Mu Lingtian looked at the girl in front of him with lowered eyes, and could clearly feel her uneasy heartbeat.

He hesitated, then finally reached out and gently grabbed her soft shoulders and let her lean into his arms.

Cheng Tiantian trembled slightly, but did not move. His embrace was really warm, and she didn't want to break free.

Neither of them spoke anymore, and sat quietly.

He hugged her softly, and she, meekly nestled in his arms, felt so blissful and seren.

After a long time, Mu Lingcai said in a low voice: "Actually...... I've always had a crush on you, and when I see you, I feel so happy. ”

Cheng Tiantian didn't speak, but her heart skipped a heavy beat.

Is he a confession to her?

It's not that I love you, or that I can't live without you, just like that, I've always had a good impression of you...... But at this moment, Cheng Tiantian sounded better than a thousand and ten thousand warm love words, and it could touch her heart more than anything else.

"Sweet." Mu Lingtian called her again, his voice as soft as the amorous moonlight on this spring night.

"Huh?" Cheng Tiantian replied softly.

"I want to tell you that I really don't want to be separated from you." Mu Lingtian said softly.

"Then we won't be separated, just like that, never apart......" Cheng Tiantian said in a low voice.

Mu Lingtian sighed slightly, hugged her tightly, and his tone suddenly became very difficult: "But, we ...... It can't be like this all the time. Your injuries have healed, but you still have to go back to the capital. My father has also written several times, urging me to go back, and I just want to tell you today that I am going to leave tomorrow. ”

Cheng Tiantian was stunned, raised his head from his arms, and asked suspiciously, "Leave tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, Tiantian, it can't be delayed any longer." Mu Lingtian looked at her seriously, with a hint of helplessness and sentimentality in his tone: "I will take you back together, when I get to the capital, I will go back to the palace, and you will still go back to the Jingwang Mansion, okay?" ”

"Why did you let me go back to the palace? You know I don't want to go back there. Cheng Tiantian was shocked and said excitedly: "Great Prince, if I go back to the capital, I just want to go back to my home, I can't let Mu Lingxuan see me." ”

"However, you can't avoid King Jing forever, no matter what, he is your husband." Mu Lingtian said faintly, and at the same time turned his gaze, avoiding Cheng Tiantian's fierce gaze.

Cheng Tiantian was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "Yes, I should go back and solve all this with him thoroughly." ”

Mu Lingtian looked at the night sky shining with stars in the distance and was silent.

Cheng Tiantian said again: "It's really not a matter to hide like this, I'll talk to him clearly when I go back this time, and everyone will get together and disperse." ”

"Tiantian, you know what?" Mu Lingtian finally turned his gaze to Cheng Tiantian's face again, paused, and said with difficulty: "Actually, I want you to stay by his side well. ”

"You...... What does that mean? Cheng Tiantian was completely stunned, looking at the handsome and unpredictable face in the moonlight in disbelief: "You don't like me? Don't want to be with me? ”

"It's not! Of course I like you and want to be with you. Mu Lingtian hurriedly hugged her and explained eagerly: "Tiantian, you have to believe me." I've never had my heart set on a girl, you're the first and only one. ”

"Then why did you let me go back to him again?" Since this is the case, Cheng Tiantian can't understand it at all.

"I have a hard time." Mu Lingtian spit out four words in a low voice, and said slowly: "I asked you to return to him only temporarily, I will bring you back sooner or later." ”

"I don't understand ......" Cheng Tiantian could only utter such a weak three words.

"There is a war between me and him." Mu Lingtian held her shoulders and looked directly into her eyes, as if he had made up his mind: "We have always been competing, whoever wins will be the future supreme master of the Yu Kingdom." You know, I am the son of my father, I can't lose to him, and I am not willing to lose to him. So, I'm going to win. ”

Cheng Tiantian looked at him steadily, feeling more and more dazed and confused in his heart. What she wants is just pure love, why is it involved with these?

Mu Lingtian let go of her, and his gaze drifted into the distance again: "I was born in the same year as King Jing, but in my memory, my father has always preferred him more. I was sent out of the capital since I was a child, but he stayed with my father, enjoyed the glory of the scenery, and entrusted him with all the important things. Many people are surprised that my father has not established a crown prince for a long time, but I know in my heart that my father wants to leave him the same opportunity. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Lingtian paused, still not looking at her: "Sure enough, when I turned eighteen, I returned to the capital. One day, my father called me and King Jing together and solemnly told us that Ling Lan was too young and his personality was too simple to be the monarch of a country. And over the years, I have been in the field, King Jing has worked hard for him, and he feels that both of us have the ability and ability to dominate the country. Therefore, he will not simply pass the throne to one of his sons like the emperors of previous generations. Rather, he will test the two of us separately in each of these ways, to see who is more competent, and choose one of us to be his heir. ”

"But what does this have to do with me?" Cheng Tiantian asked confusedly, feeling empty like never before.

