In the room of Yiling villa
Gong Ming sat thoughtfully for a long time without saying a word. Tang youyou sat by the bed, but he couldn't concentrate. His eyes were open and closed, and he always wanted to observe Gong Ming's movements.
Finally, she couldn't help saying, "what's the matter with you?"
Hearing this, Gong Ming turned his head and looked at her. His deep eyes narrowed and he said with a smile, "don't you want to take a serious breath? Why do you always peek at me?"
Tang youyou curled his lips, "you have something on your mind, I can see that if you don't say it, I can't concentrate."
With a sigh, Gong Ming got up and came to her. He took her hand and fiddled with her, "nothing's wrong."
"Lying." Tang you squints at him and doesn't believe what he says.
Gong Ming knows that he can't cheat her, but he doesn't want to let these things disturb her. He reaches out his hand and hugs her in his arms, and says faintly, "I want to go back to Liao, but I can't bear you."
Hearing this, Tang youyou was silent for a moment. He seemed to regret asking him, "why?"
"My father is very ill."
Tang youyou gently twisted his eyebrows, then sat up from his arms and looked at him suspiciously, "how do you know?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Tang youyou pursed his lips and gritted his teeth and said, "they told you. I'll go to them to settle the accounts."
With that, Tang youyou got up angrily. Gong Ming was stunned and quickly dragged her back. "Well, what do you want to do? They are your parents. You can't be unreasonable. "
Tang youyou shrugged his hand unwillingly, "what about parents? They don't want me first, and they don't mean what they say. They said they would let you stay, but they secretly told you about it. If they didn't mean it, why didn't they let me know?"
Seeing her like this, Gong Ming couldn't help laughing. He reached for her chin and looked at her angry face. "Do you know how lovely you are now? Don't let me love you any more. I'm about to lose myself. "
Smell speech, Tang youyou purple eyes slightly contain, flatter smile said: "then you lose yourself, for me, don't go to tube that Liao emperor, he is not your father, he let your mother life pain, he knows you have the danger of life but ignore, such a person, why do you pay attention to him?"
Gong Ming hasn't told her about it for two days. The reason is nothing more than these. He doesn't even know how to sort out the tangles in his heart. If he has half of Tang youyou's rationality, maybe he won't be bothered by it at all.
"You're right, but that's why I want to go back and ask him why he did this. I've paid so much for Liao. If I can't get a statement from him, is my contribution just to bury my mother's life?"
Looking at Gong Ming mentioning that the queen is a sad eye, Tang youYou can't help feeling a little distressed. She went up to encircle his waist and put her face on his chest. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the death of the queen. If it wasn't for my carelessness, I wouldn't let anyone have such an opportunity. I know you're sad, and I know I can't stop you from thinking of going back to Beijing, but It's hard for us to get together. I don't know when we'll see each other again. I can't bear to part with you. "
In the past, Tang youyou only thought that only lies would make her catchy, but now she knows that the original soft waxy love story is not too difficult.
Gong Ming put his arm around her soft waist, stroked her head, and kissed her forehead. He said softly, "it won't be long. Believe me, I'll come back to you soon. I know you're OK. No matter how you are, I won't let myself be in trouble. I asked uncle Huang that your injury needs to be treated for a while. I promise I'll come back before you recover."
For a long time, Tang youyou asked: "when are you going to leave?"
"Tomorrow?"
Smell speech, Tang youyou embraces his hand to loosen suddenly, "you already planned to leave?"? If I don't ask today, are you going to leave tomorrow? "
Seeing that she was suddenly annoyed, Gong Ming stretched out his hand and took her. Just as he wanted to explain, Tang youyou shook his hand and glared at him, "OK, you go, don't say I didn't remind you. Ten days, if you can't come back, I won't wait for you here."
Ten days?
Even if he is on his way, it will take at least seven or eight days to get to the capital. How can he get back in ten days?
"You know ten days is impossible. Besides, your body may not recover completely in ten days."
As soon as Tang youyou's breath was mentioned, she obviously felt that the internal breathing in her body was gradually returning. As soon as she pulled her mouth, she said with a sinister smile, "it's your business to catch up or not. It's my business to recover or not. Just take care of yourself. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether I live or die in your heart. You'd better start now. Otherwise, you won't be able to see your good father for the last time Blame me for this complaint. The little girl is weak, old and young, but she can't bear the responsibility. "
Seeing that she was so angry, Gong Ming seemed to be a little stunned. She asked, and he talked about it with the attitude of discussing with her. Why did she get angry when he said that?"Huanhuan..."
