Chapter 46

Lu Mingshan and Yue Ling were trapped in the fire, the doors and windows had been blocked by outsiders, they couldn't ask for help, they had nowhere to go.

Liu Ling stood in front of the bright flames with a high-profile posture, admiring the violent knocking on the door and the cries of help from the two people inside.She stood in front of everyone, with black hair and brocade clothes, cold and straight eyes, and an unattainable aura, faintly showing the aura of the leader of the crowd.But real leaders such as Shen Yan stood on the sidelines with folded arms, as if they didn't participate at all.

This is exactly the result of the quarrel between Shen Yan and Liu Ling - no one cares about the other.

The arson farce here was not discovered by the people who woke up in the night.But everyone was wearing thick clothes, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and only took a look at this group of majestic characters before shrinking back.

A night watchman called the yamen servant, "My lord, they are the ones who set the fire!"

The people in the yamen were in a very upset mood, and no one was happy to be called out at night.Seeing that the prisoner did not escape after setting the fire, he simply ignored the law and acted recklessly!The leader was furious, "Catch it! Whoever set it on fire will go to the yamen..."

A sign came under his eyelids, and the man became even angrier. Just as he was about to get angry, he accidentally scanned the big characters "Jin Yiwei" on the sign, his legs softened in fright, and his voice weakened all of a sudden, "It turns out that the adults of Jin Yiwei are here For business, the small ones will offend and disturb you..."

He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should show his loyalty when he finally met the real Jin Yiwei.While hesitating, I heard a slow and indifferent voice, "Aren't you going to catch the arsonist?"

Uh?
The yamen servant looked up, but he didn't see the person who spoke at all, but he noticed the beautiful girl whose face was shining in the front.The leader sensed that something was wrong, laughed dryly, and was about to lead his brothers out of the arena, but his subordinates had a single-minded mind, and stepped forward to draw their knives and shouted, "Who set the fire? Come with us to the yamen..."

"Shut up!" The leading brother slapped the head brother hard, hating iron for being weak, "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't this obvious? It must be the adults who are handling official business, so let's not burden the adults! "

Especially when he heard the voices of men and women calling for help in the room, and the crackling sound of the door panel being slapped, his calves kept trembling, but he became more determined not to get involved.

Jin Yiwei is obviously killing and setting fire!
They bumped into and disturbed without looking too far, and of course they had to pretend they didn't pay attention to anything.The elders often tell them what kind of crazy people are in Jinyiwei, and normal people must stay away!

But his subordinate who was pinned by the neck still didn't give up, and struggled to say, "Boss, it seems that Jin Yiwei didn't set the fire..." Otherwise, what did Jin Yiwei's inquiry mean just now?
The leader's face turned pale with fright, and he wanted to knock the elm bump to death, but he still calmly pretended to be stupid, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..."

"I set the fire." The cold female voice sounded without warning, focusing everyone's attention on the only girl.

She stood in front of the moon like stars, with a calm expression in her eyes, looking at these uninvited guests, "Master Shen is going to send me to jail?"

The latter words were obviously not aimed at them.

When the boy saw someone admitting to setting the fire, he immediately became excited, "Boss, just look at me and say, it wasn't the Lord Jin Yiwei who set the fire! We should arrest her..."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" The leading yamen servant was furious. He met the girl's cold-toned snow-white face. Her eyelashes trembled, but her eyes were lowered, obviously not wanting to meet anyone's gaze.But such a girl... the leader continued to laugh weakly, "This is still a misunderstanding..."

This time, no matter what his subordinates said, the leader resolutely led away the servants, and ignored the weaker and weaker cries for help from the door.After walking a long distance, turning several turns, and arriving at the entrance of a dark alley, and asking people to check carefully that no one was following them, the leader breathed a sigh of relief, sat against the wall, and realized that he was already sweating.

"Is there no one following you?"

"Boss, we are small yamen servants, why does Jin Yiwei follow us?"

"That, that's for sure! Maybe Jin Yiwei is afraid that we will say something, so he sent someone to be our brother..."

Seeing that some brothers didn’t take it seriously, he couldn’t get angry, and felt ashamed, so he lowered his voice and taught, “What do you know?! Jin Yiwei kills people without blinking an eye, and if they fall into their hands, there is no chance of living! I saw it with my own eyes when I was young. After Jin Yiwei killed people on the street, they dared to do so in broad daylight! The emperor acquiesced!" Thinking of his childhood nightmare, his voice and eyes were tinged with fear, and he shivered.

