night enchanting

Chapter 6 Forbidden Land of the Palace (1)
The back garden of Prince Chen Mansion is sunny and full of scenery.

In the flower hall near the lake, the woman was wearing a light yellow brocade dress, which shone with pearly luster in the sunlight, making its owner noble, elegant and extraordinary.At this moment, she was alone, drawing at her desk, with an extremely focused expression, as if she was completely immersed in her own world, ignoring everything around her.The gesture of concentrating all the attention on the pen is unbearable to disturb.

Nangong Ye, Leng Yixiao, and Nangong Ao all stopped at the same time, and stood not far outside the pavilion, quietly staring at the extremely serious appearance of the woman in the pavilion.

From the pen to the pen, her movements are elegant and smooth, and she only depicts meticulously without any hesitation.She lowered her head slightly, with a graceful profile and a faint smile, making people want to touch the truth in her heart.

"She is a Jianghu woman, Yixiao, do you believe it?" Nangong Ao asked softly.

Leng Yixiao didn't answer, but just stared at the woman's profile and serious expression, feeling inexplicably familiar, as if where had she seen this woman before?

In the flower hall, the woman stopped writing at this moment and smiled knowingly.

With a smile of interest, Nangong walked over first, and said with a wicked smile: "I never thought that the princess is not only proficient in calligraphy and piano skills, but also her posture and expression when painting are so amazing. You really... let me love you." Women in the Jianghu look at each other with admiration!" Nangong Ao entered the pavilion, paused in his footsteps, turned around and said enviously: "Ye, you are very lucky!"

Nangong Ye sneered and said, "Whether it's a blessing or a misfortune, we don't know yet."

Hearing the sound, Rumo was slightly taken aback, but he was not surprised. He put down his pen, looked back and smiled at them. The smile looked extremely bright, but when his eyes touched the coldness beside Nangong Ye, the smile froze, and his hands didn't move. Trembling involuntarily, he touched the inkstone next to his finger and splashed a little ink on the corner of the painting.I was stunned for a moment, then narrowed my eyes and said: "I have seen the prince and the two sons in person!"

She gave a slight salute, and her smile returned to its normal lightness, as if the smile just now was just a flash of an illusion.

Nangong Ye raised his eyebrows, stepped into the flower hall, glanced at the painting spread on the table from a distance, vaguely saw that it was a human figure, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "My concubine is very interested, I came here to paint this morning, I don't know Who is in the painting? It is worthy of your attention, my concubine!"

Ru Mo looked at him with twinkling eyes, but didn't make a sound.

Nangong Ye walked slowly across to her, casually moved the sapphire paperweight away, and kept staring at her eyes. After picking up the drawing paper, he slowly turned his gaze to the painting. He just glanced at it lightly, and then froze. .

In the painting, a young man in black is galloping between the distant mountains on a horse, his clothes fluttering and his hair fluttering, as if the world is boundless. A trace of desolation and desolation just disappeared like that.

This back...

"Ye, isn't this... you?" Nangong Ao leaned over to take a look, and asked in amazement.

That's right, even if he doesn't remember the black robe in the painting, nor can he clearly see the blurry landscape around the young man in the painting, Nangong Ye can still be sure that the painting by this woman was indeed ten years ago...he rode away on horseback Back view!
"Who are you?" Nangong Ye quickly slapped the painting on the table, grabbed the woman's hand, and asked her in a deep voice, his eyes were tight.

Rumo raised her eyes, faced his sharp eyes calmly, and replied with a smile: "The prince has asked this question several times." She smiled brightly, suppressing all the sorrow and bitterness in her heart.

