My enemies became my companions

Chapter 276: Living for One Person (Two-in-One)

In the first floor of the East Palace girl's boudoir, the dusk was heavy and the sky was dark. Min Ning took out a candle from the cupboard and lit it with a flint. The candlelight reflected her heroic yet sad eyebrows.

Raising her head, she looked along the stairs to the second floor. She didn't even notice that her eyes were dim.

This Yuchun ointment was originally meant for her own use.

What a good idea it was at that time. I just applied medicine to that bastard when he was not prepared.

But why did she... why did she...

Thinking of this, Min Ning felt upset.

She knew very well that the bastard was a sex-hungry maniac, and she knew even more clearly that the princess was better than her in every way.

But somehow I took the wrong medicine...

Isn't she delivering food and supplies to the enemy or something?
Feeling upset, Min Ning pressed her forehead. She wanted to rush forward and push open the door several times, but she stopped in the end.

She felt uneasy. The longer she stayed here, the more she felt that this boudoir was like a cage.

It was as if she was impatient with the capital city, and now she was also impatient with this boudoir.

"Miss Min, would you like to chat?"

Suddenly, a voice came to his ear. Min Ning turned his head and saw that the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult had a red face.

She suddenly remembered that there was some empathy between the princess and the prince.

Thinking of this, Min Ning frowned even deeper and said, "There's nothing to talk about with you..."

Zhu E burst out laughing, rubbed his legs together, his eyes fell on the stairs, and his lips opened and closed.

Min Ning didn't want to talk to her, and so did she. Ever since they met, she felt that she and Min Qianhu were naturally repelled.

But now they are leaving, and a short separation is better than a new marriage. Whenever Zhu'e thinks of this, she can't help missing him even before they leave. She wants to know more about him so that she can recall him often when she returns to the palace.

Zhu E continued, "Miss Min, you said there's nothing to talk about, but don't we still have him to talk about?"

he…

Min Ning got angry when she mentioned him, and was about to say something, but then she realized it belatedly and said, "Why... why do you call me Miss Min?

"This disguise can fool ordinary people, but it can't fool me." Zhu E covered her mouth and chuckled. She looked at Min Ning, who had a puzzled and strange look, and said slowly: "I am a Miao. I know much more about these things than you."

Min Ning was a little embarrassed that her disguise method had been denied. In addition, the princess was naturally charming, which made her feel uncomfortable. However, she suppressed her thoughts and said, "There is nothing to talk about with him."

Zhu E asked doubtfully, "What about you and him?"

Min Ning snorted and said, "He and I have a clean relationship."

After she finished speaking, she saw Zhu E's blushing face. Thinking of what happened in the bedroom, she pinched her thigh regretfully under the wooden table. She gritted her teeth and said something inexplicably.

“…I consider him half-master.”

Zhou Yitang:?

Zhu E's face lit up when he heard the words "half master" and he asked curiously, "Half master? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Min Ning stared at the candle flame, not meeting her gaze, and said, "I taught him how to use the skill of destroying the wind and cutting the rain, and I came up with the name as well."

Princess Annan, who was kind and gentle, sensed something unusual in the words, and asked casually, "Then he... um... did he know that you are half his master?

Hearing this sudden interruption, Min Ning's heart trembled and tightened, and he stiffened his neck and said, "He just refuses to bow down, but he naturally respects me in his heart."

"Oh~"

Zhu E stretched out her tone, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Min Ning didn't know. She only saw her leaning lightly on the table in ecstasy.

Fox Meizi!
Min Ning cursed inwardly and turned her head to look at the second floor. She felt a blockage in her heart and an inexplicable discomfort, so she stood up subconsciously.

"Does he respect you in his heart?" Zhu E asked with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, Min Ning sat back as if he had received an electric shock. "Oh, oh... Of course he respects me. I have known him for a long time and I am his superior. If not me, who else can he respect? Maybe he secretly calls me Master in his heart, but I just haven't discovered it. He hides it too deeply, and it has always been like this."

"Oh... not a fantasy, right?"

"..."

Min Ning's cheeks suddenly flushed, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"He knows what's going on."

At this moment, a creaking and shaking sound came from the second floor.

Her brows were furrowed as if they were about to break. She felt uncomfortable listening to it, but she couldn't cover her ears and ignore it, as that would be like trying to cover one's ears and steal a bell.

Zhu E smiled gently, her face intoxicated, even more charming. Min Ning saw the reaction of this vixen and said in a bad tone: "You ask me so many questions, didn't he tell you himself?"

