Chapter 44: The Journey of the Heart
What Nie Rang took out was the jasper silkworm he had hidden that night. He gently rubbed the smooth surface and said sadly: "Presumably, the king already knows the origin of this jade. Give it back to Zhong Ji, she will understand. β
Di Tu took the jade ornament from the reluctant Nie Rang, and countless related things flashed in his mind, and he was a little confused. He was embarrassed at first, and found that the memory of the night he was talking was not a dream, and he really took his good friend wearing jade ornaments as Zhong Ji to kiss and hug. Then, the jealousy that had just subsided in his chest began to burn again, and he hated Zhong Xi for giving his daughter's personal belongings to his rival.
Nie Rang was relieved at this time. Finally, he no longer had to be careful to hide his secrets, and he felt more relaxed, and said generously: "Your Excellency has the grace of knowing me, but I am sorry for you." The minister knew that he was guilty of a great sin, and let the king deal with it. β
"Hey!" Digging out a long sigh, mixed tastes. For him, Nie Rang is his rival who envy, jealousy, and hatred, and he is also Zhong Xi's life-saving benefactor, or a good brother in life and a good helper in politics. It was impossible for him to be ruthless to retaliate, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it." As I said earlier, let's pass the past. β
Nie Rang couldn't hold back his tears again, and vowed that he would be willing to break his bones to the Lord in the future.
After sending Nie Rang away, Dutu stroked the silkworm alone, and couldn't help but resent Zhong Jilai. hated her for refusing to give the jade away in Qiongtai back then, and even hated her for lying and hiding it when asked about the whereabouts of the jade. He wanted to rush over and question him immediately, but he couldn't make up his mind.
A few days later, the flotilla landed, getting closer and closer to the capital. Xian Zhu suddenly came to report that Zhong Ji had started to make a fuss again. It turned out that after the secret conversation that day, Nie Rang really came to a "one-cut-two". He lied about leaving Zhong Ji's ship. At first, little Lori spent a few nights in peace in the company of the maids. Later, she gradually began to be irritable and wanted to find Nie Rang, but the transportation between the ships was inconvenient, so she had to endure it. Now that she was on the shore, she went crazy and searched everywhere.
Dutu looked at the jade silkworm in front of him, held it tightly in his hand, and summoned up the courage to let Xianzhu take Zhong Xi to his car.
After coming, he ordered someone to stop the carriage to prevent the scene of jumping out of the car from repeating itself.
At this time, Zhong Ji still had tears in the corners of her eyes, and she couldn't bear it, so she smiled at her, trying to make her relax a little.
Zhong Ji, who seemed to be infected, also smiled slightly, and the tears in the corners of her eyes flashed with a moving luster.
"You, are you looking for Nie Rang?"
Zhong Ji's eyes began to wander and nodded slowly.
"He is the right Sima, and he is very busy leading the troops."
"The king is a liar." Little Lori raised her head, staring at Dutu with spotless eyes, "He must have ignored me......"
"It's okay, he ignores you and I'll ignore you."
"I ......" Zhong Ji stopped talking and sobbed again, looking more and more pitiful.
"Are you so inseparable from him?" "Now you don't have to worry about being displaced, I, as a prince, am more capable of protecting you and giving you a sense of security. β
Zhong Ji seemed unmoved, still crying, leaving the person opposite helpless.
"Do you like him?" Digging Turf waited for an answer, nervously clutching the hem of his shirt with his hand.
Zhong Xi was stunned for a moment, and finally stopped crying. As if unconscious, she shook her head, then nodded, and shook her head again, so that her pounding heart seemed to be about to pop out of her chest.
"Do you like it or not?"
"I don't like it." Zhong Ji timidly said the answer, so reluctant that she didn't even believe herself.
Digging Tu couldn't bear it anymore and handed the Jasper Silkworm to her. Zhong Ji was dumbfounded for a moment, and was speechless in surprise. After a moment of silence, she finally fell to the ground and wept bitterly.
"Your Majesty, I really can't live without Brother Nie Rang!"
"Why?" The dug was also in tears.
