Chapter 117: Parting and Death (2)
"Let it be! The world is so big, there is always a place to stay. He groaned for a moment, and in the end he still told the truth, but he only skipped a word: "I was demoted out of Beijing, and I can't come back without any reason." β
Chu Cong was so sensitive, he immediately thought of one thing, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know each other with the abolished Queen Dusk?" β
Wei Nong didn't want to hide it from him anymore, and finally replied truthfully: "I am Du Wei Nong." β
Chu Cong was surprised when he heard this: "But you...... You ......"
"I'm not a royal family, I ...... It's a misidentification. After returning to Yanguo, due to various reasons, he was forced to marry Nie Xingyi. The helplessness in the slightly thick words cannot be concealed.
"No wonder ......" Chu Cong suddenly realized: "No wonder after Huan Mei died, my father said that the crown princess Du clan broke into the Xuanzheng Palace angrily and forced Nie Xingyi to dispose of Ding Jiuche's father and son." I said it was just a coincidence......"
When he said this, he was obviously a little moved, hesitated for a while, and still said thank you.
Wei Nong didn't dare to take it, and the color of guilt became more and more obvious.
Chu Cong opened his mouth and asked again: "The wind is spreading in the DPRK and China...... said that it was a move to abolish the post, and it was related to the assassination of Nie Xingyi. Do you really ...... Did you stab him? β
"yes!" He smiled slightly: "Otherwise, where did this waste will come from?" β
Chu Cong saw that her expression was as usual and she was not disappointed, so she knew that this matter had fulfilled her wishes, and only said, "It's okay." Nie Xingyi is not worthy of you at all, this dirty and filthy Yanwang Palace, don't stay still. β
"Is this your approval of me?" Wei Min smiled again: "Thank you, I'm very happy." β
Chu Cong coughed a little awkwardly, and returned to the topic: "Then you ...... back What are you going to do? β
"Not yet." Wei's thick eyes gradually drifted, as if he was longing for something, and said after a while: "It's useless to think too much, let's detoxify the poison first." β
Chu Cong lowered his head and thought about it, and then asked, "Then when you go to Jiang Kingdom, you will see Sister Wang and ...... And my second brother? β
Wei Nong suddenly remembered the poisonous oath that King Chu had forced her to make when he was alive - "If I see Chu Heng again, please God punish my country for ruining my family and losing my love forever." β
There are many times in a person's life when they will go back on their word and go back on their word; But there are always some people and things that will make them want to stick to it, and they dare not have the slightest recklessness and deception.
Everything about Chu Li, including his family, was the latter that Wei Nong wanted to follow.
Thinking of this, she replied with some regret: "If I have the opportunity, maybe I will visit Queen Jiang; But Chu Heng ...... I promised your father that I would never see you again. β
"I see, that's ......" Chu Cong's expression was very intriguing, as if he was thinking about something.
Wei Nong saw that he had been concerned about his going to Jiang Kingdom, so he said: "It's okay, if you have a letter that needs to be handed over, you don't have to be polite to me, even if you can't see Chu Heng, I can also hand it over to Queen Jiang." β
"Thank you for your kindness, I have a private contact with my second brother." Chu Cong said this, frowned and sighed: "As for Sister Wang, I was still young when she left the Chu Kingdom, and my father forbade talking about her for so many years, and until now, I don't know what happened at the beginning...... Perhaps, she doesn't remember me anymore. β
"How could it be?" Wei Nong comforted: "If she doesn't remember you, she won't ask to replace Chu Heng." β
"It's not the same. My two elder brothers are the ones that Sister Wang watched grow up......" Chu Cong sighed, didn't say anything further, and took the initiative to mention: "By the way, I have been on the fold a few years ago, and I ask to send my father Wang and Sister Huan back to their homeland for burial...... Nie Xingji agreed. β
"Whether it is public or private, whether it is reasonable or reasonable, he should allow it." Slightly thick naturally evaluated.
Chu Cong's expression froze, and he heard a little clue from this sentence, as if he knew Nie Xingji very well. However, he didn't ask much after all, but said: "I will personally help the soul to return to China." β
This sentence made Wei Nong a little surprised: "Will he let you go back?" β
"Yes! I didn't expect that either. Moreover, he took the initiative to bring it up. Chu Cong laughed self-deprecatingly: "Maybe he didn't take me seriously at all, and felt that I couldn't make any trouble, so he wasn't afraid to let me go back." β
Wei Nong was worried that he really had the intention of recovering the country, so after thinking about it for a while, he wanted to persuade him, but Chu Cong had already smiled and said: "Don't worry, I still have this bit of self-knowledge." Moreover, several of my uncles and aunts are still in Yan Kingdom, and I don't dare to act rashly. β
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, looked at his palm prints, and said, "When I was just born, a master told my fortune for me, saying that I was destined for a bad fortune and would be killed. I always felt that I was not accurate, but when the state of Chu was defeated, I thought that this was to make me take up the ambition of restoring the country. But recently I realized that it wasn't. β
Wei Nong was confused when he heard this, and he didn't understand what he meant.
