"But if you don't help me, I'll have to die. If you don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of you, is this your way of healing? ”

Nalan Jinxiu was silent, how could she not know that Shen Congqian was persecuting her. It's just that everyone has their own bottom line, and although she can easily get rid of that child, she doesn't want to.

may be because she couldn't ask for it in her previous life, she always felt that the child and the mother had a fate, and what she had was a blessing. Or maybe she relived this life and was more convinced of the reincarnation of cause and effect. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, if she kills this child for Shen Congqian today, then she doesn't know how to pay off this debt in the future.

"Sheng'er, even if I beg you, I don't dare to alarm others to ask for a doctor, I'm afraid that the wall has ears. Now it's really just you who can help me, you can help me. ”

It was the first time for Shen Congqian to ask for someone like this, and it stands to reason that Nalan Jinxiu should not refuse. But she doesn't like Shen Congqing's words that secretly threaten her, if she does it, it will violate her conscience, and if she doesn't do it, she will force Shen Congqian to death. Let others take responsibility for their own affairs, how can there be such a good thing in this world?

"If you have to talk to me like that, then please go out, I'm sorry, I can't help you. ”

"Xu Jinsheng!" Shen Congqi shouted: "How can you see death and not save it?"

Her voice was not friendly, Mu Li, who was originally guarding in the distance, heard it, afraid that she would hurt the county lord, pushed the door in, and saluted Nalan Jinxiu: "County lord, you should go to the medical center." ”

Nalan Jinxiu restrained her thoughts and said to Shen Congqian: "I have something to do, mother, please go back!"

Shen Congqian looked at her in disbelief, her pale glass eyes were full of tears, but in the end, she didn't let them roll down. She walked away with her skirt in her hands, her steps a little vain, and she staggered from behind.

Nalan Jinxiu wanted to stop her and wanted to discuss a solution with her. But for some reason, there was always an opposing voice in her heart, and she kept telling her that she wanted to stay away from Shen Congqian and couldn't make friends.

"The county lord. Mu Li saw a wandering look in her eyes, and couldn't help but call her, a little worried. Although the princess was close to her, he always felt that something was not quite right.

"I'm alright, is it time to go to the hospital?"

"Nope. ”

"Then you ......"

"I don't think you and the princess are getting along very well. ”

Nalan Jinxiu looked at him, he has really developed a lot of skills recently, not only can he observe words, but also lie for her. It's good to go on like that. Only if he thinks about her wholeheartedly, can she trust him wholeheartedly. Only when the master and servant trust each other will they become impregnable and will not be exploited by others.

"Mu Li. Nalan Jinxiu suddenly called out to him.

"The subordinates are here. ”

"You've been doing well lately, and the county is commending you. ”

Mu Li didn't have a trace of superfluous expression on his face, and still saluted respectfully: "It is the duty of subordinates to solve problems for the monarch, and I dare not ask for credit." ”

Nalan Jinxiu felt that Mu Li was really pedantic by her brother, she worked so hard to help him change, every time she saw a little hope, he would always give her a slap in the face. She pulled over the chair and sat down, and without speaking, she looked at him quietly.

Mu Li was inexplicably looked at by her, and wanted to ask her what was wrong, but he didn't dare. He vaguely felt that the county lord was not very happy, but why she was unhappy, he couldn't think of a reason. He felt that he must not have provoked her, it should be the princess, and she had a very bad attitude towards the county lord just now. Mu Li thought like this, and secretly warned himself in his heart that when the princess came in the future, she must watch the county lord closely and not let them be alone anymore.

"Don't talk to me about those face-saving things, knowing that I don't like to hear them. After a long time, Nalan Jinxiu said. She was waiting for Mu Li to figure it out, according to her experience, if Mu Li figured it out, he wouldn't do it again next time. If someone had told him a commanding warning, he would have forgotten it in less than two days.

Mu Li didn't know that she was talking to herself, after all, she had been ignoring him for a long time. And she didn't say this loudly, and he was just thinking about how to separate the princess from the county lord, so he only heard her mutter, thinking that she was talking to herself, so he didn't care.

Nalan Jinxiu narrowed her eyes, this kid, yes! I even dared to ignore her words. She stood up and walked over to him, lifted her jade foot and gave him a hard kick.

Although she used a lot of strength in this kick, Mu Li didn't hurt. Because she wears soft shoes in the house, soft and soft soles, it doesn't hurt to kick people. Besides, he has rough skin and thick flesh, where can her little girl hurt. It's like an intimate coquettish...... What is he thinking, how can he offend the county lord so much, Mu Lizhong blamed himself, lowered his head, and didn't dare to say a word.

After Nalan Jinxiu saw that he kicked him, he still didn't react, and said arrogantly: "This county lord is talking to you!"

Mu Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "What did the county lord say to his subordinates?"