"Well, you go now. I don't want to see you."
Gong Ming just opens his mouth. Tang youyou's head deviates and interrupts him coldly. Seeing this, Gong Ming frowns slightly. He wants to go back to Beijing, but he can't rest assured to put her here.
Regardless of Tang youyou's struggle, he held her tightly in his arms. "You know how much I don't want to give up on you. Why do you want to say such things to me? If you don't want to see me, who do you want to see? If you can, I really want to take you with me, but I don't trust you. Uncle Huang and aunt Qiao won't allow me to do this. Be nice and wait for me here Don't go missing like last time, I'll be crazy. "
Slowly, Tang youyou's struggling body slowly softened down. She drooped her arms and still didn't want to respond to him. She leaned against Gong Ming's chest and said in a stuffy voice: "anyway, you want to throw me alone. Why do you have to tell me these nice things? You don't care about me. I won't be stupid again and die for you!"
Smell speech, Gong Ming light smile, "I didn't want to leave you, I just can't bear you running, I promise you, this time just leave, won't be too long."
The hand on the side of the body can't help but lift. She encircles his waist and says with a bad heart: "I'm going to make some medicine to make you dizzy tonight. I'll wake you up after the emperor of Liao is dead."
Gong Ming chuckles and doesn't take it seriously. It's not that he doesn't believe that she will do such a thing. It's because he struggles with her clothes every day. He really doesn't see any suspicious medicine. She has to do some simple ulcer medicine now, not to mention that she can bewilder him.
"Well, I'm willing to accept your poison, as long as you can do it."
The next morning Gong Ming left. Tang youyou sat in the main hall all morning without moving. Seeing this, Qiao Zhimei couldn't help worrying: "huan'er has been sitting here for a long time. It's past noon now, so he should be hungry."
Seeing that Tang youyou was silent, Qiao Zhimei looked at Jun menglang in embarrassment. "Either my mother asked someone to prepare something for you, and after eating it, it's time to go to Gongge with your father."
With a long sigh, Tang youyou finally got some reaction. She took a look at Qiao Zhimei, then drew back her eyes and said listlessly: "I don't want to go today, I'm not in the mood."
Seeing that she finally opened her mouth, Qiao Zhimei smiles at ease. She gets up and comes to Tang youyou and touches her head. "Silly child, my mother knows that you can't bear him to go, but he's not going to come back this time. You'll be well when he comes back. Isn't that good?"
Tang youyou calm face, avoid Qiao Zhimei's hand, "what's good, know I don't want him to go, but you just tell him that the emperor of Liao is seriously ill, if you don't mean it, I don't believe it."
Hearing this, Jun Meng Lang got up and came over, "yes, I did mean to tell him about it, but it's not because I wanted to separate you. The emperor of Liao was very ill. Whether it was out of filial piety or seeking the truth, I believe Gong Ming would like to go back. If you really don't want him to go, as long as you just want to ask him to stay, he will not hesitate to stay, But you didn't do it because you know what he thought in his heart. You don't want to embarrass him. Son, since you know it in your heart, why are you angry with yourself here? "
Tang youyou was scared by what he said. His drooping eyelashes glanced uneasily. Then he suddenly got up, "yes, I know everything. So what? If it wasn't for you telling him this, I would have complained about myself like now. I said that you would die, but he said that you would stay, but you paved the way for him. You are the same Can't I get through it
Seeing that she began to be annoyed, Qiao Zhimei stroked her back eagerly. "Well, well, we are not good. We should not tell him about it, and we should not let him leave like this. It's the parents' thoughtlessness. Huan'er is obedient. Don't be angry."
Tang youyou closed her eyes and panted. Although Jun menglang said that his body would take nearly a month to recover, in recent days, she has obviously felt that the sealed breath in her body is gradually opening. The overflowing physical strength makes her feel comfortable. Although it doesn't show much, the feeling of breeding is still very obvious.
At this time, a servant girl came in from the door. She took a look at Tang you, and then said, "master, madam, the little master is back."
