This queen is not too curly

Chapter 50

"Squeaky-!"

Under the dark moonlit night, the white rabbit struggled and tossed in the water. It didn't take long for it exhausted its strength and began to sink slowly.

Yan Yuan felt her eyeballs hurt again.

This unlucky thing is really worthy of being someone's favorite pet, and the whimsy of dying is so similar, it's really damn familiar.

Seeing that the rabbit was about to sink, Yan Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, lifted her skirt and jumped into the water.

Of course she's not the Virgin, she just can't see food being wasted.

In any case, a shiny and tender rabbit should not end up here.

The hot spring water is not deep, it only reaches Yan Yuan's knees.

She lifted the skirt with one hand, and fished the rabbit out of the hot spring with the other.

She was supposed to go ashore immediately, but for a moment the water washed over her knees, and the warmth seemed to penetrate into the cracks in her bones, and she felt an indescribable comfort.

Yan Yuan narrowed her eyes, holding the rabbit in a daze.

It was because of this moment of hesitation that suddenly there were noisy footsteps on the shore, followed by dozens of black shadows flashing past, and the hot spring was surrounded by unknown things in all directions.

A cold and stern voice sounded from the bank: "Who is in the water?!"

It was obviously too late to escape.

Yan Yuan stood in the pond, holding the rabbit in her arms, watching countless bows and arrows aimed at her.

A burly man on the shore drew his bow to the full string, and said murderously: "Demon girl, put down your weapon and leave you as a dead body."

Yan Yuan wanted to explain, but just turned around, and before she could speak, she felt a gust of wind blowing past her ears.

It was an arrow, and the body of the arrow passed by her ear, and the sharp arrow cut off a strand of her hair.

The owner of the bow and arrow warned coldly: "I advise you not to act rashly."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Yan Yuan's face darkened.

On the shore of the hot spring, the smell of gunpowder is about to explode.

Just when the crowd was in a stalemate, a cyan robe came out from behind the crowd and said to the crowd, "Stop! Get back!"

That man is the real master of the Gray Cavalry.At this moment, he walked up to the people and stared at the leader of the gray cavalry, with a helpless expression on his face: "Ignorant and reckless, hurry up and kneel down to the empress to apologize."

Empress?

Where is the empress from?
At the hot spring, everyone was stunned.

In the middle of the night, the mountainside was pitch black, and there was only one woman within a radius of ten miles. That was the girl holding a rabbit in the hot spring pool, and the female assassin who was almost killed by their arrows.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the man passed the leader of the gray cavalry, clasped his hands together by the hot spring, and bowed deeply to the girl by the hot spring: "My minister Luo Ziqiu, I greet the empress Jin'an."

Yan Yuan: "..."

In the mountain wind, Yan Yuan stood alone holding the rabbit.

All the members of the Gray Cavalry were sweating coldly on their backs. Just now they almost made a big mistake, but fortunately, the heavens and gods bless them, and the gate of the Palace of Hades was not opened.

"Your Majesty, it's easy to get cold when you touch the water. Your Majesty should go ashore earlier."

Luo Ziqiu bent down on the bank, saluting respectfully.

The torch behind him was gradually scattered, and a thin figure came out from behind the torch without making a sound.

It turned out to be Chen Lingchen.

He was condescending, looking at the center of the hot spring expressionlessly, and his eyes fell on Yan Yuan in the pool. There was only endless indifference and indifference in his eyes, as if he didn't know her at all.

……

Yan Yuan couldn't help shivering as the cold wind blew past.

She has never been a person who cares about face, since there are steps, she took advantage of the opportunity to go ashore.When Luo Ziqiu handed him the cloak, she put it on, and when Luo Ziqiu gave him the pills to dispel the cold, she swallowed it in one gulp.She didn't think about anything, and obediently followed him to the windshield railing next to the hot spring hut and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, Yan Yuan was stunned, and looked at the hut in surprise.

Chen Ling remained silent and looked at Yan Yuan coldly.

Luo Ziqiu naturally became his mouthpiece: "Excuse me, why did your mother come to the back mountain late at night?"

Yan Yuan lowered her head and said, "I am here to find the rabbit."

She blew the wind, and her voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded pitiful at this moment.

It was only then that Luo Ziqiu noticed that she was holding a big white rabbit in her arms. The rabbit's fur was already wet, and it was curled up in Yan Yuan's arms and shivering.

Yan Yuan poked Fubai's ear, and told all the words she had prepared long ago: "It disappeared in the middle of the night, and the palace people... were very panicked, and I couldn't sleep because of the noise."

She was telling the truth.

At the beginning, the whole palace was simply searched for, but after they couldn't find it, there was a commotion. Many palace people cried in despair. By the time she went out, the whole palace was in chaos.

Sure enough, Luo Ziqiu didn't become suspicious, but asked gently: "Where did the lady find it?"

Yan Yuan said, "On the way to the hot spring."

Since this rabbit was Chen Lingchen's rabbit, it was of course an unusual dog.

Yan Yuan thought for a while, but didn't hide the doubts in her heart: "It seems to like hot springs very much. It knows the way, and jumped in as soon as it arrived at the hot springs. It's a pity that it doesn't seem to be able to swim..."

What happened later, of course, does not need to be explained.

She chased the rabbit down the hot spring.

Then he was almost shot to death by random arrows.

