"His Majesty the Emperor has set up this game within a game. What are you going to do next? Do you know?" Leng Yiyao saw the coldness in his pupils as if they were densely packed with swords. She shrugged and smiled softly. That expression didn't look like he had seen through all the truth behind tonight's murder frame-up. Instead, he looked like a child analyzing the solution to an equation.
Lu Chen suddenly looked up at her. Although it was not the first time, she never seemed to be in awe of death. She was clearly only seventeen years old. What kind of past experience had she experienced to be able to turn a blind eye to such a murder
From beginning to end, Zhai Mu put together Leng Yiyao's short sentences and spelled out the murderous intention behind tonight's masked dance. On the one hand, he was shocked by her acumen, but on the other hand, he really couldn't guess. What is the emperor's plan? Wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face by exposing the filthy pus within the royal family
For a moment, except for the thunder and lightning in the distance, there was almost no sound under the entire lighthouse.
Like a giant ship rolling on the sea, it has no direction and is still wandering in confusion.
A black car suddenly drove past. He probably didn't expect that someone would be "chatting" here in such bad weather. The owner of the car lowered the rear window and glanced at the lighthouse, only to see Leng Yiyao and himself. The younger brother stood there and suddenly became very angry. When she just left, she was given a cold look by the princess. Now, she just wanted to leave such an unlucky place quickly.
At that time, she just casually chatted with Captain Lu about the recent trends in the royal family. She took a second look at the girl her brother was obsessed with recently. Who knew that it would be recorded by the surveillance camera. In the eyes of outsiders, she, a eldest princess who was far away from the center of power, got involved with the first guard chief beside the emperor as soon as she returned to the palace, and she must have some agenda. She was blamed for this inexplicably, but now that she is dead and there is no evidence, who can she ask to verify the truth
Glancing at Leng Yiyao coldly, she felt that this person was a nuisance. She was too lazy to stay here for a second. She directly raised the rear window of the car and told the driver to leave.
In the dark moonlit night, Leng Yiyao watched with interest as the black car drove away quickly, turned around, and smiled faintly at Lu Chen, who looked increasingly ugly: "Elder Princess, you are really an interesting person."
Lu Chen was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know whether her words were a rebuttal or a rebuttal. There was really no sign of praise or criticism at all. But thinking that the eldest sister barely said a word to him that night, he couldn't help but sneer.
"We have a normal relationship." We were not born from the same mother. For so many years, the eldest princess had not even looked down on her mother-in-law. When she was favored in her early years, she was not yet born. After she was sent to the frontier, she only saw her once or twice a year at royal gatherings for so many years. It was quite polite to say they were on good terms. They are just blood relatives.
Leng Yiyao looked at the distant smile on his lips and curled her lips slightly: "Believe it or not, this matter is far from over!"
Lu Chen's eyes were startled. Leng Yiyao's slightly playful voice, in the midst of the storm, became more and more strange and teasing, teasing the darkest side of people's hearts. "What do you mean?" he asked subconsciously.
"The reason why people from the political circles were invited to investigate the death of the captain of the guard tonight is because your two uncles believed that they were upright and not afraid of slanting shadows. What about your father? He followed the trend, but no one could find any clues, so , the death of Guard Captain Lu tonight has become a mystery, and just let it go?" He was willing to sacrifice his confidant for so many years, and he was so heartbroken!
Why did it get to this point
She looked at the person in front of her with a faint look.
To pave the way for his successor, even at the cost of destroying his own right-hand man, His Majesty the Emperor may really be running out of gas!
Lu Chen shuddered, as if his whole body had been set on fire, with heartbreaking pain. Leng Yiyao is right!
The death of Captain Lu is by no means the end. The father will definitely put the "evidence" on the two uncles, leaving them powerless in front of the entire empire and clearing the way for him to ascend the throne! Only in this way will the throne not fall into the hands of others!
"Why are you still standing here?" A misty voice like a wave of smoke flowed past her ears. She turned around and looked at the thunder and lightning rolling on the horizon.
