After Zhu Yu left, Mu Qing stared out the window in a daze, carefully scrutinizing the details of the plan. But not long after, Zhu Yu came back and bowed down to report: "Niangniang, the Cheng doctor from the Tai Hospital has come to check the pulse of peace." ”

Mu Qingwei raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect Cheng Zijun to appear in Chenzhi Palace so frequently recently, she softly agreed: "Well, let her in." ”

After a while, Cheng Zijun walked in and smiled sweetly. She asked, "Yan'er, how are you feeling these days?" ”

"I'm fine, my sister doesn't have to worry, and she doesn't need to come to me so often. The more times you come to Chenzhi Palace, it will arouse suspicion. Mu Qing said with a smile.

Cheng Zijun had a different opinion on Mu Qing's words, and she comforted: "Don't worry! You are now a celebrity around the emperor, who in the palace doesn't know how to please you and please you? The hospital is even more obliged to take care of your body, I come a few more times, who dares to say goodbye? You're just too nervous about everything, that's why you're shallow and weak, so don't worry so much when it's time to relax. ”

Mu Qing lowered his head and smiled lightly, the pear vortex at the corner of his mouth appeared, and his narrow eyes were bent into two arcs. "Sister Cheng is right, but I can't see it."

Cheng Zijun grinned: "Exactly! Come, I'll cut the pulse for you. ”

Mu Qing obediently stretched out his hand, and in a moment, Cheng Zijun's soft voice came from above his head. "It's not bad, it seems that the decoction I sent you is still of some use."

"Yes, thanks to my sister's careful care on weekdays."

Suddenly, Cheng Zijun found a faint shadow on Mu Qing's arm, she immediately rolled up Mu Qing's sleeve, and sure enough, there was a small red spot. Cheng Zijun asked, "Huh?" Why did you get a red patch on your arm? Is it hurt? ”

A panic drifted through Mu Qing's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. She smiled far-fetched and said, "Don't you say that I haven't found out yet, maybe I accidentally bumped into something." ”

These days, Mu Qing has been bothering to observe the movements of the Ministry of Rites and the palace, so he occasionally forgets to apply the ointment given by Qiu Feng. Unexpectedly, Cheng Zijun discovered the red spots on his body.

Mu Qing rolled down his sleeves without a trace, covering the marks on his arms intact. In order to attract the attention of the other party, Mu Qing deliberately changed the topic and asked, "My sister came to me today, shouldn't it be as simple as just giving me a pulse?" ”

Cheng Zijun opened his eyes curiously, and the look on his face was a bit of gossip, and asked, "I heard that you accompanied the emperor to the Rui Wangfu before. What do you think? Have you met King Rui? ”

Mu Qing smiled indifferently: "It's not that I haven't seen him since I entered the palace, what's there to make a fuss about." Half a year ago, when King Rui first returned to Beijing, I happened to meet him once. ”

Cheng Zijun paused, and then continued to ask: "Then when you were in King Rui's Mansion, how did King Rui react when he saw you?" Does he remember you? ”

"Sister, you think too much, when he just came back, I accidentally bumped into King Rui and the Queen Mother in the imperial garden, and at that time I only exchanged a few words of politeness, and there was no communication, I think he should have no impression of me."

Cheng Zijun was a little disappointed, and asked again: "Didn't he recognize you?" Didn't you say anything? ”

Mu Qing knew what Cheng Zijun was looking forward to, so he didn't hide it, and said directly: "I asked King Rui to deliberately pretend to be sick in order to act in front of Liang Yinhao, not to be able to meet King Rui." What's more, with my current appearance, how can King Rui recognize me? ”

"But you can sue him!" Cheng Zijun said hurriedly, looking like the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry, which made people feel funny. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, and laughed at himself: "No, no, no, the emperor is also here this time, it is indeed inconvenient for the two of you to recognize each other, but I am confused." But there's no rush at this time. After King Rui takes over the ministry, he will inevitably be ordered to enter the palace to meet him, and the two of you will have more opportunities to meet in the future, and it will not be too late to explain to him at that time. What's next for you? ”

Mu Qing lowered his head and was silent, as if he had no intention of answering.

"You haven't figured it out yet?" Cheng Zijun lowered his face and asked, "Or... You didn't even think to reveal your true identity to King Rui? You've made that decision from the beginning, right? ”

"Sister..."Mu Qing sighed deeply, his eyes were as cold as water.

Cheng Zijun was a little excited and asked, "Why?" Why do you even have to hide this from him? Do you want to lie to him for the rest of your life? ”

"Sister, calm down and listen to me explain to you." Mu Qing hung his head, staring sadly, his eyebrows were tangled, and his always resolute eyes were scattered like autumn flowers withering at this moment. "Ruiwang did have a very good memory with me, since the memory is beautiful, why not let it stay in the most beautiful moment forever, the reality is often hideous and cruel. Now that such a state is the best for everyone, why bother to sue him and increase his troubles? As for deception... Actually, I didn't lie to him completely, the Yun Changyan in his heart did die seven years ago. ”

As soon as Cheng Zijun heard Mu Qing say this, a wave of anger rose in her heart for no reason, she stood up suddenly, and said hurriedly: "Why died seven years ago?!" You're still alive, you're alive and well! I don't care if your appearance has changed, and I don't care what your personality has become, you are a smoke to me, and I have known Yun Changyan since childhood! I believe that it is the same for Ruiwang! ”

"What can you do if you sue him?" Mu Qing asked sharply, obviously forced by Cheng Zijun to be a little impatient, "I am still the emperor's favorite concubine, trapped in the walls of this quadripartite palace, and he still has to follow his own path." What's more, with Liang Yinhuan's temperament, if he knew my true identity and knew that the controller behind the Lingshan Gang was me, do you think he would still be as single-mindedly competing with Huo Pei'an as he is now? After suing him for the truth, things will only get worse, not for the better, so what's the point of suing him? ”

After listening to Mu Qing's words, Cheng Zijun's strength seemed to be instantly drained, and tears slipped uncontrollably from his eyes, wetting his cheeks. In fact, she understood what Mu Qing meant, if she let King Rui know that the current Concubine Chen was Yun Changyan back then, and knew that Mu Qing was the emperor's favorite concubine and was willing to stay in the palace, she was afraid that King Rui would take Mu Qing away regardless of it, and she would no longer have time to care about any court battles. But despite this, Cheng Zijun still feels uncomfortable in his heart, the original pair of beautiful people have missed once, and now they can't recognize each other, what a helpless ending.
