In this life, I will drink the long wind

.

"Axu, put your hands down."

Yan Xu said innocently: "If I say no, are you going to kill me, uncle?"

Ning Yongxin shook his head: "I will personally take you down this time, just to hope that His Majesty will see the last sliver of friendship between me and my little sister, save your life, and let you go."

Yan Xu sneered: "That really wronged you."

Shen Qian frowned, stepped forward and said: "The overall situation has been settled, Your Highness, please stop."

Yan Xu turned to look at Shen Qian, and his eyes became sharper.

"You were like this back then, you betrayed your brother?"

Shen Qian was shocked when he heard the words, and said helplessly: "Many times, it is fate that determines life, and it is God's will."

Yan Xu smiled and looked at Shen Qian, exuding a ruthless aura all over his body.

"If God's will really exists, it will be worthwhile to fight against it."

When Shen Qian heard this, he stared at Yan Xu, his scalp numb.Once, his eldest brother said the same words to him with such eyes.

"The power of a single person is too small after all, how can he compete with the sky?" Shen Qian shook his head, looking at Yan Xu's face, he couldn't help showing a look of pity, "You can't take down His Highness today, I The reason why your uncle chose to come forward in person is because he hopes that you can be captured without any resistance."

Yan Xu was angry, and Yan Xu was equally distressed: "You have no right to stop me."

The moon is sinking, and the dawn is approaching.

Ning Yongxin looked at Yan Xu, finally sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty, please."

The battle in the imperial city had just come to an end, and only a few battles were left on the ground, and the flames of war were burning.

The Shadow Guards are taking care of the wounded and the dead.

In Yi'an Hall, Yan Xu faced Emperor Qi alone.

"Use Qin Xiangjun to inform Yan Chen, let Chen'er prepare, and order Fang Xiao to dispatch in advance to control all your chips on the bright side, that is, the power of King Ning you absorbed, and monitor the imperial city. In fact, Fang Xiao It's your people. In this way, it is equivalent to your troops controlling the imperial city, but Ah Xun still has the black eagle in his hand. The elite soldiers are fighting, and the black eagle looks down upon them. So you send people to blow up the Baihua Building, and the fireworks festival will be held. Today, I remember that it was also the election of the oiran of Baihualou. There are a lot of talents in the building. It is impossible for Chen'er to let it go. The imperial guards can't do anything because of you, so only Xuanying will come out. This move is really amazing. It's hard to see the flaws, it's wonderful." Emperor Qi sat, looked at Yan Xu, and explained his calculations one by one, feeling very moved.

"But you can still see it, too. Leading troops in front of you is tantamount to wielding a sword in front of Guan Gong. In your eyes, who is invulnerable? I thought that after I put it to death, I would get a turn for the better. Long black hair covered most of his face, Yan Xu's eyelids were closed, his long eyebrows were slanted, and blood shot out from his hair, and blood dripped down his sleeves, "But in the end, I still didn't have a chance."

"Do you know where you lost?" Emperor Qi's tone was very flat, without questioning or blaming, he just looked at Yan Xu quietly and asked quietly.

"Losing? Did I lose? There are so many unavoidable things in life, such as life and death, such as love, and doing my best for what my heart wants. In the end, I was indeed defeated, but I I didn't lose, father." Yan Xu said the following words very emphatically and slowly.

Emperor Qi shook his head sadly: "You have not regretted your mistake so far?"

repent?Ha, Yan Xu laughed in his heart, how could he not regret it?But how can he regret it, he can't look back, he has nothing, no father and no brother, if he let go of this obsession, then he really has nothing.

"Successful and defeated, I have nothing to say, at least I have worked hard for what I want, and I don't regret it." After a pause, Yan Xu continued, "Never!"

Emperor Qi: "If you don't have enough ability, the so-called pursuit is just empty talk. What's more, what you want can't be obtained with reliable ability. If it doesn't belong to you, it doesn't belong to you after all."

