The depression in Mu Qianxia's chest only dissipated a little in the cynicism with the prince.

Walking in front of the prince, Mu Qianxia lowered his head aimlessly and continued to walk forward.

"Aunt Huang!" When Mu Qianxia heard this, his footsteps paused slightly, and he turned around.

I saw a man shaking a folding fan, smiling, and walking towards her slowly.

"The Four Princes?" Mu Qianxia raised her eyebrows.

The fourth prince walked in front of Mu Qianxia, Shi Shiran saluted, and said, "Aunt Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time, everything has been okay recently?"

Mu Qianxia nodded, "Hmm...... Not bad, isn't it? ”

"I heard that the emperor's aunt won the first place in the poetry meeting, and once again proved herself at her father's birthday banquet, and now she has the title of the first talented woman in the capital, which is really gratifying. It's just that Xiao Si didn't have the opportunity to see the demeanor of the imperial aunt, which is really regrettable. ”

"Huh." Mu Qianxia laughed dryly, "It's all an accident, an accident, nothing, nothing." ”

The fourth prince looked at her with a smile, his eyes were deep, which made Mu Qianxia feel like he had nowhere to hide, as if his secrets were all exposed in his gaze. The feeling frightened her. It seems that this fourth prince is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface.

Mu Qianxia looked away and asked casually, "How are you lately, why haven't I seen you all this time?"

"Aunt Huang, have you forgotten that Xiao Si has always rarely been in the capital. Xiaosi left the imperial city since he was a child, apprenticed to learn art, and is now walking in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Oh~, that's it. There have been so many things that have happened lately that I can't remember them for a while, I can't remember them clearly. Hehe. Mu Qianxia laughed embarrassedly twice.

"When I was not born, the fortune teller said that I was born an ominous person, and I killed my mother as soon as I was born, and there were frequent major disasters in the country that year, so my father didn't like me very much since I was a child, and felt that I was the source of all this. The princes in the palace united to bully me, and every time the imperial aunt stepped forward to protect me, and even told my father to let me go out of the palace to study, so I am now here. For me, Aunt Huang is a mother-like existence, and she is the most important person in Xiaosi's life. ”

Mu Qianxia's heart was quite shaken, it seemed that this fourth prince had a very difficult time, when he said this, his heart was definitely far less light than the light wind on the surface. Unexpectedly, the original owner and him still have such a deep relationship. It seems that I will be more cautious in my dealings with him in the future.

"So, Aunt Huang, no matter what happens, you have to tell Xiao Si that you must not carry it alone. Now that the fourth child has grown up, he can already protect the imperial aunt. ”

"Okay."

Although she already knows the relationship between the fourth prince in front of her and the original owner, and looking at his expression, what she said should be true, but she will not trust him, but will be more careful, if he knows that the original owner is dead, he will definitely take revenge, and she may be the first person to be used for the knife.

"By the way, that Gu Gongzi in the Imperial Aunt's Mansion is not simple at all, even I can't see through it, so the Imperial Aunt must be careful and don't be confused by his appearance."

Confused by appearances......

Could it be that he is the kind of superficial person in his eyes? Don't look inside, just look at the face?

Well, she really is.

"Okay, I'll be careful."

"By the way, how long do you plan to stay in Beijing this time?"

"About a month."

"Hmm."

"Aunt Huang, will the fourth send you home?"

"No need, I want to walk by myself."

"Oh well. Be careful on the road. ”

"Hmm."

The fourth prince looked at Mu Qianxia's departing back, his face no longer had the smile he had before, and his eyes were deep and complicated. Was it his delusion? Why do you feel that Aunt Huang is completely different from before, as if she has changed a person.

…………

Leaving Chen's Mansion, Mu Qianxia walked alone on the street for a long time before coming to the outside of Dali Temple.

Dali Siqing is notoriously fair, and even a person like her, who has not been in this world for a long time and basically does not understand the government, knows it. If you throw the account book to Dali Temple, you will definitely be able to let the imperial brother see it......

…………

The night is getting deeper.

Mu Qianxia took a bath and felt hungry, only to realize that she hadn't eaten much at the banquet in the Chen Mansion, thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on her face.

She summoned Ruri in and told her to go out and get something to eat.

When the door was pushed open, she subconsciously turned her head, thinking it was glass, but when she looked up, she saw Gu Li against the moonlight, with a long jade body, and a moon-white robe stained red with blood.

Her eyes stinged, "You're back." Is it a mistake, your Qingquan Pavilion is not here. Besides, this princess's boudoir is something you can enter casually. ”

Gu Li walked towards her with long legs, "It's not like I haven't been in the princess's boudoir." I asked Ruri, and she said you haven't slept yet. ”

"Why didn't the princess wait for me to come back?"

Mu Qianxia didn't answer him, just looked at the dazzling red on his robe in a daze, "Your clothes are dirty." ”

Mu Qianxia lowered her eyes, and when the lightest moon white was dyed with the most gorgeous red, the visual impact was extraordinarily clear.

His chest subconsciously shook and frowned slightly, "I accidentally splashed it when I drew the knife." ”

Mu Qianxia's eyes gave birth to a little cold smile, and it seemed to be lost, "It turned out to be accidental, it's a pity to have such a good piece of clothing." ”

The dress on Gu Li's body was specially made for him by the embroidery lady in Mu Qianxia's mansion, but the fabrics, styles, and patterns were all personally selected by her, and she even participated in many places. She didn't believe this, Gu Li didn't know.

