In the courtyard, a purple figure suddenly came out of the room and walked towards the outside. A trace of doubt flashed across her beautiful face. At this time, a man in a smart suit suddenly appeared in the aisle, watching the purple figure in a hurry.
He frowned slightly, took a few steps forward, and whispered, "Why are you here?"
Listening to this voice, Ziying suddenly stopped and looked at the man in front of her. She looked stunned for a moment, and something strange flashed across her face. She said indifferently: "Where has he gone?"
Guyao Cheng looked at the room behind him. It was pitch dark. It seemed that the person was no longer there. He smiled and said, "Of course he will go where he should go."
Ziying frowned slightly and looked at the man in front of her. Her expression tightened and she said coldly: "You mean he went to find Yun Yan?" At this point, she waved her hand and stared at the man in front of her.
He continued, "How could he!"
"What's wrong? Can't you see that this is his decision! I have never seen him like this, on the edge of hesitation, afraid of losing her." Guyao Cheng whispered, his eyes fell on
A trace of sadness flashed across the eyebrows of the woman in front of him, and he murmured, "Wan Qing, it's been so many years, we..."
Listening to those two words, Ziying's face changed. She snorted and said: "His decision does not mean it is correct. I can't let him make mistakes. And you, no matter how many years pass, I will kill you one day."
." After saying that, she walked directly forward and crossed Guyao City.
The moment they passed each other, Guyao City felt like a cold wind passing through, that awe-inspiring murderous intention, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, his eyes slightly closed, did she hate him so much? He thought time could erase everything.
wound, but he seemed to be wrong.
The footsteps behind him were getting farther and farther, and Guyao Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes regained his calm. He sighed and said: "He drank all night last night, and after returning from the palace today, he was locked in a room alone.
I have never seen him in such a devastated state while drinking. Except for the suffocating despair in his little body when his mother and concubine died. Wan Qing, revenge can never be the reason for a person to live, because hatred
It is cold and ruthless. When it corrodes the enemy, it is actually corroding itself. It is just the result of losing both sides. Even if it wins, the rest of life will be like a walking zombie. It will just continue to wander in the darkness forever.
There will be no way back. However, I think people have to find a reason to live after all to prove that this life is considered alive. Just like the mottled rain and dew under the sun, it brings people hope, and I
Fortunately, he has been found, so why should we interfere? What’s more, with his character, no one can stop his decision!”
The purple figure in front suddenly stopped. She stood there, a look of astonishment flashed across her beautiful face. Do you want to find a reason to live? Like the mottled rain and dew under the sun, hope? That's what he said
Have you found it? She stroked her head. Did the little boy who knelt and cried in front of the palace gate on a rainy day finally have a reason to live? Isn't it just for revenge? But he wants to protect, protect the person he deeply loves.
woman of love.
Suxuan Pavilion
Mu Jingnan closed his eyes, a look of melancholy appeared on his face, as if he had thought of something, he whispered: "My mother is not actually a palace maid, she is Mu Yangtian's concubine - Concubine Yu, I
I also had the happiest time in my life. At that time, my father was kind and my mother loved me, and all the halo fell on me. The masters and masters said that I was extremely talented and worthy of the throne, and my mother and concubine were also proud of me.
I thought I was the one among all the stars..."
Hearing this, Yun Yan frowned. She glanced at him in surprise. He... suddenly thought of something. She interrupted him and said, "Why are you telling me this?"
Mu Jingnan's voice paused, his eyes still closed, as if he hadn't heard anything, and he continued: "From the discussions of the maids and eunuchs in the palace, I know that no one is envious of me as the emperor's favorite son.
, my mother-in-law is the most beloved woman of the emperor, and I thought that my life had already been set, which was to inherit the great power and prosper the East. But that rainy night, everything changed, everything changed
, I never thought that one day my mother-in-law would close her eyes forever in my arms, and the person who killed her was my most respected father, the man she loved most." His voice became louder and louder.
It was cold and silent, and the aura emanating from his whole body was like a ghost from purgatory.
Yun Yan opened her mouth, looked at the man not far away, and whispered: "Your mother-in-law..." Her clenched hands loosened slightly, as if she could feel the coldness around him slowly spreading.
Now, was his mother and concubine also killed by his father? So at that time, during the prime minister's birthday banquet, he looked at Mu Yangtian with such indifference, as if he were looking at an enemy.
"My mother-in-law, Dugu Jinyu, is a gentle and gentle woman. I was naughty when I was young and didn't like to study. She didn't treat me as harshly as other concubines with princes, and asked me to study hard.
