incomprehensible

When the royal families of the two dynasties met, life and death were supposed to be at odds, but there seemed to be no tension between Ye Xuehuan and Yu Wushuang, only endless depression and treachery.The room was also filled with a rancid smell, stronger than that in the courtyard, which could only explain the smell of Yu Wushuang's body.

In such an atmosphere, Tong Xuan was on his back, more vigilant than ever before.Although the woman in front of her looks weak, she actually bought her temporary immortality at the price of her life; not to mention swords, guns and weapons, even firearms and explosives can't do anything to her.He couldn't help but wonder what kind of genius the ancestor of the former Feng family was, who was able to develop such a medicine that violated the principles of heaven and earth; fortunately, he died in the end, otherwise if he really got a glimpse of the secret of longevity, In this world, there is nothing about Ye Xueshi.

"Xiaolan is such a good boy."

Yu Wushuang folded her hands on the desk, with her constant smile on her face. It didn't seem like she was talking about family and country affairs with Ye Xuehuan, but rather, she seemed to be recalling the growth process of her beloved child, "My first Once I realized that there might be something wrong with him, and before breaking into the palace, he urged me to destroy all the fallen flowers, including the prescription. Although the situation was special at the time, it was clearly to completely destroy the skylark, which was too much to destroy, unlike me The hidden thoughts that I taught. It’s just that I didn’t want to take advantage of Yun’s at the time, so I followed him.”

"Your Highness, do you know how many people King Yi prepared to arrest me when he broke into the palace that day?" She pointed to her belly and smiled, "The other Jin Jing was captured and committed suicide on the spot, even I was fatally injured. , can only rely on her beauty and dry bones to maintain her mobility, but Xiaolan only suffered some minor injuries and escaped faster than me. It is true that this is because I am the focus of the hunt, and most of the people are concentrated on me, but Being able to escape so smoothly can only show that he has properly planned his escape route long ago, and has long since had the heart to betray him."

Ye Xuehuan remained calm, although it sounded like nonsense, but this woman involved not only the Feng clan of the previous dynasty, but also Yiguo and Yunque, and every word she said might contain extremely important information, so it must be carefully distinguish.

Yu Wushuang said: "After entering the territory of Chongyang, I found some traces of larks' activities, and wondered why the beak was so bad, and then I realized that it was Xiaolan's hands and feet. At that time, I knew that there was something wrong with him. , and there was a problem when I first entered Skylark."

"It's terrifying to be able to come to Lark as an undercover agent at the age of six, and the master behind him is so terrifying. So I really want to see who the master behind him is, and I even covered him a few times along the way, otherwise he would not be able to escape at all To Luanyang. Although he himself despises the beak, those loyal dogs are not so useless, he is too arrogant—or, is he too impatient to wait to see you?"

Ye Xuehuan was secretly startled, he himself, the Liu family and Yunque were all looking for her with all their might, but after searching to no avail, they could only stare at Lan Qi and wait for the rabbit; From the very beginning, he had already noticed everyone's intentions, hiding in the dark and watching them dancing wildly.At the beginning, Lan Qi said that he could only wait if he wanted to see her, and he was afraid that the Liu family would take the lead; now it seems that he overestimated the Liu family and himself too much.

And Lan Qi's anti-siege that he thought was perfect was actually just another mantis catching cicadas, which was observed and manipulated by Yu Wushuang, without knowing his cards.

"I actually don't believe that His Highness is the master behind him. You were just a child 14 years ago, and you shouldn't be able to make such a long-term plan." Yu Wushuang shook her head, "Until I found out that he was carrying deed Gu, I finally understood."

Ye Xuehuan heard that she finally got to the point, raised a pair of sharp phoenix eyes, and stared straight at the gentle and harmless woman in front of her.

"Deed Gu... how should I put it?" Yu Wushuang thought for a while, as if she was choosing her words carefully, and seemed to deliberately whet his appetite, "Your Highness also knows that Xingzu has developed many so-called immortal medicines. , Immortality Gu, but these medicines and Gu can't really achieve longevity, and they will eventually become walking corpses without exception. Among them, Deed Gu is the best one, because it allows the owner to enjoy immortality, and the host to bear the consequences. Vulnerable, life for life."

