The prince of Yanhui and the lord of Xuanyang did not stay long, and set off to return to the east court the next morning.

The night before the wedding, she finally walked out of the door and came to the flower hall in the east garden of Yuanshuang Pavilion.

Mu Cheng sat at a round table carved with his back to her, there was a tea set on the table, and the water on the small stove was boiling, steaming.

"Are you here? are your hands better?" he asked.

"It's much better, and I'm worried. Mei Ziyan sat down in front of him. He looked up at her, as if he was not accustomed to her politeness and strangeness, and said:

"You know everything?"

"Hmm. She replied lightly, "You let Xiao Jinqing go." Suzaku is caught between you and me, and we are in a dilemma. ”

"Good. He put the washed purple clay cup on the tea set, and poured out the tea with a covered bowl in his hand, "This is the best Biluochun, I remember that this is the first time to make this kind of tea for you to drink." ”

"How about you invite me to tea, and I'll tell you a story?" she looked at him calmly.

What is going to come will always come, he sighed, "Okay." ”

"I once met a drunkard and everybody said he was an alcoholic. I asked him why he drank so much and he said he wanted to forget, I asked him what he wanted to forget, he said he wanted to forget the things that made him ashamed, and I asked him what he was ashamed of, and he said he was ashamed of his drinking. She picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, which was fragrant and refreshing.

"What do you want to say?" he frowned.

"If I came to heaven was a mistake, if the past entanglement between us was a mistake, then we can't make up for it in the wrong way. ”

"So?" he looked at the cup of tea, his expression solemn, as if waiting for the verdict.

"I don't want to marry you. She lowered her eyes, "Can you let me go?"

He rubbed the purple sand bowl that had just been brewed with hot water, and after a while, the hot feeling passed from his white fingers into his heart, as if all his internal organs were churning, and his face still maintained his usual expression and demeanor. He was silent for a moment, then said:

"Mei Ziyan, I'll tell you a story too. ”

"Many of the gods who were in charge of wealth, power, beauty, love, and health, lost their powers and went to a small island in a foreign land, and the island was about to sink, and Fortune set up a raft and left, and Love begged Fortune to take her away, but Fortune refused, and after a few days, the other gods also rejected the request for love before leaving. She was very sad, when suddenly a voice came to her in a boat, and said, "Come, I'll take you away." Love got on the boat and went to a continent where flowers bloomed and the seasons were like spring, but he went away quietly. Do you know who took the love away?"

She thought for a moment and shook her head.

"It doesn't matter if you can't think of it. His eyes fell on her emaciated face, "I'll let you go." One day you understand this story, you will understand what I have in mind when I marry you. Ziyan, tonight, I will send you out of the heavenly capital. ”

Mei Ziyan's eyes were shocked, and she said, "Aren't you disobeying the holy decree?"

Mu Cheng's dark pupils looked directly into her eyes as if to look into her heart, and said, "Mei Ziyan, do you think that only you have such pride?" I just always thought that even if there was deception between us, there was always something else......

Mei Ziyan met his gaze, the undisguised loss and pain in his dark eyes came into his eyes, and his heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and the pain was a little breathless.

"I believe," she said, bowing her head, "that the matter of Jinlan Court was not your intention. ”

"I'm sorry. He looked at her and said suddenly, the sincerity in his eyes was undoubted, "It's more or less because of me." ”

The third time, he said sorry to her for the third time, but it wasn't those three words she wanted to hear the most.

She drank her tea silently, looking at his handsome face from time to time, her elegant and skillful tea-making skills, her eyes were quiet, and she lingered on him with undisguised affection. When such a man is gentle, he really makes people want to dig out their hearts and give them to him! However, no matter how hard he tries, he still feels that his heart is far away......

When the night wind hunted, the night wind hunted, the guard of the north gate of the Tiandu was very tight, Mei Ziyan and the dumb slave disguised as servants followed Mu Cheng out of the city, Mu Cheng put the reins in his hand into the hands of the dumb slave, looked at Mei Ziyan and said:

"Tianshan Xueji, now the things are returned to their original owners. "The dark eyes are like a little cold star in the night, as cool as water.

She nodded, and he added, "I once asked you a question and you didn't answer me. ”

"What is it?"

