The sky was dark, deeper and dew heavier.
In the palace of Cangzhong King, the woman lay quietly on the two-meter-square dragon bed made of rosewood, looking sideways at the place where she could see, seeing the deep purple and black rosewood on the edge of the bed under the soft light The lower floor has a satin-like luster, while the pure blue floor tiles on the floor are covered with a soft carpet made of wild animal fur, forming a different kind of luxury. This bedroom is not like other palaces, except for the bed curtain, there are no other curtains hanging, but the interior furnishings are simple, the lines are clear, the space is spacious but not empty, giving people the feeling, just like the owner of this room, bright and cheerful atmosphere. She has been lying on this bed with her eyes open for more than an hour. On the low cabinet next to the bed are the clothes that the maid prepared for the next morning to serve the concubine. The rose red fabric is embroidered with gorgeous and complicated patterns. , were neatly folded. She raised her eyes and looked at the four maids standing in the room, and she couldn't help frowning slightly. It was three o'clock, and Ning Qianyi was still coming, so she couldn't help feeling a little anxious. She could wait, but she was afraid that no one could wait.
At this moment, the guard's voice came from outside the bedroom: "Your Majesty!"
Following the sound, the door was opened, and Ning Qianyi strode in. His sleeves were flapped as he walked, and the footsteps sounded a little impetuous. He walked quickly to the bed and looked at the familiar face of the woman whose body was tightly wrapped in a blanket. His eyes no longer had the tenderness and longing of the past, but were replaced by deliberately suppressed anger and madness, as if he was forcing Resisting the desire to throw her out.
The woman was slightly taken aback, seeing that Ning Qianyi's mood was not right today, and seeing that there seemed to be a cluster of flames rushing up from his eyes, she secretly screamed that it was not good, and wanted him to dismiss the palace lady, but before she could speak, the man was already in a state of confusion She jumped up on the ground, raised her big hand, and was about to lift the blanket on her body, she was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly raised her hand to grab it tightly.
"Wait a minute." She called out in a hurry. How could he be allowed to open it like this without wearing an inch of thread on his body? And this person is none other than Man Yao who was carried over in the appearance of Concubine Cen. In her eyes, Ning Qianyi has always been a modest gentleman, open and bright, never thought that this would be the case when he gets along with his concubines.
Ning Qianyi paused for a moment, looked at the panicked expression in the woman's eyes, frowned, and mocked slightly: "Didn't my concubine always think I'm not enthusiastic enough? You should be happy if I satisfy you once today." That's right, why are you afraid again?!"
Man Yao frowned, and quickly calmed herself down, "There are still people in the room, let them retreat first."
Ning Qianyi frowned, and said with a puzzled expression, "Since when were you afraid of someone in the room? They are always there."
Manyao was taken aback, how could this be? It was precisely because Ning Qianyi was always surrounded by people, and she thought that only when the concubine was sleeping, would there be no one else, but she did not expect that Ning Qianyi and the tea concubine were happy, and there was a maid in the room? Now, what can she do
A court lady peeked over, and Man Yao hurriedly showed a charming smile that belonged to Concubine Cen, trying to imitate Concubine Cen's voice and tone, with a slightly withdrawn tone, "Your Majesty, I don't want her to stay here today. Here, let them retreat." She looked at Ning Qianyi expectantly.
Ning Qianyi smiled and said: "I want them to stay tonight." His smile at the moment is not the bright and bright she has seen before, but with an indescribable depression and sadness. As soon as Ning Qianyi said that, he untied his belt, threw it away, and quickly took off his clothes, revealing his strong upper body.
With a healthy and elegant body, firm honey-colored skin, and a perfect waist line, under the orange-red light, there is a temptation to disturb people's hearts. Although the few court ladies were already used to this kind of situation, they still couldn't stop their blushes and their hearts beating. They hurriedly lowered their heads, and couldn't help dreaming that one day they too could become the masters of this dragon's wife.
Seeing that he moved so fast, Man Yao felt panicked, unable to stop him, Ning Qianyi waved his big hand, and the bed curtains on both sides fell, and he had already stepped onto the dragon bed.
Man Yao sat up in shock, retreated into the bed, tightly wrapped the blanket with her hands to cover her body tightly.