Ye Xuehuan's pupils shrank suddenly, Yu Wushuang looked at him, and said word by word: "Understood? Xiaolan is the host of the deed Gu, and you are his deed owner. He is your nutrient and supply, and is yours." Second life."

Tong Xuan was terrified when he heard it, Ye Xuehuan's face was gloomy, and Yu Wushuang continued to say: "Qi Gu needs to be nourished by the host for ten years before it can mature, and it will be nourished once a month during this period. Before the deed Gu is fully mature, this level of heart-eating will not bring much burden to the host; but after maturity, if the deed master is not around, the Gu worm will be restless and can only feed a large amount of blood to relieve the pain. Appease, and it will become more and more serious, urging him to go to the owner's side."

"Now that I think about it, Xiaolan asked me to take a bath every month, and that's the reason." She squinted her eyes slightly, with an expression of sigh or regret, "Deed Gu is neither a disease nor a poison, no matter how good a doctor is, it can't be diagnosed." Come out, otherwise he won't be able to enter the skylark at all. I only felt a little strange at first, but after a few times of secret inspections, he seemed to be really just asleep. It is said that this heart-biting pain is like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, thanks to him for not It makes me suspicious that I can actually grit my teeth and pretend to be asleep. I have nothing to say about being deceived by such a child."

Ye Xuehuan was still silent, but his fingers were exerting force uncontrollably, and the incense ball in his palm was almost deformed by his pinching.No one knows better than him how much Lan Qi is afraid of pain, and how much he is able to bear it.He no longer dared to think about how Lan Qi got here all these years, and what kind of power was supporting him; the Empress Chu who gave him the mission had long since passed away, so for whom was he persevering?

"...What about the solution?"

Ye Xuehuan's voice trembled slightly, Yu Wushuang could hear it clearly, and said with a smile: "As long as you die, the owner of the deed Gu will be exhausted, and it will be released naturally. But as I said before, he is the one who bound himself and cut off all escape routes. , I can’t go anywhere except by your side.”

Her smile was rather secretive, "During the time he was with you, did he ever have a high fever?"

Ye Xuehuan frowned, remembering the day when he returned to the city from Youling's station.

Yu Wushuang said: "That's passion. He likes you and has sex with you. The deed Gu is stimulated by your energy, and it will trigger passion. It's hard to say when it will be triggered, just like the relationship between husband and wife. During the period, no one knows which intercourse will lead to pregnancy."

"Even if the passion is triggered, he actually has room to retreat; if he doesn't do anything and stay up for several hours, it's just an ordinary high fever. But if he drinks your blood in the passion..."

She paused, looked deeply at those crimson phoenix eyes, and her tone became more and more gentle, "...the blood deed turns into a life deed, the deed gu recognizes the master for the second time, and the blood of the deed enters the body, and it will be invulnerable to all poisons." Invasion, he was seriously injured and survived. When he was poisoned by the jade phosphorus spider poison, he used gu blood to detoxify, which caused the heart-biting pain. You can see it. It is not a poison that ordinary people can resist, nor is it common. People can lose blood without incident, in fact, Hongling also saw through the fact that he was carrying deed Gu, so he wanted to make Hongling shut up completely."

"As the owner, his flesh and blood can detoxify and heal your wounds; even if you die from serious injuries, you can use his life to bring you back."

"But if he sheds all his blood, the deed Gu will turn the blood to protect his life, and when the blood enters the brain...he will be an empty puppet that can only supply blood to you."

"If he leaves your side, the Qi Gu will not be able to feel the breath of the Qi Master, and the heart-biting pain will recur, and it will become more severe. Within a year, he will also turn into a puppet, without all consciousness, only one kind of consciousness will be left. Instinct is to extend your life."

"Of course, if you die, he will be free; but since the passion is triggered, it means that the love is deep, so why would he watch you die?"

"Once the deed Gu recognizes the master for the second time, there will be no solution until death."

With a loud bang, Ye Xuehuan flipped the desk in front of him, his whole body bounced up, stepped back a few steps, and shouted sharply: "What nonsense! How can there be such absurd things in the world!"

