Fingers of crossing

Today's night is particularly quiet, there seems to be no sound in Fengyi Palace.

Jiang Ningzui has always been a light sleeper, and now she is tossing and turning, seeing the time has passed in a blink of an eye, but she still did not see Yan Yilan go back to the dormitory to rest.

Looking aimlessly at the boundless darkness above her head, Jiang Ningzui was not sleepy, and her heart became uneasy for no reason.

In a trance, I suddenly heard a faint movement from outside the hall, which disturbed the night crow perched on the ancient tree at the entrance of the hall, and made a sound of fluttering its wings and humming.

Jiang Ningzui sat up abruptly, and as expected, she saw the faint light of fire reflected on the window lattice outside the hall. Just as she got out of bed, she heard a rapid knock on the door outside the hall, followed by the sound of Qingfu opening the door.

"Princess Concubine." Wearing a plain cloak, Bi Yuan quickly walked in from the side hall, saluted and said, "Something happened in Fengyi Palace tonight. There are already guards guarding the outside of Luan Hall, please don't leave the hall."

Jiang Ningzui didn't have time to chew on the instructions in Biyuan's words, she just frowned and asked coldly: "Where is the eldest princess?"

Bi Yuan said: "Prince Princess, don't worry, everything is fine, Your Highness."

Looking at the flames that quickly lit up outside, Jiang Ningzui knew that the guards had already filled the entire Qiluan Palace at this time, and she asked again: "What happened?"

Bi Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then said truthfully: "Chizhu recruited people to plot against in Fengyi Palace tonight, and was seriously injured. At this time, the imperial doctor is treating her." Bi Yuan paused, and then said: "But don't worry, the princess. , the assassin has captured it, and the eldest princess is now personally interrogating her."

Chi Zhu?

Jiang Ningzui's brain suddenly ached, something flashed through her mind, but when she wanted to explore it carefully, she couldn't catch anything.

She still remembered that night when Chi Zhu was transferred to Fengyi Palace, Yan Yilan asked her if she didn't kill Chi Zhu, and whether she would blame her.It's a pity that Jiang Ningzui didn't have much interest in Chi Zhu's affairs at that time, so she naturally forgot to ask Yan Yilan, why did she do this?

Confused, Jiang Ningzui vaguely knew that this matter was not simple, but she couldn't guess what Yan Yilan was thinking, and had no way of guessing.Thinking about it, she withdrew and sat on the chair beside her, and said to Bi Yuan: "I know about this matter, you can step back."

Bi Yuan nodded, and before she left, she couldn't help but give Jiang Ningzui a worried look, and said: "Please remember Your Highness's words, and don't take half a step out of Qiluan Palace."

The dignified expression on Biyuan's face did not seem to be fake, Jiang Ningzui said calmly: "I understand."

After a sleepless night, the incense in the Zijin incense burner was burned to the end, Jiang Ningzui sat on the chair indifferently, looking at the scene of the fire shining outside the window silently, her indifferent face was smudged by the burning light, she couldn't tell real.

The night gradually receded from the window, the candles in the Qiluan Hall gradually extinguished, and all the brilliance faded away. The morning light slowly came in from the hollow carved door, shining so that the dust in the air jumped in the sight among.

Unknowingly sitting at dawn, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, especially clear in the quiet hall.Jiang Ningzui's body was still a little stiff after sitting drunk all night, she stood up with the armrests of the soft couch, when the door of the temple was opened by Qingfu from the inside, and Biyuan's figure came into view again.

Still wearing the plain clothes from yesterday, Bi Yuan walked into the hall. She first saluted Jiang Ningzui, then turned her head to signal the palace servants waiting outside the door to come in, and took the food boxes in her hands one by one. placed on the table.

"Princess Concubine didn't sleep all night?" Looking at Jiang Ningzui's haggard face, she said worriedly: "Princess Concubine's body hasn't recovered yet, so don't toss and break her body."

