The demon concubine of rebirth, you have been tricked by gl

Yan Wanting looked at the thin and cold woman in front of her.

She didn't seem to have changed, no matter in her previous life or in this life, no matter it was her obsessive appearance, or her indifferent attitude that seemed to never take anything to heart.

The unwillingness in his heart is always devouring Yan Wanting's mind.

Love is not reconciled, hate is not reconciled, she doesn't even know how to face this woman, whether to continue to pretend to be intimate and gentle, or let the hatred wrap her, hate her and blame her.

It's just that the window paper has been punctured, and it seems that she can no longer choose by herself.

In front of the slightly open window, there is a night breeze blowing, which is a little cool, and the candles wrapped in lanterns on the table in the room are also gently swaying with the wind passing through the lampshade.

Xia Qiulian gently gathered the cloak on her body, put down the teacup, under the dim candlelight, her face was finally stained with some hazy warmth, she looked up at Yan Banting, and spoke softly.

"It's getting late, His Highness is staying in Qiulian Palace, what's the matter?"

"You're in good health." Yan Wanting sat down with a flick of his sleeves, and reached out to explore the teapot on the table.

The tea that had been poured long ago was already cold.

Xia Qiulian looked at Yan Banting with fixed eyes, and after a long silence, she lowered her eyes and opened her mouth to speak.

"His Royal Highness, please worry, Qiu Lian is fine."

Yan Wanting nodded, pushed away the teapot on the table, looked at the teacup Xia Qiulian had just finished drinking, and blamed him a little.

"If you're thirsty, ask the people below to bring up a pot of hot tea. You're not in good health, and you won't be afraid of hurting yourself if you drink this completely cold tea."

"Your Highness is like this, don't you feel tired?"

Yan Wanting was a little stunned by Xia Qiulian's words, and she looked at Xia Qiulian hesitantly.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Facing a person with resentment in his heart, why should His Highness pretend to be concerned?"

Xia Qiulian spoke softly, her eyebrows were downcast, her face was rare and gentle, but what she said made Yan Banting's chest choke.

Yan Wanting smiled instead of anger, she chuckled twice, the soft light in her eyes dissipated little by little, replaced by condensed coldness.

"Qiu Lian feels that what I say and do at this time are all hypocrisy."

"Could it be that His Highness is sincere."

"you..."

Yan Wanting became more and more embarrassed, she stared at Xia Qiulian and didn't know how to respond.

Xia Qiulian raised her eyes to look at Yan Wanting, seeing the anger in her icy eyes, a smile suddenly appeared on her pale face, it was a bit of gratifying and bitter smile.

"His Highness's anger at this time is sincere."

"Qiu Lian doesn't need His Highness's warm and caring pretense, but His Highness's sincere hatred. At least in this way, His Highness can make Qiu Lian feel that His Highness is still His Highness."

Xia Qiulian's words disturbed Yan Wanting's heart. She really hated this woman, not only hated that she had betrayed her, but also hated that a few light words from her could disturb her heart.

But she still asked casually.

"Are you sure that my concerns are all fake?"

"How sincere is Your Highness?"

Xia Qiulian sighed softly, she looked at Yan Banting, at her brows that were dimming bit by bit.

As she herself said, instead of letting Yan Wanting pretend to be concerned, it is better to let her be full of hatred.

Yan Wanting was originally a person with a true temperament, used to being unrestrained and unrestrained, but now he is like those scheming counselors, not only planning to plot others in his heart, but also putting on a mask to treat others with falsehood.

That would probably be tiring.

"Since you feel that I am not sincere in treating you, then I have nothing to say." Yan Banting stood up and brushed off her sleeves, she frowned with displeasure.

Xia Qiulian glanced at her and changed the subject.

"Your Highness, can you find out who the officials of Yan State who conspired with Jiang Xunyan back then are?"

Yan Wanting's heart moved, she looked at Xia Qiulian intently, with a little bit of inquiry.

"Why, maybe you know who it is."

"I don't know who it is, but I seem to have some clues"

Xia Qiulian shook her head thoughtfully, she seemed to be lost in thought.

In her previous life, after Yan Palace was breached, she was full of sin and wanted to die.

Jiang Xunyan came to the door several times, but was driven away by her cold words. Afterwards, Jiang Xunyan ordered Xia Qiulian to be placed under house arrest in Jingling Palace. After a few months, he gave Xia Qiulian a glass of poisoned wine.

