The moonlight hangs, the bright Jue jade is cold, the ink is half a pot, and the world is eternal. Who is under the moon, looking at the red dust, since then for many years, the end of the journey in panic, and the single person.

Mu Ruoying turned her head, taking advantage of a ray of moonlight penetrating the window paper to hit Mu Ruoying's cold and calm eyes, Mu Ruoying felt that the moonlight in the dark night was also dazzling. Chu Lingran saw the thin and arrogant back in the dark night, it turned out to be her... But why her......

"You... Hear it all? ”

Chu Lingran's hands holding the sword were trembling, he tried his best to hold back his helplessness, he didn't want to believe his panic at the moment, that complex but sad emotion, in this way, Mu Ruoying may never believe that he has a sincere heart for her, and he and Mu Ruoying will never have a future... And now that King Qi is also by his side, Mu Ruoying must not be removed, if his identity with King Qi is revealed, the disaster of killing is inevitable, and his revenge has not yet been avenged, he can't... Could it be that he could only kill the person in front of him? Can he only kill the only person in this world who can give him a little warmth?

"If I say no, will you believe me?"

Mu Ruoying actually didn't have any fear of his sword, she heard the tremor in Chu Lingran's voice and the ups and downs of the shuriken, Mu Ruoying understood that he would not let him go, but fortunately... Chu Lingran's heart still hesitated for a moment. Mu Ruoying's long-cherished wish for her mother has also been fulfilled, and she has nothing to fear of death.

Some people are like that, struggling to survive and at the same time looking forward to death. On the contrary, it is true to live every day of life, to stay up yesterday, to consume tomorrow, not to live or die.

"Ying'er, you shouldn't have come."

Chu Lingran didn't believe it, but he actually hoped in his heart that Mu Ruoying would beg for mercy, or hope that he would say that if she didn't hear anything, then they would still be in a close relationship tomorrow, trusting each other but being a stranger, he was very satisfied, he had never asked for more.

"Presumably, this is the famous lord of Rong'an."

He Qiyu walked from the dim place to the moon shadow, revealing his whole face, Mu Ruoying squinted her eyes and saw He Qiyu's appearance clearly, sure enough, the capital was wearing His Royal Highness King Qi of He Kingdom, and his face was better than that of countless people in the world. Now it seems that he has some real names. He walked to the moonlight, not for anything else, but to make Chu Lingran and Mu Ruoying have no way to retreat, and Chu Lingran will never be soft-hearted now.

"His Royal Highness King Qi is... It's better to be famous than to meet, and the outside world is not true. ”

It is rumored that King Qi has no intention of courting, is gentle, lonely as the moonlight, and as soft and delicate as the spring breeze. Now it seems that he is like a drop of spring water in an autumn night, biting cold.

"The lord of Rong'an is exactly as I thought, and women should be like this."

I'm afraid what he wants to say is not Mu Ruoying's intelligence and appearance, but the foxy means that are good at scheming and stealing people's souls, King Qi's words are to remind Chu Lingran that he shouldn't hesitate, he should do it. Their plans must not be undermined in any way by the appearance of a woman.

Mu Ruoying is fearless in life and death, but she doesn't want to be a victim in a man's calculations and strategies, she must not die so cowardly and selflessly, even under Chu Lingran's sword. Mu Ruoying was thinking, what is the relationship between Mu Mansion and the young general in front of her, why Chu Lingran, who is only twenty-two years old, is so Mu Jinghong, He Qiyu hates this dynasty, she already knows it in her heart, but is Chu Lingran's identity really just like this on the surface now?

"If I say, Mu Ruoying is not from Mu Mansion?"

Chu Lingran was silent in the conversation between Mu Ruoying and He Qiyu, Mu Ruoying could feel his inner struggle, but Mu Ruoying knew in her heart that her short-term relationship with Chu Lingran was not enough to support the trust between him and Mu Ruoying, and to survive, she could only make Chu Lingran believe that she was of use to him.

"Oh? What does that mean? ”

He Qiyu has never been out in the palace, he only heard Chu Lingran say that Mu Ruoying hated the mother of the Mu Mansion, which is understandable, Mu Ruoying's biological mother was killed by He Xiyou. But Mu Ruoying is surnamed Mu after all, she and Mu Jinghong are flesh-and-blood parents, and she will never break off contact with Chu Lingran because of her short time with Chu Lingran.

"That year, Mu Jinghong was also there."