Looking at the palace people who filed in from outside the palace, Jiang Ningzui waited silently for them to arrange the food boxes in a well-trained manner. It was not until they were ordered to retreat that Jiang Ningzui looked at Bi Yuan and asked, " Is there any result for the eldest princess to torture the assassin?"

Jiang Ningzui's eyes were cold, and Bi Yuan didn't know how to look at her for a moment. After a long silence, Bi Yuan raised her head and said, "I don't know the details very well, I only know that the assassin has been recruited last night, so it's accepted." Instigated by the Sixth Prince. His Highness ordered Commander Zhao to conduct a thorough investigation of the Sixth Prince's Mansion overnight. In the dungeon of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, a remnant of the assassins who assassinated His Highness that day was found. If the stolen goods are taken together, the Sixth Prince may not be able to escape."

what?

Jiang Ningzui frowned, her indifferent face was full of disbelief, she suddenly felt a pain in her head, the more she thought through her heart, the more confused she felt.

The Sixth Prince clearly wanted to submit to Yan Yilan, and she secretly ordered the Sixth Prince to investigate the matter of the assassin, and now the Sixth Prince lived up to her expectations and secretly arrested the assassins, everything was within her plan In the middle, why did she backhand give the Sixth Prince a fatal blow at this critical moment?

Yan Yilan, what are you planning?

Her heart tightened suddenly, as if she was trying to understand something, Jiang Ningzui's face was too shocked to maintain her usual calmness, her heart felt sharp and painful, and she walked involuntarily outside the hall.

"Princess!"

Bi Yuan stopped Jiang Ningzui from going out, and said: "The princess cannot go out, the situation outside the palace is temporarily unknown, do you want to let the outside of the palace distract you?"

"She can't do this..." Said in a deep voice, Jiang Ningzui stared straight at the entrance of the hall, the anxiety and worry in her heart lingered, burning her heart bit by bit, the blood seemed to be all It poured into the top of the head, and it was difficult for the whole heart to return to calm. "If you do this, her weakness will be fully exposed."

The dungeon has not seen sunlight for a long time, and the place where the eyes can see is dim, and there are bursts of damp and decaying smell all around.

Outside the prison, all the accompanying palace people were screened away, and Yan Yilan walked into the prison alone, her palace attire swaying the floor, spreading out a strange crimson color.

Stopping in front of the last big cell, Yan Yilan opened the cell door, and through the twilight from the high wall, she met Yan Junhe's gloomy eyes who turned her head after hearing the words.

Yan Junhe stood in the prison with his hands behind his back. The downfall in prison did not damage his handsomeness and arrogance. There was only silence in his eyes, which had always been unrestrained and flirtatious. Looking at Yan Yilan's figure bending into the prison, his eyes There was a trace of cruelty.

Yan Yilan's crimson clothes were so gorgeous that it set off her ink-like eyes that were strange and deep, and made people tremble with coldness. She looked at Yan Junhe from top to bottom, and Yan Yilan smiled aloofly. "Do you know, why is it you?"

A trace of resentment flashed faintly in his eyes, Yan Junhe smiled slightly on his handsome face, and said: "Regarding this point, my brother is also very puzzled."

The smile in Yan Yilan's eyes was fleeting, and was replaced by a sharp edge frozen three feet: "Because you are too eager for quick success, and you are unwilling to give up any benefits, so you are vacillating between Ben Gong and King Wu. I have tried my best, but I still dare not put all my eggs in one basket and choose a side."

Hearing the name of King Wu, Yan Junhe's heart was shocked, he looked at Yan Yilan in surprise, knowing that his thoughts had been revealed, he panicked at first, then stopped covering it up, and said in a deep voice: "When did Miss Huang know about it? "

"From the very beginning, I knew that you were secretly colluding with the King of Wu, including your false allegiance to the crown prince. This Palace knew all about it. Later, you followed the arrangement of King Wu and performed a good show of betrayal for this Palace. From then on, I can no longer keep you anymore." Yan Yilan said, looking at Yan Junhe with pity, and said with a smile: "I don't even believe myself, so how could I believe your clumsy lies?"

