Chapter 460: Fake it for real
A hint of pain flashed across Shi Li's eyes. He held the sword and turned his head. Although he usually didn't like Ming Yue, this time, what Ming Yue did made him admire him a bit. Then For a moment, he almost didn't know how Mingyue mustered up the courage to take the initiative to hit Cao Rong's knife. So decisive and without hesitation. After all, they were old acquaintances who had been together for many years. Shi Li couldn't help but be confused. His eyes were red. He wiped the wet corners of his eyes, and without Xiao Tingyan's instructions, he quickly sent for Divine Doctor Lu to come over. But looking at Mingyue's situation, I'm afraid even if Divine Doctor Lu came, it wouldn't help. This knife, cut Too deep, too deep... Xiao Tingyan lowered his eyes and just looked at the blood on Mingyue's neck, which was flowing more and more... His eyes suddenly felt a sting. Mingyue's lips curved into a smile, and her eyes twinkled. There was a bright light. She didn't know where she was looking, so she just murmured in a low voice. "Brother Yan, the peach blossoms in the North should be in full bloom soon, right? I think... I want to go back to the North to see it. Dad... He must be waiting for me to go back. I have been out for too long this time, and he must be waiting impatiently."
"Dad, he is too lonely. Brother Yan, after you return to the Northland, make the decision to marry him a wife. Then let his new wife give him a child. I want... I want him to have a perfect life. Before. It was me who was ignorant and asked him to guard my mother all the time. Now, he is free... He doesn't have to guard anything for the dead."
"When you die, you are dead. There is nothing left. The most important thing is that the living people can live happily..." After Mingyue said these words, she died. Xiao Tingyan knelt there, holding her hand motionlessly. He looked at her body that was gradually getting cold. He suddenly remembered the first time he saw Mingyue. At that time, Mingyue was lying in swaddling clothes and was still a grinning baby. He was six or seven years old and had just encountered his father. The great change occurred when his mother and concubine died. Nanny Qin took him to escape from Kyoto and fled to the North with some guards. When Cheng Yan brought people to pick him up and brought him back to the North, he was silent for a long time. Anyone who spoke to him or communicated with him would keep his mouth shut and ignore anyone. For this reason, Nanny Qin secretly wiped her tears many times. Cheng Yan hugged the infant Mingyue and walked to him. In front of him, make him happy and let him open his heart. During that time, the light in his eyes can be said to be ignited by Mingyue. He has always treated her as a sister. He did have some affection for Mingyue. .However, her ignorance and wanton behavior gradually worsened their relationship. When Divine Doctor Lu arrived, Princess Mingyue’s body had already turned cold. He killed her Feeling his pulse, a hint of regret flashed through his eyes. "It's hopeless...the body is already cold."
Xiao Tingyan pushed Mingyue's body away and staggered up from the ground. "Send someone to build a coffin and escort Mingyue back to the Northland. When a person dies, she must return to her roots. She should be the one to return to her roots in the Northland." Place..." Shi Li wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes and nodded. Then, he asked people to carry Mingyue's body away. Xiao Tingyan asked everyone to step back, and he stood there by himself, not knowing what he was thinking. When Divine Doctor Lu saw his lonely figure, he sighed and opened his mouth to comfort him. Unexpectedly, before he could make a sound, Xiao Tingyan's voice came. "Divine Doctor Lu, I want to be quiet for a while."
Doctor Lu didn't say anything, packed up the medicine box, and retreated slowly. In fact, Xiao Tingyan didn't feel very sad about Mingyue's death... He was just worried that Uncle Cheng Yan, after learning about Mingyue's death, would Do you blame him for not protecting his only daughter? Cheng Yan has been loyal to him over the years. He has tried his best to support him, help him guard the North, and win the hearts of the people in the North. Yes. He said that if Cheng Yan hadn't been there at that time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to consolidate his power so smoothly in the North. Cheng Yan was indispensable for the prosperity and stability of the North. He never asked him for anything... Cheng Yanming Knowing Mingyue's thoughts about him, he would not force him. When leaving Beidi, Cheng Yan patted his shoulder and whispered: "Mingyue likes you, it is her own business. You must not Don't feel wronged because of me..." "My lord, your road is ahead. There is no need to delay your progress for some insignificant people."
When Xiao Tingyan thought of this, his heart felt very sour. He found a stone pier and sat down slowly. Suddenly, there was a slight movement not far away. Xiao Tingyan frowned and did not look back. He thought it was Dr. Lu. Don't worry about him, I came back to persuade him. He said impatiently: "Don't disturb me, okay?"
