Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

The female official in charge of bathing in the princess's mansion must have been of the highest professional level. She kneaded and massaged Jiang Feng until he felt like he was floating in ecstasy, and You Ran was stunned as he watched from the side.

The ointment after bathing smelled of osmanthus, the pajamas were made of comfortable brocade, the bed was soft and smelled of the sun, the curtains were drawn low, the candles were blown out, the world was dark, and she fell into a deep sleep in the endless darkness.

At some point, a man came up to the bed, with the sharpness of an autumn night and a hint of alcohol. Jiang Feng was extremely sleepy, her eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, her body was limp and she could not use any strength. She carefully pulled out a dagger from under her pillow and stabbed the man based on her feeling.

The other party chuckled and grabbed the girl's wrist. "Hmm? Use the dagger I gave you to protect yourself?"

It was Li Longye! Jiang Feng seemed to be possessed. She couldn't open her eyes, couldn't speak, and her arms were out of control. She stretched out her hand to push, but her fingers touched something cold and soft.

Li Longye's voice was full of suspicion: "Don't move."

Jiang Feng frowned, sweating profusely, and whimpering. Seeing this pitiful look, Li Longye stretched out his long arms to take the teapot on the table, and poured some tea directly into his mouth without using a teacup.

Jiang Feng drank it up like a sweet drink. Li Longye smiled even more and poured it twice more.

Jiang Feng felt better and slowly opened his eyes. He could vaguely see Li Longye.

"This must be a dream." Jiang Feng murmured, but Li Longye heard every word. He lay down on his side, looked into the girl's hazy eyes and said, "Have I ever been in your dream?"

Jiang Feng nodded with difficulty.

The night they encountered Li Chongjun, she dreamed that he rode towards her on horseback, whipping his horse hard and shouting "Jiang Feng! Jiang Feng!"

There was originally only a short distance between them. Huangcongpiao was obviously very fast, and she kept waving at the spot, but he just couldn't get to her.

The man and the horse seemed to be on a treadmill, no matter how fast they went, they were always standing still! She put her hand down helplessly, the sound of horse hooves and the sound of the "river breeze" gradually mixed together, forming huge sound waves that hit her heart, until she woke up covered in sweat.

She didn't always see herself as a scourge, and her dream of a young girl had his shadow after all. Jiang Feng's long hair was falling, and he picked up a strand and unconsciously wrapped it around his fingers, "That dream must not be a good one."

Jiang Feng smiled bitterly and nodded again.

"What about this dream?" the man continued to ask unwillingly.

"Hmm?" The woman was no longer able to think clearly.

"I entered your dream again." The man explained.

"This is... a nightmare." Jiang Feng seemed to be awake but not fully awake.

"This is not a nightmare, don't worry." Li Longye said in a low voice.

Jiang Feng looked at him with sleepy eyes, revealing a suspicious look, but the man felt "seductive" in her blurred eyes. It seemed that thin and soft silk threads stretched out from her eyes, hooking his heart one by one, and he exhaled heavily.

"I'll feel relieved if you leave."

Li Longye let go of the strand of hair that was wrapped around his fingertips, put his big hand on the girl's face, and stroked it gently.

The palm of her hand was warm and soft. Jiang Feng's vigilance gradually disappeared under the touch. The drunkenness and sleepiness came over her again. She forced her eyes open, raised her arm and drew a line between them. "You can not leave... but don't... don't cross the line!"

"it is good!"

"I swear...I don't believe you..."

"Yes! I swear..."

"If you cross the line, your father, son and brother will not be able to achieve hegemony, and Li Longji... will never... become the emperor."

"..."

Jiang Feng couldn't hold on any longer before Li Longye swore an oath and fell into a deep sleep again.

If the mandarin duck jade pendant around her neck hadn't disappeared, Jiang Feng would have really thought that last night was just a dream. She paced back and forth in front of the bed barefoot, and didn't even notice Chu Yan coming in.

Chu Yan saw that her face was pale and asked in surprise: "Didn't you get enough rest? You look so ugly."

