Chapter 273: Keep your distance
Nangong Nianxi said: "Don't be sad, he didn't do anything wrong, if he accepts the princess's feelings, it means that you are not good enough, if someone takes better care of him instead of you, then you are dispensable." β
When Ming Haoxuan returned to the room, Nangong Nianxi was already lying on the bed, he carefully took off his coat and shoes, and finally got rid of the annoying princess, and he could hug his beloved Xi'er.
Nangong Nianxi felt it when he entered the door, and he didn't know what to say, so he just pretended to be asleep, Ming Haoxuan may be really tired, and he hugged himself for a while and heard his even breathing.
Nangong Nianxi turned around gently, and by the moonlight, he could faintly see his facial features, the more lonely a woman was, the more cranky she became.
Nangong Nianxi stretched out his hand away from his face to describe his facial features, and said in his heart: "Xuan! No matter what your attitude towards her is, as long as you don't propose to take a concubine first, then I will always be with you. β
Just when she was thinking nonsense, Ming Haoxuan seemed to be dreaming, and shouted vaguely: "Xi'er...... Xi'er ......"
Nangong Nianxi was comforted a lot when he heard this, at least the person who appeared in his dream was still himself. What are you still questioning, you have to believe that in the past year, the two have gone through so many difficulties to come together, how can they give up easily because of another woman! β
Thinking of this, Nangong Nianxi stopped thinking nonsense and fell asleep peacefully. When he opened his eyes again, Ming Haoxuan had already woken up and was looking at her, Nangong Nianxi rubbed his eyes and said, "Woke up so early!" Don't sleep longer! β
"Xi'er! You went to look for me last night, didn't you? β
Nangong Nianxi looked at him, got up silently, and then turned around and said, "It's a dark night again, isn't it?" β
"It's not! He didn't even tell me the truth by you, you forgot that he didn't know a secret guard in the palace! Ming Haoxuan also said.
"Oh! I forgot, nothing to do and went back! β
"Xi'er! Don't be cranky, no matter what you hear, I will still treat her as I did at the beginning, nothing will change, my mind is always thinking about our agreement, facing the difficulties in front of me together. β
"I'm sorry! I misunderstood you last night, and when I come back, I'll self-examine, it should be that I did something wrong, I shouldn't distrust you, I didn't go in the study when I got to the study, and I didn't give you a timely solution, so you were entangled by her, don't worry that it won't be like this in the future. β
"Fool! I think you've been a lot haggard lately, don't think nonsense, she's not bad, and I can't embarrass her everywhere, so we'll treat her as a guest of a sister next door, and two months will pass quickly anyway. β
"Sister next door? He just compared Xuan to the brother next door a few days ago, and he compared Shui Linglong to the sister next door, is she naΓ―ve and unguarded against her? Declare! You know that you will be misunderstood, now remind him that he will think that he is jealous, he will think that he is vexatious, and will push him further and further! Leave it at the mercy of the flow! If she really walked into our world, then I can only say that I am a failure and did not manage this marriage well. β
"Xi'er! What did Xi'er think? Ming Haoxuan looked at her suspiciously and asked.
"Huh? What did you say? Nangong Nianxi finally finished his fugue and returned to reality.
"Xi'er! Do you have something on your mind? If so, be sure to let me know. β
"No, no! Recently, there have been too many things, and I'm just a little upset, and it's probably a little stuffy because the weather is getting warmer. β
"Xi'er! The starling passed the word and said that he would leave with Sister Qingqing early the day after tomorrow! He and his father have already said that they will take tomorrow around! β
Nangong Nianxi listened to it and said with a smile: "Really! That's great! Declare! I want to give my sister a ride, can I ......?"
"Xi'er! I know that it has always been me, it is my palace that has restrained you, and seeing the envious eyes when you heard that your sister was leaving, I knew that you were now happy from the bottom of my heart. Feel relieved! I know everything, and I have already made a reason for you, and I have asked for a decree that you are reluctant to go out of the city tomorrow, and that you will be escorted out of the city by the way. β
Nangong Nianxi looked at his sincere eyes, moved in his heart, and said with moist eyes: "Thank you!" You've been thinking about me, and I'm still suspicious of you, it's me who is not good. β
After speaking, he threw himself into Ming Haoxuan's arms, whimpering and sobbing, I don't know whether he was wronged or moved, and tears flowed down.
Ming Haoxuan knew that she was uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only hug her tightly and pat her back to comfort her.
Nangong Nianxi got up early in the morning, because today was the day when Sima Qingqing and Ming Haolan left, she started to fight early in the morning, and when Ming Haoxuan came in after finishing things, her eyes lit up.
I saw that she was wearing a white floor-length dress, white like snow, a slender waist, a corner of light gauze tied to her fingers, and her eyes were soft. Beautiful and elegant, but with indifference in her expression, she is really as clean as ice and snow, but she is also as cold as ice and snow, I really don't know whether she is happy or angry, happy or sad.
Seeing Ming Hao Xuan come in, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Xuan!" You're back! Let's go! β
"Okay! Today's old days are so beautiful! β
Nangong Nianxi gave him a knowing smile, to be honest, when I got up early this morning, my eyelids jumped, I don't know if I will go out of the city smoothly today!