Smell speech, Qiao Zhi Mei and Jun Meng Lang two people complexion a joy, but Tang you is Leng Leng.
Little master, do these two people have children besides her
"Mother -"
listening to the voice from far to near, Tang youyou turns around in a daze. Seeing the two little ghosts coming, Tang youyou is stunned and can't recover.
Two little guys and excited ran in from the door, directly fell on Tang youyou's leg, tightly hugged, "mother, we miss you so much."
Tang you couldn't believe looking at them, "you How did you get here? "
"Green embroidery brought us here."
Hearing this, Tang youyou turns his head to see the green embroidery. Before he can open his mouth, he sees her kneeling on one knee, but she faces"I've met the master, madam."
"Subordinates?" Looking at the green embroidery, Tang youyou completely covered, she took a look at the South shadow standing in front of the door, and saw that he also looked at the kneeling person with a puzzled face.
"Get up, it's hard for you." Qiao Zhimei gave a faint smile.
Seeing that green embroidery is obedient, Tang youyou looks at Jun menglang in astonishment, "isn't it You said that the people you put in beside ming'er and rui'er are "Green embroidery?"
After that, Tang youyou felt that she asked how ridiculous this was. She shook her head and then said, "how can it be that green embroidery is always crying? How can it be the people you put in my side?"
Tang Yuming shook Tang youyou's leg and said, "mother, you don't know, green embroidery is very powerful. She has two short blades, which can kill a lot of people overnight. I saw it with my own eyes."
After looking at Tang Sirui and seeing that he didn't refute Tang Yuming's words, Tang youyou knows that it's true. But is it possible?
But think about it, Jun Meng Lang and his wife can understand her so clearly. How could they have done it so easily if they had not planted a person whom she trusted all around her?
"Miss Tang? Are you really miss Tang? " Standing in front of the door, Nanying no longer wants to know what's going on. Overnight, it seems that the whole world has changed.
Once that timid and weak green embroidery, in a twinkling of an eye, became a murderous dark protection, and the man who had been his saint for several months suddenly became his master. How could he accept it?
Tang youyou looked at the South shadow, looked at his face surprised, finally admitted nodded, "I am, but how can you also follow?"
Smell speech, South shadow can't help but see green embroider one eye, and then bitterly smile, "Miss Tang don't know, subordinates don't come with them, but robbed."
This words Tang you some don't understand, see this, Tang Yuming kindly explained: "South shadow is green embroidered under the medicine, drag the car, tied."
Although this explanation is not very accurate, but it's almost the same. Seeing that Nanying and lvxiu have no explanation, Tang youyou suddenly laughs, "Oh? It turned out to be a robbery. Did you want to be the husband of the stronghold by robbing the people
On hearing this, green embroidery face suddenly red, South shadow also uncomfortable light cough, "Miss Tang misunderstood, although she was under the medicine, but has already recovered, the subordinate just don't trust two little masters, so just endure humiliation with her to come here."
Endure humiliation?
This seems to be some serious, Tang youyou Lian Lian smile, looked at the green embroidery, see her head down, face is full of plain grievances.
Although I don't know what happened between them, Tang youyou still thinks that there must be some misunderstanding. "Nanying, what you said seems to be overdone. How can she..."
Tang youyou's words haven't finished, green embroidery suddenly interrupted her and said: "Miss, you don't need to explain for the slave. The slave is a liar, which has already become a fact in some people's eyes. The slave is cheap, which naturally insults his guard."
"You..." Smell speech, South shadow immediately feel that this woman unreasonable, he all the way to ask her identity, but she refused to say anything, now in front of her young lady, she began to complain.
"Miss Tang, things are not what she said."
Tang you can probably think of how things happened. The timid green embroidery suddenly kills people without blinking an eye. Even she can't accept it, let alone Nanying.
She took a look at the two embarrassed people, and then said: "I don't want to care about you two. I'm seriously injured and I don't care about your trivial things. To solve this problem, you don't have to explain it to me, but you two go out of this room, find a place where there is no one, and have a quiet talk."
Hearing the speech, they were all silent. Tang youyou looked down at the two little guys, shrugged his shoulders, and then looked at Nanying again. "It's really unfortunate that you're here. Gong Ming left in the morning. If I had known you were coming, I would have stayed him for half a day."
