That's what villains are like

Chapter 149 Sleepless Night

The red candles flickered and the golden lamps were bright.

Even above the bed were hung one after another small lanterns, bright red, with the word "Happy" pasted on them, revealing a strong sense of festiveness.

"Your Majesty, why did you say that?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Jiang Lan's face at the right time, and she raised her eyes to look at Emperor Xia.

After today, it was a foregone conclusion that he was plotting the fate of the Great Xia and the fate of Emperor Xia.

In the past few days, luck has been rolling, like tides and waves, like a turbulent river, which directly submerged his Niwan Palace.

When the Dao of Fate matured to the third stage, he directly touched some mysteries of the River of Destiny.

These few days he seems to be grounded, but in fact he is in the palace, observing and feeling the true meaning of fate, and gaining some mysteries from it, thus spying on some vague trajectories of this world.

The plot he was familiar with had deviated from the development, but with the help of the river of fate, Jiang Lan could also vaguely glimpse some future trends, and took the lead every step of the way.

So for the move of marrying Emperor Xia, he is very important.

Emperor Xia is the doomed son of heaven in this world, and Zhongtian Prefecture has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, which has great significance.

The vast and endless land of Kyushu, with Zhongtian Prefecture as the center, gathers luck, and dragons and tigers leap. Since ancient times, countless mysterious good fortunes have been born, and countless stalwart figures have appeared.

In ancient times, Zhongtian Prefecture was the core area of ​​this world, and the son of heaven ruled the eight wastelands, shocked the world, and had a noble fate, which is by no means comparable to ordinary sons of luck.

The good luck and benefits that Emperor Xia can bring to him are definitely not what he sees right now.

"If that's not the case, why do you seem impatient even to look at me?" Emperor Xia asked dissatisfied.

When Jiang Lan heard this, she seemed to start to look at her seriously.

Ever since Emperor Xia returned to his bedroom, he had taken off the large Chixuan dragon robe outside.

At this time, she was wrapped in pale pink Chinese clothes, and she was covered with a relatively light and comfortable white soft gauze. Fengchai was also casually thrown on the bed, her blue silk was scattered, her jade face was flawless, like a fairy and picturesque, and she was like the emperor's majesty in the past. Some are very different.

You can even clearly see the clear and delicate collarbone, and the slender and swan-like neck.

"Am I?" he asked slightly surprised.

Seeing Jiang Lan looking at him, Emperor Xia also raised his eyes, looked straight at him, and said, "Just now in the hall, when you were saluting and drinking Hebei wine, although you looked at me, your eyes were not on my face. Come on, what were you thinking at that time?"

Hearing the words, Jiang Lan was not in a hurry to answer, and after a brief sense of the Daoguo of Fate, she shook her head slightly and said, "I wasn't thinking about anything, but I was suddenly in a daze and thought of something."

"What's the matter?" Emperor Xia asked, feeling even more inexplicably irritable.

Jiang Lan didn't answer, acting like why he wanted to tell you.

Emperor Xia took a few steps forward and looked down at him, there seemed to be a dangerous aura surging in his eyes.

Then Jiang Lan said unhurriedly, "Someone once promised me that he would become my wife in the future, but he never thought that that day might never come, but now he and His Majesty paid homage and got married in a daze. , it’s really good fortune to trick people..."

Speaking of the latter, he seemed to sigh slightly, with a sense of impermanence in the world, but a sense of helplessness.

Emperor Xia was startled, and then realized that the person Jiang Lan was talking about must be Jiang Ruxian.

At this moment, she felt even more indescribably irritated. It was clearly a wedding ceremony for the two of them, but in the end, he was thinking about other women?
Jiang Lan seemed to feel inappropriate when he said this, so he added an explanation and said, "That's why I feel emotional."

Emperor Xia felt unspeakable taste and displeasure in his heart, and snorted coldly, "Although your wedding is not what you wanted, it is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. You must abide by the etiquette of a sage in front of others, and you must not make any changes." Things that damage my majesty."

"In the future, places like Yuxianfang will not be allowed to go."

