Chapter 67

Back at Xiangyu Building, candles were still burning in the Liulan courtyard, and He'er was sitting on the first floor, yawning.

Seeing her come back, he stepped forward excitedly.

"Girl, you're back, are you hurt?" He'er pulled her and looked her up and down, fearing that she might get hurt.

She also knew about Du Lanyan's captivity today, so she waited here.

"It's okay, is Sufei here?" Du Lanyan shook her head with a smile, and asked while holding her hand.

"Su Fei took someone out to find you, but she hasn't come back yet." He'er replied truthfully.

"Go and tell the lord that I have something important to discuss and wait for him in the Liulan Courtyard." After Du Lanyan finished speaking, she went upstairs. She wanted to ask Sufei to find Wei Jiali after Sufei came back. , but she couldn't wait any longer, so she ordered He'er to go.

When they went upstairs, they found He'er following behind, so they asked, "Why haven't you gone yet?"

"Girl, it's so late now, it's not good to bother the lord." He'er looked troubled, and Du Lanyan didn't force others, and said: "Then Sufei is back, ask her to come see me."

After all, he entered the house and closed the door.

In the middle of the room was the Tianyinqin, which Sufei should have brought back. At this moment, the moonlight streamed on it, and it was indescribably lonely. Du Lanyan walked over and sat at the table.

In the days of waiting, she was always very anxious, but the time passed very slowly. She kept her eyes on the piano, and then moved her ten fingers, playing the piano to pass the time.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt that the sky was faintly turning white, Du Lanyan just stopped, her ten fingertips were bright red, and all of them were broken.

She seemed unconscious, stood up and leaned against the window, staring into the distance in a daze.

After playing the piano all night, my heart became much calmer.

At dawn, Sufei didn't come, but Wei Jiali did.

"Who was kidnapped yesterday?" As soon as he came in, he asked.

"Wei Jiaming." Du Lanyan replied, took two steps forward, and asked, "Did the Prince's Mansion catch the mastermind who assassinated Han Ruxue yesterday, did you see that?"

"It's indeed caught. It's the bride who was recruiting relatives in Biwen that day. She was taken to Dali Temple and locked up this morning." Wei Jiali nodded, replied, and then asked: "What did Wei Jiaming arrest you for?"

"He was unwilling to be teased by me on the Water Respecting Festival, so he arrested me and I escaped." Du Lanyan made a long story short.

Suddenly he knelt down on the ground and said: "My lord, I have never asked you for anything, but today I only ask you to rescue the people in the prison."

Wei Jiali looked at her with cold eyes, "I already guessed that you must know the woman in the red dress. I asked you that day. Since you chose to hide it, why did you come to me today?"

Du Lanyan was at a loss for words, if she had no way out and no one to ask, she would not be willing to ask him!
"It was you who took away the woman in red that day. I am not the only one who suspects you. Dali Temple has sent heavy soldiers to guard the cell. It is impossible to save her. If you want to live well, don't save her again." Mind, don't jump into it knowing it's a trap!" Wei Jiali's expression was indifferent, this incident was clearly a trap set by Wei Jiarui, if he was stupid enough to jump into it, he would destroy himself.

"So what if it's a trap? You asked others to do it, but you didn't do it yourself. There is no one in the Du family. Bitao was lucky and escaped. How can she be let down now because she wants to avenge the Du family?" Will she lose her life? I beg you, save her!" Du Lanyan knelt a few steps, went to Wei Jiali's feet, and begged by his robe.

This matter is a trap, she had figured it out last night, Bi Taowan would not betray her, they must have found out Bi Tao's identity, Wei Jiarui suspected herself, so she set a trap to try.

Yesterday, Wei Jiaming, who had a relationship with him, kidnapped her, and then deliberately mentioned Bi Tao in front of her.

To do this is to let her show her true colors. She knows all of this, and she also knows it. In order to protect herself, she can only ignore it and pretend that she doesn't know anything. But, she can't do it!
Let her watch Bi Tao be beheaded, she can't do it no matter what.

"My king has endured it for so many years, how can I fall short because of you? People, this king will not save you, and you, think about your dead relatives. So many people have died, why not die one more? Instead of crying here, think about how to get revenge." Wei Jiali was unmoved, he knew that Wei Jiarui had set a trap, so how could he ruin himself because of an insignificant person?
"Are you really so ruthless? Are you not afraid that I will have a different heart for you because of this matter?" If you can't beg, you threaten.

"You? What do you have now? Do you think someone will believe what you say? Don't be naive. If you obediently do things for this king, this king can still save your life." Wei Jiali didn't even look at her. The face is contemptuous.

Du Lanyan sat on the ground slumped, she guessed right, Wei Jiali had no intention of cooperating with her from the very beginning, all along, he regarded her as a chess piece, a chess piece that would be used if it was useful, and discarded if it was not useful.

A person like him is selfish and can only think of his own interests. If she came to him for nothing, how could he not want her?

"I was impulsive today. I won't take care of Bi Tao's affairs anymore. As you said, if you keep yourself, you can still take revenge. Anyway, so many people in the Du family have died, and I don't care about one more." She said with dull eyes. In this case, there is a smile on the corner of the mouth, but there are tears in the eyes.

"It's best if you can figure it out." Wei Jiali said coldly, and continued: "Don't go out in the next few days, so as not to cause any trouble."

"What trouble can happen? I deliberately avoided it, but it still makes people suspicious. Don't worry, my lord, I am not a person who can't hold back." Du Lanyan said coldly, if he didn't save Bitao, would he still stop her? ?

"Think twice before acting. I won't protect you if something goes wrong. After all, until now, apart from your identity, you haven't made me feel that you are worth taking advantage of." Wei Jiali's attitude is quite different from the past. Maybe it was because of Du Lanyan's deliberate concealment before, which made him angry, or maybe, as he said, Du Lanyan has not done anything beneficial to him except to make herself famous in Taiping City, that is, His so-called value, so his attitude towards Du Lanyan is no longer polite.

"I see." Du Lanyan replied, and he turned and left.

From the beginning of the cooperation, he never fully trusted her, nor gave her real power, as if she was really just a pawn of his.

Although she moves freely, her behavior is monitored everywhere. Now, Wei Jiali has torn her face even more.

Du Lanyan snorted coldly, a person who is so restless and doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons, no wonder he can't beat Wei Jiarui, he is doomed to be a loser.
