Legend of the Orchid

"Fang'er!" Zhao Tingjie roared, his pupils instantly turned scarlet, and his whole body was quickly surrounded by golden light.

Some officers and soldiers still wanted to slash at Li Zhonglan with their knives. Zhao Tingjie raised his sword and slashed at Li Zhonglan fiercely, splitting his arm in half.

Zhao Guangyi chased after him, the red flame in his palm turned into a red dragon, roaring towards Zhao Tingjie.

Zhao Tingjie almost fell into a state of madness. He swung his sword and slashed. The two beams of light, one gold and one red, clashed fiercely. tiny cracks.

Zhao Tingjie stared at his blood-red pupils with a ferocious expression. Li Zhonglan was worried that he would go crazy, so she called him crying, and finally made him turn around. He threw away the Longquan sword, hugged Li Zhonglan and Zhao Defang, and walked away.

When the people left, Zhao Guangyi's legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground. At the same time, he spat out a big mouthful of blood.

He never expected that two years later, Zhao Tingjie's military strength would be so advanced that he could not even match the peerless magic skills. He couldn't help but sigh secretly, this throne is not made of gold at all, it is ice, and sitting on it for a day is like walking on thin ice.

The three of Zhao Tingjie fled to an uninhabited alley. Zhao Defang's entire face was tragically white due to excessive blood loss.

Li Zhonglan cried: "It's all my fault, if I don't fall down, you will be fine!"

Zhao Defang didn't even have the strength to shake his head, so he said weakly, "You're fine...it's fine..."

Zhao Tingjie held his hand, feeling very desolate in his heart, the blood of their family was sparse, only two brothers depended on each other since they were young, now that Defang has suffered another misfortune, from now on he is the only one left to support the overall situation.

"Fang'er, I will definitely protect your heirs well, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Zhao Tingjie asked softly, he condemned himself in his heart for not being able to take care of his younger brother even though he was an elder brother, so he was both guilty and sad , all kinds of emotions came to my heart.

As she was dying, Zhao Defang looked at Li Zhonglan.

He does have a wish, he really wants his sister-in-law to kiss him, even if it's just on the forehead.

However, he smiled sadly.

No, this is his sister-in-law!

"Defang, do you have something to say to me?" Li Zhonglan asked eagerly. This was the first time he called the other party's name, and unexpectedly it would also be the last.

"It's good to know you..." Zhao Defang said with difficulty, spurting blood from his mouth.

Tremblingly, he grabbed the second brother's hand and folded it with his sister-in-law's hand, panting: "You two...together...I'm very happy..."

The brilliance in his pupils faded, his dark eyes gradually merged into a slit, his hands drooped, and he fell quietly into his brother's arms, falling asleep forever.

Li Zhonglan covered her mouth and tried her best to suppress the mournful sobs. He recalled the scene when he first met Zhao Defang. At that time, the other party was still a sunny boy with full of vigor, reckless and impulsive, and his whole body was filled with infinite vitality, like a smart wild deer.

But now it is so quiet, depressed, helpless, lifeless.

Every young life that has passed away is laughing at their incompetence and their inability to control their fate. This is a huge blow to Li Zhonglan, especially to Zhao Tingjie.

Zhao Tingjie hugged his younger brother tightly in his arms, and heaved a long sigh with tears in his eyes.

The world only knows about princes and nobles, but they don't know the blood and tears of the royal family.

At night, the two escorted Zhao Defang's body out of the city and buried it next to Zhao Tingjie's tomb. Tingjie looked at his tomb with a feeling of sympathy: "When I die in the future, I will be buried here. Fallen leaves will always return to their roots." .”

Li Zhonglan was very angry, hugged Zhao Tingjie, and shouted: "I won't allow it! You won't be allowed to die!"

Zhao Tingjie smiled lightly: "People are always going to die."

"Master gave you half of his fairy bone, and you will live a long time." Li Zhonglan said anxiously, the murder of Zhao Defang today left him with lingering fears, and he was worried that Ting Jie's words would come true.

"But you don't have a fairy bone, so you can't live that long. What's the point of me staying in this world?" Zhao Tingjie gently stroked Li Zhonglan's waist and sighed.

Li Zhonglan thought for a while, looked up at Zhao Tingjie, and said firmly, "I'll go ask Master again, and ask him to let me live longer."