Yan Xu looked at Emperor Qi's ravine and deep face, his heart kept falling, and finally disappeared in the sea of ​​clouds, mountains and mist.

"So you already know." Yan Xu lowered his eyes slowly and asked, "Did Yao Xun tell you?"

Emperor Qi nodded: "A Xun, he hopes that you will find your way back."

As soon as he heard this, Yan Xu's eyes suddenly gathered hostility, murderous aura flourished.

"Let me know my way back? Why does Yao Lingyun want me to know my way back? Why can he do it but I can't?"

Emperor Qi's demeanor remained unchanged, his brows and eyes were resolute, and his words were resounding: "Because you are brothers!"

"We're not!" The hard-to-face reality stirred up those uncontrollable emotions in Yan Xu's heart, and the four words that came out in anger were both catharsis and grief.

"Yan Xu, do you know what you are talking about?"

"My concubine has already told me everything, and you still want to hide it from me?"

"In my eyes, you have always been my son"

"You don't need to be hypocritical anymore!" Yan Xu was angry!

Lost, lost forever, and he needs no mercy.

"Fake! Everything is false. I am not your son at all, and you never regarded me as your son, so Yan Yu was defeated, and you canonized Yan Chen as the crown prince. You never thought You want to pass the throne to me because I'm not your son."

Yan Zhan got up, approached Yan Xu with strides, raised his hand and slapped him.

"Am I wrong?" Yan Xu yelled back even louder, "If you hadn't guarded against me, how could I lose this last move? The game I set up is almost perfect, and the only flaw is Fang Xiao. He You used to be Shen Chong's general, you know this, so you know that I found him, so you can predict the situation first, and you are guarding against me."

Emperor Qi didn't hide it, and said directly: "I don't deny this point. I have been prepared since you planned to plot against Yu'er. It is impossible for a person to change suddenly, unless there is a major change in him."

Yan Xu was startled, and said with a smirk, "You think I know everything?"

"You do know, too."

"That was told by my mother a few months ago."

Emperor Qi was silent: "So you competed for the throne and plotted against Yu'er just because of Chen'er?"

Yan Xu: "Yes, what I want, I will do everything to get it."

"That's why I don't want to hand over the throne to you."

Yan Xu looked at Emperor Qi, his eyes were frighteningly bright in the night.

Emperor Qi turned a blind eye and said: "You can bear it but you don't want to, and you only do things according to your own preferences. How can you be so indulgent and willful?"

"There are no rules, no rules, no matter where you sit in the hall, you must abide by the law."

"I canonized Chen'er as the prince because he was able to take on the great responsibility. I didn't give you a chance because you didn't have the consciousness to become an emperor. Only a king who understands that the people are the most precious is the king of our world, and you haven't yet. This realization."

"Excuse! This is just an excuse to talk about crowning. You just want to pass the throne to your heir. I won't be deceived by you anymore. Don't try to deceive me..." Yan Xu's initial reaction was very intense, but he said As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he kept his face away under Emperor Qi's gaze.

Yan Xu hates the way Yan Zhan looks at him now, he just looks at him like this, obviously without any expression, but Yan Xu sees the sadness in his eyes.

A few words, words that hurt others and hurt oneself, slipped around on the tip of Yan Xu's tongue, but in the end he still couldn't break free from the cage of his teeth.

A cage built in the name of love is the strongest cage in the world, because what it destroys is the imprisoned body and mind.

He has always been his favorite child.

For the past 20 years, how can he ignore the kindness he has treated him?

The expression on Emperor Qi's face did not change, but his voice was as deep as the deep night sky, containing unimaginable majesty.

"Axu, as much ability as a person has, he should shoulder as much responsibility, and responsibility means giving. You are capable but you are born not knowing how to give, so whether it is me, your mother, your uncle, or even your elder brother and second brother , all of us hope that you can grow up carefree under our wings, no matter what our reasons for doing this are, at least for your own good this is the same."

