The sound of shredded footsteps was heard especially clearly in the silent night, and someone approached.

Tang Zixi looked left and right, and his figure flashed and hid behind a pillar, until the maid with the copper basin walked by before he walked out again. Smelling the faint smell of blood wafting through the air, it is not difficult to surmise that someone was injured.

At the end of the corridor is Tang Mingru's quiet room. At this moment, the door of the ashram was hidden, and a glimmer of light came out of it. Needless to say, the injured man must have been inside.

In order not to make a sound, Tang Zixi gently took off the shoes on his feet, and walked over slowly.

About three or four feet away from the door, there was a muffled cough.

Tang Zixi immediately stopped when he heard the sound and flexibly hid behind the pillar next to him. As soon as she hid herself, a dull and suppressed cough sounded without warning, and it took a few breaths to stop, and the wheezing sound was short and heavy, sounding extremely painful.

She bit her lip tightly, unable to tell what was feeling in her heart. This coughing sound was too familiar to her, and it was like this every time Mrs. Tang had a heart attack before. She couldn't imagine how hard the hand holding the handkerchief had to be to make such a dull and suppressed coughing sound. In the past, when she was young, all she thought about every day was how to play, and she didn't know how to observe these details, so she never paid attention to what kind of pain her mother was suffering. But now this rapid cough pulled her memories to every time she witnessed it in the past. Her heart began to slowly contract, as if someone was pinching her heart.

The strong guilt and longing made her lose the courage to walk in.

In the room.

Mrs. Tang, whose face was crimson, was sitting upright on a Taishi chair, looking at the masked woman opposite with a complicated expression, and said, "Senior sister, you have shed a lot of blood, why don't you bandage it?"

The masked woman's eyebrows and eyes are majestic, and her momentum is compelling, it is Luo Ning, the master of the Peerless Pavilion. At this moment, the palace clothes on her body were torn in many places, revealing the white shirt inside, and the strong smell of blood kept wafting from her.

A maid with a tray full of bottles and cans stood beside her at a loss, looking at the bright sword on the table, not knowing whether she should step forward or not.

Luo Ning said impatiently: "I can't die, don't bother my sister." After speaking, he took out a fragrant pill from his bosom and stuffed it into his mouth, and began to close his eyes and breathe.

When Mrs. Tang saw the pill, her face showed a sudden look, and she said, "It turns out that Brother Lin has refined the Chaolu Xi Ying Pill, but it is the junior sister Banmen who has made an axe." After speaking, Chong Ya nodded slightly. The maid immediately withdrew with a sigh of relief.

It didn't take long for Luo Ning to take his work, open his eyes and say, "Why do you say these sour words, junior sister, has he refined less pills for you over the years?"

Mrs. Tang smiled slightly, and did not dwell on this topic, but changed the conversation and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, but my senior sister's demeanor is still the same." I can't do it anymore, I'm too old to be recognized. ”

Luo Ning snorted lightly and sneered: "Everyone grew up together, don't come to this with me." I don't know what you're thinking? What I hate most is you, who is so proud in my heart, but on the surface I want to pretend to be sad and sad. Is it that hard to say it bluntly?"

"Senior sister, you misunderstood me. Mrs. Tang sighed, infinite sorrow appeared on her face, and said, "I really feel that I am old. After speaking, he covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and casually threw the bloodstained silk handkerchief aside.

Seeing this, Luo Ning snorted coldly, and didn't say anything more hurtful.

Mrs. Tang gasped slightly: "Although I did have such a happy time with Brother Lin back then. But after so many years, I have already become someone else's wife, and even the news of Brother Lin is occasionally learned from others. Senior sister, you are different, the person who has been by his side all these years is you. Speaking of which, I lost in the end. ”

Luo Ning's eyes flashed, obviously the other party's words went to her heart.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tang smiled slightly, and continued: "What's more, in the trial inside the door, if it weren't for the senior sister who rescued me many times, I would have already become a revenant in the valley, how could I be today." The kindness of the senior sister, Xue Rou has always remembered in her heart. ”

Luo Ning glanced at her and said slowly: "Senior sister has a heart, it's just a gesture." Although her tone was still very stiff, the murderous aura she had before was gone.

"But it's a great kindness to me. Mrs. Tang shook her head and said solemnly: "Without Senior Sister, there would be no Xue Rou today." Speaking of this, he looked directly into the other party's eyes, and said word by word, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked being punished by the Nine Clans and left the prince's bloodline by my side." ”

"What did you say?" Luo Ninghuo stood up, he could be described as surprised and delighted, and even his voice trembled a little, "You really took in the blood of the prince? ”

When Mrs. Tang heard this, she immediately understood, and knew that she had made the right bet, and said, "Although Xue Rou is just a woman, she also knows who is orthodox. If it weren't for my husband who mistakenly believed the villain's slander, how could he give Li Xiao a chance...... If I hadn't relented for a while and let Li Xiao go, how could there have been a catastrophe later...... In short, it's all my fault, if my sister wants to blame, blame me, everything has nothing to do with my husband. ”

Hearing the other party mention the old things, a trace of pain appeared in Luo Ning's eyes, and he said for a long time: "Forget it, things have passed for so many years, and I have long forgotten many things." The crown prince has no chance to be on the throne, so it can only be said that he is blessed. You can take such a big risk to save the prince's bloodline, which is enough to make up for it. ”

A happy look appeared on Mrs. Tang's face, and she said, "Xue Rou is grateful for the kindness of the senior sister on behalf of the Tang family!" After speaking, she solemnly bowed.

