Quick Wear: When the Affectionate Male Supporting Character Gets the Script of a Cool Stories

Thinking of this, and looking at the dark room he was in, Zhong Chaoci mentioned intentionally or unintentionally:

"I heard that on the day Helan Jue ascended the throne, he brought Jiang Xu to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to accept the worship of all the ministers. He couldn't even wait for the ceremony of crowning the queen, and wanted to announce it to the world."

"Jiang Xu."

Helan Yun murmured the name in a low voice. If it weren't for the fact that he was the only son of the Duke's Mansion, he would not have even looked at him twice in the past. But now, he was helping Helan Jue and pushing him into the abyss.

"For an emperor, being too deeply in love is not a good thing." He said sarcastically, and at the same time he couldn't help but think of another way.

"Since you care about him so much, I'll start with him."

Helan Jue made him lose everything he cared about most, so he had to give it back in return to be considered as "reciprocity".

Zhong Chaoci raised his lip corners very quickly when he heard this, "But Jiang Xu is in the deep palace, and we are far away in Changzhou, how can we start with him?"

"Yeah..." He Lanyun frowned slightly, "How can we start with him?"

"Chao Ci, do you have any idea?"

Helan Yun looked up at him with extremely gentle eyes, as if he had returned to the past.

Zhong Chaoci was in a trance for a moment, but was quickly brought back to his senses by the damp and cold air in the room. "Yes, there is. Just now you mentioned that you wanted to take advantage of public opinion. You can do the same with Jiang Xu."

Helan Yun's thoughts turned quickly, "Heh, Male Queen, can Helan Jue really withstand such pressure?"

"No," Zhong Chaoci shook his head. "It's not just that. Your Highness, a man who was originally not going to live long suddenly became healthy and seemed like a different person, no longer the frivolous and ostentatious man he used to be. Could it be that he was possessed by some evil spirit?"

Helan Yun thought for a moment and laughed, raised his hand and stroked the side of Zhong Chaoci's face: "You are really my lucky star."

The decision to bring Zhong Chaoci along was indeed the right one.

……

The next day.

Helan Yun and Zhong Chaoci secretly set foot in Mei Jianan's mansion and were politely received by him.

Helan Yun discussed matters with Mei Jianan in the study room all day.

According to the plan, the first step should be to spread the rumor that Jiang Xu is an evil spirit, and once the rumor has spread to a certain extent, then start to spread the news that Helan Jue is plotting treason.

But Helan Yun stayed in Mei Jianan's house for a whole day and didn't hear any news from outside. Mei's house was in a busy city and it was not convenient for him to go out. He waited until night before he heard the news that Mei Jianan had returned home.

At that time, he and Zhong Chaoci were waiting in the hall of the Mei Mansion. When he saw Mei Jianan enter the room, he subconsciously wanted to greet him anxiously, but when Helan Yun saw the person who came in right behind Mei Jianan, his face changed.

"Master Mei, what does this mean?"

With a dagger pressed against his waist, Mei Jianan didn't dare to speak and swallowed his saliva.

Zhong Chaoci didn't expect to see Jiang Xu in such a situation. He stood up immediately with an alert look.

Jiang Xu glanced at the two of them, with a smile on his face, and raised his hand slightly. In an instant, a line of royal guards in military uniforms and armor came in from behind him and surrounded the hall of Mei Mansion.

Before this, more imperial guards had surrounded the Mei Mansion.

Looking at Jiang Xu's calm appearance, He Lanyun understood everything instantly, and his face turned grim: "You have been following us?"

"Your Highness is wise." Jiang Xu smiled and walked calmly past them to take a seat in the hall. He was still followed by the silent and simple guard.

This makes the various cover-up tricks Helan Yun used on his escape seem like a joke.

Zhong Chaoci gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't you capture us from the beginning? Follow us to Changzhou. Do you treat us like lab rats?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Xuman nonchalantly turned the dagger in his hand. This was a trophy from Helan Jue's first battle with the Turks. "It's not that high-end. Don't flatter yourself. I just want to see what tricks you guys can come up with. Isn't it fun to watch you run around like a headless fly?"

"Unfortunately, the result was not a surprise. It was just as I expected. He came to Changzhou to find Master Mei, and then spread some rumors..."

At this point, Jiang Xu chuckled and looked at Zhong Chaoci as if he was talking to a friend.

"I am an evil spirit? Aren't you the same? Zhong Chaoci, you are so smart to think of that."

Zhong Chaoci's face turned red with anger.

Jiang Xu didn't look at him again. He pulled out the dagger and stroked the ruby ​​inlaid at the connection of the handle with his fingers. His amber eyes gradually became dark and cold.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you guys are targeting me. I don't like you guys touching Helan Jue, especially you, Helan Yun."

He Lanyun looked at Jiang Xu with a sullen face.

"You were born noble, and were canonized as the crown prince when you were young. You grew up in luxury. No one is a threat to you except Helan Cheng. But people, the more you yearn for something, the more you fear losing it."

