Chapter 12: Grievances and grievances dissipate
I went into the house, brought a basin of water, and washed it in the water of the lake. The Night King stood right next to me, looking at me.
After washing the cloak and drying it, the moon had already risen in the sky. Brightly shining on the water waves. The Night King in the moonlight also looked much softer, and his black mask didn't look so cold and hard.
Seeing that I had done all this, he said two words: "Go to bed." ”
After saying that, he went into the house and lay down on the couch in his kimono.
There is only one couch in the room, and although I often play with boys in Fulan Garden, I still understand the truth that men and women can't sleep together! What kind of monster is this Night Ghost King!
"I, you, we haven't married yet...... "After all, it's the king of the night who kills people without blinking, and I'm still a little afraid.
"Huh?"
"I mean, men and women are different, we can't sleep together......" Jinse, Jinse, I secretly scolded myself for being useless.
"Who said we were going to sleep together? You sleep in the den. ”
I couldn't see his expression, but it was clear that there was a teasing flavor in his tone.
My face must be red and bleeding at this point......
Running out of the bedroom as quickly as he could, the deep voice of the Night King came behind him—was he, laughing?
There was only one low couch in the study, and it was really uncomfortable to sleep. Coupled with the previous misunderstanding, my heart was beating suddenly, and I couldn't sleep.
So he came outside the house, and when the night breeze blew, the man sobered up a little. Seeing that the cloak has dried.
I put away my cloak and went back to the study, folding it slowly, and my mind gradually calmed down. At the tentacle, he found a finger-long opening in the corner of his cloak, and his heart moved, and he took out a needle and thread.
In a moment, a lifelike silver locust flower appeared at the opening......
On the second day, when the morning sun shone obliquely into the study, we woke up and found ourselves asleep on the low couch at some point. The needlework is still there, but the cloak is gone. The Night King is gone......
There was a familiar sound of footsteps in the corridor, the servants who had come to deliver the goods. This time they brought two larger boxes, and when I opened them, they saw two boxes full of arrows. I suddenly remembered that last night, the King of Darkness asked me to practice counting arrows and firing in succession......
Mu Zixiao really didn't break his promise. Two days later, he sent a soft sedan chair to disguise me and go down the mountain.
The last time I came to Shuiyunju, I was in a coma, and when I went out at this time, I found that there seemed to be some kind of formation here, two palanquin drivers carried the sedan chair, with brisk steps, over the gravel, around the stump, obviously looking at the road ahead, but at the change of footsteps, there was a path under the shade of trees. If you are not familiar with it, you will not be able to find it.
At this moment, I admire King Ning Yuan even more, in this troubled world, he can think so thoroughly, I really don't know what he has experienced in the past. It's just, how did the Night King find here? I was puzzled, and from this point of view, the relationship between him and Cheng Hao was not as simple as "meeting a few times" as he said.
When we arrived at Mufu, it was already sunset.
Stepping into the courtyard gate, I couldn't help but gasp: but it has only been more than half a month, and the scene of Mu Mansion is not as good as before. Xu is Mu Zixiao deliberately retreated, the yard looked extremely depressed, the peach tree in the front yard, because no one pruned, at this time the branches were overgrown, there were some wanderers growing in the pond, and the fish were happy, but it highlighted the desertion in the courtyard even more.
Mu Zixiao greeted me and walked towards the backyard, he tried his best to show a natural and calm appearance, but I still saw that along the way, the cracks of the bluestone bricks were overgrown with weeds - Hua Nian, how much did he pay for this mansion...... I looked at Mu Zixiao who was walking in front, and his back no longer seemed to be as straight as it used to be.
Hua Nian was locked up in the attic in the backyard.
When he arrived at the attic, Mu Zixiao was a little hesitant. I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt her." ”
He didn't take it easy for me to joke, just nodded haphazardly and left.
I walked up to the attic and took off my disguise. I saw the woman in a pale yellow color, who was still sitting quietly and calmly, with only pearls in her bun. It's just that her eyes that originally looked forward to Shenfei have lost their brilliance, and she has lost a lot of weight.
Seeing me, she smiled lightly: "Sister, you're here." ”
When I saw this woman, I knew that she was going to kill me, but I couldn't hate her.
She brushed the broken hair from her ears and said lightly, "I knew you would come." The first time I saw you, I knew you weren't something in the pool. ”
Seeing that I was silent, she continued: "I can't help myself in this life, don't blame you. ”
I walked up to her: "Is it really your father who ordered you to kill me?" ”
"Or else?" The moment she raised her eyes, there was a streamer in her eyes.
"I'm just wondering, there are so many ways you can kill me, why did you force Mu Zixiao to marry me. It's not that you don't know that he has no intention of me. ”
"Heh, I really can't hide it from you. I thought you'd be so overwhelmed with joy that you ignored the ......," she paused, a little distracted. After a while, he said, "I have been pleased with him since I saw him at the age of fourteen, when he had just returned from a victorious battle, and sat on his horse like a god on high, and I stood in the midst of the welcoming people, and looked at him, and I wanted him to be my king......"
