"Wechen does his best." Although Zhang Xuan agreed, he still did not forget to add that the method of combining men and women is the only effective method at present, and Mu Chen naturally understands that he is hinting that it is unlikely that there will be other methods.

Before retiring, Zhang Xuan repeatedly reminded that the time to suppress the toxin was only three days, and it was not easy to bring out the death row prisoners, so it must be arranged as soon as possible.

Three days, it is indeed not much, and it is already the next day for Su Wuxian to wake up.

Zhang Xuan's pill seemed to be quite useful, and Su Wuxian woke up like a normal person, not at all like a poisoned person.

Regarding last night's incident, Mu Chen only told him that An Ning committed suicide after the plot, and did not say that the silver needle was poisonous. Later, when Ren Shaotian asked, she also explained the past.

"She's still young, so it's a shame to go like this." For An Ning's death, Su Wuxian felt sorry, he didn't worry about himself at all, this plot still had troubles, thinking that Zhang Xuan would be fine if he pulled out the silver needle, "Since I'm fine now, it's time to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"No, don't." Mu Chen wants to keep him, "Since they are all here, why don't you stay here with me for a few days?" ”

"The rumors have just passed, your choice of concubine is imminent, it is better for me to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to live." Seeing her sullen appearance, he coaxed again, "Shall I come as often as possible during the day?" ”

"It's not good, Imperial Doctor Zhang said, although the silver needle has been removed, it is necessary to take medicine to recuperate, and you can't walk around during this time." She caught a seemingly good reason and succeeded in keeping him.

But time passed, and the deadline was approaching, and she never knew how to talk about the poisonous thing.

The two played against each other in front of the chessboard, and Mu Chen pretended to be casual and asked, "Innocent, what if...... I mean, if one day you suddenly have a strange poison in your body, and you need a man and a woman to detoxify it, would you be willing? ”

Su Wuxian replied calmly, and the movements of the falling son in his hand did not pause: "I have you, don't I?" ”

Yes, there is her......

Mu Chen was a little stunned, his hand couldn't help shaking, and then he continued to ask: "If the situation is critical, what if I am not by your side?" ”

He smiled softly: "Have you forgotten that I promised you?" Even if I die, I won't touch any other woman. ”

Even if you die......

One lost his mind, and the chess pieces in his hand "snapped", and fell unsteadily on the chess game, scattering all the chess pieces on the chessboard.

"And what if I push the other women onto your bed?" Her words have no confidence, and after saying them, she even spits on herself.

The voice was very small, but it was listened to by Su Wuxian.

Su Wuxian only took it as a joke: "Are you willing to do it?" ”

He thought about it for a while, and said solemnly: "Even if you are willing, I will not." Last time you asked me and An Ning if anything like that had happened, in fact, after I woke up, I was very glad that it didn't happen, otherwise the rest of my life would be worse than death. ”

Life is better than death......

If it was peace, he still felt that life was worse than death, and if it was a woman he didn't know, what kind of pain should he have?

Seeing that she was silent and seemed to be thoughtful, he asked rhetorically: "If it were you, would you be willing to accept another man?" ”

She was stunned, if it was her, would she be willing?

Thinking back to the time when she was in the ghost town, she was insulted and bullied by Long Aotian that time, almost that kind of thing happened, and she almost bit her tongue and committed suicide, but fortunately, at the last moment, she was saved by the second prince Zixi, who was Yao at the time, and her innocence was preserved, otherwise she would have died in Huangquan.

There was also that time, when I thought that Su Wuxian would never return to her in the Qinglong Kingdom, and almost had something happen to the second prince Zixi, if it really happened, I am afraid that I will not be able to face Su Wuxian calmly in the future, even if I love it again, it will be a feeling full of regret and no longer a simple feeling, even if I live, this kind of thing will become a thorn that cannot be pulled out for the rest of my life.

It is an act that cannot be self-excusable, even if it is not voluntary.

Yes, so, if it were her, she wouldn't be willing to die even if she died.

Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

She shook her head lightly and replied meaningfully, "No." ”

Thinking of the second prince Zixi, she felt guilty, and it seemed that all the qiē he did was for her, but she couldn't respond.

On this day, she went to Yanxi Palace to find him, and for some reason, she just wanted to see him.

"Hee, thank you." This thank you contains a lot.

The second prince didn't care about the thank you, he just cared about the title: "You just called me...... What the? ”

How many years has he not heard his Chen'er call himself like this, four years, no, he almost forgot it, it has been five years.

"Hee." In fact, it is not difficult to say this, and it is natural to call his younger brother by his name, but the second prince is easy to satisfy, since he likes it, why shouldn't she do it?

