Chapter 269
Xi Lan opened her eyes in surprise, and saw that familiar face in the candlelight. She didn't take back the hand that was caressing his face immediately, but felt his temperature carefully at this moment, feeling distressed and nostalgic .

Li Huai didn't push her hand away, his eyes were looking straight at her face, as if he was trying to understand her sadness, and it seemed that he was numb in this complicated choice, they kept like this After a long time, she asked softly, "Are you looking for me?"

Although she knew that this possibility was very small, she always asked tirelessly, but she couldn't remember clearly, this is the first time!

"Get up!" should be followed by another sentence, such as the ground is cool.But this sentence is enough!
Xi Lan didn't become obedient, she still sat on the ground, showed him the things in the wooden box, and asked, "Do you remember these things?"

Li Huai only glanced low, and replied: "It should have been burned long ago. If you don't burn it, I will let someone else burn it!"

She was afraid that he was really going to be burned, so she said distressedly: "No, I want to stay, once I touch them, I can see the old you."

It's sad to say that when she saw so many pasts between Li Huai and Ning Wan, she felt uncomfortable, but now, the memories that once belonged to another woman have become memories that she cherishes as treasures. Maybe, this Is it cause and effect?

Ning Wanzhui once blamed her for taking away her Ji Hai, but in the end, none of them got it.

When the other party heard her words, there was no change on his face, Zi blinked his eyelashes, "It's just some irrelevant things, if you want to keep it, just keep it!"

After he finished speaking, he got up, and his sleeve touched a picture scroll in the box, and the scroll rolled out. There was a young woman smiling cleverly in the painting. Xi Lan looked down. She had no interest in opening the painting before, but now this painting It automatically appeared in front of her eyes, and she was immediately attracted by the wonderful brushstrokes on the painting!

She had never seen Ning Wanzhui from Girls' Generation, but the girl in the painting was like a newborn peony, with a charming atmosphere and a hint of daughter-like coquettishness.

Xi Lan was young, but she envied the vitality of the woman in the painting.

She smiled bitterly, and murmured: "I never thought about it, I'm just me, but it seems like a lifetime has passed..."

In her life, she was originally a girl, but she couldn't be a girl, she was a teenager, but she didn't dare to be naive, she was originally a lover, but she couldn't be a lover.

When Li Huai heard her words, his sword eyebrows moved slightly, and his eyes waved over. Her face was still so young, but her eyes looked like an old man in his twilight years.

"——" He thought deeply, looking at the night sky outside the house. He has experienced countless vicissitudes in the past 2000 years. To him, these are just a blink of an eye. Naturally, he does not take all this into his eyes. inside.

She looked up at his tall and straight body, as if she understood his majestic image in this long flow of time. Compared with him, she was really worthless!

She lowered her head, took the scroll in her hand, looked at it again and again, then closed her eyes, and saw that Ji Hai was sitting and painting. That concentration was the part she admired the most, and the corners of her mouth could not help but float smile.

When Li Huai turned around, he saw her contented face hugging Hua, her sword eyebrows tightened, after all, he still doesn't understand ordinary people's feelings!Are the things in the memories so beautiful?Why are his memories full of pain and resentment?
The next day was supposed to be the day to enter the palace to greet her. Xi Lan got up early in the morning to dress up, and Changle was going to enter the palace with them. The two were in the carriage and could not come to Li Huai for a long time.

"Sister-in-law Seventh Emperor, why isn't Brother Seven coming?"

In Changle's eyes, Li Huai has always been a punctual person, this is really not like the Seventh Brother in her memory!
"It should be soon!" Xi Lan explained, and gave Yan Ming a look outside, Yan Ming immediately ran back to look for it, and then saw Li Huai coming out in a black brocade robe, and he took off his purple robe, the beautifully crafted robe was in front of him. The clothes on his body exuded an evil spirit.

"Wow—" Chang Le couldn't help sighing, "Brother Seven used to hate black the most."

"People change!" Xi Lan echoed softly.

Li Huai didn't want to ride in the same carriage with them. He rode alone. Xi Lan could occasionally see his black robes blown by the wind through the window. She was always looking for his direction, as if afraid of a In the blink of an eye, it's gone.