Nangong Ye stared fixedly at the eyes of the woman in front of him who was still smiling but couldn't see any expression. For the first time, he found that the eyes of this woman were as deep as a deep pool, undetectable.He couldn't help but frowned. There were too many people who had seen his horse riding ten years ago, but it was absolutely rare for him to be able to remember his back so clearly and describe it vividly ten years later.In the past ten years, he has had many admirers, all of them because of his monstrous power, noble blood of the royal family, or handsome appearance, and he scoffed at them.But the woman in front of her used such a painting to tell him that she understood him!Understand the bleakness and loneliness behind his high spirits.

Could it be that she came to him in this way of transaction, is it really out of love?

He let go of her hand suddenly and took two steps back.

Ru Mo smiled slightly, turned to Leng Yixiao who had already entered the pavilion, and asked casually: "The other calligraphy in Wang Ye's study must have been written by this young master, right?"

Leng Yixiao nodded in return, and smiled elegantly: "Princess Wang Hao has good eyesight! She can read and understand people, which makes Yixiao admire!"

Rumo laughed at himself, "Young Master, you are laughing."

Knowing how to read and write, she might be able to do it, but not to him!The hand hidden in the sleeve was clenched involuntarily, and the familiar pain came from the palm, making the smile on her lips deeper and more desolate, and after a while, she returned to the original calm.

Nangong Aoxie smiled charmingly: "Princess Wangfei is so proficient in piano, calligraphy, and painting, she must be good at chess, why don't you let us see it together, Ye, what do you think?" Nangong Ao is looking forward to another surprise from this woman .

Nangong Ye didn't speak, just looked at the woman, his eyes were burning with anticipation.

Ru Mo just looked at Leng Yixiao as if he hadn't seen him, held his fingertips that were cut by the strings, and said in a flat tone: "I'm going to disappoint everyone! As for chess, I only know a little bit, so I don't dare to play chess." In front of all of you, I'm going to strike with an axe. My lord, I'm a little tired, so I won't disturb my lord and the two sons' pleasure in the garden, I'll take my leave first!"

Without waiting for approval, she took the picture of the boy's back and wanted to leave, but before she could take two steps, she was stopped by Nangong Ye.

"My dear concubine, wait!" Nangong Ye turned around the sandalwood table, took the picture of the young man's back from her hand, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "This painting of my concubine...is not drawn by the king. Why? Why take it away by yourself?"

Ru Mo looked back at him, his eyes flickered slightly, and his tone remained unchanged: "It's just a casual work for leisure, if the prince likes it, just give it to the prince!" A completely indifferent attitude.

Nangong Ye's smile froze. It turned out that she was just drawing and playing casually when she had nothing to do. Is he pretending to be affectionate?It's strange why every time when he thinks she's entering the house for love, she acts as if she doesn't care about him at all.An unprecedented depression and anger suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, making him at a loss as to what to do.

"Who said this king likes it?" He asked in a deep voice, he balled up the painting in his hand, and threw it into the lake like garbage.

The lake was soaked, the balls of paper were scattered, and the ink that was not yet dry was smeared everywhere. A good painting immediately turned into a black one.

Rumo's complexion changed, and she looked at the back view of the unrecognizable young man in the lake, and she lost her mind for a moment. For ten years, that was the only warmth hidden deep in her heart, and she was submerged by the cold lake water, losing her original temperature.She turned around slowly, and slowly raised her eyes to look at him. Many emotions in her eyes were entangled and flowing, which was disturbingly complicated.

Seeing her expression like this, Nangong Ye felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if he had been pulled by something.He frowned, and was about to turn his eyes away from her, but she suddenly smiled, a smile like fireworks in the dark night, extremely bright, but her eyes were as cold as the fountain of hell.

Nangong Ye's heart trembled slightly, and she smiled and said, "Good throw! Thank you, my lord, for taking care of it." Her tone seemed to be really grateful.

Nangong Ye looked at her in surprise, feeling suddenly uncomfortable.

Ru Mo no longer looked at him, turned around and walked out of the flower hall, stopped outside the flower hall, did not look back, and just asked lightly: "Have you ever heard the bloodthirsty demon voice, my lord?"

