One hundred and thirty-five, the tempering of the heart
Nalan Zhishui followed behind Bronze, but Alai did not follow. She inquired about Xie Yunxi's whereabouts tonight, and she couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling in her heart. No, they walked to the door of Xie Yunxi's room, and Bronze gently pushed the door open: "Little princess, I won't go in, the little prince is waiting for you in the house." β
Nalan Zhishui nodded to Bronze, and she took a step into the room and immediately closed the door. She stopped at the door, thought for a while and then opened her lips lightly and said, "Yun Xi, why did you call me so late?"
No one in the room responded, Nalan Zhishui raised her eyes to look for Xie Yunxi's figure in the room, Xie Yunxi sat on the stool in front of the couch with his head propped up, his figure projected on the screen, motionless.
When Nalan Zhishui saw his shadow, she was afraid that she thought he was asleep, so she put her mind at ease and said leisurely: "Yun Xi, you care so much about Miss Ye. She's my brother's wife, and you can't beat her. You've ...... There ...... me."
Nalan Zhishui's voice became smaller and quieter as she spoke, and she fell into a kind of contemplation as she spoke. Suddenly, Xie Yunxi coughed, and as soon as he stood up, he fell down. Seeing Xie Yunxi's strange appearance, Nalan Zhishui immediately ran forward. I saw Xie Yunxi lying on the ground, his brows furrowed and panting violently. Nalan Zhishui hurriedly picked up his body and got up anxiously: "What's wrong with you?"
Xie Yunxi leaned on her arms, he seemed to be a little satisfied and smiled, he couldn't breathe, and said a sentence: "You...... It was just ...... Eat me...... The vinegar was ......."
Nalan Zhishui leaned against his lips to hear his words, and her cheeks instantly flushed. She didn't pay attention to him, just looked up at the snack on the table, and her heart became even more nervous, this snack was not made by the people in the palace, it seemed to be brought in from outside. Every time Xie Yunxi eats out, there is a bronze tasting, is it because of the problem of dim sum?
She took a closer look at Xie Yunxi's reaction, and then stroked Xie Yunxi's wrist, he didn't have any symptoms of poisoning. Xie Yunxi's breathing became heavier and heavier, and a faint pink rash gradually developed on his collarbone and neck. Nalan Zhishui looked at his situation, as if he was about to lose his breath.
"I'm going to find my father. Nalan Zhishui has never seen Xie Yunxi look like this, and he is strong and tall, and he is also vulnerable.
Xie Yunxi didn't seem to want her to go, and hugged her tightly: "Don't go...... This ...... of mine Sickness...... Bad cure......"
Seeing his lips, Nalan Zhishui glanced at his hands anxiously, and his hands were full of ink. She called out to Bronze, who was originally outside the door, and she was on call when she called.
As soon as he entered the door, he found Xie Yunxi's condition, and Bronze glanced at the snacks on the table, and his eyes became nervous. Then he immediately brought a copper basin with some water in it. Nalan Zhishui put her hand in and washed her hands roughly, then she put two fingers into Xie Yunxi's mouth, trying to make him spit out what he had eaten.
After a while, the two of them helped Xie Yunxi clean up and carried him to the bed, and he fell asleep, but still holding Nalan Zhishui's hand. His condition was only slightly better.
"There are two boxes of dim sum brought from Qiongyu Pavilion, one box of red bean paste for you and the other box of peanut filling for Nangong girl. The box he was holding happened to be peanut filling. Bronze said as he cleaned up.
"Doesn't he hate peanuts?" Nalan Zhishui had some questions.
"It's not that it's annoying, it's that I can't eat at all. So there is no one in this palace, Nangong Xiao's predecessors said that peanuts are like poison to the prince, even if you eat a little, you will have a reaction, and there is no medicine to treat this symptom. Only those close to you know about it. The little prince is in charge of one party's forces, so he just says he hates it to the outside world. In order to protect his safety, I have to taste it when I eat outside, but no matter how careful I am, there will be mistakes. Bronze walked to the table and picked up the piece of pastry that Xie Yunxi had tasted, this piece was just missing a corner, like a taste.
