6. Nangong Ming: Death

"Lord Nangong, my emperor is still young," the black-clothed man with fat head and big ears sneered, the blue characters on his cheeks were uglyly distorted by laughter, and he humbly persuaded him in a suppressed voice, "If there is anything wrong with him, please forgive and correct the adults, and the adults will also wholeheartedly assist the adults in their discipline, don't be angry." Beside him, the person who came to intercede was a thin white-robed Xuanshu with a calm expression.

Nangong Ming looked at Huang Ji unmoved. He thought earlier that Li Yu had also died under the conspiracy of the Changfeng clan and the Chidan clan to transfer the tiger from the mountain, or fell into the hands of the other party, and was annoyed that there was no royal family in his hands, but this sleek and sleek man sent the little emperor back, and promised him that he would discipline this child how to be this emperor well, which was in line with his heart. But this little remnant of Li became more and more undisciplined, and dared to resist him. "Huang Yong, you are the Taifu, since you can't discipline it, then only I will take care of it personally. He replied dismissively.

"Lord Nangong," Xuan Shu on the side spoke, Nangong Ming turned his eyes to look at him, "The Divine Sect and the Imperial Family have supported each other for more than a thousand years, the last time I fell off the cliff to save my emperor, fortunately I was unharmed, and then I came to Shangdu, I don't know if Lord Nangong can let Xuan Shu share your worries with Emperor Zuowu?"

Nangong Ming pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and arched his hand: "The holy envoy is the priest of Tianmu, and he is the national teacher. However, the realm of the holy envoy is profound, and our emperor is still small and stubborn, I am afraid that he will never be able to comprehend it, so we should first set up some rules, and then hand it over to the holy envoy to teach. Now that our dynasty is in crisis, I would like to ask the holy envoy to sue the gods, issue divine will, and lead us to work together to relieve our emperor's worries and bless the people. "In the battle of the Nine Lands, the Divine Sect always has to join in the fun, but if you are the Divine Sect, which one can do it?

Xuanshu stood with his hands down, with an indifferent smile on his face, and responded to him: "The sun and the moon are long winds, the reincarnation is undulating, the gods are everywhere, I will not give up, and I will not leave." I should listen to the oracle, protect the nine lands for my emperor, and do my best to achieve the emperor's cause. ”

"Now there is a lesson from the Holy Messenger, and I should listen to it with all my heart. ”

"Lord Nangong, my emperor is chosen by the gods, but we need to be sincere and sincere to assist him, although the danger is full of dangers, but also the danger is like a disaster, although the outline often collapses, it will eventually be majestic and orderly. ”

"So, I remembered. "Xuanyuan or Li, even if he commits a crime to seize the throne, even if he is chosen by the gods?" Nangong Ming thought so, but he would not refute him like he did to others, but instead respected him, because he still had a request for Xuanshu.

"Ming is still confused, and I have to ask the holy envoy to move and explain when he has time. Nangong Ming bowed down again.

"It's okay, Xuanshu also has some things that he wants Lord Nangong to know, and if Lord Nangong knows, he may also change his mind now. ”

Nangong Ming sent a golden jade carriage to pull Xuanshu over.

Dressed in a green shirt, he stood still among the ruins for a long time, and the white-robed Xuanshu calmly walked up to him and stood. There was silence all around, except for the white horses in front of the carriage parked on the grass and the light of the horses' hooves.

Nangong Ming woke up from a dream, turned to look at Xuan Shu, and his eyes that had always been sharp and cold were now glinting.

He asked, "Dare to ask the Holy Envoy if he is a dual cultivator whose cultivation in the Nine Lands is beyond the reach of him, right?"

Xuan Shu raised the corners of his mouth lightly and said, "Xuan Shu's cultivation is shallow, but he does have double cultivation. ”

"Invite the Holy Messenger to come today, and ask not for the future, but for the marriage of a deceased deceased. ”

Xuan Shu nodded with a smile and said, "Xuan Shu may also know which old man Nangong wants to marry." ”

When Nangong Ming heard this, he asked a little timidly: "But I know that before the deceased master wants to marry someone, he should burn incense and meditate beside him shortly after the death of this person, so that he can cross his mind and make the sound of the scene in front of him, and watch and listen." At the very least, there must be a bone of this person, or something close to him, and he can still gather more people to try, right?"

"Yes. ”

"But I, this is the only thing," Nangong Ming said in a sad tone, handing Xuan Shu an old piece of paper in his hand, "Also, this is the place where she used to be day and night." ”

"Ge Sheng is covered with thorns, the vines are in the wilderness, the king is separated by the sun and the moon, and the sky of the road is far away, which is better than death and life. Yumei is here, who is alone? Summer days, winter nights, after a hundred years old, return to their dwellings. The old piece of paper, which had been wet with tears, read. After the age of 100, he returned to his residence, but she did not come back, so he came here to look for her, this is her bedroom, she used to live here, Nangong Ming even felt that she was still here.

