Chapter 13: The Moon Maze Crossing

Ni Tingxuan also saw his figure, looked at his expression, and couldn't help but ask a little eagerly: "What's the matter, is there any news from my father?" ”

"The lord is fine...... Dou Feng walked into the corridor, glanced at the two of them, and stopped talking again, with indescribable bitterness and resentment between his expressions.

An ominous thought suddenly rose in Ni Tingxuan's heart, "Isn't it...... ...... in the capital," he asked, his voice trembling.

"Yes...... It was Miss and Mrs. ......."

"Madame and sister, what's wrong with them?!" His voice instantly rose with fear of disbelief.

"They were all killed by the Liao...... Dou Feng's eyes were faintly tearful, and he lowered his head with a gloomy expression.

Ni Guifei and the county lord of Jingchang are dead! Ni Yuan's wife and daughter are ......

At first hearing the news, Su Mi next to him was also in a trance, and then thought that when Ni Yuan left them in the capital, he should have had such a worst expectation.

"How did you die?!" Ni Tingxuan asked tremblingly, his voice hoarse and dry.

Dou Feng had a sad and angry look on his face, but he didn't speak, but the deep hatred and shame between his expressions had clearly told Ni Tingxuan and Su Mi what happened to them.

Ni Tingxuan only felt dizzy in an instant, and his body shook uncontrollably a few times, but fortunately, Dou Feng quickly held on to it so that he didn't fall.

Su Mi's heart was cold, thinking of the brutality of the Liao army, and the tragedies he saw during that time when he was deeply trapped in the palace.

She suddenly thought that if it weren't for herself and Ge Chengming to set such a plan to move Jiangdong away. If it weren't for himself and Qi Hao teaming up to kill the poisonous hand divine doctor Gao Yuanwen, their mother and daughter would not have fallen to such a point.

Just like your own ......

This realization made Su Mi spread deep fear from the bottom of his heart. The misty water vapor in front of her seemed to turn into a stagnant blood-colored mist, surging towards her, lingering.

She is avenging her family, and she has succeeded in making her enemies taste the same pain as herself. At this time, she should laugh, she should be satisfied, and she should be hearty. She thought about it day and night. She racked her heart, she endured humiliation. Isn't this the moment when she is plotting and seeking the land?

However, when she heard such news at this time, why couldn't she laugh?

Before Ni Tingxuan could get out of the bad news he had just gotten, he saw Su Mi's body shaking and shaking.

She leaned against the railing on one side and looked up. The look on her face was dejected, and then she began to laugh, as if she were laughing, but the smile was perfectly lifeless.

He stared blankly at the pale smile, couldn't help but step forward to support her, and asked in shock, "Are you...... What's wrong? ”

Feeling a pair of hands supporting his crumbling body, Su Mi struggled to look up at Ni Tingxuan. But I only felt a blur in front of me.

What is he saying?! What is his expression now?! Does he hate me? I put his mother and sister in such a situation. Su Mi wanted to open her eyes to see clearly, but no matter how hard she tried, his face was always blurry. ，

With a hard stry, she broke free from his restraints and strolled down the steps. The raindrops fell on her, causing a deep chill to fill her body.

In the courtyard, the fiery red maple leaves seem to bloom to the flowers, condensing the lush blood, and the autumn wind blows, mixed with raindrops falling on it, making a low whimpering and sobbing sound. A few leaves could not stand the force, and fell silently, falling to the muddy ground washed by the heavy rain, like pearls and jade falling into the dust. The splendid Luo skirt is splashed with blood.

She remembered the gorgeous figure surrounded by gold and jade. Like a blooming peony, gorgeous and proud. She remembered again in the dim light. The silver-purple glimmering with a faint light, haggard and desperate, but like a strong silvery-white magnolia, straight and independent of the storm.

It's all gone, it's all gone.

Why did she hear that the enemy's relatives had suffered the same experience as her own family, and she only felt the pain in her heart, dull and bitter, without the slightest imaginary heartiness and happiness of revenge? What did she get for such painstaking revenge?

It's chilling to the bone.

In the haze, she saw him approaching her quickly, with nervousness and anxiety on his face, as if he was shouting something to her, but she couldn't hear a word, only felt that something heavy and oppressive pressed down on her that she couldn't bear, and she couldn't dodge, and she didn't want to dodge.

Then she felt a pair of hands hugging her and holding her tightly to keep her from falling into the dust and to shield her from the raindrops. She barely looked up, and with one last glance she saw him seemingly calling out excitedly, and she fell into darkness.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

That night, Su Mi fell ill, which was the first time she fell ill since entering Yongzhou.

The days that followed, as if I had fallen into an endless dream. In the dark, she would always dream of that proud and gorgeous figure, and in a trance, that gorgeous and sharp face would turn into Wei Qing'er's sad and sad expression, and then turn into her sister's desperate and bloody face...... Interspersed and interspersed, it is not clear to distinguish each other.

