Beauty and Beauty: Adopted Daughter Becomes Concubine

Chapter 59 Asking Why You Love Me (2)
Yi Jiangnan was leaning on the bed, his face was not very good-looking under the candlelight, a wound on his arm had just been bandaged with medicine, his eyes kept on Lian Yingtong.

"Your wound is not deep, and this medicine stops the bleeding very quickly. I am not familiar with Lingshan, so I can only wrong you to rest here. I will find a way to send you out after you recover your strength." Lian Yingtong whispered as she packed the medicine bottle .

After Yi Jiangnan listened to her, she never asked a word about what happened to him since she recognized him.

Some things did happen in it, she didn't ask or even acted as if it never happened, Yi Jiangnan felt a little sorry for her.At that time, she was very worried, so she came to see her in the prison of Dali Temple and brought her ointment.

"Can you hear me say a few words?" He licked his dry lips and asked again.

Yi Jiangnan was in his teens and left home to wander around. He was surprised for a long time and met many tough people in big scenes. He had never been nervous once. When facing Tongtong, he became a little nervous when speaking.

"About last time..."

"As long as your hand is still there, he is definitely not indiscriminate." She once ran back to Lian's old house and had a fight with Murong Yuchi for a long time. At that time, Murong Yuchi was really bad in her eyes. Just a complete tyrant, unexpected things unexpected.

What Murong Yuchi didn't want her to know, there was always a way to hide it from her, she was always the one who knew it later.

At first, he was a little angry when he thought about it, but then he thought that Yi Jiangnan had nothing to do, that was the best thing, and the resentment towards Murong Yuchisheng who lied to her for a long time came and went quickly.

"You defend your imperial uncle very much." Yi Jiangnan smiled, and she called Murong Yuchi him in a tone that sounded a bit intimate, but he felt very disappointed when he heard it.

Lian Yingtong's beautiful eyes froze, it turned out that Yi Jiangnan didn't know her identity yet, and Murong Yuchi was still her imperial uncle.

Li Xuan's voice suddenly sounded outside the room door, "Your Majesty, just now the guards said that they found outsiders intruding, so the slaves came to see if your Majesty is okay?"

"Well, I'm going to sleep, Aunt Xuan is going to rest soon after the heavy snowstorm tonight." Lian Yingtong responded, and when she heard Li Xuan's footsteps walking away, she turned around and signaled to Yi Jiangnan that she could feel at ease.

A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes, and Yi Jiangnan thought of something and his expression changed slightly.

The person who was sent to Northern Qi for marriage was somewhat similar to Tongtong in appearance. Qi Beiyao had to temporarily accept him even though he knew he was not the one he married when he was defeated. Yi Jiangnan was inevitably worried about Lian Yingtong. The girl promised to marry her to the state of Qi, which must have made Murong Yuchi angry.

In the Battle of the Canglan River, the Qi State had no chance of winning. He kept his promise to keep Qi State's military strength. Yi Jiangnan was an idle person, and when the promise was fulfilled, he hurried back to Nanming to meet Lian Yingtong again.

Murong Yuchi really protected her completely, Nanming Palace sent more people inside and outside, none of the spies he had stayed in Nanming could find out Tongtong's news, Yi Jiangnan took advantage of Murong's Lingshan and his party to leave, and explored the palace at night, but found nothing .

So he came to Lingshan again and lurked in the dark for several days, only to see Murong Yuchi leaving alone with a few guards.

But there was also an unexpected reunion.

Even more unexpectedly, her address changed from Princess Changning to Empress.

Yi Jiangnan heard that Murong Yuchi doted on a woman with the surname Lian in the palace, the Lian family, and he remembered the name Lian Liyang had mentioned.

Conservation has always been a bit cynical, Yi Jiangnan said seriously, "General Xuanwei Lian Liyang has something to do with you?"

"You know my daddy?"

Yi Jiangnan spoke slowly again, "General Lian is still alive, do you know?"

