Fingers of crossing

The sky was overcast, and the heavy rain that had lasted for several days silently and oppressively enveloped the entire palace.

The rainy air always has a clammy and cold atmosphere, obviously it's just past noon, but because of the heavy rain clouded outside the window, the inside of the hall is dark and gloomy, only the hanging palace lanterns are swaying and swaying, and the light is also flickering.

The Qiluan Hall was quiet, Jiang Ningzui was sitting by the window making tea, her brows and eyes were filled with tea mist, she looked very elegant.She looked down at Yan Yilan who was on the soft couch beside her, and looked at her pale and tired face, she unconsciously pursed the corners of her mouth, a look of worry flashed in her eyes.

Rainy days are the most humid and cold, coupled with the repeated spring seasons, the warmth has not returned for a long time, Yan Yilan's shoulder injury encountered such weather, and began to ache again.

Yan Yilan was lying on the stove in her arms, leaning listlessly on the soft couch, with one hand resting on her forehead, and the other hand flipping through the memorials placed on the table, the hazy yellow light reflected on her side face Her delicate eyebrows and eyes are traced on the face, like a blurred splash-ink painting.

Standing up, she took the shawl from the screen and put it on for Yan Yilan, Jiang Ningzui silently picked up the memorial in her hand, closed it softly, put it on the table where she couldn't reach, and said: "The tea is ready. "

Jiang Ningzui was probably the only one who could express her concerns and worries so implicitly and coldly. Yan Yilan was a little amused, but she didn't refute anything, and sat up according to her words.

Jiang Ningzui sat back at the table and poured tea methodically, her expression was hazy through the mist.She handed the teacup to Yan Yilan, thought for a while, and said, "I heard from Biyuan that the side concubine is still waiting outside the palace."

Yan Yilan acted as if she had never heard of it, she turned the teacup lightly with her fingertips, a meaningful smile slowly appeared on her lips, and she sipped the hot tea with her head up.

The three-day period has passed, Jiang Ningzui has no movement here, and there is no room for change in Chi Wei's matter, but it is a pity that Yan Yilan has not sentenced Chi Wei for a long time, so there is a lot of discussion in the court for a while. There are countless guesses in the monarch's mind, but no one can understand it.

Liu Huanxue has been waiting outside Fengyi Palace since morning, and now it has been more than two hours, she seems determined to ask Yan Yilan to see her, even Yan Junyao came to persuade her to no avail.However, the Liu family behind Liu Huanxue has always been attached to the prince. Regardless of other things, just because of the current situation of Yan Yilan and Yan Junyao, with Liu Huanxue's status, it is so easy to ask to see Yan Yilan?

Everyone said that Liu Huanxue was seeking his own death.Not to mention the price she would have to pay for making such a fuss today, she might not be able to get away with the matter of Chi Wei if it were to be settled.Now, not only does he not know how to restrain himself, but he is becoming more and more disciplined. If this kind of behavior is not arrogant and domineering because of the prince's favor, then he must be crazy.

Jiang Ningzui still remembered what Yan Yilan said three days ago, she said that Chi Wei must die.Maybe she still had a lot of doubts at the beginning, but at this moment she vaguely understood.

Although Jiang Ningzui was not born in this era, nor has she ever been exposed to the life of an official family, but she knows one thing, no matter whether it is performed in a TV drama or recorded in a history book, since ancient times, there has never been a master who would do it for a mere Liu Huanxue would not hesitate to give up her life if her servant went through fire and water like this, so Chi Wei's position in her heart must not be just as simple as a slave.

As for this relationship, Yan Yilan must have known about it a long time ago, that's why she didn't hesitate to take the step of killing them all.

Jiang Ningzui already had guesses in her heart, she came back to her senses, her eyes glanced across Yan Yilan's side face seemingly unintentionally, "Did the eldest princess know that their relationship is different?"

Yan Yilan closed her eyes, and her voice sounded quietly in the quiet Qiluan Palace: "Liu Huanxue has been in the palace for many years, and she has always followed the rules and done things well. When have you ever seen her be so chaotic?"

Indeed no.

