Chapter 116 Leisurely My Heart

Ning can feel the night stars change.

Not only has the feelings for her changed, but also the whole person has changed very different from when he was in Shangji City. When Shang Jicheng first met, the elegant boy in a lavender robe and embroidered with a blue feng feng xin on his chest was quiet and weak, with a touch of beauty. His coral-red eyes were crystal clear, and his slender lips curved and moved people's smile. She admitted that she was fascinated by Ye Xingchen's smile at first glance. After a glance, she completely engraved the exquisite face in her mind.

She was a princess. How could she climb up the wall to find a merchant's children regardless of her identity? Shinong Industry and Commerce, the most end-class merchant family, even if the family is rich, there is still a gap between it and the high-ranking royal family. She still remembers being made difficult by the vendor for a bowl of lotus seed porridge for several steamed buns in Shangji City. Ye Xingchen kicked over the vendor and took her away. They ran fast, as if they were flying, with a cool breeze flowing between their fingers. At night, they climbed over the wall and wandered in the busiest streets and alleys of Shangji City, and were chased into Jiaxiu Lake. She was about to leave Shangji City and return to the palace. Ye Xingchen held the ring she wanted to give her in her hand and was picked up miserably by the ghost warriors. She held her hand and asked her to wait, and she would definitely come to the imperial capital to find her...

But now that he has arrived at the imperial capital, why can't he find what he felt when he was in Shangji City? He can go in and out of the palace at will, why don't he come to find himself? The mansion rewarded by his father is only one street away from the palace! Why was his beautiful face covered with a layer of coldness, and the weakness and pity disappeared, and he turned into a general with a knife around his waist and a calm look.

When he glanced at the temple, he glanced at everything, and didn't even stay too much on her. Houmen were as deep as the sea. Obviously, the dignitaries in the temple were plotting him and wanted to win him in for more benefits. Only she was really thinking about him. Why didn't he look at himself? For him, she even ignored the image of the Empress Fengyi and insisted on wearing an irregular ponytail, so that he could see himself at a glance!

And when will those crystal clear coral red eyes become scarlet and cloudy? Looking at him, he was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

Ning Zheng kicked the stones under his feet boredly and played with the lattice on the bluestone board of the palace. The ponytail flew with her beating rhythm and shined like gold in the warm winter sun.

Yesterday, the emperor just issued an order to command the world. The eldest brother and the third brother will go to the fief after the Spring Festival. One is Ruiwang, the other is Jingwang, and the Huangfu's ancestral training. Except for the regular visit to Beijing at the end of the year, the two kings are not seen for the rest of the year. That is to say, after the year, the eldest brother and the third brother will be the vassal, and the second brother will be the prince. In the four brothers and sisters will be in the future. We can't be reunited outside the Spring Festival.

There is also Grandpa Guo, who unexpectedly returned to his hometown without calling. Bai Honglian Bai Gong, the newly appointed eunuch of the imperial eunuch, gave her a letter from Grandpa Guo by bus. There were only a few sentences in the letter: May Princess Ning Zheng be healthy, the old slave return to her hometown in her life, and serve His Highness again in the next life.

So is Xingchen. After returning from Shahezhou, he has been busy with things, and he can't even find his shadow.

It seems that these people who often accompany her are all gone their separate ways at once, and they are the kind of separation that will never be found in the future.

"Really--" The girl raised her head and pouted in the warm and soft sun in winter.

If he doesn't come to find himself, can't he go to him? If he is really busy, then stay by and watch him busy. It's better to help him, copy a word, sort out a document, and pour tea and water, so that he can openly find a reason to stay by his side.

The girl was obviously amused by her little cleverness. She laughed happily and smiled. Her wind chime-like laughter weakened, and the smile on her face, which should have been as bright as the sun, gradually became lonely.

When did she become such a princess as a princess and the woman in Fengyi world become so... humble.

It seems that after the night stars are installed in my heart, I can no longer tolerate other people and things, and even the noble arrogance and light spirit of the princess as a woman can be resolved.

It's like falling into the mire of the world, the more you struggle and the deeper you fall.

