Nangong Lizhu!

This name made my breathing stagnate for a moment.

In fact, since the chaos in the imperial city, she was taken away by Nangong Jinhong and was kidnapped by Pei Yuanxiu in Gantang Village. So many things have happened in such a long time. If it weren't for the idea that she must be still in Jinling Mansion, I would have almost no time to take care of her. But when I got here, the first thing I thought about and wanted to see was her.

However, this matter is certainly not that simple.

I can guess how embarrassing she is in a position in Jinling Mansion and a crisis-ridden environment. Even if Nangong Jinhong's existence can protect her, with the character of the Han sisters, she will definitely not give her a good life.

And now, Han Ruoshi mentioned her here again, as if she wanted me to see her?

I hesitated in my heart and did not express my opinion immediately. I just moved my hand holding the bamboo branch slightly. The bamboo leaves that were originally blocking me started to move rustly, shaking off a lot of dew condensed on it.

Han Ruoshi looked here, but the bamboo forest in front of her was densely covered with branches and leaves, blocking her gaze, and her gaze just stopped for a moment.

Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She said to the two girls: "Just this sentence, if you have time, please bring this sentence to Miss Yan."

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and turned around and left.

The maids were actually still a little scared. When they saw their master leave, they immediately snorted coldly, posing as a proud and victorious rooster, and left with a swagger.

It was not until their backs disappeared on the bridge that I slowly walked out of the bamboo forest.

The two girls immediately turned around when they heard my footsteps: "Miss Yan?"

I smiled and said, "Thank you, both of you, for blocking my wife's way."

They looked at each other and said calmly: "We are just doing our orders, Miss Yan doesn't have to thank us."

One of the girls took another step forward: "By the way, just now-"

"Mrs. Pei asked you to bring me a message, right?" I smiled and said, "I happened to come over and heard it."

"oh."

"Her words make some sense. I want to go and see what Nangong Lizhu looks like in Jinling Mansion now."

“…”

"Where is she? I want to go and have a look."

The two of them looked at each other again and didn't say anything.

I looked at them with a smile: "Why, don't you let me enter here, and don't let you get out?"

“…”

"So, I didn't live here, I was locked up here."

“…”

"Then you are not here to take care of me, but to guard me?"

The girl hurriedly said, "No, we are not trying to restrict Miss Yan's actions."

"oh?"

"But, both the young master and the master explained that I hope Miss Yan will not wander around. The situation is unstable, and I am worried that Miss Yan will be hurt."

“…”

I raised an eyebrow.

This is the second time I have heard someone mention the word "current situation".

Moreover, they are not much bigger than Miaoyan, two little girls who are as beautiful as flowers.

If such words are spoken from Pei Yuanxiu, Pei Yuanhao and others, although they are serious, they do not make people feel strange. However, if they speak from the two little girls, they can make people feel that the situation is serious.

I paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I won't go out to sway, I'm just walking around in Jinling Mansion. Could it be that Nangong Lizhu lives outside?"

The two of them looked at each other and didn't say anything.

I raised my eyebrows: "Is he really living outside?"

One of the girls said, "Not far away, just west of our mansion, with only a wall, and the door is connected to the door."

"Oh..." I dragged my voice and nodded: "Since that's the case, it's no different from being in this mansion."

“…”

"With both of you, come with me, there will definitely be no accident."

“…”

"I don't want to cause trouble for myself either."

“…”

"After all, I'm not a real prisoner, aren't I?"

They were young, probably because neither Pei Yuanxiu nor Xie Feng really told them to treat me as a prisoner, and they would still give me a certain degree of freedom. So after hesitating for a while, a girl nodded and said, "Okay."

“…”

"But we can't go for too long, just check it out and come back."

I smiled and said, "Okay."

|

The two of them took me out and walked to the west of the mansion. When they saw a long wall with almost no sight, a small corner door was closed, and two guards stood there.

As soon as he saw us walking over, the two guards immediately came over.

"Miss Yan? Where are you going?"

"I want to go out and have a look."

They frowned, and the two girls who followed me said, "The young master and the master have ordered that as long as we follow, Miss Yan can relax around here."

The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you have to - follow closely."

"Um."

After such an explanation, the two guards retreated and opened the door.

I nodded to them with a smile, and then walked out of the door. Outside the door was a long and narrow alley, which was beyond the sight. There were no pedestrians passing by in the alley. It was very quiet, with only the cool breeze whispering the fallen leaves in the corner of the wall making a rustling sound.

On the other side of the alley is another row of long gray walls.

A small corner door is also facing us.

It seems that this is what they said, where Nangong Lizhu lives.

A girl walked over and knocked on the door.

I stood in the alley, feeling the cool breeze, and muttered in my heart, but I figured out something - Nangong Jinhong brought Nangong Lizhu to Jinling, and naturally came to meet Pei Yuanxiu, but at that time, Yao Lao was still there. In order not to arouse his suspicion, Pei Yuanxiu would certainly not let them live in Jinling Mansion openly; Besides, when Han Zitong saw me at the first sight, she wanted to kill me for her sister. With Nangong Lizhu's appearance, it was impossible for these two sisters to be without hostility. It was the best place to settle in this place.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Just as I was thinking, the door opposite opened, a little girl came out, she said a few words to the girl, and then greeted us.

As soon as I entered the small door, I felt that I suddenly realized.

