night enchanting

Chapter 14: A Kiss (1)
Led by the steward of the palace, Qinzhen went to the dormitory in Chaoxiangyuan, and Rumo was standing alone in front of the window, opening a window with a white paper lattice.A green tree outside the window reflects the carved red corridor, which is particularly fresh and pleasing to the eye.On the other side of the garden, separated by two pavilions and tens of feet away, is Nangong Ye's study. At the moment, the window in the study is half-open, so you can't see the scene clearly. Presumably Nangong Ye is busy with government affairs.

"Miss!"

Before entering the room, Qin Zhen hastily asked, "Your injury..."

Rumo glanced at the butler lightly, and the butler resigned wisely, taking away the two maids outside the door by the way.

Qin Zhen hurriedly closed the door, worried and asked again: "Miss, is your injury okay?"

Rumo didn't respond immediately, just gently closed the window, sat down with a flick of his sleeves, and said with a cold expression: "A mere hidden weapon, what can I do?! Qinzhen, you have to go back to the underground palace and inform Elder Zhuo, 'broken' The heart' poison has already flowed out, let him check it out immediately."

"What?" Qinzhen was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "The 'broken heart' leaked out? Could it be that there is a 'broken heart' on the hidden weapon in your hand? But miss, the poison of heartbroken is Elder Zhuo..." Qinzhen suddenly She paused, frowning her slender willow eyebrows, and her delicate face was full of worry, she looked at Rumo, not daring to speak further.

Ru Mo raised his eyes faintly, under the thick fan-shaped eyelashes, a clear and indifferent light shone out from the deep pool-like eyes, which was chilling.Qinzhen hurriedly lowered her eyes, Rumo seemed to know what Qinzhen was worried about, and even smiled slightly.

"I believe in Elder Zhuo, just like I believe in you guys!" Ru Mo said calmly and with absolute certainty.

Qinzhen was slightly taken aback when she heard this, she had been with her master for three years, and had never heard the word "trust" from her mouth, and now she suddenly heard it, and couldn't help feeling a little moved.

Ru Mo slowly said again: "Elder Zhuo knows better than anyone else that this kind of poison can't hurt me at all. Although the person who hit me with a hidden weapon has extraordinary martial arts skills, if I want to avoid it, how can I be hit by him?" !" While speaking, she picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip with a relaxed expression, but she didn't pay attention to this conspiracy at all.

Qinzhen was relieved, and then she smiled and said: "Yes, with Miss's current martial arts attainments, how many people in this world are her opponents? Miss, then I will go back to the underground palace now. You are here, be careful in everything." !"

After Qinzhen left, Rumo got up, walked around the room slowly, and looked at the room carefully.Spacious and opulent without sacrificing elegance.The furniture carefully carved from ebony wood is deep and atmospheric, simple and exquisite, and is placed in every place in order, but it does not appear rigid and dull.This is Nangong Ye's bedroom, and everything in the room is full of his aura.

Like Mo, he looked carefully and touched them one by one.

No secret room was found.She couldn't help frowning and pondering, where did Nangong Ye hide Sha Zhong?In Prince Chen's mansion, she has searched all the places that can be searched, only the study room and waiting moon pavilion are left!

The evening breeze was cool, and it slowly flapped the hollowed-out and carved windows, making a slight sound.

Ru Mo rolled onto the bed, took off the veil soaked in special medicine, and covered her entire face.His eyes were lightly closed, and he was as quiet as if he had fallen asleep.

"My lord." A servant's voice came from outside the door.

"Everyone back down." Nangong Ye ordered, seeing her asleep after entering the room, he lightened his steps, and slowly sat down in front of the bed.

On the bedside, a candle lamp was leisurely lit, illuminating the white veil covering her face, casting a hint of warm yellow.The veil is obviously very thin, but it makes people unable to see through the face behind it.Nangong Ye's heart moved slightly, and he raised his hand unconsciously, but his hand hadn't touched her veil yet, at this moment, the woman who seemed to be sleeping suddenly opened her eyes.

Nangong Ye's movements froze, like a child who was caught on the spot for doing something bad, his face was somewhat unnatural, but it was quickly submerged in his gentle smile.

"You haven't slept yet?" Nangong Ye asked with a smile, the hand that originally wanted to lift the veil turned to cover her with the quilt, the movements were gentle and considerate, extremely meticulous.

Ru Mo looked at him, didn't answer, turned his eyes a few times, as if he was thinking about something.

Nangong Ye smiled again: "You are still so vigilant! Even the slightest disturbance can wake you up." His smile was full of helplessness and indulgence.