"My husband will tell you, but we haven't met for long..." Zhu E stroked his abdomen intoxicatedly, raised his eyebrows and looked at Min Ning, half provocatively and half confusedly, "I have done what I should do..."

Fox Meizi!
Min Ning cursed in her heart again, and she couldn't help but sarcastically said, "You keep calling him sir, but you are clearly someone else's wife."

"Yes, so we are of one mind as husband and wife..." Zhu E chuckled. Min Ning's counterattack seemed to hit cotton.

"You guys!" Min Ning didn't know what to say for a moment, and an inexplicable grief and anger rose in his heart.

When she heard that Chen Yi was having fun in there, she became restless and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the bedroom. She kept saying that it was bright and clean, but... why was she feeling so bitter in her heart...

Min Ning gritted her teeth, a complex expression on her face. She didn't get angry, but just murmured, "Whatever he wants is his business. It has nothing to do with me."

"Well, it has nothing to do with you..."

This was originally a depressed and angry remark, but unexpectedly, that vixen did not know what politeness was and actually took over and said.

Min Ning pretended to be calm and said, "Of course it has nothing to do with it. What do you think, Princess?"

Zhu E thought about it for a while, and said absentmindedly: "Ah... Then after a few years, you can come to the palace. The prince's female identity is not convenient to be exposed. If you are willing to be a concubine, you can be a concubine. In fact, let alone a concubine, I will give up the position of the main wife. What's wrong with that?"

When Min Ning heard the words "main wife" and "concubine", her mind went blank.

What does this mean…

A few years later, will he become someone's principal wife or concubine?

Min Ning's hands couldn't stop shaking.

Suddenly, the whole world seemed to be still in front of her, and everywhere was a colorful chaos. A fact seemed to gradually surface, which made her feel inexplicably cruel...

She won’t... be unable to marry him, right?
Min Ning turned her head tremblingly, staring blankly at the second floor. In an instant, the whole building seemed to be shaking, everything was shaking, and a huge crack suddenly appeared, like an abyss. She seemed to see Chen Yi intoxicated in it, and Qin Qingluo's tall body swallowed him up in an instant, wrapping him up.

"Don't look at it. You can't replace the prince even if you look at it."

She subconsciously thought that it was Zhu E who was speaking, but the princess did not speak, she just lay on the table sobbing. Min Ning was shocked to realize that she was hallucinating, but although the voice was an auditory hallucination, the fact was not an illusion.

"I knew him first..."

"You are so close to the water that you still can't catch the moon. Are you useless?"

The auditory hallucination appeared again. Min Ning frowned, his cheeks twitched, and he stood still for a long time. He pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and rushed out the door without saying a word.

She didn't want to be there anymore!

Min Ning's figure suddenly disappeared in the boudoir of the East Palace girl. She jumped into the forest in an instant, her figure was like the wind, and in an instant, she was pulled a hundred feet away. But she still didn't stop, her mind was blank, as if she didn't know what stopping meant. She shuttled through the forest like crazy, smashing the falling leaves. She turned a hundred times, and her speed was extremely fast, but no matter how fast she was, it was not as fast as Qin Qingluo in her memory.

When Min Ning finally stopped, she turned her head and was surprised to find that the boudoir had disappeared without a trace, and she was already standing at the highest point of the hillside. It was empty everywhere, with no trees. When she raised her head, she could see the majestic evening sky, which seemed to be burning, all orange and yellow.

The majestic sky was pressing down very low, she began to breathe heavily, and suddenly she became quieter. She fell backwards and fell to the ground. She stared at the sky in a daze. At a certain moment, she suddenly became quiet, inexplicably quiet.

Why haven’t I seen such a vast sky before?

The breeze blew, and a leaf inexplicably floated down. Min Ning subconsciously picked it up and looked at the leaf infatuatedly. Suddenly, a voice came from his ear: "You were blinded by a leaf before."

This sounded like an answer.

Min Ning was stunned for a moment, and asked in a daze: "Who are you?"

“I am a leaf too.”

"Ye Zi?" Min Ning asked blankly.

"A leaf that blocks your eyes."

After hearing this, Min Ning looked at the leaves in her hand from time to time, and then looked at the dim sky in front of her. She listened to the person's words, not knowing who that person was. She only felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but these were not important. What was important were the leaves in front of her and the sky.

"A leaf blocks one's eyes, and one cannot see the sky." Min Ning was stunned for a long time, and muttered to himself, "Chen Yi is also a leaf?"

