Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 151 The Luscious Temptation

Eunuch Yu opened the door for me to see, and then I saw clearly that the number of guards outside Chengqian Hall has nearly doubled!
This is--

"You have to know that these days, all the ministers in the court are looking forward to your death. Of course they are willing to punish you if you can declare the canon. It is really a last resort. It is much easier to kill a person in the palace than to push out the Meridian Gate and behead him."

My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly understood.

Yes, I knew it from the bowl of poisoned soup. Besides, I am afraid that it is not only the ministers, even Nangong Yu has murdered me. Although the people around him did not make a move, they can see it at a glance. Come out, they are all masters!
If they were going to kill me, it would almost be easy.

Eunuch Yu said again: "Besides, the competition between you and Miss Guan Guan is not over yet. Your Highness has not accepted the gift from the Nangong family, but when your injury heals, you still have to continue the competition."

"Better than what?"

"I heard that it's swordsmanship."

My heart skipped a beat—swordsmanship?
It seems that Nangong Yu came prepared to enter the palace this time, and he was determined to win. No wonder Ling Shaoyang didn't let me leave Chengqian Hall. If I fight, the outcome is uncertain, but as the prince of the supervisory country, he cannot afford to lose this battle of!

When I think of this, I have no choice but to be fair to Duke Yu: "Then, His Majesty, please help me to worry about it."

"Don't worry, this is the duty of an old slave." Seeing that I agreed, Eunuch Yu put down a big stone in his heart, and with a smile on his face, he turned to leave.Just two steps away, he suddenly stopped and looked back at me, hesitating to speak: "Princess, you—"

"Ok?"

He hesitated for a while, and finally said: "These days, the prince has a lot of things on his mind, and now the third highness is still in the camp and can't come back, and there is no one around him...Princess, treat him better Bar."

After speaking, he turned and walked out.

And I was stunned in place—be nicer to Ling Shaoyang?
I don't know why, I always feel that this is a joke, but I can't laugh.

He and I have already come to this point, so what's the point of saying that we are better for each other?

However, just as Eunuch Yu said, the burden on his heart is very heavy, and there are many things on his shoulders. It took him a whole day to leave, and when he returned to Chengqian Palace, it was already late at night.

Seeing him walk into the hall with a tired face, his eyes looked around eagerly, as if looking for something, when he saw me sitting on the couch in an orderly manner, raised my head and looked at him calmly, A relaxed expression immediately appeared on his face, and what seemed to be a smile flashed in his eyes.

After serving him to wash and change clothes, everyone retreated, and there was only one candle left in the empty hall, which flickered on and off, shining on the two of us.

He walked slowly to the side of the couch, turned over and lay down on it.

I sat next to me, thinking for a long time, and was about to ask about the sword competition, but he closed his eyes, reached out and patted the empty space beside him: "Lie down."

"..."

I bit my lower lip and lay down slowly.

He didn't hold me tonight, there were inches between the two of us.But even at such a distance, I can still feel his body temperature slowly coming from every inch of skin and slowly penetrating into my body.For some reason, lying quietly like this, leaving behind everything in the past, the two of them seemed to have returned to their original state.

There is no love or hate, no filth, some—just strange plainness.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard his low voice in his ears: "I won't let you go to a sword contest with them."

I slowly turned my head to look at him, and he also turned to look at me. Under the dim light, his eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky.

"It's impossible for Nangong Yu to let you win, and the people in the court may have had contact with him long ago."

My heart moved, and I couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat—could they take advantage of this sword fight to kill me?

If this is the case, it will not only get rid of me, get rid of the thorn in the side of the military ministers, but also allow Nangong Yu to get the result he wants, then it will really kill two birds with one stone.

It seems that this sword is incomparable no matter what.

But if this is the case - how much pressure and non-parliamentation is there, for a prince who supervises the country, can he withstand it?

I was about to ask, but I heard the sound of even breathing coming from my ears. I took a closer look and found that he had closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

His sleeping face is also tired, his handsome face is very pale, there are faint shadows under his eyes, even the brows are not relaxed, and the traces left by a slight frown can still be seen - he is really tired.

I didn't talk anymore, but for some reason, I couldn't sleep at all tonight. I was still awake until the middle of the night. I could only get out of bed lightly, without shoes, and put on a thin gauze and went barefoot. walked out.

It was already pitch black outside, and I couldn't see the guards, but I knew that there must be many shadow guards watching me in the dark.

As for me, I could only stand in the empty courtyard in front of the main hall, illuminated by the full moon in the sky, and the moonlight like water sprinkled on my body, and followed the moonlight to look in a familiar direction - Yanfu Hall.