Sometimes, Mu Qianxia even felt that Gu Li's status in her mansion was higher than her. Anything that happened in the house, Gu Li seemed to know, even more than her.

In fact, when she saw Gu Li wearing this dress this morning, she said that she was unhappy and excited, it was all fake, and she even felt very happy. Because when she used to read novels, she said that when the person she liked wore the clothes she made, her heart was full of happiness and satisfaction, she didn't understand it at the time, but when Gu Li wore it on her body, she suddenly understood that feeling.

Mu Qianxia stared at the blood stains, as if saying to herself: "I originally liked this dress, but I didn't expect it to get dirty the first time I wore it, it's a pity."

Gu Li's eyebrows suddenly frowned deeper because of Mu Qianxia's words.

The sporadic and slighter pity at the beginning seemed to become more pity with Mu Qianxia's words.

Gu Li felt for the first time that it was such a pity to stain a piece of clothing.

Gu Li's Adam's apple rolled, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out and rub her hair, but from his current angle, he couldn't reach out and touch the top of her head, he said in a low voice: "Princess, don't worry, it will be cleaned, it will really be clean." ”

Mu Qianxia nodded, "Hmm." ”

His tone softened inexplicably, "I didn't mean to. ”

"I know, how can anyone deliberately spill blood on themselves?"

“……”

If Mu Qianxia is noisy, he will be able to find a way to resolve it. But now she looked like she was nothing, so that he didn't even know what to say.

Gu Li's hands clenched slightly unconsciously, "Since you came back so early, why hasn't the princess slept yet?" ”

Mu Qianxia smiled, "I just finished washing up and was about to sleep." ”

After saying that, he got up and walked to the big bed in the inner room, lay down, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

But at this moment, Liuli came over with the snack she had just taken from the kitchen, "Princess, the snack you want is here!" Eat it! ”

Mu Qianxia, "........." Liuli didn't come back early, didn't come back late, but she came back at this point, was she sent by God to dismantle her platform? Don't you want to be so fast in the face!

Gu Li, "......"

Liuli didn't find Mu Qianxia anywhere, and finally saw that she was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and was shocked at the moment, "Childe, is the princess asleep?" Liuli muttered to herself, "Strange, didn't the princess just say that she was very hungry and didn't eat enough in the Chen Mansion?" Why do you say that you will sleep now? ”

"You put your things down, let's go out first."

"Yes!"

Ruri suddenly realized that she seemed to have made some unspeakable mistake, and hurriedly turned around and ran out.

Gu Li walked to the side of the bed with the plate of pastries, looked at Mu Qianxia who turned over and planned to continue sleeping, he pursed his lips, tried to pull her up, and said softly: "Childe, get up and eat something, being hungry is not good for your stomach, don't gamble with me with your body."

Mu Qianxia turned his back to him and said lightly: "I didn't gamble with you with my body, don't worry, I cherish my body far more than you imagined." I just suddenly felt that eating too much at night was not good for digestion and not good for my stomach, so I thought it would be better not to eat. ”

Gu Li raised his eyebrows, "Then why do you want Liuli to bring it?" ”

"I didn't think it through just now, but now all of a sudden I figured it out."

“………”

Gu Li's face sank a little, and he forcibly dragged Mu Qianxia up from the bed, but he still smiled and coaxed softly: "It's not good for the stomach to be too hungry, just eat a piece of the princess."

"I don't eat it."

"Just eat a piece."

"Gu Li!" Mu Qianxia's anger was suddenly provoked, "You are not the roundworm in my stomach, you have to care if I eat it or not?" Don't you think you're overpowering? Who is the princess? Who is the real owner of this house?"

“……”

Gu Li was silent for a moment, restrained his smile, squinted his eyes and stared at her, and said in a deep voice, "Princess, are you angry?"

Mu Qianxia's face was expressionless, "What is there to be angry about this princess?" What you want to do is your own business, I can't control you, in that case, why should I be angry? The "

"Because I made you lose face in the Chen Mansion, caused you to be ridiculed by the prince, and caused you to accept everyone's strange eyes?" He knew all about the prince's ridicule of Mu Qianxia in the Chen Mansion, although she did not suffer, but her heart was uncomfortable after all. This account, he remembered, and sooner or later it would be returned to the prince. I don't know when Mu Qianxia has become more and more important in his heart, and now, he can't listen to anyone mocking her or saying anything bad about her.

"I didn't."

"Is it because I stained your clothes?"

Mu Qianxia secretly sneered in his heart, he really still knew. But he still got his clothes dirty after all.

"I didn't!" Mu Qianxia subconsciously denied it.

She quickly snatched the pastry in Gu Li's hand, stuffed it directly into her mouth, and swallowed it like a date.

"I've finished eating, you're all right, right?" Mu Qianxia didn't wait for Gu Li to answer, and said to herself: "You are also tired for a day today, hurry up and go back to Qingquan Pavilion to wash and sleep." Good night. ”

“………”

Gu Li watched Mu Qianxia lie back on the bed with her back to him, quietly alienated, and suddenly felt that his chest was blocked.

When he lowered his eyes, he inadvertently swept the clear blood stains on the white robe, his eyes seemed to be stabbed, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back again.
