Chapter 192: How can you live up to it
"Qingmu, don't say it yet, wait until I finish speaking, and then you can decide whether to forgive me." Muzi said.
When Qing Mu heard his words, he slowly lowered his head and fell silent.
"It's like this, everything that used to happen, I remember, we had a good time together. In fact, within a few days of that injury, I had regained my memory. ”
"It's just that I found out that we were all being followed by unknown people, and I was worried that you might be in danger, so I didn't explain all this to you for a long time, and I just wanted to protect you secretly!" Muzi continued.
Qing Mu nodded and spoke: "I feel it, every time there is danger, I always feel that there are familiar people around!" ”
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Mu Qi again, pondered for a moment, and asked expectantly: "Lian Heng, there is one thing, I have been holding it in my heart for a long time, and you can confide in me frankly today, then I will ask you, you must answer me honestly!" ”
Mu Qi nodded and said, "You ask, as long as I know, I will tell you!" ”
In this situation, under the dim moonlight, it was difficult to see people's expressions clearly, and after hesitating again and again, Qing Mu resolutely decided to ask the question he had always wanted to ask.
Her heart was pounding, her face was flushed, she raised her head to look at Mu Qi, and asked in a low voice, "Wang Fuzhong...... The man in the dress who saved my life twice...... Isn't it you? ”
Mu Qi listened to Qing Mu's question, slowly lowered his head, thought for a moment, and whispered: "All along, I want to see you all the time, so I often sneak into the palace to see you." ”
At that time, I saw that you were in danger, so I did not hesitate to come to the rescue, and I didn't tell you in advance that it was my fault.
Qing Mu listened to it, and was overjoyed, a little excited: "It turns out that it's really you, Mu Qi, thank you!" ”
"I'm sorry! There are many things that I did not tell you in advance, which caused a lot of misunderstandings and made you sad, and here I formally apologize to you. Muzi said apologetically.
Qing Mu was very happy, he had already put the previous misunderstanding and sadness behind him, stretched out his little hand to pull Mu Qi, and smiled: "It's okay, as long as you know that you are a man in Qingyi." ”
"Qingmu, but don't thank you like this between us, you don't have to be polite to me, how can I bear to let you be hurt a little!" Mu Qi looked at Qing Mu and said again.
"Hmmm! Now it's okay, it turns out that Lian Heng has always been by my side, but Qing Mu doesn't know. ”
Qing Mu was in a happy mood, looked at Mu Qi for a moment, and then asked: "By the way, Lian Heng, last time I heard the doctor say that the poison in me can only be solved by Mr. He's elixir, but then you took out the antidote and helped me detoxify, what is going on?" ”
Is it possible that you have something to do with Mr. Tsuru?
Mu Qi hesitated for a moment and replied: "This is not the time yet, when the time comes, I promise to give you a satisfactory answer!" ”
"Okay!" Qing Mu said with a little loss, lowered his head and thought for a while, and teased with a smile: "I haven't said it yet, it turns out that you still have this hobby, and you sneaked into the palace quietly without my knowledge!" ”
"Well, this ...... This ......" Mu Qi was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he looked at Qing Mu, thinking about it for a long time, thinking of her unflinching expression, and her confidence in handling things without being surprised.
Inadvertently, I was deeply attracted, and I always felt that I was with her, and my heart was always full of excitement and some inexplicable heartbeat.
Mu Qi stood up, as if he wanted to say something again, and suddenly, a voice came from behind, "Qingmu, are you here?" ”
When Qing Mu had a cordial conversation with Mu Qi just now, he also recalled the man in Qingyi he saw that day, and today, he finally learned that this man was Lian Heng, and his heart was full of happiness, but also a little angry that he couldn't tell him earlier.
However, the expression on his face was full of shyness, however, in the dim moonlight, Mu Qi did not notice all this change.