Ning Qianyi was wearing white trousers, watching her movements condescendingly, always felt that this woman was very strange today, as if she was a different person, could it be that she suddenly changed her gender? Or playing the game of say no to yes? He slowly squatted down, moved in front of her, looked at the guard in her eyes, suddenly became interested, reached out and grabbed her slender shoulders, bowed his head and kissed her on the lips.
Manyao immediately turned her head to avoid it, and quickly whispered in his ear: "Qianyi, it's me!"
Ning Qianyi's body trembled, and the hand that grabbed her shoulder froze. The voice...
He turned to look at her in shock, a little in disbelief.
Man Yao glanced at the maid who was faintly visible outside the bed, and said in a low voice, "Let go of me first."
Ning Qianyi unconsciously let go of her hands, her gaze was fixed on her eyes all the time, she didn't feel it just now, but looking at it now, those eyes are clear and bright, which is indeed not what Concubine Cen can have. "You, you are..."
"Hush!" Man Yao signaled him to be silent first, and then said, "Let them go out."
"You all retreat." Ning Qianyi ordered to the outside, and the maids saluted and exited and closed the door. When Ning Qianyi turned to look at her again, she had raised her hand to remove the human skin mask on her face, revealing a A beautiful and refined face.
"Liyue, it's really you!" His eyes shone brightly, and the anger of the past three days disappeared instantly because of the woman in front of him. He didn't think about why she came here pretending to be Concubine Cen, he only knew that all his moods were filled with ecstasy.
Excited, that's about it!
His eyes were burning like fire, and he repeatedly lingered on her body, as if he was afraid that he would make a mistake.
The woman was wrapped in a purple-red blanket, her black hair was draped softly behind her, and a few hunched shoulders scattered on her slightly exposed fragrant shoulders, making her jade-like skin more and more translucent, making people unable to move their eyes away. He inhaled lightly, and smelled a tempting fragrance. He couldn't help swallowing, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, something rushed into the blood and nerves of his whole body in an instant, making his body stiff and his breathing quickened.
Feeling the dangerous sarcasm from him, Man Yao hurriedly gathered the blanket tighter on her body, but she didn't know that this kind of unintentional action in front of a man who was already giving birth to despair made him want to get rid of her immediately. The impulse of all the coverings on the body.
"Liyue..." His voice was hoarse with lust, and the burning desire in his eyes was so clear
Man Yao panicked, moved away quickly, put a little more distance from him, and said to him in a calm voice as much as possible: "Qian Yi, go out for a while, let me put on my clothes first. I have something to do in a while. Want to talk to you."
Her cold voice gradually restored his rationality, which was about to be burned. Hearing her say that he has something to talk to him? He turned his eyes slightly, frowned slightly, and did not get out of bed immediately after listening to her words, but squatted there, looking into her eyes thoughtfully, a same question popped up in his mind like this: What made her such a calm and rational woman appear in his bedroom in the middle of the night, and in the way of his concubine
His mind gradually became clearer, and the initial ecstasy gradually faded away, replaced by doubts.
From when he learned that she was injured and expelled from the Southern Dynasty to when he found her, she followed him to the palace without any resistance, and then when she found out that she was pregnant, she was so afraid that she would lose her and Zongzheng Wuyou's child ...,-There were also several times when she wanted to talk to him alone, but was destroyed by Emperor Qiyun; then, he thought she had nowhere to go, and wanted to make a harem for her, but she refused; now, she pretends to be To be his concubine, lying on his bed...
Each of these things, individually, is very common, but what kind of problem does it explain when combined together
He is so smart, he seems to be rough and bold, but in fact he is thoughtful. But at this time, he suddenly felt that sometimes people are too smart, and it's not a good thing.
There are some things that he doesn't want to see clearly. For example, the fate with the woman in front of him.
At this moment, his heart was no longer surging when he first saw her. When his blood boiled to the highest point, he was poured down by his clear consciousness like a basin of ice water.
Ning Qianyi sat there stiffly, motionless, he still looked into her eyes fixedly, and the list under him was caught by his big hands at some point, wrinkled like a tangled and complicated thought . His eyes kept changing, the dark and dark eyes changed from dark to light and then from light to deep, as if he was struggling fiercely in his heart.
In just a short moment, his mood fluctuated violently, and she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. She frowned slightly, and wanted to repeat what she had just said, "Qianyi... just as she spoke, Ning Qianyi suddenly stretched out her long arms, leaned forward and slammed she hugged.
Such a sudden movement was unexpected, her face hit his strong shoulder, her nose hurt, she frowned and said nothing.