"If the person who decides the fate of the world walks on the wrong track, what he loses is the teaching of the original intention, what he destroys is the foundation of a thousand years, what he owes is the world, and the Daxiang court, other people can choose the wrong way and believe in the wrong way. People, only the emperor can't."

Listening to Emperor Qi's words, Yan Xu laughed, and then suddenly started coughing. The hoarse cough echoed in the room, and it took a long time before it stopped. Yan Xu said a little tiredly: "Do you want to educate me? Father? But what's the point of saying these things now? The period when the flowers fall will never return to the tree, and the waves of the passing water will never return to the source. At this point, we can't go back."

A moment of silence.

After a long time, Emperor Qi sighed: "Forget it, come in."

Ning Yongxin pushed the door and entered.

"Escorted back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, from now on, Prince Yan Xu will never be allowed to step out of the mansion without a handbook from the Great Hall."

"No." Ning Yongxin looked at Yan Xu, signaling with his eyes that he didn't want to do anything to him.

"You don't need to be escorted, since you have already suffered a crushing defeat, even if you leave, I will go back by myself." After speaking, Yan Xu walked out.

Ning Yongxin gave a big salute to Emperor Qi, and then followed.

After stepping out of the gate, Yan Xu's straight back suddenly bent down, his feet were sluggish, his steps were vain, his arrogant arrogance was gone, and there was only a slow and hunchback figure left.

☆, trust

The morning light is faint, and a touch of bright white slowly rises from the eastern horizon.

The residence of the Four Princes.

It is completely different from the crowded scene in the past. Right now, the gate of the Imperial Palace is closed, only two fiery red lanterns are shaking in the wind, exuding a somewhat bleak atmosphere.

There is not much difference between the mansion and the outside of the mansion, they are all the same empty.It was deep and quiet, and there were few people walking around in the huge mansion, and there was no hustle and bustle in the past.

Yan Xu sat alone in the silence. He hadn't experienced this kind of silence for too long. This boundless silence unexpectedly brought him a little sense of peace, as if nothing had happened yet, and he was still the one who didn't know anything. For the fourth prince who doesn't know, everything is unresolved, unresolved, and has no conclusion.

But such peace of mind is only an illusion after all.After he came back to his senses, the loneliness had eroded his whole body, but he was unwilling to resist, allowing this increasingly deep loneliness to embrace him.

Recently, Yan Xu often thinks, when all the attachments are gone, and there is nothing to look at, then what else in this world is worth being attached to?

He hasn't figured it out yet.

But at this moment, he received an imperial edict.

It's a restraining order.

The fourth prince Yan Xu, from now on, is not allowed to step out of the mansion, once he steps out, he will be killed on the spot.

Of course not only that, he cannot go out, and outsiders are not allowed to enter to see him without the Crown Prince's permission.

Prince, yes, Yan Chen is already a prince.

They accept the worship of the people of the world outside, but they themselves take root and fester in this world.

At this moment, Yan Xu, who had lost his goal, suddenly found a new goal.

But he still did nothing.

In the next few days, he allowed himself to linger even more deeply in this boundless loneliness.

Wandering in the discolored past, this kind of loneliness that only one is left in the world, how can it not make people collapse and go crazy?

Every day he stays longer, the sense of vicissitudes in Yan Xu's body will increase, and his loneliness will also increase. One day, he will be devoured by this endless loneliness.

Fangfei Palace and Zuoxiang Mansion had received permission to send people to visit several times, and all they saw was Yan Xu who was about to collapse.

Just when everyone was worried about him, Yan Xu made a move.

He sent Yu Qingyuan out to Fangfei Palace and Zuoxiang Mansion, and brought his confession and begging to his mother, concubine and uncle for him, begging them to intercede with the crown prince, spare his life, and return him. free.

Because he is afraid of death, afraid of being alone.

Suddenly, the sound of extraordinarily clear footsteps broke the silence in front of him.

It was Yu Qingyuan who rushed in from outside the house with a letter: "Your Highness, this is the letter that Prime Minister Zuo asked me to bring to you."

