C83 The Feast of the Imperial Palace

Shangguan Lan understood what Lan Xuehan was thinking. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the elegant back of the two men in front of him. There was a trace of contemplation in his eyes when he saw the eternal harmony between the two men.

Everyone in the world said that Young Master Wushuang was like a piece of jade that had been crafted by the world. The warmth contained peerless elegance, but he knew that what was hidden under the warmth was the coldness that seeped into his bones. No matter who it was, this kind of person would always have an indifferent attitude towards others. It seemed to be gentle, but in fact, it was extremely difficult to get close to him.

However, looking at the situation just now... Dongfang Jin treated Little Han differently. He did not forget that when Dongfang Jin saw Lan Xuehan being tied up, when his eyes swept across him, there was a slight chill on his back.

Now it seemed that Dongfang Jin should have fallen in love with Lan Xuehan. It was just that perhaps he himself did not notice it.

Thinking of what Old Man Tianshan said to him when he went down the mountain, his heart sank. His usual smiling face was silent, the corner of his mouth was tightly pursed, and his peach blossom eyes were full of worry.

After Lan Xuehan and Dongfang Jin got on the carriage, Dongfang Jin's face was calm, and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry. Lan Xuehan, on the other hand, had an embarrassed look in her eyes. She looked at Dongfang Jin from the corner of her eyes.

After a while, she could not stand the oppressive atmosphere in the carriage. Lan Xuehan cleared her throat and said, "Yes... Yes, that, that, this is the first time I have seen that bastard Shangguan Lan fall into someone else's hands. Seeing his face that was so dark that it was about to drip ink, it was really too relieving. Thank you!"

When Dongfang Jin heard this, his brows raised, and his gaze that seemed to be mocking and ridiculing landed on her.

"If Master knew that you were tied up like this and the price is determined, do you think he would be so angry that he would jump on his feet or come to Heavenly Saints City to teach a lesson to a useless disciple like you?"

The embarrassment on Lan Xuehan's face was swept away and a trace of anger rose in her heart. Her eyes turned black and she gritted her teeth.

Knowing that she could not hear anything good from his mouth, she secretly became angry and turned her face away. She did not want to say anything more to him.

But she was still curious why Shangguan Lan would become the Linfeng Country's Right Minister. After all, she knew Shangguan Lan's character.

Lan Xuehan adjusted her breathing and returned to her usual demeanor. With doubt on her face, she asked, "Why did Shangguan Lan become the Linfeng Country's Right Minister? I remember that guy had always been straightforward and reckless. I am still very curious to see him today in the Right Prime Minister's residence. "

Dongfang Jin heard her and glanced at her with a cold gaze. He said with an indifferent expression," Didn't he say so? The reason was that it was convenient to pave the way for people to enter and exit the place of famous fireworks. I didn't know that you actually have such a hobby!"

It was not difficult to discern the sarcasm in Dongfang Jin's words. Lan Xuehan's expression was embarrassed. She thought Dongfang Jin did not hear it just now, but he still heard it. Although it was the truth, once he said it, it was as if her actions were not right.

Lan Xuehan forgot that this was in Gu Da. Women had always been labeled as gentle, virtuous, and virtuous. If she wanted to go to that kind of place, in other people's eyes, it was naturally indecent behavior and immoral behavior.

A trace of guilt flashed across her beautiful eyes that were as bright as the stars. Her gaze shifted and did not look at Dongfang Jin's expression.

"Don't listen to Shangguan Lan's nonsense. He has always been happy to bully me. Framing me and framing me, he will use any means necessary. He is slandering me. Don't believe him."

Dongfang Jin listened to Lan Xuehan's powerless explanation and raised his eyebrows. He looked at her and said, "Lan Xuehan, do you know that there are four words written on your face right now?"

Lan Xuehan's long-winded little mouth stopped. She tilted her head slightly and asked with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Those four words?"

"You have a guilty conscience," Dongfang Jin said gracefully with his thin red lips.

... ""

Lan Xuehan broke out in a cold sweat. She looked at Dongfang Jin and did not know what to say. It was obvious that she did not believe him!

Knowing that he could not provoke her too much, Dongfang Jin paused for a moment before his voice slowly rang out.

"Two years ago, Qing Ya went to Fa Hua Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings. On the way back, he met an assassin. He did not have enough guards and when Qing Ya's life was in danger, Shangguan Lan saved her.

Qing Ya was Royal Father's most beloved daughter, and Shangguan Lan saved her life. Royal Father naturally thanks him. Thus, he left him in the Imperial Court and allowed him to hold an official position. But it was also his ability. In just two short years, he had stood out from the rest of the aristocratic families. He soared all the way to the top and became the Right Minister."

Lan Xuehan frowned when she heard Dongfang Jin's narration. There was deep confusion and worry in her eyes.

