Prince is a slave

escaped.

But he was wrong.

No one can really understand anyone, not even oneself can fully understand oneself, let alone other people?

Yi Luojia could never imagine that Yi Xin, whose eyes were swollen from crying over a dead rabbit, could brutally kill an innocent person and take his heart away, all just for a ridiculous folk remedy.

This recipe was discovered when sorting out Yi Xin's belongings——

Chuanbei powder, sealwort, pangolin, wild ginseng, plantain, and a living heart.

It can cure chronic diseases and prolong life.

It turned out that Yi Xin murdered for his heart, in order to gather enough life-saving medicine for Yin Tong.Maybe life and life are equal, but the balance in my heart will never be balanced, because the heavier weight will always be the weight of feelings.

So it is possible to take the life of another in order to save one.

Yi Luojia didn't want to admit that Yi Xin killed the man, but at the scene of the corpse, the "jin" written crookedly before the deceased died made him have nowhere to evade.

That is actually an unfinished word "Xin".

Now the whole of Yibei has spread. Yi Xin had a good relationship with Yin Tong when he was young. Later, the king granted Yi Xin territory, and Yi Xin went to Weicheng. , Unaccustomed to the soil and water in Elbe, gradually became sick and had to stay in bed.

Because Yi Xin felt that the relationship with Yin Tong was disgraceful, Yin Tong always kept a low profile in order to take care of his face, and rarely showed up. After getting sick, many people thought that the younger brother of Yi Ren's mother had already died, so they Slowly forget about him.

Yin Tong has been recuperating in the wing room of Yiren Building, and Yi Xin will come out to visit him occasionally. That is the only time Yin Tong can laugh, and it is also his only hope.

The medicine to prolong Yin Tong's life is very expensive, so every time Yi Xin came, Yi Ren would ask him for a lot of money. On the one hand, it was to buy medicine for his younger brother, and on the other hand, he resented Yi Xin for not treating Yin Tong well.

But she didn't know that Yi Xin could embezzle public funds to buy expensive medicines for Yin Tong without her inarticulate appearance and aristocratic vanity, and even kill people for him.

The deeper the mistake, the more it will be an endgame.

Yi Luojia and Su Yue walked through the busy city and walked to the moat. The autumn water was sparkling, passed through the city center, circled the imperial capital for a week, and then rushed into the distance.

Yi Luojia sat down on the hillside covered with decayed grass, his eyes fell in the vast darkness, he brushed his forehead hair ruffled by the night wind, and asked softly, "Su Yue, is there anyone you care about?"

Su Yue was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, he shook his head defensively, and said, "No."

Yi Luojia turned his head to look at him, and the deep and light blue diffused from the bottom of his eyes like an unpredictable mist, which made Su Yue feel as if he had completely seen through him, and his heart was locked. The red maple, however, couldn't lock the deep blue in Yi Luojia's eyes, the blue was like sea water, seeping in from every crevice, forming a vast ocean.

"...Really?" He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly, then turned his face away and looked at the end of the river from a distance, his eyes were a little lonely.

Su Yue looked at him, and after a while, he said: "...If you are sad, just cry, I won't look at you."

Iroka shook his head with a wry smile.Putting his hands on the grass, he let out a breath slowly: "I won't cry."

"why?"

Yi Luojia looked back at Su Yue's face, his blue eyes were bathed in starlight, and he said softly, "Because I cry, he will be sad."

"..." Su Yue's heart was blocked, and a strange feeling quietly spread from the bottom of his heart. He didn't know what that feeling was, but he knew that this feeling made him at a loss, and even panicked.

They didn't speak for a long time. He and Iroja just sat on the grass, quietly watching the starry night, letting the night wind blow through their hair.

After an unknown amount of time, Yi Luojia said casually and softly, "...kiss me, Su Yue."

The question was abrupt, but the tone was gentle and calm.

Su Yue was slightly startled, he looked at Yi Luojia, who was still squinting his eyes and staring at the stars in the sky peacefully, when Yi Luo Jia turned his face calmly and finally met Su Yue's eyes, he smiled gently and indifferently After a moment, he raised his slender hand and wrapped his fingertips around Su Yue's chin.

"Or do you want me to find a small official in the Liyuan tonight?"

"Is this how you relieve your worries?" Su Yue sneered relentlessly, but didn't break away from his hand.

Yi Luojia didn't provoke this awkward slave any more, he leaned slightly, and approached Su Yue's face in the night, his lips glowed with a faint color of water, silently tempting the lonely traveler who set foot in the desert.

"...You can kiss me, but I won't love you." When their lips were about to touch, Su Yue whispered.

Yi Luojia's eyelashes trembled slightly, he paused slightly, and replied softly: "I understand, we just take what we need, Su Yue, don't worry, I won't really fall in love with you..."

Then they all smiled slightly, but the curvature of the corners of their mouths was a bit bitter.

