Three days later, in the apse of the Tianji Palace, Mu Yao asked her, "How long are you going to hide here?"

Mei Ziyan said helplessly: "Brother Yao, I don't want to, but I offended your mother that day and night, I'm afraid that she is now looking for a good opportunity to rectify me......;

"You are very bold, I think you are very bold!" Mu Yao sat down on the chair in front of the chessboard with a straight face, "Dongfang Qingming, the sister that Dongfang Hengxin recognized, died violently today, dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"

"I've been telling stories to your emperors in the palace for the past two days, and I'm lacking in skills, Brother Yao don't wronged good people. ”

"Then Dongfang Hengqing let people pour mercury poison into the throat of Dongming, who is desperate, and you won't care about it?"

Mei Ziyan's face changed slightly, her eyes widened, and she said, "So ruthless?" and then smiled and said, "But he also poured it in vain, what is he doing with the waste of mercury?"

Mu Yao looked at the Zhenlong chess game in front of him, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "If the people of the Dongfang family are so easy to mess with, I won't wait until today." Mu Yu went to Dongfang's house, and was driven out without even seeing the corpse, and he was slapped twice, and his injuries were said to be quite serious. Why don't you go check it out?"

"Dongming is dead, what are the four sons still alive for? Maybe they will be buried together, and they can also be willing to be Lian Lizhi on the ground!"

"You're cold. But how can Hengqing really take a fancy to you, a heartless girl! I mentioned this matter to him again this morning, you will really cause trouble!" Mu Yao frowned, this chess game is very difficult to break.

Mei Ziyan said with a smile: "It's a shame that I vomited the queen mother's body that night and escaped, Brother Yao magnanimously let me hide in the Tianji Hall for three days, and the slaves who don't have long eyes dare to bring up the old things again, isn't it?"

Mu Yao glanced at her, "You also know that I have blessed you for three days? If it weren't for Hengqing, maybe the Empress Dowager's decree to make you a concubine would have been issued, and it would be up to you to see how you would be alone at that time! If it weren't for the fact that you drank a cup of fragrant tea with spices, I would have thrown you out of the Tianji Hall a long time ago." ”

"Brother Yao, do you also know that your concubine wants to harm me?" she muttered dissatisfiedly, looking at him sympathetically, "None of the women around you are simple. "From my mother to my wife, no one is worry-free.

Mu Yao suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and stroked her head, "Do you feel sorry for me?"

She didn't look flattered, just sighed for a long time and then smiled and said, "It's late." Brother Haruka, I have someone I like. ”

In the corner pavilion in front of the Bishui Palace, Mu Cheng was dressed in a brocade bamboo pattern dark flower green shirt, wearing a white jade crown, and standing on the side of the carved fence with a solemn face. Shen Biyan saw his back from a distance, and there was inevitably an inexplicable emotion stirring in his heart. She instructed the palace maid to stay in the distance, and she quickened her pace and walked towards the corner pavilion, and whispered to him with joy and excitement:

"Yunzhi, you are still willing to come to see me......"

Mu Cheng turned around and bowed to her, and said without humility or arrogance: "Mu Cheng has seen Concubine Bi. I don't know what happened when the mother summoned me to make an appointment?"

Shen Biyan was stunned as if she was being showered with cold water, her face could not hide her disappointment, and said, "Yunzhi, do you have to have something to see you?"

"The minister and the mother have nothing to talk about, if there is no major matter to discuss, the minister will retire. He replied categorically.

"What happened to make your attitude towards me change so much?" she looked aggrieved, her eyes were red, and she stepped forward to take his hand, "Yunzhi, did Mei Ziyan tell you something?"

Mu Cheng pulled out his hand without a trace, "Niangniang, please respect yourself." In terms of seniority, Niangniang is the minister's cousin-in-law, which cannot be surpassed. ”

Shen Biyan's face changed suddenly, and she said in a trembling voice: "What is it for? The last time I saw you in the Imperial Garden, you said that you still remember the promise you made to me, but after only a few days, you have forgotten your feelings so much...... Is it because Mei Ziyan is right? That's just an ignorant woman who likes to play tricks, are you fascinated by her?"

Mu Cheng looked at her calmly and said, "Bi Yan, you have grown up and no longer need the protection of others. It's that I've been ignoring it, thinking that no matter how many years have passed, no matter what has happened, you are still the weak woman who will be scared by me and cry, will pester me to teach the piano, and wait for me in the deep boudoir loft all day long. My mother died early, I don't know what love is, and no one taught me how to be good to a woman, but I never thought about getting anything from Shen Biyan. I'm serious about you, from start to finish. ”

Shen Biyan's hands began to tremble, Mu Cheng's words were like throwing a boulder in her heart, setting off a thousand huge waves, she even trembled with her lips, the calmer Mu Cheng's face was, the more she understood what she had lost.

