This queen is not too curly

The sun finally set.

The last ray of afterglow disappeared in Chen Ling's eyes.

Yan Yuan really couldn't figure out the situation in front of her, she just stared blankly at Chen Lingchen.

How much did he see?

Yan Yuan's eyes were full of suspicion, her whole body was tense and motionless, but the hair on her cheeks was slightly fluttered by the mountain wind, like a bird on a branch, it only needs one breath to escape and fly away.

Chen Ling looked at her with a little clumsiness, and slightly pursed the corners of her mouth: "Why is the queen here?"

Yan Yuan blinked, and answered hesitantly, "I... I'll come and see Luan Yufang."

This wasn't something to be seen in the first place.

Yan Yuan thought in a daze.

I absolutely shouldn't, I shouldn't have left to investigate the case on my own just because Mr. Lin died strangely.It was obviously a good thing to do, but now because of her sneaky behavior, she has fallen into this inexplicable situation.

"The female officer of the Weaving Division is dead..."

"It is recorded in the case files of the Department of Internal Affairs that the female official has an embroidery room outside the palace. Recently, there has been a change in the embroidery workshop..."

Yan Yuan struggled to explain.

While talking, she peeked at Chen Ling's expression.

Chen Lingchen didn't seem to show any sign of anger, but instead looked at her intently, with a gentle expression on his face.

A glimmer of hope gradually rose in Yan Yuan's heart:
Could it be that he had just arrived?
Is it possible he didn't see anything?
Hope is like light, just a little bit can illuminate chaos.

Yan Yuan's thoughts gradually became clear.

"The female official set a fire before she died, and burned ninety percent of the objects prepared for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and lost a huge amount of property."

"It seems that there are many strange things about this matter, but the Department of Internal Affairs has already intended to close the case. The concubine suspects that the Department of Internal Affairs and the Department of Weaving have colluded with each other on this matter, so they want to come to Luan Yufang while leaving the palace to pilgrimage. check it out."

The more Yan Yuan spoke, the more organized she became, and her gaze returned to its former calmness.

She looked up at Chen Ling's deep eyes, and her thoughts circled several times in her heart.

Chen Lingchen probably didn't see it, right?

Yan Yuan thought to herself, otherwise with this bastard's temper, I'm afraid she would have gotten into trouble a long time ago, where would it be her turn to explain the ins and outs clearly?
Thinking of it this way, the stone in my heart became lighter.

Chen Lingchen had been quietly listening to Yan Yuan's explanation. At the end, he tilted his head slightly, and said calmly, "It was originally for the purpose of investigating the case, but the Queen's sincerity is as meticulous as dust, and she knows every detail."

Yan Yuan answered eloquently: "Your Majesty taught me well."

Chen Ling said calmly: "In this way, there will be a heroine."

Yan Yuan answered the words smoothly: "I would like to share for His Majesty..."

The words didn't finish, stuck in the throat.

He just...

Yan Yuan looked up in astonishment, and as expected, she met Chen Ling's deep eyes, and the expression on his face that was waiting for the show.

Yan Yuan: ...

Yan Yuan: ...

He did see it.

And when he saw it, he pretended not to know how to cheat her.

Hope shattered in place, Yan Yuan stood there with a numb face.

The corners of Chen Lingshen's mouth rose slightly, as if appreciating Yan Yuan's helplessness for a while, before saying, "Go on."

Yan Yuan looked up blankly.

Keep going, where are you going?
Chen Lingchen had already walked ahead, heading towards the villa.

At this time, the sun had already set, and there was still a breath of light in the sky, and the darkness loomed to engulf Chen Lingchen's back.

Yan Yuan stood there for a while, but followed.

……

Twilight fell.

The sluggish Yan Yuan numbly followed behind Chen Lingchen.

The fear of being caught has gradually passed, and she has already collapsed and lay flat.

Anyway, it's just being known to be good at martial arts, at worst, it's a crime of deception.

Thinking this way, Yan Yuan peeked at Chen Lingchen from the corner of her eye.

What's more, Chen Lingchen's coming today is not necessarily only bad:
With Chen Lingshen present, she was by his side, so staying out at night was not a problem at all;

Moreover, it is impossible for Chen Lingchen to appear alone. As a monarch, he must be surrounded by hidden guards to protect him, so the mountain of thugs and creditors will not be a problem. It is a trivial matter to enter Luan Yufang safely.

The two-phase trade-off is still worth it.

It's just that some insignificant secrets have been known.

