Chapter 173: Question

"Your Majesty, it's already dark."

Gonggong Lin caught up with him and couldn't help but remind him.

"If you don't want to follow me, you can go back quickly, you are not needed here."

Mu Yan was originally irritable, but when he saw that Gonggong Lin stopped him, he felt that the fire was getting bigger, and when Mu Yan said this, Gonggong Lin silently withdrew his hand.

The two went to the Jiaofang Hall together, Rong Xi was just finished bathing, and just about to rest, he heard the report of the palace maid who ran in outside.

"Empress Dowager Qi, Your Majesty is here."

Lu Qi was tucking the quilt for her, and when she heard this, Rong Xi lifted the quilt, hurriedly got out of bed, and motioned for Lu Qi to change her clothes again.

looked at Rong Xi helplessly, he had just settled everything and was ready to rest, but he was about to get up again.

Mu Yan walked around the front hall uneasily, and when he thought of the words of those two, he had more fear for the day of ancestor worship.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

After simply changing his clothes, Rong Xi didn't want him to wait outside for too long, and as soon as he went to the front hall, he saw Mu Yan walking around the hall boringly.

She walked out slowly, and as soon as Mu Yan saw her, she was just about to say something, but she immediately stopped it again.

I almost forgot that Rong Xi can also be regarded as Mu Guichen's person, Mu Yan feels that he has no one to trust in this palace at this moment.

"I can't sleep."

Randomly found a reason, Mu Yan had to fool the past first, and then ask little by little.

"I see, then the mourning family can chat with Your Majesty, or whatever Your Majesty wants to do, you can do it."

Rong Xi smiled warmly, she loved Mu Yan very much in her heart, and completely regarded Mu Yan as her child, how could a mother not love her own child?

Seeing Rong Xi's warm smile, Mu Yan was in a trance for a moment, as if he saw his mother when she was alive.

"Auntie, you will always support me and protect me, right?"

Asking cautiously, Mu Yan was only afraid that the question he asked would not be what he wanted.

In this abyss, the only thing he can catch is Rong Xi, who gave up everything for him, she is his mother's own sister.

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Looking at Mu Yan suspiciously, Rong Xi was a little strange, all of a sudden, how could he ask this question?

"You answer me first."

Looking at her anxiously, he was anxious for an answer, seeing this, Rong Xi knew that he was in a hurry, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, and looked at him with a serious face.

"Naturally, the mourning family is Your Majesty's aunt, and she will protect Your Majesty well in this life."

She said seriously and firmly, wanting Mu Yan to trust her.

Hearing her words, Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "What if someone betrays you, me, and the regent?" ”

He asked again, for the two of them, Mu Yan naturally didn't want anyone to betray, but the facts had to let him see clearly.

Looking at Mu Yan, Rong Xi couldn't speak for a moment, I don't know if he was doubting her or doubting Mu Guichen?

"Your Majesty, why would you say such a thing?"

Looking at Mu Yan in puzzlement, Rong Xi wanted to understand all this, someone must have said something in Mu Yan's ear, and he would say this.

"No, I just thought of this question and wanted to know the answer."

Shaking his head, Mu Yan hid it, and he looked at her eagerly.

"No, the two of us have agreed that we will protect Your Majesty well and will not let anyone have a chance to hurt Your Majesty."

Touching Mu Yan's hair, Rong Xi said softly, who knows, in the next second, Mu Yan slapped her hand away.

"Nonsense, you're all talking nonsense!"

Mu Yan became excited, Rong Xi looked at him puzzled, and he didn't know why his mood had changed so much all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Taking a step forward, Rong Xi wanted to take his hand and ask him clearly.

"He betrayed us, during the day, I saw that he was stuffed with a note by a palace maid, and made an appointment to go to Tianxiang Teahouse, I sent someone to follow secretly, and heard their conversation." Mu Yan looked at Rong Xi and gritted his teeth and said.

"What?"

Rong Xi looked at Mu Yan in a daze, she did hear Lu Qi remind her of this during the day, but at that time, she didn't take it to heart at all, after all, she had been together in Xuzhou for so long, she knew Mu Guichen's thoughts.

No matter how others tempted him, he would never be shaken by the throne.

"Auntie, you're going to be on my side, right?"

Looking at Rong Xi seriously, Mu Yan was very afraid of her answer.

Looking at Mu Yan, Rong Xi shook his head, not knowing if he was tempting, or if he wanted to provoke feelings between the two of them.

In any case, Rong Xi would not believe that Mu Guichen would betray.

"Your Majesty, you must have misunderstood, how could the prince betray you and betray us?"

Shaking his head, Rong Xi smiled lightly, and when Mu Yan saw this, she knew that she would not believe his words, and she would also stand on Mu Guichen's side.

"You don't believe me? You don't want to be on my side, you want to be on his side, do you? ”

Said excitedly, Mu Yan suddenly felt sad, in this palace, he seemed to be the only one person.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to believe you, but I know the prince, he is not that kind of person, no matter what, I believe what you say, and I will stand on His Majesty's side, but I don't think it's possible for you to say this."

Shaking his head, Rong Xi grabbed his shoulders and said to him word by word.

"No, he betrayed us, you can't trust him, you can't!"

Mu Yan looked at her, and when Rong Xi saw this, he knew that it was useless to persuade him at this moment, after all, he had already thought so.

"Okay, I don't believe him, Your Majesty, you must know that I am your aunt, since I am your aunt, I will take the place of your mother and protect you well, and I will never let you be in any danger, understand?"

Calming Mu Yan's emotions, Rong Xi was only afraid that he would collapse.

"Really?"

With red eyes, the tip of Mu Yan's nose was sour.

"Of course, your mother is my sister, speaking of which, you are half my child, and I will protect you no matter what, since you don't trust the regent, then let's avoid him in the future."

She said softly, slowly calming Mu Yan's emotions, and Mu Yan was relieved to see that she was willing to stand on his side.

Gradually, the sleepiness came up, he said that he didn't want to go back to the Hall of Light, after all, the distance was too far, he couldn't hold it for so long, and in desperation, Rong Xi had no choice but to take him in and let him spend the night in the Jiaofang Palace, anyway, it was only one night.
