About half an hour later, Yun Yan and Mu Jingnan arrived at the top of the mountain.

Yunyan turned around, facing the cliff, looking at the mountains, the mountains and rivers are verdant, the clouds and mist are shrouded, there is a unique scenery, and it is no wonder that many people like to climb high. A cool breeze swept through, and she only felt the tiredness of her body dissipate.

"Tired? Let's go to my aunt's courtyard to rest first. Mu Jingnan turned his head to look at the woman beside him, and said softly, he raised his hand and wiped the sweat from her face with his sleeve, looking at her somewhat pale face, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but it was only for a moment.

Yun Yan turned his head and smiled at Mu Jingnan, "I'm not tired, but you, who have been pulling me, and you are tired." "When she was walking halfway up the mountain, J was tired, because she had been suffering from frequent attacks recently, so her body was getting weaker and weaker.

"How can you be tired?" Mu Jingnan said softly, "Pull your hand like this, pull it for a lifetime, I won't feel tired." ”

Does he want to say, hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son? The corners of Yun Yan's mouth were gently raised, looking at the soft color on his face, yes, it should be a beautiful thing to hold his hand like this, see all the mountains red, and walk through the mountains and rivers.

Yun Yan tilted her head, her expression flickered, she looked ahead, where a lonely grave stood, and she whispered, "I want to go and see my mother." ”

"Hmm." Mu Jingnan nodded and led her forward.

Looking at the lonely grave in front of her, there were almost no weeds on it, and there were faint traces of burning paper money in front of the grave, a trace of surprise flashed on Yun Yan's face, and she said in a deep voice: "Someone has been here before!" ”

Mu Jingnan nodded, glanced at the tombstone, and saw the traces of the paper money burned, it should have been not long ago.

"Look at me, my mother has no relatives except us, it should be Aunt Xue Ning who has come, it's hard for her to have a heart." Yun Yan smiled and said to Mu Jingnan.

Nodding, Mu Jingnan replied softly, "Hmm." But his gaze still fell on her face, as the smile faded.

After being silent for a long time, Yun Yan suddenly looked at Mu Jingnan and said, "You say, could it be him?" She laughed at herself, "How could it be him, I won't believe it's him, never!" Looking at the marks on the ground, she clenched her hands, never believing it was him.

"Don't overthink it." Mu Jingnan gently let go of her clenched hand and said softly, "If you want to know the answer, I will help you check it, if you don't want to know, then don't make yourself sad." ”

Shaking his head slightly, Yun Yan's eyes closed slightly, and he whispered, "Actually, I'm afraid." Do you know? I've always been afraid, afraid that I can't find a reason to hate it, so what's the point of my life. ”

"Yan'er!" Mu Jingnan let out a low sigh, and a certain string in his heart was plucked again, these days, he has been troubled by her problems, and now he has heard her such negative words again and again, he only feels that this heart is messy.

Mu Jingnan pulled Yun Yan's shoulders and said in a condensed voice: "Live, live for me, okay?" If there really is such a day, even if I use all means, I will not let you have any problems. ”

Hearing this, Yun Yan's expression was stunned, looking at his high emotions, her heart was even tighter, and after a while, she said with a smile: "With you, where am I willing to die." Let's meet my mother, she's been waiting for a long time. "I don't know why, I always feel that he's been a little weird lately, is she too careful?

Mu Jingnan's heart was relieved, and his originally tense emotions were also relaxed, he nodded and chuckled, "Obey Madame's orders." As he spoke, he knelt directly on the ground, Mu Jingnan knelt directly on the ground, looking at the short tombstone, he said solemnly: "Thank you!" As he spoke, he kowtowed directly to the tombstone.

After Mu Jingnan finished saluting and stood up, Yun Yan looked at him in surprise, "You thank you, where do you come from?" ”

"Naturally, Xie Niang once treated my mother sincerely." Mu Jingnan looked at Yun Yan and said seriously, "Does Yan Er think that I gave birth to you by Xie Niang, so that I can have the opportunity to marry you?" ”

Yun Yan opened her mouth and followed Mu Jingnan in amazement, she didn't expect him to say it so directly, she was secretly annoyed, she shouldn't talk too much. Looking at the sky, she diverted the topic, "It's a big day, I'm tired, let's go to my aunt's small courtyard to rest first." With that, she turned and hurried forward.

Is he a flood beast? Let her run away like this, Mu Jingnan laughed secretly, but, thinking of the things he checked these days, his eyes were slightly gloomy, and there should be results in a few days. Hopefully, it's a good outcome.

Corning Palace

Inside the main hall, an old woman in a purple palace dress sat on the phoenix couch, an old grandmother was waiting next to her, and below, a beautiful woman in a red palace dress stood there, her face full of anger.

"Auntie, you said that you can't be angry, obviously Yuan'er has made a great contribution, and the emperor even reprimanded him. The emperor is clearly aimed at Yuan'er, and in the long run, you said, how can our mother and son gain a foothold in the palace in the future. Gao Yueli said as she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looking like she was about to cry.

