night enchanting

Chapter 21
People who are sick or injured always seem to be a little more fragile than usual, and they always hope that the people they care about can be by their side.

Rumo looked at the hope in his eyes, and without answering, he pulled his hand down and covered it with a quilt.Nangong Ye's eyes dimmed, and he was about to turn his head to the side, unwilling to see the back of her leaving, but unexpectedly, she not only did not leave, but also sat down at the table next to her.

The slender hand was raised slightly and placed on the strings.She glanced at him, and began to twitch with her fingertips. The gentle and pleasant sound of the piano flowed from her fingertips instantly, filling the room with only the two of them.

Nangong Ye turned around unexpectedly, his eyes suddenly brightened, full of deep surprise.So she didn't want to leave!It's not that she doesn't like Xi Ming, but that she wants to play the piano for him!
He has heard her piano sound more than once, some melodious, sad, majestic... Every time it can touch his heart, but there is no one that can fascinate him like today.

The tune is gentle and slow, like thousands of love threads shining under the sun, gently entwining him.He closed his eyes slowly and intoxicatedly, and heard the sound of ice melting and snow melting and spring flowers blooming in a trance. A warm feeling rose from the bottom of his heart and filled his heart instantly. He seemed to see that cold woman standing in the sunshine. Looking back, he smiled at him.Between heaven and earth, everything is revived, and it is warm and harmonious.

This time, I slept very comfortably. When I woke up, I found that the exhaustion accumulated over the years seemed to disappear all at once, and my spirit became very good.He sat up and moved his body slightly, his chest seemed to be less painful.And the warm feeling in the dream still lingers in his chest.

"You're awake." Ru Mo was holding a bowl of porridge, standing in front of the bed, his expression still as usual cold and indifferent.Seeing that his complexion had improved a lot, she handed the porridge in front of him.

Nangong Ye looked up, looked at her and smiled, but didn't answer.

Rumo glanced at him, "You slept all day and all night, aren't you hungry?"

Nangong Ye said: "Hungry." But he still didn't take the bowl.

Ru Mo frowned, took a spoonful of porridge, and brought it to his mouth, he immediately opened his mouth to swallow it, his usually cold and deep phoenix eyes were now dazzling.Thinking of ten years ago, every time she returned to the stone house, she would coldly throw the food she brought back in front of him, and then walk away indifferently, as if you liked it or not.At that time, she must have never imagined that there would be a day when she would personally feed him porridge!
People change, often in this unconscious.

Nangong Ye lay on the bed for more than ten days before his injury gradually improved.In the middle, Nangong Ao came here a few times, but he was very conscientious and didn't ask anyone to bring the memorial, and told him to rest well.These days, Rumo has been by Nangong Ye's side all the time. Although he often looks unhappy, he never leaves him.

The weather is fine today, the sun is shining, pouring down on the earth.

Nangong Ye took Ru Mo's hand for a walk in the back garden, and the breeze blew past their ears, as if they were telling unknown sweetness and warmth.

He looked sideways at her from time to time with a warm smile.These days, she applied medicine and bandaged his wounds every day, her movements were gentle and careful like him ten years ago, which made him feel satisfied.

"What do you always see me doing?" Ru Mo frowned slightly.

Nangong Ye stopped, turned around to face her, looked at her deeply, and suddenly asked, "Mo'er, do you like this kind of life?"

Ru Mo was taken aback, such a day...

Be with the person you like, regardless of status, regardless of whether there will be results, simple but fulfilling, plain and warm.Nangong Ye was extremely gentle to her, as if he wanted to give her the whole world.Ever since that snowy day ten years ago, she has never known what warmth is, what joy is, what is happiness, and now, to experience this feeling again, it seems like a lifetime away.

Does she like it?

Like it?
If you don't kid yourself, it should be liked!Also, fear of losing.

Nangong Ye got the answer he wanted from her eyes, and couldn't help laughing. When he smiled, his face was no longer as deep and cold as before, but unexpectedly handsome.He asked again: "Let's live like this forever, okay?"

Playing piano music, walking side by side, watching the sunset and the shadows of the sky.

