"What was the reason why you refused to accept your mother back then?"

"It's not that I don't want to accept her, it's because I always felt that she was the woman the emperor fancied, and I thought he was destined to enter the palace as a concubine, so I deliberately alienated her and asked her not to have any illusions about me, but I didn't expect things to turn out like that."

"Does the prince think that even if she enters the palace, she will be happy? She only thinks about you, the prince, Qing Yan doesn't understand why Shen Qiuyang dares to do things, but you don't dare. ”

Her words struck King Liu Xian's heart so hard that he didn't even dare to face her gaze, even with his back to her, he seemed to feel her sharp eyes piercing into his body like a sharp blade.

He grabbed the carved wooden door with a trembling hand, and his voice choked: "It's my fault, I'm too weak, I haven't regretted a day over the years, I have secretly followed her after she got married, and I saw Shen Qiuyang taking good care of her, I thought she was living happily, I thought she would slowly forget me after a long time." But I didn't realize that it was all wrong. ”

"Things are already like this, even if the prince regrets it again, it will not help to blame himself, you should think about it calmly now, what did Shen Qiuyang do to get the emperor to agree to the marriage?"

Mo Qingyan paused for a moment, saw that he seemed to understand, and continued: "Didn't the prince suspect that this incident was too strange back then? Although I have only seen the emperor once, I can also see that he is by no means the kind of person who is so generous-hearted that he will give up what he likes to others, and the prince has followed the emperor for so long. I should know him better than I do. ”

"What do you mean," King Liu Xian chuckled in his heart.

"Does the prince really not know what happened in the middle of this?"

Hearing this, Liu Xian Wang turned his body to face her violently, and all kinds of memories came to his heart.

back then. Shen Qiuyang proposed marriage in front of the emperor, he was also very surprised, he thought that with the emperor's temperament, Shen Qiuyang would be punished, but what he heard was that the emperor wanted to marry the two.

remembered that day, he was summoned to the imperial study, and the emperor personally stated his decision. and ordered him to write the edict.

At that moment, he was shocked, and he didn't know how many times he wanted to confess his heart to the emperor, but every time he was pressed in his heart. He wrote the edict with a heavy pen and sent it to the Guogong Mansion in person.

He didn't remember how he got into the Guogong Mansion, he only remembered that he didn't dare to look at Youlan that day, just like he did now, he didn't dare to look at Mo Qingyan.

It was like a ghost to him that could not be seen, hidden in the most remote corner of his heart. Every time you touch it, you can peek into his weakness.

"At that time, the emperor claimed that the imperial court was the time to employ people. He didn't want to cause turmoil in the DPRK and China for the sake of a woman. That's why he made that decision, and I didn't think about anything because I was so devastated, so I don't know if anything happened in between. ”

Seeing his remorseful look, Mo Qingyan didn't doubt it, she knew that he had no reason to deceive her.

"Lord Wang, Qing Yan can see that you are sad now, but. I still hope that you will take a little cheer and get to the bottom of this matter. ”

"I will. For Youlan's sake, I must find out, if it was really Shen Qiuyang who did something, I would never let him go. ”

He slammed it hard against the wooden door, his face flushed with anger. Mo Qingyan looked at his back, but in this short moment, she actually felt that he seemed to be much older.

Looking at the few silver strands on his sideburns, Mo Qingyan sighed in his heart, it's only the will of heaven that blames people!

Seeing Mo Qingyan's lost look, Su Ye got up and said, "Since this is the case, then it is inconvenient for us to continue to stay here, the prince will rest early, and we will leave first." ”

"It's better for you two to have lunch and then leave, this king has already sent someone to prepare."

"No need, if you continue to stay here, I'm afraid it will cause trouble to the prince, and the prince should know it in his heart."

Su Ye glanced at him meaningfully, knowing that he knew it in his heart, he didn't say more, and took the woman's hand and left.

Saying goodbye to King Liu Xian, the two got in the car and left. Along the way, Mo Qingyan looked worried.

"Yan'er, there will always be a day when things will come to light, don't worry so much now."

"I know, but I just can't let it go."

"How about a husband accompanying you shopping? I know there's a place for snacks you'll love. ”

"I'm not in the mood." Mo Qingyan said weakly, looking at him apologetically. "Ye, I know you want to make me happy, but I really don't want to do anything right now."

Su Ye took her in his arms and did not speak. He knew that no matter how much he persuaded her at this time, she would not accept it.

The carriage moved forward slowly, listening to the shouts of the vendors outside the car, and then looking at the woman leaning on him weakly, Su Ye's eyes lit up, and he said softly: "Yan'er, can I accompany you to Shen Mansion at night?" ”

Hearing this, Mo Qingyan raised his head and looked at him fiercely: "Really? ”

"Of course, when did you regret what your husband promised you?"

Mo Qingyan's eyes rolled, as if he was carefully thinking about something, and after a while, he seemed to confirm the general "It doesn't seem to be"

"Yan'er" looked at her serious reminiscence, Su Ye was really angry and funny. "However, you have to promise me that since we have decided to go at night, you must not think about it again from now on,"

"Well, I'll try not to think about it."

"Not as much as possible, absolutely not. Do you understand? ”

Seeing that he said it so seriously, although Mo Qingyan was helpless, she knew that the only way to listen to him was now, she immediately attached a flattering smile, and said coquettishly: "Okay, listen to you." ”

Seeing that he was always so useful for this trick, Mo Qingyan rubbed against his chest again, like an additional reward.

"Leprechaun"

Su Ye gritted his teeth and said, he only hated that he always had nothing to do with her like this.

****

In the dead of night, Mo Qingyan ordered Su'er to rest early, and couldn't wait to pull Su Ye out while no one was paying attention.

The two went straight to the Shen Mansion, and Su Ye secretly observed for a while, then quickly flashed into the backyard where Mo Qingyan had lived before.

By the moonlight, Mo Qingyan saw that the courtyard in front of him was already overgrown with weeds and a depressed scene.

It was evident that no one had set foot here since she left.

"The people of the Shen Mansion are really ruthless."

"Yan'er, don't think about anything else yet, let's take a look in the first room."

Su Ye gently pushed the door, waved his hand to block the falling dust for the woman, took the residual candle on the table and lit it, and hugged the woman for fear that she would accidentally bump into it.

The room was still the same as before Mo Qingyan left, nothing more, nothing less, and even the mattress she had made was still neatly placed there.

She walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, caressing the old curtain, which she remembered vividly when she first arrived.

Suddenly, she got up and walked to the side of the bed, groped around the bed for a while, and finally opened the dark pavilion next to the bed.

Su Ye approached the candle and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "How can there be a dark grid here?" ”

Mo Qingyan didn't answer directly, but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If I hadn't discovered this secret grid, I'm afraid I would have died of illness here." (To be continued......)
