After the winter solstice, Nie Xingji personally sent Wei Nong to Xuanji Palace in Qianxia Mountain. There were more than 100 imperial doctors, eunuchs, and maids accompanying her, all of whom served her.

Nie Xingji originally wanted to bring Xiaoxin with him, but Wei Nong refused, so he didn't force it anymore.

"Give me two months, and after the first month, I will welcome you back in style." Nie Xingji walked forward.

"Send someone to send the Emei thorn over tomorrow, and I can practice my hands." Wei Nong replied.

Nie Xingji frowned: "No, your body has not healed." ”

"It's because of bad health that you have to be healthy." Wei Nong smiled: "Besides, I don't have any self-defense tools." ”

"Okay." Nie Xingji's expression was extremely soft, and he did not inquire about the whereabouts of the Thrilling Sword.

There are some things that they are deliberately avoiding. It's not that I don't want to ask, but this relationship that has only been healed with great difficulty is worth treating carefully, and neither of them wants to let it add scars, so they have to pretend that nothing happened, pretending to be unintentional.

In the whole wax moon, Nie Xingji came to see Weinong twice, and Ming Lianpian also came once. Wei Nong heard her say that Nie Xingji had begun to ascend the throne, and spread the news in the court, saying that Qin Tian's monitoring calculated that the Abolition of the Queen Dusk Clan was the queen's destiny, which would help Yucheng achieve great causes.

However, he did not immediately propose to marry the abolition queen, so although the people in the court were panicked, no one said it clearly. Wei Nong counted the time, and speculated that Nie Xingji should not express his position until after the first month.

To her delight, her injuries healed quickly, and by the end of the year, the wounds had completely healed. It's just that the scars on the back are too hideous, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get rid of for life.

The days of Xuanji Palace seem to be uneventful, but they are not slow, and Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived in a blink of an eye. In the past two years, although Nie Xingyi is still nominally the King of Yan, in fact, he has been sick and avoided, and the people have not taken this Yan King who has no achievements in their eyes, but Nie Xingji has become the god of war in the hearts of the people of Yan since he broke the Chu State, and his prestige is increasing day by day.

Therefore, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Nie Xingjian, as the actual ruler of the Yan Kingdom, naturally wanted to climb the city tower to celebrate with the people. It's just that his heart has already flown to Xuanji Palace, and he is always afraid that it will be too lonely for Wei Nong to keep the New Year alone, so he made a show on the tower of Nancheng, and galloped to Qianxia Mountain.

As soon as he arrived at Xuanji Palace, he couldn't wait to go straight to Zixia Garden, where Wei Nong lived. But to his disbelief, the room where the candles were flickering was empty, only a piece of paper parting, a few numbers:

"My wish has not been fulfilled, I dare not say goodbye, and since then, I have been in peace for a long time, life and death. Lian Hong is different, the criticism is not believed, the past is forgotten, and the end of the world is not read. Slightly thick characters. ”

Nie Xingji picked up the piece of paper lightly and read it word by word several times. He walked slowly in Zixia Garden, looked at all the rooms, and found that Wei Nong had taken nothing with him, except for the pair of Emei thorns.

Since then, life and death have been peaceful. Forget the past, don't miss the end of the world. He slowly folded the paper and placed it on the candle flame to burn, watching as it was engulfed in flames and eventually reduced to ashes.

It's like a true heart he completely held out, and tried his best to care for it, but after all, he couldn't make up for the rift in the past, and he could only watch it disappear.

"Your Highness!" General Gyeonggi suddenly burst in at this moment, looking apprehensive and out of breath.