Without raising her head, Yan Xu said, "Open and watch."

"Here." Yu Qingyuan opened the envelope, and after reading it all the way, he couldn't help being overjoyed, "Master Zuo said that he and the empress have obtained grace, and you will be fine, Your Highness. After a few years, wait a few more years, Now that the situation is stable, it will be fine for you to go out of the house at that time."

Yan Xu hummed in a low voice.

"Your Highness, you..." Yu Qingyuan was surprised. For His Highness today, this is great news, but the other party doesn't seem to be happy at all.

Annoyed, disgusted, dazed, Yan Xu's tone was subtly nervous due to the stacking of various emotions, he said: "Are you happy?"

The morning light fell on his face, and the morning breeze swayed his clothes. He was indescribably calm and calm, but when he looked closely, his eyes were lifeless and lifeless.

"Your Highness, didn't you tell me to talk to the empress and the left minister before, so that they must go to the hall to intercede for you?"

Yu Qingyuan was puzzled, he didn't understand the little prince in front of him more and more, especially since he was imprisoned, he became moody and temperamental.

Yan Xu's slender and beautiful fingers tapped the table rhythmlessly. The black and blue ebony table, white and slender fingers reflected together, and it was shocking to glance casually.

It was indeed he who asked Yu Qingyuan to go to his concubine mother and uncle, and asked them to go to his elder brother to intercede, but that was just a weight he put on Yan Chen.

What he did was never his own life, death and freedom.

For him, some things are more important than life and death, than freedom.

In just a few short months, those regrets, those hatreds, and the grievances and sorrows that could not be conveyed became heavier and heavier as time passed. become.

Yan Xu raised his eyes and looked at Yu Qingyuan, with a smile in his eyes, but colder than the moon, colder than the frost sword.

Yu Qingyuan shuddered when he saw it, but he couldn't turn his eyes away, he was locked on by his eyes, he couldn't avoid it, covering his whole body, it was an aura close to death.

Yan Xu said: "Qing Yuan, I don't want to live anymore."

Sure enough.

The four words popped up immediately when Yu Qingyuan heard the words, so that Qingyuan didn't realize it for a moment. After a while, he widened his eyes: "Your Highness, what nonsense are you talking about? Empress and Prime Minister Zuo will not let you live for the rest of your life." Forbidden, they will try to get you out."

"And then? What about after going out?"

The morning mist has not dissipated yet, and a round of red sun in the sky looks like a drop of cinnabar falling on the gauze. It warmed up a little, but still couldn't hide the dead air emanating from inside.

"They will not let me go out until they are sure that the situation is really stable. When I come out again, the overall situation has been settled and there is no way to recover."

Yu Qingyuan was silent for a long time, and he said: "Your Highness, why can't you live a good life according to the expectations of the imperial concubine?"

Yan Xu twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, and asked back: "Do you still remember why you followed me?"

Why did I go with him when I was hungry and cold in the snow that year?

Because he was not reconciled, he was not reconciled to just doing nothing for the rest of his life, he was not reconciled to seeing his half-brother stepping on his head to live a peaceful life, he was not reconciled to his mother dying silently like this, he wanted to To impress that group of people, he wants to make his parents share the same cave after death.

All of this was achieved by following the person in front of me.

Seeing Yu Qingyuan's suddenly changed face, Yan Xu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Because I long for the sun, but there is a dark feeling hidden in my heart, which means that I will never be able to follow my mother and concubine in this life." will live.”

Yu Qingyuan opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. At this moment, Yu Qingyuan seemed to see the changing situation in Yan Xu's eyes. In a moment, he knew that his persuasion was useless.

"But before I die, I have to do one more thing."

Yu Qingyuan felt that Yan Xu's slowly falling eyes moved to his body again, and he also looked at Yan Xu, looking at the deep and deep eyes that seemed to drag everything into hell together.

