Chapter 25: Questioning Mu Sheng
After Yueyan and the others left, Gu Feng saw that Du Qianzhi didn't seem to be quite right.
"Princess, but what happened?"
Du Qianzhi shook his head, his eyes dimmed, "It's nothing, let's rest early today, and after settling the victims tomorrow, we will leave for the palace." ”
Seeing that Du Qianzhi was willing to return to the palace with him, Gu Feng was overjoyed, "Okay, then you have a good rest today." ”
The reason why Du Qianzhi didn't say it was not that she believed what Yueyan said, but that she felt that since Yueyan was unwilling to admit that she was Du Ruosheng at this time, there must be something unspeakable.
She has always understood Ruosheng's temperament, if she is really alive, she will never leave them, just like the moon smoke will appear in Dongchuan now, which has already explained everything.
……
Chen Yi and the others didn't know how long they had been walking, but it was gradually getting night, and seeing that the disciples were a little tired, Chen Yi stopped.
"Don't go, just rest here."
The moon smoke also stopped, sat down under a big tree, and adjusted to rest.
Chen Yi ran to her side and sat down, he had been holding it in his heart for a long time, and now he finally had the opportunity to ask.
"Why are we in such a hurry, in fact, it is not impossible to stay for an extra day."
"Du Qianzhi saw my face and thought I was Du Ruosheng, if we stayed and she said it, how would you explain it?" Yueyan turned her head to look at him and asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it! It's good that she didn't say it just now, otherwise it would be really troublesome. Chen Yi looked happy.
Yueyan was helpless, and sure enough, he told him in vain, he didn't think about countermeasures at all.
"Ah Yi, I really doubt that you have a brain?" Yueyan couldn't help but scold.
"Okay, okay, in fact, I know that even if Du Qianzhi sees your face, she won't say it, because with her character, she will never act recklessly, besides, they will only know that Du Ruosheng is still alive sooner or later, but now is not the time."
"You! You understand everything again, don't you! Seeing Chen Yi's innocent look, Yueyan didn't have a problem with him.
"So, that's why you have to leave today?" Chen Yi still felt that Yueyan couldn't easily decide just because of such a simple reason.
"Along the way, have you noticed that in addition to us, there are also footprints of a group of people, this group is going in the direction of Dongchuan, if my judgment is correct, it should be someone sent by the Wan Dynasty, if we don't leave, we should meet them."
"How do you judge?"
"With Dongchuan's current situation, who else will come besides us, I'm afraid they are the only ones left, but I don't know why they came?"
"Could it be that Yan Qinghan really sent someone to help the disaster?"
"I don't know yet, by the way, since I've helped you, let's separate from each other again. I haven't investigated Master's affairs clearly, so I can't go back to Wanchao with you. ”
Yueyan had actually planned to leave for a long time, but she hadn't found a suitable opportunity yet, and now, it seemed quite suitable.
Seeing that Yueyan was about to leave, Chen Yi was a little reluctant.
"Do you want to go now? Why do you always like to come and come in a hurry? ”
"Ah Yi, are you reluctant to sister? Don't worry, we'll see you again, didn't I go here to help you find Master as soon as possible? ”
"Who is reluctant to be less narcissistic for you... Then you must be careful when you go..."Chen Yi's voice became smaller and smaller, and Yueyan could see that she was embarrassed by what she said.
"Okay, I know."
With that, Yueyan stood up and walked forward.
"Take care of yourself, be careful in everything, and there will be a period later."
Before he could go far, Yueyan turned around and shouted at Chen Yizhao.
This farewell, Chen Yi was indeed a little lost in his heart, as if he suddenly had nothing, and emptied for a while, "You too, take care, there will be a period later." Chen Yi didn't say these words, so he buried them in his heart.
……
In the palace of the Wan Dynasty, Yan Qinghan received a message from Jiang Lingzhou's flying pigeons.
"Dongchuan is different, so people are here." The note had these few words written in a short light.
Yan Qinghan threw the note into the candleshade and burned it to ashes.
Just before Jiang Lingzhou's news came, the spies he had sent to Dongchuan had just returned.
said that there was a mysterious woman who solved the matter of Dongchuan contracting the plague, and those who saw this woman's appearance said that the second princess of Dongchuan was back.
Yan Qinghan's eyebrows tightened, and he said in a low voice: "Ruosheng, are you really still alive......"
His heart was in a mess at the moment, the return of the spies, the letter from Jiang Lingzhou, if it was really as these said, Du Ruosheng appeared in Dongchuan, then the person who is now in his palace is really just similar to Du Ruosheng.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still got up and went to Huaqing Palace.
At this time, Mu Sheng didn't know anything, just waiting for the news from Xiaoyi.
After a while, the voice of a servant girl suddenly came from outside the palace.
"Slaves and maids see the emperor."
Mu Sheng was a little puzzled, what would happen if Yan Qinghan came to the palace to look for her so late.
Hearing the voice of the maidservant, Tan'er also walked out of the side hall and saw Yan Qinghan standing in the main hall, waiting with a solemn face.
"See the Emperor." Tan'er entered the temple and saluted.
"Where's Mu Sheng?" Yan Qing asked in a cold voice.
"Miss Mu should rest in the dormitory at this time."
As soon as Tan'er's words fell, Yan Qinghan walked straight to the direction of the dormitory, looking at Yan Qinghan's appearance, Tan'er guessed that something might have happened again.
Mu Sheng pierced the window paper with his hand, and when he saw Yan Qinghan coming in his direction, he hurriedly blew out the lamp and ran to the couch to pretend to sleep.
