"He's your father. ”

Although I was hesitant before, I said this sentence quickly, and in the blink of an eye, I put the answer to this puzzle in front of Nangong Lizhu.

And Nangong Lizhu stopped breathing all of a sudden.

She stared at me with wide eyes, "What did you say?"

At this moment, she was already a little uncontrollable, and her voice was a little louder than when she spoke in her throat just now, I suspected that the people outside could already hear what she said, so she immediately frowned, lowered her voice and said, "Nangong Lizhu, don't you first-"

"What did you say?!"

She couldn't listen to me at all, and shouted again, this time even louder than just now, and even stood up to grab my hand without a moment's desire, I subconsciously took a few steps back, and she followed closely, but with one foot on the beads that had just been pulled from her and scattered all over the ground, and suddenly a center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground.

This fall, and grabbed the corner of the table on the side, and the things on it crackled and fell.

As soon as the sound in the house sounded, the people outside naturally couldn't hold it back, and they heard a bang behind them, the door was pushed open, and the two girls rushed in again: "Miss Yan, what's wrong-"

Only halfway through their words, they saw Nangong Lizhu fall to the ground, and I stood there unharmed.

Suddenly, I was stunned.

When I turned my head to see them, I looked at the door again, and sure enough, I saw one or two figures shaking in the corner outside.

I immediately turned my head and sneered at Nangong Lizhu, who had fallen to the ground, already at a loss, and tearful eyes, and said, "What's the use of you asking these things now? Nangong Lizhu, if you hadn't done so many bad things at the beginning, would there be such an ending today? If you want me to say that your situation today is the result of your own own fault!"

She looked up at me, tears streaming down her face, wolf bèi unbearable.

I frowned vigorously at her.

She shuddered as if she had been woken up by me all at once.

I slowly walked up to her, squatted down, reached out and pinched her chin to make her look up at me, I could feel her whole body was very excited, and trembling violently, the hand I pinched her chin with a little more force, as if I wanted to pass my meaning to her through those two fingers, and said with a sneer: "Look at the way you look now, tsk, it's so pitiful." ”

The two girls stood behind me stupidly, there was a crackling noise in the room just now, they must have been worried that I would have some accident to break in, but I didn't expect to come in but saw this scene, and I was a little at a loss for a while.

"It's really pear blossoms and rain crying, you, it's just this face that makes so many people fascinated by you, right?"

“……”

"Now, do you still have the ability to do that?"

Nangong Lizhu could only keep gasping and crying, and she couldn't make any reaction, but fortunately, the two girls were also interested, and she silently retreated and closed the door.

I held my breath and listened to the silence outside, before I looked down at her.

That originally beautiful face was flooded with tears, and when I pinched it in my hand, it was so fragile that it really seemed to shatter if I touched it.

I said, "You-"

Her voice was a little hoarse, but at this time she regained her senses, lowered her voice and asked me softly, "Is what you said true?

I glanced at the old scars on her wrists and nodded slightly.

Her breathing became more and more disordered, and she muttered to herself, "He, he's my father?

“……”

"How could he be my father?"

“……”

"I'm — "

As she said this, her eyes were visibly flustered, and she raised her head to look at me: "Yan Qingqing, what the hell is going on? If he is my father, then wouldn't my mother-"

“……”

"What the hell is going on, and why do you know that?"

“……”

"You sue me!"

I didn't answer her immediately, but looked at her eyes, which were a little red from excitement, and fell silent.

I know that a woman like her can't afford to take too much of a blow, and just now I told her about Yao Lao, which made her so excited that she became like that, if I told her about Queen Yin again, I was afraid that some things in the palace would not be able to cover it today.

At this time, she grabbed my arm and shook it vigorously: "Sue me quickly!"

I frowned and didn't speak.

Nangong Lizhu said eagerly: "Yan Qingqing!"

I looked down at her, "I, of course, will sue you—but not now." ”

"What?!"

She was startled and about to say something, but my hand on her chin squeezed so hard that she shivered in pain, and I whispered, "Now, this is not the time to say this." I just told you the news, and you are so excited, if I say it all, Nangong Lizhu, are you planning to make a big fuss in Jinling today and turn this place upside down, or are you going to die with them?"

“……”

Her hands froze.

