Chapter 169: There Are Mountains Beyond the Mountains (2)

As soon as the sky was brightened, Mu Jinggong went out and sat under an old tree, watching a little halo in the distance slowly rise and slowly become larger. From the moment Mu Jinggong got up, Mu Zhixi was aware of it, but she didn't say anything, and waited for Mu Jinggong to go out before sitting up. The two sisters hadn't slept in the same room for a long time. Mu Zhixi remembered that when he was a child, Mu Jinggong was afraid of the dark, and when he grew up, he often went to his room to sleep together. Thinking of this, Mu Zhixi also got dressed and went out.

"Hibiscus?" Mu Zhixi walked towards Mu Jinggong.

"Sister?" Mu Jinggong looked back at Mu Jinggong, "Sister, it's still early, why did you get up?" ”

"It's still early, why did you get up?"

"I can't sleep, so I want to come out and see the sky, to see the sunrise."

Mu Zhixi sat next to Mu Jinggong and said slowly: "Hibiscus? Guess what I just came up with? ”

Mu Jinggong looked at the sky and shook his head.

Mu Zhixi smiled: "I was thinking just now, when you were young, you were afraid of the dark, and you often hid in my arms and slept with me." Later, when you grow up, you still come to my room from time to time. Later, I got engaged to Nangong Mansion, and you didn't come anymore. After that, we came to Lingsenkaku, and you didn't live in the same place as me. After leaving Reisenkaku, we traveled around, but we always had one room per person. Now tossing and turning, we are back again, and now it is the same as back then, you and I are sleeping together, think about how fast this time passes, in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. ”

"Sister, Zhuangzi once said: 'Between the world and the earth, if the white horse passes through the gap, it will only happen suddenly.'" The most inescapable thing in this world is time. Mu Jinggong suddenly looked back at Mu Zhixi and said, "Sister, do you really want to marry Mo Cheng?" ”

"Mo Cheng treats me very well." Mu Zhixi smiled, "He never disliked me for being a **, he protected me everywhere and thought about me everywhere." ”

Mu Jinggong hesitated: "Sister, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"You say."

"I'm thinking, sister, can you really forget your sister..."Mu Jinggong felt that there was something wrong with what he said, and immediately changed his words, "Can you really forget Zi Shu's son and live a normal life with Mo Cheng?" ”

Mu Zhixi didn't know what to say, because she knew in her heart that it was impossible for her to forget Zishu. Even if Mo Cheng doesn't dislike her, how can he marry another man when he has a man in his heart? Even if the person in your heart is dead. But it's unfair to anyone. Mu Zhixi knew that Mo Cheng was good to her, but because of this, she was even more reluctant to hurt Mo Cheng. She wants to live a good life with Mo Cheng, but it seems that Nangong Zishu will never leave Mu Zhixi's heart in this life.

"Sister." Mu Jinggong saw Mu Zhixi's hesitation, "Actually, Zi Shu's son must also hope that his sister will have a better life." He's gone, but you can feel that he's still by your side, sister, isn't it? ”

At this moment, Mu Zhixi really felt that it was really her sister who knew her best.

"Sister, do you know why Son Zishu has been following you all the time?"

"He... Don't worry about me? ”

"He's not worried about you. I don't worry about your safety, nor do I worry that you will never marry again for the sake of him in this life. ”

"Really?" Mu Zhixi looked into the distance, and the sun was finally about to rise completely.

"You both have each other at heart, you want to be his wife forever, and he wants you to forget about him and live well. Sister, because you have always had him in your heart, he has never left you half a step. At this time, the sun had completely risen, and Mu Zhixi couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the still slightly hazy sky. Under the tree not far away, she seemed to see Nangong Zishu standing in the distance looking at herself as before. For a while, my nose was a little sore, and I couldn't hold back my tears, and I ran out unhappily. But all this was silent, and Mu Jinggong didn't notice it at all, but he also looked at the hazy sky, thinking about the person he had been thinking about in his heart.

