"How do you know?"

Nangong Li's tone did not show the slightest surprise, not even the slightest surprise, and asked Mu Xue in a calm tone.

When Mu Xue saw him like this, she asked suspiciously: "Didn't you already know?" ”

Nangong Li chuckled, glanced at the woman with an idiot's gaze, and then said, "He has been with me for more than ten years." ”

This means that this Jiang Ci has no secrets at all in front of him.

That kind of tacit understanding that has penetrated for more than ten years, Nangong Li can naturally read through Jiang Ci's thoughts from his eyes.

Hearing his words, Mu Xue breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, this man is not good at beating mandarin ducks.

"You haven't answered this king yet, how do you know?"

He understands that Jiang Ci has hidden so many likes, and he has never even mentioned Jiang Ci as his master, how can it be Jiang Ci himself.

Fei Qi is even more impossible to say.

It was a secret guard trained by the emperor himself.

If there is selfishness, so that the emperor will find out, he will definitely die.

The emperor's secret guard is not called a secret guard, it is called the Iron Army.

If something goes wrong with you, the next person will come and end your life, erase your name, and take your place.

It's like you've never been there.

Mu Xue didn't know the twists and turns behind these things, and when she heard this, she put down the food in her hand.

Leaned closer, then reached out, warm fingertips caressing his thin lips, and said softly: "You may lie here, but eyes don't." ”

Eyes won't?

Nangong Li was a little distracted by her caressing movements, and he didn't understand what she meant.

Her fingertips were between her lips, Nangong Li even stopped breathing for a while, and only rolled her throat and asked softly, "How do you say this?" ”

Mu Xue withdrew her hand, and Nangong touched her lips unsatisfied, as if she liked the touch of her little hand rubbing between his lips.

"Lord Wang, in fact, liking this thing is very simple, even if you don't say it in your mouth, it will come out of your eyes, if a person truly loves another person, the eyes are the windows of the soul, and no one will choose to deceive their hearts."

No one chooses to deceive their heart.

This sentence seemed to poke the man's heart, and he looked at Mu Xue's eyes carefully.

In the past, this Nangong Li only felt that Mu Xue's eyes were bright, moist, and watery, and seemed to be able to speak.

Now he understands that Mu Xue's eyes have souls.

And now there is the joy of seeing him,

Nangong Li saw it clearly, and that joy seemed to be impossible to hide.

Sure enough, this is what this woman said, if you really like someone, your eyes will not lie.

And Mu Xue only saw the clue from the glance when Jiang Ci looked at Fei Qi before he was about to leave.

And when she came out to talk to Fei Qi alone, Fei Qi did not deny it.

The feelings of the Predator Army are like a gray area, and they can't see the light.

Mu Xue suddenly sighed, she always felt that those people were too difficult, and she had to be careful even if she liked them, and she hid them secretly.

"Why do you sigh?"

Mu Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm just thinking that they are too difficult, and their feelings have to be hidden." ”

Listening to Mu Xue's specious emotion, Nangong Li swallowed the food in his mouth, and he didn't know whether to comfort Mu Xue or say it to himself.

"Isn't it nice that they can see each other well every day under the same roof all year round?"

It's good.

But Mu Xue always felt that something was missing.

But that's it.

In her heart, if the conditions really don't allow it, liking someone doesn't necessarily have to be together to be a sign of liking.

The years are fine, and he is well.

This may also be enough.

After eating this breakfast, Mu Xue explained everything she had talked to Jiu Pei about yesterday on the way to rest with him.

Inside the study, a slightly dazzling light shone in obliquely through the hollow window, hitting Nangong Li's desk.

He was propping his head on his elbows, his eyes closed pretending to sleep, listening to Mu Xue chattering in his ear.

"Lord, the concubine didn't discuss with you, so she took the lead in privately promising Jiu Pei that she would send her away after the matter was completed, do you agree to this?"

At the beginning, Jiu Pei really set fire to this man's face, although he didn't know when his face was good.

But Mu Xue didn't ask this man if he had let go of Jiu Pei's thoughts.

So at the moment, she was actually a little uneasy in her heart.

She didn't want him to think she was above him.

I saw that her eyes flashed with unease.

He held her little hand in the palm of his hand, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Don't be upset, she is just a maid, how to deal with you You don't need to listen to the king's opinion, you just have to be happy." And I know you don't mean that. ”

The man seemed to be getting more and more reasonable.

Mu Xue nodded, with a hint of gratitude on her face.

She didn't bow and thank you, he felt that those things would make the husband and wife seem to be separated.

"But are you really sure that Jiu Pei can do this well? The crown prince is not a fool. ”

That's a lot more difficult.

Jiupei's heart is not very tenacious.

So Nangong Li was a little worried about this.

