Chapter Twenty-Three: Loneliness in the World (3)

At this moment, Tianyi Water Pavilion is quiet and peaceful.

The handsome man sat in a wheelchair with a sleeping woman in his arms. Under the oil lamp in front of him, there was a plate of black and white.

He held the child in one hand, contemplating the place where it fell.

The lights on the table suddenly exploded. The corners of his lips slowly curled, and after dropping a son, he gently brushed it over Ning Yan's sleeping hole at the back of her neck, and then said loudly.

"Why don't you come in? Do you have to go out to greet a disabled person like Gu? ”

A powerful air current rushed open the door, mixed with countless snow and cold wind. Gu Mingxuan frowned, and with a slight luck, he protected Ning Yan's whole body.

"Return to the Lord of Lanshan, long time no see!" A bright purple man walked in leisurely, a pair of purple eyes full of cold and cruel smiles. When he saw Ning Yan in Gu Mingxuan's arms, he was slightly stunned, and then his smile gradually deepened.

He lifted his robe and made it to the opposite side of Gu Mingxuan.

"The mountain lord is so interested, and he drinks tea with a beautiful woman in his arms on a snowy night. I'm afraid that the best thing in the world is that the mountain lord has taken possession. He unceremoniously picked up the cup that Ning Yan had just drunk and poured a cup of tea.

Gu Mingxuan's eyes sank, his wrist flicked lightly, and with a "whoosh", a black jade broke through the wind and smashed down the cup in Yun Xiu's hand with an unstoppable momentum.

"You don't deserve to touch her stuff!" He held another son and landed on the chessboard and said coldly.

The man on the other side smiled noncommittally, and at this time, several figures outside the Tianyishui Pavilion fell. When I saw the scene in the pavilion, I was shocked. Lu Li said: "It's too late, please punish the mountain master." ”

Gu Mingxuan said leisurely: "Lord Yun Xiu is the number one master of the Western Liang Kingdom, and he studied under the current high priest. Wherever you are his opponents, step down! There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Yun Xiu smiled disappreciatively: "I'm used to being a gentleman, and it's not bad to be a gentleman on the beam occasionally." People like the mountain lord are naturally disdainful. ”

"A-Ning, this princess is too poor, Lord Yun likes something that might as well be taken directly, no need to be polite. For example, the sword with green beads. He casually pointed to the wall next to the desk in the inner room, and then dropped another one.

Yun Xiu glanced at the knife, and complicated feelings flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his calm.

"If Lord Yun is not satisfied, Gu Mouke will send off the guests." He raised his eyes and looked at Yun Xiu, smiling lightly and coldly, "Gu Mou is just a reckless man in the mountains, and he has no official position, plus his legs are crippled, so he can't compare to Lord Yun being reused by the emperor." However, for the sake of A-Ning, Gu didn't mind having his hands covered in blood. He lowered his head and rubbed the woman's white cheeks, and the smile in his eyes seemed to have a temperature at that moment.

The two people who hugged each other like that were beautiful became an eternal picture, but they were extremely dazzling in Yun Xiu's eyes.

He applauded and sneered, "I really don't know if the Mountain Lord is amorous or ruthless. He is as precious as an ant to a stranger. The sound of the last word fell under his palm on the table, which contained internal force, and all the pieces on the board began to shake slightly.

Gu's one-handed luck poured into the round table to resist Yun Xiu's internal force, and the chess pieces on the chessboard shook even more violently.

"What does the life and death of the rest have to do with Gu? A person who wants to save his own life is not worthy of living in the world. For you back then, A-Ning has done his duty! ”

Yun Xiu was angry, and his other hand slammed down. With a "boom", the round table cracked in the middle, and the chess pieces scattered in all directions.

Gu Mingxuan quickly retreated, holding up his cloak with one hand to cover Ning Yan. In the dust, Yun Xiu sneered: "Lord Mountain, we will have a meeting later." The voice became farther and farther away, drifting away from Tianyishui Pavilion.

Lu Li and the others hurriedly entered the house, and even Qingluan Xiaowu and the others, who had just fallen asleep, were woken up and rushed over one after another.

"Mountain Lord, it's okay!"

"Shh Xu is movement just now was too big, and Ning Yan in his arms struggled for a while, as if he wanted to wake up, and finally fell asleep again. He patted her on the back and whispered, "Far away?" ”

Lu Li bowed and said, "Yes!" ”

"Find out who is related to Yun Xiu, and find a house near the princess's mansion, and we will move there after the year."

"Subordinates obey!"

"Where's the Dark Guard?"

A black shadow floated down from the roof: "Here! ”

"Go to the prison overnight and see how the cup moon is now?"

"Subordinates obey!"

"Qingluan Xiaowu, clean up the Tianyi Water Pavilion and change the pineapple table again."

"Yes!"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the wax moon season, a dazzling red lantern is hung at the door of every household in the imperial capital. It's warm, as if guiding a wanderer from afar to find his way home.

The snow was still falling, but the cold wind was much softer. Ning Yan braved the snow to go to Donghe Palace, and when she arrived at Qianyuan Palace, the imperial doctor was changing Zheng Yu's dressing. The weather was cold, the wound healed slowly, and more than ten days passed before it began to scab.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the main hall, and it was warm.

Ning Yan took over the work of the imperial doctor and bandaged Zheng Yu. Because of the change of dressing, half of Zheng Yu's body was naked, and he couldn't help but be a little ashamed at the moment.

Ning Yan feigned anger and said, "What are you hiding, sit down." ”

The young man had just done a good job, but his ears were so red that they were about to drip blood.

While Ning Yan was taking the medicine, she asked casually, "What about Lord Yun?" Why not there? Hasn't he always been in and out with you? ”

"Mr. Yun has some things, and he is out of the palace for the time being." He replied cautiously.

"The emperor is not young, and after the New Year, he will be fifteen. It's time to choose a suitable person to accompany you, and if you like it, wait until you are in charge of the government. She lowered her eyelids, looked at his wound carefully, and said slowly.

Zheng Yu's heart sank, and he was a little reluctant: "I don't want women." ”

"Don't want women, is it possible that the emperor likes men?" Ning Yan slapped him on the head, "Do you know how many rumors there are in the palace and outside the palace now that the emperor has broken sleeves and has a habit of dragon yang?" ”

"Why bother with those who are worldly and filthy?"

"Then you sue me, why do you favor Yun Xiu?"

"Because Mr. Yun understands me!"

"Got you?" Ning Yan sneered, "I understand you, so I can betray you." ”

"Mr. Yun is not that kind of person, he knows what I want most, he is my friend!" Zheng Yu argued with a red face.

"Yu'er, the imperial sister admits that she has neglected you all these years because she has been busy with government affairs, and you are very lonely in the deep palace, and there is no one who can speak. So Sister Huang doesn't object to you making some friends, but this person, anyone can do it, but it can't be Yun Xiu! ”

"Why?"

"I had an old grudge against him, and I was afraid that he would approach you for it."

Zheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and smiled: "Sister Huang, don't worry, Mr. Yun told me the first time he saw you, what happened back then was just a misunderstanding, and he never took it to heart." ”

Ning Yan looked at him and sighed: "In short, you stay away from him, you are not allowed to show him the excerpts and documents I let you see every day, and he is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the inner palace or the court." Do you understand? ”

Zheng Yu nodded, but there was another light in his eyes. Ning Yan saw it in her eyes and only sighed silently.
