Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 307
Dusk fell from between the window sills.

Ning Xiuyuan was sitting there, he didn't read the military book anymore, he was playing chess with his left and right hands.Half of his face was bathed in the candlelight, and his cold white skin, which was almost bloodless in the past, exuded a coolness in the warm orange light, with a gentle and warm jade texture.

A flawless face, not even the pores can be seen.

Ji Wuyan just lay on the bed like this, immersed in the skin of the other party who was favored by the gods, for a long time... Only in the hungry stomach did he suddenly realize what the twilight represents at this moment...

"Ning Xiuyuan! What did you put in the medicine?!" She instantly realized that there was something wrong with the medicine.At that time, she had a headache, brain fever and stuffy nose, and she was not sensitive to the smell of medicinal materials, but no matter what the situation, she couldn't sleep like a nightmare and couldn't wake up, obviously she heard Shen Luoxin talking outside...

Sure enough, everything that fooled Ning Xiuyuan was nonsense!

The corner of the book was on that page, and Ning Xiuyuan did it on purpose!
The other party lightly tapped his fingertips, and then he looked over slowly, with a calm and gentle expression on his face, "Naturally, it's a medicine for wind and cold, what else can it be? How, do you feel better?"

"Liar, if it's just a medicine for wind and cold, how could I not wake up for a whole day after sleeping, and didn't I ask you to wake me up at lunch?"

The little girl stared at her eyes, perhaps because of the wind and cold, there was a thin layer of red under her eyes, she looked fragile and fierce.

Hearing that the voice was better than in the morning, Ning Xiuyuan got up and walked to the table and poured a glass of warm water over to him, "When the doctor asked me, he said that he would put some soothing things for you to sleep well. It was faster, so I agreed. I thought you didn't tell me that you have something important to do today... What, did you delay something?"

What was the delay that Ning Xiuyuan didn't know?

The black-robed men fought several times, escaped again and again, and finally reappeared his whereabouts this time, but this man brought a bowl of medicine and made her sleep all day!

How can you not be angry?

"Ning Xiuyuan!" She gritted her teeth and called him by name and surname. She wanted to say, can she leave me alone, but she still had reason, so she swallowed back such cruel remarks, and only opened a pair of reddish eyes, Tell Ning Xiuyuan very seriously, "I didn't come to Yanjing City to play, nor to open some Fengchenju to make money, nor to find a marriage partner. Ning Xiuyuan, I know you are worried about my safety, but... ...Although I am not a gentleman, I also understand the truth of what to do and what not to do. There are some things I can promise you not to take risks, but there are some things...even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will go."

It's almost open and honest.

She knew that Ning Xiuyuan would be worried, but she wouldn't stop taking risks because of his worry, it's better to speak clearly now.She raised her eyes to look at Ning Xiuyuan, her eyes were calm but stubborn, she asked, "Do you understand? Ning Xiuyuan... that's what I have to do."

How can I not understand...

The little girl ran into the East Palace at night and took risks many times, just to seek the truth.

Ning Xiuyuan raised his hand to touch the top of her hair, and his eyes fell on her, looking at her flushed eye sockets, at the calm and vast halo in her black pupils, at his own shadow deep inside, what is it? Sighing, "Since it's something I have to do, I'm not in a hurry. Now that you've caught the wind and cold, you've lost the opportunity, but you want to go deep into Ye's house, and you've lost the right place. I should praise you for being brave. Or praise you for being reckless?"

"I……"

"If you fail this trip, it will inevitably affect the concubine's birthday banquet later. Ningning... a good hunter must first have a good patience. He didn't disappear from then on, why bother in a place where the right time, place and people don't take advantage of it?" Under such circumstances, do you act rashly? It is still a trivial matter to scare the snake, but if it affects the future, wouldn't it be a small loss?"

"It's not that I never allow you to take risks... I was not in Yanjing City before, but now that I am here, no matter what you do, I will always be there for you. Even if you poke a hole in the sky, I will accompany you." Looking at you..." He stroked her hair again, and coaxed with a light smile, "It's just that, why bother with such a thankless task? Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry. You have to give the Ye family They are not allowed to fight you for the crime of ransacking your family? Why bother adding an enemy to yourself, right?"

The truth is indeed this truth.

Ji Wuyan frowned and looked at the embroidery on the brocade quilt, realizing that she was indeed impatient.

So much evidence began to point to the fact that Shangguan Yuan set the fire herself, and she burned herself to death... This is even more unacceptable than being killed.

First empty all the water in the lotus tank to ensure that there is no near water available.

Imprisoning and poisoning everyone in the Chongren Palace to ensure that no one can escape to ask for help, and finally locked the palace door, and set the whole palace on fire.

Ji Wuyan didn't understand how desperate a person must be to end his life so calmly and soberly.

As long as she thinks of this, she feels like falling into the boundless darkness, and even breathing is difficult, so that when she encounters the matter of the black robed man, she doesn't care about anything. After trial and questioning, what kind of isolation and helplessness did the eldest princess, who grew up spoiled by the Shangguan family, experience.

"Ning Xiuyuan..." She grabbed his hand and held it in her palm, as if drawing strength from this posture.She asked Ning Xiuyuan, "She...what kind of person is she in Yanjing City?"

The twilight is gradually fading, and the moonlight is very bright tonight, covering a whole room.

The look in the little girl's eyes probably showed hope and apprehension that even she herself hadn't expected.

He held her hand behind his back, thinking of the unfamiliar person in his memory, and murmured softly, "She is very quiet and rarely leaves the Eastern Palace. I don't know much about it, but I think she is probably the kind of person cultivated by a big family." Girl, she never makes mistakes, but she is never very happy."

But not very happy...

Obviously not like this.Shangguan Yuan loves to laugh more than herself. When she smiles, it's like flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains. Everyone in the Ji family likes to see her smile. She is beautiful, elegant, and sweet, and all her words are a little pale.

On the other hand, he looks like a wild monkey jumping up and down.

"Ning Xiuyuan. I'm a little hungry." She said, "Go to the small dining room and help me see if there is anything to eat. If there is no... let Ziqiu make me a bowl of porridge."

Her eyes were calm, and there was no trace of sadness or joy in her eyes.

Ning Xiuyuan said hello softly, and poured her another cup of tea before turning and walking outside. When he went out, he carefully closed the door. He stood outside the door for a while before walking towards the small kitchen.

Inside the house, Ji Wuyan slowly buried her face in the quilt.
