It is still the north of Tianlong City.
This is a quiet grove, Ye Wuchen and Long Huang'er are holding a chubby rabbit leg, eating with gusto. Long Huang'er has eaten all kinds of rabbit meat countless times, but there has never been a single one that is as delicious as the one in her hands.
This rabbit was caught by Long Huang'er herself, Ye Wuchen just "little" helped in the dark.
"I'm full!"
She raised her little hand indecently, and the long bone was thrown out, and then it hit the fallen leaves all over the ground with a soft sound. With Ye Wuchen, she does everything so casually, completely forgetting her princess status.
Patting her stomach, she said with unsatisfied interest: "Let's go and catch another one, I never knew, it turns out that rabbits are so easy to catch."
That's because I controlled it to run obediently in your direction... Ye Wuchen secretly smiled.
Ye Wuchen wiped the corners of Long Huang'er's mouth, helped her arrange her clothes and hair, and said with a smile: "Huang'er, can you play hide-and-seek?"
"Hide and seek?" Long Huang'er's eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly: "Of course. I often play with those little eunuchs and maids of honor. It's just that they are so stupid, and I always find them right away."
Ye Wuchen naturally knew that it wasn't that they were too stupid, but that they had to use their "stupidity" to please the princess. He smiled and said: "Since Huang'er is so powerful, let's play hide-and-seek... It's in this woods."
Although this is just a small forest that spreads less than two miles long, it has obviously existed for a long time. There are many thick and big trees that can completely cover an adult.
"Okay, okay. But if you lose, what kind of punishment will you get?"
"If you lose, you have to kiss if you win, does Huang'er dare to play?" Ye Wuchen said.
Long Huang'er's eyes flickered, she blinked, as if she had thought of something, her face blushed slightly, and she whispered: "Of course I dare... But, you have to hide it first, let me find it... you can't hide it Too far away, otherwise you will lose."
"Okay." Ye Wuchen hooked her little nose with a smile, and then gently turned her body over: "Close your eyes, and you can turn around after counting to five, don't be foolish."
His hand quietly moved away from Long Huang'er's shoulder. With her eyes closed, Long Huang'er felt him disappear behind her before she started counting, because she couldn't smell him.
After counting five numbers softly, she turned around quickly. He was nowhere to be seen from front, back, left, or right. In the empty woods, she seemed to be the only one left.
"I'm starting to look for it." She shouted, and then took small steps, step by step, carefully searching every corner where people could hide.
Above her head, a large piece of withered and yellowed thick branches and leaves completely covered Ye Wuchen who was standing on a branch. He quietly looked at Long Huang'er's petite figure, and sighed softly: "Is it right or wrong to do this..."
He has several ways to achieve the same purpose. But starting from Long Huang'er is the simplest and most direct one. Now that it has started... Ye Wuchen has no intention of changing his mind. But no matter whether the result deviated from his expectation or not, he vowed to give Long Huang'er a perfect ending. She shouldn't be a tragic princess.
sand... sand... sand...
It was Mid-Autumn Festival, and the sound of birdsong was hardly heard in the forest. All Long Huang'er could hear was her own footsteps. She kept walking forward, occasionally took a few tentative steps, her eyes were still looking around, but her heart had begun to feel a little uneasy.
"Come out, I've seen you." She shouted to the front.
There was no voice to answer her, a fallen leaf floated down from the top of the head, and slowly fell to the ground with the depression of autumn, making a slight landing sound.
She took a few more steps forward. For the princess who had been in the palace for thirteen years, such a small forest could easily make her lose her way, unable to distinguish east from west, north from south, or even where she came from. direction to come.
It was obviously a short time, but she felt that she had been gone for a long time. The heart is also more and more fearful and uneasy in the silence. She dreaded the feeling and regretted playing hide and seek with him, depriving her of his presence. She hoped that he would suddenly appear in her sight, and then hug her to drive away the fear in her heart.
"Come out soon, I don't want to play anymore, let's play something else..." She was afraid that he would be far away from her and she would not be able to hear him, so she shouted with her loudest voice, but there was still no response, and the surrounding was eerily quiet. Unlike yesterday's thunderstorm, today even the wind is so soft and quiet.
"I really don't want to play... can you come out quickly?"
"I admit defeat, come out quickly... I don't want to be alone, I will be so scared."
She shouted loudly, and the silence around her made the panic in her heart expand and expand again... She began to wonder if he had left her and left secretly. Once this horrible thought appeared, it never went away.
"Come out quickly, I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play anymore!" Long Huang'er's voice began to tremble. This feeling frightened her more than the night of thunder and lightning. In other words, she has never been so afraid in her entire life.