"Have you met the Lord?" South shadow incredible excited way.
Tang you nodded and then touched the heads of the two children.
Looking at the smile on her face, Tang Sirui dropped his eyes lightly. For a long time, he asked, "is it the king of Mo City?"
The smile on Tang youyou's face was stiff, and he raised his eyebrow. "How does rui'er know?"
How to know, Tang Sirui can't tell how he knows. After Mr. Mocheng saved Tang Yuming, he always felt that this person was strange, maybe because of his company all night, maybe because of some familiar feeling in his heart. In a word, he just felt that Mr. Mocheng was Gong Ming.
"Mother, where's dad? Why did he leave?" Tang Yuming looks sad with a small face.
"He went back to Liao."
Seeing that Tang youyou was silent again, Qiao Zhimei could not help sighing. She came to look at Tang Yuming and Tang Sirui, and said with a smile, "good boy, come and let Grandma have a look."Hearing this "grandma", Tang Yuming looked at Qiao Zhimei strangely, "grandma? Isn't grandma your mother's mother
Looking at her surprised little face, Qiao Zhimei said with a smile, "that's right. I'm your mother's mother."
Words fall, Qiao Zhimei thought she would come, but who knows that small eyebrow gently twist, avoid Qiao Zhimei outstretched hand said: "mother's mother died long ago, how can you be my grandmother?"
Hearing the speech, Qiao Zhimei's hand froze, and his face began to become embarrassed. Seeing this, Tang Sirui secretly tugged Tang Yuming. Although he couldn't figure out whether her words were true or false, their mother didn't speak. However, Tang Yuming's words made the person who claimed to be their grandmother feel lost, and he looked a little impatient.
Tang Yuming looks back at Tang Sirui. She doesn't think she's saying anything wrong.
Even Tang Sirui finds Qiao Zhimei's embarrassment. Can Tang youyou not see it? She pushes her two children to Qiao Zhimei and says, "ming'er, rui'er, she's your grandmother. She's not dead. There are people over there. He's your grandfather. Please call someone."
Tang youyou said that Qiao Zhimei and Jun menglang were both stunned. For so long, she never said that she wanted to recognize them, but now she asked her children to call them grandparents. What does that mean?
When they were excited, they saw Tang Yuming looking back at Tang you and asked strangely, "my mother is so strange. Isn't our grandfather in the Tang family in Beijing? Why does my mother want us to call him grandfather now?"
Tang youyou is silent for a moment. She really knows how to explain this matter to the two children. How can they understand such a complicated relationship?
Seeing that Tang youyou was in a dilemma, Jun menglang came forward to comfort him and said, "forget it. It doesn't matter. If they don't want to call me, just let them call me the master like you."
"Yes, don't force the children, they are still young."
I can see how sad Qiao Zhimei was when she said this. Her daughter didn't recognize her, and now even her grandson refused to call her. She said she didn't care, but she didn't feel as light as she said.
Tang youyou takes a look at them, then squats down, looks at Tang Yuming and Tang Sirui, and says: "before, my mother did tell you that my grandmother died, but she just knew that she was not dead. Besides, the grandfather of the Tang family is just the one who raised my mother, not your own grandfather. Their parents are them, and your grandparents are also him Ladies and gentlemen, I promise you that there will be no mistake this time. Now can you call me? "
Smell speech, don't wait for the two children to respond, Qiao Zhimei covers her mouth, happy tears, Jun menglang eyes slightly red, go to Qiao Zhimei body side pat her shoulder, although Tang youyou hasn't called their parents, but her words have clearly told them, she admitted them.
Tang Yuming and Tang Sirui look at each other, then turn around and look at them for a long time. Tang Yuming comes forward carefully, reaches out his fleshy little hand and gently pulls raqiao to stop the charm. "Grandma, I'm sorry, ming'er just said something wrong, don't cry."
Listening to the soft words, Qiao Zhimei smiles. She squats in front of Tang Yuming and hugs her in her arms. "Good boy, you're right."
On the other hand, Tang Sirui came to Jun menglang, and his serious little face showed a little smile, "grandfather."
Jun Meng Lang took a deep breath, bent over and picked him up, "good, good."