Luo Ning's eyes flashed, and he said, "I only promised not to kill you, but I didn't promise not to kill Tang Mingru!" The murderous aura on his body faintly appeared again, and the momentum of not entering the living before, returned to his body.

"Senior sister!" Mrs. Tang was anxious, and was about to say a few more words, but was interrupted impatiently by Luo Ning, "If you want to be verbose again, I will kill those few evil coefficients!"

“......”

Mrs. Tang was stunned, and sure enough, she took a few steps back and sat back on the chair, two lines of crystal tears slowly slid down her face.

Tang Zixi, who was eavesdropping on the eavesdropping, was already so angry that his face turned pale, and he couldn't help it several times when he wanted to rush in. First, she asked herself if she was no match for others, and second, she also wanted to find out what was going on.

She knew that the crown prince in the mouth of the two was the former prince Li Kuan, the unlucky prince who was poisoned to death by the second prince and the fourth prince back then. It is said that the crown prince Li Kuan was extremely loved by the first emperor, and he was wise and wise, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty said that the prince would be a Ming monarch in the future. It's a pity that the second prince and the fourth prince suddenly rebelled and ended up losing both, otherwise it would not be Li Xiao's turn to be the emperor.

"Southeast!" Just as she was thinking, a gnat-like voice came into her ears, the same one that had reminded her to return to her physical body.

She hurriedly raised her eyes to look to the southeast, and sure enough, she saw a ghostly figure flying towards her. She shrunk down and hid herself in a recess under the eaves. One of the beams there was broken, just enough for her to hide. Unexpectedly, she bumped into a hard thing, and she gasped in pain.

Luo Ning's ears in the room moved slightly, obviously he had heard something, grabbed the long sword on the table and walked out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tang's face changed, and she said, "Senior sister!"

Luo Ning glanced back at her, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your good husband is still of some use." As he spoke, he had already taken the lead out of the door, standing by the railing and looking at the sparkling twilight lake, with a rare and gentle color floating in his eyes, and said, "Count, the little princess should also grow up, and I don't know what she looks like?" Is it more like Brother Kuan, or more like Wanyi?"

Mrs. Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out that Senior Sister wants to see the little princess." Before he finished speaking, his face changed again, and he couldn't speak anymore when he looked at the other party's back.

"Don't be surprised!" Luo Ning's voice was unfazed, as if he was saying something very ordinary, "If I hadn't known that the little princess was safe and sound, how could I have kept you until today." ”

"I see. Mrs. Tang's slightly bent waist gradually straightened, and the expression on her face was no longer as miserable and helpless as before, but became a little gloomy, and she said coldly, "Senior sister is really painstaking. She slowly pulled the golden hairpin off her head, and a murderous intent appeared in her eyes.

Luo Ning didn't know that the danger was approaching, and said: "Now that my time is short, if I can't find the Heavenly Spider Fruit, I'm afraid I won't live for the next eleven years." After speaking, he looked down at the black line in his palm that was almost to his wrist, "Actually, the fate of our senior sisters is very similar." Although you have not been able to stay with him for a long time, although he has been with me all these years, I know that he is not happy in his heart......" She sighed and said no more.

Mrs. Tang stopped less than a meter away from the other party and sighed: "Who can tell the right and wrong in the past." After all, Brother Lin is still by your side now, and he is better than me. ”

"That's the only thing I'm happy about right now. Luo Ning's tone became brisk, "Since I had Ling'er, his attitude towards me has been much better in the past few years. ”

"Ling'er?" Mrs. Tang was stunned when she heard this.

Luo Ning turned around and smiled, "Yes, Ling'er is my daughter with Brother Lin." ”

Mrs. Tang's face suddenly turned pale, and the hand hidden in her sleeve almost pinched off the hairpin.

Luo Ning glanced at her right hand quietly, and suddenly said, "Senior sister hasn't put aside her martial arts all these years, right?

Mrs. Tang came back to her senses, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Let Senior Sister see it, I have been plagued by illness all these years, and I was able to survive thanks to the elixir sent by Senior Sister and Brother Lin every year, and my martial arts have long been put aside." Now don't say it's thirty moves, I'm afraid I can't catch three moves. ”

Luo Ning's jaw said: "Senior sister has always been modest, so ......" She suddenly shook her wrist, and the long sword was like a spirit snake out of the hole and only took Mrs. Tang's chest, "You still have to try to know." ”

"Senior sister!" Mrs. Tang exclaimed, the hairpin hidden in the cuffs was about to shoot out, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the smile in the other party's eyes, and immediately stopped the movement in her hand, standing motionless.

Tang Zixi was shocked when she saw this, and was about to rush out of her hiding place desperately, when suddenly a figure flashed in the corner of her eye, and a figure had already swept past her.
