bad

After getting into the carriage and leaving the palace gate, Xu Jingluan began to question her.

Xu Boyuan had no choice but to avoid A'Zhu's matter, and roughly described what happened in the palace last night and today.

After hearing this, Xu Jingluan slapped her thigh: "No wonder! I just said that the prince suddenly sent me into the palace, and then left me behind, what does it mean? That's how it is!"

She suddenly realized, and turned her head to ask Ying Zhou: "So Yunxi suddenly appeared next to me last night. You were afraid that something might happen to me and asked her to protect me?"

Ying Zhou let out a "huh" and nodded.

The dragon energy barrier in the capital was shattered, and he was afraid that the people behind the scenes would attack Xu Jingluan again, so he contacted Yun Xi with a life-and-death contract when he was in the water palace, and ordered her to rush to Xu Jingluan's side.

Xu Jingluan was so touched that she said, "I knew you were the best, and you always think of me in everything!"

Immediately afterwards, she stared at Yun Xi with wide eyes, and asked, "Is Yun Xi also a monster?"

Yunxi smiled, "Well, I'm also a monster, living in Buzhou Mountain with Tiger and Mr. Bai."

Xu Jingluan squeezed beside her, curious: "'Mr. Bai' is Xiaobai, right? He is a white tiger, so what is your real body?"

Yunxi said: "The Princess, guess what?"

Xu Jingluan stroked her chin as if thinking, looked Yunxi up and down, smiled like a disciple, and said, "Young lady is so handsome, I'm afraid she's not a vixen!"

Yun Xi covered her lips and giggled non-stop, "I'm not. But a fox did come to the mountain a few days ago, it was an eight-tailed fox. Everyone is saying that Mr. Bai's status as the king of the mountain is about to be lost."

Xu Jingluan responded quickly, "Is it Lou Liuyi?"

Yun Xi nodded, "It's Mrs. Lou."

Xu Jingluan curled her lips, not very happy, she has always had a grudge against Lou Liuyi.

Ying Zhou supported his chin with his hand on the edge of the car window, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he turned his head and said, "She is pregnant, and her skills are only half of what she used to be. It is too dangerous outside, so I will let her live in the mountains temporarily." gone."

Xu Jingluan said seriously: "Ying Zhou, have you forgotten that she has harmed you and my brother?"

Ying Zhou let out a "huh" and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Xu Boyuan.

Xu Boyuan was a little unusually quiet today, although he usually didn't talk much, but his expression was not so condensed, Ying Zhou felt uneasy all the way, always worried that Xu Boyuan might not welcome him back to the palace.

"But if she doesn't go to the mountains, it will be difficult for her to give birth alone. Even if she can give birth smoothly, the half-human, half-demon child will hardly survive." Ying Zhou hesitated, worried that this reason would not be acceptable to Xu Boyuan and Xu Jingluan .

Sure enough, Xu Jingluan hated that iron could not be made into steel, she shook her head and sighed, "Ying Zhou, you are such a good person."

Ying Zhou touched his nose, not knowing how to respond.

Probably what Xu Jingluan said was right, judging by ordinary people's standards, he was indeed too careless.

It was an unexpected joy for Ying Zhou to be able to return to Prince Yu's Mansion.

He still lived in the original room, and after dinner, he took Yunxi to settle down.

Xu Jingluan wanted to arrange a room for Yun Xi next door to Ying Zhou, but Ying Zhou didn't mention it, so she didn't know if it would be a good idea. After all, Yun Xi belonged to Ying Zhou, so one room or two is the question.

And his brother—

She is too familiar with Xu Boyuan, even with the same expressionless face, she can tell that Xu Boyuan's expressionless face at this moment is different from the usual one.

Xu Boyuan sat in the upper seat of the flower hall, Xu Jingluan sat down beside him and said, "Brother, are you in a bad mood?"

A servant brought tea, Xu Boyuan picked it up and took a sip, then said calmly: "No."

Xu Jingluan rolled her eyes, "Come on, you can still hide it from me?"

Xu Boyuan said: "I have kept many things from you."

Xu Jingluan choked, and said angrily, "Are you my biological brother?!"

"No." Xu Boyuan answered very simply.

Xu Jingluan: "..."

"I'm telling you seriously," Xu Jingluan changed her posture, sat upright, and said seriously, "If you don't tell me some things, who else can you tell?"

Xu Boyuan half closed his eyes, "Then no one will say anything."

Xu Jingluan was so angry that she fell on her back and said angrily, "Don't talk about it for the rest of your life!"

Xu Boyuan still drank his tea calmly, turning a deaf ear to her rant.

"Go down, you all go down first!" Xu Jingluan drove the servants out of the flower hall like a fly, stood up and walked back and forth for two steps, stopped in front of Xu Boyuan, and said aggressively, "Xu Boyuan! You raise your head Come, look into my eyes!"

Xu Boyuan rolled his eyelids.

Xu Jingluan pointed at him with one hand, and put the other hand on her waist, condescending, "Let me ask you, is it true that the rumors that you are going to marry A Ling have been circulating outside?"

