At this time, it was already a child, the night was as dark as ink, and a bend of Xuanyue hung coldly in the air, Gong Xuanli fell softly on the roof of the General's Mansion Huating Garden, and hesitated and thought for a long time on the roof before deciding to go down.

"Xiao Mo?"

The room was even darker, Ning Zimo even extinguished the lamp that he kept by inertia at the moment, from the time she asked Yunu to go out to inquire about the news, two full hours have passed, and she has not come back, Ning Zimo was still able to read the book at the beginning and waited patiently, but after all, she couldn't bear the sleepiness, so she rested.

At the moment she was sleeping unsteadily, and in a daze she seemed to hear someone calling her name.

She woke up half-squinted, and saw a vague figure sitting on the side of her bed, and his familiar mint fragrance entered her nose, she felt relieved and incredible at the same time, and stood up with her elbows, looking at his face of wind and haste, and asked curiously: "Didn't you go to the National Temple in the afternoon?" How did you get back? ”

Her voice was half-asleep and hoarse, like a light yarn rubbing against Gong Xuanli's heart, and Gong Xuanli's heart was itchy, he couldn't help but raise his hand to gently hug the person in his arms, and then took off his shoes and socks and went to the bed, and whispered in her ear: "I miss you, I'll come back." ”

Maybe tonight is the only time he can hold Ning Zimo who is so quiet and well-behaved in the rest of his life, and he may not see Ning Zimo smiling at him like this for a long time.

"What nonsense, you still have important things to do in the National Temple tomorrow, why did you come back overnight?"

Although Ning Zimo didn't wake up, his mind was not confused, and he looked at him suspiciously.

"I just miss you."

Ning Zimo squinted, lying in his arms with peace of mind, like an obedient kitten, the whole person nested in his arms, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and continued: "Don't lie to me, we grew up together, you have something in your heart, but it's all written on your face, don't hide it from me." Say, what's wrong? ”

"It's not much, there was an accident in the palace, and I was called back overnight, I can't rest assured that you can't be relieved, so I'll come back to see you."

After saying this, the husband outside knocked on the third watch.

"Come back in the middle of the night? Say, what's going on? Is it that the five princes are dissatisfied with your return to the court, and secretly do something to you? ”

In fact, this jade slave didn't come back for a long time, Ning Zimo's heart was not very stable, worried that someone would attack him on the side of the National Temple and assassinate him, and he was also messy at night Thinking that his brain was a little swollen, he fell asleep.

"It's okay, don't worry about me. I didn't come back until the third watch in the middle of the night, I was a little delayed in the palace before, so I came to you so late. ”

Ning Zimo's heart was sweet when she heard this, and she said comfortably: "What? Half a step is not far away? ”

In fact, it's him, she's the same in the General's Mansion, when she doesn't have him, the kind of instability that rises in her heart always lingers in her heartstrings.

"So, Xiao Mo, you promise me that no matter what happens in the future, don't leave me, okay?"

"Huh?"

Her voice was raised sharply, and when she heard this, a trace of clarity was regained in her mind, and this time she simply sat up, staring at his eyes seriously, in the darkness, her eyes were dark and shining, and she looked at him for a moment: "Why do you say that?" ”

"Nothing."

He finished saying this sentence sullenly, and then put his furry head into her neck, wanting to kiss her neck, his red lips touched her skin, Gong Xuanli's face turned cold, and even the temperature on the narrow bed was cold: "The smell of Gong Xuanzheng?" You're going to see him again? ”

When Ning Zimo heard this, she felt weak for no reason, she had already bathed after returning home, how could this person still smell the traces of Gong Xuanzheng on her body?

But that's not the point at the moment, the man seems to be angry, at worst, a little angry.

She shrank back, moved away from him a little, and lied with little confidence: "No." ”

"You lied to me—"

He was calm and indifferent.

"We saw each other for a while."

She was a little lacking in confidence, and she didn't dare to look at him, knowing that what this man minded most was that he was talking to that Gong Xuanzheng.

He knew that she was lying, and a dull pain flashed in his heart, seeing that she seemed to be a little cautious and distant, he was reluctant to give up, raised his hand and encircled her in his arms again, not allowing her to struggle at all, and whispered in her ear: "No matter what you do, I won't blame you, I'm just afraid that Gong Xuanzheng will hurt you." ”

"He won't."

It seems that this should not be said, Ning Zimo can clearly feel Gong Xuanli's unhappiness and anger, Ning Zimo is indeed not mistaken, Gong Xuanli's whole body is full of terrifying anger, like the frost, covering Ning Zimo's heart layer by layer, she is a little trembling from the cold, she can't understand him more and more,

"You're speaking for him?"

Although it was an inquiring tone, Ning Zimo heard a positive taste in it, as if Ning Zimo blurted out that he wouldn't, that is, he was really speaking for Gong Xuanzheng.

"I didn't."

She explained in a snort, with a bit of resignation in her tone: "I didn't explain anything for him, it's just that we grew up together, and I've always had you alone in my heart, don't you know?" Or do you not believe me? ”

When she asked this sentence, Ning Zimo didn't expect that Gong Xuanli would also ask her the same sentence in the future.

From the condition that they are not ready to give birth to this child, the early arrival of this child has always been an obstacle between them, Ning Zimo always thought in her heart that her current humble and pitiful situation was completely because she was pregnant with this child, and she didn't know why, she always felt that this man was far from the man who grew up with her.

