After making a lifelong promise to the villain, his vest exploded

Chapter 228
Nangong Yue said: "It's just that my legs hurt and I can't stand firmly now."

Yin Xi understood immediately after hearing this: "Sister, did the Queen Mother punish you?"

Nangong Yue didn't expect her to say that. She was stunned for a moment, and then added: "Hahaha, this is a trivial matter, nothing. If you talk about me in the past, I have received heavier beatings than this, just a mere Being punished by kneeling is nothing."

Upon hearing this, Yin Xi felt sour in her heart: "Then I'll help you sit down first. Thank you for your hard work."

In fact, in Nangong Yue's heart, this was nothing. The Queen Mother was used to seeing her displeased. Before Yin Xi came here, the Queen Mother had repeatedly criticized Nangong Yue's words. In addition, Concubine Youlian often slapped her ears. , kneeling as a punishment has become a common thing.

Nangong Yue has endured this for so many years. Even though she usually seems to be free to do whatever she wants in front of Dongfang Ming, with the Queen Mother here, the heavy relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will still make her breathless.

Obviously I can endure the pain in my leg as usual today, but one cannot encounter sudden concern from others while licking the wound alone.

Especially Yin Xi's sincere and worried eyes, all the grievances that Nangong Yue had suppressed were used at this moment.

Then the smile she was trying to maintain began to tremble at this moment, trembling again and again, and finally broke completely.

Nangong Yue covered her face with her sleeves and cried softly.

She cried so suddenly that Yin Xi didn't react because a second ago she saw Nangong Yue smiling and saying it was okay.

But Yin Xi could understand and did not immediately step forward to make a fuss and ask Nangong Yue a concerned but confused question.

Yin Guizhou came in later, but he only stopped at the door. When he saw Nangong Yue covering her face and crying softly, Yin Guizhou silently cast a doubtful look at Yin Xi from the distance.

Yin Xi also silently gave him a look that told him to shut up and go out.

Seeing this, Yin Guizhou understood and immediately turned around and went out to wait.

Then Yin Xi did not disturb Nangong Yue's crying, and waited until Nangong Yue's sobbing and shaking became less frequent, then she took out her handkerchief and handed it to Nangong Yue carefully: "Wipe it, sister, the makeup on your face is stained with tears." ”

Nangong Yue didn't look up, she stretched out a hand wet with tears and took the handkerchief tremblingly, and whispered in a tearful voice: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Yin Xi didn't say anything more, because she understood that people are most vulnerable at this time, and any words of comfort are not as useful as a quiet and uninhabited environment.

Yin Xi looked at Nangong Yue, sighed and sat on the chair next to Nangong Yue. After Nangong Yue vented all the grievances she had suffered today alone and stopped crying, it was already dark.

"Sister, I really want you to see my joke today." Nangong Yue said softly with an unfinished nasal voice after adjusting her emotions.

Yin Xi said: "I didn't see anything. How is the emperor?"

It's not that she doesn't care at all about what the Queen Mother did to Nangong Yue, but she knows that even if she asks, Nangong Yue's temperament will most likely not tell her.

Rather than asking and adding useless sadness to Nangong Yue, it is better to change the subject and find a way out for Nangong Yue.

After listening to this, Nangong Yue sniffed, turned her head and looked behind the screen in the inner room, and said, "The imperial doctor said that Dongfang Ming usually eats a lot, always runs up and down, and his body is strong. In addition, The arrow missed the target and just needs to rest."

"Ah, that's good, it's a false alarm." Yin Xi said.

"Well, fortunately nothing serious happened, otherwise I would..." Nangong Yue's eyes turned red again in the middle of her words.

At this moment, Yin Xi suddenly felt that Nangong Yue still had some feelings for Dongfang Ming. It seemed that she was not forced to marry Dongfang Ming because of the marriage granted by the late emperor.The way Nangong Yue looked at Dongfang Ming was exactly the same as what Yin Xi had seen when Mrs. Xia looked at that bastard Xia Sheng.

It's just that Mrs. Xia loves Xia Sheng but is helpless, and Nangong Yue's affectionate eyes seem to have something else, an emotion that Yin Xi can't understand.

Yin Xi couldn't understand, but she was smart enough not to ask.

"Sister, have you caught the assassin today?" Yin Xi suddenly mentioned this matter.

Nangong Yue shook her head and said, "Not yet, let him run away."

From the moment Dongfang Ming was hit by an arrow, the entire palace was in chaos. Everyone was concerned about the emperor's injury, and no one came to trace the whereabouts of the assassin.

Moreover, the guards in the palace were basically just weaklings and were of no use at all. They had been working around in the palace for a long time, and not even a single figure of the assassin was seen.

As for Nangong Yue, she panicked completely the moment Dongfang Ming fell. She focused on hurting Dongfang Ming. After that, she was scolded by the Queen Mother and made to kneel down. She had no time or energy to trace the whereabouts of any assassin.

There is time now, but after such a long time, the assassin must have run away.

When Nangong Yue thought of this, her originally melancholy expression became a little more sad.

Seeing this, Yin Xi said what she was thinking: "Sister, do you have any enemies in this palace?"

Nangong Yue turned to look at her and said, "What enemy?"

Yin Xi explained: "It's a concubine who usually doesn't have a good relationship with you and sometimes gets against you."

"If you say this." Nangong Yue thought about it carefully, and finally came to a conclusion: "It seems that except Concubine Jing, who usually keeps her own rules, no one else seems to pay much attention to me."

"Uh" Yin Xi didn't expect her to answer like this.

That means that Nangong Yue is basically the common enemy of all the concubines in this palace?
Yin Xi said silently in her heart: It's really not easy for these ladies to live here.

"Sister, why are you asking this for no reason?" Not hearing Yin Xi's reply, Nangong Yue saw that she was looking down as if she was thinking about something, so she couldn't help but ask.

Yin Xi said: "Sister, I don't know. That arrow was clearly aimed at you during the day. It was Dongfang Ming who reacted quickly and flew over to block it for you. Otherwise, the position of the arrow might have hit you." An arrow pierces the heart.

Sister, that assassin wants your life. "

After saying this, Nangong Yue's eyes changed, and her expression immediately became serious.

"Sister, are you telling the truth?" she said seriously.

Yin Xi said firmly: "I was walking behind you, and the arrow passed by me. I saw it really clearly, and my brother also saw it. He won't lie to you."

After receiving Yin Xi's answer, Nangong Yue wondered: "Why me?"
