Nangong Lizhu!

The name made my breath freeze for a moment.

In fact, since the chaos in the imperial city, she was taken away by Nangong Jinhong, to my abduction by Pei Yuanxiu in Gantang Village, so many things have happened for such a long time, if it weren't for the thought that she must still be in Jinling Mansion, I would almost have no time to take care of her, but once I arrived here, the first thing I thought of and wanted to see was her.

However, of course, this matter is not that simple.

I can guess what an embarrassing position she is in in Jinling Mansion, a dangerous environment, even if there is Nangong Jinhong's storage zài to protect her, but with the heart of the Han sisters, she will definitely not give her a good life.

And now, Han Ruoshi mentioned her here again, as if she wanted me to see her?

I hesitated, and I didn't say anything immediately, but the hand holding the bamboo branch moved slightly, and the bamboo leaves that were originally blocking me rustled, shaking off a lot of dew condensed on it.

Han Ruoshi's gaze glanced over here, but the dense branches and foliage of the bamboo forest in front of her blocked her vision, and her gaze only stopped for a moment.

Then, a smile crossed his lips.

She said to the two girls, "Just this sentence, if you are free, bring this sentence to Miss Yan." ”

After speaking, he shook his sleeves and turned to leave.

The maids were actually still a little apprehensive, and when they saw that their master was gone, they immediately snorted coldly, put on a high-spirited look, like a victorious rooster, and swaggered away.

It wasn't until their backs disappeared on the bridge that I slowly walked out of the bamboo forest.

When the two girls heard my footsteps, they immediately turned around: "Miss Yan? ”

I smiled and said, "Thank you two for blocking Madame's drive for me." ”

The two of them glanced at each other and said calmly: "We are just acting on orders, Miss Yan doesn't need to thank us." ”

One of the girls stepped forward again: "By the way, just-"

"Mrs. Pei asked you to bring me a message, right?" I laughed, "I happened to walk over and I heard it." ”

"Oh."

"There is some truth in her words, I want to go and see what that Nangong Lizhu looks like now in Jinling Mansion."

“……”

"Where is she? I want to check it out. ”

The two of them looked at each other again, but did not speak.

I looked at the two of them with a smile: "Why, no one is allowed to enter here, and no one is allowed to come out?" ”

“……”

"It turns out that I don't live here, I'm locked up here."

“……”

"Then you are not here to take care of me, but to guard me?"

The girl hurriedly said, "No, we don't mean to restrict Miss Yan's actions. ”

"Oh?"

"It's just that the son and the master have explained, and I hope Miss Yan won't wander around. The situation is unstable, and I am worried that Miss Yan will be harmed. ”

“……”

I raised an eyebrow.

This is the second time I've heard the word "current situation" mentioned in these days.

Moreover, it is not much bigger than the wonderful words, two little girls who are like flowers.

Such words, if they come out of the mouths of Pei Yuanxiu and Pei Yuanhao, although they are strict, they don't make people feel weird, but when they come out of the mouths of the two little girls, they can make people feel the strictness of the situation.

I paused for a moment, then smiled: "I don't go out to hang out, but I just walk around this Jinling Mansion." Could it be that Nangong Lizhu lives outside? ”

The two of them looked at each other, but did not speak.

I raised an eyebrow: "Do you really live outside?" ”

One of the girls said, "Not far away, just to the west of our house, only separated by a wall, and the door leads to the door." ”

"Oh......" I dragged out my voice and nodded, "In that case, it's no different from being in this mansion." ”

“……”

"With the skills of the two of you, come with me, there will be no accidents."

“……”

"I don't want to make myself miserable."

“……”

"After all, I'm not really a prisoner, am I?"

The two of them are young at all, probably because neither Pei Yuanxiu nor Xie Feng really explained that they treated me as a prisoner, and Cheng Dù's freedom would still be given to me, so after hesitating for a while, a girl nodded and said, "Okay then." ”

“……”

"However, we can't go for too long, just check it out and come back."

I laughed and said, "Okay." ”

|

The two of them went out with me until we reached the westernmost part of the house, where we saw a long, barely visible wall, closed by a small corner door, and two guards standing.

As soon as they saw us approaching, the two guards immediately approached.

"Miss Yan? Where are you going? ”

"I want to go out and have a look."

They frowned, and the two girls who followed me said, "Childe and Master have both instructed that as long as we follow, Miss Yan can relax around here." ”

The guard hesitated, then said, "Then you have to—keep up." ”

"Hmm."

With this explanation, the two guards retreated and opened the door.

I smiled and nodded to them, and then walked out of the door, outside which was a narrow alley, which was also far in sight, and there were no pedestrians passing by in the alley, it was very quiet, except for the rustling sound of the fallen leaves in the corner of the wall in the cool breeze.

On the other side of the alley is another long row of gray walls.

A small corner door is also facing us.

It seems that this is what they are talking about, where Nangong Lizhu lives.

A young girl walked over and knocked on the door.

I stood in the alley, felt the cool breeze, and muttered in my heart, but I figured out something - Nangong Jinhong came to Jinling with Nangong Lizhu, and naturally came to meet Pei Yuanxiu, but at that time, Yao Lao was still there, in order not to arouse his suspicion, of course Pei Yuanxiu would not let them blatantly live in Jinling Mansion; Besides, when Han Zitong saw me for the first time, she wanted to kill me for her sister, and with the appearance of Nangong Lizhu, it was impossible for these two sisters to be hostile and settle in this place, which was very suitable.

Just as I was thinking, the door on the opposite side opened, and a little girl came out, and after saying a few words to the girl, she welcomed us.

As soon as I entered the small door, I felt that my eyes suddenly opened up again.