I don't know if he sleeps there alone, whether it's cold or not, without me by his side, will he also feel -- the feeling of loneliness.

"Chu Feng..."

Just as I was silently chanting his name, a clear voice suddenly came from behind, and slowly chanted: "It seems that this star is not from last night, for whom is the wind and dew standing in the middle of the night?"

I turned around, and saw a slender figure approaching under the moonlight, that curly golden hair seemed to be covered with a layer of silver tulle, which made that face look like a heavenly being.

Off?

"Your Highness," she walked over with a smile, "Guan Guan is here to thank you for saving your life."

I smiled lightly. If I saw her for the first time, she was just a beautiful dancer, but now I know that if Nangong Yu can bring her into the palace to present to Ling Shaoyang, she will definitely not be an ordinary dancer from the Western Regions. .

So, he smiled politely: "A few trivial things are nothing to worry about."

After I finished speaking, I turned around and walked back. Just as I took a step, I heard her say from behind: "Just now, the princess seemed to be calling someone's name. If Guan Guan heard correctly, it was Qinglong Emperor's name. ?"

My steps froze slightly, but I didn't stop, and continued to walk forward.

Guan Guan said leisurely behind my back: "I heard that Emperor Qinglong was succumbing to the power of the medicine of wolf and tiger, lost consciousness, and became a useless person. I didn't expect that the princess would never leave him. This feeling is really moving. Makes people cry."

"..."

"The princess has saved Guan Guan's life. If possible, Guan Guan also hopes to help the princess find an antidote and save him from danger."

My steps stopped suddenly.

Turning her head slowly, she looked at her smile slowly rising under the moonlight, like a orchid suddenly blooming.

Beautiful, but weird.

I tried my best to calm myself down. I know that any decision at this time needs careful consideration, especially when Guan Guan is Nangong Yu. How could she really want to help me?Maybe she's just trying to take advantage of my weakness, maybe she's just trying to break me down...

However, no matter how reminded, I still did not resist the luscious temptation.Finally couldn't bear it and asked, "You said, the antidote?"

Guan Guan immediately laughed, that smile looked extremely charming under the moonlight: "Maybe the princess doesn't know yet, the source of the opportunistic poison in Qinglong Emperor is unknown, but the Dragon and Tiger Renewing Life Pill is from the Nangong family. made by people."

My heart moved.

It turned out that the Dragon and Tiger Renewing Life Pill was made by the people of the Nangong family, so they must be very clear about the root cause of the backlash of the medicine, and they must be able to resist the medicine of this wolf and tiger medicine!

At this time, my mind suddenly flashed, and I looked at Guan Guan again, and I understood it all at once.

She was sent by Nangong Yu to persuade me - if you want to kill me, it may be easy for the people of the Nangong family, but they can't get the result they want, and let me obediently agree to the sword competition, open and aboveboard After winning this game, Ling Shaoyang's position could no longer be maintained.

But before me, is a most difficult choice.

If I agree to the sword competition, if I lose, Ling Shaoyang will give up his political views, which also means that my homeland will suffer another war!

If I don't agree, Chu Feng, will he just lie there like this, ignorant, until the end of his life?

"Princess, think about it slowly."

Guan Guan smiled and gave me a blessing, and was about to back away. Seeing that her figure was about to hide in the darkness, I stopped her and asked, "Guan Guan, do you keep your word?"

She laughed: "His Royal Highness, Mr. Nangong is also a great figure in the East, he speaks his word, and he is not inferior to the king."

"it is good."

I nodded and stopped talking, and she didn't say anything, turned and left.

After Guan Guan left, I was still standing in front of the main hall, looking at the quiet palace in the distance, motionless.

The spring cold is still there, standing barefoot on the cold bluestone slab, the cold air gradually penetrates into the body, making me shiver slightly.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a familiar breath coming from behind me. Before I could look back, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out and hugged me horizontally. Into a warm and solid chest.

As soon as he looked up, he saw his thin and handsome face looked extraordinarily cold under the moonlight.

Ling Shaoyang didn't look at me, but just looked at the front blankly, until he hugged me back to the couch, those moonlight eyes looked at me condescendingly, and those strong arms supported me on the couch, holding me imprisoned under him.

There was no expression on his face, making it difficult to know whether he was forbearance or anger, but being pressed under him in such a posture and looking at him with that gaze, I still flinched a little.

After a long silence, I finally spoke slowly: "Have you ever thought about it, maybe, I can beat her."

