Chapter 256: The tea is exhausted and the night is still young
The voice is muted by the wind, and the shadows of lamps hang slantingly in the jade lake.
The waterside pavilions and pavilions are empty in pairs, and the tea has been exhausted and the night is still young.
The paper and ink are falling, and a few strokes are remembered in the heart.
He looked back with a charming smile, his eyebrows vaguely touching his heart.
His fingertips caressed the verses in this calligraphy and painting, and he was the only one with the ink and ink color of the words. His handwriting was strong yet gentle.
Standing in the water pavilion, looking at all the scenery in the night, the quiet place is pure and cool. Listening to the gurgling spring water flowing down from the rockery, closing your eyes, everything is like singing.
He said that everything here was carefully arranged by him. Little did he know that he could actually grasp such a long-term matter one by one.
If she was not emotional, had he thought about what he would do in the future?
The moment he opened the door, he saw his man waiting outside. As soon as he went down, the man stepped forward to stop him: "Madam, where are you going?"
Where to go?
Standing next to him, he chuckled coldly and said, "Can't you just relax for a while?"
"The mansion is big, so Madam should not walk around casually. The Fourth Master has told his subordinates, but he is just afraid that Madam will get lost." He also acted according to his master's instructions, so naturally he did not dare to neglect.
Lost? I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.
Pretending to be indifferent, he said, "Then just follow me."
Hearing this, the words of his master's instructions came to mind: 'If the lady really wants to leave, just let her go.';
"Yes, ma'am."
He followed his wife all the way, but she stopped here, stepped forward and whispered: "Madam, the fourth master never lets anyone enter this place."
Ye Yilan was vaguely familiar with this place. She was tricked by her eldest grandson Guanji into coming here, just to make herself known as unfaithful. But here, she was curious as to why she was not allowed to enter.
But I don’t know why I ended up here again.
"Madam, this..."
"I'll take care of everything, just wait outside." She regretted a little, so she wanted to bring him here.
He knew that his master loved his wife, so naturally he could only obey whatever the wife did.
There are many rules in this mansion, but so are his secrets. He said he was going to do something, but he never showed up until now, so he had to let himself rest first. His people were guarding the door, but he was imprisoned by him.
It's people.
Entering the bathtub, it was their first skin-to-skin contact that night, but now that I think about it, it was a passionate smile.
He slowly backed away and accidentally bumped into a fallen flower pot, but he had no intention of falling down.
He turned around and looked at it with a puzzled look on his face. He reached out to pick up the vase in front of him, but couldn't pick it up. He turned the vase inadvertently and heard the sound of the door being opened. Then he looked at the wall in front of him.
It turned out to be a secret door. I took off the candle and stepped in fearfully.
Walking into this unintentional passage, it actually leads to the backyard, and no one will find out where he is. No wonder he doesn't allow anyone to enter.
"ah--"
Suddenly someone hugged her from behind, and she was so frightened that she dropped the candle in her hand.
"Don't be afraid."
The moment I held her in my arms, I could sense her fear and trembling. A gentle voice came slowly, and she immediately put out the bright candle.
She heard a familiar voice in her panic, and she gradually calmed down a little. Instead, she was really frightened.
Turning her body in front of him, seeing those still frightened eyes, he stepped forward and kissed her forehead lovingly.
That kiss really made her feel a lot more at ease. She hugged him deeply and coquettishly said in his arms: "I thought it was someone else."
He looked at her lovingly with lowered eyes, raised the tip of his nose teasingly, and smiled tenderly: "No one here but me dares to come in and out at will."
Murong Haochen looked at the passage. He saw her coming out of here as soon as he came back, but he didn't know that she would find out his secrets that he had kept for many years so quickly.
Ye Yilan raised her eyes and stared into his eyes, then looked at the passage.
Seeing that everything in her eyes was so indifferent, the doting in her eyes faded away, and she said coldly: "Don't you want to explain something?"
Ye Yilan saw him standing in front of the secret passage with her, and the explanation he said did not require any explanation at all.
"I know everything, but what else do I have to ask?"
Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows with a long sigh and helplessly picked up the candle on the ground. He held her waist and said calmly: "Go in."
Ye Yilan saw the long and dark road, which was illuminated by light just now, but now she held his hand in fear and did not dare to enter.
Seeing this, Murong Haochen put the candle into her hand, picked her up directly, and said tenderly: "I'm here, so what are you afraid of?"
Ye Yilan buried Lian deeply in his arms, always feeling that she would go in soon. From the moment he put her down, she watched with her own eyes as he turned the flower pot and closed the secret passage again. See you.
