Luo Yao walked up to Qingling and Fang Shanlei, with a polite smile on his lips, "What are you talking about?" ”

Fang Shanlei has always been quiet and calm, but his expression was slightly stiff at this time, and he had no intention of greeting Luo Yao, so he only greeted him lightly, "Baili Shizi." ”

Luo Yao's gaze shifted to Qing Ling.

Qing Ling said, "I didn't talk about anything. I was looking for Brother Muchen to go back to the house together, and I happened to meet Fang Shan Gongzi, so I asked him where Brother Wang was. ”

When the words came out, he immediately repented.

She originally wanted to block Luo Yao's inquiry, so that he would not say something sarcastic and mocking again, but now she looked back on it, as if she was afraid of her fiancé's suspicion and was eager to clarify his innocence.

She was already in a bad mood, and she felt even more aggrieved for a moment, and she didn't feel a little more angry when she looked at Luo Yao.

Luo Yao smiled gently, "It just so happens that I am also going back to the house, and when I go back to the account to get a few documents, I will send you back to the house." ”

He has a gentle smile, an earnest tone, and a tender look in his eyes, and no woman can fault it.

But Qing Ling felt a chill on his scalp.

This kid is really good at acting......

After a moment's hesitation, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Mu Chen and Xi Yang coming from the other end of the training ground, and hurriedly said to Luo Yao, "No need." You deal with the paperwork slowly, and Brother Wang and I will go back first. ”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly said goodbye to Fang Shanlei, and walked towards Mu Chen quickly.

Fang Shanlei peeked at Luo Yao's reaction.

For the children of other families, being rejected like this by his fiancée in front of others, I am afraid that he will show a little embarrassment. However, Luo Yao's expression was calm, and there seemed to be a slight ridicule in the arc of his lips that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling.

Qing Ling and Mu Chen got into the carriage back to the city.

She rested her head against the wall of the carriage, looking beyond the gap in the curtains, looking out of the car in a daze.

Mu Chen had long realized that Qing Ling was in a different mood, raised his hand to brush the messy hair in front of her forehead, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" When you go out in the morning, you're not so silent. ”

Qing Ling's fingers slowly rubbed the edge of the brocade curtain, and he let out a faint breath, telling what Emperor Hao said to him today.

After Mu Chen listened, he said, "Father has always acted like this. Praising a person is not necessarily out of love, and suppressing a person is not necessarily out of disgust. Chaoyan's territory is getting wider and wider, and he wants to manage a huge empire, and balancing the forces of all parties is an indispensable means. If you suffer from gains and losses because of this matter, and the power in your hands will become greater and greater in the future, and the slightest fluctuation will go from heaven to earth, which will be even more unbearable. ”

He himself had the painful experience of falling from 10,000 people to the state of near death, and now that he has returned from Nirvana, he has already taken the temporary honor and disgrace very lightly.

Qing Ling said: "I'm not sad that he transferred Fang Shanji too, I just ...... I just feel that being born in such a family makes life so helpless. ”

She paused, and slowly continued in a confused tone: "You have also seen the appearance of the third aunt today. She and her father are brothers and sisters. Look at us and Mu Han, we are worse than my father and aunt. Laughing sarcastically, "My stepmother and my brother wanted to kill me, and now I want to kill them, and my father, knowing all the inside story, did nothing, but took advantage of my hatred to let me rob my sister's lover." Fang Shanlei also reminded me just now, and now, I still have to call my mother-killing enemy 'uncle'. I don't know if my mother will feel sad when she is under the Nine Springs......"

Mu Chen stared at Qing Ling and called in a low voice, "Qing Ling." ”

He put his arm around her shoulders and slowly turned her to himself, his eyes shining deeply, "I understand all the pain in your heart. If you're tired, don't worry about anything. I will help you avenge your brother's revenge. You can be an idle person in the Suzaku Palace, just like Chaojun. I will never let the queen hurt you again!" As I said earlier, I don't want to involve you in these power struggles at all, let alone ...... In order to help me seize power, you agreed to marry Daze. ”

Qing Ling curled the corners of his mouth weakly.