This is the child he watched grow up, Yu Qingyuan regards it as his own, but now his child has become like this.

Yu Qingyuan knew that he couldn't refuse, he had to fulfill it.

He lowered his eyes, bowed and asked, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Yan Xu handed out a piece of jade pendant and a letter: "Go to Wanghualou, find Murong Huai, and then hand this letter to him, and he will give you what I want."

Yu Qingyuan said: "It is said that Mr. Murong left the capital for Saibei a few months ago, and he is not in the Eastern Capital right now."

"You just go. Give this jade pendant to the shopkeeper, and someone will take you to see him."

"promise."

Yu Qingyuan nodded in response, but did not leave. After deliberating for a while, he asked: "Murong Huai, can this person still be trusted?"

Hearing this, Yan Xu was startled for a moment, then his expression suddenly brightened, even his eyes lit up.

"Yes, of course."

Yan Xu is not a fool, not only is he not a fool, he is also a smart person who is rarely seen in a hundred years. For a person like him, he can naturally see Murong Huai's thoughts on him.If the other party didn't mention it, he didn't point it out. They just tacitly maintained the appearance of tranquility.

Because they are the same kind of people, and for their kind, exploitation itself is an emotion that involves trust.

Because everything to be done is too dangerous, so using it is also equivalent to entrusting all of one's wealth and life.

Murong Huai endowed him with true love, and what he gave back to Murong Huai was his wholehearted trust. If this is the case, isn't it considered that he has exchanged his sincerity for a heart?

Seeing that he was so determined, Yu Qingyuan didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

But Yu Qingyuan, who had walked a few steps, suddenly stopped and turned around, and asked again: "Aren't you afraid that I will betray you, Your Highness?"

"You won't. If we become friends, people will inevitably understand each other and become alike. You won't betray me, just like I won't betray you."

"We're friends?"

"Of course we are friends." Yan Xu sighed, "Besides, besides you, I don't have anyone else I can trust. What if you really betrayed me? It's just a life."

Yu Qingyuan smiled: "I will not betray you, we have been a community of life since that snowy night."

After Yu Qingyuan left, the room returned to silence.

At Yan Xu's age, when he was in a good youth, what he hated most in his life was loneliness, but Yan Xu often associates with loneliness.

There is something in his heart, but others and things cannot be seen. With such a temperament, it is natural to be lonely. He is still very young, but there is already frost and snow in his eyes.

The surrounding area was very quiet where no one spoke, only the howling wind was blowing the trees outside the house, making a creepy sound.

As the early sun rises gradually, the orange-red sky gradually loses its strong color, and the sky is bright, making Yan Xu's sight even quieter.Because of the loss of power, the few servants who were originally there also became slack. There were many weeds on the edge of the steps but no one removed them, and some of the leaves drooped due to the sudden change of weather.

Yan Xu is not reconciled, he has already suffered a crushing defeat, and what he got in the end is the humble life that came from this prayer, how could he be reconciled.

The authorities have exhausted their calculations, and they have fallen short.

Since you don't want to love me, why don't you keep me? If you don't want to hate me, why don't you kill me? Whether Yan Chen loves or hates him, he shouldn't be alive. He can't bear Yan Chen being so peaceful Treat yourself quietly, as if he is just one of his thousands of people.

"Big brother, big brother, I won't allow you to treat me so casually."

Yan Xu murmured to himself, his voice was very low, with a sweet feeling similar to a lover's whisper, but also very gloomy, like an evil ghost climbing up from hell.

☆, end

"Young master has your letter."

In the right minister's mansion, Yao Lingyun took the letter and opened it, momentarily stunned.

After pondering for a long time, he said: "Get ready, I'm going out of the house."

"Yes."

When Yao Lingyun stepped out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sky was flooded with mist, and the rain started to fall unconsciously.

Originating from a few dark clouds, after a thunderclap, the curtain was torn from the sky, white light appeared on the horizon, and the vast rain covered the sight in an instant.

The heavy rain came suddenly and was caught off guard.