Xuanshu took the paper, opened the list, then looked at Nangong Ming, and said indifferently: "Lord Nangong, Xuanshu can give it a try, and I want to give it a try." Although there are few belongings of the deceased, if the wish of the person seeking the knot is strong, the mystery may be formed. It's just that the matter is big, and if Xuan Shu lets Lord Nangong know about these things, maybe it will change your mind and even your fate, Lord Nangong can think clearly?"

Nangong Ming nodded firmly.

Between the ruins and broken walls, in the incense burner on the desk, incense curls up. Xuanshu asked Nangong Ming to sit down with him in front of the desk, and then held the paper in his hand, closed his eyes, and chanted softly in his mouth.

At first, Nangong Ming only felt that the incense on the desk gradually penetrated his heart and lungs, and when he heard the whispers in his ear, the wind blew through the branches and leaves of the trees, and then his mind was quiet and empty, and his eyes changed in a trance, but he didn't remember how many moments had passed.

Outside the palatial dormitory, everything was vague at first, but it became clearer and clearer until it was immersive, and it was a scene of the plane trees and the chirping of warblers and birds, like a scene in the Phoenix City.

Nangong Ming stood alone under the tree, with leaves slowly falling beside him, his eyes stared straight at the dormitory motionless, I don't know how long, his eyes went from jerky to blurry. He hadn't shed a tear for too long, and he knew who was in the palace, and it was the Chunyue King and his wife who threw him into prison and tortured him, and the people in the palace were forced to come here.

Nangong Ming stepped forward slowly, the maid at the door walked beside him, he stepped into the door of the hall, and stood at the door for a moment, tears welling up in his eyes. Under the bright light, Jin Yao in front of the case looked haggard and sad, sitting alone.

"Jin Yao, I'm here!" Nangong Ming sighed in his heart, but it was difficult to move and speak, so he had to stand in place and look at the person he was thinking about in the twilight, all kinds of infatuation in the past, and all kinds of sadness and despair, all of which were surging and churning in his mind, and the pain of tearing had not been so clear for a long time, almost making it difficult for him to stand firmly.

"Naruro," the delicate and beautiful Jin Yao raised her cheeks in front of him, her red eyes were as gentle as the warm sun, her fair and delicate cheeks were covered with a layer of crimson, shy but courageous, "Today is gone, whether it is as we wish from now on, whether we can not escape, Jin Yao's heart is only willing to accompany you." If you are alive, you and I will never forget each other, even if we become undead, we will meet and stay together. ”

"Jin Yao......" Nangong Ming called her softly, already intoxicated by this watery tenderness.

Jing Yao retracted her gaze, lowered her head slightly, and slowly raised her hand to take off her gorgeous skirt, revealing her jade-like skin, "Wulang, I have completely handed myself over to you." ”

Nangong Ming hugged her tightly into his arms, the fragrance and body temperature completely soaked him, and he leaned over to touch Jin Yao's warm lips......

It was the eve of their escape, that night, it should have been the source of firm belief when the lover stayed together for the rest of his life, but Nangong Ming was like a quenching blade that cut the scar in his heart deeper and deeper again and again, and could never be healed.

Now the sad and helpless her is in front of him, he recalls the past, mixed feelings, and the pain is unbearable.

Li Xi, who was in the Xuanjin dragon robe, stepped over the threshold and walked in beside him.

As he approached her, she turned to look at him, her face full of worry, her eyes red and swollen with crying.

Li Xi sighed and said, "He is seriously injured, but his life is fine, and I have asked someone to send him back for recuperation." No one will bring it up again. ”

When Jing Yao heard this, her worried look was much better, but the irrepressible sadness came up again, tears suddenly slipped out of her eyes, she turned her head and grieved alone.

Li Xi, who looked so mediocre in front of Jing Yao, stood in place for a while, and said, "In the past few days, I said that you have traveled a long way and are in poor health, so you don't have to go to see your father and queen mother anymore, and you don't need to pay attention to other people, so you can rest assured here." ”

Jing Yao was still silently crying, and the stupid Li Xi looked a little at a loss, so she stood still for a while, shook her head and turned around and walked away from Nangong Ming.

Nangong Ming's eyes were misty with tears, and the light and shadow in front of him were negligently weakened, and it was already night.

Jing Yao's expression in the red and gold skirt has improved a little, and her face has returned to fair and beautiful, but the deep sorrow on her face has never been resolved, and she looks at the candle flame burning in the golden phoenix candlestick on the case.

Several maids each held a rhombic bronze mirror, a red sandalwood grate, a phoenix hairpin, a Huasheng and rouge gouache around Jing Yao.

"Crown Princess, the prince is very worried about you, he has come to see you every day for several days, and he will arrive again in a few moments, please let us dress up for you, right?"

Jin Yao shook her head in disbelief and said, "I've already put on a gorgeous dress, why do I have to make up? Even if you're worried about me, why do you want me to please him?"

"No, Crown Princess...... The princess is very good, it is not like us who dare to talk too much, but the prince loves his wife very much, the princess is sad and haggard for days, and the maids are afraid that if we can't dress up for the princess, the prince will punish us for not taking good care of the princess, and ask the princess to atone for her sins. After saying this, the maids knelt down and pleaded.

