Nangong Baiye's chest tightened slightly, and his eyes were very long, as if he was looking through her at people from long ago.
Nangong Baiye knew that the person he missed was probably his former self.
So obvious and depressing.
It’s just that Nangong Baiye can’t understand.
Yes, she can't understand.
When a person lives his whole life and loses his memory, it means starting over.
She didn't want to hurt him, but she just couldn't accept him.
Whether it was physically or emotionally, she could only regard him as a devil who had made a contract with her, nothing more.
Nangong Baiye withdrew her eyes from him, reached out and pushed his arms away, keeping the distance between the two of them, and walked forward.
Beiming Liancheng stood in the darkness of heavy snow, as the strong wind roared by, picking up his fluttering fur cloak, and remained motionless for a long time in the distance...
Behind him is the fading sunset, red and eye-catching.
None of the guards serving around him dared to step forward. They only looked at the tall back, standing aloof in front of the Xuanwu Gate, as silent as the night.
After a while, he started pacing, his figure flashing slightly, and his movements were so fast that only a faint shadow could be seen...
In the distance, Nangong Baiye has reached his destination, half-hidden behind the stone wall, listening to the conversation inside, his eyes bright.
"Physician Huang, I say it again, get out of the way!" Nangong Rongguang's voice sounded cold, with a unique sense of oppression.
The imperial doctor hesitated and said: "Young Master, Wei Chen is just a doctor who treats patients. Don't embarrass Wei Chen. The Seventh Prince came down just now, and His Majesty didn't even allow him to enter the Chaoyang Palace. Wei Chen is also very difficult to do...
….”
Chaoyang Palace?
Nangong Baiye narrowed his eyes, glanced at the heavily guarded palace, turned around and disappeared into the dusk.
Nangong Rongguang was still dealing with the imperial doctor, but an eerie hissing sound was heard in the palace. The evil dragon licked the corners of his lips with a smile, and his strange expression made people unable to figure out what he was thinking.
A black shadow circled from the grass, with his head lowered, and his hoarse voice was like a poisonous snake spitting out a message: "It seems that if we don't let the emperor out, the people in Nangongyuan will become suspicious."
"It doesn't matter." Nielong laughed, with viciousness in his bones: "Anyway, you have broken through the seal, and it won't be of much use whether or not you have the emperor as a puppet."
The black shadow bent over and looked very small: "Even so, we have to be careful. The adult is about to be born. We can't make any more mistakes. Only by stabilizing the current situation can the plan go smoothly."
"I understand." Nielong stretched out his hand and stroked his lower abdomen with a gloomy smile: "Don't worry, I already have a way. I just need to do something to distract their attention..." As she said that, she twisted
Turning his head, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. Sometimes, the Onmyoji who has gone bad is scarier than anyone else...
Sunset, Qufu.
Qu Chuxiao woke up from her sleep dripping with cold sweat, looked at the beams of the house with fear, and shouted loudly: "Here comes someone!"
The personal maid hurriedly walked in: "Miss, I'm here."
Qu Chuxiao forced herself not to think about the dream she just had, and looked back and forth in the room with her mouth dry, but she could not see Nangong Rongguang's figure.
She stood up from the bed irritably, put on her embroidered shoes, and walked to the window with her hands slightly tight.
The maid hurriedly followed and put on a bright red cloak for her.
Qu Chuxiao looked out the window, her eyes darkened slightly, she had a dream, in which Nangong Baiye found out everything she had done back then, and told the world...
It seems that she should not have kept the demon girl from the beginning.
I should have killed the person directly, and there wouldn't have been so many things later.
Even now, that woman still holds an extraordinary position in Nangong Rongguang's mind.
Childhood sweethearts, ha.
Since she can snatch Nangong Rongguang away, she can shut up the devil girl forever...
Qu Chuxiao lowered his head and looked at his smooth arms.
What puzzled her was that her demonic mark had disappeared.
The unprecedented sense of relief made her happy for a while, so she didn't worry about the devil girl.
Now that I think about it, no matter how stable her current position is.
As long as the Demon Lady is alive, it is very likely that Nangong Rongguang will be taken away from her...
Qu Chuxiao's hands hidden under her wide sleeves clenched tightly for a moment, and then let go.
She still didn't do enough.
We must let the devil girl have self-awareness and clearly understand what she is!
Qu Chu's eyes turned and he looked sideways at the maid standing beside him: "I heard that recently, the family has been making arrangements for Brother Luo to get a wife."