Mu Xue's mind was buzzing, and what was circling around his mind was his sentence, you don't have to be uneasy.

This sentence was like giving her a reassuring pill, Mu Xue's heart completely fell into her stomach, and by the way, she buried a little soil, stepped on her feet, and became stronger.

"What does this king ask you, what is the god?"

After waiting for so many seconds, Nangong Li saw that she didn't answer, so he squeezed her hand.

"Yes, this matter can be done well, but it can be exchanged for her freedom for the rest of her life. And if it doesn't work well, we don't have a loss, it's a dog-eat-dog contradiction between them, which has become our profit from the fisherman, and it doesn't matter if we lose. ”

It sounds like it makes a lot of sense.

Nangong Li opened his pretended sleep eyes, with praise in them.

In fact, there is something that Mu Xue didn't expect about in this matter.

As long as the prince senses that there is something wrong with his subordinates, in line with the principle that he would rather kill mistakes than let go, he will not leave Jiu Pei behind.

This Mu Xue is merciful, and she plans to let Jiu Pei go after she finishes doing this.

But according to the insidiousness of the prince, a little loss on Jiu Pei's body will make Jiu Pei pay the price of his life.

"And last night I asked Fei Qi to roughly estimate, that Jiu Pei has been in your palace for three years, except for what she used, at least 10,000 taels of silver, you give her 500 taels a month, she spent a maximum of 200 taels, and she can save an average of 300 taels a month."

Mu Xue calculated, and muttered with a small mouth: "When your aunt is really rich, this is a lot of money accumulated over the years..."

As if she was very reluctant to accept this money, Mu Xue's mouth was raised and she muttered quietly.

"Heh..."

The man chuckled in a suppressed voice, and his tone was full of doting.

"It's been less than two months since you married the king, you count, how much silver you have blackened me, and all the money in my treasury has been blacked..."

When it came to this matter, Mu Xue's pretty face turned red.

He pushed his arm unwillingly, forcing him to say a little unwillingly: "Then how can it be the same, we husband and wife, that Jiu Pei is an outsider." ”

Mu Xue felt like the 10,000 taels of silver that Jiu Pei had secretly taken out of her pocket.

Looking at this woman's expression, Nangong Li tugged at her sleeve and explained to her.

"In fact, she didn't leave any of this money on her body, and the king's people found out that her family married her two brothers and took concubines, all of which were the silver provided by Jiupei."

Jiu Pei is also pitiful.

The reason why he was bewitched by the prince at the beginning and took the 1,000 taels of silver was also because there were two unsuccessful brothers in the family.

In fact, Mu Xue knew these things, and Jiu Pei explained everything to her, which is why Mu Xue was able to stay in Jiu Pei's room for a whole afternoon.

Mu Xue was silent, yesterday Na Jiupei also said that the family had saved up a dowry for her, and when the time came, the family would live in a different place, and there would be no such thing as her being an aunt in the capital.

If she changes to a place where she is unfamiliar, she can also start a new life.

Mu Xue remembers.

She remembered that when Na Jiupei said that her family had saved her dowry, Na Jiupei's eyes rose with yearning and enthusiasm for life.

It was precisely because of this that Mu Xue promised Jiu Pei, saying that she had completed this thing and let her go.

It's like all of a sudden I have a lot of feelings for Jiu Pei.

In fact, she didn't feel Jiupei, but felt the horror of patriarchy in this society.

Even Jiu Pei herself didn't know that her two brothers spent her money, but they never thought of her half as good.

Nangong Li was crooked on the Taishi chair, supporting his head with his elbows diagonally propped up, resting with his eyes closed.

Mu Xue didn't seem to want to mention Jiu Pei's matter anymore, so she persuaded him softly: "Lord Wang, you are in a hurry to come back and don't have a good rest, why don't you go to the inner room to sleep for a while, how about it?" I see you're tired."

"Okay."

He responded and got up from the Taishi's chair.

Then he took her by the hand and went into the inner room.

"Lord, I don't need to rest."

Standing in front of Nangong Li, after Mu Xue sent people in, he was about to leave.

"Good, come over and be clothed with this king."

Mu Xue's steps were only one step before she heard the man say this.

Mu Xue has long been proficient in this action.

I just saw that there were a lot of water stains on his moon-white robe, as well as stains stained by resin scratches, and even a branch was scratched.

It was like a gallop among thorns, and even the branches and thorns had no time to dodge.

Seeing all this, Mu Xue was silent and didn't speak, didn't ask him what he was doing, and didn't ask him why he came back in such a hurry.

She noticed that as soon as he came back, he had eaten with her, and had just spoken in the study for so long, and now he was going to rest.

There seemed to be nothing urgent waiting for him to deal with.

So what did this person do all night and come back from the dark and frosty?
