The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 13 Moon Creek
Ning Ningyan sighed softly and said, "Since the general is here, why didn't you wake me up?"

Shen Haoyue's hand seemed to tremble slightly. After a while, he looked at Ning Yan and asked, "Can you tell me what is your purpose of becoming Nangong Jin's concubine?"

Ning Ningyan was startled, and then felt a pain in her heart, the purpose?That's right, she put down everything Ning Ningyan, and used her own body as a bait, what was it for?Is it for a promise?Or for the deepest love hidden in my heart?

Yishang, Yishang, do you know that Yan'er is already desperate for you?
You must know it, but you never cared about it. In your eyes, Yan'er can never compare to her!

My heart hurts so much, this kind of pain is more than a million times better than the injury on my arm?
"What? You don't want to say it?" A trace of disappointment flashed in Shen Haoyue's eyes.

Ning Ningyan hesitated for a moment, and said, "Why would the general ask such a question?"

Shen Haoyue chuckled lightly, and said, "Could it be that you want me to believe that the reason you want to marry Nangong Jin is because you love him?"

"Then why not?" Ning Yan asked back, for some reason, even though Shen Haoyue saw the clue, she didn't panic.

Shen Haoyue stared at Ning Yan for a moment, and said, "Nangong Jin forced your father Leng Zengxuan to death, have you forgotten?"

Condensed Yan was silent, how could she forget?How can I forget?She will always remember the scene of Leng Zengxuan's body falling in the flames of war.

She moved her body, intending to get up, but she didn't expect that this movement would involve the wound, and a burst of tearing pain came out of nowhere.

She groaned, frowning slightly.

Seeing this, Shen Haoyue walked over almost without hesitation. He checked her wound, and said with a sullen expression: "Didn't Youmeng tell you that it's best not to move? Why didn't you listen?"

She raised her eyes to look at him, and there were tears in her eyes just now because of the pain, but she didn't understand why he was so nervous and worried about her.

He helped her to lie down again, and then stood by the bed with some hesitation. The light shone from behind him, making it difficult to see the expression on his face at this time.

Ning Ningyan shook her head, telling herself not to think too much, then pretended to be relaxed and changed the subject.

"General...how much do you know about Nangong Yuexi?"

Shen Haoyue narrowed his eyes, approached her, and said, "You asked about Nangong Yuexi, could it be that you are jealous?"

The corner of Ning Yan's mouth raised, but she said very seriously: "Yes, it is indeed so!"

Of course, Shen Haoyue did not expect Ning Ningyan to answer like this, but the surprise on his face quickly turned calm, he looked at Ning Ningyan, and deliberately said: "I do know about Nangong Yuexi, but why should I tell you? "

Ning Ningyan smiled and said: "Did you forget that you promised me that you would help me marry Nangong Jin! I want to know Nangong Yuexi just to know myself and my enemy!"

Shen Haoyue coughed uncomfortably, and the scene of that day in the hunting grounds resurfaced in front of his eyes again. He did make such a promise, but now, can he really fulfill his promise so calmly?
His heart suddenly seemed to be stabbed severely by someone.

After a while, he returned to the chair he was sitting on before, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said: "Seven years ago, when the current Holy Majesty first ascended the throne, the border rebelled, and the country was shaken. Iron blood and killing will bring peace to the world, but also because of this, Nangong Jin has made enemies on all sides, and there are countless people who want to seek revenge from Nangong Jin."

"But," Ning Yan was a little puzzled, "what does this have to do with Nangong Yuexi?"

Shen Haoyue took a breath, and said: "One night, Nangong Jin was chased by a group of men in black, and all the accompanying guards were killed, and even Nangong Jin, who was extraordinary in martial arts, was seriously injured. , a merchant surnamed Chen rescued Nangong Jin and healed him until he healed and left."

"This merchant with the surname Chen is Nangong Yuexi's father?" Ning Yan thought of this naturally.

Shen Haoyue nodded, and said: "Half a month later, Nangong Jin returned to this family again, but when he opened the door, what he saw was the corpses of the couple who were about to rot, and beside them, squatting a ten-year-old girl , that is, Nangong Yuexi—the couple's only daughter."

Ning Yan felt a little heavy in her heart, and said for a long time, "She must have seen her parents killed with her own eyes, and she was overly frightened, so she became what she is now."

Shen Haoyue stood up and said: "So you don't have to be jealous because of Nangong Yuexi, because I, the general, affirm that Nangong Jin only has guilt and pity for Nangong Yuexi, and it is definitely not a relationship between a man and a woman."

He turned around, his back was stiff, then he flicked his sleeves lightly and strode away.

Ning Yan looked at his disappearing back, suddenly her heart softened, and there was a kind of warmth that she hadn't felt for a long time.

*************
Three days passed quickly. During these three days, Ning Ningyan lived in the General's Mansion, Shen Haoyue took good care of her, and Nangong Jin never appeared again since she left that day.

In front of the bronze mirror, Ning Yan watched herself quietly, the scar on her neck was gone, and Shen Haoyue's Bing Muscle Jade Dew Ointment was really an excellent product!Although the wound on the arm hadn't healed yet, it didn't affect walking anymore, except for occasional bursts of throbbing pain.

"Miss Leng." The maid stood there politely holding a white silk robe in her hand, "This is the clothes the general prepared for Miss Leng. Miss Leng, take a look, do you still like it?"

Ning Ningyan turned around, walked over and stretched out her hand, gently lifted the dress, what a simple and elegant design!On the pure white silk satin, there are only a few orchids embroidered on the cuffs and hem, the skirts are all trimmed with light blue satin, and there is a belt around the waist. The satin material is brilliant and comfortable to the touch...

"Put it on for me." Ning Yan said with a smile.

The maidservant responded, and carefully helped Ning Yan to change her clothes and wash her hands. After everything was ready, even the maidservant couldn't help but stare dumbfounded, what a beautiful woman!

"Madam is well, Miss Lan'er is well." A maidservant's voice sounded outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and the people who walked in were Shen Haoyue's mother, Shen Sushi, and the woman who accompanied Shen Haoyue at the hunting ground that day - Lan'er.

"Lan'er, when did a distinguished guest come to this Cunyutang, and no one informed me?" Shen Su's voice sounded a little deep, but it possessed a natural majesty, a slightly wrinkled face, There is no vicissitudes of life, but only admirable grace and luxury.

Lan'er bowed her body, and said: "Ma'am, don't take offense, this is the princess who has never been in Jing'an Palace, Ning Ningyan, Miss Leng."

"Princess who has never been married?" Shen Su looked up and down Ning Yan, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of her mouth, "This is really new. Since ancient times, women waited in the boudoir before they got married, before the day of welcoming the bride and when the hijab was raised, You are not allowed to meet with your husband, and Miss Leng has not passed the door yet, how can she live in Prince Jing'an's mansion?"

Every word is thorny, how could Ning Yanyan not hear it?However, there was no trace of anger on her face, on the contrary, she was looking bored during the two days of recuperating in the room, so it's good to have some fun.

She smiled, walked in front of Shen Su, and said: "According to Madam, is Ning Yan unruly, frivolous and vulgar, and should be cast aside by the world?"

"You..." Shen Sushi didn't expect her harsh words, in Ning Ningyan's eyes, it seemed like an insignificant joke, and she suddenly became angry.
