At this stalemate, Xiaomei spoke.

"Sister, come with me." Xiaomei walked up to Murong Hong, took his hand, and walked inside.

"Where are you going?" Mama Li shouted.

"I said a few words to her, and then I came out." Xiaomei turned around and said.

Mama Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, you can bring her out for me as soon as possible, otherwise, I will have to tell the prince about this matter." ”

"You can rest assured." Xiaomei walked in with Murong Hong without looking back, the same place where she had just taken a bath.

"What are you going to say to me?" After walking in, Murong Hong said angrily, "Do you want to persuade me to accept the examination of that stable woman?" ”

Xiaomei crossed her arms over her chest, looked at Murong Hong, and suddenly smiled.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Murong Hong was stunned.

"I laugh at you, you have a good kung fu, but you use it in the wrong place." Xiaomei smiled.

"You, what do you mean by that?"

"I know you have kung fu, and your strength is not small." Xiaomei said, "My ancestor was also an official, or a military attaché, although I don't know martial arts, but I can understand it to some extent, you must be a person who practices martial arts, and you have practiced for at least ten years, right?" ”

"You, how do you see that?" Murong Hong was taken aback.

"I told you I could read it." Xiaomei pursed her lips, "I said, this sister surnamed Mu." How old are you this year? There's 24, right? ”

Xiaomei didn't seem to be in a hurry to tell Murong Hong anything, but chatted with him here.

“24？ Oh no, I'm 27, of course, you're right when you say I'm 24, one is a year old, and the other is a virtual age. Murong Hong smiled.

I am indeed 24 years old, but the Murong Xue I possess is 27 years old, all right.

"There is so much difference between this year old and imaginary year? However, at your age, it stands to reason that you should have married a long time ago, right? Xiaomei looked Murong Hong up and down, "Although you look a few years younger than your actual age, you haven't married at the age of 27, so it's a bit unreasonable." ”

"Not really, I think so too." Murong Hong nodded, "Hey, it's all my sister's choice, and in the end, she can't get married at this age." ”

"Your sister?"

"Oh no, it's me, it's me." Murong Hong corrected.

In fact, it was precisely because of Murong Xue's pick-and-choose that Murong Hong had the opportunity to bump into her, and there was the emotional story between the two.

"Are you, are you already with a man?" Xiaomei lowered her voice.

"No, no." Murong Hong shook his head, but he was not so sure in his heart.

"Really?" Xiaomei frowned, "You are 27 years old, and you look so beautiful, how can you still be a big girl with yellow flowers?" Who sent you to the palace? ”

"This." Murong Hong didn't know how to answer, and stood there awkwardly.

I also want to know if Murong Xue is a yellow flower girl? But if she's no longer there, will I feel better?

"Did I say something on your mind?" Xiaomei then asked, "Are you afraid that you will find out that you are not a virgin, so you refuse to be inspected by Wen Po?" ”

"No, absolutely not!" Murong Hong shook his head, "I'm sure, I, I'm definitely original!" ”

But when he said this, he was not so sure in his heart.

How do I know if Murong Xue is the original? There are some things that are more comfortable not knowing than knowing.

But, Murong Hong, what are you thinking? Is my sister original, and what does it have to do with you, the younger brother? Sooner or later, she will marry another man, and when the time comes, even if it is original, it will have to be given to another man to dismantle.

Thinking of the scene when Murong Xue was pressed under another man, Murong Hong's heart was full of pain.

Murong Hong, you are still not a man, how can you be willing to give away your beloved woman to others?

"Are you convinced?" Xiaomei looked at Murong Hong, "But your eyes tell me that you are suspicious, right?" Why do you doubt yourself? ”

"I'm skeptical? What do I suspect? Murong Hong became nervous, "I don't have it, if I don't have it, if I don't have it, what is there to doubt." ”

"You are obviously suspicious, a person's eyes can't deceive people." Xiaomei said, "If you are suspicious of yourself, then you will be even more suspicious of others?" ”

"If you doubt yourself, aren't you even more suspicious of others?" Murong Hong muttered, "Am I suspicious? ”

"Yes, your eyes are suspicious, I was not mistaken." Xiaomei said, "Before, grandpa told me that from a person's gaze, you can see his character. When he wants to select his generals, he will look at the other party's eyes and judge whether this person is suitable for the position. ”

"Really? You, your grandfather is really an official, or a military attaché? ”

"Yes, my surname is actually Dugu, and my name is Dugumei." Xiaomei nodded.

