Chapter 36: Superfluous Existence
Entering the account, she stared at the woman with her eyes closed next to her with her residual light, and the bitterness in her heart surged up bit by bit, lingering.
There are some things that she knows clearly, but she is still confused and deeply trapped in it
She, like other women, gave her heart to a man and never got it back, even though he didn't want it and didn't care about it.
However, at this time, the woman had already opened her eyes, and her half-closed eyes made it impossible to see what kind of brilliance was under those eyes at the moment.
The long whip outside the carriage was raised, and slowly left the crowd, and when the carriage brushed against the kneeling man, a soft voice slowly overflowed from the carriage:
"Lord Yin has to remember, if Lord Yin doesn't come to the palace, the palace will also send someone to invite Lord Yin, Lord Yin must be fully prepared, if there is a trace of dissatisfaction with the palace, Lord Yin should know what the law of the country is"
The sudden sound made this Lord Yin's whole body tremble, and he hurriedly kowtowed and responded: "Humble, humble and obey orders"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horses' hooves melted into the wheels and drove in the direction of the palace with a puff of dust.
The third princess of Weiguo, no, it should be said that the queen of Xiling actually returned to Weiguo in micro-service, and taught a bully on the street of Jingyi, this rumor spread ten, ten to hundred, before Nangong Luojing stepped into the palace, it spread throughout the entire Jingyi City, not to mention, it is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the capital of the country, where talents gather, and this news soon also reached the ears of the high-ranking people above the high hall.
All this is too high-profile, Nangong Luojing had already expected what the outcome of the matter would be, but she was far from expecting that her appearance would be regarded as a conspiracy for power.
Thinking about what the outcome would be, Nangong Luo Jing chose the sparsely populated north gate of the palace to enter, but he didn't expect that the four parts of the palace had already been arranged with strict guards.
"Princess" called softly, with a hint of obvious alertness.
"Yin, why did you stop" In the carriage, Nangong Luojing's eyes were tightly closed, and her face was tiredness that was difficult to hide, she was really tired, how could she never have thought that she had just returned to Weiguo, and she would encounter such a thing, at this moment, she just wanted to return to the palace quickly, not to be able to rest, just to figure out how much of what she saw and heard today was true or false.
Yin She still called him like this, which actually gave him a misty illusion.
She, is she still her, what has not changed is the appearance, what has become of it The rumors and gossip are too hurtful, although he firmly believes that she is not what is rumored, but he still has no way not to think about it, perhaps, his heart is not as he thinks about her
"Yin" evoked again, she didn't know the struggle in the heart of the man across the curtain at this moment, she just wanted to know the reason why the carriage stopped.
Summoned back to his thoughts that had long been deviated from by the light call, Feng Yin gathered his thoughts, looked at the front with fixed eyes, and replied: "Princess Qiyu, it's the eldest princess" When he confided in this sentence, Feng Yin's heart was also as uneasy as before, but it was also the same as before, he couldn't do anything, he couldn't solve anything for her
"Sister Wang" groaned softly, and the light veil in front of her could faintly reveal that there was a group of guards standing in front of the north gate, and standing in front of them was the woman who made her feel very strange, her Sister Wang.
Qin Yue, who was sitting next to her, also saw the woman dressed in yellow at a glance, and there was an indescribable worry in her heart.
Those who came were not good, these four words were the only ones she could think of.
"Feng Yin has seen the eldest princess" By the time Nangong Luo Jing made any decision, the woman in front of the palace gate had already come towards the carriage.
Feng Yin stood in front of her, bowed deeply, and stopped Nangong Ling, who wanted to move forward, before she made any moves.
"The wind guards are really loyal" Nangong Ling glanced at Feng Yin, stopped taking a step forward, but the next moment, he didn't look at the man again, but instead stared at the woman in the carriage.
In that carriage was her sister, who was married far away, and the only woman she hated in her life.
"Why does my sister think it's necessary for us to talk through the curtain like this?" The cold voice fell, and no one around heard that there was really a meaning in the voice.
"Sister said and laughed, although it is a curtain away, how can it affect the brotherhood between you and my sister" Nangong Luo Jing opened her mouth, and the compliment in her words made her feel too fake.
The words fell, but I saw that the woman's hand had already stretched out to the side of the light yarn, and she said in her mouth: "Sister hasn't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm."