Mu Qi gently pinched Qing Mu with his hand, signaling someone to call her, at this time, Qing Mu woke up and hurriedly responded: "Brother, I'm here!" ”
Before the words fell, Qing Lun had already walked in front of him, looked at the two holding hands suspiciously, and asked, "Qing Mu, you and the prince ......?"
Qing Muden woke up in shock, didn't feel that his face was like a fire, and immediately let go of Mu Qi, who was holding tightly, and shook his head: "No...... Nothing ......."
raised his head and turned to look at Qing Lun, and asked again: "Brother, why did it take so long for you to come over, even Heng has already woken up!" ”
Qing Lun was taken aback again, and deliberately asked: "Lian Heng, oops!" It's so kind! ”
"Brother...... If you talk nonsense, I will ignore you! Hum! Qing Mu dragged a long nasal voice, shook Qing Lun's arm, and said indignantly.
"Good! Good! It's not okay if my brother doesn't say it! Qinglun smiled and stepped forward and bowed to the prince, "Wangfu Qinglun, meet His Royal Highness the prince!" ”
Mu Qi had just been staring at Qing Mu's series of expressions, and he didn't notice Qing Lun at all, and suddenly heard Qing Lun come forward to greet him, and he was puzzled: "Oh, General Qing doesn't need to be polite, this king is no longer in the way." ”
Qing Lun nodded, glanced at Qing Mu beside him again, and asked, "Qing Mu, do you have anything else to say, if it's inconvenient, my brother can avoid it!" ”
"Humph! Brother, I ignore you, I'll go see the emperor's uncle, you take care of yourself! After Qing Mu finished speaking, he ran away quickly.
Qing Lun suddenly saw Qing Mu leaving, blurted out: "Qing Mu ......" said, ran to her side quickly, grabbed her, and said urgently: "Qing Mu, don't be angry, it's my brother who is not good, I can't say it!" ”
Don't go, we'll go back to the palace in a while!"
Qing Mu still seemed to be a little shy, putting on an angry and cute expression, but Mu Qi saw it in his eyes, but he smiled and said nothing.
However, at this moment, Qing Mu is happy in his heart, and now he can be sure that this man in Qingyi who has been paying attention to him is Mu Qi, and everything that was guessed before is true, and it is a great opportunity.
If he joins forces with the crown prince, then King Yun will definitely not be an opponent, and the old feud in the previous life can be avenged.
Mu Qi looked at Qing Mu and remembered that day when he saw Qing Mu in distress, he wanted to rescue him immediately, but he saw her so skillfully avoiding the assassin, as if she was the woman in her dream.
I remembered that the master had said that the woman in my dream was my marriage, so I couldn't help but take her away at that time, and later after the trip to Liangcheng, I deepened the relationship with her, and it seemed that I didn't see her for a day.
However, after the trip to Liangcheng, he also got another proof, that is, the past and present lives described by the cousin of his uncle's family, although Mu Qi had a thousand reasons not to believe it in his heart, but now it seems that all this is true.
Thinking of this, he secretly made up his mind in his heart that he would not let Qing Mu suffer any more harm, even if he offended some people or some forces for this.
Qing Lun looked at the prince whose eyes never left Qing Mu for a moment, and he was even more convinced that there was something greasy between Qing Mu and the prince.
It's just that he didn't show it on his face, and said in his mouth: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's not early, my sister and I will go back first, and you should go home early!" ”
Mu Qi turned his eyes to Qinglun suspiciously, and said casually: "Are you leaving?" ”
Qing Mu smiled: "Yes! Oh, yes! Lord Luo, it's getting late, so you'd better go home as soon as possible. ”
Mu Qi suddenly heard the change in Qing Mu's title, and smiled: "Qing Mu, let's call me Lian Heng in the future, if you call me like this, goosebumps all over your body will stand up!" ”
"Humph! Think beautifully! Qing Mu smiled.