Morning and dusk overlapped, and she didn't know how long it was, but in the haze, she felt that a white-bearded doctor came to check her pulse, and they carried a faint medicinal fragrance as warm as her father-in-law. Someone fed the bitter medicine into her mouth and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Every time I wake up, I will see Ni Tingxuan's nervous and concerned face, but it is more and more haggard every time.

I don't know how long it took, Su Mi finally came to her senses, she tried to open her eyes, she felt the pain in her throat like fire, she moaned softly.

The bead curtain around him moved slightly, and a figure on the table in front of the windowsill was suddenly shocked. He came to his senses, immediately stood up, took three steps and two steps, rushed to the bed, and looked at her in surprise: "Are you awake!?" ”

Su Mi blinked and wanted to speak, but felt an unbearable stinging pain in his throat. Only intermittent moaning sounds.

Without waiting for Su Mi's instructions, Ni Tingxuan poured out a cup of tea from the glass jar on the table. Picked up Su Mi, and then handed it to her lips.

Su Mi wanted to reach out and take the cup by herself, but she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand, so she had to take a few sips on Ni Tingxuan's hand.

The warm water moistened his dry throat, and wisps of warmth flowed through his body, and Su Mi was completely awake. She looked up and saw that Ni Tingxuan was looking at her intently, his eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep for a long time, and his face was a lot haggard.

It's just that kind of joy from the heart that refreshes the tired face.

Feeling Su Mi's gaze, his face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and said, "You finally woke up, the doctor said that you were too attentive, so that you were exhausted." Nervous and tired, coupled with too many emotional fluctuations, I can't bear the ...... for a while"

"I know. Su Mi interrupted him with words, she knew her condition better than anyone else.

Ni Tingxuan looked up at her, wanting to say something, but he stopped talking. Finally, he just asked softly, "Do you want to drink water again?" ”

Su Mi shook his head, undisguised exhaustion on his face.

Ni Tingxuan put down the cup and said, "You haven't eaten for two days, I'll ask the kitchen to boil clear porridge, let's drink a little first." ”

Looking at his worried gaze, Su Mi nodded hesitantly.

Ni Tingxuan got up and took the cushion, helped Su Mi to lean on, and advised: "You lie down for a while, and I'll call someone to bring it over." ”

Su Mi lay back on the soft cushions, and she turned away from him. into the eyes. The auspicious silver thread pattern on the curtain shimmers.

She knew about her condition, and this was the first time she had fallen ill since leaving the capital. Although it was just a simple exhaustion, it was the accumulation of all kinds of twists and turns in the past few years, and these tiredness and depression that she had forcibly suppressed on weekdays found a reason for the outbreak, and finally vented the pain without reservation.

Similarly, she also knew what Ni Tingxuan wanted to ask just now, and he wanted to ask why hearing that news would make her feelings fluctuate so violently. Presumably, he also knows the rumors of disagreement between himself and Ni Guifei.

How does this make her answer?

Su Mi smiled bitterly, and her heart was as sore as this body.

The moonlight outside the window is thick, and there is a faint sound of autumn insects chirping, and the sound is sad, presumably to understand, autumn is getting stronger, and winter is not far away.

The bead curtain moved slightly, Su Mi turned her gaze, it was Ni Tingxuan who came back, followed by the maid Cai Ru who served her, holding a cloisonné tray in her hand, and the bowl of orchid porcelain exuded a steaming heat and aroma.

Cai Ru carefully served Su Mi and drank the bowl of porridge.

Warm food flows into the body, and tiredness seems to be expelled by this warm aroma. Su Mi felt that his strength had recovered a little.

Waved away the maid, she reclined on the bed, looked up at Ni Tingxuan standing beside the bed, and asked softly, "What are you busy with these days?" How are the preparations for land acquisition? She turned her gaze to the bookcase next to the window, which was cluttered with official documents.

When did he move his office here?

Ni Tingxuan followed her gaze, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Grain and grass are being prepared, and it is estimated that troops will be sent next month." ”

"Hmm," Su Mi nodded.

Winter has arrived, the north is unbearably cold, at this time it is really not a wise move to send troops to Northern Liao, but the situation is in crisis, and it has to be done. The battle must have been incredibly hard.

Her eyes looked out the window, and the silver hook was hanging in the sky, and no matter from any corner of the world, the crescent moon she saw was so lonely. Presumably, from the vast grassland of Northern Liao, the round of moonlight seen will be even colder and unbearable.

"Next month...... I'm going with you, too. Su Mi turned his gaze to Ni Tingxuan, and seemed to say casually.

"Ah," Ni Tingxuan, who was about to clean up those papers, had a dull expression, turned around in disbelief, and asked in a lost voice, "What did you say?!" ”

"I said I'd go with you, too. Go to Beiliao. Su Mi still said quietly, her tone was flat and resolute.

"But you're a woman......" Seeing that Su Mi's expression didn't look like a joke, Ni Tingxuan couldn't help but say.

