Chapter 140: Retreat and Advance
When Tu Qitang and Qing Ling found out that Liu Ye was not in the dormitory, it was already too late, in the huge dormitory, there was no one in sight, and the bedding on the low couch was scattered on the ground, rushing up to test the temperature, it was also cold. There was not a trace of suspicious clues left around, Liu Ye didn't look like she was kidnapped, but she left by herself.
"This, this is impossible, it is impossible for the queen to go back without telling us, she is just going out for a walk......" Qingling immediately panicked, she had just sent away the division, and repeatedly promised that she would take good care of Liu Ye, who would have expected that in the blink of an eye, Liu Ye would be gone, she couldn't accept this fact.
"Sect Master, don't worry, the queen won't leave, she woke up and didn't see us, she was uneasy, so she got up and walked around, maybe she was looking for us everywhere!" Qing Ling said incoherently, pulling Tu Qitang's sleeve and walking out, "Go back and look for it, maybe you can meet ...... in the middle of the road"
Tu Qitang also hoped that what Qing Ling said was true, but the panic in her heart for no reason could not be explained, since Liu Ye learned that Wan Nian was imprisoned by the mud, she sat still uneasy, with her character, she would never sit idly by and let Wan Nian be in danger.
However, she is already pregnant, and it seems unlikely that she wants to avoid the guards and palace maids and go out of the palace to the grassland alone. But if there is someone to help, who will it be? Could it be someone sent by the mud? If this was the case, they were too careless before, and they didn't even notice that the muddy eyeliner had sneaked into the palace.
"Let's go, sect leader, don't be stunned here, the queen can't find us and is in a hurry, she won't go far, definitely won't ......" Qing Ling said what it was like not to appear, there was a panic in his heart, but there was an indescribable fear, as if he would never find Liu Ye again.
"Wait!" Tu Qitang gathered his mind and carefully checked the surrounding scene, and he found that the lamp on the desk next to the couch was actually lit. It's still daytime, and there's plenty of light inside and outside the house, so why light this lamp? Did Liu Ye order it when he was leaving? Or did someone else order it? No, others don't deliberately light the lamp to arouse suspicion, so what does Liu Ye want to tell them through this lamp?
"Qingling, look!" Tuqitang pointed to the lamp and asked, "When we left, no one lit it, did we?" ”
Qing Ling blinked his eyes and said in surprise: "Of course, I gave the queen a needle just to let her have a good rest, and besides, now in broad daylight, why should I light the lamp in one move?" Oh, Master......"
Qing Ling thought of Tu Qitang's intention to ask, and hurriedly said, "You mean, this lamp was deliberately lit by the queen?" What is she trying to hint at us? ”
"I don't know if this lamp has a hint yet...... Tu Qitang didn't want to think about it, he didn't want Liu Ye to leave seriously, "Let's go look around first, maybe you're right, she just didn't see us and was uneasy and walked around." ”
"Well, yes, that's the case...... Qing Ling could only respond vaguely, but they all knew in their hearts that Liu Ye would not disappear for no reason, since she was pregnant, because her body was very weak, she had to be accompanied wherever she went. However, the palace maid beside Liu Ye is still waiting outside the hall, and she doesn't know the situation in the hall at all.
Tu Qitang and Qing Ling searched the entire palace, rummaged through all corners, and still didn't see Liu Ye's figure, the worry in their hearts was confirmed, Qing Ling couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a crying voice: "What to do, what to do this time, I obviously promised the master, I obviously agreed, but I can't even do this little thing, I actually let someone else take the queen away from under my nose......"
"I'm really damned, damned, I can't do anything, I just know that I get into trouble again and again, could it be that I'm a disaster, if it weren't for me, the queen wouldn't have conceived that bastard child, if it weren't for me, the queen wouldn't have disappeared inexplicably." Qing Ling was so anxious that he wiped his tears, "I can only report to Master Shi in 1510, the queen has been held hostage, nine times out of ten it is muddy, no, 100% it is him!" He must have known the news that the queen was pregnant, and he decided that the child was his, so he came up with so many ghost ideas to ask the queen to go back......"
