withered prosperity

It was already dark outside the window, obviously he had slept through the whole day.

In the dim light, Yun Ji looked completely different from usual.

Yun Ji has always been upright and self-restraining, speaking and acting politely, there is not even a pleat on his clothes...

Now he is leaning there lazily, with loose hair and a casual look, but from such a close distance, he still looks unreal.

Yan Hai stepped back a little, but was pushed back to his original position.

He bumped into Yunji's arms, and Yunji put one arm around his waist and the other around his back, trapping him so that he couldn't move.

"Don't move around." Yun Ji yelled at him softly: "Just finished taking the medicine."

In fact, needless to say, Yun Ji immediately sensed the foreign matter in his body as soon as he moved.

"That, that is..." He was so embarrassed that he couldn't even speak clearly.

"It's just a few pills, which will dissolve on their own after a while, so don't worry about it."

These words kept circling in Yan Hai's mind, his whole body froze, his visible blush dyed from his ears to his toes.

Yun Ji had never seen him like this before, and thought it was very interesting, so he propped his jaw and looked at him in a daze.

"Take it, take it out... Take it out for me!" If it wasn't for his hoarse voice, pale face, and red and swollen eyes, he could have said this sentence very imposingly.

"No, Wei Heng said it's good for you." He noticed Yan Hai's slight trembling, and said unkindly, "Would you like to show it to you? I even asked him for a lot..."

"Enough." Yan Hai interrupted him in a panic.

Yun Ji didn't continue talking, he picked up Yan Hai's hair, put it in his mouth, and bit it gently with his teeth, a gloomy light flashed in his eyes.

"What are you doing..." After last night, Yan Hai was very familiar with his movements, and immediately lost his temper.

This person especially likes to bite his hair, the back of his neck, and...Yan Hai only felt a dull pain all over his body.

"I seem to have heard someone mention Xie Zhilan's name just now." He coughed, trying to change the subject.

"Fu Bo reported just now that Xie Zhilan will send her adopted daughter to the palace tomorrow." Yun Ji didn't continue to tease him: "Yin Yuzhang promised to make her a concubine."

"Adopted daughter?"

Compared with what Fu Bo saw when he came, this news surprised Yan Hai even more.

But he thought for a while, and immediately figured it out: "Hua Lian?"

Yun Ji nodded.

"If the Mu family was breeding butterflies, then Hua Lian's disappearance should have something to do with the Mu family, but she entered the palace in the name of the Xie family..." Even Yan Hai was disturbed by this complicated relationship. I'm a little confused. "The two of them, shouldn't fire and water be incompatible?"

"Some people in this world don't care too much about past grievances as long as they can get enough benefits." Yun Ji said indifferently: "But thanks to Zhilan's mind and ambition, she shouldn't be so easily attached to the Mu family. , there must be something hidden in it.”

"What about Bai Lele's death?" Yan Hai asked him, "Could it really be Bai Pianpian's doing?"

"I found someone in Jiangdong, and I found some very interesting things." Yun Ji couldn't help but smile when he stared in bewilderment. "Before Bai Pianpian entered the palace..."

Before entering the palace, Bai Pianpian originally had a childhood sweetheart, but Yin Yuzhang saw her portrait, liked her beauty very much, and appointed her to be a concubine in the palace.Her parents and uncle insisted on breaking them up for the benefit of the family.Of course she didn't want to, so she made an appointment to elope with her lover that night, but she waited until dawn, but her lover never disappeared.

"Actually not?"

"No." Yun Ji pulled him into his arms: "It took her a long time to find out that the lover was imprisoned by her parents, and later died for no apparent reason on the way to Beijing to find her."

"What did she do when she found out?"

"I didn't do anything." Yun Ji played with his hair: "I just worked harder to please Yin Yuzhang, climbed to the position of imperial concubine, and earned a great future for the Bai family."

"But this is unreasonable..." The common sense is that she should hate the Bai family, Yin Yuzhang, and all these people who ruined her life.

"People's hearts are always the most unpredictable in this world." Yun Ji smiled: "Maybe she finally understands that everything is the best for her now."

"Then Bai Lele..." Yan Hai frowned as he thought about it, and suddenly thought: "Have there been any deaths of girls recently?"

"There are many intermittently, Murong has a very headache."

After he finished speaking, he clearly saw that Yan Hai hesitated to speak, but he didn't ask.

"That..." Yan Hai grabbed his fingers that had been playing with his hair: "I haven't told you before, but I know roughly what they want those wombs for."

Yun Ji just looked at him.

"If you want to hatch those butterflies, you have to do it in the Huayu pond." He lightly stroked Yun Ji's fingertips: "But this is not Qianlian Island, there is no real Huayu pond, and to let the butterflies hatch, you must There is the most yin thing instead, so they should have chosen the virgin womb."

"anything else?"

"What else?" Yan Hai raised his head and looked at him suspiciously.

"The divine orb in Huayu Pond?" Yun Ji reminded.

Yue Liuyi kept saying that as long as he could obtain the divine orb in Huayu Pond, he would be able to undo the blood poison on them.

But Yan Hai never answered the question, as if he was deliberately avoiding this question.

"This matter... Actually, I haven't mentioned it, not because I want to hide something from you, but because I don't know what to say." Yan Hai sighed softly: "Because the divine pearl in Huayu Pond , even on the island, it’s just a legend, and none of us have really seen it.”

"legend?"

"Yes, it is said that there is such a 'God Bead' under Huayu Pond, which is inlaid on the cornerstone of the entire Qianlian Island." As if thinking of something interesting, Yan Hai couldn't help laughing: "As for What's the use, it's probably the same as other legends in the world, it can live to the death of human flesh and bones, live forever, reborn into a fairy, etc... Yue Liuyi believes in this matter, and has wanted to get this treasure since she was a child."

"Has she tried?"

"Of course I tried, but the undercurrent in Huayu Pond is so strong that I can't dive too deep." Yan Hai separated his five fingers from him and clasped them together: "Yue Liuyi's water skills are the best among us, but she has never successfully crossed those undercurrents." , I almost lost my life a few times.”

"Have you tried?"

"You know I don't know how to swim." Yan Hai closed his eyes: "And I don't want to see that damn pool again in my life..."

The two of them are very clear that this sentence is mostly out of anger, if they return to the island...

Yun Ji didn't speak, but hugged him tighter.

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Pavilion Master." Wei Heng said outside the door. "I'll bring the medicine."

As soon as Yan Hai heard his voice, his heart that had just been let go lifted up again.

Yun Ji put him aside and got up to get the medicine.

He heard Wei Heng asking if he was awake, and Yun Ji dismissed him after saying a few words to avoid the seriousness.

Whenever he thinks of Wei Heng, Yan Hai thinks of him and Yue Liuyi...

"What are you thinking?" Yun Ji came over with the medicine that was still steaming.

He shook his head, trying to sit up, but when he moved, he froze immediately...

With a smile on the corner of Yun Ji's mouth, he supported him to sit on his body.

Yan Hai raised his hand to take the medicine bowl, but Yun Ji avoided it. He blew the medicine to cool down a little before handing it to Yan Hai's mouth.

"Myself..." Meeting his gaze, Yan Hai swallowed his words back, and obediently drank the medicine by his hand.

After drinking, he just raised his head when Yun Ji pressed the back of his neck and kissed him.

Yun Ji scoured his mouth for the bitter saliva, and finally licked his lips again.

"Yan Hai." He leaned against Yan Hai's lips and said, "With me around, you don't need to be afraid of anything."