Lian Yingtong trembled all over at that moment, Yi Jiangnan's words undoubtedly exploded above her head, her mind was blank, her ears were buzzing, her feet were weak and her body fell suddenly, Yi Jiangnan stretched out his hand to support her , but was pushed away by her almost arbitrarily, and the neatly trimmed and smooth nails scratched the back of his hand fiercely, and a few bloodstains suddenly appeared on the back of his hand due to the strength.

It took a while for Yingtong to come back to her senses, she was too shocked and trembling, she almost squeezed out her teeth and said, "My father has passed away!"

He frowned and sighed softly. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in a short time before, and her reaction was far beyond Yi Jiangnan's expectations.

"It seems that you really don't know." Yi Jiangnan sighed.

"You said he was still alive, what proof do you have?"

"General Lian is indeed alive, but very few people know this secret. My family knew General Lian. When I came to Nanming to collect General Lian's body, I accidentally discovered that the body was not your father Lian Liyang. I have been tracking it down until now. There are some eyebrows in succession."

In the beginning, no matter how many people the Yi family sent to search all over the country, they still couldn't find any news about Lian Liyang. It turned out that he had never left Nanming, and had been carefully hidden somewhere in Nanming for the past few years.

Recently, Xiao Chongyuan secretly spent a lot of money to investigate clues about the Nanming secret edict left by the late emperor, and Yi Jiangnan smelled something extraordinary from it.

There must be a close connection between the life and death of Lian Liyang and the late emperor's secret edict. Yi Jiangnan's eyes flashed brightly, and he said with a smile on his lips, "Evidence? If it can prove whether General Lian is alive or dead, the person who should ask the question should be Murong Yuchi."

Lian Yingtong's small face was terribly pale, staring closely at Yi Jiangnan in front of him, he said that the most important person to ask about his father's life and death was Murong Yuchi.

Murong Yuchi's gentle eyebrows and eyes before he left appeared in her mind, he was already so important to her, and she had invested irrevocable affection for him.

How to make her believe Yi Jiangnan's words?It never occurred to her that he was telling the truth.

If it is true, why did Murong Yuchi do this?
There was disbelief in her eyes, which caused Yi Jiangnan to feel bitter, because she had something to do with Murong Yuchi, so she had such a reaction.

If it were Yi Jiangnan himself, he probably wouldn't be able to accept the reality immediately.

"Yi Jiangnan."

Hearing her slightly trembling voice, he frowned. Originally, he still had something to say, but when he saw her looking devastated, he decided to swallow it after thinking about it.

"Can you do me a favor?" She spoke dryly again.

In the secret room, Lian Liyang couldn't bear the repeated torture by the blood gu, and finally let go, but the place where the secret edict was stored was really hard to find.

There is only one place name, Yunya Mountain.

Murong Yuchi had been to a mountain near the junction of Mobei and the Western Regions when he was young, and looking for a secret edict from the rolling mountains was undoubtedly a needle in a haystack.

Using the blood gu to force Lian Liyang would mean killing him, Murong Huaixiu and Zong Ting were waiting for his orders.

Looking at the person who should have been given to death by him more than three years ago, Murong Yuchi stared coldly for a long time, "Let him go for now." In the past, he wouldn't care about this life at all, and now he doesn't care either. people.

"Tongtong, Tongtong..."

Murong Yuchi turned around and heard Lian Liyang vaguely calling Lian Yingtong's name.

"I canonized Tongtong, she is now my noble concubine."

Lian Liyang's whole body was tense, but it was a pity that his strength was too weak and he quickly collapsed. His tall and stooped body trembled violently, causing the iron chains piercing his hands and feet to rattle non-stop.

Although the blood gu has caused him to suffer inhuman torture, it has effectively cleared part of the poison in his body. Lian Liyang is not as crazy as before, and now sometimes he can recover a short period of clarity and remember some things that happened in the past.

"Why don't you let Tongtong go! If you want revenge, come at me, don't touch my daughter!"