Tu Qitang didn't know how to comfort Qing Ling, because he was also in turmoil now: "Don't cry, while it's still too late, I'll chase it over and see, if Ye'er is really taken away by the mud, I'll go and rescue her back, and there will be ten thousand years, save her together......"
"No, Master, you can't go!" Qing Ling regained some senses, "You have stabbed the mud, he hates you to the bone, if you go this time, he will not let you go." There are thousands of troops stationed there in the grassland, and if you are in danger, will the queen not be even more sad? Rest assured, the queen is pregnant now, even if she is really held hostage by Nimi, he will not treat the queen harshly, in these months, the queen is safe, there will be no danger for the time being, as long as the queen is here, there will be nothing for ten thousand years, and the queen will find a way to deal with Nimi. ”
"What you said is reasonable, but I didn't protect Ye'er well before, and now if I have to be patient, I can't do it!" Tu Qitang's handsome eyebrows and eyes were full of chagrin, "Ye'er's body is so weak, how can she withstand fright, and she has to be on guard at all times, how can you tell me to rest assured?" ”
"I know it's really difficult for you, but I have to discuss it with Master Shi first, and then we'll sum it up, do you think it's okay?" Qing Ling and Tu Qitang were talking, and returned to Liu Ye's dormitory, seeing that the light of the lamp was getting weaker and weaker, and said abruptly, "Our situation is like this lamp, it's getting dark, but the lamp is going out......"
"Lamp, lamp ......" Tu Qitang repeated thoughtfully, "I understand, I understand what Ye'er is going to tell me......"
Seeing Liu Ye again, Nimi pretended to be expressionless, but her heart was already overturned, and she involuntarily glanced at her bulging lower abdomen, and she was about to shout excitedly.
However, Nimi didn't treat Liu Ye only as the mother of his children, this woman was his worst enemy, an opponent he loved and hated, he loved her like crazy, and hated like crazy. He had never had this kind of feeling, tormenting himself to the point that life was worse than death, but he got infinite happiness in it.
"If you say that you miss this king and come back voluntarily, this king's mood will be better." Nimi poured a cup of tea for Liu Ye and pushed it in front of her, "Drink, there is no one to serve along the way, so I'm tired." ”
"Thank you for your concern, the concubines are not tired." Liu Ye also didn't have much expression, his words were respectful, but his tone was extremely indifferent.
"The king? Concubines? When Ni Mi heard her call herself the king for the first time, and called herself a concubine, his eyes were about to fall off in surprise, he stared at Liu Ye without blinking, and asked funny, "Do you know what you're talking about?" Queen? ”
Liu Ye smiled indifferently and raised his eyes to look at him: "The king will stop teasing the concubines, although the concubines are not tired, their heads are a little dizzy, if the king has nothing to explain, please allow the concubines to retire first." ”
Nimi nodded: "Since the queen is uncomfortable, this king naturally wants to allow you to step down." ”
Liu Ye bowed slightly to him, stood up and walked out of the tent, Nimi suddenly crossed the coffee table, caught up and grabbed her wrist, and before she could exclaim, he quickly picked her up and threw her on the bed. This series of movements is extremely fast, but it is also quite gentle, as if he is afraid of hurting her.
"King, the concubine is more than four months pregnant......" Liu Ye felt uncomfortable as soon as he stepped into the muddy bedroom, so he couldn't wait to leave, but he didn't expect the mud to agree, but he was unhappy in his heart, and he rebelliously suppressed her on the bed.
Liu Ye was embarrassed and indignant, and pushed him hard: "Go away, you give me a ...... away"
Nimi didn't hear it, no matter how she shouted, she didn't take it seriously, anyway, this was his grassland, and it would be useless for her to resist no matter how much she resisted. Gradually, Liu Ye also thought of this, her struggle was just in vain, she had already returned, and Nimi would not let her go easily.
Unbuttoning the last layer of clothes, Nimi saw Liu Ye's obviously bulging abdomen, his eyes lit up, and his joy was self-evident, he stretched out his hand, trembling over her lower abdomen, gently stroked it, and muttered: "Child, my child ......"
Liu Ye turned her face away, tears of mixed feelings poured out, she missed Tu Qitang frantically in her heart, but her body was in the mud. What kind of woman is she, is Tian shameless enough to describe it? She is not qualified to return to Tu Qitang, and she does not deserve Tu Qitang's love! She shouldn't be greedy for love in this life, she should have accepted her fate a long time ago, instead of hurting Tu Qitang again and again!
