Chapter One Hundred and Seventieth: The Heart Is Miscellaneous(1/2)
The moment Ye Yilan picked up the pen, Han Xin's uneasy look kept appearing in her mind, which was completely different from her usual self.
In the past, she was brave enough to talk back to Murong Haochen, but now she would retreat when she saw him.
It's like a wild cat that has been trained and turned into a well-behaved and smart cat.
Unable to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth, he laughed involuntarily.
As soon as the pen and ink touched the paper, it suddenly stopped. At that moment, she didn't know how to start writing.
She couldn't tell the truth and couldn't make any flaws. The two situations made it difficult for her to handle.
Han Xin didn't leave for long, and even his figure was not seen.
I must write this letter before he comes.
The palm of my hand couldn't help but tremble in panic. It seemed like I had done something wrong. The moment I put down the pen, the door suddenly opened.
In a panic, she quickly put the letter on the table into her sleeve.
"Your Majesty, if you don't go out, the Emperor will be angry."
When he saw it was Cai Feng, his panicked behavior just now made him feel relieved a lot.
Pulling her aside, she could feel at ease only if she went there. He handed the letter in his sleeve to Caifeng and warned: "Remember, this letter must be given to Concubine Shu, and no one can discover this letter."
secret."
After hearing that, Caifeng kept the letter that the empress had entrusted to her and kept it firmly in her arms. But she saw that the empress was so urgent and didn't want others to see it, as if she was a thief with a guilty conscience.
He asked softly: "Your Majesty, do you want me to send you here right now?"
Ye Yilan thought for a while, then slowly said: "You go now, and be careful along the way."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is outside. If this panic is seen, Your Majesty will be worried."
Listening to it, what Caifeng said was correct. He had been waiting for such a long time. If he accidentally revealed his intention to panic, he would definitely have doubts. Even if he didn't say it, he was determined in his heart.
I have some concerns.
Hearing the tone of her words, it sounded like Ziling's, and she smiled happily: "It seems that Ziling has taught you a lot."
"Caifeng didn't understand it before, but after getting in touch with Ziling, she realized that she had said many wrong things in the past. That's why Ziling was asked to change her mistakes."
As she talked, Caifeng almost forgot that she had only come to tell the empress to go out to see the emperor, but now she was chatting with the empress.
"If I delay talking to your empress, the emperor may really scold me."
Seeing Caifeng like this, she couldn't help but think of what he said, 'You are afraid of me';
Indeed, sometimes he is afraid that he will get angry if he talks too much.
It's just that he is used to it, so he doesn't like to talk too much, and he doesn't like people around him to talk too much and disturb him.
As soon as he opened the door, he stood outside with his back to him. His guilty eyes looked away randomly.
Murong Haochen turned around, hugged her waist directly, looked at him deeply with doting eyes, and said affectionately: "After Han Xin leaves, you will never come out again. Do you know how impatient I am to wait."
"
"Then why don't you come in?"
Looking into those affectionate eyes, I always felt that I had done something wrong with the trust I had gained from him, and I suddenly felt guilty again.
"Someone has told me not to disturb you." He held the back of her head and leaned it against his shoulder, leaning on her ear, raising his eyebrows and saying in a very affectionate manner. "How dare I come in."
Ye Yilan's hands were hidden in her cuffs, preventing him from noticing any strange feeling.
A faint smile spread slightly: "How long do we have to stand outside the door?"
"Do you want to go to the palace?"
He didn't answer, but these words made her a little confused.
Murong Haochen directly pulled her into the house without giving her any time to think about it.
Qiongyu Palace
Lan Shan stood outside the hall and looked at Han Xin anxiously, thinking to herself: I wonder if she got the news from Ye Yilan?
Narrowing her eyes slightly, she looked at the approaching figure. That figure turned out to be Caifeng next to Ye Yilan. Pretending to be indifferent, she stepped forward and asked softly: "But Chen Zhaoyi asked you to come here with a message?"
"My mother-in-law has written a letter and I hope you can deliver it to me."
letter?
She wrote everything she said in the letter, pretending to be mysterious.
In the handed-in letter, what caught my eye was 'Brother Xia's personal letter';
Brother Xia? It’s so intimate.