"Your Majesty, is it a little too lenient?"

Jiang Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not agree to her request, and said, "It is indeed as His Majesty said, the matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed."

"But you should be clear that there is only a layer of relationship between you and me. If the Xiangguo Mansion and the royal family are torn apart in the future, maybe you and I will become enemies."

"Before you promised me that you would help me, but now you backtrack." Hearing this, Emperor Xia's brows immediately stood up, feeling that Jiang Lan had not kept his promise.

"The emperor's heart is unpredictable. I think we should give more consideration to the things we promised before, otherwise we will not be betrayed by His Majesty one day."

"Three days after the Zhenlong Seal was lost, I only learned the news. It seems that His Majesty still has concerns and doubts about me. In this case, His Majesty had better not trust me easily." Jiang Lan was at ease, her expression unchanged.

Emperor Xia's jade hand slapped on the bed with a slap, if it wasn't for its special firmness, it might have been smashed into powder by her palm.

"Jiang Lan..." she said coldly.

With a calm expression on her face, Jiang Lan picked up the jug and poured herself a glass.

"The more the movement is louder, your majesty can ask the maid to come and change a soft couch tomorrow morning." He said slowly, calmly, and didn't care.

"You're trying to annoy me on purpose..." Emperor Xia took a step forward, snatched the wine glass from his hand, then raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm not allowed to drink this wine, and I'm not allowed to go to Yuxianfang. Your Majesty still wants me to help you in the future? It's getting late, Your Majesty might as well wash up and sleep early, maybe there is everything in the dream. "

Xia Huang was so angry that his chest heaved, it was the first time he knew that he was so sharp-tongued, but the calm expression on his face was even more irritating.

"The loss of the Zhenlong Seal is because I mistrusted others. I am not a saint, how can I make a step forward?"

"I am the Son of Heaven, if I don't pay attention to everything, how can I secure my position today." She suppressed her anger and explained patiently.

As an emperor, there is no one who is not seriously suspicious. She is already considered broad-minded and tolerant.

Jiang Lan nodded approvingly and said, "Speaking of which, His Majesty, as the king of a country, should indeed do so."

Xia Huangju looked at him condescendingly, and snorted coldly, "Shouldn't the king of my country have to be manipulated by others?"

"Indeed." Jiang Lan nodded in agreement.

Emperor Xia was so angry that he clenched his jade hands tightly, then slowly loosened them, and said expressionlessly, "I know that you and Xiangguo are not in the same way. As a son, you can't understand what he does, and you don't want to see the world. The people of Liming have been in dire straits since then."

"That's why you have repeatedly helped me in the dark. It is precisely because of this that I think you can be of great use to avoid future turmoil in the great Xia community..."

Hearing this, Jiang Lan interrupted her directly, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty needs to learn more about the technique of painting cakes."

"I'm not as noble as you said. I'm for the country, the people, and the country. I'm just a selfish person who seeks pleasure..."

Emperor Xia didn't believe this, looked straight at him and said, "Then you must have a reason, it can't be because of me?"

Jiang Lan looked at her face, and said very seriously, "Then Your Majesty is really right, now I can be regarded as a beautiful woman, and I am still the current Lord of the World, Empress Daxia, I don't know how many young heroes Envious and jealous, wishing to replace me."

Emperor Xia finally heard a comfortable word from him, although he also knew that what he said was insincere and not the truth, he snorted coldly, "But in my opinion, you look reluctant, I don't know People, thought I took advantage of it."

"Could it be that His Majesty is very happy?" Jiang Lan asked with a smile.

Emperor Xia stopped talking immediately, although he was not very happy, but he was not as resistant as he thought.

It's just that, in her capacity, she would definitely not say these words.

"Having said so much, it's time to get down to business. Your Majesty must know it well."

"Although you and I have the ceremony of husband and wife, we don't have the love of husband and wife. Tonight just happens to make a constitution by the way."

"For the stability of Daxia Sheji, and for Your Majesty yourself." Jiang Lan suppressed her smile, and her expression became serious.