Heavy rain.

Drop by drop, as if to wash away all the sins and injustices in this world one by one.

Seeing the heavy rain, Yao Lingyun suddenly planned to go on foot. He left the sedan chair, took the oil-paper umbrella handed to him by the servant, stretched it out with his hands, and walked into the rain alone.

The umbrella, not too big or too small, just happened to be able to cover only one person. The rain was so heavy that Yao Lingyun was surrounded by an unbreakable rain curtain.Suddenly the wind blew up, and the rain and mist flying obliquely hit his face immediately, wetting Yao Lingyun's clothes and eyelashes. In fact, such an umbrella could not block anything at all, but he didn't care, and continued to walk in the rain.

Walking through the long street and turning a few turns, Yao Lingyun came to a mansion.

Stand still and look up.

The vermilion gate is half-closed, the plaque in front of the gate is still magnificent, two red gauze lanterns are hung high on the gate, the stone lions on both sides of the gate are majestic and majestic, and the words "Four Princes' House" are inscribed by the imperial pen on the plaque It also shows the incomparable honor and favor of its owner.

The rain suddenly has a tendency to gradually decrease.

Yao Lingyun's eyes moved down slowly, and fell on Yu Qingyuan standing in front of the door.

Yu Qingyuan bowed and said, "My lord, please come inside."

After Yao Lingyun heard this, after a brief hesitation, he started to move forward and entered the mansion with others.

The fourth prince's mansion looked lifeless on the outside, but it was even more bleak after entering. Yao Lingyun walked all the way, and he didn't even see a single servant who was watching the night. There were only a few lanterns hanging on the corridor. Shaking in the night wind and rain.

There is a pavilion in the Xiaoxiao rain.

Perhaps to keep out the rain, there are gauze curtains around the pavilion, and a person is vaguely reflected inside.

Under Yu Qingyuan's signal, Yao Lingyun walked slowly towards the pavilion.

Suddenly the wind blew up, and a corner of the gauze curtain was lifted, and the clear wine fragrance mixed with sandalwood penetrated the sparse rain curtain and floated into Yao Lingyun's nasal cavity.

The young man in the pavilion was dressed in snow satin, his white fingertips stretched out from the sleeves, and they were three points more lustrous than the color of the clothes. Add charcoal to the stove.

Green plum clay stove, red sandalwood aromatherapy, cooking wine and listening to the rain, the meaning of elegance suddenly emerges.

The breeze kept blowing, lifted the curtain and fluttered, Yan Xu raised his eyes, and with the dim lights around him, he could meet Yao Lingyun's sight.

Immediately he laughed, the steaming mist blurred his face, and even the look in his eyes seemed to be a little more tender and tender, the soft light in his eyes disappeared the desolation of the night rain, and the voice he spoke was even more gentle Ruyu: "You really dare to come here, are you not afraid that I have arranged people around to assassinate you?"

Yao Lingyun strode forward, opened the gauze curtain and entered, put away the umbrella and put it aside, sat down opposite Yan Xu, and said firmly, "You won't."

"Oh?" Yan Xu played with the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, raised his eyebrows, his clean and delicate face gave off a harmless feeling.

Although the other party was very calm, Yao Lingyun knew that Yan Xu's heart was not calm.

Sure enough, after a while, seeing that Yao Lingyun hadn't spoken, Yan Xu asked again: "I would like to hear more about it."

Yao Lingyun didn't intend to test the other party anymore, and said directly: "Those King Ning's forces that you win over are aliens after all, and you must not fully trust them, so I believe you will not let these people follow you here."

Yan Xu blinked, his eyelashes fluttered up and down as he opened and closed his eyes, the expression on his face didn't change at all, and he said casually: "Continue."

For things like a showdown, if one party is not in a hurry, then the other party should not be in a hurry, nor should it be in a hurry.

