The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 55

"His news is very good." Nangong Zheng took out a royal blue uniform from the closet, put it on his tall body calmly, and sneered.The black eyes at that moment were more depressed and deep than the night outside the door.

A blue light sedan chair gently stopped at the gate of the palace, Nan Gongzheng stepped off the sedan chair expressionlessly, and walked towards the brightly lit hall step by step.

The laughter in the Xuanming Palace has already begun, and the silk music can be heard from a long distance away, like the sound of heaven, and more like an evil melody that confuses everyone, making people feel a little dazed.

His footsteps stopped silently, and the next moment, another tune rang in his ears, very peaceful and soft, like flowers floating on the water, the gurgling stream carried a faint fragrance of flowers, such a clear sound and sense of smell , filled around him.

But those are just illusions.

His eyes dimmed, and he raised his head inadvertently. The figure standing not far away caught him by surprise.

Zhou Yan's body was buried in the night, he looked in the direction of Nan Gongzheng lightly, and finally the tacit understanding between the two friends prevailed, he nodded with a smile.

"Zhou Yan, you're back so soon?" Nangong Zheng walked forward with a smile curling his lips.

Looking straight into the pair of pupils that were darker and deeper than Mo, Zhou Yan's smile deepened. "Yes, Zheng, I'm back again."

"Is your marriage going well?" Nangong Zheng patted him on the shoulder with a rare warmth.

With a flash in his eyes, Zhou Yan's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and his tone sounded calm and prepared. "I didn't marry any woman."

"Why?" Nangong Zheng asked calmly with his eyes burning.

When Zhou Yan heard this, a series of laughter burst out of his throat, without any emotion. "There is no reason. I just don't want to get married too early. It feels good to be alone."

"As far as I know, your mother has been in poor health for a while, and you still disobey her wish?" With his eyes raised, Nangong Zheng's charming face seemed to have some complicated colors, and the bright moonlight On his body, an almost transparent light shone, making him look more and more different from ordinary people.

Zhou Yan smiled relieved when he heard the words, his gentle tone was still gentle, not rushing. "Of course I want to fulfill my mother's wish, but not this."

"Zhou Yan." Nan Gongzheng was able to read some extremely firm emotions from Zhou Yan's eyes, which were as hard as iron and hotter than flames.

Zhou Yan shouldn't have made such a decision if he had taken into account the friendship between the two of them.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan continued to speak, without hesitation, so sure. "I want to take her to see my mother."

"Say it again." Nangong Zhengjun frowned, with a cold expression on his face. Taking her to see his relatives was a blatant act against him.

"Of course I want to make it clear. I know that you are not such a ruthless person, but you are so harsh and cruel to a weak woman. If you keep her in the palace, you will die sooner or later." Zhou Yan always had a gentle face. , suddenly restrained his smile, leaving only a bit dignified and serious.

"You mean, I will personally kill my own concubine?" Nangong Zheng sneered, it was really ridiculous. If he wanted her to die, would she be able to live safely until four months later?
Zhou Yan didn't give in, his tone was cold. "You may have your reasons."

His eyes narrowed, hiding his true emotions: "Of course I have my reasons."

Zhou Yan nodded and smiled, somewhat helplessly. "So you won't let her go, so let me take the risk."

In the past ten days since he left the capital, he had thought carefully enough, and he knew that this decision was correct.

"She is not a humble servant girl in the palace. It is a joke that you want to take her away." Nan Gongzheng looked away, and his eyes fell on the winding corridor of the palace. Swaying, graceful and beautiful.

Zhou Yan stood behind him, looking at his back, unable to see through his expression, whether he was unusually calm and composed. "This marriage was originally a good story of a golden and jade romance. But now, you are like enemies, why bother to hate each other and hold on?"

"I want me to give up?" Nangong Zheng asked in a low voice from the wind.

Zhou Yan really didn't understand the other party's reaction. He was even more unwilling to admit that he was a good friend. He actually had the despicable character of a secular man. He would rather the flowers wither in his own hands than plant them in the free fields.

"This so-called good fate is just a burden imposed on you by the emperor. It's like tasteless food. Why don't you give up?"

Hearing this, the word "cumbersome" struck Nangong Zheng's chest hard.His eyes still did not leave those exquisite and gorgeous palace lanterns, and the peony lantern in Su Min's hand that night seemed to catch his eyes again.

"Zhou Yan, you actually don't know anything." His eyes became more unpredictable, and the chill on his whole body became heavier, as if he came covered in thick ice and snow.

His face was covered with a shadow, and his tone turned sharply, becoming extremely cold. "You have only met her a few times. You fell in love with her because of her piano sound. What do you talk about most? Qin art? Playing the piano? Playing and playing, let's start talking about love."