She looked up at his bright and handsome face, and a long memory suddenly appeared in her mind.

"What kind of husband will my Yan'er want when she grows up?" A father asked his beloved daughter with an extremely doting expression, which was the mood of looking forward to her growing up.

The six-year-old child looked up at the sky proudly, with a bright smile on his face, and infinite longing in his eyes, and replied in a tender and clear voice: "He needs the warmth of his mother, the love of his father, the protection of his brother, and he can always be with me." By my side, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, no matter happiness or pain, he will never abandon me! Well...it would be best if he can play the piano, so that I can dance for him. In short, my future is to be like my father and mother Happy as dear!"

The eyes of a child are like the brightest morning light in spring, carrying a beautiful longing for the future.And that longing, as early as ten years ago, has become an unrealistic dream.

In this life, I'm afraid it's out of reach.

But she still replied: "Okay, it will always be like this."

The smile bloomed on the clear and beautiful face, facing the spring, extremely brilliant and dazzling, but behind that brilliance, there was an indelible sadness.

"Mo'er!"

Nangong Ye called her emotionally, his gentle eyes cast on her face, he cupped her face, bowed his head and kissed her.The soft touch made each other's bodies tremble, Rumo held his breath involuntarily, his heart beating like a drum.She instinctively reached out to grab his clothes, struggling and uneasy in her heart, knowing that indulging herself like this would only lead to a more complete sinking, but she couldn't control it.

Nangong Ye was just a gentle temptation at first, but when he saw her close her eyes, he was overjoyed, and the kiss gradually deepened, wildly and enthusiastically, and he couldn't stop.In the end, he could hardly hold himself back, and wanted to go back to the house immediately and ask for her.But after all, he held back, fearing to frighten her.

The second time I went to the moon pavilion was in one night.

Seeing that she seemed bored, Nangong Ye asked her if she wanted to go out for a walk?Ru Mo said casually, "I've already visited all over this mansion, where else can I go!"

Nangong Ye thought for a while, got up and pulled her away.Then came the Moon Pavilion.

Under the moonlight, the round top of the treasure has a mysterious luster and is extremely bright. The sixteen exquisite copper bells hanging from the corners of the double eaves are all reflected in a pale blue light, and seven of them are blue and blue with unique light patterns.At first glance, it looks like seven stars reflecting the moon, so special.

Ru Mo's heart skipped a beat, it seems that the mechanism is set on the top of the treasure and the copper bell!
She turned her head and found that there were many gravels in Nangong Ye's hands at some point. He threw his hand, and the seven gravels hit the seven copper bells with unique light patterns respectively, in different order.

The copper bell rang lightly, like a piece of music, which was really pleasant to hear.

Nangong Ye threw out the remaining nine gravels and hit the remaining nine at the same time. The copper bells rang together, like the end of a song and music, with only a few lingering sounds.In a short song, from beginning to end, it is perfect and impeccable.Ru Mo was stunned, only to see that after the bell rang, the non-gold and non-silver metal shell on the round treasure top was slowly opened, revealing a huge night pearl wrapped inside.

Nangong Ye jumped to the top of the treasure, reached out to take the Night Pearl, the stone table in the pavilion made a soft sound, and moved aside.The two-foot-square entrance to the secret room immediately appeared in front of Ru Mo.

Ru Mo was shocked, no one could decipher such an exquisite organ setting if he had never seen it with his own eyes.The order of the sixteen copper bells, if one of them is wrong, it must have caused the sixteen copper bells to emit the piercing alarm sound like that night.

"This is the only place in the entire palace. You haven't been here yet." Nangong Ye smiled and took her hand and walked down the steps.And with this smile, she couldn't feel the tenderness of the previous day.

It is not so much a secret room as it is a secret prison.

Dark, damp, dimly lit, and smelly.Nangong Ye led her to a stone gate at the deepest part of the secret path and stopped.

