In Mu Chen's memory, the appearance of Qingling, who was most deeply engraved, was definitely not the decadent woman in front of him who was full of negativity and talked about fate.

In the dazzling light of the valley tree, her red dress fluttered lightly and stood brightly.

The smile on his lips was pure, but his posture was a little cramped, and his clear eyes flashed with stubborn wisdom.

The peach and plum are full of romance.

However, I don't know when it began, the girl who was sometimes angry and resentful, sometimes eyebrows fluttering, sometimes stunned and sad, and sometimes smiling like a flower, had become strange and difficult to understand, so that he only had heartache?

He couldn't accept it.

Unacceptable.

Mu Chen slowly stood up and stared at her, "These words are an excuse for you to hate me and want to leave me?" Or is it because you don't think I'm capable of delivering on my promises? ”

Qing Ling understood that her words stung Mu Chen, but she was unwilling to retreat.

"I don't hate you, and I don't despise your abilities. In fact, when you told me in the past that you would not let me marry Daze, I also thought in my heart that even if you didn't express your position, I would not let myself become a pawn of my father and honestly obey his arrangement to marry into the Baili clan! At that time, I was only thinking about gathering strength for you and me, clamping down on the Fang Shan clan, bribing courtiers, and raising private troops, thinking that if Jiuqiu died, the relationship between Chaoyan and Daze would also change, and my father might not be willing to let me marry Daze at that time. ”

She smiled self-deprecatingly, "In the past few years, I have played with power tricks, sought personal gain, and used and hurt a lot of people...... Every time I calm down, I think of my shameless robbery of my sister's sweetheart, of his disregard for the livelihood of the common people in his hands and feet on taxes, and of those who died innocently because of me, how can I not feel guilty in my heart? ”

Mu Chen was silent for a moment, and then walked closer to Qing Ling, "Those who achieve great things must have a choice." Besides, everything you do is for me. Even if I have to bear the guilt, I should bear it! ”

Qing Ling turned sideways and avoided Mu Chen's approach, "Do you really feel guilty?" What did you think when Brother Hao died? Before agreeing to let him go to Wutong Town, did you ever hesitate and feel guilty? In the past, you and Chun Yuyan said so much about reforming the old and making the new and serving the country and the people, but now that the invasion of the sun is related to the life and death of thousands of people in the Eastern Continent, you want to abuse your military power and provoke civil strife! ”

She shook her head in confusion and raised her hand to wipe away the tears that had not yet dried from her cheeks, "To be honest, my heart is also very messy. But I won't budge on this matter! ”

Mu Chen looked at her without saying a word, although his expression was still cold and calm, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was already very abnormal: "I came to you that day and wanted to explain the whole matter to you in detail, but you asked me not to mention it again, and said that no matter what I want you to do or don't want you to do in the future, you will listen to me." Now, why do you regret it again? ”

Qing Ling raised his eyes and wanted to speak, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he met his inky black eyes that were mixed with sorrow and anger.

Mu Chen chuckled, sneered with a smile, and slowly continued: "You said so many things, just to tell me that you are now willing to marry Daze and Baili Fuyao!" ”

He was caught off guard and grabbed Qing Ling's wrist and forced his eyes to look at her, "You know my intentions, you know what I did...... Whether it makes you suspicious and alienated from him, provokes the hatred between Jiuqiu and Chaoyan, or makes my father have to reconsider his marriage with Daze, it's all for you! And now you tell me that my heart for you is not what you want? ”

Qing Ling's wrist was clenched painfully, and the strong emotions that seeped into her blood evaporated into chaos, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

The tears that could not be stopped flowed again.

"I didn't, I didn't let you do those things......"

Mu Chen understood her words to himself, only to feel that a heart was cut open and crushed, and his eyes were cold, but he did not gather to look at her, confused and painful.

He remembered the past, remembered the appearance of her peeking at himself under the acacia tree, remembered the promises she made to each other on the top of Zhangguo Peak, remembered the attachment of her soft body leaning on his arms, remembered those kisses, those affectionate looks, remembered her jealousy and jealousy, remembered her desperate for him......

A sharp pain in the depths of his heart made him trance. Then there was another blank, and the whole person seemed to fall into the darkness of chaos.

Mu Chen pinched Qing Ling's hand and suddenly forced, reversed her arm and imprisoned her waist, and the other hand clasped the back of her head, and kissed her on the lips without saying a word.

Qing Ling first trembled, his expression was confused for a moment, and then he came to his senses and struggled frantically.

Mu Chen's strength is amazing, and she is not allowed to retreat. Moist lips cagged her, with a rapid gasp, invading like a storm. The sensitive chase interaction between the lips and tongue, the inescapable fiery entanglement, sent waves of tremors from the bottom of my heart to the skin of the two of them close together.

Qing Ling knew that Mu Chen had set a ban, but that ban only locked the sound of the conversation between the two, but it couldn't cover every move that happened here.

Although she had previously ordered that the maids should not come here to disturb her, at this moment, after all, the two of them were in the Yinque Palace, and there might be palace people walking near the water pavilion at any time. Once someone bumps into such a scene, I'm afraid that the ending is not just ruined!

She felt Mu Chen's confinement, and knew that he had used divine power, and it was impossible for him to escape with his own senseless struggle. In the midst of the rapid movement of her heart, the hand she held on his chest attacked, condensed a percent of spiritual power, and slammed into his heart!