Turning around suddenly, Nan Gongzheng looked at him coldly, his eyes were filled with burning flames, which made people tremble with fear. "You think you are Boya and Ziqi? You are her bosom friend, and she is his Xieyuhua?"

These words are very heavy.

Explain, has he invested real emotion in that woman?If so, why not love him sincerely, instead, torture him in every possible way?

All these appearances became blurred, and Zhou Yan felt as if he was also a bystander standing on the edge, unable to see the truth.

Withdrawing from his thoughts, Zhou Yan's expression sank, he stared at Nangong Zheng's face for a long time, and responded coldly. "There is a clean and bright relationship between us. I just can't stand it. You treat her as a criminal and imprison and bully her!"

"Of course she's guilty." His indifferent gaze brushed Zhou Yan's brows, his cold-blooded demeanor was almost devilish.

"Even if it is a gift of marriage, it can be separated..." Seeing that Nan Gongzheng was still obsessed with it, Zhou Yan made the final decision, and suddenly turned and walked towards Xuanming Hall.

"You want to talk to the emperor about this?" Nan Gongzheng stood in front of Zhou Yan with a flash, his eyes were gloomy and couldn't be more serious.

"I said before that she is a woman very similar to my sister. If my elder brother can let it go, then I am not a good person." Zhou Yan's brows were covered with a little anger. Never do this kind of bullying.

The estrangement between the two arose at this moment, and it was also the first time that Zhou Yan stood opposite Nangong Zheng, and the two sides could not stand each other.

Good people.

What a distant word.

Nangong Zheng's deep black eyes were full of undercurrents, and he couldn't stop the increasingly cold emotions. "Well said. You all have humanity, but this king is a cruel and ruthless devil."

"There's no need to tell the emperor, she's not in the mansion long ago." His thin lips raised a faint smile, his strange expression at the moment was somewhat frightening.

Zhou Yan's expression was full of disbelief: "You let her go?"

"During my visit to Nandu, she encountered an accident, and now her life or death is uncertain." Nangong Zheng turned sideways, his face against the light, as if there was no expression of emotion, and he almost talked about a trifle that had nothing to do with him indifferently.

Feeling the blazing gaze around him, staying on him, his black eyes sparkled, and he said coldly. "What? Do you suspect that I killed her secretly, and the thief called for a thief?"

Zhou Yan's eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish, and he uttered that sentence with difficulty. "I don't want to doubt you."

"I don't want others to know about this for the time being. I'll talk about it after I find out the facts." Nan Gongzheng didn't seem to want to talk more, so he just said it.

"You already have someone to suspect?" Zhou Yan was a little uneasy. This time, what she encountered seemed to be a more tragic fate than the same bed and different dreams.

"Tomorrow will encircle and suppress the Black Mountain Army. These elite soldiers have lived in the countryside since childhood, and are very familiar with the steep and difficult mountain roads. And the Black Mountain Army has only 200 people. It is not difficult to destroy them." He has already made a complete plan Deployment, this time, we must find the old nest of the Black Mountain Army, and we will not give up.

"There are already many women from good families who have been taken away by the Black Mountain Army. They are becoming more and more rampant and inhumane. If she really falls into the hands of the Black Mountain Army." Zhou Yan's heart tightened, and he dared not think about it.

If she was humiliated by those rude and arrogant bandit leaders, her heart would really not be saved.Zhou Yan's brows tightened even more, this sad news is really chilling.

"Anyone who touches her will die in an ugly way." Nangong Zheng looked at the bright and flawless moon, as cold as ten thousand years of ice.

There was a rush of footsteps around, and in order to prevent the wall from having ears, Nan Gongzheng resumed his silence and looked at the light in the distance.

Seeing that the two men were here, Xiao Fuzi couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, with a sophisticated smile still on his face.

"My lord, the king of the county, you are all here. The banquet is about to begin. Are you two still not leaving? The warm jade dragon wine served at the banquet is specially prepared by the emperor for you. You must get drunk before you sleep."

"Trouble father-in-law to lead the way."

Zhou Yan smiled lightly, and his expression returned to calm.

The two stepped into the Xuanming Hall together, the emperor looked at the scene in front of him, did not get up, and said with a smile. "I thought you two misread the time and didn't come so late. It turned out that you agreed to enter the palace together."

"I heard from my father-in-law that the emperor has prepared the best wine. The prince and I have been whetted." Naturally, it is not difficult to hear the displeasure in the emperor's tone. Zhou Yan smiled calmly and calmly.

"Then don't get drunk and don't return, come here, and fill the prince and the county king with wine." The emperor's elegant face was flushed somewhat abnormally, as if he had drunk a lot of fine wine.He was in a trance, waved his hands, and called the maid to pour wine.
