A bay of clear water, leaning down and listening to the sound of the gurgling water, like a melodious flute, echoing in my ears one by one.

The shadow of the moon casts under the shade of the tree, and the two people under the tree shine through it.

Murong Haoli's eyes have been staring at her, but her eyes have never met his. She is no longer the shy woman she was when she first fell in love. Perhaps, this shyness was also given to Murong Haochen.

She didn't know what attracted her to him. She was her own woman, but she was so close to talking about marriage with her father. But all of this was shattered by him.

He wants both the throne and a woman. Although he cannot have both, his greedy desire is too strong.

On the other hand, she has always kept a certain distance from herself. If she wants to get close to her, she will mercilessly avoid him.

The moment he wanted to reach out, his hesitant hand stayed in the air, clenching his fist tightly. He forced a smile and hummed softly: "I heard about that matter. Are you feeling better?"

After that incident happened, he did not come to see her. After all, according to Murong Haochen's temperament, he would definitely have spies around. In fact, he could go in to see her so that Murong Haochen knew that Ye Yilan once loved

Live your life. Even if it is just once, it will become eternal.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My health has improved a lot."

If he had not mentioned this matter, he would have forgotten that he had wounds on his body, and he would have forgotten the humiliation he suffered in the Clothing Bureau.

But he was so polite and inquiring, but he had no interest at all. He didn't know that he was so obsessed with himself.

But for that prophecy of the late emperor?

Can the throne really seduce a person and completely confuse a person's mind?

He fell on Murong Haochen's body and didn't see it. It was him who he had always loved. He had always disdained this position. How could he be confused.

Seeing him walking to her side, she couldn't help but hold her skirts on both sides tightly with both hands. She was afraid that he would do something excessive. They simply could not return to the original feeling. Thinking about it now, they were also the same at that time.

There was an obvious sense of distance. But for Murong Haochen, I had never felt that before.

Her every move was seen. Just now, she wanted to keep a certain distance from herself. In her eyes, everything was perfunctory.

Seeing the situation, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he still forced a smile on his face: "Brother, the emperor is too much. How could I treat you like this?"

If he had come to comfort her at that time, there might have been a slight improvement.

Too much?

Ye Yilan secretly smiled disdainfully and said coldly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to say hello. Doesn't your Majesty just want to ask if I have obtained the last emperor's will?"

The moment he specially asked someone to send a note today, she knew that he couldn't wait any longer. Since they both knew it, there was no need to ask for help.

It is a secret between them to everyone.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh softly, with the smile that never dissipated from the corner of my mouth: "It seems that I can't hide anything from you."

"There is nothing you want." Ye Yilan said bluntly without mincing words.

"No way, you must be lying to me."

No? How could there be no? That, is the tiger talisman given to him by his father himself. With this, he can command the army.

But this Tiger Talisman couldn't live without him. If it wasn't there, where would it go?

"From beginning to end, I have never deceived the prince. There is nothing in the brocade box that the prince wants."

How could he be deceived about this matter? After all, these are all facts.

Seeing her doubtful eyes, he asked calmly: "Why, the prince doesn't believe me at all?"

believe?

He didn't believe it at all, there was nothing there. No one else could enter Chenlan Palace except her.

Holding her wrist tightly, a questioning look burst out in his eyes, and he asked attentively: "What is in that brocade box?"

"That's what the emperor prepared for me."

There was no evasion in her eyes, and it looked like she wasn't lying at all.

Suddenly, a sound came from the grass, and Murong Haoli, who was extremely vigilant, shouted attentively: "Who?"

Hearing this, Ye Yilan couldn't help but look towards that place. Her heart was filled with nervousness. She was afraid that the secret between them...

"Meow--"

"It turns out to be a cat." Hearing the meow, I felt relieved a lot.

If someone discovers it, someone who is interested will definitely make a fuss about it. He is not afraid of it being heard by Murong Haochen. Once the Empress Dowager knows about it...

Everything is unimaginable...