"I naturally believe you, Xiao Mo, do you believe me too?"

"Hmm."

Trusting this kind of thing is similar to ghosts and gods, you believe in it, you don't believe it, you don't have it,

Fragile trust, invisible and intangible, but will be like a grain of angular grit, grinding makes people hurt.

While speaking, Ning Zimo's sleepiness hit again, Gong Xuanli looked at her sleeping face, and wanted to wake her up several times, wanting to take the initiative to explain today's events.

He raised his hand, his rough fingers attached to Ning Zimo's red lips, and then leaned over and imprinted a shallow kiss on her forehead, and then got up sneakily and left the general's mansion.

It was already dark outside, and he left the general's mansion to the door of the fifth prince's mansion, the palace had already closed, but the candle flame in Gong Xuanzheng's study was still there, until he arrived at the door of this study, he did not alarm any of the secret guards in this palace.

He raised his hand to push the door, the evening breeze shook the candle flames, Gong Xuanzheng was watching the list of martial arts scientific examinations, thinking about how to arrange the confrontation, after all, the major events of the half-month martial arts scientific examination will start in early March, and many early work must be prepared.

This is a good opportunity to install a powerful assistant for himself in the DPRK and China.

Gong Xuanzheng will not let it go.

Moreover, Gong Xuanzheng, as the chief examiner, those who want to go crookedly have long been carrying a large amount of money and have come to this Gong Xuanzheng in private.

Gong Xuanzheng's personality is very simple, what he has identified, he desperately wants to get it, including the throne and that woman.

Gong Xuanli is also a simple person, what he wants to protect, he desperately wants to protect,

Gong Xuanzheng raised his head and saw Gong Xuan, who was dressed in black clothes, enter his study uninvited, and between the two confrontations, the eyes of the two met in the air, and in an instant, calcium carbide sparks, and invisible gunpowder smoke spread between the two.

Gong Xuanzheng was not surprised that Gong Xuanli would come to him, so he waited until it was so late at night, he slowly closed the booklet in his hand, and said: "Rare guest, come late, come a little later, and if you come a moment later, this king will have to go to bed."

"Since the fifth brother guessed that I would come to you, then he must have admitted that matter?"

Gong Xuanli's tone was sarcastic, this was the first time that Gong Xuanli came to confront Gong Xuanzheng in a bright and bright manner, he straightened his clothes, and didn't care about Gong Xuanzheng's cold attitude, so he sat down by himself.

"Sixth brother, what are you talking about, why can't I, the elder brother, understand, what can I admit?"

Gong Xuanzheng is also a person who can pretend, but Gong Xuanli is not annoyed, a pair of eyes looked at Gong Xuanzheng calmly, and only after a while did he speak: "This afternoon, something happened in the National Temple, and the fifth brother dares to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?" Earlier, I heard that on the night of receiving the prince of Yanbei, the fifth brother had already begun to deliberately approach the little princess of Yanbei, there were many people in the palace, and I heard several times that the fifth brother said that you walked and chatted with the little princess of Yanbei. Fifth brother, if you are interested in that little princess, you can make it clear to the sixth brother that we will go with our father to play Ming, although there is a holy decree to give her to me as a concubine, my father is such a reasonable person, and he will definitely not break you up with the little princess of Yanbei. ”

Gong Xuanzheng was happy when he heard this, and the corners of his lips hooked up a decent arc: "Sixth brother, what do you say?" Sixth brother, are you talking about the little princess who lost her innocence? This thing has been spread all over the palace and outside the palace, didn't you do it? Besides, this matter has nothing to do with me, I accompanied Zi Mo to eat tea in the private room of Yihong Mansion all afternoon today, and I paid my heart for an afternoon, and I didn't send her back to the palace until dinner, so ah, sixth brother, don't rely on me for this matter. ”

When Gong Xuanzheng was speaking, tenderness flashed in his eyes, and it was the gentleness in this moment that made Gong Xuanli feel cold, but he took a deep breath and desperately suppressed the hatred in his heart.

"Besides, that's the princess that your father chose for you, fifth brother, I borrowed a gut from the sky, and I didn't dare to touch your sixth brother."

Gong Xuanli nodded and said with a smile: "I don't know when you started playing this game of chess, Fifth Brother, but I can also tell you with certainty that even if you do everything, it will be impossible for you to want my woman in this life." ”

Gong Xuanzheng knew who he was referring to, it was definitely not the little princess of Yanbei, but the woman named Ning Zimo.

The two of them always had calm faces, but there was endless anger in their eyes, Gong Xuanzheng gritted his teeth, and then smiled indifferently: "Sixth brother, you still want to think about what you will do tomorrow after Zi Mo knows about this matter." ”

Hearing this, Gong Xuanli couldn't hold back his calm face anymore, and slammed the tea cup in his hand, and the fragments pierced deeply into his palm in an instant, and after a while, the bright red blood flowed along the lines, but he didn't feel pain, his brows didn't wrinkle, but his tone was cold: "So you want Xiao Mo to have a miscarriage?" You obviously know that Xiao Mo cares about me so much, and you dare to ask someone to pretend to be my identity to take away the innocence of the little princess and blame me for this matter. ”