Jing Yao smiled bitterly, but she had always been pure and kind-hearted, so she was at the mercy of them, and she became more and more charming and graceful for a while, like a celestial being. Nangong Ming saw it like a knife.

Li Xi stepped in, and when he saw Jin Yao, he stayed where he was, and then his joy was overflowing. He approached her, stood and looked at the indifferent Jing Yao for a while, and then sat down beside her with a smile.

The maids had already dispersed in amusement. Li Xihan smiled and said with some hesitation: "I saw you when I was in the Hitachi Reserve...... I fell in love with you at first sight...... It's just, I just don't know where you already belong. But you and I have a covenant for generations, and this marriage ...... I'm afraid it's not something that a person can disobey, and now it'...... Now that you are married, you should not be more sorrowful, I will not care about the previous things, and I will treat you sincerely in the future. ”

Treat her sincerely? You will tell her to die with you? Nangong on the side hated her.

Jing Yao, who was wearing makeup, still had a sad face, just staring at the red candle burning in front of the desk, constantly dripping wax tears, silent.

Li Xi didn't see Jing Yao's full of sadness, Xu is gorgeous clothes and red makeup covered his already stupid heart, probably thinking that Jing Yao's non-answer was acquiescence, and stared at Jing Yao's side face with more and more smiles.

The wind from nowhere blew the candle flame, swaying an increasingly unreal phantom, Li Xi excitedly raised his hand to support Jin Yao's shoulders, but Jin Yao turned his head and didn't want to look at him.

"Jin Yao, I really want to treat you well!" Li Xi said, Jin Yao, who was caught off guard, screamed and was thrown down on the couch, she raised her hands to resist, and Li Xi, who was helplessly excited, was much stronger than her, broke her hands apart, and pressed the whole person on her body.

The candle flame flickered, Jin Yao turned her head in despair and struggled and cried, Nangong Ming, who was looking at everything, was still restrained by a force and could not speak and move, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, his eyes were about to split, and tears flowed out.

"Smack!" After a sound, Li Xi sat up with one cheek covered. Jinyao, who broke free, burst into tears, tucked her messy clothes, and retreated into the corner in horror and trembling.

Li Xi, who was red-faced, looked at Jin Yao for a long time, the surprised expression on his face gradually turned into disappointment, and finally lowered his eyes and said guiltily: "It's me who is wrong...... In the future, you will not be wronged again. With that, Li Xi lowered his hand and got up, looked at Jin Yao and turned away.

Nangong Ming on the side couldn't help but pounce and knelt down, and Jin Yao, who was separated from yin and yang, cried heartbrokenly.

The bright light slanted into the flower window, and the birds and flowers were singing outside the window.

"The prince is here, the prince is blessed. The maid outside the door curtsied, and Li Xi entered the door again, carrying a delicate wooden flower food box in her hand. Jin Yao under the window tilted her head slightly to look out of the house, and the warm sunlight shone on her cheek, which was still gloomy, as if reflecting a halo on her body, looking so quiet and beautiful.

Li Xi looked at it as usual, then walked in front of Jing Yao, sat down, and gently placed the food box in front of Jing Yao and opened it. "You've been here for a long time, and you're homesick. At this time, the orchids outside the city are newly blooming, which is the latest orchids and morning dew, which are sent by people thousands of miles a day, and then the master from Chunyue makes your favorite pastries. It's a pity that the raw materials were sent for a few days, and it must not be as good as what you used to eat. Give it to you to taste, maybe it can relieve you of a trace of homesickness. ”

Jing Yao looked back at the food box for a while, raised her hand and pinched a piece, the pastry was bright and even, exuding a pleasant fragrance. She held it in front of her and looked at it, then put it in her mouth and took a bite.

Li Xi smiled.

Jing Yao ate a piece, suddenly covered her mouth and vomited, and then it was difficult to restrain herself, and her body trembled in the copper bowl brought by the maid.

"Jin Yao, Jin Yao! Hurry, pass on the imperial doctor, pass the imperial doctor!"

The imperial doctor hurriedly came, checked the pulse and asked Li Xi for a consultation, then stood up with a smile, and knelt down to the two of them and said, "He Xi Prince and Princess are happy to have the dragon heir, and the crown princess is happy." ”

When Jin Yao heard this, her face suddenly looked surprised and frightened, and Li Xi on the side was stunned at first, and then gloomy and condensed on her face.

"Go down, all of you. ”

"Yes. ”

After sending away the imperial doctor and the maid, Li Xi and Jing Yao sat silently without a sound for a long time.

"I come here often, and we ...... There has been solitude, although it has not been ...... But no one will question it...... You don't have to worry about ......."

At this moment, Jing Yao's eyes were full of crystals, and her eyes were full of crystals, looking ahead emptyly, but it was Nangong Ming's position at this moment, "If I die, it will be good for everyone......"

"No, you can't die. Li Xi immediately dissuaded, paused again, and said, "Think about the person who loves you, he can't bear to see you die...... Besides, you're pregnant...... You recuperate, I'll come to see you again. ”

Li Xi, who couldn't hide his frustration, walked out of the door, leaving Jing Yao covering her mouth and crying silently, as well as Nangong Ming who was kneeling on the ground with a surprised face.