Seeing these two elders like this, Tang youyou could not help but laugh. "Now, you don't have to catch me alone. Ming'er rui'er, you are here to accompany your grandparents. My mother has something to say to Nanying and lvxiu."
Seeing Tang youyou leave, Qiao Zhimei is still a little worried, but after thinking about it, she has to know some things sooner or later. Now that the identity of green embroidery is exposed, she needs to know the whole story, which is not to blame.
In the room, when Tang youyou heard what happened that night in linlangge, she didn't show too much surprise. Someone wanted to kill her before, but now that person wants to kill her child again. Although she still doesn't know what the motive of this person is, it's hard to deal with him.
Eyes fell on the embarrassed two people again, Tang youyou brow tip a pick, lesson like said: "green embroidery, you hide in my side for so many years, now tell me you are a spy, say, how do you want me to punish you?"
Smell speech, green embroider immediately aggrieved way: "young lady, I am not intentional."
Tang youyou turned his head, and his face was still rigorous. "Listen to ming'er, you have two short blades. Take them out and have a look."
Green embroidery with lips, see Tang you don't seem to be joking, so she slowly squat down, take out two slightly curved knife from the ankle, get up and put on the table beside Tang you.
Tang youyou glanced at it lightly, then picked up one and played with it in his hand. "It's a good knife. I don't know you can carry this kind of thing with you. It's really dangerous."
Green embroidery hanging head, in her impression, the more calm her young lady is, the more things will happen later. Her hands are tightly intertwined, and she doesn't know what she wants to do next.
Tang you left his eyes from the blade, glanced at Green embroidery, pulled the corner of his mouth, and said: "you should know that for those who have betrayed me, I always don't want to stay, but for the sake of your hard work and many years by my side, you should give up your hands."Say, Qiang of a, the short blade in the hand threw the foot of green embroider.
Green embroider looks at the knife at the foot in horror, she can't even believe what she heard, "Miss..."
Tang you's cold eyes looked at her indifferently, "how, do you think my punishment is light? When you took over this matter, didn't you think about the consequences? "
Of course, she had thought about the consequences. She even thought that after she knew her identity, she would be killed by a silver needle. Now she just let her break her arm. She really thought about the past.
Green embroider trembling squat down, pick up the short blade on the ground, a familiar knife, but now it is used to hurt yourself.
Breathing slightly, she stood up and looked at Tang youyou. The moisture in her eyes not only knew whether she was afraid or sad, "Miss, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't cheat you, but now I don't want to explain anything. Thank you for sparing me."
Suddenly, Nanying, who hasn't spoken for a long time, comes forward and takes the knife from lvxiu. She says, "princess, how can you blame lvxiu for this? Since the villa master and his wife are your parents, they sent lvxiu to you just to protect you. Now she hasn't done anything wrong, why can't you spare her?"
Smell speech, Tang you long eyebrow a pick, purple eyes lazy glance South shadow, the face seems to be some displeasure, "South shadow, what qualifications do you have in front of me for her intercession, you think you are Gong Ming's person, you can say in front of me? How to punish green embroidery is my business. Even if what I want today is not her hand but her life, then it's no one's turn to beg. Besides, don't you doubt her as well? "
"I..." He was suspicious, but he didn't want to kill her. Otherwise, how could they be so safe along the way.
Seeing that he couldn't say what he wanted to say, Tang youyou dropped her eyes and gave a cold smile. She picked up a short blade on the table, turned the blade, and handed the handle to Nanying. "Well, since you want to plead for her, I'll give you a chance. I'll decide today's hand, but I don't care who it is."
Looking at Nanying holding Tang youyou's knife without hesitation, green embroidery is surprised. She grabs his grip and shakes her head crazily. "No, no, miss. I beg you. Let him go because I've been waiting on you for so many years."
Seeing this, Nanying twists her eyebrows and pushes her aside without saying a word. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt you. In fact, I know in my heart that if you want to harm two little masters, you don't have to do anything when you are in the Linlang Pavilion. It's my narrow-minded suspicion of you that I'm willing to express my regret."
Seeing that he really waved the short blade, suddenly, green embroidery turned the blade in her hand and directly touched her throat, "Nanying, if you dare to mess with me, I will die here today."
South shadow smell speech a Zheng, turn a head to see that knife blade already embedded in her neck, silk of bright red slide down her neck, dye red on her body green.
