As night falls, the luxurious palace elegantly shows its dazzling side.
At twelve o'clock in the night, Xia Xue was still leaning on the sofa reading a book. However, her eyes had been fixed on this page for almost two hours, and she had not turned over the page. She could not read a word at all, and she kept waiting.
The arrival of Longyi.
If there are no accidents, Yi should come over tonight to explore the secret passage, but why haven't he been seen yet?
Looking at the clock on the wall, Xia Xue frowned slightly. Could it be that something happened to Yi?
"No need to wait any longer, Long Yi won't come." Lan Xing Qingyue's voice came from behind, with a hint of coldness.
Xia Xue looked back at Lan Xing. She still looked like the original middle-aged woman. If she could really disguise herself, then her disguise skills were surprisingly good. There would be no flaws. If it weren't for this special pair of
With his eyes, Xia Xue would not notice anything strange at all.
After a few seconds of silence, Xia Xue asked softly: "What do you know?"
"The Criminal Department transferred a team of elite soldiers from the army to Weitian Fort. If I guessed correctly, they should be transferred to guard Longyi." Lanxing came down from the secret passage with some pastries, placed them on the coffee table, and poured them down again.
After two cups of hot coffee, he sat elegantly on the sofa opposite Xia Xue.
"You are really capable, and you can actually find out the secrets of the Criminal Department." Xia Xue's delicate lips curved slightly, staring at Lan Xing deeply, "You don't look like an ordinary person.
Being able to directly address Yi by his name means that your status is not humble. Who are you?"
"You don't need to know this." Lan Xing smiled slightly, sipped the coffee elegantly, lowered his eyes, and said doubtfully, "Actually, what do you like about Long Yi? You have a noble status and a huge wealth, but you are so determined to live in the world.
You are waiting for a heavy prisoner, what is it that gives you such courage?"
"Love." Xia Xue answered simply and affirmatively, "Have you ever loved?"
"Ha." Lan Xing smiled coldly, with a melancholic light shining in his eyes, and his expression became slightly sad, "Love is the most terrible cancer in the world. It specially grows on the human heart. Once it entangles you, you will be in trouble for life.
controlled by it."
"Why are you so pessimistic about love? Have you ever been hurt by someone you loved deeply?" Xia Xue raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"I have never been in love, and I will not let this cancer grow in my heart." Blue Star's eyes were very firm, and in a flash, he said sadly, "It's just that my parents died because of love.
Therefore, I hate love."
"You are too extreme. There is indeed bad love in this world that can hurt people. However, good love still accounts for the majority." Xia Xue smiled slightly and asked puzzledly, "I don't quite understand what you mean. What does "cause" mean?
Death of love? What happened to them?"
"You don't need to know these." Blue Star's tone became cold, as if he was repelled by this question.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to ask more questions out of curiosity. In fact, I shouldn't ask these questions." Xia Xue sincerely apologized. Asking about other people's sad things is indeed a very ungift thing.
Lan Xing remained silent and did not speak any more.
"Let me say one more thing, I hope you can believe in love. In fact, there is really beautiful love in this world. The relatives around me have all experienced heart-wrenching, lingering and pathos love, and so have Yi and I..."
"I don't think Long Yi is that good. I once saw him from a distance. He was reprimanding a steward. He completely inherited his mother's frivolous and ruthless nature." Lan Xing's tone was full of disgust.
"You seem to be hostile to Yi." Xia Xue frowned, "Has he hurt you?"
"He and I don't know each other at all, so where does the hostility come from?" Lan Xing smiled coldly and said sarcastically, "Are you a woman's natural sensitivity? As long as the man you love gets involved with a woman, this will happen.
Kind of idea?”
"Then why are you hostile to him?" Xia Xue stared at her sharply, "Don't tell me no, I trust my intuition."
"He is the queen's son. All the queen's relatives are my enemies, including Long Yi and Long Lin." A cold light of hatred emerged in Lan Xing's clear blue eyes.
"This is too contradictory." Xia Xue was even more puzzled, "You clearly know that the queen is also Yi's enemy. The reason why Yi is where he is today is all thanks to the queen. Why do you say such things again?"
"That vicious woman didn't even spare her own son. This is her retribution." Lan Xing's expression became solemn, and her eyes became extremely complicated, as if there was some problem tangled in her heart.
"Don't you know that Yi is not the Queen's biological son at all..."
"Who did you hear that?" Lan Xing raised his eyes and stared at Xia Xue in surprise, "Who told you?"
"This is absolutely true. I thought you had figured out these relationships, but it seems you haven't figured it out yourself."
Xia Xue couldn't help but be a little disappointed. She thought Lanxing would know a lot of secrets and planned to get some truth out of Lanxing. Unexpectedly, Lanxing knew even less than she did. Moreover, Lanxing refused to tell her anything.
Not only is it mysterious, it's also dangerous.
"Who told you that Long Yi is not the Queen's biological son?" Lan Xing stared at Xia Xue deeply and asked again seriously.
"Why are you obsessed with this issue?" Xia Xue was already on guard against Blue Star and did not intend to reveal any more secrets to Blue Star. Maybe Blue Star was the person sent by the mastermind behind the scenes to spy on her. She had to
Proceed with caution.
"It seems you still don't believe me. Okay, let me change the question. You said Long Yi is not the queen's son, then whose son is he?" Lan Xing frowned, with a very solemn expression. It seemed that this question was not for her.
Say it's important.
"Why should I tell you this? You have never confessed anything to me. It's hard for me to believe you." Xia Xue took the opportunity to ask Lan Xing to clarify his identity, "If you want me to hide it for you in front of Long Lin
, should you show some integrity by cooperating with me before Judgment Day? Tell me first, your identity?"
Lan Xing was silent and did not answer, but her blue eyes were still staring at Xia Xue deeply. The look in them was so complex that it was indescribable. Xia Xue also stared at her without showing any signs of weakness. The two of them just looked at each other.
, no one spoke anymore.
After a long while, Lan Xing suddenly smiled and said with admiration: "As expected of the daughter of the Xia family, she is indeed smart and alert."
"To each other, you are also a very powerful person." Xia Xue smiled softly.
"Xia Xue, can I trust you?" Lan Xing looked at Xia Xue deeply.
