Chapter 286: Dead of Night
At that time, no one understood why Li Jie wanted to hold Nangong Hanyu, who wanted to escape.
In the perceptual cognition, they all felt that Li Jie, who stayed in place, was on his own way, and at the same time, he dragged His Royal Highness the noble princess.
But in fact, Li Jie and Nangong Hanyu miraculously survived in the crack of the iron frame of the Ferris wheel, which made everyone start to rethink the original problem.
Pulled Nangong Hanyu because: Nangong Hanyu couldn't run away from the area where the Ferris wheel collapsed no matter what.
Although Li Kit's behavior looks strange, the result is a winner. The winner doesn't need a reason, it's just the outcome that matters.
Li Jie saved Nangong Hanyu's life, which is an indisputable fact.
In fact, to be honest, Li Jie couldn't know the correctness of his choice at that time. But he did it anyway, even though he had a rational mind and knew that the chances of staying where he was and surviving were close to zero.
The reason for this kind of gambling with his life is that Li Jie promised Feng Xiaoting to save Nangong Hanyu.
Li Jie has no past, and the past is a blank. Therefore, there are no distracting thoughts in his heart, and there are no superfluous complicated thoughts when he is doing anything.
Is it this that makes Li Jie see through the fog of fate that no one else can pass through?
Li Jie didn't know, and there was no one in this world who could answer this answer for him.
When the night is deep and everything is silent...... Li Jie, who was sitting on the sofa, opened his eyes.
This was the case for many nights, and Li Jie couldn't sleep, so he simply stopped going to bed.
glanced at Feng Xiaoting, who was lying on the comfortable and wide bed, smiling in her sweet sleep. Li Jie moved his gaze to the window, looking through the hollow window grille into the dark and deep night sky.
A trace of cold wind blew through Li Jie's body, but it couldn't compare with the coldness in his heart.
After waking up, Li Jie is like a shell that has lost his soul, and he can't always find the fireworks that are alive in his heart.
The bedrooms in the palace are magnificent, and the luxury that amazes the world cannot keep the empty Li Jie.
Quietly got up, went up to the second floor, pushed open the red lacquered wooden door, and walked onto the empty platform.
Li Jie, who had been sitting quietly on the edge of the platform for half an hour, was always looking at the bright silver moon disk hanging high in the sky.
Hazy thoughts, misty smoke.
There seemed to be a distant sound of a flute in my ears, and I searched carefully to make sure that this flute sound only existed in my mind.
In the center of the lunar disk, a vision of a fairy in white appears.
I can't make out my face, but I know it's beautiful. Dancing and dancing, like a dream, not in the world.
Stretching out his hand to wipe it, Li Jie suddenly found that there were tears on his face at some point.
I wonder why I cry when I don't feel sad?
Hearing the sound of soft footsteps behind him, Li Jie didn't look back, and unexpectedly waited for the delicate body to sit down next to him, and a familiar body fragrance penetrated the tip of his nose.
The cold night breeze on the platform made Feng Xiaoting feel a chill. Holding Li Jie's arm tightly, he asked softly, "Why don't you sleep?" β
"Can't sleep." Li Jie responded very simply, and continued to look at the moon disk from afar, but he could no longer see the illusion just now.
Slightly inexplicably lost.
"You saved Nangong Hanyu today, and now you are a hero of Jingnanguo. I was sure you would, but I was afraid you would...... Wounded. β
Li Jie glanced sideways at the pretty face leaning on his shoulder, and sighed slightly: "Today's incident made me know a truth. No matter who you are, no matter what your identity, you are small in the face of fate. We are powerless to change our fate, and we can only survive as a participant in the cracks of the rules set by fate. It makes me sad......"
Li Jie may be in a state of mind at this time, and his words seem very sad.
made Feng Xiaoting, who knew a lot, her pupils flicker, and she almost wanted to cry. couldn't help but intensify the intensity of the embrace, as if he was afraid that Li Jie would disappear in front of him in the next second.
"Let's get married when we go back......" Feng Xiaoting, who was as delicate as a flower, bit her lower lip and squeezed out of her mouth with all her might.
Li Jie blinked blankly, and asked with a little doubt, "Didn't you say that we had been married before?" β
"It used to be ......an elopement," Feng Xiaoting responded in a low voice, and then summoned up the courage to say loudly: "This time we want to let the whole world see that we are a pair that will never be separated!" β
Li Jie, who had no doubts, smiled slightly, and gently raised his hand to caress her silky smooth hair. Who knew that the illusion of the fairy in white who had just disappeared flashed in his mind at this time, making him suddenly feel a strange sourness that was very familiar and very distant.
