Fingers of crossing

Lu He stood there in a daze, watching Yan Yilan walk into Shenyan Pavilion.

Lu He, you little traitor.

Thinking of Yan Yilan's laughing words before, Lu He realized that she had done a big thing of betraying her master. Thinking about it, she pursed her lips, and suddenly felt like crying, feeling that her loyalty was being questioned.

But what can be done then?

Facing the eldest princess, Lu He, like everyone else in Yan Country, was born with fear and submission, and told the truth involuntarily.

Lu He was still annoyed by herself, Yan Yilan had already entered the inner hall at this time, she opened the gauze curtain lightly, and Jiang Ningzui's figure behind the screen could be seen at a glance.

At this time, Jiang Ningzui had already taken off the outermost gauze dress. When she heard the movement behind her, she turned her head and saw Yan Yilan scrutinizing her changing clothes without any concealment. She frowned slightly. Jiang Ning Zui closed his eyes, turned around and ignored her.

Seeing that Jiang Ningzui was silent, Yan Yilan was just about to go forward, but Jiang Ningzui's cold eyes stopped her when she didn't want to, she said mercilessly: "I'm tired, please ask the eldest princess to go out."

Jiang Ningzui's words were clear, but when she finished speaking, Yan Yilan had already sat down ignorantly. She propped her chin, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile, "I'm hungry."

Jiang Ning came back drunk, "I'll let the imperial chef prepare dinner and send it to Qiluan Palace."

"But I want to eat here."

"..." Jiang Ningzui was silent for a moment, she gave Yan Yilan a cold look, she didn't intend to pay attention to her silly tricks, but put on her coat again, and said: "The eldest princess has a good rest, I will take my leave first .”

Seeing that Jiang Ningzui left as soon as she said she wanted to go, Yan Yilan was amused and annoyed, she got up, stopped Jiang Ningzui's way, and said with a smile: "What are you messing with? "

"I didn't make a fuss." Jiang Ningzui stared at Yan Yilan with her plain and clear eyes, her expression and tone did not show any signs of displeasure, she said calmly, "Princess, don't misunderstand."

"Oh?" Yan Yilan raised her eyebrows, smiled narrowly, and couldn't help jokingly said: "That's because I misunderstood."

Jiang Ningzui looked at Yan Yilan standing in front of her coldly, her slender lips were slightly pursed, she wanted to speak but stopped, and finally walked around Yan Yilan to the outside of Shenyan Pavilion.It's a pity that after only three or two steps, Yan Yilan hugged her from behind. This hug was so warm, and Yan Yilan's wrist was so light, Jiang Ningzui was stunned for a moment, and could only let Yan Yilan hug her. Yilan hugged her tighter and tighter.

Yan Yilan's side face gently stroked the fine hair beside Jiang Ningzui's ears. In the quiet night, her voice was like the mellowest spirit in the world, scalding Jiang Ningzui's auricles. "You should understand me, Ningzui, agreeing to King Beiyang is just a strategy to slow down the army."

Jiang Ningzui said: "I know." The words were calm and breezy, without any ups and downs, just like Jiang Ningzui's expression at this moment.

Knowing Jiang Ningzui's temper well, Yan Yilan smiled, her tone was gentle and deep, "So, stay here."

"Did the eldest princess forget to promise the king of Beiyang?" Jiang Ningzui's words were still cold, as if a pair of ruthless hands were burning all the warmth created by Yan Yilan.As she spoke, she tried to break away from Yan Yilan's hugging her hand, and struggled twice, but she didn't know what she thought of, her eyes drooped silently, making it difficult for people to see the true expression on her face. "Since you have made a decision, I will cooperate with you. Right now, if I continue to stay here, I am afraid that it will make King Beiyang suspicious."

Jiang Ningzui's insistence on leaving was not because of the taste. Although she felt uncomfortable, these were not the reasons for her willful behavior. She just knew that Yan Yilan had agreed to the marriage contract with King Beiyang, so Not wanting Yan Yilan to open her mouth to make things difficult, she chose to leave first.

This is a kind of tacit understanding that is natural and does not even need to be explained. No matter what Yan Yilan wants to do, Jiang Ningzui can not ask the reason. Since she chooses to believe her, even an explanation is superfluous.

This is Jiang Ning's way of loving someone drunk.

Yan Yilan didn't say a word, but hugged Jiang Ningzui even tighter. The time was quiet, only the silent flickering of the candlelight, illuminating the tranquility of the room.

"The king of Beiyang is resourceful and shrewd. If you cover up too much, you will let him sniff out the clues." As Yan Yilan said, she let go of Jiang Ningzui, turned around and sat down at the table, and said methodically: "As long as you hide the truth In the past few days, everything will be easy for him.”

