Chapter Ninety-Eight: Drunk, Dreaming, Shaohua(1/2)
Looking at the long corridor, there is no end as far as the eye can see.
The body was trembling, without any support, and seemed to be about to fall.
He stepped back and leaned against the pillar, laughing uncontrollably.
That laugh, so sarcastic and disdainful.
"Didn't anyone tell the princess that this visit was all about marriage?"
After hearing these words, she finally knew her purpose of coming here.
He is too cruel.
He had always had a plan of his own, but he believed it again.
They are brothers and sisters, how could he betray his sister?
Marry Murong Haochen? But he loves Ye Yilan, how can he...
No, she will not get married or become their appendage.
When she heard this sentence, she tried her best to show that she didn't care, and kept smiling with her innocent mouth.
Drink the wine bottle in front of you one sip at a time, just to make yourself drunk, and maybe all your worries will disappear.
But it was useless. She was in pain. She wanted to escape. But where could she go?
Tonight was extremely cold, so she curled up and hugged herself tightly.
"Princess, princess..."
She seemed to hear someone calling her, and her drunken body was unable to wake up. She closed her eyes slightly and fell asleep unconsciously.
The night is still young, drunk, drunk and lustful, in the dreamy youth.
Who drinks a pot of moonshine?
Who is obsessed with beauty?
Time is agarwood, ink dyes the years.
When the wind blows and the dust falls, I draw lines of words on paper, listen to the wind and paint dreams, and my memory is whirling.
When the music and singing have died down, the moon is slanting and people are quiet.
There was no sound in the quiet Chenlan Palace, only the candlelight swaying gently.
He was lying on the bed, with the strong smell of alcohol permeating the surroundings.
Wiping his forehead carefully, he quickly ordered Han Yuan: "Hurry and prepare some sobering soup for the emperor."
"Yes, I will go and prepare immediately." Han Yuan secretly took a look at the emperor's condition, maybe he had drunk a little wine.
Seeing her anxious look, Murong Haochen held her hand and smiled with a smile: "I just drank a little wine, nothing serious."
Following her hand, the moment he stood up and hugged her, his whole body felt much more relaxed.
Smelling the smell of alcohol all over his body, she frowned and tried to push him away: "Don't touch me, I'm all smelling of alcohol."
Hearing her coquettish voice filled my ears, I felt warm in my heart.
He has never been very good at drinking. If he didn't drink it in front of Han Xin, wouldn't it be a joke?
He deliberately revealed the marriage issue just to test Han Xin, but she had been deliberately avoiding it. Every time she drank a sip of wine, he knew that she didn't know about it.
He hugged her body tightly, his head felt a little dizzy, he closed his eyes and spoke weakly: "If you hadn't left the palace selfishly, what happened today wouldn't have happened."
She stretched out her hand along his back and slowly comforted him: "Will what happened today have any impact on you?"
She has always been uneasy about leaving the palace.
What he said was right, if he had not left the palace, such a thing would not have happened.
Influence?
In Zuixiang Tower, he only appeared in front of them as the fourth master. They all looked up to him, so how could they be afraid of them.
This time, he announced the matter to the public just to let them know that no one should bully his woman.
He looked at her with drunken eyes and wanted to kiss her with the smell of alcohol all over his body, but she turned her head away. He smiled indifferently and said, "They don't know my identity, so they all call me Fourth Master."
"The people in Zuixianglou are all yours, right?"
Hearing this, Murong Haochen grabbed her shoulders, stared at her with several scrutiny, and said in a serious voice: "How can you see it?"
At first, she had never really doubted it, but when she saw a person, all his actions convinced her. Her scrutinizing eyes were filled with a trace of puzzlement.
"When the waiter in the shop took out the dagger, I recognized the dagger. Nian Qing held it at the beginning, but now it is in my hand. I guessed that Zuixianglou has something to do with you."
The two of them looked at each other, never giving the other any room to escape.
"The person behind this Zuixiang Tower is me."
In order to obtain more powerful information, all the people inside are his subordinates.
They will only learn anything from those people, and it is more like holding each of their lives tightly in their own hands.
At this moment, he didn't want to hide anything. Apart from Ye Xunyu, only Ye Yilan knew about this matter.
She is too sensitive and nothing can be hidden from her.
It turned out that he had been hiding such a big secret in Xuandu City in the Zuixiang Tower. Almost no one knew who was behind the scenes.
Ye Yilan subconsciously avoided his eyes, as if she had done something wrong and did not dare to look at him.
"You must not tell others about this." He held her face, kissed the corner of her lips involuntarily, and warned in a low voice, "Don't have any contact with her?"
"Why?" She didn't know why he said this.
Even he didn't know it, but he always felt that there were some unknown secrets about Han Xin.
He didn't understand Han Xin and could not trust Ye Yilan to her.
Seeing him smiling and saying nothing, she pushed herself out of bed with a trembling body. Seeing his behavior, Ye Yilan quickly grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"You smell like alcohol, go take a shower." He dragged her hips up and pressed her closely against his body. "Why, my beloved concubine, you want to come with me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" She shyly turned her head away and pushed him away gently. "Go quickly."
"Your Majesty, sober up..."
Before he could finish his words, Murong Haochen was stunned.
Looking back at her, the doting affection in his eyes disappeared indifferently.
Even the smile on his lips became unfathomable.
The smoke from the cooking pot rises from the spring pool, and the aroma of wine spreads, making your body light.
Lying down in the bathtub, his whole body relaxed a lot. At that moment, he really relaxed his vigilance.
The alcoholism kept hitting him, and he was trying hard to control himself.
As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the image of her appearing in front of him today.
He would do anything for her, even sacrifice. But for her, sometimes he really didn't know whether he was sincere to himself.
As time went by, he gradually began to doubt her sincerity. For some reason, the more calmly she smiled, he still had a lot of distrust in her.
I still can't understand whether her heart is truly transparent to me.
Sometimes, he wanted to escape just to know her feelings for him, but she turned out to be dependent on him.
The past reappeared scene by scene, and all the threads were entangled, making it impossible for him to untie the knot in the middle.
His irritable heart hit the water hard, and the splashing water wet his face.
Her gentle eyes are really hard to see through.
Close your eyes, lean on the wall, and rest.
Feiyu had been waiting outside the bath. When he saw the emperor changing his clothes, he handed over the letter in his hand: "Your Majesty, this is the information found."
He looked at the letter and glanced at it casually. When he was about to open the letter, he hesitated. He thought deeply: "What's the news?"
"As usual, no one took any action." Feiyu reported to the emperor according to the information they gave him, but the rest was unknown.
No action?
On the contrary, it is becoming more and more mysterious.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly in a meaningful smile.
He held the letter tightly in his hand, with a cold air in his eyes. He looked at him coldly and proudly, and said in a cold voice: "Did Princess Beimo go back safely?"
"Sir, Princess Beimo has been sent back."
She is the princess sent by the Northern Desert for marriage, how could she be allowed to suffer any injustice?
Today, however, I saw her getting herself drunk. It must have been very sad to know the truth.
He kept it secret from her and asked Ye Xunyu to follow behind him to prevent her from making any mistakes along the way.
Although this matter could not involve the Ye family, he had promised her that he could not interfere with it, but he still did it after all.
To be continued...