What Li Jie didn't expect was that in the dead of night, the palace attendants suddenly came to pass the word, claiming that the monarch had been invited.
I don't know why the king of Jingnan summoned them at this moment, it can't be that they haven't slept yet, right?
With curiosity, Li Jie and Feng Xiaoting followed the chamberlain into the monarch's bedroom.
After pushing the door open, he respectfully invited them in, and the chamberlain closed the door.
It was a little dark inside, and only the faint light on the ceiling, shrouded in yellow, barely illuminated everything in the room.
There seems to be an invisible pressure around him, and the silence makes people feel unconsciously depressed. After searching all over the place, he found that the source came from the eyebrows of Nangong Guojun sitting on the golden armchair.
The monarch of Jingnan Kingdom, the head of the Nangong family, and the only person in power in Jingnan Kingdom, Nangong Xiao.
Due to a serious illness, Nangong Xiao's cheeks have been thinned and out of shape. At this time, his cheeks were like knives, and the wrinkles on his face were like countless scars cut by the blade.
Nangong Xiao's eyes were slender, but when they suddenly opened, a ball of light burst out.
"Is it Feng Jiaxiaoting? Should this Li Jie be your fiancΓ©? Not bad, not bad. β
Feng Xiaoting hurriedly replied respectfully: "Yes, Uncle Guojun." Have you been feeling better lately? This time, my father asked me to bring some supplements to replenish my uncle's body. My father and you are old friends, and I must express his concern to Uncle Monarch. β
"Haha, old. I'm just like ordinary people, I always can't pass this hurdle. Thank you for your kindness for me, and say hello for me when I go back. β
Feng Xiaoting responded delicately, and then gently placed the two exquisite gift boxes she had prepared on the table next to her. When she turned around, Feng Xiaoting's head was constantly spinning, how to talk to the other party about the loan.
"Li Jie is your fiancΓ©, why haven't I heard from your father all along?"
Feng Xiaoting looked at Li Jie and found that the other party was staring at Nangong Xiao intently.
In Li Jie's observation, although this Nangong Xiao spoke casually and couldn't stop smiling and nodding, his eyes never looked at people, which made Li Jie feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
Li Jie didn't speak, and after stopping for a second, he heard Nangong Xiao laugh and said: "However, the man Xiaoting can fancy is definitely an excellent person, I have watched Xiaoting grow up since I was a child, and I still believe in her vision." β
Feng Xiaoting gently held Li Jie's palm and said obediently: "Thank you, Uncle Guojun, for your compliment." I also asked the monarch's uncle to say a few kind words in front of my father when he was free. β
Nangong Xiao nodded, staring at the floor lines with a smile.
"Uncle Monarch, there is something very important to ...... this time."
Nangong Xiao suddenly opened his mouth and forcibly interrupted Feng Xiaoting's words: "Li Jie, thank you for saving Hanyu's life today." Our Nangong family and Jingnan owe you a favor. β
Li Jie still didn't speak.
Feng Xiaoting said: "Uncle Guojun is serious, and it is natural to save people. The situation was critical, but fortunately the ending was not dangerous. People are not humane, and we can't count it after so many years between our two families. In the future, the Feng family still has a lot of places to ask Uncle **** to help more. Now my father ......"
"Yes. Ahem, cough ......" Nangong Xiao's heavy cough interrupted Feng Xiaoting's follow-up words again. After finally catching his breath, he asked Li Jie again: "I also listened to the report of the waiter about the situation at that time." Li Jie fought for his life. I'm just curious, why do you have the confidence to stay where you are and survive? β
Feng Xiaoting swallowed forcibly and didn't say anything more.
Li Jie, who still didn't respond, made the room extremely quiet immediately after the words landed.
"Huh." Nangong Xiao smiled: "I'm old, and I'm always guessing. Did Li Jie already know that the Ferris wheel would collapse today? β
Feng Xiaoting was shocked and hurriedly explained: "Uncle Guojun, don't misunderstand, today's incident is just a coincidence. The playground was built by the palace superintendent, and it was Hanyu's sister who invited us to play there. If we have known that it is indeed nonsense, we do not know which person chewed his tongue in front of the king's uncle. β
Suddenly, Li Jie squeezed Feng Xiaoting's soft, and asked Xiang Nangong Xiao with a chuckle: "Is it that since Feng Xiaoting and I entered the palace, all my every move is under your surveillance?" β
