be a big wedding, I'm afraid..."

Xiao Xingyu paused with a smile in his eyes, and persuaded: "Young Master, don't be afraid, it's okay, it will pass soon."

"Um……"

Xie Rulan responded, her eyes suddenly became moist again, Xiao Xingyu didn't know what was wrong, and said a little at a loss: "My lord, is there something wrong with you?"

Xie Rulan shook her head quickly, blinked her eyes to put back her tears, looked at the top of the bed, calmed down, but still didn't want to close her eyes, he still wanted to see Xiao Xingyu more, but didn't want to expose his lies , worried that it was the truth that he could not bear, and would rather cooperate with him in this scene.

So he asked in a low voice: "I'm sleepy, but I can't sleep, can you tell me a story, I'm a little scared..."

He mentioned many times today that he was afraid, it was really abnormal, Xiao Xingyu didn't expect to be exposed at all, Xie Rulan was just afraid that he would not want her.

He thought it was Xie Rulan's relapse of heart disease. He has been with Xie Rulan for more than two months now, seeing that he is often dull and crazy, but he is always unaware. Whenever he sees a sharp weapon, he subconsciously puts it away, and occasionally Even though he bumped against the pillar lightly, Xiao Xingyu was frightened by him.

Xiao Xingyu naturally fulfilled Xie Rulan's wish, so he sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "What do you want to hear, my lord?"

Xie Rulan looked at him cautiously, and said obediently, "As you wish."

Anyway, he just wanted Xiao Xingyu to accompany him.
