Chapter 125. Fallen
Listening to the conversation between the two outside the door, I held on to the door and slid to the ground little by little, my hands laboriously covering my chest.
It hurts!
I don't know if it's heartache or the burning pain caused by poisonous hair, and my body trembles uncontrollably.
Is that so?
So he's just using me all along?
For what?
For meritorious service? In order to be appreciated by Yue Xiongqi?
Is that really the case?
I don't believe it...... I don't believe it!
The way he smiled at me, the way he frowned when he was worried, the way he was gentle when he comforted me, none of them seemed fake.
It gradually became difficult to breathe, but I heard the conversation between the two outside the door:
"This time, this Ling Niankong is about to ascend!
I heard that the criminal evidence he collected shows that for so many years, Beili has been trying to subvert the government by pretending to be buried in Nanli!
The emperor has long wanted to bring down the north, but there is no reason to send troops.
As soon as he heard about this, when the emperor sent someone to raid the general's mansion, he sent his deputy general Cheng Feng to lead his troops to the north, with an army of 300,000!
The Yan clan is going to be completely desperate now! ……”
"What did you say?!"
I slammed the door open and picked up the sergeant who was squatting by the door and chatting. "Say it again!"
"Who are you!" The soldier drew his sword as he spoke.
"Stop!" Ji Feng's slightly angry voice came.
"Deputy Commander Xiao!"
"It's none of your business here, go down."
"Yes!"
Soon, the two soldiers were out of the courtyard.
Remembering what I had just heard, I felt a chill to my bones and slid to the ground again.
"Did you hear it all?"
Ji Feng's words were full of helplessness.
"What do they say...... It's all true? ”
I gritted my teeth desperately, barely trying to keep my consciousness from being invaded by the pain that penetrated deep into my bone marrow.
Ji Feng didn't answer, just looked at me with complicated eyes.
I suddenly guessed what he meant, but I was still unwilling and said weakly:
"I don't believe it...... I don't believe it......
Where is he? I want to see him......
What others say can be false, and I don't listen. I just have to listen to what he has to say and take me to him......"
I just want to hear what he has to say.
But...... But what if even he doesn't deny it?
After a moment of silence, Ji Feng said:
"You don't have to go to see him, if you have anything to say, just ask him."
I was stunned and looked up.
A figure standing in the moonlight crashed into my eye.
But how could he be like this?
The moonlight poured down on his face, his eyes were covered with frost, and his lips were pursed.
I was suddenly a little afraid, is this still the Niankong I know?
Will my mind stab me like this with a sword-like eye?
He's not...... Isn't he dying?
But he looked ...... Good ......
"Why is she here?"
His words were so gloomy that my body shrank subconsciously.
Nian Kong's ...... What does he mean?
Ji Feng suddenly smiled slightly mockingly.
"Niankong, you forgot, you still have poison hidden in your body! You can take advantage of her, but you might as well give it a try.
If the poison is cured, it won't be in vain that I tried my best to trick her, don't you say? ”
What did he say? What is he saying!?
I wanted to question, but my throat was so sore that I couldn't make a sound at all.
The feeling of suffocation all turned into tears, dripping to the ground.
Niankong glanced at me coldly.
"She can't cure me."
It was as if someone was pinching my heart.
He said...... He said I couldn't cure him......
Meaning...... He doesn't have me in his heart at all?
Is it true that he has been using me from beginning to end?
"But this person has brought it, and you really don't plan to use it?"
Xiao Jifeng's tone was actually a little embarrassed:
"And what are you going to do with her?"
"You decide for yourself who you bring with you."
Saying that, Niankong rarely looked at me.
The last hope ignited in my heart:
Nian Kong, don't be like this...... Don't do this to me!
But he heard him say again:
"Jifeng, she'll be handed over to you." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
"Niankong!"
I tried to catch up with him and ask him for clarification, but I didn't have any strength in my legs.
"Nian Kong...... Why are you doing this? ”
"Do you hear that? Niankong handed you over to me......"
Xiao Jifeng said, trying to lift me up from the ground, but found that I had no strength at all, so he picked me up.
I couldn't afford to struggle, and I didn't want to struggle anymore.
What is the use of struggling?
For the sake of Ling Niankong, I gave up the opportunity to reunite with Ah Ran for eight years.
Not only that, but the whole Beili is also in jeopardy because of my choice.
300,000 troops......
According to the current situation of the north, I am afraid that even the 100,000 army will not be able to resist.
The last bloodline of the Yan clan and the last hope of Ah Ran's restoration were easily cut off by me!
How else can I be worthy of my last name?
How can you be worthy of your father who died tragically?
How can you be worthy of Ah Ran, who has been struggling to support herself for many years? ……
I lay on my back on the couch, crying breathlessly.
Mother, daughter is not filial.
But my daughter misses you, so you can take her away, okay?
"It hurts, doesn't it? This medicine is very strong...... However, it's not just Niankong who can save you, I can too. ”
I stared blankly at the top of the bed, my soul as if it had left my sinful body, suspended in mid-air, looking down at Xiao Jifeng's outer coat, and the whole person was covered with me.