The voice seemed to know who Chen Yi was, "Of course."

Min Ning moved the leaves away and saw the vast sky again. The dusk was pressing very close and rushing towards her.

She suddenly felt that she had been trapped in a cage.

Yes, she was trapped in a cage, so she wanted to leave the capital.

The capital city is like a big cage, and she has been trapped in it for the past twenty years.

Min Ning became quiet at this moment, just like her name, and stared at the sky in a trance.

After a long while, she asked, "Ye Zi, who are you?"

The voice replied, "If you must call me by a name, then...'Zhuoyu'."

"Strange name." Min Ning murmured, and then asked: "Zhu Yu, why did you show up?"

"Move the leaves out of your sight."

"…Chen Yi?"

"good."

When mentioning him, Min Ning frowned again, and his heart, which had just calmed down, became restless again.

"Why... move him?"

"If you don't move him away, how can you see the sky?" Zhuo Yu sneered, "Even if you leave Beijing, your heart is still trapped here. What's the point of leaving Beijing?"

Min Ning fell silent. She knew in her heart that Zhuo Yu was right.

The capital city is like a cage that has trapped her for more than 20 years. She doesn't want to stay here any longer, otherwise she wouldn't have listened to her grandfather's words.

Min Ning moved the leaves away and looked at the sky again.

The sky was quiet and there was nothing left in his eyes except the sky. Qin Qingluo, who was much more heroic than himself, Zhu E, who was naturally coquettish, and even Chen Yi, all the worries and trivialities suddenly disappeared.

Min Ning looked for a long time. At first, he felt calm, but after being calm for a long time, he suddenly felt empty. There was nothing left in front of him except the sky. Even the sky was empty.

"Is there nothing left?" Zhuo Yu asked at the right time.

"Nothing is left." Min Ning replied in a daze.

She suddenly felt that the sky was inexplicably monotonous, and there had to be something more.

"Then find that leaf back."

When Min Ning heard the words, she was stunned. She didn't understand what was going on, so she turned her head suddenly and shouted several times. She was confused and wanted to find out what was going on, but there was no response.

She waited for a long time but still got no response. Then, she did as the voice said and gently picked up the leaf.

This time, the leaves did not cover the sky.

The leaves seemed to be integrated with the sky, yet seemed to be separated from the sky. Min Ning suddenly realized something.

Why should I be so upset about it?
Min Ning suddenly felt in a different mood.

"What am I afraid of?" Min Ning asked himself, and chuckled, "If Qin Qingluo really replaces me, then let him replace me."

In his heart, even if I can be replaced, what does it matter?

As long as he is in my heart and is irreplaceable, that's all.

Min Ning lay on the golden grass at dusk, closed his eyes gently, and let the breeze pass by.

In the woods far away.

Yin Tingxue held onto the tree, stretched her head forward, and looked at Min Ning curiously.

She vaguely sensed the subtle changes in Min Ning's mood.

Zhou Yitang, who had been staring blankly for a long time, finally opened her eyes. Yin Tingxue turned her head to look at her and asked softly, "What...did you do?"

Zhou Yitang said without looking away: "Have you ever heard the story of the old man with the ring?"

Yin Tingxue shook her head. She had never heard such a story before.

"That's what he told me." The one-armed woman said intentionally or unintentionally.

Yin Tingxue wanted to say "Oh", but she rolled her eyes and flattered softly: "He cares about you the most, and he never told me."

The one-armed woman seemed to enjoy it, and said, "To her, I am similar to this."

Yin Tingxue heard something and guessed, "In other words, you taught her and became half her master?"

Zhou Yitang did not deny it.

The girl scratched her head and asked softly, "Didn't you say that she was your rival? You two are going to compete with each other on the same road, right?"

Having read Buddhist scriptures and learned about Taoism, Yin Tingxue has always known what a person who fights for Taoism is.

In short, there are not many people who can walk on this road, and only one or two people can reach the top.

The Spring and Autumn Sword Master Min Ning mentioned by the one-armed woman was the person she would compete with in the future.

Zhou Yitang just said lightly:
"She can't compete with me."

The girl heard the weight of Jianjia's words and nodded slightly.

She looked at Min Ning, thought of something, and suddenly said:
"You are so nice to Chen Yi."

The woman who usually said one thing and meant another did not deny it, which was unusual:
"If you can live for hundreds or thousands of years, there's nothing wrong with living for one person for a few decades."
