Chapter 122: A Tortuous Road
After this incident, Bai Ye frowned sadly as soon as he returned to the palace, looking at the empty palace, and the familiar voice before disappeared but fell silent.
"Mu Ling is the king's wide clothes!" Bai Ye took off a piece of clothing and unconsciously called out Mu Ling's name, but at first glance, there was no one behind him, and the air was surprisingly quiet for a while, as if time was frozen.
Bai Ye closed his eyes slightly, his lips trembled slightly, and the condensed person between his eyebrows was worried, and the next second he opened his eyes and paced out heavy steps.
A few days have passed, Bai Ye pondered in the palace, he will not wait to see others, as for the extermination of the Tiger Clan overnight, he has already sent someone to investigate secretly, and the result should be obtained in less than 10 days.
When the Empress Dowager learned that Bai Ye was preoccupied and did not leave Bai Ya Palace for half a step, she felt that something was wrong, and then she heard that Mu Ling was sent back to Suiyuyuan.
As soon as it was coherent, the Queen Mother had already discovered the clues, so she drove to the White Silk Palace.
In the past few days, Mu Ling has been here several times, but each time she has been stopped from the door and cannot enter.
In the last few days, Mu Ling found that the little mute didn't seem to want to see him at all, and she didn't know what was wrong, because one day she personally saw a minister enter the White Silk Palace, and she thought that the little mute must be inside, so Mu Ling also wanted to follow in, but was forcibly stopped by two guards.
At this time, she seemed to realize that something was wrong with the situation, and in the second half of the day, Xueying also walked in openly, but when it was her turn to be Mu Ling, she was still stopped at the door.
"Why? Obviously, Lord Xueying can go in, doesn't it mean that the king is not free, why can't he come to me?"
Just when Mu Ling was puzzled, the two guards came directly, "To put it bluntly, the king doesn't want to see you!"
At this time, Mu Ling was very depressed, and she didn't know what had happened before, didn't she fall into the medicine pool... Was it because she fell into the medicine pool and soiled the little mute's bath?
In the end, Mu Ling left disappointed, and before leaving, she glanced at the White Silk Palace, the three words hanging high on the plaque, she used to be able to enter freely.
Disappointed, she returned to Suiyuyuan, as if the entire sky was covered with a thin layer of smoke, suffocating her.
The dashing raindrops gradually slipped into the sky, then fell to the ground, blended into the soil, and turned into nothingness, the soil with a delicious smell of grass, suddenly made Mu Ling fresh, helpless, Mu Ling slowly stretched out her hand, the raindrops fell on her fingertips, into her skin.
The fingertips condense sorrow, gathering bit by bit.
The appearance of a small snake slowly appeared in the small bushes in the shade of Suiyuyuan, and the small head spit out snake letters, and gradually moved slowly in the jungle, making a sneering sound.
The little snake moved slowly, and then quietly slipped to Mu Ling's feet, Mu Ling didn't pay attention for a while, and then heard the sound of the clanging.
At this time, she looked down and found that this little snake was very familiar, and then saw that this was not the little snake she had saved from Lord Xueying before?
Mu Ling gently picked up the little snake, put it in her hand, and saw the round little head, insisting that this little snake was very cute.
"Why did you end up here?"
The little snake kept spitting snake letters, and looked at Mu Ling blankly.
"Hey, I remember that when I saw you before, you weren't so long, but now it seems that you have thought longer, it seems that you still eat and drink well in this palace, and you won't have to worry about it. ”
Mu Ling placed the little snake on the table, and then handed it some fruit, "Do you want to eat the fruit?" ”
The little snake just leaned in and sniffed it, and then showed a look of disdain.
Seeing the little snake's refusal, Mu Ling felt that the little snake was a picky eater, so she gently flicked its little head with her fingers.
"You little snake is still a picky eater! You see this fruit is so fresh, it's a pity that you don't eat it, I can't eat it alone. Mu Ling played with the fruit in her hand, very leisurely, but the sorrow between her eyebrows could not hide her current mood.
The little snake was also very appreciative, moved his body slightly, bit down on the fruit, and then swallowed it gradually, although the swallowing process was very difficult, but he still ate it in front of Mu Ling.
Mu Ling looked at the little snake and was stunned, thinking that this little snake was not picky, at this time Mu Ling suddenly had a picture in his mind, that was the first time to give the little mute fruit, the little mute at that time was very arrogant, not only did not eat the fruit, but also knocked over the fruit she had worked so hard to pick to the ground.
Mu Ling watched the little snake eat a little bit of the fruit, so he picked a few more grapes, peeled them directly, and handed them to the little snake's mouth, "This grape is a fine crystal grape, and it has no seeds." ”
The little snake paused for a second, then slowly opened its mouth, and Gollum swallowed it in one fell swoop.