Ning Zheng tiptoed away the maid of honor who had been staring at her. Since the last time she went out of the palace and ran to Shangji City to play, there has always been such a small tail around her, afraid that she will disappear again and cause chaos in the palace?

Ning Zheng, who is familiar with the secret path of the palace, happened to flash through all the Jin Wuwei and has been familiar with all the secret passages in the palace since she was a child. In fact, she looks like a quiet girl, but she is actually crazy in her bones! Otherwise, how can you leave the palace alone?

When they came to the door of General Beichen's mansion, the two halberd warriors guarding at the door were so they wanted to kneel down to salute, but she downplayed and waved their hands.

She looked up at the bronzing 'General Beichen Mansion' on the plaque and asked, "Is your general there?"

"Your Highness, the general has just returned!"

"What has he been up to lately?"

"I don't know. It seems that I have met several bigwigs!" Another samurai replied.

"Do you want to socialize?" Ning Zheng muttered to himself that Xingchen obviously didn't like the virtual and witty words in the officialdom. He fought with these empty old foxes, which was tiring and tiring. He couldn't take it lightly. Maybe he would be trapped if he didn't pay attention.

Is it good or bad for you to be this general from the fourth grade? Xingchen, are you still the star I know well?

Ning Zheng stepped into the courtyard of General Beichen's mansion and saw the round and fat Xiaowu. The fat Xiaowu waved his hand and shouted happily, "Hey, Your Highness Ning Zheng! What brought you here? Are you here to find the young master? You go to the guest hall with me, and the young master will come after the conversation!"

He had not recovered from his injury in Shahezhou a few days ago. As soon as he waved his hand, his muscles and bones were painful, and his cheap bright smile became grinning, which was quite funny.

Ning is covering his mouth and smiling, and he is in a better mood.

Xiao Wu was slightly crippled and led Ning Zheng to the guest hall, greeted his servants to bring tea and snacks, and lit the fire basin for fear of neglecting the emperor's favorite princess.

Ning Zheng broke a small piece of snowy plum and sent it to her lips and took a bite. In fact, she was not hungry, but just wanted to find something to do. Xiao Wu saw her slightly depressed appearance and dared to sit on the chair next to Ning Zheng, full of fat. He grinned and said, "Is your highness on your mind?"

She wanted to shake her head and say no, but when the words reached her mouth, she just nodded sullenly.

"Is it because of my young master?"

She nodded again.

She has been worried about a lot of things recently. Several brothers became princes. Presumably, the eldest brother will hate the second brother for the rest of his life! After the second brother became the prince, he was also like a man, rigid and calm, and no longer smiled at her, just like the monk who sat alone for a hundred years. Grandpa Guo disappeared inexplicably, and he must never see him in his life. Xingchen was busy all day, and it was difficult to even meet him. At that time, he agreed that he would come to the imperial capital to do something big, just to be with him, openly, upright, and door-to-door together. Who knew it would be this situation. The Spring Festival was coming soon, and it should be a lively and happy time, but she couldn't be happy.

In fact, the culprit is the night stars! The girl thought angrily that several brothers parted ways. Grandpa Guo left, and she could bear it, but Ye Xingchen couldn't bear to alienate her. The night star is like a harbor. No matter how big the boat encounters, as long as she can hide in the harbor, even if it is turbulent, she doesn't care, but now even the last harbor has collapsed. Where should she go?

Xiaowu scratched his head, "Actually, I also feel that there is something wrong with the young master. He has changed. In the past, the young master was a very soft and kind person, with a delicate mind and the girl. But since he recovered his memory, his temperament has slowly changed. Maybe Mengyang's incident impressed him so deeply that he can't forget it. Emperor Linxi of Mengyang destroyed his whole family in those years. His mother is still imprisoned in Mengyang Palace by Emperor Lin Xi. He has been exiled to the far north grassland for several years. It is not easy to survive. Now It was not easy to sit firmly in the seat of General Beichen, and the revenge gradually saw hope. The young master also fought for it! In fact, I also think that the young master can be as carefree and know nothing as Shangjicheng. Even if he lives in the lies given to him by his enemies, it is not too bad to live a comfortable life. However, the young master is not such a person who can really let go of everything. The hatred of the whole country is pressed on his shoulder. Everyone is worried. The young master doesn't like to quarrel with these old emperor foxes, but there is nothing he can do. If he doesn't deal with these people, it will be difficult to talk in the temple in the future..."