Heartbroken, Zhong Xi finally opened her heart and told her story about her mental journey in the past two years.
After her sister was killed and she was rescued, Zhong Ji pinned all her hopes on her handsome brother. However, in the Dog Rong Rebellion, although she relied on Nie Rang to save her life, she had to be separated from Ditu Tian. In the days when Ho Kyung was a prisoner, one missed his good brother and the other missed his good lord, and the two of them were united in the East, until they finally found an opportunity to escape.
Sadly, the road is treacherous.
The others went all the way south, fleeing into the mountains as fast as they could. In order to return to Zhengguo, they ventured away from the large army and went east. As a result, he didn't go far and encountered the dog soldiers many times. Nie Rang relied on his strong force, hiding and fleeing during the war, and managed to get rid of the pursuers twice. However, they had no horses or carts, and finally were besieged for the third time, leaving Zhong Xi seriously injured. Nie Rang tried his best, took advantage of the terrain, and carried her to the mountain on two legs, and never dared to come out again.
At this time, Zhong Ji was stabbed in the chest and back by weapons. Although it was not fatal, the infection caused him to have a high fever that did not go away, and his life was in danger. In order to save people, Nie Rang carried her over the mountains and mountains to find someone who knew how to heal. However, in the vast mountains, this is not easy. In this way, Zhong Ji hooked Nie Rang's neck and spent countless groggy days and nights on his back. Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and finally with the help of a refugee, the little beauty turned back from the ghost gate again.
Since then, the relationship between the two has undergone subtle changes.
In the next days of dependence on each other, Nie Rang, who had no choice, scrubbed and changed her dressing every day. The experience of seeing each other sincerely made the hearts of the two boys and girls inevitably throb. As the hope of returning to the east became more and more fading, Nie Rang's guilt for betraying the lord became weaker and weaker, and the original small seed of love at first sight began to germinate.
As their bodies gradually recovered, the days of suffering slowly shone into the sun. However, Zhong Ji suddenly found that her lower body began to bleed profusely, which made the two teenagers who were not familiar with the world frightened when they saw it. Having already experienced the brink of life and death several times, she was once again enveloped by the fear of death and felt helplessness that had never been so intense. She complained and didn't understand why God was playing tricks on her again and again. Eventually, all the horrific memories exploded in his mind, causing Joong to fall into hysteria for the first time.
Nie Rang was overwhelmed with fright at first, but after reacting, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her tightly to stop her tendency to self-harm. That night, Zhong Xi was crying in Nie Rang's warm and firm chest. It wasn't until dawn that she finally calmed down, and silently took off the jade ornament on her chest and put it on the other party's neck. The once cheerful little Lori seemed to have become a wooden man who saw through the red dust, accepted the arrangement of fate, and began to wait quietly for death.
Nie Rang matured a little in the end, and he didn't panic completely. He forcibly carried the resisting Zhong Xi on his back and once again embarked on the road of crossing the mountains and mountains to seek medical treatment.
Ironically, it was really just a trick of fate. When the mountain people they met told them that it was just a small prelude to the girl's maturity, the woman's ridicule made their faces flush. However, Nie Rang may not be able to laugh, because the intense mental stimulation again and again has finally developed from quantitative to qualitative changes in Zhong Xi's body. Since then,Zhong Ji has become a combination of Lori and the devil.,Usually cheerful and simple.γCute and moving.,Once you feel scared, you'll be hysterical.γ
And the only antidote was Nie Rang's embrace.
From then on, Nie Rang broke off the idea of returning to the east. But God hasn't played enough, so he quickly let Xianzhu come to the door. After some psychological struggle, he chose to hide the news from Zhong Xi, lied that he was coming to pursue the soldiers, and took her to hide in the mountains farther away. It's a pity that the escape was unsuccessful, and I was still surrounded by groups.
When Zhong Ji heard the shout of the dug, Lori, who was so simple that she didn't have any distractions, responded without thinking. When she excitedly told Nie Rang that her brother was not a chaser, she didn't know what it meant to go back.
Only Nie Rang understood in his heart that there was no going back.