"That night, I knelt in front of the Chang'an Palace, and you made an exception to treat Chen Guifei for me, but you told me that I would never meet again if I had nothing to do with it in the future, why?"

Her lips moved, but she didn't speak.

He smiled, "Forget it, you don't want to say don't force it." Xueji travels thousands of miles a day, and tomorrow it will send you to where you want to go, and go...... Don't come back, no matter what news you hear, whether Mu Cheng is doing well or not, don't come back......"

His eyes were hot, and he forgot that she couldn't see the change in his eyes at night, and turned his back to her, and was about to take a step away.

"That's because I don't want someone else to have someone else in my heart. I don't have the courage to hit the wall again, so go and marry Shen Biyan," she smiled sadly, and said:

"If you marry her, I will probably be able to stop thinking about you......"

Mu Cheng was shocked and looked back at her in disbelief. Her white clothes looked so thin and delicate in the night breeze, and there was a sad smile on her face, and he suddenly understood the reason for her refusal. He watched her get on her horse, watched her sit down before the mute, and took the reins of her horse, and said to him:

"Persimmon, who am I in your eyes all along?"

She is Ziyan, Mei Ziyan, the doctor who sprinkled him with sulfur in Yuanjue Temple, forced him to drink the most bitter medicine in the palace, and was unwilling to leave him to escape alone in the Xishan Grass Pavilion, Mei Ziyan.

It's the woman who is free and casual by nature, her words are full of wit, and she likes to tease and rectify her, but she has kindness in her bones, Mei Ziyan......

She has never been the lord of Xuanyang, her existence has nothing to do with the pursuit of power.

Watching the two of them go away in the night, she seemed to hear the sound of something broken in her heart, it was the thick barrier he had been working hard to build, but she still broke in, and then escaped.

She was scarred, and his heart was full of broken ruins, and he could not form an army.

No wonder my heart hurts like that.

Since then, the mountains and rivers have been wide and there is no way out......

"Shizi!" Suzaku and Bai Xuan arrived with a few black-clothed guards, and said breathlessly:

"How can you get Yan'er to go? We're going to chase ...... now."

Mu Cheng slashed his backhand diagonally on her shoulder, and she suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.

"Baek Hyun, lock up Suzaku and release them in two days, and the Wuyi guards you brought with you, let them sleep for two days. He said in a deep voice:

"King Shou is not here, listen to Fenglou and I have the final say! Who dares to leak this matter, if I Mu Cheng does not die, his life will not be guaranteed. ”

"Shizi, but tomorrow if Long Yan is angry......"

"Baek Hyun, why do you say that a person lives so tired all his life? For hatred, for responsibility, for morality...... Even marriage is fraught with political calculations. But if I can't even protect a dirty affection, if I can't even give her the freedom she wants most, I'll feel that I'm not worthy to love her, you know?"

He turned around and left, and Baekhyun asked people to help Suzaku up, chased after him, scratched his head and said:

"Shizi, I've thought about it, but I still don't understand. Everyone is gone, what are you talking about whether you love or not, it's empty!"

"It's good if you don't understand. This shows that your heart is still very whole. ”

On the day of the wedding, the door of the Suide Wangfu was wide open, and the lanterns and sheng flutes were playing non-stop, everyone's faces were beaming, and Zhuang was sweating profusely. The big and small officials who came to congratulate him came one after another, and it was about to be auspicious, so Nan Xue brought the bride out with a bitter face. The bride was very tall, and she walked out in a hurry, and accidentally kicked the stool, and could not balance her body, so she fell gorgeously in front of the guests!

When she fell to the ground, the red hijab tilted, revealing the true face of the bride!

It turned out to be a man!

The guests in the hall were all in an uproar, this was simply an invincible gossip of thunderbolts, and the good bride turned into a man with his hands tied and a white cloth gagged in his mouth! Everyone immediately turned their eyes to the groom who was sitting on a rosewood chair and drinking tea leisurely, only to see him indifferently put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at the Ming Shu who fell to the ground with sympathy, and said:

"It's really hard for you, I want to be the bride of this world, and I will be on time when I am reincarnated in the next life!"

Bai Xuan, who was beside him, was about to confess his guilt, Mu Cheng pointed to the book, and he immediately felt the right to help him up and untie the restraints on his hands.