"Chang Le feels that Seventh Brother has changed a lot this time..." Chang Le who was sitting next to him sighed sadly, Xi Lan didn't answer her, luckily Chang Le forgot it after a while!She began to tell her about the prince. In her eyes, Mo Gongyi was the most beautiful man in the world. When she danced the sword, he was fluent, when he rode the horse, he was heroic, when he smiled, his eye sockets were charming, and when he was silent, he was more like a girl. As deep as the sea.

In Xi Lan's eyes, Changle is like the nostalgia for the sweetheart of all young girls who are in love. As long as it is that person, everything is fine.

Entering the palace again, the imperial city felt deserted, something was missing, Xi Lan and other maidservants stood outside the gate of the palace, but they were greeted by armored soldiers.

There have never been so many times before entering the palace. It was this battle, as if a rebellious courtier was about to enter the palace to usurp the throne.

Seeing such a scene, Li Huai smiled coldly, "It seems that the father is really thinking about my son."

He never had a trace of fear. He walked in the front and walked through several palaces in the wandering palace. The momentum of this heavy army did not decrease at all, and finally arrived at the emperor's Qiankun hall. What a coincidence, many princes and princesses were there. It was Prince Xu The class teacher returned to Beijing and everyone came to join in the fun. Who would have thought that the emperor was ill at this time, unable to sleep at night, and was haunted by nightmares. In this way, the emperor could not extricate himself from the grief of losing his beloved concubine. After such a toss, his mind became even more confused. Li Huai came back like this.

When everyone saw Li Huailai, their eyes were full of jealousy, as if he was a monster with three heads and six arms.

"My son, pay respects to the emperor!" Li Huai knelt down on one knee and changed back to his filial son. Even Xi Lan who was kneeling next to him was a little surprised.

The emperor leaned on the dragon couch, his eyes were cloudy and somewhat apprehensive, and after a long time he asked: "Is it really Huai'er who has returned?"

"Yes, as soon as I heard about my mother and concubine, I rushed to Jinling non-stop, but I still couldn't see my mother and concubine for the last time. My son and minister were not filial, and made her look forward to not returning for a long time—"

The other people in the palace were also afraid of Li Huai because of the rumors, and when they heard him speak like this, they were not much different from the Seventh Prince in memory, and their complexions improved.

Only Xi Lan knew that it was just him singing!I have to say that his acting skills are so lifelike that even she can't tell the difference!
The emperor straightened up and waved to Li Huai.

"Huai'er, come closer and let the emperor see your face."

Li Huai got up and walked towards the emperor, Xi Lan also stood up and stood aside.

Seeing Li Huai stepping up the jade steps in the hall, and arriving in front of the emperor, from Xi Lan's perspective, the emperor's eyes didn't look like his father hadn't seen his son for a long time, but more like confirming something.

"Huai'er..." The emperor deliberately looked away from his face and looked elsewhere.

"My son is here."

"Journey to the West, you have worked hard!"

"My son is not bitter, but my father should pay more attention to the dragon's body!"

There was nothing wrong with these words, but Xi Lan could feel that both of them couldn't help themselves.

"Huai'er has made great contributions to calming the chaos in the western region. I want to seal it well, but I haven't figured out how to seal it yet. When I think about it, I will invite Huai'er into the palace!"

Li Huai took three steps back, with a moment of coldness in his eyes, he replied: "I know!"

This is said to be sealed, but it prevents him from entering the palace, so you should be afraid of him!

"Besides, you don't have to go to your imperial grandmother's place, she never sees anyone!" The emperor said again, and Li Huan agreed one by one. In such a situation, they all regarded them as a plague, and the two of them were inseparable. Didn't stay here long, just left!
On the way out of the palace, all the maidservants were sent away, only Xi Lan was left by his side, seeing his fast pace, she stretched out her hand to pull him.

"Li Huai, I think there is something wrong with the father, it should be the queen..."

"Those blood orchids fed with human blood in the Queen's Palace finally have their uses today."

