After the melted snow, the water bottom hit the palm-sized leaves, making a muffled sound that was very uncomfortable.
Nangong Hongyan did not enjoy the flowers with the beautiful ladies, but sat in the pavilion to rest.
She felt very uneasy.
It was as if someone was always looking at her from behind.
She forgot when this feeling started.
She only knew that this feeling of being peeped on was really disgusting!
Nangong Hongyan was so lost in thought that she didn't pay attention to her surroundings. Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation in her ears.
"Just keep looking at her..."
Who is it!
Nangong Hongyan froze and turned around suddenly. The plum blossoms were still blooming vigorously, and the white snow looked shiny under the moonlight, but there was nothing there.
Could it be that I heard it wrong?
Nangong Hongyan changed her position and leaned her back on the stone table.
She thought that if she sat like this, there would be no chance of being spied on.
It's just... She lowered her head and pressed her aching wrist, her eyes dimming a little.
In order not to show her weakness in front of everyone, she has been holding back like this.
But it seemed to be getting more and more painful.
Nangong Hongyan stood up, cold sweat overflowing on the tip of her nose, and her mouth covered with light pink lipstick looked very pale.
Someone was calling her in the distance. It was other show girls asking her to pick flowers.
She shook her hand and said, regardless of whether the other party heard her or not, "You go ahead, I'll sit here for a while."
Seeing that she looked very tired, the show girls did not force her any further. They only wanted to have a relationship with His Highness Seventh, and the same was true for Nangong Rui'er.
She hid in a deserted place, gritted her teeth and pulled up the cuffs of her sleeves. Not only her wrists, but also her forearms were covered in disgusting spots. No wonder it hurt so much!
Nangong Hongyan also asked the imperial doctor that this kind of spots is called "snake disc sore".
As the name suggests, it is like a snake coiled around the patient's body.
However, this disease mostly occurs in the abdomen and waist, and I have never heard of it growing on the hands.
The spots were smeared with plaster taken from the imperial physician. The spots were white, and the concoction applied was black. Some of the thick liquid flowed out and mixed together, making people feel like they were retching.
Nangong Hongyan didn't want to take a second look and put down her sleeves again.
You cannot tell anyone about this kind of illness, not even your mother.
My mother originally loved her sister the most. If she knew that she had this strange disease, I don’t know how she would look at me...
Nangong Hongyan leaned against the stone pillar and kept grabbing her forearm. There was pain and itching there, which was very torturous.
She was extremely tired and no longer as aggressive as before. She only felt that her eyelids were very heavy.
But the uneasiness in her heart told her that she couldn't sleep.
So Nangong Hongyan shook his head and wanted to find the beautiful ladies who had just admired the flowers.
The palace is very big, so finding people is not an easy task.
I don't know if it's my misunderstanding.
She always felt something coming from behind her.
Ta, da, da...
It's footsteps!
She stopped immediately and pressed her fingers on the whip at her waist.
She suddenly remembered that when she was very young, the old people once said that you should not walk alone at night, especially if you are a young person... you will encounter dirty things...
Such thoughts made Nangong Hongyan's heart start to feel hairy, and the back of her neck felt chilly, as if someone was breathing on her.
Nangong Hongyan swallowed her saliva and did not look back.
Although she has never learned magic, she is from Nangongyuan after all, so she knows something.
There are three protective lamps on the human body.
One left, one right, one behind.
As long as you look straight ahead when walking at night and don't turn your head no matter what you hear, you can turn danger into good luck!
Thinking of this, she tightened her whip again and strode forward quickly.
Finally...just when she was about to reach the light.
A wooden stick stood up from behind her.
Then, I just heard a bang!
Nangong Hongyan tilted her head and slid softly to the ground...
The blood dripped from the stick and onto the shoe.
The man first looked around, then threw the wooden stick into the river, bent down, grabbed Nangong Hongyan's back collar, and dragged him into the dark place...
…
The plan was very good, and he also thought of many ways to severely humiliate the daughter of the Nangong family.
But before he could take action, he heard a colleague calling his name not far away.
He had no choice but to hide the person first, and then entered the south study room as if nothing had happened...
"Everyone is here?" Nangong Baiye raised a nice eyebrow and looked at the three little eunuchs in front of him with a smile.
The little eunuchs looked at me and I looked at you. They all looked at each other in confusion as if they didn't know what was going on.
Nangong Baiye was not in a hurry, and just took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "I think this thing should be familiar to you, right?"
The little eunuchs looked confused. Isn't this the death notice paper money taken from the emperor's memorial?
Nangong Baiye's eyes glanced across their faces like daggers: "Today I found out a piece of news. Just fifteen years ago, the Ye family sent a boy to the palace. That boy was Ye Mei's younger brother, named Ye
Huan. Fifteen years have passed, and maybe even he himself has forgotten what his real name is, but I believe there are some things that he can't forget, such as blood is thicker than water, and... humiliating sister
Revenge." At this point, she suddenly stopped next to a young eunuch.
The little eunuch blinked his eyes, full of confusion.
That's not it!
Nangong Baiye tightened his fingers and continued: "This boy is a bastard. Back then, the Ye family's business was miserable, so he was sold to the palace. At that time, Ye Mei's eyes were swollen from crying, but she still couldn't bring her the best.
Keep this beloved brother."
The second little eunuch touched the back of his head.
Not this one either?
Nangong Baiye narrowed his eyes: "Childhood memories are often the most profound. Three years ago, Ye Mei came to Beijing, firstly for business, and secondly because she wanted to see if her brother was doing well in the palace...
…”
The third little eunuch had the same dull expression as the previous two.
But Eunuch Sun laughed: "Miss Bai Ye, you asked our family to call these little brats here just to tell them stories?" After that, he said to his apprentice: "Xiao Xizi, go,
Bring us some snacks."
After giving the instructions, he realized that this apprentice was no longer as clever as usual, and couldn't help but shout again: "Xiao Xizi!"
"Yes!" Xiao Xizi laughed, very endearingly: "Disciple, I'll go right away."
With that said, he walked towards the door.
"Wait a moment!"
The air was stagnant for a moment.
Nangong Baiye walked around to him, his eyes smiling: "Get me some too."
"Yes." Xiao Xizi's stiff hands relaxed and she was about to take a step...
