The chief eunuch of the imperial study room stood beside Shangguan Ziyan's desk. From time to time he peeked at Shangguan Ziyan who was reviewing, his mouth opening and closing, looking very hesitant.
Shangguan Ziyan suddenly stopped writing in his hand, looked at the chief eunuch with sharp evil eyes, and said lightly: "What's the matter?" Even though he had been reviewing the memorial, he did not let go of the chief eunuch.
He seemed to be hesitant to speak.
The chief eunuch knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said timidly: "I don't know whether to say something or not."
There was no trace of emotion in Shangguan Ziyan's evil eyes, and he said calmly: "Say."
The chief eunuch raised his head, hesitated for a moment and then said: "The war between Huihe country and our country has been going on for many days. The two countries have been fighting, but no one can defeat the other. As a result, the people of the two countries are living in dire straits. According to Nucai
Come on, this war could have been avoided. The king of Huihe is not a warlike person. He tore up the peace agreement between the two countries a few months ago for a reason." The war between the two countries is a very sensitive topic.
The more sensitive topic is that this war also involves a woman, a more sensitive woman, but the head eunuch risked his head to speak out about it.
"So what?" Shangguan Ziyan's charming eyes became colder and colder, and his charming face had the majesty of a king and the temptation of death. "This battle is for Nangong Mei. I will never give up to Mei Nangong this time."
Come and buy a humiliating peace!"
A few months ago, Nangong Mei, who was about to become the queen, was kidnapped in the Queen's Hall of Huihe Kingdom. Luo Si, the king of Huihe Kingdom, vented his anger on Xingyue Kingdom and vowed to Shangguan Ziyan.
If Nangong Mei is not handed over, the entire Xingze Kingdom will be destroyed.
At that time, Nangong Mei was not with Shangguan Ziyan. He was also desperately looking for Nangong Mei. Under such circumstances, the war was ignited. Without the God of War Luo Ming to command the battle, Huihe Country no longer looked like
It was as turbulent as before, and Xingze Kingdom took advantage of the armistice period to recover a lot, which resulted in the two countries being evenly matched, with no one defeating the other.
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the head eunuch. He understood clearly that his master wanted beauty rather than power! All the words of advice that had been in his heart for a long time were rotten in his stomach, and he did not dare to utter another word.
Speaking of Nangong Mei, Shangguan Ziyan had the desire to see Nangong Mei immediately. Even if he just looked at her cold face, his longing would no longer torture him so painfully.
Looking at the head eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground with evil eyes, Shangguan Ziyan asked lightly: "Is there anything else?"
The chief eunuch nodded and continued: "In the past few days, Miss Nangong will bring a lot of things to see Concubine Qin, and she has told Concubine Qin to take good care of the little prince. Her concern for the little prince..." The chief eunuch said
He looked at Shangguan Ziyan and stopped talking.
Shangguan Ziyan's eyes darkened, he held his chin with his slender fingers, and fell into deep thought. A few days ago, Nangong Mei wanted to kill Qin Huan, but now she was very concerned about Qin Huan, and she saw
When he looked at Qin Huan's belly, his eyes were so loving, like a mother looking at her child.
Nangong Mei's change was entirely due to the child in Qin Huan's belly! But why did her attitude towards Qin Huan change so much because of the arrival of this child? This is especially puzzling to Shangguan Ziyan!
If he wants to know everything, the best way is to ask Nangong Mei. He has actually wanted to ask Nangong Mei for a long time, but as an emperor who is omnipotent, he is timid. He does not have the courage to ask her. He will
Afraid, afraid that what he would hear would be an answer he could not accept.
The snowflakes in the sky were flying silently, and the goose-feather-like white petals fell gently on the snow-white fur shawl on her body. If it weren't for the long, dark and slightly curly hair, she would have even merged with the white snow.
There is no distinction between you and me.
There was tranquility on her beautiful face, and her dark eyes looked faintly at the ice water that died in the winter in the lake in front of her. She was just like this snowy day, so beautiful, so cold, and so lethargic.
No one can get close.
"Mei'er, why are you staying here in the snow and freezing again?!" Shangguan Ziyan, dressed in a light yellow dragon robe, silently appeared behind Nangong Mei, with a slightly reproachful tone filled with infinite love and concern.
.
Nangong Mei blinked her soul-stirring eyes gently, staring at the snow scene in front of her without any waves, and said softly: "The whiteness of the snow is the most worry-free."
Shangguan Ziyan's heart felt like being pricked by a sharp needle, and the pain suddenly stopped. There was deep sadness in his evil eyes, and his voice was low and painful: "Can you tell me something?
" Staring at her pale face, what he really hoped for at this moment was her ruthless rejection. There were some things he didn't want to know.
"Ask." Nangong Mei's eyes were still just looking at the lake of ice water in front of her quietly, with an expression so indifferent that no trace of emotion could be seen, or maybe she was just an empty shell without a soul at this moment.