Glancing at Gao Yueli, Empress Dowager Gao's eyes were full of impatience, and she snorted coldly: "If you can't gain a foothold in the palace, you, the queen, should not be the queen as soon as possible." As for the emperor's reprimand, heh, I have to ask your good son, who ran to frame Linglong Pavilion in a good manner, and when he was honest, he naturally had to bear the consequences. Fortunately, the emperor only reprimanded him, and if he abolished his throne in anger, he would be to blame. ”

was seen by Empress Dowager Gao like this, Gao Yueli's face was full of disapproval, "Isn't it a Linglong Pavilion?" Can the emperor be angry with his son for the sake of a Linglong Pavilion? He was clearly thinking about that woman's son, aunt, are you really willing to let the glory of our Gao family end here? ”

"The glory of the Gao family?! The Gao family is gone, where does the glory come from! Empress Dowager Gao shouted angrily, "This is all thanks to your good son." ”

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Gao Yueli's face, her head slowly lowered, and she still said: "That thing was done wrong by Yuan'er, but it has happened, aunt, what we have to think about now is how to prevent Mu Jingnan from becoming the crown prince." ”

"Become a prince? It's up to him! Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Gao Yueli, looked ahead, and her expression sank, "Did you go to Dongliang Mountain again?" That's a really good place. ”

Gao Yueli raised her eyes and glanced at the Empress Dowager Gao, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a cold smile.

The sunset gradually set, next to the thatched house, two figures sat there, leaning on each other, Yun Yan's eyes were staring at the lush green vegetables growing in front of the door, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said unconsciously: "It would be good if I could live in such a place in the future, plant a vegetable field, raise a few sheep, and work at sunrise and sunset every day, how good." ”

Mu Jingnan hugged her and said with a smile: "Then we will come to live in this mountain in the future." ”

Leaning on his arms, listening to his soft voice, Yun Yan shook his head and chuckled, and quipped: "What kind of business, let the handsome and dashing Fourth Prince come to this mountain with me to suffer, I'm afraid that the spittle stars of those young ladies in Liangdu City will drown me." I'm just talking, you don't have to take it seriously. ”

"What I said is true, when the time comes, men and women weave, give birth to two children, and a family of four, it should be a very happy life." The corners of Mu Jingnan's lips rose slightly, and a hint of longing flashed in his eyes.

Child...... Yun Yan's eyebrows moved, her hands clenched unconsciously, and she was silent for a long time, she suddenly looked at Mu Jingnan, and said in a quiet voice: "Do you really like children so much?" ”

Mu Jingnan turned his head to look at the woman in his arms and replied softly, "Hmm." Then he asked, "Don't you like it?" There was a look of inquisition in her gaze, and every time she talked about it these days, she was a little unnatural. Don't like it?

The corners of Yun Yan's mouth twitched, and he smiled, "How come?" However, there is no need to rush to pass on the lineage. When she dies, he can marry another woman, and when the time comes, she will not see how many children she will have.

Succession? Mu Jingnan's eyebrows shrugged slightly, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his narrow Danfeng eyes, looking at the woman beside him, is this how she looks at him?

"I don't need anyone to help me carry everything I have." Mu Jingnan looked ahead and said coldly, she is smart, why don't you understand his thoughts, she doesn't want to have children, and he won't force her. Because he never wanted a child, he only wanted her.

Yun Yan glanced at Mu Jingnan in surprise, looking at his cold face, did she say something wrong? She seems to have upset him again, and lately, I don't know what's wrong, there are always some negative emotions in my mind.

"It's me who shouldn't have spoken out to you." Mu Jingnan suddenly kissed Yun Yan's forehead and said in a low voice. He turned his head to look at the woman in his arms, he seemed to lose his temper at her just now, and he didn't know what was wrong with him recently, as soon as he touched her, he couldn't control his emotions.

Yun Yan shook his head slightly, "It's me who is not good." "She can't give him any guarantees, she doesn't have that chance anymore.

Smiling slightly, Mu Jingnan diverted the topic and said: "The sun is about to go down, today, we won't go back, you are also hungry, I will clean up and cook for you." ”

Looking at Mu Jingnan's smile, Yun Yan's expression was slightly dark, and she said suspiciously: "Do you know how to cook?" As far as she knew, none of these princes and grandsons could cook, and he Mu Jingnan should be the best among them. A person who lingers in Flower Street and Willow Lane all the year round, and hides in the rivers and lakes, it is hard to imagine that he can go to the kitchen.

"Yan'er, do you doubt my cooking skills?" Mu Jingnan raised her eyebrows and looked at Yun Yan, her suspicious gaze was clearly saying that she didn't believe that he could cook!

Yun Yan shook his head and said with a dry smile: "How come." "Thinking of the first time she made soup for him, that soup really made her unforgettable for the rest of her life. So, he cooks...... I don't think it's going to be delicious.

"You just rest here, I'll go find some ingredients for our evening." Saying that, Mu Jingnan got up directly and walked towards the vegetable field, and his actions speak for themselves.

Looking at Mu Jingnan in the past, Yun Yan's heart relaxed, as if all the haze had dissipated, and he thought that there would be a quarrel just now. Looking at the cloud-white figure in the vegetable patch, she chuckled, it seems that today will be very good, although I don't know what the taste of that dish will be.