He said, it's over, is it over?

"Yunzhi ......" Before she could say anything, tears were already dripping from the corners of her eyes.

"I suffer from heart disease, and I am afraid that you will follow my mother's old path and die alone and depressed...... It's my fault that you hate me for not being honest enough, and I forgive you for not trusting me. You refused to be with me, and I don't hate you. Later, I figured out that it takes two people to be together, and if you are separated, it is enough for one person to let go. I really don't blame you, I let go of your hand early......"

Shen Biyan couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, crying and saying, "Yunzhi, please, please don't say any more." ”

Mu Cheng sighed and gently pushed her away, "The person who bears you is me, and it has nothing to do with others." In the future, you have to take good care of yourself, the emperor is a generation of kings who have planned far and far, and the little tricks of the harem are just a trick of a group of self-righteous clowns in his eyes. Although the deep palace is silent, but you already have the ability to be alone, why do you need my protection? I have said all I have said today, and in the future, you will do it yourself. ”

Shen Biyan asked him with tears in her eyes: "That night you fought against the emperor for me and begged him to forgive me, isn't this a love for me?"

"I've always felt guilty about you. However, just guilt. ”

Her face turned pale in an instant, and she sneered self-deprecatingly: "Yunzhi, you still don't admit that you have changed your mind? I feel guilty just because I like the so-called Mei Ziyan!"

Seeing the resentment flashing in her eyes, Mu Cheng frowned and said, "Bi Yan, there is no need to do that kind of small action at the banquet of Dianzhang. If there is a next time, the hand cut by the maid next to you will be cut off by myself!"

Shen Biyan was stunned, and Mu Cheng said: "If after today, you still want to go further and further on the road of fighting for power and profit, then you have to remember that this is your choice." I, Mu Cheng, have never known today's Shen Biyan. ”

He has never said anything serious to her, he has cared for her since he was a child, and now he has said cruel words to her for another woman, Mu Cheng, hello, you are very good......

He bowed to her again, Shen Biyan's eyes were red, staring at his figure as if he was about to stare at a hole, and suddenly said hysterically and loudly:

"Mu Cheng, do you say it's over? I, Shen Biyan, will never let you have a good time with her! I swear! I swear...... I swear."

- I'm already very sad, she is the retribution I owe in my last life.

It seems that you can't hide from it.

If she no longer treats her feelings as a game that day, maybe, maybe I can also become the Mu Cheng who was able to treat people many years ago.

Mu Cheng looked up at the clear sky, stepped on the thick snow under his feet, and suddenly remembered her thin clothes, and remembered her cheeks that were a little red from the cold. As he passed through the Imperial Garden, he walked under the plum tree and remembered that night...... Purely for punishment and warning? He stroked his chest, I am afraid that it is more for the inexplicable emotions that cannot be suppressed in his heart.

"Shizi, Shizi," the little eunuch Hu Lai panted and ran over to him and said, "I finally saw you, this cloak, but yours?"

He silently took the cloak, remembering the scene of tying her hat belt in Huzhou, she looked up at him, her eyes were full of eyes, and her smile was innocent...... Hu Lai breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It's the third day, and it's good that you're here, otherwise-"

"Or what?"

"Miss Mei told the slave that if you see the prince enter the imperial garden to enjoy the plum blossoms within three days, she can return the cloak to you, otherwise, let the servant take the cloak and burn it after three days. Fortunately, it's a pity that such a good cloak burned......"

Mu Cheng was faintly stuffy in his chest, she was so sure that she would come back here to "see the trees and think about people"? He almost didn't think about it and strode towards the direction of the Jinglan Palace, and the little eunuch Hu Lai hurriedly said to him:

"Shizi, Miss Mei is not in the Jinglan Palace, she is in the Emperor's Bedroom Tianji Palace. ”

Mu Cheng paused, "Who said that this prince is going to the Jinglan Palace?" he looked at Hu Lai angrily, "Where is she and what does she have to do with me?

"Yes, the son of the world is angry. Poor on a cold day, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

When he was about to reach the palace gate, Mu Cheng suddenly asked: "Hu Lai, she is just a little doctor, and you have been waiting for her in the imperial garden for three days?"

"Shizi, don't you know that Miss Mei has been in the emperor's bedroom for three days?...... is that the person who wants to become the master" Hu Lai was suddenly silent, and was met with Mu Cheng's cold gaze that could kill people, he grabbed Hu Lai's shirt and asked in disbelief:

"You mean, she stayed in the Heavenly Pole Hall for three days?!"

Hu Lai was so frightened that he pushed him away, Hu Lai fell to the ground unsteadily, and watched in amazement as Mu Cheng strode around and walked towards the Tianji Palace.
