night enchanting

Chapter 37
The lights in Chaohe Garden were still on, and Rumo walked quickly, and saw Qi Che standing in the middle of the courtyard, with a clear and melancholy face, looking up at the moon, as if in deep thought.

Rumo smiled slightly, "Are you waiting for me?"

Qi Che looked away, smiled at her and said, "Yes, I expected you to come. Go into the room and talk."

The clean and tidy house does not have any gorgeous decorations, only a few commonly used furniture are made of high-quality wood, which shows that the owner's status and treatment in this mansion are different from ordinary people.The items were placed in an orderly manner, and the air was filled with a faint smell of medicinal materials, but it was not unpleasant.

Both of them took their seats, and Rumo asked directly: "Qi Che, the child in my womb...is it possible to keep it?"

Qi Che looked at her, shook his head helplessly, sighed, and said, "You should know, this child, keeping him here will kill you. Life and death Gu will absorb the essence of the fetus to strengthen yourself, This is the reason for your coma this time. Not to mention whether the cold jade bed can extend your life after the Gu worm's ability becomes stronger, but the child, even if it can be born, is not stillborn, it will be an idiot Son, the chances of everything being normal are so small that they are almost negligible."

Ru Mo only knew that a woman with the Life and Death Gu would not be able to conceive and have children, but she didn't know that it was so serious, and suddenly felt a little desolate in her heart.Can't help muttering: "Do I also want to be the executioner who killed my own child with my own hands?"

Even if it is not yet born, it is still a life. It is her child, how could she do it.She is such a person who longs for warmth. If she can have a child of her own, regardless of who his father is, she can love and care for her without any scruples, and pour all her feelings on the child. good!In that way, her life will have a new meaning, instead of being lost in resentment and guilt, unable to see a way out, as she is now.

Seeing the sadness in her eyes, Qi Che felt a little distressed. Although he couldn't bear it, he had to remind her. "My child, you have to make a decision as soon as possible. If you really can't do it, I can... help you."

It is indeed cruel for a mother to kill her unborn child by herself. Therefore, if he is willing to be the murderer of her child, at least she can have a sustenance for the resentment in her heart.This is the only thing he can do for her as a friend.

Ru Mo knows that he is doing it for her own good, but she can't, no matter how she can't do it, she can't let Qi Che do it for her, because that will only make him and Nangong Ye turn against each other, even if Nangong Ye knows everything in the future, I believe he will She will still complain to him, and she will never let those who care about her take responsibility for her misfortune.

She bent her lips and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Qi Che! I can do it myself, I definitely can. But, I need a little time, this is the only child I have in this life, I want to feel more about him." I can't feel his existence, but at least, I can feel the mood of a mother in my heart.

Her laugh is always more sentimental than her tears.Such a beautiful smile, yet so bleak.Qi Che changed his plan and couldn't bear to watch any more. "Don't delay it for too long, you know, one more day of existence will be more dangerous to you."

Ru Mo lowered his eyes and said with a wry smile, "I know."

Qi Che said again: "You...are you really going to be a queen? If it weren't for your poisonous poison that needs the cold jade bed in the palace, I would advise you to leave the palace, that place is not suitable for you. The prince is in pain, so, Rumo, let it go."

Ru Mo smiled bitterly: "Let go?! It's not easy! I really want to let go, but I can't beat myself, so I... can't let go."

Qi Che sighed, and said with a touch of helplessness: "I know, what you can't let go of is not the divorce letter written by the prince, nor the blasphemy against you by those soldiers, nor is it the prince handing you over to the king. It’s not good for you to be too affectionate. Even if some affection is precious, it will still hurt you. Therefore, what you can’t let go of the most is actually Weilan’s death. You can’t accept her because of your obsession with love But after suffering such a tragic insult, you can't forget that you personally plunged the sword into her heart, and you can't forget their friendship and follow you without complaint or regret. Even if you die, you can still die so contentedly... "

"Stop talking...Qi Che, don't say any more..." She stood up and excitedly stopped the words that made her heart hurt more and more, but she couldn't deny that what he said was the truth. "You're right, you're right, I can't forget it, and I can't let it go, so I spend every night in that nightmare, I'm afraid to close my eyes, because my heart... won't let me go .”

Qi Che also stood up, patted her thin shoulder lightly, and sighed: "I can understand your feelings. As a bystander, I can't forget that scene, let alone you. They are all very good It's a pity. But you can't put all the responsibility on the prince. It's not fair to him. In fact, he is also very painful. Although he hurt you, you have to admit that he loves you Yes. For you, he has been gradually changing, trying to learn how to love a person. You can not forgive him, but using the king to stab him, causing their brothers to turn against each other, this will not only hurt the prince, but also You killed the innocent king, and you yourself will not be happy..."

"I know. At the beginning, I didn't think so much. Because I couldn't kill Nangong Ye to avenge them, I could only make him hurt, thinking that this would alleviate my guilt towards them, but Nangong Ao's feelings , but it made me feel more guilty. Now, if I stay or leave, it will only hurt him. I am really in a cocoon." She raised her head, looked at the beam, took a breath, He also said: "For me, it was unexpected that their brothers turned against each other. Whether it is Nangong Ao or Nangong Ye, they attach great importance to each other. I think no one can shake their brotherhood."

Qi Che said: "This is indeed surprising. Even the most sensitive royal power is not worth mentioning in front of their brotherly feelings, but for you... Well, no one can see through the word love. Only I hope that this will not cause the country to be in turmoil and put the people in trouble."

Ru Mo said lightly: "Don't worry, I won't be willing to sacrifice a country for my personal grievances."

