In the dark, the person next to him gently kissed her forehead, and the tears on his face slid down to her face, making Rong Zheng's heart tighten for a while.

"I have been frail and sickly since I was a child, and in my little memory, my mother broke her heart for my body. She always let a large crowd follow me, afraid that I would have the slightest accident. I have the impression that she is a strict woman and treats people harshly. I still remember a time when my sister helped me get rid of those who always followed me like flies, sister, I ......" Mu Xuan paused for a moment before he said with difficulty: "And Shangzhou." At that time, Shangzhou and I were very young, and my sister was a few years older than us, and we all followed her. Carrying the adults on his back, he quietly ran to his own boat to go rowing. The three little children are not yet twenty years old, and where can they row a boat. Later, there was an accident and my sister fell into the water. Sangju and I were both stupefied......"

"We shouted for help, and finally someone came to save us. My sister was finally rescued, and there was no danger. Because of that accident, I also became seriously ill. My sister was soaked in the water and also fell ill. A son and a daughter were sick at the same time, and the mother concubine was undressed, taking care of us day and night. Later, Sangju came to see us at the villa, and he said that after he went back, he was scolded by his father and his mother beat him. He asked me if my mother had beaten us. I said I wasn't beaten. At that time, I realized that although my mother was strict, she had never spoken ill of my sister and me, let alone done it. It's just that after my sister recovered from her illness, her mother punished her sister to go to the Buddha Hall. I'm afraid that my sister still remembers this. If Sangju were alive, he might still remember it. ”

"Not long after that, I learned from the nurse that my mother was pregnant again. My mother once took me by the hand and told me that I was going to be an older brother, and asked me if I wanted a younger brother or a younger sister. I casually said that I liked my brother. The mother smiled softly and touched my hair. Later, my mother touched my hair and said something, and now I can't remember it no matter how much I remember. ”

"May 12 is the queen's birthday, and it happens to be the queen's 40th birthday, and the prince took his sister to Beijing to congratulate the queen on her birthday. Originally, he was going to take me, but because my health was very bad at that time, I had to take medicine every day. The weather was hot and I couldn't stand the toss, so I stayed in Bianliang. Before leaving, the prince told the concubine to let her take care of me and my mother. The concubine took us back to the palace. The concubine said that she was afraid that I would quarrel with my mother, so she let us live in different courtyards. Every day, a large group of maids still follow me. Until that day......"

Mu Xuan was silent.

Rong Zheng hurriedly asked, "Did something happen?" ”

Mu Xuan's voice was a little hoarse, and said, "Something happened to the concubine, ......" He said more and more cautiously: "I'm still young and don't understand anything, but the nurse hugged me to the concubine and told me that the concubine was sick." At that time, I thought that my mother was the same as me, as long as I obediently took medicine and listened to the doctor, my mother would be fine in two days. ”

"But ......" Mu Xuan continued with difficulty: "When the sky was just dawning, the nurse woke me up from my sleep, knelt beside me and told me that the concubine had died......

This is the first time Mu Xuan has talked to Rong Zheng about his mother's death. Rong Zheng couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard the end, and she hugged Mu Xuan's arm tightly. Mu Xuan's words reminded her of her biological mother, who had been dead for many years.

It turns out that their fates are so similar, and perhaps only Rong Zheng can best understand Mu Xuan's current mood in this world.

Mu Xuan hugged Rong Zheng tightly in her arms, and said dryly: "Ah Zheng, the two people I care about the most in this world, one is you and the other is my sister." I will protect you. No matter what happens, I will watch over you. ”

Rong Zheng choked up and said, "Junhua, nothing will happen." We're all going to be fine. ”

When Rong Zheng thought that tonight's conversation would end like this, he heard Mu Xuan say: "But no one thought that it was the closest person around us who betrayed us." Concubine she...... The concubine didn't save her when she died, and even added fuel to the fire so that the concubine left me and my sister early. ”

Rong Zheng was shocked, she looked at Mu Xuan with wide eyes. There was no light in the tent, and no matter how wide her eyes were, she couldn't see Mu Xuan's face clearly.

"How could it be...... How could it be...... Concubine she ......"

"Sangju helped me find the truth back then. It's cruel, but it can't be helped, that's the truth. Mu Xuan's tone carried a hint of indignation.

"I'm afraid that I can't hide this from the county lord, and sooner or later I will let her know. But the county lord's body ......"