Mu Ruoying looked at Chu Lingran's eyes and said this, she didn't have the slightest element of acting, she just blurted out the deepest hatred and unforgiveness for Mu Jinghong in her heart. She wanted Chu Lingran to understand that their plan would never be broken because of what Mu Ruoying heard today, and even the Lord of Rong'an could help them.

"That's also possible, Ling Ran, that person from Mu Mansion, has never been a person who cares about family affection."

He Qiyu thought for a long time, and seemed to have figured out the usefulness of Mu Ruoying, so he pressed Chu Lingran's sword with his hand, Mu Ruoying didn't know how much this scheming man believed in herself, but this matter was half-true, she herself knew the life and death of Mu Fu, and when it came to the most critical moment, she might not be ruthless. But he finally persuaded Chu Lingran, and Mu Ruoying's life was saved. Mu Ruoying heard the breathing sound of the person beside her, and only then did she react, since the moment Chu Lingran's sword was on Mu Ruoying's neck, Chu Lingran held her breath, knowing that now, Chu Lingran breathed a sigh of relief. But so what? Mu Ruoying laughed at herself, is it because of this that you want to thank someone who wants to take your life? He exchanged his fake intentions for his sincere trick, and Mu Ruoying didn't want to believe it anymore.

"Ying'er, now that the war is tight, do you want to follow me?"

Chu Lingran didn't believe Mu Ruoying much after all, and now that she was given a life, what she wanted was to monitor Mu Ruoying's movements all the time, Mu Ruoying would never flatter Chu Lingran because of a life.

"Although General Chu's words are good, in fact, he wants to accept me to serve you in your camp, so there is no need. I will take what you need, and I have never had any interest in the world, but you have to give me a corner of the country, so that my people can live and work in peace and contentment. Here, I wish General Chu in advance to take revenge and praise the people. ”

This is a treaty to cede land and feudal marquis, Mu Ruoying is so calculated, how can people be subservient. If one day, Chu Lingran wins, she will leave the capital, leaving everything that reminds her of the past. Leaving that terrible man who has only the same country as Mu Jinghong in her heart, she will never become the second He Xiyou, and no amount of love will be there. There she is no longer the lord of Rong'an, nor is she Mu Ruoying who avenges her mother, she only wants to support one side of the people and one side of the people by herself. She wants to use her ability to protect the person she loves, and Chu Lingran, after all, she can't love and can't afford to be an existence......

"Once the covenant is established, there is no obstacle in all mountains."

Chu Lingran withdrew his sword from the scabbard, he wanted to hold Mu Ruoying's trembling shoulders, how piercing the sound of General Chu was. Chu Lingran wanted to tell her that he would never hurt her again. But Mu Ruoying escaped after all, the hearts of the people and the warm blood finally cooled down, no matter whether this earthly world is sincere, it is only about winning or losing. In the past, they tested each other, Mu Ruoying lost an inch of people's hearts, and now that Mu Ruoying is cooperating with Chu Lingran, she will never give herself to others again, and she no longer needs any warmth from Chu Lingran.

Chu Lingran and He Qiyu finally let Mu Ruoying go, and she relieved her expression, and she realized that she had arrived in front of the Mu Mansion. Mu Ruoying looked at the plaque of Mu Mansion, thinking that Mu Jinghong's future life and death were in his hands, and no matter how much he hated Mu Ruoying, he couldn't help his mother's love for him. Myself... Do you really want to kill your mother's beloved with your own hands? When Huangquan meets in the future, will his mother deny him? Mu Ruoying was a little distracted, and her heart was not as invincible as she thought.

"Master, you're back, today the master came to look for you, I said you fell asleep, and his face was a little unsightly."

Mu Ruoying didn't want to mention Mu Jinghong's name again, she really couldn't cope with it tonight, the changes in Mu Mansion and the dark abyss, she just wanted to be quiet alone, but even so, Mu Jinghong still appeared in her mind, reminding herself over and over again that she was going to push Mu Jinghong to the treacherous hell step by step, accompanied by the entire Mu Mansion.

"Daddy, are you looking for me?"

Mu Ruoying pretended to have just woken up and looked a little sleepy-eyed, looking at Mu Jinghong with an innocent face. Mu Ruoying guessed seven or eight times out of ten, Mu Jinghong would never come to Mu Ruoying to cultivate the relationship between father and daughter when she had nothing to do, she and Mu Jinghong just used it again and again.

"In the past few days, the emperor has made a lot of trouble in the court for some remote things, and my father thinks that since you are the lord of the country, you are already worried about the emperor, and I think about it with a few old ministers, so it is better to marry him, but there are too few princesses of the right age......"

