He did not want to hear the same words from her again. In this darkness where no one knew when, he and she would not be able to leave each other.

Houlan looked at him blankly. She saw the sorrow and faint fear in his eyes. She didn't know why such a confident person would do something like this.

They looked at each other for a long time. Her eyes slowly drooped down, and just as she was about to step back, He Lan Xue's arm suddenly slipped down. It grabbed her shoulders and pulled her onto its body.

The lover fell on his chest.

Her ear was against his heart.

Putong, putong. It was a very rhythmic sound, as if every beat was in tune with her heartbeat. It was a bit hypnotic.

The smell of orchids emanated from He Lan Xue's body.

His breathing.

The sound of water.

Her hand obediently rested on He Lan Xue's chest. She leaned on his body, and there was a sense of peace that instantly filled her limbs and bones.

"My beloved, I might not be able to escape this calamity." In her daze, she heard what He Lanxue had said.

"If Yan Han is truly good to you, I will thank him. "Go to sleep."

Those were the last words in her mind.

When she woke up, there was still the sound of water dripping. She shivered and was about to get up when a outer robe slipped off her body and fell into the water.

It opened and sank.

The Yi Man turned his head and recognized that it was the clothes that Heran Xue was wearing.

She stood up and opened her mouth to shout. There was a gurgle coming from her throat and her meridians seemed to have been removed. However, no sound came out. A man covered her mouth from behind.

While she was still in shock, she heard the person behind her whisper, "Princess, don't make a sound."

The voice of Yi Jian.

The man paused for a moment, then carefully removed the sword from his hand and looked back at him.

Yi Jian made a gesture of silence, then carefully supported his lover, walking slowly in the other direction along the wall.

Only now did her lover realize that there were actually some faint lights coming from the other direction.

There was a secret door above.

The door was not tightly shut. Many people were confident that there was no one else in this dungeon. However, they did not expect that they would fall into the trap of a man they loved and a sword that they could use to change their direction.

They walked all the way to the door.

"A Xue, you only have a few days left, why are you still so stubborn?" It was a cold and elegant voice.

When her husband's wife heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She turned her head to look at Yi Yuan School's sword technique.

Yi Jian's expression was heavy as he held his breath.

"There's still fifteen days." He Lan Xue smiled and replied, "There are many things you can do in fifteen days. If you can't do as you please for dozens of years, you might as well do it from the bottom of your heart and spend the next fifteen days in peace.

"

"Do you think I'm going to let you have those fifteen days?" Leng Yan said coldly, "If you refuse, your remaining life will be spent in this water prison. On your last day, I was

You will be allowed to attend my Groom Search Conference, and you will personally witness my future husband. You will watch me marry, and see that the glory that was yours will go to someone else. "At that time, you could have been a dead man.

What the hell. I also owe you one. "

"Should I thank you in advance?" "Leng Yan, you don't have to do this. It won't make any difference. "

"Helan Xue!" Leng Yan hatefully called out his name, followed by the sound of splashing water.

Both Yi Ren and Yi Jian broke out in a cold sweat. They rested against the wall for a while, then quietly and stealthily crept to the crack of the door.

He looked inside.

Inside was a dark room in the dungeon, which had once been used to interrogate prisoners.

In the center of the small area, there was a wooden table. On the table, there was a slightly yellow oil lamp, and on both sides of the table, there were cold iron chains, while on the right side, there was a pot of red light …

Inside the fire were several soldering irons.

He Lan Xue and Leng Yan sat at a table facing each other.

He Lan Xue faced the door, while Leng Yan's back was to the door.

Houlan looked at her through the crack in the door.

Because of the fire, He Lan Xue's right cheek was red, while her left face was hidden in the shadows. She was shrouded in a mysterious light and shadow. Half of her was peaches, and the other half was the deep sea. She looked like a painting …

Feel.

Moreover, it was a recently completed oil painting – there were droplets of water still hanging from the tip of Hera's nose.

The tea that had been splashed on the table was cold and elegant.

"I didn't expect that this method of throwing a man's water would exist since time immemorial."

He Lan Xue didn't extend her hand to wipe it, but waited for it to dry naturally. His expression was calm, and he quietly looked at the coldness opposite of her.

"You've changed a lot since eight years ago." A long while later, Haeru said softly.

Leng Yan did not make a sound.

His elegant and luxurious back was straight and proud.

