A faint flame lit up after a moment, making its master's face look even more bewitching. Jiu Ranling put down the lighter and picked up the lamp. The light shone on the face of the person who came, and she smiled."Seventh brother could have come to the Phoenix Feather Palace openly, but why did he choose to climb over the wall alone in the middle of the night? Those who didn't know better would think that Seventh Brother was here for something.”
"I couldn't sleep at night, so I came out to hang out.”Jiu Ranxi also smiled." Ling-er is injured. I'm afraid everyone is lining up to come to the Phoenix Feather Palace to see you. When it's Xi's turn, I don't know when it will be.”
"Seventh brother is being pampered. I'm afraid that father and ancestor want to bring seventh brother along with them, so why would seventh brother be worried?”Jiu Ranling teased him." Or, does Seventh Brother like to do such sneaky things?”
"Ling-er, are you still angry with me?”Jiu Ranxi looked at her pale face after being poisoned." It's my fault for scaring you."”
"Since seventh brother wants to see me, and you've seen me, seventh brother, please go back. Otherwise, if word gets out, it'll be a bad thing for both of us.”Jiu Ranling did not answer. She stared at Jiu Ranxi for a long time before putting down the lamp in her hand and walking to the bed.
"I wanted Shuu to marry you because of the plan I made before I met you. I don't want you to know because I'm not going to do this in the future.”Jiu Ranxi suddenly explained.
"Because you feel that I'm not easy to control, and you're afraid that I'll cause trouble when I marry into the Mei Luo family and ruin your plan, so you gave up?”Jiu Ran Ling snorted coldly.
" Ling-er..." A low voice came from behind." I admit that I didn't want to scheme against you.”
Jiu Ran Ling stopped in her tracks and did not say anything.
Jiu Ranxi sat at the table and looked at the dancing flame.""I came here because I was worried about you. If we visit the Phoenix Feather Palace during the day, you and I will put on a polite mask. I asked 'Are you alright?' and you answered 'Everything is fine.' Then, you smiled politely. I told you to rest well and then left. This is the best way, but…I don't want this.”
Jiu Ran Ling was stunned and turned around. Jiu Ranxi's gaze met hers. There was deep worry in her eyes, as well as some pain and helplessness. Although it was not deep, it was flowing.
"Which one is you?" she asked.
The scheming at the first meeting, the hatred during the assassination, the docility after returning to the palace, and the struggle at this moment. Which one was-him?
"It's me either way." he answered.
Jiu Ran Ling suddenly smiled.
"Unfortunately, we are siblings." she said.
He was silent for a while and then smiled.”
His faint smile seemed to have swept away the heavy atmosphere between the two of them. It sounded like a joke, but there was a helplessness that the two of them did not know.
After a long time, Jiu Ranxi asked,"The poisoning…was arranged by you, right?"”
"I'm not surprised that you guessed it." Jiu Ran Ling raised her eyebrows.”
Jiu Ranxi frowned.”
"Brother Qing also asked me this question.”Jiu Ran Ling smiled faintly." At that time, I told him because I knew I wouldn't die.”
"Then, how do you plan to answer me?”
" It's very simple." Jiu Ran Ling leaned against the bed." Everything can be used as a bargaining chip for me, including my life."”
" You..." Jiu Ranxi seemed to be enraged in an instant.
Jiu Ranling saw his displeasure, but she still said,""Many people want to use me. The concubines want to use me to ascend to a high position, the courtiers want to use me to promote their official positions, the ancestor wants to use me to balance the harem, and perhaps even father wants to use me to consolidate the Tianxu Kingdom. Since I was born in the royal family and was inevitably used to death, why not make the best use of myself?”
These words made Jiu Ranxi's anger disappear in an instant. He looked at Jiu Ran Ling and said lightly, but he could only sigh,""This matter is not safe. How can you guarantee that you won't be discovered?”
"I can't guarantee it. The Empress and Concubine Li would find out, but so what? Other than Weishi, they could not find any other evidence.”
"Where are the people in your palace?" He asked.
"You don't have to worry about that."
"But I heard that the Empress brought Weishi back to the Phoenix Rites Palace.”
"Your news is really fast." Jiu Ranling narrowed her eyes and looked at him warily." You're monitoring the Phoenix Feather Palace?”
"Put away the thorns in your eyes." Jiu Ranxi laughed." I'm monitoring the Empress." Aren't you afraid that the Empress will make a countercharge?”
"She wants to. However, things were not that simple.”Jiu Ranling shook her head." Brother Qing not only saved Weishi's life, but he also protected the existence of the Yu family's ancestral home. That was why Weishi was willing to follow Brother Qing and treat his illness. She would not jump out and expose this matter so easily.”
"Since Second Brother's kindness to her is as heavy as a mountain, why would she go to Phoenix Rites Palace?”Jiu Ranxi was a little puzzled, and then she had a flash of inspiration." Could it be that you're using a new trick on the Empress?”
Jiu Ran Ling smiled bitterly this time.""You flatter me. Weishi couldn't accept the fact that she indirectly harmed Lan Yu because she gave her Dark Star Scattering. After I woke up, she scolded me and left angrily. That's why she bumped into the Empress.”
There was disbelief in Jiu Ranxi's eyes."I'm afraid that such an upright person will have a hard time in the palace.”
"I also don't know why Brother Qing brought her to the palace. However, he still had to think of a way to get Weishi back as soon as possible. It was definitely not good for her to stay by the Empress 'side.”
" Then..." Jiu Ranxi wanted to continue asking, but she saw Jiu Ranling squinting her eyes and looking sleepy."Ling-er?"
"Hmm?" Jiu Ran Ling replied and rubbed her eyes." I'm sleepy."”
Jiu Ranxi suddenly realized that she had unknowingly chatted with her for a long time and had forgotten that she was recovering from her poison. He walked to her side and smiled apologetically."I'm sorry, it's my fault. You should rest."
"Yes." Jiuran Ling crawled into bed and lay down. After a while, he realized that the aura did not leave. He opened his eyes and said speechlessly,"How can I sleep if you stay here?”
"Will you be able to sleep peacefully after I leave?”
"Ha, you really know the answer." How could he sleep peacefully in this palace?
"Are you willing to believe me?" Jiu Ranxi suddenly said.
Jiu Ran Ling was slightly startled. She looked at him blankly and asked after a while,"Do you know what it means to gain my trust? For so many years, I could only sleep without any worries when I was beside Brother Qing.”
"Are you willing to believe me?" Jiu Ranxi nodded.”
"I know how cunning you are under your gentle appearance. How can I easily show my feelings and trust you?”Jiu Ranling asked.
Jiu Ranxi didn't care about what she said and asked,""Are you willing to believe me?"
It was exactly the same stubbornness. Jiuranling sighed and closed her eyes.
"Alright, I believe you."
A large hand combed the stray hair on her forehead, and his gentle voice rang in her ears.""I will accompany you. Good night."
Good night. Jiu Ran Ling muttered in her heart and fell into a deep sleep.
She remembered that hand. It was very warm.
