If it was an ordinary person in the vicinity, Feng Ningyan would have naturally noticed it long ago.
However, the two people behind the tree were both experts with extreme lightness skills. In addition, she was slightly tipsy and in a daze. She was completely unaware that there was someone beside her looking at her.
These two were Shen Ling Jue and Jing Qi.
Hiding in the darkness, Shen Ling Jue watched Feng Ning Yan's shivering back, and felt his heart aching. Holding the ribbon at the collar of his cloak, he subconsciously wanted to take off his cloak and put it on her …
At this time, Feng Ning Yan raised her wine pot and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
How does it taste? Who knows?
She raised her head with a forlorn smile and chanted in a choked voice, "The vermillion spars, the bright ones, the sweet ones, the sweet ones, the white ones, the bereaved ones, the ones who try their best not to think of concubines, the brocade water broth, and the Jun Long Formula …"
Tears fell uncontrollably, wetting her cheeks and her clothes.
These words were like sharp blades, cutting open Shen Ling Jue's heart once again.
Even if he did not see her face, he could clearly sense that she was crying.
His hands slowly came down from the ribbons of his cloak, his cold fingertips trembling slightly.
Ever since He Li had left, Feng Ning Yan had been in a hurry to answer to his question, never stopping at all.
In front of others, she was still that resolute, resolute, and tactful young marshal. Using her delicate shoulders, she supported the fiery red sky.
Even Shen Ling Jue thought that this marriage and this relationship was nothing to a hero who cared about his country.
But now, under the cover of darkness and darkness, she took advantage of the alcohol and thought that there was no one else around. Only then did she dare to reveal her true feelings and indulge in her own sadness.
Seeing Shen Ling Jue's heartbroken expression, Jing Qi couldn't help but be anxious for her master.
When he left, Shen Lingjue suffered from internal injuries, but refused to let Feng Ningyan know.
And after being bitterly saved and woken up by Ye Bai, not only did he not listen to the doctor's orders, but he instead stayed in the wilderness everyday to recuperate. What was he looking for? Wasn't it because he was worried about Feng Ning Yan's safety?
Although he didn't show himself, for her sake, he had an inexhaustible heart and did not finish the task.
Now that the wangfei was so close and had clearly not forgotten about the relationship, he was still hesitant to go. How was this the same prince that Ning Yan would never marry?
When Jing Qi thought of how Shen Lingjue's love affair had caused him to become haggard and he looked like he was holding onto the book while staring blankly, she wished she could push Master to Feng Ningyan's side.
He couldn't help but advise: "Prince, when the wangfei was framed by Prince Cheng, in order to not implicate Great General Feng and the prince, she wrote the letter of departure and cut off all ties. But now that the times have passed and she has been yearning so bitterly, why must you bear with it and not see her? "
Shen Ling Jue's heart skipped a beat, he couldn't help but take a step forward, but stopped in his tracks.
"Yes, the most important things in her life are her father and the Ning Nan army, but because she married this duke, she was drawn into the vortex of imperial power."
As he spoke, his chest began to ache again.
"If she wasn't Wangfei Yu, how could she have been framed so many times by Shen Youhuang and Hua Ruyu?" If it wasn't for Shen Youhuang, the traitor who colluded with the enemy, how would the Southern Yong Pass have ended up in defeat? "It wasn't her that implicated this duke. It was clearly this prince's identity that implicated the Feng family and Ning Nanyan …"
The more he spoke, the more distressed he became. He clenched his fists tightly.
These words made Jing Qi speechless.
The winter night wind blew through the trees, and the rustling of the leaves sounded as if someone was whispering.
Feng Ningyan's heart was suddenly moved. She blankly looked at the pitch-black forest, but she couldn't see anything. She only felt a cold chill invade her heart, and she couldn't help but approach the bonfire.
The bonfire burned brightly, but it was not as warm as his smile, his gentle words, and his hug.
The wine was almost finished.
It was as if she had turned into tears that flowed unceasingly. No matter how she wiped them away, she could not stop them.
Feng Ning Yan choked with sobs. She couldn't help but raise her head and hysterically shout into the sky, "Shen Ling Jue, you bastard!"
The shout startled a flock of birds and they flapped their wings as they flew into the distance.
"Why did you still come and provoke me in this life to make me fall in love with you …" Do you know how hard it is and how painful it is to love someone and then heartlessly abandon them?! "
"I would rather not remove the Infatuation Gu so that I wouldn't dare to indulge my emotions. Even if I don't live past twenty years, it won't hurt any more than it does now!"
She, who had always been strong, thought that there was no one around, thus revealing such a weak and helpless appearance.
Her thin shoulders shook so violently that even the firelight could not warm her desperate gaze.
Shen Ling Jue's heart ached so much that he found it hard to breathe, but he forced himself not to take a step forward.
If they met again, they would still part ways. Why would they bother with her again?
There were too many problems that she had yet to solve. Even if he appeared now, she might not necessarily accept it …
Feng Ning Yan held the wine jug high up, but there wasn't a single drop left in the jug.
Without alcohol, what could paralyze her painful heart?
She tightly pressed her chest that could not be penetrated, and shouted towards the silent forest: "Shen Ling Jue, if you are really by my side, then come out! "Come out and see me!"
"If you help me like this secretly and make me owe you a favor, I will only feel worse! I am the Young Commander of the Southern Ning Army, not your Princess Huajia! "I don't need your help to take back the Southern Yong Pass …"
Her words were strong, but the tears that kept flowing revealed her weakness.
The longing caused her strong will to shatter like an eggshell. Her body could no longer hold on and she fell to her knees on the ground.
"Shen Ling Jue … I... I miss you so much... Where the hell are you... "Where is he …"
"Yan'Er …" Shen Lingjue's throat was choked with sobs, but he did not dare to call out her name.
He was afraid that she would miss him at this moment because of his drunken indulgence. Because if she wasn't drunk, she wouldn't be this impulsive and weak.
While he was hesitating whether he should go up or not, Jing Qi still couldn't help but be anxious.
"My prince, can you bear to see the wangfei cry there? What a sad body! Hurry up and see her … "
Shen Ling Jue gritted his teeth and forced himself to turn around, no longer looking at Feng Ning Yan.
"I didn't take back the Southern Yong Pass and settle the war in the southern border. I didn't avenge her and the fallen soldiers. How could I have the face to see her again?"
Jing Qi finally understood the reason why the prince hadn't seen Feng Ning Yan for a long time.
He blamed himself for implicating the Feng family and Ning Nanyan, so right now, he had to first eliminate all internal troubles and external troubles before he could openly return to Feng Ningyan's side. He had to fulfill his promise to protect her life and allow her to be his wangfei in peace.
"I understand!"
The time had passed, and the cold suddenly arrived. A great mist instantly rose up from the mountain.
The white fog shrouded the forest, and everything became blurry.
The fog had moistened Feng Ningyan's eyebrows. It was cool, and had dispersed some of her drunkenness. Only then did she gradually regain consciousness.
The moonlight and star radiance had disappeared, and the bonfire was about to go out.
She seemed to have left the camp for some time!
She gave a start and hurriedly got up. She extinguished the bonfire, lay down by the stream and used cold water to wash away her tears. She also became more clear-headed and quickly walked back to the barracks.
