Chapter Seventy-Two: Confession in the Dead of Night
"Who?" Ling Shuang stepped in front of Mu Yu and blocked the comer.
"Is that you?" Mu Yu stared at the person in front of him with wide eyes.
"Sure enough, it's you!" There was an unexpected surprise and an expected heaviness in his voice.
Only then did Ling Shuang see that there was a bewitching-looking man in front of him, and it seemed that he and the young lady seemed to know each other, but when he came to visit late at night, he was so sneaky, so it was better for him to guard against it. Thinking like this, she still stood in front of the herd without giving an inch, staring at the person in front of her for a moment.
"Huh! The dustless boy sneaked into the Hou Mansion at this time, wasn't he chased by a girl who had nowhere to hide? The pastoral rumor came back to his senses, and first did not forget to tease him.
"Why are you pretending to be Lin Wanyan, just to marry him?" Ruyu's face was no longer the usual grin, replaced by a sad and unwilling that the pastoral rumor couldn't understand, such a dustless was unfamiliar.
Mu Yu was signaling Ling Shuang to retreat, and a question came from the door: "Miss, are you okay?" ”
"Nothing, what's just going on outside?" Since the afternoon, Mu Yu has felt that there are many strange atmospheres around this small courtyard, although I don't know whose people and horses it is, but I feel that they are here to protect her, but I don't know when I became so important.
"Miss is fine, I just caught a thief who climbed over the wall, and now it's fine!"
"It's okay, you guys go down, I'm going to rest!"
"Yes!"
After the people outside left, Mu Yu raised his eyes and looked at Wuchen: "The one who was arrested was your companion?" ”
"It's not! I saw him hiding in the shadows and shrunken his head, so I used him to distract the guards. ”
"No wonder you slipped in so smoothly!" The corners of Mu Yu's mouth hooked up with a smile.
"You haven't answered me why?" He really wasn't interested in chatting with her tonight, and when he heard that Lin Wanyan, who had been in the limelight recently, might be her, his heart was confused, and he finally waited until it was dark to confirm it, but he didn't want this yard to be so tightly controlled.
"What, why?" Mu Yu avoided his gaze and sat down at the table by himself.
Seeing this, Ling Shuang consciously retreated and stood at the door.
Wuchen followed to the table reluctantly, staring at the indifferent pastoral rumor: "I asked why you pretended to be Lin Wanyan and why did you marry him?" ”
"It's my business, why should I tell you?" Mu Yu furrowed his eyebrows a little impatiently.
Wuchen was stunned, his eyes darkened, and he sat down on the other table in frustration. Yes, why did she question herself, and why did she answer.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of outsiders, Mu Yu turned off the lights in the room, and the two of them sat quietly at the table, each thinking about their own thoughts.
"You're his sister, I can't watch you jump into the fire pit." Half-loud, Wuchen finally found a reason for himself not to be too embarrassed.
"How can you be sure it must be a fire pit?" Even if it is, you have to jump.
"You're so clever that you can't fail to see the calculations in this, and you think they don't know you're a fake?"
"Even if it is, I'm already involved, and it's impossible to retreat." What's more, things are developing in the way she expected, why retreat?
"Did they force you? Don't be afraid! I can take you away immediately if you want! The thought of her marrying someone else made Wuchen's heart throb.
"Nobody forced me! I said that this is my business, don't say that I won't leave, even if I will, it is impossible to involve you, and besides, even if my brother comes here today, it may not be able to stop me. ”
Wuchen was silent for a while, and after a while, he raised his eyes slightly and looked at her: "Mu Yu, if I say that I really like you and want to protect you, are you willing to leave this place with me?" "I was going to wait for everything to be ready, so I showed her my heart and asked her to give herself a chance, but I didn't expect that it would only take some time to deal with things, and it would become the current situation. If he had known that this would have happened, he would have managed to take her away if he met in the woods that day.
Mu Yu's body trembled, and he suddenly met his eyes, and the bright phoenix eyes loomed in the darkness.
She didn't expect him to say that, they had only met twice, although they were extremely impressed, but at most they were friends like friends, how could they...? Although there was a warm current in her heart, it was not enough to drown her reason, this was his wishful thinking after all, he could even give up the Situ Yun he liked, how could he change his original intention for him!
"Dustless boy, there is a last resort for the pastoral rumor to do this, and it is not worth your stupidity!" The tone was soft and unbearable.
"Nope! Worth! Since the first time I saw you, I have liked you, do you remember the sound of the flute that night at the Fuyuan Inn? 'Whose jade flute flies darkly, scattered into the spring breeze full of Los Angeles'. Wuchen tilted his head slightly, recalling the beauty of the first time he met: "You broke into my eyes like that, and then occupied my heart. I know you don't have me in your heart, but I still regret that I didn't show you my heart sooner and fight for a chance for myself. I opened my mouth and found that it was not as difficult to confess as it was in the likeness.
In the face of this sudden affectionate confession, Mu Yu didn't know how to answer for a while, in contrast, she still preferred the dustless boy who was arguing with her and grinning.
"I have understood your intentions, but I am destined to live up to them, in a few days I will be the concubine of King Chen, and the dustless prince still has to put his mind on me again."
"Although you don't have me in your heart, I know that you don't love him in your heart either, how can such a marriage full of conspiracy and calculation give you happiness! I can't watch you destroy yourself. Tell me what you have to do, and if there is anything you want to do, I will do it for you, even if you go to the soup and fire, I will definitely do it for you. Will you come with me? We ......"
"Who's going to take my side concubine, huh?!"
The two of them were shocked in their hearts, and at the same time they got up and looked at the door.
Pushing open the door stepped into a tall black figure, and the bright moonlight penetrated into the room from behind him, adding an eerie glow to the deep darkness.
Situ Yu's steps were slow, but every step made the small room even more dull.
Mu Yu looked at the door worriedly, and Ling Shuang remained motionless in a posture.
"I can't imagine that the jade-faced snake-hearted 'dustless son' is actually moved by the king's side concubine! This really surprised the king! He approached step by step, and the distance between him and Wuchen at the moment was not more than a stone's throw away, and the coldness around him showed his anger at the moment.
"Don't be so close, she's not your concubine!" Wuchen was not afraid to meet the cold light in his eyes.
"Not? The marriage between the palace and the Hou Mansion, the saint personally gave the marriage, and everyone in Changli knew about it, how could you say no! ”
"Humph! What about the emperor's own gift, as long as she wants, I can take her away at any time! ”
The aura shown by Wuchen surprised Mu Yu slightly, and she suddenly felt that this was what he should be, and his previous cynicism was all for others to see.
"Really? Try! The surrounding cold air instantly turned into a murderous aura.