"Boss, you are just scaring yourself. That happened many years ago, and now Jinyiwei has to act according to the regulations, and dare not be as arrogant as before," someone murmured, "And we heard that, then Jin Yiwei did not start the fire, but a little girl. Boss, you are too timid, even if we dare not deal with Jin Yiwei, how could that little girl scare you?"

His head was hit hard, "Is your head pretty? It's not so pretty! Why don't you think about it, the little girl who can get together with a group of Jinyiwei, the group of Jinyiwei obviously respect her Could the little girl be a simple character? Hey, how can a person like you patrol the streets? Go back and change as soon as possible!"

Cursing, talking and laughing, this group of yamen servants have done their ideological work not to go back to see it.Although the boss is timid, he has something to say. When the big guys fight, these little guys don't want to join in the fun for the sake of their lives.

On the high eaves above their heads, a guard in brocade clothes stood aloofly, listening to what the yamen servants had said before without emotion.

A yamen servant turned his head, and vaguely saw a dark figure standing on the eaves behind him.He hurriedly looked at it, and the bright moon broke through the clouds, and a gust of wind fascinated his eyes. When he looked again, there was only the shadow of the hundreds of years old osmanthus tree in the silver moon. Where did the figure come from on the eaves?

Everything was so fast that no trace was left.

The man felt a chill in his heart, and when he heard his companion's call, he ran over without looking back.

Jinyi walked at night, so far away from them.But sometimes, and close, it seems that life has been delivered to the other party.

Fortunately, they didn't reveal anything excessive, those Jin Yiwei probably wouldn't kill them.Not going to kill... right?
But at this time, Lu Mingshan hugged the weak girl who had been smoked in his arms, and had no hope of escaping. He found out in despair that Liu Ling was so ruthless!

If he had known that the consequences of provoking Liu Ling's limit would be so serious, he would never have taken such a method!

"Lu Mingshan, let me ask again, is Liu Runping dead?" The door was blocked and the smoke was burning, but Liu Ling's words could still be heard clearly in his ears.

At first, he tried to change the topic, or discuss other conditions with Liu Ling.But none of this worked.He thought he knew Liu Ling well, and he could find Liu Ling's weakness.But these are also useless.

He bent down, approaching the ground, coughing constantly, "I don't know."

Liu Ling stopped talking, and the fire showed no signs of abating.

After a while, Liu Ling asked again, "How is Liu Runping?"

Lu Mingshan smiled softly, sometimes he thought Liu Ling was really funny.The relationship between her and the Guangping Palace is so good, but she is concerned about the life and death of the child in the Guangping Palace.Love and hate entanglement, what's the point of her doing this?
He really wanted to mock Liu Ling, but he only had the ability to figure out how to escape.

"I really don't know!" Leaning against the door, Lu Mingshan was panting violently, the feeling of lack of oxygen, the scorching temperature around him, and the beam that would fall down at any time... All these made Lu Mingshan feel the threat of death.

He had to say something to save himself.

It is useless to make up lies, Liu Ling is not stupid.It's just that she is a lunatic, and if she spends time with him, he will be burned to death, and what is she afraid of?

The only thing Lu Mingshan can bet on is that Liuling doesn't want to really kill him.She didn't want to kill anyone, she wanted her hands to be clean...

But as time passed, Lu Mingshan began to doubt his own judgment.Maybe he doesn't know Liu Ling at all, maybe Liu Ling is not afraid of killing people...

He started to panic.

Liu Ling kept asking him about Liu Runping's whereabouts, but this time he really didn't lie to her, he really didn't know.

It's a pity that he lied to her too many times, this time, Liu Ling didn't trust him!

While Lu Mingshan was thinking of ways to maintain his own life, he was fighting the fire that burned his sleeve, and his brain was still spinning rapidly, trying to find a way to gain Liu Ling's trust, or give Liu Ling something she wanted to know.

Outside, as the fire was difficult to control, Jin Yiwei was no longer calm.A Jin Yiwei approached Shen Yan and asked in a low voice, "Master Shen, if the fire continues, Mr. Lu will really be burned to death! Do we want to put out the fire?"

If Lu Mingshan died here, no one would be able to tell!

Standing in the deep night, Shen Yan's face was as cold as frost, and there was really no tendency to be seen on his face.