Mu Ling propped up half of her face, and her expression wandered on the little snake's body, "It's delicious, I didn't lie to you." ”
The little snake shook its head, and then spit out the snake letter as if to say something...
Mu Ling simply cleaned up and muttered to herself to the little snake, looked out the window, and looked at the white clouds floating in the air one after another.
He sighed slightly, and said heavily, "Why did you say that the little mute didn't see me? Or did I make him angry again, did he already know that I lied to him that day? To be honest, I couldn't have been with the little mute at all, because he was human!"
"Actually, I should have left here, and I don't know if my father would be anxious for me? ”
"My only wish now is to find out the murderer who hurt Satsuki as soon as possible!"
At this time, the little snake suddenly froze in place, and its snake hyacinth stopped in mid-air, its expression frozen.
Then Mu Ling continued, "When the time comes to find out the truth, I think I should leave quickly... When the time comes... I don't know if I'll be able to see such a cute little snake as you when we meet next time. Mu Ling gently stroked the little snake's little head, and the little snake was very comfortable to touch, so he rubbed it in Mu Ling's hand, leaving its breath.
In the White Silk Palace, the Queen Mother came in person.
Bai Ye hurriedly got up and hugged him, Queen Mother, what's coming?"
"I'll come to see you when I come home, I'm afraid that something will happen to you, I recently heard Xueying say that you don't go out of the White Silk Palace for half a step all day, this is not in line with your character, quickly follow the mourning family and tell me what happened?"
Bai Ye pondered for a while, looking like he didn't want to come.
"You don't need to say that the mourning family also knows, is it because of that Mu Ling, the mourning family has fulfilled the two of you, and also gave her a jade pendant to talk about your heart, why, are you still depressed?"
Bai Ye was silent, but the Queen Mother still didn't give up, and continued to ask, "Could it be that this Mu Ling made you angry?" This little girl is eccentric, and she understands a lot of things, and she still can't change her habit of not knowing etiquette." ”
"The Queen Mother... It's not..."
"What's going on with that?" her child, why doesn't she understand? In the past, she only knew that she was holding it in her heart, and she was unwilling to tell others, which was the reason why the Queen Mother was distressed, and she took all the responsibilities on her shoulders from childhood to adulthood, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of the prince from the moment she was born.
He lives a different life from other children, he practices spells hard every day, just to one day protect the snake tribe and the people of the snake tribe.
"The Queen Mother... Don't ask... Leave me alone..."
"You've been quiet for a long time, and next time you go like this, I'm afraid you'll be sick if you're not sick!"
Bai Ye sighed helplessly, staring at his feet without turning his eyes, as if thinking about something, the big stone in his heart still couldn't fall.
At this time, the Queen Mother was categorical, thinking that this must be something wrong with Mu Ling's side, Ye Er's temperament in the past, he used to protect Mu Ling everywhere, and he also learned to openly resist his mother.
Then, outside the White Silk Palace, there was a commotion, and Mu Ling's clear voice responded outside the White Silk Palace.
"Little mute, I know you're here! I just want to know why? I don't ask for anything else, but you want to see me! Because I'm being treated like this by you so inexplicably..."
The Queen Mother looked outside the White Silk Palace, and only heard Mu Ling's voice complaining, the clear voice implied endless sadness, and a sad voice, which made people sad for a while.
"Aren't you going to meet her?"
Bai Ye shook his head.
How could the Queen Mother not understand? Seeing that Ye'er was so abnormal, it was obviously not consistent with her previous at all, and now she personally stopped Mu Ling, which was really a little puzzled.
"In that case, are you dead set on this Mu Ling? The mourning family is becoming more and more ignorant of watching the child who grows up, you used to die against her mourning family, and now..."
"To tell the truth, the mourning family likes this girl a lot, but she is a human being, and the mourning family is powerless, the queen mother doesn't want to see you suffer from the catastrophe, so the queen mother was also for your own good, and now, since you have been relieved, then let this human be released! ”
Bai Ye looked at the queen mother with a wry smile, "Alas..."
"I'm afraid you don't know, Queen Mother..."
"What's wrong?"
Bai Ye said in a dull voice, "Mu Ling, it's not a human!"
"What?" the Queen Mother's face was full of astonishment, and her expression became uncalm, "Then she..."
"She's an immortal!"
"How is it possible! it can't be!" "His face froze, and his eyes widened.
Bai Ye didn't want to believe it, he didn't believe that Mu Ling was an immortal... I didn't believe it even more, Mu Ling deceived him, and she was lying to him from beginning to end.
"Mother, you heard me right. ”
"Isn't it that she is a spy sent by the Divine Realm, if so, she must not be allowed to stay in the Snake Palace. ”
Seeing that the queen mother was so angry, Bai Ye hurriedly stopped her, for fear that she would do something to hurt Mu Ling.