"Yes, miss." The maid replied softly: "There are people coming to the main house every day, it's so lively."
Hearing this, Qu Chu laughed slightly: "Are there any aunts or others who would like it?"
"There is a nice young lady who has been with Madam these two days." The maid answered carefully.
Qu Chu's thin lips curled up slightly: "We went to meet this young lady. We have been here for two days and we haven't asked her to have tea yet."
"Yes." The maid lowered her eyes.
Qu Chuxiao turned his back and laughed, with a sinister blackness under his eyelids...
At night, Chang'an Street is crowded with people. Except for the dark and deserted Rosemary Tower, the surrounding inns and teahouses are overcrowded.
At this hour, it is the most lively time in the capital. Whether it is the scholars who come to Beijing to study hard or the people in the world, they will go out to stroll the long alleys, eat and write at this time.
As soon as Nangong Baiye came out of the palace, he went straight to the teahouse.
It's different from when I went there. There's no one around, so it's a bit awkward.
Even the Demon Lady is asking: "Why don't you see the Seventh Palace?"
Nangong Baiye took the abacus in her hand and dialed it twice casually.
Seeing her like this, the Demon Lady didn't say anything. She just handed the account book on the counter to the tea waiter, found a seat by the window in the hall and sat down, and poured a cup of tea for Nangong Baiye with bare hands.
Nangong Baiye had just taken a sip when he heard a familiar voice coming from the other side of the counter: "Call your boss over."
The devil girl poured the tea with her fingers slightly, and glanced at Nangong Baiye with a faint expression: "You drink tea first, I will go and take a look."
Nangong Baiye hummed, holding the tea bowl with his fingers, looking at Qu Chuxiao standing in front of the counter, frowning slightly.
Qu Chuxiao, however, seemed not to have seen her gaze. His face was surrounded by white sand, and he said in a soft voice: "Sister Mo, it's great that you are here. I brought my friends here today just because I want to be with you."
Have a few cups of tea. This friend of mine rarely goes out and has never been to this tea shop. You can introduce some special tea to us."
"Miss Qu, there's no need to be so polite. I'm not picky about tea, so Biluochun is fine." The woman following Qu Chu was wearing a well-crafted navy blue dress with a mink fur cape. It was not difficult to tell her origin.
Qu Chu smiled sweetly, pulled her hand over and put it in his palm: "Sister Lipo, what are you talking about? You are the one that Brother Luo likes. When I came here, my aunt told me to let you
I take good care of you. Although the tea in this tea shop is good, it is also divided into first, second and third grades. How can a woman with such talent, talent and appearance like Sister Lipo be so casual."
The Demon Lady was smart, and when she heard this, she also understood the purpose of Qu Chuxiao's visit. She leaned lazily against the counter, her long curly hair hanging straight down to her legs, her long skirt like fire, and her lining
Her eyebrows are more refined and colder.
Li Po seemed to have known her for a long time. He raised his head and smiled at Demon Niang, then looked at Qu Chuxiao, with a bit of shyness on his face: "Master Luo and I have only just met..."
"Sister Lipo, you are bluffing again." Qu Chuxiao said softly: Brother Luo, he has been a bohemian since he was a child. I have never seen him be so interested in anyone, and Auntie and the others are also interested in him.
You are so popular, how could we have a friendship like we have known each other for a few days..."
Nangong Baiye paused while drinking tea, and looked at the smiling devil girl. His chest tightened suddenly, and he felt a little aching from the empty space.
She is still the same.
Even if you feel uncomfortable, pretend you don't care.
Just like a queen standing on the battlefield, she will smile brilliantly no matter where she is, without showing a trace of weakness.
Perhaps, no one can know except yourself.
She is the most lonely when she smiles...
"Two young ladies." Nangong Baiye walked over and put his hand on the Demon Girl's shoulder with a smile: "If you want to talk about your parents' problems, you can go home and talk."
Qu Chuxiao turned his eyes and smiled softly: "Sister Bai Ye, you are all the ones who open the door to do business. It is not good to drive away the guests who come to drink tea. After all, we have paid money."
"Have you paid the money?" Nangong Baiye chuckled, turned to the tea waiter and told the waiter: "Return the money to this young lady, and by the way, go and put up a sign outside and write: (This restaurant does not welcome any members of the Qu family)
These few words."
