Li Palace's elegance shocked the world: the goddess is blessed

Chapter 67 Two Men Confronting
Jinlin Courtyard is located in the Houyuan of Anguo Hou. The courtyard is not big, but the trees are lush and the environment is pleasant!
Because Yuan Xiuyue is in the back seat, someone has been cleaning the place regularly. Although it has been two years now, there is no trace of barrenness!
In the courtyard, there are two rows of worry-free trees, colorful and fragrant, the branches and leaves are distributed, and the flourishing leaves are fluttering in the breeze, rattling!
Unsurprisingly, the Yuan family didn't send anyone over to take care of Yuan Xiuyue's daily life, so Ying had to temporarily abandon his martial arts and join the kitchen, and in the small kitchen in the backyard, he was busy making lunch by himself!

In the front hall, Yuan Xiuyue's pupils were red and swollen, and she was standing by the window, staring blankly at the worry-free tree that was about to bloom and was about to bloom, with a lot of thoughts in her heart!

Back then, because of that night, that extremely short but warm memory of her body and mind, after returning to Beijing, she planted these trees.Two years ago, when she entered the palace, these things hadn't yet reached the flowering stage. Now, two years have passed like a white horse, and the flower that is as bright as the sun blooms and withers, but she has never seen it before...

Like their namesake...

"Are you OK?"

Standing quietly behind Yuan Xiuyue for a long time, seeing her immersed in her own thoughts without saying a word, Nangong Xiao Ran finally couldn't help but sighed softly, and handed her a cup of hot tea with a worried face!
"What can I do?"

Suddenly, she regained her senses from deep thinking, raised her eyes to meet Nangong Xiaoran's concerned eyes, Yuan Xiuyue smiled bitterly, reached out to take the hot tea he handed over, sipped lightly, and pressed her lips tightly: "Everything is expected Among them, I have long been mentally prepared!"

"Sometimes, even if you are prepared for certain things, you will still feel uncomfortable when you face them!" Slowly, with a slight smile, Nangong Xiaoran frowned and pointed at her red eyes from crying, jokingly said : "Just like you are now!"

Smiling wryly at Nangong Xiao Ran, Yuan Xiuyue sighed deeply: "Don't you think, sometimes, it's better to know what you don't know?"

"Okay? I don't think so, but I do think..." Staring at her eyes, slightly deeper, Nangong Xiaoran crossed his arms and looked very hurt: "You girl is very vengeful, it seems that you are still alive." Get mad at me!"

Yuan Xiuyue frowned and asked, "Why did the lord make such a statement?"

"Then that... You still call me prince when you get here, don't you treat me as an outsider?!" Nangong Xiaoran couldn't help but sighed and rubbed her bun, his eyes were slightly moist, pointing at her with a smile. He warmly said: "You know what? At this moment, I would rather see you cry than you laugh..."

Because of Nangong Xiaoran's intimate behavior, Yuan Xiuyue's body leaning in front of the window couldn't help but froze slightly!
Without ever brushing his hand away, she raised her eyes slightly, staring at Nangong Xiaoran's elegant and handsome face, her tone was flat but full of helplessness: "It's not that I treat you as an outsider, but... when I entered the palace, Between you and me, we can never go back to the past!"

"Moon..."

Facing her eyes, but obviously feeling her resistance, Nangong Xiaoran withdrew his hand in embarrassment, his brows were lightly furrowed, his gaze traveled across the room, and finally met her again: "Here, never There is no Queen, and there is no King Ning, there are, just you and me!"

A smile gradually appeared in her eyes, Yuan Xiuyue lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then asked, "And then?"

"Then?"

With Yuan Xiuyue's smile deeply etched into his mind, Nangong Xiaoran's heart softened, he gently raised his hand, and he put his hand on her shoulder: "I know, you feel uncomfortable, if you want to cry right now, you can do it with all your heart." Cry, in front of me, you don't have to hold on!"

Hearing this, a warm current slowly flowed through Yuan Xiuyue's heart...

Although the bottom of her eyes was still gray, she covered her lips, coughed slightly, raised her hand to remove his hand, and then turned her head casually to look at the thriving worry-free tree outside the window: "Look at me like Are you holding on? I'm really fine!"

"Is it really okay?"

Helplessness flashed across the bottom of his eyes, Nangong Xiaoran's face darkened slightly, and he murmured softly: "It's fine..."

The corners of her mouth were still slightly curved, Yuan Xiuyue never looked back.

Looking at her slender figure with fixed eyebrows, Nangong Xiaoran thought for a while, before finally taking a step forward, standing beside her in front of the window, and said in a calm tone: "Yue'er... Do you still remember what I said on Mount Li? "

Heart suffocated slightly, Yuan Xiuyue suffocated for a moment, then nodded gently: "I remember!"

That day, he once told her that if possible, he would only be Xiao Ran to her alone!

However, no matter when she was the empress or now, the relationship between them, as she just said, can never go back to the past since she entered the palace!
Therefore, at the moment, all she can do is turn her head slightly, and whisper to him with a very calm expression: "To me, what happened that day is just a play, I will forget it, and you will also forget it." Don't worry too much!"

"Moon!"

Staring at her like a torch, Nangong Xiaoran couldn't help but said: "You should know, when I'm facing you, I'm not really acting!"

she knows!
Of course she knows!
It's just that she knows, so what can she do? !