"As you can see, today, the bride of this son has fled. If you don't mind the gifts you sent, you can bring them back in their original form, so that everyone can run for nothing, and this meal will be regarded as Mu Cheng's gift wine to everyone, how about it?"

There was a person who was good at slapping horses and reacted very quickly, and immediately said: "Where the prince says, we are afraid that this little gift will not be able to enter the eyes of the prince, and the prince can just smile and accept it, but I am afraid that the emperor is not easy to say, after all, this is a decree to promulgate the world's marriage ......"

"This marriage, did the son of this world say that it doesn't count?" Mu Cheng glanced at the official coldly, the atmosphere on the spot condensed, and there was silence all around, and he slowly spoke:

"Mei Ziyan is my Mu Cheng's wife, and it is the same whether there is this wedding or not. It's just that it will take some time to get it back, but don't you even understand the little love between this couple?

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the gate of the mansion, and then two neat queues of Yu Linwei rushed in, the first person was Dongfang Hengqing's clan brother Dongfang Xiuwen, his eyes looked at Mu Cheng like a torch, and he waved lightly, and said:

"The prince Mu Cheng was disrespectful and was brought into the Xuanzheng Palace by the emperor's order. Shizi, offended. As soon as he raised his hand, Yu Linwei swarmed up, and Mu Cheng stretched out his hand and pulled off the big red robe on his body, and said calmly:

"I'll go with you. ”

A prisoner car was parked at the gate of the mansion, and Dongfang Xiuwen said with a sad face: "Shizi, this is what the emperor meant." ”

Mu Cheng took off the golden crown on his head and threw it on the ground, looked at Dongfang Xiuwen with a smile, and said, "This is more similar, right?"

Dongfang Xiuwen glanced at him worriedly, "The emperor also said that he would walk around the most lively street in Tiandu three times. ”

"It doesn't matter. He said lightly.

"Also, the emperor invited the Mu's temple to the blue dragon vine ......"

Bilong vine, according to legend, is the nemesis of the Mu family's children, and it is said that no one can steal life under the five whips.

The vine body is made of several layers of green snake skin, like a whip, but the whip is covered with small needle hooks, and the skin and flesh will be broken and the blood will flow endlessly, which has always been used by the clan to punish the children who have committed major crimes.

Mu Cheng smiled instead, "Dongfang Xiuwen, if I didn't die, I would invite you to drink, and by the way, congratulate you on becoming the next head of the Dongfang family." ”

In the Xinglin Hall in the capital of Xigan, several men panted and carried an unconscious obese woman inside, and one of them shouted:

"Doctor, doctor! Someone has fallen overboard!"

"It's noisy," said the curtain, who was lifted by a white hand, and the sallow and sickly female doctor came out, frowning and dissatisfied, and asked:

"What's the matter, dead man?"

"No, it's pretty much it. The dark-faced man pointed at the woman and said, "There is still one breath left." ”

Mei Ziyan looked at the wet fat woman, and shouted to the inner hall: "Dumb slave-"

The handsome and indifferent Xirong boy walked out, gestured and said, "What's wrong?"

She pointed to the woman and said, "Take scissors and cut her collar, put a piece of wood around her neck, and slap her on the left breast, with a force of 30 percent." ”

In the astonished gaze of those people, the dumb slave did not say a word and completed the series of movements she commanded in one go, and after the last palm was struck, the woman's throat rang, and she said, "One more palm." ”

With a palm, the woman spat out a mouthful of water, slowly woke up, looked at the dumb slave and was stunned, and said:

"No, I'm obviously holding Yuyinzi......"

Today, on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Mei Ziyan shook her head helplessly, and heard the woman's eyes gradually converge, and muttered: "However, this is also very handsome...... Tell me what's your name, little handsome?"

Mei Ziyan pulled away the dumb slave in front of him, cleared her throat and said to her angrily: "The handsome guy is not for nothing, okay, please come back to the ...... if it's okay."

"I'm not feeling well!" the fat woman raised her hand and said urgently, "I...... I'm sick ......"

"You can see it, obesity. What, do you want to lose weight?" Mei Ziyan's eyes are poisonous, and her mouth is even more poisonous.
