night enchanting

Chapter 66 It's too late to regret (1)
The Secret Room of the Golden Palace.

In the dark and narrow space, a ray of pale light cast from nowhere shone on the middle-aged man lying sideways on the wet ground.And behind him, a woman standing with her back to him, with silver hair down her waist, unrestrained, covered with a wide white shirt, with a long tail, stood facing the wall, It was as quiet as a lifeless ghost, combined with that ray of bleak light, it brought out the strangeness of the room.

Leng Chi slowly opened his eyes, facing the glaring white light, closed them again, and slowly adjusted to them when he opened them again, his head was a little dizzy, he remembered that at night in the military camp, he seemed to see a familiar face, in a trance In a trance, he lost consciousness.Facing the dark and damp room, he immediately became alert and realized that he had become a prisoner.Standing up, he looked around, and when his eyes touched the white ghostly figure behind him, he took a step back unconsciously.Calm down, avoid the white light and stand in a dark place, speaking with indifference and fearlessness, asked: "Where is this place? Who are you? The two armies are at war, why did you plot against this general? "

The woman in white who turned her back to him still didn't move, her expression was usual indifference, only a trace of complicated look flashed in her emotionless eyes, which disappeared in an instant.After a while, Fang word by word, coldly said: "This is the Kingdom of Jin, the Imperial Palace. As for who I am, General Leng will take a look, and he will know."

The Golden Palace? !He was actually in the palace of the Kingdom of Jin.Leng Chi was startled, but what shocked him even more was the once extremely familiar voice.Seeing her turn around slowly, when his eyes touched the unmodified face, her whole body was shocked. She still looked young and pale like a ghost, but she was still amazingly beautiful.

It turned out that what he saw before he fell into a coma was not an illusion, but... it was really her!He widened his eyes, looked at her in shock, parted his lips, and said two words after a while: "Words from the heart!!"

This woman in front of him has carried all his emotions, love, hate, resentment, and guilt. For so many years, while hating her, he missed her at the same time. He tried to find her, but he found nothing.Surprised eyes lingered on her snowy white hair, she was still so young, why did she have white hair all over her head?Walking towards her unconsciously, he asked with a trembling voice, "Xinyan, you...why are you here? What's going on with your hair...?"

After saying that, she raised her hand to touch her white hair, her complexion changed slightly, and her figure flickered, then she dodged far away, mockingly smiled, but her eyes were painful, and she said coldly: "Because I am the Queen of the Kingdom of Jin, Of course it will be in the Kingdom of Jin. Why is my hair like this? Isn’t it all thanks to you.”

The words "Queen of the Kingdom of Jin" made his eyes ache, and he looked at her in disbelief, "It's impossible, how could he be the queen of the Kingdom of Jin!"Thinking of how quickly she dodged when she refused his touch just now, her heart moved, her face darkened, and she asked, "You know martial arts? You are not a heart, who are you?"

After finishing speaking, he exerted enough internal energy and slapped her with a palm, the powerful wind of the palm whistling in this narrow space.

Because she said she was the Queen of the Kingdom of Jin, so he suspected that she was not the real her?Cen Xinyan smiled coldly, and didn't take the palm forcefully, but dodged it briskly, and circled with him for twenty or so moves. When he was unaware, he dodged behind him, and slapped him hard on the shoulder. Down, she was full of inner strength, she might as well attack from behind if she was cold, but she couldn't dodge, took a hard palm, staggered, and slammed into the wall beside her. Hearing her say: "Leng Chi, I am no longer the weak woman who needed your protection when I met a third-rate bandit. Now I am not my opponent even if you are the general of the country."

That voice was clearly from the heart.Third-rate bandit?It refers to the situation when he rescued her more than 20 years ago, and because of this, he met and fell in love.She really speaks from her heart!But why, she has such deep inner strength?Also became the Queen of the Kingdom of Jin?Heartbroken, the words were difficult: "Xinyan, why..."

Cen Xinyan sneered and interrupted: "Why do I have such deep inner strength? If you want to know, I can tell you, because someone couldn't bear to see me continue to suffer, and in order to help me avenge, he passed on all his life's strength to me... Leng Chi, you and I have been husband and wife for more than ten years, but it is not as good as the love others have for me for a few months, you think... is it ridiculous?" After she finished speaking, she laughed, ironically and desolately, and then said: " You want to ask me why I became the Queen of the Kingdom of Jin? Because I need power, and only from Jin Han can I easily obtain the bargaining chip for revenge."

Leng Chi looked at her laughing face, recalling what happened back then, although it was not what he wanted, but he did break the oath and really hurt her.But she didn't listen to the explanation, and used that extreme revenge method to ruin the happiness of their family, causing Yan'er to suffer so much and suffer so much, remembering what Yan'er said that day My heart hurts badly.

