Chapter 84

Xi Lan's first feeling was that Li Huai was talking about herself.

But thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have guessed who Li Huai was referring to.

She replied: "That depends, what is she deceiving the prince for!"

Li Huai's eyes did not move, looking forward to this Xingyue, he could recall the rare happiness in his childhood.

"for example?"

"If she has no choice but to lie for the sake of the prince and is afraid that the prince will be hurt, then the prince should turn a blind eye to it!"

And if she has no way to face you with the truth, she can only stay by your side by deceiving... If one day you find out, please don't expose it, let her stay by your side for a while, she For this reason, he not only lied, but also gave up his true self.

Xi Lan knew clearly that Li Huai was not talking about her, but she couldn't help but take her seat. She really cared too much about his words and deeds. When talking to him, she was afraid that the next sentence would expose all her lies.

At this time, Li Huai said in a low voice: "This king doesn't like such lies!"

Her face fluctuated, staring at the bright and gentle side face in the moonlight, she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

No one likes to lie, and no one should be born to like to lie, but it was discovered later that lies can solve some problems that cannot be solved by honesty!
Some people do it out of selfishness, while others do it to keep each other from being hurt.

Li Huai suddenly asked, "Jin Hua, you won't lie to me, will you?"

She withdrew her gaze, shifted her eyes to the lake in the distance, and responded softly: "Jin Hua will never deceive the prince..."

That's because Ji Jinhua has no chance to deceive him!
But, Li Huai, the person standing beside you is not Jin Hua, but me, Long Xilan.

……

On rainy days, thunder and lightning illuminate half the sky!

A person at the gate pushed Xi Lan hard, and she rolled down the steps of the palace. She was not wearing a luxurious brocade dress, but a magic robe she wore when she was doing the ghost tricking formation.

"Li Huai!" She got up from the ground with all her strength, and the rain quickly soaked her clothes, and her entire face seemed to be soaked in water.

She ran up desperately, and the gate of the palace was slowly closing. Inside the gate, two women stood beside Li Huai, one on the left and one on the right. One was laughing heartily at her embarrassment, while the other was hugging Li Huai's arms. With a gentle face, he said: "Ji Hai, this is not good for the princess, is it?"

Li Huai looked cold and stern, and replied without warmth: "She is not a princess, she is just a liar who is neither male nor female!"

"No, Li Huai..." She rushed forward resolutely, the door was already closed, she knocked hard and shouted heartbreakingly, but the door never opened again!
"Jin Hua, Jin Hua, wake up, you're having a nightmare!" She heard a familiar voice next to her ear, and opened her eyes, only a little bit of light around her.

"Did I have a nightmare?" She asked hoarsely.

In the darkness, a big warm hand reached out and landed on her face, and she realized that her face was full of tears.

She actually cried so miserably in that dream?

It was also to blame for the dream, it was so realistic that even when people woke up, they were still in the misery of being abandoned in the dream for a moment.

Then, Xi Lan felt the big hand that was wiping her tears, gently wrapped her shoulders and embraced her in his arms.

She smelled the special light fragrance that belonged to Li Huai, took a strong breath, and even wiped off the excess tears on his face on his close-fitting underwear.

"What nightmare do you keep calling this king's name?" Her head rested on Li Huai's chin, and the voice came from above her head.

The voice was very soft and pleasant, pulling her out of the horror of that nightmare a little bit.

She buried it a little further, and pressed her face against the thin shirt, not answering, not knowing how to answer.

Li Huai asked again: "Could it be that I dreamed that the king was dead, so I cried so sadly?"

She shook her head violently: "My lord will not die, I just dreamed about some sad things!"

"Is it better now?" Like last time, Li Huai stroked her long hair gently with his hands. This gentleness is what Xi Lan is most obsessed with, right?
"Ok!"

"Why do you always have nightmares?" Li Huai whispered in puzzlement. When she fell asleep at night, she curled up at the foot of the bed and fell asleep without a sound. If you don't understand.

"Brocade paintings, fight to be wonderful like floating clouds, inherit light and be mighty, what is Chen?"

She was startled: "Did I read this in my dream?"

He replied: "Well, who wrote the poem? This king doesn't even know!"

Of course not, that is the eleventh spell of the Tao, the first paragraph, which is used to exorcise evil spirits!

When she was dreaming, would she chant spells?

She has always fallen asleep very lightly, and she wakes up immediately when there is any movement around her, not to mention crying and making noises and chanting mantras like this.

"I should have read it in some book, but I forgot what it was exactly!"

Li Huai didn't ask any more questions, and held her hand without letting go.

But she didn't feel sleepy anymore, and she lay in his arms nostalgic. Never before had she felt that she was so close to him.

"This king also had a terrible dream..."

After an unknown amount of time, Li Huai's voice came from above his head again.

