Cang Ri Qing Lan

The courtyard has returned to tranquility. Except for the broken broken wall that is still being repaired, no one can tell that there has been a fight here.

"Your Majesty..." After finishing the arrangement of Lingzhou one by one, Shen Haozhe glanced at Cang Lan who said nothing, and said hesitantly, "...Your Majesty, how should we deal with Ge Hong?"

"...is he still alive?"

Although he had been prepared for a long time, Shen Haozhe still regretted picking the wrong timing when he met those cold silver eyes, but the words had already been spoken, so he could only bite the bullet and say in a deep voice,

"Your Majesty... the minister ordered him to take it down, there is no king... Your Majesty dare not make rash decisions."

"...Okay." After only one word, Shen Haozhe fell silent again, just when Shen Haozhe thought that Cang Lan would not speak again, he only heard him say calmly, "Let's punish the Nine Clans."

Shen Haozhe didn't move. The new emperor ascended the throne to eradicate dissidents. It is common to use some harsh methods, but he didn't want to see Cang Lan take this path. He hoped that Cang Lan could convince people with virtue and bring the world home.

Seeing that the general hesitated to speak, Cang Lan put down the file in his hand,

"Could it be that Ge Hong's murder of the late emperor is a heavy punishment?"

"...I don't dare to think about it, it's just that there are many people involved. Your Majesty...can you postpone it for a few days and wait..." What to do, Shen Haozhe obviously turned a corner. Although Cang Lan used it as an excuse to kill the king, But he knew well that this incident had something to do with Xing Ye's serious injury.Although Xing Ye was Cang Lan's close minister, Shen Haozhe always felt that it was inappropriate to decide whether the emperor would go on a killing spree with one person's life or death, so he had to delay it first.

"Pull Ge Hong's family before making a decision."

Her eyes fluctuated, Cang Lan stared at Shen Haozhe for a while, and the tone of her speech was beyond doubt,

"The whole family was cut in half, Ge Hong's tongue was twisted, and he was taken to the execution ground to watch the execution, and his clan was informed that if he wanted to survive, Ge Hong asked for the death sentence!"

This is no longer a punishment, but to torture Ge Hong to vent his anger, Shen Haozhe hesitated for a while and said,

"Your Majesty's desire to avenge the late emperor and the criminal guards is understandable, but the princes of all parties are watching..."

It's fine if Shen Haozhe doesn't say anything, but when the words of intercession came out, it added fuel to the fire, Cang Lan's complexion darkened, and said impatiently,

"To serve as an example to others, this is considered light! Xing Ye is not dead yet, what revenge is there! Tell those doctors, if you can't save people, the whole family will go to be buried with them!"

"My lord, please think twice...!"

Standing up from the chair in shock, Shen Haozhe even used the wrong address.Cang Lan paused for a moment, barely suppressing the rampant violence in her heart, raised her eyes to look at the general with a slightly blue face, then turned to Yi Yan who was staring at her closely, let out a silent breath, and finally rushed to Yi Yan reach out

"Come here..." Wrapping around Yiyan's waist from behind, and burying her face in the man's neck, the Shura-like aura on Cang Lan's body gradually eased, "...Did it scare you?"

Regardless of whether Cang Lan saw it or not, Yi Yan immediately shook his head and raised his hands on his knees, as if he wanted to comfort the person on his shoulders, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only mutter,

"...His Royal Highness Lan..."

"...the matter will be discussed at another time."

Cang Lan's faint tone showed a trace of exhaustion, Shen Haozhe was startled for a moment, bowed to answer with difficulty concealing his worry, and was about to leave when a red shadow rushed in like a gust of wind, before he could stand still, he said anxiously:

"I heard you were injured?!"

It was Hao Lianyuya who came, Yiyan felt Cang Lan stiffen behind him, and after a while, he sat up straight.

"Where does it hurt?"

Seeing that Cang Lan didn't answer, Hao Lianyu stepped forward, but when he stretched out his hand, he was blocked. He couldn't help being stunned, and soon found that the other party's expression was wrong, and his red eyes were flickering. Finally, he just looked at Cang Lan quietly. Without speaking, the atmosphere became more dignified.

Shen Haozhe saw this almost confrontational silence, and suddenly realized something, but missed the opportunity to retreat, so he had to watch from the sidelines.After an unknown amount of time, Cang Lan finally spoke,

"Are you satisfied with this result?"

