Distressed Concubine

Chapter 31
Seeing her lips clinging together, she closed her eyes tightly, turned her head quickly at the last moment, Ye Yun's kiss stuck to the corner of her lips, and finally kissed her cheek.

But she let out a long breath in her heart, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.

Bei Gongcheng watched the scene in front of him quietly until the moment they kissed, finally, he had a reaction.

The corner of his lips curled up into a faint smile, and he stuffed the long box in his hand into the arms of the dumbfounded Qingfu.

Turn away.

The breeze lifted a corner of his white robe, making it a little messy, but his figure remained tall and straight.

"Immortal...brother..." Qingfu pursed her lips and murmured softly.It's a pity that she is not a young lady, so she cannot recall Bei Gongcheng's paused footsteps.

Nalan Ruixue paused for a moment, and opened her eyes, only to find that he only left her a blurred back, she opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

It was as if a piece was missing somewhere and could never be retrieved.

It was clear that the flowers were blooming in March, and the garden was full of spring, but the sky seemed to be covered, and she couldn't see any sunlight. Nalan Ruixue felt her body suddenly cold, and her heart darkened instantly.

Ye Yun smiled wryly in his heart, could he still not accept himself after all?In the past, he was willing to wait for her all his life, waiting for her to look back, waiting for her to stare, but with Bei Gongcheng's appearance, every minute and every second now is a kind of torment.

Gathering her mind, she tried her best to hold up a smile, only to find that Nalan Ruixue was looking out the door in a daze, her eyes wandering far away.

Turning around in doubt, I only saw Qingfu scratching her ears and cheeks alone, very restless.

"Qingfu? What's the matter?" He asked tentatively.

Qingfu was struggling with how to give the lady something, but when she heard the voice, she came to her senses, glanced at the lady helplessly, and then gave Ye Yun a big white stare: "It's okay, I ate too much!"

With her neck held high and her nostrils raised to the sky, she puffed up like a freshly baked bun and twisted her body to get into the side pavilion.

Qing Luo was standing in front of the carved screen window, looking out in a daze.

"Qingluo?" Qingfu was a little surprised, when did she come back?However, it seemed that she had seen everything just now.

Qingluo turned her head and looked at Qingfu with a faint smile: "Do you think Prince Beigong is better?"

Qingfu tilted her head and her eyes were full of puzzlement, what's the matter with Prince Beigong?

Seeing her appearance, Qing Luo knew that she must not know who the man in white was, so she gave her a helpless look.You don't even know who the opponent is, so you dare to stand in line?It's lucky that this girl hasn't been sold yet.

Qing Fu was baffled by Qing Luo, she sat down on the edge of the bed, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I know you must think I'm stupid, you don't even know who the other party is, but why bother about emotional matters so much, you I don't even know how gentle the eyes of Brother Shenxian are when he looks at Miss, it can condense water."

Qing Luo smiled noncommittally, turned her head and continued to look out the window.

gentle?She hadn't seen it before, but the young lady's position was based on the country and the family, so she would definitely not accept Prince Beigong, otherwise she wouldn't have married Brother Ye in a hurry.

If the heart is ruthless, it is a leisurely valley, and if the heart is affectionate, it is love.

Miss, the burden on your shoulders is too heavy.

Qingluo's expression was misty, and she remembered the masked man who rescued her today, and a faint trace crossed her heart.

is it him?
Nalan Ruixue felt Ye Yun's stiff arms tighten slightly, and realized her gaffe, immediately forced a faint smile, and slowly pushed his body away.

"give me sometime."

Although Ye Yun was a little puzzled, but thinking of his recklessness today, he also realized that it was his fault.

Indeed, in the past five years, Rui Xue's attitude towards him has always been like this, very close, but she avoided talking about the relationship issue.

Ye Yun's heart was a little gloomy. He used to think that being her shadow would protect her for the rest of his life, but now he hated his identity as a shadow.

Wait until the wedding, as long as Rui Xue can marry him, he can spend a lifetime warming her heart.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, he thought for a while, and said, "People in the prison, what are you going to do?"

Nalan Ruixue raised her eyes and quickly recovered her seriousness. "The ones who were killed that day were basically the lowest-level spies. The spies from the core secret sentry should still be among them. I let the people from Zhuoyulou sneak in in disguise. People should reply one after another tonight. We can't kill them all, or It takes a purposeful set of information."

"What do you want to know? Outpost? Or quantity? Judging from the current situation, apart from Beichang, no other country will take action against Nantong for the time being. It may not be able to find out too many substantive things. It is necessary to target Beichang. Search?" Ye Yun analyzed the matter in detail.

Slightly stunned for a moment, she recalled a stern face again, and her calm heart was shaken again, she calmed down, and said with deep eyes: "Beichang should not make any moves for the time being, so don't be too deliberate. The rest of the countries don't care if they have it or not." Conspiracy, we can't let them continue to be arrogant! But there are means to build secret sentries to the capital, just force them away, and it's not a good thing to make trouble. You should pay more attention... Are there any other forces? spy."

"Are you worried about Nan Feng?" Ye Yun raised his eyebrows.

