Time passed by bit by bit, and I was lying on a smooth boulder with my eyes closed, cool and comfortable, splashing water on my body with my hands.
There was no timing tool around her, so she didn't dare to fall asleep when she was sleepy. She could only rely on non-stop movements to keep herself awake at all times.
The red rash all over the body has not completely disappeared, but unless you look closely, you can't see any particularly noticeable traces.
The warm and comfortable hot spring water nourished her body, and the only sound in the entire hot spring pool was the sound of her splashing water, which really put her impetuous and nervous heart at peace for a moment.
As long as she remembers what she has to do later, she doesn't want to think about anything and just enjoys it.
About half an hour later, faint footsteps came from far and near.
Zhenliang felt a chill in his heart, but he was too lazy to open his eyes.
This time she may have been so focused on enjoying the hot spring that she didn't even hear the sound of the woman taking the key to open the door.
Zhenliang couldn't believe that the woman didn't understand her face just now, didn't understand her words that she didn't want to be disturbed anymore, and before she left, she promised not to disturb her again, but she broke her promise after only half an hour...
She hated people who broke their promises most in her life.
Zhenliang's heart became inexplicably irritable, as if there was a fire in his heart that needed to be vented.
The woman didn't look like a troublesome person, maybe Nangong Lie asked her to send something over again, right?
It’s so annoying! Nangong Lie is so annoying!
Indiscriminately, Zhenliang regarded Nangong Lie as the culprit.
In order to ensure that when the drainage pipeline was stopped later, the woman would not suddenly break in and destroy it. Zhenliang's eyes were cold and his tone was quite unpleasant. "Sister, why are you here again? Is it because I have so much trouble?"
What did your fiancé ask you to bring? Please tell him that I don't need anything except peace and quiet."
It stands to reason that as soon as Zhenliang said these words, the woman would respond to her with a sentence or two no matter what her mood was. However, Zhenliang waited for a long time and did not hear the woman's voice.
This is too strange!
It's not that she thinks a woman has no right to be angry, but she thinks it's unusual for a woman to be so enthusiastic and silent.
Could it be that the woman was so angry that she could not speak? It seems that what she said was not that serious, right?
Could it be...
Feeling extremely uneasy, Zhenliang suddenly opened his eyes. What kind of woman was the figure that appeared in his eyes? She was clearly Nangong Lie, who was standing with his hands behind his back!
His handsome face was as cold and gloomy as ever, and his tall figure was as graceful as a pine tree, as if it was only natural for him to trespass into the hot spring pool where Zhenliang was.
Zhenliang clearly heard a snort of disdain and contempt coming from under Nangong Lie's nose.
Unexpectedly, he met Nangong Lie's deep phoenix eyes, and Zhenliang's uncovered face suddenly burned like fire. The two brown spots looked even more eye-catching against the blush.
Zhenliang blushed and was shy not only because her ugly face was finally revealed in front of Nangong Lie's eyes, but also at this moment, Nangong Lie's eyes had naturally moved away from her face and scanned her face without blinking.
Her body was almost naked, and her eyes were wanton and playful.
Those phoenix eyes were clearly devoid of emotion and warmth, but they carried contradictory heat, as if they could penetrate her obscene clothes and see the charming world behind them, thereby controlling her whole person.
According to modern standards, Zhenliang's obscene clothes are nothing more than a navel-baring vest with wide suspenders, and her obscene pants are like a pair of loose boxer shorts.
Compared with bellybands, modern three-point swimsuits, and even eye-catching pants, Zhenliang's underwear is already very conservative. However, when the white underwear is stained by water, it becomes so conservative. to the extent that it completely collapsed.
The dyed fabric was almost transparent in color, and because it clung to her skin, the bumps and convexities on her body were clearly visible, making the fabric seem to have no sense of existence, as ridiculous as the emperor's new clothes.
Zhenliang sunk her body as hard as she could, but the spring water was so clear that even if she immersed her shoulders in the water, Nangong Lie might still be able to clearly see the beautiful scenery on her chest.
Extremely embarrassed, Zhenliang could only fold his arms to protect his chest.
She wanted to go to the edge of the pool and put on clothes to cover up, but she knew that once she put on clothes, it meant that she had finished soaking and could follow him into the palace.
Therefore, she could only endure the humiliation of being teased with his eyes and continue to soak in it until he left.
She finally understood why, when the hot spring pool was so quiet, she didn't hear the sound of the key unlocking or someone walking in. I'm afraid that with this man's ability, he didn't even need a key to get in, and he could walk without making any noise. sound.
Isn't this man having a good time drinking with his subordinates? Why did he suddenly barge into her place?
Now that he's here, how can she escape through the drainage pipe?
Although there was still time before the cave could stop draining water, she could not guarantee whether this man would stay here forever or take her away directly?
What method should she use to drive this shameless man out as soon as possible?
To be honest, she really doesn't want to wait for the next quarter of an hour, because the more failures she has, the more uneasy she feels, and her belief in success becomes weaker. The so-called long nights and many dreams, is this generally true?
