crime of heart

the fate of life.

__Should he put his fate, even his life, in the hands of a man he has only known for half a month?

He didn't know whether to do it or not.But he knew, he wanted to do it.

——It's an adventure, I hope he's not trusting others.

When Ran Yi returned to the other courtyard, his whole body was immersed in an inexplicable restlessness and joy.Everything that is unknown in the darkness seems to be glowing.

He seemed to see Ji Yin, the person he didn't understand why he believed so easily, cast a meaningful glance at him in the dark.

20,

What Ran Yi didn't know was that someone followed his footsteps all the way from the other courtyard to the place where he dropped the letter, and followed all the way back.Then that person went to Ji Yin's palace overnight.

"Really?" Ji Yin's face was calm after hearing the report, "Did you see it clearly?"

"This subordinate has seen it clearly. He went to look for the captain of Lang Ye, and he left a secret letter."

"What about his identity?"

"It has yet to be verified."

"Okay. After finding out, report to me as soon as possible."

The next day, Ran Yi once again asked the head of the guard to bring a message to Ji Yin, telling him that he had something to say to him.But Ji Yin only nodded, but ignored it.He immersed himself in reviewing the documents, without even distracting himself from thinking about what the young man wanted to say and what his purpose was.

Actually, the guard brought him not good news, but not bad news either.

As a prince, he has long been used to betrayal and calculation.

__If that kid has any special identity, obviously, he deceived himself.This is understandable, after all, each is its own master.

__I just don't know if he knew the identity of his prince long ago.If so, he was deliberately approaching himself.

——If it was a deliberate approach... Was his heart attack real?Or, is this also a scam?

Ji Yin thought of several possibilities.But no matter what kind, it is not enough to make him angry, let alone punish the boy specially.

He wasn't even disappointed.

One by one it's just a pity for that Fontaine.After all, it is a priceless panacea.

It's just that it's a pity that it's a pity, but regret can't be said as much regret.

As a generous royal family, he has a lot of compassion and kindness.He can spread these to many people, and he doesn't care about wasting them on a foreign boy with ulterior motives.As for whether he was let down, in fact, he didn't particularly care.

He's just a little tired.

But he couldn't tell whether he was tired of the boy himself, or the possibilities brought by the boy... and the shattering of this illusion?

After all, no matter how wild a boy is, he is only one person.As a person, he has a family, a past, and everything that is constantly involved.After all, he is not a wild cat, he can be raised and kept by his side without any scruples.

Late at night.

The spy retreated, and Ji Yin continued to review today's memorial documents.The things about the boy whirled and disappeared from his mind.The last aftermath remains on the word "Fontaine".

At the same time, in the other courtyard, Ran Yi's eyes were still wide open.Numerous illusions appeared in his eyes and disappeared again.His heart was so agitated that it almost overwhelmed his fragile heart.

He seems to have seen a completely different new life, with the person he has completely trusted... All these things are intertwined, like a door slowly opening.

Door.

But he didn't know that in a palace not far away, the gate had been completely closed.Those lights have also disappeared from the future.

Or, that door never actually opened in the first place.

In the dark, everything has a definite number.

21,

What Ran Yi expected was correct.The captain really didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly sent his secret letter back to Lang Ye, and passed it to his mother and concubine.After receiving the reply letter from the captain, Ran Yi opened it and found that his mother only replied to him with one sentence.

"May my son be safe and happy."

Ran Yi's eyes were sore.He knows that his mother has always been indifferent to him—maybe, because of his body, the mother is also ready to say goodbye to her son at any time.

However, after all, his mother sent him the last blessing.

Maybe in this life, mother and son will never meet again.

While thinking about it, Ran Yi blinked vigorously.He held back the tears, and when he raised his head again, the melancholy of parting in his heart had been suppressed in a corner of his heart.

The sky was blue and cloudless.With the sound of a bird chirping, Ran Yi knew that there was no trace of a bird in the sky, but the bird had already flown by.

But he, a caged bird kept in the deep palace of Lang Ye, will never be trapped in a golden cage again.

He suddenly felt extremely excited.

His new life seemed to be really about to begin.

He wrote a letter to Ji Yin, the letter only had a few words,

"I would like to stay".

Then he asked the chief guard to bring this letter to Ji Yin.For the first time, his mood was so clear, and his attitude towards the chief guard was much more polite.What he didn't know was that when the chief guard put the letter on the table, there was another secret report beside it.

One by one it recorded his life experience and everything about his mother and concubine.

22,

"He is Ran Yi? Ran Yi, Prince Lang Ye?"

After reading the secret letter, Ji Yin was silent for a moment, and then laughed.

"I thought he was a Lang Ye scout at most. But I didn't expect that the result was more unexpected than I expected. Prince? I hate the brother of Lang Ye Kingdom, but he came to Daxie to carry out this kind of murder! He really died in my place, do I have to clean up the mess for them?"

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"That stupid King Yu must pay the price."

"Your Highness said..."

"He dared to make a fake prince to deceive me! He is really tired of life. Since he wants to kill Ran Yi here at all costs, then Ran Yi must return to Langye alive__ and then kill this idiot !"

