Suo Diling

"You..." I was stunned, "Why are you doing this?"

If other people would betray me, I wouldn't be so surprised, but Bai Chen is different, he is a member of the Bai family, my most trusted subject, and even my uncle.Although I don't really believe in blood ties, the Bai family swore an oath to my mother.

Bai Chen's wrists trembled slightly, and his knuckles turned white: "Your Majesty, I just want to ask Your Majesty to let him live. I am willing to apologize with death."

Seeing the slight movement of the water in his eyes, I immediately get over it, and my thoughts turn back and forth——

My little uncle, who is tough, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, actually fell in love with Xiao Lan!

He was willing to apologize for his death!

Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan, what exactly did you do to him?

He only ordered Bai Chen to serve him once, so why did Bai Chen treat him like this? Could it be that these two people have some past that I don't know about, or did they secretly develop feelings for each other during their northern tour?

"Your Majesty, please order Xiao Lan to leave."

That's all, let's see what the two of them are going to play.

I waved my hand and ordered the army to make way for a road leading directly to the city gate. I looked up and saw Xiao Lan leading the guards walking towards the steps step by step. The end of fate.Snow was falling in the sky, and it was like the day when I gave him the Zen seat and walked down from the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Fate is so messed up.

He looked at me, and I looked at him, and was relatively speechless for a while. When he approached my carriage, I realized that he was not looking at me, but at Bai Chen, who was always moody and angry. On Yu Se's pale face, there was a dazed expression, and in an instant, he smiled, with mixed emotions in that smile, and I don't know how many emotions it contained.

"Bai Chen, I never thought that you could really do this for me."

A faint smile appeared on Bai Chen's face, but his trembling lips obviously turned purple.

I took a tight breath—he had taken poison, and he was already ready to die for Xiao Lan.

"I gave you that bird back then."

His voice was barely audible, but I heard it anyway.I don't know if Xiao Lan heard it, but I saw a little black blood dripping from the corner of Bai Chen's mouth. For some reason, I remembered the ibis that Xiao Lan locked in the cage, and I had some vague guesses.

"What did you say?" Xiao Lan frowned. He didn't hear clearly, and he didn't see the blood on the corner of Bai Chen's mouth. His eyes moved to my face, with a half-smile, "Sixth brother, long time no see."

"Fourth brother, stay safe."

"You're fine." He answered word by word with complex emotions in his dark eyes.I think he must hate me very much. Not only did I take back the throne, I also killed his favorite son, and even killed him here with the fourth son he detested, besieging him heavily.Even if he had a deep affection for me, now he should only want to get rid of me soon.

I know that I must not allow him to walk out of here alive, otherwise there will be endless disasters.

After finishing this sentence, he didn't say another word, knowing that he couldn't stay any longer, he glanced at Bai Chen, then walked away, got on his horse with the guards, and hurried out of the city.

When he reached the city gate, he stopped for a while, as if he wanted to turn around, but in the end he didn't.

When his back was getting further and further away, Bai Chen's hands trembled more and more, and the dagger on my neck seemed to loosen. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, I grabbed his wrist, and Xiao Du in his sleeve The self-defense hand blade left for me suddenly unsheathed and pressed against his heart.

But there is no need for me to do anything extra now—his eyes were a little distracted, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, he staggered, vomited a big mouthful of black blood, and fell limply back, I Reached out and grabbed him.I never thought that Bai Chen, who looked taller than me, would be so light, as light as a feather.

Perhaps it was because he was dying, and his soul was slowly turning into smoke.

"Why?" I couldn't figure it out, but my heart ached inexplicably.Perhaps because I have someone in my heart, I can also understand the feeling of drowning in the world of mortals, "Is it worth it?"

Is it worth it for such a person who doesn't look back at you when he leaves?

He was already speechless, choking on the thick black blood, but clutching his chest tightly with one hand.I tore off his stained skirt, and found that in the inner layer of the clothes, there was a bright red feather like blood.

