Outside the Temple of Gods.
While waiting, Nangong Yueze took a walk alone outside the hall. The air here was very good, with a hint of fragrance, which made people feel refreshed.
After about half a cup of tea, two figures walked out from the side door of the Temple of Gods.
One of them is Chen Shuxian, and the other is Nangong Wanyan.
"Concubine, what wish did you make just now?" Nangong Wanyan held Chen Shuxian's arm and asked with her head tilted.
Chen Shuxian lowered her eyes with a little solemnity. After a moment, she gently stroked Nangong Wanyan's head and said softly: "Mother and concubine made a wish to the gods. First, I wish that your father will recover soon. Second, I hope that your father will recover soon." Your ninth brother can come back to us."
"Mother." Nangong Wanyan suddenly hugged Chen Shuxian's waist and said in a soft voice: "Don't worry, my father will definitely recover, and Ninth Brother will definitely come back."
Chen Shuxian sighed, "If your ninth brother really comes back, my mother-in-law is willing to shorten her life by twenty years..."
"Mother Concubine..." Nangong Wanyan's eyes turned red. Just as she was about to comfort her mother, a white figure not far away suddenly attracted her attention.
"Concubine, look, that figure from the back looks so much like Brother Ninth!!" Nangong Wanyan pointed forward and shouted in surprise.
Chen Shuxian looked along Nangong Wanyan's line of sight. Not far away, deep in the green shade, a man wearing a white brocade robe stood with his hands behind his back, staring at an orchid in front of him in trance.
Chen Shuxian stared blankly at the man's back, forgetting her reaction for a moment.
Even though he was just standing there, she could feel his strong presence.
Yes, that figure was the son she longed for day and night—Nangong Yueze!
As if aware that someone was looking at her, Nangong Yueze suddenly turned her head and met Chen Shuxian's eyes.
At that moment, his pupils suddenly tightened, and a trace of shock appeared on his face. He did not expect that he would meet Chen Shuxian and Nangong Wanyan here.
"Concubine, look! It's really Ninth Brother!!" Nangong Wanyan hurriedly pulled Chen Shuxian's sleeve and shouted, "The gods must have heard your prayers and returned Ninth Brother to us!"
"..." Chen Shuxian stared at Nangong Yueze blankly, and her voice couldn't help but tremble, "You... are you really Ze'er?"
She didn't dare to shout out, afraid that this was just a dream, afraid that Nangong Yueze in front of her would disappear again...
Seeing Chen Shuxian's slightly aged face, Nangong Yueze frowned in distress. Just as he was about to walk towards the two of them, Si Qin suddenly walked out from the main entrance of the hall, followed by a light blue fairy beside him. The commander of the robe.
Si Ming looked elegant and graceful, with a gentle curve at the corner of his mouth. But when he saw Nangong Yueze not far away, his steps immediately stopped and stopped in place.
"Immortal Si Qin, you just said someone wants to see me, is it him??" Siming turned to look at Si Qin, with unconcealable surprise in his tone.
Si Qin pursed his lips lightly, neither admitting nor denying, "Why, do you know who he is?"
"!!!" Three black lines immediately appeared on Si Ming's forehead, "Immortal Si Qin, aren't you kidding me? If you had told me that His Majesty the Moon Goddess was waiting for me outside the hall early in the morning, I wouldn't have delayed it for so long. Just came out..."
Hearing this, Si Qin glanced at him and said lightly: "It seems that His Highness is right. You have indeed met the Princess of the Water Tribe."
"I..." Si Ming was speechless and could only nod his head, "It was Princess Shui Tribe who told me that His Highness was in the mortal world at this time, so I... Immortal Officer Si Qin, what should I do now? Can you beg for mercy on my behalf..."
"Alas, I can't save you this time." Si Qin shook his head, showing a look of compassion, "You should be very clear about the temper of my Highness. The fact that he came to you in person proves that you really put him in this situation this time. If you are angry, just wish yourself well."
Siming had a mournful face and stared at Si Qin sadly.
This guy still loves to take pleasure in misfortune! !
At this time, Nangong Yueze had already walked up to the two of them, with no expression on his extremely handsome face: "Si Qin, go and take Concubine Chen and Wanyan away from here first."
"Yes, Your Highness." Si Qin nodded and walked towards the direction where Chen Shuxian and Nangong Wanyan were standing.
It wasn't until he saw the three people disappearing in front of him that Nangong Yueze turned his attention back to Siming, "Find a quiet place with few people. I have something to ask you."
"Uncle Junior, I..." Siming opened his mouth, but closed it after touching Nangong Yueze's cold eyes.
He knew that now was not the time to talk to him about the relationship between master, uncle and nephew.
"Yes, Your Highness, please come with Xiaoxian." Siming restrained all his emotions and said respectfully.
Soon, Nangong Yueze followed Siming to the backyard of the Temple of Gods. In order to prevent others from discovering it, Siming used his divine power to set up an invisible barrier around the entire backyard.
After everything was ready, Si Ming bowed respectfully to Nangong Yueze: "Xiao Xian pays his respects to His Majesty the Moon Goddess!!"
"Get up." Nangong Yueze raised his eyes and glanced at Si Ming who was standing in front of him. His voice was clear and indifferent, "It seems that Luo Yushang has indeed told you my identity in the mortal world. Tell me, she Why are you looking for me?"
"Returning to Your Highness, Princess Yushang did find Xiaoxian a few days ago. She said that she wanted to be a couple with Your Highness in the mortal world, and asked Xiaoxian to add her to His Highness's mortal life book..." Si Ming He lowered his head slightly and said respectfully.