"You can't beat her."

"why?"

He was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Do you know Guan Guan's true identity?"

I shook my head, and only heard him say word by word: "Her original name is Shui Mingji."

Sui Minghee?water?
Meeting my astonished eyes, he continued: "One of the three great aristocratic families in the Central Plains, her elder sister, Shui Xunyou, is the water that flows like clouds and flowing water. The Shui family has been in the White Tiger Kingdom for three generations, and Shui Xunyou can be ranked among the flowing waters, except for her. It’s also because of her excellent swordsmanship, and Sui Mingji is her half-sister, what do you think of her swordsmanship?”

It turned out that he went to investigate Guan Guan's life experience all day today, and he really didn't expect that a dancing girl has such a big background!
I thought about it and said, "Even so, it's not like I have no chance of winning."

"..."

He fell silent suddenly.

I looked up at him with some doubts, the room was so dark, half of his silhouette was merged into the dim light, only a pair of bright eyes, as calm as a frozen lake.

I understood it all at once.

He is a person with a crazy desire for power, but if Chu Feng wakes up, all his current power will be taken back. Although the crown prince and the emperor are only one step away, they are worlds apart!

Maybe--

He didn't want his father to wake up at all!

I gently pushed his hand away and turned over to stand up, when a hot hand stretched out and grabbed my wrist.

I didn't look back, just stood silently.

After a while, he heard a somewhat hoarse voice in his ears: "You have to know that the Minister of Military Aircraft exerted a lot of pressure in this competition, and it is obvious that he has already negotiated the terms with Nangong Yu. You want Bi, life or death, are you willing to exchange for that possibility?"

I am willing, because the man lying in Yanfu Palace is the man I love the most in my life!

I bit my lower lip, but I didn't say that, I just looked back at him and nodded solemnly: "Yes."

His eyes suddenly turned black.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly got up, picked up a long sword with a cold light, and then handed the hilt to my hand. I was stunned and looked up at him.

"you--"

He walked behind me, bent down slowly, put one arm around my waist, and raised my sword hand with the other, then lowered his head and whispered in my ear: "Since Guan Guan is representing the Nangong family, To fight, they should also use their swordsmanship."

"..."

"You have to remember that the Nangong family's swordsmanship has fourteen characters, which are split, stab, point, lift, collapse, cut, wipe, pierce, pick, circle, lift, wring, sweep and cut."

As he spoke, he held my hand and slowly displayed the skill of controlling the sword. The sword turned into a cold light in our hands, sometimes piercing like a snake, sometimes slashing like the wind, his heaving chest pressed against me On the back, the two of them were like twins, their white sleeves fluttering in the air, accompanied by a cold light, like a pair of butterfly wings.

Where the sword energy passes by, the room is filled with light.

When the last stab was made, the long sword emitted a strong sword energy, pointing directly at the candle in the palm of the bronze lady——

With a scoff, the candle was extinguished.

The entire hall was plunged into darkness.

His heavy breathing hit my neck with hot breath, and his hands were still tightly wrapped around my waist, and I could almost feel the gushing power from this strong body behind me.

At this moment, I heard his heartbeat, which was so strong that it seemed to be right next to my ear, and he slowly lowered his head, his scorching breath hit his cheeks, almost scalding me slightly, trying to escape.

At this moment, I heard his low voice, saying something I couldn't understand——

"No one except my father!"

After speaking, he suddenly let go of me, turned around and walked out without looking back. When I turned around in astonishment, I only saw him open the door, and the familiar figure disappeared into the dark night.

No one but Chu Feng?

What do you mean?
I didn't understand at all, I stood stupidly in the empty hall, these words kept echoing in my ears, as if something was clearly in front of my eyes, but it was always separated by a cloud of mist, I couldn't see through it no matter how I looked at it .

I wanted to wait for him to explain, to tell him what he meant when he came back, but I waited until dawn, but a message came.

Three days later, Guan Guan and I will have a sword fight outside the Hall of Qingsi!
This competition was just a joke of the prince from the beginning, but until now, the meaning and nature have been completely different. The comparison has already been weighed over and over again, and winning or winning is even more related to the prince's future political actions. Even, it is related to the future of Qinglong Kingdom.

But I, in the center of this storm, was the calmest.

Three days later, the competition was held as scheduled.

When I walked to the spacious open space outside the Qingsi Hall, seats for civil and military officials were already filled on both sides. Although there were many people, they didn't even hear a cough. Everyone was looking at me with burning eyes. Among them, there is no lack of complacency, looking at me as if looking at a corpse.