The two walked out of the Xiyuan Pavilion hand in hand, and came to the door, and the dark night was already waiting by the carriage, and then they saw a touch of yellow rushing out, followed by Long Yu in a guard suit.
Nangong Nianxi frowned, and Ming Haoxuan hurriedly explained: "I didn't inform them, what did she do when she got up so early!" β
Shui Linglong ran over and said, "Brother Wangye! Sister Miss! What are you going to do so early? β
"Linglong! Don't mess around, we've got something to do and we'll be back in a while, you're still at home! Ming Haoxuan reprimanded.
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled Nangong Nianxi to get into the carriage, Shui Linglong grabbed Ming Haoxuan's arm and said, "Make it clear, otherwise I won't let you go anywhere?" β
Nangong Nianxi's eyes touched Shui Linglong's hand and grabbed Ming Haoxuan's arm tightly, his heart was tight, and he said, "Xuan! I'm waiting for you in the car! Then he took the lead in getting into the carriage.
Ming Haoxuan knew that although she didn't say anything, she was also angry in her heart, what she cared about most was Sima Qingqing, and now she was almost late if she didn't set off, and she was in a hurry, this girl couldn't be too offended, so she pulled her into the carriage in a hurry.
Nangong Nianxi saw them coming up together, his brows tightened, and he didn't speak, Ming Haoxuan explained: "Xi'er! If you don't leave, it's too late, so you can only take her out with you. β
"Sister Nianxi! I won't be angry, our family of three will spend more time together in the future, and we'll see you if you explain more, right! β
"Shut up!"
Shui Linglong covered her mouth, nodded, and lifted the curtain, at this time, the sky was just dawning, the street was still deserted, and the vendors who were doing business had not yet come out of their stalls. The carriage drove steadily on the street, and soon came to the door of the Eight Princes' Mansion, at this time Nangong Nianxi couldn't wait to get out of the car, walked to the carriage, and asked, "Starling!" Can people settle down? β
Ming Haolan lifted the corner of the carriage, Nangong Nian looked inside, and then turned to Ming Haolan and said, "Everything is up to the starling!" Let's go out of town together, I want to see you off in person to be at ease! β
Ming Haolan raised her eyes and looked at Ming Hao, who was standing behind her, and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her!" Let's go! β
Nangong Nianxi and Ming Haoxuan returned to the carriage again, Shui Linglong looked at them and asked suspiciously, "I said!" Who's in that car? Let you come early in the morning to say goodbye! β
Nangong Nianxi was upset when she heard her talk, she got up early in the morning, and involuntarily gently tapped her temples, Ming Haoxuan looked at her and said with concern: "Why do you have a headache?" I'll press it for you! β
Nangong Nianxi dodged and said, "Forget it! Is there anyone else in the car? I'm fine, just take a break! After saying that, he leaned in, leaned back against the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Ming Haoxuan obviously felt that Nangong Nianxi deliberately kept a distance from him, and now was not the time to ask, he thought that he would explain things clearly, so she dispelled her cranky thoughts, but this current performance seems that she has a knot in her heart or has not untied it, and when she sends Qingqing and Starling away, she must have a good talk after she goes back.
He ignored Nangong Nianxi's resistance, and forcibly moved her body over and leaned on his shoulder, Nangong Nianxi pretended to sleep and didn't want to make more moves, so he obeyed and didn't resist, his heart was up and down, and he didn't know how he could be so upset.
I don't know how long it took, I obviously felt that the car was much brighter, and some sunlight shone in from the curtains of the window, and the car stopped steadily, and said in the dark: "Lord Wang! I don't know why, the gates of the city are not opened today! β
Nangong Nianxi immediately sat up straight, vigilant, his hand clutched his dress tightly, Ming Haoxuan reached out to hold her hand and did not let her hand go. He forcibly broke his hand and held it in his hand, and said, "Xi'er! Xi'er! Trust me, it's okay! β
Shui Linglong was puzzled: "What's wrong with my sister, why is it so abnormal, my usual sister is calm, what's going on today?" β
"Xi'er! I don't know why you're like this, but I said we're all in this together, and we're going to face things together, aren't we? You're worrying me like this, so let's have a good talk when we get back, okay? β
"Xuan! You said that the city gates are open normally every day, what is the matter today, could it be that something is going on? Nangong Nianxi held Ming Haoxuan's hand tightly and said nervously.
"It's going to be fine, I'll let the dark night inquire, and I'll report it later!" Nangong Nianxi softened his mood after hearing this, and said, "It's me who is too nervous!" My eyelids kept jumping, I hope it's okay! β
"Lord Wang! According to the guards guarding the city gates, the embassy post station entered the assassins last night, and the envoy of a small country was injured, so the city gate was closed today to arrest the assassins, and I heard that this was an order from Duan Wangye. β
Nangong Nianxi looked at Ming Hao and said, "What do you mean by him doing this?" Did you really meet an assassin at the post station last night? β
"According to the report of his subordinates, this is true, but the starling should be able to go out of the city if he has a token to go out of the city."
Nangong Nian said in his heart: "I'm afraid that something will happen or something will happen, but it's okay, I hope the token can solve the urgent need!" β
