Fingers of crossing

The Qiluan Palace was quiet. After Jiang Ningzui asked, the huge palace became even more silent.

"..." It was rare for Yan Yilan to be so drunk by Jiang Ning that she had nothing to say, her face was hidden behind the curtain of the bed and she couldn't see clearly, so she said lightly after a long time: "You light the lamp first."

Jiang Ningzui did not expect that Yan Yilan, who has always been fearless, would be afraid of the dark. She still remembered the indifference and determination in Yan Yilan's eyes when the assassin was assassinating that day. Couldn't stand the darkness.

Yan Yilan with such a strong contrast is really...somewhat intriguing.

After groping to light the lamp, Jiang Ningzui turned around and looked at Yan Yilan on the bed, her lips were slightly pursed into a faint smile, her brows and eyes were still cold, but without the usual indifference, she teased softly: "It's really useless. "

Really powerless to refute, Yan Yilan replied feebly and didn't answer, suddenly felt that she had disliked Jiang Ningzui so many times, and it was the first time that she had disliked her.

"Not yet."

Jiang Ningzui was standing by the bed and hesitating. Hearing Yan Yilan's words, Jiang Ningzui just looked at her coldly, her face full of suspicion.

Seeing the meaning in Jiang Ningzui's eyebrows, Yan Yilan sneered softly, and jokingly said: "What else can I do to you now?" Saying that, Yan Yilan raised her tightly bandaged left hand, Jiang Ningzui shook her eyes, raised her eyebrows in displeasure, "Do you expect me to use this hand, or the other?"

Yan Yilan's words revealed naked hints, she was simply... more open-minded than Jiang Ningzui, a modern person.Wishing she could go up and shut Yan Yilan's mouth, Jiang Ningzui gave her a cold look and ignored her, but followed her words and walked over, returning to the inner side of the bed.

Just as Jiang Ningzui lay down, she suddenly saw Yan Yilan propped up slightly, immediately enveloping her in a shadow.Yan Yilan's innate sense of oppression hit her imperceptibly, like a huge net, trapping Jiang Ningzui in it, locking it tighter and tighter.

Jiang Ningzui's expression froze, and she was about to get up to push back, but she saw Yan Yilan sensed her panic, gave her a funny look, and a bewitching smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.Stretching out her hands to spread out the quilt folded behind Jiang Ningzui, Yan Yilan pulled it out mercilessly, and threw her head on Jiang Ningzui, as if punishing her for her previous misunderstanding and panic.

A few threads struggled out of the heavy silk quilt, and Jiang Ningzui looked up again to see Yan Yilan lying down with her clothes on, her long black hair scattered on the bed, and her crimson palace dress outlining her figure. Charming and coquettish.

The night wind in the deep winter blows into the spacious bedroom through the gap in the window, the candlelight sways with the wind, and the dim light flickers erratically. The enchanting look on his face.

Jiang Ningzui has never shared a bed with anyone since she was sensible, and now she is sleeping next to Yan Yilan, although the two of them didn't have much physical contact, it still made her feel uncomfortable for a while.She secretly raised her eyes to look at Yan Yilan, but found that she was breathing lightly, maybe she was really tired, so she just fell asleep with all her clothes on.

And remembering her previous misunderstanding, Jiang Ningzui's face felt slightly hot, she looked down at the heavy quilt on her body, hesitated for a while, then grabbed a corner of the quilt hesitantly, and covered it for Yan Yilan.

Yan Yilan didn't move, thinking this time, she really fell asleep.

It was already late at night, Jiang Ningzui lay down beside Yan Yilan slowly, without any sleepiness.

In the dark, Jiang Ningzui's fingertips lightly touched Yan Yilan's hand. She was stunned for a moment, and just about to pull away, she found that Yan Yilan was still asleep, without any reaction.She lowered her eyes slightly, and saw that the long hair of the two had fallen apart, and she didn't know who belonged to whom. She lowered her eyebrows so as not to look at Yan Yilan's face, but she could feel each other's aura clearly.

Although Jiang Ningzui never mentioned the past days, she never wanted to leave here and return to the place she should go back to.But this is the first time that Jiang Ningzui suddenly has nostalgia for this world, she has never been so clearly aware of her feelings like this moment.

It's a pity that she has always played the role of a thief, stealing all the tenderness that does not belong to her.The most ridiculous thing is that she clearly knows that all the care and love she has received are fake, but she still gets into the drama unknowingly.To this world, as far as Yan Yilan is concerned, she is just an uninvited guest, who just borrowed the body of the princess and enjoyed the gentle treatment that did not belong to her.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Ningzui felt that she was indeed ridiculous and shameful.

They were destined not to meet each other, Yan Yilan always had another person in her heart, and she was destined to keep this secret in her heart for the rest of her life, unable to speak or spit it out, slowly growing into a cancerous tumor in her heart, Congealed into bone-deep wounds.Thinking about it, a burst of fatigue came to her heart, Jiang Ningzui closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

Dawn is approaching, perhaps it is the habit of going to court for many years, no matter how tired Yan Yilan is, she still wakes up consciously at this moment.

Jiang Ningzui next to her was still asleep, but she didn't sleep soundly. The silk quilt was wide enough to cover both of them. Jiang Ningzui was lying on her side facing her, her face was covered with black silk, showing the excessive facial expression on her face. Pale and cold.

Even when she was asleep, Jiang Ningzui's face was still not too gentle, like an iceberg that would not melt for thousands of years.

Yan Yilan was funny, she sat up just now, obviously her movements were extremely gentle and careful, but still woke up Jiang Ningzui who had always been a light sleeper.

