The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 233
The next morning, Zhu Yefei did not appear in front of Ning Ningyan's courtyard door as usual.When Ning Yan came out from the inside, there was only an empty mountain path in front of her.

Taking a casual look, Ning Ningyan didn't care, because she knew in her heart that Zhu Yefei must be looking for Longxin.

As expected, when she arrived at the dining room, she saw that Zhu Yefei was already sitting at the dining table with Long Xin, while the other seat beside her was still empty. It seemed that Nangong Jin still hadn't come today.

"Mr. Zhu, Miss Long, you guys got up quite early..." Ning Yan smiled and greeted, and the next second, she turned her gaze to Long Xin.

"Miss Long, I wonder if you had a good rest last night?"

On Long Xin's exquisite and beautiful face, there was a faint haggardness at this time, and a faint blue color surrounded his handsome eyes. One could tell that he had slept for a long time last night.

"Master Leng, thank you for arranging the accommodation. I also feel at home here, and I have a good rest." Long Xin nodded slightly and said politely.

In fact, Long Xin had been tossing and turning on the bed last night, and couldn't fall asleep until very late, and the reason why she couldn't sleep was naturally because Zhu Yefei had passed away.As a woman, just like Ning Yan's keen sense, she also seems to be able to feel that Zhu Yefei has changed a little, at least she is a little different from before.

It's just that Long Xin didn't know. Just like her, Zhu Yefei didn't sleep well that night. He loves Long Xin so deeply, and Ning Ning Yan... It seems that his feelings for Ning Ning Yan don't have much time?
Can the feelings he developed in a short period of time really surpass his passionate love for Long Xin back then?

Zhu Yefei couldn't figure it out!
At the breakfast table, Zhu Yefei seemed to be deliberately avoiding Ning Yan's gaze, and his words became less and less. He no longer gave people the usual carefree feeling, and most of the time he seemed to be just meditating on something.

Maybe it's just because Long Xin's coming brought him too much confusion...

When breakfast was halfway through, the hall door suddenly opened, and Nan Gongjin, dressed in a navy blue brocade robe, came in from the outside, looking heroic.

The three people at the dinner table were stunned, especially Long Xin, who never thought that apart from her and Zhu Yefei, other people would come to the mountain.

After Ning Ningyan glanced coldly, she lowered her head again and moved the bowls and chopsticks silently.

Zhu Yefei felt a little relieved when he saw Nangong Jin, as if he finally had a chance to break the awkward atmosphere.

"My lord looks pretty good today, come and have a meal with us." Zhu Yefei greeted warmly.

Zhu Yefei's words are not flattering, Nangong Jin is indeed a lot more energetic today, she is not as haggard as before, her pale face when she was poisoned has regained a little color today, her eyes are still the same as before, It exudes a light that is not angry and prestige, which makes people feel a little chilling.

"Oh, thank you Mr. Zhu for your kindness...huh?" Nangong Jin also saw Long Xin, and was slightly taken aback.

What an extraordinary woman, Nangong Jin said secretly in his heart, he could see clearly that Long Xin, who was dressed in white, had a stern face, and there was a unique temperament between his brows.

After so many days on the mountain, he had never seen this woman before, so he guessed that she might be a guest who just came to the mountain yesterday.

"Unexpectedly, after only one day, the mountain became lively." Nangong Jin said softly, and sat at the dining table, as if she was speaking to Ning Yan, but Ning Yan didn't raise her head, and still kept herself Eat on your own.

"Hehe, lord, Master Leng Pavilion is considerate. He knew that you were unwell, so he didn't bother you. Since the lord has already met, I will introduce you. This is Miss Longxin, an old friend of mine. Last night I just arrived at Linglong Mountain." Zhu Yefei said to Nangong Jin, trying to smooth things over.

"Dragon Heart..." Nangong Jin groaned in a low voice, but she was as elegant and beautiful as her name.

Just as Zhu Yefei was speaking, Long Xin's heart was clouded again.

She could hear that Zhu Yefei's words were also for Ning Yan. If it wasn't for that, wouldn't it be the Linglong Pavilion master Ning Yan who introduced her? There is a gap between them.

Brother Zhu, why do you care about Ning Yan so much, and why do you want to rescue her?
Among the slight details, Long Xin seemed to feel that Zhu Yefei's feelings for Ning Yan seemed to be extraordinary.

"Xin'er, this is the majestic King Jing'an of this dynasty, you must have heard of it too, right?" Zhu Yefei said to Long Xin again.

Long Xin was shocked when she heard the words, not because of the identity of King Jing'an, but because she knew that there was a story between Ning Yanyan and this King Jing'an...

After all, Ning Ningyan married Nangong Jin only for his heirloom scarlet blood jade, just to save Chu Yishang, so in just a few words, Long Xin also heard a thing or two.