She was originally the daughter of a military general, so knowing martial arts is not something to make a fuss about, what's more, has she ever said that she doesn't know martial arts?

there has never been.

Yan Yuan, who had cleared her mind, quickened her pace and walked to Chen Lingchen's side, and cast a squinting glance at Chen Lingchen.

It's true that he did evil in his previous life and entered the palace in this life.

Yan Yuan politely greeted the ancestors of the emperor in her heart.

The courtyard gate of Luan Yu Fang finally appeared before his eyes.

The courtyard door opened, and the scene inside had been cleaned up as the unlucky young man said. All kinds of useless things fell on the ground in a mess, like the ruins after the locusts passed through.

There were ten or twenty vicious thugs guarding the gate of the courtyard. They patrolled back and forth, and when they caught sight of Yan Yuan, their eyes lit up immediately, and they quickly surrounded Yan Yuan and Chen Lingchen.

The beater stared at Yan Yuan: "Xiu Niang? Come back to find something?"

Yan Yuan took half a step forward indistinctly, and turned slightly sideways to block Chen Lingchen behind her.

Chen Ling closed his eyelashes slightly, quietly staring at Yan Yuan's shoulder.

Yan Yuan said: "I'm not Xiu Niang, I'm also a creditor, and I'm here to collect debts."

The beater said in a cold voice: "Oh? Creditor? What kind of business are you in?"

Yan Yuan calmly said: "The family runs a little jewelry business, and I donated a batch of blue flower sparrow feathers to Luan Yufang a month ago."

The thugs squinted their eyes, stared at Yan Yuan's toes, and gradually moved their eyes upwards. Yan Yuan's skirt, waist, and chest passed by slowly, and finally his playful eyes fell on Yan Yuan's face.

Datou sneered: "Little lady doesn't look like a bird catcher in the mountains."

He looked Yan Yuan from top to bottom, and his smile gradually changed: "The blue sparrow business is not easy these days, I think the young lady might as well consider starting the canary business, you sell, I buy, how about it?" ?”

The thugs roared with laughter.

Chen Ling's eyes darkened slightly, and a raging cold wave surged in his eyes.

Yan Yuan was startled, the tyrant Chen Lingshen suddenly said "Kill without mercy", when the time comes, the embroidery workshop will be turned into a slaughterhouse, so she snatches the sword from the thug next to her, and the blade hits straight Finger hit the head.

She originally wanted to repeat the old tricks, but she never thought that since these thugs were able to guard the gate of the embroidery workshop, they were also good fighters. Her sharp sword failed, and the thugs had already retreated to the door.

Unlucky.

If one blow fails, there will be some troubles next.

Yan Yuan frowned, and said to Chen Ling, "Find a place to hide."

Chen Ling stood there silently, he seemed to be a little distracted, and after a while, he obediently walked aside.

At this time, he is still obedient.

Yan Yuan stared at his back and thought.

The thugs were initially taken aback by Yan Yuan's sudden gesture of pointing her sword at her head, but at this moment they finally came to their senses, and then turned into anger from embarrassment.If they were scared off by a woman in front of this gate today, they wouldn't have to mess around if word got out!
"Brothers, catch alive!"

"This girl is much more energetic than the previous ones!"

"It's not a loss to catch it!"

The thugs rushed forward and rushed towards Yan Yuan like a pack of vicious dogs.

Yan Yuan raised her sword and stood still, only thinking about one question: How to save energy?

It is definitely a good shortcut to capture the thief first, but she has missed the best opportunity just now, and it is impossible for her to cut off their arms like just now. What a waste, her physical strength can't support it at all.

Even if he barely wins now, when she falls to the ground out of energy and blood, will Chen Ling sink back?

Yan Yuan was full of thoughts in her chest, her figure was flowing, she was circling among the thugs, she was still looking around when she got her eyesight:

Where is Chen Lingshen's hidden guard?
What about gray riders?
Do you all watch monkey shows? ? ?
However, there is only the night falling and the mountain breeze, and nothing else.

Yan Yuan suddenly had an ominous premonition.

The thugs had already sensed the decline in her physical strength, and the thugs sneered: "This bitch has no strength! What are you waiting for! If you can't catch her, we brothers won't be able to hold our heads up for the rest of our lives!"

If the thugs just now were just vicious dogs, then the thugs who have lost face and lost face now are already a group of mad dogs.

They swarmed up, using all killer moves.

They were really moved to kill.