He was a father for the first time in his life, and at first he deliberately concealed it, but now he can't restrain himself. Ni Mi pulled the warm quilt over Liu Ye, stroked her long hair, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, I won't force you, besides, you are pregnant now, for the sake of our children, I won't mess around." ”
Hearing him say this, Liu Ye felt a little relieved, and said again: "From now on, I will accompany you every night until our child is born." I, the father, how can I miss the growth of my children, hehe, don't look at my usual impulsiveness, I will definitely be a good father......"
Nimi paused, looked at Liu Ye's tear-stained face, and said distressedly: "Do you know? I've changed a lot in the past few months, I've learned to control my emotions, I'm not as impulsive as I used to be, and I'm learning to be a good husband. ”
Liu Ye looked at him in a daze, speechless for a while, and said with a smile: "I understand that I can't live without you, Queen, I have to admit that I have long been in love with you, and I made you the queen at the beginning, not out of revenge, absolutely not!" I possess you in the name of revenge, because I love you too much, and I am afraid that you will refuse, so I can only selfishly possess you to fulfill my long-cherished wish. ”
"Why, don't you believe it?" Ni Mi doted and wiped away the tears on Liu Ye's face, and touched her smooth and soft cheeks, "You are not good to me, not good at all, as the saying goes, a husband and wife are a hundred days, but you only treat me as an enemy, and you don't remember the slightest love between husband and wife!" You ran away with the teacher in front of me, and even willing to be martyred with him, and later, I found a man to stab me with a sword, you thought I was dead, but I didn't, God destined us to be husband and wife, to go to the end together, I died, who will protect you? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, Master Shi and I are innocent, not what you said at all!" Liu Ye said angrily, "You have always thought that you are right, and you have never listened to a word of truth!" ”
Nimi was overjoyed: "Really? Do you have no feelings of affection for the teacher? ”
Liu Ye said impatiently: "We are companions from birth to death, like a family, for the kind of feelings that can die for each other!" ”
"I see!" Nimi breathed a sigh of relief, "In this case, I will have one less rival in love, Master Shi, maybe I will let him go." However, I will not allow the man who stabbed me to appear in front of us, or I will not spare him! ”
"You dare!" Liu Ye lost patience and pushed him away, "Nimi, my coming back doesn't mean that I can accept you, you and I know very well, if you don't use ten thousand years to blackmail me, how can I come back?" ”
Speaking of Wannian, Liu Ye's eyes were covered with tears: "You said you would change, I only saw you become more cruel and violent, Wannian is a military general, you actually, actually ......"
Recalling the severed hand, Liu Ye suddenly felt a tumbling in his stomach, got up and got out of bed, tucked the futon for her, turned his back to her and said coldly: "Wannian wants to assassinate me, how can you let me let him go?" If he doesn't even pursue his kind of madman, how can he stand up for his authority in the future? ”
"Thinking of the queen's affection, this king has already lost his hair, but he just cut off his hand, and he didn't want his life, why are you crying? What if he is a military general, the Wusun Dynasty will never use him again, this king promises you, arrange an easy errand for him, and let him live the second half of his life. ”
Liu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, sat up with his hands and forcibly supported himself, and forcibly endured the feeling of discomfort: "You say so, not only will you not let go of ten thousand years, but you also have to deal with the new dynasty?" ”
Nimi turned around, looked at her condescendingly, and mocked, "New dynasty? This king never recognized a new dynasty? Wusun has only one dynasty and one Kunmo, and no one wants to change it! Queen, don't rely on the favor of this king to do whatever you want, this king is willing to leave you and ten thousand years of life, it is already benevolent and righteous, you don't want to get an inch! ”
Liu Ye was anxious: "If you dare to touch a single hair of Yuan'er, I will fight with you!" ”
Ni Mi said disdainfully: "Yuan Guimi, that wild seed, even if this king can tolerate him, the Wusun royal family will not let him go." When you set him up as king, you should have thought about the consequences. Becoming a king or defeating a villain, he is not the opponent of this king, naturally there is only one way to die! ”
Liu Ye forced himself to calm down and sneered: "How do you know who is the king and who is the Kou, if you become Yuan'er's subordinate defeated, are you also ready to seek death?" ”
Nimi gritted her teeth, and suddenly leaned down and kissed Liu Ye's lips, Liu Ye was stunned, then reacted and bit his lips and tongue fiercely. The fierceness was too hard to fight him, so Nimi had to clasp her chin and force her to let go.