The stone door opened, and an old man with a disheveled face and his limbs and neck chained by iron chains was emaciated, his skin was festered, his body was muddy with blood and water, and his tattered clothes were soaked.An unpleasant strong rotten smell hit the face, making people sick.Ru Mo frowned slightly, turned her head away unconsciously, this kind of scene and smell reminded her instantly of the days many years ago when she was forced to kill and struggled to survive among the rotting and smelly corpses all over the floor.A sudden discomfort flashed through her heart, and she tried her best to calm down and suppress it, trying not to show it.

Nangong Ye walked into the stone room, looked expressionlessly at the face blurred by festering, and sneered slightly: "Ye Heng, how does it feel to watch your body slowly decay inch by inch?"

Ru Mo was startled, was it Ye Heng who betrayed the prime minister?It turned out that he was really imprisoned here!

When Ye Heng heard the sound, his body trembled, and his foul-smelling body trembled violently. He raised his head, his originally lifeless eyes burst out with intense hatred and vicious resentment the moment they touched Nangong Ye, and he cursed: " You bastard! The old man really regrets... I couldn't deal with you together back then! But don't be complacent, maybe the bitch woman and child you are looking for have long been reduced to prostitutes and trampled by thousands of people, worse than the old man Miserable! Hahahaha..."

Ye Heng laughed out loud, as if he enjoyed scolding a lot.But the laughter had just started, and soon turned into a scream.

Nangong Ye picked up a basin of salt water placed in the corner of the wall, and poured it on Ye Heng's rotting body with a splash.

"Nangong Ye, you must die!"

Nangong Ye sneered and said: "Before this king dies, I will let you taste all kinds of life that are worse than death. Tell me! Where did you get this king's sister? If you don't tell me, Your only descendant, this king will send you to be your companion!"

"You! Hmph, didn't the old man's descendants have been killed by you long ago?"

"Oh? Really?" Nangong Ye's eyes twitched slightly, and he smiled coldly, "But I heard that you have an illegitimate child!"

"Bullshit!"

"Half a month ago, this king deliberately let people spread the news that you were imprisoned here. Your good son sent someone to rescue you immediately. It's really filial and touching! But it's a pity that he overestimated himself , they were not rescued, and the people sent also confessed their hiding places." Nangong Ye smiled happily, but the corners of his brows and eyes were full of icy coldness, and he said: "Don't you It’s okay to admit it, soon, this king will send him to accompany you.”

"Nangong Ye!" Ye Heng suddenly went berserk, twisting the iron chain and rattling, a pair of protruding eyes fixed on Nangong Ye, as if he wanted to tear him into pieces.Nangong Ye sneered and said, "Say it or not?"

Ye Heng yelled frantically: "I've said it many times, I don't know! The old man didn't get that child out of the palace at all! If it was the old man, he would only turn her into a dead baby, and wouldn't spend so much effort to get her out of the palace!" Get away!"

Nangong Ye said, "Who would it be if it wasn't you?"

"The old man doesn't know!"

"Then those people who chased and killed the Queen Mother back then, were you sent?"

"That slut deserves her own fault! It's a pity that I didn't kill her when I betrayed the king and eloped with others."

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense and talk fast. Believe it or not, this king still has a hundred ways to make you a hundred times more painful than now?" The copper basin in his hand was thrown on the ground violently, making a loud clang.Nangong Ye clenched his fists tightly, the resentful light in his eyes was like a thousand sharp knives, trying to kill people.This is the first time Rumo has seen such a strong emotional surge.

The oppressive atmosphere enveloped people tightly like a mountain. When Rumo followed Nangong Ye out of this stone room, his heart was so heavy that he almost wanted to suffocate.

The way Nangong Ye treated her enemies was so cruel that she, who was used to all kinds of cruel methods, couldn't help shivering.If one day, he knew her identity and knew that she was deliberately approaching him by using her friendship ten years ago...then what would he do?
The whole body was cold, a bone-piercing chill slowly penetrated from the bottom of my heart and penetrated into my limbs and bones.

"What's wrong with you?" Nangong Ye finally sensed that something was wrong with her, and turned around to ask. "Scared you? You shouldn't be such a timid person?"

Rumo raised his eyes, saw the sharpness and coldness in his eyes that had not yet receded, and asked unconsciously: "Killing is nothing but nodding, are you so cruel to all enemies? If one day, you think I did I'm sorry about you, how will you treat me?"

