Nie Xingji's arms stiffened and he didn't answer. He hugged Wei Nong in his arms, as if he was holding the most precious treasure, and his love was more than his life: "Wei Nong, I'm sorry." ”

"What?" Slightly thick didn't seem to react.

"I didn't come to lunch with you that day......" he paused for a moment, a little incoherent, "I'm drunk, really...... If I say I'm being calculated, will you believe it? ”

"Oh." Wei Nong only replied with this one word.

"I heard Xiaoxin say that Danshu has already punished her heavily." Nie Xingji rubbed her long hair with his palm: "I woke up that afternoon, I really ...... I'm remorseful, I'm afraid you know. But I couldn't deal with her, she helped me. When I was being watched by Nie Xingyi, she pretended to be a red apricot out of the wall, and I took advantage of the situation to drive her out, risking her life to deliver the news for me......"

"You're not wrong." Wei Nong closed his eyes and interrupted him: "Perhaps, you are going to be a father, you should go and accompany them." ”

"No," Nie Xingji hurriedly explained, "I gave the medicine......"

"I'm tired." Wei Nong lay in his arms and didn't move, sniffing his unique breath for the last time: "When this illness is cured, I want to leave as soon as possible." ”

Nie Xingchen hugged her tightly, reluctant to open his mouth to promise.

Tears were already overflowing from the corners of her slightly thick eyes, but she knew that Nie Xingji couldn't detect it: "You can also see it, my body is getting worse and worse...... I fell ill at the slightest blow of the wind, and I couldn't breathe when I spoke...... I don't want to die here. ”

“…… Good! As if making a difficult decision, he said slowly, "I'll arrange it as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm." Her eyes were still closed: "I want to sleep a little longer." ”

Nie Xingji had no choice but to let go of his embrace and lay her flat on the couch. Wei felt his fingers linger in the corners of her eyes, hanging a few tears from her.

"You're crying." He said.

"No, it's Khan." She turned over and turned her back to him: "Don't come to Weiyang Palace again in the future." ”

*****

Wei Nong's illness this time is not as good as the last time, menacing, recurring, intermittently dragging on for more than ten days, and there has been no sign of healing, and it will burn up from time to time.

This frightened the people of Weiyang Palace, especially Xiaoxin, who had to cry a few tears every once in a while.

Nie Xingji kept the agreement and didn't come to see her again. Several times he had already walked to the door of Weiyang Palace, and he also stopped, just beckoning Xiaoxin to come out and ask about the situation.

Only occasionally awake at night, I can feel a faint breathing sound in her ears, like regret, like a sigh. Whenever this happens, she will not open her eyes, but will choose to continue to pretend to be asleep.

Time is like a thief, stealing the sun, and it is already late March when Weinong can get out of bed. The smell of medicine in Weiyang Palace was like a lingering haze, adding a flaw to the spring weather, making her feel more and more that she was out of place here.

The following days began to be dull and quiet, Nie Xingji never appeared again, and Ming Danshu did not set off any more turmoil. Wei Nong heard Xiaoxin say that Ming Danshu was unwell these days, and she hardly took a step out of the palace, and she didn't care much about the affairs of the harem, and even the phoenix seal was temporarily handed over to Wei Lianpian.

When Wei Nong heard this, he only smiled.

At the end of March, Wei Lianpian officially naturalized the Ming family, and Wei Nong pretended to be her personal palace maid to go to the Ming clan ancestral hall to watch the ceremony. Not surprisingly, she ran into Ming Chenyuan. Ming Danshu did not show up because she was unwell.

During the naturalization ceremony, Mingchen looked at Wei Nong from a distance several times, obviously wanting to say something to her, but Wei Nong didn't give him a chance, and hurried back to Yanwang Palace after watching the ceremony.

Time is like a magnificent river, day and night turbulent, washing away everything in the past, without mercy. Wei Nong felt like a stone at the bottom of the river, being impacted, destroying his body and mind, broken and unable to help himself.

Finally, it was time to leave. On the third day of the fourth month, Nie Xingji set foot in Weiyang Palace again.

He slowly approached from the palace gate, and the purple robe reflected the sunlight behind him, exuding the aura of purple gold, which made him stand tall and outstanding, like a god. It's a pity that no matter how high he is in his hands about life and death, he has people who can't keep him, and he can't ask for it.

Nie Xing's traces were reduced - this was the first impression of Wei Qiang. And his starry eyes are also scarlet, exuding a heavy tiredness, and a faint coldness.

Wei Nong only didn't realize it, quietly lowered his head, waiting for his last goodbye.

As she stood, he drew closer, stopping three paces away from her, and staring at each other speechlessly. The sunlight spread in from outside the hall, outlining a bright light and shadow, which happened to fall on the floor tiles between the two, like building a deep ravine, which no one could cross.

Originally, they were all full of parting words, but at this moment, they didn't know what to say to each other.

Nie Xingchen had to ask her first, "Have you packed your bags?" ”

He let out a slight "um" and nodded slightly. She wanted to pack her bags carefully, but last night she realized that nothing belonged to her, and she couldn't take anything with her.