Xi Lan was shocked when he heard this, Li Huai didn't need to check it out, he knew that the emperor had been drugged, but the blood orchid was not just as simple as medicine, an ancient book said that blood orchids watered with human blood bloom once every two years, The first flower is pure white, no different from other orchids, the second time it is pink, which is cute, and the third time it will turn scarlet, this flower is a must for those who are good at bewitching Flower, mix this flower into the food of the bewitched person, and the bewitched person will be controlled by her, and even see the picture she wants them to see.In this way, the emperor is completely under the control of the empress!

But looking at Li Huai's appearance, it seems that he doesn't care about it at all. Maybe in his eyes, it doesn't matter!
So what is important to him?Xi Lan couldn't understand, so she asked: "Li Huai, if you sit on the throne, will you be good at governing the world as you once said?"

Li Huai seemed to hear another ridiculous question from her mouth. His cold eyes swept across her knowing cheeks, "Good governance of the world?"

"I hope you can become a generation of Mingjun, just like what you said to me at the western border, let the world be unified, and let all the people be safe and happy!"

"Did I say that?" He blinked, looking away annoyed.

"Well, you said, I will always remember your tone and expression when you said this, I don't believe you really don't remember!"

Li Huai didn't answer him, but with this indifferent attitude, he denied everything from the beginning.

Xi Lan stood in front of him without giving up and said, "You forgot that I still have Bodhi's relic. If you can't do it, I will do it!"

The other party's gaze finally changed, and he looked at her face full of vigor with deep meaning. "Are you threatening the king?"

"It's not a threat, it's a warning!"

"good very good!"

After this day, ordinary accidents suddenly began in the capital. First, Uncle Guo died of exhaustion on the bed when he was recruiting prostitutes in a brothel. Later, those ministers who had insulted Li Huai as the reincarnation of a demon star disappeared one after another. Some were found later. With a grim death, everyone in Beijing began to feel insecure, and no one dared to say anything about King Xu.

Xi Lan stayed in the palace every day, but she could still hear these things from other places. Although the people in Beijing were afraid of Li Huai, on the surface, there was nothing wrong with Li Huai. Those people were afraid of harming themselves, so they sent their own His wife and daughter kept in touch with Concubine Xu, and over time, Concubine Xu gained a lot of fame.

"I heard that another minister of the Ministry of War has disappeared this afternoon!"

It was night, half a moon in the sky, Xi Lan was holding the relic she had brought back from Shande Temple in her hand and asked Yan Ming softly.

"Yes! That minister three days ago denounced the prince in the court hall and said that it was a treasonous act to bring the troops back to Beijing."

"He is a master who is not afraid of death!"

"I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid I will die now..." Yan Ming sighed, and then asked cautiously: "Princess, do you also think that the prince did all of this?"

Li Huai was not at the house almost day and night, who knows if he did it?

She asked softly: "Yan Ming, in your eyes, what kind of person was the prince once?"

"Although the prince is not soft on the enemy, he will never harm Zhongliang, and he loves talented people very much."

Xi Lan nodded, yes, Li Huai once knew people like gold, and cherished talents like life.Today's... She sighed silently, and squeezed the relic tightly in her hand.

The end of the month is approaching, Changle stays at home before the wedding, and invites people to the palace every day to invite her to the princess mansion to talk, all of which are words from the little daughter's house, Xi Lan always listens and pays attention Power went elsewhere.

"Sister-in-law Seventh Emperor, Changle is locked up in the mansion every day, so I really want to go out and meet the prince..."

"We're going to get married soon, just bear with it!" She advised softly.

Chang Le pursed her lips, as if thinking of something, she looked at Long Xilan cautiously, and asked, "Sister-in-law Seventh Emperor, Chang Le has something that I wanted to ask Sister Seventh Emperor for a long time ago!"

"What's the matter?"

"Sister-in-law Seventh Emperor and His Royal Highness have known each other since they were young, and later married my seventh brother. Did she really let His Royal Highness go?"

She turned her gaze, she had no bond with Mo Gongyi, let alone any estrangement between this girl after marriage, she nodded and said, "I have only loved you, Seventh Brother, in my whole life!"

"Really?" This was the first time that distrust appeared in Chang Le's eyes.

"Changle, did you hear something elsewhere?"

Chang Le lowered his head, hesitated for a long time and said: "The last time I heard someone tell me that I saw the Seventh Emperor's Wife and His Royal Highness having a private meeting..."