"Dugu?" Murong Hong was stunned for a moment, "Such a strange surname, strange, why do I feel so familiar when I hear this surname?" ”

"This Dugu is the surname of our netherworld." Xiaomei smiled, "Let me tell you the truth, my grandfather used to be the general of the Zhenguo, and he is still the uncle of the current king, and our family is originally a relative of the emperor." ”

"What?" Murong Hong was stunned, "You, are you from the royal family?" But, but how did you enter the palace and become a palace maid? ”

"Hey, someone accused my grandfather of rebellion. He was relieved of his military power and thrown into prison. Xiaomei sighed, "Because my grandfather has outstanding military achievements and is the king's uncle, although he was not asked about capital crimes, he died in prison with hatred." Later, my family was exiled, and because I was young, I was sent to the palace to be a maid. ”

"However, you are also a member of this Dugu family, counting it, you and the current king are considered to be the relationship between uncle and niece. He, how can he make you a palace maid? If, in case he wants to be happy with you in the future, won't it be incest? Murong Hong said.

"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." Dugu Xiaomei said, "In order to avoid trouble, I have changed my surname, and I will be called Gu Xiaomei, this Gu is the homonym of Dugu's lonely character, therefore, the people in the palace don't know my origin, and they think I'm just a country girl." ”

"Huh? So, how can you tell me about your background? Murong Hong was stunned.

"I think you're very good, sister, so I trust you very much." Dugu Xiaomei, now it should be called Gu Xiaomei smiled, "So, I will tell you my life experience." ”

"But, what do you have to do with this inspection?" Murong Hong frowned.

"Sister, I just want to tell you that there are some things you can't escape." Gu Xiaomei said, "If you don't accept Wen Po's inspection, they will find a way to give you a mandatory inspection sooner or later, and you can't hide from it." If you refuse to be examined and are found out that you are not a virgin, do you know what the consequences will be? ”

"What consequences?"

"You will be convicted of deception and beaten to death with a stick!" Xiaomei Road.

"Beat to death with a stick?"

"yes."

"No, isn't it over by driving you out of the palace?" Murong Hong was taken aback.

"It's not that simple, if you take the initiative to be examined and are found to be not a virgin, then you are indeed just driven out of the palace. But if you resist the inspection, it is disobedience, and you have only a dead end. Xiaomei said, "My grandfather said to me before his death, it is very good for a person to have a strong personality, but you still have to endure it when you should endure it." He was wrongfully imprisoned, but he didn't defend himself very excitedly, nor did he scold, although she eventually died in prison, but she still saved our family's lives. Some of the other generals were not so lucky, and several of them were beheaded. If it were my grandfather, he couldn't help it, and scolded the king, if it didn't work, our whole family would have to go to Huangquan to report. ”

"yes." Murong Hong nodded, "It's not that I don't want to compromise and seek satisfaction, but I'm still afraid." ”

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I really check out that I'm not 616161616161" Murong Hong was still a little hesitant.

"It's what it should be, it's what it is. Do you think there are any secrets in this world that can be hidden? Xiaomei said indifferently, "Sister, I told you my life experience because I trusted you." If you also trust me, then you should listen to your sister, be brave, and face all the results, even if they are not good for you. What use can you run away? ”

"This." Murong Hong had nothing to say and lowered his head.

Are you running away from something?

That's right, I've been running away. What he is avoiding is not the question of whether Murong Xue is a virgin, but how he should face this relationship and how to choose.

In Murong Hong's heart, there were always two forces fighting fiercely.

A kind of power is the power of love, he loves Murong Xue, he wants to get her, and even wants to completely possess her and not let anyone touch her. She just belongs to herself.

However, another force told him: she was his adoptive sister. From an ethical point of view, I shouldn't have that kind of thought, I should forget about her completely!

Affection and reason, constantly fighting, cut Murong Hong's heart in half. Half fire, half ice.

"If you don't want to get tested, that's fine." Xiaomei said, "I'll go out and tell Mama Li and them, you don't want to check, you just need to go out of the palace." Mama Li can still listen to my words, and she doesn't like you to stay here anyway. In this way, you can go out of the palace and live your free life. ”

"No, I don't want to leave the palace." Murong Hong bit his lip, "Actually, I wasn't forced to enter the palace, I came in voluntarily. ”

"Voluntary?" Xiaomei looked at Murong Hong in surprise, "Don't you know what terrible things you will encounter when you enter this palace?" ”

"I know, but, now that I've decided, there's no turning back." Murong Hong nodded, "Since I came in without fear of death, am I still afraid of this examination?" Okay, I'll go. ”

"Really?" Xiaomei was silent for a moment, and nodded, "Okay, you can come out with me." ”

In the end, Murong Hong still accepted the examination of the stable woman.

This kind of examination is actually not complicated, that Wen Po just looked at Murong Hong's lower body first, and then asked someone to bring a brazier with ashes, and put a goose feather in Murong Hong's nostrils. Wait until Murong Hong can't stand the stimulation of this goose feather and sneeze, and then see if the wind from his lower body will blow up the ashes in the brazier.

Although he felt that this examination was a bit ridiculous and ridiculous, Murong Hong still accepted this examination.

However, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

The ashes in the brazier were still blown up.

Although it didn't seem that the wind was strong, Wen Po didn't say anything, and her face was very calm, but what was behind this calm?