Ru Mo remained silent, staring at him for a long time before suddenly asking: "Do you really want to see my face?"

She asked directly.On the contrary, Nangong Ye was stunned for a moment, looking at her hazy face covered by the veil, she didn't nod or respond, but the light in her eyes gradually became eager.Ru Mo slowly raised his hand, picked up a corner of the veil, and slowly lifted it from top to bottom, bit by bit.During this process, her gaze never left Nangong Ye's face for a moment. She had to see his reaction clearly before deciding what to do next.

Half of the veil is lifted, the eyebrows of Yuanshan are black, and Tsinghua University is cold.

A picture suddenly flashed in Nangong Ye's mind. In the simple new house, the red candles were shining, the red silk was torn apart, flying and flying, a pair of cool and calm peerless beautiful eyes looked at him lightly... He suddenly frowned Eyebrows, the candlelight on the bedside flickered, making him a little dazed, but at this time, the woman's veil had been completely lifted, and his sight was no longer obstructed.

It was an extremely beautiful face, with creamy skin, elegant and refined features, just like the overwhelming country he had imagined, and the scars from her childhood did not leave the slightest mark on her face.Such a face should have been a surprise to him, but he was not surprised.

Huo Ran stood up, Nangong Ye's eyes changed in an instant, staring at the woman's face, speechless in surprise.

Not only the eyebrows and eyes are similar, but even the whole face is exactly the same!
"You...how is it you?" Nangong Ye's face suddenly turned cold and became extremely ugly, and he asked in a deep voice.

The pleasant and warm air around him suddenly froze into ice.

Ru Mo's heart sank, but his gaze remained unchanged, he frowned, and asked lightly, "What's wrong with me?"

Nangong Ye furrowed his thick eyebrows, and his sharp eyes pierced through her cold eyes. Seeing her so calm, his heart gradually became more angry.

"Are you getting close to me on purpose? Or are you teasing me?" He reached out his hand suddenly, grabbed her skirt, lifted her up, roughly tore the clothes on her left shoulder, and uncovered the clothes he wrapped around her with his own hands. of cloth.

The hideous wound was exposed to the cold air, and the slightest pain suddenly spread to the bottom of her heart, a burst of ice cold.Ru Mo didn't say a word, she learned from a very young age how to hide her painful emotions where others couldn't see her.It's just that the man in front of me was still so gentle and full of pity when he helped her treat her wound in the morning, but now it's only half a day, but with more layers of identities, he seems to be a different person.

She sneered in her heart, and Nangong Ye suddenly approached her, and asked in a deep voice with dark eyes: "Is this a good show you specially arranged for me? My good princess! Over there, this king will take you Confinement, here, you have changed your identity and successfully moved into this king's dormitory. What exactly do you want to do? Why don't you tell this king directly, maybe one day when this king is happy, he will fulfill you."

Ru Mo raised her head, facing each other indifferently, compared to Nangong Ye's anger, she looked very calm, she didn't say a word, and looked at him silently, as if what he said had nothing to do with her.

Nangong Ye was agitated for a while, he hated others when he was angry, put on a calm and irrelevant appearance, as if nothing happened.She couldn't help frowning her thick eyebrows, and tightly gathered her clothes with both hands.

The light in the room suddenly dimmed a bit. The red candle, which seemed to be dripping tears, felt the anger of its owner, and wanted to burn itself silently to avoid a more tragic fate.

The wound on the woman's shoulder was strangled by the torn clothes, bleeding was oozing, Rumo remained motionless, staring at the person in front of him, maybe this is his true nature, cold, suspicious, and not allowed to be disobeyed in the slightest and deception.

After such a stalemate for a moment, Nangong Ye suddenly frowned, leaned closer to her, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said: "You have worked so hard to get close to this king, even disregarding your own life, to lie on this king's bed. , is very admirable. If this king fails you just like that, wouldn’t it be too unreasonable?"

There was a hint of cruelty in that smile, and Rumo's complexion changed slightly, and before he could react, Nangong Ye had already pushed him down on the bed.

Her heart tightened, and she struggled instinctively, but Nangong Ye firmly held her down. He laughed and said, "Stop pretending, this king won't do that!"

Ru Mo turned cold, stopped struggling, and looked at him coldly, "Nangong Ye, let me go."

Nangong Ye ignored it, and looked back coldly, as if he didn't intend to let her go, but also seemed to want to see how she would escape this catastrophe.

Ru Mo suddenly said angrily: "I really regret that I shouldn't have saved you back then! Do you know that for more than half a month, I bought everything you ate with my injuries!" Eye sockets suddenly turned red , She bit her lip and turned her head inward.Nangong Ye's heart trembled, and he unconsciously loosened his hold on her by two points. Rumo immediately pushed him away, turned over and got out of bed, as if he wanted to rush out the door.