He hugged her vigorously, and she was already wrapped in blankets, but now she was held in his arms, unable to move. She could clearly feel the violent ups and downs of his chest, as well as the scorching breath he exhaled in her ears, all telling the strong forbearance in his heart at this moment.
She frowned, the sooner she could speak clearly, the better, after all, this was the purpose of her trip. No matter how he reacted, whether he was angry, angry, or disappointed, she could no longer hesitate. So, after thinking about the words I had prepared before, I chose my words carefully, "Qianyi, I came here this time to...
"I know." Before she could finish her sentence, Ning Qianyi cut it off... It wasn't like the bright and cheerful voice in the past, but a little hoarse and dull. There was no hope, only loneliness and sadness.
With his hand, he rubbed the silky long hair on her back, and rested his chin on her forehead, rubbing against her smooth and delicate skin. This is the only woman he loves with all his heart. The dream that was once difficult to touch is now in his arms, and he still can't hold it.
A blanket was between the two of them, and he could clearly feel the stiffness of her body. But he didn't say anything, just hugged her and didn't do anything else.
"You... know?" Man Yao was slightly surprised, he figured it out so quickly? Also, he is such a smart man!
"En." Ning Qianyi responded softly, but didn't speak for a long time after that.
Manyao stayed in his arms very quietly, although she felt uneasy in her heart, she didn't struggle, and she didn't rashly start...
She is waiting for him to calm down. She always believes that he is a modest gentleman with transcendent reason and will take care of the overall situation. No matter what happens, he can quickly figure it out. It's just that she couldn't see how hard the struggle was.
In the spacious big bed and the quiet space separated by curtains, they stayed quietly in an ambiguous embrace, neither moving nor speaking.
She couldn't see his changing expressions over her head.
From shock to joy, from joy to despair, and finally from loss to despair, he was just feeling the two extreme emotional changes by himself.
There are some facts that he should have thought of long ago, but he has been reluctant to think about them. Now, it is inevitable.
The rumors that she raised a male favorite are false; it is false that she self-harmed herself in despair;
Looking at the blurry black shadow reflected on the wall where eyes, nose and mouth could not be seen, he gradually calmed down. The mood after countless emotions have settled is loss and bitterness. But he didn't blame her, and he didn't want to blame others. In the end, the counterexample was full of gratitude and gratitude. For her, at least he still has a little value, which is better than having no intersection since then.
After a full stick of incense, Ning Qianyi raised his head and took a deep breath, then let out a long breath, then lowered his head slightly, and spoke in an affectionate tone never before, "I know you are not here Throwing myself into my arms. But, I want to hug you... I've thought about it for a long time. Thank you for giving me such a chance, so that my life... has no regrets."
His voice was full of bitterness, lingering with a touch of sweetness and satisfaction, which made people feel unspeakable sadness in their hearts.
He rubbed her hair on the sideburns. It turned out that the feeling of holding her... was so gratifying, making people unable to restrain themselves from feeling happy and sweet. Although he knew that without him in her heart, she would never belong to him.
His dream, even though it was still in his arms at the moment, was still just a dream.
Man Yao's heart ached, and tears filled her eyes uncontrollably. She suddenly felt, is she too selfish? From the moment she set up this strategy, she only thought about Wuyou, but never considered Ning Qianyi's feelings. In this way, she suddenly came to his realm, invisibly gave him hope, and then crushed that hope severely, leaving no room for it. Mm... did I do something wrong? But, who can tell her, is there a better way? She never thought of taking advantage of his feelings, she just wanted to get a chance, a chance to be alone with him for negotiation, to talk about a cooperation that would be beneficial to both parties.
"I'm sorry, Qianyi. I..." She tried to explain, but Ning Qianyi interrupted with a smile: "Liyue, there is no need to apologize. Just say what you want. I... will promise you!" It's the promise he made to her, whether it's now or in the future, this promise will always be valid.
He thought that he couldn't get rid of all the three thousand in the harem for her, which made him lose the chance to get her, which became the eternal unwillingness and regret in his heart. However, at this time, he was relieved. Because he finally understands that even if he dies for her, he still won't be able to win her heart. So, can he give up his heart from now on and be his country's Mingjun in peace? Instead of risking the country's collapse, it is better to do everything possible to help her and achieve her wishes. This way of fulfilling love with respect may be more suitable for him. But in this life, I have no regrets if I can get this hug.
