The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 39
Ning Ningyan was startled for a moment, chuckled, and he went to investigate anyway, thinking that he might not be serious about what the bed brother said, who would have thought that even at such a tender and lingering time, he was still Nangong Jin, wouldn't Nangong Jin who trusts anyone!
"Do you still recognize it?" His eyes couldn't allow her to dodge or flinch.

She smiled, "My lord is so leisurely, I have to verify what Yan'er said casually."

"Casual?" Nangong Jin's tone was even colder. He pinched the Yilan incense and said bitterly: "Yilan incense was used by the chaste women in the brothel to protect their innocence. Do you compare yourself to the brothel women or the king? Compared to a prostitute who demands love?"

His words are like the tip of a knife, so sharp, so ruthless.

Ning Ningyan's heart throbbed inexplicably, but soon, she suppressed the throbbing pain again, did she care what he said?No, she can't care!Between him and her, it was a game without emotion, and there was only one outcome, lose or win!
Wei Wei raised her head and said: "Since the lord knows everything, what are you going to do with Yan'er?"

She may still have worries in her heart, but in his ears, it has become the most irritating provocation!
He gritted his teeth, crushed the Yilanxiang into pieces, and said word by word: "Since you don't want to be my king's woman at all, well, how about this king personally invite His Majesty to take back the imperial edict?"

His voice was full of determination, and even more so, a kind of sadness that could not be concealed.

This was not the ending he wanted. To him, this woman was no longer an optional passer-by. She was like a seed. Before he knew it, it had grown into a towering tree with intertwined roots that could not be pulled out!
But he is Nangong Jin, King Jing'an of the Fengnan Dynasty, he does not allow deceit, and he does not allow the women around him to be full of conspiracy!
He looked at her fixedly, as if he wanted to see a trace of remorse in her eyes, a hint of retention.

Please Your Majesty, take back the imperial decree - withdraw the imperial decree -

His voice echoed in her mind, she slowly closed her eyes, as proud as she was, she was naturally unwilling to ask his forgiveness, but after planning for so long, planning for such a long time, she didn't want to just give up like this, no!
When he opened his eyes again, the indifference and struggle in his eyes were gone, replaced by a look of pain and sadness.

His body froze obviously. From the first meeting to now, from Nuoping City to the Imperial Capital, she has always regarded the world as nothing, her eyes are always so cold and full of confidence, but today...

He didn't understand, since he wanted to be his concubine at all costs, why...why did he use Yilanxiang, why did he set up tricks everywhere, and calculated every step of the way, just not to become his woman!

Could this be the only choice for this woman?
His eyes softened slightly, but still condescending.

She looked at him, as if it had been several centuries, and she said sadly, "Yan'er once said that before the wedding ceremony, I hope the prince can abide by the etiquette and preserve a bit of dignity for Yan'er. Yilan Even though incense is a cheap thing, the reason why Yan'er brought it with her is to keep the most precious beauty. If Yan'er is still wrong, then Yan'er is not wrong to hide Yilan incense, but It's a mistake to misunderstand the prince's intention."

Nangong Jin's face was sullen, and she frowned deeply. This woman is still so eloquent at this stage!He raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "You said you would be wrong, what do you mean?"

Ning Ningyan smiled sadly: "Looking at the world, which woman is not a plaything under a man? How many women can get a man's true love? A woman is like a pair of shoes. Once you get it, you will never cherish it again. Dare I ask the prince, Is Yan'er right?"

He was stunned, and he looked at her with an imperceptible pity and distress.

There was a mocking smile on the corner of her lips, and she continued: "Half a year ago, the lord came to Nuoping City alone with a golden jade phoenix hairpin to propose a marriage. Sitting at the stone table with her father, but she didn't know that on the embroidered building, Yan'er had a panoramic view of everything. Yan'er had long admired the prince. Half a year later, Nuoping City was destroyed, and her father was forced to die, but Yan'er was still the same. Following the prince to the imperial capital, to the Jing'an palace, the prince really doesn't feel the slightest of the intentions involved?"

He pursed his lips tightly and watched her every expression with clear eyes. He wanted to tell himself that what she said was not true, she was not Leng Zengxuan's daughter at all, not at all!
However, looking at the desolation in her eyes, seeing her finally retreating to nowhere today, his heart felt like a knife was piercing his heart.

How true is what she said?Or, is there even one point that is true?
Ning Ningyan looked directly into his eyes, and the sadness in his eyes instantly turned into a kind of resoluteness, a kind of indifference and helplessness that could not be responded to after giving,
She said: "Yan'er just wants to keep her chastity until the day of her wedding, because Yan'er thinks that this is the best token of love for the prince..."

He sighed softly, for a long time, stretched out his hands to support her thin shoulders, and asked hoarsely: "Yan'er, do you really have this king in your heart?"

His words, with a hint of bitterness, seemed to be asking her for a reassurance.

She held his hand instead, and said: "As long as the prince is willing to believe, Yan'er will have the prince in her heart."

As soon as he withdrew his hands, he took her into his arms, greedily breathed in her fragrant breath, then held her face, sighed, and said, "Yan'er, you called me prince again..."

She buried her head in his arms and did not respond, but tears filled her eyes.

She began to be a little confused, she couldn't choose between what she wanted and what she got.

In the moon cage cloud, the frost is cold and the dew is heavy.The refreshing autumn wind howled through the night, making the night quiet and serene. However, in such a night, the General's Mansion suddenly let out a panicked cry——

"The water is gone—the water is gone—someone come—"

In the dark night, a large fire suddenly lit up, making the whole sky red.

Shen Haoyue sat comfortably in the room, even if he heard the panic and noisy shouts outside, he was not moved at all, his handsome face was always calm, and there was even a hint of disdainful smile.

He knew that the man in black would definitely come again tonight, and that the faceless flower poison would definitely not survive tomorrow morning. If the man in black didn't want his companion to be poisoned and die, he had to come to the general's mansion to steal the antidote.

It's just that he was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that the man in black dared to set fire to the general's mansion in order to understand the medicine!
The door was suddenly pushed open, Lan'er panicked, "General, the burning yard is... the old lady's residence..."

When Shen Haoyue heard this, his expression changed suddenly, and when he stood up, he was a little unsteady on his feet.

He glanced at the flames outside, his clenched fists creaked, and the next second, he had strode out of the room and leaped towards the flames.
