Cang Ri Qing Lan

The room is full of broken pieces of porcelain and residues of incense; two round stools with small items lying horizontally in the middle, one of which has a broken leg; on the ground...

At this devastated scene, just where the light outside the window could not reach, a large and thick black sandalwood carved chair was submerged in the shadow in the center of the wing.

The young man leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his long white hair scattered all over his shoulders.The almost transparent face seemed to be made of ice, and the eyes embedded in it moved slightly, and the silver eyelashes that revealed a little bit of light flashed into it in an instant.The slender eyebrows flew up, and with a light lift, there seemed to be a goshawk fluttering its wings in the eyebrows.Holding a book in one hand; leaning on the armrest with one elbow, rubbing his lower lip with his index finger, he seemed to be fascinated by the book, but the speed of turning the pages was so fast that one wondered if he was actually reading it.

"My lord, should I ask someone to clean it?" Half an hour later, Qing Ling, who was sitting by the side, looked at Cang Lan for the sixth time, frowned, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"No rush" needless to say, Cang Lan is naturally the one reading the book.

"My lord, why... from where..." She moved her lower lip and finally did not finish the question.

"Have you figured out what exactly you want to ask?" Cang Lan didn't raise her eyelids, and the two stacks of historical records beside her continued to increase and decrease.

"Why did the lord tell General Shen that the second son Shen was in the palace? Why did you withdraw the searchers? Why didn't you immediately go to the palace to clarify to the emperor..." There were so many doubts in his heart, Qingling simply vomited quickly, still faintly With a sense of blame.

"First, Shen Haozhe has long believed that his brother is with me. It doesn't matter whether I recognize him or not. Second..." Cang Lan put down the book, stood up, and looked at Xing Ye in front of him.

"Xing Ye, what do you say?" The tone was obviously negotiable, but it made people feel irresistible.

"This subordinate doesn't know what the lord wants this subordinate to say..." Did he really know that it was his own doing?But how much did he know? !Shocked, Xing Ye didn't dare to think deeply, and immediately half-knelt on the ground, submitting to a defensive posture that had no flaws.Since Cang Lan said to him half an hour ago, "Stay where I can see", Xing Ye has been frozen there and dare not move.Even though it was autumn, the light from the side window was actually dazzling.He has no problem practicing for a few hours under the dog days, but at this moment his back is already wet with sweat.

"I don't know?" A low laugh came from the chest, permeating the magnetism of the soul, "I don't know if I should give you this chance?"

"My lord, please make it clear...!" Xing Ye trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"I'll give you a chance to test me." Si sighed softly.Cang Lan reached out to raise Xing Ye's beautifully shaped chin, and accidentally caught a flash of panic in the black jade, which made the originally indifferent appearance come alive.

"Oh?" There was still a faint smile on her lips, Cang Lan lazily withdrew her hand, and Leng Sen's oppressive feeling receded like a tide.

"Get up, let's take two tricks." Turning around, he left the wing room and came to the courtyard, "If you win, let me tell you the answer to Qingling's question."

Frozen in place for a moment, Xing Ye slowly stood up straight. Although he was not sure of Cang Lan's real intentions, he knew very well that he had no choice.

Qingling hesitated to speak, but followed out without saying anything.

The leaves in the courtyard had already started to wither and turn yellow, and they were flying in pieces. Cang Lan stood among them, with silver threads flying, which was indescribably strange and eye-catching.

"You do it, I don't need a weapon, if you can touch me, you win."

Cang Lan dusted off his clothes, and if there was any murderous aura following his movements, it spread out wave after wave like ripples on the surface of water.Let Qingling beside him explode cold particles all over his body, and his gaze flickered even more.

Xing Ye's body became more and more tense unconsciously, and finally stepped forward, holding the dagger tightly with both hands and thrusting out from his waist, only half a size away from Cang Lan's chest between his fingers.Before Qing Ling stopped drinking, Cang Lan moved forward sideways, dodged his ultimate move, and took advantage of the momentum to slash Xing Ye's elbow with a knife.

So fast!Xing Ye was startled, and quickly withdrew his hand, but unfortunately he was a step too late, Cang Lan had already turned his palm into a claw, and directly grabbed Xing Ye's left hand.

With a dash forward and a low shoulder, he grabbed Xing Ye's hand and threw it directly at the wall.

Xing Ye hurriedly raised his breath, twisted his body in the air, bounced off the wall, and stabbed back with the sword in his hand.

Cang Lan stood on the spot, sighed, met Xing Ye's stabbing sword, raised his wrist, and just clasped his pulse gate in his hand, which looked like Xing Ye handed it over by himself.Xing Ye was startled, stepped forward quickly, and put the sword into Cang Lan's arms, trying to force him to let go.

Cang Lan's footsteps were slightly wrong, and she turned to Xing Ye's back.There was only a "crack", and the bones made a soft sound.

Cang Lan grabbed Xing Ye's hand and turned it behind him at an impossible angle. Xing Ye's face turned pale, but he didn't snort.

"It seems that you lost." Cang Lan stood next to Xing Ye in this posture, with the other hand around his neck, rubbing his thumb lightly on the side of his neck, bringing his chin to Xing Ye's ear, His lips almost brushed his ears as he spoke.

"What should I do with you?" This whisper between lovers sounds full of death at this moment.To twist the neck, sever the artery, or crush the larynx? "Didn't you hear what I said before? Why don't you try your best?"

"The duty of the subordinate is to protect the prince well. If the prince has an accident, the subordinate will die." He answered without a trace of hesitation, paused, and then said: "I am afraid that the family members of the subordinate will not escape the disaster of destroying the family." The body temperature behind him made Xing Ye feel that the two emotions, peace of mind and fear, were strongly mixed together. He almost intuitively told him that there was only death if he disobeyed, and now was the last chance to tell the truth.

