Chapter 645 Rainy Night Rainbow
"Didn't I just come to see you?" Bo Ling laughed, "I've been bored in the Lanzi shop for the past few years, and I never had a chance to come to you."

Yikang's expression also softened slowly in the firelight.

"I'll take you to the mountains tomorrow." Yikang said with a soft smile, "It's getting late today, go and rest."

……

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Yicong woke up from the nightmare.

He dreamed of his father again.

I don't know why, even though he is taller and stronger than his father back then, in his dream, he is still a child.

Even anger, even hatred, even grief, can't compete with father.

Lu Dou at the side quickly handed over the towel, seeing the emperor's panting and bloodless face, he said with some distress, "The emperor has nightmares again?"

"En." Chen Yicong nodded calmly, and quickly adjusted from the previous state, "Open the window, it's too boring."

"Eh."

Lu Dou ordered someone to draw the curtain and open the window. Chen Yicong looked up and saw the cloudy sky outside the palace today.

This whole day, Chen Yicong was a little absent-minded.

Thunderstorms in June are always crisp, but today it was dull all day long, and it was only in the evening that thunder was faintly heard, as if it was about to rain.

He couldn't explain why, but it always felt like something was going to happen.

At night, Chen Yicong put down his pen, and walked up and down the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a rare way.

"Where's the Jinyiwei in Xuanqingguan?" Chen Yicong finally came to his senses, "Why hasn't anyone come over tonight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bluish-blue lightning flashed outside, and then a thunderclap exploded in the sky.

Lu Dou was startled by the emperor first, and then by the lightning and thunder. He swallowed and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry. Maybe it's rainy and the road is difficult, so it's delayed."

Chen Yicong was obviously not persuaded by such reasons.

As time passed, he became more irritable than before.

There was no reason for this irritability, and he might be able to restrain it normally, but since he opened his eyes today, there has been an inexplicable unease that makes people restless.

After another half an hour, the sound of footsteps finally came from outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The sound of footsteps was different from usual. There was an extra creaking sound as the soles of the visitors stepped on the ground. It sounded like the boots were soaked by rain.

Chen Yicong got up to meet him, almost bumping into Cheng Li.

——Cheng Cheng's face was covered with rain and mud marks, and there were a few scratches of blood on the back of his bare hands.

The uneasiness in Chen Yicong's heart reached its peak in an instant.

"Why are you in such a mess?"

"Your Majesty..." Cheng Li's voice struggled slightly, "Xuan Qingguan... something happened."

……

In the pouring rain, Chen Yicong galloped on his horse.

About two or three figures behind him, Jin Yiwei followed closely.

The rain drenched his hair and soaked his clothes, he didn't even bother to put on the bamboo hat, and let the night's wind and rain hit him head-on.

This scene is somewhat familiar.

On a thunderstorm night when he was a boy, he also rushed into the rain like this night without hesitation...just wanting to get to the side of his sweetheart as quickly as possible.

Lightning and thunder alternately appeared above their heads, emitting frightening light and noise, but Chen Yicong only felt that the world was quiet. He couldn't hear the sound of rain, thunder, or horseshoes under and behind him.

At this moment, only Cheng Li's words echoed repeatedly in his mind.

——Berling jumped off a cliff
——Berling jumped off a cliff
——Berling jumped off a cliff
Near the pier, Chen Yicong didn't slow down like the others, and still rushed forward with all his strength. He didn't stop his horse suddenly until the stone road at the pier was within easy reach, and jumped off the horse directly.

The horse neighed in the rain.

Dismounting, changing boats, docking at the shore... At the foot of Xuanqingguan Mountain, there are already people waiting on the shore with umbrellas and torches.

As soon as Chen Yicong landed, they immediately led the emperor up the mountain.

"What's going on?" Chen Yicong said hoarsely, "You're a good person, why did you fall into the mountain stream!"

"Back to...the emperor," Jin Yiwei said with difficulty, "The subordinates are already looking for—"

"I'm asking you guys! Why did you fall down the mountain stream!?" Chen Yicong was furious, "In such a rainy day, you let her go to the edge of a cliff alone!? How did you deserve it!?"

"Your Majesty... originally the princess was with Bai Ling." Jin Yiwei quickly replied, "Because... because this morning, the princess said that sometimes on rainy nights in the mountains and forests, rainbows can be seen under the moonlight ,so--"

"Then why did Berlin fall down!"

"...The subordinates don't know either," the Jin Yiwei said tremblingly, "We have been watching from the dark, and Miss Bai Ling sat there with an umbrella for more than an hour—then, then..."

His words paused, and his voice became quieter, "Then she suddenly threw away her umbrella and rushed to the edge of the cliff in a few steps. We didn't even realize it at the time, but she already—"

Before he finished speaking, Jin Yiwei suddenly felt a cold light around his waist - Chen Yicong pulled out the Xiuchun Knife from his waist, and the icy blade touched his neck in an instant.

In the heavy rain, everyone stopped.

The umbrella in the hand of Jin Yiwei, whose neck was pressed by the knife, fell, and the torrential rain fell on his face, and he blinked in horror.

Chen Yicong's eyes were red in the rain, like a lion that had lost his mind.

"Your Majesty! It's important to find someone now! You can pursue them whenever you want!" Behind him, Cheng Li, who finally caught up with the main force, almost roared, "Let's go to the place where the incident happened first, this person We were at the scene at the time, so we can keep him so we can find someone!"

Chen Yicong sneered, he took two steps back, dropped the knife, and strode up the mountain again along the stone steps.

The mountain is getting higher and higher.

Everyone was running out of breath, but no one dared to stop.

After turning around a few small roads, suddenly there were a few more officers and soldiers holding torches on both sides of the road.After passing through the last pine forest, the vision in front of him suddenly widened.

On the edge of the cliff, Yikang was sitting in the rain and crying loudly, calling Bo Ling's name to the mountain stream.

Chen Yicong, who flew all the way here, seemed to have lost his soul at this moment, unable to walk.

He staggered to the side of Yikang. In the heavy rain, everything seemed to lose its color.

At his feet, there are only bottomless mountains and forests.

Chen Yicong wanted to cry several times, but found that his sore eyes could no longer shed a single tear.

He opened his mouth slightly, his chest heaving violently.

Facing the silent and deep hills under his feet, Chen Yicong moved his lips and teeth slightly, his voice was barely audible in the rain.

He murmured the name of Berlin repeatedly, but everything in the mountains and forests was silent in the night, only the sound of wind, rain, and Yikang's wailing.

"I was wrong—"

Chen Yicong finally let out a long and painful cry.

"I was wrong, Boling—"