"Is it nonsense, Your Highness knows best in his heart, doesn't he?" Compared to his sternness, Yu Wushuang was more calm, "Have you tasted his blood? It should be... sweet?"

Ye Xuehuan was indeed clear in his heart.

That night at Youling's residence, Lan Qi said that he would never let anything happen to him.

On the carriage back to the city, Lan Qi said that he was willing to exchange his life for him.

That night when he was poisoned with the poisonous spider, Lan Qi said that he couldn't be alone.

Only now did he finally understand the true meaning of those words, and finally understand what kind of consciousness and sacrifice Lan Qi had made.

Just such a painless bite completely bound Lan Qi's life to him.It's ridiculous that he thought it was Lan Qi's jerky and bold teasing and seduction, and asked him if he knew what he was doing.

Lan Qi always knew what he was doing.Opened his body to him, dedicated his heart to him, even entrusted his life to him, more desperate than moths to a flame.

If we want to go back a little further, Lan Qi would be so flustered after their first lingering, probably not only because he felt that he was losing his composure, but also because he was afraid that the passion would be triggered; but when the passion really came, he still did not hesitate. Bite off the bite.

——Just because I heard him say that I like it.

"If this is the effect of deed Gu..." Ye Xuehuan's mind went blank, and his voice became erratic, "Why did the Queen Mother plant Gu for him?"

Yu Wushuang replied happily: "Deed Gu is the pinnacle work of Xingzu. It is said that even Xingzu himself is a puppet master, and his host has already become a puppet. Xingzu has relied on his host countless times in his entire life. Rescued. There are rumors that he brought his host into the imperial tomb as his tomb guard; there are even more rumors... that Xingzu is still in the imperial tomb, relying on the gu blood of this puppet, Live on the last breath."

The words were chilling, Tong Xuan couldn't help but feel hairy all over, and even Ye Xuehuan couldn't help trembling slightly.

"Of course the rumors are not credible, but Ancestor Awakening did have a legacy. The deed Gu is related to the world and cannot be lost or copied."

She smiled intriguingly, "The Feng family has always kept this unique deed Gu properly and sealed it in a special way. Xingzu once said that it should not be used until the Feng family fell and had to open the imperial tomb; When it was broken, this deed Gu was secretly taken away by someone. Skylark has been searching for it for more than a hundred years, but it has been unsuccessful. I also want to know where Empress Chu found it, but she is nothing more than for Guarantee that Xiaolan can open the imperial tomb, so that you can win the world, so there is no need to force him to recognize the Lord for the second time, let alone force it."

"The one who makes a bond is the bond. The host voluntarily agrees with fate, enters the bond with love; when love arises, the bond grows, when the love is deep, the bond is knotted, if the love continues, the bond will not be resolved, and if the bond is not resolved, life will never end."

"Xiao Lan has come to this point only because...he loves you."

For a moment, the world was silent, only the infinitely magnified heartbeat roared in the chest cavity.

--"he loves you."

What a light and easy three words, as if it is a matter of course, as if that is the whole meaning of Lan Qi's life.

From the beginning to the end, Lan Qi was the only one who dedicated and sacrificed, and he didn't even know about it.All the promises I made to Lan Qi were like jokes, saying that I like him, saying that I will live forever, saying that I will never leave him, and I think that I am reassuring his heart, but in fact they are only binding him tighter and tighter.

Lan Qi originally had a way out.It was he who cut off these escape routes one by one with his own hands, forcing him to never leave himself.

Having obtained everything from him as he wished, he actually started to get carried away with pride, started to feel confident, and pushed him out with his own hands because of a little bit of boring anger.

He thought of Lan Qi's expression when he grabbed his sleeve at the end, how stupid he must be to be so cruel as to shake off that hand.

Their giving and taking have never been equal, and they will never be equal from now on.If this is the price for Lan Qi's love for him, then he would rather that Lan Qi didn't love him voluntarily than that Lan Qi didn't love him, so that he could find an irresponsible excuse for his carelessness, so that he wouldn't be as ruthless as he is now. Knife twisted.