Liu Ye spat out a mouthful of blood and glared at him angrily: "Nimi, if you dare to mess around, I guarantee that you will die at my hands sooner or later, unless you kill me immediately." ”
The muddy tongue was bitten and numb, and he couldn't even speak, wiped the blood from his lips, and reluctantly said for a long time: "I said, your life belongs to me, and it is up to me to decide whether you live or die." Hmph, your life is used in exchange for 10,000 years, I have already given you enough face, and you are still delusional about keeping another yuan Guimi, why do you make a deal with me! ”
Liu Ye's hand covered his lower abdomen: "I'll use him to make a deal for you, the child in my belly is yours, but it's up to me whether to give birth or not, if you dare to move Yuan'er, I will kill him." ”
"What?" Nimi shook her head in disbelief, "Are you crazy?" He's your child, too! You sacrifice your children for someone you don't have to do? Damn, you dare to trade my children with me? ”
Ni Mi was dizzy, only to feel his head buzzing, Liu Ye stood up and looked at him directly: "I can do it, I don't even care about death, how can I care about a child who hasn't been born yet, Ni Mi, don't try to challenge my limits, if you don't believe it, just give it a try." ”
Of course, Nimi believed it, and he smiled bitterly: "Okay, good, this king promises you, queen, this king is willing to make this deal with you, you take care of the baby, and this king promises not to find trouble with Yuan Guimi." ”
Seeing that Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't get angry, stepped forward and grabbed her neck, and said hatefully: "Isn't what I just said enough to move you?" We are husband and wife, you should have the same heart with me, but you trade my children, and if you do this, you are not afraid of losing my love? ”
Liu Ye looked at him coldly: "Love? You don't deserve to say that, you only love yourself, you never care about other people's feelings! People like you deserve to be lonely for the rest of their lives, so I don't care to be with you, and you can't keep my heart. ”
Nimi's hand increased its strength, Liu Ye closed his eyes, his cheeks flushed, he couldn't help but make a sound, and he would never beg for mercy from him. She really has the heart to die, she is really not afraid of death, nothing can make her change her mind, he can only endure her cold eyes, and ask for her warmth without dignity.
"Even if you can only keep your people, this king is willing!" Nimi let go of her, her indifferent eyes were like ice, "You say that this king is selfish and never cares about other people's feelings, yes, this king is this kind of person!" Queen, even if you disdain, you have to be with such a selfish person, this is your fate! ”
The mud brushed away, Liu Ye sat on the bed, let the tears flow, and a smile of unyielding defeat rose on his lips: "Life, I don't believe in fate, if there is really a providence, I will not do what you wish." ”
Ni Mi found the eyeliner maid who escorted Liu Ye and asked, "Has anyone been found?" ”
"No, the subordinates prepared a secret way out in advance, and no one found out that the queen had left." The palace maid told the truth, "The subordinates are sure that they have not been suspected by anyone before." ”
"Well done, then, did the queen do anything unusual before leaving?" Nimi asked again.
The palace maid thought carefully: "No, the queen was very flustered when she saw the severed hand, and she came back with her subordinates at that time. Oh, by the way, she lit a lamp as she was leaving......"
"Light the lamp?" Muddy frowned in confusion, "When you came, it was still daytime, what was she doing with the light?" ”
"The subordinates didn't know what the queen's intentions were, but the subordinates thought it didn't matter, so they didn't stop ......"
"It doesn't matter?" Nimi interrupted her angrily, "That woman has always been cunning, and she told you a long time ago to keep an eye on her and not leave any clues!" ”
"The subordinates are guilty, ask the king for forgiveness......" The palace maid quickly knelt down, her chin against her chest, and begged for mercy mournfully.
"Get out, get out, useless thing!" Nimi drove away the palace maid and meditated, "Lighting the lamp, what does she mean by doing this?" ”
