The door was pushed open, and when he stepped in, the sense of smell was first activated, and the room was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. He reached out and quietly closed the door behind him, and the moonlight fell all over the floor along the open window. Reflecting on the tables and chairs in the room, the person under the moonlight gently put down the teacup and said like an old friend, "You are here."

Jing Lan's eyes turned cold, and she pointed the sword at him, and the man raised his head to meet his killing intent calmly. "Long time no see, Prince Qingyuan."

"Where did you take Xiuwan?"

"Hong...Xiuwan..." The man stood up and turned his back to meet the faint moonlight. "Do you only care about others so far?"

"You have misunderstood the person, I am not Prince Qingyuan."

Cha Taibao lowered his head and laughed softly, "Your indifferent appearance reminds me of many things when I was young. At that time, I was about the same age as you, and you were the one sitting on the dragon chair." My father, it was the years when the flames of war continued, and I, together with Xiao and Song, accompanied the late emperor, fighting on the battlefield, desperately trying to lead the prosperity of the tea family."

"Now, aren't you very successful? The official worships the Taibao and leads hundreds of officials. Why do you still do such a thing?" When she said these words, Jinglan's eyes were full of regret. It should have been done when the first emperor was critically ill and Liu Hui was young. Why did he do such a thing after helping Liu Hui through such a difficult time? He couldn't understand.

"bet."

"bet?"

"In this life, I have already made a mark in history. Now I can even dictate to the red and blue families, but I still can't surpass that person. The late emperor has always been a person who values ​​strength. No matter how hard I try, Xiao, I can always do it. It takes me so much effort to surpass me, this is the so-called genius, but the ordinary me is so unwilling. The stupid bird flies first, and I have worked harder than ordinary people in exchange for my current status. Even if I am equal to him, but... I Still not as good as him."

"why……"

"Do you know?" Cha Taibao turned around and looked at him quietly, "All my efforts are for the tea family, for fame and fortune, for power, for these, I have worked hard all my life. But he is not, he He doesn't care about all of this, he is a person who is devoted to His Majesty wholeheartedly. So I am even more unwilling... I even lost my starting point to him."

Jing Lan still couldn't understand, it had nothing to do with Liu Hui.

"The person I hate the most in this world is Xiao. He exists only to laugh at my hard work and utilitarianism. I have everything now, and the only thing left is one thing." He reached out and opened the incense burner on the table, letting The aroma is more diffused. "That's Beyond Xiao."

The sandalwood in the room gradually became thicker, and it seemed to be mixed with other smells. She thought it was because he had dialed it, but Jinglan didn't care.

"Overtake him, defeat him, and see what kind of strategy he will use to protect the emperor he is loyal to. This is like a bet. I want to know who will lose and who will win between the emperor he loyally serves and the candidate I recommend. "

"Just to surpass him, so you are so beautiful and force Xiuwan out of the palace? And then threaten your majesty?"

He nodded, "It seems that this plan is not wise, and you actually hit the whole point."

"Why did you kidnap Miss, it should have nothing to do with her..."

"I underestimated Hong Xiuwan too much. The person she sent was easily spotted by her. Even the guards in the palace couldn't hurt her. What do you think I can do to make her fall into the trap? Liu Hui's weakness It's Hong Xiuwan, and our imperial concubine has only one weakness, of course I have to make good use of it."

"You are simply unreasonable!"

"I know you like Hong Xiuli, don't you see that I specifically told them not to hurt her? Become the emperor, no longer a servant. Even if you are the young lady of the Hong family, you can still marry her openly. "

The sword in his hand was clenched tightly by him, and Jinglan moved closer, "I said that I am not Prince Qingyuan, and I don't need to use such despicable means to get the person I like."

"You really look like your father back then. It was a memorable time, and you don't need to admit it yourself. When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty heard that Prince Qingyuan had returned, they would definitely applaud and support you. King's."

"Shut up! The emperor of Caiyun Kingdom can only be Liu Hui, have you forgotten what happened eight years ago?"

"Of course we won't repeat the mistakes of eight years ago, as long as His Majesty dies suddenly, now that he has no heirs, naturally he won't be afraid of being seized. You will be the best candidate, even if you don't want to admit your identity then, You may not be able to watch him destroy this country."

Hearing this, Jing Lan's expression changed, Liu Hui...does he want to kill him? "What did you do to Liu Hui?!" As he spoke, he held up his sword and was about to strike at him, but his head sank when he exerted force, and his body gradually became weak. Falling down, he took a breath, and his consciousness began to slacken a little, "If you dare to hurt a hair on him, I will definitely make you pay an even worse price." When he said this, his tone was heavy, which seemed very The tone of Liu Hui speaking while sitting on the throne.

Cha Taibao was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, smiled and reached out to touch his shoulder, "It seems that you still love this brother very much."