When Ye Yilan saw Murong Haoli coming forward, she stepped forward and bowed slightly, with only a hint of warning in her words: "It's getting late, I should go back. In the future, I hope the prince will come to the harem less often."

"

She didn't want to have any contact with him anymore. After all, her eldest grandson Guanji knew too much about this matter. Little did she know that she would use this matter to threaten herself in the future. She had done this in the past.

"You are afraid that the emperor knows about this."

Hearing her words, it was extremely harsh. It was never difficult for him to meet her first. However, he hoped to let Murong Haochen know that the woman he loved had always loved him.

"So what if you know."

As long as he loves himself, he will definitely tolerate himself whether he knows the truth or not.

But unfortunately, she still didn't have the slightest confidence in him. Because she had no confidence in herself at all.

From beginning to end, she had been afraid that he would know.

I don't know if it was because I hid it from him at the beginning that I gradually became wary.

She said this to Murong Haoli just to make him let down all his guard. What's more, she had been gambling in front of him.

"Ye Yilan, one day you will regret it."

Ye Yilan saw him walking past her, just like last time, he always liked to leave in one step. But Murong Haochen would not, he would just follow closely behind him silently. This is the best way

It's reassuring.

She still stood there, watching him leave. But those eyes never looked at his figure. She no longer remembered him.

The figure gradually emerged from the bushes. After seeing the man leave, he called out: "Sister Lan'er."

"Han Xin, why are you here?"

Seeing her appearance, he was very surprised. His staring eyes became full of doubts and he asked: "That one just now..."

"It's me." Han Xin told bluntly. "I saw him grabbing your hand, intending to throw stones at it, but found that it would be easier to expose my whereabouts. Unexpectedly, I was still discovered."

After separated from Lan Shan, I heard a sound while passing by here. I was so curious that I hid aside and eavesdropped. Only then did I realize that the woman turned out to be Ye Yilan.

She had doubts about what she and a man were doing here so late at night, until she heard the content of their conversation...

Ye Yilan glanced around, luckily she fell in love with her, otherwise if someone else...

He took her hands, walked to the riverside, and asked her, "Why are you here so late?"

"Just passing by." She didn't want to tell her that she had any intention of interacting with Lanshan. She continued. "Sister Lan'er, it's not so late to talk secretly with that person here."

"What did you hear?"

After asking this question, she was actually worried about whether she could hear the conversation between them.

"There is no secret at all in the conversation between you." Seeing her worried look, she sighed helplessly. Then she couldn't help but ask, "But who is that person?"

And that last sentence just now had a hint of threat.

I heard that she could have kept this secret forever. But now, it was time for her to make a decision about their relationship. Since she didn't care, there was no need to hide it.

Put it in her ear and tell her everything.

"So, the one you loved before was always him?"

Han Xin opened her eyes wide and listened to all this in disbelief. She never thought that she had ever loved...

Ask him cautiously: "I guess your man doesn't know yet."

Seeing her nodding silently, she understood everything in her heart.

"Han Xin, you will keep it a secret for me, right?"

"Then tell me, who do you love right now?"

She will keep it a secret for her, but in it she just wants to know who she really loves.

She has always been entangled in it, and only now can she open it. Perhaps, no one has ever really opened the secret hidden in her heart. That's why she becomes so indecisive.

Ye Yilan slowly put down her hands and turned to look at the bright moon. It was as bright as a piece of jasper, without any filthy embellishment.

He raised a bitter smile and said: "In the past, I told myself that I was his concubine and could not have anything to do with Murong Haoli. Now, I just want the people around me not to do harm.

It’s about him. I love him, but I can’t give my love too deeply. What’s more, I have always been hindered by that identity."

"You don't want to prove your heart."

After listening to her words, I gradually understood.

Walking behind her, he eased her anxious heart at the moment. He continued: "In your heart, your love for Murong Haochen has long been ingrained. Just because of the love between the six princes, you feel something

I owe you. What I said was from your heart?"