"So you took it upon yourself to modify the destiny book??" Nangong Yueze's voice suddenly turned gloomy, and his dark phoenix eyes stared at Si Ming.
"Your Highness, please forgive me!!" Being frightened by Nangong Yueze's aura, Siming's calves trembled. Si Ming quickly knelt down and explained: "It was Princess Yu Shang who pestered Xiaoxian, saying that she would not marry anyone other than His Highness. She also said that she was originally Even if I want to marry His Highness, there is no harm in being a couple in the mortal world first, so... So Xiaoxian did as she said, but..."
Si Ming swallowed his saliva and continued: "Your Highness, you are the God of Heaven. Even if it is your mortal life book, the immortal cannot make any changes, so please rest assured, Your Highness, your mortal life book will remain the same as before. , is blank."
"What about other people's?" Nangong Yueze asked.
Siming lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Nangong Yueze again, "Xiao Xian dare not hide His Highness, Princess Yu Shang said, that mortal emperor is too selfish, putting pressure on you again and again, so Xiao Xian Teach him a lesson, Xiaoxian...Xiaoxian just took it upon himself to change his fate."
"Si Ming, I see that you are regressing as you live more and more!!" Nangong Yueze squinted his eyes, with a cold and biting light shining in his eyes, "When did you, the majestic Si Ming of the Si Ming Palace, start treating a water tribe princess?" Are you following my advice?!!”
Beads of sweat appeared on Siming's forehead. He lowered his head and did not dare to argue, "Your Highness, it is Xiaoxian who has not thought carefully. Please punish Xiaoxian."
"As the commander of orders, if you modify the life book of a mortal without authorization, you can go to God Lord Qionghua to receive your punishment. If it happens again, I will remove you from the position of commander of orders!!!" Nangong Yueze scolded sternly. .
"Yes...yes...Xiaoxian is willing to accept the punishment." Siming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and responded hurriedly.
Nangong Yueze ignored him and turned around to leave the backyard of the Temple of Gods.
…
The other side.
Si Qin was waiting with Chen Shuxian and Nangong Wanyan by the lakeside one mile away from the Divine Hall.
"Si Qin, what is going on? You and Ze'er, you are both still alive..." Chen Shuxian asked excitedly.
"Concubine Chen, it's a long story..." Si Qin pondered for a moment, "In short, His Highness doesn't like the marriage His Majesty forced on him, so..."
Chen Shuxian sighed softly, "This happened so suddenly. At that time, I didn't know why Your Majesty suddenly issued an order for Ze'er to marry a strange woman. I tried to persuade Your Majesty, but he didn't even know at that time. Don’t listen to me…”
Mentioning the past, Chen Shuxian's expression was full of sadness.
"Concubine Chen, please don't be too sad. No matter what, your Highness is fine now, so don't worry." Si Qin quickly comforted him.
"Yes." Chen Shuxian nodded. The moment she saw Nangong Yueze, she knew that her Ze'er was still alive.
After waiting for a while, Nangong Yueze's figure finally appeared by the lake.
"Your Highness." Seeing this, Si Qin hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Nangong Yueze nodded slightly, then walked slowly to Chen Shuxian, bowed and said, "I have met my mother and concubine."
"Ze'er..." Chen Shuxian's eyes turned red, and she quickly reached out and held Nangong Yueze's arm, "You... you are really still alive..."
"My mother and concubine are worried about me, but my son is still alive." He raised his lips lightly, and Nangong Yueze's eyes were full of tenderness.
"Ze'er..." Chen Shuxian couldn't say a word anymore and hugged Nangong Yueze tightly into her arms.
During this time, she always dreamed of Nangong Yueze lying on the ground dying, covered in blood.
Every time she woke up, she felt fear and despair.
Now, seeing her beloved son return safely, the stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Si Qin stood aside knowingly and did not disturb the two of them too much.
"Mother, I'm sorry, my son has made you worried again." Nangong Yueze said apologetically, stroking Chen Shuxian's back.
"You silly child, since you are alive, why don't you come back? You have made my mother and concubine worried for a long time." Chen Shuxian said with a choked voice as tears flowed down her face.
"Because..." Nangong Yueze opened her thin lips and smiled bitterly, "Because I can't go against my father's will, but I don't want to be with someone I don't love, so I can only choose to leave."
Hearing this, Chen Shuxian bit her lower lip tightly and said with a trembling voice: "Ze'er, my mother and concubine know that your father's previous decree was indeed a bit excessive, but he...but he can't afford the stroke now, so you can Stop resenting him."
Hearing this, Nangong Yueze's expression became a little complicated. Although he had already known the fact that Nangong Yongchang could not survive the stroke, when he heard Chen Shuxian say this with his own ears, he still felt like something in his chest. It's like a huge boulder blocking it.
After all, Nangong Yongchang's blood still flows in his mortal body.
"Mother and concubine, I don't resent my father, but his will is too ruthless for me..." Nangong Yueze took a deep breath and said in a calm tone.
Chen Shuxian was stunned for a moment, then let go of her hands holding Nangong Yueze's sleeves, then patted his shoulder lightly and said, "Ze'er, I understand how you feel. When I see you come back safely, I will I’m already satisfied.”
"Yes." After hearing her words, Nangong Yueze responded in a low voice. After a moment, he raised his eyes and said, "Mother and concubine, I have something to ask of you."