Therefore, Xia Qiulian didn't know much about Jiang Xunyan at that time. After Jiang Xunyan became the new emperor, the old ministers of Yan State in the court and the central government changed their titles alternately.

Even so, she still heard something from Qing Yuan.

For example, the virtuous concubine Murong Xizhao disappeared from Yan Palace overnight, as if she disappeared out of thin air, with no trace or corpse.

Xia Qiulian thought about it, and slowly spoke, telling all she knew.

"After Jiang Xunyan entered the Yan Palace, all the high-ranking ministers in the court were thrown into prison, and some loyal ministers who would rather die than submit were also executed."

When she heard Jiang Xunyan's entry into Yan Palace, Yan Wanting's eyes flashed darkly, and she stared at Xia Qiulian closely with her lips pursed.

When Jiang Xunyan led an army of [-] people, they quietly bypassed the defense lines and besieged the Yan Palace. The Emperor of Yan knew that there must be a powerful official in the Yan Kingdom who conspired with Jiang Xunyan.

Otherwise, Jiang Xunyan would not be able to lead his army to besiege Yanfei City so smoothly.

So at that time, Emperor Yan didn't feel at ease giving the defense plan of Yanfei City to anyone, even if he put it on himself, he was afraid that someone would steal it, so he handed over the defense map to His Royal Highness the Princess, who would never be noticed by Yan Wan. Ting body.

It's just that at that time, no one would have thought that Yan Wanting had no defense against Xia Qiulian at all, and Xia Qiulian stole the defense map from his body under negligence, passed it out of Yan Palace, and handed it to Jiang Xunyan.

At that time, the Yan Palace was too chaotic, and everyone in the palace was strictly inspected and worked carefully, and everyone was in danger.

And that powerful minister who collaborated with the enemy didn't know whether he had a disturbed conscience or was too good at covering it up. No one knew about the powerful minister who had been collaborating with the enemy until the Yan Palace was breached, Yan Huang Bai Ling hanged the imperial study room, and Yan Wanting committed suicide. Who exactly.

After Yan Wanting came back from the dead, he secretly gathered in the photo studio in Yanfei City to spy, and quietly placed people in the courtier's residence of Yan Kingdom.

Although up to now, some suspects have indeed been found, but most of them are insignificant small officials who have no chance to get in touch with major military affairs.

Yan Wanting not only has to beware of Jiang Xunyan, who has been expanding his power in the Jianghu, but also secretly investigates the powerful officials of Yan who colluded with him.

Her resurrection was only five years before Yan Palace was breached, but Jiang Xunyan had secretly arranged it for nearly ten years.

Although it was still too late, it still fell behind in the end.

Seeing that Xia Qiulian had been silent for a long time, Yan Wanting opened his mouth to ask.

"Do you know, after Jiang Xunyan entered the Yan Palace, was there any high-ranking minister in the court, not only was his home not confiscated, but he was even rewarded with awards?"

After Xia Qiulian thought for a long time, she looked up at Yan Wanting and said softly.

"I was imprisoned in the Jingling Palace. I don't know much about the outside world, but I only know that the Concubine Xian disappeared quietly in the Yan Palace. Although the Murong family has not been appointed as an official, but They all moved to Qingzhou safe and sound."

"Murong family? This is so possible. The two brothers of the Murong family have been assisting the father since childhood. How could they?"

Yan Wanting was suffocated when she heard the words, her body trembled slightly.

She was not suspicious of the Murong brothers.

No wonder, it's no wonder that Xi Zuo was able to pass the news out of Yan Palace silently.

It's no wonder that the emperor's brother was secretly stabbed to death by a cold arrow when he was clearly in the army.

If it was really Murong's doing, then many things can be figured out.

Is it really the Murong family? No matter how many decades they guarded the frontier, they were loyal but never asked for credit. They even handed back the tiger amulet to Murong Qin, the general of the Emperor Yan, every time he returned to Beijing.

It is still Murong Shen, the first-rank Tai Fu who is dedicated to serving the people, has reformed the constitution many times, pursued trade with other countries, and made Yan Kingdom richer and more enlightened than other countries.

Yan Wanting pondered over and over in her mind, she looked up at Xia Qiulian with suspicion in her eyes.

"Xia Qiulian, what you said is the truth."

Xia Qiulian knew that what she said would make Yan Banting suspicious, after all Murong was the most trusted courtier of Emperor Yan.

