night enchanting

Chapter 18 The Origin of the Spirit Position (1)
As night fell, the rain outside had stopped.The light in the room was also turned on, and the faint yellow halo illuminated the woman's elegant and refined face, showing a hint of rosiness.

When Ru Mo opened his eyes, it was just after midnight and there was no one around.She moved her hands and found that she had strength, as if she had returned to the previous morning, except for some pain in the wound on her arm and left shoulder, there was no other discomfort.

It seemed that Nangong Ye saved her.The Dry Cold Divine Art is really extraordinary, if one day, if they match her Tianyi Divine Art, who will lose and who will win?
Rumo got up, opened the window, and saw the study opposite, and the light was on.He couldn't help being taken aback, he should be very tired after finishing his exercises, but at this time, why didn't he sleep yet?Ru Mo closed the window, thought for a moment, opened the door and walked out.

Due to the rain during the day, the air in the courtyard was humid and slightly cool.Rumo came to the opposite side and stopped outside the window, the window was not closed, revealing a gap, Rumo saw that Nangong Ye was buried in government affairs, although his face was very tired, but his attitude of approving the memorial was extremely serious.

"Come here, pour me a cup of hot tea." Nangong Ye ordered without raising his head, but there was no response for a long time, and then he remembered that it had passed the fourth watch and all the servants had been sent back.So he got up and poured water, took a sip, sat down again, and continued to read the scriptures.Rumo stood outside the window for a while, looking at his tired eyes at this moment, and then recalling his cold expression, suspicious eyes, angry words and deeds during the day, he couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart.

As she thought, he would misunderstand her and save her, but she didn't expect that after spending nearly half of his strength, he could still hold on and deal with government affairs overnight.People say that the royal family has no family, and he is really an exception.After Ye's rebellion and Nangong Ye put down the rebellion, he was fully qualified and able to sit on the throne, but he chose to support his elder brother without hesitation.He cared so much about his relatives and protected the imperial power so much, if she could find a way to undo the poison, how would they face each other as the two of them in the future?
Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly dimmed, and under the starless and moonless night sky, she couldn't see any light in her heart, and she sighed involuntarily.

"Who?" Nangong Ye suddenly shouted.

Ru Mo was taken aback, unexpectedly he could maintain a high level of vigilance in such a tired state.Being discovered like this, she didn't panic, turned around, and stood quietly outside the window.

Nangong Ye drew his sword out, his body was like the wind, and his strike was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, his sword was on her neck with a strong murderous aura.

Ru Mo turned his back to him, didn't move, his face was extremely calm.

The surrounding area was pitch black, only the light from the study room shone through the window behind her, illuminating her thin back. After seeing it clearly, Nangong Ye said in a daze, "Mo'er? It's you! You're awake, why are you awake?" stand right here?"

Rumo didn't respond, Nangong Ye quickly withdrew his sword and turned her body, her eyes were cold and indifferent, but he was beaming with joy, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you here to see me?"

Ru Mo was slightly taken aback, and frowned intuitively, "Why don't you suspect that I'm here to inquire about news or to harm you?"

With his suspicion, that was his proper reaction!
Nangong Ye's eyes dimmed, and when he thought about what happened during the day, he felt guilty, "Mo'er, during the day...I..." I wanted to apologize, but I was used to being superior, and those apologetic words were hard to utter.

Rumo continued: "It's over. I saved your life back then, and you saved mine today. We will be even. From now on, we will not owe each other."

Her tone was calm, and her face was calm and indifferent, but her heart was surging like waves. The love of ten years was wiped out like this.

This time, it's not a joke, it's not a temptation, it's not self-deception.It was the decision she made just now, deciding to give up and no longer use the only thing she wanted to cherish in the past ten years.Originally, she wanted to use the guilt that this misunderstanding caused in his heart to lighten his defenses, but just now, when she stood outside the window and saw his tired eyes, she suddenly realized sadly that no matter what he did For her, she couldn't be cruel to him.All her use, in the end, may only hurt her own sincerity.

Pushing his hand away, Rumo took a step back, looked at his frowning brows, and smiled bitterly: "I should have... woke up and left, but I don't want to leave without saying goodbye like you did back then, so , come here to bid farewell to you. I hope, in the future, you and I... will be indefinitely." After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around.

Nangong Ye's complexion changed, he quickly grabbed her hand, frowned and asked, "You want to leave? Now?"