Just when she was about to open the letter, the movements in her hands stopped. She was hesitating whether she should open the letter or not. Her heart was hard, and her trembling hands kept shaking.
It turned out that all this was due to his own overthinking.
After quickly putting the letter in, he secretly hatched a plan. Murong Haoli wanted to get Ye Yilan, and the task he gave himself was to become Murong Haochen's woman. If he could defeat her in this way,
There is still a trick that can be exploited.
Holding the letter in his hand, the smug smile on the corner of his mouth deeply covered it. Pretending to be calm, he walked to Xia Muling's side and told him: "Chen Zhaoyi sent a letter to you.
Master."
Give it to your brother?
After hearing this, she cut off the leaf branches with the scissors in her hand without any hesitation, and hummed softly with disdain: "It seems that she would rather talk to her brother than to me."
"Does your Majesty even care about such a trivial matter?"
Seeing her looking so sad, Lan Shan couldn't help but look at her with deep contemplation.
Care?
What did she care about? It was just that as a child of the Xia family, why didn't she tell herself the truth and instead told her brother everything.
Since she was a child, Ye Yilan has been talented and considers things more carefully than anyone else. Now it seems that she looks more and more like an emperor.
There must be something in that letter that she didn't know about, otherwise she wouldn't have just given it to her brother to read.
"What about the letter?"
After Xia Muling took it, she really handed the letter to her brother to read. As soon as she opened it, she closed it immediately.
If the emperor really wants to deal with the Xia family, at least she can still have hope in the palace, but her brother and father...
If my brother hadn't been with the Sixth Prince, maybe the Emperor wouldn't be suspicious.
All this can only be attributed to my own paranoia.
"Forget it, give this letter to your brother."
Hearing this, Lan Shan frowned and asked suspiciously: "Don't you read the content of the letter? If you do, you can feel at ease."
She originally wanted to use Xia Muling's hands to get rid of him, but she gave up such an excellent opportunity. For big things, sometimes one person has to be sacrificed.
That person, even if she is Xia Qianyi's sister, would like this.
She shook her head with a sigh and said: "No need, since she wants to show it to my brother alone, why should I bother with it."
The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and a flashing look appeared in his eyes. He carefully trimmed the leaves and branches in front of him, cutting them to the ground one by one.
Seeing her like this, Lan Shan shook her head helplessly and said, "I'm not telling you, you've been depressed and miserable all day long, so you might as well go and please the Empress Dowager."
In this harem, only Feng Tingyu only wants to please her eldest grandson Guanji, and since her aunt is the queen mother, she is naturally not afraid of her position as queen.
No one has ever thought of trying to please the most authoritative person in the harem.
"What do you mean by this?"
After hearing this, Xia Muling put down the scissors in her hand and looked at her with confused eyes. Therefore, the words were profound and there must be some ulterior motive.
"The Empress Dowager used to hate Chen Zhaoyi very much, but for some reason she has been very nice to her recently. I am afraid that the Empress Dowager has always wanted Chen Zhaoyi to give birth to a prince. But you see, there is no news."
Walking to her side, he picked up the scissors on the table and cut off a leaf at will. In front of her, he slowly dropped the leaf in his hand from her eyes. A conspiratorial smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which deeply tempted her.
She spoke eloquently.
"Over time, the Empress Dowager will definitely force the Emperor. If we talk about choosing a candidate, we must choose a woman who has nothing to do with the interests of the royal family. If you get the favor of the Empress Dowager, you will be favored."
Listening to Lan Shan's words, I learned a lot.
But in my heart, I kept feeling panicked. After all, how could such a powerful person like the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager be so pleased with her?
He said to himself very softly: "Will this matter be possible?"
"If you want to, don't be impatient." He returned the scissors in his hand to her and whispered softly in his ear. "Chen Zhaoyi has the emperor as his backer, and you have the emperor and the empress dowager. Which one is more important, the emperor will finally listen."
who?"
She presented such a good strategy, but if Xia Muling didn't figure it out, such an excellent strategy would be wasted.
"Help me convey a message to my brother."
Seeing her whispering that sentence softly in his ear, he looked at her in shock. This sentence was completely unlike what Xia Muling could say.
