Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Chapter 147 Nangong Jingcheng's Question

After Nan Jinming discussed with the Imperial Master, they planned to set off the next day. These things were too complicated, and they still needed to find Chu Xiaoran first.

After Nan Jinming came out of the White Pagoda, he looked around. It was pitch black near the Imperial Garden and no other pedestrians were visible.

The party should have ended a long time ago.

When Nan Jinming came out around the rockery, he didn't expect a graceful man to appear in front of him. He wanted to go around him, but the man opposite him suddenly spoke.

"You've been missing for so many years, hiding from me for so many years, and now you're unwilling to face me?"

Nan Jinming looked at the owner of the voice, only to see that person's eyes were filled with sadness and resentment. That person was Nangong Jingcheng.

She knew that the two of them might meet soon, but she didn't expect it to be an accident under such circumstances. How should she face her feelings?

Nan Jinming was too sober and rational. She didn't want to implicate anyone, and it took her enough time to confess her feelings to Chu Xiaoran. Moreover, people like Nan Jinming, once they decide on someone, will only be with that person for the rest of their life.

"Your Highness Feng Jun has recognized the wrong person. I am Nan Jinming."

Nangong Jingcheng sneered, and his voice sounded extremely shrill in the quiet night.

"Did I recognize the wrong person? Did I really recognize you wrongly? Murong Beitang! How long are you going to pretend!"

Nangong Jingcheng bit her lip, unable to express the pain in her heart. Looking at the sad expression of the person in front of her, she felt even sadder.

"Your Highness Feng Jun, calm down and take care of your health. I'll take my leave."

Nan Jinming walked forward and passed Nangong Jingcheng head-on, but Nangong Jingcheng grabbed her sleeve. She turned around in confusion, and the man in front of her threw himself into her arms.

"Murong Beitang, why don't you want to recognize me? Why!"

Nangong Jingcheng always looks indifferent in front of outsiders, but he is the only one who knows that during the years of searching for Murong Beitang, his hopes were ignited again and again, and then shattered again and again, and he is almost going crazy.

"Your Highness, please respect yourself."

Nangong Jingcheng's body stiffened for a moment as he hugged Nan Jinming, and then he hugged the man in front of him tightly, wanting to carve him into his bones.

Nan Jinming frowned slightly, her eyes showing no desire or ambition. She just wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible and go to Yu State to find Chu Xiaoran.

"Murong Beitang, in your heart, am I really not as good as that lowly merchant's son?"

Nan Jinming stretched out his hand and tried to push away Nangong Jingcheng who was hugging him, but the man was using too much force and he could not push him away. Besides, both of them were skilled in martial arts, so Nangong Jingcheng was stronger than an ordinary man.

"I don't want it, unless you tell me what's really in your heart. Do you have any love for me at all?"

Nan Jinming said coldly that the longer she stayed in the palace, the more danger she would be in. Moreover, Nangong Jingcheng's identity was different now, so he naturally couldn't argue with Nan Jinming anymore. If others saw it, they would misunderstand him.

"No."

Nan Jinming didn't want to hurt him, but if he continued to pester him like this, he might never be able to leave the palace.

Nangong Jingcheng's eyes were visibly lonely, and then he let go of Nan Jinming's hand: "Then tell me, what's so good about him?"

"He doesn't need to be very good, it's enough for me to like him."

Nan Jinming didn't want to explain too much. Seeing him let go of her hand, she turned around and was about to leave.

"If you want to go out today, you must leave me an answer."

Nangong Jingcheng stretched out his hand, and at some point, a long sword appeared in his hand, pointing straight at Nan Jinming in front of him.

The moon was exceptionally round today, and the two figures fell into the pond. Originally a handsome man and a beautiful woman, but now, the two were confronting each other.

"I have already told you the answer you wanted."

"Have you ever liked me?"

Nan Jinming sighed. Nangong Jingcheng just liked to dwell on trivial matters. Sometimes all he wanted was an answer, but when he heard the answer he was unwilling to believe the reality.

Nangong Jingcheng is rather stubborn and has been like this since he was a child.

"No."

Nan Jinming didn't want to go against his conscience and deceive him. Even if he was unwilling to let him leave the palace, that was fine. He had plenty of ways to get out.

"good, very good, excellent."

A sad look appeared on Nangong Jingcheng's face. He looked at Nan Jinming in front of him, shook his head repeatedly, and the sword in his hand kept shaking.

This was the first time he pointed a sword at his beloved; before, he only pointed it at his enemies.

"So there's really no possibility for the two of us? You really don't want to give me a chance?"

"Now that you have married into the palace, you are the high and mighty Lord Feng. You have to consider the common people and the Prime Minister's Mansion. Just pretend that you have never seen me today. Just pretend that I am dead."

"What about my aunt? What about the Murong family? You have deceived them for so long, why? Why?"

Nan Jinming turned around, unwilling to answer, and left quickly. There was only one way in and out of the palace, but she knew where Yan Qiu was waiting for her.

Sure enough, when Nan Jinming arrived at the palace gate, he saw Yan Qiu's carriage parked there.

"Why are you coming back now?"

"We talked about a lot of things."

"Let's go."
