After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Nan Baozhu wore a cloak and hurried back to the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

The bedroom was dark, and Ning Wanzhou wasn't there at all.

When she called the old housekeeper to ask, the old housekeeper was also very puzzled: "The Duke went out early in the morning and said he was going to attend the wedding banquet of the Shen residence... You really didn't meet me at the banquet?"

Nan Baozhu gritted her teeth.

If she encounters it, she won't come back to find someone on purpose.

She dismissed the old housekeeper and lit a few lamps in the dormitory by herself.

She sat down on the side of the bed, and took out the jade pendant that calms the nerves from her bosom.

The jade is warm and flawless, with emerald green brilliance flowing under the candlelight. It should be something that calms people's minds, but she is still uneasy holding it in her palm.

late at night he...

What happened?

The young man who was missed by the girl was kneeling and sitting in the main hall of the Lenggong Palace.

He wears a narrow knife at his waist, and is wearing a white crane silk gown. It has only been half a month, and his cheeks have become thin and slightly sunken. feeling.

He slowly raised his scarlet peach eyes.

The court ladies and Tianshu elite guarding Shen Jiang in the hall were all knocked down by him unconscious, but only Shen Jiang was left behind.

The woman who killed his parents, even though her hair was white, was still well-groomed. She was sitting on the floor, cooking tea leisurely, as if she was not entertaining someone who came to avenge her, but a close friend whom she had not seen for many years.

The tea boiled.

Shen Jiang poured a small cup slowly, and pushed it from the tea table to Ning Wanzhou's hand: "When your mother was young, she used to be a close friend with Bengong who talked about everything. She loves to drink Biluochun cooked by Bengong. , you try it too."

The fragrance of tea was lingering, and Ning Wanzhou's face was bright and dark.

Pressing his hand on the handle of the knife, he paused every word: "I'm not here for tea."

Shen Jiang smiled: "Oh?"

Ning Wanzhou calmed down her breathing for a moment, took out the mahogany talisman from her bosom, and threw it on the tea table with a bang.

Shen Jiang looked over.

The mahogany talisman is carved with ancient and complicated totems, and there is a strange dark light flowing under the palace lamp, as if to confuse people's hearts.

She looked away and took a sip of tea calmly.

Ning Wanzhou said coldly: "For the past half month, I have been investigating the origin of this thing among the people. It is called the Vulcan Card, and it belongs to the Fire Clan. Huo Qi disguised himself as a quack warlock and sold this thing to Nan Grandmother, so it fell into my hands indirectly. Every night, every night, it bewitches my mind and persuades me to kill you."

Shen Jiang snorted lightly: "You want to take revenge, just do it, I'm right here, why make any excuses for the Vulcan card?"

Ning Wanzhou was still pressing the handle of the knife on her waist, and looked at her fixedly: "You know that I miss my parents, so I deliberately asked Huo Qi to arrange the Vulcan card for me. The emperor suspected early on that you were behind Huo Qi. Advice. I didn't understand why you were like this before, but now I understand. You want to die, you want me to end your life, don't you?"

Shen Jiang raised her sleeve to cover her lips, and laughed out loud.

Enough of laughing, she raised her chin provocatively: "So what? Your parents died under the scheme of this palace,

Ning Wanzhou, are you really unwilling to avenge them? I am here, if you dare not kill me, your parents will not rest in peace under the Nine Springs. Ning Wanzhou, kill me! "

Ning Wanzhou pursed her thin lips tightly.

Those peach blossom eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and the blue and black under his eyes made him look very haggard, but deep in the pupils there was a clarity that had never been seen in years.

The enemy is close at hand.

But his hand holding the handle of the knife slowly let go.

He said: "At first, I really wanted to kill you, but if I killed you, Nan Baoyi would die too. Empress Shen, I now understand that the twisted parents in the illusion are not my real father and mother My father and mother are different from you, and my mother never has a close friend who is as cruel as you. If they are still alive in this world, they will never agree to let Nan Baoyi become a victim of revenge."