Nalan Zhishui looked at Bronze's action and said softly: "If he chooses to eat it himself, no matter how careful you are, there is no way." β
Bronze "groaned" in his heart, Xie Yunxi's deliberate behavior was discovered by her. According to Xie Yunxi's habits, this piece of pastry has long been gone, and he won't just eat a small bite at all, Xie Yunxi's heart has long understood that he can't eat this thing. He was tempting, and he and Nalan Zhishui were worried for no reason. Bronze has long been accustomed to Xie Yunxi's boring temptations, but his temptation of Yazhi and Nalan Zhishui, Yazhi can't bear it anymore, and for Nalan Zhishui, she will explode sooner or later.
Nalan Zhishui looked at the bronze stunned in place, it seemed that she was right, Xie Yunxi asked her to come to the house for supper so late, I am afraid that she was also acting for herself. According to his own understanding of him, Xie Yunxi is careful and thoughtful. With bronze to take care of, he would make mistakes basically on purpose, and she felt a little lost in her heart.
"Just now, when he was dueling with Miss Ye, he fell into her mysterious step. He didn't know what he saw in the illusion, maybe it was affected by this, so please don't be angry with the little princess. Bronze was a little resentful in his heart, but he still spoke for Xie Yunxi, and he didn't want them to quarrel. The people of the Nalan family are as careful as silk, and this little trick can be seen through at once.
"It's okay, I'm making him insecure. Nalan Zhishui said, she looked away: "It's a fool to exchange your physical health for a trace of sympathy." β
Bronze was stunned by her words, Nalan Zhishui was completely different from her usual naΓ―ve girl, and she felt very much like Nalan Rongque when she spoke at this time.
"When the little prince and Miss Ye competed, he fell for Miss Ye's trick 'Lost Charm Step', I don't know what he saw in the illusion, maybe because of this, the little princess doesn't have to be responsible. Bronze thought about what had just happened.
"Lost in the Charm Step?" Nalan Zhishui thought for a while: "But it's a dance?"
"Exactly. β
Nalan Zhishui looked up at the bronze and said, "I've heard of it, it comes from the Northwest Flying Immortal Sect. This trick will make the man watching the dance fall into his own mind, and he will die in this illusion unconsciously. You should have learned this trick too, how powerful is it?"
"I ...... I didn't get it. The bronze head said.
Nalan Zhishui frowned slightly, the "Lost Charm Step" is only useful for men, she saw the interpretation of this move in her father's "Zhongzhou Encounter", and even her father, who cultivated the ruthless Dao, would have illusions in the face of the "Lost Trace Magic Step". And why didn't the bronze react?
Nalan Zhishui recalled the first time he saw Bronze, and he was by Xie Yunxi's side from the place where she remembered, wearing a mask and not telling the truth. No matter what ugly things Xie Yunxi said or what dangerous things he wanted to do, it was all handled by Bronze. Her cognition of bronze only knew that his mother was Xie Yunxi's nurse. He and Xie Yunxi are almost inseparable, and they are truly "hidden spirit guards". In Nalan Zhishui's eyes, she found out that the two of them had an extraordinary relationship in this mansion for a few months, although Bronze was a small guard beside Xie Yunxi, in charge of the entire Hidden Spirit Guard, and even all the people in the mansion were respectful to him. Bronze is indeed the most powerful person in the Liang Palace, except for Xie Yunxi.
Nalan Zhishui seemed to understand something about his words, and avoided talking about the bronze matter, so he changed his words: "Do you want to know what Yun Xifang just saw? β
"Little Princess, please speak. Her words made Bronze's eyes widen.
"There is a kind of exercise in my family, called 'Zhuang Zhou Mengdie'. Its power can save people and kill people, and it can also gain insight into people's hearts, and it can also break away from people's hearts, move to the sky, understand the world's affairs, and see all the states in the world. Nalan Zhishui said this, her eyes looked at Xie Yunxi, his eyes were closed, and the shallow red rash on his cheeks seemed to be better than just now.
"I can only support one person with my skills. How about I take you there?" Nalan Zhishui said softly.
Bronze looked at Xie Yunxi's state, and he didn't dare to rest assured. But he was curious in his heart, and only then did Xie Yun know what he saw when he cracked Ye Ruying's trick, but he hesitated for a while.
Nalan Zhishui seemed to see the entanglement in his heart, and said, "Don't worry, there is still me here." And it doesn't take long. β
Bronze heard her confirmation and agreed. I saw Nalan Zhishui take out her bamboo flute from her waist and put it to her lips, sound, bronze lowered her eyes to watch her flute action, and suddenly a golden butterfly came into front of Bronze's eyes, he felt strange and turned around with the butterfly, and suddenly, the surrounding area was white, and only Bronze was left.
