As the sun gradually shifted, more and more sunlight shone into the house. The soft light shone on the bodies of Han Yue and Nangong Heng, as if a hazy halo was plating the two of them, and if they looked closely, they seemed to be able to see the dust dancing in the sun.

Cold Moon's appearance wrapped in gauze should be a little crazy, but her eyes are clear and transparent, like two pools of autumn water, and like light-colored glass under the moonlight, so that people can't take their eyes off it when they look at it, and it won't make people feel how scary her appearance is.

Nangong Heng continued, "Above the court, Nangong Jing and I can play with our skills, but Nangong Jing has an advantage that I don't have. He is the eldest son of his father, and he has the support of the queen and the queen's family behind him, and it is not easy to defeat him, so I need your cooperation. ”

Nangong Heng paused and continued, "Taichangqing Liu Yi's daughter Liu Yuanzhi is about to enter the palace as a concubine in the near future, but she is too supple, and she will definitely not be able to survive in the palace on her own, let alone pull the queen off the horse, so I need you to enter the palace with her as her handmaiden, and do your best to support Liu Yuanzhi, help her gain the emperor's favor, and help her gain a foothold in the harem." ”

Nangong Heng said such an earth-shattering remark flatly, as if he was just talking about what to eat today, but these few simple words were already secretly frightened when he heard them in the cold moon.

Han Yue calmed down a little and said, "His Royal Highness King Cheng really overestimated me, I asked myself if I didn't have that kind of ability." It's true that I hate Nangong Jing and Su Yuyan, but the queen is innocent. ”

"The queen is innocent? Heh......" Nangong Heng couldn't help but feel amused by Han Yue's innocence, "In this harem, no one is innocent, and no one is absolutely clean, only the difference in the blood on his hands." Before the queen gave birth to Nangong Jing, why were there so many children in the palace who were either stillborn or died after birth? Why do concubines keep having one corpse and two lives? Why is there only a princess and no prince who survived? Why have you ever thought about it? Nangong Heng stared at Han Yue with burning eyes and said word by word.

According to the meaning of Nangong Heng's words, these things were all done by the queen?! After listening to the words, the clothes behind Hanyue were soaked with cold sweat. I didn't expect that the gentle and virtuous queen, who looked dignified and generous, would do such a hurtful thing. It's really hard to draw dragons and tigers, and you don't know your heart.

Han Yue's eyebrows jumped, and she said, "What if Liu Yuanzhi and I pull the queen off the horse?" Will you let us live in peace? It's hard to guarantee that we won't be eliminated for your great cause and for your mother's concubine in the end. Unload the mill and kill the donkey, and the bird hides the bow. ”

At the mention of the word concubine, Nangong Heng's face changed slightly, and he gradually restrained the uninhibited smile that had been on his lips, and a dim and unknown light flashed in his eyes, "Concubine Ning Xian? Heh, everyone in the palace thinks that Concubine Ning Xian and my mother are sisters, and even my father thinks so, but I clearly know that the truth of the matter is not the case! At the beginning, she did not hesitate to poison my mother for her own filthy selfishness. Therefore, for me, she is a mother-killing enemy, and she will not share the sky in this life! ”

In Nangong Heng's eyes, Han Yue seemed to see the raging fire, and as if she wanted to see the turbulent waves that wanted to sweep everything. However, it was only a short moment before he regained his composure, "Don't worry, since you are my allies, then I will never touch you." ”

Han Yue knew that Nangong Heng was born from the late Jing Xiu Rong and was later raised by Concubine Ning Xian, but she didn't know that there was such an entanglement. Such heavy news one after another, like waves coming one after another, overwhelmed the cold moon.

If it is said that Han Yue was not moved at all after listening to Nangong Heng's proposal, it is false, the best way to soothe hatred is revenge, and Han Yue doesn't want to watch Nangong Jing and Su Yanyan pay the price for what they did. But Han Yue thought of her kind parents, she is not alone, not to mention that the palace is full of crises, there is a high probability that there will be no return, she doesn't want her parents to send white-haired people to black-haired people, let alone drag her parents down. After thinking for a moment, Han Yue still categorically rejected Nangong Heng's proposal, "King Cheng, please go back." I will definitely find a way to repay the grace of saving my life, and I have no regrets about being a cow and a horse, but I will not do this matter. ”

After Nangong Heng heard this, he was not in a hurry or annoyed, but said meaningfully, "Don't make up your mind so early, you may agree, now follow me to a place." ”

The shouting on the street came and went, and there was an endless stream of people, Nangong Heng and Han Yue could also feel the liveliness of the market when they sat in the carriage, but at this moment, no matter how prosperous the scene was, it could not arouse the slightest interest of Han Yue.

After two hours, the carriage finally stopped. Nangong Heng motioned to Han Yue to lift the curtain of the car window, Han Yue didn't know why, she reached out and slowly opened the curtain with doubts. The place where the carriage stopped was in front of the Xiao Mansion, but at this time, the Xiao Mansion mourning flags were hung high in white cloth, the spiritual shed was set up, and the slaves all looked sad, looking miserable and depressed.

Nangong Heng sighed, his face was full of sadness and regret, and he said slowly, "That day, Su Pingyan went to Xiao Mansion early in the morning to report the funeral, and fortunately, he added some fuel and vinegar. Lord Shangshu was caught in smoke by Su Ping, and then heard the news of your death, so he vomited blood on the spot, and the old disease and the new disease were menacing, and he died in less than two days. And Mrs. Xiao, who lost her daughter and husband successively, was grief-stricken, and finally chose to live and die with Lord Shangshu. ”

Hanyue "buzzed" in her head, and then went blank, as if her entire world had collapsed in an instant.