This is also what Mu Xuan is most worried about at the moment. There was a storm about to rise now, but he felt scared, afraid that his sister who knew the truth would be sad and angry, afraid that her body would not be able to bear it.

Mu Xuan sighed heavily, and said for a long time: "Let's take a step and see a step." You're with your sister these days. Say something happy to tease her. ”

"I will."

"I'm probably going to be back a little late these days, you don't have to wait for me, you can eat when you need to, sleep when you need to. I'll take care of the rest, just stand behind me. Whatever happens, it's up to me to face it. ”

"Well, you have to be careful out there, too. No matter what, you have to bring people with you. Otherwise, the county lord and I will not be at ease. It's not bad for the Gan brothers you left to me, you take them with you. ”

Mu Xuan agreed to Rong Zheng.

Early the next morning, Rong Zheng had already woken up. It's still empty. She remembered Mu Xuan's words last night, and her heart was turbulent, but she didn't dare to confide in anything. She had to keep it for the time being. When I arrived at the Splendid Courtyard, I saw the lord of Duanhui gossiping with the Chen family.

When Duan Hui saw her coming, he smiled and beckoned her to come over, and said to her, "Ah Zheng came to talk to me." ”

"What's the joy of anything?"

Duan Hui said with a smile: "I just told the nurse about my naughty things when I was a child, you can also listen to it, know how naughty I am, and educate children in the future." ”

Rong Zheng looked at the bright smile of the county lord, and said in his heart, this is what Mu Xuan wants to protect.

On this day, Mu Xuan still returned late. When he came back, Duan Hui had already fallen asleep, and only Rong Zheng was still waiting for him to come back.

Rong Zheng looked at Mu Xuan, who was tired, and she didn't ask anything. Mu Xuan even slept on the bed, unlike last night, Mu Xuan actually fell asleep earlier than Rong Zheng.

When he was about to wake up, Mu Xuan said in Rong Zheng's ear: "I'm leaving, you and your sister are waiting for me at home." ”

Rong Zheng couldn't even open her eyelids, she answered in a daze. Mu Xuan tapped her forehead, turned around and walked out.

The morning sun had already risen from the east, he ate a few bites of food indiscriminately, went to the Splendid Courtyard to inquire that his sister hadn't gotten up yet, and didn't bother again. Pingkang led the horse, and Mu Xuan called the Gan brothers and turned over on the horse.

Before entering the city, he went to another place.

Master Yuankong hadn't seen Mu Xuan for more than half a year, and the first thing he said when he saw him was: "The murderous aura on your body is too heavy." ”

Mu Xuan said awe-inspiringly: "Before, the master said that my karma was too heavy and I couldn't leave home. I didn't understand it then, but now I understand it. ”

Master Yuankong said: "Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" If you don't make a decision, you won't be able to let go of it in this life, cause and effect will be reincarnated, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end. There you go! ”

Mu Xuan kowtowed to his master, and then turned to leave.

Master Yuankong looked at his departing figure, shook his head slightly, and said in his heart that all this is karma.

When Mu Xuan arrived at the palace, he took out his pocket watch and saw that it was already time.

The servants guarding the door were extremely surprised when they saw that it was Mu Xuan, and came up to greet Mu Xuan, and one of them deliberately flattered came up and asked with a smile: "When did the uncle come back, the prince happened to be at home." The little one will report to the uncle. ”

Mu Xuan had a cold face and strode towards the house. Immediately, someone led the horse for Mu Xuan to feed the aquatic plants.

Concubine Yan was influenced by her father to believe in Taoism, and two days ago, the aunt of Sanqingdong came to the house as a guest, and Concubine Yan stayed with the aunt for a few days. Early in the morning, he passed on the teacher aunt to preach and read Taoist classics in front of him. Concubine Yan listened with relish.

"It's hot here, and I'm thinking about staying in your temple for a while. It's cool there, but our princess is sick, and you'll have to wait two more days. ”

The aunt said: "Sanqingdong welcomes the concubine at any time. ”

Concubine Yan smiled, and said to Mama You beside her: "Last year, the county lord and I went to spend the summer together, and she was not interesting, so I won't let her go this year." Let's let Wen'er accompany me. ”

Mama You smiled: "Then the old slave will go and tell the third lady." ”

Concubine Yan nodded.

Mama You walked out, and just lifted the curtain, she suddenly heard her exclaim outside the curtain: "Ah, why did the uncle come back?" ”

Concubine Yan was slightly stunned, and said in her heart, who is this You Shi calling?

