"Yo—"

A long woman's voice rang out outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and a seductive woman entered.

Her skirt is very light, a piece of snow-white skin is exposed on her chest, her gait is swaying and light, her waist is as soft as a willow in the wind, and there is a faint tired smile on the corner of her mouth, "The girl's words have offended our demon clan in Jiuqiu." ”

In Qing Ling's life, he had never seen a woman who spoke so coquettishly, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned, "I'...... You, you're ......"

"I'm the demon in the girl's mouth."

The woman slowly approached Qing Ling's side, stretched out her fingers, touched her jaw, and said "tsk" twice, "I see that you are not bad, it is better to stay here and follow my sister." What is most lacking in this town is a protoss girl like you. ”

Luo Yao stood up and pulled the woman's wrist very naturally, "Xian Xian, Qingling is my senior sister." ”

Xian Xian raised her hand and smiled coquettishly with her sleeve covering: "Oh, then I don't dare to think about it anymore." ”

Qing Ling's mind was still a little dazed.

Slim? Is it Luo Yao's friend who is proficient in medical skills?

But how can it look like it is 108,000 miles away from what I imagined......

Luo Yao asked Xian Xian: "Is he awake?" ”

"Wake up." Xian Xian lowered his head and straightened his sleeves, and when he raised his eyes again, his expression was much more serious, "You guessed right, that thing is inside him." In my opinion, the bead is also spiritual, and I finally met a host body that had lost all its divine power but had a deep fire spirit foundation, so I simply moved. ”

"And what will happen to him?" Qing Ling asked anxiously.

Xian Xian smiled and glanced at Qing Ling, "Look at you're in a hurry." He was fine, and he couldn't die for the time being, but he had to learn to control the bead's divine power as soon as possible, otherwise, he would suffer from the flames from time to time. ”

"For the time being...... How long is it temporary? ”

Xian Xiange laughed a few times, "I can't say for sure. Who knows when he will catch some other disease and die with a whimper? ”

Qing Ling's heart was full of emotion, leaving Xian Xian and Luo Yao behind, pushing the door straight out of the house, and running outside the east wing.

Nian Yingzheng came out of it, saw Qing Ling, bowed her head and saluted, "I was just going to find you." Prince Muchen woke up, and I told him about yesterday's events. He wants to see you now. ”

Qing Ling nodded, "I'm tired." ”

Nian Hotaru and Jiuye, although they are not willing to help themselves and Mu Chen, at least they are not as insidious as their family lineage, in contrast, Qing Ling's favor for them has increased greatly......

She gently pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Mu Chen leaned on the beauty couch, and a strand of long hair on his forehead fell down his sideburns, making his face even paler.

He raised his eyes and saw Qing Ling, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were still dark and deep, the temperament of the whole person was cold and blurry, and there was a bit of loneliness in the nobility.

Qing Ling's feet paused, and his heart was about to jump again.

Mu Chen propped himself up, as if he wanted to stand up.

Qing Ling hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Don't move!" ”

The two of them sat down on the couch and were very close to each other. Qing Ling smelled the breath of Lan Zhi on his body, and there was a kind of softness in her heart for the rest of her life, and while the whole person relaxed with relief, the various complex emotions in her chest made her eyes moist and hot.

She half-hung her head, not knowing what to say for a while, but she saw Mu Chen's slender fingers brushing her wrists, probing her internal breath with slightly cool fingertips.

Qing Ling's wrist stiffened, and he didn't dare to move, raised his eyes slightly, and peeked at Mu Chen's face from under his eyelashes.

Mu Chen probed Qing Ling's injuries, his eyebrows were calm and focused, and at the end, he said softly: "I heard Nian Ying say that you rescued me in front of everyone in the Gan Yuan Conference. ”

It is one thing to help him obtain the divine power of the Red Soul Bead, but it is another thing to betray his master in public and bear the name of a rebel. Curiosity and compassion alone can't do this.

Qing Ling lowered his eyes again, "I'm not alone. And also...... My junior brother. ”

"But if it weren't for you, Baili Fuyao wouldn't have helped."

After Mu Chen woke up, Nian Ying, who was in charge of taking care of him, explained what had happened in a few words. Nian Ying is a straight person, although the surface etiquette can still be taken into account, but because he firmly believes in his heart that it is a huge mistake for his own family to be involved, he inevitably complains in his words, and describes the whole thing as thrilling and difficult.

"Baili Fuyao?"

Qing Ling was stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize that this was the real name of his junior brother.

