Fingers of crossing

After seven days, King Wu's troops finally arrived at the capital.

Jiang Ningzui counted the days, and now that what was really supposed to come was coming, she felt a little dazed again.

These days, Jiang Ningzui seldom has time to see Yan Yilan, not because of Yan Yilan's busy government affairs, but Yang Xuanlin takes up almost all of Yan Yilan's time, sometimes Jiang Ning Zui might be able to meet Yan Yilan at the banquet, but in such a hurry, all he saw was the kings of the two countries sitting side by side. Every time at this time, Jiang Ningzui couldn't help thinking that maybe she couldn't see Yan Yilan. Yilan, on the contrary, will feel much happier.

The early autumn wind blew past Jiang Ningzui's cheeks, and also pulled her back from her thoughts. Jiang Ningzui looked up and watched the magnolia flowers all over the tree falling with the wind. .

The warm wine on the table had already boiled out its aroma, Jiang Ning poured a glass of wine on her own, and the wine slid into her throat with a faint peach blossom aroma.

Obviously, she has never been a person who is sad when she sees things, but Jiang Ningzui somehow remembered the afternoon when she first crossed over today, the world was covered with white snow, and Yan Yilan was also sitting on the perch. In the courtyard of the Luan Hall, a pot of peach blossom wine was warmed and drank alone.

At that time, Jiang Ningzui never told Yan Yilan, and maybe she won't say it in the future. For a moment, Jiang Ningzui didn't feel drunk when she looked at Yan Yilan who was slightly drunk at that time.It was later discovered that the ancients said that a glance of ten thousand years was referring to such a scene.

Hearing the sound of footsteps not far away, Jiang Ningzui retreated into deep thought, fixed her eyes to look, but saw Yan Junyao striding from outside the hall, the emotions that rose slightly in her heart fell back to the original place unconsciously, Jiang Ning Zui looked silent, watching Yan Junyao walk in front of her without saying a word.

"I……"

Just as Yan Junyao opened his mouth, Jiang Ningzui looked up at him, and asked lightly, "Does the prince want a drink?"

"Ningzui, how can you still be so calm?" Yan Junyao looked at Jiang Ningzui in puzzlement, and said with a gloomy face: "Now that the king of Beiyang is taking the imperial sister by his side every day, I see the day when the two countries get married It's not far away, don't you feel it at all? Even if Sister Huang married Yang Guo, don't you care?"

Jiang Ning was drunk and didn't answer, she just turned her head and told Qing Fu: "Go get a wine glass for the prince."

"Ningzui!" Seeing Jiang Ningzui's ignorance, Yan Junyao shook his sleeves and said angrily, "Have you forgotten how Sister Huang has treated you all these years? You used to put life and death aside for Sister Huang , why don't you ask me any more now?"

Jiang Ningzui smiled indifferently, and she said: "So what can I do if I ask? Now that King Beiyang and King Wu are cooperating, apart from the eldest princess, is there any other way to calm this disaster?"

"If the throne needs to be obtained by sacrificing the imperial sister, then what's the point of this country's existence?" Yan Junyao clenched his hands tightly and said, "I've often thought these days, if that's the case, it's better to give this country away." It is a joy to give the throne to the King of Wu, at least I will not lose the imperial sister again, at least the Yan Kingdom will no longer be subject to the Yang Kingdom."

After Yan Junyao finished speaking, Jiang Ningzui smiled slightly, and he said angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

When Yan Junyao asked such a question, Jiang Ning's drunken smile became more elegant, and she said: "It's nothing, but after hearing what the prince said today, I feel that everything the eldest princess has paid for the prince over the years is worth it after all."

Hearing Jiang Ningzui's words, Yan Junyao felt uncomfortable instead, his expression changed, his voice was deliberately cold, and he explained bluntly: "I just don't want to owe her too much."

At this time, Qingfu happened to take the wine glass and came back. Jiang Ningzui took the glass and filled a glass of wine for Yan Junyao, saying: "Whether it is now or four years ago, the eldest princess has never relied on These few angry words. Instead of coming to me to say these emotional words, the prince should put himself in his place and think about how to take back the world from the hands of King Beiyang and King Wu. I think this is very important for the eldest princess and the whole world. For Yan Guo, this is the most urgent matter."

After drinking the wine Jiang Ningzui sent in one breath, Yan Junyao calmed down just now. He sat down again, looked at Jiang Ningzui with a strange expression, and asked, "Ningzui, is it true that the emperor will marry one day?" Yang Guo, can you still be so indifferent?"

"There won't be such a day." Jiang Ning's drunken voice was as light as smoke, but with a decisive momentum. "She once said that, so I believed in her, and I would do it for her no matter what."

Jiang Ningzui is cold by nature, her heart is like a quiet lake, without any waves, so her words are always indifferent and calm.But what she said now, in the plain words, every word seems to be able to hit the ground and clank.

Yan Junyao was stunned, his heart trembled, but he didn't know if it was because of Jiang Ningzui's words, or because of her unusual and strong feelings for Yan Yilan.

I wanted to say something, but I saw Bi Yuan coming from outside the palace, saluting to the two of them: "My servant pays homage to the prince and princess."

"Get up." Swallowing the words in his heart, Yan Junyao asked, "What's the matter?"

Biyuan glanced at Yan Junyao, then at Jiang Ningzui, and finally looked at Yan Junyao and said, "Going back to the prince, Princess Qi Yue is looking for you to meet in the Royal Garden."

"This..." Yan Junyao looked at Jiang Ningzui with a hesitant expression on his face, dodging Jiang Ningzui's eyes, as if he wanted to cover up but knew he couldn't escape Jiang Ningzui's eyes.