"Did the young master neglect you during this period? In fact, the sixth son and I are the same. The young master is planning something. He didn't even tell me and the sixth son. In fact, he didn't want to hide it from us. He just wants to shoulder it alone. The things he plans are too huge. Whoever is involved will be unlucky... It seems that they don't take us seriously. In fact, the young master is still thinking about us in the final analysis. ."

Ning Zheng listened sullenly and muttered to himself, "Why do you have to bear it alone? Isn't it good for more people to help you? I am the princess of Fanyang, but I will also be your woman in the future. Even if you want to make Fanyang the enemy of the world, I will stand by your side. Why do you even hide it from me..."

"Hey hey, men make contributions and achievements, and children's love is long, and they can't have both. Wait, when the young master's business is over, you can have a good talk with him. In fact, the young master's shoulder is quite a lot of pressure... I told the servants that those old foxes of the imperial capital have left, so let the young master come here to find you!"

Ning Zheng nodded and moaned the small mouthful of plum cake in her mouth. Half a palm-sized snack was eaten by her for half an hour - she just wanted to find something to do.

A maid hurriedly ran over and said something in Xiaowu's ear. Xiaowu raised his white fat cheek and said, "Young master will come right away, and I'll go out first..."

Ning was watching Xiaowu leave, reaching out and clenging the corners of his clothes, and his heart was pounding - is he finally going to see him?

After a while, under the sunshine of the courtyard, the handsome young man bathed in the sun. In winter, the soft sun outlined a circle of gold edges all over his body. He wore a knife around his waist, strode meteors, and his thin and long body was as straight as a sword. He was simply the most perfect man in the world.

She stood up and greeted her, and her cloudy face finally showed a smile. She opened her arms like a crane dancing in the wind, about to hold the night stars into her wings.

The person she longed for stopped a few steps away from her, with a blank face and red eyes like charcoal looked at her calmly. Her eyes met her eyes for a moment and staggered, looking elsewhere.

"Why are you here?" The night star asked indifferently.

Ning Zheng had raised half of his arms and paused in mid-air for a moment, and then fell down gutterly, "I miss you... and I'm coming... Are you busy?"

"Didn't you just see it a few days ago?" Ye Xingchen slightly turned his head, and the bangs on his forehead drooped, covering his red eyes.

"A few days ago...it was five days ago!" Ning Zheng's voice gradually weakened. She clearly felt the barriers around him, his perfection, his indifference, and his eyes hidden behind his hair were all estrangements between them. Although the distance was only a few steps away, she felt that the night stars had been far away from her. She wanted to reach out and grab him, just like a monkey fishing for the moon. As soon as her fingertips touched it, the water shattered and she couldn't see anything clearly.

When he left Grandpa Guo a few days ago, he said with tears and said that he was afraid of losing important people again, those who died because of him, and the things he would face in the future. She hugged him and whispered softly, as gentle as the mother of a baby. Why has he become so indifferent now that he can look at her with such indifferent eyes?

"Stars... What am I to you? Why did you desperately want to come to the imperial capital? For me, or for official position and power?" Ning Zheng asked in a trembling voice.

There was a trace of confusion in Ye Xingchen's eyebrows and said in silence for a long time, "I don't know..."

"Look at me!" Ning shouted angrily.

She is as angry as a chirping eagle. Angry at his indifference, angry at his hesitation, angry at his understatement of ignorance.

Ye Xingchen finally stopped dodging her eyes and looked at those clear eyes, like a pool of clear water integrated into his eyes, and even his red eyes became clear. He is indeed hiding from Ning Zheng, Xiao Wu, Liu Zi, and the people who care about him, because he is walking a road of no return! What he wants to do is scary to think about. He would rather die than involve these people. He would rather bear it alone.

