Charming beauty

"What you said is true?"

The wind blows in from the window, and the slender hanging leaves of the hanging fairy orchid in the corner of the wall are blown slowly, sifting out the purple clothes that look like spots of sunlight.

Nalan Mei was sitting by the window, her face was dazed in the broken golden sunlight, he rested his elbows on his forehead, the indescribable paleness and exhaustion between his beautiful brows, in the transparent light, his voice could be heard like a shadow Ru Wu: "It's true that nothing happened?"

Not knowing what he was thinking, he hesitated, Xiu slightly closed his eyes, and finally nodded.

The long eyelashes were lifted slightly, and the slender fingers slid down the sleeves, the fingertips were as light as a fairy, "Xiu, when did you learn to lie?"

Xiu's figure froze for a moment, lowered his eyebrows and said quietly, "...Young Master has learned from you, what this subordinate said is true."

"yes?……"

The gloomy glance was as deep as the sea, and the eyes were like ink. Nalan Mei looked at Xiu quietly, and the insight as if he wanted to see through people sent chills down Xiu's back, but he still tensed his back and died. Shi insisted: "The young master is a lesson."

Nalan Mei raised her eyebrows slightly, her brows were watery, "Ask again, is it true that nothing happened?"

Xiu lowered his eyes, "...No."

Nalan Mei looked at him for a while, then suddenly sighed, and smiled wryly, with some helplessness in her smile, "I know it's for my own good that you hide it from me, but you have to understand that I can't be negligent towards Ban'er, so, I I hope you can tell everything." After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiu, but Xiu still lowered his head, still not intending to speak, he sighed, feeling powerless, "Since you don't want to say it, I can't force you , after you go back, sort out the movements of all the officials since I left, and send them to the Huguo Mansion tomorrow."

"Yes." Xiuwei frowned slightly, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"You go back to the palace first."

"Yes."

In response, Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at Nalan Mei. He was looking out of the window with his chin resting on his shoulders. His eyes were filled with a kind of darkness, as deep as an abyss, as if all the pain was contained in it, so rich that people couldn't see through it... Thinking of this , Xiu felt a deep pain in his heart in vain. He followed the person in front of him for more than ten years, but he still didn't know what was buried in those eyes, and he didn't know how much pain and bitterness was hidden behind that bland smile.His young master is both civil and military, proficient in metaphysics, but he has never learned to think about himself, let alone understand that while he is doing his best to take care of others, he himself needs to be taken care of...

So, this time, let him be selfish. In his heart, there is nothing more important than the young master... Thinking, he bowed his head seriously, respectfully and apologetically, got up and left with the concealed truth.

Until Xiu's back disappeared outside the door, Nalan Meiyou closed his eyes. A feeling of powerlessness made him feel very tired. He rubbed the center of his brows, trying to make himself more energetic, but he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier. , A voice pulled him back to his sanity, he raised his eyes slightly, and a shadow appeared in the room.

Yi was dressed in black and knelt on one knee: "Young master."

"Did you find out?" Nalan Mei looked at him, suppressed the weakness in her voice, and said slowly, "I've given you enough time." He knew Xiu, so he guessed that Xiu Ding would not tell the truth However, the purpose of his recruiting Xiu to leave the palace is also to let Yi pretend to be Xiu, so that he can conduct in-depth investigations in the palace.

"I want to know what happened to Wu'er during the time I was away?"

Yi lowered his eyes, hesitating, but still with a low voice, he slowly told everything he had investigated, starting from the day of his wedding, among them Yong Duwan's laughter and laughter when he was playing, pure and innocent; The cruelty, cold-blooded and ruthless at the time; the joy when the child arrives instantly degenerates into the helpless loneliness of despair; moreover, the dejected feeling when the prince accepts the side concubine and stays alone in the vacant room...