Jiang Feng definitely didn't dare to tell anyone about Li Longye's night visit to her boudoir, so she could only brace herself up and say, "I'm fine, I just drank too much last night."

As they were talking, a row of maids came in one after another. Jiang Feng was arranged to wash her hands, clean her face, apply perfume, put on makeup, comb her hair, and change clothes like a puppet. She was thinking about other things and didn't pay attention to it. Chu Yan was stunned by the smooth and seamless service.

The breakfast was very sumptuous. The pastries and side dishes were not only delicious but also beautiful in appearance. However, Jiang Feng had no appetite.

The Moon-Watching Tower where Jiang Feng lived was very close to the main hall where Princess Taiping lived. After dinner, he was led by the palace servants to meet Princess Taiping. Chu Yan was not invited, so he went to find Ruye and Ruojin.

Jiang Feng met Li Longye on the way, and he seemed to be fine, and greeted Jiang Feng seriously. Jiang Feng's expression of being furious but unable to vent his anger made him laugh immorally.

Jiang Feng took two quick steps and walked with him, his voice was very low but fierce, "Give it back to me!"

Li Longye showed his rogue behavior: "No!"

Jiang Feng was furious when he saw him being such a scoundrel, but he still said in a friendly manner: "That jade pendant is very important to me. Please, Your Majesty..."

Li Longye gathered his sleeves and said, "Isn't it just a token of love? I don't like it and have thrown it away!"

Jiang Feng's face turned red with anger, and he asked, "Why?"

Li Longye said calmly: "Because I don't like it."

He leaned closer and whispered, "Because I didn't touch you last night." By the end of his words, he was becoming extremely ambiguous.

Jiang Feng felt a little embarrassed when she thought about sleeping on the same bed with him last night. She took a step back, knowing that it would be difficult to ask him to return the jade pendant, so she gave up the idea of ​​asking him.

Then he said sarcastically: "You don't like it? Then Your Majesty should be prepared, there are many things that you will not like!"

After saying that she didn't want the jade pendant, she turned around and was about to leave, but Li Longye grabbed her arm and it was like an iron chain that she couldn't break free.

"What do you mean?" Li Longye's face was gloomy and there was anger on his eyebrows.

Jiang Feng looked back: "Literally!"

Seeing that Li Longye was unwilling to give up, she held up the pinky ring on her ring finger and said, "There is a blood vessel in the ring finger that is connected to the heart, which symbolizes the mutual understanding between lovers. The most effective marriage tree in Xiangji Temple hangs the love locks of Yiye and me. We agreed to spend the rest of our lives together in Qingchuan..."

Jiang Feng looked at Li Longye's increasingly gloomy eyes and said provocatively: "This is what I mean. He and I trust each other and love each other deeply. We are determined to be together for life! No sneaky tricks can separate us!"

Li Longye looked at her excited, flushed face steadily, and said sarcastically, "Do you know what real sneaky tricks are? If I had used those dirty tricks once or twice, you wouldn't say that!"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Feng asked back.

"Have you ever thought about why you slept so deeply last night? Was it because you had no strength in your limbs? Was the female official outside too slow? How did I get into your bed?" Li Longye said calmly.

The series of questions were like a wake-up call, and Jiang Feng's hair stood on end, as if a cold wind was blowing on his back.

She had simply thought that it was easy for Li Longye to break into the inner room with his own skills. She had thought that he was drunk and couldn't control himself... But thinking about it carefully, that feeling was indeed different from being drunk. She and Li Longye spoke in a relatively low voice, but there were six or seven female officials in the outer room, including You Ran, so why didn't they hear and come in to stop him...

Jiang Feng's face was pale, and he looked at Li Longye in astonishment, his eyes filled with questions, fear, and trepidation.

"Is it... a drug?" Jiang Feng asked tentatively.

Li Longye sighed helplessly, put his hands behind his back, and avoided answering: "If I hadn't killed that villain last night..."

Jiang Feng was unsteady on her feet and staggered back a step. Li Longye stepped forward, grabbed her waist, and continued to attack her: "This is a sneaky trick!"

