It was dark, and it was darker.

In the palace of the king of Cangzhong, the woman lay quietly on the two-meter-square dragon bed made of rosewood, looking sideways as far as the eye could see, seeing that the deep purple-black rosewood on the edge of the bed showed a satin-like luster in the soft light, and the pure blue floor tiles on the ground were covered with a soft carpet made of wild animal fur, forming a different kind of luxury. This dormitory is not like other palaces, there are no curtains hanging except for the bed curtain, and the interior furnishings are simple, the lines are clear, the space is spacious but not empty, giving people the feeling that it is like the owner of this room, hearty and atmospheric. She had been lying on this bed with her eyes open for more than an hour, and on the low cabinet beside the bed were the clothes that the palace maid had prepared for the concubine to wear the next morning, and the rose-red clothes were embroidered with gorgeous and intricate patterns, and they were neatly folded. She raised her eyes and looked at the four palace maids standing in the room, and couldn't help frowning slightly, it had passed the third watch, Ning Qianyi was still in the future, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She can wait, but I'm afraid someone can't wait.

At this moment, the voice of the guard came from outside the dormitory: "Your Majesty! ”

With the sound, the door was opened, and Ning Qianyi strode in, his sleeves were thrown around as he walked, and his footsteps sounded a little impetuous. He walked quickly to the bed, looking at the familiar face of the woman tightly wrapped in a blanket on the bed, there was no tenderness and longing in his eyes, replaced by a deliberately suppressed depression and madness, as if he was holding back the ** who wanted to throw her out.

The woman was slightly stunned, seeing that Ning Qianyi's mood was not right today, and seeing that there seemed to be a cluster of flames rushing up under his eyes, she secretly screamed that it was not good, and wanted him to send the palace maid away, but before she could speak, the man had already pounced in a frenzy, and with a big hand, she was about to lift the blanket on her body, she was shocked, and hurriedly raised her hand and grabbed it.

"Wait a minute." She shouted in a hurry. There is not an inch on his body, how can he be allowed to open it like this? And this person is none other than Yi Rong Cheng Concubine Cen who was carried over. In her eyes, Ning Qianyi has always been a humble gentleman, frank and bright, and never thought that he would get along with his concubine like this.

Ning Qianyi paused slightly, looked at the panicked expression in the woman's eyes, frowned, and said with a slight mockery: "Hasn't Concubine Ai always been dissatisfied with my lack of enthusiasm?" I satisfied you once today, you should be happy, why are you afraid?! ”

Manyao's eyebrows furrowed, and he hurriedly calmed himself down, "There are still people in the house, you let them retreat first." ”

Ning Qianyi frowned, and said with a puzzled expression: "When were you afraid that there were people in the house?" They're there every time. ”

How could this be? It was precisely because Ning Qianyi usually had people around her that she thought that only when the concubine was sleeping, there would be no one else, but she didn't expect that Ning Qianyi and the tea concubine were happy, and there was a palace maid in the house? Now, what can she do?

A palace maid squinted and peeked over, and hurriedly showed a charming smile that belonged to Concubine Cen, trying her best to learn Concubine Cen's voice and intonation, with a slightly withdrawn tone, "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want her to stay here today, you let them retreat." She looked at Ning Qianyi with expectant eyes.

Ning Qianyi smiled and said, "I want them to stay tonight." His smile at the moment was not as bright and bright as she had ever seen, but with an indescribable depression and sadness. Ning Qianyi untied his belt as he spoke, and threw it away, and his shirt was quickly peeled off, revealing his sturdy upper body.

Healthy and elegant physique, firm honey-colored skin, perfect waist line, with a troubled temptation under the orange-red light. Although several palace maids have long been accustomed to this kind of scene, they still can't stop blushing and heartbeat, and they hurriedly lowered their heads, and couldn't help but fantasize that one day they can also become the masters of this dragon bed.

Seeing him move so fast, Manyao was in a state of panic, and before he could stop it, Ning Qianyi waved his big hand, and the curtains on both sides fell, and he had already stepped on the dragon bed.

Man Yao sat up in shock, retreated into the bed, and wrapped his hands tightly on the blanket to cover his body tightly.