Yao Lingyun slowed down his speaking speed, and said slowly: "Because of the relationship between interests, each other will be on guard against each other, and besides, King Ning's Xuanying is all under my hands now, this is the end of the conversation, I don't think it is necessary to continue Continue to analyze."

Yan Xu took a long breath and sighed: "Yao Xun, Yao Xun, there is already me in this world, but why do you still have you?"

"Your Highness, you and I are completely different and cannot be used for comparison." After a pause, Yao Lingyun continued, "Ah Chen has always believed that you were just lost for a while, and he is willing to wait for you to turn around."

Yan Xu's originally indifferent face had a slight ripple: "It's hard to look back on the past. Looking back, it's tantamount to letting go of all the attachments in the past. It's a denial of what I have done in my life."

Yao Lingyun: "Even if you go on this road, you will have nothing?"

Yan Xu didn't answer but instead asked: "Throughout the ages, there have been countless poems and works, and there are as many famous aphorisms as yaks. Do you know which one I don't like the most?"

Yao Lingyun was puzzled, but still asked, "Which sentence?"

"The spring is dry, and the fish are on the land. Wet each other, and the foam is like forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes." The smile lines on the corners of Yan Xu's mouth deepened, and there was an inexplicable sense of madness in his words, "If I were that fish , Even if you die, don't forget each other."

Yao Lingyun couldn't help shaking his head: "Why are you so persistent."

"If a person does not have this stubbornness in his life, how boring it will be."

"Your layout is just a bet on his intolerance of you."

"Yes, what I rely on is his intolerance towards me. If it wasn't for his tolerance, how could I succeed?" Yan Xu said with a smile, sarcasm, and disdain. I've already succeeded, what's the use of you by his side? You can't influence him at all, and you can't change him, the best talent in the world, heh, what a joke!"

The wind blew, and the gauze curtain rolled up.

After a while of silence, Yao Lingyun said: "Yangying, when His Majesty decided to make the crown prince, it was handed over to Ah Chen."

With a low sigh, Yao Lingyun's tone of voice was particularly gentle, like the spring breeze in March, even with a touch of water, falling into Yan Xu's ears, but the smile at the corner of his mouth froze on his face .

"What did you say?"

The rain stopped.

The rustling sound stopped, and there was silence all around.

Yao Lingyun didn't speak either, not because he couldn't bear to break the silence, but because of Yan Xu's eyes.He had never seen such a sad look in his life, so desperate that just looking at it felt like his heart was being pierced.

After a long while, Yan Xu said, "So you guys already knew about Fang Xiao's betrayal?"

Yao Lingyun shook his head: "I didn't know about it, but I just made corresponding precautions. After the incident with the Second Highness, I made an agreement with him not to arrange any more situations where there is no way out."

"So it's like this, ha." Yan Xu smiled chokingly.

"As you said, integrate the rebels and wipe them out."

"The Baihualou?"

"Before the explosion, Aunt Lian invited the people in the building outside to watch the fireworks. Even though Murong Huai has the ability to control the world, we should arrange it silently when we are already on guard against him. It is also impossible to blow up a Baihua Building by hand."

"You obviously knew about it long ago, but you followed the trend, so all of this is in your calculations."

"Raising tigers is a problem after all. The reason why we are not afraid of wolves is because there are still hunters in the dark." Yao Lingyun stared at Yan Xu and said, "After this battle, all those who harbored evil intentions in the court will be pulled out."

The brief answer fell, and outside the pavilion, a dead leaf fell with the wind at the same time, stirring up tiny water marks in the puddles on the ground.

The moon rises.

The full moon is in the sky, shining on the world, how many grievances and enmities are under the moonlight, whispering a mourning.

Yan Xu's chilling shadow melted under the moonlight.

With the illness gone and the carrion removed, the future Daxiang Dynasty Hall will have a completely new look.

"Ha, so it turns out." A low sigh was accompanied by a sarcastic laugh, but Yan Xu didn't say anything more.

Yan Xu has nothing to say, but it's not because of lack of words, but because the person in front of him is Yao Lingyun, not Yan Chen.

