Chapter 384 Crisis, New Mission

Nangong Xuan who was standing in the yard was often sighing and lost in thought, but Ji Qingxue didn't bother him.

She didn't ask why he suddenly summoned her today, she just thought it was because she was kind-hearted, and stood with a lonely old man for a while.

"Yan'er hates me, right?"

Nangong Xuan opened his mouth suddenly, causing Ji Qingxue behind him to roll his eyes.

"If such a thing was placed on you, would you choose to forgive?" Ji Qingxue asked back.

There is no empathy in this world, and they may not understand what Nan Gongyan has endured, but Ji Qingxue has seen his pain, so knowing not to mention it is the greatest comfort.

She didn't know why Nangong Xuan suddenly asked such a question, maybe he felt remorse, but a mistake is a mistake, and it may not be so easy to turn around.

Nangong Xuan's eyes stayed on the dead plum tree. For the throne, his hands were covered with blood, step by step he turned himself into the most despicable person he ever was.

Just like what Chu Yushang once said, the imperial palace is really only suitable for raising monsters.

Nangong Xuan didn't answer Ji Qingxue's question, and it took him a long time to realize that he asked a useless question.

"You go. Someone will take you back."

Nangong Xuan's temper has always been moody, and he would send someone to call her into the palace when he got excited, and send her back when he lost his interest.

This emperor has always had such a temperament of coming and going as soon as he is called, and Ji Qingxue has long been accustomed to it.

Before leaving, Ji Qingxue looked back at the old man who was still standing under the tree in a daze and said, "Qingxue sincerely hopes that Father will live a long and healthy life."

Nangong Xuan's figure moved, and an old voice suddenly sounded: "I have prepared a gift for the child in your womb."

Ji Qingxue thanked and left, Nangong Xuan raised his hand and stroked the tree trunk: "Longevity and health, now that I know you are still alive, I naturally want to live longer."

Otherwise, who are you going to take revenge on?

The sky is gray and the rain is coming.

Eunuch Li sent Ji Qingxue to the gate of the palace, the carriage of Prince Rui's Mansion barely stopped in front of him, Nan Gongyan got out of the carriage wearing a black robe, with a slightly imperceptible anxious expression on his face.

Nan Gongyan jumped out of the carriage, and walked up to Ji Qingxue in three steps at a time. He looked her up and down: "Axue, are you alright?"

Ji Qingxue held a sandalwood box in her arms, she said in a daze, "Why are you here?"

He waited for her not to come back at home, and waited for her not to come back. He couldn't sit still at all, so he had to walk around the palace by himself.

"What is that in your hand?"

"Gift."

Nangongyan smiled, and his heart fell to the ground: "Then let's go home, it's going to rain again, you don't need to wear anything today, so don't catch a cold."

Eunuch Li said next to him: "My lord, I will break my promise as a slave, but I returned the good princess to you."

Nan Gongyan glanced at him indifferently: "You should be thankful. Otherwise, even if you are the father's person, you would not stand here and talk to the king properly now."

Ji Qingxue and Nan Gongyan got into the carriage, Eunuch Li watched them leave before returning to his command.

Jun Si Dian.

"They're back?" Nangong Xuan brushed off the fallen leaves on the stone bench and sat down.

Eunuch Li bowed his head: "Your majesty's predictions were right, the prince really came to the gate of the palace to pick up the concubine himself."

Nangong Xuan smiled lightly and shook his head, because that son doesn't trust him at all now.

"Old man, I can always see the shadows of me and Yushang when I was young in them. Do you think they will repeat our mistakes?"

Nangong Xuan didn't look at him, it seemed to be asking Li Eunuch, but in fact it was more like asking himself.

Eunuch Li thought for a while and said, "I don't think so."

"Why?"

"Because the prince is not the emperor of the past, and the concubine is not the concubine of the past."

These words were already considered treasonous, but Nangong Xuan did not get angry.

"hope so."

I hope they won't follow my old path, I hope they will really trust each other no matter what.

After all, there are too many involuntary things in this world. You think you have changed everything, but when you look back, you find that you have already fallen into the muddy swamp.

Yan'er, when you have more opportunities to choose, maybe you can understand me.

In the carriage, Ji Qingxue was staring at the sandalwood box in a daze. Nan Gongyan asked, "What's in this box?"

Ji Qingxue replied honestly: "I haven't opened it either, this is a gift from your father to our child."

Nan Gongyan frowned even more when he heard that it was a gift from him, and even grabbed the box and put it far away.

"Who knows what he's thinking, it's better to be careful."

Nan Gongyan will never forget how ruthless his father was, and he was the one who cut off his last bit of family affection.

Ji Qingxue raised her hand and stroked his frowning brows over and over again: "I know you don't like him, but promise me, never use other people's mistakes to punish yourself."

Nan Gongyan knew what she meant, so he gently held Ji Qingxue's catkin: "I don't hate him, but I won't forgive him either."

The recent weather in Kyoto has always been like a girl. If you say you turn your back, you turn your back. One moment the weather is clear and cloudless, and the next moment, the clouds roll over and thunder bursts.

Suddenly it rained heavily, making the sky in the whole of Kyoto dark and dull.

Yun'er was holding an umbrella at the gate of the mansion, the elder sister and the prince had gone into the palace and didn't know if they came back.

In the huge rain curtain, Yun'er saw the person standing across the street.

In the same tavern, the tall and straight figure at the door caught her eyes unexpectedly.

The two stood there silently, relatively speechless, and neither of them took a step forward.

The water from the eaves soaked most of Mu Qing's clothes, Yun'er couldn't bear it, if she continued to fall like this, she would catch a cold and get sick.

But Mu Qing seemed to have taken root in the soles of her feet, she just stood there and did not move, staring at her with a stern face, as if she was looking at her prey.

After standing for a long while, Yun'er finally put away her umbrella and went into the mansion, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Mu Qing's mouth.

Just seeing you like this is enough, really.

Not long after, someone walked up to Mu Qing's side, and he deliberately lowered his voice: "Yuenu, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Mu Qing had a cold breath all over his body, he said coldly: "I don't want to see you."

"Anyway, we were trained together, and you are the most ruthless among brothers and sisters."

"Hmph, you're talking about feelings with a hidden guard, I misheard, or you have something wrong with your brain."

Xing Nu twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's really a bad temper as always, but this time I'm here to pass on the master's order."

"Say." Saying one more word is a waste.

"At all costs, get rid of the child in Ji Qingxue's belly."