Hearing this, Qu Chu's stingy and beautiful little face was somewhat unnaturally distorted. She looked at Nangong Baiye, trying not to let her anger show, she only curled her thin lips and opened her big innocent eyes: "
Sister Bai Ye, how could you go so far!"
"Miss Qu." Nangong Baiye clasped his fingers on the account book and smiled handsomely: "I opened this store, and it is my right to let anyone come and not let anyone come. I don't think I have gone too far. I do.
As soon as Miss Qu arrived, she asked our boss to accompany you by name. Are you here to stir up trouble?"
Qu Chuxiao pretended to be aggrieved: "I didn't mean it like that, but the relationship between Sister Mo and Brother Luo has always been very good. Sister Mo is so many years older than Brother Luo. She must still remember many embarrassing things about Brother Luo when he was a child. I
I just brought Sister Lipo over here because I wanted to have a chat while drinking tea, but I didn’t expect that Sister Mo would be so unhappy..."
When the demon girl heard this, she laughed softly: "Wouldn't it be faster for you to ask the old lady about Qu Luo's matter? What do you want to tell me when you come to me this time? Qu Luo is getting married, so I can have some self-awareness?
Qu Chuxiao, Qu Chuxiao, you think too much, if possible, I don’t want to see it, either you or Qu Luo."
"Really..." A hoarse and evil voice suddenly sounded from behind.
The demon girl turned around and saw Qu Luo, who was dressed in fur and fur, standing outside the door. Big snowflakes fell down and landed on his shoulder pads.
The silver armor and blood-red robe make him look more noble and evil.
The demon girl looked at him and said in a calm voice: "Yes."
"Then why do you want to come back?" Qu Luo walked over, his dark eyes filled with ice that he had never seen before: "If you don't want to see us, just don't go back to Beijing."
The demon girl chuckled lightly and said in a lazy tone: "I also have what I want to do."
"What you want to do is to avenge the Mo family, or just to see him again?" Qu Luo raised his thin lips, with a cold evil charm in his voice: "Sister Mo, you are really infatuated, you
Do you think Nangong Rongguang will marry you as agreed at that time?"
The demon girl raised her thin lips slightly: "No, you have said before that I am no longer the eldest lady of the Demon family. I am nothing if I lose this halo."
"I have said so many things. Apparently Sister Mo has forgotten everything and only remembered this sentence." Qu Luo leaned forward, stretched out his hand to lift up Mo Niang's long hair, and said with an evil smile: "It really makes me sad.
People are moved.”
The demon girl did not take a step back, and no matter what actions he made, there was always a slight smile on her face.
At that moment, Qu Luo felt unprecedented pain.
He remembered his childhood.
She stood in front of him and beat the young men who bullied him until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. She would not let him suffer any injustice. Whenever the Lord rewarded her, she would take it to the Qu Mansion and give him half of it.
But now, she told people that if possible, she didn't want to see him at all...
Oh.
Qu Luo raised his eyes, and the smile on his lips became more evil: "I am indeed going to get a wife, but this probably has nothing to do with you, right?"
"You also want to send me a message?" The Demon Lady hesitated for a moment, her eyes filled with ink: "I probably won't go."
Qu Luo's hands clenched tightly after hearing her answer: "Junior primary school student, you heard me, don't do this kind of thing in the future."
Qu Chu responded softly and said yes.
Qu Luo turned around, and the corners of his robe tumbled into a hunting arc with the north wind.
Qu Chuxiao looked at the demon girl and slightly raised her thin lips. As the two passed by, she said in a soft voice: "It seems that someone has told you before. What is your identity? Brother Luo is obviously better than me."
clever."
The demon girl did not move, her back was straight, yet mature and beautiful.
She always knows how to hide her truest emotions.
This is the lesson she learned in prison.
Can't lose, let alone cry...
"Mo Niang." Nangong Baiye opened his dry thin lips, always feeling that he should say something.
However, the Demon Lady looked away from the group of people who were leaving, and slightly curved her mouth: "Okay, let's clean up. Didn't you and Boss Pei have an appointment to meet in the evening? I'll help you make tea."
Nangong Baiye looked at the demon girl who was making the tea set clanking, walked over, hugged her waist from behind, and rubbed her head: "Hey, if you are sad, I can drink with you."
"This is a tea shop, what kind of wine do you want to drink?" The Demon Lady lowered her voice and chuckled, "I'm not sad."
Nangong Baiye hummed, looked at the broken porcelain bowl in her hands, and stopped.
