The emperor's favorite useless concubine

Chapter 49
"Axue..." Rong Xiu turned over, buried her face in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever hated me?"

"Don't be stupid." He Lanxue said with a slight smile: "No matter what you have done, I can understand, and I am also willing, how can I hate you?"

"The rumors say that I will send someone to kill you, do you believe it?" Rong Xiu asked again.

"Do you want to kill me?" He Lanxue asked calmly, with a calm expression on his face.

Rong Xiu sat up suddenly, looked directly at He Lanxue, and said sadly: "Axue, you will hate me, right?"

When she was speaking, tears had already flowed down her eyes, and those eyes, which were as beautiful as pearls, were full of tears, so charming that it made people's hearts jerky.

Orchids in the empty valley, dragging with dew.

He Lanxue couldn't help stretching out her hand, wiped away her tears with her fingertips, and said softly, softly, "No matter what you think, I am willing to bet. If I lose the bet and lose my life, then it is my fault." I choose, I am willing - but, Xiao Rong, will you let me lose, will you?"

He looked at her earnestly, his eyes, which were always gorgeous like peaches and plums, suddenly lost all their luster, so real and sad, just, just waiting for her answer.

Rongxiu's lips moved, and then she threw herself on him, hugging him again.

Her head rests on his shoulder.

Tears then wet his clothes.

He Lanxue lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes covered all the emotions in his eyes.

I saw cleanliness, purity and warmth.

"Is he the Axue you mentioned?" Through the sparse and light screen window, Yan Han stroked his chin with his fingers and asked.

Yi Ren nodded honestly, and wrapped Yanhan's fur coat tightly around her body.

"Is it cold?" Yan Han tilted his head and asked.

Yi Ren nodded again, his lips trembling.

Yan Han smiled, and put his arms around her shoulders, "Your Axue seems to be good to that Rongxiu."

They are standing under the shadow of a tree not far away at this moment, there is no star and no moon, and the twelfth lunar month is cold and windy.

A solitary lamp shines through the thatched hut. Under the warm yellow light, the two figures reflected on the window paper look particularly harmonious and beautiful.

Yi Ren watched quietly with a calm expression.Out of instinctive pursuit of temperature, she moved towards the cold direction.

The smile on Yan Han's face grew wider, "Yi Ren, who is this Axue?"

"I...my husband." Yi Ren thought for a while and replied, "He is also the one I promise not to give up."

"Really?" Yan Han wasn't too surprised, and didn't feel threatened: "But he seems to have abandoned you."

"Er..." Yi Ren fell silent unexpectedly, and did not respond.

"But it doesn't matter, you will like the country of Yan, which is a dry and windy country. After the new year, in two months, the whole country will be full of flowers called firebirds, which are red. When the wind blows, it looks like a firebird spreading its wings. Yan Country got its name from this." Yan Han said to himself, his voice was low and charming, with a demeanor of being like no one else - because he was confident that others would listen, "I will plant a lot of firebird flowers where you live. You can sleep in it, play in it, drink in it, nap in it, and laugh in it."

After a pause, Yanhan lowered his head, approached Yiren, and continued: "Yesterday, there was a fortune teller who said that I was in the north of Italy. I didn't believe it, but I went north to Suiyuan. When I saw you in the afternoon, I saw you at first sight. I believe it. I have never seen such beautiful eyes as yours."

"Yi Ren, you are mine. So that Axue is irrelevant."

Yi Ren looked up at him in surprise.

Yan Han's face was hidden in the night, only half of it was illuminated by the light from the window. ,

And this light and shadow better outline his tough outline and sunken eye sockets, which are deep and remote.

This was the first time she heard a man's confession, direct and warm, frank and even domineering.

Yan Han is a very good man, in his previous life, he must be a top-notch king.

But Yi Ren wasn't flattered, just a little strange, a strange feeling.

My heart beat a few times.

Yan Han didn't need her response, he just turned his eyes away with a smile, and got back to the topic: "Why do you think Rong Xiu will hurt A Xue?"

"Many aspects." Yi Ren replied lightly: "If you have ever looked at a person with your heart, you will know that no matter how sincere or fierce a person is, her eyes will always reveal the true thoughts in her heart. It's also the hardest part to work on, because it's the closest to the original, undisguised."

"You mean, in your calm eyes..."

"Determination and guilt, that's not what she should be thinking about." Yi Ren replied: "And last time, when she abandoned him, she was so indifferent. If you really love someone, how can you be so indifferent?"

Yan Han looked at her intently, with a smile on his lips, and a faint glint in his eyes.

"Then Yiren, are your eyes real?" He interjected abruptly, then stretched out his hand to cover her eyes, she blinked in surprise, and the eyelashes trembled and tickled in the palm of his hand Yes, even my heart was itchy, "I don't want others to see your eyes again."

Yi Ren was stunned for a while, until Yan Han moved his hand away.

The lights in the room dimmed and then went out, just as Yan Han was about to say something, He Lanxue had already stepped out of the room.

He went out into the yard.

The wind lifted his sleeves.

Fluttering hair covered his face.

"Come out." He turned around, facing Yanhan's direction, and said loudly.

"That's right, you actually found us." Yan Han pressed his hands, signaling his subordinates to divide into two lines, and go around to the back of the house, while he himself planned to emerge from the shadows.