This is a very delicate mansion, and the garden is also very beautifully built, but it is not popular, the winding path is empty, and there are a lot of fallen leaves floating on the pond, showing a bit of loneliness.

Nangong Lizhu lives here?

I walked in slowly, and in a few moments I came to a courtyard.

Here, as outside, it was almost silent, and the sound of the wind blowing through the withered yellow leaves in the flower beds made it seem more and more silent.

I couldn't help frowning-Nangong Lizhu, just living here?

I am not familiar with her, although I have fought so many times and fought for all these years, but in fact, I don't know what she is like as a person, it's just that a peerless beauty lives in such a quiet place, which makes people feel a little bit of a gap.

With such doubts, I stepped forward, and as soon as I reached the bottom of the steps, the little girl whispered, "Miss Yan, let them accompany you in." ”

I glanced back at her, "What, you're still not at ease with me?" ”

The little girl hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that I'm not worried about you, but—"

She stopped talking, and looked at the room with the doors and windows closed, and there was a faint worry in her eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I'm worried that I'll hurt you." ”

“……”

This sentence made me stunned, and then recalled that Han Ruoshi deliberately mentioned the intention of letting me meet Nangong Lizhu just now, I faintly felt something in my heart, and as soon as the two girls heard her words, they immediately said: "In this case, then we should go in with Miss Yan, right?" ”

I smiled a little and said, "Don't be so nervous, it's not some kind of beast, right?" ”

"But—"

"You're in this courtyard, and if there's anything really wrong, I'll just let you in at once."

“……”

"Don't worry."

The two of them were obviously still a little hesitant, but I was still convinced, so they stayed in the courtyard, and when I walked up the steps to the door, I looked back at them again - although these two girls are extraordinary, they are obviously still very simple-minded, not so much intrigue, let alone snooping on people, just guarding their duty and protecting me, so I smiled at them again, said that they don't have to worry, and then pushed the door and walked in.

Inside, is a sizable, beautifully ornate room.

However, there are not many furnishings.

Even, you can see that there are some potholes on the wall, as if they have been smashed by something, and there are more than one place, as if someone has made a lot of movement here and left those traces.

I walked in step by step, all the way to the table, and then I heard a sudden heavy breathing on the other side of the room.

I turned my head and saw a familiar, beautiful figure through a beaded curtain in the center of the room.

Nangong Lizhu, she was sitting on a beautiful little bed, facing me sideways.

The pupils of the autumn water have seen me.

I could clearly feel that her thin body trembled slightly the moment she saw me, but instead of immediately turning to face me, she froze there, as if something unbearable was pressing her breathing and heartbeat, and I could clearly feel her shoulders twitching slightly.

Just when I was facing her like this, neither of us saying a word, and the atmosphere was tense as if it was about to break, she suddenly reached out, picked up an incense burner by the bed, and threw it at me.

I didn't move, and the censer hit my feet, and with a thud, a small hole was smashed into the floor.

The incense burner rolled into the corner.

The people outside naturally heard this loud noise, and immediately there was a rush of footsteps, and the two girls pushed open the door and broke in, and hurriedly ran in front of me: "Miss Yan! ”

"What's wrong? Are you hurt? ”

“……”

I stood there motionless, looking at Nangong Lizhu's panting appearance through the constantly shaking bead curtain, and I didn't care that there were still people standing next to me, so I sneered and said, "What are you doing?" You think this strength can hurt me? Or do you think that now is still the time for you to be favored and dominated? ”

“……”

"Nangong Lizhu, don't think you're still in the harem, or the concubine Niangniang who is above 10,000 people under one person."

“……”

"You're really nothing here."

When I said these words, I could feel that the two girls around me were originally anxious and nervous, and they all looked at me in surprise at this time, probably didn't expect me to speak like this, and Nangong Lizhu's eyes were about to burst into flames, she stared at me deadly, gritted her teeth and said: "Yan Qingqing, you still dare to come, do you believe that I want your life!" ”

"I don't believe it."

“……”

"I said, this is not a harem, you are here, you can't do anything."

After being surprised, the two girls were a little stunned, but they were very dutifully protecting me in front of me, for fear that Nangong Lizhu would really rush out and do something to me, but she just sat on the bed, panting, but she didn't really do it. I sneered, and then said to the two of them, "It's okay, you guys go out, let me talk to her—have a good talk." ”

For the last few words, I turned up the pitch in a special way.

The two of them looked at me and were a little worried: "But-"

"Don't worry, haven't you seen it yet? She's just a strong outsider. ”

“……”

"She can't touch me."

“……”

"If she wants to move me, she also has to think about the consequences of moving me."

The two girls looked at each other, and then looked back at Nangong Lizhu, and indeed saw that she didn't really want to rush out and fight with me, it seemed that she was really as I said, she was a strong person in the middle, so she hesitated for a moment, and then slowly retreated.

When they were gone, I looked up at her again.

The woman on the other side of the curtain also looked much calmer than before, but she just moved her hand, which made her a little out of breath and seemed to be very weak.

I lowered my voice: "Are you okay?" ”

Of course, I know that those two girls will not listen to the corner, but since Han Ruoshi wants me to come over and "meet" her, I am afraid that there are not a few of her eyeliners nearby, so I naturally have to be cautious.

Hearing my greeting, I heard Nangong Lizhu let out a low, sneering gasp.

Then, slowly, she stood up and walked over step by step, until she reached the opposite side of the curtain.

The dangling beaded curtain between us allowed me to see her clearly, but I couldn't see her clearly.

And she stretched out her hand and slowly opened the curtain a little, and those bright eyes looked at me, almost godless, and seemed to cry: "You see me like this, is it okay?" ”