With his emotionless eyes, he reached out and stroked his hair. He smiled lightly and said, "Why don't you close it when you go out? If someone enters, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"I only know that this road leads to the backyard, but I don't know about the rest." He mumbled to himself softly with an aggrieved look on his face. "What's more, your secret has never been told to me."
"Don't you know now." Looking at her angry look, he pulled her into his arms with a look of reluctance. He hugged her body tightly and sighed leisurely. "This is it."
The only secret passage in the house. Do you think that since the eldest grandson Guanji is married, he won't monitor my every move? They have never been able to know any information about me, just because this leads not only to the backyard but to the Zuixiang Tower."
In the past few years, no one, whether it was his father or Murong Haoli, knew all his actions. Apart from Ye Mansion, the only place he could go to was Zuixiang Tower. All the secrets were found here. Only there.
It is the most hidden one.
Zuixianglou?
Now that I think about it, why is there purple magnolia in Zuixiang Tower? It turns out that everything is a kind of longing for him. Everywhere, he will have everything about himself. His delicacy is his heart, but it is not anyone else's.
He couldn't even look away. A sweet smile couldn't help but rise at the corner of his mouth.
"That night when you came to the mansion, I entered from here."
"I still remember that you wanted to strangle me to death." He suddenly appeared and strangled her before she could see her clearly. At that time, she didn't know what happened. But when she saw the angry look in his eyes,
, there was one thing that she had never encountered before, which was a flash of guilt.
"If it weren't for my eldest grandson Guanji, I would have really wanted to keep you. But, I have been enduring it."
From beginning to end, his patience has always been for her. Sometimes he wonders whether his patience with her love was good or bad? Now, he is satisfied.
Tolerate?
This word was the last thing she wanted to bear, and she didn't want to endure it. If he had not hidden his heart at the beginning, he might not have met Murong Haoli, and the next thing would not have happened, and there would have been no relationship between them.
There will be so many barriers.
"If you had married me, you would not have been monitored."
Standing up from his arms, he pretended to be angry and asked, "Tell me, why didn't Qixi show up?"
Suddenly, a different kind of emotion flashed through his eyes, and he stared at it and asked: "Why, it must be Chinese Valentine's Day?"
Why?
In fact, even she herself didn't know why she said these words. If they really met on Chinese Valentine's Day, why would they hide it? Some things are really destined.
His eyes lowered silently, his worried thoughts came out slightly, and he said calmly: "I heard that people who meet on Chinese Valentine's Day will be together forever."
"I have never believed it. I only believe that the future will be long."
These are just superstitions, and they don't need them to maintain a long-term love. Everything is so natural. He can accept her love happily. Just because he loves her.
There is ample time?
For him, everything is extremely certain. But he doesn't know where he got such confidence. After all, he has been waiting for himself, waiting for the day he falls in love with him. These words are also
That's what he said. Little did he know that I thought I would never be with him in this life, but instead he was the most patient person. He was willing to put aside his dignity and tolerate everything he had. This was something that he could only hope to achieve.
"Have you ever regretted everything you did back then?"
"No."
No?
Why did I feel so depressed when I heard him say these words?
He smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. Everything you do is always under your control, so naturally you won't regret it."
Seeing this, Murong Haochen hugged her tightly with eyes full of love. The reason why he said this just now was because if he followed his own heart, how could he stabilize their relationship.
In an extremely soft voice, he said to himself: "But I regret it."
I regret that I struggled for a long time in that unnecessary emotion and ignored the people around me.
Looking at the person in his arms, the tiny voice sounded real. He asked, "What do you regret?"
Hearing this, he hesitated subconsciously, and deliberately avoided saying, "Go back to your room and rest."
When she left his arms, he immediately hugged her body and whispered in his ear affectionately: "Lan'er, we have missed too much, and I don't want to miss it again."
"Then don't leave any regrets."
After all, she didn't want to miss him anymore, and she felt a sense of peace of mind by his side, which was the most needed emotion in her life.
"See Master."
Seeing this, Ye Yilan interceded for him: "Don't blame him, I made my own decision."
Making your own decisions?
If he hadn't ordered him before, why would he have allowed her to appear here?
There was a doting smile on his face, and he smiled slightly: "I understand you, otherwise I wouldn't have let you come out so smoothly."
She hoped that he would no longer understand her very well.
I remember that when I sent him back that night, I didn't dare to get so close to him. Now that I think about it, how stupid I was back then. Along the way, I couldn't help but ask: "This time, did you discuss going to Jiangnan?"
"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows: "I'm just afraid that you will make me worry about this journey."