Shen Jiang's smile froze.

Her eyes flashed ferociously, and she sneered: "In the final analysis, you still dare not!"

Ning Wanzhou smiled.

He picked up the cup of hot tea and drank it calmly.

He got up and walked out of the hall: "I will not kill you, and I will no longer be greedy for the illusion created by the Vulcan card. Empress Shen, it is good for you to live, and your punishment is to live—"

The voice has not yet fallen——

A strong wind swept in from behind, suddenly blowing open the wooden window.

The beauty in the purple palace dress turned and fell to the ground, her white hair was mixed with snowflakes pouring in from the window, and there was already a sharp blade in her right hand.

Ning Wanzhou's expression changed instantly.

He reached out to touch his waist, and the saber really disappeared!

He quickly turned around: "Empress Shen—"

It was too late to snatch the narrow knife from Shen Jiang's hand.

The curved and sharp blade cut through the thrilling dark light in the cold snowy night, and wiped the white and tender neck neatly——

...

Bahe.

The fireworks have not yet started to bloom, but the coast is already very lively. Small vendors are happily selling all kinds of flower cakes, tea fruits, hairpins, combs and hats, and the people who come to play are rubbing shoulders. , happily wandered along the river.

Xiao Yi held the Zhaoye Jade Lion with one hand and Nan Baoyi with the other.

The little girl was bouncing around, and he was always watching over her for fear that she would get lost.

Nan Baoyi saw everything fresh.

She suddenly pointed to the stall selling candied haws: "I helped Boss Han's busy schedule, and I didn't care about eating properly all day. Second brother, can you buy me a bunch of candied haws?"

Xiao Yi glanced at the thick layer of sugar coating on the outside of the hawthorn fruit, disgusted: "It's already midnight, eating sweets now will cause tooth decay—"

Before the words were finished, the little girl was already hugging his arm and began to act like a baby: "I want to eat that, can my second brother buy that for me? It won't cause tooth decay, and I clean my teeth every day... I'll buy it!"

She raised her small face, her crooked red phoenix eyes were shining brightly, as if reflecting two crystal clear crescent moons.

Her coquettish appearance was sweet and foul, Xiao Yi couldn't bear to refuse.

He pondered for a moment, and had no choice but to step back: "Only one skewer is allowed."

Nan Baoyi happily bought candied haws.

The hawthorn was sour and sweet, she was so happy to eat it, she couldn't help holding up the candied haws, and wanted to ask Xiao Yi to try it.

Xiao Yi shook his head, he never liked sweets.

Nan Baoyi was not angry either, and continued to eat happily.

Xiao Yi looked down at her, the little girl bit a hawthorn fruit, maybe it was sugar-coated and stuck to her teeth, she just bit off the whole one from the wooden stick.

He saw it amused, so he quickly bent down and bit the hawthorn fruit from her mouth.

Across the hawthorn fruit, the four eyes are facing each other, the lips are touching, the sweet and sour intertwined, soft like water, cold like fire.

Nan Baoyi's pupils dilated slightly.

She ate the half of the hawthorn in two or three bites, blushing and complaining: "I'll give you a good meal, but if you don't want to eat it, you want to eat the one near my mouth...does the one near my mouth taste better?"

Xiao Yi chewed half a hawthorn fruit, and looked at her with a smile: "The hawthorn on Nan Jiaojiao's mouth is indeed sweeter."

Nan Baoyi was angry and ashamed, and refused to go any further.

Xiao Yi simply carried her onto the horse's back, and walked forward holding the rein by himself.

He pointed with his horsewhip: "In front is Baqiao, where the Shen family is going to set off fireworks. Do you see the willows beside the bridge? That is the Baqiao willow, which is also a famous scene in Chang'an city. I will take you there to see it." Look."
