Chapter 7: Nightmares

"I really think I'm the master, cut, I'm an aunt who is not favored. ”

"It's not as good as a subordinate, it's a waste!"

"Phew, that's a shame to look at!"

"Madame can speak, no one cares about her, leave her to fend for herself!"

Since marrying into King Ning's Mansion, such words have become more and more intense, and now they have to be staged almost every day. The servants looked at each other coldly, and Yan Zhuo had long been accustomed to it. No, one could even say, long since it was numb.

"Second aunt, Madame Shi'en, go back. ”

Cui'er, the maid beside Yan Yun'er, walked to Yan Zhuo, who was kneeling in the courtyard, and said condescendingly.

Yan Zhuo didn't say a word, the dry skin on her mouth made her even more embarrassed, and her lips were bruised, half frozen, half bitten by her.

Staggered back to the yard, ate the overmeal, and was about to fall asleep, when he suddenly heard outside the door

Click, click......

It's the sound of feet stepping on dead leaves.

Click, click......

There are people out there, and they're coming here.

Yan Zhuo curled up on the bed, not daring to move, lest he make a little noise. I could only gently pick up a piece of wooden stick placed in the bed and clench it tightly.

When the footsteps reached the door, they stopped.

Yan Zhuo was even more nervous, could it be that he was observing whether there was anyone in the room?

Someone pushed the door, and the door was in disrepair, making a terrible noise.

But apparently, the basic function of the door is still well preserved. Because Yan Zhuo had inserted a wooden bolt inside, the door had not been pushed open for the time being.

Yan Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

The people who came were silent again.

Quiet.

Dead silence.

Not far away, the sound of the maid splashing water can be heard clearly.

It seemed that in the quiet, dark night, outside Yan Zhuo's door, there was a fierce beast, or a bad guy whose sword was about to be unsheathed, this feeling made Yan Zhuo even more nervous, Yan Zhuo's heart was pounding wildly, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

Escape, how do you escape? Yan Zhuo looked around and saw that there was no place for hiding people in the empty house.

"Zhuo'er, open the door. ”

Suddenly, Yan Zhuo was taken aback.

Trembling, Yan Zhuo pursed his lips and spoke:

"Who?"

"Can't you hear my voice, Zhuo'er?"

The deep and beautiful male voice sounded again, and this time Yan Zhuo heard it clearly, it was Ning Yuan, it was her beloved, her husband Ning Yuan......

Yan Zhuo's tears were about to fall.

It turned out that it was not a terrible beast standing outside the door, but a gift for himself.

God knows how long it's been since I've seen him.

A year ago, my mother died, and the second aunt became the hostess of the house. , the concubine left by the former Duchess of Zhenguo, has become the most embarrassing existence in the house.

Living in the grief of losing her mother, she was depressed and unhappy, and locked herself in her room all day, ignoring the world.

Since then, she hadn't seen Ning Yuan again.

Until one day, the house received a holy decree and called her to go to the front hall to receive the decree.

Thinking that it might be a marriage with Brother Yuan, her steps also became brisk and hurried, and a trace of sweetness and happiness welled up in her bitter heart.

Brother Yuan really still likes himself.

In the front hall, the father-in-law who recited the holy decree spoke in a joyless and carefree tone, but he heard that she was like being hit hard!

The holy decree said that Yan Yun'er, the daughter of the Yan family, was beautiful in appearance, virtuous and kind, and was really a good couple, and she was specially given to marry King Ning as a concubine;

She froze on the ground until everyone in the house had finished receiving the order.

"Sister, are you so happy?" a voice woke her up from her shock, and Yan Yun'er's contemptuous and cheerful eyes made her feel like she had been pricked by a needle.

"Daddy. When she looked at her father with a pleading gaze, Yan Zheng, the head of the Zhenguo Mansion, her father, who had always loved her, said:

"Needless to say. If you can get married, it's also a good place to go. ”

Everything was arranged, and she seemed to be deprived of her feelings and fiddled with at will.

Soon, the wedding day came, and this day became the beginning of Yan Yan's suffering.

Ning Yuan had never been to her.

Waiting day after day made her feel that Ning Yuan didn't care about her.

The servants of the house began to laugh at her in whispers.

As for Yun'er, she also began to keep looking for all kinds of trouble to humiliate her.

The scales of fate seem to have tilted, and she has become a complete loser.

One pain after another.

Half a year ago, the Zhenguo Mansion was raided on charges of treason and collaboration with the enemy.

She couldn't believe it, and went to find Ning Yuan in every possible way, but was told that Ning Yuan had gone out. The results are irreversible.

Because she became a foreign daughter, although she was pardoned for capital crimes, she couldn't escape punishment after all, and was arranged in a small side room on the westernmost side.

As for the daughter of the Yan family, why Yan Yun'er can be alone, no one told her. And because of the grief of bereavement, she is not in the mood to pursue it.

Later, Ning Yuan finally came again.

Drunk and drunk, but gentle and careful, comforting her, accompanying her to talk about the past, and talking about interesting things that happened at home.

That night, they were like ordinary husband and wife, physically and mentally blended, hugging each other and sleeping.

I was going to question him, but I couldn't say it anymore. She believed that Ning Yuan didn't come to see her, because he had his own hardships, not because the former sea oath and mountain alliance were vivid.

Under the peach blossom tree, he said to her so gently, he loved her, cared about her, and wanted to be with her.

And she, the daughter of a criminal minister, should also be considerate of him.

After that, he disappeared again without a trace. Listening to the maid's small talk, he said that he was entrusted by the emperor to go out and run.

Did he just come back today?

Did he come to comfort himself when he heard that he was being punished for kneeling?

Does this mean that he has himself in his heart?

Yan Zhuo hurriedly moved out of bed and opened the door with excitement.

"Why are you here?" whispered to him.

"I heard that you were punished for kneeling today, so I came to see you. ”

Yan Zhuo's eyes immediately turned red, it's so good, there is still someone who cares about himself.

Seeing that there was no place to sit in the room, Ning Yuan had no choice but to go to Yan Zhuo's bed and sit down.

"I heard that the prince went out, don't you know if this trip went well?" Yan Zhuo asked with concern.

Seeing that Yan Zhuo took the initiative to talk about this, Ning Yuan's brows relaxed:

"The trip didn't go well, and I was stabbed several times on the way. Ning Yuan glanced at Yan Zhuo's expression.

"Ah, is the prince injured?"

Before Ning Yuan could answer, Yan Zhuo hurriedly opened the mattress, only to see a cyan purse under the mattress. Yan Zhuo picked up and opened the purse, revealing a piece of cyan jade inside, and the texture looked quite delicate. Yan Zhuo reached in with his hand and took out a talisman.

"You take this, it contains the talisman that the master of Guoan Temple has opened, and it is very effective. ”

"Zhuo'er, what is the jade in your purse?"

"It was given to me by my mother, so I want to keep it safe. ”

"Then did you know what it was for?"

"This mother didn't tell me. ”

"Zhuo'er, can you show me it?"