Qi Che nodded in relief, and said: "I believe in you. You will respond ten times more sincerely to everyone who treats you sincerely. I have known this for a long time. Your majesty treats you like this. You will not let him regret it for the rest of his life."

Ru Mo smiled faintly, and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a noisy sound from outside, the sound of countless people's footsteps stepping on the bluestone slabs, and faint scolding.Frowning, the two of them hurried out of the room, they couldn't help being startled, only to see countless flames shining red on half of the sky, illuminating the entire Chenwang Mansion as bright as day.

One day after the future queen disappeared, the king was so anxious that he sent the imperial guards to search the city, making the whole capital restless. It was not until midnight that the future queen was found trapped in Prince Chen's mansion.The king was furious, and went to the manor of Prince Chen in person, and had another dispute with King Chen, which was extremely fierce.This was the hottest topic in the capital since the second day of Rumo's return to the palace.

Ru Mo leaned on the couch, took a piece of snack that Yi Yu had just brought into the palace, put it in his mouth, savored it carefully, and listened to Yi Yu's rumors about her, Nangong Ao and Nangong Ye that were circulating outside the palace, his eyes widened. Staring straight at Nangong Ao, he casually said, "Why didn't I know that you guys had a heated dispute? The rumors are really unbelievable."

That day, when she and Qi Che left Chaohe Garden and saw rows of imperial guards in the palace, orderly and solemn, she knew that Nangong Ao had arrived.The two hurried to Chaoxiang Garden. She stopped Qi Che from moving forward, and saw the scene in the room through the half-open window. Under the dim light, Nangong Ao and Nangong Ye looked very serious, their eyes were dim and difficult to understand. They stand opposite each other in the study.

Nangong Ye's voice was heavy with a hint of discussion, and said: "Let's stop. I can no longer let her stay in the palace. That child is my only hope. I must not take risks. Although she is strong in martial arts, those who Secret means are hard to guard against, if you really have feelings for her, let her go."

Nangong Ao's complexion was more complicated, with a hint of struggle faintly, and said in a deep voice: "It really doesn't seem like it came from your mouth, can you stop it if you say stop? The [-] elite soldiers who secretly withdrew from the border a few days ago, and You and I are well aware of the unknown people who sneaked into the capital city recently, what does this mean? Now that the current situation has reached such a point, according to where you and I are now... Ye, it’s too late to say stop now. "After finishing speaking, he turned around quickly without any hesitation, and just before going out, he turned his head and looked at him, meeting his gaze, which was sad and painful, making Nangong Ao's heart tense unconsciously. , Thinking of what Ye had done for him, he sighed and said, "I will take good care of her and treat that child as my own flesh and blood."

When he stepped out of the door, he heard a few low-pitched laughter from behind him, slight and ethereal, with a taste of helplessness and desolation, which penetrated into people's hearts more easily in such a silent night, bringing an indescribable Bitterness.

Nangong Ao only paused for a while, and took Rumo back to the palace without stopping. For the sake of safety, a trustworthy person has been arranged to take charge of her food and daily life.

At this time, Nangong Aozheng was lazily leaning beside her, sipping snacks, and said with a smile: "This rumor, of course, you can't believe it all, but you can't completely disbelieve it. There was a lot of searching, that's absolutely true."

Rumo smiled slightly and said, "It's Rumo's fault that you made the king worry. Yi Yu, I'm afraid there are more rumors out there than that? Come and listen to them all."

Yi Yu came over, sat beside her, thought for a while, and said, "Well... the original words are as follows: Recently, the National Defense Army has been practicing day and night, more diligently than before, and seems to be preparing for a big battle. For a woman of unknown origin, the king disregarded the people of his family, beheaded loyal officials, and disturbed the people in the middle of the night. He has been secretly reviled by many people, and many people even support King Chen to seize the throne."

When Yi Yu said this, he paused, and looked sideways at Nangong Ao, but saw that there was no trace of strangeness on his face, as if these things had nothing to do with him, and there was even a smile of unknown meaning on his lips.Can't help being a little puzzled, and continued: "The hearts of the ministers in the court are divided. They have now been divided into three factions. One group of generals headed by Qin Zheng supports King Chen, and opposes Ru Mo as the queen, and the voice is higher. The other group headed by King Ling Veteran, keep neutral, neither side can offend. The other group of newly promoted officials headed by Gu Yushu supports Wang Shangli, but their strength is weak, but it is strange that they have withdrawn from the court for ten years. It is puzzling that Marquis Jingguo suddenly changed his position and became a strong supporter of the new queen..."

Ru Mo mused to himself, why did Ling Wang stand on the sidelines and not join Nangong Ye in opposing Li Hou?This is strange!He looked at her with murderous intent, and the suspicious man behind him reminded him in time.Who is that man?

While she was in deep thought, Yi Yu suddenly asked, "Rumo, he already knows your background? Otherwise, how could he suddenly change his position?"

For her sudden change of topic, Ru Mo was taken aback, thinking of the situation that day, felt a pain in his heart, his eyes dimmed, he nodded, frowned slightly and said: "Isn't he... still lying on the bed?"

Nan Gongao continued: "Although he is still lying on the bed, he let someone let go, saying that whoever dares to insult you is to oppose him to the Jingguo Houfu. Although he has already withdrawn from the court, after all, he has been in the court for many years , has outstanding achievements, has a high reputation in front of the veterans in the court, and also has an unshakable position in the army. Apart from King Chen, the soldiers who admired the most were General Leng back then."

Yi Yu curled his lips in disdain, and said with a sneer, "So what? He thinks he can redeem his sins by doing this? Can he offset the pain that Rumo has endured for so many years? Hmph!"
