When Ning Yan saw Gu Mingxuan, he was reading a book in a wheelchair, and a stove burning with soothing incense was curling Nana beside him. The soft sunlight shines through the carved lattice windows on his handsome face, revealing an indescribable serenity and tranquility.

She stood dumbfounded in the doorway, unable to move until they looked up and saw her.

"Why don't you come in?" He put down the book and looked up at her with a light smile.

Ning Yan laughed embarrassedly, only to feel that her hands and feet had nowhere to put her hands and feet, and leaned against the doorrail and lowered her head. Gu Mingxuan sighed, shook his wheelchair to her side, put his hand around her waist, and pulled Ning Yan on his lap with a little effort.

After a moment's pause, she struggled to her feet. I only heard his low and clear voice in my ears: "A-Ning, do you have to let my legs become an obstacle between us?" ”

He leaned very close, and there was a refreshing and pleasant smell in his arms, like a mountain stream and green weeds, which made people sink deeply.

"No ......"

"In the end, I was also responsible for what happened back then, so I couldn't hide from it. Even if it weren't for you, Yun Xiu wouldn't let me go. So, don't be upset, okay? ”

Ning Yan nodded, but her eyes gradually turned red.

"Ah Xuan, the beans are very powerful, if nothing else, he must be this year's martial champion."

Gu Mingxuan ran through her soft long hair and whispered, "He is born with divine power, and he is a good material for practice, but it's a pity that he started too late." When I was studying martial arts, Master asked my brother and sister to choose weapons. I chose a soft sword, and the senior brother chose a heavy sword, and Douzi would definitely benefit a lot if he could get his guidance. ”

"I've rarely heard you talk about your brothers and sisters."

Gu Mingxuan smiled: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that it's so boring, you definitely don't want to listen." ”

"Then I want to hear it now, you can say it!" Ning Yan's eyes widened and she looked at him expectantly.

Gu Mingxuan smiled and shook his head: "I went to the mountain to learn art at the age of five, my senior brother is five years old, and my junior sister is two years younger than me. Shizun has a cold personality and doesn't like to be lively, so we are far away from each other whether we are practicing martial arts or learning the Tao. Although they are in the same mountain, they haven't seen each other for a long time. Occasionally, only during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the master would go out to see us. The last time I saw my brother was when he was coming down the mountain, when he was just weak. He kowtowed three times at the foot of the snowy mountain, and then walked away without looking back, still carrying the heavy sword on his back. ”

"And after that, did you meet him?"

"Have you forgotten?" He pinched her sparkling nose and smiled, "That year, the bearded man we met by Yingyue Lake drank three pots of wine in one go, played the sword and sang, and was chic. You also said at the time, how can there be such a profligate person in this world? ”

"I remember." Her eyes sparkled with a moving light, "You seem to be saying that he was a little familiar at the time, and then chased him out?" I didn't see you say anything when I came back, so I forgot about it. ”

"I also learned later that my brother met a woman after coming down the mountain and was in love with her. That girl is a beautiful lady, and she already has a marriage contract with the young castle master of Lujiabao. When we met him, the girl was already married to the wife of the young lord of Lujiabao. The senior brother is naturally sad and frustrated, and it is not surprising that he wanders the rivers and lakes alone, and he is wandering. ”

Ning Yan thought about it and sneered a little: "That girl definitely doesn't really love your senior brother, if it were me, even if she died, she wouldn't marry lightly." ”

"If I were a senior brother, I would like you to forget me."

"Why?"

"It's better to be lonely than two people to be adrift, and after weighing, maybe forgetting jì is the best choice."

"But don't you think it's too cruel to forget jì? The forgotten person may be painful, but isn't forgetting jì itself unacceptable? Shouldn't you fight for your own happiness? She was a little excited, staring at Gu Mingxuan with glass-colored eyes.

Seeing that he was defeated, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Aning, you are serious." ”

As he spoke, a man walked outside the door, his clothes were in the wind, and a fan was shaking in the wind. The person who came was none other than Lord Lu Li, with a baby face and a standard fox-like smile.

"My subordinates have disturbed the two adults."

Ning Yan wanted to get up unnaturally, but was firmly trapped in Gu Mingxuan's arms.

Lu Li smiled clearly: "The martial arts have ended, and the Dust Night Boy is expected to become this year's martial champion." But...... The princess must not know that in addition to the prince of the dusty night, the emperor alone promoted Chu Feng as the commander of the forbidden army. ”

"Chu Feng?"

"Yes. If the secret guard is correct, Chu Feng should be a disciple of Yun Xiu. ”

"That's not surprising. One goes back and forth, and only by eliminating the other's strengths can they suppress each other. However, have you found out the movements of the Jin State Mansion? Ning Yan sneered.

Lu Li said: "It's very strange, I only saw Yun Xiu coming in and out, and I couldn't see anyone else." Not to mention any trace of a woman. I suspect that Concubine Yue should be hiding in the palace now. ”

"After all, that's where she used to live, and the emperor is her son, isn't it more natural to live in the palace than the Jin State Mansion?" Ning Yan turned her head to look at Gu Mingxuan, "Do you think I should meet this Yue Guifei for a while?" ”

Gu Mingxuan's slender fingers clasped her hand and chuckled, "What to do?" Do you know yourself and your opponent? ”

"Master told me back then that she had a grudge with Concubine Yue, even to the point of incompatibility. After she left the palace, the more noble concubine was favored, and before and after she came back, the more noble concubine disappeared. I think there must be something to do with it. Now that we are in the open and in the dark, I think it is better to be passive everywhere than to take the initiative? ”

"It seems to me that it is better to be still than to be still. Do you know how snakes hunt? Be optimistic about the timing and surprise to deliver a fatal blow. His tone was soft, but the words he said were loud, "Concubine Yue is anxious to return to the palace, Yun Xiu is anxious to take revenge, we might as well brake quietly and see the move." ”

So, after the martial arts, the eldest princess recuperated in the house again with illness. For many days, he didn't go to the early court, and he didn't even deal with the government, and handed over all his brains to Zheng Yu. Obviously, it's all gone. Wei Yan and Xing Ru'an came to the door many times to ask to see them, but they were all stopped outside the gate of the princess's mansion.

And Ning Yan moved to Qingfeng Building with Qingluan, drinking tea all day long, playing chess, playing the piano, painting, and occasionally borrowing Lu Lizhi's hand to go downstairs to gamble, and his life was better than that of the gods. If those courtiers saw Her Royal Highness the eldest princess like this, it is estimated that they would return to their hometowns one by one the next day.

Until the day when the emperor was scheduled to go out of the palace to Fahua Temple to pray for blessings, the clouds were overcast and the torrential rain was pouring.

Outside the Wuji Palace, the eldest princess's royal drive was long overdue. I haven't seen her for a long time, and the eldest princess is getting thinner and thinner, and the ten finger bones holding the wheel are distinct, and there is no flesh to be seen. Looking at his face again, he was so pale that it was almost transparent, and he couldn't help but fall down as soon as the wind blew it.

Zheng Yu hurriedly greeted him, with a slight distress in his eyes. Holding her weak and boneless hand, he said, "Sister Huang, why are you so sick?" Have you ever asked the doctor to take a look? ”

Ning Yan coughed a few times, and the corners of her mouth hooked a weak smile and said, "I've seen it, it's not good, it's not good in the end." The palace remembered that the emperor was going out of the palace to pray for blessings today, and specially rushed from the palace to accompany the emperor out of the palace. It rained heavily and the road was slippery. The person carrying the sedan chair needs to be careful...... Ahem......"
