Fifty-third round

It wasn't until noon the next day that I saw Nan Chengyao again, he pushed open the door and entered with a cold breath. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

I looked at the tiredness and indifference in his eyes, and sighed lightly in my heart, it seems that Dong Ming's matter, he probably knows about it, and most of them have already guessed that it was what I did.

In fact, I already knew that it was impossible for me to hide it from him, all the things before, but it was just for others to see, after all, I was Nan Chengyao's princess, and I was going to commit a crime in the imperial court privately, so it was inevitable that he would not be able to explain, as for what he was going to do with me, I didn't let myself think about it.

He looked at me lightly and said casually: "I haven't seen you all night, does the princess have anything to say to me?"

I got up and bowed to him calmly and uprightly, without any concealment: "Your Highness, the concubine knows that this is really not right, but Dong Ming saved me after all, and I have no way to watch him ask for beheading." How His Royal Highness wants to punish him, the concubine will never complain. ”

When he heard me say this, the coldness in his eyes slowly faded, and after looking at me for a long time, he finally sighed gently: "So I said that the biggest weakness of the princess is that she attaches too much importance to affection." ”

I raised my eyes to look at him a little stunned, he smiled faintly, and stretched out his hand to pull me into his arms: "Okay, you have been too wronged, and now as long as you are by my side, it doesn't hurt to do what you think, even if something happens, there is nothing I can't afford." ”

My heart warmed slightly, but my reason was still not relaxed, and I cautiously opened my mouth to confirm: "Is Your Highness willing to let Dong Ming go?"

He smiled faintly: "The princess said that she was joking, Dong Ming had committed suicide in prison yesterday, how could he let this go." ”

He said so, although the heart that I have been hanging on cannot be completely let go, it has also settled down a lot.

In fact, there are doubts in my heart, his heart is ruthless, I know too well, he didn't answer me positively, therefore, I am not sure that he really let Dong Ming go, so he found such an excuse to the world, or has he already sent someone to chase him, and he will not leave a little hidden danger.

Just as he wanted to open his mouth to ask again, he smiled and tilted his head, and gave me a light kiss on the cheek: "This whole night, the princess's mind is on other men, but it really makes me sad, doesn't she miss me half a little?"

I rolled my eyes a little unnaturally: "Your Highness, stop playing tricks on your concubines." ”

He chuckled, wrenched my body with one hand, and crossed my eyebrows, eyes and lips with the other hand very slowly, and his voice was slightly hoarse and charming: "How can it be a joke, all night, I rode on horseback, but I didn't miss the princess for a moment......"

The words faded away, and finally disappeared into his deliberately lingering kiss.

I sighed in my heart and gave up the idea of asking, because I knew that if I continued to ask, there would be no results.

If a person like him does not want to lie, the best thing he can do is to be quietly perfunctory.

And I, too, would rather not have an answer than deceive.

After lunch, I looked at the slight green color in his eyes, although he was still undiminished, but there was a vaguely intelligible tiredness, so I gently persuaded him to go to the inner room for a while.

He may have been really tired, and he didn't want to distract me, so he got up and lay down on the inner room, and the "turning spirit" was still within reach.

I drooped my eyelashes, this man, even when he was asleep, was still alert and vigilant, in other words, he probably didn't have a moment of real rest.

Turning around and leaving the room, he gently opened the door for him.

I walked casually in the small garden of the Yecheng official office, and there was still snow, but I was covered with a thick fox fur, and I didn't feel cold.

At this time, I don't know where Dong Ming is, due to the urgency, I didn't have a way to prepare warm clothes for him, but only prepared silver taels, although it was enough, I don't know if he had a chance to use it.

There is also Shuying, I have not been worried about her for a moment, such a cold day, her body is the most unbearable cold, at this moment, she has winter clothes to keep warm, where is it? It has been so long, but still, there is no news.

I don't know how long it took, I watched the sky gradually darken, and I was about to go back to the room, but suddenly I heard an unfamiliar voice faintly coming from outside the garden: "It can be regarded as a good night's sleep, just for a little Dong Ming, it's really enough to toss." ”

I was startled, I heard his voice getting closer and closer, and subconsciously hid behind the snowy bushes, and just after hiding, I saw two people wearing armor walking in side by side.