I said in a deep voice, "You're too much of a breather. ”

She gasped eagerly, and I could feel her impatience, but after hearing my words, she didn't immediately turn her face to me, or even contradict me, but slowly lowered her head.

I said: "If you make a fuss like you did just now, the people outside will immediately know, and they will immediately go back to tell the Han family sisters that the relationship between the two of us is not as bad as they thought, and even, they will find out that you helped me let Yao Lao go, at that time, what do you think the situation of the two of us will be?"

One of my hands gently stroked the scar on her cheek, and then slowly moved to her neck: "Next time, the knife may fall here." ”

She shuddered and subconsciously closed her mouth.

Seeing that she calmed down a lot, and did know that she was afraid, I breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to her: "Nangong Lizhu, you have to figure out the current situation, although you have left the imperial city and the harem, but here, it will not be easier at all than in the harem." The other party's methods are more vicious than those concubines in the harem, and you-this time, you don't have the emperor to protect you anymore. ”

“……”

"If you're not careful, you're giving away your own head. ”

“……”

"If you want, you can continue to do this willful. ”

“……”

"But remember, don't get involved with me. ”

“……”

"I still want to live well, I have unfulfilled wishes, and I still have people I want to meet. ”

Hearing my almost cold warnings, Nangong Lizhu lowered her head, her shoulders twitched slightly, and after a long time, she slowly raised her head, and I finally saw her eyes that had completely calmed down, and she took a deep breath: "I understand." ”

I was relieved and slowly withdrew my hand.

She looked up at me and said, "But you have to promise me that you will have the opportunity in the future - as long as we are safe, you will tell me the truth." ”

I said calmly, "Of course." ”

“……”

"But you have to promise me these days not to act rashly, not to do anything without me knowing. ”

She nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What about you? You told me not to act rashly, so what are you going to do?"

I said in a deep voice: "There are many things I want to do, but the first priority is to protect myself. ”

Speaking of this, Nangong Lizhu glanced at me again, as if sneering, and said lightly: "This, you don't seem to have to worry." ”

“…… Huh?"

"Pei Yuanxiu, I am reluctant to hurt you. ”

My face sank.

At this time, this kind of thing is nothing to boast about.

So, I said coldly, "I don't want to talk about this now." ”

She glanced at me, but didn't continue the topic, and then said, "So, what are you coming to me for today?"

I looked back again, the door was still tightly closed, and there was no other movement outside, so I lowered my voice a little more and said, "I came to you today for three things. First, I want to thank you for saving people before, and second, the two of us need to breathe, Han Ruoshi intends to mention you at the place where I live today, I think she hopes that the two of us can fight. ”

Nangong Lizhu immediately gritted her teeth: "She wants to be beautiful! If we fight together, she will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman, what a dream!"

I said, "Then let's make her dream come true." ”

Nangong Lizhu was stunned and looked at me.

I said, "If we don't fight, we won't look like each other." ”

“……”

This time, she reacted quickly, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.

After all, she has survived in the harem for so many years, and she may not be good at other things, but this kind of thing has probably become the nature that is integrated into the blood and bones.

After a long pause, she nodded and said, "I understand." ”

The two of us whispered for a long time, and from time to time there was a fight, so that people outside thought that we had a bad relationship, and when we had almost planned some things clearly, she looked at me again: "By the way, you just said that you came to me today for three things, so what is the third thing?"

I said: "I was robbed here from Xichuan by Pei Yuanxiu, and along the way, I rarely received information from the outside world, what is the battle situation in the Central Plains, and what is happening in Jinling now, I almost don't know." He now let me live in the inner courtyard and let people follow me, apparently also on guard against me. ”

“……”

"I need some sources of information. ”

She frowned and said, "I don't know much about these." ”

“……”

I just remembered that a woman like Nangong Lizhu cares much more about the color of rouge than about the current situation, and when she asked her about the war situation in the Central Plains, she really asked the wrong person.

I thought about it for a while, and then said: "Then, you and Nangong Jinhong - follow him all the way from the capital to here, what you saw and experienced along the way, you always remember these, you tell me." ”

When I said this, she immediately began to ponder.

After a while, she said softly, "I remember, father-" At this point, her throat was slightly strained, but she still reluctantly continued: "After he took me out of the capital, he didn't actually go directly to Jinling. ”

"Oh?"
