Chapter 42: The Night Is Dark (4)
One sentence made Nie Xingchen furious, but he had to restrain his anger: "The royal marriage is too complicated, and interests are the first priority." I ...... with her It's not what you think. ”
"Whether it's or not, you're really disappointed when I met you." Wei Nong turned his eyes to look away, and sneered: "Moreover, you can be regarded as admitting that you have a plan, but I don't know if you have taken a fancy to the 'queen's life'?" ”
She always knew how to him off! Nie Xingji stared at Wei Zhen, it was hard to imagine when the delicate woman in his heart had become so sharp and toothy, and would only sneer at him, making him angry and embarrassed.
"This is not the place to talk, you come with me." He grabbed her arm and forced her to go to the tomb.
Wei Nong tried to struggle twice, and when he saw that he had no intention of letting go, she went with him. The two entered the stone chamber together, but the mausoleum keeper only gave Nie Xingji an oil lamp, then retracted his head and hid back in the house.
It can be seen that this is not the first time that Nie Xingji has come in.
This thought crossed Wei Nong's mind, but he didn't know what Nie Xingji's intention was. He knew that there was an empty coffin in the tomb, so why did he bring her here?
Before long, Nie Xingji gave her an answer-
But in the main hall of the stone chamber of the tomb, there is a green sandalwood coffin belonging to the princess of Qingcheng. And next to the coffin, there is another sarcophagus, which is smaller than the green sandalwood one, and it is a funeral sarcophagus at a glance, but it is not a person who is buried inside, but some gold and silver utensils.
The scent of sandalwood lingered in the room, and he looked at Nie Xingji with a slight puzzlement: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Nie Xingji didn't answer, hung the oil lamp on the stone wall behind the green sandalwood coffin, pushed away the funeral sarcophagus, and bent down to take out a brocade box from it. This brocade box is very familiar, it is the box containing the Emei thorn!
"You moved my offering in front of Sanqing!" The slightly bright eyes glared angrily, mixed with surprise and indignation.
"I've been wondering when you'll find out when this pair of Emei thorns are missing. I waited for you here for three nights, thinking that you would go to the main hall of Xuanji Palace first......" Nie Xingji smiled self-deprecatingly: "I didn't expect you to come directly." ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Wei Nong looked at the guards who came at the door of the stone room, and gradually became impatient.
Nie Xingji stared at her and replied in a deep voice, "If you really hate me, use it to kill me." You don't have to torture yourself to marry the crown prince. ”
As he spoke, he opened the brocade box in his hand, letting the red and green glow of the Emei thorn rise. The firm gaze with an almost stubborn madness, staring at Wei Nong's face, forced her to make a choice: "You didn't succeed in the post house at the beginning...... If that's what you want, we can fulfill each other today. ”
He looked at him in surprise. The eyes of the two were glued together, and they both saw their strange selves in each other's eyes. Cold and fragile, it can't bear the gloom of this room.
Wei Nong avoided his gaze and looked down at the Emei thorn in his hand. A kind of despair that could not be recovered suddenly spread to the depths of her heart, and finally to her whole body.
In October last year, I still heard the sound of my wish, hoping to get rid of the ugliness of human nature and the shackles of the world. However, it was he Nie Xingji who moved her worship before Sanqing and destroyed her pious vow.
It stands to reason that she should have killed him and then quickly! Her life in the past 20 years has changed so much because of him! It's been too bumpy!
But could she kill him? Does she dare? Can you? Is there still a murderous intent at the inn last year? She didn't even have the courage to pick up the Emei thorn anymore!
Perhaps, this is the most difficult fact for her to face, and it is the reason why she can't forgive herself - she can't do anything to Nie Xingji.
Also, she had promised King Yan to keep him alive.
The hands hidden in the sleeves were trembling slightly, killing or banishing, she could not choose, and it was even more difficult for her to forgive......
Nie Xingji could see her struggle and hesitation. That's exactly what he wanted to see. Leaving him to die and come back to life, he felt that he had made the right bet: "Weinong, your hands are shaking......"
Weimin bit his lips and couldn't refute them out loud.
"You haven't forgotten me, so you can't do it?" He asked step by step.
"What did you say?!" She woke up suddenly, embarrassed, and even more angry.
