"Dear me, I haven't seen you for a while, why are you so cool..."

Chen Mo withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and said, "Second Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the tears that were about to fall from the corners of Ning Yuelu's eyes, Chen Mo felt that something big must have happened.

But Ning Yuelu did not answer immediately, and stared at Chen Mo with a pair of clear eyes. This man who made her think about her day and night would actually appear on the treasure ship transporting the beautiful girl.

One is a royal guard and the other is a beautiful woman who may be the emperor's concubine in the future.

When the two met, they had such identities.

"Second Miss, what happened?" Ning Yuelu's silence made him feel a little uneasy.

"You really don't know?" She spoke like beads, her voice was soft and crisp, with a hint of resentment.

"I've been away from Yongcheng for almost a year, how could I know..."

With this sentence flashing through his mind, Chen Mo said: "What do you know?"

Looking at Chen Mo's confused expression, her beautiful eyebrows frowned lightly: "You really only have sister in your heart, that's all, it's too late."

Chen Mo is not stupid, so he heard something strange from Ning Yuelu's words.

Does this girl like me?

To be honest, Chen Mo really didn't have that kind of interest in her. When he first met her, she was not even thirteen years old.

For Chen Mo, who had a past life experience, he just regarded her as a little girl.

Although now she has become a great beauty.

Seeing that Chen Mo was silent, Ning Yuelu sighed and said: "Not long after you left, my father was demoted because he was on the wrong team. You also know that my father attaches great importance to power and status, and the imperial court is everywhere.

When the show girls were selected, he signed me up and bribed the selection officials. Not only was I selected, but I was also painted with a portrait by an artist and sent to the capital..."

This is true. When the affair between him and the eldest lady was exposed, after her father found out that his eldest daughter had a private meeting with a servant, he ordered that he must be caught, life or death.

Of course, this matter was indeed his fault, but if he had a fourth- or fifth-grade father at that time, it would definitely have been a different outcome.

Her father took the initiative to take this line to the Li family in Beijing.

Now listening to Ning Yuelu's words, now her father hopes that Ning Yuelu can successfully become the emperor's concubine. In this case, relying on his father's status as father-in-law, it is not easy for him to rise to prominence, let alone be reinstated.<

/p>

"What about...the eldest lady?" Sensing that Ning Yuelu might like him, Chen Mo hesitated slightly when he asked Ning Yuelan.

Ning Yuelu looked at Chen Mo carefully for a few more times, pursed her lips, and said: "Because of the selection of beautiful girls, my sister's matter has been known to the Li family. Logically speaking, the Li family will definitely cancel the engagement, but

After learning that I was selected as the show girl, I didn’t say anything. But in my opinion, the Li family will definitely not let you go..."

This kind of insult to the family tradition is absolutely intolerable to the Li family, because the Li family will not attack the Ning family because of Ning Yuelu becoming a beautiful girl, and their anger will definitely be vented on Chen Mo.
p>

Chen Mo's face darkened slightly, but he had long thought that such a day would come.

Moreover, he is now the bannerman of the Imperial Guard and has the token of King Xin, so he doesn’t need to be afraid of the Li family.

"Don't worry about this, I have a way to deal with the Li family." Chen Mo said.

Looking at Chen Mo's clothes, Ning Yuelu nodded. She came to the chair and sat down. Under the candlelight, her face was as crystal clear as jade, but there was a slight sadness on her delicate face: "Sit down.

, by the way, tell me how you became a Jinyiwei."

Chen Mo didn't sit down, but stood and talked briefly. Of course, he definitely didn't say anything about Jiang Qi, Lin Xuer and others.

Suddenly, he glanced at the cactus in front of the window table and was slightly startled. If he remembered correctly, he gave it to Ning Yuelu in order to create an opportunity to get along with the eldest lady, asking her to do a small favor.<

/p>

Unexpectedly, she still keeps this cactus...

"I didn't expect that you would go through so much in less than a year." A trace of distress appeared in Ning Yuelu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

The two chatted for a few words.

Chen Mo knew he couldn't stay too long, so he asked about the water demon and wanted to know what Ning Yuelu didn't hear when Xiu Nu disappeared.

Ning Yuelu shook her head and said that she was frightened at the time. In addition, the treasure ship was shaking violently, and the voices of officers and soldiers outside were shouting for death, so she did not notice the different situation.

Chen Mo nodded and immediately planned to leave.

He didn't say anything stupid like taking Ning Yuelu away.

The moment Ning Yuelu was selected as the show girl, her fate was tied to her family.

What's more, her portrait was sent to the palace, and maybe the emperor has seen it.

If he dares to take Ning Yuelu away at this time, he will not only harm himself, but also bring harm to the entire Ning family.

And judging from the conversation just now, Ning Yuelu has also accepted her fate.

The only way to escape this fate is to lose the election and not be named.

However, judging from Chen Mo's aesthetics, as long as the opponent is not face-blind, Ning Yuelu will not lose the election.

Seeing that Chen Mo was about to leave, Ning Yuelu finally couldn't hold back and rushed forward to hug Chen Mo. Even though her fate was no longer in her hands, she still wanted to express her feelings.

In this way, even if she refuses, she will not regret it.

However, when she really wanted to speak, she hesitated.

Looking at the girl's arms holding him, Chen Mo confirmed his suspicion.

But now, both sides can't help themselves.

When Chen Mo's palm touched the girl's arm, he felt the arm being moved away bit by bit.

Ning Yuelu finally stopped hesitating, her eyes were moist, and she said with tears: "Don't you have any love for me except for my sister? What you said before that you would always stay by my side and protect me was a lie.

Mine?

But if you lied to me, why did you risk your life to save me in the first place? Why..."

Ning Yuelu cried hysterically. She didn't dare to make too much noise, so she buried her face on Chen Mo's back and her voice was a little suppressed.

"..."

Ning Yuelu's words also caused Chen Mo to have a wave of memories. He sacrificed his life to save Ning Yuelu. His bloody nature was aroused at that time, and he couldn't bear to see a little girl die in front of him, so he did it out of instinct.

.

As for the words about always protecting her, they were words of comfort because I saw her frightened at that time.

At that time, he would not have imagined how damaging his actions and words would be to Ning Yuelu.

As for Chen Mo's subsequent moves to get close to Ning Yuelan in order to seduce her, Ning Yuelu took it as Chen Mo's favor.

Just when Chen Mo didn't know how to answer.