Suddenly, a large area of blood was left at his feet, and when he looked up, he saw Xie Yunxi with his back to him, holding the Tornado Remnant Cloud Knife in his hand. Lying in a pool of blood on the ground were the two people Xie Yunxi regarded as the rising sun and the moonlight. Bronze was stunned, he not only saw this scene, but also saw Xie Yunxi's side surrounded by something similar to black smoke.
Xie Yunxi raised the knife and put it across his neck, as if he was going to cut himself, but then Xie Yunxi shook his hand and cut off the black smoke beside him. In an instant, the people on the ground vanished.
Bronze stepped forward, keeping a certain distance no matter how close he tried. He was very puzzled, it was because he always kept his distance from Xie Yunxi, which made it impossible for him to get close to him.
The black smoke didn't seem to want to let go of Xie Yunxi, it slowly turned into a black dragon, and looked at Xie Yunxi condescendingly: "You did a good job." If you can't get it, destroy it. β
Xie Yunxi snorted coldly.
"I just like your ruthlessness. β
"Are you done? I'm going out. Xie Yunxi didn't want to talk to it at all, he just felt that he had fallen for Ye Ruying's trick.
"Even though you say so, you still think so in your heart, as long as you think like this, you can't get out. The black dragon taunted him.
Xie Yunxi frowned lightly, and said impatiently: "...... you have this ability?" Xie Yunxi said halfway, and suddenly a figure crashed into his arms, Xie Yunxi looked down and saw that this person was actually a childhood bronze, he cried and grabbed his clothes and begged: "Please...... Please...... I didn't mean to...... I just want to ......"
Xie Yunxi's face was black, and he didn't give him a chance to finish speaking, he raised his hand and slashed horizontally, cutting the person in front of him into two pieces, and blood splashed on his Xie Yunxi's face.
Suddenly, a young woman who seemed to be nearly thirty years old ran past Xie Yunxi, she picked up the bronze on the ground, and cried, "Little Lord, you ...... How can you do that...... Wu Niang has never been sorry for you, how can you kill my son......"
Xie Yunxi saw this young woman, the hand holding the knife trembled slightly, this person was his nurse and bronze mother. Xie Yunxi didn't say anything, and added another corpse to the ground after the knife fell. Xie Yunxi looked down at them and told himself that all this was fake, and his eyes became a little frightened.
Seeing Xie Yunxi's appearance, the bronze on the side raised his voice and shouted his name, but it was useless. Before Xie Yunxi could react, a slap came to his face, and Xie Yunxi subconsciously fell to the ground. And the Wind Remnant Cloud Knife in his hand was snatched away by this person, he was Xie Yunxi's father Xie Yu.
"If it weren't for you, your mother wouldn't have died!" Xie Yu's stern words blamed him for all the blame.
"You shit, useless shit, disgrace me. Why don't you die! If you die, your mother will survive. Xie Yu pointed at him with the Broken Cloud Knife.
Xie Yunxi's eyes were stunned, and he looked up at his angry father. The disappointment in Xie Yu's eyes made Xie Yunxi feel breathless, and what he was most afraid of was his father's disappointment in him.
"That's right, there is a waste in King Liang's mansion. β
"People of this age can't speak. β
"He can't speak! He can't say anything when he hits him, hahahahaha!"
"It's fun!"
"He's always with the boy who looks like a girl, and he won't be a dragon. β
"Hahaha, he likes men, and he's going to break off. β
"Yes, he hasn't married a wife in the years he was weak, is there something wrong?"
"Poor worm without a mother, his father has no time to take care of him. β
"You see he's a coward, hiding behind the girl!"
"Beat him!
Xie Yunxi sat up, he looked at the ridicule of more and more people around him, he laughed after spitting out a mouthful of blood, and said to the black dragon: "You only have this trick? I have experienced this kind of heart refining hundreds of times in my father-in-law's 'Zhuang Zhou Mengdie', and you think you can embarrass me with just some tongues? Demons and monsters, I am not afraid." β
After that, Xie Yunxi took off the Buddhist beads on his left hand and silently recited the Heart Sutra.
Bronze looked at Xie Yunxi no longer affected by him, and his heart was relieved, at this moment, the golden butterfly rushed towards his eyes, he subconsciously closed his eyes and retreated, and when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to reality.