Mo Ziwen was sitting near a flower bed in the courtyard and was thinking about things, when he happened to meet Shang Ling passing by.

"Oops!" Mo Zi asked when he saw Shang Ling come out and ran over to stop him, "Why are you going?" ”

"Oh, I'm going to see the prince."

"See the prince? What are you doing when you see the prince? ”

"What else can I do? Resignation! Everything that needs to be done is done, it's time for us to go! ”

"It's not." Mo Zi asked a little anxious, "It's only been one day since you left?" ”

"Someday? Counting now, it's been two days. ”

"What about Yu Cihyuk? Why don't you see her? ”

"Oh, she'll go to see the prince later, I'll go over and say it first." Shang Ling smiled, turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed something wrong, then turned back to look at Mo Zi and asked, "Hey?" What's the matter with you, kid? Why do you ask me so much? Are you trying to figure it out again? ”

"What the hell is the idea?" Mo Ziwen rolled Shang Ling's eyes, "It's good that you leave, the palace will be quiet when you leave." ”

"Huh? You little brat, the prince is used to you on weekdays, right? Neither big nor small is spoken. I tell you, you should go and meet the princes and ministers of the court, and they will all damage you and sharpen your character. ”

"Hey, the princes and ministers of the court? They are all gentlemen, taking money and not doing serious things, and they will flatter and slap horses every day, do you think I will be like them? ”

"Hey, hey, you can't generalize about people!"

"Hmph, it's all a raccoon dog. A person who bubbled out of a pool. How much difference can it make? However, besides, how do you know that the princes and nobles in the court will be different, and how much can you, an immortal cultivator from Lingxian Pavilion, know more than a child like me? It's not that the gate doesn't go out of the second door, could it be that your Lingxian Pavilion is also related to the imperial court, and often sends you disciples to go to the palace from time to time to walk around twice? ”

Shang Ling suddenly felt that he couldn't underestimate the child in front of him, although he was young, he did speak in a set way. "Huh? You kid, I feel more and more that something is wrong. I guess you're waiting for me here on purpose, right? ”

"What are waiting for you?" Mo Ziwen seemed to be a little weak-hearted, but he didn't show it too obviously, "I'm wandering around, what's wrong?" Isn't it okay? This is the palace! I just happened to see you come out, oh yes, you're still sneaky, don't do anything that is not good for the palace, not good for the prince, of course I want to ask you! ”

"Huh~" Shang Ling rolled his eyes at him, and Mo Zi took the opportunity to say, "Hey? Didn't anyone teach you? Resignation also requires two people to go together, how can they go one by one? Do you think our prince is so idle? ”

"And what do you want?"

"Of course, I asked Yu Cihe to join you!"

"Okay." Saying that, Shang Ling turned around and wanted to go back to call Yu Cihe, Mo Ziwen stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Come back after packing up, our prince still has to have a row of noodles!" ”

"Okay!" Shang Ling reluctantly brushed Mo Ziwen's hand away and left directly. Mo Ziwen stood in place and watched Shang Ling indeed go to find Yu Cihe, turned around and jumped into the bushes on the side, and hurriedly ran away secretly.

Shang Ling hung his head and knocked on Yu Cihe's door and shouted, "Yu Cihe! Are you alright? ”

Yu Cihyuk opened the door neatly dressed and looked at him with a half-dead look and said, "What's wrong?" Aren't you going to see the prince first? Done? ”

"Nope!" Shang Ling raised his head, "I met Mo Zi halfway and asked that little thing, if you don't force me to come to you, let the two of us go to see the prince together." ”

"Okay, I'm going there anyway, so let's go together."

The two came to the living room of the palace, and the steward went to pass on the king of Nanyang, and after a while, the king of Nanyang came out, followed by Mo Zi and asked.