He had nothing to say to Yao Lingyun.

Yao Lingyun stared at Yan Xu, the other's exquisite eyebrows and eyes were illuminated by the light and moonlight, with an almost transparent beauty.

Sensing his gaze, Yan Xu squinted sideways, his long and curled eye ends were drawn down, he no longer raised aggressively, his anger gradually faded away, he stretched out a hand as pale as ice, and lifted the jug in front of him, Shake it, put it down again, and let it continue to burn.

"We've known each other for so long, I wish I'd never bought you a drink."

Yao Lingyun looked down at the wine burning on the small red clay stove, but said nothing.

Yan Xu smiled and said, "What? Are you afraid that I will poison you?"

There is a kind of person in this world, every word he says has a deep meaning, Yan Xu is this kind of person.

There is another kind of person in this world, he can see the meaning from other people's movements, it just so happens that Yao Lingyun is such a person.

Yao Lingyun didn't want to entangle with him any more, and said directly: "What on earth do you want? You specially sent someone to invite me over, is it just to invite me to drink?"

"Of course not." Yan Xu turned his face like flipping through a book, "Please come here, of course it is to tear your body into pieces."

"Things are now, why can't you let go of the past and live a good life again? If you are so obsessed with obsession, it will only chill his heart and push him away step by step."

"Did you know?" Yan Xu said slowly, he could even hear the endless bitterness in his voice, "Actually, I'm not his younger brother, I don't have the slightest blood relationship with him."

Yao Lingyun was stunned when he heard the words, the past information was quickly organized in his mind, Yan Chen hesitated to speak several times, and he asked himself not to ask the truth countless times.

It turned out that what he was hiding was this matter.

"I'm not his little brother, he doesn't have to take care of me anymore, no, he knows it all the time, so he doesn't care about me at all." Yan Xu smiled shyly, and said again, "He doesn't care about me at all, he is willing to give Yan Yu has a chance, but he will count on me."

In the end, Yan Xu's voice became softer and softer, but the emotion contained in it was even more uncompromising than that of Du Juan crying blood, and Yao Lingyun couldn't help but be shocked by it.

"It's not like this Your Highness. He will also be hurt and sad. You can't think that he is calm just because he didn't show it."

Yan Xu looked at Yao Lingyun blankly.

Yao Lingyun's eyes were firm and stern, in stark contrast to Yan Xu's dazed expression.

"For the person he loves, he has always had sincere and long-lasting feelings, but he seldom expresses them. You can't assume that he has not been hurt just because he is calm."

Yan Xu's gaze began to diverge, his soul seemed to be separated from reality following Yao Lingyun's words, everything in front of him disappeared for a short time, he was caught off guard and dragged into the turbulent flow of time, following irresistibly Looking back, he suddenly remembered those things that happened a long time ago.

It was clearly something that happened when I was young, but it was so clear as if it happened yesterday, every detail of it was vivid, Yan Chen hugged him, blocking all the cold wind and heat from his unfit body Besides, she smiled at him lightly, so bright and so warm, it made him feel extremely warm even in such a dangerous situation.

Since then, there has been a dark desire in his heart.

After the incense was exhausted, there was no more white mist coming out of the incense burner.

The elegant fragrance dissipated with the breeze in less than half a moment.

At this time, Yan Xu raised his hand again, lifted the jug, and shook it, but this time he didn't put it down, but started to pour the wine.

After a pot of wine is boiled and evaporated, there is only this one glass left, which is just [-]% full.

All the wine fell into the glass, Yan Xu put down the wine pot in his hand, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth, a faint blush appeared on his pale face, with a gentle smile on his face, he opened and closed his mouth lightly, spitting out the sound of thunder Word.

"I'm moved by your words, but your poison has entered my lungs."

Before Yan Xu spoke, Yao Lingyun felt unwell,

The severe pain and strong dizziness that he was not prepared for suddenly came, making him shaky, and he couldn't suppress the groaning,
