The wind is like a knife, the night is like ink, and tonight is exceptionally dark and cold.

However, sitting in front of the tombstone, he no longer felt cold.

The dim light of the midnight lamp fell on his handsome and haggard face like a thin scrap of paper, and he stared at the haggard man on the tablet with inky eyes, and his melancholy eyes were filled with painful mist.

If the remorse now can be exchanged for the debt that was once owed to her; If the current waiter can redeem his snub to her, he would rather be cut by a thousand cuts......

But there are no ifs in this world.

Heaven never gives those who missed it a second chance.

"Poof!"

What fell to his feet along the ends of his hair, he raised his head in a trance, and hail the size of a bean fell in the sky.

He stood up in despair, took off his body, and put it on the tombstone.

I looked at her portrait and was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked in the direction of the main building. The hail of the moon carried the snowflakes, quickly soaking through his thin clothes, and the cold wind blew, and his tall body shivered in the wind and snow.

……

Six days later.

Zi Ning sat in the room, looking at the crowded palace compound in a daze.

Today is twenty-three days before the wedding day of him and Mo Ziming, and everything can be regarded as perfect, but I can't say why, the closer the day gets, the more inexplicable unease in her heart becomes.

"Squeak!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and she thought it was Mu Xueman coming back and didn't look back.

"My brother raised you to work in the palace, but not for you to watch the scenery and live in the palace!"

It's a clear girl's voice...... Zi Ning turned around in surprise and saw Chu Jiaowan walking towards her proudly.

After meeting her in Chu Lingye's study that day, Zi Ning asked Mu Xueman that this beautiful girl was Chu Lingye's own sister, that is, the county lord, she was invincible in the palace, and the subordinates had to hide when they saw her.

"Didn't you hear the lord of this county talk to you? Deaf or dumb? Chu Jiaowan had already walked behind Zi Ning and looked at her with ill will.

Where did this little woman's hostility come from to her?

Zi Ning remained calm and said politely: "County Lord, what are you looking for a slave and maid?" ”

"What are you? Don't pretend to be polite to me! Chu Jiaowan's small eyes widened, she heard the news that Mo Ziming was going to marry Xia Zining today, and she couldn't wait to cut Zining with a thousand knives, so she came over directly.

“……”

Zi Ning frowned helplessly.

"You're still impatient? What kind of thing are you, you seduced my brother a year ago, and now you're seducing Zi Ming again, I think you're the same as a year ago, a shameless slut! ”

More and more mean and explicit words rushed to her face, like a sharp knife, which instantly aroused Zining's temperament, she suddenly stood up, and looked at this vexatious little woman dissatisfied:

"You're the county lord, so I respect you a little, but please pay attention to your words."

"Do you still know how to ask for face?" The more Zi Ning resisted, the more angry Chu Jiaowan rushed up, and her voice suddenly rose very high:

"If you have done ugly things in the past, you will pretend not to know? I changed my appearance, changed my face, and came back thinking that I was neat, didn't I? What are you pretending to be high and pure? This kind of shameless slut is a slut who rides thousands of people across 10,000 people. ”

"County Lord, please respect yourself!" Zi Ning's breathing began to be rapid, she was really irritated by this rude little woman.

In front of her, she stared at her with clear eyes, although she was angry, she also lost that calm, that kind of understanding, her eyes were exactly the same as when An Xin looked at her!

How could she be wrong, it was clearly her, not only ruined Brother Wang's happiness back then, but now she still wants to marry the man she likes!

"So what?" Chu Jiaowan raised her little face angrily: "I said that you are a cheap woman, a slut whore who is not even as good as a prostitute...... Yes! ”

Before the words fell, Zi Ning had already slapped her pink little face hard.

"You dare to hit me?!" The hot pain spread on her face, looking at the woman in front of her who was still calm and natural after beating people, Chu Jiaowan suddenly remembered the scene of being slapped by her a year ago, she was completely angry, and raised her hand and threw it at Zi Ning's face.