I reacted for a long time before I realized that what she said was - Ningyuan Wang Chenghao.
What Hua Nian likes is Cheng Hao!
No wonder, everything is clear.
I was jealous of her, and she was jealous of King Ningyuan's care for me.
What she didn't know was that King Ning Yuan treated me a little more favorably because I was a survivor of the plague.
Love can really make people lose their minds. Just like I used to treat Mu Zixiao.
"My father, Doctor Hua, has a different position from King Ning Yuan. He didn't agree with me marrying King Ningyuan. He said that King Ningyuan would die sooner or later...... When Mu Yuan went to propose, my father forced me to marry Mu Zixiao, he said, Mu Zixiao is a close confidant of King Ningyuan, so that I can use it to grasp the movements of King Ningyuan, but when it comes to raising troops, I can also protect him from death. ”
"Originally, I had already accepted my fate, Mu Zixiao was very good to me, I should be content." She turned to me and stood up suddenly, "Until my sister came, King Ning Yuan specially sent someone to inform you of the news of your arrival, and specially asked you to plan a military strategy, the way he looked at you, I never got ...... Until then, in fact, I have always sincerely hoped that you would marry into the Mu family...... Because you love Mu Zixiao as much as I love King Ningyuan......" Her pale face slowly turned bloody because of excitement.
"So, you have murderous intentions because you think King Ningyuan is pleased with me?"
"I told the woman to take the poison, and that's it...... I don't know why this is happening, my father asked me to kill you before, I really can't bear it, but since I saw the way King Ning Yuan looked at you, I ......" She suddenly burst into tears and couldn't go on.
Could it be that love can really make people lose their hearts and become unrecognizable?
After getting the answer I wanted, I wanted to turn away.
Hua Nian bowed down behind him: "In this life, what you can't get will never be able to get it, sister, I couldn't stand it before." ”
My heart ached.
Suddenly remembered something: "Sister, did your father ever raise a dead man with a plum blossom mark on the inside of his arm?" ”
Hua Nian shook his head blankly. It seems that she really doesn't know, and the person behind Doctor Hua must also be powerful.
I nodded and said softly, "Don't worry, sister, I will do my best to protect you." ”
Coming down from the attic, the sky was already full of stars. I hid the tears in my eyes, in fact, how can I protect the Chinese New Year? In this troubled era, the change of regime, the life and death of people, how can I decide as a little orphan girl?
Mu Zixiao was waiting for me downstairs. At this time, I suddenly noticed that his side face was much haggard, as if he had been drained of the vitality of life in an instant. He is no longer the high-spirited and handsome man he used to be.
He really loves Hua Nian. It's just that he chose the latter between his love and the morality in his heart.
I knew that he had heard the conversation between me and Hua Nian, and there was silence all the way, and I didn't know how to comfort him. Maybe Rehe's words of comfort wouldn't be of any use to him.
I'm going to take the soft sedan back to Shuiyunju. Just as I was about to get into the sedan chair, I saw a figure flashing on the willow tree outside the courtyard wall.
I motioned to the palanquin man to wait for a while, whispered a few words to Mu Zixiao, and then walked quickly to the side of the courtyard wall.
Turning the corner of the courtyard wall, a man in Tsing Yi was leaning against the trunk of a tree, holding a thatch in his mouth, and a pair of big smart eyes flickering at me: "Sister Jinse, I haven't seen you for many days, can you come in?" I wonder if we can still make a deal? ”
I smiled. Walk towards him.
This person is Luo Lantian.
She said that she came to Liuxia to wait for me that night as usual, but she couldn't wait for a while, and when she contacted what I said before, she concluded that something had happened to me.
"I sneaked into the house and heard people talking about you, how unbearable you are. I didn't believe it, with my Luo Lantian's many years of experience in the rivers and lakes, I thought that it must be a good thing done by the housewife of the Mu Mansion, so I secretly left something in the women's room there. Xiao Tian's eyes were rolling, and he said a little proudly.
"You left something in Hua Nian's room? What is it? I wondered.
"It's a little thing, I learned some Gu techniques from a Miao doctor when I was a child, so I gave her some red face Gu."
"Red Yan Gu? What is it? ”
Luo Lantian approached me a little mysteriously and said, "It's just that every time she does that with her husband, her whole body is extremely itchy, haha, sister, I'm amazing, right?" She said gloomily, "It's a pity that I didn't learn art well when I was a child, and I only thought about learning these strange things, and I didn't learn a few serious Gus, otherwise I ......"
I stared at her helplessly, but fortunately, she didn't hurt Hua Nian's life!
As if she remembered something, she blinked and said, "Sister, do you know a very powerful person?" ”
Very powerful person? Thinking about the people I knew when I left Fulan Garden, the Night Shadow King, the King of Ningyuan, including Mu Zixiao and her Luo Lantian, which one is not a powerful character?
