This afternoon, when Xiao Yi returned to his and Nangong Yue's yard from the dungeon in Bixiaotang, the sunset had already set for a little while, and the sky was still bright.
Hearing the maid said that the princess was in the small study, Xiao Yi directly picked up the curtain and entered the room.
Nangong Yue was sitting by the window drinking tea, when she heard the sound, she looked at Xiao Yi and greeted her with a smile, "A Yi, you are back!"
Xiao Yi also laughed, and the corners of his eyes curled up. He walked towards her and said, "Ah Yue, do you know what Bai Muxiao said?"
"Does she still insist that she is from a thousand years later?" Nangong Yue put down the blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand and asked curiously.
Xiao Yi sat down on a mahogany armchair beside Nangong Yue, nodded with a smile and said, "Xiao Bai said, what she said should be true."
After the founding of Dai Viet, Guan Yubai was free and thought of Bai Muxiao who was still locked in the dungeon, so seven or eight days ago, Guan Yubai sent someone to interrogate Bai Muxiao, day and night... such a toss A few days later, the exhausted Bai Muxiao finally couldn't stand it any longer, and finally confessed that she came from a thousand years later, so she only knew what others didn't know.
Just now, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai went to the dungeon again to meet Bai Muxiao. After interrogating, Guan Yubai came to this conclusion.
Nangong Yue blinked, unable to hide her surprise. Bai Muxiao is really...
Xiao Yi casually picked up the teacup that Nangongyue had drunk half before, drank the remaining half cup of tea in one gulp, and continued: "Over the years, Bai Muxiao has written many poems, each of which is widely praised. However, these The language styles of the poems and lyrics are very different, obviously they were not written by the same person... Xiaobai said, if the truth is what Bai Muxiao said, then those poems, crossbows and iron smelting techniques can all be explained!"
As far as Xiao Yi is concerned, he doesn't care if Bai Muxiao is from a thousand years later, since she said yes, let's just treat her as such!
Hearing this, Nangong Yue's expression became more complicated, yes, this can explain many doubts about Bai Muxiao.
Nangong Yue's heart was in turmoil for a moment, and many pictures flashed in her mind like a revolving lantern, both in the past life and in the present life.
In her past and present lives, there are many strange things about Bai Muxiao, the poems she wrote, the amazing words she occasionally uttered, the shocking things she presented from time to time...
Since he was lucky enough to go back to the age of nine and do it all over again, it seems that it is not impossible for Bai Muxiao to come to this era after a thousand years.
"There are so many wonders in this great world..." Nangong Yue murmured.
Xiao Yi shrugged casually, and then said with a smile: "God let her come here across a thousand years, so she brought some things here." Xiao Yi's beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkled with interest, shining brightly, like a Like an eagle eyeing its prey.
Xiao Yi's overly bright eyes made Nangong Yue inexplicably feel sympathy for Bai Muxiao. She can be sure that being targeted by Xiao Yi is definitely not a good thing!
Xiao Yi played with the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand with a smile, and continued: "In the thousand years, not only weapons, poetry, and smelting techniques have improved, but also technologies in other walks of life should have accumulated and grown a lot. few!"
He has already ordered the guards in the dungeon to continue the interrogation, so that Bai Muxiao's value must be squeezed out, so that the fate of God sending her to Da Viet is not in vain!
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Yi with a wry smile, but was not surprised by Xiao Yi's reaction.
Her Ah Yi has always been like this, and I don't know if it's because she has a big heart, or if she is particularly good at grasping "key points", or if she doesn't stick to one pattern...
There was a moment of silence in the room, and the sunset outside set a little further.
Xiao Yi consciously went to add tea to his concubine. Before the tea was filled, Nangong Yue's voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Ah Yi, I want to see Bai Muxiao..."
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised in his heart, but he has always been responsive to Nangong Yue's requests, and he readily complied immediately.
He stood up, brushed off his robe casually, and stretched out his hand to Nangong Yue with a smile.
The two of them clasped hands, walked out of the house slowly, walked towards the front yard, and strolled in the courtyard.
At dusk, the warm breeze blew head-on, messing up Nangong Yue's bangs and a few strands of hair at the sideburns. She looked as usual, with bottomless black eyes that were somewhat complicated.
She had known for a long time that Xiao Yi had someone bring Bai Muxiao to Nanjiang all the way, but she never thought about seeing Bai Muxiao. She felt that her grievances with Bai Muxiao and Han Lingfu had already been settled in this life.
To her, Bai Muxiao was just an irrelevant person.
However, when Nangong Yue began to believe that Bai Muxiao might really come from a thousand years later, she suddenly wanted to see Bai Muxiao again, and wanted to meet this person who had the same incredible adventure as herself.
In fact, even she herself didn't know what she wanted to know from Bai Muxiao...
Maybe when she meets Bai Muxiao, she will have the answer naturally.
