The men of the Murong family are all outstanding in appearance, but compared with the person in front of them, even the most outstanding ones are inferior. The kind of demeanor on Nan Chengyao's body, just one glance, is enough to make people unforgettable.

I watched him approach step by step, and I had to admit that he had a handsome face, the lines between his eyebrows and eyes were the light of the cold moon, and the slight smile on his lips was always careless, as if there were no more people and things worthy of his attention between heaven and earth.

It's just that this person has a pair of eyes that the more he smiles, the more indifferent he becomes.

I don't know if it's because I heard that past from my mother's mouth during the day, and my heart felt an imperceptible pain.

"Enough after listening for so long. I noticed that the smile on his lips froze slightly for a moment when he met my gaze, and then it was an inconsequential arc, and his low, magnetic voice sounded lazily again: "May I ask how much you heard?"

"All. My body couldn't move, but my eyes didn't dodge his cold gaze, word by word, and said lightly: "I heard that you have had too much contact with the concubines in the palace, and I heard that someone has drugged the imperial diet of the saint today." ”

His dark eyes were unfathomable, as if they were slightly vibrating, and as if they were surprised and murderous, they disappeared in a flash. After a long time, he spoke again, his voice was still lazy, with a smile: "Very frank and courageous." ”

I lowered my eyes, smiled lightly, and said helplessly: "Did I say I didn't hear anything from you?" I said I didn't understand anything, do you believe it? I came here first, and I wanted to avoid it, but you didn't give me this chance." ”

The smile on Nan Chengyao's lips was full of interest, but the smile was far from reaching the bottom of his eyes. He smiled and said, "It's funny. It's just that there are some things that you know when you know them, no matter how you know them. ”

With a flick of his hand, he unlocked my acupoint, and his voice was light in the wind: "It's just a pity that I have such a beautiful pair of eyes." ”

Before the words fell, the extra long sword in his hand was already pointed at the center of my eyebrows.

He was moving so fast that I didn't have time to react at all. After the initial inevitable panic, I quickly glanced at his sword-wielding posture, and my heart was cold, and I already knew that there was no chance of victory. So he simply gave up the idea of escaping, and the whole person gradually calmed down.

He looked at me with interest, with a bit of lazy regret on his face: "Such a clever and wonderful man, it's a pity that I can't keep it, and I will have a lot less fun in the future." ”

Before I could speak, I heard a distant voice: "Miss, Miss, where are you?"

Nan Chengyao's eyes dimmed, and he said lightly: "Murong Qing?"

It was obviously a question, but the calm expression on his face didn't need me to answer at all.

I groaned slightly, looked directly into his warm eyes, bowed down, and saluted elegantly: "Yes." Qing'er has seen His Highness. ”

As I expected, his eyes suddenly turned cold, but the smile on his lips was still high. He spoke, his voice still nonchalant: "Oh, do you know who I am?"

I smiled faintly: "I heard that His Royal Highness plays a good flute, Murong Qing is fortunate to smell it today." ”

"And then, I don't think you can be so sure just by the sound of the flute. ”

Seeing that Shuying's figure was getting closer and closer, I was slightly anxious in my heart, and I couldn't care about anything else, I took a deep breath, and then said word by word: "People who can enter and leave the Bauhinia Palace at will, and have a great friendship with the concubines in the palace, and those who dare to behave in the Three Kings' Mansion, I am afraid that only His Highness himself." Coupled with the innate luxury and arrogance, you can't deceive people. Your Highness, Murong Qing has no intention of offending, and is willing to be punished by His Highness. It's just that Qing'er's maidservant is innocent, and she asks Her Highness to raise her noble hand, which has nothing to do with her. ”

I didn't want to die, but I knew exactly what I was in.

The person in front of him can personally force the person he loves to death, such a woman who is unparalleled in the world.

is obviously the most beloved prince in the eyes of the world, but he secretly has an affair with his father's concubine, and even drugged the imperial diet.

So let's ask, in this world, what else is there that he can't do.

I chose to say everything without reservation, just to show that I saw the situation through and to convince him that I would not go to the point of divulging his secrets to my death.

This is a gamble, betting on his pride and self-confidence as a king, but betting on my life and Shuying's life.

I knew the odds were slim, but it was my only chance.

Nan Chengyao's long sword never left his hand, the smile on his lips deepened, and he was about to speak, when he screamed, accompanied by a slender blue shadow, and rushed straight over.

The lantern in Shuying's hand fell to the ground, she hugged me nervously, and looked at Nan Chengyao: "Who are you? Do you know, do you know that this is the Three Kings' Mansion? You, if you don't leave, I'm going to call someone!"

