By the lake, Mu Jingnan carried it with one hand, looking at the sparkling sleep on the lake, the dark light in his deep eyes, listening to the gradually approaching footsteps behind, he pursed his thin lips and did not speak.

Looking at the man in the pale cyan brocade robe in front of him, Mu Yangtian's expression couldn't help but darken, he vaguely remembered that year, the little boy whose size had only reached his waist, when did he grow into a man who was taller and taller than him, and could be on his own?

And most importantly, he is no longer the little boy who will be wronged and cry in his arms, he is getting farther and farther away from him.

Mu Yangtian's handsome face became more and more gloomy, his eyes were slightly closed, and he whispered: "Could it be that you really refuse to call me my father again?" ”

The wind blew slowly, and the words seemed to be blown away in the air, and there was silence for a long time.

Mu Yangtian smiled bitterly, sure enough, he still refused to forgive him, even if he knew the truth of what happened back then, but it was wrong, it was wrong after all, he was still a murderer in his eyes.

Suddenly, an ethereal voice came from the wind, and the tone was flat, "What can a title represent?" ”

Doesn't it mean anything? Maybe it seems to outsiders that he is a beautiful child, but who can understand the pain in his heart for countless nights. Mu Yangtian raised his head and looked at the man in the pale cyan brocade robe in front of him, and was about to speak, just at this time, he also turned around to look at him, but the narrow Danfeng's eyes were full of coldness, and with just one glance, he turned his head and looked away, as if he looked at the person in front of him more, and his eyes were dirty.

Mu Yangtian took a step forward, put his hands behind his back, looked at the scenery on the lake, and sighed and said: "I am just an ordinary father, and I also hope that my children will be around my knees, and my father will be kind and filial." But he didn't have any of that. At least, not in his heart.

"Children? Heh......" Mu Jingnan didn't look at the person next to him, the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile, he looked ahead sharply, and his handsome face was full of coldness, "Aren't your children all by your side?" As for the filial piety of the father and the son, the four princes are respectful to you, haven't you already got what you want? ”

Looking at Mu Jingnan, looking at his sharp eyes, and looking at his cold face, Mu Yangtian's eyes instantly dimmed, and he said in a low voice: "You know in your heart who the person I am referring to." ”

Mu Jingnan said mockingly: "Clear? Who knows the mind of the Son of Heaven? He turned his head to look at Mu Yangtian and said coldly, "I also thought that I knew very well, and the concubine probably felt the same way, but in the end, we were all wrong." ”

"You still won't forgive me? The matter of your mother is not my original intention, you should know it in your heart. Mu Yangtian raised his voice and said, a trace of pain flashed on his face, "That year, I killed the woman I love the most and abandoned my favorite son, do you think my heart doesn't hurt?" ”

Heartache? The corners of Mu Jingnan's mouth were slightly raised, looking at his painful appearance, he suddenly felt funny, he still remembered that night, he rushed to the imperial garden and saw the scene: the mother concubine was lying on the ground, a sword was deeply pierced in the heart, and the blood was overflowing like flowing water, and his so-called father looked at her with a resentful face, questioned her, and didn't care about her life or death at all. What he was anxious to ask for was whether she had betrayed him or not, and whether the son she gave birth to was a wild seed in the mouth of the Queen Mother.

He raised his eyes and looked ahead, and said coldly: "That night, what your real heartache was, you know better than anyone else. ”

Mu Yangtian was stunned, his eyes were slightly closed, and his face became more and more gloomy, "I thought at the time, I thought it was ......" But when it came to this, he didn't know how to continue, this was the most wrong thing he had done in his life, and it was also the most regrettable thing. The woman explained everything a moment before he lost his breath, and he realized that he was wrong, that he had misunderstood her, but that he had lost her forever.

Seeing that Mu Yangtian was silent, the ridicule on Mu Jingnan's face became worse, and he sneered and said, "I think my mother concubine fornicated with outsiders and gave birth to me secretly?" You know, I'd really rather I be a mother and someone else's child? He looked at the person beside him with awe-inspiring eyes, the words were sonorous and powerful, but these words hit Mu Yangtian's heart like a hammer.

Mu Yangtian's body trembled slightly, and he unconsciously took a few steps back, he looked at Mu Jingnan in a daze, he actually hoped that he was not his child, hehe...... It was ironic, and he only felt a fishy sweet taste welling up in his throat.

"You killed your uncle, you killed your mother, you ruined your mother's happiness, you ruined your aunt's happiness, and almost ruined my life, heh, but today, maybe, I still have to thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today, so the emperor doesn't have to feel guilty, and there is nothing to talk about between you and me." Mu Jingnan glanced at Mu Yangtian with a cold gaze, turned around, and walked directly forward.

Looking at the departing figure, Mu Yangtian's heart was anxious, and he said in a loud voice: "What do you want me to do, what do you want me to do before you are willing to forgive me?" Xu was so emotional that he only felt a cramping pain in his heart, and he raised his hand to touch his heart directly.

"You don't have to do anything, because what I want, I never have to do it with a fake hand. Still, I've noticed something very interesting lately, and I'm eager to see what your expression would be like if you knew the truth. Of course, I hope that you will continue to treat me like a wild seed, otherwise I will not get used to it. As he spoke, the pale cyan figure never stopped and left directly.