But her clothes are still in his hands.As a result, there was only a hiss, and the white clothes were separated from her body, and the chest wrap inside was also torn and fell to the ground.

The woman's clean upper body was immediately exposed in the air.

The air froze for a moment, and the surroundings were silent.

The originally dim candlelight somehow lit up again, illuminating the woman's beautiful body like a fairy, exuding a holy radiance.Nangong Ye felt that his breathing was stagnant, he held onto the woman's clothes, and stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the person standing beside the bed, forgetting to react.

With a bright red face that pierced her ears, Rumo hastily covered her chest with her arms, turned around, and turned her back to Nangong Ye.

The woman's back was white and smooth, with perfect lines, like a rare art treasure, without the slightest blemish, let alone ferocious whip marks.Nangong Ye stared blankly, stood up, looked at the intact skin on her back, and couldn't help but touch it with his hands.The woman's warm skin was smooth and soft like fine silk.He couldn't help but be amazed that the whip he whipped that day was so deep that the bones could be seen, it was impossible to recover to the point where not even a trace could be found in such a short period of time.Could it be that they are not alone?But they look so alike!

Ru Mo's body trembled slightly due to his touch, and he hurriedly dodged sideways, grabbed the clothes that could no longer cover his body, covered his chest, and glared angrily at the man opposite.

Nangong Ye knew that she was wronged, so he punished her in vain, quickly found a piece of clothing, put it on her, and was about to help her treat the wound, but was pushed away coldly by Ru Mo.

Nangong Ye frowned and said, "Your injury..."

"I can't die! Don't worry about it!" Ru Mo cut off his mouth, his eyes were stubborn and extremely cold.

Nangong Ye had no choice but to let go, looked at her quietly, and slowly felt that there was still some difference between them.The woman in Chaoxi Garden had an enchanting and charming smile that captivated people's hearts.But in front of her, she was always icy and cold, repelling others for thousands of miles.He suddenly felt that the familiarity she gave him at this reunion might not come from ten years ago, but from the woman in Chaoxi Garden whom he was guarding against in every possible way!They are so similar, what is the origin?
"Mo'er, do you know what my princess looks like?"

Ru Mo's eyes flashed, without raising his head, he replied coldly: "What does she look like, what does it have to do with me?"

Nangong Ye sighed: "Don't you wonder why I treated you like that just now?"

Ru Mo said: "I only know that I shouldn't stay today. I don't care about anything else." After finishing speaking, he had arranged his clothes and was about to leave.

Nangong Ye panicked, immediately grabbed her hand, and hurriedly said, "Because you look alike, I thought you were her."

Ru Mo stopped in his tracks, turned around and asked, "Then how do you know now that I'm not her?"

Nangong Ye was stunned for a moment, and then smiled softly, only thinking that she was angry, and said kindly: "I made a mistake just now, don't be angry." The cold look, since his handsome face has completely faded away, He held her other hand, pulled her body, and his movements were extremely gentle, and sighed softly: "Mo'er, in my life, there are too many intrigues, intrigues, many people and things, all of them I have to guard against it. I don’t want the closest people around me to think about how to plot me all the time. So, I hope that we can still trust each other like ten years ago, without suspicion and defense. You, understand ?"

He looked at her deeply, his eyes were deep and full of anticipation, but Rumo lowered his eyes and remained silent, his heart trembled faintly, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

Nangong Ye held her hand tightly, and sincerely asked her to stay: "Don't go, stay in this mansion and accompany me." As he said, he embraced her in his arms, like embracing a dream of his own, a little nervous, Some joy.Ru Mo let him hold him, motionless, the surroundings were quiet, she leaned against his chest quietly, she felt warm, as if she was tightly wrapped by the warm spring sun, she couldn't help being in a trance, there seemed to be something in her body Something is waking up, just about to move, carefully digging open the solid ice that has accumulated and solidified in her heart during the ruthless years.Not under her control.

Ru Mo closed his eyes, and a soreness suddenly surged in his heart.

Maybe everyone living in complicated struggles will miss the simplicity they once had, and whether it is him, the prince in the center of power, or her, the leader of the party who lives in the dark, their lives are full of blood. Struggle, I have long been used to suspicion, precaution, and calculation, how can I return to the simplicity of the past?Nangong Ye, for so many years, worked so hard to find her, so it turned out that he wanted to keep a piece of innocence that had passed away.He thought that only she back then would not suddenly want his life when she dreamed back at midnight?
"Nangong Ye, I'm tired." Ru Mo pushed him away and said calmly.