I don't know if the so-called heart-eating pain is just this feeling.

Ye Xuehuan stared blankly at the incense ball in his hand, his chest seemed to be blocked by a piece of iron, and there was an unbearable dull pain like a fire; his throat was tight and astringent, and his nose was full of rusty smell, fishy and sweet The liquid poured into his mouth uncontrollably.

"Your Highness...!"

It wasn't until Tong Xuan exclaimed that he belatedly raised his hand to wipe his lips, wiping the shocking scarlet from his hand.

But Yu Wushuang was completely unmoved, and said leisurely: "I only know so much about the deed Gu. As for the Liu family and the Yi country, do you still want to hear about it?"

Ye Xuehuan stopped Tong Xuan who rushed forward to help him, leaned against the door frame to stabilize his figure, and said softly, "Say it."

There was no blood on his face, but his expression was terrifyingly calm, his phoenix eyes were desolate, like the snowfield in the deepest part of the North Ridge, cold and desolate.

Tong Xuan said anxiously: "Your Highness, you..."

"To shut up."

Ye Xuehuan didn't look at him, nor at Yu Wushuang, his eyes were firmly locked on the incense ball, and he stroked the carvings on it with his fingertips, as if he could vaguely feel a familiar temperature.

"The plot of the Liu family, I just want to say one thing, you should be able to understand." Yu Wushuang continued on her own, "The current princess, please call me cousin."

Tong Xuan was horrified, if the princess concubine was really the legacy of the former Feng family, as long as she gave birth to an heir, and when the prince succeeded to the throne, the Liu family could use the youngest son to restore the Feng family dynasty, while he himself would sit behind the curtain, holding the emperor to order Princes, become the real masters of this world!

The Yexue family has been in power for more than a hundred years. Although the government is stable, the Feng family has a thousand-year foundation after all, and even now there are still some hidden followers among the people.The Liu family was originally a courtier of the Feng family. If they really want to play the banner of restoration, there must be someone to support it.What's more, if they can successfully open the imperial mausoleum and get the countless treasures of Xingzu back then, it is not a fantasy that the world will change hands.

It can only be said that it is really worthy of the Liu family, which has been run for generations, has been a seller twice, and is willing to bear the name of a traitor, but the ambition behind it has never changed. It only focuses on the chair that symbolizes the master.

Such a shocking secret, but Ye Xuehuan didn't react too much. Remembering that Bai Houwan said before that the Liu family should never be allowed to put the crown prince on the throne, it is estimated that King Dingnan already knew some inside information, so he was in a hurry to destroy the Liu family. minions.

He pursed his lips tightly and coughed twice before saying: "The crown princess is the granddaughter of the former Shuai of the Northeast, if you want to accuse her of being the legacy of the Feng family or your cousin, you'd better have evidence."

His voice was very soft, and it sounded a little weak, but on the contrary, it revealed an irresistible courage and majesty.

"I've seen with my own eyes those old men in the Yu family who are not willing to die. If you really want evidence, you can only dig up the bones of the real princess."

Yu Wushuang shook her head, finally revealing a little tiredness that could not be concealed, "The old things have been quiet for too long, and after being instigated by Liu Ting for a while, they revived again. I really thought I could return to the country. I didn't even know Liu Ting I don't know how Ting got here, and I don't know when the conspiracy started; forgive those old people who also knew that I would not agree, let alone hand over the key to the imperial tomb, so they did everything possible to hide it from me. Until five years ago, Your prince got married, and they asked someone from Yubu before I found out. Yu Tian is a golden feather, and her charm is extraordinary, if she really wants to disguise herself, no one will be able to tell."

Ye Xuehuan still didn't look at her, his glazed eyes seemed to become clearer and lighter, not like the usual sharp edge, but with a different kind of penetrating power and a sense of intimidation, "That's why you let Lan I went to the southwestern frontier to steal the Tiger Talisman, intending to destroy the cooperation between the two families?"