Listening to his last words, Mu Yangtian's handsome face turned pale, he stared at the figure that was gone resolutely, his hand at the mouth of his heart suddenly increased his strength, "cough cough ......" coughed suddenly, and then "po......of", a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Princess Palace

After Concubine Rou sent Yun Yan over, she didn't enter the princess's palace and left.

In the hall, Yun Yan sat at the table, drinking tea, and his eyes fell on Mu Zhaoyang on the side.

Next to him, Mu Zhaoyang held the teacup crampedly, lowered his head, and seemed to dare not look at Yun Yan's eyes.

"Have you really decided?" Yun Yan put down the teacup, looked at Mu Zhaoyang and said.

Mu Zhaoyang's expression froze, his hand shook, and the water in the teacup splashed out. She hurriedly wiped her hands with her sleeve, looked up at Yun Yan beside her, remembered what happened that night, her head lowered again, she said something like that to her that day, she thought she wouldn't want to see her again.

"Don't worry, I will respect your choice." Yun Yan only thought that she was afraid of her thoughts, and couldn't help but say with a smile.

Hearing this, Mu Zhaoyang was stunned, frowned slightly, bit his lip and whispered: "My father has already negotiated the marriage date for Emperor Nanyao." ”

"Do you believe me?" Yun Yan stared at Mu Zhaoyang and said.

Shocked, Mu Zhaoyang looked at Yun Yan in amazement, looked at her serious expression, and nodded unconsciously.

Yun Yan's eyebrows sank, and he said in a condensed voice: "If you are not willing to marry him, I will naturally find a way to cancel your marriage." ”

Mu Zhaoyang was stunned again, did she care about her so much? But...... She unconsciously lowered her head again and whispered, "How could I not want to marry him?" If you marry him, you will be the queen, and you can escape from this palace. ”

Is it? Yun Yan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mu Zhaoyang's gloomy expression, and said in a harmonious voice: "You think about it again, if you have an idea, come to the Six Princes' Mansion to tell me." With that, she stood up, "Your sixth brother is still waiting for me, I'll go first." With that, he turned around and prepared to go outside.

Seeing that Yun Yan was leaving, Mu Zhaoyang also stood up, she opened her mouth, her little face was full of hesitation, and finally said: "You disappeared that night, and the sixth brother was very worried about you." ”

"I know." Yun Yan said. ”

"You don't know!" Mu Zhaoyang suddenly said loudly, she gritted her teeth, "Sixth Brother doesn't care about anything that happens in front of people, but that night, he was like a leopard on the verge of madness, full of anger, as if he had just come back from hell. He tried his best to maintain the last of his lucidity, just to find the root of the madness that drove him crazy. And you, that root. ”

Yun Yan was shallow, "I know. She wasn't wood, so she didn't feel anything, but that's what scared her the most.

Is it? You know? Mu Zhaoyang smiled and stopped talking.

Yun Yan turned his head, looked at Mu Zhaoyang and sighed and said, "Your mother also came here with me just now, but she left without coming in." She loves you very much, you should understand that the women in the deep palace are lonely, and in those long years, the person who was by her side and gave her all the comfort was you. Your distant marriage is not intended to be a stab in her heart, and no matter what decision you make, you must remember that she is the one who loves you the most. With that, she turned around and went straight out of the temple gate.

Looking at the departing figure, Mu Zhaoyang's expression became more and more gloomy, yes, she was very willful, hurt her mother and hurt herself, but what could she do? She is like this now, staying in this palace, watching her with the sixth brother, she always feels a little awkward, and she feels awkward in her heart. She had no other way but to marry far away.

Out of the princess hall, Yun Yan raised her eyes and saw a man in a pale cyan brocade robe walking in her direction, she smiled slightly, even in this summer with strong sunlight, his breath was not chaotic at all. Under this daylight, his body was also covered with a thin layer of brilliance, but today, there was a hint of solemnity between his eyebrows.

Yun Yan greeted him directly, walked up to him, took his hand directly, and said with a smile: "Let's go home." ”

Go home...... Every time he heard her say this, he would feel inexplicably relieved, looking at the shallow smile on her face, the haze in Mu Jingnan's heart also dissipated, and a soft color appeared on Junyi's face, "Okay." He shook her hand back, and the two of them walked straight forward.

Out of the palace, the two of them got into the carriage and went back to the Six Princes' Mansion, along the way, both of them were silent, although Yun Yan wanted to ask him how he chatted with Mu Yangtian, but when she remembered his cold and hard face when she saw him just now, she sighed in her heart, I am afraid that she is not very optimistic.

"What are you thinking?" The person next to her suddenly turned his head and looked at her and said.

Yun Yan came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's nothing. She knew that he wouldn't want to mention something related to Mu Yangtian, but as soon as the words came out, she regretted it, because there was one more thing she didn't ask him.

"Really nothing?" Mu Jingnan raised his eyebrows, looked at Yun Yan's annoyed appearance, and couldn't help laughing, "Aren't you curious, what happened after I went to find Empress Dowager Gao yesterday?" ”