Ning Qianyi was dressed in white pants, looking at her movements condescendingly, and always felt that this woman was very strange today, as if she had changed someone, could she suddenly change sex? Or are you playing the trick of refusal? He slowly squatted down and moved in front of her, looking at the wariness in her eyes, suddenly a hint of interest came, reached out and grabbed her slender shoulders, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

Man Yao immediately turned his head to dodge, and quickly whispered in his ear: "Qianyi, it's me!" ”

Ning Qianyi's body shook, and the hand that grabbed her shoulder froze the voice......

He turned his head to look at her in shock, a little incredulous.

He glanced at the palace maid who was faintly visible outside the bed, and said in a low voice, "You let go of me first." ”

Ning Qianyi unconsciously let go of her hands, her eyes were always staring at her eyes, she didn't think it just now, but if you look at it again at this moment, those eyes are clear**, which is indeed not something that Concubine Cen can have. "You, you're ......"

"Shh Man Yao motioned for him to be silenced first, and then said, "Let them out." ”

"Stand down, all of you." Ning Qianyi commanded outside, the palace maids saluted and retreated, and the door closed, and when Ning Qianyi turned her head to look at her again, she had raised her hand to remove the human skin mask on her face, revealing a beautiful and refined face.

"Liyue, it's really you!" The light in his eyes was bright, and the anger of the past three days disappeared in an instant because of the woman in front of him. He didn't think about why she came here in the guise of Concubine Cen, he only knew that all his moods were occupied by a wave of ecstasy.

Hearts are in full swing, that's probably it!

His eyes burned like fire, lingering on her repeatedly, for fear that he would be mistaken as carefully.

The woman's body was wrapped in a purple-red blanket, which was draped softly behind her, and a few of them were scattered on the slightly exposed fragrant shoulders, which made the jade-like skin more and more white and clear, making people unable to take their eyes off. He inhaled lightly and smelled an enticing fragrance. He couldn't help but swallow, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and something rushed into the veins and nerves of his body in an instant, causing his body to stiffen, and his breathing became rapid.

Feeling his dangerous ridicule, Manyao hurriedly tightened the blanket on his body, but he didn't know that this unintentional action in front of a man who was already desperate had added to his urge to immediately remove all the coverings from her.

"Liyue......" His voice was already hoarse, and the burning longing in his eyes was so clear

Manyao panicked, hurriedly moved away, distanced himself from him, and said to him in a very calm voice as much as possible: "Qianyi, you go out for a while, let me put on my clothes first." In a moment, I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

Her cold voice gradually restored his senses, which he almost wanted to be burned, and heard her say that she had something to talk to him? He rolled his eyes slightly, his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he did not listen to her words and get out of bed immediately, but squatted there, looking thoughtfully into her eyes, and a question of the same kind popped up in his mind: what made such a calm and rational woman appear in his dormitory late at night, and in the manner of his concubine's bed?

His mind gradually cleared, and the first ecstasies faded into displacement with doubts.

From the time he learned that she was injured and expelled from the Southern Dynasty, to the time he found her, she followed him to the palace without resistance, and then to the fact that she was pregnant, and she was so afraid that she and Zongzheng would lose her child..., and how many times she wanted to talk to him alone, and was destroyed by Emperor Qiyun; Then, he thought that she had nowhere to go and wanted to vacate a harem for her, but she refused; Now, she is pretending to be his concubine and lying on his bed...

Each of these things, on their own, is quite ordinary, but what kind of problem does the sum indicate?

He is so smart, he seems to be bold and bold, but in fact he is meticulous. But at this time, he suddenly felt that people are sometimes too smart, and it is not a good thing.

There were some things that he didn't want to see so easily. For example, the fate between him and the woman in front of him.

At this moment, there was no longer the excitement he had when he first saw her, and when his blood was boiling to the highest point, his sober consciousness was like a basin of ice water poured on his head.

Ning Qianyi sat there stiffly, not moving, he still looked at her eyes steadily, and the list under him was held by his big hand at some point, wrinkled like a tangled complex thought. His gaze kept changing, and his dark eyes changed from dark to light and then from light to deep, as if he was struggling fiercely in his heart.

In just a moment, his mood fluctuated violently, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, frowning slightly, wanting to repeat what she had just said, "Qianyi...... Before she could speak, Ning Qianyi suddenly stretched out her long arm, leaned forward and hugged her violently.

Such a sudden movement, as expected, her face hit his strong shoulder, her nose hurt, she frowned, but did not say a word.