"Are we going to form an alliance with Ran Yi?" The chief guard hesitated, "But this person is paranoid, suspicious, and emotional...Your Highness, as a

Prince, actually wants to stay with us in Daxie!How ignorant is this, how can you form an alliance with such a person, Your Highness?What's more, I heard that he has always had heart disease, maybe he won't live to be an adult at all, let alone Ji inheriting the throne.Would it be a bit…"

"He won't die."

Ji Yin interrupted the chief guard.

"He will survive, kill this useless King Yu, and clear away the obstacles that stand in his way. He will become the emperor of Lang Ye and create an imperial structure that is beneficial to our Da Xie..."

One by one, the balance of the Three Kingdoms in these years is actually time to break.

Everyone knows that Ji Yin is a modest gentleman with good behavior and is trusted by his friends; he is also a model of the royal family and a role model for the prince.

It was because of this that Bai Qingyan was able to trust him with those terrible things.He knew that Ji Yin would not use the evil secrets deeply buried in Yuyao's exercises for his own self-interest.

But what if it is for the benefit of Dae-seop?What if there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Daxie to completely break away from the stalemate of the three kingdoms, and finally become the overlord of one side in the hands of Ji Yin?

——Bai Qingyan, after all, she was too naive.

--One should not test human nature.

One by one, because of human nature, we can never withstand temptation.

23,

Ji Yin never used anything in that dusty box.He didn't give that thing to anyone either.

But within a few days after Ran Yi's identity was revealed, the box mysteriously appeared in the other courtyard.

No one knows where it came from, or from whom.

Until a long time later, the reputation of Ran Yi's generation of tyrannical monarchs spread back to Da Xie.Facing his elder brother, Ji He talked about the torture and blood in the deep palace in a curious tone.But Ji Yin just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

A seed sown many years ago bears fruit many years later.Of course, even the sower of that seed didn't expect that it not only saved the man's life, but also grew into a strange monster.

Even if he knew, maybe he wouldn't care too much.

24.

Ran Yi did not receive a reply from Ji Yin.

Not on the first day, and not on the second day.When there was still nothing on the third day, he panicked.

But before he could put all his eggs in one basket, he ventured into the palace to find the figure of this "guard", a group of capable tribal warriors outside the Great Wall had already arrived outside the palace.

They came from the tribe of Ran Yi's mother and concubine.The king of the clan received a letter from Prince Daxie, and was shocked that his grandson, Prince Lang Ye, who had a quarter of his blood, chose to flee anonymously...

And his daughter actually agreed!

If it wasn't his grandson who finally sat on the throne of Lang Ye, what's the point of his painstaking efforts in Lang Ye all these years?The price he paid was so high, it was a bet on Lang Ye for decades, it was all-round support, even sending him his most beautiful daughter!

How could so many years of business be ruined by this grandson?Even if he has heart disease, he must sit on the throne and give birth to an heir with tribal blood before he can die!

__At this time, there are less than ten days before Ran Chen's birth.

If the tribal king had known that his daughter was carrying a healthy boy, perhaps he would not have been so eager to intervene.

Perhaps, he will abandon this eldest grandson who doesn't know how long he will live, and concentrate on supporting the younger grandson who is more controllable.Ran Yi will become an abandoned son—the meaning of abandoning a son includes abandonment, but it also includes freedom.

One by one, the fate of many people will also be changed forever.

It's a pity that there are never ifs in this world, but there are many "buts".

When the turning point of fate comes, it is often not vigorous, but silent.

[Special episode] [Double Emperors] Nothing to do with Fengyue 7

25.

Ran Yi didn't wait for Ji Yin's reply, but he waited for his grandfather's warrior army.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but when he saw those barbarian warriors, the reply letter he had been waiting for was also delivered to him.

This letter is very short, only three words - "survive."

The last stroke of the word "Go" left a long trace on the paper, and the envelope was also dripping with ink.It seemed that someone had written this letter in a hurry, and had to seal it before waiting for the ink to dry completely. This kind of haste gave Ran Yi a different feeling.

One by one, he didn't reply for so long. Could it be because he has been under surveillance and there is no way to send a reply?

After all, even grandpa came here from the distant grasslands, and his identity may no longer be a secret.As a guard, he may not be able to know the truth of the matter, but those big men in Daxie will definitely know.

One by one, that's why he didn't reply, didn't show up, and didn't have any news.

Could it be that he took the risk to find a gap to write down even this hasty sentence, and then carried it out?

One by one, after all, he is the prince of Lang Ye, so the matter is of great importance.What can he do as a little guard?

Ran Yi forgave Ji Yin from the bottom of his heart, but there was no reply.He thought of countless possibilities__or, to be more precise, he thought of countless excuses for that person.When he thought of it, his heart throbbed slightly, but it was not for himself, but for the other party.

It will not be until a few years later, when he himself has become a mature emperor and can use power and tricks to manipulate people's hearts in his hands, that he will realize how ridiculous he is today.

But at this moment, all he has is the sadness and melancholy that hit his heart directly.