Nangong Ye's expression changed suddenly, and his gaze was sharp as a knife, and he shot straight at her, but she didn't notice it, and left straight away.

Nangong Ao asked suspiciously: "What is the bloodthirsty magic sound?"

Nangong Ye lowered his eyes for a while before replying: "A murderous piano sound that can change the color of the world and can cause people to lose consciousness or go mad to death for a period of time!"

Nangong Ao was horrified. He always only asked about the government, and rarely asked about affairs in the Jianghu, "There is such a piano sound in the world! Why did she ask you this? Could it be that this piano sound appeared in your residence?"

Nangong Ye nodded. If before last night, he wasn't sure whether the piano sound was the bloodthirsty devil's sound, then at this moment, he was sure of it.He couldn't help but look solemn and said: "For three days in a row, at the third watch, there was a strange sound of the piano coming from the direction of Chaoxi Garden. When I found it nearby, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. Last night, I waited there in advance, but The sound of the piano has just started and it has stopped."

"Fortunately, it's broken!" Leng Yixiao continued with a solemn expression: "Otherwise those people in your house today may have become puppets."

Nangong Ye stared blankly, and said coldly: "I once saw part of the introduction to the 'Bloodthirsty Demon' in an ancient handwriting. The sound of the piano is very domineering. The first two hearings of the low-level magic sound are not wrong except to make people lose consciousness, but after the third time, it will make people lose their minds and become a puppet manipulated by others. People go crazy, crazy, and kill people."

"It's so powerful!" Nangong Ao said in amazement: "Since it can make people lose consciousness, why can Ye hear it?"

Nangong Ye said: "There are three great miraculous skills. If you cultivate to the seventh level, you can't be restrained by them. One is Lie Lie Yan (raging flames), the second is warmness, and the third is the dry cold you and I practiced. It is rumored that learning the ninth level of flames can dominate the world. Two years ago, people called The young man of "Lie Yan Can Song" used this magical power to destroy the bloodthirsty building that had been rampant for a while, and then disappeared mysteriously. The bloodthirsty magic sound is the contribution of the bloodthirsty building. Unexpectedly, it reappeared now, but it was in this king Palace!" He paused, and then said: "I thought I was the only one who heard the sound of the zither, but unexpectedly, she... also heard it!"

Nangong Aoqi said: "Could it be that she also possesses magical skills, and has cultivated to the seventh level and above? Ye, you are such a concubine, you are really surprising me!"

Nangong Ye frowned. To him, that woman was nothing but surprise. He shook his head and said, "The Divine Art of Lie Yan is the same as Kuhan, and its first condition is a man's body. The Divine Art of Xu He belongs to the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin. Only heirs to the throne of the Kingdom of Jin can practice it. After the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin, there is only the crown prince Jin Ling, and there is no princess."

Nangong Ao was stunned, "So, she doesn't have magical powers to protect her body? Then how can she hear the sound of the piano and be so sure that it is the bloodthirsty devil's sound?"

This is exactly what Nangong Ye couldn't understand.

As it approached lunch time, Leng Yixiao bid farewell and left.Ru Mo stood in a high-lying pavilion in the backyard of the palace, staring at Leng Yixiao's leaving figure, dazed.

After ten years of separation, this is the closest family member, but now we meet each other like strangers!The snow-covered Wolf Cliff Mountain divided her life into two parts, a part of heaven and a part of hell.

Leng Yixiao, who walked to the gate of the palace, seemed to feel her gaze, and suddenly stopped in her tracks, turning her head to look this way.

In the solitary pavilion, a light yellow dress, like a woman who is independent from the world, comes into view, far away, blurred, but still feels familiar.He couldn't help but look a few more times before turning around and leaving.

"Princess, my lord invites you to the dining room. Miss Qin Ji has arrived." The servant girl Shuiyue came into the pavilion to report.