In the process of narrating, Yi intentionally or unintentionally skipped over the reason why the child almost had a miscarriage. He just said that Yue Duyu was depressed and lacked energy and blood, which caused the child to almost have a miscarriage. When Du Tou left Yuedu Yin to stay overnight in Xia Yuan, those slender and crystal clear palms clenched tightly.

镹er...

He was the one who killed Wu'er!The heart-piercing pain suddenly came from his chest, and the strong bloody smell surged up, and he didn't catch it in one breath. Accompanied by the sweet taste in his mouth, he coughed violently, and the tearing pain in his chest made him turn pale. The unhealed internal injury made his breathing disorder, and cold sweat broke out immediately.

"Young master!" Yi's face turned pale, he quickly got up to support him, stretched out his hand to send the inner energy into his body, with a worried face, "Young master, your injury has not healed, pay attention to your body."

Nalan Mei shook her head, indicating that he was not in the way, and was about to say something when she heard the sound of chaotic running footsteps outside the door, Nalan Mei paused, glanced at Yi, Yi looked at him, and then at the door. Outside, the first point disappeared into the room.

The next moment, the figure of a young girl stopped at the door in vain, perhaps because she was too eager, running too fast, stopping too suddenly, her foot only slightly hit the threshold, and the girl's body suddenly fell forward, Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, a slender hand gently grabbed her arm and pulled her off the ground, and she fell into the man's arms with all her strength.

Familiar, faint, clear spring aroma.

The girl raised her head, her face was delicate, there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, her cheeks were flushed after running, her pink belt was also slightly messy, she was out of breath, her chest was heaving violently, she stared at Nalan Mei intently, there was something in her eyes Congratulations, surprises, worries, and pity.She opened her mouth to call him, cautiously: "Brother Mei?..."

With a soft smile on the corner of her mouth, Nalan Mei gently pulled her up, her eyes were like morning stars, and she asked softly, "What's the matter, Yi'er? What happened in such a hurry?" Yi shook her head intuitively , just looking at him, the thousands of words after seeing him for a long time seemed to be stuck in his throat, and it took a long time before he turned into a smile, and said distressedly, "Brother Mei, you have lost weight."

"Really?" Nalan Mei smiled, "If you lose weight, you will gain weight again."

Yi watched him smile, the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously, and there was a touch of sweetness in her smile.Nalan Mei stared at her, and asked softly, "What's the matter with Yi'er coming here?"

"...It's okay." Yi shook her head slightly, raised her eyes to look at him, two faint blushes appeared on her white cheeks, and said a little shyly: "I heard that Brother Mei has returned home, so I want to see Brother Mei... "

"Brother Mei, can you walk with Yi'er?"

Nalan Mei smiled, and naturally agreed, but pointed to the elegant and elegant purple court dress with his slender fingers, "I'll change into clothes first."

The door closed slowly, Nalan Mei leaned against the door, stretched out her hand to press on her chest, with a movement of her lips, bright red blood slid into the collar along the corner of her mouth and jaw, staining his graceful neck red, he panted slightly, his chest hurt to the extreme , and even a blank dizziness appeared in his mind, he gritted his teeth, and stretched out his hand to touch a few embarrassing places for himself, to suppress the blood churning inside, although it was only temporary, but it was enough to support until Yi'er left.

He closed his eyes, secretly laughing that the injury this time was really not ordinary, I don't know who that person is... Nalan Mei's figure froze suddenly, the dark eyes darkened a little, and there was an untouchable sadness inside.

I don't know if that person's injury is better now? ...

Will they... meet again? ...

A bitterness welled up in her heart, Nalan Mei shook her head and smiled dejectedly.They probably won't meet again, after all, there is no relationship between them anymore, that person is only something he wants to forget now, and must forget...

some stranger...

The breeze is gentle, and the sun is like gold.

Two shadows stretched obliquely on the stone road, Nalan Mei and Yi strolled in the back garden, the head-on breeze blew their hair and clothes, occasionally intertwined and overlapped, and then quietly separated after overlapping.In the wind, there was Yi's laughter, and Nalan Mei's whispers from time to time, his mouth was slightly raised and his smile was as gentle as the breeze.

