Chapter 44: Let's Go on an Adventure
After reuniting with Xiaobao, Xiaobao became very talkative, as if she was afraid that the eldest sister would not know when she would disappear, so she pestered her, and when she didn't want to turn around, the eldest sister didn't know where she went.
Autumn frost and spring breeze prepared a lot of favorite delicacies for the sister and brother, the two chatted while eating, and unconsciously the night fell on the earth, and the moon sprinkled the afterglow, warming the pedestrians' way home.
Standing outside the door, what Nangong Jingchen saw was Xiaobao leaning on Baili Lan's shoulder, and Bai Lilan was wrapping Xiao Bao with one hand and gently coaxing him. The moonlight sprinkled on Baili Lan's body, softly reflecting a halo of light, warm and refreshing, people can't help but be intoxicated, no matter how attractive and rich the outside world is, but also willing to stop here, let the soul get a moment of redemption.
Nangong Jingchen slowed down, not daring to disturb such a beautiful picture, at this moment, he was even envious of Xiaobao, envious that he could be so gently cared for by Baili Lan, if Bai Li Lan could look at himself with such eyes in this life, then death would be content.
Just when Nangong Jingchen was immersed in reverie and couldn't extricate himself, Baili Lan suddenly turned his head and looked at Nangong Jingchen fiercely. And the gaze that belonged to Baili Lan made Nangong Jingchen wake up from his dream in an instant, and at the same time found that he had walked into the room unconsciously, but the whole person was like a silly boy who was bewitched by a beautiful girl, dumbfounded and stunned. Such a discovery made Nangong Jingchen smile a little embarrassedly, thinking that he had just faced those half-hearted ministers in the court, and he could talk to them without changing his face, why did he become a stupid boy who was not good at words when facing Baililan?
Finding that Nangong Jingchen was smiling weirdly, Baili Lan instantly became wary of him, frowned and asked, "You came here, is there something wrong?" ”
"Well, it's getting late, so if it's inconvenient, let's stay in the palace." Nangong Jingchen tried to make himself normal, and said lightly.
Thinking that Xiaobao was adrift with herself, and it was very likely that she would not have the opportunity to sleep in such a comfortable place, Bai Lilan nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll stay here tonight, and I'll pack up my things and leave tomorrow." ”
Nangong Jingchen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly blurted out: "Leave? Where are you going? ”
After picking up Xiaobao and handing it to Qiushuang behind him, Baili Lan moved his arm and said: "Xiaobao said that he has never ridden a camel, and he also yearns for that kind of life of 'lonely smoke outside the plug', so I decided to take him to see the scenery of the desert." Moving around a lot is good for your child's development. ”
"Then you don't have to go that far!" As he spoke, Nangong Jingchen found that his tone was a little high, so he lowered his head and coughed lightly, and then explained in disguise, "I mean, if Xiaobao likes camels, then I can buy a few for him to play with." It's too unsafe for you to take Xiaobao to such a far place alone, and you're still fighting, once it's dangerous, the consequences are unimaginable! Lan'er is obedient, don't act recklessly in this matter! ”
However, Nangong Jingchen's earnest words did not convince Bai Lilan, and wiped the juice marks left on his arm with a handkerchief, Bai Lilan smiled and said, "Nangong Jingchen, do you have to let me speak so clearly?" Well, I'll tell you the truth, the answer is I don't want to see you! Because I don't know what identity to use to face you. Husband? Emperor? Or an enemy! ”
"I see, that's what you mind." Nangong Jingchen's shoulders moved, and then said, "If you want to know the answer, even if you come to ask me, you won't run away!" Lan'er, if you want to know the truth, I can tell you! Is it more true to hear from other people's mouths? I won't lie to you! ”
Hearing Nangong Jingchen's relief, Bai Lilan tilted her head slightly, and said in a provocative tone: "Okay, you can tell me how I fell off the cliff, how I lost my memory, and how I lost a child!" ”
When he heard the word "child", Nangong Jingchen was in a trance in front of him, as if he was confused by something, and he couldn't argue the direction in front of him.
