Chapter 54: The Beloved

Seeing with his own eyes that the bamboo basket flying towards the two of them from the door was quickly split in half by a sharp sword, Situ Youning realized how bad his swordsmanship was, and in a blink of an eye, the sword blade pointed at his neck again, from hearing the sound of the sword unsheathed to feeling the cold iron blade in his neck for the second time, Situ Youning didn't even have time to see Feng Yumo's angry and cold expression.

"Brother! Stop! ”

Feng Yaoyi's words didn't have any effect on Feng Yumo, and the pain in his neck reminded Situ Youning of the four words that his eldest brother Situ Chenfeng had put on his lips many times, 'Don't mess up when you're in danger'.

Then the painting on the wall just now appeared in her mind, and the tiger that had appeared in the cave, and blurted out loudly, "I have seen the woman in the conversation." ”

Situ Youning, who was huddled and waited for the unconscious, began to rejoice in his heart, because the sword on his neck stopped in place and remained motionless, although the blood had soaked the clothes on his chest along his neck, but Si Youning had nothing but happiness in his heart at this time.

Feng Yaoyi looked at the two people in front of her with wide eyes, her heart was raised to her throat, and she didn't dare to take a breath, Situ Youning tried to open her eyes, and Feng Yumo's cheeks full of doubts appeared in front of her eyes.

"What did you just say?" I don't know if it's Situ Youning's illusion, from Feng Yumo's tone, she felt a trace of expectation and joy.

"Hehe..." Situ Youning smiled and slowly raised his hand, and pushed it in the direction away from him with his fingers, and Feng Yumo put down the sword in his hand.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I said I had seen the woman in the painting," she said, pointing to the wall, bowing her head in embarrassment as she saw her own ruined cheeks.

Feng Yumo lowered his head, his hair swept across his cheeks, in the shadow of the candlelight, he couldn't see its expression at this time, after listening to Situ Youning's words, he was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed as if relieved, put the sword still on the table, and sat on the stool, "When have you seen her?" ”

Situ Youning said that he had seen this woman in order to save his life, and he couldn't even see his face, how could he have seen it, and when Feng Yumo asked like this, she replied casually, "A month ago." ”

"What?!"

Feng Yumo stood up from the stool and looked at her with surprise on her face, and the sickle that Feng Yaoyi held in her hand also fell to the ground.

"It hurts!" After looking at Situ Youning in surprise for a few seconds, Feng Yaoyi realized that the falling sickle had stabbed her foot, and a warm feeling came from the soles of her feet, so she hurriedly sat on the ground and picked up her feet.

Regarding the fact that his sister was stabbed with a sickle, Feng Yumo didn't seem to be moved, and took a step closer to Situ Youning, who was full of doubts, and looked at her with a sad expression.

"What you said is true?" Feng Yumo's tone carried the gentleness and fragility that Situ Youning had never heard before.

Although he is not very clear about the current situation, there is one thing that Situ Youning can be sure of now, that is, the woman in the painting is very important to Feng Yumo, on the one hand, in order to protect himself, on the other hand, he can't bear to hurt Feng Yumo who is sad at this time, Situ Youning nodded.

"Where is she now?!" The wrinkles between Feng Yumo's eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and he clenched Situ Youning's shoulders tightly and asked excitedly.

Seeing such a huge change in Feng Yumo's mood, Situ Youning knew that he had already taken care of the tricky matter of opinion, and if he handled it properly, he would definitely be carefree in the future in the palace, but on the contrary, he had to take his own life.

"I only saw her once outside the city, and she said that she had no attachment to this earthly world, and that she looked very desperate, saying that she was going to a far, far away place, and never to appear in front of anyone again." Thanks to the teachings of Situ Tanhua, Situ Youning recounted 'what happened' with an unchanging face.

"Did she really say that?" Feng Yumo's hands trembled slightly.

"The most helpless and heart-wrenching emotion in the world is the pain of lovesickness, but if the person you miss is still alive in this world, it is not too bad, and the idea of caring for each other between the two will one day pull you together again." This speech was practiced by Situ Tanhua for a long time, and Situ Youning's face was full of sadness and sympathy at this time.

Feng Yumo let go of Situ Youning and raised his right hand to cover his head.