Shangguan Lan seemed to welcome everyone with a smile. He seemed to be very easy to talk to. But she knew very well that deep down in his bones, he was extremely cold. It was impossible for him to see injustice on the road.

At most, he would just watch a good show. Then, with a sigh, he flicked his sleeves and left. If it wasn't for Dongfang Jin's words, she would never believe that he would save her even if she was beaten to death.

But why did he save Princess Qingya? And why was he willing to restrain his temper and limit himself to the sinister Imperial Court? Could it be that the revenge he spoke of was related to the Imperial Court!

His eyes narrowed slightly as a glimmer of light flashed past. Other than that, she could not think of a better reason. It seemed like she would have to ask Shangguan Lan the next time she saw him.

Dongfang Jin saw her frown, and his beautiful face darkened. His face was full of doubt. Immediately after, an inexplicable emotion crossed his heart, and his red lips formed a line. He opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with it?" But Lan Xuehan obviously did not want to talk more with Dongfang Jin.

Seeing him ask this, she slowed down her expression. She smiled and said, What's wrong?" Oh, no... nothing." Then, he looked like he was unwilling to say more.

When Dongfang Jin saw this, the depression in his heart became even heavier. The coldness in his body gradually rose, and his deep and vast eyes calmed down. A sea of clouds was rolling in his eyes.

Feeling the coldness on Dongfang Jin's body, Lan Xuehan looked into his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do I feel that you are angry? Did something happen? "

Dongfang Jin turned his face away and did not look at the innocent questioning in her clear eyes. He calmed his emotions and calmed his mind. There was still a lingering coagulation in his tone.

"Nothing." Actually, even he himself did not know why he was angry just now. It was just that when he saw her guarded face, he could not control his emotions.

Now, once she asked, he really did not know how to answer her. Only, ever since he met her, when he faced her, he could not control his emotions more and more.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, she didn't ask any further. However, on second thought, he seemed to have entered the palace today. She did not know what happened to the Profound Heaven Token.

She opened her mouth and asked, "Today you went to the Imperial Palace and handed the Profound Heaven Token to the Emperor? He should already know that this was the masterpiece of his eldest son, right? Did he do anything?"

Dongfang Jin shook his head." Royal Father gave the Profound Heaven Token to me. He asked me to find the secret hidden within the Profound Heaven Token. Furthermore, even if Royal Father knew that this was the doing of his Eldest Imperial Brother, he wouldn't punish him openly.

After all, everyone knew that the Profound Heaven Token came from the Jianghu. It had nothing to do with the Imperial Family. Firstly, Royal Father would not publicize the matter of the Profound Heaven Token. Secondly... The royal family had always flattered those who were strong enough to live in it, and the law of the jungle was the law of survival of the fittest. If it did not harm the general principles of the country, Royal Father would not stop them from hurting each other.

Because, in his opinion, only vicious and ruthless experts could rule the world and rule over the Nine Heavens. Even if this expert was stepping on the flesh and blood of his brothers, the bones of his family and friends, he wouldn't say anything. "

His tone wasn't as calm and indifferent as it was in the past, but instead contained endless ridicule and sorrow that covered the heavens and covered the earth. Lan Xuehan was also shocked by the reason and had nothing to say, even though she knew... The most ruthless imperial family, but I didn't expect to implement such a rule of survival.

Her eyes were filled with love as she looked at the young man in front of her who had made a name for himself. A peerlessly elegant and peerless man. She never thought that he would actually live in such an environment and die after his mother. Royal Father did not care about the fall of maternal family. Even though he had spent the past few years in Skysnow Mountain... But what about after he was ten years old?

In this dark and ruthless place where danger lurks, he was constantly on guard. Every step he took was like treading on thin ice, trembling with fear. At such a young age, every step he took was difficult.

Understanding Lan Xuehan's expression, a trace of warmth flowed through Dongfang Jin's heart, and his eyes revealed a faint warmth.

"Alright, nothing much. Even if Eldest Imperial Brother wasn't punished this time, there was still a long way to go. Naturally, we have plenty of opportunities. However, Royal Father has already known about your arrival in Tianjing City and the fact that you are staying in my mansion.

The day after tomorrow is the Hundred Flower Festival. There will be a banquet in the palace and all the officials will be attending. Royal Father has ordered me to bring you along, and you will also be attending."

Lan Xuehan had already expected this from the moment she decided to step into the capital and accept his suggestion. This kind of problem would definitely be unavoidable. Since she could not avoid it, she might as well face it head on. After all, she was a genius girl from her previous life. Her job as a general wasn't for nothing.

A wisp of a confident smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, as if the sun was shining brightly and the moon was shining brightly, stunning time.

"Alright, I'll go with you the day after tomorrow."