As he was thinking, the courtyard where the dungeon was located appeared in front of him. The guard did not expect that the Crown Princess would also come with the Crown Prince, with a look of surprise on his face, he hurriedly greeted the two masters.
The dungeon of Bixiaotang is at least five or six feet away from the ground, and the underground is relatively humid. Even though it is a hot summer day, the dungeon is still very gloomy.
A few blazing torches illuminated the corridor of the dungeon dimly, only the sound of a few people's footsteps and the sound of the flame jumping interlacedly sounded.
When the door of that prison cell was opened by the guards, Bai Muxiao, who was imprisoned inside, was reclining on a straw mat in a state of embarrassment, her long black hair was messily scattered on the straw mat, and she was taller than half an inch. A month ago, she lost a lot of weight, so thin that even the eye sockets were slightly sunken, and there was a heavy shadow under her eyes.
She looked extremely tired, as if she didn't even have the strength to move. When the cell door opened, she trembled like a bird frightened. She struggled to open her eyelids and looked in the direction of the cell door. The light from the torch made her uncomfortable. I had to squint my eyes slightly.
Several days of interrogation pushed Bai Muxiao to the brink of despair. There was no torture or severe punishment. The guards in the dungeon just took turns to interrogate her one after another, asking her the same questions repeatedly. Give her a chance to sleep...
This kind of mental torture almost defeated Bai Muxiao, making her seem to have become another person at this moment, and the original self-confidence that was exalted was gone.
She thought it was the guards who came to interrogate her again, and murmured suddenly: "I've recruited, I've recruited..."
Suddenly, as if she had been choked, her voice stopped abruptly. Her eyes fell on a young woman standing at the door. The rose-red dress made her skin more radiant than snow.
It's been five years, five years since Nangong Yue left the capital together with Xiao Yi... I haven't seen her for many years, but Bai Muxiao still recognized her at a glance, her cousin Nangong Yue.
This is not what it used to be.
Nanjiang has officially established a country, Nangong Yue is now the dignified princess of the Yue Kingdom, but she is imprisoned, letting the other party fish and flesh like that humble ant.
One is in the sky and the other is underground.
Looking up at Nangong Yue who was only a few steps away from her, Bai Muxiao felt a strong sense of unwillingness, like a volcano erupting in an instant...
In the final analysis, all this is just because Nangong Yue's luck in picking a man is better than hers!
If she hadn't misjudged the person at the beginning, and paid Han Lingfu wrongly with her heart, why would she be like this!
If she had chosen Xiao Yi at the beginning, then she would be the Crown Princess of Yue Kingdom now. She is not an ordinary woman like Nangong Yue who only knows three obediences and four virtues. With her talent, she can help Xiao Yi stand to a higher level. position, help him conquer the world of Dayu!
Unfortunately, time is not with me.
She happened to meet Han Lingfu first...
If there really is a heaven, Bai Muxiao really wants to question why it gave her such a fate since it sent her here thousands of years ago? !
Thinking about it, Bai Muxiao couldn't help clenching her hands tightly into fists, and many memories of the past in the capital flashed through her mind...
She and Nangong Yue have always been at odds, she was thinking about the relationship between cousins, but Nangong Yue always regarded her as an enemy and opposed her everywhere, and the other party came here today not to let her out, but to Just humiliate her.
Bai Muxiao got up from the ground with difficulty and embarrassment, her dress was empty, and her figure looked a bit hunched. She leaned her back against the wall and stared directly at Nangong Yue, her cloudy eyes were filled with unwillingness, and she slowly said with all her strength:
"Cousin Yue, you are just lucky!"
Everything Nangong Yue has now is because of Xiao Yi, without Xiao Yi, she is nothing at all!
That's right, she is far superior to Nangong Yue in terms of talent and insight, she shouldn't have fallen into this situation...
Bai Muxiao gritted her molars and said bitterly, "I didn't lose to you, I just lost to luck!"
Nangong Yue looked at Bai Muxiao quietly, feeling a little disappointed: After so many years, Bai Muxiao still hasn't changed at all!
Too…
Nangong Yue couldn't help but recall the last side of her and Bai Muxiao in her previous life, and said to herself: Yes, Bai Muxiao has never changed.
This is true both in the previous life and in the present life.
"You are still obsessed..." Nangong Yue sighed faintly, "Your luck is already better than tens of thousands of people in this world, but you are not satisfied!"
Bai Muxiao's extravagant hope is to become the most honorable woman in the world, she has never been satisfied, that's why she has come to today's end step by step.
Nangong Yue pursed her lips, and there was a touch of sarcasm on her lips, "I have never competed with you, how can I win or lose?!"
There is no winning or losing in life, in just a few decades, it is just trying to make yourself and your relatives and friends live better, and it is nothing more than a clear conscience!
"..." Bai Muxiao trembled all over, speechless, a trace of grayness appeared in her pale face.
