Chapter 195 Is this just a trick?
The cold wind was whistling beside the moat. Ye Lingchuan had just finished his shift and had just come out of Donghua Gate, walking along the moat towards the Ye Mansion.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and he suddenly felt dizzy. He shook his head, and his vision seemed to be filled with mist. He could vaguely hear the sad sobbing of a woman.
Shangjing is very dry in winter, so how could there be fog suddenly?
"Who's there!" he shouted sternly, his hand already on the sword at his waist.
It has snowed heavily for the past two days, and the river should have been frozen long ago, but the moat still hasn't frozen yet, which seems very strange to Ye Lingchuan.
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the river surface, and a white figure slowly emerged from the water. Black hair stuck to pale cheeks, and water droplets dripped down purple lips.
"Master Ye..." The voice was as vague as a sigh, "The river in Nanyang is so cold..."
Ye Lingchuan stared at the figure for a long time, then his pupils suddenly shrank and he staggered back two steps - this face was clearly the woman he pushed into the river ten years ago!
“You…you…”
Ye Lingchuan was terrified. For a moment, he felt his throat tighten and his fingertips tremble. He spoke tremblingly, "Didn't you already..."
"Dead?" the figure said faintly, brushing his wrist with a cold, wet sleeve. "But I won't accept it."
She suddenly leaned in close, and the scent of river water mixed with the stench of decay hit her face: "Young Master said he loved me, but he made me wait in this cold river for ten years..."
Ye Lingchuan's legs gave way, and he fell to the ground. Under the eerie moonlight, the man's nails shone dark blue as he slowly pinched his neck. "Why don't you... try this, too?"
"No! It's not me! I didn't mean it!" He shook his head frantically, but saw that the corner of the figure's mouth suddenly curled up in a strange arc.
She is smiling...
Why was she laughing? Was it because she could avenge herself...
Seeing the figure's hands clinging to his neck and his legs unable to move as if filled with lead, his heart suddenly ached.
Ye Lingchuan made a gurgling sound in his throat, his fingers dug into the ground tightly, and finally he fell to the ground dejectedly.
Seeing Ye Lingchuan unable to move, Ye Lanzhou slowly took off his human skin mask and looked down at Ye Lingchuan coldly.
He died in a very miserable manner, his face was distorted beyond recognition, and there was a pool of messy liquid on his clothes due to the shock, which gave off a strong fishy smell.
The fog gradually dissipated, and Ye Lanzhou walked back on the bluestone road, with water droplets still dripping down the hem of her skirt.
It’s so cold. I should have brought some dry clothes and put them next to me.
She thought silently, just wanting to return to the palace as soon as possible, but when she turned around, her footsteps suddenly stopped -
Xie Chengyan was leaning against the entrance of an alley not far away. The cold wind made his black cloak sway slightly. His narrow eyes should have been filled with coldness, but when he looked at Ye Lanzhou, there was a hint of tenderness that should not have been there.
He was tall and slender, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. A touch of moonlight shining on his face made his features more three-dimensional.
Ye Lanzhou never denied that Xie Chengyan was very handsome, but this face always revealed a coldness that kept people at a distance, making it seem less attractive.
Now he had a smile on his face, which made him look even more handsome and more... attractive to her.
Ye Lanzhou couldn't help but be stunned until Xie Chengyan spoke, pulling her back from her thoughts.
"Is this just a trick?" He raised his eyebrows, referring to the scene where she murdered Ye Qingshang before.