His face was covered with clear teardrops, especially touching under the bright moonlight. Zhao Tingjie wiped the little fox's tears, and suddenly felt relieved, and said with relief: "Your master said that we are reincarnated people in the fairy world. Returning to the fairyland, death is not terrible, the important thing is that we can be together."

Li Zhonglan nodded obediently, and buried her head in Tingjie's arms again.Over the years, they have been pursuing many, many things, only to find out today that what they are looking for is so simple, and they have been firmly fulfilling it, which is enough to make people feel gratified and grateful.

A month later, Li Zhonglan went to visit Zhao Defang's grave with the offerings, and saw someone standing in front of the grave from a distance, who looked very much like Zhao Guangyi.

Li Zhonglan's heart skipped a beat, and she turned around to run away, but she heard someone behind her shout: "Zhonglan, don't go yet."

This voice was undoubtedly Zhao Guangyi's, but it was full of exhaustion, without any mellow texture.

Li Zhonglan stopped by accident, probably because he discovered that Zhao Defang's tomb had been refurbished, and the tombstone was replaced with a tall white marble tablet, and Zhao Guangyi didn't look like he was going to destroy the tomb, so he relaxed his guard.

Zhao Guangyi hurried over, and when he was about to approach Li Zhonglan, the other party took a few steps back and shouted, "Don't get any closer!"

Zhao Guangyi actually obeyed, did not move forward, and said with a smile: "I only brought a few guards with me, they are far away, you don't have to worry."

Hearing what he said, Li Zhonglan was even more relieved, and then regretted that Tingjie did not come today, otherwise the emperor's head would have been taken.

Zhao Guangyi looked a little bit older, his face was very loose, and he looked like the emperor had worked hard, but his slender phoenix eyes were still shining brightly, making him look sinister and vicious, making it difficult to get close to him.

"What do you want to do?" Li Zhonglan asked bluntly.

Zhao Guangyi looked at the other party's jade face, his eyes became gentler, and he even smiled: "I just want to talk to you."

Unexpectedly, he was still ruthlessly rejected by the other party: "I have nothing to say to you."

The emperor was a little embarrassed, and sighed: "Zhong Lan, I have always treated you kindly, why do you always reject me thousands of miles away?"

Li Zhonglan was so angry that he didn't know what to say, he didn't bother to waste his time, and sneered, "You treat me badly, but you treat me badly."

"Dezhao?" Zhao Guangyi frowned slightly, looked deeply at Li Zhonglan, and sighed, "Zhonglan, I only regret that I didn't look for you when I first met you, and let Dezhao take advantage of the loopholes, otherwise I'd use your infatuation Temper, the one with you today must be me!"

A mocking smile appeared on Li Zhonglan's face. He was not a fool who casually curry favor with the rich and powerful. Back then, when he faced many princes and generals at the Lengxiang Banquet, only Zhao Tingjie had his eyes on him. Even if Zhao Guangyi approached him at that time, he would not Make an impression.

"Then I would like to thank Lord Long En!" Li Zhonglan sneered, "Thank you Your Majesty for not looking for me, so that I did not choose the wrong person!"

For a moment, an angry look appeared on Zhao Guangyi's face, but he suppressed his anger immediately, and said calmly and arrogantly: "What Dezhao can give you, I can also give you, and I own the world, no one can compare Got me!"

"But you are impersonal." Li Zhonglan said lightly.

A wry smile flickered on the corner of Zhao Guangyi's mouth: "If I am inhumane, do you think you can still live to this day?"

Li Zhonglan didn't want to say any more, and was about to leave, but Zhao Guangyi sighed again: "You are from Dezhao, aren't you from me? Did you ever think about the skin-to-skin relationship that night?"

Li Zhonglan was so annoyed, she retorted mercilessly: "That night was just an illusion, I have nothing to do with you!"

When he said these words, he inevitably looked around worriedly. Based on his experience, Zhao Guangyi would probably be annoyed, and then there would be trouble again.

Sure enough, Zhao Guangyi's expression was very shocked, but he was not angry. Instead, he nodded sadly and said, "No wonder! At that time, I was also wondering where the scars on your body went. I never thought that I was being sentimental!"

At this moment, he was no longer a high-ranking emperor, but like a downcast who failed in courtship. Unfortunately, the other party had no sympathy and was still provoking him: "You only love yourself, you will never be as good as the court, I love you." Will never like you!"

Zhao Guangyi was finally irritated and roared: "Nonsense!"

But only a thin wisp of black smoke responded to him, the surrounding fields were empty, and he was the only one left in the world.