This palm, for a Protoss master like Mu Chen, was not heavy, but it hit the heart pulse when the opponent was completely unguarded.

Mu Chen's face suddenly turned pale, he took a few steps back, raised his hand to cover his chest, and looked at Qing Ling in disbelief.

Since they met, this is the first time she has shot at him!

Qing Ling was in a state of confusion, breathing with sobs, "Are you crazy? This is Suzaku Palace! ”

Mu Chen bowed his body slightly, endured the pain and sneered: "I'm crazy, it's you who drove me crazy......"

Qing Ling buried his face in his palms, sucked hard, and then raised his head, "I didn't force you!" I didn't force you to do those things......" choked up for a moment, "It's okay to fight side by side, not for you to lie to me, not for you to hurt others because of me!" You married another woman, and I felt sorry for it, but I didn't do anything! You, why do you always have to be so strong, and you always want me to do everything according to your wishes? Is it interesting that we are like this now? ”

Mu Chen stared at her, and for a while, he asked word by word: "You, do you still love me?" ”

Qing Ling opened a pair of teary eyes, was stunned for a moment, and shook his head gently, "I don't know ......"

Mu Chen seemed to want to laugh, his pale lips were curved, but he couldn't bring out half an arc.

"You now understand why I've done so many things at all costs, right? Because I've been scared that one day, you'll give me such an answer. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and collapsed limply.

Qing Ling hurriedly rushed over and held Mu Chen, seeing that his eyes were closed, beads of sweat gradually condensed on his white forehead, and his expression was full of severe pain, Fang remembered that the red soul bead in his body needed him to control it with his divine sense from time to time, and once he slacked off and lost control, it would cause the burning pain of rotting bones and eating his heart.

And Shicai's own blow, when he was completely defenseless, not only hurt his heart, but also caused his divine consciousness to be disordered for a moment, and he lost the suppression of the divine power of the Red Soul Bead.

Qing Ling hurriedly concentrated his energy and nailed an ice needle into Mu Chen's Tianzong acupoint, and then continuously slammed into the ice needles into various large acupoints on his body, channeling the huge power of the Red Soul Bead.

Mu Chen felt Qing Ling's movements, and slowly calmed down, cooperating with her guidance with his own strength.

The cultivation of both of them has made great progress compared to a few years ago. In less than a cup of tea, the power of the Red Soul Bead was suppressed from the source.

Qingling helped Mu Chen to the beauty couch, let him lean on the brocade and feather satin pillow, and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead for him.

Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes, his delicate face was still slightly pale, and his dark eyes stared at Qing Ling silently.

Qing Ling finished wiping his sweat, moved the handkerchief to his placket again, and wiped the blood stains on it. But the blood has long dried up and coagulated at this moment, where can it be wiped clean?

With tears in her eyes, Qing Ling said in a low voice, "Since I hurt my sense, why didn't you speak earlier?" I have to make myself uncomfortable......"

Mu Chen still looked at her silently, and after a while, he said slowly: "You said something like that to me, why do you care if I will be uncomfortable?" I'd rather die like this. ”

Qing Ling's heart was cold, the movements in his hands stopped, raised his eyes, and looked back at Mu Chen.

The slight sound of the wind in the corridor outside the water pavilion was hidden in the cold steam.

All of a sudden, there was silence all around, and only the two of them were left looking at each other silently.

Qing Ling was calm, but he felt powerless in his body, and after a long time, he raised his hand to touch Mu Chen's face.

"How can you say such a thing? You're not the one to say that. ”

Mu Chen smiled weakly, "Then what kind of person am I?" Someone who is so strong that you are annoyed? ”

Qing Ling closed his eyes as if he had been stabbed, and shook his head.

"After Fang Shanlei started to investigate the matter of Wutong Town, I went to find him." After a long time, she said softly and slowly: "I deliberately misled him to make him believe that the mastermind behind the whole thing is Baili Fuyao. I also warned him that you are the person I value and care about the most in my life. But whatever is harmful to you, I will do my best to stop it, even if my hands are stained with blood, even if it hurts the innocent. I also said the same thing to Baili Fuyao. ”

After a pause, he felt Mu Chen's hand cover his own, with a slight tremor.

She continued: "You're afraid I'm going to have feelings for that person. But in fact, even if there were no misunderstandings, I would not have believed him, let alone fallen in love with him. So I can't just watch you gamble everything for this impossible thing, and let all your previous efforts go to waste! Don't you understand who I am for in my heart? ”

Mu Chen held her hand, and his slender fingers wrapped around her, "Why didn't you tell me these things earlier?" ”

"Fang Shanlei's matter is because I don't want you to know that I have already guessed the truth about Wutong Town. And my feelings for Baili Fuyao, you have known for a long time. I really don't know what else to say to make you believe it. All the cruel things you said today were all forced by you to make me have no choice. ”

Mu Chen was silent for a long time, "Seriously, won't you be emotional about him?" ”

Qing Ling's tone was resolute, "No." I swear. ”

"What about you...... Who to love? ”

Qing Ling was silent and did not answer. Finally, he slowly leaned down, leaned his head on Mu Chen's shoulder, and muttered as if he sighed, "Does it make sense if you say it?" ”

Mu Chen took her hand, put it on her lips, and kissed it, "For me, it means the same as the world." ”

Qing Ling was speechless for a long time.

Finally, he sighed and leaned closer to him, "Let's not quarrel anymore." No matter how noisy it is, I really don't love it. ”