"It's not because she's a god... It's just that she lied to me for so long... Let me haunt me..."As he spoke, Bai Ye's voice went low, and then he looked out the door.
"Not a spy?"
"There's no need for people in the divine realm to do this, besides, I'm sure she's not. If she was a spy and wanted to be at the beginning, then the moment she fell into the lake with her, she would have had a chance to kill the child. ”
"Then why do you treat her like this? You just wronged yourself like this, it is better to confess your heart to her, but the mourning family has some curiosity, since this Mu Ling is a person from the divine realm, how can she still suffer from the previous prison? In the eyes of the mourning family, I am afraid that there is no such low-level immortal in this god realm!"
This point hit Bai Ye's heart, he looked at the Queen Mother blankly, pondering for a while, "Queen Mother, what do you mean..."
"Since you like this Mu Ling, then you should go boldly, the mourning family doesn't mind that it is a human being, and it will not mind that it is an immortal, if she is an immortal, maybe she will have the ability to help you. What about people? What about demons? What about immortals? She has deceived you, and I am afraid that she has something to hide, and I am afraid that she has some secrets that she cannot tell you. How could this arrogant man of the divine realm stoop down and suffer such humiliation. The mourning family is just a mention, you should think about it. ”
At this time, Bai Ye suddenly brightened, the sound outside the door became smaller and smaller, Mu Ling squatted outside the Bai Ya Palace, gradually... The tears in my eyes couldn't help but overflow...
Bai Ye thought in his heart, maybe there was some kind of hardship, and he also concealed his true identity, and he also deceived her, since this is the case, they can talk about not owing each other.
"Queen Mother, you're right! Maybe I'm too stubborn! I've made her suffer these days!"
"If only you could understand, the queen mother can only help you, and then you have to rely on yourself. ”
Immediately afterwards, Bai Ye rushed out of the White Silk Palace, and he saw Mu Ling kneeling on the ground, hugging him tightly at any time.
At this moment, Mu Ling felt that someone was grabbing her from behind, and at first glance, that familiar face was reflected in her eyes.
The voice of the vicissitudes of life trembled a little, and the excitement overflowing in his heart tightly made the two hug each other.
"Little mute... You're finally willing to see me... I'm sorry for you... What the hell are you not seeing me for?"
Bai Ye hugged Mu Ling tightly, and then touched her head, "It's me who is sorry for you, it's me who is too willful to let you suffer such grievances." ”
"I'm sorry..."The heavy voice gradually dispersed, and Mu Ling looked at Bai Ye with tears in her eyes.
Bai Ye gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then dropped a kiss, like a dragonfly.
Mu Ling froze in place, not knowing how many times this was the case... But I love it...
Bai Ye picked up Mu Ling's face and looked straight into Mu Ling's eyes, "Mu Ling... I..."
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Bai Ye wanted to speak and stopped, Mu Ling was anxious, and she didn't know what happened to the little mute?
"I..."
Not far away, the Queen Mother really couldn't stand it, so she paced to the two of them.
Mu Ling just wanted to get up and kneel down to worship the Queen Mother, and at this time, the Queen Mother waved her sleeves, "No need." ”
"To tell the truth, I am indeed impressed by you, and you naturally understand the intention of the mourning family, and the jade pendant that took me is a member of my Bai family. ”
Mu Ling just wanted to speak, but the Queen Mother continued, and she didn't dare to interject.
"My family Ye'er is so attentive to you, I want to ask you a question, you have to answer truthfully!"
Mu Ling looked at the Queen Mother suspiciously, and then nodded immediately.
"The question is simple, do you hate cold-blooded animals like snakes?"
Mu Ling didn't know why the Queen Mother asked this question, but for the little snake, she didn't hate it.
Seeing that Mu Ling shook her head, the Queen Mother's face was full of relief, and then she continued to ask, "Excuse me, this question is very satisfying to the mourning family, but you have to truthfully explain your identity!
Mu Ling was startled when she heard this, and looked up at the little mute.
"I..."
Mu Ling was hesitant, and Bai Ye on the side really couldn't stand it, so he said on her behalf, "You are a person from the God Realm, right?"
Mu Ling stayed in place, unable to move for a while, she had always told the little mute that she was a person in heaven, but the little mute had never believed her, and today he asked in person, but Mu Ling never thought about it.
"Right?"
Bai Ye waited for Mu Ling's answer, and so did the Queen Mother who was standing aside.
Mu Ling nodded.
"Then why are you here, and what is the purpose?"
"I... Queen Mother, you may have misunderstood... I'm not a bad person, I just want to have fun in this world... But the little mute never let me leave the palace, and of course I was very happy, and he took me to other places to play. To be honest, my encounter with the little mute is also fateful. I've never seen a human palace before, and he made me see it. I've never lived among humans, but the little mute helped me make it happen. ”
Mu Ling looks forward to the future, tells the past, and everything is very beautiful.