He hugged her vigorously, and she was already wrapped in a blanket, and at this time she was bound in his arms, unable to move. She clearly felt the violent rise and fall of his chest, and the burning breath he spewed in her ear, all spoke of the strong forbearance in his heart at the moment.

She frowned, the sooner she said it, the better, after all, the purpose of her trip was here. No matter how he reacted, whether it was anger, anger, or disappointment, she could no longer hesitate. So, after thinking about the words prepared before this, he carefully worded, "Qianyi, I'm here this time for......

"I know." Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Ning Qianyi intercepted it...... It's not like the hearty voice of the past, but with a low and dull gloom, no hope, only loneliness and sadness.

His hand rubbed the silky length of her back, his chin resting against the corner of her forehead, rubbing against her smooth and delicate skin. This is the only woman who makes him fall in love with his heart, and the dream that was once difficult to touch is in his arms at this moment, and he still can't hold it.

A blanket was between the two, and he could clearly feel the stiffness of her body. But he didn't say anything, just hugged her and didn't do anything else.

"You...... Know? Man Yao was slightly surprised, he figured it out so quickly? Also, he is such a smart man!

"Yes." Ning Qianyi replied softly, but then did not speak for a long time.

Manyao stayed quietly in his arms, although there was uneasiness in his heart, he did not struggle, nor did he rush to ......

She was waiting for him to calm down, and she always believed that he was a humble gentleman, with a sense of reason, who would take care of the overall situation, and that no matter what happened to him, he would be able to figure it out quickly. It's just that she can't see how hard the struggle is.

The spacious bed, the quiet space separated by curtains, they waited quietly in an ambiguous posture embracing each other, neither moving nor speaking.

She couldn't see his changing look above her.

From shock to joy, then from joy to loss, and finally from loss to sadness and despair, such a two-sided extreme emotional change, he is just quietly feeling it alone.

There are some facts that he should have thought about a long time ago, but he has never been willing to think about them. Now, there is no way to avoid it.

The rumors that she has a male pet are false; She self-harmed in desperation, and her body was fake; It is false that she was expelled from the Southern Dynasty by the Southern Emperor; She has nowhere to go to settle in Yancheng or is it fake...

Looking at the blurry black shadow reflected on the wall, where his eyes, nose, and mouth could not be seen, he slowly calmed down. The mood after the precipitation of countless emotions is loss and bitterness. But he didn't blame her, let alone complain, and in the end, the counterexample was full of happiness and gratitude. To her, he still has at least a little value, and it is better than never having an intersection again.

After a pillar of incense, Ning Qianyi took a deep breath, exhaled a long breath, and then lowered his head slightly, and spoke in her ear, in an affectionate tone that he had never had before, "I know you're not here to give you a hug." However, I want to hug you...... I've been thinking about it for a long time. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to make my life ...... No more regrets. ”

His voice was thick with bitterness, wrapped with a touch of sweetness and satisfaction, which made people can't help but feel unspeakable sourness in their hearts when they listen to it.

He rubbed her sideburns on her head, it turned out that the feeling of holding her... It's so gratifying, and people can't help but feel happy and sweet. Although he knew that without him in her heart, she would never belong to him.

His dream, though still in his arms at the moment, was still a dream.

Manyao's heart was sour, and tears filled his eyes uncontrollably. She suddenly felt that she was too selfish. From the beginning of setting up this strategy, she only thought about worry-free, but she never considered Ning Qianyi's feelings. She suddenly came to his realm in such a way, invisibly giving him hope, and then crushing that hope so hard that there was no room for it. Governess... Is it wrong? But who could tell her if there was a better way? She never wanted to take advantage of his feelings, she just wanted to get a chance, an opportunity to be alone with him that could be used as a negotiation, to talk about a cooperation that would be beneficial to both parties.

"I'm sorry, Qianyi. I ......" she tried to explain, but Ning Qianyi interrupted with a smile, "Liyue, don't apologize. What you want, just say it. I...... will promise you! This is the promise he once made to her, whether it is now or in the future, this promise will always be valid.

thought that he couldn't disperse the harem for her, which made him lose the opportunity to get her, which became the eternal unwillingness and regret in his heart. However, at this time, he was relieved. Because he finally understands that even if he dies for her, he still can't get her heart, so can he die from now on and be his king of a country in peace? Instead of risking the destruction of the country, it is better to do everything in his power to help her and achieve what she wants, and this way of fulfilling love with respect may be more suitable for him. In this life, I have no regrets about getting this hug.

