a little recession

Before Li Ran could reply, Zhao Changsong hurried in from the door, whispered a few words in Li Ran's ear, Li Ran frowned, lowered his eyes, and let out a deep breath.

"wait for me."

After saying this, Li Ran followed Zhao Changsong without looking back.

Li Ran's aura suddenly disappeared, and Yang Fenglin's tense shoulders relaxed. He leaned against the wall and couldn't help knocking his head. Fortunately, Zhao Changsong came and called Li Ran away in time. Yang Fenglin, how could you ask? If Li Ran likes the answer to this kind of question, how should you answer it?

Yang Fenglin turned around annoyed, grasping the wall with both hands, really thinking about scratching the wall.

Bajiao came in with tea, seeing his young master's look of despair, he didn't dare to ask more questions.Yang Fenglin changed his clothes, took a fan and said he wanted to go out for a walk.Bajiao wanted to follow, but Yang Fenglin didn't let him follow.Bajiao was a little worried, and shouted behind him, "Master, you can come back early."

Yang Fenglin waved her fan and walked to the east gate. The lotus flowers in this pond are blooming more and more beautifully. It's a pity that such a beautiful scenery was born in the wrong place. The east gate is a place where birds don't shit. What's the use of being beautiful, I can only enjoy myself alone, and finally the petals wither.

Yang Fenglin walked to the wooden bridge in the center of the lotus pond and sat down along the bridge.Cover your forehead with a fan to block the sun.Suddenly someone came over and stood beside him, Yang Fenglin raised his head startled by the sudden appearance of the shadow, squinted his eyes, thinking that it turned out to be an old acquaintance.Waving his fan, he is not in the mood to quarrel today.

"You are very interested." Bi Rou looked a little haggard, looking at Yang Fenglin's profile in a daze.

Yang Fenglin picked up a small stone beside him and threw it into the lotus pond, "Li Zheng is going to be executed today, you don't go to see him for the last time, but come to this desolate east gate, fourth princess, you are very leisurely. "

With a cold hum in her ear, Bi Rou looked at the dense lotus leaves and became more and more anxious.

"I didn't expect that you would kill everything to this point."

Yang Fenglin lazily supported the bridge deck with one hand, "When it comes to strike first, I can't compare to you. It's not a day or two that your Bi family look down on me, but what can you do? A Dou who cannot be supported by an older brother is far worse than you."

Bi Rou lowered her head to look at Yang Fenglin, and Yang Fenglin was also looking up at her with those beautiful peach blossom eyes. His words really hit Bi Rou's sore spot. When it comes to ability, she is the best in Bi's generation. She is outstanding, but unfortunately she was born to the wrong daughter, so she can only be reduced to a tool for the exchange of benefits, married to a trash like Li Zheng, and wasted good time in this palace for more than ten years.

"Are you mocking me?"

Yang Fenglin supported the bridge and stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, "Who am I, you don't know? If people don't offend me, I won't offend. If it weren't for being too harsh, I also want to keep a low profile in this palace. Bi Rou, before you entered the royal family, we met a few times and did a few business deals, and you were not in the same temper as you are now."

Bi Rou sneered, "temper? This kind of thing is the last thing you need in the palace. What you want here is smooth and beautiful jade, and angular stones will only be kicked around and be annoyed by people. Yang Fenglin, time is still long You don't have to be complacent, the people in the royal family are cold-hearted and cold-hearted. Don't look at Li Ran protecting you now, but if he wants to climb up in the future, he will abandon everyone around him. Feelings are the most important thing in this ruthless royal family. Unneeded. How do you know that the me I am today is not the you in the future."

Yang Fenglin put the fan behind his waist, and looked at her quietly, "I don't know what Li Ran will become in the future, and I can't predict it, but I can be sure that he is different from other royal children, and he will change even if he changes." It is enough to have one's own bottom line. The most precious thing in the royal family is this bottom line, and those who do not have a bottom line can only be swallowed up by desire and become bound in their own cocoon."