Hearing that Yan Yilan seemed to have plans, Jiang Ningzui looked sideways and asked, "How many days?" What she asked was a time limit.

Yan Yilan said: "When King Wu returned to Beijing."

"Have you thought it through?" Jiang Ningzui worriedly said: "If King Wu returns to Beijing, then things will go according to King Beiyang's plan. At that time, King Beiyang will be like a knife, but you will be a fish, There is no chance of winning this game.”

Jiang Ningzui's worry was palpable, but Yan Yilan just smiled, her enchanting brows and eyes were a little wild, and there was a courage to turn things around in her eyes. "I'm waiting for King Wu."

"You mean..." Jiang Ning was stunned drunk, as if enlightened, she suddenly realized. "The reason why you agreed to the marriage of King Beiyang is that you are deliberately delaying the time until King Wu returns to Beijing?"

Seeing Jiang Ningzui's puzzled yet comprehensible expression as expected, Yan Yilan smiled as an admission: "That's right."

Jiang Ning frowned drunk, "Since King Wu can choose to return to Beijing at this time, he must have benefited from King Beiyang, otherwise he has no need to take this risk. If the two of them reach a certain consensus, the conditions given by King Beiyang It must be tempting. In this way, how could King Wu choose to abandon King Beiyang and stand by your side? Don’t forget, for Dayan’s throne, the person King Wu most wants to get rid of is not the prince, but you .”

"Although King Wu is thoughtful, it's a pity that he has a fatal weakness." Yan Yilan's eyes are amazingly bright, "He has a deep city, but he is suspicious."

This time, Jiang Ningzui finally understood.

Although King Wu ventured back to Beijing according to Yang Xuanlin's instructions, but with his style of conduct, he must be on guard. I am afraid that Yang Xuanlin is just inviting the king into the urn. After he can be captured, he will perform a good show of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha , in order to win Yan Yilan's favor.

After all, over the years, everyone in the world has no idea about Yang Xuanlin's thoughts on Yan Yilan. If Yan Yilan marries to Yang Kingdom in the future, if things go on like this, when Yan Yilan sits on the Queen's seat of Yang Kingdom, she will be the queen of Yang Kingdom. Yang Guo gradually gained power, how effective were the conditions that Yang Xuanlin promised King Wu at the beginning?King Wu is not stupid, so he can naturally figure out the pros and cons of it. Therefore, in his heart, it may be very complicated at this time.

On the one hand, he desperately hoped that Yan Yilan would marry far away from the Yang Kingdom. From then on, the Yan Kingdom would have no leader, and Yan Junyao, who was just a baby, would naturally not be able to achieve anything.But on the other hand, he was also worried that Yan Yilan's influence in the Yang Kingdom would slowly grow. She was devoted to paving the way for Yan Junyao so far, so naturally she had no plans to support another master. This king of Wu must not last long.

Therefore, among the crowd, King Wu is probably the most indecisive person today.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ningzui analyzed: "So, you want to use King Wu's suspicion to create estrangement and suspicion between him and King Beiyang?"

"For a country, rather than holding its destiny in the hands of others, it is better to control it in its own hands. If you don't want to be controlled by others, you must enrich its wings, expand its strength, and unite the people. Only with The power to be countered by other countries can truly not be threatened and coveted." The aura between Yan Yilan's brows was sharp, with a sharp murderous aura, which made people dare not look directly at it. "Believe it, the King of Wu coincides with me."

Perhaps at the beginning, the purpose of releasing the news of Concubine Zhao's death in the palace was to lure King Wu back to Beijing.But Yan Yilan was clearly aware of the trick, but she didn't stop her, she made up King Wu's plan from the very beginning.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ningzui frowned slightly, and said calmly: "Is this chess game of the eldest princess too risky?"

Yan Yilan smiled flirtatiously, with a bit of arrogance, "To deal with King Beiyang, there is no other way but to see the tricks."

Jiang Ningzui was still worried: "This time, how sure is the eldest princess?"

Yan Yilan shook her head with a broken smile, and said, "It's less than [-]%." As Yan Yilan said, her smiling eyes turned silent, glowing with a cold brilliance under the candlelight. "If you can't get what you want in this life, it's better to give it a go. Even if you lose, it will be regarded as an explanation to the world."

Jiang Ningzui remained silent, she looked at Yan Yilan with a dazed expression, but she became firm in an instant. "You won't lose."

Even if there is only a [-]% chance of winning, I will do my best to get the remaining half for you.