Right in front of the main hall is a viewing platform. Looking up, Ling Shaoyang has already sat firmly on it, and Nangong Yu is sitting on his lower hand.

As soon as he saw me go, a faint light flashed in his eyes.

I also nodded slightly towards him.

At this time, Guan Guan came out from behind Nangong Yu. Today she was wearing a smart plain dress, her long golden hair was tied up high, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck. With an extraordinary heroism, he walked up to me and said with a smile: "Princess, please be merciful."

I smiled lightly: "I dare not do that."

She raised her eyebrows and didn't speak, but when she looked at me, she understood everything.

At this moment, all the people arrived at their seats. Ling Shaoyang glanced at me and waved his hand lightly. Eunuch Yu immediately stepped forward from behind him and said loudly: "The competition begins!"

With this order, Guan Guan and I raised the long swords in our hands horizontally at the same time, bowing our knees slightly towards the other party.

Just after finishing this ceremony, Guan Guan threw the long sword violently, reached out and held the hilt of the sword, only heard the sound of "Cang", the long sword came out of its sheath, like a poisonous snake poking a hole, it quickly stabbed towards my eyebrow !

What a quick move!
I was startled, turned around in a hurry, and pierced through my ear and temple with the long sword, only heard a few hisses, and a strand of long hair fluttered down, and the long sword suddenly flipped in her hand, and drew out A perfect arc turned towards my neck!
At this moment, I slammed my sword out of its sheath, and made a backhand to block——

I only heard the crisp sound of "Dang", and the long sword was caught by me!
The two swords collided with each other, making a sharp and piercing sound.

Guan Guan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "The reaction is not slow."

At this moment, I was not in the mood to make a joke at all, and I just blocked her sword back with all my strength. At this moment, she suddenly retracted her strength, twisted her long arm like a water snake, and the sharp sword made a sound under such momentum. The ear-shattering dragon chant unexpectedly produced several cold stars, hitting towards my face, chest, shoulders, and several large acupoints!
This is the twist, circle, and point in the fourteen-character formula!

Guan Guan, no, it should be Shui Mingji, she is indeed from a noble family, and she uses a sword so delicately, if it's me who is normal, I'm afraid it's hard to resist!
But at this moment, I felt as if there was a person behind me, his big warm hand was attached to the back of my hand, with just a light touch, my wrist turned over, and the long sword was struck out, only a few crisp sounds were heard, Blocked her attack abruptly, and at the same time, I took advantage of the situation and swung a sword in the air. Taking advantage of the situation, the long sword was like a rainbow, and the sword energy pointed straight at her throat!

Guan Guan's face changed slightly, he hurriedly changed his moves, dodged the blow hastily, retreated seven or eight steps before barely supporting his body.

At this time, Nangong Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

And myself, looking at the long sword humming in my hand, was also a little surprised.

Every move and style Ling Shaoyang taught me was aimed at, or restrained the Nangong family's swordsmanship, which obviously cannot be obtained overnight!
Why did he study the way to crack the Nangong family's swordsmanship?

I glanced at him subconsciously, his face still had no expression, it was terribly cold.

At this time, Guan Guan laughed: "As expected of Princess Ruyi, she managed to master the method of restraining me in such a short period of time. It's no wonder that you are ranked above her."

Of course I knew who she was referring to.

"However, you try this!"

As soon as the words fell, her posture suddenly changed, her figure moved like lightning, and she was already in front of my eyes.

So fast!

In the blink of an eye, the long sword stabbed at me more than a dozen times. It was completely different from the previous tactical swordsmanship. It changed so quickly, which was really amazing. The attacks are resolved one by one!

Gradually, I retreated to the front of Qingsi Hall.

At this moment, a chief guard suddenly ran over from the side door in a hurry, knelt down in front of Ling Shaoyang, and said out of breath, "His Royal Highness, the prison was robbed, and Mo Yunyi's whereabouts are unknown!"

"what?!"

The dungeon was robbed? !
I was taken aback, my hand froze, at this time Guan Guan's long sword was already slashing straight at me, I staggered, I tripped over the stone steps, and my whole body slammed into the gate of Qingsi Hall!
Her sword didn't stop at all, she pointed straight at the center of my brow and pierced towards me, and behind me was the solid bamboo gate!

There is no going back!
I opened my eyes wide and saw that the long sword had turned into a flash of lightning, and it was about to pierce my eyebrows. Ling Shaoyang's canthus cracked, and he roared: "Xingsi—!"

Amidst the roar, I suddenly heard a loud bang behind me.

door, open!