"I really didn't care about this matter." Yu Wushuang sighed, "I can only teach the Liu family a lesson, but in fact it just strengthened his determination to get rid of me. The population case you found is just an iceberg In one corner, the time when the Liu family provided people for Skylark can be traced back to more than ten years ago at the earliest, not only from the Chongyang territory, but also from the Western Regions, the Southern Wilderness, and even the Southeast Asia; On the other hand, the Liu family also obtained part of the training methods of the Skylark. Although the eyes have not been infiltrated, the feathers and beak have already become domestic dogs raised by the Liu family for the Yun family. Just wait for the time to come and replace me. The batch you found was built after they got rid of me, so Hong Ling personally went to check on it."

"As early as five years ago, they have been conspiring to get rid of me. I am only one person, and I am attacked from both sides. It is the limit to be able to hold the key of the imperial tomb."

She twitched the corners of her mouth, with a sarcastic and desolate expression, "Even if I'm full of mouths, I can't persuade those old bastards to go back to their rampant and stupid ambitions. Restoring the country? Do you really think you can handle the Liu family? Biting each other." Hairy mouth, no one can please in the end."

Ye Xuehuan said indifferently: "My Ye Xue family has no mediocrity. The eldest brother is indeed not smart, but he is not a fool. Even if he doesn't know the Liu family's specific plans, he will not be manipulated easily. After five years of marriage, your niece There is no movement in his stomach, which shows that he himself is also on guard, and doesn't want to be a chess piece that is thrown away when it is used up."

"I hope so." Yu Wushuang propped her chin on the desk with one hand, and sighed, "The Liu family has not yet started to persecute the crown prince, because you are the biggest obstacle to the crown prince's succession, and we must get rid of you first. Only in this way can we ensure that the crown prince can succeed. You must know what plan Liu Ting has made for this southern tour. I don’t want the Yu family to be involved in the internal strife of your central government. They are afraid that I will obstruct it, so they are in the south Get rid of me before patrolling."

"It's also funny. If they don't attack me, Xiaolan won't find a chance to escape. You'll never know what's going on here. Now maybe they have succeeded."

"The Liu family wants to kill me, it's not that easy." Ye Xuehuan finally looked at her with disdain, "Besides, if you didn't think I could defeat the Liu family for you, why did you come to me? "

He understood why Yu Wushuang came to him.

A woman whose death date has already been fixed, yet can manipulate several forces and so many big figures in her hands, making them all immersed in self-righteous schemes, unaware that she is just a singer on the stage , and she was the only audience.

Everyone thought that Lan Qi was the bait released by Ye Xuehuan, but in fact she was the cunning hunter who waited for half a year, and spent the rest of her life waiting for Ye Xuehuan and the Liu family to fight each other, until the Skylark The loss was heavy, and the Liu family was too busy to take care of themselves, so they came out again to make use of their strength to add fuel to the flames.

She is running out of time, but she wants to make all those who betrayed her pay a terrible price, so she wants to hand over all the information to Ye Xuehuan, and he will destroy the Liu family, even pull out the skylark, destroy Yi Guo.

She clearly knows Ye Xuehuan's thoughts on Lan Qi, so she knows very well that if Ye Xuehuan wants to completely clean up Lan Qi's background and want him to stand under the sun without worry, Yi Guo and Yunque will must disappear.

She was indeed alone, and she couldn't resist the three parties of the Liu family, the Yun family, and the Yu family. No matter how exquisite her mind was, she was powerless to recover.But before her life ends, she wants to find someone who can do it for her, and she must make sure that Ye Xuehuan will do it.

She told about the deed Gu, just to make him feel guilty, to make him love Lan Qi more, and to lock up the relationship between them.Knowing that he was being used by her, but even for Lan Qi, he had to fight against the Liu family and He Yiguo.

It's no wonder that Lan Qi has always respected this woman, and it's no wonder that even Hong Ling is jealous and afraid of her, and hates her to the bone.She is indeed more powerful and resourceful than Hong Ling, and she also knows how to endure and wait for opportunities.

——Or it should be said that she is worthy of being a legacy of the former royal family, and she was born knowing how to control the wind and rain.