Brother, Jinglan lowered her head, thinking of that person's innocent smiling face when she was a child, even though she was covered in injuries, she could still smile when she saw him, she would softly call him Brother Huang, and hug him Sleeping child with arms.Liu Hui said that Brother Qingyuan was the only person who treated him well in the cold palace, and he was the only one who was willing to smile at him. Mother, the mother who only wanted to be favored by his father, and those who were full of jealousy Siblings, the palace was so indifferent to him.

In some sunny afternoons, he would sit in the shade of a tree and teach him to write and read to him. Occasionally, he would coquettishly nest in his arms, spending a lazy afternoon like a snoozing cat. That was about the only time he felt happy in the palace.

He was still so small that he could easily be lifted above his head.

Rather than saying that Liu Hui relied on him, it would be better to say that he was also relying on that person.

"Say! What exactly do you want to do to him!" Even though he has no strength, he still wants to protect the safety of that person.

"...It seems that in a short time, you still refuse to obediently ascend to the throne." Cha Taibao shook his head, stood up, waved his hand, and the door opened, and a figure stood quietly in the darkness.

"You are really getting older and more confused. Haven't you noticed the current situation? Liu Hui has gradually been accepted by others. Even if you push a puppet to the throne at this moment, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will agree?" Taking Qiuying as an example, the emperor has already been accepted.

Cha Taibao's eyes widened slightly. In fact, he already knew this, but he just didn't want to admit it. That man was becoming more and more like an emperor.Jinglan took a breath and said with a sneer, "My younger brother is not as stupid as you imagined, and I am not the obedient one you wished for. You...you will never try to win..."

Hearing this, Cha Taibao couldn't hold his breath any longer, "Hmph, I'm afraid the two you want to protect at this time have already made a pair of fateful couples! Come, someone, put him down!"

Jinglan heard footsteps behind her and struggled to get up. Cha Taibao sneered, "Do you feel weak all over? This fragrance is very suitable for you."

Sure enough, there was something wrong with this incense, he was too careless.Without giving him a chance to stand up, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, and his vision darkened, and he lost his final consciousness. The person in the darkness walked under the moonlight, Cha Taibao's eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand to shake Jing Lan pulled away, but was blocked by the man with a knife, and a long wound was drawn across his arm, and his sleeve was instantly soaked in blood. "You...it's you!" Cha Taibao took two steps back.

Shao Ke half-kneeled on the ground, gently stroking Jinglan's hair, "Are you surprised to see me? All the guards outside your door have already laid down, are you planning to go with them too?"

"How do you know it was me……"

"Actually, I didn't discover it, but His Majesty told me."

"How could he find out!"

"It's your maid who stayed in the palace, Xiangling showed her cheating feet. Aware of your ambitions, the heart of wanting to help you but also exposed your plan. Follow Xiangling, it's not difficult to find out, The fact that the little girl who almost starved to death in front of your gate eight years ago is now the imperial concubine's personal maid."

"How is it possible... why didn't Zhu Cui tell me..."

"Zhu Cui? If you are talking about the killer of the Wind Wolf, then the only ones who can command her are His Majesty the Former King, me and Grand Master Xiao."

If Cha Taibao was struck by lightning, he took two steps back and leaned on the table a little unsteadily. "So you are Heilang, so I was still played by that person in the applause." He laughed, "I still lost! Xiao! I still lost to him!"

How could he possibly defeat a person who would not change even when he was old?He still lost this last fight.However, he will not die in the hands of Hei Lang, even if he dies, he will die in front of that person.The aging Cha Tai Bao climbed up the window and jumped out. Shao Ke didn't catch up, but just lowered his head to help Jing Lan, and his usual gentleness returned to his face. He was so disobedient that he insisted on coming to find her alone. He is at a disadvantage now.

At that time, Xiuwan's consciousness was chaotic, her whole body was in a daze, and her hands and feet were tied tightly. Those people stuffed her into a carriage, and in order to keep herself awake, their fingernails dug into her flesh. Among them, there was a faint smell of blood in the small space. Finally, the forward carriage stopped, and soon someone lifted the curtain of the carriage, reached out and grabbed her arm, and the whole person was almost crushed. Dragging off the carriage, looking up at the black sky, not knowing where she is now, she stretched out a hand to help her up, "Brother really doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade, this only imperial concubine is a famous concubine." Beauty." As he said that, the man pulled her into his arms, supported her face with one hand, Xiuwan slightly tilted her head, looking at him at such a time was purely courting death.

The big rough hand brushed her face, "It's beautiful, but it's a pity that this skin is not as smooth as a butterfly's."

The weak second young lady looked at him curiously, "Who is Butterfly?"

The man with the unshaven beard was stunned, "Boss Hu Die of Heng'e Building."

Xiuwan lowered her head again, she still has the leisure to care about who this butterfly is.The man let go of her, and laughed loudly, "This little girl is quite interesting. But it's a pity that you are the wife of the emperor, otherwise it would be good to follow the master."

Hehe, the second young lady with her head down curled her lips into a sneer, she really dared to compare herself with Liu Hui, she was overconfident.
