"Ah Xue …" Rong Xiu rolled over and buried her face in his chest. "Did you ever hate me?" she asked in a low voice.

"Don't be silly." With a shallow smile, He Lan Xue replied, "No matter what you've done, I can understand it. Moreover, I was willing, so how could I hate you?"

"Do you believe the rumors that I sent people to kill you?" Murong Xiu asked again.

"Do you want to kill me?" He Lan Xue asked indifferently with a relaxed expression.

Rong Xiu sat up abruptly and looked straight at He Lan Xue. With a dismal voice, she said, "A Xue, you will hate me, won't you?"

When she spoke, her tears had already flowed down. Her eyes that were as beautiful as jade were filled with tears. It was so touching that it made one feel awkward.

The Orchid Sky Valley with dew on it.

"No matter what you want, I'm willing to bet. If you lose the bet and lose my life, that's also my choice, I'm willing to sacrifice it – but, Xiao Rong, will you let me lose, will you?"

He looked at her with a dark expression. His eyes, which were usually gorgeous and plum like, lost all its luster. He looked so real and sad. However, he was just waiting for her answer.

Her lips moved slightly before she pounced on him and hugged him again.

Her head rested on his shoulder.

The tears dampened his clothes.

He Lan Xue lowered her eyes. Her thick eyelashes covered up all the emotions in his eyes.

It was quiet and peaceful.

"He is the one you spoke of, A Xue?" Yan Han asked as he used his fingers to stroke his chin through the sparse and light screen window.

The servant nodded obediently and wrapped the fur coat that Yan Han had draped over her body tighter.

"It's cold?" Yan Han tilted his head and asked.

Her lips quivered as she nodded again.

Yan Han smiled and put his arm around her shoulders. "Your Ah Xue seems to be pretty good to that Rong Xiu."

They were standing in the shadow of a nearby tree. There was no moon or stars in the sky, and the winter wind was biting cold.

A single light shone from the hut, and under the warm yellow light, the two figures reflected on the paper window appeared to be particularly harmonious and beautiful.

Her lover watched in silence, his face calm. Out of instinct for temperature, she shifted in the direction of Yan Han.

The smile on Yan Han's face became thicker. "My lady, who exactly is this A Xue?"

"I... My husband. " After a moment's consideration, her lover replied, "He is also the person I promised not to abandon."

"Is that so?" Yan Han was not surprised, nor did he feel threatened. "But he seems to have abandoned you."

"Ugh …" The woman fell strangely silent and did not answer.

"But don't worry, you will like the Kingdom of Yan, it is a dry and windy country, after the new year, after two months, the entire country will be filled with a type of flower called the Fire Bird, that flower is red, when the wind blows, it will be like a Fire Bird that is about to fly. This is also why the Yan Nation is known. " Yan Han said with a soft, sweet voice, as if no one else was listening. "I will plant a lot of Firebird Flowers in your place, so you can sleep, play, drink wine, take a nap, and laugh in there."

Pausing, Yan Han lowered his head and moved closer to Yi. He continued, "Yesterday, there was an accountant who said that I was in the Great Benefit Northern. I didn't believe him, but I was still travelling northwards to Suiyuan. I've never seen such beautiful eyes as yours. "

"My love, you are mine. Therefore, that A Xue is no longer important. "

Her lover looked up at him in surprise.

Yan Han's face was hidden in the darkness, only a small part of it was illuminated by the light coming from the window.

And this light, better outline his hard outline and deep sunken eye sockets, deep, distant.

This was the first time she had not heard a man's confession. It was direct and passionate, calm and even domineering.

Yan Han was a pretty good man. In his previous life, he must have been the Fifth Elder of the Peerless rank.

But her lover was not flattered, only a little strange, a little strange.

Ye Zichen's heart beat a few times.

Yan Han didn't need her response. He simply smiled and looked away, returning to the main topic at hand. "Why do you think that Soo Soo will hurt A Xue?"

"In many ways." "If you look at a person with your heart, you will know that no matter how sincere or intense a person's expression is, her eyes will always reveal the true thoughts in her heart. If you draw, the eyes are also the hardest part, because they are the closest to the original."

"Are you saying that your calm eyes …"

"Decisiveness and guilt are not what she should be thinking." Her lover replied, "And last time, when she abandoned him, she was so cold. If you truly love someone, how can you be so indifferent? "

Yan Han looked at her attentively with a smile on his face and a dim light in his eyes.

"Then, lover, are your eyes real?" She blinked in surprise, and her eyelashes quivered in his hand, tickling her heart. "I don't want anyone to see your eyes again."

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

The lights in the room dimmed, then went out. Just as Yan Han was about to say something, He Lan Xue slowly walked out of the room.

He walked into the courtyard.

The wind fluttered his sleeves.

The sound of the brush covered his face.

"Come out." He turned around, faced Yan Han, and said in a clear voice.

"Not bad, you actually found us." Yan Han pressed his hands together, signaling his subordinate to split into two lines. He walked behind the house, intending to appear from the shadows.

However, a figure had already walked out. Accompanied by a wave of helpless laughter, Hong Ying's shadow sprinkled onto the crowd. "A Xue, how did you discover me? Logically speaking, my skill isn't inferior to yours."