Jiang Ningzui followed Yan Yilan's words and tried her best to recall. She remembered how calm and decent she was when she first met Liu Huanxue, and also remembered how cold and sharp Liu Huanxue was when she faced Cui Ying. Such a distraught look, as if the whole body has been taken out of the heart, and it will be broken if it is folded.

"Liu Huanxue and the crown prince have been separated for many years. It's not that I didn't know about it. Later, I heard that the crown prince had sent people out of the palace to investigate secretly, but none of the people who reported back got any results. They didn't even find out anyone who had too much personal relationship with Liu Huanxue." The tone of the tone. After a short pause, Yan Yilan smiled, and said: "A lady of great family, who doesn't leave the house without leaving the house, except for the servants who come and go in the Taiwei's mansion, what chance will she have to meet other people?"

The hand holding the teacup paused slightly, Jiang Ningzui silently swept in Yan Yilan's direction, the doubts in her heart gradually became clear, but what was waiting for her was not relief and relaxation, but heaviness. "That's why you chose to kill Chi Wei?" Jiang Ningzui thought for a while, then slowly shook her head and said, "If it's just to kill Chi Wei, you don't need to go through such a lot of trouble."

Glancing at Jiang Ningzui's calm analysis, Yan Yilan suddenly laughed softly, she nodded frankly, with great interest: "I have really grown up, and even dare to speculate on my thoughts at will."

Ignoring Yan Yilan's teasing, Jiang Ningzui just looked at Yan Yilan with a slight frown, feeling mixed feelings in her heart for a while.

The swaying lights in the hall are full of light on Yan Yilan's back, reflecting her charming crimson phoenix clothes, a burst of brilliance, but still can't warm the indifference and aloofness in her bones, it seems to remind everyone , Yan Yilan is just Yan Yilan, even if all her elegance is removed, she is still the decisive, cold-blooded and ruthless king.

From the very beginning, she set up such a game for today. In this game, Jiang Ningzui and herself are all her pawns. Each of their pawns is carefully selected, and their status is enough to convince everyone , they were attracted by the temptation, step by step into the trap arranged by her, first the sixth prince, then Chi Wei, if Jiang Ningzui guessed correctly, then the last person must be Liu Huanxue who is inextricably related to Liu Huanxue Taiwei.

Since ancient times, the power minister has made great achievements, and Liu Taiwei has been dormant by the prince's side for many years. These years, he has been using Liu Huanxue to stir up trouble in the palace and eradicate dissidents. His ambition is evident.When the crown prince ascends to the throne in the future, Liu Taiwei will become the number one official around the crown prince. At that time, if he wants to weaken his power, it may not be an easy task.That's why Yan Yilan chose Chi Wei, and took advantage of her status in Liu Huanxue's heart to force Liu Huanxue into chaos, so as to create an opportunity to eradicate them, and finally forced the Taiwei to abandon the car to protect the handsome.

Even though Liu Huanxue was able to rely on the protection of the prince to escape death, but Liu Huanxue lost Chi Wei, as if she had broken her arms and her vitality was seriously injured.According to her feelings for Chi Wei, not to mention continuing to work for the Taiwei in the palace, I am afraid that even how to accept this fact has become a problem.

Jiang Ningzui's heart suddenly brightened, but her eyebrows frowned more and more tightly. Yan Yilan looked at it carefully, as if she felt what Jiang Ningzui was thinking in her speechless gaze, she suddenly raised her head and smiled at Jiang Ningzui , the loneliness in his eyes seemed to melt from eternity.

"Are you afraid?" Yan Yilan lightly raised her chin by the candlelight, looked at her carefully, suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and said in a low voice: "I will include you in this chess game, you will be afraid, And it should."

Jiang Ningzui's heart was so tight that she couldn't breathe, her eyes lightly jumped over Yan Yilan's face, she still didn't dare to stare too much.

The person in front of him is both gentle and cruel, ruthless and affectionate. He has never had blood on his hands, but he has killed countless people. He is ruthless to his enemies and even more ruthless to himself.But it was such a cold-blooded king who would ask himself so lonely if he was afraid of her.

