Chapter 20: The beacon fires in troubled times are like flowers(1/2)

The lights are sparse, the voices are loud, and the songs are endless, reflecting the beacon fire of troubled times.

Like flowers and beautiful family, like the passage of time, I can’t remember this night or what night.”

"Do you know what that means?"

Inviting her out tonight not only had a purpose, but also for her to come out for a walk. It was obvious that she was silent all the way, so he wrote a poem to her with interest.

Ye Yilan didn't want to follow him at first, but she couldn't refuse what he said just now in the mansion.

After dinner, he blocked Ye Yilan's way.

——"It's a nice night tonight, why don't you go out for a walk with me?"

She didn't know where the courage came from, so she reached out to touch his forehead.

——"Your Highness's fever has just subsided, so it's better not to wander around."

At that touch, Murong Haochen could not express anything in words and said coldly.

——"Then Your Highness goes out on his own. If something happens, who will be held responsible?"

I wanted to argue, but he pulled me away abruptly.

But he happened to write a poem, and Ye Yilan had no intention of walking with him. She tugged on her sleeves and said, "Your Highness, it's time for us to go back. If Your Highness is discovered, you can..."

"No one can find us tonight. Don't worry."

Can't find us?

Where is he taking himself?

The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became. She threw off his hold and said softly: "I hope Your Highness will speak clearly."

Seeing her anxious look, a sly smile filled the corner of her mouth for a long time, staring into her eyes.

The look between the eyes made Ye Yilan subconsciously turn her head away.

He didn't answer and took Ye Yilan to a restaurant.

He raised his eyebrows and saw the words Zuixianglou.

She was most familiar with this restaurant.

But I don't know why everyone gathers here.

Murong Haochen chose a place and sat down closest to the purple magnolia.

"The moment you came in, did you want to ask me something?"

"Why choose here?"

What he heard was not what he thought. He kept looking down, knowing clearly: "It's safest to discuss things here. You want to know, who is the owner of this restaurant?"

"Your Highness, please don't tell me that this restaurant belongs to His Highness."

Murong Haochen smiled knowingly, deliberately kept it under wraps, and drank tea calmly.

His appearance made it impossible for anyone to guess whether it was true or false.

"Follow me back to the palace."

He is a bit abnormal today, always talking a lot of nonsense for no reason.

Hearing this, Ye Yilan couldn't believe whether what he said was true or not, and said in doubt: "Your Highness, are you kidding me?"

"Everyone thought I fell off a cliff and died. If I suddenly appeared, they would be panicked."

He just wanted to catch them off guard. The best time to show off his skills was when people were panicking.

"His Highness wants to sneak into the palace?" Seeing him nodding, he was ready for tonight, so he had something unclear: "What does it have to do with me?"

Entering the palace secretly is a capital offense.

Knowing that someone is chasing him, what if someone sets an ambush in the palace?

Going forward rashly, for fear of backfiring.

"If you don't go with me, how will you know whether this matter has anything to do with you or not."

If you do this, you will definitely hate me, and you will probably hate me for the rest of your life.

Ye Yilan, no matter if you hate or complain, this matter has already been a foregone conclusion and you can't change it.

"Your Highness is not afraid. Someone is waiting for Your Highness to fall into a trap in the palace?"

"It's not me, it's them."

Seeing that he looked confident, there was no need to worry about him.

I guess that when they discussed it with their brother, they had already planned it. In their plan, they also included themselves in it.

But Ye Yilan didn't know why she entered the palace?

It was as if everything had been arranged secretly for her.

"Ye Yilan looks into my eyes, do you trust me?"

Every time I look into his eyes, I feel very reassured, sometimes even afraid of him: "I have never distrusted Your Highness, but..."

"No but." In an instant, he ordered coldly: "In the following days, you must listen to my arrangements."

Murong Haochen saw her standing up and about to leave, but there was no reaction.

Several people suddenly appeared in front of her and stopped her, looking at him with confusion: "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Covering the wound on his arm, he stood beside her and looked at everyone who belonged to him: "If you want to leave, I won't stop you. Let's see if you have the ability to go out."

He clutched the hem of his skirt tightly and said ferociously for a long time, "I will go with Your Highness."

Knowing that she was unwilling, yet forcing her like this.

He didn't want to do this. If he didn't do this, how could she stay by his side.

Looking at her side face, he couldn't let himself soften at this moment.

He pulled her into the side room and tossed her around casually.

A cold air spread throughout the room, heading towards Ye Yilan.

He stuffed the package directly into her arms and looked at her indifferently: "Go in and change your clothes."

Murong Haochen kept staring at her, then turned around in shock: "Then your Highness hasn't turned around yet."

Seeing her look like this, he smiled evilly.

Ye Yilan was dressed in men's clothing, and her luxuriant hair could not hide her face.

"This is my first time to tie someone's hair."

He can tell you everything he thinks in his heart. I wonder if he can read people's hearts.

"Do not ask--"

Seeing her twitching lips in the mirror, he instinctively warned her.

From the moment they first met, he hid everything and never told her. There must be many doubts in his heart, but he didn't want her to know, nor did he want her to worry.

"Your Highness, everything is ready."

"If you trust me, you must listen to me."

No one can resist his orders.

Murong Haochen held her hand tightly, and he could feel her fear in his warm palm.

The two men were hiding among the soldiers, and the people here were arranged by Ye Xunyu in advance.

"Don't look around."

She glanced at him and nodded to him.

"stop."

Hearing this, Ye Yilan almost raised her head. She didn't dare to breathe freely.

"What? You want to stop me?"

"I don't dare." I have never seen the Commander-in-Chief lead troops into the palace, which inevitably makes people suspicious: "The Commander-in-Chief leads troops into the palace tonight. Is he following the emperor's order?"

"Is this what you're talking about?"

On that day, Murong Haochen personally handed over the military talisman to him, so that he could not only mobilize the army, but also lead troops into the palace according to orders.

He immediately knelt down to greet him: "Who is coming, open the palace door."

Every step she takes, Ye Yilan takes it with her heart in mind.

Every time he passed a soldier, he was afraid of being discovered and disrupting his plan.

"Your Highness, I will send you here."

After taking a look at her, he should believe in His Highness' ability, but after all, he still couldn't trust Lan'er.

"Huayang Palace."