But Zi Ning's eyes were quick, and he raised his hand and grabbed her wrist.

Chu Jiaowan couldn't slap it, and she was even more angry, she raised her other hand and wanted to fight, but she was also caught by Zi Ning, she stared and gritted her teeth, and Zi Ning looked at each other, and her beautiful little face suddenly distorted.

"Let go! Let me go! As a subordinate, you dare to beat the lord of this county, believe it or not, I want Brother Wang to punish you with death! Let go, let go ......" she gritted her teeth.

Zi Ning looked at her with a sneer, maybe she didn't look at Chu Jiaowan in her bones, seeing her like this, she actually felt angry in her heart.

The woman's mocking gaze seemed to add fuel to the fire, making her almost mad with anger, but she had no choice but to raise her voice higher: "Cheap woman, let go of me!" ”

The shrill sound was as piercing as porcelain being broken......

Zi Ning has never liked to provoke others, but at this moment, there is a strong urge in her heart to continue to provoke Chu Jiaowan's anxiety, and she smiled kindly: "County Lord, I see that you are a little capable of talking." ”

What the?

Chu Jiaowan's head buzzed, and she looked at Zi Ning in disbelief: "What did you say?" ”

"What's wrong?"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the door.

Looking at Chu Lingye, who was cold, Zi Ning couldn't help but be stunned and let Chu Jiaowan go.

"Brother Wang, you came at the right time, this subordinate not only slapped me, but also wanted to continue to bully me!" Chu Jiaowan had already run over aggrievedly and grabbed Chu Lingye's arm.

He had already seen half of Chu Jiaowan's flushed face, Chu Lingye frowned distressedly, and looked at Zi Ning coldly: "Apologize to the county lord." ”

was scolded by Chu Jiaowan in a daze, Zi Ning was already in a bad mood, and Chu Lingye's commanding tone and indifferent gaze aroused her resistance even more, she raised her little face and said lightly:

"Lord Wang, I admit that I slapped the county lord, but she insulted people first, in this case, anyone will do this, although I am a subordinate, but I also have my own dignity, should I apologize, I think the prince will not always favor your family."

In a word, not only got rid of responsibility, satirized Chu Jiaowan for being uneducated, but also secretly satirized Chu Lingye for not disciplining his sister and favoring Chu Jiaowan, Chu Lingye and Chu Jiaowan both showed a trace of stunned on their faces when they heard this.

Chu Jiaowan was stunned at first, and then pulled Chu Lingye's arm hard: "It's still strong to beat someone, cheap woman, do you want to be shameless?" ”

Chu Lingye lowered his eyes and glanced at Chu Jiaowan, and there was a faint hint of dissatisfaction between his eyebrows.

"Hehe, everyone can see clearly who is shameless." Zi Ning's gaze slowly swept over Chu Jiaowan's face, and she smiled lightly:

"What happened just now, who insulted who first, I think the people outside heard it very clearly, if you want to know the truth, just ask a few people to know, Lord Wang, I don't think you can indiscriminately wronged a subordinate because of this little thing, county lord, what do you say?"

"I ...... You! Chu Jiaowan stared at her big clear eyes and panted heavily.

When she insulted Zi Ning just now, her voice was very high, and the door was not closed, so the people in the courtyard must have heard it clearly, she knew that she was usually not popular, and if she really investigated, no one would definitely be on her side.

"Jiaowan, apologize to Ning'er." An indifferent voice rang out in the quiet study.

"What?" Chu Jiaowan let go of Chu Lingye's hand in surprise and looked at Chu Lingye in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, Chu Lingye suddenly changed his position, and at this moment, Zi Ning couldn't help but be surprised.

His expression was as indifferent as usual, and his gaze was deep and elusive: "Apologies." ”

"Chu Lingye, are you my brother Wang? I'm the county lord, she's just a subordinate......" Chu Jiao stomped her feet angrily: "You want me to apologize to her, no way!" ”

glared at Zi Ning angrily, and Chu Jiaowan slammed the door and left.