Xi Lan didn't respond, and Li Huai continued to say in a deep voice: "When I woke up, the hall was full of corpses, bleeding all over the place. What's more frightening is that it was a dream that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't wake up!"

She seemed to have seen that dream, the lightning leaped across every corner of the sky and was split apart, the strong light illuminated the drenched palace yard, and the death breath brought by the corpse spread.

The frightened young man who lost his soul squatted in the corner, shaking his head, forgetting to cry!

"My lord has nightmares again, and I will be by my side..."

She raised her head slightly, and kissed the cold thin lips by feeling.

Li Huai didn't respond to her at first, and when her arms wrapped around his neck, he couldn't help moving his hands up slowly, and brushed away her long hair wrapped around her neck with his hands. She was in his arms, like She was cute and cute like a bird, but he stopped, raised his head up, and his icy lips fell on her forehead.

Xi Lan's breathing slowed down, she was startled in his arms, and gently closed her eyes.

"Jin Hua, this king will continue, otherwise..."

How can people control their desires?
Li Huai was the same, sleeping on the same couch, it was not easy for him to stay awake, and such intimacy was even more untouchable.

"Well, I understand, the prince is still injured."

Xi Lan felt empty for a moment, why did she feel that Li Huai would not touch her even though she was not injured?

The homecoming banquet of the Ji Mansion was held on the tenth day after the wedding. Not only Xu Wang and his wife were invited to the banquet, but also famous nobles from all over the capital. Compared with the day of her wedding, it was even worse. People from all over the world came, and the princes who shouldn't have come, tried their best to avoid suspicion, and only sent gifts.

On the day of her wedding, Xi Lan didn't see many people except that she paid her respects with her head covered. This time, she saw quite a few people.

Fortunately, in the past, Ji Jinhua was raised in a deep boudoir, and they knew each other very well. General Ji personally greeted them from the gate, and the two went to the main hall to offer tea, and then the banquet began.

A table was full of the elders of the Ji family, Li Huai dealt with it calmly, and no one dared to go beyond the rules, but they just went as far as they wanted.

The lunch ended peacefully, and the Ji family also invited the most famous theater troupe in the capital to perform. Xi Lan originally wanted to take Li Huai to the theater, but after watching the lunch, Ji Chengqian asked him to talk about important matters alone, and she knew what was going on. He took the girl and came out of the banquet hall.

"Jin Hua..." Ji Jinjiang chased her out and called her.

"What's the matter, brother?"

The other party saw that there were people all around, so he took her to wander in the courtyard of the noisy building.

Qinglian has always been a girl who can wink, and consciously leaves room for the two of them to talk alone.

They headed towards the autumn pavilion in the Ji Mansion. Next to the autumn pavilion, there is also a lake. This lake is naturally not comparable to the Lianhu Lake in Xu Wang's Mansion. A small arch bridge crosses the edge of the lake. The lakeside is full of willows, which is just like spring. It is full of vitality.

"Recently, gossip about King Xu and Princess Chaoyang has been spreading in Beijing, did you hear that?"

She not only heard it, but also felt it deeply. She couldn't help but think of the bottle of medicine that Du Meiren gave that day, and she still put it in the dressing box!

This Ji Jinjiang, shouldn't he also come to teach her to fight for favor?

"Ok?"

Ji Jinjiang's lips parted, as if he had something to say.

She looked at it strangely and asked, "What do you want to ask, brother?"

The other party poked his head closer, and asked in a deep voice, "King Xu...did you touch you?"

Her face became stiff and cold, and she didn't answer.

"Sure enough!" This guy seemed to have expected this result a long time ago!
Xi Lan asked puzzledly: "Didn't you remind me not to put my heart on Li Huai? Have you changed your mind now?"

"It's totally different!"

She looked disdainful, "Why is it different? Don't give up your heart, but give up your body willingly. Your Ji family's request is really weird."

Hearing the words, the other party also seemed to have some experience, and sighed: "A wounded body can be restored, and a wounded heart, how can it be repaired?"

Xi Lan was stunned. Could it be that he was really doing it for her own good?
Oh, what does this have to do with her?

"This is my business. You should know that I don't owe your Ji family anything. If I don't want to, even if you put a knife on my neck, I won't do it!" half hesitated.

Ji Jinjiang believed that what she said was true, and only said: "Jin Hua, you also know that at least now, we are on the same boat, and I will not interfere with where your heart is in the future, just like you said, you don't I wish, even if I die, I can't do anything to you, so you should take what you want!"

She sneered, "Sure enough, my brother is still impatient, and wants to teach me how to win King Xu's heart?"

The other party didn't respond for a while, but there was no need to hide his calmness on his tough but uncomfortable face.

In front of this woman, he doesn't need to hide anything.

"However, my son doesn't like to fight with those little girls, he just comes, and he wants to leave or not!"