And before she was even halfway through the night, she had several dreams, which really made her resentful.
He kicked the surface of the water hard, causing water to splash in all directions. Ma Ryo used this to vent his dissatisfaction and protest.
Then, she glared at Nangong Lie angrily and spoke with an unwelcome look on her face.
"Your Majesty, although today is the day when I marry you as my concubine, I haven't entered the palace yet. You are still you, and I am still me. The saying is scary, and I don't want to lose that right before I enter the palace. As a matter of fact, when the itching on my body stops and the rash disappears, I will go to see the emperor. There are many hot spring pools in this inn, so please avoid it for the time being."
Nangong Lie glanced at Zhenliang with cold eyes, as if he didn't hear anything, and suddenly turned sideways and strode towards the drainage outlet.
Immediately, Zhenliang's heartstrings tightened. Could it be that Wen Zhengming was caught by him and confessed? Or maybe he had great powers and a sudden inspiration, and he realized her thoughts and path to escape?
Zhenliang secretly warned herself that no matter what the possibility was, before Nangong Lie didn't expose her, she couldn't mess up her position and make a move without giving in.
Just like Zhenliang did at the beginning, Nangong Lie walked back and forth between the four drainage outlets, and finally stopped at the cave where the drainage stopped.
Zhenliang's heart suddenly sank. How did this man develop such piercing eyes?
Next, will he laugh at her for overestimating her abilities?
Nangong Lie stood silently, not moving any further, nor moving his eyes away from the cave. Zhenliang's heartbeat was beating like a drum, and she was mentally prepared for him to laugh at her in various ways.
Unexpectedly, Zhenliang waited for a long time and indeed received a mocking comment from Nangong Lie, but it had nothing to do with the drainage of the cave.
He said: "Your reputation was lost in Ai County two days ago, so what reputation do you have now?"
Zhenliang’s heart felt at ease at the same time, but at the same time it was irritable.
Nangong Lie's two fluttering words were like a cold thunderbolt on a clear day to her. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth for a long time, but she didn't say a word.
It seems that not only the Yuchi family knew that she escaped from marriage two days ago, but also Nangong Lie. Moreover, with his ability, I am afraid he can clearly investigate the details of what happened to her.
And what does he mean when he says that her reputation has been lost? Does it mean that she was locked up by Lao Lin, or that Brother Ming touched her hand? Or did she have those intimate behaviors with Third Master?
To the king of a country, if a woman who is about to become a concubine has an intimate physical relationship with another man before entering the palace, even if she does not lose her innocence, it is no different than being cuckolded.
Realizing this, the uncontrollable shame and anger in Zhenliang's heart gradually disappeared, replaced by a self-destructive pride and pride.
Looking at Nangong Lie's profile from a distance, Zhenliang slightly raised his lips, "Since the emperor thinks that my reputation has been ruined, why bother to take me into the palace aggrievedly? You could just let me go and say that I was assassinated on the way into the palace.
That’s it.”
At this moment, Zhenliang was just expressing her dissatisfaction without any hope that Nangong Lie would let her go.
If Nangong Lie was willing to let her go, he would have agreed on the carriage and would not agree again at this time. This should also be an aspect of a man's bad nature.
The more you want to leave him and the more you don't take him seriously, the less likely he is to let you go, even if he doesn't like you at all, or even hates you, because you don't care about him and don't care about him.
His face challenged his patience and slighted his self-esteem.
When Zhenliang thought that Nangong Lie would no longer pay attention to him, Nangong Lie actually said again, "Do you want to know the reason why I won't let you leave?"
"Your Majesty, please do as you wish." Due to curiosity, Zhenliang naturally wanted to know the correct answer, but she also knew very well that she couldn't force this kind of thing. If he didn't want to tell her, she wouldn't be able to find out no matter how much he asked.
If he wanted to tell her, she'd better pretend not to care, lest he change his mind temporarily.
As if he had seen through Zhenliang's trick of playing hard to get, Nangong Lie snorted coldly and suddenly said, "I won't let him be happy if An San likes it."
Set? Who is the set?
The first person Zhenliang thought of was Third Master. Among the men she had met after her escape, except Third Master, who had the ability to make Nangong Lie so concerned and fearful?
Although Nangong Lie's tone of voice was calm and there was nothing too sinister in it, Zhenliang still took the initiative to side with the third master, feeling angry and unworthy for him.
She was angry because Nangong Lie indiscriminately snatched a woman she didn't like from him. What was unworthy was that she felt that there was no need for the Third Master to give in to a woman she liked for a man like Nangong Lie.
The woman you like?
A sarcastic smile escaped from the corner of Zhenliang's mouth. Is she the woman that Third Master likes? Maybe, but she is definitely not a woman that he is willing to spend his life to like. Otherwise, how could he bear to give up on her?
Thinking of that person who shouldn't be thought of, Zhenliang's black eyes were filled with mist, but he didn't notice it at all.