"Mei'er..." Shangguan Ziyan's heart became quieter and quieter, and he could hear his breathing quietly. His outstretched hand kept hesitating in mid-air, never touching Nangong Mei's thin shoulders.
, but said in a very low voice, "Why do you care so much about Qin Huan's child?"
"Isn't this what you want to know?" Nangong Mei suddenly turned to look at Shangguan Ziyan, with a hint of unnoticeable sadness in her dark and tranquil eyes, "As you think, I once had a child."
Shangguan Ziyan's dark pupils seemed to have stopped turning at that moment, losing all life, surprise, and astonishment, and what was left in the end was endless sadness and pain.
Nangong Mei looked at Shangguan Ziyan quietly. Her eyes stayed on his gradually pale handsome face, but what she saw did not look like her. Her eyes seemed to have no focus at all. She just
I was immersed in my own world and could no longer see anyone in front of me.
Her distracted eyes looked so lively, peaceful and painful, and she said calmly: "He only belonged to me for two months, and he was brutally killed by me, his father. Haha...
I don't deserve to be a mother, and I never wanted him."
Shangguan Ziyan's handsome face seemed to be frozen by ice and snow, and his sadness could only be vaguely felt through the layer of frost. His slender hands hung weakly, and he kept looking at Nangong Mei for a long time before speaking with difficulty:
"Is the father of the child...Luo Ming?" Nangong Mei is Luo Ming's son. This is a fact that he has known for a long time, but it is so painful to really face their two children.
Things are so difficult to accept!
Nangong Mei nodded gently, her distracted eyes regained focus, and her pupils filled with a touch of sadness looked at Shangguan Ziyan's equally sad handsome face, and said: "I thought I only hated him, so
I hate the arrival of this child, but the departure of this child is like taking my heart away. I can't forgive myself for not protecting him!" She has always loved this child, that's how it is.
Deep love, but all this was blinded by hatred at the time, and she lost her child, this little life that was connected to her flesh and blood.
"It's because of love that people care so much about this child." Shangguan Ziyan looked at Nangong Mei painfully. This sentence was not spoken out, but it took root in his heart.
He always thought that as long as he worked hard and Nangong Mei stayed by his side, she would definitely fall in love with him again. After all, she once loved him so much! But all his cognitions and thoughts were at this moment.
At this moment, it was confirmed that this was just wishful thinking on his part!
Nangong Mei's love for Luo Ming has gone deep into her heart. These days, she has completely abandoned her past hatred and taken great care of Qin Huan. Her care for the unborn child is obvious to all. It exceeds the care for ordinary children.
Love is completely a kind of spiritual sustenance. She devoted all her longing for the child to that child.
Is this a joke played on him by God, or is it destiny? He fell in love with her but had no chance to stay with her. Now, he can't even find an excuse to keep her by his side.
"Mei'er..." Shangguan Ziyan called Nangong Mei's name extremely gently, gently held her in his arms, and whispered in her ear, "You said you would make it up to me, yes.
?"
Because the child's matter was mentioned again, Nangong Mei's heart felt so heavy. Her soul seemed to have separated from her body, and the body in his arms was just an unconscious body.
She didn't answer him, but her heart gradually became quiet, as quiet as death.
Shangguan Ziyan held Nangong Mei tightly in his arms for a long time before reluctantly letting him go. His evil eyes looked at the person he loved so much, and the corners of his sexy lips curved into a perfect smile, gentle.
He said: "Mei'er, can you dance for me? The last dance!"
Nangong Mei looked at Shangguan Ziyan in confusion. In his eyes, she felt the pain and reluctance of giving up her love, and said in confusion: "The last dance?" How much she wanted Shangguan Ziyan to let her
Go, but when she really felt that he was going to let her go, she became so uneasy.
"Don't you want to leave?" Shangguan Ziyan's moving eyes no longer showed any pain, and his smile was so beautiful and gentle, "I will let you leave after the Lantern Festival, okay?
My last request to you is a dance and a Lantern Festival."
Nangong Mei looked at Shangguan Ziyan in surprise, her heart beating violently, which actually diluted the deep pain in her heart. She looked at Shangguan Ziyan in disbelief and said, "Are you really willing to let me go?" Leave this place.
Only in this palace could she have her own life, and only then could she see the face she thought about day and night.
"If this is what you want." Shangguan Ziyan stretched out his slender fingers and gently stroked Nangong Mei's cold cheek, with endless love and reluctance in his dark eyes, "You are the only one I have ever loved.
Woman! I will always remember the days I spent with you, it is the best memory of my life!"
Nangong Mei's eyes were as bright as the stars, and there was mist in her eyes. It seemed that there was something stuck in her throat. She had a thousand words to say, but they only turned into three words: "I'm sorry."