Ji Jinhua grinned, and clapped his hands in praise: "It's so bold, but it's better if you do it!" After finishing speaking, he deliberately reminded: "The sudden return of Princess Chaoyang is not groundless. Nonsense, not long ago, the Mongolian army invaded two small towns in the northern border of the Wen Kingdom, although the land is small, it is enough to make the two countries turn against each other, and now the two countries are still negotiating, but the return of Chaoyang is obviously a sign!"

Xi Lan was startled: "You mean, when Princess Chaoyang comes back, she doesn't intend to leave?"

"Ning Guogong loves this daughter the most. Back then, she was unwilling to marry far away, but at that time there was only one Princess Changle in the court, and Changle was too young to be married. The emperor came to the door in person in order to persuade Ning Guogong. Now, Chaoyang is not happy in Mongolia, and Ning Guogong must be even more unhappy. Using the excuse of King Xu's wedding, he invited three thousand elite soldiers to go from Jinling to Xianyang in a mighty way, and invited the princess back! "

She thought that it was Chaoyang who came back by himself. If so, how could she pretend to be the princess?

"Princess Chaoyang, is the real Princess Chaoyang?"

Ji Jinjiang didn't understand what she meant, "What?"

"I said, is the Princess Chaoyang who came back the real Princess Chaoyang? Could it be that someone with the same face as Princess Chaoyang replaced him?"

The other party laughed for a while, "How can there be two identical faces in this world?"

"Isn't there? Jin Hua and I are the same!"

Ji Jinjiang was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

After a while, he asked: "Do you suspect that Chaoyang is fake?"

"En." She then roughly told the story of the female ghost who killed her in the pear courtyard.

The other party listened, but did not answer.

Xi Lan was puzzled, wasn't that how Ji Jinhua was killed, and why the Ji family was so ordinary?Did the expert behind them not avoid this catastrophe?
In the distance, several pretty figures appeared on the stone bridge.

When she looked around, wasn't she the Princess Chaoyang they were talking about?

Only then did Ji Jinjiang say: "I've met Princess Chaoyang before, but the one who came back now, if it's not the real Chaoyang, then it can only be said that she is so powerful that she has fooled everyone!"

Everyone, including Li Huai, of course!
How could Li Huai and Chaoyang's childhood sweetheart, such a sensitive and meticulous person, fail to discover that Chaoyang was fake?
This made Xi Lan shake her own judgment a bit. Could it be that the one who came back was really Princess Chaoyang?

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!" They found the gap between each other, and Chang Le on the bridge also found them, calling her happily.

Ji Jinjiang said: "You go there, I will send someone to investigate."

The two separated, and she walked slowly towards the arch bridge as soon as the other party left.

Ning Wanzhuo is still so soft, beautiful and gentle, wearing a lavender brocade robe, which is not inferior to the spring scenery in the garden. Seeing her walking over, she smiled gently at her. "Princess looks good today!"

She responded politely, and chatted and asked, "Princess Changle and Princess Chaoyang, why don't you listen to the play in the front yard? Is it because the play that the troupe rehearsed today is not good?"

Ning Wanzhu replied with a smile: "No, it's just that Wanzhu likes the spring scenery better than the skilled singing voice!"

"Actually, it was Chang Le who dragged my elder sister out to fly the kite... ah, it's windy, Yan Zhi, hurry up!" After finishing speaking, Chang Le called her close servant girl to bring the kite, and she wanted to fly the kite into the sky herself go.

"Changle, run slowly, and be careful not to fall!" Ning Wanzhui hurriedly instructed softly.

Chang Le replied while running: "Don't worry, I won't fall!"

She really didn't fall, but ran for more than ten steps on the lawn that was knocked down. The kite line broke, and the kite was blown upside down by the wind, then fell again, and finally landed on a few trees growing by the lake at the bridge head. on the vegetation.

Ning Wanzhuo was the closest, so she got off the bridge in a few steps, put her feet on her feet, and reached out to pick it up.

Xi Lan followed her, seeing her posture, if she was a little careless, she might fall into the lake.

"Princess Chaoyang, be careful!" She kindly reached out her hand, trying to hold Ning Wanzhu's hand, but before she reached out, the other party turned around and saw her, screamed, and fell into the lake.

She did something bad with good intentions, how much Ning Wanzhuo was wary of her, she was so frightened that she fell into the lake, at this moment, without even thinking about it, she immediately jumped down to save others.

But Ning Wanxiu who was in the water was so frightened that she called for help and threw her hands in the water. Xi Lan stretched out her hand to grab her, but she was slapped hard by her flying hand. Wanting to pull the other party to the shore, at this time, another person jumped off the shore, that person quickly swam to them, and wrapped his arms around Ning Wanzhuo's shoulders, this time Ning Wanzhuo did not refuse, after finally being rescued, he was in shock attached to that person.

"My lord..." Watching the two slowly swim towards the shore, the two words that Xi Lan uttered were also submerged by the lake water!