He couldn't help but look a little excited and said: "How else do you want to take revenge? Isn't it enough to kill your own daughter? I never knew you were such a cruel person. Tiger poison, even if you don't eat children, you are her mother. No matter how much you hate me, you can't kill her to get revenge on me just because I love her!"

Having said that, he couldn't restrain himself anymore, he stepped forward and grabbed her arms and shook them vigorously, and said with great pain: "Xinyan, she is not only my daughter, she is also your daughter... yes You are pregnant with your own flesh and blood born in October, how...how can you do it? Yes. Your goal has been achieved. Because of Yan'er's fall, I quit the court. Over the years, I have regretted it and felt so much pain. You ... are you satisfied?"

Cen Xinyan's complexion suddenly changed, and his heart trembled fiercely. Hearing his questioning voice, tears welled up in his eyes. He pressed his hand tightly to his slightly undulating chest, closed his eyes, and raised his eyes after a while, his voice trembling with pain , said: "I... cruel? Do you think I am willing to do this? If I hadn't lost my mind because of your betrayal at that time, how could I have done such a thing that I regret for the rest of my life? Yaner, she... is me My heart, my love for her will never be less than yours..." She regretted it, and since the moment she regained her senses, she regretted so much that she wanted to kill herself.

"But you pushed her off the cliff with your own hands... Xinyan, I really don't understand." He shook his head in grief, with incomprehensible resentment in his eyes.

With a wave of his arms, Cen Xinyan broke free from the restraint of his hands, took a few steps back, covered his lips and coughed lightly, tears kept falling and hit the wet ground, his voice became slightly choked by the choking in his throat. dull. "Of course you won't understand... No one in this world can understand what I have endured. I was originally the daughter of Cen Shilang's family in the Ministry of Rites of the Jin Dynasty. I grew up in the love of my parents. My mother was a feudal man, When I was 15 years old, I went to Fengguo with my mother to visit relatives. Because of my love for fun, I ran into a thief and was rescued by you. After the country, I ran into Jin Han who went deep into the people and observed the people's sentiments. Since then, he has repeatedly pestered me, trying to find all kinds of high-sounding names to call me into the palace and ask me to be his concubine. I thought that as the emperor of a country, he has three palaces and six courts, it is absolutely impossible to meet my request, but who knows, he actually promised to set up a harem for me and dismiss the existing concubines, but I still refused, and finally angered him , simply issued an imperial decree to seal me as queen. In desperation, I declared my will by death. My parents have always loved me like fate. Seeing that I am so persistent, they secretly arranged for me to leave the kingdom of Jin and go to seal the kingdom regardless of the crime of resisting the decree. Looking for you..."

Leng Chi has been listening quietly, he never knew her background, every time he asked, she would just prevaricate.It turned out that she came to him with this kind of mood, and stayed with him for 12 years. No wonder that in those years, although she lived happily, she often felt inexplicably sad.

Cen Xinyan took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and continued: "In 12 years, I changed my surname from Cen to Wu, which inevitably exposed my identity and caused side issues. I dare not even tell you, and even forced myself to forget my own. True identity. Until 12 years later, I don’t know where Jin Han found out my whereabouts, and secretly sent me a letter in the name of my parents, saying that my father was not in good health and wanted to see me for the last time, and asked me to go back alone. In order not to leak the news... That's why I left a letter saying that I was going back to my mother's house to visit relatives, and then I went back to the Kingdom of Jin alone. Who would have thought that... I would be taken into the palace of the Kingdom of Jin before I got home..."

Leng Chi felt a tightness in his heart, frowned, stepped forward unconsciously, and hurriedly asked: "Then...then..."

The look in Cen Xinyan's eyes was filled with hatred and pain, he couldn't control his chest and gasped, bit his lips hard, turned his head to look at the wall in the darkness, and said sadly: "He ignored the objections of the courtiers and set up an empty harem for me for 12 years. Unreconciled. Imprisoned me in his bedroom, he wanted to use force on me, thinking that if he took over my body, I would agree to be his queen... I used a trick to snatch his dagger, self-mutilation, and death. Keeping my innocence... For more than three months, I held a dagger in my hand and dared not sleep day and night... Whenever there was a disturbance, I was like a bird frightened by a bow, and I was in constant fear..." At this point, she was at a loss for words Voice.

"Xinyan..." Leng Chi called out heartbroken, but found that he didn't know what to say to her at all.He was ignorant of all the sufferings she had suffered, and he was really in vain as a husband. "I... didn't expect you to suffer so much..."

He wanted to go forward to comfort her, but saw her turn around suddenly, the hatred in her eyes was getting stronger and stronger, and there was still pain, which was an extremely sad pain that could not be expressed in words.Looking at his heartbroken eyes, she suddenly laughed out loud, and that laughter was so painful. "It's nothing. Do you think you can defeat me with just these things? Compared with everything I suffered later, this... is nothing?"