Ever since he knew that she had indeed been poisoned by seductiveness, he had expected her to leave, but he did not expect that she would not even be able to wait for the dawn.

"Mo'er, what happened today is because I wrongly blamed you and caused you to fall into the lake with injuries. I..."

"You don't need to say any more." Ru Mo interrupted coldly, looking back at him.

The night wind picked up her long hair and brushed past the eyes of the two of them. In this dense night, it was like an invisible knife, drawing a crack between the two of them.Nangong Ye grabbed her hand, holding it tighter and tighter. Thinking of her struggling in the lake, thinking of her thin body hanging on the shore trembling by the cold wind, her heart was filled with remorse, distress and guilt.

"Mo'er..."

"Nangong Ye!" Ru Mo interrupted him again, turning his head away slightly, ignoring the guilt and persuasion in his eyes, and slowly said: "Tell me, you hope we can trust each other like ten years ago, without suspicion Be on guard, but in fact, you have never trusted me, and you have never let go of your guard against me."

Nangong Ye said dejectedly: "That's because you have always refused to tell me everything about you. I once sent people to investigate for ten years, but they couldn't find out who you are. I thought you didn't have a name, so It's so hard to find out, but ten years later, you appeared in front of me in this way, with superb piano skills, good martial arts, and invulnerable to all poisons. Such a special person should never be an ordinary unknown person, but I still I can't find any news about you. I think, Rumo, it's definitely not your real name! How can you make me believe a person who doesn't even want to tell me his real name?"

Ru Mo said: "You are right, Ru Mo is not my real name. But ten years ago, I didn't even tell you this name, why did you believe me again?"

Nangong Ye was speechless, and was speechless for a while, Rumo said again: "Because at that time, you had no choice but to trust me. But now, times have changed, and you are no longer the boy in the stone house. And I , always clinging to the past, hoping to find the person from the past, really stupid." She laughed at herself, pushed him away, turned and left.

Nangong Ye's heart tightened, and he reflexively grabbed her again, "Where are you going?"

Rumo didn't look back, and said with a faint smile: "Go where I should go. I won't come back to Prince Chen's Mansion! From now on, you don't have to worry about guarding against me, and I don't have to... guess all the time, you treat me differently Waiting, is it to repay your kindness, or do you really have feelings for me?" She said with a smile, but tears gradually came to her eyes, and the struggle of getting along with each other for several days was better than the sadness of facing the back alone for ten years.She raised her head slightly, looking at the dark night sky without stars, tears rolled in her eyes a few times, but they never fell.At the beginning, when she decided to enter the mansion, she did not expect that she would not be able to control her feelings.She couldn't tell more and more why she came to him.
Seeing her like this, Nangong Ye was so distressed that he grabbed her, couldn't help but pulled her and hugged her tightly.

Her body was slender, and she was freezing cold in the night wind, while he was tall, with a firm and warm embrace that made people reluctant to push away.

"Mo'er, I will never doubt you again, and I will never guard against you again. I married you not to repay you, so don't think about it." Nangong Ye stroked her thin back, and his heart softened into water in an instant.The gentle and apologetic voice rang softly in her ears, slowly tearing apart her already fragile heart in front of him.

"Mo'er, I was wrong this time. Forgive me once and don't leave, okay?" He lowered his posture and begged earnestly and gently, as if he had changed a different person, making her suddenly feel that to him, she It seems very important and indispensable.

With a slight movement in her heart, she raised her hand, and gently pushed his embrace away, and looked up to see his deep eyes, which were full of passion.She hurriedly looked away, quickly calmed down her disturbed mood, and said, "But I won't tell you about my life experience or identity."

"I don't ask." Nangong Ye answered briskly, but Ru Mo frowned, and quietly gathered his sleeves with five fingers, Nangong Ye said again: "I'm waiting for the day when you take the initiative to tell me."

"What if I keep silent?"

"Then I'll keep waiting."

"Aren't you afraid that I will stay by your side? Is there really some other purpose?"

Nangong Ye's eyes were slightly startled, and then he smiled and said: "I believe you will not do anything wrong to me! Mo'er, as I said, I will never doubt you again in the future!" He held her hand and said so sincere.

Ru Mo's heart was shaken, and he stared blankly at him, afraid that he would take her words as anger and temptation.As everyone knows, she is serious.