I have seen those two people, although I can't name them, but I also know that they are Nan Chengyao's cronies and have followed them for many years.

"His Royal Highness said, the princess is kind, if she watched Dong Ming ask for a beheading, she would definitely be depressed for a long time, so she deliberately gave her a chance. But our third princess is not a simple character, I thought it would take a long time to guard the exit of the secret passage, but I didn't expect it to ......be so fast."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by another person: "Be quiet, Your Highness has instructed not to leak the slightest bit of tone." ”

The person who spoke originally laughed: "Come on, Zhao Mo, there is no figure here, and it has just been rotated, which of the guards outside is not your person, who dares to eavesdrop?" Even if he really listens, who dares to leak half a sentence?"

That Zhao Mo also seemed to feel that he was too careful, smiled, and said casually: "It's okay to be careful, I don't want my people to repeat the fate of those two prison servants-although they are abandoned pawns, they are innocent in the end." ”

The man before smiled and said: "Zhao Mo, when did you start to have the kindness of a woman? After following the palace for so long, don't you understand, if the Third Highness does something, once you do it, you will do it absolutely." Since he wanted the three princesses not to be merciful and self-harming, and he would definitely not let go of Dong Ming to lay any trouble in the future, he could only do this trick. And if you want to do it seamlessly, and don't let the princess leave any truth that the court wants to commit privately, the most foolproof way is to extinguish the mouth. Besides, those two are not a good thing, otherwise how could they be deliberately arranged to be on an errand last night?"

Zhao Mo smiled: "I naturally know, just talk about it." But after following His Royal Highness for so long, I really haven't seen him bother with any woman, in the end, it is the princess, it is different-but since he ordered us not to leak his mouth, he is naturally afraid that the princess will know, so it seems that it is not all because of her identity as the prime minister's daughter. You say, Your Highness won't really fall in love with the princess, will you?"

The man thought about it before he said: "Now it seems that it is not easy to say that you are in love, but it is certain that you care, otherwise it would be so difficult to do anything." Actually, I'd rather he could fall in love with the princess, or any woman, as long as he can get out of the shadow of the princess—"

"Ouyang Xian!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Mo sharply, maybe this name was really taboo, then Ouyang Xian suddenly woke up and was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, I heard Ouyang Xian's voice faintly coming from the end of the garden: "...... Your Highness once upon a time...... Now look at him like this...... Won't you feel bad...... If there is no maple forest...... What happened to the White Tiger...... Maybe ......"

I watched as the two of them disappeared through the door on the other side of the garden, and the sound faded into obscurity.

I remained in the position of hiding behind the bushes, motionless.

I don't know how long it took, but when I finally stood up, I realized that my knees were sore, and the sky had darkened unconsciously.

A star, suddenly across the sky, dazzling light is fleeting.

I remembered what Su Xiumian once said, everyone has their own corresponding astrology, starfall, and death.

So, what I saw just now is the star that belongs to Dong Ming?

Cutting grass without eradicating the roots has never been what Nan Chengyao did, I already knew it.

A person like him will definitely not disrupt his plan for anyone, let alone bury hidden dangers for himself, so he will not let Dong Ming go because of me, I know.

Now, he can do this, it took so much painstaking work, just to make me feel better, no burden, no longer sympathetic to self-harm, it is beyond my expectations.

didn't expect that his compassion and self-inflicted cleverness not only couldn't save Dong Ming, but also affected two innocent people.

I closed my eyes slightly, my chest ached dullly, a pair of hands, but I gently hugged my shoulders from behind, and I heard Nan Chengyao's voice faintly ringing in my ears-

"Why is it here alone?"

I turned around and crashed into the depths of his dark eyes, a faint soft light.

I wanted to smile, but I couldn't.

I knew that the sorrow between my brows at this moment would not escape his eyes, and that if I did not say anything, it would lead him to suspicion.

So I took him by the hand of my hand, and let myself lean into his arms, and I listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and then heard my own voice whisper—

"I'm worried about Shuying, Your Highness, I'm really worried about her. ”

I felt his arms tighten around me, and I buried my face in his arms, tears hiding in my eyelashes.

He doesn't want me to know, so I don't know.