Leng Chi panicked, and hurriedly asked, "What else...?"

She took a deep breath, stood under the pale light, looked up, as if seeing her miserable life.He almost gritted his teeth, and said, "Jin Han... Seeing that I refused to compromise no matter what, he arrested all 130 or eight members of my Cen clan... all of them, and beheaded them, even the children. You know what? ? At that time... I was sitting on the execution bench, listening to them cursing at me, watching the bloody heads rolling on the ground, they opened their eyes wide, staring at me with resentment and resentment, the execution ground , Blood flowed like a river... However, this is not counted, Jin Han... let me watch my parents be executed by... Ling Chi, it is Ling Chi... Do you know what it feels like? You don't know... …No one who has not experienced it personally will understand what kind of suffering and pain it is. When I saw with my own eyes that the flesh of my parents was cut off piece by piece, and then thrown in front of me, the flesh and blood It is piled up vaguely... It seems to be accusing me of being unfilial as a child... And my heart is more than just a word 'pain' to describe it. It was me who killed them, because I... couldn't let go of myself That's why they died so miserably..." She paused, gasping for breath, closing her eyes, the scene of that day appeared in front of her eyes, and that bloody scene has always been something she couldn't get rid of all these years Nightmare, day and night.

Leng Chi felt suffocated, he couldn't imagine what a miserable scene it was.Jin Han is so cruel that if he can't get her, he will torture her and make her suffer for the rest of his life.His eyes were watery, because she paid such a painful price for loving him.

"Heart words..." Apart from calling her, he didn't know what else to say. How could a few words be able to comfort such pain, but he was the one who was least qualified to comfort her.Looking at her face without a trace of blood, the once soft beauty turned into condensation, tears fell like rain, but she laughed so hard that her whole body trembled, the extreme sadness had been accumulated in her heart for many years, and now she brought it up again, as if she had experienced it again.A mocking smile spread from the corners of his lips, and he murmured sadly: "But what did I get... I sacrificed my loved ones for love, what did I get? When I buried their bones with my own hands, holding the last trace When I came back to seek warmth, what I saw was my husband's wedding with another woman..."

Her chin was raised, but her eyes drooped slightly, just locking his eyes, and her eyes instantly became sharp and painful, she smiled bitterly, and said word by word: "Leng Chi, tell me...how can I get it?" Let me treat it rationally without pain or hatred?"

Leng Chi closed his eyes and suddenly didn't dare to look at her. In front of her like this, all reasons became pale and powerless.All that was left was a feeble "I'm sorry...".

This woman who has paid so much for him, what right does he have to hate her for so many years.Because of him, she endured the pain of killing her parents... Because of him, she became the murderer who killed her own daughter...

It was the parents who died in vain because of loving her, the daughter who was implicated innocently because of the collapse of her mind, the husband who gave everything but hurt her... In the end, it caused a lifetime of pain and regret for the rest of her life.

How did she spend these years?Hatred is probably the only reason for her to live.So she chose to stay by the side of the person she hated the most, seize power and revenge, and destroy the country.What was seized was the imperial power of the Kingdom of Jin, but what was destroyed was the country of the two countries of Jinfeng.

He walked towards her slowly, took her hand gently, but she pushed her away forcefully, took a step back, and said with a sneer, "Is it useful to say sorry? Can my Yan'er come back to life by saying sorry?" ?”

He hurriedly said: "Xinyan, Yan'er...is still alive." He didn't know about the battle in the martial arts conference.He has been recuperating at home, and then went directly to the battlefield, only hearing rumors spread in the army that King Chen jumped off a cliff for a woman, he has always been dubious.

Yan'er, still alive?Cen Xinyan only felt his body tremble, and looked at him in disbelief, seeing that his expression did not seem to be lying, but he still asked uncertainly: "You, what did you say?"

Leng Chi supported her shoulders, looked at her, his tone was very sad, but he said with certainty: "I said, Yan'er is still alive...our Yan'er, she is still alive, but all these years, she has eaten suffered a lot.”

Yan'er, is she really still alive?He shouldn't be talking nonsense about this kind of thing.She grabbed his arm excitedly, with tears in her eyes, and asked eagerly: "Is what you said true? Have you seen her? Are you sure it's her? Is she doing well? Is she Hate me very much? She will definitely hate me, how could she not hate..."

Leng Chi raised her hand and gently wiped her tears, just like the past 12 years, her gentle movements were full of tenderness, she stared blankly at his handsome face despite the vicissitudes of life, her mind flickered, those who were The happy memories she deliberately buried surged in, flooding all her thoughts.
