Yun Ruofeng watched Qin Ling carry Wei Mohai on his back, and watched his body being carefully put into the carriage. His brother, never breathed anymore, never woke up again.
I looked up at a crescent moon in the night sky. In the past state banquets, the moon was round. This year, the three days of state banquets are crescent moons. The ominous sign, Wei Mohai's death, he is responsible.
Yun Ruofeng's brows were not soothing, and there was an unresolved sadness in his eyes. Without riding a carriage or riding a horse, he walked alone in the cool night breeze. The bright moonlight shone on him, reflecting a long shadow, lonely and desolate, so he walked back to the Cloud Palace without saying a word. ,Poker face.
The guards guarding the gate of Prince Yun's Mansion were shocked when they saw it. King Yun was never like this. They didn't know what happened, so they didn't dare to come forward and ask each one.
Yun Ruofeng didn't say a word, and walked into the palace. All the guards realized that there was something wrong, so they didn't dare to say a word, quietly watching King Yun drifting away.
Yun Ruofeng walked all the way to the main courtyard of the palace, walked into the house, and came directly to his bed. He didn't speak, his eyes flashed with a gleam. After a while, he knelt down, there was a wooden box under the bed, and he took out the wooden box.
The wooden box is made of mahogany and is of medium size. When opened, there is only a small black box inside. Yun Ruofeng narrowed his eyes, took out the small black box, and examined it carefully.
Finally, he closed the wooden box and put it back in place, still holding the small black box in his hand. A smile gradually rose from the corner of his mouth, and he gently stroked the box, as if touching a person's face.
After a while, Yun Ruofeng smiled softly, "Everyone thinks your body was thrown into a mass grave or abandoned in the wilderness. No one knows, I secretly burned your body, turned it into a handful of ashes, and put it in Under the bed, your dearest emperor doesn’t know. Ning Rulan, since your soul is back, why don’t you come to me? Remove the people around me one by one, and finally come to me, right?"
At this point, Yun Ruofeng’s laughter grew louder and louder. He held the black box tightly, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes, "You have grievances and resentments in your heart, just look for me. Ning Rulan, why? If you don't find me, when will you come to me?"
The laughter became more and more bleak. Finally, he stopped the laughter, and a cold light burst into his eyes, "If you come to revenge in such a hurry, people will die. You should be waiting for me by the Naihe bridge. At that time, your hatred in your heart, I can repay it. In this life, I owe you, but I don’t regret it. If I can come back again, Ning Rulan..."
Yun Ruofeng looked at the small black box, and couldn’t help being gentle. "Ning Rulan, I will still kill you. If you are a man, we will be good comrades in arms, brothers. But you are a woman, too Arbitrarily, I have to intervene in everything, I can't keep you."
After speaking, Yun Ruofeng carefully held the black wooden box and walked all the way to the Wangfu Lake.
A moment later, Yun Ruofeng walked to the lake and stood upright. By the lake, there are willow trees planted, and the willow trees have changed from the verdant color in spring to the slightly yellowish color now.
He took out the black wooden box, put it on his chest, and then opened it, "Ning Rulan, you are so dazzling and dazzling. After a fire, you are a handful of ashes. I heard that people’s ashes are scattered in the cold lake water and waited until In winter, the cold water of the lake will suppress the soul. At that time, will your soul come?"
Yun Ruofeng whispered softly, with a gentle smile on his face, he took a handful of ashes in his hands and scattered them toward the lake, "You like me the most with a gentle smile, and now I smile and put you on the bottom of the Yunwangfu Lake."
The voice was light, with a warm smile on his face, his ashes drifted into the lake with the night breeze, and merged with the lake water. Yun Ruofeng sprinkled the ashes into the lake. In the end, there was only an empty black wooden box.
Yun Ruofeng laughed and scattered the wooden box into the lake. The wooden box floated on the lake like a small boat. Finally, the wooden box was soaked by the lake water and gradually sank to the bottom of the lake.
Yun Ruofeng still stood upright by the lake, without speaking, standing quietly, with a smile on his face gradually retracted, and his eyes look like ink.
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps behind him, followed by a respectful voice, and the person coming was Qin Ling, "The King of Clouds."
After calling out, Qin Ling directly knelt down, "I hope that King Yun will take back the order and let the woman make a living. This is a letter that his subordinates accidentally found in the Wei Tong mansion."
After speaking, Qin Ling handed over the letter. Originally, he sent someone to kill the woman tonight, but after seeing a letter led by Wei Tong, he changed his mind and decided to ask King Yun.
Yun Ruofeng took the letter, followed the moonlight after opening it, and looked at the letter carefully.
The pen and ink are dull, and this letter has been written for a long time. The woman married two years ago. In the letter, Wei Mohai sent blessings and said that her happiness is the most important thing. However, the letter has been kept in the mansion and has not been sent, nor has the blessings been sent.
Yun Ruofeng sneered and handed the letter to Qin Ling, "This king's order will not be changed. Wei Mohai has no children. He needs someone to guard him for life and do it quickly."
Qin Ling's heart jumped suddenly, and he wanted to speak, but saw the cold in King Yun's eyes. He had never seen King Yun like this before, and even if he couldn't bear the heart, he could only get up cruelly, and after saluting respectfully, he turned around to execute the order.
Qin Ling clenched his hands. As a soldier, although he had killed many people, he had no conscience. Because of that, the enemy must be killed to defend the country. But now, if he wants him to attack a woman and kill her husband and children, if she doesn't follow it, her family can't let it go.
All innocent people, how can he bear it! But, if not, what can be done
For the first time, Qin Ling felt that he had encountered a problem. If he did not accept his orders, King Yun would definitely blame it. If he takes orders, his conscience will be disturbed throughout his life.
When Qin Ling walked to the gate of the Cloud Palace, he happened to see Piaoxu standing in the Cloud Palace with anxious expression on his face.
After seeing Qin Ling, Piaoxu immediately said, "I have something to see King Yun, Qin guard, let them let me in!"
The guard of Prince Yun's Mansion held a halberd, blocking Piaoxu's path.
Qin Ling looked at Piaoxu, "What's the matter with you? It's not convenient to see you in the situation of King Yun."
"Something happened to the princess! The emperor made an order to capture the princess and take her to the imperial tomb overnight."
When Qin Ling heard this, he felt that the incident was not trivial, so he looked at the guard and guard of King Yun's Mansion, "Report this to King Yun quickly, and King Yun is in front of the lake in the Royal Mansion Garden."
After all, he is a close friend of Wei Mohai, and Wei Mohai's status is self-evident. What Qin Ling said is also a bit heavier.
So, the guards and guards entered the house immediately.
Piaoxu was waiting anxiously, her hand gripping the sleeve tightly. She didn't understand why the emperor had such great power! Of the six, three were taken to lower taxes. This time, I directly ordered someone to catch the princess!