Jiang Ningzui's heart pulled out a burst of distress that even she herself felt unbelievable. She was obviously being counted, but she couldn't bear to be harsh.Jiang Ningzui may feel distressed for Yan Yilan's involuntary actions, Yan Yilan's foresight and foresight, for the sake of this turbulent country, but she is never afraid.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ningzui's eyes were slightly dull, she turned her head and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, she shook her head calmly and said, "I'm not afraid."

After waiting for Jiang Ningzui's words for a long time, Yan Yilan couldn't help turning her head to ask, but she saw Jiang Ningzui standing against the light, her plain clothes were dyed by candlelight, the cool wind blew through the window, and her complicated and intertwined skirt The silk belt between the pendulum and the arm is like smoke and illusion in the light halo.

Sensing Yan Yilan's gaze, Jiang Ningzui's expression remained calm, and she repeated: "I said I'm not afraid."

Although these words were spoken in a calm and bland manner, Yan Yilan could still hear the truth and falsehood in them.Jiang Ningzui said it was not strange, then it was really not strange.There are not many women in the world who can be so calm when they hear that they are being calculated and used, but Jiang Ningzui can do it.

Yan Yilan suddenly let go of Jiang Ningzui's chin, and lightly brushed Jiang Ningzui's warm cheek with her fingertips. She suddenly wanted to reach out and touch her, like a traveler who has been walking for too long in the cold night, impatiently thinking To absorb the only light of fire in the deep winter.Even if it is in a desperate way, even if it is just a small step towards her, it seems to be able to rescue her from the complete darkness.

Reaching out to grab Jiang Ningzui's wrist, this time Yan Yilan did not forcefully pull her to sit down, but gently pulled her with her movements.Jiang Ning stood in the same place drunkenly for a long time, but finally couldn't get rid of the faint smile on the corner of Yan Yilan's mouth, and followed her movements to sit beside her.

The hug was caught off guard, Yan Yilan hugged her from behind Jiang Ningzui, her hands seemed to not only encircle Jiang Ningzui's body, she just felt her heart being tightened, almost out of breath .

"do not move."

The temperature was transmitted to each other with the gesture of embracing each other. Jiang Ningzui should have refused, but under Yan Yilan's deep and hoarse order, she couldn't say a word, her reason gradually faded away, and she just let herself be with Yan Yilan. Yilan sat quietly.

"Actually, there is one thing that I wanted to know a few days ago." Yan Yilan rested her chin lightly on Jiang Ningzui's shoulder, her lips slightly turned to one side, and her breathing accompanied by the voice covered Jiang Ningzui's ears Pan, "Did you fall in love with me that day?"

"..."

Knowing that Yan Yilan was talking about that day when she dragged her down on the soft couch, and her breath blended and wiped out the gun, Jiang Ningzui's face was calm, but her body was visibly stiff.She turned her head and gave Yan Yilan a hard look, her cheek brushed against Yan Yilan's lips covering her ear, her heart was shocked and she quickly looked away.This time, she heard Yan Yilan laugh out loud.

"Otherwise, why haven't you dared to look at me in the past few days?"

You should never have any extravagant thoughts about Yan Yilan. Jiang Ningzui couldn't break away from Yan Yilan's hug, so she could only squint her eyes and look into the distance, her tone seemed to be frozen three feet, "I think, the feeling of the eldest princess There must have been a deviation again."

Yan Yilan buried herself on Jiang Ningzui's shoulder with a narrow smile, and was about to speak when she suddenly heard Bi Yuan knocking on the door outside the Qiluan Hall, saying: "Your Highness, the crown prince is seeking an audience outside the palace."

Hearing this, Yan Yilan said casually, "What's the matter?"

Yan Yilan's question was a little superfluous, the prince's request for an audience this time, what else could there be besides Liu Huanxue's matter?Jiang Ningzui was thinking about it, and then heard Biyuan reply through the door: "The prince wants to invite the princess to come out of the palace to see her."

Taking advantage of Yan Yilan's time of contemplation, Jiang Ningzui indifferently broke away from Yan Yilan's embrace, stood up, and rushed to the door and said, "Please wait a moment, Prince." Then, she lowered her head and gouged out Yan Yilan's eyes, and continued Said: "I'll be there soon."