"Ever since you were young, you've always liked to appear out of nowhere. You've long since gotten used to it." He Lan Xue scoffed slightly. "I heard from little left and little right that you're coming tomorrow. Why did you come to listen at the corner of the wall tonight?"

The person who came was the great general, He Lan Qin.

"Who's Little Left Little Right?" Heran asked.

"Your subordinates are only small soldiers, and they can't enter your general's eyes." He Lan Xue smiled and said, "I'm afraid there aren't many people in this world that can catch your eyes."

"Five." "Third brother, you are one of them."

"What about the other four?" He Lan Xue wasn't polite. She stood with her hands behind her back, and asked lightly.

"Emperor of Heaven, A Xue, actually, you never knew the true strength of His Majesty. He is the only one I admire and admire." The reverence on He Lan Qin's face didn't have the slightest hint of pretence.

He Lan Xue didn't refute him. "Is that also the reason why you're willing to stand guard at the border for years and become his First General?"

"Yes, I admire you, Big Brother." He Lan Qin said confidently.

"The other three?"

"The Flowing Wind of the Flowing Garden, the mechanical formations and no one else can compare. Just a single person is enough to make the small Flowing Garden resist the coveting of the entire world. Sword God Lu Chuan, in truth, no one knows whether or not he actually exists, but his name is still able to intimidate everyone. He has already become a true God, a Human God! " When He Lan Qin mentioned the names of those two, his eyes were filled with true longing and admiration. It was as if in front of them, he, the grand general of the imperial court, the second prince, was just a youth who wasn't familiar with the affairs of the world.

"Mhm." He Lan Xue nodded in agreement. "And the last one?"

He Lan Qin hesitated for a bit and then laughed: "The last one. I can't say I admire him, but I can't say I'm convinced. I just think of him as a formidable opponent."

"To be able to be your opponent, you are already an extraordinary one." He Lan Xue smiled. "I have already guessed who it is."

"Oh?" "You've guessed it?" He Lanqin was slightly surprised.

"Recently, the thing that has left the entire country in a mess is not the reduction in production in Jiangnan, nor the harassment of the pirates, but the threat of the Kingdom of Yan. If Yan Han wasn't so overbearing, why would you have rushed over and surrounded him? " He Lan Xue replied, "I've also received the news that the Emperor of Yan Country, Yan Han, has recently entered the country with his slight clothes on. He might be in the vicinity."

"That's right, although Yan Han is young, his ability is not to be underestimated. I have already pulled a long line on the border guards, his defense can be said to be invulnerable, but he can still come and go as he pleases. Yesterday, they left their post and were then captured. Their tactics are unimaginable. To be honest, they have the same style as Madam Xi back then. " He Lan Qin made a gesture that gave him a headache: "If Yan Han really does have the ability of Madam Xi, then this world will once again be filled with blood."

"A genius like Madam Xi has only been for a few decades, where would two have come from?" He Lan Xue didn't think much of it and replied, "Moreover, no matter how strange and decisive the tactics are, so what? Who the world belonged to was decided by the people of the world. Instead of worrying about nothing, it was better to retreat and take care of the people. I've heard that Jiangnan has reduced production, and people have been starved to death everywhere. However, He Lan Chun did not actively provide disaster relief, but instead set up a storage room and stored food in preparation for war — this is really too much. "

He Lan Qin declined to comment. He only stared at He Lan Xue and asked with a smile that wasn't a smile: "You live in seclusion here. How do you know about matters in the imperial court?"

Haeru scoffed again.

"Queen Rong is inside, right?" He Lan Qin didn't insist on the answer. Suppressing or not, this was a question that he already knew the answer to.

"Yes." He Lan Xue calmly said, "No matter what, I want to thank you for sending her here. No matter what He Lan Chun wants to do, he can let me see her again. For this, I am grateful to him."

"You know?" He Lan Qin stared: "You knew it was a trap, but you still jumped in?"

"Who is Pei Linpu?" He Lan Xue smiled bitterly: "With his ability, if he really was going to chase after someone, how would he be taken away by me? This place is thousands of miles away from the capital. Xiao Rong is just a weak girl, how could she possibly escape and appear in front of me? "

"Ah Xue …"

"I know what you want, and I know it's a trap. But in this trap, little Rong is also innocent. No matter what the reason is, she has returned to my side now. He Lan Xue stopped his words and continued, "I am willing to believe her."

"You believe her?" He Lan Qin shook his head and sneered.

"Yes." Without the slightest hesitation, or perhaps, he did not intend to give her the opportunity to hesitate.

"Do you know about the matter of whether or not I'll leave you a leave of absence?" He Lan Qin didn't point it out, but somehow changed to another topic: "Governing the world, requires balance. The imperial court has two armies, the imperial court has the Pei family, and the martial arts are me and Xiahou. Back then, during the battle for the throne, the Rong family protected you while the Pei family protected His Majesty. Do you know why when His Majesty came to power, not only did he not belittle the Rong family, but he even married her and left her as the Grand Preceptor? This is because only the Rong family of the Heavenly Dynasty can contend against the Pei family. He needs this balance, and also needs the Pei family to be unable to endure the onslaught of fire and water. "
