Fifty-first

The coals in the house burned with a "crackling" sound, the collapse was warm, I leaned on Nan Chengyao's warm and resolute arms, the bodies of the two people fit closely, I listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and suddenly, the wind and snow and cold whistling outside the window seemed to be isolated in another world. โˆฎ Yan Moxuan โˆฎ ad-free โˆฎ

He smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "So, at that time, I didn't dare to look at you at all, because maybe as long as I glanced, I would be soft-hearted, and then agree to Dong Di's conditions, so that you can come to me intact." โ€

I leaned quietly in his arms and replied softly: "The concubine is already intact by the palace." โ€

He didn't speak, but silently put my bandaged hand to his lips and lightly imprinted a kiss on the wounded part of his hand.

Then, his voice sounded again, with relief and promise: "There will be no next time, I promise." โ€

My heart softened little by little, and I was just about to say something, but I heard a voice from afar: "Second sister, the yam porridge is ready-"

Before he could finish speaking, he strode to my bedside with a large bowl full of yam porridge.

I glanced at the porridge in the bowl and couldn't help but look at him amusedly: "There are so many, I can't finish it." โ€

He raised his eyebrows: "You have to eat it if you can't finish it, I personally guarded them and cooked it with my own hands, you have to eat it all anyway!"

I laughed, thinking that he had never even entered the kitchen door since he was a child, and that he had never done such a thing. I looked at the red blood in his eyes that were as dense as Nan Chengyao's, and couldn't help but say, "Why do you have to go to these things in person, just leave them to Shuying." โ€

His face was a little unnatural, but in the blink of an eye, he smiled again: "Isn't it good to have me serve you?"

My heart sank, although he tried his best to cover it up, but in the end he was not good at hypocrisy, he took a sip of yam porridge with the spoon in his hand, and I said quietly: "What about Shuying, why don't you see her?"

The hand holding the spoon stiffened, lowered my eyes and remained silent, and I became more and more uneasy in my heart: "What happened to her?"

Nan Chengyao hugged my hand and tightened it slightly, and then said: "I don't want to hide it from you, she is not in Dong Ji Commercial Bank, I have already sent someone to find it, you don't have to worry." โ€

I closed my eyes slightly, opened them again, and looked at him pleading and said: "Your Highness, Shuying has followed me since she was a child, and in the heart of the concubine, just like a sister, please Your Highness must find her for the sake of the concubine." โ€

He nodded: "Don't worry." โ€

I don't know why, with his promise, my heart was strangely slightly relaxed, and I was about to open my mouth to thank you, but Qin Zhao's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Highness, the military intelligence is playing." โ€

Nan Chengyao didn't shy away from me, and said lightly: "Speak." โ€

"Zhao Mo led people to chase Dong Ming near the Hanhai Desert, and he has been detained in Yecheng Prison, what to do, please ask His Highness to show me. โ€

Suddenly, I felt very stuffy in my chest, and I felt a little out of breath, Nan Chengyao let go of the hand holding me, and wanted to help me lie down on the bed, I reached out to support his arm, and said softly but persistently: "Your Highness, just say it here." After all, the Dong family has had too much to do with me, and I think I should know. โ€

In fact, this is a boulder that I have been sinking in my heart since I woke up, I wanted to ask several times, but I endured it, and now, I suddenly heard that Dong Ming was not dead, and the slightest relaxation was too late to unfold, but the news of his arrest and imprisonment followed.

Nan Chengyao looked at me for a long time, and finally sighed softly that was almost inaudible, and then he said to Qin Zhao outside the screen: "Don't touch him yet, I'll try it myself." โ€

Qin Zhao replied "yes", and then asked again: "Then what should Chen San do?"

Nan Chengyao asked lightly: "Dong Ming's whereabouts were not revealed by him, right?"

"It's not. โ€

"He still doesn't have the slightest requirement?"

"Nope. โ€

Nan Chengyao smiled dispensably: "He's a rare talent, it's just a pity." โ€

The one on the other side was holding a bowl of porridge and looked at him fixedly: "What does Your Highness mean, kill?"

Nan Chengyao still smiled casually, but his eyes were indifferent: "If you can't give it up, if you become a big thing, you should put it away freely." โ€

I know that there is nothing wrong with him doing this, since he can't take it for his own use, and he is destined to be opposed, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

However, understanding is one thing, and I still can't suppress a slight chill in my heart.

Nan Chengyao reached out and took a pillow, gently helped me lean on it, and then said, "Let Yu stay here with you, and I'll come with Qin Zhao." โ€

I looked at him and nodded slightly, then watched his back disappear from the screen.

"Second sister, drink the porridge while it's hot. As he spoke, he scooped another spoonful to my lips.