What does "that bird" mean?

"Military doctor!" I shouted sharply, and when I looked up, I saw a figure in blue rushing towards the chariot, knelt down in front of the chariot, his face was full of pain when he raised his head, his handsome face was distorted and pale, but he remained motionless and did not say a word With a sound, Military Doctor Rong stepped forward to check on Bai Chen.

"Your Majesty, Situ, after drinking poisonous wine, I... have no power to recover."

I flicked my sleeves and let him go down, and saw the light in Bai Chen's eyes fade away little by little, and finally turned into silence.Yue Ye knelt in front of the chariot for a long time, then suddenly got up, stumbled a few steps, and let out a painful howl.

That voice didn't sound like a son of a family like him, it was like a trapped animal struggling to die.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to recover the Jiedu Envoy of Nalin Kingdom."

After a long silence, he said again.The sound is like cracking silk.

"Go." I paused, then picked up the feather on Bai Chen's chest, "Keep alive."

As I expected, before Xiao Lan escaped very far, he encountered the mighty [-] army led by Xiao Du, and was intercepted by Yue Ye who was chasing him. Trapped in an urn not far from King Chi.

When I saw him again, he was still riding on the horse, refusing to give in, and was finally subdued by Yue Ye, with a knife on his neck, and escorted to me.He raised his head and smiled at me, without the slightest timidity, and still looked calm and breezy.

"I didn't think about it, I thought about it with all my might, the chess game in this life is still completely defeated."

He raised the corners of his lips and looked at me meaningfully, "Sixth brother, you won."

I narrowed my eyes: "Use Bai Chen's heart for you to deal with me, you are despicable."

"A person who wants to achieve great things, why should he stick to trifles? I was just trying to save myself a way out, and I didn't pin my hopes on him." As he said this, he glanced around, as if Looking for traces of Bai Chen.How did he know that Bai Chen was lying quietly in my chariot.He never looked back at him, but it was a farewell.

"Don't look for it." I handed the things in my hands to his eyes, "He's dead."

The smile on his face froze instantly, staring at the bright red tail feathers in disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"Before he died, he seemed to want to tell you something." I paused, "He said...he gave the bird back then."

Xiao Lan's body shook suddenly.

Then, he narrowed his eyes and seemed a little confused: "What did you say?"

"He said that he gave the bird back then."

I repeated it word for word.

Xiao Lan stared at me blankly, as if a layer of mask had been cracked on his face, revealing the real and hideous flesh and blood underneath, the change in his expression at this moment was terrifying, I have never seen Xiao Lan with such emotions frankly exposed on the face.

Maybe it's because the bird in Bai Chen's mouth really means something to him.

"So, so many years..." He murmured blankly, repeated several times, and suddenly grabbed the blade on his neck, blood gushing from between his fingers, "Where is he? Xiao Ling, you Let me see him, let me see him!"

"You have no right to see him!" Yue Ye squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, fragmented.

I closed my eyes and lifted the curtain.

Xiao Lan's roar stopped abruptly.

He took a few steps forward, but Yue Ye was unable to hold him back: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

The sound of the bow and arrow being wound up suddenly resounded, I raised my hand to stop it, moved away, and was embraced by Xiao Du who flew over, and when I turned around, I saw Xiao Lan walking to the front of the chariot with chaotic steps, stood still for a moment, and stretched out his hand to grab Bai Chen , but how could Yueye let him meet?

At that moment, he threw Xiao Lan to the ground.But he was holding a blood-stained ribbon in his hand, and something was taken out of the car and rolled to the ground, it was the crown on Bai Chen's head.

He lay on his back on the ground, letting Yueye's knife lay across his neck, but still clenched his hand tightly.

Then, he let out a sigh and said a word.

Many years later, when I accidentally turned to the notes left by Bai Chen, I suddenly understood.

Xiao Lan's sinful love for me was a complete mistake.

——He said, it turns out that I have missed you for so many years.