Naturally, this kind of matter cannot be studied in detail at the moment, Luo Ziqiu smiled softly, and said: "Fubai used to like to soak in the water, but the water basin in the palace is specially made, and the water is very shallow."

Yan Yuan said coldly: "Oh."

So it is also a stupid rabbit.

Yan Yuan lowered her head, drifting towards Chen Lingchen from the corner of her eye.

At this moment, Chen Lingchen was still standing quietly not far away.

He still didn't speak.

Under the moonlight, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly. There was no aloofness in his body, only a touch of alienation and strangeness, as if the turmoil in this world had nothing to do with him.

So he just watched her coldly?

Yan Yuan gently caressed the rabbit's body with her fingertips, and for a moment, a thought flashed in her mind:
What if the general's arrow didn't hit her hair?

What if the arrow shot just now was her heart?

Chen Lingshen, will he stop it?

Or was he planning to make the mistake and treat her as an assassin?

The mountain wind blew past, Yan Yuan suddenly trembled.

The rabbit in her arms probably finally regained its strength, and its round eyes turned to stare at Chen Lingchen.Immediately, the rabbit's small eyes lit up, and with a kick of its legs, it jumped towards Chen Lingchen!

"squeak--!"

The rabbit rolled and crawled, and finally reached Chen Lingchen's feet, pulling at the hem of his clothes and howling.

This time, Chen Lingchen finally responded.He squatted down, picked up the rabbit with his slender fingers, and hugged it into his arms regardless of whether the rabbit was soaked or not.

Then said with a cold face: "Not afraid."

This was the first sentence he spoke tonight, with a hint of tenderness in his voice.

The rabbit really didn't move in an instant. It crawled in Chen Lingshen's arms, squeaking aggrievedly, as if it had finally found a real savior.

Yan Yuan: "..."

Destroy it.

One and two are ungrateful dog things.

Yan Yuan thought with a blank face.

It's time to end this farce tonight. She actually already had some guesses in her heart, and she was very anxious at the moment, and she didn't want to get angry with the big and small dogs at this time.

Yan Yuan walked up to Chen Lingchen, and said to him, "Your Majesty, my concubine was reckless just now, and now the wind is cold, so I will not bother you."

There was a false smile on her face, and there was clear hope in her eyes.

I want to go back, please let me go.

Signals were radiating from her whole body.

Luo Ziqiu looked at her and wanted to laugh. He stood behind Yan Yuan, over her shoulder, and nodded towards Chen Ling, implying that he could let Yan Yuan go back without worrying about it.

Tonight was lucky for her, but she fell into the hot spring instead of peeking into the secrets in the hut.

However, Chen Lingchen still didn't respond.

His eyelashes drooped, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth softly: "So it's the queen. I just remember that the queen is a timid and gentle woman, so..."

Chen Ling raised his head and said slowly, "It's a pity that I didn't recognize it just now."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Luo Ziqiu: "..."

What a pity.

Yan Yuan was so angry that her fists hardened.

She had no doubts at all that even if she died here today, and when Chen Ling went to court in the future, he would probably tell the civil and military officials that it was a pity that the empress died in the imperial mausoleum unfortunately.

But now is not the time to be angry.

Yan Yuan raised her dry smile again, and bowed respectfully to Chen Ling: "Your Majesty, enjoy yourself, and this concubine should go back to her room to reflect on herself."

Luo Ziqiu said: "I send my wife off."

Yan Yuan shook her head: "No need, Doctor Luo please do it yourself."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked back. She didn't want to stay by this hut any longer, but it was a pity that before she took two steps, she heard Chen Ling's deep voice behind her.

He said, "Since you're here, won't the Queen come into the hut and sit down?"

Yan Yuan was startled, and stopped in her tracks.

Even Luo Ziqiu's breathing was messed up.

He didn't understand why Chen Lingchen made such a sudden decision, but he still wanted to stop him, so he stepped forward to stand between Chen Lingchen and Yan Yuan, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty...the queen, tonight..."

She saw nothing tonight.

There was no need...to pay such a painful price.

But obviously, he failed.

In the silence, Chen Ling frowned.

He was only a few steps away from Yan Yuan, looking at her back, his face was unexpectedly gentle: "We haven't really met each other honestly, tonight is the first time we meet, Yan Yuan."

His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his voice was low and low: "Shouldn't we talk at night by candlelight?"

In the night, curling mist rose above the hot spring, which was warm and humid, making his voice reveal an indescribable ambiguity.

Yan Yuan turned her head and stood a few steps away, looking coldly at Chen Lingchen.

He gently invited her into the cabin.

If she was just Yan Yuan, a daughter of the Hou Mansion who didn't go out of her door, she might have believed it.Believe that he has really repented, wants to shake hands with her and make peace, and may even have a charming fantasy in his heart because of his gentle "talk at night by candlelight".

Unfortunately, she is not.

She had already smelled the faint sour smell coming from the hut. Although it was covered carefully, the smell still diffused to the place where she was standing through the heavy water vapor.

That is a special taste.

There is no smell in the world that can be confused with it. Once you smell it once, you will never forget it.

That is……

The rotting smell of human corpses.

Now she finally knew what Song Wan'er had tried so hard to get her to meet.

If she entered the hut today, there would probably only be two endings: either she would submit the nomination certificate, or she would probably be with the corpse brother.

It's really a deadly secret.

Can't be bothered.