He really didn't have the heart to act in front of Yan Qinghan today, so he had to do that.
Yan Qinghan came to the front of the hall, although the lights in the hall had been turned off, he didn't stop, directly pushed open the door of the hall, and walked in.
And Mu Sheng in the inner hall could clearly hear Yan Qinghan approaching here step by step.
"Get up, I know you're not asleep." Until Yan Qing's cold voice came from his side, Mu Sheng knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, but listening to his voice today, it was very different from the past.
Although it was pretended, but it was also necessary to pretend to be thorough, Mu Sheng pretended to be woken up, rubbed his eyes, and said with a look of surprise: "Your Majesty, when did you come?" ”
Yan Qinghan ignored her and sat on the bed.
Mu Sheng looked at him a little embarrassed, but he couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark.
"Your Majesty, why don't we light the lamp?" Mu Sheng said, ready to get out of bed and light the lamp.
Who knew that before he came down, he was dragged over by Yan Qinghan, and his body lay directly into his arms.
Mu Sheng was taken aback by the sudden movement, and he was speechless for a moment.
But she secretly said in her heart: "What kind of medicine did he take wrong, what do you want to do at night!?" ”
"You still won't tell me who you really are?" Yan Qinghan's voice was cold, and the hand holding her tighter, and she felt a little painful to hold it.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about, I'm Mu Sheng! You've touched my wounds. ”
After speaking, Mu Sheng felt his hand loosen slightly.
"You're lying, you're Du Ruosheng, right?" Yan Qinghan asked again.
In the dark, neither of them could see whose face clearly, the night was even quieter and terrifying, the only thing that could be heard was two hearts that kept beating, Mu Sheng could hear that Yan Qinghan's heart was beating faster than himself.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you today, I said that I am Mu Sheng, not Du Ruosheng in the emperor's mouth!"
Mu Sheng's tone was a little impatient.
"Tan'er, light the lamp!" Yan Qinghan said loudly outside the hall
Soon Tan'er entered the hall, lit the lamp, and then saw the indescribable posture of the two.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates have retired first." Tan'er left this place of right and wrong as quickly as possible.
Mu Sheng couldn't wait to leave with Tan'er at this time, but he was helplessly held in Yan Qing's arms.
However, now she could see Yan Qinghan's appearance, he frowned, his face was solemn, and his eyes were very complicated when he looked at her.
Yan Qinghan stared at himself like this, his eyes never left him for a moment, Mu Sheng blinked, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, you better let me down first." Aren't you tired like this? ”
Then, Yan Qinghan let go of his hand, and Mu Sheng fell to the ground impartially.
Mu Sheng looked up at him, and scolded in his heart: "Inexplicable, cloudy and uncertain, sure enough, you will be like this for another hundred years!" ”
Yan Qinghan stood up, walked in front of her, and pulled her up.
"Say, are you Du Ruosheng or not!" It's another question, and Mu Sheng doesn't want to answer him anymore.
"Okay, since the emperor doesn't believe it, then I'll prove it to you."
As she spoke, she broke free of Yan Qinghan's hand holding her, pulled up the right cuff, revealing a crimson dark mark on her right wrist.
After Yan Qinghan saw this secret mark, he held her hand again, this mark, he had never seen it on Du Ruosheng's body, he looked up at the woman in front of him, yes, she and Du Ruosheng looked exactly the same, but the mark on her hand proved that she was not Du Ruosheng.
"Your Majesty, is it credible now? I have already said that I am not a priority, I am a disciple of Qingxiao, if the emperor still does not believe it, you can go to check, I believe that with the emperor's ability, it will not be impossible, is it a check. ”
Mu Sheng looked at Yan Qing's slightly frightened appearance, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, if it weren't for her inspiration, thinking of this method, it would be really difficult to do it today, I didn't expect that this dark pattern left by the connection of qi and veins could still play a role here.
However, looking at Yan Qinghan's appearance today, it just shows that Chen Yi's plan in Dongchuan is very smooth, he should have known about the appearance of another Du Ruosheng in Dongchuan, who would have thought that Chen Yi's method happened to get rid of his suspicion by mistake.
Regardless of whether she can really hide it from Yan Qinghan today, but in a short period of time, Yan Qinghan should not have doubts about her identity for the time being.
After hearing Mu Sheng's words, Yan Qinghan didn't continue to question, he turned around and walked out of the dormitory directly, leaving Mu Sheng standing there alone.
In fact, when he saw that mark, he felt disappointed in his heart, how he hoped that the person in his arms would be nervous and scared when he faced his questioning, if so, he could continue to lie to himself, she might be Du Ruosheng.
But now, she saw her indifferent and calm appearance, he couldn't continue to lie to himself, she was not her, the person he loved, and he didn't return to him.
The person in front of him now is just a person with Du Ruosheng's shadow, a person who is different from Du Ruosheng and can help himself......
After Yan Qinghan left, Mu Sheng blew out the lamp and lay quietly on the bed, facing Yan Qinghan's questioning just now, she was really afraid, she was afraid that she would hesitate, she would be noticed by him, she was afraid that her identity would be exposed.
She never thought that after such a long time, Yan Qinghan would react because she heard her news, or such a fierce reaction, she thought that in that person's heart, she had already turned into ashes, and it was not worth mentioning.
But now, why is he like this? Is it ashamed, or afraid, or ......
The fate of Yan Qinghan and Du Ruosheng will continue to move forward on this thorny road......
