Ning Wanshu looked at the handsome face in front of her, and reacted suddenly, she hurriedly withdrew her hand, blushed slightly, and said weakly: "I hope Your Highness will forgive me, it is the concubine who is in a hurry." ”

Huo Jingcheng was useless and said, "Well, why are you here?" ”

Speaking of business, Ning Wanshu showed a sad look again, and said sadly: "Your Highness, the concubine doesn't want to go to Changxuan City!" ”

"Oh? So how do you want to? Huo Jingcheng raised his sword eyebrows slightly and asked.

Ning Wanshu cocked her orchid finger and wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, and said: "Your Highness, as we all know, the princes of Beiyue are dissatisfied with King Beizhong, and they go to Changxuan City, King Xuan is hindering His Highness's face, so naturally he will not take the body of King Beizhong, but the concubine is a woman, without the protection of her husband, how can she have a foothold there." ”

Huo Jingcheng thought for a while and said, "Well, it's also reasonable." Left and right you are the side concubines of the king of Beizhong, it doesn't matter if you go with him or not, if you want, this palace can give you freedom, let you out of the camp, and you go by yourself. ”

"Don't!" Ning Wanshu blurted out.

When Huo Jingcheng heard this, his sword eyebrows furrowed: "Then what do you want?" ”

"Concubine...... The concubine wanted to stay in the barracks. Ning Wanshu said softly.

"Huh!" Huo Jingcheng couldn't help but sneer: "Sooner or later, the army of this palace will be pulled back to Nanqian, what are you staying for?" ”

Ning Wanshu stopped talking, and wept silently.

Seeing this, Huo Jingcheng was confused, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly understood something, so the corners of his lips slowly hooked a smile: "Say, are you in love with Qiao Fengzhi or Du Yan?" ”

When Ning Wanshu heard this, her pale pretty face immediately turned half red, she lowered her beautiful eyes, and said in a fluttering voice: "Couldn't it be His Highness?" ”

When the words fell, he only heard a "poof", and Qin An, who was standing on the side, suddenly laughed. As soon as he said this, Ning Wanshu's pretty face became more and more red.

Huo Jingcheng was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He raised his head and glared at Qin An: "Get out." ”

"Yes." Qin An held back a smile, lifted the curtain and fled.

The tent was quiet again, except for the sound of the rain. Ning Wanshu was still kneeling on the ground and lowered her eyes, her heart was like a drum.

In the silence, Huo Jingcheng's unwavering voice finally came from overhead: "So, do you want to follow the main hall?" ”

Ning Wanshu slowly raised her head, looked at him with a pair of faint and beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Your Highness, the concubine knows that the concubine is married and is not worthy of being His Highness's woman." It's just the love of the world, and it won't follow the word "reason". Although the concubine is the concubine of the king of Beizhong, she has never been emotional, and even when she entered the palace, her father sent the concubine into the palace in order to please Empress Du, so he insisted on sending the concubine into the palace and letting the concubine be Empress Du's helper in the harem to eradicate dissidents. The concubine has lived for twenty-three years, but she never can't help but make her own decisions. It wasn't until last night's banquet that the concubine saw His Royal Highness and glanced at it that she realized that men in the world could be so beautiful. can make people, and the concubine is already someone else's wife, so she can only hide this love. It wasn't until last night that King Beizhong suddenly committed suicide, and the concubine wondered if God was finally willing to pity the concubine once, so he gave the concubine such a chance......"

Huo Jingcheng listened, and his heartstrings moved slightly. He knew that the woman in front of him was honest, and this kind of honesty and expression was indeed easier for him to impress than other women who loved him.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand to her and said softly, "It's cold on the ground, let's get up and talk first." ”

Ning Wanshu looked at him in surprise, and her pretty crimson face became more and more charming. She gently stretched out her white hand and slowly lowered it into his wide palm.

Huo Jingcheng helped her up, a pair of deep and unknown handsome eyes lingered on her a few times, and then he left the bed and paced back and forth on the ground for a few steps, before he said slowly: "This hall does like beauties, especially poor beauties. It's just that the main hall will not refuse to come. You are the concubine of the king, and if this palace wants you, it will be very troublesome. ”

Ning Wanshu listened, and her heart, which was slightly hot, cooled down again. His words were vague, but he also saved her face, and he didn't say it too clearly. But the meaning of that could not be clearer. She is the concubine of the king, and now she has become a widow, he is so noble, if he wants her, it will be bad for his reputation, and he will even be ridiculed.

After thinking about it, Ning Wanshu shed a tear, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the concubine understands." His Royal Highness is in a high position, and there are times when he is helpless. The concubine fell in love with you at first sight, even if she was humble, but what she wanted in her heart was not humble, and the concubine also wanted to ask for the person she loved would be sincere to herself, and she would eliminate difficulties and stay together. Since His Royal Highness doesn't dare, then the concubine body will not be persistent. Your Highness is a concubine, and she has not been here today. As for the way of the concubine's body, the sad place of North Vietnam cannot be left. I hope that His Royal Highness can take the concubine to Nangan together, he will come to Nangan one day, and the concubine will choose a pure place to become a nun, and often accompany the ancient Buddha of the green lantern for this life. The concubine retired. ”

After that, Ning Wanshu wiped away her tears, saluted, turned around and left.

Just as she was about to lift the curtains, his voice suddenly came: "Wait. ”

Ning Wanshu paused, slowly put down her hand and turned to look at him, tears on her face.

Huo Jingcheng seemed to be smiling, and walked towards her step by step, his tall figure stopped in front of her, clearly blocking her vision, but she felt for no reason that she saw thousands of rays of light.