With such a short time, His Majesty the Emperor may have arranged things a bit too hastily. At night, when she supported him, she clearly felt that his body was not as decayed as he showed, but the bellows-like wheezing and coughing sounds could not be false, and His Majesty the Emperor might not live much longer.
Lu Chen suddenly turned around, as if he could no longer control his expression. His stern brows were full of eagerness and haste.
He was running so fast, but he just felt why his feet were so slow and late!
He only vaguely noticed that his father had set up a thrilling plan tonight, but he did not expect that there was such a secret hidden behind it.
quick! quick! Hurry up!
He couldn't wait to rush to the palace immediately.
He thought that with the imperial doctor by his side, tonight's "excessive fright" would soon subside. But, he was wrong! How wrong he was!
Leng Yiyao glanced at Zhai Mu, who was standing motionless, "You drive him back."
"What about you?" Beside the lighthouse, the strong wind blew on her body, causing the hem of her rose-colored dress to fly. She is like a god, looking at the world's mundane affairs and conspiracies indifferently, but everything is indifferent to her.
"I'm waiting for a friend." She chuckled, with a hint of enchantment in the corners of her eyes.
Zhai Mu shuddered and subconsciously wanted to stay. It was definitely not safe to leave her alone in such a remote location. Besides, she was too conspicuous tonight and many people had noticed her. What would he do if something happened
"I said, I won't say anything a second time." She turned around and her voice was calm, like listening to the waves in a sea of bamboo, making people unable to comment.
Zhai Mu lowered his eyes for a long time, then turned around and got in the car, driving in the direction where Lu Chen disappeared just now.
For a moment, this peaceful lighthouse seemed to be abandoned in a corner, eerily quiet.
She smiled and cast her wide eyes on the dense forest in the distance, as if she was admiring the night or immersed in her own thoughts.
"It's such a cold day, you're wearing too little." Behind him, a silver-white robe was suddenly superimposed on Hemo's black coat.
Different from the texture of the dress, this robe is extremely warm to the touch. Just hanging it on the back makes my whole body feel warm. She glanced at it and realized that it was a silver fox specially hunted from the north that had such a shining luster.
This robe alone is already priceless.
After all, the Northern Silver Fox has long been a legendary animal...
"No way, who told you to come too slowly." Turning around, she met those silver eyes leisurely.
Under the moonlight, his silver-white hair seemed to be glowing slightly, dazzling, reflecting his world-famous appearance, making people doubt that it was a god coming.
He was wearing a robe that was exactly the same as hers. The brocade robes he wore at night were shockingly white and extremely luxurious.
M hooked his lips and suddenly smiled softly at her, his expression seemed to be extremely satisfied, "Did you guess that I would come to you?"
So, he specially assigned everyone around him to wait for him here
"I just don't think you'll be so hurried." Since you've eliminated all those stalking "tails", why bother playing a hurried song on the second floor of the banquet hall and then disappearing immediately
She raised her eyes and looked around quietly.
At this moment, there was a white figure behind him, with bright and low-key silver hair. There were so many people that it stretched all the way to the other side of the mountain. They all looked cold and arrogant, but no one looked at them. Instead, they lowered their heads at the same time, as if surrendering to his feet, without making a move.
A strange color suddenly flashed in her eyes, as dangerous and burning as a poppy.
"You are the smartest person I have ever met." M glanced sideways, sighing at Leng Yiyao's determination and indifference.
"The emperor is about to die, and the royal family will be in chaos. You picked a very good time tonight to return to the imperial capital." She couldn't help but feel lazy as she recalled what she had said to him when they first met. Hook your lips.
On that dark street, only the cafe was brightly lit. The male host ignored the men in black chasing her behind him with a nonchalant expression, and ground a cup of coffee for her with his own hands.
At that time, she was chatting with him about a legend - there was a group of mysterious people living in the far north. They are neighbors with ice and snow, and are friends with mountains and rivers. They have always lived only in the ice. Even if others stray into the ice, they will never be able to find them. Because they have eyes like snow and hair like glaciers. They can disguise themselves as any snowy scene if they wish. Unfortunately, the rarer it is, the more curious it becomes. Many years ago, I heard that a group of adventurers went to the ice to visit, but they encountered an avalanche. Since then, there has been no trace of the group.