Luo Fan had a sudden wit, "Master Shen, if Mr. Lu dies, his death will fall on the princess. Do you have the heart to see the Lu family deal with the princess?"

Shen Yan originally had a tendency to move. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, stood back, and said leisurely, "Since it's about the princess, what does it have to do with me?"

"..." Luo Fanwan didn't expect such a result, he was stunned for a while, and then wanted to curse.

Master Shen, how could you do this!

Even if you quarrel with the princess, you can't just leave it alone.

He also realized that he was talkative, so he might not mention Liu Ling, and Shen Yan still had plans to let them put out the fire.When Liu Ling was mentioned, Shen Yan let the fire go down...

Master Shen is too angry, right?

Luo Fan took a peek and saw the princess' stiff expression: I'm afraid the princess heard the ruthless words of Mr. Shen, and also realized how serious the consequences of the previous quarrel were...

Amidst his own thoughts, Shen Yan was looking thoughtfully at the flames soaring into the sky, watching the flames getting bigger and bigger: Actually, it's not bad that Lu Mingshan simply died like this.

This trouble, compared to the future troubles of Lu Mingshan's life, is so slight that it is not worth mentioning.

Maybe Liu Ling was just defrauding Lu Mingshan, and didn't really want to kill someone.

Master Shen behind her, who looked calm and breezy, had already murdered Lu Mingshan.

She thought that Shen Yan didn't cooperate with her because she was angry with her, but she didn't think that Mr. Shen was so gentle, but he was actually delaying time and waiting for someone to die.

This is a psychological game, Shen Yan is more ruthless than those two, the final outcome depends on who can hold the breath better.

When Liu Ling was restless, she finally heard Lu Mingshan begging for mercy, "The letter was written by your father the day he returned to Jiangzhou, and there was no movement after that. Based on what I know about your father, your brother should be alive!"

"..." The breath in my heart that had been raised all the time was relieved.

it is as expected……

She knew it must be so!

How could Liu Runping die so inexplicably? If she really died, she would have to wonder if the couple in the Guangping Palace were so cruel that they didn't even let their own son go!
really!

It's just her father's bastard words!Only a father like him in the world would curse his children to death easily.

Liu Ling raised her hand and covered her face, covering her desolate expression.She murmured, "I knew it, I didn't kill you..."

She just knew that she didn't kill anyone again.

Liu Ling backed away, shaking slightly.After she collected herself, she ordered, "Open the door! Put out the fire!"

Although the princess gave the order, everyone still looked at Shen Yan.Seeing Mr. Shen nodded insignificantly, everyone went to put out the fire.I was even more thinking about: What is the meaning of Mr. Shen's slightly regretful eyes after the silence?He doesn't really want to use this to kill Mr. Lu, does he?
Lu Mingshan and Yue Ling were rescued from the sea of ​​flames. At this point, how could there be any face?

It's okay that Yue Ling has long been in a coma, but Lu Mingshan's whole body is in a mess, his clothes are wrinkled, and there are traces of fire?His handsome jade face was smeared with long lines like black charcoal, and a few strands of hair were burned off by the fire.What a gentle and elegant son he is usually, but now he is in such a mess!

Like a dog, let everyone watch!

After a while, he took a breath, stood up staggeringly, and looked straight and accurately at the extremely willful and indifferent Princess Changle.He met her eyes, and the eyes became empty and self-deprecating again, "A Ling, I never thought that you really want to kill me."

Liu Ling's heart paused unconsciously, and sank following his voice.Those tormented, sad, and resentful emotions are ignited at one point.

But she said calmly, "You know now."

She didn't want to wait for Lu Mingshan to say more words to disturb her mood, so she interrupted him stiffly first, "Master Lu, go down and rest first, I still have something to ask you, about my father's letter, about Liu Runping's life and death. "

Lu Mingshan watched her turn around and walk into the night, her clothes flying.He wiped his face and smiled wryly.He felt desolate and desolate. How did their unmarried couple, who were once praised for their beauty and beauty, get to the point where they are calculating and using each other, and tearing each other down?
He missed the former A Ling very much, but he felt a little bit that that A Ling had disappeared.

After Lu Mingshan escaped from birth, he didn't hold Liu Ling that much.He felt that this was karma: he wanted Liu Ling to die, and Liu Ling wanted him to die.

Compared to Liu Ling, Shen Yan is obviously more difficult to deal with.