He pinched her chin and lifted her pretty face, and said, "Tell the main hall that it sounds good before leaving." A mere little woman, dare to use the agitation method against the main hall? Do you know that this temple does not dare to bear the infamy for a woman, but it is not yet worth it, let alone willingly. ”

Ning Wanshu listened to it and smiled bitterly: "Yes, Your Highness just doesn't want to be a concubine, the concubine understands, it is a concubine's gaffe, I hope Your Highness will forgive me." ”

Huo Jingcheng was satisfied, let go of her and took a few steps back, and looked at her with his arms crossed: "Are you really willing to go to Nanqian to become a nun?" ”

Ning Wanshu lowered her eyes and asked, "Other than that, there is no other way for the concubine to be a concubine, isn't it?" ”

"Okay, as you wish, go ahead." Huo Jingcheng's tone was indifferent.

Ning Wanshu listened, her heart was as cold as water, and she bowed silently and left.

With a "bang", the rain outside became heavier, and the noisy sound of rain muffled a woman's hopeless crying.

After a while, Qin An opened the curtain again and came in, and said, "Your Highness, the concubine of the King of Beizhong ran away crying. ”

Huo Jingcheng didn't answer, continued to lean on the bed, picked up the book next to the pillow and looked at it, and said, "Qin An, take care of today's affairs for the main hall, do you know?" ”

Qin An hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the slave knows." ”

Huo Jingcheng stared at the pages of the book and said leisurely: "Well, be quiet, don't disturb the main hall to read, this book is getting more and more exciting." ”

……

The rain continued until noon and did not stop.

Yao Duran was bored in the tent, and after lunch, she was ready to re-embroider a sachet to pass the time. After a while, Lu Yan came back with an umbrella, bringing in a trace of rain vapor, she didn't care, and said happily while collecting the umbrella: "Madam, it's okay, the slave finally found you a Hetian jade line." Look, isn't this the color? ”

Yao Duran looked into her hand and saw that it was a roll of silk thread. Yao Duran was happy for a moment and said, "Yes, yes." Embroidering silk with this thread is the most beautiful, where did you find it? Did you give money to anyone? ”

Lu Yan smiled even deeper, put down the silk thread, took out the silver ingot in his sleeve and handed it to her, and said, "Madam, we took advantage of it today." ”

"What's going on? How did you get this money back intact? Yao Duran asked.

Lu Yan explained: "The slave and maid listened to you, and went to ask several acquaintances and maids, and if they had any of them, they would buy a scroll of this silk thread. But the slave and maid asked several maids, and none of them had the silk thread you wanted. Who knew that she happened to meet the concubine of the king of Beizhong to send the coffin of the king of Beizhong out of the camp, she saw that the slave and maid were looking for this silk thread, so she said that she had it in her hand, so she ordered her maid Qiu Yan to return to the account and get a scroll for the slave and maid, and the slave and maid gave her money, and she didn't want it, saying that she was so close to you, and what did you do with the money. The slave had no choice but to return. ”

Yao Duran was surprised after hearing this: "Ning Wanshu? She sent the coffin of King Beizhong out of the camp? Isn't she going to go to Changxuan City with the coffin of King Beizhong? ”

Lu Yan whispered: "Madam, the slave maid heard what Qiu Yan said, the concubine of the king of Beizhong did not want to stay in the sad place of Beiyue, so she asked for the grace of His Royal Highness, and wanted to stay and go to Nanqian with us. ”

"Oh?" Yao Duran became more and more surprised, is this all she wants for such a smart and exquisite beauty? The death of Xiahou Bo can really make her all her thoughts discouraged, does she have the idea of escaping into the empty door? As far as she knew, she didn't really love that Xiahou Bo.

Sure enough, the exquisite beauty of the heart is like a fog.

Yao Duran thought about it, picked up the silk thread and threaded the needle, and said, "Lu Yan, you can take this money." ”

"Ma'am?" Green Diaphragm was a little embarrassed.

Yao Duran looked up at her and said with a smile: "Are you polite with me?" Take it. By the way, the coffin of King Beizhong has just set off? ”

Lu Yan said: "Hmm. A group of soldiers escorted them to the depart, and I heard that they also carried a handwritten letter from His Royal Highness to King Xuan. ”

Yao Duran said lightly: "Well, it's good to go." His Holiness is really resolute in his work, and it seems that we will not be able to delay a few days when we return to Nanqian, and we may be able to set off tomorrow. ”

She suddenly calmed down, and then carefully put down the needle, stitch by stitch on the white plain brocade.

At night, the rain is still wispling. After Yao Duran washed, his eyes became a little astringent, so he said to Lu Yan: "Lu Yan, you can also go back to the tent to rest." You live with a few maids on weekdays, remember not to say anything in front of them, because if you say too much, you will lose. ”

"Yes, ma'am, don't worry." Lu Yan agreed, waited for her to go to bed, and when she was about to turn off the lights, Yao Duran said, "Keep one of them." ”

The lamps and candles gradually went out, and the tent became darker and darker, and the only remaining lamp and candle was also placed on the table a little farther away, retaining a corner of light.

Yao Duran lay down for a while, listened to the gentle rain, and quickly fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept this night, Yao Duran actually had a nightmare, and she was so frightened that she had nowhere to hide in her dream, and finally woke up with a sweat. She opened her eyes in a daze, and suddenly saw a dark figure sitting on the edge of her bed with her back to the light. With just one glance, her heart was shocked in an instant, and her three souls went to two and a half souls.