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself!"

Jiang Feng looked over when he heard the voice. Shen Guxing came quickly over, grabbed Jiang Feng and said in a cold voice.

Li Longye didn't take it seriously, and said calmly, "Mr. Shen and Ji'an drank under the moon last night, and had a great time talking, so they didn't neglect the beauty. This prince and Afeng have known each other for a long time, so I have to show some concern!"

Facing Li Longye's "instigation", Shen Guxing refused to give in: "The prince has only been back to Chang'an for a short time, and a lot of information is unknown."

Li Longye raised his eyebrows and waited for Shen Guxing to continue.

Shen Guxing raised his hands, which were clasped with Jiang Feng's fingers, and spoke word by word with the attitude of a male possessing a female: "We have obtained the permission of the elders of both families, and we will be engaged soon. Ah Feng will be my wife, and I will protect her for the rest of my life. Your Highness, don't worry about our affairs."

Li Longye laughed loudly, and stopped smiling after a while. He moved closer to Shen Guxing, patted his shoulder with one hand, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Jiang Feng couldn't hear what he said, but it wasn't anything good, so Shen Guxing held his hands even tighter.

Shen Guxing waited for Li Longye to finish speaking, then said sternly, "I am not him! Your Highness's worry is really unnecessary!"

Jiang Feng felt that it was extremely childish and awkward for two men to be at loggerheads over a woman. She interrupted before Li Longye could speak: "Doesn't the prince have something important to see the princess? Please make yourself at home. I have something to discuss with Yi Ye!"

Facing Jiang Feng's "order to expel him", Li Longye looked unhappy, his eyes sharp as needles, and pointed at his neck, reminding Jiang Feng: "Ah Feng has something with me. If you want it back, come find me anytime!"

Jiang Feng understood that Li Longye was referring to the jade pendant, but Shen Guxing did not understand why. He thought that Li Longye was going to take this opportunity to pester him again, so he said, "Why bother with that! Since it belongs to Ah Feng, why don't you return it now, Your Majesty?"

Li Longye didn't say anything, but just looked at Jiang Feng with a smile, as if asking what she thought.

Jiang Feng didn't know how to explain to Shen Guxing how the thing she wore close to her body ended up in Li Longye's hands? She would never deceive Shen Guxing!

Seeing her at a loss, Shen Guxing's face flushed with anxiety. He was also puzzled and whispered, "Afeng, what's wrong?"

Jiang Feng felt both guilty and distressed. Facing Shen Guxing's concerned eyes, he did not have the courage to tell the truth.

Li Longye saw Jiang Feng's embarrassed expression, but he couldn't bear it after all, so he said: "It's really unfortunate that I didn't bring it with me today."

Jiang Feng and his two companions arrived at Linqing Garden where Princess Taiping lived, and they ran into a guard with his skin torn and flesh torn being carried out by two young eunuchs.

Li Longye glanced at Jiang Feng, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The young eunuch bowed his head and replied, "This morning, a body was found in the Osmanthus Garden. Later, it was found that it was Princess Anle's servant. Someone died in the other garden inexplicably. The Queen determined that the guards were derelict in their duties and beat them with a stick and are waiting for their punishment."

Li Longye waved his hand, and the young eunuch led the people away.

Could it be that the villain killed by Li Longye was this servant?

If it was him? Why did he drug himself? There seemed to be only two possibilities: killing her or destroying her.

But why? She had no conflict with Princess Anle, so why would someone of her rank attack a small person like her?

Could it be that he was going after Chu Yan? Did he accidentally find Jiang Feng? This doesn't make sense, it's just a kingfisher! Moreover, if Princess Anle wanted to deal with Chu Yan, why would she go to such lengths? And even risk offending Princess Taiping?

What if it wasn’t Princess Anle’s instruction?

……

Questions one after another were like heavy hammers hitting her chest, squeezing the oxygen in her lungs, and even her breathing seemed to stop.

Seeing her pale face and cold fingers, Shen Guxing thought that she couldn't stand the bloody scene, so he comforted her, "Don't be afraid!"