When she went out, she immediately saw a group of people in the courtyard staring at her strangely, and she frowned angrily and shouted, "What are you looking at? Give me a good job, be careful that I want Brother Wang to drive all of you away! ”

Through the thick door, Zi Ning could still clearly hear Chu Jiaowan's arrogant voice, hooking her lips, and her eyes couldn't help but show a bit of mockery.

But he didn't know that Chu Lingye could see any slight change in her expression very clearly.

"Proud?" He suddenly approached her, looking down at her beautiful face.

Of course he knows what kind of virtue his sister is, just now the door was open, he knew that the people outside must be paying attention to how he dealt with this matter, he was wronged by Chu Jiaowan because of the overall situation, but in any case, his own sister was slapped in the face, and he always had to get some justice for her.

His strange gaze unsettled her: "Lord, the slave is only defending my own dignity......"

At this point, he could not say any more, for he was already standing in front of her, and his body was so close to her.

He couldn't help but step back, but his waist was blocked by the table, and he couldn't retreat any longer, and he was still moving forward, first the clean clothes came to her, and then the sturdy body squeezed her whole body.

What is this man doing?

Why did he look at her so gloomy and strange?

His heart was out of rhythm in an instant, and his trembling little hand pushed helplessly on his chest: "Lord Wang, please respect yourself......"

"What does it mean to be non-self-respecting?" Instead of retreating, he leaned forward a few points: "So? ”

The provocative, evil tone and the good-smelling mint fragrance on his body hit like a spell of charm, she suddenly blushed, she didn't know what he was going to do next, but she was suddenly terrified, looked up at him, and couldn't help but show a little horror in her eyes:

"Lord Wang, the slave knows that it is wrong, I shouldn't provoke the county lord, please don't do this."

Her voice was trembling, clinging to her soft body, he clearly felt that her body was also trembling slightly, and her heart, which had been frozen for too long, suddenly seemed to be scratched by something, and there was an inexplicable sense of restlessness......

He stared, suppressing an emotion.

The flash of heat in his eyes made her panic even more, she was completely confused, and her two little hands desperately pushed his chest: "Lord Wang, please stay away from me!" ”

Her resistance was too strong, but it made him even more restless, and he took a deep breath and tried to keep his composure......

However, in a trance, the picture of her and Mo Ziming being close to her the day before yesterday suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and an inexplicable sense of jealousy suddenly came up, he suddenly hooked her little face with his right hand, lowered his head, and his pale crimson thin lips were deeply imprinted towards her small mouth.

"Ahh

She panicked even more, and when she screamed, his soft long tongue actually poked into her mouth, hooked her fragrant little tongue, tightly intertwined, and inhaled deeply. Suck......

"Boom!"

Xia Zining's brain seemed to have exploded, and her whole body was violently shaken, as if she was drowning, struggling desperately.

However, his powerful right hand held the back of her head behind him, clamping her head tightly, while his muscular body squeezed her firmly against the table, preventing her from moving at all.

And his soft tongue was still sucking like crazy. Suck her sweet juice like a thirsty camel.

How could this man do this to her?

Why is his breath so familiar and so beautiful?

Why do you suddenly tremble so much? Why is her heart filled with a strong sense of joy, as if she has been looking forward to this kiss for too long, as if she is very happy to be kissed by him like this......

Her mind seemed to go blank, and she even wanted to give up the struggle, so she sank in his kiss.

The feeling of kissing her was so good, so beautiful that he forgot for a moment, his breath began to be heavy, and his hands began to be presumptuous on her breasts. Part kneading. Rubbing, wandering, and even forgetting to pinch her hurt!

The thin body trembled heavily, and the strange pain led to a trace of her rationality, this should not be, this is wrong, she is a woman who is engaged to someone, and soon she will marry a wife......

The relaxed body tensed again, and she struggled desperately again.