If she can complain about her suffering, what about Mu Chen, who has lived in such an environment for hundreds of years and was once forced into a desperate situation?

After all, she was just discouraged.

has finally come to this point, how can she give up lightly and put all the burden on Mu Chen alone?

Qing Ling shook his head, "I'm just venting my emotions indiscriminately, I don't really feel that I have been wronged." ”

She leaned over and rested her head lightly on Mu Chen's shoulder.

"Mu Chen, one day, you will ascend the throne as king and sit on the throne and sit on the world, will you ...... And to me as my father did to my aunt? ”

"Why do you ask?"

"After all, we are also brothers and sisters of the emperor's family. Besides, I think you sometimes look a lot like your father. ”

Mu Chen took Qing Ling's hand into his palm, was silent for a long time, and said solemnly word by word: "I said, no matter whether you are rich or poor, in this life, you will be the person I cherish the most." ”

In the evening, an uninvited guest came to the palace.

Nian Hong stared at Chun Yuyan who was leaning on the door frame with his elbows on guard, and then stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look at the two women behind him.

Chun Yuyan waved out the handle of the fan, lightly supported Nianhong's chin, and the phoenix eyes were slightly raised, "Little beauty, where is your emperor?" ”

Nian Hong blushed, jumped back, pointed at Chun Yuyan, and stammered: "You, you, what are you calling nonsense!" ”

Qing Ling, who was coming out of the inner room after hearing the sound, saw this scene, and suddenly had the excitement and understanding of the divine soldiers descending from the sky and one thing descending from one thing, and looked up at Chun Yuyan with reverent eyes.

Chun Yuyan briefly explained his intention to Qingling, "There are some things I want to discuss with Mu Chen face to face. Then he summoned two women behind him, "Didn't you ask Xun to help you find a few maids?" ”

He pointed to the delicate woman in a light green emerald cigarette shirt, "This is Qiu Zhi, who is of the same clan as Xun, and her skills are not bad." Then he pointed to another woman in a light blue gauze dress with a charming appearance, "This is the evening fog, acting smartly and smartly, and it is perfect to serve you closely." ”

The two maids saluted Qing Ling and said in unison, "The slave has seen the emperor." ”

Qingling didn't expect Chun Yuyan to send two maids over from afar.

She didn't bring the accompanying palace maid with her when she went south this time, firstly, because she was afraid that the queen would insert eyeliner, and secondly, she felt that it was wartime after all, and it would be somewhat inconvenient to have a maid by her side. But since he tried Nian Hong's nagging skills, Qing Ling wished that a few more people would come to help him share the piercing magic sound......

So she happily accepted Xia Qiuzhi and Xiwu, and instructed Nianhong to arrange accommodation for them and explain all the matters.

That night, Chun Yuyan met with Mu Chen in the study, and asked quite puzzledly: "I can understand that you let Qiu Zhi stay with Qingling." But Xiwu is the singer of Red Moon Fang, if you want to use her words, you should also use it on men, what role can she play with Qingling? ”

Mu Chen looked down at the ring marks on his index finger and replied lightly: "It has its own effect." ”

Chun Yuyan saw that he didn't want to say more, and he didn't force him to ask, so he turned the topic back to the main thing —

"An Huaixin is also a shrewd person. Now that the entire Lingxiao City knows that Qingling has joined forces with you, and An has always regarded Baili's as his biggest opponent, how could he not be in a hurry? The reason why he agreed to marry his only sister to you was because Baili Fuyao and Mu Han got too close, so An Laosan ruthlessly abandoned Mu Han and helped you. But now Qingling has become Baili Fuyao's fiancée, even if Daze may not necessarily stand on your side in the future, but on the surface, he is already connected with you. ”

Mu Chen said: "Now that the war is imminent, he wants me to hold a wedding at this time, which is too hasty." ”

Chun Yuyan said: "For the royal family, it is indeed a bit hasty to hold a wedding just one year after being engaged. However, Miss An is also a sensible person, and she said that she didn't care about ceremonies or anything. ”

He narrowly glared at Mu Chen, "Since all the girls only seek fame and don't want pomp, how much time can you spend rushing back to Lingxiao City to salute and enter a cave room?" ”

Mu Chen still lowered his eyebrows and was silent.