Yu Wushuang saw through his purpose, but instead smiled proudly: "If it wasn't for Xiaolan, how could you be so successful. Even if he doesn't want me in his heart, he was raised by me after all. I trust him, not you. "

Ye Xuehuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a snort, his gaze was as cold as a knife's edge, with a touch of deep pain, "If that's the case, why did you hurt him like this?"

Yu Wushuang replied with a smile: "He was raised and cultivated by me alone. He is my most beloved child. No matter what he did wrong, even if he was separated from me, I will forgive him. And you? What did he do that is unforgivable?" What made you insist on driving him away? It was you who made him feel that you didn't love him, didn't want him, and you were the one who hurt him, not me."

Ye Xuehuan's face turned pale again, and her thin lips were pursed into a bloodless straight line.

He thought of Lan Qi when they first met, he raised his head proudly, flames danced in his dark eyes, which made his heart itch.Later, they gradually became close, and Lan Qi would occasionally play a little temper with him, express her wishes to him frankly, and act like a baby to him for comfort when she was injured or sick, and gradually became more and more dependent on him.But he always felt that it was not enough, and he always felt that he couldn't hold Lan Qi firmly, so he unconsciously pressed harder and harder, declaring his ownership of him over and over again, forcing him to say that he would not leave over and over again.

Now he finally understood what was wrong.Because in this relationship, Lan Qi has never put himself on an equal footing with him, and has always regarded him as the master, not a partner.

Lan Qi always called his Highness politely, never refused any of his requests, and even let him play around on the bed.Occasionally capricious or bold provocative provocations are just according to his wishes, because he likes Lan Qi like that, not necessarily from Lan Qi's own wishes.

He has stood at the top of power for too long, and he is used to being looked up to, so he is immersed in Lan Qi's obedient and docile, unable to distinguish the humbleness and cautiousness mixed in it.

Lan Qi has always longed for forgiveness and redemption, but dared not ask him for it.It's because he hasn't done well enough, failed to make Lan Qi feel that he is loved, and failed to give him enough self-confidence to be favored and proud, so he cowardly retreated, afraid to tell him the hidden truth, afraid of being He hates it and is afraid of not being forgiven.

He couldn't refute Yu Wushuang's accusation at all.

The pain in his chest became more severe, he turned his head and coughed a few more times, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his lips again, dripped down his jaw and fell to the ground, splashing bright red flowers.

"Your Highness!"

Tong Xuan was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, but Ye Xuehuan still refused to allow him to come forward to help him, and only slowly said to Yu Wushuang: "I know what you want. Congratulations, your goal has been achieved. Now——return Lan'er to Yu Wushuang." I."

"I really don't know where he is." Yu Wushuang sighed, "But if you let me leave Yunshuiguan, I can give you some clues."

Ye Xuehuan glanced at her, and heard her laugh again: "I just want to find a quiet place where no one is around to wait for my death."

If she really wanted to leave, she didn't need Ye Xuehuanfang, she just wanted to make a statement.Ye Xuehuan didn't hesitate, and said flatly, "I'll let you go. Tell me."

"This incense ball, he must like it very much, right?" She glanced at the incense ball in Ye Xuehuan's hand, her smile deepened, "I should have carried it with me for a long time, and it has been dyed with fragrance, any hunting dog can do it." Tracked down. This hidden ability is useless."

A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Ye Xuehuan's eyes, and he turned around and told Tong Xuan, "Go find some hounds."

Tong Xuan didn't dare to delay, he responded and left the room, ordered a few Xuanfeng guards, and hurried back to the barracks to look for the hunting dog.

Ye Xuehuan and Yu Wushuang were the only two left in the room, and they were speechless for a while.Ye Xuehuan stared at the incense ball in his hand, while Yu Wushuang stared at him.

I don't know how long it took, but the already dark sky became more and more cloudy, and the muffled thunder came from afar, and it seemed that it was going to rain again.

Ye Xuehuan said, "Why don't you leave yet?"

Yu Wushuang smiled lightly, and pointed out the door, "I have to watch you pass this level before I can leave."

The thunder seemed to be getting closer.

Ye Xuehuan frowned.

This time he heard clearly that it was not thunder, but the sound of metal clashing and fighting.

The mother-in-law is going crazy...
