The blue-feathered cherry blossoms followed Ziluo along the green bricks of the atrium, through the rockery and to the verandah of the side hall. The land of the Western Regions was filled with abundant flowers and grass, and even in the palace, gurgling water could be seen everywhere.
If it were in the past, she would have been full of praise for the environment here.
But now, when she saw these rare plants and flowers, she could no longer feel any excitement in her heart.
Su Qianle's room was very elegant. The flower windows were covered with light blue gauze, and a bead curtain separated the inner room from the outer hall.
Entering the main entrance is a small hall. There is light coming in from behind the flowered window. There are a few couches under the window, and a few knick-knacks are placed on the couches. Two plum blossoms are offered in white porcelain vases. Now they have withered and fallen on the table. petal.
"Brother treats her well." Lan Yuying said calmly.
Zi Luo couldn't tell whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied, so she could only argue: "The prince doesn't know what you want to bring her back for, so he keeps her like this in your palace."
Su Qianle heard the noise outside and rushed out of the room. What she saw was that Lan Yuying was wearing a sky blue Luo Yi, with tangled flower branches blooming brilliantly on her sleeves and placket. Her black hair was rolled up loosely. There are only two or three pink beaded flowers on the temples, which are indescribably charming.
Her eyes suddenly became sharper, and then disappeared in her eyes for a moment.
"Please step back, I want to talk to her alone." Lan Yuying waved gently to Zi Luo.
"Yes." Zi Luo responded respectfully, retreated and stood guard outside the courtyard.
Under Su Qianle's unwavering gaze, Lan Yuying walked to the table and sat down. She picked up the withered plum blossom petals on the table and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Do you think Ah Chu likes plum blossoms?"
Not to be outdone, Su Qianle sat down opposite her and replied firmly: "I saw Li Xinlan buying a large number of plum trees and transplanting them in Yunqi Courtyard, isn't that right?"
"When Ah Chu was young, what he hated most was plum blossoms." Lan Yuying said as she took out the plum blossom branches from the white porcelain vase.
The candlelight spread into her eyes, sparkling with a hint of nostalgia that Su Qianle couldn't see through.
"Do you still remember the plum blossom hairpin in her bun?" Lan Yuying raised the corners of her eyes, glanced at her from the corner of her eye, and saw her nodding dullly, then she smiled and asked: "Do you remember when she was Is it on a hairpin?"
Many images quickly flashed through Su Qianle's mind, and they stopped at the night when river lanterns were put out on Chinese Valentine's Day. It was clearly a silver hairpin, and then...
Lan Yuying saw a sudden light in her eyes, and then she looked at her and said the important point: "That hairpin was given by His Highness King Mo, because he likes plum blossoms, so Ah Chu likes it."
Su Qianle's face was startled for a brief moment and then suddenly hardened: "I already knew she was a woman, you don't need to bother reminding me."
Lan Yuying pinched one end of the plum blossom branch and used the other end to lift Su Qianle's chin: "I'm not reminding you, I just don't understand why she can love Wujiwu, but you have to use such despicable methods. .”
Su Qianle waved her hand and opened the plum blossom branch, and said in a sharp tone: "Why are you trying to show me such a noble attitude? You knew she was a woman early in the morning, and you teamed up with her to act like a lover and a concubine in front of me. Your appearance keeps me awake at night, so you can just sit back and relax?"
Lan Yuying's eyes turned cold: "She was just afraid of hurting your heart, so she wanted you to retreat. Who would have thought that you, such a wolf-hearted thing, would actually bite her back."
Su Qianle had never seen her speak so sternly. The impression she had on Lan Yuying was that she was gentle, generous and soft-spoken.
Lan Yuying paused and her tone became mocking: "I made a mistake. Even if she saved a wolf or a dog and raised it for so many years, she would know how to be grateful."
Su Qianle's originally stunned face suddenly grinned and laughed wantonly: "I knew you were pretending too, pretending to be weak and vulnerable, pretending to be weak and vulnerable, and pretending to be so pity for me. In that begging party, you did it behind your back. He used some tricks to steal my lead. You and I are obviously on the same road, but it’s a coincidence that the young master can’t tolerate me saying anything bad about you.”
Lan Yuying raised her slender arms and slapped her hard. After a crisp sound, Su Qianle covered her face and froze in place.
"You and I are not on the same road, I was just forced by you... to become another person." Lan Yuying's eyes grew colder, which actually made Su Qianle feel an inexplicable chill in her heart.
She watched Lan Yuying stand up and take two steps closer, and couldn't help but also stand up and take two steps back: "Everything I did was just to fly away with her, and I never did any harm to you. I hope you and Xu Wenlan can have a happy relationship." , love grows old."
The three words "Xu Wenlan" made Lan Yuying's complexion turn pale instantly. A cold smile appeared on her face, and she pulled down the wrist that was covering her face: "How can we have sex? If it weren't for you, how could I come in?" Palace? If it weren't for you, how could I bear this feud? If it weren't for you, how could I never have the face to see them two again? "
Su Qianle was pushed to the ground by her, but she couldn't understand what she was angry about.
"Why do you think I brought you to this Western Region? I know Ah Chu's character best. She must be reluctant to kill you, and the last thing I can do for her is to completely lead you, this poisonous snake, away. Get away from her." The candlelight in the outer hall was stirred up by Lan Yuying's turning, and the swaying flames shone brightly in her peach blossom eyes.
"Lan Yuying, you know that I am very important in the young master's heart. That's why you don't dare to kill me, right? You're afraid that the young master will hate you, right?" Su Qianle stumbled up while holding on to the counter, with a smile instead of anger. .
The laughter was harsh, and the murderous intent gradually appeared in Lan Yuying's eyes.
She slowly looked back and looked at Su Qianle, who was smiling almost ferociously, and suddenly felt that she was very ridiculous: "Are you worthy?"
Lan Yuying looked at her white fingers that used to pick flowers and grass, and her back became more and more desolate. She had stabbed the emperor of the Xiao Kingdom, would she still dare not kill her
Her hands were stained with blood, and she was no longer the innocent and carefree Lan Yuying who thought she had no worries in her life.
Between her, Xia Chu and Xu Wenlan, there was no going back because of that knife...
Su Qianle's smile suddenly froze when she heard the words 'you deserve it'. The image of Xia Chu grabbing her by the collar and telling her she wasn't worthy that night kept reappearing in her mind. .
She reached out and tried to catch Lan Yuying who was walking towards the door, but in the end only a piece of clothes slipped from her hands.
The tugging at the corner of her clothes made Lan Yuying pause for a moment, stopping slightly but not looking back.
Her voice was as light as usual, but there was indescribable sadness in her tone: "Don't you know it yet? My surname is Yue, not Lan..."