Tears began to roll in his eyes, and the world in front of him became blurred. She was so frightened that she squatted on the ground, huddled her body, and began to cry. The cry with a distinctly childlike voice came out with a heartbreaking sadness, echoing among the groves.
A pair of hands wrapped around her slender waist from behind, and then hugged her in his arms. The owner of the hand said softly: "Who made my little princess cry? I tell you, your future husband will go ruthless." Teach him a lesson."
"I've caught you." Long Huang'er who was crying suddenly broke into a smile, both hands firmly wrapped around his neck, for fear that he would run away from her again: "So, you lost. "
Her smile was real, and so were her tears. But not angry, complaining. Ye Wuchen's heartstrings were gently plucked, and the arms holding her couldn't help tightening.
"Okay, I lost, how will my little princess punish me?"
"As you said, if you lose, you have to kiss to win... No, it's a lot of bets, you can't renege on it." She pouted slightly, closed her eyes, and quietly moved her face closer to Ye Wuchen a few times. point. The face as delicate as snow is still dotted with pearl-like crystals.
Ye Wuchen felt infinite pity in his heart, and gently kissed her face and eyes, kissing away her tears one by one. Finally, it stayed on her petite rhomboid lips, gently sucking the sweetness of a girl. Even he himself was surprised why he made such a move. Maybe it was because of her tears and the teary smile on her face the moment she saw him.
Long Huang'er blushed, shyly enjoying his love and affection and this kind of intimacy that made her heart beat countless times faster.
Long Huang'er's obsession with Ye Wuchen was originally mostly due to instinctive dependence on close people. And this light kiss caused this relationship to slowly deteriorate. Let Long Huang'er's feelings towards Ye Wuchen gradually transform into deeper and deeper feelings in the next period of time.
It was also from this moment that Long Huang'er was no longer simply a pawn that Ye Wuchen used to plot against the Tianlong Kingdom, and his plan that had been brewing for a long time also changed drastically.
…
When Ye Wuchen returned to Ye's house, it was already the time when the setting sun was like blood, and when he was at the door, he happened to meet Ye Wei who was about to step in. His expression moved Ye Wuchen's heart, and he asked: "Did something happen?"
After roughly calculating the time, Ye Wuchen understood in his heart, and an imperceptible smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.
"That's right, the Empress suddenly fell ill this afternoon. Her whole body turned black, her vitality declined, and she collapsed on the bed without the strength to speak. All the imperial doctors and bright magicians in the palace were helpless. They all said that no one had ever seen such a monster. Sick." Ye Wei said, frowning. At this time, everyone in the palace speculated that someone had used some weird method to assassinate the queen, and the Lin family, who was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, even pointed at the Ye family insinuatingly under their rage.
"Oh, so that's the case. There are countless famous doctors in Tianlong Kingdom. With the emperor's ability, a little illness shouldn't bother him." Ye Wuchen said indifferently, obviously he didn't care about this matter.
"This is not a minor illness." Ye Wei shook his head cautiously: "The whole body is black, and the vitality is declining, but there is still no cause. According to what the imperial doctor said, according to the current situation, the queen will eventually die. Will die by tomorrow afternoon."
After the fall of a country, the matter can be big or small, but for the Lin family, they will definitely make a big fuss about it. Before all the truth comes to light, this unclear account will be calculated on the Ye family's head through this method. This is also the style of the Lin family for so many years. And for such a big event, it must be a big move to come to the Lin family.
Ye Wuchen responded lightly, with a gesture completely irrelevant to him, not interested in asking about this matter, walked leisurely back to his small courtyard, and shouted at the entrance of the courtyard: "Xue'er, Tong Heart, let's go shopping!"
Ningxue was lying on the bed teaching Tongxin how to read and write, although she didn't know many characters, all of them were taught by Ye Wuchen, but she taught them very seriously. Tong Xin has been listening carefully, never distracted, she looks like a well-behaved student.
"Brother is back!" Hearing the shout, the two jumped off the bed at the same time, and ran out of the courtyard happily one after the other.
At this time, the palace was already in chaos. The royal doctors in the palace, the famous "miracle doctors" of Tianlong City came in and out, all of them were sweating profusely—of course, it was cold sweat.
Empress Lin Xiu was lying on the bed without moving, let alone moving, she almost didn't even have the strength to speak. He could only half-open his almost desperate eyes. Her face was covered with a strange layer of gray gas, and that layer of gray gas obviously didn't float on her body surface, but permeated from inside her body to outside her body.