Since he escaped from the flames, Shen Yan only came to look at him once, and the staring eyes that stared at him made Lu Mingshan very uncomfortable.

His people are still in Shen Yan's hands.

Even himself, injured by the fire, is now subject to Shen Yan.

He and A Ling have affection to talk about, but what does he have with Shen Yan?
In the past, they were barely considered political enemies, but now they even include love rivals.

Lu Mingshan felt very uneasy, fearing that if he stayed with Jin Yiwei any longer, his life would be lost.He must leave here and return to Yejing!Can no longer walk with them!

During the few days of recuperation, Liu Ling looked for Lu Mingshan every day, in order to get the information she wanted.

In the early morning, Shen Yan got some news from Lu Mingshan. When he came out, he saw Liu Ling walking with the maids.

Liu Ling was dressed in a Hunan yellow dress, and as she walked around, she lowered her head and thought about her thoughts.She walked towards Shen Yan, but she didn't see Shen Yan.It was the maid who paid her respects first, and then she came back to her senses, nodded hurriedly, and went into the house to see Lu Mingshan.

Shen Yan stood under the window, staring at the closed window for a long time.He stood like a jade tree, with long eyelashes drooping, and the profile of his face was covered by flowers and trees under the window.

He moved his hand and let it go again.

The mind is unpredictable, like adding fuel to the fire, but it doesn't show on the surface.

"Let's go." Shen Yan said softly.

But Liu Ling kept thinking about Liu Runping.

This is Liu Ling's own family affairs, and Lu Mingshan doesn't know much about it. Since he can't threaten Liu Ling anymore, he simply told the truth, "Your father can't confirm your whereabouts. He just received a letter from me and learned that I'm going to find you." , so I sent you the letter to me. I read your letter." Facing Liu Ling's cold eyes, Lu Mingshan smiled nonchalantly, "I always want to find out what tricks your Guangping Palace is playing. I did only receive the letter from your father, and when I corresponded with your father later, he did not mention Liu Runping."

King Guangping is Liu Ling's biological father, but Lu Mingshan knows where Liu Ling has gone, but King Guangping doesn't.This shows how indifferent the normal relationship between father and daughter is.

Lu Mingshan paused, "Liu Runping is your younger brother, and his blood is correct. I am your fiancé in name again," he laughed, "Your father doesn't know about our divorce. If something happens to your brother, then It's reasonable, in the subsequent correspondence, your father will tell me, but he didn't."

"So I think, you can rest assured that your brother is not dead, he should be alive and well."

This is the most information Lu Mingshan can provide Liu Ling.He also thinks that his future father-in-law's family is very interesting, and he also wants to watch the excitement, but helplessly, Lu Mingshan probably doesn't know more than Liu Ling.

Otherwise, with his temperament, he will definitely make a big fuss about it.

Liu Ling nodded, as if agreeing with this statement.

"But if the young master is alive and well, what is the prince writing to scold the princess for? Is he crazy? Just to teach the princess, he joked about the young master's life and death?" The maids discussed in low voices.

Liu Ling supported Lingxi's hand and walked down the steps. Cong Mushuying floated on her clothes, and the girl's appearance was picturesque, "No. He doesn't have a good relationship with me, but he cares about my younger brother very much. Even if he If you want to scold me, you can find other excuses, and you won't curse your son to die."

"What does the princess think?" Lingxi asked, and then said worriedly, "Is the lord trying to get some idea of ​​the princess again?"

"I think, after he came home, some coincidences and misunderstandings made her think that Liu Runping was dead. He was very angry and wrote a letter to reprimand me. But after he finished writing the letter, the misunderstanding was resolved and he found that Liu Runping was fine. He was happy, so he went to visit his youngest son with his wife, daughter and son, and forgot about the already written letter. Maybe he forgot about that letter, maybe he didn't bother to pay attention to it, but anyway, he sent it out and got it into my hands through Lu Mingshan."

"..." The maids looked at each other, hearing the princess's voice was flat, but they seemed to have seen the image of an irresponsible father, and were a little speechless.

Liu Ling looked at the flower branches blooming alone in the corner, and reached out to pick them.She smiled, "He remembers that he is the father of the younger son, and he has to care about the life and death of the younger son. He never remembers that he still has me as the eldest daughter."

She is so emotionally stable.

But sometimes, the more peaceful, the more desolate.