Sighing secretly in the bottom of her heart, Yuan Xiuyue's lips slowly evoked a bitter smile!Instead of looking at him, she turned her head to look out of the window again, and said exhaustedly: "Sir, I am really tired today...very tired..."

Quietly, looking at her soft side face, Nangong Xiaoran's mind was dim, and his heart was inexplicably lost!

He doesn't know how inappropriate it is to talk about feelings with her in her current mood!

But, love it!
He just wants her to understand her heart, to let her know that she is not alone, and to let her know that no matter when it comes, he will silently guard her side!
That's all!

For a long period of time, neither Nangong Xiaoran nor Yuan Xiuyue spoke.

Quietly, time, the passage of minutes and seconds.

After a long silence, Yuan Xiuyue finally said leisurely: "I still have something to do, I need to ask sir for help!"

"you say!"

Hearing her call her husband again, Nangong Xiaoran's lips curled slightly, his eyes were as gentle as water.

Turning around, Yuan Xiuyue said to Nangong Xiaoran: "Please come into the palace, sir, and be sure to bring Ting Lan and me out!"

Sure enough, Nangong Xiaoran smiled gently at Yuan Xiuyue: "You should take a good rest first, I will enter the palace now, and I will definitely bring Ting Lan back to you before dark!"

He thought that bringing Ting Lan back to Lenggong was just a matter of little effort!

But after entering the palace, when he arrived at the cold palace, he realized why the world is unpredictable!

After Nangong Xiaoran entered the palace, he went straight to Lenggong.

However, when he arrived at the gate of the Leng Palace, he saw Ji Heng half bowed, standing outside the gate of the Leng Palace, looking towards where he was from afar!
When Ji Heng met his eyes, his eyes lit up, and he smiled instantly!

Seeing this, Nangong Xiao Ran frowned, turned around and was about to leave!

"His Royal Highness King Ning!"

Hastily calling out, Ji Heng rushed forward to greet Nangong Xiaoran with a smile: "My servant, please greet Your Highness!"

"Free gift!"

With a cold handsome face, looking down at Ji Heng in front of him, Nangong Xiaoran asked helplessly: "Isn't Chief Ji going out with the emperor? When did you return to the palace?"

Ji Heng smiled, and respectfully replied: "If you go back to Your Highness, the slave just returned to Beijing with Shengjia today, no more, no less, just returned to the palace for more than an hour!"

Gently, frowning, Nangong Xiaoran asked with a smile: "Director Ji has been exhausted all the way, why don't you take a good rest, why did you come to this cold palace?"

Ji Heng is Nangong Haoling's personal follower, and he has never left Nangong Haoling's side. Now that he is back, Nangong Haoling will naturally come back too. He is not surprised at all, but...what puzzles him is He and Yuan Xiuyue traveled on horseback all the way, and only returned to Beijing today. According to the time, Nangong Haoling should start the road later than them, but they also returned to Beijing today!
His heart turned slightly, thinking of a certain possibility, his eyes darkened slightly!
"It's not the slaves who are coming, it's the emperor who is here!"

Looking at Nangong Xiaoran's uncertain face, Ji Heng smiled again, and stretched out his hand towards the door of Lenggong: "My lord, please, the emperor is waiting for you inside!"

Hearing this, Nangong Xiaoran looked slightly cold.

Gently, twirling the jade flute in his hand, his face was slightly condensed, and he stepped into the cold palace.

He figured it out, the reason why Nangong Haoling appeared in the cold palace at this time was because he knew where Ting Lan was.
As soon as he entered the cold palace, Nangong Xiaoran saw Nangong Haoling who was dressed in bright yellow and was sitting leisurely on a rattan chair basking in the sun.

Concentrating slightly, he stepped forward slowly, and saluted respectfully: "Minister, see the emperor!"

"Ok!"

With a soft reply, Nangong Haoling sat up, his deep pupils narrowed slightly, and he said hoarsely, "Where is she?"

Staring closely at his eyes, Nangong Xiao Ran asked back with a smile: "Who is the emperor talking about?"

"Brother Wang, didn't you ask the question?" With a cool voice, Nangong Haoling played with the emerald ring on his thumb, and said bluntly: "I'm talking about my queen!"

Slightly raising his eyes, looking at Nangong Haoling's gloomy face, Nangong Xiaoran said in a low voice: "As far as I know, the emperor has abolished her!"

In the eyes, a stern look flashed past, staring at the outstanding Nangong Xiaoran in front of him for a moment, Nangong Haoling pulled his lips lightly, and smiled faintly: "It's useless, she is also my woman, her It's up to me to decide whether to stay or not, and I shouldn't have anything to do with Brother Wang!"

"If the minister said, it's the minister... who wants to have something to do with her?"

Lifting his eyes lightly, without any fear of the coldness in Nangong Hao's eyes, Nangong Xiaoran still smiled gently: "The emperor knows that I... like her!"

Hearing this, Nangong Haoling's face darkened suddenly, and his whole body turned cold!

"Isn't the emperor always worried that the minister will have disobedience?"

Taking a deep breath, Nangong Xiaoran still stared into Nangong Haoling's eyes fearlessly, and only said in a faint voice: "What is the country, I don't care about it at all. As long as I have her, I will immediately retreat, and I swear that I will live forever in my lifetime." Do not enter Beijing!"