He let her go slowly, looking at her face greedily, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance at this moment into his memory, so that he would never forget it.
"Thank you." She was so sincerely grateful to him. Ning Qianyi is the purest and most selfless emotion she has encountered in her two lifetimes.
Ning Qianyi smiled slightly, and returned to her usual hearty and unrestrained style, as if all things could be left behind with a wave of her sleeves, and the troubles could be left behind. He turned around, jumped off the bed, handed her the clothes on the low table, helped her pull the bed curtain, and then dressed with his back facing her.
Manyao looked at his back, unable to tell what it was like. Lowering your eyelids, you pick up your clothes and put them on quickly.
When she came to see him this time, although she knew that he would not hurt her, she never expected that he would agree to cooperate with Nan Chao so easily. And all the words she had prepared to persuade him were useless, and the conditions she was going to use to negotiate with him were all useless. He agreed so easily, just because she was her.
In this life, she owed it.
That night, the negotiations between the two countries were finalized in just a few words between the two of them. Ning Qianyi promised to give them all the elite war horses that were secretly trained in the west, and also promised to provide them with food in the future, and on behalf of her Nan Chao promised that the world would be settled in the future, and that Chenfeng Country would be kept intact, and it still belonged to him.
Everything is settled, it is already the fourth watch.
Ning Qianyi dismissed the guards and let her quietly leave his bedroom. In this silent late night, being in the same room with the woman he loves, how much self-control does he need to convince himself to let her go
Looking at the back of her leaving, he said to himself, that's it, just thinking about it silently in his heart is also a kind of happiness!
Manyao left Ning Qianyi's bedroom, avoided the patrolling guards, and rushed all the way to Qingyue Palace.
After a whole night of ups and downs, her emotions fluctuated, and now that the matter has been completed, she felt a little relieved, but she had been away for more than two hours, and Er Sha was assigned away again. Wuyou must be very worried about her, and she didn't know how to wait Will there be any trouble soon? She thought to herself, and soon arrived at the forest behind Qingyue Palace's bedroom.
The forest was not too big, but it was dark enough. The trees in the forest were dense and dense, and the moonlight could not shine in at all. Man Yao had just entered the forest path, only to feel the cold wind blowing towards his face, and there was a vague murderous aura around him. She was slightly startled, in this palace, who else is waiting here in the middle of the night to take her life? She slowed down slightly, pricked up her ears, and secretly focused on her guard.
Suddenly, an incomparably fierce force swept from behind her to her waist, as if it wanted to break her in two. She was horrified, she couldn't dodge in all directions, and all the escape routes seemed to be blocked. She frowned, and quickly jumped up, stepped on the tree trunk, turned over and jumped for more than ten feet. He glanced around, only to find that there was no one behind him. She was shocked, who actually attacked her just now? Why is there no half figure in this trowel? No matter how fast the speed is, it is impossible not to see a shadow. She frowned and touched her lower abdomen with her hand, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. Turning around in a circle, I really couldn't see anyone, and even the murderous look before was gone. Holding her heart, she walked forward slowly, and found that there was a light green smoke in the south of the forest, and a faint and almost inaudible strange fragrance wafted over. At first smell, it was refreshing. Man Yao knew that the fragrance must not be a good thing, so she quickly held her breath, but it was too late.
The headache, which she hadn't had for more than a year, came on suddenly and violently. The pain seemed to split her head open, and she was suddenly powerless. With a cry of "ah", she held her head in her hands, her body was unable to support herself, and she was about to fall down.
A tearing voice came from beside her ear: "Forget what you saw in your dream, and forget what you heard..." What did she see in her dream? what did she see She seemed to see a dilapidated courtyard. In the courtyard was a small blue stone tablet with three characters engraved on it. Which three characters were they? She didn't remember,-she also saw a man pinching her neck with his hands, tears were streaming from that man's eyes, his eyes were full of despair and sadness, but she couldn't see who he was...What did she hear? It seemed that someone called her name repeatedly, but she couldn't make out what he called her...
There are still many blurry scenes, blurry figures, and vague speech that cannot be heard clearly. Who is the person in front? What are they talking about? She was in a trance for a while, her eyes were dazed, and the blurry scenes in her mind became even more blurred, gradually fading away, almost disappearing completely. However, at this moment, a powerful arm suddenly wrapped around her waist just as she was about to fall to the ground, lifted her up, and held her in her arms.