"I remember when I first met you, you were being hunted down. You were wearing a long white dress with a white belt and your hair was tied loosely on the right side because you ran away so fast.

His head was covered in sweat, and all of it was stuck to his forehead. like a fairy who just came out of the water. " He Lan Xue continued.

"Fairy …" The cold voice was a little soft.

"Yes, fairy. Leng Yan, you are a very beautiful woman, so beautiful that no man can take their eyes off you. Including me. " He Lan Xue lightly said, "At that time, I felt …"

It is an honor to be able to save such a beauty. "

"But you refused me." Leng Yan reminded him coldly.

"Because it's different." He Lan Xue smiled. "Everyone likes beautiful things, they can't help but want to get close to her — that is their nature. At that time, not only were you beautiful,

And he had a kind of lovely stubbornness. Good and strong. To be honest, there was a moment when I was tempted for you. "

"..." "When?" Leng Yan asked hesitantly.

"That night when you came to find me, you told me about the loneliness and fear of being a female emperor. You barely ascended the throne, and the people of the dynasty all had their own thoughts.

As if looking down into the abyss. Then you cried. You feel hopeless. " There was a faint smile on He Lan Xue's face. With a gentle expression, she reminiscently said, "When you cry, I'll hug you and tell you."

You, don't be afraid of anything, I will help you. In fact, at that moment, my heart was beating really fast. I just thought, no matter what, I won't let you cry anymore. "

"And then?" Leng Yan asked in a low voice, "Later on, why did they …"

"Will he refuse?" He Lanxue naturally said the word 'hurt' and then very calmly said, "Because I don't love you, Leng Yan. In the past, I gave you an impression that I was just a man."

The least he could do for a beautiful and weak woman was pity. The second day after that night, you stood on the high platform and used me to exterminate the people who were against you in the Ice Country.

You also took them all out in one fell swoop, Ice Nation's spies. Although I made preparations in advance, the Sky Empire's network in the Ice Country also suffered greatly from this. And that was when I realized that I was

What a fool. "

"Are you a fool?" Leng Yan said unwillingly: "If you were a fool, how would you have made preparations in advance? Those who speak up for you in the court are all officials below rank 3. You don't even have a spy

Let them come out. "

"Yeah, from the beginning, you set me up, so I was on guard against you." "From the beginning, there was no sincerity, so how can we talk about love?" After she finished, she turned to the other side.

He leaned back in his chair, looking at Leng Yan and said lightly: "This is good too, you are destined to be a qualified queen, and I will only love a woman that is worthy of my love."

That woman, for better or for worse, must at least be sincere, just as I would have treated her. "

"Do you think I'm a qualified queen?" Leng Yan was silent for a while before she suddenly asked.

"Yes, very qualified. If being an emperor could make one become cold, violent, and able to weigh the pros and cons, then you were completely finished. Eight years ago made my heart beat in my throat

The woman, just unpolished embryo, is just an illusion to confuse me. I gave you the illusion, but you also gave me the illusion, so we're even, aren't we?

"He Lan Xue sat up straight again, and said word by word," From beginning to end, the only woman I loved was Rong Xiu. Everyone else, including you, your Majesty. So, you don't want to be in my room

"I've been thinking too much."

Her cool and elegant back did not move at all. She was truly a qualified monarch: forever burying her emotions in the deepest depths, never to be touched.

The two who were eavesdropping outside were touched.

Yi Jian kept complaining about how foolish his master was. As long as he pretended to like coldness, he could borrow the Starsea Stone to continue living. In any case, she was already the empress, and the prince …

She had clearly given up on him, so why did she still hold Queen Ran's hand?

After he finished complaining, Yi Jian lowered his head and looked at his wife who was squatting on the ground, feeling even more helpless.

Hadn't the princess given up all hope this time?

She had already decided that she would not care about He Lan Xue anymore, but hearing him say so, she still felt like she had lost something.

She lightly withdrew her gaze and was about to turn around.

Yi Jian quickly pulled her back.

"And the lover?" At this moment, another voice came from inside.

Both of them stopped at the same time.

"My beloved …" He Lan Xue pondered for a while, then lightly said, "Yi is different."

"How is it different?" There was a hint of jealousy in her cold tone, "If Murong Xiu is different, it's because she took up all the space in which you grew up. I'll take it that she appeared before me.

But why is there a different woman? "

Houlan Xue was silent for a moment.

There was a long silence.

Maybe just a few minutes.

However, the three people present actually had an extremely long feeling.
