Chapter two hundred and ninth: forgetting while drinking lonely wine(1/2)
Overlooking the moon-starred tower, I sigh for a lifetime of love and peace.
On a good day, the remaining snow is cut off, and forgotten in the lonely wine.
The clouds and smoke pass by day and night, and the phantom sound lingers in wine dreams.
His hand was still holding the white jade whistle tightly. This incomplete glass had already been reinstalled. But no matter how it was inlaid, it could not return to its original appearance, nor could it be complete as before.
There was a trace of sadness in the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were drunken and blurry, but his heart still hurt.
Seeing him in such pain, Ye Xunyu hesitated even to step forward. He thought it was already time to go to the palace to discuss important matters, but it was never like this.
"Is your Majesty always like this these days?"
"It's only because I went to the Clothing Bureau that I became like this."
In the past few days, in addition to going to court, the emperor has also sent people to patrol Chen Zhaoyi's frame-up of Princess Beimo. It is inevitable that he will occasionally stare at the items in his hands, and he will not get drunk like he did today.
Clothes Bureau?
Since Lan'er was demoted to the imperial palace, she has never told her father. I don't know where Han Xin got the news. She said she wanted to visit the palace, but she rejected it one by one.
'Lan'er, if you saw this scene, would you still insist on going your own way? He has always been the only one who hurt people.';
Sometimes, love doesn’t know where it started, but it goes deeper and deeper.
He glanced at Han Yuan and warned: "You go down first, I will watch over the emperor here, nothing will happen to you."
"Yes, I will resign."
"Your Majesty, are you drinking alone again?" As soon as he walked in beside him, he saw a purple magnolia placed on the table. He picked it up and sat down. He looked at it for a while and pretended to say, "What if this is so?
My sister saw it and didn't know how to be angry."
Looking at the purple magnolia in his hand, one can feel that she is always by his side.
angry?
Looking at the pot of wine in front of me, I couldn't help but laugh at myself.
Yes, she had never liked drinking by herself, and she was aware of her own drinking capacity. But now, he could only rely on this for matters on his mind. Calling Ye Xunyu over was just to talk about what was on his mind, and to make him forget about his drunkenness. But
This wine is really burning.
"Ever since I demoted Lan'er as a slave, you have never asked me for mercy, but are you blaming me?"
He raised his eyes and looked at Ye Xunyu. In the past, when this happened, he would go to the palace to plead for mercy, but today it was different: "Yes, you have been busy with funerals."
Seeing that he was so distressed, if she didn't know about it, she would naturally go to the palace. But unfortunately, she had already known about this matter, and there was no need to worry about Lan'er's safety. But she had been unwilling to tell the truth of the matter, so she could only lie about it.
It's a secret. I don't know when Lan'er wanted to hide Han Xin.
"That's because I know that the emperor did this just to save Lan'er's life, just like leaving it in the hands of the people in the Northern Desert. Although my father was not told about this, if my father knew about it, he would also understand the emperor's good intentions. Naturally not
There will be no intention of complaining."
Hopefully, he won't doubt it.
"But she doesn't know." She has never understood. Even if she really understands, the truth and falsehood still exist in her heart.
When Ye Xunyu saw him picking up the wine glass, he had no intention of stopping him. He knew that except for one person who could stop him, no one else could do it. He didn't know when the two of them didn't need to worry.
"That day, I did write a letter to Xia Qianyi privately because of her, but at that time, I..." Halfway through the words, his drunken eyes were already blurred, and he smiled with a ridiculous meaning. "If it hadn't been for Bei
Moren explained, why should I do this? Changsun Guanji had calculated everything before she was sure that Qinlan Palace had the truth she wanted. Only that letter was really weird. If it was a suicide note, Yilan'er
His temperament is bound to be thoughtful, so how could he be so confused?"
"That letter is..."
Why is this matter related to Xia Qianyi? She only told herself about fake death and never mentioned anything else. She should have been stopped from the beginning instead of letting her do whatever she wanted. If her father knew about it, he would naturally
Punish her. After all, this matter is extraordinary.
"She told Xia Qianyi that I did have a grudge against him, but there was no betrayal between the lines. That day, when I saw this letter, I naturally couldn't restrain the anger in my heart." Thinking about it now, that day was indeed too impulsive.
The drunkenness gradually got to my head, and I held my head with one hand and kept rubbing the dull pain.
With Yilan'er's temperament, someone must have said something to her, otherwise Qi Qi would have written this matter in the letter.
"If there is no letter, I am afraid that Lan'er's life is in danger. This letter is both a blessing and a curse. When the day comes, the emperor will find a solution and he will be able to restore Lan'er to his concubine."