"It's nothing, I never remember him as a father." Liu Ling turned her head and saw the maid's eyes were wet.Others feel sorry for her, but she doesn't care anymore.

She said softly, "Why are you crying? I'm not sad. I didn't even tell him about my divorce from Lu Mingshan. When he finds out, he'll probably be furious again, wishing he could kill me."

Liu Ling smiled sarcastically, exerting force on her hands, and the sharp thorns on the flower branches hurt her long and well-proportioned fingers like green jade.The maids exclaimed, but Liu Ling remained calm as usual, and sprinkled the blood from her hand, "It's nothing. He didn't kill me back then, and he can't kill me now."

And she didn't kill him back then, and she might not be able to kill him in the future.

Maybe their father and daughter would torture each other to death.

Liu Ling thought it was very interesting.

It's just that no matter how bad the relationship between Liu Ling and her father is, Liu Ling wants to know the specific situation of Liu Runping.She never corresponded with her father, nor with anyone else in Quang Binh Palace.In the past, when she wanted to check anything, subordinates like Yang Ye would check it for her.

But now that Yang Ye and the others were sent to Yejing by Liu Ling, how could they have the ability to investigate the situation in Jiangzhou Prefecture thousands of miles away?

Besides, when it comes to sources of intelligence, isn't the most trustworthy one, Jin Yiwei?
Jin Yiwei has hands and eyes all over the sky, and has branches all over the place, and nothing can be hidden from their eyes.Regarding the situation of the Guangping Palace, there must be files in Jiangzhou.As long as Jin Yiwei needs to be transferred, he can see it at any time.

Now, the one who can help Liu Ling with this is Shen Meiren Shen Yan.

"..." Liu Ling was embarrassed for a moment. After arguing with Shen Yan that night, she focused on getting information from Lu Mingshan.Besides, she was indeed a little angry with Shen Yan, this is the problem that two strong people will encounter when they get along with each other - no one will obey the other.

Shen Yan said that everyone should not meet for the time being, and Liu Ling was unhappy at the time, and did not respond with "yes" or "no".But in the next few days of getting along, Liu Ling did not see Shen Yan again.

Every evening, she would go to Shen Meiren to have a heart-to-heart talk. The activities were cancelled, and Shen Yan did not respond.Liu Ling was even more unhappy, so the vicious circle began.

Liu Ling didn't take it seriously before. When two people are on the road together, they should look up and look down. What can I do?

In fact, Shen Meiren said "we don't want to meet anymore", so he has a way to make the two of them go on the road together, but they can't meet each other.

"Where is Master Shen?"

"Master Shen is busy."

"Get out of the way! I want to see Shen Yan!"

"Uh, the princess, Mr. Shen said that there is too much privacy in Jinyiwei. I'm afraid the princess will deliberately spy on it. In order to avoid suspicion of the princess, it's better not to walk here."

"..." Does she have the ability to spy?

... Liu Ling was about to kneel down to Shen Yan!
How could there be such a ruthless person!
If you don't see it, you won't see it!

The maids were worried, "Why don't the maids find a way to try? Mr. Shen will always see us."

"But when Shen Yan took one look at you, you were bewildered by him."

"...Princess! The servant girl was obviously frightened by Mr. Shen, how could she be in a state of confusion?!" Several maids blushed.

Liu Ling pretended not to hear, thinking silently: She still has to figure out a way.

She didn't believe that Shen Yan wanted to break up with her, otherwise he wouldn't have left her with Jin Yiwei.At most he was angry with her...

Well, maybe she wasn't angry at first, but Liu Ling threw herself on Lu Mingshan and completely forgot about Shen Yan. Shen Yan might be upset.

For a character like Mr. Shen, ordinary coaxing may be useless.

Liu Ling was a little annoyed.

The maids were talkative, and when they were visiting Lu Mingshan, they accidentally let it out.

Lu Mingshan was taken aback for a moment, feeling intense jealousy towards Shen Yan.

He said in a rambling voice, "I don't understand why you have worked so hard to pursue Lord Shen... Could it be that you have lived in Yejing for so many years, and you really never knew that Shen Yan has a childhood sweetheart as a fiancée?"

He raised his head and smiled sarcasticly at Liu Ling, with malicious intentions, "I wanted to keep going to the theater, but I can't bear to see you always being deceived by Shen Yan."

"He is the same as me. You don't like me like this, why do you like him like this, A Ling?"
