night enchanting

Chapter 19 The Origin of the Spirit Position (2)
Nangong Ye took the silver box containing the bloody clothes, put it on the case, opened the lid, and the flat old bloody clothes appeared in front of her eyes.The last time the light was dim, she only saw the marks of cracks and stitches on the clothes. Today, when the light is bright, she can see clearly that there are more than cracks. The bloody clothes are not complete. sleeve.And in front of the silver box, there are some sacrifices, which are sacrifices that are only placed on every festival day!
Ru Mo frowned, the memorial day on April 28, the bloody clothes of six or seven-year-old children, the spiritual tablet of Nangong Ye hidden in the desolate courtyard... and the sad and uncontrollable sound of the piano...

All of this will not be a coincidence!So……

"You're not Nangong Ye!" Ru Mo blurted out suddenly, and after she finished speaking, she herself was shocked.

Nangong Ye's body shook, and he turned his head slowly, his gaze changed rapidly, and he looked at her extremely complicatedly.

"How do you know?"

If you don't speak a word.From his complex eyes, what she saw the most was indescribable sadness.And that kind of sadness is the expression that accompanied her day and night during the darkest days after she fell off the cliff.Suddenly there was a pain in her heart, as if a sharp weapon had been drawn across her heart, something was gradually shattering in her heart, and it could no longer be stopped.

Nangong Ye looked at her, and asked again slowly: "Then do you know who I am?"

Ru Mo opened his mouth, but there was no sound.Her eyes were uncontrollably astringent, and she drooped her eyes and sighed: "When I was six years old, I was ordered by the former king to be divided into five horses...Prince Che!"

Nangong Ye's eyes changed, and after the superficial calm was shattered, sadness overflowed.He turned his head away and closed his eyes.

"You guessed it right, I'm not Nangong Ye. Nangong Ye was dismembered by five horses more than ten years ago, and there is no bones left. Only this... broken bloody clothes are left." His painful voice was filled with endless sorrow. , echoed in the empty room.Ru Mo looked at his originally tall but now very lonely back, and asked, "Why do you want me to know this?"

Nangong Ye did not answer.Gently lifted the bloody clothes in the box, as if caught in memories.

"It's been 17 years, and even Nanny Xing, who was the last insider, died. This matter has been buried in my heart, and every night in the dead of night, it makes me breathless. But I dare not mention it to anyone, nor I can't let anyone know, but now I want to tell you, my deepest... deepest secret." With his back facing her, his tone seemed calm, but his voice trembled slightly.

Ru Mo stood behind him, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, through the mist, she stared at him blankly, as if she saw herself that year.

"My real name is Nangong Che, the third prince of Fengguo, a person who should have died 17 years ago." He began to tell the past in a slow and low tone.

"As far as I can remember, my mother's empress has always been sad and depressed. My father, the king who only favors Ye Huang, the rebellious daughter, has never stepped into my mother's bedroom for more than five years since I was born."

"He and I are twins. He is cowardly and cowardly. Every time he sees his father, he can't even speak clearly. He is ridiculed many times. Even the court ladies and eunuchs look down on him. At that time, I thought I had the same relationship with him. I am annoyed by his appearance, but who would have expected that it is such a cowardly and cowardly him that enables me to still live in this world well."

He had a mournful expression on his face, completely immersed in the unbearable past, and said: "Father is a person who loves the piano. I have practiced piano since I was a child, just to attract the attention of my father and try to attract his attention to my mother. Six At the age of [-], I finally used the sound of the piano to lure him to the queen mother's bedroom. Soon after, the mother became pregnant, and Ye Huang tried to harm her repeatedly but failed. The sound of the piano can confuse people's hearts and influence other people's minds. My father listened to the slander and wanted to execute me. Just when they arrested me, Nangong Ye, who had the same face as me, used a song I had never heard before to let others He thought it was me and grabbed it. Until that moment, I didn't know that he had piano skills that were not inferior to mine. It's just that he never showed it, because he wanted to leave all the light to me, but I didn't expect that I would Invite death."

"He was caught, hung in the air, and whipped. There were hundreds of civil and military officials sitting around him, and no one dared to stand up and speak for him. The six-year-old child was whipped to the bone, fainted several times, and was splashed with cold water. Wake up. He smiled and said, it doesn't hurt at all..."

Speaking of this, his voice gradually choked up, and he was so sad that he couldn't continue.Ru Mo listened, feeling sour and unspeakable.At this time, Nangong Ye lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down deeply towards the spiritual seat.