He let go of her slowly, looking at her face greedily, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance into his memory at this moment, and never forget it.

"Thank you." She was so sincerely grateful to him. Ning Qianyi is the purest and most selfless emotion she has encountered in her two lives.

Ning Qianyi smiled slightly, and returned to his usual heartiness and chic, as if everything could be left behind with a wave of his sleeves. He turned, jumped out of bed, handed her the clothes on the low table, helped her pull the curtain, and then dressed himself with his back to her.

Manyao looked at his back, and couldn't tell what it was like. Lower your eyelids, pick up your clothes, and put them on quickly.

She came to see him this time, although she knew that he would not hurt her, but she didn't expect that he would agree to cooperate with Nanchao so easily. And the language she had prepared to persuade him was useless, and the conditions she was going to use to negotiate with him were useless. He agreed so easily, just because she was her.

In this life, she owes it.

On this night, the negotiation between the two countries was finalized in a few words between the two, Ning Qianyi promised to give them all the elite war horses that were secretly trained in the west, and also promised to provide them with food in the future, and she promised on behalf of the Southern Dynasty that the world would be settled in the future, and she would keep the dust and wind country intact and still belong to him.

Everything has been negotiated, and it is already the fourth watch.

Ning Qianyi transferred the guards and let her quietly leave his dormitory. In the silence of the night, in the same room with the woman he loves, how much self-control does he need to convince himself to let her go?

Looking at the back of her leaving, he said to himself, so be it, just put it in his heart and think silently, it is also a kind of happiness!

He walked out of Ning Qianyi's dormitory, avoided the guards patrolling around, and rushed all the way to the Moon Palace.

After a night of tossing, her emotions fluctuated, and now that things have been done, her heart is slightly relieved, but she has been gone for more than two hours, and the second evil has been assigned away, worry-free must be very worried about her, I don't know if it will be awkward later? She thought to herself, and soon arrived at the forest behind the palace of the Fallen Moon Palace.

The forest was not too big, but it was dark enough, and the trees were so dense that the moonlight did not shine in at all. Man Yao had just entered the forest path, only to feel the cold wind swishing towards him, and there was a faint murderous aura around him. She was slightly frightened, who else was waiting here in the middle of the night for her life in this palace? She slowed down slightly, pricked up her ears, and secretly watched for herself.

Suddenly, an incomparably fierce force swept from behind her and swept through her waist, as if to break her in two. She was horrified, she couldn't dodge on all sides, all the retreats seemed to be blocked, she frowned, and hurriedly jumped up, stepped on the tree trunk, turned over and jumped upside down. Glancing at it, there was no one behind him. She was shocked, who attacked her just now? Why is there no half of this trowel? No matter how fast you are, you can't even see a shadow. She frowned, touched her lower abdomen with her hand, and felt a little uneasy in her heart. After turning around in place, I really couldn't see anyone, and even the murderous aura from before was gone. She lifted her heart and walked forward slowly, and now there was a shallow green smoke in the south of the forest, and a faint and almost unsmellable strange fragrance floated over, at first smell, it was invigorating, and she knew that the fragrance must not be a good thing, so she quickly held her breath, but it was too late.

The headache that she hadn't had for more than a year suddenly came on, and it was menacing, and the pain seemed to split her head, and she suddenly felt weak. "Ahh

A tearing voice came from her ears: "Forget what you saw in your dreams, and forget what you heard......" What did she see in her dreams? What did she see? She seemed to see a dilapidated courtyard, and there was a small bluestone tablet in the courtyard, with three words engraved on it, which three words were they? She didn't remember, she also saw a man put his hand around her neck, the man's eyes were full of tears, despair and sadness, but she couldn't see who he was... What had she heard? It seemed that someone called her name repeatedly, but she couldn't hear what he called her......

There are also many vague sights, vague figures, and vague inaudible speech. Who the hell is the person in front? What are they talking about? She was in a trance, her eyes were dazed, and the already vague scenes in her mind became even more blurry, and gradually faded away, almost disappearing completely. However, at this moment, a strong arm suddenly grabbed her waist just as she was about to fall to the ground, picked her up, and held her in his arms.