Nalan Jinxiu sighed resignedly, helplessly: "I said, don't talk to me in the future, those are used to deal with outsiders, I don't like to hear it." ”

Mu Li saw her puffing out her cheeks and staring at him with a pair of big black eyes. In his experience, if he didn't accept her now, she would probably punish him for copying books. In the past, he always felt that the county lord punished him for copying books in order to let him practice calligraphy. Ever since he found out that the county lord borrowed the reason for checking the characters, when he was reading the art of war, he understood her original intention.

Soldier books are boring, and she is not interesting to read alone. In this way, you can supervise his writing, and at the same time, you can read the military book patiently. One hard work gets two things, but the abacus in the county lord's stomach is fine.

Before he could answer, he saw that she began to look for trouble for him, and said in a light tone: "Keep copying books, I won't let you stop, you can't be lazy." ”

Mu Li was speechless, he always felt that the county lord was sometimes like a child. It's a bit capricious, but it's cute. Cute, no matter how cute the county lord is, what does it have to do with him, he is just a guard! Thinking about this, there was a little more sorrow in his heart, and his brows furrowed.

"What are you doing?" Nalan Jinxiu's eyes widened, but she couldn't help but break her skills, and said with a smile: "Mu Li, your courage is getting bigger and bigger, and you can't even listen to my words." ”

As soon as Mu Li saw her smile, his heart softened. She wasn't close to him, but he could see her when he looked down. The faint aroma wrapped in wisps of medicinal fragrance hit him, and he held his breath and didn't dare to move.

In the end, Mu Li continued to copy the military book, but the person who kept saying that he wanted to supervise his copying of the book fell asleep on the bookcase. She was very well-behaved when she slept, her long eyelashes were like a feather fan, and because she was lying on the bookcase, her cheeks were squeezed and deformed, and she looked fleshy and cute.

She always seemed a little lonely when she was awake. She has a fair complexion, doesn't like to wear makeup, and likes to wear plain clothes, always giving people a feeling of being as plain as ice and snow. The jade ornament on her forehead hung down, and Mu Li stretched out his hand to take care of it for her, hoping not to disturb her good dreams.

Nalan Jinxiu did have a dream, this dream was long and heavy, and she lived her life in a dream. In the dream, it was Zong Xuanyi's eyes, dark and bottomless, like a frozen three-foot lake, and like a sharp blade that would hurt people at any time.

Behind him was a thick night and a raging fire, and he said one by one: "Na, Lan, Jin, Xiu." ”

At this moment, Nalan Jinxiu didn't know whether it was fear or despair, she just wanted to escape. Whoever flees far away will never see these eyes again, nor will he see him again. She ran after him, it was dark in front of her, she couldn't find the direction, she could only subconsciously call the third brother......

"Third brother...... Third brother ......" she murmured, with a little crying.

Mu Li knew that she was dreaming, and wanted to wake her up, but felt that he shouldn't touch her. She is the lord of the county, he has to respect her, he has to protect her, but he can't offend her. He was hesitating, when suddenly she shouted miserably, "Don't push me!"

The voice was too poignant, like a sharp blade piercing into the heart, making Mu Li's heart hurt. He should have pretended not to hear anything, but his body reacted beyond reason, and before he came back to his senses, he hugged her tightly. There was a trace of hesitation, a trace of hesitation, and there was no hug.

Nalan Jinxiu slowly opened her eyes, because she had just woken up, her expression was a little dazed. Her misty eyes seemed to be unable to distinguish the direction, she put her forehead on his cheek and whispered, "Third brother......"

Mu Li was stunned, he had never been so close to her, to be exact, he had never been so close to a woman. His eyelashes were beautiful, long and thick, and slightly curled, and they were trembling violently at this time, indicating the uneasiness in his master's heart. His eyes wandered, he didn't dare to look at her at all, he put his arm around her but didn't let go.

Nalan Jinxiu finally woke up a little, her eyes gradually became focused, and she saw the young man holding her, with one eyebrow and one eye, gradually clear. This is...... She was startled, stretched out her hand to push him away, and stood up again. Because the range of movement was too large, she shook when she got up, and her waist hit the table.

Mu Li was startled when he saw her movements, afraid that she would hurt herself. He reached out to hold her, but when he saw her guarded eyes, he took it back in a daze. Poked there, silent.

Normally, as soon as he was like this, Nalan Jinxiu couldn't bear to blame. The people in her courtyard, no matter what mistakes she makes, as long as she looks like admitting punishment and admitting punishment, she can't do it. After all, punishment is only a means, and if that person already knows that he is wrong, why chase after it?

But she couldn't control it now, she felt that Mu Li was a little too much, so she accused: "You...... Mu Li, I see that you are upright, you are good, how can you do this? You are taking advantage of others' danger!"