However, what made him even more distressed was her tearful face.
"Green embroidery..."
When they were entangled and sad, they suddenly heard a Chi smile. Hearing the sound, they turned to look at Tang youyou and saw that she got up slowly. Her deep face had already been replaced by a faint smile. "Tut Tut, I still said that there was no adultery. Even my life was given out. I'm a lonely family, so I can't see you like that."
She looked at them in disgust, then put a medicine bottle in her hand into Nanying's hand and said, "I knew today, why did I say so many cruel words to whom? Now that she's hurt, are you satisfied? Do you think it's a good way to get rid of hate? You two have any grudges. I can only help you here. This is the sore medicine. There are some white cloth in the cupboard over there. Ah, I'm tired. I'll come here today. You can do it for yourself. "
Then, regardless of the two people who were stunned, Tang youyou walked out of the room slowly and walked to the door. He did not forget to turn back and take the door with him. His red lips gently hooked up. The deep radian was full of evil.
See Tang youyou go out, green embroidery body a paralysis, the whole person fell to sit on the ground, tears can't stop flowing down.
See this, South shadow hurried forward, want to appease, but don't know what to do, looked at her skirt stained with blood, South shadow can't help but frown, "I'll help you with the medicine."
Green embroider just cry, motionless, as if did not hear what he said, see her cry so, South shadow really can't imagine that night ruthless butcher / kill the woman in black and she is the same person.
He stretched out his hand to pull her, but she still didn't move. In a hurry, Nan Ying picked her up. Suddenly, the cry stopped suddenly, and her eyes soaked with tears looked at him in amazement.
Nanying puts her on the stool and says nothing. She turns to take some bandages from the cupboard that Tang youyou just pointed out, and then goes back to the table again.
Nanying raises her chin and doesn't give her a chance to resist. She is more careful in her action of applying medicine, so that she can hardly feel his presence. Until she bandages up her wound, his locked eyebrow never loosens.
For a long time, when the room was quiet, and there was no breath, Nanying suddenly said, "I'm sorry."Green embroidery gently shook his head, did not speak.
For this reason, Nanying was embarrassed, "well You have a good rest. I'll go first. "
Seeing that he got up and left, green embroidery still didn't open her mouth until the moment he opened the door. Green embroidery opened her mouth and asked weakly, "why do you want to save me?"
Bang, open the door is forced to be closed, green embroider startled, turn to see, see South shadow full face resentful stride, green embroider surprised to get up, look at him like this, have the intention to crush her posture.
But before he could step back, his arm was suddenly grabbed by him. Nanying grabbed her and cried out: "are you stupid? Ah? Even if she is your miss, she let you unload your arm, can't you say two soft words? Don't you know martial arts? Can't you run? Why do you want to hurt yourself? Why do you want to hurt yourself? I said I'd help you, shouldn't you be happy, a person who doubts you all the way, shouldn't you want me to die? "
Smell speech, green embroider side cry side shake head, the arm is pinched by him of some ache, but she even ache all can't call out.
Suddenly, Nanying takes her in her arms. The strength of the sudden tightening almost turns the back of green embroidery. Green embroidery is shocked and wants to push him away, but his soft voice rings in her ear.
"I like you. Believe it or not, I really like you, but it's because I like you that I feel sorry for your concealment. I really complain that you didn't tell me that the saint is Miss Tang, but I have no right to blame you, because I also concealed the fact that master Mo is the Lord. Many times along the way, I want to reconcile with you, but you always treat me with indifference. I really don't know how to open my mouth. I don't want to doubt your identity when I press you. I just want to hear your truth, lvxiu. I don't know if I can get your forgiveness, but at least I want you to know that you are really good in my heart. "
Green embroider will face buried in his chest, forbear not to let himself make a sound, tears wet the South shadow of the skirt, but South shadow because can't hear her answer and lost.
Let go of embrace her hand, South shadow dim of hang down Mou, but didn't see green embroider on the face of move and heartache, "sorry, is I reckless."
This words a, green embroider Leng Leng, but she choked in the throat, really what words all can't say, see he turn around to walk, green embroider suddenly come forward to pull his hand, pull Da to shake his head hard.
Seeing this, Nanying felt tight and looked at her crying face, "you..."