Nie Xingchen looked at the pile of burning ashes, and spit out a word with an expressionless face: "Speak." ”

"Your Highness...... Before sunset, a man and a woman forced their way out of the north gate, saying that there was urgent military business. The woman was carrying the Janissary token and had palace Chinese, and the guards guarding the city did not dare not let go. ”

Nie Xingji stood in the shadow of the candle flame, his face flickered and faded, and it was difficult to distinguish it, and he said after a while: "Everyone has been released, and you still know how to return?" ”

General Gyeonggi lowered his head in fear: "It's all a micro-minister's dereliction of duty, and the identity of the man has already been ascertained...... It is the folk ranger Ji Fengzhi. ”

Ji Fengzhi. Feng Zhi.

It turns out that this is what the criticism means.

Lian Hong is different, and the criticism is not credible. It turned out to be a sarcasm.

Nie Xingji slowly closed his eyes, stood in place for a long time, and suddenly split the table in front of him with one palm, turned around, and left.

General Gyeonggi knelt on the ground and shivered, covered with a layer of paper ashes.

The night of Chinese New Year's Eve is dark, and this Xuanji Palace is like a deep and cold vortex in the night, which seems to be able to involve people in it, fall to pieces, and never surpass life.

*****

An hour ago.

Wei Nong and Ji Fengzhi quickly left Jingzhou City and stayed in the hotel at sunset.

"Are you really going to find Queen Jiang?" Ji Fengzhi confirmed the intention of his beloved disciple for the last time.

Wei Nong nodded firmly. Some time ago, her injuries had not healed, and she couldn't think too much about it. But during this time, she was in good health, and she repeatedly recalled the circumstances of the attack that day, and her doubts grew more and more. She believed that Nie Xingji didn't lie to her, but there were some inside information, and Nie Xingji might not know everything.

I still remember that when she was cultivating in Xuanji Palace, she had met Chu Heng in private once, and Chu Heng clearly stated that he would never hurt her. And Nie Xingji didn't know about this matter, he should have thought that the Chu royal family hated her to the bone, so he thought that the mastermind behind the scenes was Chu Heng, that is, Yunchen.

But if Yunchen is really Chu Heng, it's just a matter of refusing to recognize her, how can he send Zhufeng to kill her again? Since it was not Yunchen's meaning, then he wrote the words "go to Jiang Kingdom", which was implying that he was going to find Queen Jiang......

Could it be Queen Jiang's own initiative to kill under the cloth of 100,000 mountains? But Queen Jiang once instructed Lian Kuo to detoxify her, how could she not know that she was already inviolable? When she was attacked, Zhu Feng clearly wanted those poisonous insects to poison her to death, and she definitely didn't know it.

Moreover, Lian Kuo, as a native of Jiang Guo, has helped her three or four times, why? There are only a few possibilities:

First, Nie Xingji negotiated with Queen Jiang, but due to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, Queen Jiang instructed Lian Kuo to save her; Second, Queen Jiang didn't care about her life and death, it was Nie Xingji who had a very close personal relationship with Lian Yong's disciples, so she asked Lian Kuo to save her; Third, it was Yunchen's intention to save her, and Queen Jiang instructed Lian Kuo to come forward to carry it out......

Either way, it could make her sure that the killer was not sent by Queen Jiang.

Since it wasn't Queen Jiang's intention, nor was it Yunchen's intention, who else could make the bamboo wind move? If it's really a trick to blame, who has to kill her? Who does her presence affect?

Yun Xiao? I shouldn't be that bold.

King Ning? It doesn't have to be so much of a stretch.

Wei Hou? She's never even seen her face!

Nie Xingyi? It is even more impossible for the forces to touch Yunchen's side......

She has too many questions to understand, too many obsessions to unravel, and the more foggy she is, the more she wants to know the secrets.

"If Yunchen's identity is not clear, I can't sleep. And I have been wounded all over my body, and I cannot bear this sin without knowing it. Wei Thick clenched the wine glass in his hand and chuckled: "Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve, don't mention these things." I salute Master, and thank you for saving me thousands of miles. ”

Ji Fengzhi sighed and drank with the slightly thick clinking glasses. He knew best the emotional entanglement between his beloved disciple and Nie Xingji, and couldn't help but ask with a sigh: "If you leave, there will be no turning back...... Really don't regret it? ”

Wei Nong looked at the festive lantern outside the inn door and let out a soft "um".

