Moonlight Allure

Chapter 14 The Bane
It was already dark, and the wind at night was very cold and gloomy.

In the quiet gazebo, she sat quietly in the wheelchair.Looking at the sparkling center of the lake, the moonlight shines on the lake, and the night wind blows golden rays of light, slightly rippling.

The black silk like ink fluttered lightly, interlacing with the white clothes in the air.Behind him stood two pretty maids, quietly guarding the side.

This is a secluded place overflowing from the imperial palace, she did not go back from behind the main hall, but let Huansha push her to this secluded pavilion.Looking at the leaves drifting with the wind, looking at the lush trees.Looking at the swaying flower branches in the distance.There can't be a single ripple in her calm and clear eyes.The two-way light eyes were actually a little dull and empty at this moment.

It has been two months since she came to this world, but she still can't forget everything in the past, the man she loves deeply but hurts her the most.A word or an expression from anyone can revive her suppressed memory again.So clear, so real.

He lowered his head, with bitterness and self-mockery in his eyes.Haoran, why?You and I are no longer from the same world, why can't I forget you?Why, your figure is always everywhere?Obviously you hurt me so deeply, but why can't I hate you?
Now, you should have married your fiancée, and you should be very happy.I keep telling myself to forget you completely.But why?The more I want to forget, the clearer my memory is?Is it because I love you too much, or is it because I am too persistent?What was the oath you made to me back then?How can you veto everything so easily?Why are you hurting me by saying that you just treat me like a sister?Why?
She sat there blankly, completely unaware of everything around her.Until Huansha and Xiaoyu's somewhat surprised voices sounded
"Slaves see the Second Prince"

The phoenix eyes moved slightly, but did not look back.

"Get up." Xiao Ziqiu glanced lightly over Huansha and Xiaoyu, and heard Luo Qingyan with his back turned to him.In such a night, in such a cold wind.Her figure looked so thin, so...distressing.

Huansha and Xiaoyu looked at each other, then backed away.

The sound of footsteps approached slowly, but she still didn't turn her head, she just said lightly, "Is it over?"

Xiao Ziqiu looked at her side face bathed in the moonlight, without that eye-catching scar, it was even more beautiful than the full moon in the night sky, which made him feel dazed for a moment.If she didn't have that scar on her face, she would be so beautiful.

Sighing lightly, hiding the ripples in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Not yet."

"Then why did the second prince come here to blow the cold wind?" She kept her eyes fixed on the lake surface soaked in moonlight, as ethereal and psychedelic as a bright moon rising from the sea.

Xiao Ziqiu smiled warmly, and looked at the woman beside him: "Isn't it the same for Miss Luo?"

She didn't speak anymore, her eyes were silent, her expression was indifferent, as if she had left the world.About half a quarter of an hour later, she reached out and took out an orchid-shaped jade pendant from her bosom.The moonlight shone on the jade pendant, reflecting a pink-blue light.Xiao Ziqiu's eyes were stunned, and there was some surprise and disbelief in his eyes, and even a trace of inexplicable emotion.

Why is Shang's jade pendant in her hand?Recalling everything in the hall just now, it is clear in my heart.Junmei frowned imperceptibly.

Luo Qingyan handed the orchid-shaped jade pendant to Xiao Ziqiu: "When we entered the palace just now, my father and I met Lord Ling at the gate of the palace. Later, I picked up this jade pendant on the ground. I didn't look at it. Since father has worn this jade pendant, it must belong to Master Ling." After hearing these words, Xiao Ziqiu's doubts dissipated immediately, it seems that he was overthinking.

"Although the little girl is not very proficient in jade, you can also tell that this jade pendant is definitely not a mortal thing." A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.Looking at Xiao Ziqiu, she said: "I have heard that the second prince is on good terms with Master Ling. I would like to ask the second prince to pass it on for you. I am very grateful."Anyway, at the gate of the palace today, many people saw Ling Jueshang greeting his father.It's not surprising that she lost the jade pendant, but it's just a coincidence that she picked it up.Even if Xiao Ziqiu asked Ling Jueshang for proof afterwards, she was not afraid.Even if Ling Jueshang told him the truth, so what?At most, it would be known that she, a woman, left a strange man in her room late at night, which would tarnish her reputation.She doesn't mind what others say behind her back.Besides, if Xiao Ziqiu really went to ask Ling Jueshang for proof, Ling Jueshang would never tell the truth.At any rate, she also saved him. She doesn't ask him to be grateful to Dade, but just asks him not to avenge his kindness.