She let me play around. She said that my happiness was the most important. If possible, she would rather me live a mediocre life. I didn’t understand at that time. Didn’t everyone say that after becoming a prince, I would be able to dominate the world? Why did my mother
The concubine would say this, but I can see the loneliness of the mother-in-law alone in the palace. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the mother-in-law can only wait for her husband to come to her like other concubines. My father once said that there are only three thousand weak water.
Take a scoop, but the mother-in-law is just a scoop out of the three thousand weak waters. When we all thought we were happy, the mother-in-law had already fallen into the whirlpool of secret fighting in the palace. The queen and the palace concubines were all jealous.
She, the concubine who has a prince, regards me and my concubine as a thorn in the side. Because I am still young, all the conspiracies naturally attack my concubine. She is alone in the palace. The reason why she can stand firm is
It's just her father's favor, but if the man she loves the most abandons her one day, she will be left with eternal disaster." At this point, Mu Jingnan's voice stopped suddenly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
, looking at his hands, as if he was caught in a long memory.
Is there a fight in the inner palace? Yun Yan's heart sank suddenly. She looked at Mu Jingnan. In the dark night, she seemed to be able to see the hidden pain in his eyes. This was the first time that she saw such a sad expression on his face.
Is this him?
"I will never forget that rainy night when I held my mother-in-law. The cold rain hit my mother-in-law's body. Her white fingers clutched me tightly. The blood stained the gorgeous palace dress red. Her pale face
There was a sad smile on her face. She never imagined that the person who killed her in the end was actually the man with whom she had vowed to be eternally loyal. She held my hand and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she
Even the last sentence couldn't be explained clearly to me, because her tongue had already been cut off by those vicious women before that. I will never forget the cold and merciless expression he looked at the corpse of his mother-in-law.
The look in his eyes showed that he killed his mother and concubine, but he didn’t feel any sadness at all. Instead, he hugged other women and left. The despair in his mother’s eyes was like ice and snow that would not melt for a long time. I will never forget that look in her eyes. I swore at that time
, one day I will ask them for what they owe me and my mother and concubine." Mu Jingnan looked forward, clenching his hands suddenly, and there was deep hatred in his low and hoarse voice.
Yun Yan looked at Mu Jingnan, and it turned out that she had not only experienced this, she would never forget when her mother died. She felt her mother's body slowly getting colder. She wanted to save her, but God refused.
If you don't give her any chance, how can she, who is so small, compete with the sky? But when she grows up and becomes strong, she will never have a chance again.
"Why? Since we loved her deeply, why did we kill her so ruthlessly in the end?" Yun Yan whispered.
Mu Jingnan suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky. This endless night had no end. Ever since he fell into darkness, he had never prayed for light again.
"Which man can tolerate his own woman having an affair with someone else, and what's more, he is a nine-five-year-old! The queen and the others accused the mother and concubine of having an affair with others, and at that time the Gao family happened to catch someone, who was the mother's childhood sweetheart.
, he said that he and his mother-in-law had known each other since childhood and were in love with each other. Even before entering the palace, they had already formed a secret marriage. He even said that I was not the emperor's son. What a shame it would be if the royal bloodline was not pure.
In investigating this matter, the Gao family assisted. At that time, the queen and her group even used torture in advance and directly cut out the tongue of the mother-in-law. How can a person who cannot speak argue with others? And those people used my
Life was at stake, and my always gentle mother-in-law was afraid that something would happen to me. At the critical moment, she broke away from those people and ran madly towards Jintian Palace. At that time, because my mother-in-law was not there, I looked for her everywhere. It was raining in the sky,
At that time, when I was young, I felt an unprecedented panic in my heart. When I found my mother-in-law, Mu Yangtian held the sword and stabbed it into her chest. I called out to my father, saying that my mother-in-law was dying, but he only gave me a warning.
He said a word to me and deserved his death. Before leaving, he looked at me and slowly uttered those two words, bastard!" Mu Jingnan's voice also trembled, and the coldness in his eyes grew stronger.
Taking a deep breath, Yun Yan suddenly smiled bitterly. In this way, she understood everything. Concubine Yu was suspected of having an affair with someone. He was Concubine Yu's son, and he was even suspected of being a bastard, so later Mu Yang
Heaven has ignored him, even disgusted him. I am afraid that he has not had a good time in the palace these years. His mother and concubine were killed by his father, and he was called a bastard by his father, who even shouted that he had killed his mother.
The enemy's queen is the mother's queen, and she calls the son of the enemy who killed her mother as her brother. How much endurance does this require? It's no wonder that he wants to take revenge on Mu Qingyuan and the Gao family. I heard earlier that there are many people in the palace.
It's weird, but most of them are doing it for the sake of the crown prince position, and they don't want to be so miserable.