Chu Cong gradually showed a ruthless expression: "Ding Jiuche's family was exiled to the southwest, and I helped Ling to return to China on the way to solve him." β
Wei Nong was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly advised: "Don't act rashly." β
Chu Cong smiled weirdly: "Don't worry, Nie Xingji naturally acquiesced in this matter, and he also assigned me five hundred Praetorian Guards, who can not only monitor me on the way, but also help me." β
"I really didn't expect that Ding Jiuche was such a failure, so down, Nie Xingji refused to let him go. I also heard that before his son asked to behead, he was also castrated......" The word "cut" was about to be exported, Chu Cong suddenly reacted that there was a woman in front of him, and it was really indecent to mention these things, so he immediately stopped and said slightly: "In short, it's really retribution!" β
Wei Nong naturally heard it clearly, but she didn't know what Chu Cong meant by this, and she didn't even know if he mentioned it deliberately or unintentionally, so she kept silent.
The two were relatively silent for a moment, each with their own thoughts. In the end, he resumed the conversation: "Since then, I don't know if there will be a chance to see you again in this life, no matter what...... Please take care. β
Chu Cong nodded, and he didn't know if it was sad or what, his mood suddenly dropped a little: "Let's go, let's go, I'm scattering, these days are getting more and more sad." β
"In life, there are always unsatisfactory things. And all we can do is to live as well as we can as well as possible. Wei said lightly.
"Let's encourage each other!" Chu Cong finally sighed lightly: "You also take care." β
*****
Wei Nong returned to the Yanwang Palace, not wanting that Nie Xingji had already come to Weiyang Palace to wait for her.
This is the first time the two have met since the 27th of the lunar month last year, and more than a month has passed.
Nie Xingji was sitting in her dormitory, and when she saw her come in to change her clothes, the first thing she said was: "Why are you thin again?" β
Wei Nong looked down at his palace clothes, as if he had lost some weight, and now he couldn't even hold up his clothes loosely.
"Let me see your arm." His voice was mellow and deep, unlike anything he had ever heard before.
Wei Nong was not a cowardly person, and sat directly opposite him, lifting up his sleeves and stretching out a white wrist. Her complexion grew fairer, but it was not the same as before, but it became a weak, sickly white, and so did her complexion.
As a result, the purple line was even more hideous and terrifying, like a weird, slender snake, gradually climbing up her jade arm.
Nie Xingji compared it with his hand, and there was a hint of happiness in his words: "It's okay that it hasn't gotten any longer." β
Slightly rolled up his sleeves, and finally had the opportunity to thank him in person: "Thank you for being willing to fulfill me." β
Nie Xingji seemed to have calmed down, and he didn't show any more depression, at least his expression was very light: "I have already agreed with Jiang Guo, in April this year, let Lian Kuo take you to detoxify." His master is known as the 'Poison Saint' in Jiang Kingdom, and even if he can't detoxify with medicine, he can use Gu. β
"Use Gu?" Wei Nong has always been a little afraid of Gu worms and the like, and he can't help but reveal a trace of fear: "How to solve it?" β
"Use the Gu worm to suck out all your poisonous blood, and," he paused, "exchange blood." β
"Exchange blood." A slightly thick expression instantly stiffened.
Nie Xingji stared at her, and suddenly smiled: "You are still the same as before, you are not afraid of the sky and the earth, but you are only afraid of small insects." He seemed to be caught up in some kind of memory, and laughed again: "Do you remember, when we first met, you ...... once"
"I forgot." Veron knew what he was talking aboutβhe was staying with her in an inn with two rooms next to each other. She was bathing in her room, and a caterpillar fell into the tub, and she screamed in fright, and then he broke down the door next door......
It's a very old-fashioned story, and it's also embarrassing. But that was the first time she really realized the difference between men and women, and it was also the first time her heart sprouted. After falling in love with each other, he laughed at her countless times about it.
It turns out that everything has passed so long.
All of a sudden, those sweet memories flooded over her and filled her mind. He had shaken her hand, kissed her on the cheek, delivered her heart's content, and promised her...... It also broke her heart.
Wei Nong forced himself to come to his senses, facing up to the fragmentation in the past few years, and wanted to say something, but Nie Xingji saw through it at a glance.
"This is where my mother lived when she died." He preemptively said, turning his eyes to the dressing table not far away: "However, I haven't been here for a long time. β
Wei Nong didn't know what he was going to say, so she had to watch him quietly.
Nie Xingji looked at the clear bronze mirror, and there were two figures of a man and a woman vaguely reflected in the mirror, so close to each other, but so far away. He said slowly: "Every time you come, you must always be vulnerable. But I'm not used to being vulnerable. β
Wei Nong spoke: "Then you can ......"
"Don't say anything that spoils the fun." He turned his head to look at her, intercepted her unspoken words again, and said solemnly, "I want to ask you to promise one thing. β
Wei Nong'e frowned slightly, refusing to agree: "You say it first." β
Nie Xingji seemed to have expected her to be on guard, and his expression was gloomy: "We only have two months left...... I ask you, give me another chance. β
Wei Nong seemed to understand what he meant, and seemed to be a little confused: "What chance?" β
"Just like ever." Nie Xingji spoke vaguely and straightforwardly, revealing a hint of hoarseness in his words.
Slightly thickened eyes: "This is self-deception." β
"I know." Nie Xingji looked at her hesitation: "I won't do anything out of the ordinary." I just ......"
He didn't say any more, but Wei Nong knew what he meant. Even when she lowered her eyes, she could feel his pleading gaze.
He was finally willing to let go! These last two months are really the only time they have left! Wei smiled faintly, but the smile was so heavy, as if it couldn't even carry this vast world.
She laughed for a long time before Nie Xingji heard her ethereal response: "Okay." β