But he can't open his mouth. He must maintain such a cold and indifferent appearance. He is afraid that as soon as he opens his mouth, the hard and hard work will melt away. He is afraid that he will cry in Ning Zheng's arms. He is afraid that he will forget what a heavy hatred he carries on his shoulders. He just wants to be with her to resist death.

He read sorry over and over again, shed tears over and over again, stressed that he wanted to be indifferent and calm over and over again, and repeated the feeling of this cone heart over and over again, just like a hot whip beating on his body.

"I'm sorry." After all, he did not shed tears, smiled, did not open his arms to embrace Ning Zheng, but stood there, as straight as his sword, and said these three words lightly.

Ning Zheng took a deep breath, his eyes were foggy, and his body trembled slightly.

She closed her eyes, and tears finally rolled down, scratched her cheeks, flowed through the corners of her mouth, and penetrated into her lips, full of bitterness.

Seeing Ning Zheng shed tears, Ye Xingchen's eyes suddenly opened behind his hair, as if he had been struck by lightning. His eyes were trembling, his lips were trembling, and his fingers trembled again. At the moment when Ning Zheng's tears slipped, his so-called hard, cold, indifferent, arrogant, all turned into powder, his armor had been broken, and his flesh and blood Exposed, he was eager to hug her, eager to say the softest love words to her, and to be with her all day long, no matter what revenge, no matter what country hates family hatred, no matter what kind of his mother is still imprisoned.

He stepped forward and staggered almost, stretching out his hand to wipe her tears.

Pa-Ning Zheng waved his hand and opened his hand, strode out of the door, and passed him by.

When she was about to walk to the door, Ning was stopping for a moment - she clearly heard a sob. She was waiting, waiting for him to stay, waiting for him to call her name, waiting for a long time, nothing but hearing the sobs that made her heartbroken.

She squeezed her lips, crossed the threshold, and stopped waiting.

I happened to meet the second brother who was already the prince. Ning Zheng was upset, ignored it, and ran away.

The second prince glanced at Ning Zheng, went straight into the guest hall and said calmly, "It's almost done. The eldest prince's party friends have been dealt with if they didn't obey my orders, and the rest have shown loyalty to me. Whether they are sincere or not, at least it won't get in the way."

The night star, who was still heartbroken and tearful, was calm to death in an instant and said coldly, "I have seen several old foxes in the imperial capital these days, and even coaxed and threatened, and they will support you. Now, except for the Empress Yuehua of the Imperial Palace and General Yan of the Imperial Palace, the whole Fanyang Temple is on your side.

"What should I do next?" There was no brilliance in the prince's empty eyes and said stiffly.

"Replace Huangfu Mingchan, you will be the emperor." Ye Xingchen turned his back to him and said calmly.

"Political. Changed?"

"Well, you can't wait any longer. The sooner you become the emperor, the better. We are now taking chestnuts from the fire, and we must do it quickly."

"Kill the emperor?"

Ye Xingchen frowned and thought for a moment, "Don't kill, just imprison it. It is announced that Huangfu Mingchan suddenly has a serious illness and is unable to govern. You take the opportunity to take over the emperor's throne. I don't know what will happen if I kill Huangfu Ming Chan directly. I can feel the constraints of the rules more and more. Even if I don't take action directly, I will die indirectly because of me. If the fortune pillar of the Fanyang Empire collapses, I'm afraid I will be punished by God. I used to think that fate was illusory, but now I clearly feel that I just manipulated a prince, just like someone staring at me behind my back. The thorn is on the back..."

"Yes, when will you do it?"

"Two days later... Five days is the New Year, and it must be completed before the New Year, and it is too variable after the New Year. I don't know how long these old foxes can hold on. When you become the emperor, kill these old guys with ghosts first..."

"Yes."

"You go away."

"Yes!" The prince raised his face like a puppet and obediently retreated.

The quiet guest hall was as quiet as death, and the night stars sighed gently, and the spirit that supported him seemed to collapse. He stood alone, stroking the gorgeous ring forged by rose gold and moon and silver on his fingers. He knew that Ning Zheng had the same ring on his finger.

Twist the ring of lovesickness.

He burst into tears, and two bright red tears scratched his cheeks and muttered over and over again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
