In the northwest of Cangyue Country, there is a prairie, and Xuanyuan Yumo will take some cronies to the prairie every year to ride horses and shoot arrows.

It is said that this time, the bonfire feast on the grassland was specially prepared for her.

Early in the morning of the second day, Su Ruoxi changed her clothes under the service of the palace people and went to the square of the Qianqing Palace to wait.

There were five carriages in the square, and all the accompanying guards had already arrived.

Su Ruoxi took a general look, the only people she knew were Chu Yue and Mu Zihan, but it was also her expectation that they would go.

Mu Zihan saw her and bowed his head to her.

She didn't wait long, and she saw Guogong and Xuanyuan Yumo walking out of the Qianqing Hall together.

"Is it possible for the prince to go?"

Su Ruoxi thought suspiciously, not knowing what Xuanyuan Yumo was thinking in his heart.

Xuanyuan Yumo walked up to her and asked with concern, "How is it?" Did you get a good night's rest? ”

Su Ruoxi nodded and replied, "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the minister is resting." ”

Then, Xuanyuan Yumo took her hand and asked her to ride in the same carriage with him.

Just when Su Ruoxi was about to get into the carriage, Chu Yue ran over angrily, and shouted to Xuanyuan Yumo with a face full of grievances: "Cousin Huang, in the past, Chu Yue rode in the carriage with you every year, and you let her join you, what about Chu Yue?" ”

Hearing Chu Yue's words, Su Ruoxi just found an opportunity and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the county lord join you?" ”

She doesn't want to ride in a carriage with Xuanyuan Yumo yet!

Who knows, Xuanyuan Yumo took her hand and didn't let her get out of the car, but said to Chu Yue with a hint of command in his tone: "Chu Yue, you go to a carriage behind!" ”

"Imperial cousin, you!"

Chu Yue glared at Su Ruoxi fiercely, then stomped her feet and ran away.

Su Ruoxi helplessly supported her forehead, she provoked the county lord again.

After everyone had gotten into the carriage, the procession began to set out from the palace.

The carriage moved slowly, from the palace to the savannah in the northwest, a full day's journey.

Xuanyuan Yumo saw that Su Ruoxi didn't speak, so he took the initiative to speak: "You seem to be very close to Lord Mu recently?" ”

Su Ruoxi was stunned, raised her eyes to look at Xuanyuan Yumo, and saw that there was a trace of turbulence hidden in his deep eyes.

seemed very unhappy about the correspondence between her and Mu Zihan.

"I grew up in the Northern Qi Kingdom since I was a child, and the Lord of the Mu Kingdom is the monarch of the Northern Qi Kingdom, so there are some topics that can be talked about together."

"The two of them are just chatting and relieving boredom together, nothing close or close."

Hearing Su Ruoxi's answer, Xuanyuan Yumo took Su Ruoxi's hand and said softly, "Really?" I hope that in the future, when you feel bored, you can think of me, and I can also accompany you. ”

"The emperor is busy with state affairs, and the Queen Mother has some advice, if you don't dare to disturb it."

Su Ruoxi directly moved the Queen Mother out, and the Queen Mother didn't want her to get too close to Xuanyuan Yumo, so she specially told her that in addition to important things, it was better not to disturb the emperor on weekdays.

Where did she want to bother him? In her eyes, Xuanyuan Yumo is not important at all.

The women of those harems, how can they all guard against her as fox spirits, it is enough to make her upset.

"Oh? Does the Queen Mother have advice to you? ”

Xuanyuan Yumo frowned, looking as if he didn't know anything about this matter.

Su Ruoxi smiled and explained: "The Queen Mother also cares about the emperor, by the way, why did the emperor bring the prince with him?" ”

"Guogong lost the Nine Cities Edict, how much will he suspect some of it to the emperor's head, isn't the emperor afraid of taking him there this time and encountering any danger?"

The dog will jump off the wall if he is in a hurry, Xuanyuan Yumo will not give Guogong a way to live, I am afraid that Guogong will also make a move to fight back.

Xuanyuan Yumo raised his head and smiled, and said in a low voice: "With the power of the Duke of the Kingdom, he is not only suspicious of me, but one day is enough time for him to find out the truth." ”

When Su Ruoxi heard this, she immediately frowned and said, "In this way, the Duke already knows that the Nine Cities Edict is in the hands of the emperor?" ”

Xuanyuan Yumo nodded and continued: "I took him to the grassland this time just to see what he did. ”

"If he dares to oppose me, I can take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of him justifiably!"

After learning about Xuanyuan Yumo's intentions, Su Ruoxi didn't say anything more.

Although this is very risky, since Xuanyuan Yumo dares to do this, he must be fully prepared.

"Your Majesty, it will take us three days to go to the grassland this time, and after we come back from the grassland, it will be time for Cangyue and Northern Qi to sign a peace agreement, right?"

Su Ruoxi deliberately mentioned this matter, wanting to talk about Xuanyuan Yumo's tone and see what he thought in his heart.

Xuanyuan Yumo picked up the teacup on the small table in front of him, took a sip lightly, and was silent for a few seconds before he spoke: "If it's a pity, you are the high priest of my Cangyue, and you are the important minister used by my Cangyue." ”

"So, I don't want to hide it from you."

"This time, I took Lord Mu to the grassland with me, and I also wanted to see his attitude. What about the signing of a peace agreement...... Naturally, I have to wait until I come back from the grassland to make plans! ”

It seems that Xuanyuan Yumo and Mu Zihan both have their own plans in their hearts, and it may not be easy for the two countries to continue to live in peace.

Su Ruoxi secretly thought in her heart, hoping that this time she would go to the grassland and not cause too much turmoil.

"It's a pity, I learned that on the night you stole the Nine Cities Edict, you were surrounded and suppressed by the Duke of Guo, and a man in black with strong martial arts appeared next to you to help."

"That night, the Lord of Mu Guo was no longer in the palace, and the man in black who helped you should be him, right?"

Xuanyuan Yumo looked at Su Ruoxi's eyes and asked, in fact, he already knew the truth, and knew that he wanted to see how Su Ruoxi would explain.

"Since the emperor already knows, why bother asking?"

Su Ruoxi gritted her teeth secretly, it turned out that that night, Xuanyuan Yumo also sent someone to observe in secret.

Knowing that she was in danger, why didn't anyone help?

Xuanyuan Yumo, am I just a tool you use?

Seeing that Su Ruoxi did not deny it, Xuanyuan Yumo sighed lightly and said: "If it is a pity, Mu Zihan is scheming, you don't know him, but don't be deceived by him." ”

"I hope you don't get too close to him, lest you hurt our feelings."

As soon as she heard this, Su Ruoxi couldn't help but sneer: "Feelings? If you regret the relationship with the emperor, it is just a relationship between the monarch and the minister, and if you regret not daring to have any feelings with the emperor. ”

Whether it's friendship or love, what Xuanyuan Yumo does is too chilling for him.

She didn't care if Mu Zihan was scheming or not, she only knew that when she was most dangerous, he was alone who sacrificed his life to save her.