Unexpectedly, he has come to Linglong Mountain now...

Long Xin thought for a while, then got up to salute.

"Little girl doesn't know King Jing'an, if there is any disrespect, I hope to make amends." Long Xin's words were neither humble nor overbearing, and did not show any intention of facing someone superior.

Nangong Jin bowed slightly, "Miss Long, you don't need to be too polite, just be more casual."

Long Xin's every move, only made Nangong Jin feel that she and Ning Ningyan seemed somewhat similar, but there were also obvious differences...

The servants brought another set of bowls and chopsticks, and Nangong Jin sat and ate with the three of them. During this period, Zhu Yefei also asked some questions about his health, but Nangong Jin just answered carelessly.

After the pleasantries, the peaceful atmosphere returned to the banquet, which made people feel a little depressed.

There was still some food in Long Xin's rice bowl, but she put down the bowl and chopsticks, and turned to Ning Yanyan.

"Master Leng, I have one more thing to do when I come to Linglong Mountain this time. Could you please take me to Chu Yishang's tomb, I want to pay my respects a little bit."

Ning Yan could hear clearly, she was slightly taken aback, she never thought that Long Xin would make such a request.

Could it be that there is still a shadow of Yishang in her heart to this day?Or did she not come to look for Zhu Yefei at all?

After a slight hesitation, Ning Yan also stopped the bowls and chopsticks in her hands and stood up.

"Well, since Miss Long has such a heart, you can come with me. Yishang's tomb is in the maple forest in the back mountain." After speaking, Ning Yan walked out of the dining room silently, with Long Xin behind her. go hand in hand.

Zhu Yefei could hear it clearly, feeling lonely in his heart. After a moment of contemplation, he also stood up and wanted to follow. After all, he was the man Long Xin loved so much.

"My lord, please excuse me, Xin'er and I will go to pay homage to Chu Yishang's tomb, you can have a good meal here." After finishing speaking, Zhu Yefei also walked out of the room.

"Hmph..." Looking at Zhu Yefei's back, Nangong Jin snorted softly, Zhu Yefei, are you going to accompany Long Xin or Ning Ningyan?

Chu Yishang... In the next second, Nangong Jin said softly in his heart, of course he also knew that the owner of this name was once Ning Ningyan's beloved, and it was not because of him that Ning Ningyan became the Lord of Nuoping Is his daughter married to him?He also vaguely remembered that on the day of his wedding with Ning Ningyan, he had sent someone to secretly bring Chu Yishang, who was in a coma, to the imperial capital. Still seems like yesterday.

After a moment of silence, Nangong Jin also stood up. Anyway, he is fine now, so it's better to go with him to relax.

At the back of Linglong Mountain, there is an open maple forest. This beautiful maple forest is as famous as the Qionghua on the mountain, and it is just as lingering. After Chu Yishang died one day, Ning Ningyan took his body Buried here.

On the ground in the forest, there is a shocking red color. Countless maple leaves are withered here, like a thick carpet. The faint mist in the forest and the thick red leaves only make people feel that the world seems to be connected together. The feeling of facing wonderland.

All of this is so beautiful, I don't know if Chu Yishang, who has passed away, will find peace of mind if he is buried here...

"Miss Long, look, that's Yishang's curtain." Ning Yan said, pointing with her finger, looking through several criss-crossing maple trees, she could see a faint gray building in the distance. stele.

Long Xin didn't answer, and walked forward stepping on the thick maple leaves. At this moment, an indescribable emotion climbed into her heart, and she only felt that her eyes seemed a little hazy.

Yishang, do you know?Longer is here to see you...

A stone tablet stands in an open space, engraved with a few bright red characters: Tomb of Chu Yishang.

Long Xin leaned over gently, squatted in front of the tomb, stretched out her jade hand, and gently stroked the cold tombstone. This feeling was so deep and so painful.

Standing a few meters away, Ning Yan watched silently. On weekdays, she rarely came here. After all, the feeling of heartbreak had tortured her all over her body, and she was no longer willing to bear the pain of memories.

There was a rustling sound behind him from far to near, Ning Ningyan turned her head and saw Zhu Yefei following silently, and looking back, she saw Nangong Jin also followed behind her back in the distance.

What is he doing...

Ning Yan thought silently, then turned her head away and stopped watching.

Long Xin squatted in front of Chu Yishang's tomb silently, as if remembering the warmth that had long since passed away. Before she knew it, a tear slipped from her eyes and fell silently on the ground.

Yishang, even though we love each other like this, we can't be together after all. We have no destiny with you in this life. If there is an afterlife, Longxin will be with you forever and never be separated...

She came to Chu Yishang's tomb to pay respects, and also to bid a final farewell to the man she once loved.
