In the dead of night, Zhenliang was rarely bothered by the question of whether Nangong Lie was coming or not, and all he could think about was Yin Ye.
Everyone has feelings, not only Yinye has a deep affection for her, but she also has a deep affection for Yinye. Even if Yinye has never been her substitute, she doesn't want the warm-hearted girl beside her to disappear in this world.
It should have been time to go to bed, but Zhenliang had no intention of sleeping. He kept pacing back and forth in the bedroom, and his heart was restless.
Nangong Lie has already sent a second group of people to find Yin Ye's whereabouts, and promised to tell her as soon as there is news.
Therefore, Zhenliang hoped that a knock on the door would suddenly ring, or that Nangong Lie would come in personally from the window and bring her news about Silver Leaf.
But Zhenliang knew that Nangong Lie would not come very early tonight, or not come at all, because many people in Qiongyu Palace, like Zhenliang, had no intention of sleeping because of Yinye's disappearance. Many people's bedrooms were full of people.
The lights were on, and people would even go out and walk around from time to time, hoping that the silver leaves would suddenly and miraculously appear.
Zhenliang walked to the door and opened it gently, wanting to call everyone together and let them all turn off the lights and rest, because even if they stayed up all night, it would not help Silver Leaf's return.
However, when the cold wind blew in, Zhenliang didn't know whether it was the blow that woke her up, or because she suddenly thought of something, she immediately gave up this idea that she thought was a bit ridiculous.
She asked herself mockingly: It's so cold, it's so cold, do you have to warm the bed with Nangong Lie? One night without him makes you feel uncomfortable all over? Are you thinking about the servants? You are clearly thinking about yourself, right?
You are just preparing to go out after clearing the obstacles for Nangong Lie's arrival, right?
Habit is a terrible thing, and being inseparable from a person because of habit is obviously even more terrible. Zhenliang doesn't allow himself to get used to a man who shouldn't be accustomed to him, and can't live without a man who shouldn't put hope in him.
Gently closing the door again and locking it, Zhenliang walked towards the depths of the bedroom, forcing himself not to listen to the sounds outside or look at the movement on the other side of the window.
Finally, Zhenliang sat on the edge of the bed, put his hands on his knees, and was in a daze quietly. All he could think about was the various silver leaves, and tears filled his eyes unconsciously.
I don't know how much time passed, but when Zhenliang felt a little sore in his neck and was about to raise his head and twist his neck, he heard a slight sound in his ear.
It wasn't the knock on the door she was expecting, but the cautious sound of opening the window from the south window.
Nangong Lie must be here.
Zhenliang didn't expect that he would still come here when the night was so late.
Thinking of his arrival, for some reason, tears began to well up in Zhenliang's eyes that had just dried up, and his heart felt even more sad for Silver Leaf.
As the sound of the man's feet landing heavily was heard, Zhenliang's heart beat faster and he couldn't help but lower his head again. He didn't realize at all that the movements and sounds of the man coming in this time were a little different from usual.
For example, the action of opening the window was not crisp enough and seemed a bit hesitant.
The movement of jumping in was not fast enough and seemed a little panicked.
The action of closing the window was not bold enough and seemed cautious.
Zhenliang didn't even notice that even the sound of footsteps walking in was completely different from the past.
When the man stood still in front of Zhenliang and patted Zhenliang's shoulder, Zhenliang realized that something was wrong.
Nangong Lie was used to behaving indifferently. Even if he was the most special to her, he would not silently pat her on the shoulder after quietly climbing in through the window.
If she deliberately pretends not to see him, he will either directly use words to anger her, or directly use domineering and strong actions to torment her. He will never be so gentle.
Zhenliang's heart skipped a beat, and then her eyes slowly moved up from the man's feet.
She gradually realized that the man was dressed completely different from Nangong Lie. He looked like the kind of assassin who kills without blinking an eye, wearing a black night suit.
When Zhenliang's eyes fell on the man's covered face, he finally confirmed that the person who came was not Nangong Lie at all, but someone else.
Zhenliang stood up abruptly. Instead of calling for help, he looked at the man sharply and said coldly, "Who are you?"
If she called for help, maybe the people in Qiongyu Palace would hear her, but she gave up calling for help. Then, inexplicably, she felt a familiarity in this man's eyes, and she didn't feel anything like it from this man.
Killing intent, if he intended to kill her, he could just put the sword to her neck without patting her shoulder as gently as before. Secondly, she was afraid that once she called for help, the man who was not planning to kill her would suddenly
Change your mind and kill her.
Faintly, Zhenliang felt that the arrival of this person was related to Yinye. Could it be that he had captured Yinye?
At this moment, she would rather Yin Ye was captured by this man than never hear from her again.
The man's black eyes looked particularly clear and clean in the dim light, shining brightly. He pulled down the scarf covering his cheeks with one hand, revealing a handsome and beautiful face.
Zhenliang's mouth trembled and moved, and he said with a look of disbelief on his face, "Third Prince?"
Nangong Yu nodded slightly shyly, his bright black eyes seemed to be attracted by Zhenliang's unobstructed face, and he couldn't move away, "It's me."
This is the second time Nangong Yu has seen Zhenliang's true face. The first time, Zhenliang took the initiative to show it to him, in order to scare him with his ugliness and offend him.
Zhenliang thought that because Nangong Yu hadn't appeared in front of her these days, he had given up on her. However, tonight, he broke the window to visit her late at night and looked at her with such deep eyes, she couldn't help but feel confused.
think……
Clearing his throat awkwardly, Zhenliang blushed slightly and said, "Why do you keep looking at me like that? Do you think I'm not ugly enough?"
Nangong Yu curled his lips and said, "Although I didn't come at the right time or according to the rules, I think it's particularly rare and beautiful to be able to see your face in such an atmosphere. What you think is ugly is, in my eyes, very rare.
, it’s just a dim spot of light, no matter how beautiful you look.”
Although Nangong Lie never said that she was ugly, he never said that her face was beautiful. Facing Nangong Yu's remarks, it would definitely be abnormal for Zhenliang to remain calm.
It seems that few people can resist the praise of others, especially those who praise her with sincerity and sincerity.
Zhenliang glared at Nangong Yu angrily, tried his best to keep his expression indifferent and said, "Stop talking, it's not a good place to stay for a long time. Tell me quickly, what are you doing here?"
She almost told Nangong Yu directly that Nangong Lie would come later, but, guessing that Nangong Lie might not come, and this was a secret between her and Nangong Lie, she held back and did not say it.