Han Yue's body froze motionlessly, and after a while, she turned around suddenly, grabbed Nangong Heng's arm tightly with both hands, and asked tremblingly, "You, what did you say?" My dad and mother...... No, no, I don't believe it, no, you're lying to me, aren't you? My mom and dad are fine, you just want to trick me into doing things for you, yes, it must be like this, it must be like this. Hanyue said, her eyes filled with tears, "You say...... Are you lying to me...... You say......" Han Yue shook Nangong Heng almost frantically.

Nangong Heng looked at Han Yue clutching his hands, he frowned slightly but didn't do anything, just said lightly, "Actually, it's already very clear in your heart, isn't it?" ”

Han Yue let go of Nangong Heng's arm in despair, seeing that she was about to rush out of the carriage, but was stopped by Nangong Heng, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'm going to see my daddy, you let go!" Han Yue struggled to break free from Nangong Heng.

"Okay, then tell me, in what capacity are you going in now? Their daughter? Everyone in the world knows that Xiao Hanyue is dead! What's more, can you get in with the way you look now? How should it end if it caused an uproar? After speaking, Nangong Heng suddenly let go of Han Yue and said indifferently, "If you insist on going in, then go ahead, I won't stop you." ”

yes, what is my current self? Han Yue sat on the ground weakly, and suddenly cried without regard for anything, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances that had accumulated for a long time during this time. Nangong Heng glanced at Han Yue, and immediately stopped caring about her, so he closed his eyes and recuperated on the side.

Cold Moon's tears rippled, and she cried for a while before slowly stopping. Nangong Heng on the side slowly opened his eyes, and he saw that Han Yue was much calmer, so he asked, "But enough crying?" If you have enough crying, come in with me. After he finished speaking, he handed Hanyue a hat with a black veil, "Put it on and get out of the car." ”

Han Yue looked at the black gauze hat in his hand and was a little surprised, and he didn't react for a while. She didn't expect Nangong Heng to take her into the Xiao Mansion in person, and she didn't expect Nangong Heng to think so thoughtfully for her. Nangong Heng had already gotten off the carriage, Han Yue came back to her senses, she saw that Nangong Heng was already waiting next to the carriage, so she immediately put on a black gauze hat and followed the carriage.

The white flags and black curtains in the Xiao Mansion are hung high, and there is a sad appearance. Han Yue followed Nangong Heng and stepped into the gate of the Xiao Mansion, where Steward Liu was handling the funeral.

"Uncle Liu......" Han Yue looked at Steward Liu and called softly in her heart. When she saw an acquaintance who had grown up watching her, her eyes couldn't help but moisten again.

After Steward Liu saw Nangong Heng, he immediately stepped forward to salute, "The old slave has seen King Cheng." ”

Nangong Heng's face was also sad, he waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be polite today, Steward Liu still asks for condolences." ”

Steward Liu's face was full of sadness, and when he saw that Nangong Heng was so sincere, he bowed deeply, "Old slave, thank you for becoming the king." Afterwards, Steward Liu greeted Nangong Heng to the mourning hall, and Han Yue followed behind Nangong Heng, feeling extremely tormented in his heart. At this moment, she wanted to go, but she was afraid to go, and every step she took seemed so difficult.

In the center of the mourning hall are placed two pairs of cypress coffins, and there is an incense table in front of the coffin, which is sad and relative.

Steward Liu stood aside and handed over three sticks of incense, and Nangong Heng reached out to take it. He looked at Han Yue who was standing behind him again, and then said to Steward Liu, "My entourage has received the favor of Lord Shangshu, can you let her also put incense on the pillar for Lord Shangshu and his wife?" ”

When Steward Liu heard this, he ordered three more sticks of incense and handed them to Han Yue, who took the incense bundle and his hand trembled slightly. She followed Nangong Heng towards the incense case, but she walked extremely slowly, and her legs seemed to be filled with lead.

Han Yue bowed deeply to the coffins of Xiao Rin and Mrs. Xiao, and she secretly said in her heart, "Father, mother, forgive my daughter for being unfilial." As she thought about it, tears flowed uncontrollably, but fortunately the black veil covered her face, so that no one looked out of the ordinary.

After worshipping, Nangong Heng and Han Yue inserted the incense in their hands into the incense burner, Han Yue looked at the spiritual position of the second elder intently, and said in his heart, "You who should have enjoyed your old age are now going to sleep in the cold underground. If it weren't for Su Pingyan, if there was no Nangong Jing, none of this would have happened! My daughter swears that she will avenge you and make those who hurt us pay. Han Yue's eyes were firm at this time, and there was a fierce look that she had never seen before.

Out of the Xiao Mansion, Han Yue followed Nangong Heng back to the carriage, and the carriage headed towards the thatched house outside the city.

"Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to send my father and mother on their last journey." Han Yue expressed her sincere gratitude to Nangong Heng.

"Xiao Shangshu is a good official, and he has instructed me a little in government affairs, both public and private, I should bring you here to worship." Nangong Heng said.

Although Nangong Heng said so, Han Yue knew that he didn't need to do it at all. Even though Nangong Heng had the purpose of using her, Han Yue was still grateful, "No matter what, I still have to thank you." She paused for a moment, then said, "I agreed to what you said." ”

When Nangong Heng heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, as if he was a winner, "I said it, you will agree." ”