Hao Lianyu's face paled for a moment, and soon regained his composure, saying,

"Aren't you satisfied?"

"I could have broken the back and stood up, taking over a mess like this, should I be glad?"

"If you feel sorry for that guard, just say so! Why use such a high-sounding cover!" Hao Lianyu sneered.

"So, you don't intend to distinguish?" The tone became more and more gloomy, and anyone could see that Cang Lan was on the verge of a seizure.

"You've already put the blame on me, so why should I tell?" Hao Lianyu grinned, "And who should I tell?"

"Did I blame you?! Was that arrow shot by Liannu? We have traveled all the way, and we know how many people there are in Liannu alone? Even if you didn't instigate those arrows, where did the injury on Xing Ye's arm come from?" of?!"

Huo Ran got up, Cang Lan's aggressive anger burned in her eyes.Hao Lianyu didn't speak immediately, his eyes were on Cang Lan's face repeatedly, and after a long time, he laughed loudly and said,

"In that case, why did you kill me to seek justice for him?"

As soon as the words were finished, Cang Lan pulled out the saber from Hao Lianyu's waist, and Shen Haozhe felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty, calm down!" If Hao Lianyu's teeth were really chopped off by Cang Lan's rage, Jun Hui would definitely go to war immediately!

Hearing the words, there was a pause, Cang Lan waved her hand, and the blade of the saber abruptly chopped off a section of the dwarf next to it,

"You better not provoke me!"

Hao Lianyu didn't blink, just looked at Cang Lan, with a sad determination in his red eyes, and said slowly,

"Anyway, you couldn't do what you promised, and you didn't even fulfill your false promises... Now it's too late to regret it, and you broke it with your own hands..."

"shut up!"

The veins in Cang Lan's hand bulged, and the hand holding the knife tightened again and again, and finally the blade slammed into the short stump, and with his movements, a cloud of bright red faintly seeped out of the white robe.

Hao Lianyu's expression changed,

"...Are you really hurt?"

"Whatever the injury, I deserve a lesson for my arrogance. You are right. I should be satisfied with such a small price." Cang Lan sneered, unable to tell whether it was self-deprecation or self-blame.

He knew very well that he was venting his anger on Hao Lianyuya. Although the matter was out of his control because the red-haired man interfered, what really made him uncomfortable was the feeling of helplessness, because it seemed that he had lost something important because of his negligence, but he couldn't help it. The feeling of redemption.He should have seen the clue from Xing Ye's hesitation the night before. It had been a day or two since Xing Ye had such a deep wound. Xing Ye followed him day and night, but he didn't notice it.

Seeing that Cang Lan remained motionless like a sculpture of ice, Hao Lianyu had a strange look on his face, which seemed to be either joy or sadness.Even though Cang Lan didn't realize it, he felt that the person in front of him treated him differently.Even if he provokes each other deliberately, the other party will still show mercy when he is furious. He will not let this transformation be easily destroyed...

Dingding stared at Cang Lan for a moment, then suddenly pulled out several knives, and slashed fiercely across his arm with a backhand.

Cang Lan froze, waited until the blood was splattered everywhere before reacting, opened her mouth, but was unable to utter a word.

"Can you calm down like this?" Hao Lianyu grinned, as if the knife was cut on someone else, "It's not your fault, you can just blame me, anyway, you didn't treat me badly once or twice ..."

"You...!" Cang Lan gritted her teeth, but there were all kinds of feelings in her heart, "I don't think carefully about things myself, I admit it, why do you use such bitter tricks?"

"Didn't I help you vent your anger?" Hao Lianyu didn't care about Cang Lan's stiffness, and gently stopped Cang Lan's neck, and said softly, "Don't hold it in your heart, even if you anger me, I won't fight back, okay?"

"... let go"

With a tense face, he stepped back, failed to break free, but was hugged even tighter, blood stained both of them, Hao Lianyu's voice was a little hoarse,

"Cang Lan, it's fine if you annoy me, you can't abandon me."

He raised his hand to pull Hao Lianyu's teeth away, but felt a shock from the other party, Cang Lan froze for a moment, and finally let it go,

"The smell of blood is all over the body, bandage the wound first."

"..."

Hao Lianyu's teeth did not move, and he increased his strength, the murmur was barely audible,

"Too soft-hearted...will kill you one day..."

"...What exactly do you want?" Cang Lan rubbed the center of her brows, almost being laughed angrily by the other party, "It's you who say I'm cruel, and you who say I'm soft-hearted..."

