Ji Hongye knew from the beginning that Nalan Jinxiu was lying, she often did this to eat bird's nest, but she didn't use it every morning when she got up.

When she lied casually in this calm state, it was when she became defensive and began to protect her normal reactions. He reached out and patted her hand on his knee, intending to reassure her not to be afraid.

Zong Xuanyi looked at the small movements between the two of them, and asked as if unintentionally, "Isn't it because adding other ingredients will rob the taste of bird's nest?"

"Bird's nest doesn't have any taste in the first place, but what you do makes it taste. ”

Zong Xuanyi didn't speak, just stared at her. This little girl is really like her, her low-eyed appearance seems to be obedient, but her eyes betray her, very stubborn and clear, neither humble nor arrogant.

He suddenly felt a little interesting, she should be glad that she was Ji Hongye's person, and she should also be glad that he was keeping filial piety for his deceased wife. Shouxiao, his identity should not have done this kind of thing for women, this is just an excuse he uses to block others.

Knowing that he had become a widower, almost everyone sent people to him, including officials large and small in the court, and even royal relatives and nobles. Of course, it's not all about really pleasing him, some just want to put eyes and ears around him.

However, if he likes it, just stay by his side, just guard against it, and even reveal the news he wants others to know. It's just that he doesn't like all the people who were sent. Delicate, glamorous, and beautiful...... No matter what kind of peerless beauty, there is a way to make him pretend.

He is not a person who values affection, for Liu Jingxian, and for Nalan Jinxiu. But since his wife left, he found that even if he didn't want to waste time on the relationship between men and women, he still had affection for her, very deep and heavy. Without her, he was even more diluted in this regard.

Zong Xuanyi's eyes were extremely invasive, and now he was in a high position and power, and he no longer concealed his emotions at all. Nalan Jinxiu was numb by him, to be honest, even if she was reborn once, she was still afraid, this was her nightmare-like person.

Ji Hongye stood up and walked over, blocking Zong Xuanyi's sight with his body. He looked down at Nalan Jinxiu, and the little girl also looked up at him, her eyes were clear and moist, full of dependence and worry. He smiled at her, reached out and rubbed her head, and said gently, "Go inside and wait for me." ”

Nalan Jinxiu obediently entered the inner room. After watching her go in, Ji Hongye turned around and said to Zong Xuanyi: "Lord Xiangguo, since you want to dine with Xiaguan, then please." ”

Zong Xuanyi smiled secretly, at first someone told him that Ji Hongye was an ambitious person, and he disdained it. It is a good thing to have ambition, and only those who have ambition can take on great responsibilities and be used by him.

It's a pity that his mental strength is still a little worse, and the movement that came out a few days ago has made many people covet him. Therefore, he didn't plan to make a move, just waiting for the Shanghai mussels to compete and the fishermen to profit.

However, the girl really aroused his emotions, reminded him of many things in the past, or maybe those things were never forgotten, but he did not allow himself to always remember them.

His wife, the woman he loved, Nalan Jinxiu, died and would never return. A faint pain spread across the tip of his heart, and slowly spread to his limbs......

Time passed slowly, the pain did not stop, Zong Xuanyi got up and left. Thinking indifferently: even if this girl resembles her in some places, she is not her after all. She had gone in his arms, and now she was lying in the cold cemetery, alone waiting for him, waiting for their reunion.

"Xiangguo, Jin Gongzi is still waiting for you. Chen Zhi reminded that they came to Yetan Tower to talk about things with this golden prince.

"I'm tired, let him come back another day. After getting into the carriage, Zong Xuanyi closed his eyes for a while, and suddenly said, "Go to the cemetery." ”

"Yes. Chen Zhi sent the driver and drove the car himself. The cemetery where Xiangye is going is the cemetery of the Zongjia family, and the person who wants to worship should be the first wife. He has been following Xiangye for a long time, so long that he can't remember how many years, he only knows that he was by his side when he remembered.

Xiangye has been working hard since he was a child, and he has * in his daily life, and he doesn't even have a maid by his side. In addition to reading and doing things on weekdays, there is nothing that can make him care, if he has to say that he has something to cherish, it may be the first lady.

Only when he is with her, Xiangye will let people make the food more exquisite, bring some novelties home, and will he be like a normal person, and he will ...... Laugh.

Yes, Xiangye never smiled, and now he is even more embarrassed.

I remembered that after his wife passed away, Xiangye locked himself in the bedroom, and did not enter the water and rice for seven days and seven nights, and finally he broke into the door and brought out the fainting Xiangye. Since then, Xiangye has never returned to the bedroom, and his diet and daily life have been moved to the study, presumably because he is afraid of seeing things and thinking about people.