Don't mention him, as soon as he mentioned Qing Ling, he gritted his teeth in anger, "Xiao Qi, that guy helped out, where is it because of me?" It's all a conspiracy! ”

She snorted angrily and told Luo Yao about the "collusion" between Luo Yao and Jiuqiu, a look of disdain that was deceived by her relatives and bitter hatred, and her previous restraint and shyness were swept away, and she patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way not to let him succeed!" When you're feeling better, we'll find a chance to escape!" ”

Mu Chen stared at Qing Ling, listening to her chirping words, and a slightly apprehensive look appeared in her inky black eyes.

At first, in his eyes, she was just a curious little girl, simple, clear, lively and interesting, unlike anyone he knew before.

Later, he slowly saw many different hers.

Sometimes angry and resentful, sometimes eyebrows fluttering, sometimes stunned and sad, sometimes smiling like flowers......

Mu Chen never knew that a person's expression could be so vivid.

In his memory, his father was always cold and stern, and the palace people were always respectful and quiet. The courtiers may have very different personalities, but their words all exude flattering humility. A few half-brothers, always like to smile on a seemingly close but actually wary smile.

Perhaps in his life, there were people who really cried for him and laughed for him. But they all left him in the end.

The mother who has forgotten her appearance, the nurse who trusted but eventually betrayed him, the woman who once thought she loved her......

"And what about you," he said suddenly, interrupting Qing Ling, "why are you helping me?" ”

"Me?"

Qing Ling was asked by Mu Chen so abruptly, and his thinking was a little frozen for a while, and he felt that the answer was clear as if it was in front of him, but he didn't seem to know how to answer this question at all.

She raised her eyes to meet Mu Chen's gaze, only to feel that the deep gaze was both soft and blurry, sharp and probing, which made her feel disturbed.

Mu Chen continued: "When I was in Gan Yuan, my life hung by a thread, and you helped me, perhaps out of sympathy, I couldn't bear to see death and not save me. But I didn't expect that you would be able to take me out of Chongwu in the name of a rebel in front of everyone. ”

Qing Ling finally came back to his senses, "What's so hard about this?" If I don't take you away, you risk losing your life! ”

Mu Chen was silent for a while when he heard this, "That's good." Now that my life is safe, if you rush back to Chongwu and confess your mistake to the Holy Monarch, saying that you were coerced by me, and beg him for forgiveness, the matter may not be unsalvageable. ”

"But ......"

Qing Ling couldn't help but tense, "What if Luo Yao forces you to go to Jiuqiu?" Also, what if the pursuers sent by Mu Han come over? ”

Mu Chen looked away, and the corners of his lips slightly pulled the arc of self-mockery, "I was born as the eldest son of Emperor Chaoyan, and I was already destined to be unable to be stable in my life. Today, even if there is no Jiuqiu Luo clan and Mu Han's pursuers, there will still be other people who want to kill me. Such dangers will only exist forever in different forms. ”

He paused slightly, as if he was suppressing some emotion between his breaths, "When I gained power, there were many people who followed me, and after I lost power, there were very few people who were willing to stay by my side. The reason why they chose to remain loyal to me is because they believe that I have the ability and willingness to change the future of Chaoyan and Donglu, so as to help them realize their ideals and ambitions. ”

Mu Chen slowly turned his head and looked at Qing Ling, "What do you want to get by following me?" ”

"I ......"

Qing Ling was stunned.

After a while, her lips pursed a few times, and she stammered, "I, I didn't expect anything." Why do you ask? ”

She looked at him, trying to see the answer from those dark eyes, but the two pools were bottomless, containing secret and suppressed emotions, but they were rational and calm and unavoidable.

She couldn't help but think of the night she first met him at Bichen Peak, obviously looking at each other, but they were separated by thousands of distances, and they could never enter each other's worlds.........

"I'm sorry, maybe I was too direct." Mu Chen looked away, but didn't give up asking, "But if you want to work with me, I must know your plans." ”

Born in a big family, who can not understand the trading rules of various interests between power and conspiracy?

Those who are high will have their own ways to win people's hearts, either to help them in the snow, or to give them the opportunity to display their ambitions, and those who are low will also strive to cling to the forces that have the ability to give them a bright future. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a transaction of wealth, fame and power.

In the world in which he lives, there is no relationship that cannot be judged by interests.

But at that time, Qingling was just a young girl who had just come out of Chongwu, and how could she know how to use standards outside her own world to judge people's hearts?

She only felt a trace of sourness in her heart, mixed with pain, slowly pouring into her throat, blocking her speechless, almost suffocating.

I've done so many things and never asked myself why.

It's just that I don't want to see him hurt......

Qing Ling took a deep breath, trying to control his thoughts, but a kind of resentment mixed with grievances finally rushed into his brain. She stood up abruptly, her voice trembling slightly, "Okay, I'll tell you!" I worked so hard to save you and help you because I hope that one day, I can use your power to become the most powerful woman in the Eastern Continent! Are you satisfied? ”

After speaking, she turned around and pushed the door away, and ran away.