Yun Luan's footsteps paused there, and she didn't know whether she should move forward. Just after returning to Kyoto, she received news of Xiao Tingyan's assassination... and the death of Princess Mingyue. She was afraid that he would be injured. , so she rushed here non-stop, wanting to see Xiao Tingyan. Unexpectedly, when she hurried over, she saw everyone standing guard outside the temple. Doctor Lu said that the death of Princess Mingyue might have reminded him of Some of the past, those unbearable past. Yun Luan felt a little sorry for Xiao Tingyan inexplicably in her heart. She just stepped in, but she didn't expect that it would disturb Xiao Tingyan's purity... She pursed her lips and said softly: "The more exposed you are, the more exposed you will be." Don't sit there for so long, otherwise you will easily catch the cold. I'll wait for you outside..." After she said that, she turned around and left. When Xiao Tingyan heard this familiar voice, his body suddenly shook. He turned his head in disbelief. Looking towards the door, when he saw Yun Luan's back, he stood up suddenly and rushed over at an extremely fast speed. Before Yun Luan could react, he was hugged fiercely by Xiao Tingyan. "Why are you like this? Is it time to come back? I'm sorry, I thought it was Doctor Lu just now. I didn't expect it to be you..." He explained to her carefully, lest she would be angry. In fact, Yun Luan was not angry at all, and now she was held by him In his arms, she did not struggle. At this moment, it was as if the heart that had been empty for many days finally fell to the ground and finally settled down. She raised her hands and even took the initiative to hug his waist. Xiao Tingyan was not unaware of Yun Luan's movements. A lot of joy welled up in his heart. Is Aluan finally willing to accept him and respond to him? He was so excited that his eyes couldn't help but have a layer of mist. The two hugged for who knows how long before they finally After calming down the irritated mood between each other, Xiao Tingyan lowered his head, raised his hand, and gently stroked Yun Luan's eyebrows. "You seem to have lost weight these days? Why did you come back suddenly? I didn't receive any news at all."
Yun Luan held Xiao Tingyan's hand instead and smiled softly. "I deliberately didn't let Black Feather Guard inform you. I wanted to give you a surprise."
Xiao Tingyan's smiling eyes were filled with bright smiles. "It is indeed a surprise."
When he was in a low mood, she suddenly appeared in front of him. His mood suddenly jumped from hell to heaven. No one could understand this feeling. He only felt that now, the whole person was dizzy, as if He was dreaming. What made him feel like he was dreaming was still behind him. Yun Luan stood up on tiptoes slowly, staring at him with wet eyes. His outline was all in her pupils... She curled her lips Smiling lightly, he said word by word: "Xiao Tingyan, can you close your eyes?"
Xiao Tingyan was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of her words. Yun Luan raised his hand and covered his eyes with his palms. Xiao Tingyan passively closed his eyes, and then he felt Yun Luan's breath entering his body bit by bit. Nose. She was getting closer and closer to him. So close that her breath sprayed on his lips... The fluff on his lips was ruffled by her breath, and he felt itchy inexplicably. Before he could react, Yun Luan was What are you going to do? The next moment, those soft lips were pressed against his lips. Xiao Tingyan's head went blank, and everyone's perception was instantly shattered... A Luan actually took the initiative to kiss him. And this kiss was still gradually coming. Deepening. He passively tasted her sweet taste. Her movements were very clumsy, and when the tip of her tongue penetrated, she didn't know how to proceed. While she was hesitating, Xiao Tingyan couldn't help it anymore, and he hugged her tightly. He held Yun Luan's waist, changing from passive to active, and continued the deep kiss. This kiss was gentle and long, absorbing almost all of Yun Luan's strength. She was weak and boneless, leaning on his arms, and kept kissing Breathing heavily, she wanted to calm down her emotions. However, she couldn't calm down. In her heart, her whole heart felt like it was about to pop out. The feeling was exciting and addictive... She couldn't help but feel a little dazed. This is happiness. Right? Only two people who truly love each other can achieve this kind of extreme happiness and joy by doing intimate things with the same mind. She seemed to have never experienced this kind of happiness in her previous life. Xiao Tingyan hugged Yun Luan tightly, His palms gently stroked her soft hair. His heart was so soft. Everyone's mood was taken away by the kiss just now. At this moment, he was only happy. There was nothing more. He was a little unsure. After thinking for a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Aluan, are you willing to accept me?"
Hearing this, Yun Luan looked up at his handsome face. She had a solemn face and shook her head at him: "No..." Xiao Tingyan was startled, and he couldn't help but become nervous again. "I... I did something wrong. What?"
Yun Luan looked at his nervous look. She couldn't bear to tease him any more and couldn't help but chuckle. "Fool, I was teasing you."