Nangong Yue never looked at her again, and didn't want to say anything to her anymore, so she turned and left.
Bai Muxiao and Han Lingfu are the same type of people who always blame others for their mistakes, and always covet things that don't belong to them as a matter of course. They are the ones who have driven themselves to a dead end.
Han Lingfu coveted the throne and did not hesitate to kill his father and king. For the so-called "love", Bai Muxiao insisted on being a concubine in the past and present, but she couldn't tolerate her regular wife. She made mistakes again and again... In the end, everything she did was just For her own sake only.
That's why she got involved with Kui Lang;
So she gave up her poor eldest son;
So, until now, she has never thought about the fate of her second son Han Weijun...
Nangong Yue's eyes were peaceful and quiet, and she felt that she had already got the answer she wanted.
Bai Muxiao came to Dayu after a thousand years. No matter how she lived a thousand years later, her being here is equivalent to gaining a new life. Just like being reborn herself, the experiences of the two of them are actually similar. , Nangong Yue couldn't help being touched, so she couldn't help but want to see Bai Muxiao again.
But after only a few words with Bai Muxiao, Nangong Yue suddenly realized that different ways do not conspire with each other.
In the previous and present lives, she and Bai Muxiao were not the same people, so what else is there to talk about!
Today may be a conclusion, which means that the turmoil of the previous life has completely passed away...
Nangong Yue walked up the stone steps of the dungeon unhurriedly, step by step, leaving behind her past and the past, into the darkness of the dungeon...
At this time, the sky outside was already half-dark, and only the last blush of the setting sun was left in the western sky.
Xiao Yi stood outside the dungeon with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a smile, his smile was brighter than the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Ayi!"
Nangong Yue walked towards Xiao Yi with big strides, and also smiled like a flower.
At this moment, she completely let go of the burden of her previous life and forgot everything about her previous life.
She knows that her life will be more and more perfect in the future!
She took the initiative to hold his hand, and Xiao Yi would never go against his good behavior, so he entangled her fingers together, palms to palms, passing the body temperature to each other.
Needless to say, the two of them held hands and walked back slowly...
The sunset soon completely set, the sky was dark, the surrounding trees swayed in the night wind, shadowy, and another night came, and the palace lanterns were lit in the Bixiao Hall, emitting soft light.
In the night sky, a crescent moon hangs, quietly looking down.
As Nangong Yue walked, she looked up at the silver moon in the sky, with a peaceful smile on her lips, and suddenly said, "Ayi, I want to eat dumplings tomorrow, shall we make dumplings together?"
"Okay!" Xiao Yi hurriedly responded, "Then I'll be in charge of chopping the meat!" This kind of work with a knife is most suitable for him.
As he said that, he thought of something, smiled slyly, touched his chin with his right hand, and suggested: "How about letting Xiaohui go hunting for us at night?!"
At the same time as the voice fell, there was a loud eagle cry from above them, as if responding to something, the gray eagle spread its wings and glided in mid-air, flying towards the front yard...
The eagle's crowing with some demonstrations was so loud that it almost resounded through the night sky, and a group of birds started up, fluttering their wings in a panic, and there was also a cat's exclamation in the middle, "Meow!"
Nangong Yue couldn't help smiling, her brows were bright.
Xiao Hui's long howl also alarmed the people in the yard at the same time, Xiao Yu in a blue robe rushed over like a whirlwind, shouting: "Mother! Daddy!"
Xiao Xiaoyu grabbed Nangong Yue's free left hand, shook it coquettishly, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, I have been looking for you for a long time! My brother just woke up and has been looking for you!"
As if to verify his statement, there was a burst of crying from a baby in the room.
Little Xiao Ye was an obedient child, and he seldom cried on weekdays. When he cried, Nangong Yue's heart was tightly gripped by his crying.
The nurse quickly brought the baby over, and when the baby smelled the familiar scent of the mother, it gradually calmed down, the rosy mouth was opened and closed, and the two rows of long eyelashes still hung with crystals. The teardrops look so pitiful.
"Daddy, look, my brother isn't crying anymore!" Xiao Xiaoyu smiled in surprise.
Xiao Yi stretched out an index finger, poked little Xiao Ye's right cheek, and teased: "Little crying bag!"
Little Xiao Yu saw that he was also learned and well-behaved, poked Xiao Xiao Ye's left cheek with his index finger, and repeated in a similar tone: "My brother is a little crying bag!"
Nangong Yue didn't know whether to laugh or sympathize with their brother Ye.
She had a faint intuition that it might not be easy for poor brother Ye in the future, and he would have to survive under the double oppression of his own father and elder brother.
"Giggle..."
The baby Xiao Ye didn't notice it, and let out a crisp laugh innocently, which made the others laugh too.
The hearty laughter of the family of four echoed in the room, intertwined with the occasional crowing of eagles...
The wind is warm, the night is getting dark...
Tomorrow will be better.