"Xiaoxin will take care of you." Nie Xingji said again in a low voice.

When Wei Nong heard this, he subconsciously refused: "No need, Xiaoxin deserves a better future, there is no need to waste energy for me." ”

"What's a better future?" Nie Xingji smiled reluctantly: "Taking care of you is her best future." Do you want to go on the road alone? I'm not at ease. ”

Wei Min frowned: "But ......"

"No, but," he cut off her words, "you are going to cure and detoxify, you need someone to serve the decoction when you are lying on the couch, Xiaoxin is not here, what are you going to do?" ”

Wei Nong was dumbfounded by Nie Xingji's question. Perhaps it was because he hadn't shown such a tough attitude for a long time, and she almost forgot his true nature. And his words were a good reminder to her, and also let her know that what he decided was not to be ignored.

"When I recover, I will let Xiaoxin come back." She had to take a step back.

Nie Xingji's expression was a little dazed, as if he didn't notice what she said, and continued to himself: "Lian Kuo has arrived outside the palace gate, Zhong Ze...... I'm saying that the dust is far away, and he will send you out of the city......"

He couldn't help but approach her, raised his hand to pick up a piece of broken hair on her shoulder, and said in an astringent tone: "I'm entangled in political affairs, so I won't give it away...... Take care of yourself. ”

These last five words finally forced out a slight burst of tears. She knows that this farewell will be indefinite! From now on, the love and hate, pain and hurt, all the good and evil past, in the past, can never go back!

After all, she and him still came to this point, and the end of the world was separated from each other.

There are many emotions accumulated in the chest, and I want to tell it, but it is difficult to tell it. The burning of her eyes and the choking of her throat were like a hidden door, blocking all her intense sadness, and she was powerless to push it open.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" He spoke again, with a certain prayer in his voice.

Wei Nong smiled when she heard this, and then said slowly: "I know that you will definitely go well, the heirs will continue, you will be diligent in government and love the people, and your name will go down in history......" She said incoherently, and finally she couldn't even say it anymore, so she could only send two words briefly and sincerely: "Take care." ”

Nie Xingji's eyes were indescribable feelings, as if they contained a thousand words, and the past flashed through his heart, he slowly held her hand, but he couldn't say a word anymore.

His hands were wide and warm, hers was delicate and cold, and the two extreme touches, as if foreshadowing this wordless ending, could only go against each other.

Wei Min slowly pulled out his soft wattle, letting the cold tears drip on the back of his hand. After a moment, he suddenly burst into tears and laughed: "We are really hypocritical, and we are not separated from yin and yang from now on, how can we make it look like crying and mourning." ”

She wiped away the tears with her fingertips and forced herself to look out the window: "It's not early...... Don't let Lian Kuo wait. ”

Nie Xingji's eyes changed, his hands gradually fell behind his back, and he clenched into fists: "Go!" ”

These two words, Weinong has been waiting for too long, but when it is really realized, it is not as light as imagined. But she still pursed her lips and smiled, saluted the man opposite, turned slowly under his gaze, and walked away from him step by step.

Just as he was about to step out of the threshold, he finally called her: "Slightly thick......"

She froze and didn't dare to turn back.

"If you're tired, come back. I'll set you a garden in Jingzhou, I can not disturb you, I can not even look at you......" His red eyes were indescribably wounded, and he looked at her quietly, like despair, and like longing: "As long as you are willing to come back...... We can never talk to each other again. ”

Don't you get along again? Wei Nong was silent for a moment, and reason finally prevailed: "No, it will be your weakness if I stay, you can't rest assured, and I am also uncomfortable." Besides, I want to look around. ”

"The bird is tired of flying and knows how to return. You can't even leave your home behind. "He tried to keep it.

"You won't understand."

You won't understand that there are principles that cannot be violated; You will not understand that some feelings cannot be betrayed; You don't want to know that some mistakes can never be forgiven.

There is one person or thing that is more important than everything!

Wrong is wrong, and when everything is irreparable, we can only move forward separately and accept God's punishment.

"I'm not used to making a fool of myself." Slightly sobbing with a sober smile, cutting off all back roads.

Nie Xingji seemed to have expected this answer, and didn't do any more entanglement, but nodded weakly: "Xiaoxin." He didn't give Wei Nong a chance to refuse, and instead called in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Highness." Xiaoxin's figure appeared outside the hall gate in response, and she understood Nie Xingji's unspoken advice. She watched as Wei Nong slowly walked towards the door, and only whispered, "You watch out for the threshold." ”

Wei Nong smiled at her and said nothing more.

The master and servant walked down the jade steps in front of the hall one after another, and turned around slightly to look at the hanging door plaque: Weiyang Palace.

The story in this palace is not young, but about her and Nie Xingji, it has all ended so far.

Love each other, hurt each other, misunderstand each other, fulfill each other - there is nothing more in the world than this! She and him have tasted it once!

The spring breeze blew a slightly thick coat, and she suddenly came back to her senses and looked around. The white clouds in the distance, the vast sky, and the flow of daylight in the sky are magical, paving a journey to the unknown.

The past is now dusty.