With a slight smile, Jiang Ning said clearly, "In this case, I won't let the prince sit for a long time."

After seeing off Yan Junyao, Jiang Ningzui stopped the smile on her lips, looked sideways at Bi Yuan, and said, "Let's talk."

Knowing that Jiang Ningzui saw through her intention to send Yan Junyao away first, Bi Yuan no longer concealed it, and said bluntly: "The King of Beiyang left His Highness to eat alone, tonight I'm afraid..."

After waving her hand, Jiang Ningzui interrupted Bi Yuan. She looked at the early autumn scenery in the courtyard, her eyes and brows were indifferent, and her voice became colder and colder. "I see."

Ningzui, I'm afraid that these days, I will wrong you.

Thinking of what Yan Yilan said to her when she was alone with Yan Yilan for the last time a few days ago, Jiang Ningzui's eyes were gloomy, and there were subtle emotions in her lacquered eyes. She wanted to say something, but another Words are not willing to speak.

Yan Junyao just asked her if she really didn't care that Yan Yilan was alone with Yang Xuanlin these days.

She has kept it from everyone in the world, so she is probably the only one who knows. Every time she hears this, she feels unhappy in her heart.

No one would be happy that their lover is taken over by others, of course Jiang Ningzui is, but the reality just doesn't allow her to say no, besides, even if she did say no, in the end it's only Yan Yilan who makes things difficult.

She can embarrass herself, and everyone else, but she doesn't know how to embarrass Yan Yilan.

Silently looking back from the scenery, Jiang Ningzui glanced at Bi Yuan beside him who was hesitant to speak, and said, "Tell the eldest princess, don't bother me." As she spoke, she seemed to feel especially puzzled, and Jiang Ningzui couldn't help but He added another sentence, "Finally, wish her a happy meal for me."

After all, leaving behind Bi Yuan who was stunned for a long time and couldn't come back, Jiang Ning got up drunk and walked to the inner hall alone.

In the Qiluan Hall, Bi Yuan replied to Yan Yilan what Jiang Ningzui had said, and of course, Bi Yuan also truthfully narrated the last sentence.

The princess also said, I wish Your Highness... a pleasant meal.

It seemed to be something that Jiang Ningzui would say, Yan Yilan thought, she couldn't help curling her lips, and looked at the calm Yang Xuanlin above the main hall, Yan Yilan's smile faded, indicating that Bi Yuan stepped back.

The huge hall returned to dead silence again, Yang Xuanlin sipped the wine silently, turned his head to look at Yan Yilan's enchanting and picturesque side face, and asked: "Wu Wang will come to the city in less than three days, Feng Yi, are you still waiting?" When do you want to delay it?"

Shaking the Linlang wine glass in her hand, Yan Yilan smiled beautifully and coldly, and she said: "You know me, I always have a clear distinction between gains and losses in life and things, and I never want to wrong myself."

"Don't play tricks with the lonely king, Feng Yi, and don't continue to consume the lonely king's patience with you." Yang Xuanlin frowned, and said with a gloomy face: "You should know that you are not qualified to negotiate terms with the lonely king. .”

Yan Yilan sneered and said, "Really? The King of Beiyang doesn't believe me, do I dare to let the whole Yan Kingdom be buried with me?" Looking at Yang Xuanlin's hesitant expression with cold eyes, Yan Yilan was not afraid that he would become more and more sinister "Besides, it's just two conditions, whether it's worth it or not. It won't be too late for King Beiyang to decide after hearing it."

Yang Xuanlin didn't speak, as if he was considering the true meaning of Yan Yilan's words, his black obsidian eyes locked Yan Yilan tightly, as if he wanted to shackle her in his eyes.

"First, King Wu's army is not allowed to enter the capital, and can only be stationed outside the city gate." Yan Yilan said, her eyelids slightly closed, and eyelashes cast deep shadows. She was silent for a moment, looking Looking at the blue-gray sky outside the window, his eyes are distant and lonely. "Second, let her out of the palace."

Perhaps it was Yan Yilan's eyes that always concealed emotions, the emotions revealed at this moment were too complicated, Yang Xuanlin was in a daze for a moment, and then realized who the "she" in Yan Yilan's words was referring to.

That's right, in today's world, apart from Jiang Ningzui, who else can make Yan Yilan show such a powerless expression?

"Are you willing to let her go?" Mingming finally got what he wished for and removed his serious worry from Yan Yilan's life, but Yang Xuanlin couldn't be happy at this moment, perhaps because he knew that even if Jiang Ning could let Jiang Ning Drunk disappears, but she will always live in Yan Yilan's heart. "The lonely king thought that you would spend the last moment with the lonely king for her."

Yan Yilan smiled self-deprecatingly, but her aloof eyes were full of helplessness at this moment. "She always looks calm and calm, but in fact she is very innocent in one aspect, especially to me." Speaking of this, Yan Yilan felt as if a sharp sword pierced her heart, and the sudden pain forced her to Frowning, she said with a lonely smile: "I lied to her that I would never marry, and she believed me when I said so."

As a king, Yang Xuanlin believed that he never hesitated or regretted everything he did, but at this moment, when Yan Yilan said these words, he suddenly felt dull, as if He has worked hard for one thing for a long time, but he is destined not to get a word of approval and praise from his beloved.

But that was just a thought, none of these could compare to his strong feelings for Yan Yilan, he wanted Yan Yilan, the possessive desire was so strong, nothing in the world could stop him.After waiting for so many years, he has run out of patience.

"Okay, the lonely king can promise you." Yang Xuanlin said: "When the matter is done, it will be the day you marry the lonely king. At that time, you will never be able to escape."
