Xia Yi watched coldly from beginning to end, without saying a word, but her heart was full of thoughts.

When he first saw Mu Qingge in Mu's house, he was amazed. Then along the way to Wucheng with Mu Qingge, he was attracted by Mu Qingge's personality that was different from other girls, and he was inevitably confused for a while.

In fact, Xia Yi and Wang Su are real childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses. Before meeting Mu Qingge, Xia Yi was also very good to Wang Su. Later, Xia Yi even thought about a showdown with Wang Su and proposed marriage to Mu Qingge.

It's just that at this time, something happened to the Xia family, and Wang Su's deep affection for Xia Yi made him unable to open his mouth. At the same time, Mu Qingge went to find Shang Qirui for the Xia family, but blocked a sword for Shang Qirui.

When he heard the news, Xia Yi's heart was very shocked, but he told himself that it might be an accident. Later, when the rainstorm came, Mu Qingge went to rescue Shang Qirui with illness and rain, and Xia Yi woke up. He can't afford to love a woman like Mu Qingge, and her strong feelings will make her feel scared and worried. With such a comparison, Xia Yi understood that Wang Su was the most suitable person for him.

Xia Yi began to rejoice that he didn't tell Wang Su those hurtful words, and between them, they could continue to live as if nothing had happened. However, when he faced Mu Qingge again, he felt a little embarrassed and ashamed, he didn't even dare to like her.

"I originally thought that I would wait until I drank your wedding wine before leaving, but now it seems that it will not work." The things have been delivered, Xia Yi and the others are also going back, Mu Qingge pulled Wang Sudao and said, "I can only wish my cousin and sister-in-law a hundred years of happiness here in advance, love and white-headed, you must be happy." I hope that the next time we meet, we will be able to see my little nephew. ”

"What are you talking about, girl, young age?" A person as atmospheric as Wang Su couldn't help but be shy when he heard this kind of words.

"Cousin, don't worry, we will be happy." Xia Yi walked over, put her arm around Wang Su's shoulder, looked at Mu Qingge, and said word by word, "Cousin, you also want to be happy." ”

Knowing that Xia Yi was completely let go, Mu Qingge breathed a sigh of relief, and was really happy for him and Wang Su.

Early the next morning, Shang Qirui and others packed up and prepared to leave for the capital.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of Zhuangfu, he saw a person kneeling outside, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Wu Tongju.

"Yo, Lord Wu, this early in the morning, you are here to see off His Royal Highness? The news is fast enough. Shang Qirui hated this person to death, and he didn't show mercy when he spoke.

"Your Highness, the guilty minister is here to ask for sin." Wu Tongju knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "It was all the fault of the criminal ministers in the past, and they should not have been blinded by coercion and temptation, and almost made a big mistake, putting the people of the entire Wucheng in danger." ”

Shang Qirui snorted coldly, this time, although because of the timely rest of the embankment, Wucheng was not as damaged as in the previous life. However, it is obvious that the matter of Wucheng can no longer be contained, he is a prince, and he almost died in Wucheng several times, and it is impossible for the emperor not to picket the matter of Wucheng to the end. At this time, Wu Tongju came to admit his mistake, but he saw that there was no way to live, and he wanted to pretend to be loyal and pitiful.

"The wicked have done many wrongs, but they have been with them in the past. Therefore, I know a lot about the activities behind those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. The criminal minister was willing to return to Beijing with His Highness, meet the Holy Lord, and point out the scum who had plagued the country. Wu Tongju did not stop because of Shang Qirui's attitude, but was even more excited.

Shang Qirui was stunned for a moment and said, "It's all this time, don't think about relying on these to alleviate your sins, why did you go earlier?" ”

"Your Highness has misunderstood, the sinner is not trying to alleviate his sins. The criminal knew that the sin was serious, and death was not enough to make up for it, so the criminal wanted to do something for the people of the court. Wu Tongju said with tears in his eyes, and it seemed that he was really repentant, "The guilty minister saw that His Highness worked tirelessly to build the embankment, and in order to save the people who were affected by the disaster, he put himself in danger. The sinner was deeply moved, and felt that what he had done was inferior. Therefore, the criminals exposed the corrupt officials not to protect themselves, but really found out in conscience, and they felt deeply sorry for His Highness and the people of Wucheng. ”

Shang Qirui pondered for a while, and finally said: "Okay, since you have the heart to change, follow me into Beijing." Although your confession will not reduce your sentence, it should alleviate the guilt in your heart. ”

Wu Tong thanked him and stood up, and Shang Qirui noticed that this person had locked himself up.

Shang Qirui didn't say much, but handed the person over to Lord Chen and they watched.

After saying goodbye to the people of Zhuangfu, Shang Qirui and his entourage set off. Mu Qingge sat in a carriage alone, thinking that when she came, there were three people, but when she went back, there were only two people, and her mood couldn't get any better. Poria also knew that Mu Qingge was in a bad mood, and she herself was worried about Su Mu, so she didn't dare to talk much, and the whole carriage looked lifeless along the way.

During the lunch break, Doctor Ji asked Mu Qingge to go over and look at the injuries on Shang Qirui's body.

"Your Highness, do you really believe in that Wu Tong's judgment?" Shang Qirui's injuries have improved a lot, Mu Qingge is a little worried about Wu Tong's judgment, he has to follow at this time, he really can't tell what the purpose is.

Shang Qirui suddenly remembered that after Mu Qingge blocked a sword for him that day, he was in a coma, and suddenly woke up and said to him, asking him to be careful and pay attention to safety. It seems that she is really worried about herself.

"I'm sure I can't fully trust him, but if he's sincere, we'll be able to follow this line and catch a bunch of moths that plague the people, and I'm willing to take that risk." Shang Qirui said gently.

"Since Your Highness has already made a decision, I will presumably pay attention to safety, so I am relieved." Mu Qingge stood up and prepared to go back.

"Qingge, are you worried about me?" Shang Qi couldn't help but ask.

Mu Qingge paused, then turned around and smiled: "Of course." If anything happens to His Highness, none of us who are traveling with him will want to live. ”

With that, Mu Qingge jumped out of Shang Qirui's carriage and returned to his carriage.

Shang Qirui looked at the falling car curtain, his breath was blocked in his chest, he couldn't spit it out, he couldn't swallow it, and he was uncomfortable to death.

When I returned to Beijing, I was not in such a hurry as when I came. Every day, I was looking for an inn in Chen Town early to rest.

There were no major incidents along the way, until the evening of the fourth day, when Shang Qirui and his party had just stopped at the inn, they obviously felt that someone was following.