"Revenge? She is my wife, and I will love her for the rest of my life."

"Love her all my life? If Tongtong wasn't my daughter, would the emperor have bought her himself and put her by his side to take good care of her?" Lian Liyang sneered, causing his body to tremble violently. blood.He could hardly feel the pain, and he laughed sadly with blood choked in his throat. "The first emperor was right. He said that the second son of the emperor will be more ruthless than him in the future. You already know about the secret edict. It's really perfect to investigate patiently and calmly for many years. My minister is convinced."

Murong Weichi's eyes were calm, "I did know that the late emperor left a secret edict, and that the Lian family had contributed to the court, but I must get rid of you, Lian Liyang, not because of personal grudges, but because I have to do so."

"So you promise Lan Xin to save Tongtong's life, and the emperor will wait a little longer. If the minister refuses to reveal the secret edict one day in the future, you can use Tongtong to threaten the minister!"

A strange light flashed across Murong Yuchi's dark eyes. At first he did have his own purpose for the arrangement. When he knew that the person he spared his life was Tongtong, he felt for the first time that it was fortunate that he had an unscrupulous motive at first. .

"She has been a poor child since she was born and grew up. Due to many scruples, I can't be nice to her openly. Your Majesty, I have already revealed the whereabouts of the secret edict. Please let the emperor spare Tong Tong and stop using her to threaten Wei. Minister!" Lian Liyang implored with dry voice.

General Xuanwei, who has never shed blood but never tears on the battlefield, begged Murong Yuchi in a low voice, almost humbled to the extreme.He has never been a good father, he feels pain for Tongtong but can't show it in the slightest.

When his consciousness is rarely clear, he wants to save his daughter's life.

"You are her biological uncle, you can't love her at all, but you want to marry Tongtong. Do you really love Tongtong, Your Majesty?"

Murong Yuchi wrote lightly, "She belongs to me, but you are already dead, and Tongtong has nothing to do with you in this life."

At this moment, Huai Xiu stepped in quickly and whispered something to Murong Yuchi, Murong Yuchi's face was cold, his deep eyes darkened, and Lian Liyang, who was begging bitterly, left this place.

As soon as he left the secret room, Murong Yuchi walked very fast, Murong Huaixiu followed him, after thinking twice, he opened his mouth and said, "The news from the spies has come, he has already returned to Nanming."

"Go down and receive the punishment yourself." Murong Yuchi said coldly.

"Yes." Murong Huaixiu didn't have the slightest objection to the punishment, he chose to protect his little niece's first-class dark guards, but let people leave Lingshan under his nose. "Brother Huang, my little niece..."

Murong Wei didn't say a word, at this point, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

When parting, Lian Yingtong leaned obediently in his arms and reluctantly parted. When they met again, Murong Yuchi's alluring and alluring face really reappeared before her eyes, and her heart ached inexplicably.

"Tongtong." He called her name hoarsely, and slowly opened his arms to her.

Lian Yingtong bit her lips in a daze, her thin and slender body stiffened, her clear water eyes stared at the charming smile on his lips.

When Murong Yuchi was gentle to her, she was really intoxicated with happiness, his love words lingered in her ears like a spell, every time she would be bewildered by him like this.

Still can't help approaching him, the habit has become an instinct.

Because she likes him, likes him so much, believes every word he says, believes that he loves her, and obeys him blindly and without self.

She was not like this before, but when she met Murong Yuchi, she changed, she was greedy and obsessed with his warmth and pampering, she even found excuses for herself to stay by his side.

Staring at him with red eyes from crying, Murong Yuchi reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, and his dark eyes stared at Lian Yingtong for a long time, capturing every subtle expression on her face.

She swallowed a few times with difficulty, the words she wanted to say lingered on her lips.

"Come in and we'll talk." Murong Yuchi carefully patted off her cloak Baixue, carried her into the warm bedroom.Take good care of her as always.