Ji Fengzhi thought of her changing identity, and slowly shook his head: "Just now, we were deceived out of the city, and the soldiers must be impressed." Once Nie Xingji orders to track down, they will be the first to suspect us...... Aren't you afraid of being caught? ”

"He won't." Wei Nong looked at the wine glass on the table and smiled calmly: "He won't chase after him again." ”

In the face of her resolute deception, his pride as a man, the pride of a king, and the pride of a king, would not allow him to pursue him again.

It's okay that he can stay away from that criticism.

"Men's lives are precious, and purple and micro looks; A woman's life is precious, and the appearance of a mother's ceremony. However, it is destined to restrain each other, and the marriage cannot last long, and the light is separated, and the heavy is dead, and I am afraid that there will be no heirs. ”

"Judging from the horoscope, the initial limit is Your Highness's restriction, and after the middle limit, your Highness receives......"

Pour yourself a cup and drink it all with your head up.

In the first twenty-four years of his life, he fell in love with her, sent her to the palace, recommended her to be married, and killed her husband...... Since she met him, her fate has been bumpy.

And in the past twenty-four years, he has jumped from the concubine of King Yan to the person in power, eradicated Helian Biyue and Ming Xiang's party, suppressed Nie Xingyi, and became the real regent of Yan Kingdom, with unlimited scenery.

Nie Xingji's initial limit is indeed to restrain her everywhere. But what about the future? He happened to be in the middle of the limit this year, should they really have to do the other way around? How would she restrain him? Frustrated him in love? Let him lose the throne? Let him lose the world? Or did he lose his life?

Wei Nong closed her eyes fiercely, and didn't dare to think about it anymore, even if she guessed that Lian Hong might be instructed by someone, but her heart was already knotted, and the proud "unbelieving fate" in the past has now become walking on thin ice.

Still is...... Forget it! Maybe this was originally a mistake, for his good and for himself, they both had different pursuits. And he was willing to risk his life to marry her, and she would always remember it.

But it's just a memory.

She has always had clear grievances, not to mention that this time she is really going through the ghost gate, and her mentality is already different from before. Thinking of some past events, many things have a sense of openness.

Love is too heavy, hate is too hurt. The love and hate that I originally wanted to remember for a lifetime will eventually be eliminated in the long time, turning into an indescribable memory, a sigh that cannot be spoken.

From the moment you saved me, Nie Xingji, we are clear.

Thinking like this, Wei Nong poured himself another glass of wine, and was about to drink it all, but was stopped by Ji Fengzhi: "Your injury is just right, don't be reckless." ”

Weinong shook the wine jug in his hand and said with a smile: "If you want to drink, you can't drink it." He drank it anyway.

The wine was sorrowful, and a burst of warmth rose around the body, which somewhat resisted the cold of the wax moon. Wei Nong played with the wine glass in his hand and asked Ji Fengzhi: "Have you seen Yunchen in Ningguo?" ”

"Yes, but only from afar." Ji Fengzhi replied truthfully: "I'm not sure either, so I'm in a hurry." ”

Slightly silent, he used the few remaining drops of wine to write the word "Fengzhi" on the case, and then smiled and said: "Mr. Lian's disciples are really all equipped with unique skills. ”

Ji Fengzhi didn't know what was going on, and asked confusedly: "What?" ”

"Nothing." Wei Nong wiped off the wine marks on the case, and then smiled: "This New Year, it seems that we are going to pass on the road." ”

"When...... When ......" suddenly heard a bell from nowhere, interrupting the thoughts of the master and apprentice. There was a cheer and yawn in the inn, it was Chinese New Year's Eve and the new year was finally coming.

Wei Nong suddenly found that he was twenty-four years old.