The people outside the curtain couldn't see the expressions of the people inside the curtain when they said those words, but Qin Yue could see it clearly.
There was a hint of a smile on her soft lips, a very helpless smile, which made people feel sorry for this woman unconsciously.
Everyone could see that the comer was not good, and she must know this better than anyone else, but she always had a smile on her face, and that smile hid too much emotion for her to see.
"My sister can be regarded as showing up" Nangong Ling looked at the woman sitting on the carriage, and felt a sense of discomfort in her heart, the woman who had not been seen for more than a year was still as beautiful as before, or even more so than before, making her jealous, extremely jealous: "How can my sister inform Sister Wang when she returns to the palace, so she returns in a small way, people who don't know still think that Sister Wang was deposed by the King of the West and fled back in a hurry" Nangong Ling smiled lightly, staring at Nangong Luojing's eyes full of mockery at the moment.
When she heard the news that she had left the palace without permission, she was also very puzzled, and specially ordered someone to find out the authenticity of the news, but she didn't expect that everything was true, and there was no deviation from what she saw today.
Nangong Luo Jing saw Nangong Ling was a woman who was staring at her with her lips hooked at the moment, and met the eyes that were staring at her, she couldn't see the brilliance at the bottom of those eyes, but she saw a trace of coldness in her eyes at a certain moment.
"Sister Lao Wang is concerned" She was dumbfounded, in the face of everything about him, she was never able to deal with it comfortably, they should have heard the rumors that she escaped from the West Palace that day, and the rumors that entered Nangong Ling's ears would not be beautified, she was not surprised that Nangong Ling would ridicule herself about this matter.
Facts are facts, and she has nothing to argue about.
It's just that her heart hurts, and at such a time, her sister will stand aside like a bystander and taunt herself in front of her with extremely sarcastic words.
She never asked for any comfort from Nangong Ling, she just begged that no one would come to reveal her scars, the pain in the wound had always been there, and she couldn't stand anyone sprinkling salt on the existing wound.
"Princess, please stop," an incomparably familiar voice fell next to his ear, but that voice contained extreme indifference.
"Enough is enough, Wind Guard, who do you think you are talking to now," he still defended her in every way, just as a year ago, as many years ago, even if he stood in front of him now, he only had that person in his eyes.
Feng Yin understands it, it's just that the princess is too aggressive" The hand curled up in his sleeve was clenched tightly, as a guard, he knew that the following was taboo, and he had already forgotten it at the moment, and he had forgotten it completely.
"Fengyin, step down" Nangong Luo Jing got up, her eyes stared at the flame in Nangong Ling's eyes, her heart was also tight, but her face was unusually calm, "Sister Wang is just straightforward, and there is no malice"
"Yes, Sister Wang is right, this palace is straightforward" looked at Nangong Luo Jing with deep meaning in her eyes, and then said behind her: "Why, what are you all stunned to do and don't you want to see the beloved sister of this palace, the queen of Xiling" full of sarcastic words, regardless of sisterly feelings, and counted Nangong Luo Jing in public.
When the words fell, Nangong Luojing only felt a burst of sadness in her heart, and it was difficult to contain her sadness.
Looking at the group of guards and palace people who bowed down to her, she really understood what irony was and what was sadistic heartache.
And the person who put her in such a predicament was the man who promised her life
Irony, really irony.
She raised her eyes and smiled, and in her smile, her eyes were cold and cold and desperate, and everyone's eyes stopped on the woman with a stunning appearance.
I saw Nangong Luo Jing slowly get out of the carriage with Qin Yue's support, and walked lightly towards the woman standing in front of the carriage, at that moment, everyone held their breath, even Qin Yue who was standing next to Nangong Luo Jing, even though she was the closest, but she was also full of doubts like them.
In a few minutes, Nangong Luo Jing was already standing in front of Nangong Ling, Feng Yin stepped back slightly, although he wanted to speak, he still rested, so he had to stand aside and look at the woman in a daze, and approached the person who wanted to hurt her step by step.
Looking at the woman who was slowly approaching her, Nangong Ling was also slightly stunned, but the next moment, when she heard Nangong Luojing's words, the expression on her face instantly froze again.
"Luo Jing is here to thank Sister Wang for her personal greeting" The voice was slight to the extreme, with a trace of coldness, so slight that only the two people on the side could hear: "Just advise Sister Wang, some things should not be done too much, and some bottom lines have been crossed, and they will never be tolerated again."
