The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 224 Pretending Indifference

Nangong Jin's hand was still tightly holding Ning Yan, Ning Yan didn't break free, nor dodged, but remained silent.

"Yan'er, how many days have I been in a coma?" Nangong Jin asked softly.

After a while, Ning Ningyan finally spoke.

"Why do you need to know these questions, even if I told you for ten or 20 days, what do you think?" Ning Yan still said coldly, as if she was deliberately alienating Nangong Jin.

"Yan'er..." Nangong Jin was very upset after hearing the words, yes, what exactly was he thinking?

"Eat something. You haven't eaten for many days. You can only rely on Fengming to feed you some medicine to preserve your strength. Your body can't bear it." Ning Yan said, and she was about to walk towards the table, but Nangong Jin's hand still did not let go.

"Yan'er, do you think that if you don't explain all this clearly to me, I will be able to eat?" Nangong Jin asked helplessly.

"What exactly do you want to know?" Ning Yan turned around and met Nangong Jin's eyes, but the next second, she wanted to avoid...

Nangong Jin's gaze turned out to be like this.

Back then, Nangong Jin's eyes were so domineering. No matter what kind of things he experienced, those eyes were always piercing and not angry. It was such sadness that added a bit of barrenness to his haggard face.

"How did you get the antidote? Could it be that you exchanged something with someone else?" Nangong Jin somehow had such an idea in his heart. He really didn't know what this woman would do.

Ning Ningyan just smiled faintly, the meaning of this smile is so unclear.

"You think too much. I didn't get the antidote. If you don't get the cure, I'll just watch you leave quietly. I won't exchange anything with anyone."

"Oh? Where did the antidote come from? Could it be that it fell from the sky?" Nangong Jin didn't believe Ning Yan's words at all.

Faced with Nangong Jin's distrust, Ning Yan just asked, "Do you really want to know?"

"That's natural!" Nangong Jin said firmly, he must find out what this woman did for him.

"Then don't regret it. I'm afraid that the person who delivered the medicine will surprise you." Ning Yan said indifferently, now she has no worries.

"Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you that the antidote was just sent by Nangong Yuexi."

"What?!" Nangong Jin was slightly shocked, just as Ning Ningyan said, the person who delivered the medicine was indeed a bit beyond his expectation...

"How? Have you thought of this person?" Looking at Nangong Jin's dull face, Ning Yan asked.

"How could it be...it's her..." Nangong Jin said to himself, his heart full of mysteries and doubts, but the stronger emotion in his heart was indeed the deep pain.

"She came here tonight with her face covered, and secretly put the antidote on the table. Although she was covered with a black veil, the unique apricot fragrance on her body could not be concealed. This is how I deduced her identity. " Ning Yan told all the things lightly, without hiding anything.

Yuexi...

Nangong Jin said silently in his heart, his inner emotions were very complicated. Regarding Nangong Yuexi, he really didn't know how to treat her?

Looking at Nangong Jin's slightly gloomy face, Ning Yan knew that he must be very surprised.

"Nangong Yuexi is not really missing. For so many years, she has been hiding her identity, but you have never noticed it."

The next second, Nangong Jin turned his gaze to Ning Yan.

"You...wrong. This king already knew about this matter, and I was the one who drove Nangong Yuexi out." Nangong Jin said with a gloomy expression.

"What? You already know?" Ning Yan had to admit that she didn't expect this.

"Then do you know that she has been secretly liking you for so many years, if she didn't regard you as her most cherished person, how could she take the risk to come to my Linglong Mountain?"

Nangong Jin stopped talking and turned her head to the side.

Could it be that he doesn't know what Ning Ningyan said?

After all, he is a person, a person with all kinds of emotions and six desires. In fact, he has already noticed his feelings for Nangong Yuexi a long time ago.

Ning Ningyan planned to say something more, but in the next moment, she couldn't speak...

What she said just now seemed to have deeply hurt Nangong Jin. Even though she was indifferent to him who had just returned from the brink of life and death, she still couldn't bear to hurt him any more.

"Eat something, you are still resting here tonight, I'm going to rest somewhere else, what's the matter, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Ning Yanyan said, walked to the table, and brought the tray in front of Nangong Jin.

Nangong Jin was still silent, facing these meals, he had no appetite at all.

Seeing Nangong Jin in this state, Ning Ningyan knew that she had nothing to say, she quietly walked out of the room, and looked back silently before going out.

In the candlelight, Nangong Jin's haggard expression was revealed, his eyes were helplessly dazed, and he knew that he must still be entangled in the matter of Nangong Yuexi.

