Chapter 505 Cold Night
The long and endless nights always wipe out all the will of people bit by bit in this endless silence. Xu Yan lay quietly on the bed, looking up at the curtains that were gently floating with the wind, and suddenly felt that the particularly distant winter in her memory seemed to be approaching. She couldn't help but wrap her cup tightly, shrinking herself tightly, wanting to get a hint of warmth.
For some reason, the corners of her eyes suddenly became a little wet. She did not raise her hand, but let it go on her face. She closed her eyes tightly, not wanting to think about the scenes that made her extremely painful. But the more she wanted to fall asleep faster, the more she would fail here. She couldn't help but sigh, opened her eyes to face these facts that she had to face.
She used to feel that what happened now still had a turning point. As long as she firmly moved forward with confidence, she would definitely encounter an opportunity to solve the problem. Now she is also using this reason to comfort herself and numb herself, but she felt desolate in her heart. A voice in her heart kept telling her: Maybe this time, she really lost.
There are always some things in this world that we cannot recover. We have made all kinds of efforts for it, and exhausted all our strength for it, but we cannot stop it from moving forward in the direction of failure. Xu Yan suddenly felt a little desperate at this moment. She knew the reason for her bad condition, and she knew that at this time she should find someone to speak, and even if she listened to the person's comfort or two, she could cheer up again.
But she knew that there would be no such person. Every night when she woke up from her dream and subconsciously shouted Yingchun's name, the existence of Frost Ghost seemed to remind her: Look, everything has changed, and there are no one around you who can use for you anymore. They have all suffered these unforgettable disasters because of your reasons, but you are still thinking about drawing strength from them at this moment. Xu Yan, you are so selfish.
Yes, she is too selfish. Xu Yan's lips opened and closed, and he silently recited this sentence. The long night was endless. Although she repeated the infinite cycle of insomnia day after day, the sun always rose, and it always forced her to cheer up all her energy to face these things, right?
Just as she was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden sound in the window. The rustling sound was particularly obvious in the quiet night. She couldn't help but erect her ears and carefully distinguished it. Logically, if Yun Lang wanted to attack her, he would definitely tell her what was there, and then find someone to kill her. He loved to see those people struggling desperately in his hands, and at that time he said a few sarcastic words to them, which was Yun Lang's evil taste.
So Xu Yan could almost conclude that the person at the window was not sent by Yun Lang. Who would it be? Was He Yuan sent to pick her up? This is not impossible. According to He Yuan's bad temper, it is very likely that someone would pick her up directly. When Yun Lang asked, he still told him righteously that this was not the case.
But everything was just speculation. It was impossible to determine whether the person's intention to her was good or bad. Xu Yan couldn't help but hold Ningshuang tightly under the pillow and was ready to fight the man at any time. The clear breathing sound was getting closer and closer to her, until when she arrived in front of Xu Yan's bed, she instantly understood the identity of this man.
She lost her strength in just a moment of holding Ningshuang's hand. She breathed lightly in disbelief, but her heart was beating wildly. How could it be him? She was obviously denying this fact in her heart, but the familiar cold fragrance between her breath was so warm that she almost burst into tears.
She heard his breath getting closer and closer to her, and all her thoughts couldn't help but get confused. What did he want to do when he came to her room so late? Did he come for Yun Lang? Countless speculations flashed through her mind, but the last thought was: Will he hear my crazy heartbeat?
Before she could calm down her emotions, the man had already spoken: "You're awake." The short three words suddenly made her wake up. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her, which was exactly the same as what she had guessed. She turned her head and refused to look at him, then lowered her voice and asked, "What's the price for you to come here late at night? Besides, don't you know how tight the defense outside is? Do you want to confront him head-on?"
Several questions hit Yunqi like a cannon. Yunqi looked at Xu Yan, who looked particularly serious, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements." Xu Yan couldn't help but rush to hear his calm answer. She gave him a blank look, looked at the guards patrolling outside nervously, and then turned her eyes back to him again, saying to him, "You have your arrangements at all times, and you never consider the arrangements of others."
Yun Qi listened to Xu Yan's words, and he was clearly teaching him a lesson, but he insisted on hearing some care. His smile on his lips became deeper: "Okay, listen to you next time." Xu Yan looked at his expression and realized how ambiguous the conversation they had just now was. She avoided his gaze with a panic look, and then said to him: "You must remember that I already have a prince, and you must not be so disrespectful to etiquette in the future."
Until the end, she couldn't bear to say too much. After all, although Yunqi's marriage with Liang Yu accounted for part of the reason, the final decision was made by her. So she also had to take responsibility for this decision, not only for her own reputation, but also for Liang Yu. Thinking of this, she silently wrapped the quilt tightly and retreated.
After hearing what Xu Yan said just now, Yunqi saw her escape like this. The smile on her lips quietly retreated, and there was a little invisible depth in her eyes: "Okay, I will pay attention in the future. I will not cause any damage to His Majesty's reputation."
As soon as this sentence came out, the two of them didn't say anything to each other anymore, and the empty room fell silent again. Until the patrolling guards outside gathered their steps, tall guards kept protruding their heads into Xu Yan's room, and then said something to the guards next to them.
Xu Yan noticed their actions and held his breath unconsciously. She asked whisperedly, "Did they find you?" Yun Qi's expression was also very solemn. He listened carefully to the conversation between the two outside, while standing up his index finger and putting it on his lips to make a "shhh" move to Xu Yan.
Xu Yan now understood the seriousness of the matter. Yun Qi's actions were probably discovered by the guards outside. The two of them had to think of a countermeasure quickly, otherwise they would not be able to pass today's level.
Seeing that the guards outside were looking at her room more frequently, the footsteps of the guards also became mixed. Xu Yan quickly put his hand around Yunqi's neck, stuffing him into his quilt before Yunqi could react at all, and then he lay down and pretended to be asleep.