Yan Yuan's heart trembled, she turned around and said sharply behind her: "Chen Lingchen! Run outside!"

Night falls.

Chen Lingshen's figure almost melted into the shadows.

His body was as stiff as a statue, and after a moment of silence, he walked towards Yan Yuan without hesitation.

Yan Yuan: "..."

Yan Yuan decided to take back what she said about him for being obedient!

I don't know if it was because his face was too dark and his expression was too ferocious, but the gang of thugs didn't dare to approach him, and they let him walk all the way to Yan Yuan's side.

Yan Yuan was finally shrouded in fear until now.

Chen Lingshen is the Son of Heaven.

If he folds here...

Yan Yuan took a deep breath and secretly made a decision in her heart.

She took a few steps back, quietly gathered her strength, and took advantage of the opportunity of the next thug to rush forward to restrain him, and the blade pressed against his neck and cut it hard!
The sword edge cut off half of the man's neck, and instantly hot blood splashed out and sprayed on Yan Yuan's body.

Before the man could scream, he had already slumped over. He fell to the ground first, and then half of his head was glued. When he landed, his eyes blinked and widened, as if he couldn't believe that he was just like this. lost his life.

More blood soaked the earth.

Yan Yuan's hand fell naturally, the tip of the sword touched the ground, and the dark red blood slowly flowed along the blade.

Her body and face were also stained with a lot of blood, but she didn't seem to care, looking at the crowd with calm eyes.

She said softly, "Who else wants to try?"

The bright red blood stained against the fair face was particularly shocking.

The thugs were shocked by the picture in front of them.

After all, they are just thugs, and they are just a group of street thugs and guards on weekdays. Even if they have been killed, they have only beaten people to death. Where have they seen such bloody killings.

They looked at each other and stepped back step by step.

"you you you……"

"Kill, kill..."

"Killed—killed——!!!"

They ran away in a panic, and the screams of terror penetrated the night.

Yan Yuan watched the thugs flee until they were completely out of sight before letting out a breath of relief.

As soon as she loosened her hand, the hilt of the sword came off her hand, and the blade fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The blow just now had exhausted her strength, let alone a thug, a rabbit could knock her down now.

Yan Yuan took a deep breath and turned to look at Chen Lingchen.

Under the night, Chen Ling was staring at her, his eyes were quieter than the moonlight.

A strange feeling flowed through Yan Yuan's heart.

She knew that her appearance at this moment should not be very good-looking, her eyes would have a fierce light after killing someone, no matter how she tried to cover it up, it would be useless.Even if you don't look at her eyes, there is blood all over her face and body, and there is a corpse lying under her feet. The scene here must be extremely bloody.

Although she didn't know why, she actually didn't want Chen Lingchen to see her bloody appearance.

Now he has seen it.

She was a little lost.

Yan Yuan lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

He looks downcast like a kid who has made a mistake.

Chen Lingshen was originally a few steps away from her, looked at her for a moment through the moonlight, and walked slowly to her side.

Under the moonlight, Yan Yuan lowered her head, looking more and more like a dejected mushroom.

Chen Ling looked down at her condescendingly, his gaze fell on her blood-stained hand, then he bent down and held her hand, and wiped the blood on her hand with his sleeve.

The dark red blood was slowly wiped away, revealing Yan Yuan's originally fair palm.

Moonlight illuminated the old scars on her palms.

It was an old scar that had no color, which abruptly lay across her palm, replacing the original palm lines.

Chen Ling's movements froze, and his breathing became deeper and deeper.

He asked softly, "How did you get hurt?"

Yan Yuan was stunned, and it took a long time to realize that he was asking about the scar on the palm of her hand.

She naturally brought out the set of words that she had memorized long ago: "I was injured by accidentally falling off a cliff before, and at that time..."

Chen Ling interrupted her in a low voice: "What hurt you?"

There is no room for this kind of question, and the answer is obvious.

Yan Yuan could only answer honestly: "Rope."

The hemp rope woven from bark tightened the flesh, and persisted for a long time.

Yan Yuan had already figured out a whole set of arguments in her mind. She and her lover closed the mountain to collect medicine. When they fell off the cliff, a rope was still tied to their body, leaving two wounds, so they had a big fight with her lover. They have since parted ways.

However, Chen Lingchen didn't ask.

He just lowered his eyes and gently wiped the blood from her fingers, as if he cared about the only thing in this world.

Silence spread.

I don't know how long it took.

It was only in the night that Chen Ling's deep and hoarse voice sounded.

He said: "Okay."