The words of hatred were cold and warm, and Nangong Ling only felt an evil chill running up her body, which made her shiver, and this sentence really gave her a slap in the face.
This sentence also made the body of the man standing on the sidelines and watching them stiffen a little instantly.
The change in this woman surprised him, she was still weak on the outside, but what she said was extremely dangerous and made people tremble, even him.
"Heh" Nangong Ling had to admit that she was indeed a little frightened by those words just now, but she Nangong Luojing inevitably underestimated her too much, thinking that if she left such a sentence, she Nangong Ling would obediently let her threaten her, what kind of joke: "Sister Wang really underestimated Sister Wang, do you think that today I will give you the opportunity to let you step into the palace?"
"Sister Wang wants to stop it" She sneered lightly: "I'm afraid that no one can stop Luo Jing's heart from entering the palace today."
"Nangong Luojing, today, you should know your identity clearly, since you have married a woman from another country, you have no right to step into the palace again, this is the ancestral training" At this moment, Nangong Ling was glad that the clear words in the ancestral training were clearly written, and his slightly angry face gradually eased a little.
Nangong Ling stared at Nangong Luojing with a smug face, and was about to wait for how she would respond to her words, but at some point, a young man dressed in bright yellow behind her had already appeared behind her with a straight face.
"Sister Wang" The slightly immature voice sounded behind him, and at that moment, Nangong Ling's face was a little strange, but the next moment, it still changed back to that indifferent face.
Nangong Luo Jing looked at the young man who suddenly appeared behind Nangong Ling, and another face that was more immature than the one in front of him immediately appeared in his mind, and his heart became a little clearer in an instant.
"Heng'er" inadvertently called out his mouth, Nangong Luo Jing looked at the long-lost face in front of him, and was sincerely happy.
still remembers the day she left the palace, this young man's crying red eyes, at that moment, she was really moved by the affection of family.
In this year in Xiling, in addition to her father, this young man is the only person she cares about.
At this moment, he stood in front of him, and she was really happy.
It's just that when those eyes met her own eyes, she was deeply struck by the indifference in those eyes, the clear eyes of the past, but at this moment, it seems that they are long gone, and what is left is the indifference that does not match the age of this teenager
The fire that ignited in Nangong Luo Jing's heart was instantly watered with cold water.
At the moment when the flame of "Sister Jing'er" in Nangong Luojing's heart was about to be extinguished, the coldness in the young man's eyes was reduced by a few points, and a little unrevealing joy was dyed from those eyes, and when he heard the call, Nangong Luojing's heart was relieved.
At the moment when Nangong Heng was about to run to Nangong Luojing, Nangong Ling grabbed him tightly, half-squatted and asked, "Heng'er, didn't Sister Wang let you practice calligraphy in the study, why did you come out?"
"Sister Wang, Heng'er is so tired, so tired, don't read, don't practice calligraphy" Nangong Heng's face was full of grievances on his face, which made people feel a little unbearable to see this child who was only eleven or twelve years old having to endure so much at such a young age.
"Why didn't Sister Wang tell Heng'er that Sister Jing'er is back" The young man stretched out his index finger and pointed at Nangong Luo Jing and said, his little face full of doubts lost the coldness that Nangong Luo Jing saw just now, and he was already a well-behaved and tender child at this moment.
"Sister Wang didn't tell Heng'er because she wanted to give Heng'er a surprise" Nangong Ling took Heng'er's hand and patted it gently: "Heng'er is not well-behaved, she actually ran out without permission, be careful that Sister Wang goes to her father to report to the king."
Nangong Heng scratched his head and smiled, and said coquettishly: "Good Sister Wang, Heng'er listens to Sister Wang's words the most, as long as Sister Wang doesn't say it, Heng'er will go to practice calligraphy right away."
"Heng'er is the most well-behaved" Nangong Ling listened to what Nangong Heng said, and the smile on his face couldn't help but overflow.
The two who were smiling at each other didn't take into account the feelings of the woman next to them.
Nangong Luojing was isolated by them alone, staring at the scene of sister-brother love in front of her with a blank face, and her heart was full of sadness.
Now she is like a superfluous person, excluded from their world, and she can only look at it like this, without a trace of feeling.