She put her palm on the back of his hand and pressed it, she rushed back to Nanming from Lingshan without authorization, normally Murong Yuchi was already angry, but this time he didn't say a word of reproach, he was as quiet as if he knew she would come back.

"What do you want to ask?"

His faint voice broke the silence, and his eyes met Lian Yingtong's. She couldn't help but tremble inwardly, and her doubts turned into chills in her heart.

On the way back, she thought about the various situations after the two met more than once, and she was anxious and panicked about the answer she was about to know.Will Murong Yuchi choose to lie to her, or tell the truth?
Is the truth acceptable to her after hearing it?or...

"why?"

Her question was really endless, but Murong Yuchi understood what she said, it is not easy to bring her out of the Lingshan Mountain without disturbing the hidden guards, and it is not easy for her to come back to question in a hurry. have what?
Murong Yuchi's deep eyes were extremely complicated and he said slowly, "Tongtong, do you love me?"

Lian Yingtong's watery eyes trembled even more violently.

Murong Yuchi was always like this, he avoided answering her questions directly when he didn't want to answer them, and when she asked in a hurry, he pestered her and coaxed her with gentle and sweet words until she suppressed all the questions in her belly.

His inadvertent words, movements, and even a glance can affect her heart and affect her emotions.

She had already depended on him deeply, cared about him, and couldn't help herself!

Lian Yingtong clearly understands her feelings for Murong Yuchi, but at this moment she needs to know the answer to this question.

"Is my father still alive?"

"Yes."

She staggered and took a few steps back. She was shocked, but she didn't expect him to answer so directly, without any detours. This man, who she had never been able to see through his mind, did not hide anything, and frankly surprised her.

"I want to see him." She pursed her lips and wiped away her tears vigorously.

"Not now." Murong Yuchi resolutely refused.

"What did you do to my father?" Lian Yingtong asked, since he was willing to tell her the truth, he prevented her from meeting her father again.

He frowned slightly, and reached out to stroke her head as before, "Be good."

She could do it before, but now Lian Yingtong can't satisfy her obedient waiting.

"I want to see Daddy!"

"It won't be good for anyone if you continue to make trouble." There was no threat in the slightest, she said it simply and casually, but just like that, she knew that Murong Yuchi was not joking. "The weather is cold, you rest first, then we can talk." Lian Yingtong was not allowed to say anything, he ordered the palace servants to prepare for her to stay.

She closed her eyelids, tears were sticking to her thick eyelashes, and she couldn't help trembling. She took a few steps forward and clutched his knuckles tightly at the corner of his clothes until they turned white. She tried her last bit of strength, and she didn't want to let go.

Murong Yuchi pressed his pale lips tightly, and opened her tightly clenched fingers one by one. Every time he loosened a finger, the sharp pain in his heart intensified.

Her pale and cold hand slipped from his wide palm, unable to lift the heavy hand, overwhelming sadness swept her whole body and mind.

"Hey, rest early." Murong Yuchi's cool lips were printed between her brows.

Is it because the heart hurts too much, so it gradually becomes numb and unconscious, Lian Yingtong always feels empty in the heart.

She seemed to be very tired and let out a long sigh, the mist rising from her eyes was hot and scalding, her posture was supple but very strong and she broke away from his embrace.

Tears finally couldn't help rolling down, "Uncle, I said that I'm not smart enough to understand your thoughts, but I know that you have treated me well and paid a lot for me, I always remember it clearly." She choked up and then slowly Slowly wiped away tears, "What I have never understood is why you love me disregarding ethics."

"Tongtong, what do you want to say?" Murong Yuchi restrained his smile and his voice was so calm that it was disturbing.

She stared into his eyes coldly, she was originally afraid of Murong Yuchi, but this time she met his terrifying gaze. "Uncle, congratulations on getting your secret edict. You raised me for three years, isn't it just for this moment?"

Concentrating his eyes coldly, the corners of Murong Yuchi's lips raised a cold arc, for that sentence.

You raised me for three years, isn't it just for this moment?