"I just took the initiative to kiss you. You said, this doesn't count as accepting you. What else could it be?"
Xiao Tingyan breathed a sigh of relief, and his frown could not help but relax. The two talked for a while, and then Xiao Tingyan remembered the business. The smile that raised at the corner of his mouth couldn't help but shrink. He pressed his forehead against Yun Luan On his forehead, he whispered something. "I'm going to Ningyuan Temple... there are some things I must find out."
Yun Luan didn't know that he had been investigating the death of the late emperor and his mother and concubine for these years. Her eyes were full of doubts: "Why did you go to Ningyuan Temple? Isn't that where the current Queen Mother lives?"
"Is the interception you encountered tonight related to your going to Ningyuan Temple?"
Xiao Tingyan nodded noncommittally. He didn't hide anything from Yun Luan. He told Yun Luan all the things he found out, including the letter that the man in black gave him in this temple. Yun Luan Luan's eyes were full of surprise. She read the letter in full shock. Then, her eyes turned red and she hugged Xiao Tingyan tightly. "The current emperor is really hateful. I don't Come to think of it, he actually used such despicable means to get on the throne. If he hadn't harmed the late emperor and Concubine Chen, maybe the throne of the Southern Crown Prince would be yours..." A flash of light flashed through Xiao Tingyan's eyes. Bloodthirsty Anmang: "I don't care about the throne or not. What I care about is that I can't let my father and mother and concubine die tragically..." "I have endured the humiliation and burden over the years and have been searching for the truth...I will definitely turn this day into reality." The true face of the emperor must be revealed to the public. A despicable and shameless person like him does not deserve to be the emperor of Nanchu, let alone be respected by future generations and from generation to generation."
"I want to tear off all the masks he has disguised for many years...I want his crimes and his ugliness to be exposed to the world."
Yun Luan held Xiao Tingyan's hand distressedly. "Whatever you want to do, just do it, I will support you. I will accompany you to Ningyuan Temple..." Unexpectedly, Xiao Tingyan slowly shook his head: "I will take the people myself. Just go, but now that the emperor has broken the relationship with me, he will not hesitate to send the Dragon Guard to assassinate me."
"The most dangerous people now are the people in the General's Mansion. You quickly take people back and protect the people in the General's Mansion first... After I go to Ningyuan Temple and all the truth is revealed, we don't need to hold back anymore. I want to In the Jinluan Palace, in front of the people of the world, his crimes will be made public..." Yun Luan also thought that now is indeed a critical moment. The emperor has murderous intentions towards Xiao Tingyan. If the assassination was not successful this time, he will definitely continue The assassination of Xiao Tingyan. In the past, everything was turbulent in the dark, but now everyone's affairs seem to be in the open. Their general's palace and Xiao Tingyan will both suffer losses, and both will be prosperous. In order to deal with Xiao Tingyan, the emperor will attack their general's palace. Yun Luan did not hesitate any longer and nodded at Xiao Tingyan. "You have to be careful... The emperor now wants to kill you... You are more dangerous than anyone else."
Xiao Tingyan pinched the back of her hand: "Don't worry, I have made all preparations. The Emperor... won't be able to jump around for long."
He smiled mysteriously. Yun Luan looked at it and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Are you planning something secretly?"
"I can't tell you now. In two days, you will understand."
Xiao Tingyan could not help but give up. Yun Luan heard that he was so confident, so she was not so worried. She personally sent Xiao Tingyan to the carriage and rushed to Ningyuan Temple. Just in case, Divine Doctor Lu also chose to follow. Divine Doctor Lu looked at them The two movements were extremely intimate, and they looked into each other's eyes, almost touching each other... He couldn't help it, and folded his arms in joy. Shi Li didn't understand, so he asked seductively: "Mr. Lu, you are just giggling all by yourself. what?"
Doctor Lu smiled mysteriously. He raised his chin and motioned to Shi Li to look at the two people not far away who were still reluctant to leave and told each other. "Don't you think that the prince and the county master are quite similar? , is the feeling of saying goodbye better than the feeling of newlyweds? I always feel that there seems to be something different between them..." "In the past, it was the prince who took the initiative, and the prince shaved his head and chose his wife, but now. Hehe, the county princess also took the initiative to be warm to the prince. Get up. This is a good thing, a good thing."
His prince finally came to the end of his hardships. Yun Luan finally saw the prince's sincerity, and finally accepted him, and made a fake show with him. In the heart of Divine Doctor Lu, it was so wonderful. How could he know that Shi Li was stupid enough to come here? He finished: "Why do I see...the county lord is still treating the prince the same as before?"