That jade pendant, her intuition told her, was not as simple as an ordinary accessory.So she can't accept it, but if she wants to return it to Ling Jueshang in person, he will definitely not take it back.Therefore, it would be best to hand it over to Xiao Ziqiu and let her hand it over on her behalf.

Xiao Ziqiu took the jade pendant, and asked why Luo Qingyan didn't return it in person.He just understood it as a woman's shyness, and didn't think much about it.

"Miss Luo, you're being polite, it's just a matter of raising your hands." He held the jade pendant in his hand and stood up with a faint smile.The moonlight poured on his jade-like face, which seemed to have a kind of transparent beauty.The smile on the corner of his mouth became softer.Such a gentle and beautiful man, no wonder he can attract so many women, even Luo Qingcheng is no exception.

She looked at the hazy moonlight in the night sky, her eyes were a little dazed
"People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes; this matter is difficult in ancient times, I hope that people will live a long time and share the joys and joys of thousands of miles" she murmured, which made Xiao Ziqiu's calm expression a little surprised.He looked sideways again, staring at her side face, with a hint of searching in his eyes.Judging from her performance today, there is a big gap between her and the rumors.It is not easy to read such an intriguing poem just now.

His bright black pupils flickered, and the luster in his eyes was meaningful, but he didn't ask any questions, he just stood beside her lightly, without any words

The silence speaks!

And in the shadows where they can't see, where the trees shade.A pair of deep eyes kept staring at the two white figures standing and sitting in the gazebo.The moonlight shone on them, and they turned out to be an indescribable match.Involuntarily, a trace of gloom and displeasure flashed in the bottom of the black eyes, but I don't know why?After a while, he turned his head and left resolutely.The wind blew a corner of his clothes.The faint moon white slowly blended with the moonlight until it disappeared completely.

As if feeling something, Luo Qingyan glanced back, only to see Huansha and Xiaoyu walking over.Dai frowned, the aura just now didn't belong to the two of them.

That person's eyes were full of probing, questioning, puzzled, puzzled, and even a trace of... hostility?Definitely not Huansha and Xiaoyu.But who would they be?

While thinking about it, Huansha and Xiaoyu had already walked over: "Miss, the banquet seems to be over. I just saw the master and wife have come out from a distance, let's go back too," she said softly
Luo Qingyan nodded, and Huansha stood behind her.First saluted Xiao Ziqiu, then pushed Luo Qingyan out of his sight slowly...

It wasn't until the white shadow had disappeared into the night that he looked back with some reluctance.His expression was indifferent and alienated, and he didn't look back.He just said lightly to the air, "Come out."

The figure in the dark seemed to tremble, and then, the sound of the tree shadow dancing was heard.Then, a figure of Pingting stepped out from the grass beside the path.

The eyebrows are like a crescent moon, and the eyes are like autumn water.Gu Pan is full of posture and affection.The figure is slim and peerless, and the face is alluring and beautiful.She looked at Xiao Ziqiu with obvious love and resentment in her eyes.

Seeing the person coming, Xiao Ziqiu didn't seem surprised, he just called out faintly: "Third siblings"

Hearing this claim, Luo Qingcheng was startled.His eyes were full of desolation.With trembling steps, she walked slowly towards him.There were crystal tears in his eyes.She stared at his handsome face and the undisguised alienation in his eyes.My heart hurts like being pricked by a needle.

There was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth: "Do you have to be so indifferent to me?"