As if being poked at a sore spot, most of the arrogance in Yan Junhe's eyes was broken, and he raised his voice: "In this case, how could Miss Huang not know that I did not do what happened to Chi Zhu today?"

That's right, no matter how many secrets Chi Zhu holds about King Wu and him, no one is stupid enough to scare the snake at this juncture, what's more, he would sneak into Yan Yilan's Fengyi Palace to kill people.

Doing so is obviously a frame-up.

"I know." As if feeling that the humidity in the dungeon was too heavy, Yan Yilan lowered her head and casually squeezed her wet sleeves, and said, "I also know about Chi Zhu, and even the previous Assassin Party It's not from you, but from King Wu's idea."

Yan Junhe said angrily, "Then why...?"

"But, is this very important?" Sheng Sheng cut off Yan Junhe's question, Yan Yilan's phoenix eyes were devoid of any emotion, the moment she looked at Yan Junhe, it almost made him feel that what he was looking at was not a human being, but something from hell Asura. "For this palace, getting rid of the people who really need to get rid of is the most important thing."

Yan Junhe took half a step back silently, all the hostility in his body dissipated, leaving only a burst of despair.

It turned out that half of his life was calculated by the agency. For the sake of prosperity and supreme power in the second half of his life, he did not hesitate to abandon his brotherhood with the prince.

"It's a wonderful move." Yan Junhe sneered a few times like a trapped beast, and said, "King Wu is really a man with a cruel heart, and he can even abandon his brothers and sisters who are all loyal to him at any time and anywhere."

At the beginning, King Wu secretly asked him to pretend to turn against Yan Yilan, just to test it out. If Yan Yilan wanted to get rid of the prince, then King Wu could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and use Yan Yilan's hand to eradicate the prince. .If Yan Yilan had no intention of getting rid of the prince, then Yan Junhe, a useless pawn in his eyes, could be discarded without any effort. Most importantly, he could use a useless pawn to find out Yan Yilan's true intentions As for the prince, should she kill or protect the prince?

"Sister Huang really has excellent acting skills. Not only has she deceived the prince these years, but even the king of Wu has also been fooled by her. The emperor has been pretending to be at odds with the prince, and she has dominated the government for many years and refused to return the prince. She just used this to test the court. In this way, it is clear at a glance which of the ministers in the court are enemies and which are friends. It is not necessary to check one by one. The trick of the imperial sister to invite you into the urn is really clever." Thinking, Yan Jun congratulated Looking sideways at Yan Yilan, he shook his head and sighed repeatedly: "It's a pity, it's a pity, the Imperial Sister's city government is very thoughtful, so what can I do? As long as the Royal Sister is still in control of the power for a day, the prince will never understand the Royal Sister King Wu will definitely use this to fight back, so what else can Miss Huang use to fight against King Wu?"

"You're a bit wrong." Yan Yilan smiled coldly, and said, "It's the common idea of ​​this Palace and the King of Wu to get rid of you."

Unexpectedly, Yan Yilan would say these words, Yan Junhe was terrified, and took a few steps back again and again, with an expression of disbelief.

"You are vacillating between me and King Wu, and neither side is willing to give up. What's the point of keeping such a person?" Yan Yilan shook her head, and said with pity in her eyes: "So this palace is just It’s nothing more than a favor to solve a useless pawn for the King of Wu, anyway, someone has to take the blame for the matter between Chi Zhu and the assassin.”

Yan Junhe's eyes widened, and the willful flair of the past faded away, leaving only ashes.He lowered his head in silence, and it took a long time before he smiled sullenly. His extremely cold voice echoed in the empty dungeon, which made people feel a little creepy.

"Up to now, I only want one thing, and I ask sister Huang to fulfill it." Yan Junhe raised his face as he spoke, smiling strangely. "I want Chi Wei."