"Don't worry, but you still have to be vigilant. Jixiang Ruyi has been following me more frequently recently."

Ye Yun was originally disgusted by Nan Feng for forcing Rui Xue into such a state, but when he heard that she was being followed, he became even more angry: "One day, I will kill him!"

"What are you talking about, he's from the royal family." Nalan Ruixue was amused by his anger, and punched him with a smile.

Ye Yun was startled slightly, then smiled brightly, his Rui Xue came back again.

The full starlight reminded Nalan Ruixue of what happened just now, and said awkwardly: "You should go quickly, the time is only a few days, tomorrow I will go to Lingshan Temple, you try to show your face in the city."

"Okay. Need someone to protect you?"

She gave him a helpless look. "What? When did I become a woman who needs protection in your eyes?"

"No matter how strong a woman is, she still needs a shoulder to rely on. If you change your conceited temper, I'm really worried that you will suffer a loss one day. But if you suffer a loss, you must first think of me." Ye Yun smiled, stretched out his hand to hook her nose. "Okay, I'm leaving, be careful."

"Yeah." She smiled lightly and watched him leave.

As soon as Ye Yun left the courtyard, he keenly noticed that there was a probing person in the long corridor in the distance, with a sneer on his lips, he took out the unicorn mask from his arms, put it on, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

In the long corridor, a servant girl saw this and quietly slipped back to Nalan Ruqiu's Zhaoyu Pavilion.

Inside Zhaoyu Pavilion, there are carved beams and painted buildings, gold powder and silver buildings, and a complete set of furniture made of high-quality rosewood is displayed in the pavilion, painted in rose red, which echoes the peonies in the garden. Not to mention the exquisite antiques in the pavilion.

Nalan Ruqiu leaned lazily on the soft couch, Zi Ling knelt beside her and handed the cherry.

She raised her beautiful phoenix eyes slightly, looked at the timid little maid in front of her, and said with a light smile, "Are you sure you read it right?"

The little servant girl kowtowed, and replied: "Returning to the words of the second young lady, the servant is definitely not mistaken, it is indeed Captain Su."

Although Ruqiu didn't change her face, doubts arose in her heart, this is impossible, Nalan Ruixue is "Su Mo"!Others in the family don't know, but she heard what her mother said, so there can be no mistake.

Moreover, Su Mo did appear only five years ago, which is similar to the day when Nalan Ruixue started to leave home.It's impossible for Su Mo to be someone else, but this maid kept saying she saw it, and the look on her face was not fake.

After thinking about it, she said with a leisurely smile, "Okay, I got it, let's go down. I'll find Nanny Chen along the way, why haven't I come back after going out for a long time?"

"Yes, this servant will leave." The little servant girl kowtowed again before she dared to get up and leave.

Zi Ling looked around and saw that there was no one in the pavilion, so she whispered: "Miss, do you want your servant to go and have a look?"

"No, she's too smart, you'll suffer if she's found out." Nalan Ruqiu ate another mouthful of cherries, pouting her mouth, motioning Zi Ling to eat too.

Zi Ling's eyes became hot, and she whispered: "Miss, you are so kind."

"Silly girl! Let's grow up together, can I still lose to you?" Ru Qiu smiled and patted her on the head, her eyes misty.

After Ye Yun left, the smile on Nalan Ruixue's face gradually faded, she sat back at the round table a little weakly, thousands of thoughts burst out uncontrollably in her heart.

What's going on with her?Don't you hate him?Why did his heart feel so uncomfortable when he left, he even felt as if he was suffocating?
Hasn't he always been domineering?Why did you leave just now?

Why did she feel so deeply guilty?
It's getting more and more chaotic!She covered her face with her bare hands, and covered everything in front of her eyes angrily, as if her heart would not be disturbed if she couldn't hear or see.

Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

He is back?

Nalan Ruixue felt a surge of joy in her heart, and quickly raised her head. In an instant, she really wanted to tell him that nothing happened just now.

Qingluo looked at the young lady sadly, but she just patted her shoulder, the faint light in the young lady's eyes was the hope that she had never seen before, she - was she looking forward to someone?

Seeing that it was Qing Fu, Nalan Ruixue was stunned for a while, but she didn't realize that the corners of her raised lips gradually faded into a line.

She lowered her eyes and said slowly: "You are here."

Qing Luo sits on the side of the round table with distress, caressing her plain hand. "Miss, Prince Beigong has left."

She was startled, turned her face to one side, and muttered to the empty air in front of her eyes: "Qingluo, am I terrible?"

"Why? Miss, although Qingluo doesn't know what happened between you two, it's always a good thing to leave. Don't you see through men the most? He didn't rush forward when he saw that kind of scene, which means he doesn't really like you. If that's the case, don't worry about it."

Nalan Ruixue's heart trembled, don't you like it?Heh, maybe, there is only a relationship of interest between them.

Calming down her mind, she tried her best to smile lightly. "It's just right for him to leave, as long as he can fulfill his promise in three months."

Qingluo nodded. "I'll go and make you something to eat. If you're going to be bored, let Qingfu come over and talk to you."

Qingfu?Nalan Ruixue's heart moved, and she said calmly: "Okay, you can call her over."