"What is your relationship with Leng Xue?" Yun Yan said suddenly. She never thought that Leng Xue, who had been by her side for so many years, would betray her one day!
Mu Jingnan looked not far away and whispered: "Ji Lengxue, no, to be precise, he should be called Dugu Lengxue. He is the son of his mother's brother. I think you should have heard about the Dugu family in Ningcheng.
Come on, even though the Dugu family has been in ruins for many years, people are still talking about what happened back then."
After hearing these words, Yun Yan suddenly sat up. Perhaps because she was too excited, she touched the wound on her left arm. "Hiss--" She screamed in pain, with a solemn look on her face. Just now she heard Mu
The name of Concubine Jingnan was somewhat familiar to her, but she just couldn't remember it. However, she had some impressions of the Dugu family. She had also been to Ningcheng before, and she knew a lot about the Dugu family there.
Like my grandfather's family, the Dugu family was accused of treason, and it seemed that they were also members of the Gao family. At that time, the Gao family rose to prominence precisely because they reported on the Dugu family. In the end, all the men of the Dugu family were executed and all the women were imprisoned.
Slaves in the harem. But these are all things of the previous dynasty. Mu Yangtian was not the emperor at that time. This happened more than 20 years ago. Lonely Jinyu was not very old at that time. Who would have thought that in the end she would
She will fall in love with her enemies. I think she gave up her hatred in the end, but in the end, the result was like this, which makes people sigh. In this way, it is no wonder that Leng Xue is so sensitive to the royal family. She once saw it on his face.
I have overcome that inexplicable hatred, and now everything makes sense.
Mu Jingnan's body moved slightly as he listened to Yun Yan's moans, but looking at her meditative face, he sat down again and said calmly: "He didn't tell me about you. He
It was only later that I found out about my deal with you."
Yun Yan glanced at Mu Jingnan in surprise. Ji Lengxue didn't tell him? How could it be? She chuckled, "If that's the case, then why did you choose me? We didn't know each other earlier, but the theft in the palace
Tianxiang Cardamom, you can actually recognize me. I consider myself a secretive person in the world, and few people know my identity. I still remember that when we met at Wenxiang Tower, we didn’t get along. You also said Leng Xue
I haven't told you my true identity, how do you know it, and how dare you use me, someone you are not sure about?" She obviously had no interaction with him, so why did he seek out her and trade with her at that time?
.She couldn’t figure it out.
Mu Jingnan's eyes suddenly fell on Yun Yan, and his low and hoarse voice came again, "I remember I told you that it was not the first time that you and I met in Wenxiang Building. When I was a child, I learned from my mother and concubine.
I heard that one of her good sisters had a daughter who was born with a birthmark on the left side of her face, so she suffered a lot of bullying. She once told me that she hoped I could be friends with her, and she said that they are all hard-working people. Remember,
On the day you returned to Liangdu, Mu Qingyuan's horse collided with your carriage. At that time, I was standing on the street, watching a carriage passing by. The breeze blew the curtain of the sedan chair, and sitting inside was a man with a left face.
The woman with the birthmark had an indifferent expression, and her eyes seemed to see through the world. I never thought that those eyes seemed to be engraved into my soul. At that time, I knew Yun Xiang’s third daughter.
You are coming back, and your description is the same as what my mother and concubine said when you were young, so I recognized you. During that confrontation at Fenglin Villa, I knew you were Yun Yan when I looked into your eyes.
If you want to talk about why I dare to cooperate with you, I believe that the person who can make Linglong Pavilion prosperous must have some skills. I am confident that you can do this well." Looking at the calm look of the woman in front of him, he said:
Unexpectedly, it was such a pair of eyes that he would never forget.
Is it because of the eyes? Yunyan stroked her head, recalling that time on the streets when she was still the seventh young master, and he had said similar words to her. She had never thought about this pair of eyes that she thought were **
His eyes would betray her one day! Therefore, he deliberately approached her because he thought she could be a good chess piece.
"Oh, because you know that I am the Seventh Young Master, you know that I am Yun Yan, and I want Tianxiang Cardamom and want to avenge my grandfather's family, so you use this as a bargaining chip to blackmail me and ask me to cooperate with you and marry
Mu Qingyuan. But if my guess is right, it is not enough for me to marry Mu Qingyuan. Even if there are rumors in the imperial capital, most of them are probably pointed at me, and Mu Qingyuan can be ignored. So you deliberately
The purpose of approaching me is to hope that I will fall in love with you. When Mu Qingyuan thought he could marry me, you snatched my love away from him, which greatly shocked him. For you, maybe I can stand up and act like the world said that Mu Qingyuan forced himself
You want to marry me. Then you announce to the world that the fourth prince's brother snatched his sister-in-law, making him reviled by everyone in the world, and making Mu Yangtian disappointed in him. And I will also be the victim in this battle.