Then she heard heavy steps, and in an instant the curtain was lifted again. A young man in a brocade dress came in. The apricot-white gauze robe sets him off with extraordinary bearing.

Of all the children in the family, he is the most beautiful.

Concubine Yan nodded with a smile and said, "When did Da Lang come back?" ”

Mu Xuan bowed slightly, and said, "Concubine, Xuan has something to say to the concubine." ”

What did this kid say, Concubine Yan felt a little strange, she glanced at her aunt sitting on the pestle and said, "You go down first." ”

The senior aunt got up and saluted Concubine Yan and slowly retreated.

Mu Xuan glanced at the maids in front of him and said, "Everyone else should go down, and don't let anyone break in." I have a few words that I would like to talk to the concubine alone. ”

At this moment, Mu Xuan's two eyes were like a sword with cold light, which made people feel extremely cold. The maids were a little afraid of Mu Xuan at the moment, and without waiting for Concubine Yan's orders, they retreated one after another.

Concubine Yan felt that something was wrong today, what was this kid going to do. She glanced at Mu Xuan vigilantly.

Mu Xuan stood there like a pine, his body straight. The whole body exudes an inviolable temperament. At this moment, Concubine Yan suddenly remembered the late Chai. Mother and son are really imaginary in some ways. She squinted her eyes slightly, and secretly said that Mu Xuan suddenly came to her, and there would definitely be nothing good. She had to brace her spirits to deal with this eldest grandson.

"Da Lang, what are you doing here, what do you have to say to your grandmother?"

Mu Xuan's face did not change and said: "Concubine, I only ask you, how did he die in Shangzhou?" ”

Concubine Yan's heart jumped, and she forced her composure and said: "Xiao Qi's death is not clear to the Cui family, why do you come to ask me?" I don't go out much, how do I know? ”

Mu Xuan's face was as cold as ice, and the words he said were naturally as sharp as knives.

"The concubine doesn't know, so I'll tell you something the concubine knows."

"You sent someone to follow Sangju, looking for opportunities to do it everywhere. Until he went to Yuntai Temple to find my sister. It's not enough for you to have someone dig a trap halfway through, you want his life and throw a vine with thorns smeared with poison in the trap. Everything is in your calculations, and in the process of returning to the city, Sangju really fell into the trap, and the horse fell into the trap. Sangju had his leg cut by a thorn, and the venom ran down the scratched skin. But two hours of hard work was hopeless. ”

Concubine Yan's face turned pale, and she slapped the case, and said angrily: "Da Lang, you are crazy!" I'm your own grandmother, and you're framing your grandmother like this?! Why should I harm Xiao Qi? I'm fed and struggling, what do I want his life to do? ”

Mu Xuan sneered: "This is simpler, because Shang Zhou has something in his hand that is very unfavorable to you. You have a weak heart, just like those people at the beginning, you can clean up what you can. At that time, I was young, so naturally I didn't understand anything, but now I'm not so easy to bluff. ”

"Dalang! You know what you're talking about. Is there someone like you talking to your elders like that? Is there someone like you who disobeys your elders? I only ask your father...... "Concubine Yan said that she was about to go out, planning to go out and call someone.

Mu Xuan's eyes were quick, he grabbed Concubine Yan, and with a slight force in his hand, he quickly subdued Concubine Yan.

Concubine Yan trembled, looking at Mu Xuan in horror and inexplicably, she never dreamed that one day her own grandson would hold her hostage like this! Or this grandson who has been sick and weak since he was a child, when did he have such a strong physique and such great strength, she asked tremblingly: "Da Lang, what are you going to do?" Do you still want to kill your relatives? I am your own grandmother, your father's biological mother! ”

Yes, the woman in front of him was his biological grandmother, he couldn't slash her, he didn't let go of Concubine Yan's hand, and shouted at Concubine Yan: "You go over there and sit still!" The grandson still has nothing to say. Our grandparents and grandchildren haven't seen each other for a long time, so we always have to talk about our family and talk about the past. ”

Concubine Yan shuddered, and was forced to retreat to a circle chair in the corner to sit by the momentum of the person in front of her. I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, this kid was going to reverse today. She couldn't sit still like this, she had to find a way to save herself.

"I have something to ask you, and I won't delay you for long. One by one, you have to ask for clarification, and you have to make the deceased blind. ”

Concubine Yan's whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and she looked at the situation in her heart, most likely because Mu Xuan knew something. I'm afraid that I won't be able to fool him easily. (To be continued.) )