"Tell me." Emperor Xia still had that look of raising his chin, looking down at him from above.

"Your Majesty's eyes are above the proboscis? Since tonight, you have been treating me like this. Could it be that you want me to raise my head and talk to you?" Jiang Lan asked unhurriedly.

Emperor Xia let out a cold snort, if he hadn't made him angry in the first place, would he have such an attitude?

But she still sat down opposite Jiang Lan according to her words, and saw his eyes falling on her chest, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally. looming.

Emperor Xia immediately stretched out his hand and clenched it tightly, wanting to give Jiang Lan a vicious look, but saw a smile of interest on the corner of his mouth, and immediately let go of his hand, dignifiedly, without showing any shyness.

She is the current Lord of Great Xia, so how could she be like an ordinary woman who would be so ashamed when encountering such a thing?
Since Emperor Xia had an indifferent attitude, Jiang Lan naturally appreciated it openly and aboveboard.

It has to be said that in the past when Emperor Xia was dressed as a man and wrapped his chest with a belt, he couldn't feel her majesty at all. Today, when he admires her up close, he can vaguely see her astonishing scale.

What is the alluring beauty?Just bow your head and not see your toes.

"Does it look good?"

Just as Jiang Lan was appreciating and admiring, a frosty voice sounded that seemed to freeze the air into frost and snow.

Emperor Xia's eyes were so cold, like ice skates, they could poke blood holes in his body.

"It's okay." Jiang Lan admitted frankly.

Emperor Xia couldn't bear his calmness and shamelessness, so he reached out and grabbed the coat, and put it on his body, covering it tightly.

And what is it?

"Talk about the business." She said coldly.

"There are three chapters in the agreement. First, you must not interfere in my life in the name of husband and wife. Second, you must not..." Jiang Lan stretched out three fingers and waved them casually in front of her.

As soon as he heard the first sentence, Emperor Xia's willow eyebrows stood up, and he refused to interrupt him without hesitation.

As Fengjun, if he continues to visit Yuxianfang in the future, won't she lose all face?

Where is this three chapters of the contract?Obviously an unequal treaty.

"Jiang Lan, don't force me to do anything to you on the day of our wedding..." Her eyes were cold, and her jade hands directly squeezed the wine glass with a cracking sound, turning it into dust.

"Zhenlongxi..." Jiang Lan didn't rush.

Hearing this, Emperor Xia forcibly suppressed his anger, but his eyes were still cold, very unkind.

Jiang Lan smiled, as if she had a handle on her.

"Don't go too far." Emperor Xia's tone softened significantly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know what to do..." Jiang Lan continued.

Of course, Jiang Lan also expressed that she will maintain her dignity and rule on the surface, and try her best to help her secure this position and stabilize the country and society.

That's what he said, but whether he would do it like this, only he knew in his heart.

After Emperor Xia calmed down a bit, he realized that Jiang Lan had a lot to add after the three chapters of the covenant, and it was not what she thought, that she would use the name of Feng Jun to do things that would damage her majesty. matter.

It's just that the two of them will get along with each other from now on and agree with rules and regulations, which seems a bit indifferent and unreasonable.

Logically speaking, this is a good thing for her, but she feels very uncomfortable, like a stick in her throat.

Then, during the discussions and conversations, time flowed quietly, and the night gradually reached midnight.

"Regarding the whereabouts of Zhenlongxi, it may be difficult to find out, but before the Blood Immortal Sect exposes it, we must try our best to make up for it. After all, this is a curse, and it will explode one day sooner or later."

"In this way, we will not appear too flustered and passive when responding."

"The best way is to make two-handed preparations, while secretly dispatching trustworthy people to inquire about the whereabouts of the Blood Immortal Sect, especially the whereabouts of the Blood Immortal Sect's descendant Ye Ming. He is likely to have relevant clues."

"Secondly, you gather your confidantes and skilled craftsmen to search for other rocks, go to the hinterland of Yushan, collect the Wannian Emperor's Heart Jade, and imitate the Zhenlong Seal..."

