Although the stove was burning on the carriage, the fiery carbon was like red eyes, and in the underlit carriage, a woman fell asleep a few times and almost knocked into the crossbar in the corner. The dumb slave couldn't do it, so she had to reach out and stop her shoulder and let her sleep next to herself, Mu Cheng drank tea, watched coldly, and threw out a sentence from time to time to stimulate her nerves:

"Mei Ziyan, how does it feel to take advantage of an old man?"

Mei Ziyan also said with a smile: "Yes, there is no imaginary trick, it should be much better than taking advantage of someone." She turned her wrist and remembered that Shi Cai was grabbed by this hateful persimmon and pulled her arm so hard that the pain was almost broken, and she didn't react so much that she overwhelmed him twice.

Mu Chengyang threw a porcelain jar to the dumb slave, and said indifferently: "Paint your aunt's hands, lest people go around and falsely accuse me of abusing animals when I return to the sky." ”

Mei Ziyan was completely sleepy, and she gritted her teeth in anger. The dumb slave pulled open her sleeves and frowned slightly, and asked her:

"How did you get it like this?" said her, applying the brown ointment to the circles of bruises, rubbing them a little harder, and she bit her lip and said to the dumb slave:

"Light, it hurts. "His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of water, pitiful. The dumb slave's heart softened, and his subordinates lightened their strength and said:

"Isn't that better?"

Mei Ziyan gave him a reassuring smile, and said with a little grievance: "Dumb slave, my aunt's hands are so painful that she can't hold the dishes and chopsticks, what should I do?"

What should I do? The dumb slave was stunned, then understood something again, and smiled.

She's being coquettish, and she wants to hear him say, "Hey, okay?"

Then she would put on a straight face and say to him, "Of course, but you treat your aunt like a pig?"

"It's too simple, you can feed you if you can't eat, and if you can't take a bath, you can ask him to wash you. Doctor Mei is really generous for convenience!" Mu Cheng sent two sentences coldly, causing Xiao Meizi to throw the pillow in her hand angrily, and the fire in her eyes burned more vigorously than a carbon stove.

"I haven't settled the account with you that deliberately locked me up in the county jail!" she didn't care about the pain in her hand, and glared at him: "This is a white-eyed wolf!

"It seems that this son of the world didn't ask you to save me. He leaned back on the cushion, closed his eyes and took a nap, his thin lips spitting out unsympathetic words.

"You-" Her eyes turned red, this time she was really wronged.

Since growing up, the hardships and dangers she has endured seem to have never stopped since she began treating him, and now he actually said coldly "I didn't ask" to end her hardships.

The carriage seemed to be shrouded in an invisible low pressure, Mu Cheng didn't speak, Mei Ziyan didn't speak, the faces of the two were colder than the other, and the dumb slave pulled Mei Ziyan's sleeve and said in sign language:

"Don't be angry. His gaze was firm, stubborn, and indescribably tender.

Mei Ziyan smiled reluctantly and gestured to him: "Okay, I'm not angry." Yu Guang looked at the ungrateful wolf, his eyes darkened, how could he say that he was not angry if he was not angry?

"You've been away for so many days, and the little fox is hungry and thin. He said, "Also, the plum blossoms you said you wanted to plant in the Flower Moon Cottage don't have the variety of astragalus, I only planted white plums." ”

"It's okay with Baimei, it's just a little lonely. As if remembering something, her eyebrows furrowed, "It would be nice if I could plant a few more plum trees...... You're coming to Huzhou, so who's taking care of the little fox?"

Listening to her babbling, the dumb slave's heart breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want her to be angry, especially, not to be angry with that person, not to care about that person.

In her heart, it's good to have herself.

He looked coldly at the Mu Shizi who seemed to have fallen asleep, although he had never been involved in affairs, but he was a man, so he could naturally understand what was in a man's eyes when he looked at a woman. What he doesn't like even more is that he is sneering, she is-for-tat, you come and go, there is actually a world that no one else can enter.

Tiandu Imperial Palace Tianji Hall

"You gave the order to hunt and kill the Furong Tent and the Moon Pavilion?" Xuancheng Emperor Mu Yao, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, put down the red pen in his hand, looked at Mu Cheng who was standing with his hands hanging down at the bottom of the stairs, Mu Cheng replied respectfully:

"Back to the emperor, Su Wen of the Moon Pavilion is the remnant of the Xirong Flame Sect, the lord of Xirong is now sparing no effort to exterminate the Flame Sect, if he knows that the Fire Cultists have taken root in the heavenly capital, they will inevitably send more forces to infiltrate Yiluo, in order not to affect the friendship between the two countries, the minister immediately issued a hunt and kill order after besieging and killing their dead soldiers in Huzhou. ”

"I heard that the Lord of Yuanwu is not dead?"

Mu Cheng frowned, and said: "The minister also received such news, but after checking and verifying, Huzhou and his party found that it was just a small means of the Agni Sect to call on the disciples to confront Heliansen, and the real Yuanwu Lord was killed by ten thousand arrows piercing the heart and falling off the cliff two years ago, and there were no bones left. ”

"You've done a good job. Emperor Xuancheng got up and walked in front of him, looked at his clear and handsome face, and said:

"Yunzhi, are you cured?"