I looked at the faint cyan color under his eyes and the dense red blood in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "You have consumed a lot of energy when you return from the march, and you have guarded me for a day and a night, and your body is afraid that it will be unbearable, just call a maid, you go and rest for a while." And on His Highness's side, you also sent someone to talk to him, don't be too tired. โ€

"I'm nothing, as for Nan Chengyao, you don't have to feel sorry," Xiao's eyebrows turned cold: "He owes you!"

I frowned slightly, such a reckless and open-mouthed, and born in an official family like the Prime Minister's Mansion, sooner or later one day he will suffer: "Xiao, you are not a child anymore, can you call the name of the Third Highness?"

There was anger in his eyes: "He dares to leave you in this Yecheng as bait to lure Dong Lao thief, I can't even call him by name?"

I sighed slightly: "Your Highness will do this, it must be done with all the arrangements, isn't it okay now?"

The anger in his eyes eased slightly, and he opened his mouth a little reluctantly: "If it weren't for the fact that he really cares about you, do you think I would just forget it?"

I took another sip of porridge with the spoon in his hand, and did not speak.

While feeding me, he continued to speak: "We couldn't attack for a long time that day, and you were taken away again, and no one knows what will happen." At that time, it was the Third Highness who braved the rain of arrows and flew up to the city tower, and the sword came out with a "turning spirit", but one move took the life of Dong Lao Thief. โ€

Even though he was extremely dissatisfied with Nan Chengyao, but when he said this, he still had some admiration and yearning on his face, maybe he himself noticed it, smiled a little embarrassedly, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and fed me, and then continued-

"As soon as the old thief Dong died, the defenders of Yecheng will be defeated, we will capture Yecheng, and we will immediately go to find you, for fear of hurting you by mistake, His Royal Highness issued a strict order that no soldiers should hurt people under any circumstances in Yecheng. He asked me and Qin Zhao, Zhao Mo, and Ouyang Xian to take people out of Yecheng to find you in different directions, and he himself rushed to Dong Ji Commercial Bank. Later, I got the news that you were fine, so I came back with my troops, and when I arrived at the trading house, he had already ordered the destruction of the Dong family. โ€

At the bottom of my heart, I was stagnant and did not speak.

And he didn't notice my abnormality, and still fed me porridge while talking to himself: "Later, you fell unconscious, no matter what method you used, it didn't work, so we kept watching, and now that I think about it, the life of those two military doctors is really difficult." If I hadn't found anyone else, I would have eaten them alive a long time ago!" The Third Highness didn't say a word, but that gloomy appearance made me shudder when I saw it, and it was no wonder that those two military doctors looked trembling every time they reported your condition. โ€

As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile, but I couldn't laugh at all, hesitated for a moment, and still said with some hesitation: "Dong's ......"

"Except for Dong Ming, who was desperately escorted by Chen San, a slave of the Dong family, and His Royal Highness wanted to recover Dong Ming, who temporarily left Chen San's life, no one else in the Dong Mansion was left alive. โ€

He spoke simply, without a trace of hesitation.

Seeing that I was silent, he sighed: "The Third Highness has already said early in the morning that if they dare to hurt you, it will be necessary for the Dong family and nine clans to be wiped out, don't you still know what kind of person your husband is? โ€

He scooped another spoonful of porridge and fed it to me, but I couldn't eat it anymore, he saw this, but didn't force me anymore, put the porridge bowl, got up and looked out the window and opened his mouth, there was a rare sigh and silence in his voice-

"Second sister, I know that you are kind and kind, but this world is like this, there is only victory or defeat, whether it is right or wrong. Who is innocent? Who is wronged? Even heaven cannot arbitrate. You don't want to take all the responsibility on yourself, the Dong family was destroyed, of course, because they hurt you, but Dong Di's rebellion is an ironclad fact, according to the routine, the nine clans should be punished, and the Third Highness did not do it half a point. As a prince, it is necessary for him to assert his authority and authority. โ€

He turned his head to look at me: "Besides, the people who keep the Dong family can certainly make some trouble, but if they want to bring down the East Palace, how can they do it overnight." Since Dong Di is dead, the remaining people are not enough to make the Third Highness succeed in one fell swoop, so he will definitely not startle the snake, why bother to save the lives of these people who hate him, let people chew their tongues, spread ten, ten to hundred, and have a bad reputation among the people?"

I never thought that Tong would say such a thing, and for a moment, I could only look at his handsome face in a little stunned, and I couldn't say a word.

I naturally know that he is very smart, but he has always been reluctant to get involved in the affairs of the court, and for this, I don't know how much my father and mother have hurt their brains.

This time he went out with Nan Chengyao, even though Nan Chengyao did not avoid taboos to guard against him, but in the end the time was too short, but he was able to clearly see through everything in such a short period of time, and the unspeakable secret twists and turns, but I didn't expect it.

He glanced at my expression, turned his eyes to look out the window again, and spoke loudly, with a frank and faintly proud eyebrow: "My father always asked me to enter the court as an official, but I always refused, in fact, I don't understand these intrigues and disdain them." โ€