"Brother, did you have a headache again?" Feng Yaoyi's attitude towards her relatives was completely opposite to Feng Yumo's, enduring the pain in her feet, and stepped forward to observe Feng Yumo's condition.

"Master." A person with a mask appeared in front of the three of them and supported Feng Yumo, "Miss, my subordinates will take the master back to rest first." ”

"Hmm." Feng Yaoyi nodded.

Feng Yumo raised his head, his eyes revealing an incomparably large faintness.

Feng Yaoyi seemed to see through Feng Yumo's thoughts, and said, "Brother, Situ Youning will not disappear again, just ask her for details tomorrow." After speaking, he glanced at the masked man, the two nodded to each other, and the masked man left the study with Feng Yumo.

Looking at the girl who was about the same age as herself standing in front of him, Situ Youning remembered the first time he saw her, at that time, Feng Yumo also wanted her own life just like just now, this girl also tried to think about herself, but she didn't expect that she was Feng Yumo's sister.

"Are you alright?"

Looking at the blood stains on each other's bodies, the two of them asked this sentence almost at the same time, and at the same time shook their heads and replied that it was okay.

"I didn't expect you to meet your sister-in-law a month ago."

"Sister-in-law?" Shouldn't she call Ni Yan her sister-in-law? How could it be the woman in the painting?

"That's great!" Feng Yaoyi stretched her waist, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and was silent for a long time before she said thoughtfully, "Since then, my brother has never smiled again. ”

"Huh?" Is she talking about Feng Yumo? The smile that Feng Yumo often wore on his face appeared in Situ Youning's mind, "Haven't you laughed?" ”

"What did you say?" Feng Yaoyi's gaze moved to Situ Youning's body.

"Hehe... It's nothing? The man in the painting is interested in the phoenix... King Ji, it must be very important, right? ”

"Of course, she is the only woman my brother has ever loved deeply in his life, and since she appeared, my brother has never been close to any other woman, as long as it is what she wants, my brother will send it to her."

"Then why did she leave?"

"This..." Feng Yaoyi looked around, moved closer to Situ Youning, and whispered, "Sister-in-law Youning, you have to be careful of Sister-in-law Ni Yan, I don't know the specific reason, anyway, it has something to do with that woman." ”

"Princess She..."

"When my brother was eighteen years old, the queen mother gave him a marriage for seventeen-year-old Ni Yan, at that time my brother and you willingly agreed, and the two got along very well on the surface after getting married, but in fact the relationship was very cold, my brother kept taking concubines, and was addicted to wine all day long, until she appeared, everything changed."

"Is that the woman in the painting?"

"Well, I'm relieved now, can you tell me more about what happened when you met my sister-in-law now? I miss her so much, and the clues you provided might lead my brother to find her. Feng Yaoyi took Situ Youning's hand with some excitement.

"Hehe... It seems that she is really a strange woman. Situ Youning replied with a smile, anyway, it would be good to provide some inconsequential clues, and the matter of seeing her was also made up by herself, that woman must have been angry with this bastard prince, and when the anger subsided, maybe she would come back by herself.

"Well, she is a very good woman, with a gentle personality, excellent medical skills, and delicious cooking..."

Is the doctor skilled? This reminded Situ Youning of his sister-in-law, "It seems that you really like her." ”

"Well, thank you so much." Feng Yaoyi clenched Situ Youning's hand and looked at her with gratitude, her two big eyes were full of spirituality in the moonlight, "I can't imagine that my sister-in-law, who died four years ago, can be resurrected." ”

"What?" Situ Youning looked at Feng Yaoyi in surprise.

Feng Yaoyi seemed to recall something, lowered her head and whispered, "One morning four years ago, my sister-in-law's body was found in the bamboo forest, it is said that her face was pale at that time, her mouth was covered with blood, and the backs of her hands were full of nail marks, so deep that the bones could be seen, and she must have been very painful when she died..."

He's dead? Situ Youning sat in despair and looked blankly at the surface of the lake, what should he do now?

"I can't believe she's not dead..."

What Feng Yaoyi said later, Situ Youning didn't listen to it at all, and only felt that the wound that Feng Yaoyi had bandaged herself was painful as if it had been torn until she lost consciousness.