A faint unbearable feeling floated in Ning Yan's heart. She didn't know if it was too cruel for Nangong Jin who had just woken up to learn such news suddenly...

The door slammed softly, and Nangong Jin was the only one left in the room, his hands clenched together weakly.

Unexpectedly, the person who really saved him was the betrayer he had said in his mouth.

Perhaps, this is also God's destiny. Nangong Yuexi did this to make up for deceiving Nangong Jin.

There was a deathly silence in the room. I don't know if Nangong Jin will be as silent as he is now tomorrow. If so, I don't know how long he will be silent in melancholy.

……

During breakfast today, Ning Ningyan finally showed her face, this was the first time in so many days.

Zhu Yefei was still staying in Linglong Mountain. At the moment, he was fiddling with the side dishes on the plate with his chopsticks. When he saw Ning Ningyan coming in, he was slightly surprised.

"Oh? Master Leng, why did you come to the front mountain to eat today instead of staying in the back house to take care of King Jing'an?" Zhu Yefei had a casual expression. He wanted to see Ning Yan's reaction, thinking that she might retort.

But to his surprise, Ning Yan's face was very leisurely, her gauze was shining, she walked with lotus steps, and sat opposite to Zhu Yefei.

"Young Master Zhu, you are quite concerned about King Jing'an's condition. Why don't you guess what is King Jing'an's condition at the moment?"

Condensed Yan's reaction made Zhu Yefei a little confused. It was the first time in so many days that she saw her so relaxed. Speaking of which, didn't she worry about Nangong Jin all the time?
Zhu Yefei smiled calmly.

"Master Leng Pavilion, what's the point of guessing? Could it be that King Jing'an was able to recover overnight?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect Mr. Zhu to be so smart, and he guessed right..." Although Ning Yanyan's words sounded like she was praising Zhu Yefei, how could Zhu Yefei not hear it? There seemed to be something in her words. That's what he was joking about.

"Pavilion Master Leng, don't be joking. I advise you to go back and take care of King Jing'an. After dinner, I will visit you when I have time."

Facing Zhu Yefei's doubts, Ning Yan just smiled lightly and did not answer. The more she behaved like this, the more uncomfortable Zhu Yefei felt. Is it so funny to expose her lies?

A muffled coughing sound came from outside the dining room door, and Zhu Yefei couldn't help turning his head, but what he saw in the next second left him dumbfounded.

I saw Shu Yan leading the way in front, and Nangong Jin following behind. He could see clearly that his face was still very haggard. One could tell at a glance that he was just recovering from a serious illness, but he didn't think it was such a person. Last night Lying on the bed unconsciously.

"How about it, Mr. Zhu, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Ning Yan blinked, looked at Zhu Yefei, and looked at his surprised expression, as if very happy.

"What... what's going on here?!" Zhu Yefei still couldn't believe the facts in front of him, and asked a little speechlessly, but at this moment he subconsciously regained his composure.

Seeing Nangong Jin sitting between Zhu Yefei and Ning Ningyan, Zhu Yefei gradually came to his senses.

"Oh, if my king remembers correctly, this should be Mr. Zhu. I didn't expect you to come too." Nangong Jin said in a low voice, but her tone had obviously returned to normal, still that faint domineering, faint ridicule.

Zhu Yefei cupped his fists at Nangong Jin unnaturally, "My lord, has the poison in your body been dissolved?"

The corners of Nangong Jin's mouth curled up slightly.

"That's natural. If it weren't for this, how could this king be sitting here? It's all thanks to Pavilion Master Leng." Nangong Jin said, looking up at Ning Yan, but Ning Yan just bowed her head and remained expressionless.

"In that case, I'm happy for the lord..." Zhu Yefei said unnaturally, feeling slightly displeased for some reason.

"Then I would like to ask Master Leng, how did you heal the prince?"

A moment later, Ning Yanyan slightly opened her vermilion lips and spoke lightly.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Mr. Zhu. Thanks to the medicine you sent, the prince was able to save himself from danger. Your lord, if you want to thank you, you should also thank Mr. Zhu. In the past two days, he has treated you as well. I miss you very much."

I don't know why, but Ning Ningyan said such a set of words that are incompatible with the truth.

After hearing this, Nangong Jin frowned, and cast her gaze over there, with obvious displeasure in her eyes, she thought to herself: What kind of tricks is this woman playing?What does everything have to do with Zhu Yefei? Could it be that she still hates him so much, and wants to get angry with him after he happened to be there?

At the same time, Zhu Yefei was also unknown, who was deeply suspicious of what Ning Ningyan said.Ever since he met Ning Yan this morning, he always felt that she was playing a joke on him...