Murong Haochen already had a countermeasure after hearing what he said. Seeing him put down the purple magnolia in his hand, at that moment he should really let go of this matter.
"You really don't blame me, why will Lan'er suffer there?"
Even he himself later realized why he had demoted her to a slave and placed her in the clothing bureau.
suffer?
If you know this, this pain is her own fault and she can't blame others. Although I don't blame her, after all, that place... is also heartbreaking.
"This harem is inherently dangerous, and there is no other way but to endure it. Let her see through people's hearts, and their hearts will not soften." When this happened, no one could really predict what would happen next.
For Lan'er, only this time can she truly see everyone's faces. I'm afraid she had already thought about it clearly when she made this decision.
"You are right, her heart is indeed too soft."
He never hesitated because nothing he did was wrong. But as soon as he came to Lan'er, he was afraid that he had done something wrong and made her resentful of him. In fact, he didn't want to see her resenting him the most.
Just hate.
"In this matter, I will thoroughly investigate who poisoned you. It was you..."
Murong Haochen looked at him, knowing that he didn't know what to say. After all, this matter had hurt him a lot. A wedding turned into Bai Ling. If it were him, he probably wouldn't be as calm and calm as him.
"I will never marry again in this life."
He had sworn that he would only marry one person in this matter, and would not marry again. As for Han Xin, it was up to her to stay or go. Thinking about it now, when Lan'er said those words, she had already made preparations in her heart.
Just because of the grudge between him and the emperor, he didn't tell him.
But she forgot that he was her biological brother and she should discuss it with her no matter what happened. On the contrary, in her heart, she didn't trust herself.
Secretly, I smiled helplessly.
Won't you marry again?
The indifferent lips raised at the corners showed no trace of worry. She squinted her eyes slightly and stared at him with a scrutinizing gaze. She poured a glass of wine in front of him and smiled lightly: "If you have something on your mind, why not stay with me?"
How about a drink?"
Seeing this, Ye Xunyu had no intention of drinking what was in front of him. If he drank with him, he didn't know how drunk the emperor would be. He stood up and said goodbye: "I won't get drunk with the emperor. The emperor must be worried about it."
After I finished my complaint, I resigned first."
"When did you return home in such a hurry?" The light smile disappeared sadly, and she looked at him with cold eyes. She felt relieved in her heart, and waved her hand lazily: "Forget it, you should go back."
"I then ordered Han Yuan to prepare a sobering soup for the emperor."
Watching Ye Xunyu's figure disappear into the night, he stood up without any hint of drunkenness, his thoughtful eyes looked a little suspicious of you.
Sobering up soup? Why do you need sobering up soup when you are not drunk at all?
"Feiyu, let the shadow guards monitor Ye Mansion's every move these days."
"What does the emperor suspect?"
Monitoring the Ye Mansion is something the Emperor has never done, but because of Chen Zhaoyi's incident, he has become deeply suspicious recently.
"I have no doubts, but I have always had a doubt in my mind."
This mystery has been on his mind since yesterday, but when he was called here today, he never realized that what he had said all along was just to test him. If it was really like what he said, it was not like his past temperament at all.
Once something happened to Lan'er, how could he safely hold the funeral in Ye Mansion?
Today, he was just pretending to be drunk, but he didn't notice it at all. Seeing his anxious look just now, it seemed that he had something on his mind.
"During this period, no one is allowed to discover you."
"Yes, I will do it now."
Turning around and staring at the purple magnolia, I felt sorry for her in my heart: Lan'er, don't hate me for spying on Ye Mansion.
Yefu
The shadow of the candlelight falls slantingly, and the shadow of the beautiful lady falls in the bronze mirror.
She stood by the window and opened it secretly, watching when his figure appeared. He had been with her all the time just now, and would not have left unless Murong Haochen summoned her.
Ever since she woke up and the first thing she saw was him, she couldn't tell how ecstatic she was. But when she heard about Ye Yilan, she never thought that her current identity was...
But this Murong Haochen was really too much, how could he treat her like this?
If she hadn't gone out secretly last night, she wouldn't have met Zi Ling. He said he would leave for Beimo in the next few days. He said he would save Ye Yilan and she also promised him something. I'm afraid there will be another conflict between them.
separation.
The moment he heard the door open, his figure gradually appeared in his sight, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing joy. He walked up to him and took his arm to sit down, and asked curiously: "It's been so long."
, but something happened to the palace?"
Zi Ling said that he would save Ye Yilan, but he didn't know how he was going to save her. Her story had been known to him for a long time, and she could only believe him at this moment.
He shook his head and sighed: "The emperor is just drinking to relieve his worries about Lan'er."
