Under the lamp, a dark shadow danced with the night wind, and the faint candlelight flickered.

Qin Nanxi sat by the desk pale and stiff like a wax man. In her flat palm, she held a small cluster of arrows. On the thick velvet carpet on the side, the small brocade box that was brought down by the scroll at the top of the pavilion was empty, with its mouth wide open, overturning.

The delicate clusters of arrows are forged from the finest cold iron, with snow-cold sharp points, triangular columns, and brutal barbs. It's light like a feather, but it's also heavy like a memory.

The blood stains on the tip of the arrow have long been wiped away, but Qin Nanxi still seems to be able to smell the faint fishy smell, fluttering around the tip of her nose, like Mo Dan's unscrupulous soul, which is hideous and shatters her surging calm.

Qin Nanxi looked at the small and cold light in his palm, and his heart seemed to fall into the cold pool at the bottom of the abyss. She had almost forgotten that the cluster of arrows had been in his palm day and night. At some point, he quietly hid it, and did not mention a word, as if he had really forgotten that it was this cluster of arrows that pierced Mordan's chest; I really forgot that it was her own brother Qin Nanfu who was hiding behind the rain of arrows and giving the order.

Yesterday, Liu Qi said a lot solemnly, she didn't want to think about it, but staring at the cluster of arrows in her palm, she couldn't help but think about it carefully.

Liu Qi said: "Unless Mrs. can persuade the general to leave Chang'an, I am afraid that one day, Mrs. will be in a dilemma." At that time, between husband and brother, how will the wife choose? …….”

Liu Qi said, "Mu Yun has a secret decree in his hands, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Lord Qin is his brother-in-law, so he should avoid suspicion, but he asked Lord Qin to testify? Why is that? …….”

Liu Qi said: "Mu Yun is open by nature, and his grievances are clear. has always scoffed at fame, fortune and wealth, and the only thing that is important for life is the word 'love and righteousness'! In order to repay the revenge of the Di people, he did not hesitate to fight in the cold Xinjiang of the north for more than ten years, and in order to repay the favor of the teacher, he was willing to help you resist the decree and escape from marriage. He is such a person, now he knows that he is narrow and suspicious, but he is unusual, and he is in love with Chang'an Vanity Fair? Why? ……”

Liu Qi's words have a point, and every word has a basis. At this time, I remembered, goodbye to the cold light of the arrow cluster in the palm of my hand. It was like a sharp blade, cut over and over again on Qin Nanxi's heart.

She reluctantly closed her eyes, and Situ Yi's eyes, which seemed to be forever full of smiles, were clearly in front of her. At the bottom of those amber eyes, she always smiled at her figure. However, I don't know when it began, in the deepest part of his eyes, there was a touch of dodging and guilt that she couldn't see......

He was looking at the arrows in his palm. Suddenly, I heard a soft knock on the door of the outer room. "Nanxi!" Situ Yi's soft voice came clearly. Situ Yi's voice was full of exhaustion. Zhang Tu'er was suddenly interrogated overnight, Yuxue Hall was raided, and then returned to the palace to plead guilty, tossing for two days and two nights. When the leak returned, he just wanted to stay in her peaceful breath and rest.

When Qin Nanxi heard his voice, his whole body was shaken, as if he had woken up from a nightmare. The tight heartstrings suddenly softened. couldn't help but be full of joy, turned around and hurriedly greeted him.

"Brother Yi, why did you come back?" Her clear voice had not yet landed, and the person had already plunged into his arms.

Situ Yi was slightly stunned, and immediately tightened the baby in his arms. The whole heart sank into honey in an instant. He caressed her thin back, bowed his head and said gently, "There are many things and messy, and I have delayed." Don't worry, I'm not back in good hands. ”

Qin Nanxi buried her face in the crook of his neck, let his slightly dusty brocade robe suck up her tears, and only stopped swallowing lightly for a while, and snorted slightly: "Brother Yi doesn't know how to send someone back and forth." I'm worried about it at home. With such a big event, the entire Chang'an City was boiling. The adults in various provinces, some of them still have some messages brought out, but you, the general on the cusp of the storm, don't even have a word! ”

Situ Yi didn't answer, let go of his right hand to hold her face, gently stroked the tears from the corners of her eyes, stared into her eyes, the smile became thicker and sweeter, and after a long time, he was satisfied: "This is the legendary little Biesheng newlywed?" That's nice! ”