This is another very exquisite mansion, and the garden is also beautifully built, but it is not very popular. The winding path is empty, and there are many fallen leaves floating on the pond, showing a bit of loneliness.

Where does Nangong Lizhu live?

I walked in slowly and soon walked to a yard.

Here, just like outside, is so quiet that there is almost no sound. The sound of the wind blowing through the yellow leaves in the flowerbed makes it seem even more quiet.

I couldn't help frowning - Nangong Lizhu, live here?

I am not familiar with her. Although I have fought so many times and have been fighting for many years, I actually don’t know what she is. It’s just that a peerless beauty lives in such a quiet place, which makes people feel a little different.

With such doubts, I walked up and as soon as I reached the steps, the little girl whispered: "Miss Yan, let them accompany you in."

I looked back at her and said, "Why, are you still worried about me?"

The little girl hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that she is worried about you, but--"

She wanted to speak but stopped, looking at the closed room with doors and windows, with a faint sense of worry in her eyes.

After hesitating for a while, she said, "I am worried that I will hurt you."

“…”

This sentence made me suddenly startle. When I recalled Han Ruoshi's intention to let me meet Nangong Lizhu just now, I felt something in my heart. When the two girls heard her words, they immediately said: "If this is the case, then we should accompany you in with Miss Yan?"

I made a little smile and said, "Don't be so nervous. It's not a beast, as for it?"

"But--"

"You are in this yard. If there is really something wrong, I will just ask you to go in immediately."

“…”

"Don't worry."

They were obviously hesitant, but I was convinced and stayed in the yard. When I walked up the steps to the door, I looked back at them again. Although these two girls were very skilled, they were obviously very simple in their minds. They didn’t have so many intrigues, and they didn’t have the desire to spy on people’s privacy. They just kept their duties and protected me. So I smiled at them again, saying that they didn’t have to worry, and then pushed the door and walked in.

Inside, there is a pretty large, exquisite and gorgeous room.

However, there are not many decorations.

Even, you can see some pits on the wall, like traces of being smashed by something, and there are more than one place, as if someone has made a lot of noise here, leaving those traces.

I walked in step by step, walked to the table, and then heard a sudden heavy breathing sound from the other side of the room.

I turned my head and saw a familiar and beautiful figure through a bead curtain in the middle of the room.

Nangong Lizhu, she was sitting on an exquisite little bed, facing me sideways.

The beautiful eyes of autumn water have already seen me.

I obviously felt that her thin body trembled slightly when she saw me, but she did not turn around and look at me immediately, but froze there, as if something unbearable was pressing her breathing and heartbeat. I obviously felt her shoulders twitching slightly.

Just when I was facing her like this, and neither of them spoke a word and the atmosphere was tense as if it was about to break, she suddenly reached out, picked up an incense burner beside the bed, and threw it at me fiercely.

I didn't move, and the incense burner hit my feet. With a clang, a small hole was smashed into the floor.

The incense burner rolled into the corner of the wall.

The people outside naturally heard the loud noise, and immediately a burst of rapid footsteps sounded. The two girls pushed open the door and broke in, hurriedly running to me: "Ms. Yan!"

"What's wrong? Are you injured?"

“…”

I stood there motionless, looking at Nangong Lizhu panting through the constantly shaking bead curtain, regardless of the people standing beside me, and said with a sneer: "What are you doing? Do you think this little strength can hurt me? Or do you think that now is still the time for you to be favored and dominate?"

“…”

"Nangong Lizhu, don't think you are still in the harem, you are still the imperial concubine who is below one person and above ten thousand people."

“…”

"Here, you're really nothing."

As I said these words, I could feel that the two girls beside me were originally anxious and nervous. At this time, they looked at me in surprise. I probably didn't expect me to say this. Nangong Lizhu's eyes were about to spit out of fire. She stared at me tightly and said with gritted teeth: "Yan Qingying, do you dare to come? Do you believe it or not, I will take your life!"

"Don't believe it."

“…”

"I said, this is not a harem, you can't do anything here."

After being surprised, the two girls were a little surprised, but they both paid responsibilities to protect me, fearing that Nangong Lizhu would rush out and attack me, but she just sat on the bed, panting, but she didn't really attack. I sneered, and then said to them: "It's okay, you guys go out and let me have a good chat with her."

I turned the tone particularly high for the last few words.

The two of them looked at me and were a little worried: "But-"

"Don't worry, haven't you seen it yet? She's just a person who works hard on the outside."

“…”

"She can't move mine."

“…”

"If she wants to move me, she must also consider the consequences of moving me."

The two girls looked at each other, then looked back at Nangong Lizhu, and it was indeed obvious that she was not really about to rush out and fight with me. It seemed as if I had said, she was a person who was strong outside and was a man. So hesitated for a moment and slowly retreated.

When they quit, I looked up at her again.

The woman on the other side of the curtain looked much calmer than before. She just moved her hand and made her feel a little panting, as if she was very weak.

Then I lowered my voice: "Are you okay?"

Of course I knew that the two girls would not be able to listen to the corner, but since Han Ruoshi wanted me to come and "meet" her, I'm afraid there are many eyeliners nearby, so naturally she should be more cautious.

When I heard my greeting, I heard Nangong Lizhu let out a low voice, as if she was sneering.

Then, she slowly stood up, walked over step by step, and walked to the opposite side of the curtain.

The swaying pearl curtains between us made me see her clearly, but I couldn't see her clearly.