The crumpled envelope was held in his palm, and he squeezed it tighter and tighter.Suddenly, he found that there seemed to be something in the envelope.When I opened it, there was a dark and small pill hidden in the corner, exuding a strange fragrance.

He recognized the scent.

That day, when he was chased by King Yu's men and almost died by the pond, that man saved his life with such a pill.

Yi Yi once promised him that he would pay him back this favor with ten taels of gold.

- Now it seems that this love will never end.

Ran Yi didn't know, to Ji Yin, let alone ten taels of gold, even a hundred taels, a thousand taels, what was it?

All he wanted was for Ran Yi to miss him.

But what Ran Yi wanted was love.

__Unfortunately, what they were asking for was something completely different.

26.

Just three words, Ran Yi read and read.Then he hid the letter in his undershirt.It's really strange, it's just a thin piece of letter paper, but he can feel the scorching temperature.

Even his fragile heart seemed to be burned by the temperature attached to the letter.

"He..." Ran Yi finally made up his mind at this moment.He lightly asked the chief guard, "Excuse me, what is his name?

The chief guard has never been allowed to tell the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to this person in front of him.Even if he was asked to invent a fake name on the spot, he would not dare.

After a moment of hesitation, the chief guard said softly,

"There are so many outsiders here, it's not good to let others know. If someone finds out that he has contacted Langye people in private, he will have a hard time."

"That's right."

Ran Yi looked a little gloomy, and he continued to ask,

"Then does he have anything else to say to me?"

This, Ji Yin clearly told the chief guard.So he answered quickly,

"He told you to take good care of your illness and live."

"anything else?"

"I heard that you are a big man. This time, someone from Langye Kingdom came to pick you up. He said that he hoped that you would defeat those who wanted to kill you one by one. If people die, there will be nothing left. But if To be alive, anything is possible. Whatever you want, you will have it someday."

One by one when Ji Yin uttered these words, what he was thinking of was a generation of overlords in the mountains and rivers of thousands of miles, who would turn the clouds and rains together vertically and horizontally.What he thought was that if he could form a deep relationship with the emperor when he was young, there would always be a subtle moment that would come in handy.

What Ji Yin didn't expect was that when Ran Yi heard these words, he was thinking of only one person.

__Ji Yin was even more unlikely to think that that person...could be him.

"In this case, I will live a good life." Ran Yi thought for a while, then whispered to the chief guard, "Please also tell him to ask him to live a good life. If there is a chance in the future, come to Lang Ye Country to find me .”

"Tell him, my name is Ran Yi."

In the future, the emperor, who was known for his shady and impermanent behavior, showed a shy smile at this moment,

"If he wants to come to me, he can go to the palace. He only needs to say a word, and all the palaces can go unimpeded."

"What?"

"Your Majesty owes me something, and I'm here to collect the debt today."

Saying this, the smile on Ran Yi's face became even brighter.The chief guard didn't understand the meaning of his words, he just stared blankly at his face, thinking in his heart, when this kid wasn't so sullen, he wasn't so annoying.

He didn't know that this was the first time Ran Yi laughed so contentedly in his life.

Ran Yi himself didn't know that this would be the last time in his life that he laughed so contentedly.

end

Before Ran Yi left, he lived in this palace for another three days.

No one knows what he got here.

No one noticed the subtle expression on his face when he left Daxie.

After all, in everyone's impression, he is a good-for-nothing but willful and incompetent useless prince.

But soon, his name rang out in the whispered conversations of countless Lang Ye nobles, initially with surprise, then with fear.

Everyone thought that it was his mother and concubine who died in childbirth that caused his temperament to change drastically.Later, he completely ignored Ran Chen for six full years, and the extraordinary favor that came afterwards—in the eyes of some people who knew the inside story, it was extremely cruel—further confirmed this news.

No one knows the purpose of the cruel punishment he followed.Who gave this method to him.

Everyone just hoped that he would die early.

After all, with such a serious heart disease, his life will not be long, right?

__But he is not dead.

Not only did he not die, but his cruelty intensified, like a dark cloud shrouded the entire Lang Ye court.In the end, when he killed all those who dared to plot to overthrow him, everyone bowed their heads and bowed their heads in his Hehewei name.

He became the supreme emperor of Lang Ye, who could get everything he wanted.

——Except for what he really wanted.

certainly.All this will have to wait until the distant future.

But at this moment, Ran Yi was sitting on the return carriage, his eyes fixed on the surrounding scenery.

Ran Yi never thought that he would never come back for the rest of his life, except in his dreams.

This other courtyard haunted him in his dreams for more than ten years, until the day he died.

Ran Yi didn't think of too many things.

Because at this moment, he has not yet faced the death of his mother and concubine, so he is still full of expectations for the birth of a younger brother or younger sister; he has not killed anyone yet.His hands were not yet stained with blood;

He still secretly has a deep nostalgia and longing for someone.Even, he still has a hope, looking forward to meeting again in the future - for Ji Yin, the accident brought about by this meeting is over.

But for Ran Yi, everything has only just begun.
