night enchanting

Chapter 34
"Don't intercede for him!" Nangong Ao said in a deep voice, "Gu is going to risk the world today, if you want to survive, just keep your mouths shut! You, take Taishi Wu to a place farther away, don't pollute Gu eyes and ears. If you let Gu hear the slightest sound, Gu will take your heads off!"

Everyone was silent, but Taishi Wu shouted in grief and anger: "Foolish Monarch! You actually beheaded a loyal minister for a demon girl! It's over, it's over..."

A piece of rag was stuffed into Taishi Wu's mouth abruptly, turning those unfinished words into "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".

Heaviness and coldness have become the mood of all officials at this moment.The atmosphere in the imperial garden, from the harmony between the monarch and his subjects at the beginning, to the current silence, is all related to that woman.

"I beg you to die!" Suddenly a person stood up.

Different from Taishi Wu, this person's face is arrogant and cold, with a sense of righteousness.

Nangong Ao didn't even look at him, and asked, "Why?"

"I don't want to see the country perish, and I don't want to see the wise and wise king destroyed in the hands of a woman! Although she is as beautiful as a fairy, in front of the people and the common people, a beauty will always be a victim. And yours If you insist on going your own way, you will not only destroy yourself, but will also make your beloved woman bear the crime of being a confidante, and eventually become the target of public criticism, which will never end well."

"How do you know that the country will perish? The king will be destroyed by me? Just because of what Concubine Yan said?" Ru Mo, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally opened his mouth, glanced lightly at the man standing upright, and then looked at his face. Ugly Concubine Yan.Ru Mo sneered, "As far as I know, although King Yi is in power on the surface of Yi Kingdom, most of the military power has already been divided by his good sons. At present, he is too busy to take care of himself. How can he find energy to take care of the noble concubine?" your situation?"

Concubine Yan Gui's complexion changed drastically, "How do you know?" A sentence blurted out, and she hurriedly covered her mouth after speaking, but it was too late.

Ru Mo said with a smile: "Not only do I know this, I also know that your brothers have hated your mother since they were young, and even don't like you as a younger sister. If at this time, King Yi died suddenly, what do you think? , your brothers...is it more important to fight for the throne, or to vent your anger for you?"

"How dare you curse my father!"

"I'm not cursing him, I'm telling you, if you dare to act rashly, I can kill him at any time!"

"You're dreaming!" Imperial Concubine Yan was furious, she got up angrily and said, "My next palace is full of masters, do you think you can sneak into the palace and kill my father? Daydreaming!"

"You can try it!" Ru Mo smiled, with a calm expression, but suddenly had the power to be believed.

In the sky, a group of white doves flew over at this time, heading towards Fengyi Palace, the pure white color was in line with the sky.

Ru Mo twitched his mouth, and casually broke a branch aside, and threw it into the sky. The action looked like he was throwing a branch for fun.However, among the fifteen white pigeons, none of them fell to the ground at the same time, all of which were pierced through the chest by the branch, and did not utter a single whine.

Surprise, or shock, are not enough to describe the emotions of everyone here at the moment.Killing people, in fact, is sometimes much easier than killing a group of pigeons.

Ru Mo glanced at the white pigeon's leg in the middle, and said with a faint smile, "Your concubine, you have another letter."

Concubine Yan, who hadn't recovered from her horror, her face was frighteningly pale.Hearing Ru Mo's reminder, she suddenly remembered that this is her pigeon!In order to prevent someone from hijacking the letter halfway, a group is used every time, but only one pigeon has the letter.

The content of the letter this time...

Before Concubine Yan got up, Rumo raised her hand and stretched her fingers towards the pigeon on the ground. A whirlpool suddenly appeared in the palm of her hand, and the creed tied to the pigeon's leg flew straight into her hand as if it had eyes.

"Prince Yi is seriously ill." Ru Mo Nian said, Concubine Yan's complexion changed suddenly, she quickly came over to snatch the creed, her eyes widened, and she read it over and over again.

It is really the father who is seriously ill!Concubine Yan collapsed to the ground.

Ru Mo said lightly: "It seems that I can save some effort."

Concubine Yan stood up in a daze, not even remembering the farewell ceremony, and stumbled out of the imperial garden.When it came, Fengluan soft sedan chair was noble and arrogant, but when it left, it was distraught, which was embarrassing!
Nangong Ao turned his head to look at Rumo, his gaze was full of novelty and scrutiny, he leaned close to Rumo's ear, and said with a soft smile: "Ning'er, you are really an eye-opener for Gu! If one day, Ning'er, you... want Gu Is his life also easy?"

Ru Mo glanced, and said in a calm tone: "What do I want your life for? I still expect you to help me record my name in the history books and scold me for all eternity!"