He reached out and gently wiped away my tears, lowered his head, and said softly:
"Little beauty, don't be afraid, brother, I'll save you."
As he spoke, his lips fell.
I was in a trance, still floating in the air and silently watching all this.
Xiao Jifeng lifted me and his clothes away, and his movements were surprisingly gentle.
He let out a low breath and said softly:
"Don't be afraid, I promise you'll only hurt a little, and I'll make you very comfortable later, trust me."
Tears rolled down the corners of my eyes, and he wiped them away for me.
"Don't cry, it's okay, it's really okay......"
And then there was a pain that seemed to penetrate me.
It hurts! It's true...... It hurts! ……
******
I thought that my detached soul would drift away and I didn't want to open my eyes again, but I was still lying on that couch.
The pain in my body was like a hammer, mercilessly striking at the top of my head.
With a bang, the fragments of last night's shameful memories were pieced together piece by piece......
I wanted to cry, but there was a smile on my lips.
My body is dirty......
If it's dirty, let's throw it away......
I walked out of the house naked, and made my way to the top of the hill with great difficulty.
Luckily, it wasn't dawn yet, otherwise I wouldn't have had the courage to step out of that room.
Along the way, I passed by the assembled sergeants. Is there that person among them?
I didn't have the strength to look back, so I just kept walking.
I walked to the top of the mountain, sat down on the edge of the cliff, and looked at the gloomy clouds in front of me, feeling a little disappointed.
You can't see anything but the clouds!
It's not as beautiful as the night sky that Ah Ran took me to see on the roof of the East Palace when I was a child.
The night sky was beautiful, maybe the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen in my life, right?
The body was a little stiff from the cold, and then I remembered that it was now the wax moon, how could it not be cold?
Just as I was thinking about it, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I hurried to look. I saw a round of red sun emerging from the sea of clouds little by little, rendering thousands of clouds.
Okay, I'll take back the idea of Fang Cai.
The scenery was also quite beautiful, barely comparable to the starry sky on the rooftop that night.
Suddenly, the sun burst out of the sea of clouds and hung high in the sky.
My mother said that I was born just in time for the sunrise, so I got the name Zhaoran. And that impartiality happened fifteen years ago today.
Dad, mother, Ah Ran, I'm fifteen years old, I'm finally fifteen years old.
When I was a child, I always looked forward to being fifteen, because when I was fifteen, I would no longer have to be locked up in the East Palace.
It's just that I didn't expect that the fifteen-year-old I had been looking forward to would be like this......
A burst of birdsong streaked across the sky, and my eyes widened to see a flock of birds lining up through the clouds to disappear.
The rising sun dyed the birds' white feathers a glow red.
Looking at the birds flying freely, I suddenly had a question in my mind:
Master said that all people have past and present lives.
Is this true?
If it's true, I'm going to be a dissolute woman in my next life!
You don't need to pretend to be a man, you don't have to be locked up in a splendid palace, and you don't need to be a well-behaved puppeteer, but you can really cry and laugh when you want to cry as Ah Ran said!
However, I still have to be my father's child, and I also have to be Ah Ran's sister.
Because in this life, the time with them is too short!
"Why are you here?"
The voice behind him, though familiar, was still as cold as last night.
I wiped away my tears, stood up and turned around, smiling at him more than ten paces away.
Behind him were the sergeants I had just seen.
I looked at the man for a moment, and secretly added one in my heart:
Also, in the next life, I don't want to meet the person in front of me, the person who tore my heart out......
He saw me and looked at him seriously with a smile. He also smiled coldly:
"Leng Qingqian, haven't you seen the reality clearly?
Women are stupid, I know it, but I don't expect you to be the same.
I heard Jifeng say that you have taken the antidote to my poison, and that medicine is poison for you......"
As he spoke, he spread out his palm, and a clear jade bottle lay in the palm of his hand.
"It's thanks to you that I'm able to do it now. Take this antidote. ”
I ignored him, still looking at him quietly.
"What?
Do you think I'm going to detoxify you myself? ”
As soon as he said this, the sergeants present were all ambiguously commotioned.
And he said:
"Don't be delusional anymore, or take the antidote obediently."
When I heard what he said, I suddenly felt ridiculous, and I really laughed.
The louder I laughed, the louder I laughed, the more I laughed, the more I laughed...... The more bitter I feel......
Gradually, I was a little out of breath and stopped laughing.
I took a step back and gently spat out two words:
"Not necessarily."
The last strength that had held me on until now was suddenly gone. My body fell limply back......
The body just fell into layers of clouds, and his wrists were tightened.
I looked up and saw the man lying on the edge of the cliff and pulling me deadly.
The veins on his forehead bulged and jumped abruptly.
"Give me the other hand." He gritted his teeth and hated.
I smiled softly. "Niankong, you are so self-conscious."
His breath tightened.
I don't know if it's my delusion, but his eyes seem to be misty.
"Xuan'er, I was wrong, I was wrong! I beg you, give me your hand! ”
I smiled: "I ...... Don't want to! ”
With that, I lifted my foot and kicked the stone wall, and my body was light, and I fell straight down.
It turns out that birds are like this......
If the next life can't be as I hoped, then why don't you just be a bird!
A bird that soars freely......