But there was already a figure who came out first, accompanied by a burst of helpless laughter, the shadow came, "Axue, how did you find me? Logically speaking, my skill is not inferior to yours."

"You have always liked to be elusive since you were a child, and you have been used to it for a long time." He Lanxue smiled slightly: "I heard from Xiao Zuo Xiao You that you will arrive tomorrow, so why come to the corner tonight?"

The person who came was General He Lanqin.

"Who is Xiao Zuo Xiao You?" He Lanqin asked.

"Your subordinates are just pawns, and they can't get into your general's eyes." He Lanxue smiled and said, "I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can catch your eyes, right?"

"Five." He Lanqin replied with a smile: "You are one of them, third brother."

"Where are the other four?" He Lanxue was not polite, she stood with her hands behind her back, and asked calmly.

"Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, Axue, in fact, you have never known His Majesty's true strength. He is the only person I admire and admire." The reverence on He Lanqin's face did not mean to pretend at all.

He Lanxue didn't refute, "That's why you are willing to guard the frontier all the year round and be a general for him?"

"Yes, I'll take my brother." He Lanqin said firmly.

"The other three?"

"Liuyuan's Liu Zhufeng, the organ array method is unmatched, and the power of one person can make the little Liuyuan resist the coveting of the whole world. No one knows whether the sword god Lu Chuan actually exists, but His name can still shock the world, and he has become a veritable god, a god of man!" When He Lanqin mentioned the names of the two, his eyes were full of longing and admiration, as if in front of them, he was majestic and majestic. The general, the second prince, is just a young man who is ignorant of the world and purely looking for heroes.

He Lanxue nodded in agreement, "What about the last one?"

He Lanqin hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "The last one, I can't say I admire or convince him, I just treat him as a rival."

"A person who can be regarded as a strong enemy by you is already extraordinary." He Lanxue smiled slightly: "I have already guessed who it is."

"Oh?" He Lanqin was slightly surprised: "You guessed it?"

"Recently, what has caused the Celestial Dynasty to suffer is not the reduction of production in Jiangnan, nor the harassment from the Wa Kingdom, but the threat from the Yan Kingdom. If it wasn't for Yan Han's aggressiveness, why did you rush here to encircle him without stopping?" He Lan Xueman said: "I've also received news that Yan Han, the emperor of the Yan Kingdom, recently entered the country with a micro-service, and may be nearby."

"That's right. Although Yanhan is young, his ability should not be underestimated. I have already opened up a long line in the border defense. The defense is impeccable. He can still come and go freely. Under his rule, Yan Kingdom has a national strength comparable to Since they came from the Celestial Dynasty, they did not hesitate to give in. Yesterday they left the post and were captured again. The tactics they used were unimaginable. To be honest, they have the style of Mrs. Xi." He Lanqin made a headache: "If Yanhan really has Mrs. Xi's ability , this world is probably going to be a bloodbath again."

"A genius like Mrs. Xi, how can there be two in just a few decades." He Lanxue replied nonchalantly: "And no matter how weird the tactics are, and no matter how decisive the victory is, so what. Whoever belongs to this world belongs to the people of the world." It was decided. Instead of worrying about the sky, it is better to retreat and appease the people. I heard that the production in the south of the Yangtze River has been reduced, and starvation is everywhere, but He Lanchun did not actively relieve the disaster. Instead, he set up warehouses to store food for war—this is too much to put the cart before the horse.”

He Lanqin was noncommittal, just staring at He Lanxue, with a half-smile and asked: "You live in seclusion here, how do you know what's going on in the court?"

He Lanxue snorted again.

"Is Queen Rong in there?" He Lanqin was not attached to the answer, or maybe it was a question with a known answer.

"Yes." He Lanxue said calmly: "Anyway, I am very grateful to you for sending her here. No matter what He Lanchun wants to do, he will let me see Rongxiu again. For this, I am grateful to him."

"You know?" He Lanqin stared and said, "You know it's a trap, but you still jumped into it?"

"Who is Pei Linpu?" He Lanxue smiled wryly: "With his ability, if he really chased a person, how could he be taken away by me? This place is thousands of miles away from the capital. How could Xiaorong, a weak woman, hide Passed through many levels and appeared in front of me?"

"Axue..."

"I know your intentions, and I also know that this is a trap. But in this trap, Xiao Rong is also innocent. No matter what the reason is, she has returned to me now. We each take what we need, what's wrong ?" He Lanxue stopped his words, and continued: "I am willing to believe her."

"Do you believe her?" He Lanqin shook his head and smiled.

"Yes." He Lanxue replied firmly without any hesitation, or rather, he did not intend to give himself a chance to hesitate.

"Do you know about resignation?" He Lanqin didn't point it out, but inexplicably switched to other topics: "Governing the world is all about balance. The heavenly dynasty has two cultures and two military forces. The literature has the Pei family and the Rong family, and the Wu Zetian It's me and Xiahou. In the battle for the throne, the Rong family protected you, and His Majesty the Pei family protected you. Do you know why after your majesty came to power, instead of belittling the Rong family, he gave a betrothal gift to marry Rong Xiu and not keep Rong as grand master? Because Only the Rong family can compete with the Pei family in the Celestial Dynasty, he needs this balance, and also needs the Pei Rong family's incompatibility."
