Jiaochu

Chapter 363 Drawing a Clear Boundary

A ray of cold wind blew in through the window, the candle shadow swayed slightly, the rising flame flickered darkly and brightly, and the light on people's faces was also uncertain.

Ye Lanchen's cold voice broke the silence, "Continue to investigate, I want conclusive evidence."

The uncle and nephew accepted the order and were about to leave. Yan Fei seemed to have something to say, so he hesitated for a moment. When he was about to speak, Yan Jiang interrupted him and asked him to wait outside.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to do."

Yan Fei was waiting outside the door of the imperial study. The cold starlight above his head fell on his dark hair, which shone slightly like a thin layer of snow. He raised his hand and took out a jade bracelet from his arms. The colors were crystal clear and gorgeous, as if a rainbow had been plucked from the sky and put inside. It was better than the colorful flowers and willows. He wanted to give her the best, but before the things could be taken out, the person left.

"Where did such a beautiful bracelet come from?" Yan Jiang appeared behind him at some point, and Yan Fei immediately took the bracelet back into his arms. Yanjiang clicked his tongue twice, calling him stingy, "If I hadn't acted accordingly just now, would you have planned to express your feelings in front of the emperor and ask for a marriage?"

Yanfei said nothing and walked away. Yanjiang followed up calmly and said, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. You didn't see how bad the emperor's face was just now. You dared to be so reckless and angered the emperor. Let alone granting a marriage, the emperor will not treat you." Blessed are the sins.”

Yanfei still didn't speak.

"Actually, the emperor still values ​​you very much. As long as you work hard, if your official position is promoted, wouldn't it be better to welcome the bride in a glorious way?" Yan Jiang said.

Yan Fei said: "The Emperor plans to let me take over Long Shadow Guard in the future."

Yanjiang was not surprised by this, "The emperor trusts you, this is a good thing."

Yan Fei stopped talking again.

"But if you take over the Long Shadow Guard, you probably won't be able to be the prince-consort." Yanjiang rubbed his chin and thought for a few seconds before continuing, "The most important thing is what the third princess thinks." He gossiped again, "Have you made it clear, or have you not broken the window paper?"

Yanfei didn't answer.

"A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea." Yan Jiang looked at the moon in the sky and said, "I'll tell you what you don't want to hear. There are too many secrets hidden in the heart of the third princess. There are too many secrets. It's easy to be indecisive and look forward and backward." He paused. , said, "How about changing someone else, I think Yu'er will be fine. You two are childhood sweethearts, and you and I were classmates when we were young. If we kiss each other, wouldn't we get the best of both worlds? Princess, forget it. If you regret it in the future, you It's not worth losing your wife and losing your troops." As Yanjiang spoke, the aura exuding from Yanfei became colder and colder, and Yanjiang was not afraid that he would fall out, and finally his aura was so cold that it gave off a gloomy chill.

After calming down, Yan Fei stopped and realized that the person behind him had been far away. He left the palace alone and walked alone on the empty street. When he passed by a wine shop that was not closed yet, he stopped. He stopped and took a look inside. He saw a drunken scholar lying on the table, muttering a girl's name.

He frowned and walked away.

He would never drink like a wretch to get drunk.

The next day, before dawn, Yanfei went to the palace.

Ye Lingxi didn't sleep well at night, so she decided to leave the palace. Some things must be explained clearly in person. She asked He He and Ling Ding to stay and planned to leave the palace alone.

As soon as she went out, she saw a figure standing in front of her. Her footsteps froze in place. When she saw the person in front of her walking over, she took a deep breath and walked over silently.

Before she could speak, Yan Fei said, "Princess and I are going somewhere." His expression was as calm as the deep night sky, as if he had also made a decision. She opened her mouth, feeling uneasy, panicked, nervous, relieved, reluctant, and helpless about the outcome she was about to face... Finally, she nodded. Yanfei left the palace in his carriage and headed straight out of the city.

She stretched out her hand to open the curtain and saw the carriage passing through the city gate. The sunlight falling above her head was blocked for a while and fell on her face again. It was uncomfortably warm, as if a butterfly was about to fly away from her fingertips.

The carriage stopped by a bamboo forest, and a rustling sound came from the bamboo forest.

She opened the curtain and felt a gust of cold wind blowing over her. She couldn't help but wrap her cloak tightly around her body and stretched out a hand in front of her. The joints were long and well-proportioned. Years of martial arts training had left the tiger's mouth with thick calluses. She Hesitating, like a snail hiding in its shell not knowing whether to extend its tentacles or not, when she was hesitant, she was directly hugged by Yan Fei. He went into the forest, Ye Lingxi hesitated again, and then followed him in.

The bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest are whirling down, like bamboo dragonflies flying one after another. The ground is also covered with a layer of bamboo leaves. When you step on it, you will make a slight rustling sound, which is particularly special in the quiet and quiet bamboo forest. clear.

The two of them walked forward slowly. Ye Lingxi remembered the scene of grilling fish here before. One of the people sitting around the fire had left. I wonder when they would get together again?

Yanfei kept listening to the slight rustling behind him and knew that she had been following him.

Unknowingly, I walked to the center of the bamboo forest and looked around. There were overlapping bamboos all around, as if a bamboo wall had been built to isolate me from the world.

When you talk here, you don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping. You can just say what you want to say quickly.

Yan Fei stopped first, and Ye Lingxi slowly walked up to him, reached out to catch a falling bamboo leaf, and said: "Brother Yan is very good, very good, but I am not that good. I will be afraid and shrink. I can look forward and backward, I can weigh the pros and cons, I can make trade-offs, and I can give up." She turned over her palm, and the bamboo leaf fell from her palm and quietly swirled to the ground without making any sound.

The two were silent for a long time, then Yan Fei asked, "Princess, do you want to draw a clear line with me?"

One word was stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it.

Those cold star-like eyes stared into hers, making it impossible for her to hide or escape even if she wanted to.

"My father will find a good marriage for me, and I will not resist the marriage." When she said the last few words, she held the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, her voice trembling a little, and she forced herself to use the most determined words. Looking into those cold star-like eyes, I kept repeating three words in my mind, no.

Her father's vision will not be wrong, and her mother-in-law will also be happy. She will not resist the marriage, no, no...

Looking at those eyes that were obviously red-rimmed but still trying to be brave, Yan Fei felt irritated, so irritated that he became dizzy and lowered his head regardless. She felt that the world was spinning for a moment, her lips were blocked, and her brain went blank.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a second, maybe a century, before the heartbeats of the two people gradually calmed down a little. They looked at each other steadily, but their hearts were still beating wildly.

After her heartbeat gradually calmed down, she suddenly wanted to cry, as if a treasure had been stolen. Her eyes were sparkling with tears. Yan Fei panicked, and he hugged her in his arms at a loss. He apologized clumsily, and she hit him with her fist. He beat his chest twice and said bravely, "I won't resist the marriage."

Yanfei is so angry and funny, and it's really hard to remember to be angry with him at this time.

"It doesn't matter, I will marry you."