"Ning'er has such great ambitions, Gu will definitely live up to your expectations!" Nangong smiled happily, and said, "Gu is very curious about the internal struggles in the royal family... Ning'er, you seem to be more Do you still want to understand?!"

Rumo lowered his head and took a cup of tea, and took a sip.

Judging by her appearance, she was not ready to answer.Nangong Ao rubbed his nose boredly, suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "The messenger who was lonely the day before yesterday just sent a message from there, and he didn't mention any discomfort in the body of Prince Yi, why suddenly...is he seriously ill?" Is it true? In the end, is it true?"

Nangongao looked at her suspiciously, then Rumo calmly took out a creed from his sleeve and put it in his hand.

"As long as the concubine believes it, it is true."

That's it!

Everyone suddenly realized that there were so many pairs of eyes, but none of them noticed that the creed had been changed.How was it replaced?no one knows.

"Ning'er, the wisest choice Gu has ever made in his life is not to become your enemy!" He began to rejoice that it was lucky that he let go that night, otherwise, he might regret it for the rest of his life!

This woman is too good at defeating opponents from the heart, and it is really not wise to be an enemy of her.And from the beginning to the end, she was so calm and calm, without any disturbance, even killing the king of a country was as easy as eating and sleeping.It seemed that no one and no matter in the world could defeat her!If so, it must be love!
All the officials bowed their heads and began to reconsider, what attitude should they take towards the matter of conferring the Queen?

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingguo is asking to see you." Someone came to report.

Nangong Ao was slightly stunned. The Marquis of Jingguo, who had been ignorant of the government for ten years, suddenly entered the palace to meet him. He seemed to have foreseen the intention of Marquis Jingguo's visit.Some headaches.

"Please quickly. What's wrong with you, Ning'er?" Nangong Ao looked at her strangely as his palms became cold and his body stiffened suddenly.

"It's okay." Rumo bowed his head, took his hand back from his palm, and looked at the jade cup in his hand.That person appeared so suddenly, she was not prepared for it.

The tea in front of me suddenly dispersed and flowed towards the four walls.The broken memories, the tea that was split everywhere, are clearly reflected.

"Why did daddy agree to marry that princess?...Didn't daddy say that he only loves his mother and loves Yan'er in this life? Don't marry that princess, okay? Mother will be sad when she comes back, and Yan'er will also be sad..."

That year, the seven-year-old child looked up at the god-like father who held his sleeve tightly, begging helplessly.

For the first time, her father, who loved her the most, ignored her sadness and sadness, shook off her hand, and entered the room alone.Let her and her brother kneel in the white snow all night.

Sad tears flowed on the small face, frozen by frost.Her breathing became painful, and she didn't know when she passed out. After waking up, only her brother was holding her tightly by her side.

She didn't understand why the father who loved her so much suddenly seemed to be a different person.In the next month, he was indifferent to her until the princess came in...

"See Your Majesty!"

The once extremely familiar voice brought back the thoughts immersed in the long-term memory, and the eyes that were covered with a layer of mist unknowingly became cold as usual.

Slowly raising his eyes, the middle-aged man, who was allowed to get up by Enzhun, was in shape, with a haggard face and a vicissitudes of life. Only his eyes still maintained the fierceness of the past.This General Leng, once known as the most beautiful man in the feudal kingdom, has aged so old that he can't see the shadow of his past in just ten years!Not only was Ru Mo's heart shocked, but all the ministers present who had seen the heroic General Leng on the horse back then were all taken aback.

Nangong Ao was surprised and said: "Mr. Jingguo...why is he so haggard? Is there any discomfort? The lonely imperial doctor came to take a look for you!"

"No need, Your Majesty!" Leng Chi hurriedly stopped, "I... this is a heart disease, and it's useless for the imperial doctor to look at it!"

Nangong Ao sighed, thinking of Leng Chi back then, he was the man all the women in the entire capital dreamed of marrying.His aunt, that is, the eldest princess, often called this person's name in her dreams, crying and shouting, exhausting all means, and finally married him...but it caused the family to be destroyed, and the wife and daughter were separated. .She also stayed alone in the empty room for ten years, and now she is even more lingering on the sick bed. Not only did she torture herself so that she looked like a ghost, but she also ruined the life of this excellent man!
The word love is really ruinous!So he must not let Ye follow in Lengchi's footsteps.

"How is the eldest princess recently? Has her condition improved?" Nangong Ao asked.

"It's still the same." Leng Chi replied indifferently, mentioning his wife in name, he couldn't see any expression on his face, "I entered the palace today to establish a queen."

"If it's objection, Marquis Jingguo should stop talking about it!" Nangong said with a smile, to save him face.Because back then, if Leng Chi hadn't defended him with all his strength, not only would he not be able to keep his crown prince position, but he would also lose his life.