Noticing that the tense hostility on Cang Lan's body disappeared, Shen Haozhe breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that Hao Lianyuya was really unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal, and looked at Yiyan in a blink of an eye, but saw that the other party did not respond, sighed in his heart, and heard Hao Lianyuya's soft voice road,

"I want you to be soft-hearted only to me, and to be ruthless to everyone else."

"I treat everyone the same."

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell how reluctant this sentence is, but Xing Ye's life and death, he can't be as indifferent as he is to Haoxuan Kanghuang.

So when the doctor said that after three days, Xing Ye could save his life, Cang Lan couldn't tell whether he felt relieved or was more impatient. frown.

He couldn't understand the loyalty of sacrificing his life for others. If it was before, he would probably despise the ignorance of such a person from the bottom of his heart, and quietly make the best use of it.

But for this person who is always silently by her side, Cang Lan finds that she can no longer dispose of it like an item.He is always taking risks, and there are too few people who can keep up with his actions. He has long been used to facing danger alone.However, there is one person, even in all kinds of difficulties, who will steadfastly pursue his footsteps, just to protect him from harm with his own strength in critical moments, so he gradually feels that this person will always follow him.

But he almost forgot that to protect a person who is always challenging his limit, is tantamount to being a car...!

Now that Xing Ye has done it, but he may pay the price with his life, Cang Lan stared at Xing Ye's face for a long time, his low voice seemed to be talking to himself,

"...Do you know that if you want to protect others, you need to live first..."

There was no reply from the people on the bed, Cang Lan felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart, closed her eyes for a moment, and was about to turn around to leave, when suddenly a low murmur came into her ears.Cang Lan's heart skipped a beat, but she found that Xing Ye showed no sign of waking up. She pondered for a while, reached out and touched the other's forehead, warmed it slightly, and brushed away the black hair on her forehead. After a moment of hesitation, she sat down beside the couch. Come down, and say to the handmaidens on the right and left,

"Bring warm water."

"... Your Majesty!" The doctor who was waiting by the side changed his expression and knelt on the ground, tremblingly said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Xing has lost too much blood, so you can't drink water..."

"……I see."

Still motioning for the maid to bring water, Cang Lan raised her eyes and glanced at the doctor who was lying on the ground, only slightly wetted her pale lips.

Flicking his fingers, Xing Ye uttered another vague syllable as if aware of it. This time, Cang Lan heard it clearly. He paused for a moment with a complex expression before handing over the porcelain bowl in his hand to the maid, and ordered: ,

"Ask someone to bring the documents in the study here."

Dying for Cang Lan was already fulfilled, Xing Ye never dared to expect more, that person walked too fast, he had to do his best not to be left behind, not to mention that he had to turn around all at once.However, in his chaotic consciousness, he seemed to hear that person's voice, with indescribable loneliness and depression.For this reason, he couldn't be relieved, but the harder he tried to see that person clearly, the more he couldn't move. The endless darkness and noise seemed to stick to his body. finger.

He felt countless times that that person was by his side, waiting for him to wake up, this time, he stopped for him——

"I don't need you to die for me, I want you to live for me."

His chest felt uncomfortable as if being tightened by an invisible hand, but at the same time, something filled his chest instantly. Xing Ye opened his eyes, and as the light streamed into his eyes, the world gradually became clear, and everything was silent... That person is not Not by my side, it turned out that everything was just a fantasy derived from my inability to let go...

Xing Ye moved his arms, trying to search for the long sword that never left his body, only then remembered that he seemed to have been shot down, that's why he almost died.But if he is still alive, he must have a sword, and he is still that person's sword...!

Just when he condensed all his strength and wanted to get up, someone cried out in surprise,

"... Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Lord Xing is awake! He...he...!"

"...Don't be so loud," following a hoarse voice, Xing Ye almost thought it was his own illusion. Behind the desk opposite the bed, Cang Lan lifted her forehead from the pile of documents and threw them.The brows that were frowned tiredly then opened in surprise, and his face softened with joy, but it was only for a moment, Cang Lan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled up to Xing Ye as usual, saying,

"You've slept so long."

"Your Highness..." Xing Ye still couldn't figure out the situation, he watched Cang Lan approaching in a daze, and still didn't know what to say, Cang Lan suddenly reached out to caress his face,

"The price of letting me serve is very high. It's just this one time, and it won't be an example next time."