"Lord Wang!" Yu Cihe stood up and saluted, "The news, the two of us have already brought it, and I hope that the prince can carefully consider his actions in the future." There are still many affairs to be dealt with by the subordinates, and it is inconvenient to stay here to bother more, so the two of us are here to bid farewell to you, Lord Wang, today. ”

"Miss Yu doesn't have to be polite, please sit down first." The king of Nanyang asked the two to sit down, and he also sat down and said, "I don't know what important things the two of you have to do?" ”

Yu Tzu He: "There are some things about us, and it is inconvenient to inform the prince, and I ask the prince to forgive me." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm asking more. This king wants to ask, is Miss Yu a person next to Su'an? ”

"Yes, I am the maidservant next to Princess Su'an."

"That's... How did Su'an get you out of the palace and outside the palace? As far as I know, Xiao Yuhuan's people have been staring at Jinci Palace. ”

Shang Ling heard what King Nanyang said, so he turned his head to look at Yu Cihe, Yu Cihe said without changing his face: "I followed the carriage out of the palace, hiding under the car, fortunately no one found me, so I have been working outside the palace for the princess." ”

"Hmm." King Nanyang nodded and said, "Since you are doing things for Su'an, can you do what the king tells you?" ”

"Naturally, Yu Cihe thought that the princess would do anything for the princess and the prince."

"Well, this king and this king have to prepare to deal with many trivial matters of the crown prince, and the rest of the complicated affairs in this mansion are only handled by Ziwen alone, which is inevitably a little tiring and sad. If Miss Yu doesn't mind, can she stay in the house for a few more days, and ask for help by the way. Wait until these complicated things are taken care of before leaving, okay? ”

Shang Ling knew that King Nanyang's words were not asking for Yu Cihe's opinion at all, and the date of going back to meet Xuan Zhuyi and the others this time would definitely be postponed again and again.

"Since it is the prince's order, Yu Cihe will definitely not obey the prince's entrustment."

"That's for the best!" King Nanyang looked at Shang Ling again, "What does Shang Gongzi think?" ”

"That's... Shang is naturally willing to serve the prince. ”

"Then there will be two Lao."

"The prince is polite." Yu Cihe stood up, "If the prince doesn't have any other instructions, then the two of us will go back first." ”

King Nanyang smiled: "Well, please." After speaking, Yu Cihe turned around and pulled Shang Ling out of the door.

"Lord Wang?" Mo Ziwen stood aside and watched the two walk away, "Fortunately, I came back in time!" You say, will they find something? ”

"It doesn't matter, this king has a righteous and bright reason for them to stay, so they don't dare to leave. During this time, let's start checking. Find an opportunity to bring the news into the palace, and this king wants to listen to what Su An has to say. Remember, avoid Xiao Yuhuan's eyeliner. ”

"Yes."

Shang Ling was dragged by Yu Ci He for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Yu Ci He?" Why are you walking so fast? ”

Yu Ci He let go of his hand and stopped, "Don't you see it? ”

"I can see it, I don't trust it!"

"Why don't you go quickly?" She turned and walked on.

"Hey! Yu Jihyuk! Shang Ling stretched out his hand and grabbed her and said, "Why does the King of Nanyang doubt you?" I don't understand! ”

"There are many possibilities."

"Then we won't be able to go anywhere during this time?"

"Hmm."

"What about the investigation?"

"It can only be postponed."

"Hey Yu Tzu-hyuk! You go slower! He caught up with Yu Tsze-hyuk and asked her, "Do you regret it?" ”

"Why do you regret it?"

"Because he doesn't trust you."

"Humph! I didn't expect him to trust me! I'm doing all this for the princess, and it's for myself. If he had his own ideas about everything, he would not have been usurped by Xiao Yuhuan in the first place! ”

"Yu Tzu-hyuk, what's wrong with you?" Shang Ling sensed that something was wrong with Yu Cihe's mood.

"It's fine." Yu Tzu Hyuk returned to his old state, "We will stay here in peace these days, and we will talk about it later." Xuan Zhuyi and the others should have left Mo Cheng and gone somewhere else. When they find a new place, they will find a way to contact us, and we will take a long-term view at that time. ”

"Okay."