Either she was killed by Mu Qingyuan or Mu Yangtian. Because they will not allow such a woman to live, am I right?" Yun Yan took a deep breath and whispered, yesterday in the palace
Mu Yangtian's attitude explained everything. It turned out that in the end, everything came together, but she was resisting in her heart, because this was not the result she wanted, but what exactly did she want.
There was a dull pain in her heart. It turned out that speaking like this could affect her mood.
Mu Jingnan raised his eyes and looked at the woman on the bed. Her intelligence made it impossible for him to hide. He could feel the low trembling in her voice. He suddenly closed his eyes and whispered: "Yes! At the beginning
When I said that I like you, I really wanted you to be hesitant. Your hesitation would distract Mu Qingyuan, because what you can’t get is the best after all. Mu Qingyuan will definitely want you crazily.
Because he wants you, he is more likely to make mistakes. Mu Yangtian is not only Mu Qingyuan's son, he will naturally not tolerate such shame, just like me. If it were not for the fear of the scandal being exposed, I am afraid he would have killed him long ago.
Me, and I also want Mu Qingyuan to experience what I have endured, let Gao Yueli, and the Gao family experience the fate of being abandoned by Mu Yangtian. This is to avenge the mother-in-law and the Dugu family."
Yes! Yun Yan smiled bitterly and leaned on the bed rail. He answered so simply. She laughed at herself and said: "Sure enough, love in the world is fake. I also thought that I would not be a man for any man."
I was tempted, but I always wanted to see through the secrets behind that playboy, and I never thought that one day I would fall into the tenderness he gave me." Suddenly she looked at Mu Jingnan and chuckled.
Said, "Then why did you save me at the end? Do you sympathize with me? Do you sympathize with me for being a person with a rough life experience like you?"
Mu Jingnan shook his head slightly, a trace of ridicule appeared on his handsome face, "I also thought I could be cold and ruthless, but I never thought that one day, because of a woman's sad look, my heart would actually change.
It was so painful that I had an urge to protect her. But from the beginning, I gave her a game to make her fall in love with me, and I had to continue. But along the way, it was me
I became more and more trapped, and in the end I couldn’t tell whether she was in my situation or I was in hers.”
Listening to these words, Yun Yan lowered her eyes, with a tired look on her face, and whispered, "But you still chose to use me in the end, Mu Jingnan, I'm so tired, I can no longer trust you now"
That’s it.”
"I know that I took advantage of you, and you deserve to hate me. I also know that it's too late to tell you this, but I hope that I will be just Mu Jingnan in front of you in the future." Mu Jingnan looked at the bed.
Looking at the woman's profile, if he had known that he would love her so deeply, he would never have lied to her. Is he reaping the consequences? Thinking of this, he stood up, looked at Yun Yan, and whispered, "
take a good rest."
The room suddenly fell silent, and the two people were silent. The woman on the bed stared blankly ahead without saying a word.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Jingnan turned around. After saying so much, he felt a lot more relaxed. He stroked his head, which was really hurting. He slowly walked outside.
Listening to the footsteps in the room gradually leaving, Yunyan suddenly turned her head and looked at the table. A wry smile appeared on her lips. He was gone, already gone. She slowly closed her eyes. It was really good.
tired.
In the courtyard, Bishui walked towards this side holding a lantern. Looking at the person coming out of Yunyan's room, she immediately said warily: "Who is that person?!"
However, with the light of the lantern, Bishui could clearly see the appearance of the person coming. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she shouted in shock: "Sixth Prince?!" However, as soon as she shouted this, she immediately covered her nose.
Big alcoholic taste.
Mu Jingnan seemed to have heard nothing. His eyes seemed to have no room for anything, and he walked directly forward.
Seeing Mu Jingnan like this, Bishui frowned and couldn't help but look at the clothes he was wearing, night clothes? Even if he came here so late, he wouldn't have to be so sneaky and put on night clothes. And when did his face look so embarrassed?
, stubble is all over the place, and a pair of eyes can see bloodshot eyes under this light, as if they haven’t rested for a long time, and the whole body exudes a cold aura. Is this the handsome and suave Sixth Prince? Could it be with the lady?
Quarrel again?
After pondering for a moment, Bishui suddenly remembered something in her mind. She saw an extraordinary person outside today. Although it was just a glance, she was not sure, but if that person really came to Liangdu, she would be afraid.
But things are definitely not that simple. After all, he is a person that even young ladies are taboo on.