However, Leng Chi didn't seem to appreciate it, and continued: "I heard that your majesty has a quarrel with King Chen for this? Your majesty should know that the current situation is that the Kingdom of Jin is hoarding troops at the border and is eyeing me. Containment, but once there is a civil strife in our dynasty, they will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to seize the border and occupy our territory! Although the minister has withdrawn from the court and has not cared about political affairs for many years, he has made a promise to the previous king. The affairs of the country, the minister will not ignore it!"

"Then how do you want to ask?"

"Your Majesty, I invite you to cancel the Empress Dowager Ceremony, and drive out the witch who caused troubles in the court! And order that you are not allowed to enter the palace in any form during your lifetime!"

The tone is firm, and the expression is indifferent.Ever since he entered the imperial garden, Leng Chi hadn't glanced at the woman beside Nangong Ao.He didn't know that the demon girl whom he called the chaotic leader was actually connected with his blood.

"Sorceress?" Rumo raised her head, a deep stabbing expression suddenly appeared in her expressionless eyes. Anyone can call her a witch, but this person can't.

"The Marquis of Jingguo is really merciful to the little girl! He didn't let the king kill me to appease the public's anger!"

My heart was suffocating with pain, but my face was smiling brightly.

Leng Chi glanced at her indifferently, just a glance, and there was a trace of strangeness in his eyes.

Such a face... really has the capital to harm the country!It's just... I seem to have seen it somewhere?There is a vague familiarity... In the past ten years, he has hardly been able to stay behind closed doors. How could he have seen such a young woman!Suppressing the inexplicable feeling, he resumed his usual indifference, and said: "As long as you don't harm Chao Gang, I don't care whether you live or die."

Well said, well said!Ru Mo clapped his hands and sneered, "I haven't seen you for ten years, but the Lord Jingguo has become more benevolent!"

"I haven't seen you in ten years? Do you know Ben Hou?" Leng Chi's eyes were sharp, and he came straight towards her.

Rumo did not evade, and said with a sarcastic smile: "I know! Aren't you the general Leng who abandoned his wife ten years ago in order to marry the eldest princess, and caused his daughter to die unexpectedly?"

Leng Chi's complexion changed, and he said anxiously: "Who are you? How do you know..." How do you know that his daughter died unexpectedly?Everyone thought that their mother and daughter went back to their hometown in a fit of rage.

"I am the Lord of the Demon Palace, so naturally I know everything." Ru Mo raised his head with a sense of arrogance.

Leng Chi was disdainful, and snorted: "The witch of the demon palace, you come from a humble background, with your unclean body, it's wishful thinking to want to be the queen of a country!"

Pupils shrank, and blood surged, Rumo smiled bitterly: "Yes, I come from a humble background, how can I compare to you, Lord Hou,...to climb into the royal family and have a high status!"

The pair of father and daughter who used to be the most affectionate in the world met for the first time after ten years, and the confrontation was full of gunpowder.

There is no joy, only sorrow.The deepest sorrow.

Nangong Ao frowned, wondering at her reaction.Some people said that she was a witch before, and said that she came from a humble background, but she didn't take it to heart at all.Why now... Now that Marquis Jingguo said this, she seemed to be a different person.Emotions are so intense!
"Ning'er..."

"I'm not feeling well, so I'm going back to the palace first." After leaving these words, she quickly left, leaving this place where it was difficult for her to breathe.

At the speed of escaping, he passed by his closest relatives.

If she stays any longer, she doesn't know if she can still control her emotions.

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.She was in a remote and uninhabited corner, her chest heaved sharply, and her heart ached like she was about to die.

The scenes of the past ten years began to replay in front of my eyes...

"Open your mouth and drink it!"

In the cold and dark underground palace, her small body was pressed to the ground forcefully, and the ruthless man on top of her head ordered someone to open her mouth, and forced an extremely disgusting big bug, together with a bowl of stinky blood, into the mouth. It poured into her immature mouth.

Powerless to struggle.There is no right to say no... In that dark world, that person is the king, high above.Unless you are strong enough to kill him, saying no to him will cost you unimaginably painful.For example, the woman who was thrown into the snake den...was surrounded by poisonous snakes, starting from her limbs, in the suffocation and despair of extreme fear, waiting to be swallowed inch by inch by the poisonous snake, she will not die soon, but it will make you taste After all the pain and torture, he finally died of gallbladder rupture.

The feeling of nausea has not faded away, a suffocating pain, from the chest cavity, spreads rapidly to the whole body, and comes from nowhere... It looks like being cut into pieces with a knife, or like being torn apart forcefully heart and lungs.Pain to the point of foaming at the mouth, convulsions all over...

That feeling is worse than death.

There were many people around, all of them looked at her indifferently, and no one reached out to her for help.