Time seems to have returned to five years ago, the simple little boy who has not grown up, returned to his face, that immature face, with a pair of big bright eyes, like full of stars in the sky, pink mouth, with a little shy smile to call his name, at that time he thought, if he was a girl, gradually, I don't know why his bottom line is getting lower and lower, it doesn't matter if he is a boy.

At that time, they were still at the age of hazy feelings, they didn't know that it was love at first, but when they knew it, they loved blindly, and they were devotion to love, and for this love, he burst out with potential that did not match this age, and did a lot of things that did not match this age.

However, she didn't know why, her personality became more and more depressed, and she seemed to have a lot of troubles.

He decided to take her out of the palace, but in the end she didn't show up where they met.

In the next four years, they were obviously in the same palace, but they seemed to be separated by 108,000 miles, and they never saw each other. She trapped herself in the East Palace, and he was restricted from his freedom by his mother. He secretly wanted to go to the East Palace to find her, but found that there were many ambushes inside and outside the East Palace, and he was not enough to break in alone at that time. Now that I think about it, it is probably all Zhang Xuan's protection in order to prevent her identity from being exposed.

A year ago, she suddenly reappeared in front of him cheerfully, more confident, brighter, and more fascinated by him than before.

But at the same time, she also seems to have forgotten him, and she also forgot the feelings she once had.

He thought, it didn't matter if she forgot about it, he could make her fall in love with him again. But love is not something you can get with all your hard work, love also needs fate.

Now, she is in front of her, also calling the name she is most familiar with, but the feelings contained in her are not the same as before.

He vaguely felt that his bottom line had been lowered again.

As long as she's happy, even if the people around her aren't herself.

He smiled at her shallowly, and there was still that deep love in his phoenix eyes: "What do you thank me?" ”

Mu Chen thought for a while, and then replied: "Thank you for telling me early, Concubine Hua Niangniang discovered the secret of my gender." ”

"Don't take such a small matter to heart."

"Actually......" Mu Chen paused, and then continued, "Actually, you should listen to Concubine Hua." ”

"What do you mean?" The second prince looked at her with an uncertain expression, as if he understood or not.

"You are a capable and ambitious person, only because of me, you will deliberately bury yourself, in fact, to inherit the throne of the emperor, you are much more suitable than me."

"Chen'er, why do you suddenly have such thoughts? You know, I don't covet the throne, and when you ascend the throne as emperor in the future, I will also help you, and you don't need to give up the throne to me. He didn't understand, the current situation was good, although the matter of the concubine was not easy to solve, but it was not difficult to hide from the world, why Mu Chen suddenly had the idea of retreating.

There were some things he didn't understand, and she didn't know how to explain them, so she had to finish saying first: "If I can't inherit the throne in the future, I hope you can take care of your father's country, but I also hope that you can promise me a little bit, no matter what kind of relationship you have with Hua Qianchuan, you can't let him do whatever he wants." ”

"Chen'er, what's wrong with you today?" He vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say what it was, and he always felt that there was something unusual in it.

"I just want to, or I can go to live with Wuxian in a place where no one knows, so I don't have to worry about the secret being revealed, and I don't have to worry about taking a concubine." This reason is very sufficient, and it has successfully convinced the second prince Zixi.

He murmured bitterly, "Do you remember? Five years ago, you also told me that you wanted to leave the palace life, but the object at that time was me, but now it is someone else. ”

"I'm sorry." Mu Chen, who used to hate these three words, now he doesn't know what to say to the infatuated man in front of him in addition to these three words.

"I don't want you to leave, my father also needs you, this country needs you, but if you really insist on doing so, I will also bless you." The second prince thought for a moment, but still mentioned those insignificant things, "Do you know? I am not the son of my father, so only you are qualified to inherit my father's throne and take charge of this country. Now you can inherit as a man, which is the best outcome. ”

Emperor Yonghe did not have many brothers, when he was still the prince, those brothers died because of the battle for succession, and when he succeeded in becoming emperor, there was no half of the brothers alive.

Because of this, he was particularly concerned about the matter of his heirs, and decided the choice of the crown prince as early as possible to avoid fratricidal brothers in the future.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven, his few two sons, one is a woman, and the other is not biological, if he really wants to choose an heir, in the absence of a son, he should also choose the eldest princess, so that person should also be Mu Chen. Since both men and women are counted on her head and can succeed to the throne as a man, it will avoid a lot of social controversy, and it can also prevent some people who are already intent on causing trouble from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

And what the second prince said is exactly what he means. Whether it was for business or private reasons, he didn't want Mu Chen to leave.
