In the imperial study, Lin Yixuan sat at the desk, with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know why there was a riot in Pingliang City, if it was true, someone must have done it on purpose. But...... The biggest problem was that he didn't know where to start. Qingluan asked him to help her, how could he shirk it?
And that's probably the only thing she can do to help her, right? Scold...... It's really useless to yourself. Lin Yixuan's eyes crossed a little helplessly, he smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up the fold next to his hand, and began to flip through it. There are too many things waiting for him to deal with, and now the relationship between Southern Wei and Western Chu has not yet eased, and he has no right to rest.
"Your Majesty! The commander of the forbidden army asks to see you! The eunuch's shrill voice sounded, causing Lin Yixuan to feel upset. He frowned, and said in a low voice, "Come in." The door opened, and a tall man entered.
He has good facial features and a deep countenance.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." The Commander knelt down. "Get up." Lin Yixuan put down the fold and stared at him, "What is there to tell you?" โ
"This ......" The commander of the forbidden army was a little entangled, and he looked away.
Lin Yixuan's expression froze, "Say!" โ
"Yes! Recently, the incident in Pingliang City has made the people panic, and the king of Chu has indeed disappeared, but I don't know who did it, and his subordinates have also brought people to check, and they have no clue. โ
"Is that true?" Lin Yixuan didn't believe it originally, who could make Nalan Ye disappear? He thought that Luo Qingluan was lying to him, but he didn't expect what she said to be true.
"Absolutely." The Commander nodded, not speaking again.
"Your Majesty, Guang Bo Hou asks to see you!" The eunuch's distinctive voice sounded again. "Xuan." Lin Yixuan stood up, his hands behind his back were full of deep face. Things seem to be getting more and more complicated, in fact, he is also very entangled, whether to help Luo Qingluan or not? He actually didn't want to find Nalan Ye, he was still selfish.
Guang Bohou walked in and saluted respectfully. Then he got straight to the point and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something important to tell." He swept over to the commander of the forbidden army standing on the side, and didn't shy away from anything.
"What?"
"This is the secret fold of the city lord of Pingliang City." Guang Bohou said, took out a fold from his arms, and handed it to Lin Yixuan.
Lin Yixuan took the secret fold, and his heart was mixed. The excerpt of the city lord of Pingliang City? Nalan Ye also disappeared in Pingliang City, right? It seems that this excerpt has nothing to do with Nalan Night. Does it mean that there will be a clue to Nalan Night?
Flipping through the fold, Lin Yixuan's face became deeper the more he looked at it. He pursed his lips, a hint of patience flashing between his eyebrows. He thought about a lot of results, and thought that Nalan Ye disappeared because he was chased and killed. Unexpectedly, he actually had ill intentions and tried to occupy Pingliang City! Fortunately, Zheng Feng was strictly guarded and tried his best to stop Nalan Ye's intentions! But...... Pingliang City also suffered heavy losses, with countless casualties!
Seeing Lin Yixuan's darkened face, Guang Bohou's heart blossomed. He knew that it was all in his plan. Soon, whether it is the king of Chu or the princess of Chu, they will all explain to the Southern Wei Dynasty! Thinking about it, a trace of excitement crossed Guang Bohou's eyes. But he couldn't be too public, so he had to suppress this joy. The biggest problem at the moment is to make His Majesty trust himself completely.
"Your Majesty......" Guang Bohou called softly
With a sound, he said: "Zheng Feng, the city lord of Pingliang City, resisted desperately, just to protect the land of Southern Wei, it is really well-intentioned!" โ
"Hmm." Lin Yixuan's voice was slightly hoarse, and his eyes were piercing, "Reward!" When this matter is resolved, he will be promoted! โ
Hearing this, Guang Bohou lowered his head, and a smile crossed his eyes. When he asked Zheng Feng for help, the other party was hesitant, and when he heard that he could help him say a few kind words in front of His Majesty and promote him to an official, he immediately became flattering. This Zheng Feng is really a guy who tends to be inflammatory! But this is fine, you don't have to waste too much energy, as long as you give enough benefits, you can find a reliable helper.
Zheng Feng helped trap Nalan Ye and implemented the "Hongmen Banquet", so it was best to trap Nalan Ye in Pingliang City. It's just that Guang Bohou doesn't know that Nalan Ye is not so easy to die? So, another plan began. That is, to find Lin Yixuan. As long as an illusion is created to make everyone think that it is the King of Chu who wants to attack the Southern Wei Dynasty, then Nalan Ye will become a rat crossing the street, and everyone will shout and fight! He doesn't have to do it himself, and someone will solve it for him, isn't it beautiful?
Besides, Luo Qingluan is the woman of the King of Chu, how can His Majesty spare her? Even for the sake of the friendship of the past, with the opposition of so many people in the Southern Wei Dynasty, His Majesty would not be able to spare her! The death penalty can be avoided, but the living sin cannot be escaped! Guang Bohou would not let Luo Qingluan die so easily, he wanted to watch her suffer torture and humiliation!