His eyes were clouded with mist, and his vision gradually blurred.The cruelty that was unimaginable before came suddenly and suddenly in her life, and she couldn't refuse it.

……

"Kill him! You can get this bowl of food!" The cold man pointed at a bowl of cold crude food and smiled at the child who hadn't eaten for two days.

The child was holding a knife, and looked at another child who was similar to her age without moving.

The man said again: "If you don't kill him, you will become someone else's food!"

The man beckoned, someone swiped and lifted the black cloth covering the entrance of the cave, and that terrifying snake cave appeared before his eyes again.Thousands of snakes squirmed, and the poisonous snake, which hadn't seen blood for many days, vomited at her hungrily, as if it wanted to suck her into its mouth immediately.

Trembling, from heart to body, almost at that moment, she raised the knife and stabbed fiercely at the other child's chest.

No hesitation.

Between life and death, she still chose life.

Blood, blinding the eyes, hot and humid, with moisture.Can't see other colors...

She seemed to be choked by someone suddenly and couldn't breathe.

Daddy save me!

Mother, I don't want to die!

so painful...

……

"Rumo, I'm sorry!" Behind him, someone suddenly spoke, waking up the woman immersed in nightmare memories.The woman turned her head, and in that distant home, the only warm man's face unexpectedly appeared in the hazy sight.

"I came with my father, so I knew he would say something bad, so don't take it to heart." The cold and elegant voice was a little apologetic.From the imperial garden, he followed her all the way here, seeing her squatting on the ground, trembling and hugging his body, such a powerless and hesitant posture made him suddenly feel extremely heartbroken.

I really want to go over to hug her and comfort her... I haven't experienced this feeling for many years.

Stepping forward, he walked towards her.He wanted to reach out to help her, but before he raised his hand, she got up abruptly and threw herself into his arms.

It seems that it has been a long time since I longed for such a hug!
With a tremor in his heart, Leng Yixiao raised his hand to hold her shoulder, the woman's body was trembling slightly.He felt his heart trembling along with her at that moment.

No words, no comfort, he just hugged her quietly like that, leaned on her shoulders, let the warm moisture quietly seep into his chest, scorching hot, as if to melt the heart that had been frozen for ten years .

This scene fell into the eyes of the other person who followed, and the incredible expression made Nangong Ao stop in his tracks.

Strangely, when these two people embrace each other, he doesn't find it garish, it seems to be very natural, as if it should be so.Ning'er was not a woman who would cry easily, let alone a woman who would take the initiative to throw herself into someone's arms. So, at this moment, how should she explain her behavior and performance?

She is not angry when others say she is a witch.

She doesn't care if others say that she is lowly.

Others strongly opposed him making her queen, and she felt it was only right and proper... But Marquis Jingguo couldn't do it!Why can everyone say it, but the Hou Jingguo can't?

Suddenly, I remembered a shocking incident I heard from Ye the other day.

"You know Yixiao...why doesn't she want to be an official in court?"

"why?"

"Because he hates imperial power, the eldest princess, the empress mother, and even our Nangong family...his sister was not brought back to her hometown by Mrs. Leng, but... was pushed off the cliff by his mother in a fit of anger! Purpose, It was to retaliate against Leng Chi for marrying the eldest princess..."

"Who said that?"

"Mo'er."

……

"In my name, there is a word condensed."

凝？
Coagulate...

The answer was about to come out, and someone behind him suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, it's not good!"

The eunuch's sudden voice disturbed the two who were immersed in their respective thoughts.Rumo hurriedly pushed away Leng Yixiao's embrace, and the remaining tears in the corners of her eyes were quickly wiped away, but looking at Leng Yixiao's chest, the wetness was obvious, and she felt a little sorry.I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say.After all, it wasn't ten years ago, and he didn't know her identity, so it was unavoidably inappropriate.

Lowering her head in embarrassment, Leng Yixiao seemed to know what she was thinking, raised her hand, patted her shoulder lightly, and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, don't take it to heart."

Ru Mo nodded, she hasn't shed tears like this for many years, and now she feels much better.

"Why panic?" Nangong Ao asked.

"Report, Your Majesty, the Jingguo Marquis Mansion has come to report that the eldest princess...is dead!"

That woman is dead!Ru Mo narrowed his eyes, unable to tell what was going on in his heart.

finally died.

"The Marquis of Jingguo has returned to his residence? How does Prince Ling react?" Nangong Ao asked again.

The eunuch replied: "The Marquis of Jingguo has already returned to the mansion. The King of Ling said that the eldest princess passed away suddenly, and there was something strange about her death, so he followed him."

Nangong Ao frowned, glanced at Rumo and Leng Yixiao, saw that they also frowned, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "It seems that Gu also has to go. Ning'er, can you Want to go with Gu?"

Ru Mo pondered slightly, looked at Leng Yixiao, and nodded.