"With the support of the eight realms of cultivation, even the imitation of Zhenlongxi can achieve a similar effect. Not to mention the real ones, but it is more than enough to fool ordinary people. This can ensure that the hearts of the people will not be broken. "

Before the jade table, Jiang Lan talked eloquently and offered advice to Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia looked at him with bright eyes, and did not disturb him. At this moment, Jiang Lan did not have the irritating expression before. On his handsome and flawless face, his expression was calm and calm, as if he could predict everything, and his words were full of planning and great wisdom. .

His appearance makes people feel a kind of peace of mind.

She thought for a while, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she asked in a tone of interest, "How will we go to bed tonight?"

But as soon as she said these words, she felt a chill and something was wrong.

The red candles flickered, and the little red lanterns hung high trembled, becoming flickering.

Emperor Xia subconsciously closed his mouth, his face was uncertain for a while.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Lan seemed surprised, and asked her with his eyes.

Emperor Xia's complexion was very bad, but he didn't say much, and there was obvious anger in the depths of his eyes.

"I'll go out for a while." Jiang Lan seemed to understand something and stood up.

Emperor Xia hesitated to speak.

"Wait for me to come back." Jiang Lan turned her head and gave her a reassuring look.

Xia Huang watched him push open the palace door, facing Ye Feng's back, and was suddenly in a daze.

Outside the Mingde Hall, above the walls, the moonlight was shining like mist.

Jiang Ruxian stood there, the night wind blew, and the blue hair fluttered, brushing against her face continuously, her eyes were a bit blurred and lonely, like a fairy under the moon who did not eat the fireworks of the world.

In fact, she had stood quietly outside the palace for a long time, after all, she still did not push open the door of the bedroom.

She has been here since the guard of honor ceremony ended.

Although there are forbidden formation patterns engraved in the bedroom to conceal breath and movement, but she comes and goes like walking on the ground, how can these formation patterns have any effect on her?

So from the beginning to the end, she listened to the conversation between Jiang Lan and Emperor Xia.

Whether it was Emperor Xia's inquiry at the beginning, or the three chapters of the agreement between the two, and then the conversation and discussion later, she listened to every word.

Until later, when Emperor Xia's words resounded, her heart was twitching and hurting, and she finally couldn't bear it anymore...

If there was no accident in the past, the person who walked into the bridal chamber with Jiang Lan now should be her, not Emperor Xia.

I have already warned her, why would she dare to test like this?

"Jiang Ruxian, what do you mean?"

Outside Mingde Hall, Jiang Lan's figure appeared here.

He looked at the ethereal figure standing on the wall with a calm tone.Because of the Dao Fruit of Fate, he knew from the beginning that Jiang Ruxian was outside the palace.

Therefore, many conversations with Emperor Xia have always been under his control.

Both Emperor Xia and Jiang Ruxian are people with extraordinary luck. The difference is that because of many aspects such as fate and personality, the way he wants to obtain a lot of luck from the two is also completely different.

To obtain the luck in Jiang Ruxian's body, her mood must fluctuate violently.

Don't look at him just chattering with Emperor Xia in the bedroom, but in fact he has already quietly choked off a lot of luck.

Jiang Ruxian looked at the conspicuous dragon and phoenix robe on Jiang Lan's body, but felt that it was very dazzling, and slowly looked away.

She lowered her eyelids and said softly, "I want to see you."

"You don't have to use this way to meet me. Are you planning to threaten Junxi? However, she is now my legitimate wife."

"If you want to attack her, then I can't sit idly by." Jiang Lan said calmly.

"Junxi?"

Jiang Ruxian was slightly taken aback, only then did he realize that it was Emperor Xia's name.

She suddenly smiled and said, "Emperor Xia probably doesn't even know, but you would call her so affectionately."

Jiang Lan said flatly, "This shouldn't have much to do with you."

Jiang Ruxian looked at him and said, "I really want to kill Emperor Xia, but she should be a chess piece that you value very much, so I won't hurt her."

"You are still paranoid as always, but this has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Lan said lightly, "If you continue to attack her, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."

Jiang Ruxian said softly, "Then I'll listen to you, but you can't get too close to her."