It was only in the past few days that I began to ask about some things in the court, but my body was easily tired, and I spent more time asleep than when I was awake. The whole person is even thinner, which makes them really worried about being subordinates, and they have no bottom in their hearts, so they can only serve more and more carefully.

The Zong family was once accused of rebellion, and many people not only didn't know where the bones were, but they couldn't even find something they used before their death. The current cemetery was built by Zong Xuanyi, and it was all according to the name on the family tree, and an empty tomb was erected, not even a clothed tomb.

The cemetery is not luxuriously built, and it is not even comparable to that of some rich and noble families. But Zong Xuanyi didn't care about this, if he hadn't promised his father at the beginning, he would definitely not do these useless things. Even if the cemetery is built and the ancestral hall is established, those dead relatives will not come back to life.

He asked Chen Zhi to wait outside and go to see her alone. The words on the tombstone stung his eyes, and he touched them with trembling hands, as if caressing her. Her eyebrows are well grown, like a crescent moon, and they look sweet and soft.

In the past, he liked to rub his fingers against her eyebrows, and she always smiled and called him "Brother Jiu" softly. Now, she will never appear next to him again, and in this tomb, there are only Sensen's bones......

There was a sharp tearing pain in his chest, he leaned against the tombstone, covering his chest tightly with his hands, and there were water stains spreading across his cheeks, which was a very bitter and painful taste.

You have asked me, does this hurt you?

After you leave, I will live and die every day. For the first time, I began to wonder, is it worth it to take revenge, let Nalan Yanzhang's family ruin, and let him suffer the pain I had at the beginning?

You know what? I hate myself. I hate myself for falling in love with you when I was playing. But I'm glad that person is you, so good, so good you.

I dare not think of you, a crazy longing followed by a bone-chilling fear. In my midnight dream, I never saw you smile at me, never heard you call me Brother Jiu, but I saw it again and again, and the arrow pierced you.

Your clothes are stained with blood and mixed with tears, like an ocean, so that I can't get out, and I can only bear the pain of drowning over and over again......

——

Hearing Zong Xuanyi go out, the string that Nalan Jinxiu was tightening was released. As soon as I relaxed, I found that my knees were weak, so I could only go to sit on the couch, and even my body was trembling uncontrollably.

If she doesn't hate Zong Xuanyi, I'm afraid she won't even be able to convince herself. She was angry, sad, desperate, and in the end, all her emotions were soothed by time. She was afraid to see him, afraid to see anyone Nalan Jinxiu knew, afraid to remember what had happened.

That would seem to make that memory come out of my mind and become vivid. Not everything can be put down if you want to. When she couldn't remember, she told herself that she was Xu Jinsheng, and everything about Nalan Jinxiu was already in the past, and as long as she didn't touch it, she wouldn't be in pain.

And now that she saw Zong Xuanyi, her fear, worry, and outright hatred surged. Yes, she hated him. She once thought that it was tiring to hate someone, and she only wanted to live and never see each other. But people can't live like water, love is hard to give up, and hate is even more difficult to give up.

"Why do you have to be in my life, why can't I get rid of you even if I live again?" she muttered to herself, feeling a splitting headache.

The past appears clearly in my mind like this.

Five years ago, on the day Nalan Jinxiu married Zong Xuanyi, the streets of Jinling City were blocked. Many people are admiring it, in order to be able to see the figure of this famous No. 1 beauty in Kyoto from a distance, and also for her identity, the only pearl in the palm of Taifu Nalan Yanzhang.

She is the legend of Ning Guo, not only has a peerless appearance, but is also proficient in the art of Qihuang at a young age. Three years ago, the plague was raging, and doctors all over the country could not come up with effective prescriptions, and seeing more and more people dying, the entire Jinling City was wrapped in the breath of death.

At the age of twelve, she showed her talent for the first time. A prescription made of six flavors of poison was handed to the Imperial Palace, which was controversial.

The senior doctors of the Tai Hospital collectively took off their black gauze hats, and kept accusing that the plague still has hope of being controlled, and any of these six poisonous poisons can be fatal if they are extracted at will. As everyone knows, poison and medicine are of the same origin, and if you use it well, it can become a good medicine, and if you don't use it well, it can become a poison.

At a very young age, she was born noble and loved by her parents, with the sharpness of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. I found medicinal herbs in the Tai Hospital and fried them myself, and drank them in front of everyone, and the result was naturally safe. The prescription was tried, and the plague was quickly cured, saving the entire Ning Kingdom. Because of her beautiful appearance, it is rumored in the market that she is the reincarnation of a goddess who saves people from the sea of suffering.

Since then, all the people of Jinling City have worshiped her as a god. When today's son is even more Yubi personally named her "Ning'an County Lord", "Ning'an" is also the meaning of "Ningguo Stability", and you can see the supreme dignity from the title.