Xia Qiulian spoke lightly.

"Whether it's true or not, let His Highness go and investigate, Qiu Lian is just telling His Highness what he knows."

Yan Wanting took a deep breath, her heart pounding continuously.

"Okay, I will send someone to investigate this matter."

Yan Wanting looked at Xia Qiulian who was sitting in front of him, and after saying nothing, he kept staring at her, his eyes flickering on and off.

She didn't know whether to believe Xia Qiulian, even if Xia Qiulian said that her rebirth was just to redeem everything, but Yan Wanting didn't fully trust her.

She secretly had a guess in her mind.

If so, Xia Qiulian lied to her, if it was Xia Qiulian's heart, it was Jiang Xunyan.

If...she just looked for an opportunity to disturb her train of thought and let her turn her attention to the two Murong brothers, ignoring Jiang Xunyan.

If her purpose is not to help her, but to help the one she loves in her heart, what about Jiang Xunyan?

Xia Qiulian didn't raise her head, as if she knew what Yan Banting was thinking, she lowered her head and spoke with a sigh.

"Your Highness doesn't believe me."

Yan Wanting's sharp gaze was like a sharp knife, and she did not hide her doubts at all.

"Why did you die, and why Jiang Xunyan banned you. I thought you should become Jiang Xunyan's queen, and share the world with him."

Xia Qiulian's hand tightened bit by bit, she raised her head to look directly into Yan Wanting's eyes, and spoke softly word by word.

Her eyes are deep and clear, like a pool of clear spring in late autumn, the clarity can be seen to the end at a glance.

"Because I don't want to."

Yan Wanting looked at her, pursed her lips, she looked away, raised her hand to add a cup of tea for herself, and asked in a low voice.

"Why don't you want to? It's just because your conscience is uneasy."

Xia Qiulian's eyes dimmed bit by bit, those clear pupils seemed to be stained with endless darkness and pain, black tide gushed out from her eyes, sad and desperate.

"Because those people who died tragically stood in front of my window every day and night, and they were watching me. I can't forgive myself. I once thought about killing Jiang Xunyan with my own hands."

"That's why you were banned by him."

Yan Wanting looked at Xia Qiulian, she raised her hand as if she wanted to reach out to stroke the sadness between Xia Qiulian's brows, but she quickly withdrew her hand, put it on her knee and slowly tightened it.

Xia Qiulian's expression was a little numb, and she spoke flatly about the first time she met Jiang Xunyan in her previous life after many years.

"He came victorious, rode a black steed, and went straight into Jingling Palace. His body was covered with blood, but he thought he was a hero smugly, but I could only see the innocent soul under his blade, and the deafening cries of pain."

"He used me, the people of Jiang Guo and Yan Guo who died tragically, just for the desire in his heart."

After Jiang Xunyan broke through the Yan Palace and saw the dead body of the Emperor Yan, he rushed all the way to Jingling Palace.

He thought that he had become the hero in Xia Qiulian's heart, and that he would be a highlight in the history books.

But the only thing he didn't expect was Xia Qiulian's deep-rooted hatred and disgust when he saw him for the first time many years later, and the knife that pierced Xia Qiulian's belly when he got off his horse and wanted to hug Xia Qiulian into his arms. dagger.

At that time, Xia Qiulian had just witnessed Yan Banting committing suicide, and the scarlet blood seemed to seep into her soul.

She raised a knife for the first time, and wanted to kill for the first time.

It's just that although Jiang Xunyan was defenseless, he was wearing soft armor. The dagger in Xia Qiulian's hand pierced his stomach, but it only cut open his flesh and could not kill him.

It was also Xia Qiulian's assassination that Jiang Xunyan could never forgive.

He thought that the woman he had always loved had been in Yan Palace for five years, and he really had the Emperor Yan who was over fifty years old in his heart.

He ordered that Xia Qiulian be imprisoned.

But because of the obsession in his heart, he has been refusing to let Xia Qiulian go.

It's just that when he saw Xia Qiulian looking at him, there was no tenderness in his eyes, only deep-seated resentment.

Finally gave up.

A cup of poisoned wine was sent to Jingling Palace.

Xia Qiulian drank it willingly, thinking that she would enter reincarnation.

But I didn't want to, when I woke up, I was in the courtyard of Jiang Guoxiang's mansion.

Her life begins again.