Chun Yuyan looked at him as if he hesitated, and said tentatively: "Isn't it...... What agreement did you reach with Baili Fuyao to abandon An's chess? ”

Daze Baili controls the lifeblood of Donglu trade, and An's strength and influence follow, if both parties are in the position because of supporting Mu Chen in the future, they will naturally strive for the same interests, and the situation will inevitably be embarrassing.

Chun Yuyan thought for a moment and continued: "If you are sure that you can control Daze Baili through Qingling, then it is actually ......."

"Yan,"

Mu Chen interrupted suddenly, and then slowly raised his head, his tone was cold and determined, "Tell An Huaixin that I will return to Beijing as soon as possible to get married." ”

～～～

Qing Ling wrote down several notes, put them into several gift boxes, and then carefully sealed them one by one, and instructed Qiu Zhi: "Early tomorrow morning, you will ride your mount to Chongwu and hand these over to my senior brother Chenyue." ”

Since leaving Chongwu and returning to Lingxiao City, Qingling has been collecting all kinds of valuable medicinal materials and sending them back to Chongwu in a steady stream, hoping to help Li Zhong recover from his injuries.

Li Zhong was seriously injured by Mo Nanqi in the Casting Ding Terrace, and has not yet woken up, relying on Mo Qian to spend his own spiritual power every day to repair his divine sense. After Emperor Hao granted amnesty to Fan Ye, Qing Ling asked people to find Li Zhong's parents and siblings, and sent them to Chongwu, hoping to wake up the comatose senior brother as soon as possible through the close care of his relatives.

Qiu Zhi responded to the order and put the gift box away.

Nianhong cleaned up the dinner utensils on the side, and muttered in a low voice: "I can also give gifts, and I can also go to Chongwu to see it by the way." I haven't seen you send anything before, but as soon as the new maid came, she explained her errand and made it clear that she didn't trust me......"

She picked up the plate and was about to step out of the threshold, but she raised her eyes and saw Luo Yao standing at the door, followed by her brother Nian Ying.

"Hey, Shizi! What are you doing here? You're coming to see the emperor? ”

It's been a while since I moved into the palace, and this is the first time that the prince has stepped into Qingling's courtyard.

Nian Ying knew that her sister was a chatterbox, so she beckoned with a disgusted face outside the door, "Don't stand in the way with things!" Hurry out and get out. The prince of the world has something to discuss with the emperor. ”

Nian Hong rolled her eyes at her brother, curtsied to Luo Yao again, and went out with a dinner plate.

The Qing Ling in the house had already heard the conversation, got up and walked to the door, staring at Luo Yao in the night outside the house, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

Luo Yao nodded, and then walked straight into the house.

Not long after Qing Ling finished dinner, the house was still lit with scented incense. The new maid Xiwu made her favorite tea and served it to the couch.

Qing Ling and Luo Yao sat opposite each other.

Qing Ling raised his glass and took a sip of tea, speculating in his heart about Luo Yao's intentions, "If you have something, just say it." ”

Luo Yao set up a prohibition, "What you and I agreed on last time, is it still valid?" ”

Qing Ling said, "Of course. ”

She was also looking for Luo Yao and asked him to send someone to go with her to the Xuaniron Mine in the south.

Luo Yao said: "I will help you solve the matter of Xuantie." Right now, I have to leave the leaves for a day or two, and I need your cooperation to help me cover up my whereabouts. ”