"Emperor Xie cares, it's no big deal. ”

"Two months later," Emperor Xuancheng handed him a copy of the fold in his hand, "Prince Yanhui of the Eastern Court will bring the lord of Xuanyang to visit Yiluo, and you will be the ceremonial officer in charge of the reception. At the same time, you can also see what kind of person your future princess is, I have already instructed Qin Tianjian to choose a good day for you, and after you marry a concubine, you will officially inherit the title of Prince Suide. ”

Mu Cheng walked out of the Tianji Palace, and Bai Xuan, who was waiting outside the hall, immediately followed, and when he saw Mu Cheng's depressed face, he couldn't help asking:

"The lord concealed the identity of the dumb slave, and he didn't worry that the emperor would be furious when he found out in the future?"

"Do you really think the emperor doesn't know? He's just reminding me to do this to the bottom of my mouth so as not to fall into the truth, the Golden Cicada Gu is raised with the blood of the emperor to adulthood. Baek Hyun, it's good that this incident didn't happen. "You can't kill Helian Yue, and you can't detain him openly, so I have to adopt the method of free-range.

Bai Xuan was secretly frightened when he heard this, since ancient times, the emperor's mental skills have been unpredictable, and he really doesn't have such a high level to serve such a master.

"You listen back to Fenglou and ask Qing Zhao to come to the palace, and ......" Before Mu Cheng's words were finished, he met Shen Biyan on the path leading to the Imperial Garden.

Shen Biyan is dressed in a palace costume and is extraordinary, her hair is combed into a fairy bun, the golden hairpin is shaking the pearl and jade, the earrings are decorated with bright moon bells, the necklace is worn with Zhu Yingliu glaze, and the purple Luo shirt skirt on her body is made of Tianwen brocade, covered with a thin water silk veil like smoke, she is still delicate, her figure is thin, and she walks towards her with a more graceful and moving demeanor.

The two palace ladies in front of her bowed to Mu Cheng, and Mu Cheng didn't see any emotional fluctuations on his face, so he only bowed slightly and said:

"I've seen Concubine Bi. ”

Shen Biyan just looked at him, without saying a word, the mist in her eyes spread, she waved her hand, and the two palace maids retreated to the gate of the imperial garden to wait, and Bai Xuan also retreated knowingly.

"You ......" She stopped talking, Mu Cheng straightened up and looked at her, and said:

"What do you have to say, if not, your subordinates will retire first. ”

"Is this all we have to do?" she burst into tears, "No one told me about your illness, you hid it from me, let it, let it, I regret it, what should I do?"

"Your Majesty, is he good to you?" his expression was very cold, unmoved.

"Well, so what? he can't be mine alone, and besides, this harem is cold...... Everywhere is full of tricks and traps, I ......"

"Bi Li," he sighed, "you have made your choice that day. He turned to leave, but she grabbed him by the sleeve, and tears fell like rain, and said in a loud voice:

"I admit it's my fault, I misunderstood you, I thought you had changed your mind, and I didn't think anything about it at that time, I just wanted to make you as sad as I was. I can't even fight Mei Ziyan, with my scheming, do you think I can survive in this harem? If she hadn't set a trap for me to jump into, how could I, how could I abandon you so ruthlessly!" she stared at him, her eyes full of misery.

Mu Cheng frowned, "What does this have to do with Mei Ziyan?"

Shen Biyan choked up and said what happened in the Imperial Garden that day, and Mu Cheng's face changed unpredictably as he listened.

"Yunzhi, I just ask you, is the promise you made to me still today?" she finally asked him.

Seeing that his face was as calm as water and silent, she grabbed his hand, "The emperor's birthday in January, I'll wait for your answer." ”

As soon as he left the palace gate, Mu Cheng immediately asked Bai Xuan: "Where is Mei Ziyan now?"

Bai Xuan saw that his face was ugly, thinking that he was unwell, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly ordered his subordinates to say a few words, and when the carriage did not arrive at the Suide Palace, he replied, saying that Mu Sigongzi and Mei Dafu were in the plum garden in the western suburbs of Tiandu at the moment.

Mu Cheng was stunned, the plum garden in the western suburbs is the property left by Mu Yu's grandfather, Mu Yu cherishes this garden very much on weekdays, and rarely takes people there, even he has only been there twice.

"Why did the fourth prince bring me here?" Mei Ziyan wrapped her cloak tightly, the sunlight shone through the thin clouds, and the mottled snow on the lonely peak of Yuanxiu was also stained with light gold. Near up is a large plum forest, the trees are clear, and there seems to be a glow in the middle of it, reflecting the charm.

"I heard that your grass hut lacks a few plum trees?" Mu Yu walked with her to the corner pavilion in front of the plum forest and sat down, where there was a small stove for warm wine and two plates of delicate snacks on the stone table in the pavilion.

Mei Ziyan smiled: "The fourth prince is willing to cut his love?"

"What's so difficult about this? Doctor Mei gave Mu Yu a generous gift and cured my third brother, what is the point of just a few Mo Mei?" Mu Yu took the wine bottle from the stove and poured two glasses of wine, one in front of her, "I dismissed the concubine in the house, and planned to find a suitable day to marry Dongming." ”

Mei Ziyan was a little surprised: "Marrying Dongming? so soon? Did she agree?"

"A woman's name is important, and, crucially, I don't want to wait any longer. Mu Yu smiled lightly and muttered, "It's been too long, it's a kind of torture." ”

"The fourth prince needs Mei Ziyan's help?" she smiled and picked up her glass, "I don't think Dongming will agree." ”

Mu Yu looked at her in surprise, "Mei Ziyan, has anyone ever said that you are really smart?"