Who made her so presumptuous and dared to hurt Gao'er like that! not only ruined Gao'er's reputation, but also broke the Xu family! Thinking of his motionless son who was still lying on the bed, Guang Bohou felt a heartache. If you don't take revenge, you will be in vain!
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Guang Bohou's tone was low, and some deep meaning flashed in his eyes. He originally thought that it would take a long time to convince His Majesty, but he didn't expect him to believe it so quickly, is it really God helping him?
"Xu Aiqing." Lin Yixuan thought for a moment and called his name, "And you." He looked at the commander of the forbidden army standing on the side and ordered: "You go to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the king of Chu, and you must not make a noise." That's right, Xu Aiqing. โ
"Your Majesty, may I ask?"
"How are the people of Pingliang City doing now?" This is what Lin Yixuan is worried about. He is afraid that the people will panic, and when the time comes, he is afraid that he will cause a big mess again.
"Nothing, the news was under control and did not spread. The only few people who know have been settled, and the news will not be revealed. Guang Bohou assured.
"That'll be fine." Lin Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Go ahead." โ
"Yes." The two responded in unison.
After the two of them left for a long time, Lin Yixuan came back to his senses. He sat down in his chair in frustration, his face a little pale. He habitually took out the scroll and looked at the people on the painting carefully, only to feel a lot of relief. Not surprisingly, this is Luo Qingluan's portrait. Lin Yixuan has always kept it on his desk, and only this portrait can make him look directly, right?
And Luo Qingluan ...... He probably didn't have the courage to face her, did he? Every time I look at it, I feel a little heavier. I don't know, does she know about Nalan Ye? If he knew that Nalan Ye wanted to occupy Pingliang City, how would Qingluan react? Will she believe it?
"Qingluan, what do you want from me
What to do? Lin Yixuan only felt a throbbing pain in his head, he was in great pain, hugged his head that was about to explode, and propped it on the table with pain. Although Nalan Ye had already made up his mind to attack the Southern Wei Dynasty, he ...... He was still reluctant. Because once the two countries go to war, it is not only unfair to the people, but also ...... Unfairness to Qingluan. How could he bear to see Qingluan sad?
Nalan Ye has already attacked Pingliang City, and now he doesn't know where to flee. But Qingluan, how would he know? Or are they planning to work together inside and out? No, no, no, how is that possible? Lin Yixuan patted his forehead to keep himself awake. Why is he so confused? Why do you think about Qingluan like this?
Qingluan cares about the world, how can she take the initiative to cause disputes.
"Help you ......" A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Yixuan's eyes. Before, Luo Qingluan had already made it clear that it was impossible to go back to the past, and he only wanted to be a stranger. But just now, she actually said that if she helped her find Nalan Ye, she would be able to release her suspicions.
This...... It's too suspicious, isn't it? What Qingluan said would never change, but, for the sake of Nalan Ye, maybe she would really do it. Thinking of this, a wry smile crossed Lin Yixuan's face, and the corners of his lips were hooked, full of sarcasm. It's been a year, why haven't you forgotten it? Do you remember it more deeply?
Lin Yixuan was helpless, and he returned to the dormitory in frustration.
"Your Majesty......" The eunuch followed, and when he saw that his brows were tightly knit, he wanted to ask. As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Lin Yixuan, only to hear him say coldly, "Let's all stand down." โ
"Yes." Lin Yixuan was the only one left in the huge dormitory, he faded his golden dragon robe, and his face turned a little pale. Yes, it's been a year, and his feelings for Luo Qingluan haven't deteriorated at all. It's just herself, intersecting with her, it's already a dispensable existence, right?
"Will you lie to me?" A bitter smile tugged at the corner of Lin Yixuan's mouth, he pursed his lips, and his eyes became deep. She loves Nalan Ye so much, she will definitely support him, right? Therefore, even if Nalan Ye is ready to provoke a dispute between the two countries, she will stand by Nalan Ye's side and accompany him all the time, right? Why is her love so humble, and she doesn't want to look at herself more? Is there really no fate?
"If I give up this country for you, you will ......"
"Forget it, you won't."
Because you never loved me at all, huh? Lin Yixuan lay down on the bed weakly, and a little helplessness flashed in his eyes. Either way, it's a foregone conclusion. He has no chance at all, and he should be, shouldn't think about it.
It was getting late, and the palace maid knocked on the door, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat." โ
Lin Yixuan didn't speak, his expression was gloomy. After a long time, the palace maid outside the door saw that there was no sound in the house, and she didn't dare to break in rashly, so she left with the medicinal food. Perhaps, all this is fake? Lin Yixuan smiled helplessly, but the news had already arrived, and Nalan Ye had indeed disappeared. At this time, it's probably true, so it's time to talk to Qingluan, right?
Even if she really wants to annex Southern Wei with Nalan Ye, then he wants to ask her personally! Lin Yixuan closed his eyes, only to feel a little throbbing pain in his head, he had been nervous for too long. No matter what the result is, he hopes that his relationship with Qingluan will not be the same as before......