Mu Ruoying really didn't expect Mu Jinghong to want to send herself to a remote and small country, she thought that Mu Jinghong was just jealous of the rights in Mu Ruoying's hands, Mu Jinghong was a father, and who didn't know about the barbarians in the east? He just wants the power in his own hands, and he wants to sacrifice even his daughter's life. This is just a pretext, if He Guo really wants to marry, it will not be the turn of a royal daughter who holds real power, and there are many candidates.

Mu Jinghong is forcing Mu Ruoying to make the last choice, he has never been a father, never a husband, and never a person. Mu Ruoying sneered, she quietly listened to Mu Jinghong's calculations, as if she was listening to other people's stories, there was no fluctuation in her heart, how could she give such a naïve impression and allow Chu Lingran and Mu Jinghong to use herself again and again?

"Daddy, do you know that when the main mother dies, why is Daddy sad?"

Mu Ruoying's voice was ethereal, without a trace of sadness, she was indeed dead to Mu Jinghong, she had never expected Mu Jinghong, and she would not be disappointed. Mu Jinghong didn't speak, just held the kettle in his hand, thinking about how to remove the power from Mu Ruoying's hands and take it for himself.

"Because Daddy's rights are broken, a plaything is gone, ordinary people will be sad, your wife is gone, but Daddy is fine, which can only prove that Daddy is not an ordinary person, Daddy's imperial road, always used to using family members as bargaining chips. But don't forget, I'm no longer the original Mu Ruoying, I'm on the right side, in charge of the world's gold and silver, and your tea house and gambling house killer need someone to provide it. ”

Mu Ruoying sat on Mu Jinghong's right side, poured a cup of tea and tasted it by herself, the future conspiracy and calculation was just Mu Jinghong's own fault today, no wonder others. In the past, she was used to Mu Jinghong sitting, and Mu Ruoying stood and listened to him, the person in charge of the house, but Mu Mansion and this world are now not the only ones in charge.

"You... How did you become such a femme fatale now? You are a girl, what is the use of powering and wealth to splash the sky? When you arrive in Dongyi, you can also be a country. ”

"What's my use, Daddy doesn't need to worry about it, you'll know later."

Mu Jinghong sat in the house and thought about Mu Ruoying's words today, Mu Ruoying knew very well that he had no parental affection for him, but she was the most obedient in this family in the past, and now her eyes are no different from those of a tiger and a wolf, Mu Ruoying gave Mu Jinghong the feeling that one day in the future, Mu Ruoying would step on him to climb to the top. Mu Ruoying has collected a lot of party disputes and palace secrets between the court in recent days, and if she goes to the court, she will definitely receive support. With such a calculation, if Mu Jinghong hadn't cultivated it since she was a child, how could she learn the means to manipulate people's hearts? In this way, Mu Jinghong shouldn't ask himself why he became what he is now, isn't it that He Xiyou and Mu Jinghong pushed themselves up the cliff step by step, and maybe they cherish that life after a hundred deaths......

Mu Ruoying returned to her bed, only to find two lines of tears on her face, she didn't know whether it was Chu Lingran's "sincerity" or Mu Jinghong's "father's love" that she was crying, she finally felt sorry for her mother, from now on, Mu Ruoying would only think about herself, Mu Mansion up and down, life and death. Between the battle between Mu Jinghong and Chu Lingran, maybe cooperating with Chu Lingran was her best choice.

The morning sun dewed, everything woke up, Chu Lingran sat on the couch all night and didn't sleep, he didn't know how deep his feelings for Mu Ruoying were in his heart, he only knew that Mu Ruoying controlled his will, maybe even if Mu Ruoying didn't choose to cooperate with him tonight, he would let her go, he knew from the moment he saw the hurt in her eyes, he knew that he would never hurt her in the slightest. But although Mu Ruoying's life was saved, her heart would never belong to Chu Lingran in the future, he clearly saw that when Mu Ruoying turned to leave, she was as unfamiliar with Chu Lingran as she was when she met for the first time, and some people, once she missed it, her heart would be closed forever.

Before He Qiyu returned to the palace, he whispered to Chu Lingran's ear and said to him: "I knew that you couldn't do it, your heart was already full of her." Chu Lingran didn't know how to respond to He Qiyu's insight, he didn't have many people close to him, only He Qiyu understood his difficulty the most, and how much hatred ordinary people couldn't bear was borne by the young man.

He may be true... fell in love with Mu Ruoying, but didn't know.