Jiang Ningzui's usually clear eyes were stained with the haze of just waking up, and her expression was rarely lazy. She raised her eyes to look at Yan Yilan, and before she could speak, she saw Yan Yilan lift up the quilt covering her body , tucked up the quilt for Jiang Ning's drunkenness, and said softly: "It's still early, you don't have to get up."

"Where are you going?"

Yan Yilan was still a little unsteady when she stood up, she swayed and barely stopped, she turned her head and said, "Shenyan Pavilion."

Shenyan Pavilion has always been the place where Yan Yilan reviewed memorials and dealt with political affairs. Jiang Ning knew that Yan Yilan must be concerned about state affairs when she heard the news, she frowned and said, "You can't even take care of your body because of your current state. How do you get distracted and deal with state affairs?"

"The crown prince has little experience in dealing with government affairs. He alone cannot control those old foxes in the court."

Jiang Ningzui wanted to persuade her again, but she knew that the government was changing rapidly, and she had no reason to be able to persuade Yan Yilan, because she couldn't afford the consequences, neither could Yan Yilan, and no one could afford it.

Jiang Ningzui no longer tried to dissuade her, but sat up and said, "It's windy outside, you're hurt, so don't move around." Just so happened that Biyuan entered the palace to wait for Yan Yilan to clean up, and Jiang Ningzui turned her head and ordered, "Biyuan, order someone to bring the memorial to Qiluan Hall, and the eldest princess will review it in the hall."

Biyuan was a little hesitant at first, but seeing that Yan Yilan didn't make a sound to stop her, she listened to the order and said, "Yes."

"Also, the princess's medicine will be ready and delivered as soon as possible, and the medicine for trauma should not be delayed."

Hearing Jiang Ningzui's orderly order, Biyuan smiled lightly, nodded repeatedly and said, "I remember it."

After explaining to Bi Yuan, Jiang Ningzui turned her head and saw Yan Yilan was leaning against the screen and looking at her, her phoenix eyes were smiling, and there were three thousand peach blossoms outside the window, which was no match for the beauty in her eyes.Yan Yilan's gaze was playful, and she said with a soft smile: "It's really rare that the Crown Princess would care so much about me."

Jiang Ningzui heard the words, frowned and said: "Princess, don't get me wrong, I'm just..."

"Because I saved you, isn't it?" Yan Yilan lazily interrupted, she tilted her head to look at Jiang Ningzui, her face full of teasing and carelessness. "I know, you don't have to mention it over and over again."

All words were blocked by Yan Yilan, Jiang Ningzui was annoyed for a while, she still didn't show much expression on the surface, she glanced at Yan Yilan indifferently, turned around and randomly picked a book from the bookshelf, sat by the window and flipped through it. It seemed that she was too lazy to talk to Yan Yilan.

While the incense was curling up, more than an hour passed silently.

Jiang Ningzui has been sitting quietly by the window, only when Yan Yilan is drinking and changing her medicine, she slowly raises her head and casts her cold eyes on Yan Yilan until she confirms that Yan Yilan has taken the medicine, She just lowered her head indifferently, and reopened the book resting between her legs, the atmosphere was rare and quiet, Yan Yilan would cough lightly from time to time, Jiang Ningzui listened too much, her mind was always disturbed by Yan Yilan , I can't sink my heart, so naturally I can't read the book.She stood up, went to the screen and took off Yan Yilan's fox-fur cloak, then folded it back and put it on for Yan Yilan. Speaking, there was a rapid knock on the door first.

Yan Yilan said in a low voice, "Come in."

Bi Yuan walked into the hall quickly, and said in a dignified voice: "The King of Wu just sent someone to send a message, saying that there was a civil strife in Eastern Chu. The King of Wu was very worried, so he planned to leave in two days." Bi Yuan said, looking up. He glanced at Yan Yilan, then quickly lowered his eyes. "Wu Wang wants to host a banquet in the palace tomorrow, I wonder if His Highness will allow it?"

Yan Yilan closed the last memorial, she closed her eyes, then opened them with deep eyes, and said: "Since King Wu is leaving, it is natural to hold a banquet for him to see him off." Thinking, Yan Yilan paused After a pause, "Go and ask the Empress if she is willing to participate, and the prince will also send someone to inform him that he will be fully responsible for hosting the banquet."

Bi Yuan listened to the order to back down, but Jiang Ningzui felt lingering fear.

Jiang Ningzui had been in contact with King Wu before, so she naturally knew that he was not a good opponent. Compared with Yan Junyao and Yan Junhe, King Wu was obviously someone who should be dealt with more carefully.And he would choose to hold a banquet at this time, apparently to bid farewell to return to East Chu, but in fact he still just wanted to find out the truth.

If Yan Yilan doesn't show up, then King Wu has harbored evil intentions for a long time, so why wouldn't he take action?But if Yan Yilan came forward, how could she be able to hide from the eyes of King Wu and everyone based on her current body?

"Don't be afraid."

Jiang Ning regained her composure, and after hearing Yan Yilan's words, she knew that she must have misunderstood the reason for her silence, thinking that she was afraid of King Wu.She shook her head, but before she could explain anything, her fingertips were suddenly held by someone, and her cold hands immediately fell into a burst of warmth.Looking down and seeing Yan Yilan lightly holding her hand, Jiang Ningzui was in a mess and wanted to pull out her hand, but when she saw Yan Yilan's eyes full of tenderness covered by her long eyelashes, she forgot move.

Putting the stove in Jiang Ningzui's palm, Yan Yilan's face rarely concealed the looseness and banter of the past, showing a deep tenderness.

With a very shallow laugh, Yan Yilan lightly shook Jiang Ningzui's palm, and said dotingly: "I will be by your side." I will definitely not let you suffer any harm.