"Could it be that in your eyes, I am just an ordinary woman?" Su Mi interrupted him and asked without showing weakness. After a long illness, his gaze is still full of sharpness.

Ni Tingxuan was stunned by the clear and penetrating gaze that penetrated into people's hearts, and then couldn't help but bow his head a little crampedly. He understood the meaning of Su Mi's words. Since the moment I saw her in a village in the mountains on the outskirts of the capital. He understood that she was not a simple palace concubine. Those "simple" underground palace concubines are either dead now, or suffering in the harem of Daqi.

He had secretly sent someone to investigate her. Knowing that there is an inexplicable connection between her and some hidden forces in the capital.

"How much do you know? For me. Su Mi's eyes drooped slightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she looked at his cramped and nervous posture with a little amusement and asked.

Ni Tingxuan's face turned red, as embarrassed as if he had been caught red-handed by peeping into other people's privacy, and unconsciously picked up and put down the documents in his hand.

For the first time, the two looked directly at this sensitive topic.

“…… I don't know much, the Ge Hong who entered the palace to paint for you is Ge Chengming, a famous man in the old guard. Now it is under the command of Prince Nan Chen Cheng. Ni Tingxuan hesitated for a moment, and finally said the truth.

Su Mi was secretly frightened, Ni Tingxuan's words obviously told her that he already knew about the existence of Donglai Lou and the connection between himself and Nan Chenwei's forces.

For Yongzhou's intelligence system, she never dared to underestimate it. But they didn't expect that they knew it in such detail and directly, but they were afraid that Mr. Ge's subordinates also had the inside line inserted by Ni Yuan.

It's just a simple sentence, but it covers almost all the secrets. Even the most secret point has touched the tip of the iceberg.

Fortunately, Su Mi is absolutely confident in his true identity.

"My father is Su Weiming. Su Mi sighed lightly and said calmly.

Ni Tingxuan's eyes flashed, and the same simple sentence made him grasp almost all of Su Mi's secrets in an instant.

For Qi Long's favorite concubine, the identity of the daughter of a patriotic mountain doctor is a well-known thing in the powerful and wealthy families of Great Qi, but no one expected it. This mountain doctor turned out to be the Xuanji Divine Doctor who retreated to the mountains and forests.

Everything has a reasonable explanation, Ge Chengming was a famous person in the old Wei period, and it is reasonable for him to intersect with the Xuanji Divine Doctor in the mountains and forests of the Hidden Guard. It's just that the Xuanji Divine Doctor has been dead for many years, and only Su Mi is left alone in the Wei Palace, and he was naturally submerged into the Daqi court when the Wei Guo broke the city, and then by chance, he resumed contact with Ge Chengming and others......

Ni Tingxuan's heart became relaxed, Su Mi's secret had always been a burden on his heart, which made him panic. I couldn't see the blurry distance. The two faced each other honestly. It gave him a sense of relief.

"I see. He smiled frankly.

"So, I'm not a virtuous and chaste concubine. Su Mi turned his head sideways and asked with a mischievous mentality: "But don't you feel surprised by the evil people with evil intentions in Daqi?" ”

Ni Tingxuan couldn't help but smile and said with a slight bitterness: "In this regard, what qualifications do I have to say about you." "Who else can compare to his father. After 20 years of concentrating on business, once it was difficult, the world was overturned.

Maybe when he first saw her, he already faintly felt that she was different,

At that time, she was dressed in plain clothes, standing on the shore in the wind, her eyebrows were as light as smoke, her eyes were as clear as water, and the two of them were very close to the ground, but they were like flowers separated from the fog, hazy and ethereal. He couldn't help but indulge in it.

She is not a simple harem concubine, not one of the many flowers that are purple and red, and resplendent with gold. There was a vast world in her eyes, which could not be stopped by the far-reaching palace walls. As she stared into the distance, nothing seemed to break her wings and restrain her freedom.

Ni Tingxuan looked at her stupidly, Su Mi was stared at by his focused and warm eyes, and his heart was slightly embarrassed, thinking of the lie he had just told him, Su Mi felt a kind of anxiety in his heart for no reason.

Although strictly speaking, she is not lying, Mr. Ge and her stepfather are also close friends, and she only retains part of the facts, keeping the secret of her own bloodline.

But such a simple reservation made her feel an unbearable weakness of heart under this burning gaze.

She raised her head, interrupted his thoughts, and said, "In this way, I am always qualified to go with the army, presumably the army also needs doctors." ”

"But you don't know martial arts after all, the situation on the battlefield is in crisis, changing rapidly, you are a ......" Ni Tingxuan still shook his head and denied.

"No, I'm going to go anyway!" Su Mi interrupted him with a raised voice, and his tone was categorically almost willful, looking at him with a look like a gamble.

Faced with such Su Mi, Ni Tingxuan smiled bitterly, with a helpless look on his face.

That almost doting look made Su Mi stunned, and his face was slightly red.

In the end, I habitually shouted a voice, a monthly pass, a monthly pass, a monthly pass, ....... . .