Xu Boyuan's eyes darkened, and said: "Auntie mentioned it once, but I have already rejected it."

Xu Jingluan smiled suspiciously, "Why did you refuse?"

Xu Boyuan asked back: "Why did you agree?"

Xu Jingluan had a face of "as expected", as if she had seen through everything, "Brother, you are perfunctory me, what are you covering up?"

Xu Boyuan's fingertips brushed slowly over the teacup holder, without answering.

There were only the two of them in the room, and a needle could be heard quietly.

Xu Jingluan was silent for a while, and then she opened her mouth in the silence, and asked word by word: "Brother, do you like Ying Zhou?"

Xu Boyuan's fingertips stopped.

At that moment, his expression didn't change much, but Xu Jingluan still noticed his emotional fluctuations.

Sure enough.

She narrowed her eyes: "Don't deny it."

In fact, Xu Boyuan did not intend to deny it.

Xu Jingluan snorted and said, "Before Ying Zhou entered the palace, I felt that something was wrong with you, so I refrained from asking. Do you think you can hide it from me?"

She is half proud of her keen sixth sense.

But more worried about this seemingly impossible marriage for his elder brother.

If Ying Zhou is a mortal, it's fine, Xu Boyuan will never marry a wife at worst, and it's not impossible to stay with him.But Ying Zhou has such an identity, let's not talk about whether Ying Zhou can stay in the world forever, stay in Yu Wang's mansion, but say that when Xu Boyuan is getting old, Ying Zhou will be like a day for decades, that scene is really unimaginable.

Xu Jingluan sat down again, with her head propped up quietly, she didn't look like her, she tapped the back of the chair with her fingertips, meditating silently.

Xu Boyuan knew what she was thinking, it was nothing more than how to help him.

It's not that he was shying away from Xu Jingluan so he didn't want to tell her, it's just that there was too much difference between him and Ying Zhou, so what if he said it.

Ying Zhou could disregard Lou Liuyi's actions and take her into Buzhou Mountain calmly, because he has no worries, he doesn't need to be afraid of Lou Liuyi, and he doesn't need to worry about anyone.He is a fairy, from the attitudes of the monsters and even the earth fairy Yanze, Ying Zhou's status is not low even in the fairy world, how can he match up with him as a mortal?

Of course, the biggest gap between the two of them is not identity, but longevity.

Ying Zhou's soul lives forever, he will not grow old, let alone die, but he himself has less than a hundred years.

He will gradually grow old, grow hair, lose teeth, be unable to walk, and turn into loess.And Ying Zhou will always be what he is now, a fairy in white, beautiful like a dream, like a flower in a mirror, a moon in water, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years.Ying Zhou's memory is not good, after his death, Ying Zhou may forget him in a short time.

He couldn't talk about it because he didn't have the confidence that Ying Zhou would like him.

Also because even if Ying Zhou is willing to accept him, he can't tolerate it, and he can only accompany Ying Zhou for a short hundred years.

How can they be together like this.

How would he convince himself to be willing.

"A Luan," Xu Boyuan raised his hand and rubbed his dull forehead, "Don't meddle in this matter."

Xu Jingluan turned her head and stared at him: "If I don't mention it today, are you going to keep hiding it like this?"

Xu Boyuan said: "I can't give him much, so why bother."

Xu Jingluan was so angry that she slapped the table, "How do you know you can't give it? How do you know what he wants without asking him?!"

What should Zhou want?Xu Boyuan pulled the corner of his mouth and closed his eyes.

Whether it's glory, wealth, or rare treasures, Ying Zhou can easily get everything that ordinary people desire, not to mention these worldly things Ying Zhou doesn't even care about.

As for other things, they had met for nearly half a year, and the only thing Ying Zhou mentioned was to make him emperor, but he couldn't do that alone.

Seeing the desolation and self-mockery in his non-smiling smile, Xu Jingluan felt a little distressed.

It's not that she doesn't understand Xu Boyuan's mood, but because she understands so well, she knows that with Xu Boyuan's character, it is absolutely impossible to take the initiative.Because Xu Boyuan is always worried about many things, he can't put all his eggs in one basket, and he can't go sideways, let alone give it a go.

There are too many things in his heart, so much that he has been suppressing himself, and it has become a habit.

But they depended on each other, Xu Boyuan took care of and protected her for so many years, Xu Jingluan hoped that she could do something for him.

"Brother," Xu Jingluan calmed down, "Yun Xi and Ying Zhou..."

Xu Boyuan's gaze swept over calmly, so calmly that he looked a little indifferent.

Xu Jingluan paused, thinking of Xu Boyuan's expression when she met Ying Zhou and Yunxi on the narrow road that night in Yuanxiao, feeling sad and helpless at the same time, she pouted and said brokenly, "Why bother, I won't kill you with jealousy."

She spoke lightly and quickly, Xu Boyuan didn't hear clearly.

Xu Jingluan took a breath and persuaded: "Brother, don't block your own way, how will you know if you don't try?"

Xu Boyuan pressed his forehead tiredly, but did not speak.

He never blocked any of his paths.

Because he had nowhere to go.