Yang Fenglin didn't want to say any more, but when he turned around, his body was pulled by Bi Rou, and the woman behind him looked stern, "Yang Fenglin, I'll wait, I'll wait to see the day when you suffer for the trust in your heart, follow Li Ran, don't you It will end well!"

Yang Fenglin turned around and shook Bi Rou's hand away, "I have the right to regret my choice."

Bi Rou looked at Yang Fenglin who was walking away, and suddenly raised her head and laughed, the veins around her neck were exposed, Yang Fenglin, thanks to you being a smart person, you can do such a stupid thing, no matter how different Li Ran is, he is still a child of the royal family, he Now that he has no power or influence, of course you think he still has a little kindness.But the human heart is about to change, how did you stop it.

How caring you are now, how sad you should be in the future.

Bi Rou stared at the fan that fell on the ground not far away, it should have been dropped by Yang Fenglin just now.Bending down to pick it up, suddenly footsteps came from behind, Bi Rou turned around, with a trace of surprise in her eyes, "Why are you?"

Li Ran took Zhao Changsong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Why is he back?" Li Ran kept walking.

Zhao Changsong took two steps forward and replied in a low voice, "I heard that the ashes were brought back."

"Ashes?" Li Ran stopped and looked at Zhao Changsong.Zhao Changsong looked sleepy and seemed not in good spirits.

"I heard that that person passed away last month and was cremated there. I came back this time to discuss where the ashes should go."

Li Ran rubbed the center of her eyebrows and understood.

This is the younger brother of the former queen, his elder brother, Li Zheng's biological father, and the old king's illegitimate son outside.Because of the low status of the biological mother, although the son was raised in the royal family, he was never seen.Fortunately, he gave birth to a good son, Li Zheng, who somehow got into the eyes of the late Queen, who was very fond of him.

Speaking of this brother, Li Ran's frown deepened.Since he was sensible, his elder brother has been inseparable from the word lewdness, regardless of gender, as long as he takes a fancy to him, no one will end well.The queen kept turning a blind eye to his behavior, afraid that he would not be ridiculous enough to send good-looking men and women over, and finally played too much, took too many drugs to enhance the fun, and suffered a stroke on the bed.

This lie is seven or eight years.

The person who sent him back this time was his godson. Speaking of this person, his identity is a bit embarrassing...

The Ministry of Internal Affairs may not be able to make up its mind. It seems that the status of enshrining in the Garan Palace is not enough. After all, he is an illegitimate child. If he is not enshrined, the queen did not deprive him of his title. up.

Li Ran entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and a man walked up to him, with a strong smell of medicine on his body, and bowed to Li Ran.Li Ran took a small step back, signaling for someone to get up.

There was a hint of a smile on the man's pale face, "Long time no see, Your Highness the Seventh."

Li Ran nodded slightly. This smile made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't like this person when he first saw him. He was soft and smooth. Although he had a handsome face, it made people feel uncomfortable.

The Minister of Internal Affairs hurried forward and looked at the ashes in the golden box on the case with some embarrassment.

Li Ran took a look, then turned around and stared blankly at the man who brought back the ashes, "How did you die?"

The man lowered his head and covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, "I'm sick."

Li Ran looked away from him, "Just follow the rules and enter the Garan Hall."

The Minister of Internal Affairs responded and ordered people to bring the ashes down to prepare for entering the Garan Hall.

Just as Li Ran was about to leave, the man behind him stopped him, "Your Highness Seventh, I haven't congratulated you yet on your wedding."

Li Ran tilted her head slightly, "Go back as soon as you're done."

There was another coughing sound from behind, and a chuckle, "I will go back naturally when the matter is over, don't worry, His Highness the Seventh."

