"You're right, in the end, this palace can't get through it for so many years." Empress Xiao's tears fell out drop by drop, "This palace has been fasting and chanting Buddha for so many years, but I haven't realized the true meaning of peace of mind." ”

Ruyue didn't speak, Empress Xiao straightened up, holding Ruyue with her cold hand, Empress Xiao's palm had thick calluses, and her skin was a little rough: "It's just that Ruyue, even this deep palace woman also understands the consequences of sitting and eating mountains and empty mountains and extravagance, this palace just wants to save the saint and remind him to protect himself, is this palace wrong?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with the mother." Ruyue pulled the embroidered quilt up a little, for fear that Empress Xiao would catch a cold, "Maybe Niangniang doesn't understand the saint, the saint is not as dull as you think, the saint has a plan." ”

"Then her plan is still this palace?" There was a wry smile at the corner of Empress Xiao's mouth, "If there is no big trouble in this palace today, I am afraid that the saint will not be able to remember that there is still this person in this palace." ”

"Niangniang-" Ruyue finally understood, "I'm afraid that the whole purpose of Niangniang's move is just to remind the emperor to include herself in his own plan, right?" ”

Empress Xiao's face was already mottled and she couldn't see her makeup, she didn't answer Ruyue for a long time, and after a while, she said softly: "This palace just wants to follow the saint, he can have three palaces and four concubines, he can treat the palace as nothing, and he can do whatever he wants-but this palace-just want to follow the saint-"

"I just want to follow you, so let me follow, okay?" Ruyue was in a trance for a moment, looking at the desperate Empress Xiao in front of her, she closed her eyes tightly, and big tears slipped down, was Li Shimin as desperate as Empress Xiao that day? Did you really let him be wronged like this?

"Queen Mother, the medicine is here." Xuan'er's voice came not far away, and the maid behind her looked anxious: "The princess should let the slave come, the princess is the body of a daughter." ”

Xuan'er sat happily on the edge of the bed, picked up the porcelain bowl, and looked serious; "The imperial doctor said that this medicine is excellent to drink when it is hot, and the queen mother should be careful in the future." After speaking, he scooped up a spoonful, blew it gently, and put it on Xiao Hou's mouth.

Empress Xiao stretched out her hand and touched Xuan'er's face; "Good Xuan'er."

"Niangniang drink the medicine well and take care of her body." Ruyue carefully folded the quilt after Xiao, "How can you follow the person you want to follow if you are not in good health?" ”

"Who does the queen want to follow?" Xuan'er turned around and looked at Ruyue with her big eyes.

"Of course it's your father." Ruyue also sat next to Xuan'er.

"But my father is not good at all." Xuan'er pouted, "Xuan'er doesn't like her father." ”

"Xuan'er and the queen mother are different." Ruyue patiently explained, "If General Yuwen is not good, Xuan'er's children will not like him in the future, but Xuan'er will still like him very much and follow him all the time, right?" ”

Xuan'er couldn't stand the teasing, immediately blushed, and said shyly: "Well, Xuan'er understands, Xuan'er can dislike her father, but the queen mother will always like her father." ”

Empress Xiao couldn't help but smile when she saw Xuan'er like this: "The queen mother will take care of her body in the future, otherwise how can she take care of the queen mother's Xuan'er?" But the father is the person that the queen mother likes, and he is also Xuan'er's father, so let's try to like the father in the future, okay? ”

"Queen Mother~" Xuan'er handed the porcelain bowl to the maid, and lay in Queen Xiao's arms, "Xuan'er will be obedient in the future, and often accompany the queen mother, and the queen mother should get better soon~"

After instructing Cuizhu Haosheng to take care of Xiao, Ruyue returned to her dormitory, Donghua had already returned, and when she saw Ruyue, she immediately walked over: "I heard that the saint has lost his temper again today." Is the princess okay? ”

"It's okay, did Liu Zimo inquire about it?"

"I found out, it's on the first small boat behind our big ship." Donghua said, "It is said that the dancing girls of the boat are as beautiful as flowers, and the saint said that he would wait until he arrived in Luoyang, and then ordered to dance when he invited the ministers. ”

"I'm tired today, let's go see her tomorrow." After that, the Buddha remembered something, "Winter Flower, on the day of chasing the thief, how did the people know my location?" ”

"The second son happened to meet the slave maid, the slave and the maid pointed out, and the second son said that he would take his men down to find it."

"Subordinates?"

"How?" Donghua looked at Ruyue with some confusion, "The second prince said that it happened that some of his subordinates were nearby-"

"Alright. I got it. Ruyue didn't continue the topic, and said a little absent-mindedly, "I won't be out of the boat these days." The main palace is going to rest, so you can go down first. ”

"Yes." Winter Flower saluted and went down.

Qin Shubao found that Mu Qingyang was not quite right recently, he either drank or danced with a sword on weekdays, he didn't have a word of superfluousness, he slept very little, and he played the flute all night at night.