"So, you could have won me?" Finally gave up testing my cards?Seeing Xing Ye's submission, Cang Lan let go of the hand that was holding him, and took a step back.

"Subordinate...can't!" Xing Yeban knelt down and said.Sweat protruded densely from his forehead, and it was unknown whether it was from pain or fear.

Because it is very clear that Cang Lan has no internal strength, before making the move, he thought he could still give it a go.But he never knew that Cang Lan would have specious kung fu, such as the accuracy of his shots, and the ingenious use of strength, which made him realize that it was impossible to get out completely.If you want to hurt him, the only way is to exchange your life!Prince Yi, whom he has hated for a long time and who usually only knows sensuality, actually hides it so deeply!How could Xing Ye have thought that Cang Lan was already a different person, if it wasn't for his body not getting used to it, he would have restrained him for the first time.

"Then, let's answer Qing Ling's question now." He didn't even look at Xing Ye, he smiled at Qing Ling who was standing blankly, passed him, took the unfinished book and went back to the chair to continue.No one can see that he has just decided a person's life and death in a single thought.Human life is really like ants to him.

"My lord withdrew the searchers because... Second Young Master Shen is right in front of me." Xing Ye picked up the sword and stuck it in his waist, and the arms beside him trembled uncontrollably due to bursts of pain.

"In front of you?" Qingling looked around, the people who searched before had searched the courtyard all over the place, "Is he here?"

"It should be said that he is still in the house, right?" Cang Lan changed another book while speaking.Qing Ling suddenly turned his attention to the largest piece of furniture in the room, which is the so-called "darkness under the lamp" - lying on the bed, under the messy drapery, there are indeed traces of the wooden bed board being moved.The devastation was originally to cover up this!

Xing Ye walked over quickly, pulled the board away with one hand, bent slightly, and pulled out a person half-dragging and half-embracing.Phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, although it is completely different from his elder brother except for those lips, who else could it be if it wasn't the second son of the Shen family?Strips of cloth torn from the bed sheet tied his limbs back firmly.His mouth was also cautiously blocked, and he couldn't make any sound.Under the collar that was opened because of the struggle, some bruises were looming.He was already weak, but after all the tossing and tossing, he had already fainted, and with his pale face, it seemed that he could no longer hold on.

"Release him. Get someone to clean him up, and ask the imperial doctor to take a look." If he dies, it will be troublesome.Cang Lan frowned, and ordered Xing Yedao.

So far, Qingling has doubts again:

"Why is the prince sure that the criminal guards did it?"

Hearing this, Xing Ye stepped out of the door for a while, but didn't dare to stop for a moment.

Finally became obedient, Cang Lan took Xing Ye's actions in his eyes calmly, and lazily said: "In my house, you can come and go freely, either you are familiar with the rules in the house, or you are a master of martial arts. Why? I think the former is more likely.”

"In that case, other people may also..."

"If you want to control someone, it's easier for someone with good skills. When I got up this morning, that is, when Second Young Master Shen was gone, didn't I see him?"

"Just based on this..."

"One thing is enough." Cang Lan buried her head in the book again, "The people around me cannot have this kind of thing."

Glancing at Qingling's tightly locked eyebrows, he finally said, "The last thing I confirmed was the incense on the ground, which is different from the one in my room. It's an aphrodisiac. It looks like musk after lighting it up, and I smell it on him too. This taste."

"Why did the criminal guards tie up Mr. Shen?"

"Why?" Cang Lan smiled playfully, "Because I know that General Shen will come to ask for someone soon?" Xing Ye's actions did not pose a threat to him, which is also the reason why he let him go.Then who told him that Shen Haozhe was coming?What is this person's purpose?And who told the emperor that Mr. Shen was in Prince Yi's mansion?A smell of conspiracy came over her face, and Cang Lan became a little interested.

"Since Second Young Master Shen is in the house, how dare the lord take the risk of asking General Shen to search?" It seems that Qing Ling was quite frightened before, so he still didn't forget to mention this matter.

"Didn't he not search? It was because Second Young Master Shen was here that he asked him to search. If not, wouldn't I have to follow the emperor's 'word of mouth' to hand him over?"

"Isn't the lord planning to send him back?" Qingling's tone sounded a bit weird, whether it was worry or something.

"Of course, but not now."

Following Cang Lan's gaze at the man on the ground who was so angry, Qing Ling immediately knew the reason.If Shen Haozhe didn't turn his face over on the spot by handing over this young master who looked like he had been tortured before, I'm afraid he wouldn't be far behind.Obviously things are still very troublesome, but Qingling felt secretly relieved, startled in his heart, and hurriedly said:

"...Since there is nothing to do here, why doesn't the prince enter the palace to face the emperor? At least don't let the emperor just listen to other people's one-sided words..."

"No hurry, he will come to invite me."

Looking at Cang Lan's calm side face, Qingling realized that he had thought a little more than himself. If this kind of thing happened between the general and the prince, the emperor would never pretend not to see him anyway. If he was in a hurry to defend himself, he would instead Looks ashamed.It's just that there are not many people who are as innocent as Cang Lan.

A gust of autumn wind came in through the window, blowing the pages of the book "squeaky".Cang Lan frowned, got up and went to cover the window, the backlighted back seemed to fly away in an instant.Qingling felt a block in his heart, and almost reached out to grab it, but suddenly realized that Prince Yi, Haoxuan Canglan, who used to rely on him everywhere, seemed to break out of a cocoon day and night, as if he didn't need to worry about it anymore... He should feel relieved, but...why...the window closed suddenly, the room darkened, and Qingling's heart sank suddenly.