Li Ran ignored it and took Zhao Changsong out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After entering the corridor, Zhao Changsong behind him exhaled, "Every time I see Liang Xianyi, I feel uncomfortable all over. Look at the smell of medicine all over his body. If you say he died of illness, who would believe it? If you want to say who hates you the most?" There is no one other than Liang Xianyi for a brother who does not live up to expectations. Your brother has been paralyzed in bed for seven or eight years, and the daily chores around him are all dependent on him. Liang Xianyi has to die however he wants, which is also a sin."

"Stop talking, go back."

Li Ran was a little impatient, he still had something on his mind, he wanted to go back and see Yang Fenglin.

On the other side, a group of guards came over, and when they saw Li Ran bowing out one after another, Zhao Changsong asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

The leader replied, "A female corpse was found in the lotus pond at the east gate."

"Female corpse?" Zhao Changsong didn't take it seriously, "There are many servants in the palace who can't think of jumping into the river, and I've never seen you so nervous before."

The leading guard lowered his voice, "Chief guard, this time it's not a servant, but the fourth concubine."

"What?" Zhao Changsong stared, why is it her?

Li Ran suddenly felt a little uneasy. He ignored Zhao Changsong behind him and walked out of the corridor quickly.

Yang Fenglin came back after walking halfway around the palace. It was getting late. He yawned and stretched his waist. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, his hands were held up by the guards, "His Royal Highness, please come with us to the Overwatch Council."

Yang Fenglin's hands hurt from being twisted, "If you have something to say, take me away, you have to give me a reason."

The leading guard had a sullen face, "The fourth concubine drowned in the lotus pond at the east gate. I found a fan by the pond. Please confirm whether it is yours or not."

After finishing speaking, the guard took out the fan, and Yang Fenglin saw that it wasn't the one that Li Ran gave him, so he fell into the pit again.

The star anise on one side is in a hurry, how could the young master kill someone.

Yang Fenglin didn't panic, he winked at Bajiao and told him to go to Ying Fulin.

It seems that he must taste the prison food of the Overwatch Council.

When Li Ran came in, what he saw was the scene of Yang Fenglin being held by his arms, and he stepped forward to block the guard who was holding Yang Fenglin, "What's going on?"

Yang Fenglin grabbed Li Ran's arm, turned around and said in a low voice, "Don't stand up for this matter, don't drag yourself into it, I'm fine."

Holding Li Ran's hand tightened a little bit, Li Ran looked down at him, feeling a pain in his heart, "Don't let me take care of it? You don't want me to get involved, or you think I'm not capable of taking care of it."

Yang Fenglin pulled him aside, "What nonsense are you talking about? Bi Rou died inexplicably, how could it be so coincidental that I met her in the lotus pond, and she drowned to death on her hind feet, and she didn't find out the real purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes Before, there was no need to drag you into it, what if the real target of that person is actually you."

After Yang Fenglin finished speaking, he quickly turned his head and smiled at a group of Overwatch Council guards, "Let's go, brothers, finish the interrogation early, so we can make time for dinner."

That being said, Yang Fenglin knew very well that he would not be able to come back today.

The guards saluted Li Ran and took Yang Fenglin away.

Li Ran clenched her fists, her face was frighteningly pale.

Zhao Changsong walked up to him carefully, "What should I do next? It seems that this matter is not that simple."

Li Ran had mixed feelings in his heart. Seeing Yang Fenglin being taken away, he was indeed powerless. For the first time, he felt a little regretful.

"My forbearance and my non-dispute made the people around me can only be humiliated by others arbitrarily, and I could only watch helplessly from the sidelines."

Zhao Changsong sighed softly, what could he say.

Li Ran closed his eyes, a sense of powerlessness enveloped his body, and the soreness from the bottom of his heart made his heart ache.

This kind of uncontrollable panic has never happened for many years.

Opening his eyes suddenly, Li Ran turned around, and Zhao Changsong followed quickly, "Your Highness Seventh, don't be impulsive."

Li Ran's voice was suffocated, a little hoarse, "Go to the Overwatch Council."
