Originally, Nangong Lie would normally not lift the curtains of the carriage on the way back to the palace, but tonight, after the carriage entered the palace gate, he had a strange feeling that there was something outside that was closely related to him.
It might be one thing, it might be a person.
Although there was no clear thing or person, he had to see it.
So, he followed his own feeling and opened the car curtain.
Everything seemed to be vaguely expected, but also clearly unexpected, he saw the woman he had been missing, but that woman was holding her waist with Nangong Yu's arms around her with bright eyes.
Then, the two of them looked at each other, one looking slightly shy, the other looking focused.
This gentle and touching scene hurt his eyes.
According to his usual temperament, at this time, he would definitely let the carriage continue to drive, pretending that he didn't see anything.
However, he didn't want to leave these two people alone, and he didn't want to give them a chance to have a better life. Once he left indifferently, they didn't know how they would deepen their relationship. This was something he was unwilling to do.
Of course, he also knew that the two people were standing under the tree in the dark, definitely because they were waiting for him.
So, he shouted coldly, "Stop the car."
The carriage screeched to a halt, and Zhenliang, who was under the tree, had naturally broken free from Nangong Yu's arm, and thanked him sheepishly, "Thank you."
The soft touch he felt from Zhenliang's waist always made Nangong Yu intoxicated. After being stunned, Nangong Yu smiled gently, "Who told you not to skip dinner? Are you suffering now?"
They were clearly words of blame, but when they came out of his mouth, they were filled with endless affection.
Zhenliang chuckled, no longer interested in accepting his favor, and looked anxiously at the place where the carriage stopped.
Nangong Yu's heart sank slightly, his eyes darkened, and he said generously, "Go see the emperor brother quickly."
Zhenliang nodded and had no time to say anything more to Nangong Yu, so he ran towards the carriage.
However, it was really dark, and Zhenliang's legs were really tired, so he fell down halfway through the run and couldn't get up from the ground for a long time.
Nangong Yu was about to step forward to help her up, but happened to meet Nangong Lie's sharp eyes on the carriage. Although he didn't say anything, Nangong Yu could easily read his eyes.
His royal brother was threatening him with his eyes, and his woman did not need help and care from others.
The steps Nangong Yu was about to take seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he clenched his hands into fists. He wanted to help her more and more because his heart hurt so much. However, his conscience was condemned more and more deeply, so he could only choose to give up temporarily.
The moment Zhenliang fell down, Nangong Lie wished he could jump out of the carriage immediately so that he could catch her in his arms. However, the two of them were far apart. Unless he was a god, he would not be able to catch her in time.
.
Since the result was the same, and Nangong Lie had a grudge against her, he could not bear to jump off the carriage immediately.
Seeing Zhenliang lying on the ground in embarrassment, unable to get up for the time being, Nangong Lie secretly scolded her for being useless. Even if the grudge in his heart could not be eliminated, he could not tolerate himself to ignore her anymore.
At the same time, he was afraid that if he didn't take care of her, she would fall into the arms of another man again. When that happens, it would not be Zhenliang's fault, but his fault for letting her go.
So, after using his eyes to stop Nangong Yu from touching the woman he shouldn't touch, he immediately jumped off the carriage and went straight to the place where Zhenliang fell.
The poor guard sitting in front of the car felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and when he turned around, the emperor was nowhere to be seen.
When Zhenliang struggled to get up from the ground, before he could even raise his head, a pair of men's shoes appeared in front of him.
Her heart was beating faster than before. She didn't even need to raise her head to confirm. Zhenliang knew who was coming. She didn't know how to describe her mood. She only knew that she was so nervous that she couldn't lift her head.
Her head seemed to be heavier than ever, her eyes that had just been staring at him suddenly became misty, and cold sweat oozed from her open hands...
In fact, her whole body was trembling slightly, not sure whether it was because of the pain from the fall or because the weather was too cold...
"What's wrong?" A cold but familiar voice came from the top of Zhenliang's head. Apparently, Nangong Lie had noticed something strange about her.
Hearing this long-lost voice, Zhenliang's nose couldn't help but feel sour, and tears rolled down inexplicably.
There were no sobs, only big tears rolling down, which was especially shocking in the dark night.
I don't know whether he really didn't have the strength to continue standing steadily, or whether he did it on purpose. Zhenliang's body leaned forward slightly, just leaning into Nangong Lie's arms. He wanted to say something soft and flattering, but something came out.
Instead, he asked, "Why did you come here?"
To Nangong Lie's ears, these words did not sound like an accusation, but rather the coquettish behavior of a little woman.
Although he was very surprised that Zhenliang would take the initiative to lean into his arms, the grudge in Nangong Lie's heart disappeared instantly, and he immediately stretched out his hands to gently embrace her.
His eyes inadvertently glanced at Nangong Yu, who was not far behind Zhenliang. Nangong Yu's gloomy eyes happened to avoid looking at him.
Zhenliang was glad that Nangong Lie didn't push her away. She kept comforting herself that she didn't lean into Nangong Lie's arms involuntarily just now, but did it on purpose.
Firstly, she wanted to show weakness to gain sympathy in order to win the possibility of Yinye being released as soon as possible. Secondly, she needed to deliberately show intimacy with Nangong Lie, so that Nangong Yu could further see the facts and give up step by step.
.
It was impossible to take back what was said. Zhenliang thought that Nangong Lie didn't know what happened in the harem, so he immediately took the time to explain, "Your Majesty, Yinye was -"
Before she could finish speaking, Nangong Lie interrupted her and said, "I know everything."
Just as Zhenliang was about to ask what he thought, Nangong Lie suddenly picked her up and turned around and strode towards the carriage.
Although he could not adapt to Nangong Lie being so close to him, under Nangong Yu's gaze, Zhenliang chose to obey unconditionally.
Anyway, she is hungry and exhausted now, so why not have someone help her with the burden of walking?
The carriage started moving again. Nangong Yu looked at the carriage going further and further away, without moving or looking away for a long time.
Although the carriage had long since disappeared, the moving carriage kept appearing in front of his eyes. It seemed that he could still see the two people inside through the covered curtains, hugging each other tightly.
Kiss together.
The discomfort of suffocation ate away at his strong beating heart bit by bit, leaving him unable to find where his heart was.
Somewhere deep in his body there was a voice shouting over and over again: Rabbit, why are you not mine?