"Why should I listen to you? Jiang Ruxian, are you being too lenient? There is no relationship between you and me."

"Xia Junxi and I have worshiped heaven and earth and got married, so you have to take care of my private affairs with her?"

"You know, the person I'm marrying now is not you."

"What qualifications do you have to say this to me?"

Hearing this, Jiang Lan sneered suddenly, as if he heard some kind of big joke, his eyes were full of coldness and mockery.

Jiang Ruxian stared at him blankly, her delicate body trembling slightly, and a burst of bitterness suddenly appeared in her mouth.

That's right, the person who is now married to him is not himself...

What qualifications do I have to say this to him.

After Jiang Lan said this, she also seemed to sense that her emotions were wrong, and quickly took a deep breath to calm herself down gradually.

"Forget it, it's meaningless to say these things now. I don't want to pick up a sword and kill you one day."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards Mingde Hall.

"If I let go of the hatred with the Xiangguo Mansion, will you not be so embarrassing?"

Jiang Ruxian looked at Jiang Lan's back, her moon-like eyes were serious.

However, Jiang Lan didn't seem to hear this, and she seemed to ignore it.

The corner of Jiang Ruxian's mouth curled up with an inexplicable emotion, and he remained silent for a long time, and then his figure slowly dissipated and left.

In the bedroom, the candles had already been extinguished, and even the hanging lanterns and golden lamps were also extinguished.

Emperor Xia had already slept in his clothes on the bed.

Jiang Lan glanced at her, but didn't make a sound, and sat quietly in the side hall all night.

Tonight, for many people in the imperial capital, is destined to be a sleepless night.

The situation between North Korea and China is also undergoing tremendous changes, with some happy and some sad.

Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, Wuxuan Prince's Mansion, Chong'an County Prince's Mansion, the residences of the major immortal sects... In the almost stretching palaces and mansions, the lights are brightly lit, and many people can't sleep all night.

Countless eyes also gathered in the imperial capital, waiting for the next big reshuffle of the situation, and the undercurrent surged.

It is conceivable that after the Fengjun Grand Ceremony, the power of the Xiangguo Mansion will reach an unprecedented peak, and the major royalist factions are also starting to tremble, fearing that they will be liquidated and suppressed in the future.

The aristocratic clans and immortal clan forces in the entire Great Xia also silently paid attention.

In the depths of the National Teacher's Mansion, the National Teacher Ge Qixing sat cross-legged on a simple futon, and the misty stars gathered and intertwined in front of him.

Following his condensed deduction, veins flickered one after another, and finally turned into a vast star map.

At the same time, above the distant sky, there seemed to be a vast and boundless star field flickering.

Among them, several radiant stars burst out with unprecedented light at this moment, covering all the surrounding void and covering everything.

"Seven Star Secret Treasure..."

He looked at this star map, frowning slightly, but he was pinching many imprints in his hand, trying to calculate something.

Soon, the star map in front of him disappeared, and he condensed it into a jade talisman shrouded in starlight, like a talisman, full of immensity.

"After the Fengjun Grand Ceremony, the climate of Great Xia changed again, and dragons and snakes came out of the abyss. The edict left by the former emperor should also play a role."

Ge Qixing looked up at the sky, silently calculating something.

Many forces in Zhongtian Prefecture also seemed to be waiting for something. In the depths of some ancient powerful families, there were ancient figures who were born and watched the sky at night.

"The dragon and snake rise from the land, and the luck of Zhongtian Prefecture changes. According to the records in the classics, it is a harbinger of great changes in the world."

"The situation ahead will be even more chaotic. The rest of the states in the land of Kyushu have been eyeing this land, and I am afraid that they will soon be unable to bear it anymore..."

"This kind of turmoil in the world, the burst of chance and adventure, is the opportunity to reach the realm of immortality."

In the depths of the Xiangguo Mansion, Li Ran, the Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Sect, stood on a high platform filled with gray mist with his hands behind his back, as if he was looking at something.

Jiang Lintian, Li Qingshu and others stood behind him without saying a word.