Lips and tongues depend on each other.

The withered yellow grass on the hillside was blown by the cold night wind and passed under them like waves.

In Elbe Palace, Lin Ruizhe was reporting the closed Yi Xin case to the king.

"As usual, the corpse of Commander-in-Chief Shi is to be abandoned in the mountains, but after all, Commander-in-Chief Shi is a member of the royal family. I think it's better to be on the safe side, so I ordered someone to bury his body in secret, and now the corpse is being buried in the North Prison."

Yi Tao listened absent-mindedly, and stretched out his cold white and delicate hands from under the sleeves of snow fox velvet, pinched a grape from the fruit plate on the desk, held it with his fingertips and looked at it carefully.

Lin Ruizhe frowned slightly, and asked tentatively, "My king?"

"Ah?" Yi Tao just came back to his senses. He glanced at Lin Ruizhe, tilted his head and thought about what he said just now, then shook his head, "Forget it, just throw away the corpse. Embezzlement of public funds is unforgivable in Yibei." The death penalty is only for cooperating with the enemy and betraying. If the law is not correct, I am afraid that the people will not obey."

"...Yes." Lin Ruizhe closed his eyes and said.

Yi Tao threw the grapes back into the fruit bowl, picked up a towel to wipe off the purple juice on his fingertips, and asked lightly, "...Is there any news from Ping Xijue recently?"

"Nothing special."

Yi Tao sighed and leaned on the back of the chair: "He has a Zhongshan wolf by his side, so he has to be on guard. You should be more careful on behalf of the lonely king, and don't let Ping Xijue fall too deep."

"..."

Yi Tao rubbed his forehead, raised his eyelids and glanced at the silent Lin Ruizhe, and said, "The lonely king knows that you hate Su Yue... If it wasn't for him, Xiao Na should be alive now, maybe the child is in her arms... "

Lin Ruizhe lowered his eyes, his expression becoming more and more numb.

"...It's been five years, General Lin." Yi Tao said slowly, "You are worthy of her too. The Yibei royal family owes you, so you shouldn't delay you any longer. If you have a fancy for a lady, just go with Gu The king said, the lonely king agrees."

Lin Ruizhe shook his head: "...No, I'm sorry for her. If I hadn't promised her to talk about Jiang Suyue...she wouldn't..."

"..." Yi Tao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and sighed, "Don't blame yourself anymore. These days, you have to close the case and train the soldiers. You have worked hard. Step back first, take care of yourself." Rest."

After Lin Ruizhe left, Yi Tao lay down on the table powerlessly, rubbing his brows with an irritable expression: "...Ye Yun, pour a cup of tea for the lonely king."

Ye Yun, who had been sitting by the side taking notes, pursed her lips, stood up with a cold face, poured a cup of half-hot scented tea for the king, and handed it over.

Yi Tao didn't answer, he looked at Ye Yun, frowned and said, "What's wrong? What made you angry?"

"No." Ye Yun replied stiffly, "How dare I be angry with the king, I'm not tired of living yet."

"..." Yi Tao looked at this master writer who didn't play cards according to common sense, and suddenly felt that his head, which had been caused by Yi Luojia, Yixin, Suyue, and Lin Ruizhe, was a little bit more dizzy.

"If it's okay, then you can back down too." Not wanting to talk to him anymore, Yi Tao frowned and waved impatiently, but unexpectedly, Ye Yun's temper was bigger than his, and he said coldly: " Back off, back off." Then he turned and left.

"You!" Yi Tao was so angry that he almost vomited blood, slapped the table hard, and shouted at the back of the writer, "Ye Yun, come back to the lonely king!"

Ye Yun slammed the door expressionlessly, go find your Ping Xijue, he thought angrily, get back?

Humph.

What a joke, Chen has already rolled away.

18. Return...

Su Yue fell into a drowsy sleep this time, and vaguely dreamed of the fire five years ago. The high execution platform burned Princess Xiao Na of Elbe to the bone. But in the dream, when he threw the torch When throwing it on the pyre, he suddenly discovered that the person tied to the rack was Yi Xin.

The scorching smell of the flames permeated the air, and the heat from the fire made him uncomfortable. He struggled in his sleep for a long time, until the morning light crawled through the window lattice and landed on his thick black eyelashes, and he was relieved. Wake up slowly.

The yellowish leaves outside the window are rustling with the wind, and the birds with white tips are jumping happily on the branches.

He blinked, and the depths of his eyes gradually became focused.Then he felt the warmth from his back. He lowered his head and saw a pair of handsome arms, light blue blood vessels intertwined under the fair skin, and the pulse echoed the beating of the heart.

"..." Su Yue closed his eyes, then opened them again, raised the arm that was pressing on him, turned over, and met Yi Luojia's sleeping face.

Iroka slept deeply, with a straight nose bridge that was handsome and delicate, and a pair of light-colored lips that were lightly pursed, always gentle and elegant.