"Tiantian, you listen to me." Mu Lingtian finally lowered his head and glanced at her, and continued to say in a deep voice: "The last time I went back, my father and the emperor found the two of us again, saying that King Jing and I are both over twenty, and his test for the two of us will officially begin for a period of one year. During this year, he will gradually fade out of state affairs, hand over government affairs to me and King Jing to deal with together, and let us each come up with our own views and opinions on each matter, and each of us will come up with a set of innovative plans for governing the country and rejuvenating the country. Who is strong and who is weak, in a year's time, it is enough to be able to see. ”

"At that time, King Jing told his father that he couldn't do it for the time being, he wanted to find you first. And I also wanted to bring you here to heal at that time, so I found some reason to go back to Ethereal Mountain first. My father was very unhappy to see that neither of us had any intentions, but he still postponed the time for a few months, and set it for the beginning of spring this year, and then let us return to the court to govern together. Now, it's the deadline......" Mu Lingtian stopped, he sighed, and looked at Cheng Tiantian deeply: "Tiantian, do you understand?" I must rush back, or I will give him the throne. ”

"The throne, to you...... Is it that important? After being silent for a long time, Cheng Tiantian asked faintly.

"Tiantian, why can't you understand me?" Mu Lingtian said excitedly, his face lost his usual calmness: "I am the eldest son of the royal family, this world should be mine, and it is only natural for me to inherit the throne." Why should you give it to him? ”

"A country with a good mechanism should have hired people on the basis of merit, and those who are capable should be promoted to the mediocre. I think the emperor is very open-minded, and it is quite wise to do so. Cheng Tiantian said softly.

"Tiantian, don't you want to help me?" Mu Lingtian held Cheng Tiantian's hand, his eyes flickering.

"How can I help you? How can I help you? Cheng Tiantian couldn't help but lower her eyes, and her heart was so stuffy that it seemed to be blocked with a heavy stone.

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Mu Lingtian was still holding her hand tightly, with a solemn and serious expression: "Listen to me, Tiantian, even if you do me a favor." Go back to him first, and give me the information about what he's doing and how he's going to do it, and I'll know everything about him. In this way, it was easy for me to win him and knock him down. ”

"You asked me to be a spy?" Cheng Tiantian pushed his hand away violently, with a fierce expression: "No!" No way! You two play fair, how can I do that? Besides, he doesn't trust me either, and when I go back, he won't give me any chance to touch his important things except punish me! ”

"No, he loves you!" Mu Lingtian grabbed her hand again, and said clearly and decisively: "I have never broken off contact with the palace, he has never given up looking for you, and in order to find you, he has even done a lot of incredible things. I'm sure he really loves you and he'll be ecstatic as long as you go back. ”

"What did you say?" Cheng Tiantian looked at Mu Lingtian with wide eyes, as if he had heard a myth in the Arabian Nights.

He said that Mu Lingxuan loved her? Is this possible?

"I said he really loves you! When you go back, as long as you are a little softer, he will not care about you in anything, nor will he guard against you, and you gain his trust, it is a matter of day and night. Mu Lingtian said more specifically.

"So, what about you?" Cheng Tiantian continued to look at him without blinking, and her heart sank little by little: "Do you really love me?" You're just going to let me go back to him for this? What would he do to me? Have you thought about it for me? ”

"Sweet ......" Mu Lingtian looked at her quietly, and there was a deep pain in his eyes: "I am also reluctant to let you go to him, but I have no choice, I have to get back what I deserve." You know, if I fight him like this, it's going to be hard for me to win against him. ”

"Then you'd rather sacrifice me?" A bleak smile appeared on Cheng Tiantian's lips, and that smile looked particularly desolate in the moonlight.

Although it was spring, why did she feel so cold? It's colder than when it's snowing.

"Forgive me, Tiantian." Mu Lingtian hugged her tightly with his arms and said in a low voice, "This is not a sacrifice, I said it is only temporary. When I defeat him, I will marry you back with dignity, and you will still be my favorite sweetness. ”