"The more you do, the more mistakes you make. The situation you and your mother are in now is entirely your own fault. You can't blame anyone else."

"What do you know?!" Helan Yun's voice was almost hoarse and torn, "You know nothing about what kind of person Helan Jue is!"

"Do you know why I'm the only one here this time and Helan Jue isn't?" Jiang Xu had a blank expression on his face, his expression extremely cold, "Because he finds people like you dirty when he sees them."

"He has no interest in the throne, but you and your son have pushed him into a desperate situation. You are so eager for power that you think others are the same as you. If it weren't for the unnecessary things you did, how could you have ended up like this?"

"Jiang Xu, you know it, right? You know that Helan Jue can't stand it—"

Before Helan Yun could finish his words, the dagger in Jiang Xu's hand flew out like a gust of wind, instantly interrupting his train of thought.

Everyone in the hall was also shocked by Jiang Xu's sudden action. Even if the former prince was a fugitive criminal, wasn't it too hasty to kill people at will without the emperor's death order?

The flying knife happened in a flash. There were imperial guards all around and there was nowhere to escape. Helan Yun subconsciously pulled the person next to him forward to block the knife.

puff-

The sound of flesh being torn, mixed with Zhong Chaoci's screams of fear and pain, rang out in the hall.

Zhong Chaoci was terrified. He looked down at the dagger stuck in his shoulder. For the first time, he felt that death was so close to him. He didn't even notice Helan Yun falling to the ground behind him. His eyes were wide open and his voice was trembling.

"Jiang Xu, you, you want to kill me? Are you crazy?!"

"I'm not trying to kill you, you're trying to kill me. The rumors you're trying to spread are trying to kill me."

Jiang Xu curled his lips coldly, stood up and walked towards him step by step, "Speaking of which, I am kind to you. I am actually a person who doesn't like to worry about anything. When I didn't do anything to you, you should learn to be low-key and take care of yourself. It's a pity that you can't learn..."

"When Helan Yun half-forced you to flee, you actually had many opportunities to escape, but why didn't you?"

"In fact, it's not hard to guess what you're thinking. You want to see if Helan Yun still has a chance to make a comeback. You want to use his power to crush me, or kill someone with a borrowed knife."

As they got closer, Jiang Xu's voice became softer and softer.

The blood gushing out of his shoulder made Zhong Chaoci feel dizzy, as if what was losing was not only blood, but also his life.

After the fright, Zhong Chaoci suddenly felt very cold. He knew that was a symptom of excessive blood loss. He looked at Jiang Xu who was walking towards him step by step, like a demon from hell.

He regretted it.

He regretted provoking Jiang Xu. He could never beat Jiang Xu!

He also regretted getting involved in the struggle for imperial power. It would have been perfect for him to do business steadily and live a rich and leisurely life as Zhang said. Why should he not be content?

Knowing clearly that Helan Yun was a desperate man, why did you take a gamble and board his pirate ship?

The days of drinking tea and settling accounts in Haozhailai Restaurant seemed like just yesterday, but to him at this moment, it seemed like a lifetime ago.

Jiang Xu grasped the hilt of the knife and pulled it out with the dagger. More blood gushed out and Zhong Chaoci fell down exhausted.

Jiang Xu stood there, looking down at Zhong Chaoci, his eyes devoid of any emotion, and spoke coldly:

"Helan Yun is an idiot, and so are you."

Before he completely lost consciousness, he heard Jiang Xu say something else.

"After you leave, Zhang Yuanrong will live a good life, and so will Tuanyuan."

Zhang Yuanrong?

Is this body's mother's name?

Can that woman in the boudoir who always shrinks back and retreats when faced with difficulties live well alone?

Reunion... He seemed to have forgotten what this young servant looked like.

Does he have a next life?

There is no answer.

Jiang Xu withdrew his gaze, looked at the blood that inevitably stained his hands, frowned, and before he could open his mouth to give any instructions, a grey handkerchief was handed to him. It was a rough hand covered with scars.

He took the handkerchief and waved it: "Thank you."

Huo Ying didn't say anything. When he saw Jiang Xu walking past the fallen He Lan Yun and about to touch the corner of his clothes, he silently stretched out his leg and kicked He Lan Yun aside.

"Tie up your hands and feet, put you in a prisoner van, and take you back to Beijing."

Jiang Xu ordered in a cold voice.

Helan Yun should also experience how Helan Jue entered the capital lying down and was pitied and ridiculed. Helan Cheng, who was imprisoned in the capital, naturally would not leave like this.

Now that Helan Yun has been arrested, Mei Jianan will naturally not be immune to the consequences. The newly appointed governor of Jiangnan has already settled down in the Changzhou Posthouse and will start searching his property and questioning him tomorrow. Jiang Xu will not interfere in these matters.