But to no avail, he was like a beast completely out of his mind, kissing her madly, and his big hands even unbuttoned her breast, wanting to reach into her clothes and caress her more secret beauty!

No!

You can't go any further!

She took a deep breath, and her two rows of teeth suddenly clenched hard.

"Whew!"

The sudden sharp pain on his tongue made Chu Lingye instantly regain his senses. Yu's misty eyes widened instantly, and he looked at this woman up close.

"Woo woo woo ......"

She tried to let her go, but her tongue was clenched by her, and he couldn't say a word, and she, squinting her eyes, seemed to warn him of something.

He understood, the right hand that was imprisoned on her head and on her breast. The left hand of the department is released at the same time.

"Whew!"

But why didn't she let go? His brow furrowed in pain.

This man treated her like this, how could she let him go so easily?

Hardhearted, hard, harder!

She had to let him remember that she Xia Zining could not be bullied.

"Woo......"

Until I saw the green tendons on his brow protrude, until I felt that his whole body was twitching. twitched, she let go, and both hands pushed at the same time on his abdomen.

"Ahh

He was already in pain, and the place where his abdomen was burned the day before yesterday was pushed hard by her, and the pain was even more painful, and Chu Lingye took two steps back again and again before standing firmly.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss......" he tried to suppress the pain, looking at her, resentful and chagrined.

This woman, just like his princess back then, seemed to have a special attraction to him, and the closer he got to her, the more he couldn't help himself, kissing her, he couldn't help himself, and even he who had always had self-control forgot his feelings, but this woman could still stay awake, as if she didn't feel anything for him at all......

Just now, she looked like she was going to bite him to death!

His gaze was cold and terrifying, what else did this man want to do to her? She looked at him defensively, and subconsciously took the teacup on the table with her right hand.

Seeing her move like this, Chu Lingye felt even more depressed, and walked towards her with a step: "Woman......"

"Brother Wang, I heard Wan'er say that you are here......"

With a magnetic male voice, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Chu Lingye and Xia Zining couldn't help but be stunned.

The man was also stunned when he saw the scene in the room, and when he saw Xia Zining's disheveled appearance, he had already guessed what was happening, and the thief smiled: "Brother Wang, I just saw the princess." ”

Chu Lingye's expression turned pale: "Ling Dong, what did you say?" ”

"I said, I seem to have seen a dead princess, I know it's unlikely, but it's really like, it's exactly the same."

"Where are you?" Chu Lingye's voice suddenly trembled.

In the accident a year ago, the two carriages and everyone in the carriage were burned beyond recognition, and Chu Lingye could only distinguish that there was a woman inside, but from various inferences, Chu Lingye knew that it was An Xin.

Occasionally, however, he wondered if there might be a miracle, maybe she wasn't dead at all, but someone had actually saved her and replaced her with another woman's corpse......

However, he knew that it was just him deceiving himself.

And now, someone really told him that she was still alive!

"Brother Wang, shall I take you to meet her?"

The man glanced at Xia Zining and chuckled.

"Yes!"

Chu Lingye responded solemnly, turned around to walk out, took a step, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly turned around and grabbed Xia Zining's arm: "You go with this king!" ”

……

Hurry out of the palace and head west, straight into the secluded wilderness.

"Brother Wang, this is it!"

Chu Lingdong pointed to a distance of nearly 100 meters in front of him, a small two-story building with white walls and black tiles stood alone next to the stream and outside the small forest.

Isn't that where my sister and Lu Xiao live?

"What are you doing here?" Zi Ning couldn't help but ask.

"Looking for the princess."

Chu Lingdong, who was sitting next to Zi Ning, smiled heartily, he was Chu Lingye's cousin, he peeked at Zi Ning a lot along the way, but until now, he didn't see where this little woman was outstanding, she could be taken by Mo Ziming, and when he entered the door, he seemed to see Chu Lingye treating her......