"At that time, I hid behind the side hall, wanting to admit that I was the real Nangong Che, but the queen mother told me that if I stood up, he and I would die. On that day, my father, the king, sat on the high platform , drinking and joking with his imperial concubine, turning a blind eye to everything in front of him, even though his own son was torn apart by the treacherous concubine, he never even frowned... Mo'er, can you understand my inner feelings at that time? "

He turned around and asked her, tears flickered in his usually deep and cold phoenix eyes.In Ru Mo's eyes, the same sadness overflowed at this moment, but she was still quiet, not saying a word.

How could she not know the feeling of being hurt by someone close to her?In the past ten years, she has never forgotten the scene of being pushed off the cliff.

Taking a step, she walked towards him. At this moment, Nangong Ye was as fragile as a child. She couldn't help touching his shoulder, couldn't help, hugging him.She didn't say any words of comfort, but her warm embrace was already the best comfort.Nangong Ye stretched out his hand to hug her back, struggling with uncertainty, as if he suddenly had a sustenance.

"Nangong Che." She called him softly. After the coldness faded, she could be so gentle, even she herself didn't expect it.

Hearing the long-lost familiar name, Nangong Ye shook his body, slightly pushed her away, and shook his head sadly at her.

"I am Nangong Ye. In this life, I can only be Nangong Ye! He died for me, and I live for him. In this world, he has no memorial tablet, and I have no myself. I survived to take on the responsibility of protecting my family for him. Responsibility to get rid of the treacherous concubine, annihilate the traitors, defend the imperial power of our Nangong family, and allow no one to violate it!"

He clenched his fists and stood up, his tone firm and sonorous. After saying this, the fragility he had shown before disappeared immediately, and he turned back into that tall and tough Chen Wang Nangong Ye.Ru Mo heard his last words, his heart trembled suddenly, and he let him go suddenly.

In these years, everything he has done is indeed fulfilling his duties and defending the imperial power.And in the future, he bears the responsibility of another person, and he must carry out this belief to the end. He will not let go of any person or thing that threatens the imperial power status of their Nangong family!
Rumo backed away slowly, little by little, distanced himself from him.

Nangong Ye realized her abnormality, and asked her suspiciously: "What's wrong? Your complexion is uglier than mine."

Ru Mo paused, quickly suppressed his chaotic thoughts, lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "It's nothing. I'm just surprised. How can there be such parents in this world?!"

"No, it's just the father. My queen mother is very good. She is a perfect mother. She has suffered too much for our brother." Mentioning his mother, Nangong Ye's eyes became extremely soft, and his expression changed. Full of longing and love, just like the expression she had when she said with a smile, "My mother is the best mother in the world" ten years ago.But she will never have that expression again.

"What happened next?" Ru Mo asked.

Nangong Ye said: "The queen mother watched my brother being divided into five horses, and passed out on the spot, causing the fetus in the womb to be born prematurely... My sister Wang was born at that time, and she disappeared mysteriously on the second day after she was born. The queen mother was greatly shocked. After the blow, she seemed to have changed into a real woman in the harem. In order to take revenge on the Ye clan, she searched for beauties everywhere, trying to take away her father's love for Ye Huang, but her father dismissed it , I fell in love with General Leng Chi's wife."

Ru Mo's heart trembled, before he raised his head, Nangong Ye said again: "That is a magnificent woman. I saw her when I was young, and I still remember her vividly."

"So, for the sake of revenge, did your mother turn her mind on Mrs. Leng?" Ru Mo clenched her fists suddenly, her heart fluttered violently, "Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others, and pass on your misfortune to others." The person who does this can make up for the pain of losing her son? In order to let General Leng's wife enter the palace, he joined forces with the eldest princess who admired General Leng, and tried every means to get her to marry into the general's mansion, which eventually led to Leng's death. Every family is ruined! Is this... the result she wants?"

She tried her best to suppress her excitement, and tightly clenched her hands.

Seeing her reaction like this, Nangong Ye showed doubts on his face, and frowned, "Who did you hear that the Leng family was ruined? The general's wife just took her daughter back to the countryside, and never came back."

Back to the country?Rumo really wanted to laugh, but she held back, turned her back abruptly, held the window lattice with her hands, her heart ached, and her whole body was trembling slightly.But she sneered and said: "Don't you know? General Leng and his wife are deeply in love with each other. Because the general's wife couldn't accept her husband's betrayal, in order to get revenge, she pushed her daughter off the cliff in front of her husband and son... ..."

"Who said it? Why have I never heard of it!" Nangong Ye looked shocked, stepped forward and turned her body, and asked eagerly, looking back and forth at her face with suspicious and guessing eyes.

Ru Mo quickly pressed all his emotions deeply to the bottom of his heart, and the whole person looked so calm and indifferent, as if the excitement just now was just his illusion.She looked at him indifferently, and replied indifferently: "Because when Mrs. Leng pushed her daughter off the cliff, I happened to be on the top of that mountain and saw it with my own eyes."