Nangong Ye smiled considerately: "Then you rest, I'll come back tomorrow."

Ru Mo turned around and said nothing.When Nangong Ye left, she blew out the candle lamp, and the room was plunged into darkness. She approached the window, heard the footsteps outside gradually drifting away, and then gently opened the window a crack.As she expected, Nangong Ye did not go back to the study, but went straight out of Chaoxiang Garden.Her heart turned cold, he just told her to trust each other, but if he really trusted, then why is he rushing to Chao Xiyuan right now?

Although she believed that Weilan would not reveal her flaws, she lay back on the bed, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Open your eyes, look at the cold moon in the sky, and sprinkle the cool white moonlight all over the ground through the window paper.When she was a child, she thought that the moonlight was beautiful, but now she felt that the color of the moonlight was so bleak, as if she had read all the vicissitudes of the world.

She lay quietly on the bed, recalling Nangong Ye's various reactions after the veil was lifted.It was clearly in her expectation, but why did she feel lost?Could it be that he was deluded by his gentleness during the day, thinking that such a high and cold prince like him would really treat her differently because of a dusty past?

How naive!

She laughed at herself, such a stupid temptation, she would never do it again.

After the third watch, in the dead of night, she slowly closed her eyes, probably for a long time, and finally felt sleepy.

However, at this moment, a sound so subtle that ordinary people could not hear it entered her ears.Someone broke through the window and entered the house. He was agile and did not disturb the guards outside.She frowned, and suddenly regained consciousness, but still closed her eyes tightly. She seemed to be sleeping peacefully, but in fact she gathered her true energy secretly, waiting for the other party's approach on guard.

The person who came walked slowly and moved very lightly. If she hadn't been awake, maybe even she wouldn't have noticed when there was an extra person in the room.As a result, she became more and more on guard, but she also keenly sensed that there was no murderous intent or even hostility in the person who came.

"Who?" Rumo asked in a low voice.

The visitor paused at the sound, stood with his back to the moonlight, and did not answer.The tall figure was cast on the ground in a long line.Ru Mo turned his head to look, and the first thing he saw was a big knife, held in the hands of the visitor, in the shape of fireworks.She froze for a moment, she didn't need to look at the person's face, she already knew who it was.

"Remnant song?!"

Lie Yan can't sing, don't can't sing.

Ru Mo got up immediately, surprised, "Yi Yu said, it will take you a few days before you can return to the city, why did you arrive so soon?"

Mo Cange didn't answer, walked slowly to the bed, and glanced at her injured left shoulder lightly. In the darkness, his resolute face couldn't see much expression, but all the answers contained In this look.

Ru Mo suddenly understood that in the middle of the night, he took such a risk and sneaked into the palace to see her suddenly, travel-stained and exhausted, he must have got the news that she was injured.Unable to be moved, he smiled slightly at him and said, "Small injury, it's not a problem. Did things go well on your trip?"

"It's going well." Mo Cange answered briefly, his voice was low, revealing the exhaustion and hoarseness caused by days of running around, and it was a little less cold than usual.

Ru Mo smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

It was rare for her to be polite, Mo Cange seemed a little unaccustomed to hearing this, frowned slightly, and said nothing.

Rumo said again: "Is there any extra gain from this trip to the Kingdom of Jin?"

Mo Cange thought for a while, and then said: "I met the people from the Bloodthirsty Building, and the other piano that was with Zheng Yin fell into their hands."

Ru Mo was startled: "You mean, Xi Ming?"

Mo Cange nodded, solemnly said: "Exactly."

Ru Mo frowned, his eyes changed a few times, he got out of bed in draped clothes, and stood in the moonlight in front of the window.The moonlight was bright, and the hollowed-out panes were printed on her beautiful face full of perseverance, and the complex shadows intertwined by those carved patterns shrouded her dark and difficult mood.She stared at the moonlight and sighed, "Zhengyin and Ximing disappeared for many years, but now they are reappearing at the same time, and Ximing is still in the hands of the bloodthirsty building gatekeeper. It seems that the world is not going to be peaceful!"

Mo Cange said lightly: "I've never been really peaceful. You don't have to think too much, just rest, I'm leaving." After speaking, he turned and left, but was stopped by Ru Mo: "Cange!"

"Xun Zhengyin, you must have gone through a lot of trouble. Thank you!" She turned around and thanked her, very rarely sincerely.Mo Cange frowned slightly, but didn't look back, just pondered for a moment, and said in a calm tone, "It's fine if you like it."