Who would have thought that they could actually see the legendary Ice Territory Clan here.
She slowly raised her head and looked at M, who had a faint smile on her face. She couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle. This man was the real "heavyweight guest" at tonight's dance. It's a pity that neither Lu Chen nor the two Grand Dukes will have a chance to meet each other.
"You don't seem surprised at all." From the moment he gave the piano score to Leng Yiyao, he had automatically turned her into his side. Therefore, he did not deny what Leng Yiyao said. On the contrary, he was looking forward to seeing if she had already seen through everything.
"I just didn't expect that you could tolerate being 'followed' for so long." On the first day she came to the Imperial Capital, she directly killed the assassin with the scorpion tattoo, but he didn't wait until before leaving the Imperial Capital. They didn't even move at all. Just this character was enough to make her look at him differently.
"I didn't expect..." He glanced at the woman in front of him. The girl he met casually in D City would be such a person. In the suite on the second floor, when he and Hemo met each other's eyes, he clearly felt the other's formidable aura. Don't say another word to Leng Yiyao. The other person's expression is simply personal, and anyone who touches it will die!
The other party's voice was slightly muffled, and the further back it went, the less audible it became. Leng Yiyao didn't ask much, just turned around and looked into the distance. When they first met, she once asked her if she wasn't afraid of the pursuers behind her? What was his response? "As for Lu Chen, he deserves it!"
Now that I think about it, I do have the confidence to ignore the first heir to the throne.
"There is too much muddy water in the affairs of the royal family. His Majesty, the Emperor, is by no means as simple as he appears. Don't get involved in this matter." After a long time, he spoke softly as a warning.
Although the people kneeling behind them had their heads lowered, their faces also showed expressions of surprise.
For the young master who has always been ruthless and ungrateful, they never thought that one day, they would actually speak to a woman like this.
It is clear that he puts the other person on an equal footing and talks kindly.
Leng Yiyao smiled, "I'm not a person who likes to join in the fun." The turmoil in the royal family is not news. Over the years, there have been conflicts of power and internal strife. Even if the world is turned upside down, it has nothing to do with her.
Hearing her answer, a smile flashed in M's eyes. As if in an instant, he suddenly returned to the gentle-looking man he had been when they met by chance at Shengde High School. Although there was no warm sunshine shining on me at the moment, there was a touch of tenderness all around.
"I have been in the imperial capital during this period. If you want to find me, just tell Walker directly. He knows how to contact me." The stars in the sky were getting brighter and brighter, but in the distance, there was already light flashing. Leng Yiyao glanced over there. They should be guests from all walks of life coming out of the palace. Because there were so many people, some people deliberately came out later.
Leng Yiyao waved her hand, "Okay."
In the distance, Rhodes and Liao Sijie soon heard exclamations: "Leng Yiyao! Why are you here?"
Three or four cars of different shapes roared over and stopped slowly. In addition to Rhodes and Liao Sijie, Chen Zhifan, Yun Lai, and Kings Camp were also in the car.
The first two people looked at Leng Yiyao in surprise at this point, standing by the lighthouse and walking alone, but the expressions of the last three people were extremely subtle.
The scene where people were kneeling all over the place was no longer around, but the white fox fur coat she was wearing was too eye-catching.
Who was she talking to here just now
Looking around, it was dark and quiet, and the night seemed to have frozen.
She was the only one who looked back and smiled calmly and enchantingly, as if saying to herself, "I was just chatting with the goblin."
Goblin
Rhodes and Liao Sijie's eyes lit up, as if they wanted to break the casserole immediately and ask the question! where? Where exactly? Why didn't they see it
Only Kings Camp took a deep breath of air. The faint smell of gunpowder made the look on his face even more strange. For a long time, he looked at her with deep meaning: "I'm afraid she is a goblin that can eat people's hearts and souls... "