Yi walked beside Nalan Mei, peeking at the people around him from time to time. He was much thinner than before, and looked particularly slender, as frivolous as a cloud, as if a gust of wind could easily take him away, and his face was also bloodless. Pale, the brows are always filled with gentleness, even though he is still gentle and quiet at this time, he still can't cover up the erratic blur.

is what happened?

"Brother Mei, can you tell me about the experience of the past few months?" She tilted her head and asked him, "It must be very exciting, right?"

Nalan Mei smiled when she heard the words, she was noncommittal, but asked softly, "Then what does Yi'er know?"

"Can't you tell me one by one?"

Nalan smiled charmingly, "There have been a lot of things that happened in the past few months. If you talk about them one by one, you may not be able to finish talking about them for several days."

"Is that so..." Yiwei frowned, thought for a long time, blinked her bright eyes, and suddenly remembered something, a bright smile appeared on her cheeks, "Brother Mei, just talk about the martial arts leader, okay?"

Murong You? ... Hearing this, Nalan Mei was slightly taken aback, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He looked down at her with doubts in his eyes, "Why do you want to know him?"

"Because, after Brother Mei left Jinyang, there were many rumors around Jinyang City from time to time, the most of which were about Brother Mei and the leader of the martial arts. The degree of sleeping together..." She looked back at him, not noticing the strange look on his face when she heard her say "sleeping together", and continued, "There are rumors in the world that this leader is cold-hearted , cruel and bloodthirsty, killing people like hemp, he is not a good person at all, brother Mei, in fact, these rumors are all false, right?"

"How do you know it's fake? Maybe it's true."

Yi smiled lightly, "If the leader is really as rumored, with Brother Mei's character, he would not get close to that kind of person, let alone share a bed with him, Brother Mei, is Yi'er right? ?”

Stretching out her hand to rub her hair as usual, Nalan Mei smiled softly, "He's not a bad person."

Yi looked at him quietly, and for a moment, she actually read a strange feeling in his eyes, soft, helpless, bitter, and profound... She suddenly trembled, and a thought came to him without warning. In her heart, a terrible moment enveloped her, could it be...

"Yi'er?" Seeing her distraction, Nalan Mei called out to her, "What's wrong?"

"No..., it's nothing..." She shook her head hastily, quickly put aside the reverie in her head, and secretly laughed at her own wild thoughts. Such a thing... how is it possible? ...Absolutely impossible, absolutely!

"Brother Mei, let's not talk about this anymore. I recently learned a new piece of music. Listen to me playing the piano, okay?" She reached out to hold his hand. His palm was long and slender, but his fingers were as cold as ice. The strangeness in the palm, she opened his palm without thinking.

The crystal clear palm seemed to be cut by a sharp knife, and a wound was neatly split in the palm of the hand. From the size of the split, it was not difficult to guess how much blood the wound had bled at that time. How painful it would be to hold each other together!

"Brother Mei, your hand..."

"It's okay." Nalan Mei withdrew her hand calmly, and retracted her sleeves as if nothing had happened, "It's just a small injury, it's nothing serious." Compared with the damage he caused to that person, this small injury is nothing at all. Nothing.

Yi covered the worry in her eyes and said, "Brother Mei, how long will you stay in Jinyang this time?"

How long will you stay?Nalan raised his eyes and looked towards the sky. The clouds in the sky were thin and the sun was so strong that people couldn't open their eyes. But he still looked up stubbornly, and his voice was like a dream, "I don't know how long I will stay..."

Maybe, it will be a lifetime...

She was deeply shocked by the loneliness and emptiness in his eyes, and her heart tightened, "Brother Mei, I..."

"Master National Teacher!"

A sudden voice interrupted her, and when she looked sideways, she saw a man dressed as a servant running over in a hurry, with a respectful and eager tone: "My lord, Your Majesty has an order to urgently invite the national teacher into the palace." !"