I sighed slightly in my heart, in the end, I still involved her, and quietly protected her behind me, I smiled slightly, trying to make my voice sound peaceful and peaceful: "Shuying, don't be rude, this is Your Highness, don't salute quickly." ”

Shu Ying was obviously taken aback, her body was already shaking, but she still insisted on opening her mouth to Nan Chengyao again: "Your Highness, you, no, you can't hurt my young lady." She, she is Prime Minister Murong's daughter. You hurt her, what, how can you explain to the prime minister?"

"Oh, her concerns are justified, what do you say?" Still smiling lazily, Nam Seung-yao asked as he looked me in the eye.

I smiled faintly: "Qing'er is blessed, just after arriving at the palace, he contracted a vicious disease, and he couldn't afford to get sick." His Royal Highness has healed in many ways, but he still lacks the ability to return to heaven. Or, under the sword of a group of assassins who attacked the palace at night, Qing'er unfortunately became a ghost. Or, a random white tiger in this maple forest can kill people. There are too many reasons for that. The father knew that His Highness had no motive to kill his daughter, and besides, His Highness was still serving the Emperor in the palace at the time of the incident. Even if my father had doubts, he would never act rashly. And His Royal Highness's beautiful funeral of Qing'er will also give the Murong family face. ”

"Little, Miss!" Shuying was shocked and frightened, obviously not expecting me to say such a thing.

And I couldn't be distracted to comfort her, and looked at Nan Chengyao without blinking.

The sword in his hand was not loosened, his lips gradually smiled, and after a pause, he said lightly: "You just said that there is a white tiger in the forest?"

I didn't know why, his words were flat, but I had a gut feeling that there must be something important in it, but for a moment, I couldn't figure it out. I had to say with some caution: "This maple forest is far away and dense, and it is not impossible for His Highness to keep beasts in captivity for the pleasure of hunting. Fang Cai Qing'er didn't think much about it, but just intuitively said, if there is anything offended, please forgive Your Highness. ”

There was a smile on his lips again, as if he was slightly self-deprecating, and the gesture of holding the sword seemed to loosen somewhat.

I just breathed a sigh of relief, but Shuying suddenly had a surge of courage out of nowhere, suddenly stopped in front of me, and said without hesitation: "If His Highness is bound to take people's lives, Shuying will accept it on his behalf, and please spare my young lady!"

Between the lightning and flint light, I only saw the light of the long sword in Nan Chengyao's hand flashing, and in the next second, Shuying had fallen to the ground heavily.

Her chest was bleeding profusely.

Nan Chengyao put the sword back into the sheath and smiled casually: "As Qing wants." ”

"You, how can you, she doesn't know anything at all!"

In the face of this sudden change, my chest suddenly ached, and for a moment, I felt that my mind was blank and I couldn't think at all.

I closed my eyes fiercely, my fingers clenched into fists, and the pain of my nails embedded in my palms made me gradually wake up.

Taking a deep breath, not daring to hesitate any longer, I quickly untied the white cloak on my body and spread it on the ground, carefully moved the shadow over, and untied her dress to check the injury.

Her fair and delicate skin was exposed to the slightly cool air, and Nan Chengyao's lazy voice sounded carelessly behind her: "Aren't all women very chaste? ”

A faint smile appeared on my lips, and I carefully pulled Shuying's clothes well, and then got up and looked directly into Nan Chengyao's eyes: "I can't save my life, what do I want to do with this chaste false name?" Your Highness, Shuying's injury must be healed immediately, I can't carry her back to her residence without touching the wound. ”

He smiled: "The implication is that you want me to do it for you, but you forgot that I gave her her injury." ”

"Your Highness, I don't have time to play pantomime with you. Your swordsmanship is wonderful, it can make her hurt her heart and lungs, and she will faint in an instant, but it is not fatal, and she can still return to heaven. You're doing this just to give me a warning. ”

Nam Seung-yao looked at me with interest and didn't speak, knowing that he was waiting for me to continue.

After stabilizing my mood a little, I continued calmly in my usual light tone: "Your Highness, Murong Qing promises that I will rest in the room very early tonight as usual, and I don't want to encounter a night attack by assassins. Shuying was injured in order to protect the master, but fortunately, the guards in the palace heard the sound and saved us. That's all there is to the matter, that's it. ”

Seeing that Nan Chengyao was still smiling silently, I was anxious and helpless, and my tone was unconsciously a little sharp: "Your Highness, now that Qing'er has married into the palace, no matter what fortune or misfortune she has, she is destined to share it with Her Royal Highness. The macaques are scattered when the trees fall down, and there are no eggs under the nest? So, I beg you to send Shuying back to her room. Her body was once greatly damaged, and if there was too much blood, I was afraid that she would really not be able to save it. ”

Nan Chengyao looked at me for a long time, and finally smiled: "I hope you won't let me down." ”
