Qing Chen looked at his back and smiled slightly. For a person with a cold face and a warm heart, what is there to see in the Empress Dowager's bedroom? She took the prince to the Zhichun Pavilion where Luan Fei was located: "Your Highness, please don't wait long, I will be back in a while."
The prince stood silently beside Luanfei, stroking Luanfei's picturesque eyebrows with his pale fingers, his eyes were infinitely gentle, Qing Chen sighed secretly, and closed the door to go out.
Ye Tianling stood in front of the Empress Dowager's bedroom with his hands behind his back, looking at the moonlight like water outside the window, the bright silver light reflected on his face, making him extraordinarily cold.
Qing Chen quietly walked to his side without making a sound, and the two stood side by side in the vast hall, each silent.
After a while, Ye Tianling asked, "What are you thinking?"
"Think about that bottle of medicine." Qing Chen replied, "It's indeed Crane Crown Red."
"En." Ye Tianling responded casually.
"It's true that the prince is holding Hedinghong, but what Luan Fei drank was not Hedinghong." Qing Chen continued.
Ye Tianling turned his head and looked over: "It's not a red crane, what is that?"
Qing Chen shook his head: "I'm not sure yet, but if I guess correctly, it may be the juice made from something called 'Centrifugal Naihe Grass' in the Jianghu."
"What kind of grass is centrifuging?" Ye Tianling repeated.
"Well," Qing Chen said: "There are records of this kind of poison in the Mingjing. Strictly speaking, it should not be regarded as poison. People will not die after drinking it, but will only have the same symptoms as death, breathing, heartbeat, The pulse, blood pressure, body temperature, and even the metabolism of each organ have reached an extremely low level. If you don't distinguish carefully, you will be mistaken for death. Hmm... this may be a deep anesthetic." Qing Chen said and looked at Ye Tianling Seeing that he frowned strangely at her words, he hurriedly said, "To be exact, it's a kind of medicine that makes people fake death, do you understand?"
Ye Tianling nodded: "I understand the last sentence."
Qing Chen said with a smile: "That's enough. Luanfei and the Crown Prince actually have different medicines in their hands. If it is true as the Crown Prince said, the two of them have long been prepared to die together, then drink it as two bottles of medicine, you say What will happen?"
Ye Tianling's black pupils closed slightly, and their eyes flashed lightly.
Qing Chen said again: "Although I don't know much about this sister Luanfei, I can be sure of two things. First, based on her temperament, I don't believe that she has the intention to overthrow the government, and that she yearns for picking chrysanthemums." Flying on a boat on the five lakes..." She smiled slightly: "This statement is wrong! Second... The Feng family is deeply proud of the family, and the interests of the family are above all else. Luan Fei will do this to make the Feng family guilty. I don't understand."
Ye Tianling looked at her jade face with a slight smile, and felt a feeling of incomprehension. This was the first time someone gave him such an idea, and he asked lightly: "What else?"
Qing Chen smiled at him: "Don't you think the inner court guards are weird?"
Ye Tianling snorted coldly: "Loyal to protect the Lord, exaggerating the truth, but I don't know whether to protect the Lord or harm the Lord."
"That's right." Qing Chen smiled, and a gleam of moonlight flashed in his eyes: "The crown prince went out of the palace privately, and the inner court guards did not stop him, but instead used the excuse of protecting the lord to conflict with the Gyeonggi Division. Making matters worse is tantamount to adding fuel to the flames." .Furthermore, the crown prince must be extremely secretive and careful when he leaves the palace, why is he so well-informed regardless of the news from the Heavenly Emperor or the inner court army?"
Ye Tianling said coldly: "Father knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was out of the palace, and it was Luanfei's personal maid, Jinju, who went to Zhiyuan Hall late at night to inform him, and that leaked it."
"Jin Ju?" Qing Chen said unexpectedly, "Heh, things seem to have become very interesting."
Ye Tianling turned his head and said nothing, staring at her carelessly smiling face, Qing Chen saw that he hadn't moved for a long time, and raised his eyes: "What's wrong?"
The prismatic wooden window was pierced by the moonlight and reflected on the ground, bright and dark, and the whole bedroom was quiet and peaceful. Ye Tianling withdrew his gaze and looked out of the window again: "Why did you tell me this?"
"Huh?" Qing Chen said, "Need a reason?"
Ye Tianling's voice was cold: "Anything you said just now is enough to make the Feng family suffer the crime of killing the family, not to mention Luan Fei, your own life may be lost, and if you don't tell me about this, who will do it again?" Know? Why are you telling me this?"
The moonlight cast a faint veil on Qing Chen's face, quiet and soft. She looked at Ye Tianling's clear eyes, the shadow cast by her long eyelashes moved slightly, and her red lips parted slightly: "It's nothing, just because you are Ye Tianling, and I, am me."
Ye Tianling said: "Aren't you afraid that if I tell Father the truth, I will also be convicted?"
Qing Chen smiled: "Will you?"
The corner of Ye Tianling's mouth twitched slightly: "Maybe."
Qing Chen nodded, still smiling: "Then I've already said it, and I can't take it back." She shrugged: "There is no other way."
Ye Tianling finally laughed out loud. Although it still sounded so cold and indifferent, it was like the wind blowing through the flowing water and breaking through the long river to freeze. The color also brightens up, which is particularly memorable.
But it was only for a moment, he had suppressed his smile, and said: "Don't mention this matter to anyone again, the court is no better than the outside."
Qing Chen nodded: "I have a measure."
Ye Tianling said: "Go and invite His Royal Highness to come back, I'm afraid that it will alarm others, and it will cause trouble if the emperor finds out."
"Okay." Qing Chen took a few steps towards the door, then turned around and stopped suddenly: "Fourth brother, can I trust you?"
Ye Tianling raised his eyebrows lightly: "It seems that you should answer this question yourself."
Standing on the edge of the tall steps, the night wind blows the snow-white sable fur bordered on Qing Chen's robe, hugging her delicate face, she smiled and asked: "So, can you be as good as you were when you were on the horse?" Trust me like a bridge?"
Ye Tianling paused for a moment, and only replied with one word: "Yes."
A little bit of brilliance floated in the phoenix's eyes, and with her touching smile, Qing Chen said slowly: "Then the game has really begun, and it's time to take you to meet someone." After she finished speaking, she turned around with a smile Walking towards the hall, the long hair was gently scattered by the wind, reflected in Ye Tianling's eyes, opened a soft silk net, and in a blink of an eye, it merged with the black pupils and sank into his deep eyes, soundlessly.