Mu Qi glanced at Qing Mu again, slowly walked to her side, and whispered: "Qing Mu, pay attention to the people around you, especially the mother and son!" ”
Qing Mu was startled, raised his head and looked at Mu Qi suspiciously, feeling very familiar, it seemed that someone reminded him so in his dream, but he couldn't see that person's face clearly, so he wondered in his heart, how did he feel that this was so familiar?
Seeing Qing Mu's doubts, Mu Qi smiled in a low voice, "Well, in the family of the powerful, there is always a fight more or less, Qing Mu, remember to protect yourself, you can come to me if you have anything." ”
Qing Mu nodded and smiled: "Okay, I know!" ”
Qing Lun walked out of the pavilion and put Qing Mu's coat on her, "Qing Mu, how is it, are you done whispering?" Can you go home now? ”
Mu Qi looked at the two who were about to leave, and pondered for a moment, "General Qing, why don't you let this king be the east tomorrow, how about inviting the two of you to get together in Yufeng Tower?" ”
Before Qing Lun could speak, Qing Mu chuckled, "It turned out that the prince was kind, then how can we live up to it!" When he heard what Qing Mu said, he shook his head helplessly, "Okay, it's up to the prince." ”
"Excellent! In this way, it is set at three o'clock tomorrow, we are chatting heart-to-heart, while trying the food of the Jade Phoenix Tower, I heard that it is a must in the capital, but this king has not tasted it until today. Muzi said with a smile.
"Food?" Qing Mu asked suspiciously, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then asked, "Can I take Hongluo with me, this girl likes delicious food the most!" ”
"Absolutely! Welcome! Muzi replied immediately.
"Okay, Qingmu, it's time to go back, it's too late to go back, and I'm going to be angry when my dad sees it!" Qing Lun persuaded.
Qing Mu glanced at Mu Qi, looked reluctant, and said, "Okay." ”
Qing Lun saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help thinking about the cause and effect, as well as the familiar figure and familiar expression of the prince, he didn't feel very familiar, and his heart was full of doubts.
After Qinglun said goodbye to Mu Qi, he and Qing Mu went out of the imperial garden, left the palace from the east gate, and went to the palace.
Qingmu was in a happy mood along the way, very happy, strolling through the streets of Los Angeles, it was the dead of night at this time, humming a little song briskly, and sprinkled with joy.
She remembered today's events, not only the emperor's uncle's birthday, but also a harvest day for herself, not only worshipping Concubine Rong as her mother, but also unraveling the complex that had been buried in her heart for a long time.
What made her even happier was that Lian Heng had always been by her side, and every time she thought of this, her heart was filled with a strong warmth, and her face was full of happy smiles.
Qing Lun, who had been following Qing Mu, was still in the dark, stepped forward, and asked suspiciously: "Qing Mu, how can you be so happy, I haven't seen you with such a beautiful smile for a long time, my brother forgot that Qing Mu could smile so brightly!" ”
"Of course, Qing Muke is happy today! Brother, you know what? Qing Mu asked with a smile.
"What do I know? Qingmu, don't you tell your brother! Qing Lun said a little unhappily.
Qing Mu smiled and nodded, "Brother, do you know?" It turns out that all along, it was the prince who saved Qing Mu twice! ”
Qing Lun was a little surprised, but he also confirmed his guess, and said: "Hmm! I see! No wonder you're so happy! ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! It turned out that the man in the dress was Lian Heng! She smiled like a flower and whispered.
Qinglun deliberately quipped: "Oops! My admiration, did you decide to make a personal promise! ”
"Brother, you're here again! We're just friends! Qing Mu explained with a smile.
"Hmmm! It turned out to be just a friend, so my brother can help you think about it! Qinglun said solemnly.
Qing Mu had some doubts in his heart, so he asked, "Brother, what do you want to think?" ”
"Qing Mu has also grown up, so I have to find a good family and a good home!" Qing Lun said with a straight look.
"Humph! Brother, if you talk nonsense, I won't pay attention to you anymore! Qing Mu pursed his lips and said angrily, after speaking, he quickly ran to the palace, no longer caring about Qing Lun behind.