Zi Ning was puzzled: "Isn't she dead?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard "Knock! With a sound, she couldn't help but look up, only to see Chu Lingye get out of the carriage with a gloomy face, and shook his hand and slammed down the curtain of the carriage.

"Don't mention the princess in front of the royal brother, especially don't mention her death." Chu Lingdong squinted at Zi Ning with narrow light blue eyes, and lowered his voice like a thief: "Go down." ”

Chu Lingdong lifted the curtain lightly, and quietly waited for Zi Ning to get out of the carriage before following.

"Thank you."

Zi Ning smiled politely, she could judge from the conversation between Chu Lingye and Chu Lingdong that Chu Lingdong was Chu Lingye's younger brother, but the personalities of the two were completely different, if Chu Lingye was a piece of cold ice, then Chu Lingdong was an uncarved piece of jade, warm but innocent and evil.

"Hey, will you stay in the palace after you and Mo Ziming get married?"

"No, I won't." She said absent-mindedly because she saw Chu Lingye knocking on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Chu Lingye stood outside the glass-like white gate, his face slightly cold.

Not believing in miracles, but what if? If she's really alive......

"Who?"

There was a faint voice from inside, although it was separated by the door, it was also clear and familiar, exactly the same as An Xin's voice at the beginning!

He pursed his thin lips, and his magnetic voice was slightly excited: "It's me." ”

"Who?"

"I, Chu Lingye." His voice trembled.

The door creaked open, and the woman in the wheelchair raised her head slightly, calmly looking at the tall man in front of her.

Lowering her eyes and seeing her face clearly, at this moment, Chu Lingye's heart seemed to stop beating: "Xin'er, since you are still alive, why are you avoiding me?" ”

It's her, even if he doesn't recognize the woman in the world, he still remembers this woman - her former princess!

Leaning over and staring deeply at the face that had been entangled in his dream for a year, Chu Lingye's tall body trembled faintly.

But in the face of him, she didn't change her face, she looked at him silently, her eyes were cold and silent, as if she was looking at a ridiculous stranger: "Lord Wang, are you so rude to anyone?" ”

Lord Wang, too estranged title!

The ink-colored eyes tightened, and Chu Lingye's heart suddenly swelled with strong frustration, and suddenly grabbed her slender arm: "You remember me, you obviously remember me, don't you?" Xin'er, I didn't treat you well at the beginning, but I regret it, please don't be like this, okay? ”

The man in front of him had sincere eyes, an excited voice, and even his hands holding her were trembling, he used to think that he was not good to An Xin and that there was no her in his heart at all, but how could he behave like this at this time? Zi Yan's eyes couldn't help but flicker a trace of surprise.

However, after all, he didn't have a good impression of him, so he shook off his hands indifferently and looked at him coldly: "Lord Wang, please pay attention to your behavior, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”

The more indifferent tone was like a ruthless knife, cutting Chu Lingye's heart fiercely, and he frowned painfully: "I know that you resent me and hate me, so you pretend not to know me, I know, Xin'er, you are lying to me, let's go back to the palace, okay?" ”

The trembling right hand excitedly and uncontrollably grabbed her right hand, trying to pull her up, only to find that her legs could not move, he laughed helplessly: "Hehehe, it must have been that accident that injured your legs, it doesn't matter, Xin'er, I will take care of you, I will hold you, let's go home ......"

In the murmur, he leaned over to hug Xia Ziyan.

"Don't touch me......" Before Zi Yan's words fell, her body shook, and she had already been hugged by him.

Is this man stupid or stupid? But she was already unconscious from the leg down, and with the strength of her hands, she had no strength to resist at all, and she couldn't cry or laugh:

"Lord Wang, I'm not the person you're looking for, your princess died a year ago, please see the facts."

"Don't make a fuss, my princess." Chu Lingye was excited and happy, what she said showed that she knew everything, and she was angry with him.

He quickened his pace and walked forward, and just after he got down the stone steps, a petite figure blocked his way.