Nangong Ye suddenly stopped in his footsteps, turned his head abruptly, and asked in a deep voice, "Would you do something that I'm sorry for?"

Ru Mo frowned and said, "I said if."

Nangong Ye's phoenix eyes were slightly condensed, and a dark and cold light flashed in his deep eyes. He looked down at her, "Anyone can betray me, but you can't! Because you are the woman I love the most in Nangong Ye's heart and also my life. The warmth in the heart, if the warmth of a person...will betray him, what do you think he will do?" He raised his hand and slowly caressed her beautiful face, the cold touch under his hand made him startled slightly, he Staring at her with extreme seriousness, he said again: "So Mo'er, please don't betray me, otherwise, I don't know what I will do!"

It wasn't a threat or a warning, it was fear, a fear that even he wasn't sure what the consequences would be.

Ru Mo's heart sank, and he raised his hand to hold his hand that was caressing her face.Wei Wei sighed: "No."

Nangong Ye held her hand in satisfaction and came to another relatively clean stone room.In this stone room, a middle-aged man was locked up. In her 40s, in gray clothes and black shoes, with prominent cheekbones and deep-set eyes, she was exactly the person she had been looking for.

Sha Zhong, one of the three elders of the Demon Palace.Met once ten years ago, still fresh in my memory.

Compared with Ye Heng, Sha Zhong's treatment is simply too good.There is no iron chain to lock his body, and there is a bed that is not too wide for him to rest on.He just sat on that bed, his eyes glazed over.Hearing someone coming in, there was no response.Nangong Ye let go of Rumo's hand, stepped forward and called, "Sha Zhong."

Sha Zhong raised his head, looked over blankly, saw Nangong Ye, he didn't react, then looked at Ru Mo, Ru Mo turned his face slightly, Sha Zhong's dull eyes seemed to fluctuate suddenly, and soon disappeared.Nangong Ye frowned, and was about to speak when Sha Zhong suddenly got up and rushed over to Rumo, shouting excitedly, "Yuyi! Are you back?"

Nangong Ye's expression changed, seeing that Sha Zhong was about to grab Rumo's shoulder, Nangong Ye waved his sleeves and stood in front of Sha Zhong.Rumo is slightly taken aback, Yuyi?It seems to be Nangong Ye's mother's name!

"Look more clearly, she's not!" Nangong Ye shouted in a deep voice.

Sha Zhong paused and opened his eyes wide, as if he wanted to take a closer look at her. After seeing her, the sudden surprise in his eyes suddenly dimmed, and he stepped back again and again: "No? Why not? That Yuyi...she went Where is it..." His slack eyes were out of focus, he murmured and went mad for a while, he turned around and grabbed the clothes on the bed and tore them vigorously.

Ru Mo was stunned, is he... crazy?
Her heart was shaken, and she took two steps back uncontrollably, holding on to the stone wall, feeling icy cold.Is Sha Zhong actually crazy? !That Poison Sutra...

She suddenly felt a trace of despair, and heard Nangong Ye say to Sha Zhong coldly: "Enough! Don't pretend to be crazy with me here, I have tolerated you for ten years! If you continue to pretend like this, I will not dare Guaranteed, will one day be unable to hold back and kill you! Tell me quickly, mother... Where did you go? Tell me!"

Nangong Ye ruthlessly grabbed Sha Zhong's collar and asked him.

But Sha Zhong seemed unable to feel the overwhelming anger of the person in front of him, and murmured to himself: "Where did you go? Where did you go..."

Nangong Ye let go in frustration, hated and angry, stared at the crazy Sha Zhong for a while, and finally walked away.When leaving, Rumo suddenly felt an unusually sharp gaze staring at her from behind, she turned her head suddenly, but what she saw was still Sha Zhong's dull eyes, she couldn't help frowning, and walked away.

After leaving the secret room, Nangong Ye's complexion was extremely bad, and his mood was very depressed.Ru Mo's heart is also very confused at this time, Sha Zhong is crazy, she must find out whether it is true or not!