Taking a deep breath, Nangong Jingchen reluctantly looked into Baili Lan's eyes and said, "Okay, I'll tell you all now!" On that day, you left with hatred because I was going to marry Sima Luobei. And that Sima Luobei is not a good person, he has been thinking about how to calculate you in his heart, and then replace him. I have always known her and her father's thoughts, but at that time I had to rely on their forces to compete with Bac Ninh, otherwise years of hard work would be in vain, and you and I would become prisoners, waiting for death. I know your temperament, and you can't tolerate a grain of sand in your eyes, so I don't want to tell you that I want to let you enjoy the result of victory after everything is settled. But you are very clever, no matter how much I conceal it, you still know about my marriage to Sima Luobei, but you are not distressed, or kill me and Sima Luobei, but uncharacteristically actively prepare. I knew from the state of your state that you must have something in mind, so I had you closely watched, lest you do something stupid, or hurt yourself, or be detrimental to my plans. Oh, I didn't expect it, Baili Lan is Bai Li Lan, and I didn't even have a chance to explain, so I directly asked me to choose one of you and Sima Luobei to rescue me. You gave me a problem. Lan'er, do you think my legs have returned to normal and can move freely? In fact, my leg was still in pain, and I was barely able to walk every step. So when I was performing light skills, even if I flew towards you with all my might, I still didn't have time to grab your sinking body. As for Sima Luobei's rescue, it was because General Sima was worried that his beloved daughter would be injured, so he sent a martial arts master to protect her secretly, and after the incident happened, he flew up to rescue her. As for me, I couldn't fall with you because He Che grabbed my belt and dragged it back with great effort. Lan'er, do you know what it's like to watch your loved one disappear in front of you? That's worse than dead! I can't wait to go with you at once, even if I die on the cliff! Speaking of this past, Nangong Jingchen closed his eyes in pain, as if the scene that happened that day was right in front of him.
Seeing Nangong Jingchen slightly arched his waist because of the pain, Bai Lilan couldn't tell what kind of emotions were in his heart. If I really chose to jump off the cliff to understand everything that day, then my heart must have been full of hatred at that time. Hates Nangong Jingchen, and hates the world. That heart-wrenching feeling, even if she forgets the past now, her heart will still throb and throb. Reaching out to cover her chest, Bai Lilan turned her head, no longer looked at Nangong Jingchen, and said in a calm voice: "I still want to ask you a question, what's the matter with the child?" Why did the old man who rescued me say that I fell off the cliff with my child? ”
Nangong Jingchen looked at Baili Lan with a pale face, and said in a weak tone: "I don't know, I really don't know...... You never said you were pregnant, and no one around you ever mentioned it. Lan'er, if I knew that you had a child in your arms, no matter what, I would never marry Sima Luobei again......"
Raising his hand and waving, Baili Lan interrupted Nangong Jingchen and said, "Needless to say, if you don't have it, you won't have it, in that kind of environment, it is not suitable for having children." And with children, many things are inconvenient to do, like setting off for the desert tomorrow. ”
After listening to Baili Lan's words, Nangong Jingchen hurriedly looked up at her and said anxiously: "Lan'er, I have already told you everything about the matter, why do you still want to leave?" ”
"Because, my heart has no way to forgive you!" Bai Lilan looked at Nangong Jingchen, smiled lightly, and then said, "No matter what you say, what happened has already happened, and it is not just your explanation that can be regarded as nothing that has happened." I also know that you have your own difficulties in doing this, and you have to do it as a last resort. But I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to forgive you right now! After Bai Lilan said this, she got up and walked to the door, looked into the distance, and said, "It's getting late, I have to get up early tomorrow, I guess you have been taking care of everything recently, so let's rest!" ”
Looking at Baili Lan's decisive side, Nangong Jingchen's heart was cold, he didn't want to watch his beloved woman leave, and he didn't want to force her to do what she didn't like, the dilemma was struggling in his heart, which made Nangong Jingchen have a headache.
Walking out slowly, Baili Lan looked at Nangong Jingchen's figure, and for some reason, it seemed to be much heavier. Lowering her head slightly, Baili Lan didn't want to explore too deeply, if everything could be flattened with the passage of time, then it would be a relief for both parties.
On the second day, Baili Lan left the palace with Xiaobao, silently, without alarming anyone. But Rao is like this, and someone still notified Nangong Jingchen of the news as soon as possible.
Looking out the window, Nangong Jingchen was silent for a long time, and he didn't give an order, whether to continue the pursuit or let it go, but his hands became tighter and tighter, and his expression was solemn, so that people couldn't see his emotions.
Nangong Jingchen was not in a hurry, but he was so anxious that He Che scratched his ears and cheeks, and said beside him: "Master, do you really want to watch the princess leave?" Wouldn't you regret that it took so much effort for you to find the princess and let her go like this? Besides, the princess has amnesia now, what if she is used by someone with ulterior motives? Oh master, you have something to say! ”
Slowly retracting his gaze, Nangong Jingchen looked at the ring in his palm, which was originally a pair with Baili Lan, and his gaze gradually became deeper.
"Let her go," Nangong Jingchen said in a low voice, "There are four maids and Xiaobao here, and I believe that I won't be able to suffer." Let's let her go outside and relax. When she returns to the palace, the burden on her shoulders will be much heavier. ”
Seeing that the master said this, He Che couldn't refute anything, so he had to keep lamenting in his heart, obviously the two of them were a match made in heaven, but they were always tormenting each other, and they couldn't do without each other, what a pair of enemies!