Qin Nanxi was slightly embarrassed by him, lowered her head to avoid his burning gaze, and muttered, "I don't know what nonsense you are talking about?" ”

Situ Yi tightened his arms slightly, tightened her to his heart, and said with a smile: "This is not nonsense! Nan Xi rarely shows his heart like this. Thinking about it carefully, in the past few years, it seems that there has only been one before the previous expedition! ”

Qin Nan's cheeks were flushed, and he pursed his lips and smiled silently. Thinking about it carefully, she really rarely shows her heart. Maybe it's the love that goes deep, but it's shallow. Or maybe she is quiet by nature, and the lovesickness that penetrates into the bones is in her heart and eyes, but it is rarely expressed in ordinary relationships.

"Such a little sweetness is really drunk! However, it is really a dilemma! ”

Situ Yi's gentle voice was soft and lingering in his ears, Qin Nanxi couldn't help laughing, looked up at him and said, "Brother Yi hasn't been drunk since he was a child?" How could you get drunk so easily? ”

The corners of Situ Yi's lips were deep, and he whispered in her ear: "Wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk." It's because I'm willing to get drunk, and I won't wake up for a long time! “

Qin Nanxi dodged slightly, the corner of his forehead pressed against the dense and thin stubble under his chin, and laughed at him: "I said that I was drunk, where else did I get a dilemma, and I would talk sweetly!" ”

Situ Yi said seriously: "Why not be in a dilemma? You're at home, and I really don't want to leave half a step. But if I don't leave, I won't see Nan Xi loving me like this. Isn't it a dilemma? ”

Qin Nanxi chuckled, and the hands around his waist couldn't help but tighten.

Suddenly, in the palm of his hand, a sharp pain rushed from his fingertips to the bottom of his heart. It was like the thunder of the silent night, waking up An Tian's dream. The small cluster of arrows, still in her palm, pierced her fingertips. The pain made her clench the palm of Situ Yi's back placket, and she couldn't help but let go. The doubts that had just been washed away by joy spread out in my heart like night mist. The sweet smile in her eyes disappeared silently.

Qin Nanxi quietly put the small arrow cluster into his sleeve, raised his hand to brush the loose hair around his ear, and pushed Situ Yi away slightly.

Situ Yi was extremely tired, and she was full of sweetness, and she didn't think about it, just thought that she was urging herself to wash. Reluctantly let go of her, and then turned around and went to the wide clothes.

Taking advantage of his bath, Qin Nanxi quietly returned to the room, put the small arrow cluster hidden in his sleeve back into the brocade box, and as before, put the small box high in a very inconspicuous place in the pavilion, and then turned to the bathroom on the side.

Situ Yi was half-leaning on the side of the white jade pool, his bronze carved shoulders and back half exposed outside the pool. The long dark brown hair was casually draped, soaked in warm water, and wet into strands, scattered on the back of the shoulders and the crook of the neck.

Qin Nanxi stood in the mist and watched for a long time before slowly leaning in and sitting by the pool. She gently pulled up his long hair, her fingers slightly bent into a shallow arc, and her fingertips gently penetrated into the hair, gently massaging it repeatedly.

Situ Yi closed his eyes, immersed in this rare peace and happiness. The lazy body seemed to be broken bones, and as soon as he tilted his head, he leaned his wet head against her, and said with a low smile: "Nanxi, as long as I have you, I have nothing else to ask for." ”

Qin Nanxi's misty eyes flashed, and his subordinates were a little gentler, pursed their lips and smiled, and were silent for a moment before they pleaded softly: "In this case, why don't you take Nanxi and leave Chang'an?" ”

Situ Yi's stretched eyebrows suddenly jumped, and the satisfied smile slowly dissipated, and after a long time, he opened his slightly squinted eyes, stared at Qin Nanxi, shook his head slowly, and couldn't bear to whisper, "Nanxi, I'm sorry." ”

Qin Nanxi was not surprised by this answer, but she was extremely sad. She looked at his eyes seriously, and in the depths of those starry eyes, the guilt she couldn't fathom flashed again. What is this "sorry" for?

Qin Nanxi stared at him, pursed his lips and said nothing, only shook his head slightly. In the bottom of my heart, it seems to have cracked a small hole. It's tiny, but it's real.