"The night is cool, go back to the house and rest. Let's go, I'll take you there." Nangong Ye took her hand, held it in the palm of his hand, and walked across.Ru Mo looked at his bright eyes with a smile, and the words of refusal got stuck in his throat, unable to come out.She moved her steps involuntarily, following him, with a tangled heart, she slowly moved closer to one side unconsciously.Involuntary control.

In the end, it was the heart to leave, not firm enough, and because of this lack of firmness, it caused countless nights of remorse, and it was difficult to sleep.

Back in the bedroom, Nangong Ye helped her to lie on the bed, and carefully covered her with the quilt. If it was before, she would not be used to it, but today, she suddenly didn't want to resist.

Gently closing her eyes, she lay there quietly. Nangong Ye was sitting in front of the bed, watching her silently, not leaving, as if waiting for her to fall asleep.Ru Mo thought for a while, and asked, "It's late, go back to sleep."

Nangong Ye shook her hand, and said softly: "I won't sleep anymore. In a quarter of an hour, it's time to go to court, and there are still some things to deal with. Go to sleep, and when I come back from court, I will take you to the court." a place."

That place, not anywhere else, turned out to be Chao Yi Yuan.

She was led by Changfeng, and before she entered the door, she heard a mournful and mournful piano sound coming from the courtyard.Rumo was slightly stunned, Changfeng made a gesture of invitation to her, and then retreated.

The gate of Chao Yi Yuan is still old and hidden, covered with ivy.Ru Mo gently opened the door and saw Nangong Ye facing the door in the courtyard, playing the piano and sitting.

The sound of the piano is low and the tune is sad, just like a lone goose mourning, coming from the chest, making people feel heavy and sad from it.

Ru Mo stopped in surprise. He only knew that Nangong Ye's younger brother, the third prince, Nangong Che, was extremely talented. He could play the piano well at the age of six, but he didn't know that Nangong Ye could play it so Heart-pounding tune.

In the empty courtyard, he sat alone, just where she stood when she was whipped last time.With a lonely face and a lonely look, he plucked the strings and played the piano with rapt attention.

Rumo stood quietly at the door, looking at him quietly, it was the first time I saw him wearing such pure white clothes without any patterns, as if he had been washed away from the dust of the world, and his temperament became clearer, as if he had been dressed in pure white clothes. The Nangong Ye she usually knew was completely different.However, it was him like this that made her feel that there might be a great pain hidden in his heart that others could not understand, otherwise, he would not be able to play such a sad tune.

The spring breeze seems to be infected with the atmosphere of sadness, and the countless struggles, remorse, hatred, and sorrow implied in the piano music are scattered in the silent air.Rumo was enveloped by this breath, and her heart ached involuntarily. Suddenly, she remembered a snowy day long, long ago. She was wearing a goose yellow padded jacket and followed her mother up the snow-covered Langya Mountain.The mountain road was steep and the snow was slippery. She climbed up to the top of the mountain so earnestly, fell all the way, broke her forehead, and didn't say a word of pain.Because at that time, she could feel the pain in her mother's heart. She thought that with her mother's love for her, she could comfort her mother's wounded heart, but she never thought that the relatives who loved her as much as their fate would actually do it with their own hands. Push her off a cliff...

"Zheng!"

Ru Mo was immersed in the long memories, suddenly, the sound of the piano stopped.She suddenly came back to her senses, and saw Nangong Ye staring at the broken strings in a daze.Looking at his expression, Ru Mo suddenly remembered the spiritual tablet he saw in the room last time, with Nangong Ye's name written on it.

"You're here." Nangong Ye finally noticed her, raised his eyes, and the sadness on his face seemed to be melted away by the wind. He bent his lips and smiled at her, mocking himself: "I haven't touched the piano for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, it's unfamiliar. So far."

With this smile, even the eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness, and the heavy and oppressive feeling in the whole yard disappeared in an instant.However, the feeling of sadness has been deeply rooted in my heart.

Rumo didn't speak, and walked slowly in front of him, waiting for him to explain her doubts.She intuited that the secret here might not be as simple as a spiritual position and a name, maybe there was something else she wanted to know.Father, why did you betray your mother and insist on marrying the princess despite their brothers and sisters' begging?
Nangong Ye got up, took her hand and entered the room.The house is still clean and tidy, spotless.On the desk case, the spirit tablet was still in its original place, and in front of the spirit tablet, three incense sticks were half-burned, and there was little smoke.