Xiao Ziqiu had a smile in his eyes, gentle but indifferent: "It's getting late, the third brother and sister should go back earlier, so as not to worry about the three places." After he finished speaking, he was about to walk away.Of course.Luo Qingcheng grabbed his sleeve.The handsome eyebrows frowned, and he withdrew his hand lightly, with a distant look on his face: "My brother and sister are getting more strict." Seeing Luo Qingcheng's instantly pale face, he could only sigh slightly.How could he not know Luo Qingcheng's feelings for him?It's just that she is already the wife of the third brother, and the two of them will definitely not have any results.Besides, he has no affection for her.

"Ziqiu..." Luo Qingcheng called softly, moving her lips.Eyes filled with uncontrollable pain and sorrow
Xiao Ziqiu sighed lightly, and said, "Sister and brother, you should call me second brother."

"Second brother?" Luo Qingcheng smiled wryly, the sadness in his eyes was like a torrent that lasted for a long time.She hid in the dark and watched him and Yan Er look so harmonious together.When he looked at Yan'er, the tenderness in his eyes made her heart ache.For so many years, she has never seen him take the initiative to talk to a woman, and she has never seen him show such tenderness and pity to a woman.She really wanted to deceive herself and tell herself that Ziqiu was kind, but she just sympathized with Yan'er's disabled feet and disfigured face.However, at the same time, there was another voice speaking in her heart.Ziqiu treats Yan Er differently, very differently...

She took a deep breath and asked, "If the Queen Mother hadn't mentioned the marriage at the beginning, then we..." There was hope in her eyes
"No ifs" Xiao Ziqiu interrupted her fantasy lightly: "Qingcheng, you are Ziqi's wife, my younger brother and sister, you will always be"

Luo Qingcheng staggered back two steps, and looked at the resolute Xiao Ziqiu in disbelief: "Why? You hate me so much?" She asked tremblingly
Xiao Ziqiu smiled lightly: "No, I don't hate you"

Her eyes lit up all of a sudden, and she walked over: "Then, then you..."

"You are the second brother's wife, and we are one family." He interrupted Luo Qingcheng's next words.

The water eyes that were as bright as stars just now dimmed suddenly, she stared blankly at the man she had been obsessed with since she was a child, and asked subconsciously: "You...do you like...you like Yan'er?"

Xiao Ziqiu was stunned, his eyes slightly blank and surprised, but he didn't deny it, just remained silent.

Seeing his expression, Luo Qingcheng took two steps back dejectedly.Tears finally slipped down from the eye sockets, melting the sadness all over the place.

"Why?" asked almost heart-piercingly: "Why? Yan'er, what makes her better than me? Tell me?"

Xiao Ziqiu just glanced at her indifferently, with a calm expression, and did not answer her question.Because he didn't know how to answer, he couldn't tell how he felt about that woman in white clothes.Like it?he does not know.All he knew was that the woman made him feel distressed.

Turn around and leave resolutely.His faint voice came from the air: "It's windy at night, brothers and sisters should go back to rest earlier." Then his elegant and graceful figure slowly disappeared into the night.

Luo Qingcheng was still standing where he was, staring blankly at the direction he left.His eyes were dull and lifeless, and his face was as pale as snow.A gust of cold wind blew back her lax mind.

Clenched her hand tightly, and her nails slashed fiercely across her palm.Blood slowly flowed down the white and smooth skin and fell to the ground.Mixed with the soft moonlight, it turned out to be such a strange, melancholy and bright red color.

At the same time, hatred is slowly growing.Jealousy, like a raging fire in the sky, spreads rapidly.Her eyes were cold and vicious, and her eyes were full of hatred and desolation.

Yan'er, why you?Why is that you?
She looked up and took a deep breath.When he opened his eyes, there was already an undisturbed tranquility in his eyes.Then, she walked away slowly with graceful steps.That back, sad and determined...

After she left, another figure came out from the grass on the other side.A pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, looking at Luo Qingcheng's leaving back.His eyes were full of playful smiles.The arc drawn at the corner of the mouth is so ironic and mocking.Then, the peach blossom eyes flashed, and the interesting luster flowed through the eyes.

It seems that there is a good show to watch!There was an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.Then, he left in a good mood.

The night gradually spread, covering everything.Only occasionally when the breeze passes by, the moonlight shines on the grass and trees, and the bright blood still exudes a vicious light that swallows everything...