Nangong Ye was stunned, and looked at her in disbelief, "What you said is true?"

Ru Mo didn't speak, just looked back at him expressionlessly.

Nangong Ye finally bowed his head, turned around and murmured: "No wonder, no wonder General Leng no longer wants to participate in politics after that, and even wants to retire from old age and return home. It's no wonder Yi Xiao...would rather die than become an official in the court, so that's it! "

Ru Mo also turned around, her heart was surging with mixed feelings.For so many years, all the suffering she suffered was thanks to his mother, but she couldn't transfer her hatred to him.These years, how hard it is for him to live instead of another person and not be able to live his own life, how could she not know.It's just ridiculous that she still regards him as the warmth in her life all these years, and this warmth may one day turn into thousands of sharp swords.

The room fell into silence, and no one made a sound for a long time.

Until Changfeng appeared, he seemed to have something important to report, but seeing Rumo present, he hesitated to say anything.

Nangong Ye glanced at Ru Mo, and said calmly: "Mo'er is not an outsider, so speak up when you have something to say."

"Yes. My lord, my subordinates have received news that the Guqin has reappeared!"

"Xi Ming?" Nangong Ye's expression froze, he turned around and asked, "Who has it in his hand? And what about Zheng Yin? Is there any news?"

"Reporting to the lord, the Ximing guqin was in the hands of the man in black clothes yesterday. The man was mysterious. He once claimed to be a man in the magic palace, and threatened to take Ximing to the Sacred Heart Lake on the night of Duanyang to participate in the one-year competition. It was once a meeting of wits and beautiful women. While reciting the guqin, it was reported that it was obtained by a man with a big knife and martial arts. According to the description, it should be Lie Yan Can Ge. The subordinate... also got an important news, Mo Can Ge, That is the Lord of the Dark Pavilion."

"It's no wonder that the dark pavilion rose so fast, it turned out to be the creation of Lie Yancange, the number one master in martial arts!"

"Yes, my lord. My subordinates have also found out that there are only men in the dark pavilion, never women!"

Nangong Ye's gaze changed, "You mean, the woman in Chaoxi Garden is not from the dark pavilion?"

Changfeng nodded, Nangong Ye's face darkened, and he said in a little thought: "They are so brave, they dare to use the name of the dark pavilion to deceive this king! However, the dark pavilion is indeed carrying out the tasks assigned by the king, and they are doing well. She is very beautiful. Even if she is not a member of the Dark Pavilion, she must have a close relationship with the Dark Pavilion. You let people continue to watch her carefully, and you must not let her go, even if it is her every move. As for the sigh..." Nangong Ye He suddenly stopped, turned his gaze to Ru Mo without warning, and asked strangely: "Mo'er, why are your hands so cold?"

At some point, he held her hand.

Ru Mo was slightly startled, but there was no abnormal expression on his face, and he said lightly, "It's okay."

I had expected that the man in Xuanyi's purpose was not that simple!Ru Mo glanced at Nangong Ye's handsome and deep face, pulled his hand away from his palm, took two steps forward, Fang Ningmou sighed.

Nangong Ye asked, "Why is Mo'er sighing?"

Ru Mo said: "I have heard that Zheng Yin is singing quietly, the workmanship is exquisite, the sound quality is incomparable, it is a peerless piano. It is a pity... the world is ignorant, and does not understand the luthier Rong Qing."

Nangong Ye's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "How do you say that?"

Ru Mo said: "Hundreds of years ago, Rong Qing, a world-renowned luthier, was born in the Demon Palace and once held the position of an elder in the Demon Palace, but this person has a noble character and loves the piano like his life. What he is proud of is that he built these two peerless pianos with his heart. In order to pass them on to future generations, he will never allow others to hide the secret of the treasure in the pianos!"

"Oh? What you said seems to make sense!" Nangong Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her thoughtfully, and smiled, "Mo'er, you seem to know everything, so in your opinion, the secret of the treasure in the Demon Palace , where will it be hidden?"

Ru Mo looked back at him, and said with a calm smile: "You are a prince, you have plenty of wealth, and you have power in your hands, so why are you interested in the treasures of the Demon Palace?"

Nangong Ye said: "Because of my identity, I am more concerned about the whereabouts of the treasure. Even if I am not interested in it, this king will never allow it to fall into the hands of others if it threatens my royal power! Maybe I don't know, but this king knows very well that the Demon Palace was built by the descendants of the previous dynasty, and the purpose of the palace is to overthrow my royal power! I not only want to get the treasure of the Demon Palace, but also find out where the Demon Palace is, They uprooted and killed all people or things that might threaten the royal status in the cradle. The annual gathering of talented scholars and beautiful ladies on Duanyang night, this king this year, has to join in the fun."