It was late at night. Jiang Xu walked out of the Mei Mansion accompanied by Huo Ying. He was stunned the moment he walked out of the door.

The man was still dressed in white, standing tall in front of the carriage, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, looking at him with a warm and gentle smile, and stretched out his hand to him:

"I'll take you home."

……

After Helan Yun was sent back to Beijing with rotten cabbage and rotten eggs thrown all the way, the old case was reinvestigated and Helan Cheng was brought up.

These two brothers, who had been fighting almost since they were young, were not born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but died on the same day.

I don’t know what they were thinking when they faced each other to die on the execution ground.

Not long after the death of the former crown prince and the fourth prince, the retired emperor, who was already on his last breath in the palace, could no longer hold on, and the imperial doctors knelt in a room outside.

After listening to the report from the head of the Imperial Hospital, Helan Jue nodded, then stood up and walked towards the inner room of the emperor's bedroom.

The bedroom was eerily quiet; the Southern Emperor's heavy breathing was very obvious, as if he might be unable to breathe at any moment.

He heard footsteps and turned his head with difficulty, seeing Helan Jue, who was dressed in a light-colored dragon robe and looked very majestic. He was pleased but also reluctant to let go.

In the end, he was unable to grasp this vast empire and this fascinating supreme power.

Fortunately, the child who took over was the one he had with his beloved woman.

"Xunzhi, the country has you. After I leave... I can close my eyes in peace, and I can also..."

"You can also go look for your mother with peace of mind."

Nan Di closed his eyes gently. Now opening his eyes required a lot of effort for him. He imagined the scene of seeing Ye Wanqing again.

He gave the kingdom to her child, so she should forgive him.

Suddenly, an extremely cold voice sounded in his ears, interrupting his longing fantasy.

"No, you don't deserve to see her."

"What?"

"You killed her, how can you have the face to see her?"

Helan Jue walked to the bedside and looked down at the dying emperor.

Nan Di opened his eyes, his cloudy pupils contracted, he was afraid.

"You...know everything? Heh."

"She hanged herself in front of me," Helan Jue said expressionlessly, "I was still young at that time, but I remember clearly every word she said before she died."

"She and you were not in love with each other. You were cowardly and timid when you were young and did not dare to approach her. It was you who hid in the corner and coveted her even after she entered the palace as a concubine."

"When the late emperor was seriously ill, you thought you had a chance, so you forcefully insulted her, and that's how I came to be."

"With my dirty blood, which is a shame to her!"

Helan Jue's hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched so hard that his knuckles turned white. The sharp look he gave the Southern Emperor was like a sharp blade, which not only pierced through the Southern Emperor's false illusion that even deceived himself, but also pierced himself.

"No..." Emperor Nan was extremely scared. At that moment, what he saw was not Helan Jue, but Ye Wanqing's phoenix eyes looking at him sharply and questioning him. He closed his eyes and wanted to escape.

"not like this!"

"She has me in her heart, she has me in her heart!"

Helan Jue sneered, his phoenix eyes were as cold as ice, "It's just hatred. She hates you, and I hate you too! She hated me so much that she wanted to kill me several times, but she couldn't do it, so she could only kill herself."

"You've never seen what a person who died of hanging looks like, right? Her face was blue and purple, and she didn't look as gentle as before. She just kept her eyes open, staring at me..."

Nandi's breathing became more and more rapid, and a sound like cold wind pouring into an old bellows came out of his throat, which was extremely harsh.

"I don't know if he's looking at me," Helan Jue lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his lips and smiled, and said softly, "Or is he looking at you..."

The Southern Emperor’s eyes suddenly widened, his legs struggled on the dragon bed and he stared twice, his neck raised high, and as he took his last breath, he passed away.

Helan Jue stood beside the bed and just looked at him, the atmosphere around him was dead silent.

"Helan Feng, after you die, no one will worship you. You will be a lonely ghost in this world. Never disturb her peace again."

A moment later, he walked out of the palace and announced the death of the Southern Emperor. Suddenly, a burst of crying sounded in the palace, but no one was really sad.

Helan Jue ignored everything else and walked straight out of the hall and headed straight for Qiwu Palace. He walked silently to the side of the person who was dozing off in the corridor and bent down to lean against Jiang Xu.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xu was not asleep. He looked at the person lying on him with a frown on his face.

Helan Jue took a deep breath, sniffing the breath that made him feel at ease, and shook his head: "Let me hold you for a while."

Jiang Xu moved a little, leaving a space on the couch, but it was still a bit crowded. "Then you come up."

Helan Jue held him in his arms, the two of them were very close to each other, and no one spoke.

A tree of Albizia Julibrissin overhead blocked the dazzling sunlight. The wind blew and the trees rustled. Occasionally, a thin ray of light fell and shone on the lovers who were hugging each other tightly on the couch. Time seemed to be frozen forever.

This is what happiness looks like.

Helan Jue had seen this kind of happiness before, but had never imagined it.

Now he has it too.