Qing Lun looked at Qing Mu who ran away, his eyes were full of smiles, if the prince really likes Qing Mu, it is also a good destination for her, and her mother knows everything, and she should be very satisfied with this son-in-law!
After Qinglun and Qingmu left, only Mu Qi was left alone in the imperial garden, and when the emperor went to Yuchen Palace, he saw Lian Heng who had been standing there in a daze, so he deliberately raised his voice: "Heng'er, what are you still looking at, people have already left!" ”
When Mu Qi heard the voice, his heart was suddenly startled, and when he heard a familiar voice, he let go of his vigilance in his heart, turned around and saw that his father was walking towards this side, so he stepped forward and bowed, "Father, my son wishes you good fortune, blessing to the world, and reputation in the world!" ”
The emperor smiled faintly, "Okay!" Heng'er, get up! How's that, sobered up? ”
"Hmmm! Much better! Muzi replied.
The emperor looked at Mu Qi and thought for a while, and then said, "I don't think so, right?" People are awake, but the soul is muddy, and it is still in a dream, is it that the soul has been taken away by someone? ”
Mu Qi looked at his father, slightly surprised, and thought: Could it be that his father has already learned about the matter between himself and Qingmu. Thinking of this, he explained: "Father, don't listen to other people's nonsense, it's nothing, Qingmu and I are just friends!" ”
"Just friends! Father knows! It's just a friend......" The emperor gently touched his chin with his hand and muttered in a low voice. Father-in-law De, who was standing behind him, covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from laughing.
Mu Qi glared at Gonggong De, "Father, it's not early, Heng'er has left first, and you can rest early!" ”
"Okay, there you go!" The emperor said.
The next morning, Qing Mu got up early and asked Hong Luo to help dress up. Hong Luo felt a little strange, walked in with a wooden basin, and asked in surprise: "County Lord, where are you going?" ”
"Yes! But I've heard that it's all delicious! All kinds of pastries are available! Qing Mu said with a grin.
"Where is it? Can you take Hongluo with you? Hong Luo asked happily.
"Uh-huh! Look at your performance! Behave well, and the lord of this county will take you there! Qing Mu continued to joke.
When Hong Luo heard that Qing Muken was taking him forward, he instantly smiled and was happy: "Hong Luo must be obedient, the county lord has an order, and he will obey it!" ”
"Huh! So well-behaved! It's a rarity! Qing Mu said with a straight face.
"No! Nope! Hong Luo has always been very well-behaved, but he has never disobeyed the county lord! Hong Luo hurriedly explained.
"Really...... Target...... Is it? Qing Mu deliberately lengthened his voice and sniffed.
Hong Luo nodded again and again, put the wooden basin on the dresser, walked to Qing Mu's side, helped her put down the tightly tied hair, and smiled: "Of course!" County Lord, you don't know that as long as there is something delicious anywhere, Hongluo is willing to go! ”
Qing Mu held Hong Luo's little hand that was helping her comb her hair, and smiled: "Okay, I'm afraid of you, after a while, we'll set off!" ”
"Where the hell are you going?" Hong Luo slowly let go of your Qingmu's hand, raised his head to look at her, and asked suspiciously.
Qing Mu pretended to be mysterious and said: "I won't tell you!" You'll know when you arrive! ”
"Humph! If you don't say it, don't say it, the gods are mysterious, I'll ask the world later! Hong Luo pouted and said a little angrily.
"Brother, is he up?" Qing Mu asked.
Hong Luo continued to help Qing Mu comb her hair, and said, "Hmm! I saw that Shizi got up very early, as if he had gone to the barracks, but soon he came back again, and I don't know what happened? ”
"No wonder! You'll find out in a moment! Qing Mu heard Hong Luo's words and said with a smile.
"Is there an important guest who is so mysterious!" Hong Luo's heart was full of curiosity, and he tried to ask again.
