The sound of the piano gradually enters the soft and tactful realm, if the mountains turn to the meandering and gentle stream, the stream tinkles endlessly, as if beating in the heart, dripping into the cracks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mu plucked the strings intently, her eyebrows were dyed with a light smile, Mu Ruolan was not in a hurry, she poured herself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

At the end of the song, Li Mu got up and sat down opposite Mu Ruolan, watching her move elegantly and pouring a cup of tea and pushing it over, his eyes fell softly on the snow-white soft wattle, and said slowly, "Now this king is just an idler who doesn't listen to things outside the window, leisurely and casual, why bother!" ”

Mu Ruolan stroked the hand of the teacup, "The prince blames me? ”

"If Lan saved the Rui King's Mansion from the scourge of rebellion, how can this king blame you."

"But the prince doesn't believe me?" Mu Ruolan squinted and smiled, her fingertips removed from the warm cup.

Li Mu's gaze lingered on the delicate face, "Ruolan has ever treated me sincerely?" ”

Wholehearted?

Mu Ruolan was stunned, lowered her head to hide the panic in her eyes, she could talk about transactions, cooperation, and even marriage, but never about feelings. There is such a thing as sincerity, she has to wonder if she has it!

"While the prince asks Ruolan for his sincerity, should he also offer his heart?"

The smile on that handsome face became warmer and warmer, but Mu Ruolan felt weak for no reason.

"If you are willing to accept the heart of this king, it will be in your hands." There was an indescribable glint in those dark and deep eyes, and he sighed self-deprecatingly, "Zhou Yu's trip to southern Xinjiang is extremely dangerous, aren't you worried that he won't come back?" ”

Mu Ruolan was shocked when she heard this, her brain flew up, Li Mu didn't know her true details, she had always covered it up well, making him believe that they had a common enemy, and she took off her guard.

Could it be that Zhou Yu learned her identity from Zhou Xue or Chen's mouth, and what did she say in front of Li Mu?

No, no, Mu Ruolan immediately denied this speculation. Chen and Zhou Xue were afraid that the Zhou family would be convicted of harboring the remnants of the previous dynasty, and they were even more afraid of Zhou Da's strength and did not dare to reveal half a word to the two brothers of the Zhou family, otherwise according to Zhou Yu's resolute temperament, they would have taken action against her a long time ago, and it was impossible to give her the opportunity to secretly engage in ghosts.

"The prince thinks Ruolan is at the behest of Zhou Yu?" Mu Ruolan showed a surprised expression, and then looked injured, "I'm just his nominal cousin, but his mother killed my mother, and his sister tried to kill me several times, if it weren't for the protection of General Zhou, I don't know how many times I would have died, but I can't tear my face with him, otherwise how will I deal with myself." Along the way, I promised the prince that everything has been done, and everything can't dispel the prince's doubts? It hurts my heart so much......"

Li Mu looked at her, "Now that Zhou Yu is gone, the Praetorian Guard and the Imperial Forest Army are not in harmony, it is a good time to force the palace, what are you hesitating about?" ”

"At this time, there is a chance of winning by forcing the palace, but don't forget, the situation is different from seven years ago, the reason why Li You was able to sit firmly on the dragon chair after seizing the throne was because of the joint support of the Northern Army and the Imperial Forest Army, and now we only have only 30,000 elite soldiers, so we are desperately trying to enter the palace, so what about after that? Whether the southern army or the northern army rushed to King Qin, how to resist? ”

Mu Ruolan's tone was very flat, she believed that Li Mu knew better than her that the throne was not just a matter of taking it down, you had to be able to keep it to be successful.

Li Mu's expression was faint, "You seem to have forgotten that the Zhou family is now the king's father-in-law, and Concubine Zhou is pregnant with the king's flesh and blood, which is the grandson of the Zhou family." ”

Mu Ruolan smiled, "So the prince thinks the Zhou family will support you to force the palace to usurp the throne?" ”

"This king doesn't need the support of the Zhou family, he just needs them to turn a blind eye."

"What does the prince mean by this?" Mu Ruolan realized the seriousness of the matter, and the person she thought was in control of everything deviated from her expectations.

Li Mu didn't answer, but asked her, "Does Ruolan still want to be the queen?" ”

"What do you want, what if you don't want to?" She was vigilant in her heart, and she became cautious in her speech.

"You've never liked this king, have you?"

Mu Ruolan pursed her lips to look at him, is there finally a showdown? What good is it for him to choose to tear his face with her at such a time?

Seeing that she was silent, Li Mu smiled faintly, and her voice was a little painful, "No surprise, the woman who loves this king is like a carp crossing the river, with fat and thin rings, and different styles, just one look, you can see whether she is in love with this king, but, Ruolan, in your eyes, this king can't see the slightest love, even if you deliberately pretend to be happy with this king, it can't be realistic." ”

Is that so? Her flaws are so obvious?

Mu Ruolan was speechless, looking at the pale green tea in the cup in a daze, Li Mu saw that she looked ignorant, her heart swelled slightly, and smiled bitterly, "Ruolan, you are smart and clever, exquisite, but you are only in your prime, you have not loved anyone, so you don't understand the taste of love between men and women, and you can't learn it from books." ”

"Maybe......" Mu Ruolan slowly raised her eyes to meet his eyes, "I care more about who can allow me that position, the prince said I don't love you, maybe, I don't understand that unique and strong feeling, but I also don't fall in love with someone else, if the prince doubts me because of this, then I have nothing to say." ”

Li Mu was stunned, "Until now, Ruolan is still using me." He is no longer called 'this king', his thin lips flashed with a wry smile, "You want to use me as a raft and become the target of everyone, divert the eyes of the jackals, tigers and leopards around you, and open the way for the person behind you, before he shows up, you won't let me replace Li You, because you know very well that I am more difficult to deal with than Li You, you muddy the waters, let Li You be busy dealing with Zhou Yu, prevent me, you want us to kill each other, you take advantage of the fisherman, right?" ”

There was silence, eyes met, only the bamboo leaves rustled in the wind.

I don't know how long it took, Mu Ruolan asked, "When did you know?" The words are so clear that there is no point in denying it, it's just very unexpected, and I don't know which link is exposed.

Li Mu looked away slightly, "After the rebels invaded the palace, the night you left the palace." ”

His eyes were slightly cold, that is, a few days ago, so it had nothing to do with Zhou Yu.

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and Li Mu chuckled, "It seems that you have already guessed who betrayed you." Qing'er, come out! ”

Under the door of the Moon Cave, a young woman in a crimson dress walked slowly towards them.

Mu Ruolan turned her head to look, her eyes froze, her red lips opened lightly, and she said, "Sure enough, it's you." ”

Duanmuqing walked up to Li Mu and said softly, "Lord Wang, the concubine is late, and you have suffered." ”