Ru Mo Dai frowned slightly, and ordered: "You go and answer, just say that I am not feeling well, and I will have dinner with the prince some other day." After speaking, she turned and went to the pavilion, and when she turned around, a tall figure stopped in front of her.

"Is concubine concubine feeling unwell? Somebody, go and invite the best doctor in the city to see concubine concubine." Nangong Ye looked at her with a blank expression.

"No need." Rumo refused lightly: "It's a little problem, just take a rest."

"Since it's a minor problem, you have to eat. Come, follow me to the front hall for dinner." Nangong Ye smiled, stepped forward, held her hand tightly, and led her to the front hall, not to be refused.

His gentle and domineering appearance made Ru Mo's heart jump, looking at the tightly held hand, some deliberately buried memories rushed to his eyes...

"Why are you injured again? Who is bullying you? Come here, I will help you with the medicine." In the dimly lit stone room, the young man who had not recovered from his serious injury waved anxiously at her.

As if she didn't see her, she refused coldly: "No need."

Ignoring her refusal, the boy got up hastily, sat her down on the stone steps, tore her blood-stained clothes regardless of resistance, and carefully cleaned and applied medicine to the bruised wounds one by one. His movements were gentle, But the pain from the wound was still piercing, she clenched her teeth and remained silent.Lifting her eyes slightly, she caught a glimpse of his thick eyebrows tightly wrinkled, and there was tenderness and distress in those deep eyes. At that moment, she suddenly wanted to cry, but held back, but those eyes still deeply imprinted on her. bottom of my heart.

Falling off the cliff for half a year, in deep despair and grief, she experienced two lives completely different from the happy life before she fell off the cliff. Hell-like torture, bloody cruel training and fighting brought her into a completely different world. dark world.

In that world, there are only two words, life and death.

At that time, she had almost forgotten what is tenderness, what is caring, what is warmth...

"When I recover from my injuries, you come with me. I promise, no one will dare to bully you in the future." The young man looked at her with bright eyes and a firm tone, as if vowing.She wanted to believe it again, that there was still true love and warmth in this world, but he was a member of the royal family!The chief culprit who made her fall off the cliff by enshrining the royal family.

When Nangong Ao, who was still the prince, led his men and horses to the bottom of Langya Mountain, she was carrying the hard-earned food and almost crawling towards the stone room, but he left her with a back view of galloping away, Far away, not very clear.

In the stone room, he also left a note: Wait for me here, I will come back to pick you up, and when you grow up, I will marry you as my wife, the one and only.

The memory is long, and once you think about it, it will be endless.It wasn't until she entered the front hall that she regained her composure.

Nangong Ye still held her hand and did not let go.

In the hall, Nangong Ao sat on top, and Qin Ji, who had been meticulously dressed, stood aside, seemingly very reserved.Seeing Nangongye and Rumo entering the pavilion at the same time and holding hands, Liu Mei frowned, and immediately came forward with a smile, with affectionate eyes, and slightly saluted: "I pay my respects to the lord and concubine."

Nangong Ye hummed lightly, took Rumo to his seat, and Nangong Ao on the opposite side cast a probing ambiguous look, Nangong Ye just ignored it, and when the food was ready, he didn't ask Qin Ji to take a seat, Qin Ji stood awkwardly Behind them, you can't walk, and you can't sit.Until Nangong Ao said: "Qin Ji, come and sit down too."

Only then did Qin Ji gratefully say: "Thank you, king!" She walked to the other side of Nangong Ye and sat down.

Nangong Ao cast his eyes on Rumo who was opposite, Rumo sighed, it seemed that there was no way to avoid it, so he had to stand up and salute.

"Why is the princess sighing? Could it be that I have wronged you by saluting Gu Gu?" Nangong raised his eyebrows in displeasure.

Ru Mo said calmly, "I don't dare! I just sigh that I am stupid, I have met many times, and I didn't recognize the identity of the king, so I offend you."