Qing Mu shook his head slowly, and Hong Luo was anxious: "County Lord, don't move, Hong Luo is helping you make up!" ”
"Didn't you say it, you'll know in a while, and keep it secret for the time being!" Qing Mu sat there quietly, no longer moving, still unyielding in his mouth, without the slightest intention of relenting.
"Alright! All right! ”
About a quarter of an hour later, Hong Luo helped Qing Mu finish dressing up, and the two walked out of the Yayuan together, Qing Lun was already waiting at the door, Hong Luo was a little confused, so he walked to Qing Lun's side and asked, "Shizi, where are we going?" ”
Qing Lun glanced at Qing Mu, as if she was glaring at herself, but she ignored it, and resolutely spoke: "Isn't this going to the prince's banquet with Qing Mu?"
Hong Luo smiled like a flower, turned to look at Qing Mu, squinted his big eyes, and smiled: "County Lord, County Lord!" I know! Hee-hee! ”
Qing Mu walked over: "Brother, I didn't give you a hint just now, why did you still say it?" ”
Qing Lun was a little confused, looked down at Qing Mu, and was surprised: "Qing Mu, what's wrong, can't you say it?" ”
"No, no! It's all wrong, it's all wrong! Qing Mu was a little angry and a little bored, stomped his feet, and walked outside the palace.
Hong Luo was startled and followed closely. Qing Lun muttered in his heart, feeling a little strange, going to the prince's banquet, what can't be said, the friendship between gentlemen is above board, why hide it.
Actually, how did Qing Lun know that Qing Mu just wanted to surprise Hong Luo, and he wasn't really angry, so he just said it.
Qing Lun shook his head, as if he couldn't think of Qing, seeing that Qing Mu and Hong Luo had already walked out of the palace, Qing couldn't help but have a clear thought, and hurriedly followed.
Qing Mu and the other three of them, talking and laughing along the way, it didn't take long for her to forget the little episode just now, and it seemed that she was chattering and laughing in an instant, and the sound was even more beautiful than the oriole bird in the woods.
Qing Lun didn't know Qing in his heart, but he didn't know why his sister, who was still angry with him just now, in the blink of an eye, he was talking and laughing, walking behind the two, shaking his head lightly.
But for a general who has been leading troops to fight all year round, where does he know the thoughts of these little girls? For such a delicate girl, fickleness is the most basic law.
Qing Mu and Hong Luo walked in front hand in hand, but Qing Lun followed behind him with a blank face, just like that, the road was full of laughter and laughter.
Soon they arrived next to a restaurant in the center of Los Angeles, and a plaque on it was inscribed with three big characters: Jade Phoenix Building.
Hong Luo nodded and smiled: "This prince seems to be really good at picking places!" This Jade Phoenix House is the most famous restaurant in the capital, it is said that the dishes here, the whole Bolian country is the only one, there is no other semicolon, except here, you can't taste it anywhere! ”
"Woohoo! When it comes to eating, it seems that Hongluo has a lot of knowledge! Qing Mu smiled and praised.
Hong Luo grinned and said proudly, "That's!" County Lord, why don't you let Hongluo test you? ”
"Ask, I don't believe that the county lord will be defeated by you!" Qing Mu said a little unconvinced.
"Well, then Hongluo is welcome, the county lord, you are very good, the three words on this plaque, Yufeng Building, county lord, do you know who inscribed it?" Hong Luo asked with a smile.
Qing Mu looked up at the three words on the plaque, and at a glance, he felt that the handwriting was strong and powerful, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and he thought in his heart, Yufeng Tower is so famous, is this plaque inscribed by a famous calligrapher and painter?
I thought about it for a long time, but there was no answer.
Qing Mu looked up and saw Hong Luo, who was standing on the steps very proudly, and his heart was panicked, and he walked forward with a pout, "The county lord really can't see it, I don't know which calligraphy master's true handiwork?" ”
Before Hong Luo could answer, the words were picked up, only to hear a voice, "These three words are inscribed by the famous poet Xie Lingyun!" ”