He received a letter from Xu Maogong, and he has been following the big ship without moving, but there has been no news of Samago. He was restless, and in his dreams he was Samargo's tearful face.

Li Shimin has not seen the moon in the past few days, he himself is bored walking on the street, everything can not attract his attention, and unconsciously walked into the wilderness.

He saw that it was getting late, and he was worried that Ruyue Mo was not being bullied on the big ship, so he made up his mind to mix in the big ship according to the amount.

He stopped, turned around, and was about to go in the opposite direction.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a young back, the man stood in front of him by the moonlight, holding a sword in his left hand and a flute in his right hand, his hair flying.

Li Shimin couldn't see his face, but his heart was half cold: "Brother-"

A lonely moon hung high in the sky, the howl of a wolf could be heard in the distance, and a faint smoke rose around it.

Li Shimin just let out a low scream, a cold light flashed between them, Li Shimin couldn't dodge, the person with the sword was almost deadly, and he was powerless.

He could only dodge in embarrassment, his arm had already been scratched by Mu Qingyang's sword, and a trace of blood oozed out.

"You're either going to kill me today, or you're going to tell me why you have to meet every time you meet!" As if having made up his mind, Li Shimin stood in place, did not dodge or fight back, and put it on the next bet, "We are brothers, why do we want to be like this?" ”

Mu Qingyang's sword stabbed into Li Shimin's chest mercilessly, and there were blood stains that stained Li Shimin's robe, so Mu Qingyang didn't use much strength, he drew his sword coldly, turned around and was about to leave.

Who knew that Li Shimin was holding his sword with his backhand, and the sharp blade pierced his palm mercilessly, and there was blood drop by drop that I smacked on the ground.

"Is it for Ruyue?" Li Shimin spoke, "For Ruyue, you are willing to ignore me to stay in the cannibalistic palace, for Ruyue, you gave her a legend of "the one who wins the world", you gave her a Jiangshan surnamed Yang, for Ruyue, you don't allow me to approach her, you are afraid that I will hurt her, so is this sword for Ruyue again, you-"

"Shut up!" Mu Qingyang's eyes were bloodshot and the smell of wine all over his body.

"You hate me, why did you take advantage of the loophole and stay by her side when you were absent, in fact, you hate yourself, but why didn't you go in front of her and guard her?"

"I told you to shut up!" Mu Qingyang quickly withdrew the sword from Li Shimin's hand, Li Shimin was already full of blood, he turned around, pressed Li Shimin against the wall, and pinched Li Shimin's neck fiercely.

"Did I say yes? Annoyed and angry? Right? Li Shimin did not resist, but looked at Mu Qingyang without fear. Blood slowly oozed from the corners of his mouth, dripping on Mu Qingyang's arm, "You still refuse to see her, but you are envious, you are unwilling, you are afraid that I will be by her side, so you ran here today, full of alcohol, and stabbed me with a sword——"

"You-" Mu Qingyang's body was full of anger, as if he was about to explode at any time.

"Brother." Li Shimin shook off Mu Qingyang's hand, "Don't use your feelings for Ruyue as an excuse to hurt Ruyue, I can accept your fair challenge, but if you still don't show up, I will definitely keep silent, but I will always accompany her and protect her." Li Shimin paused and continued to speak, "Since the world you gave her made her so miserable, then I will build my country to protect her." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Mu Qingyang, covered his wounds, and left mercilessly.

Leaving Mu Qingyang alone, he simply threw away his sword, leaned on the trunk of the tree, sat down alone, looking at a round of solitary moon, he remembered that every time before the expedition, Ruyue was smiling and grinning, without a trace of nostalgia: "Qingyang, do you see that there is only one moon in the sky?" She asked herself, pointing to the moon.

Rightfully shook his head.

Ruyue took her hand in the palace without any scruples: "That's because Qingyang is also a person on the expedition, so the moon is also alone, so the two of you are one person and can be companions~"

"What if I go back to the palace?"

"Then naturally it is like the moon accompanying Qingyang!" She smiled with a sly face, and said confidently, "You see that the moon in the palace has never been round, and it knows how to avoid suspicion, and hides half of itself, because it knows too much that it likes Ruyue the most, and it can't grab it." ”

The more Mu Qingyang thought about it, the more sad he became, he suddenly found that he had been away for so long, and he had never thought that he would go away overnight, and what kind of inability and pain the girl who was used to relying on herself would go on - "Qingyang! There seemed to be a girl's crisp cry all around, he suddenly opened his eyes, only a lonely tree accompanied him, he never thought that there was a day like the moon was not his own, should he really be so sure that the moon was his own? Even his own confusion, every tree around him seemed to be transformed into the appearance of Ruyue when he was thirteen years old, and he ran to his side unscrupulously and stuffed a delicious pastry in his mouth, he was probably drunk, Mu Qingyang finally leaned on the tree and fell asleep-
