"Gu Chenjing? How could it be him? Does he have any enmity with my royal brother? Mu Qianxia couldn't believe it.

"This has nothing to do with your imperial brother's grievances, the person Gu Chenjing wants to harm is me. He could have blamed the cause of your imperial brother's death on me, and then made it public, which would not only provoke the relationship between you and me, but also the relationship between me and Xichu. The assassination of your imperial brother is a big or small matter, after all, your imperial brother is just an ordinary person now. But when Gu Chenjing is public to the world, the emperor of Western Chu will definitely ask for an explanation for the face of your Western Chu, and even Western Chu and Eastern Qin will have the possibility of war, Eastern Qin has been empty in recent years due to perennial wars, and can no longer support major battles, even if my father favors me again, under the pressure of court officials and the people, my father will eventually take me to calm the anger of Western Chu and give Xi Chu an explanation. And Gu Chenjing has always been just an outsider, taking advantage of the fisherman, such a thing that is beneficial to him and harmless, do you think he will not do it? ”

"If that's the case, this, Gu Chenjing's scheming is too terrifying, right?"

"How can there be a person from the royal family who is as simple as paper?" Gu Li laughed at himself and said.

"I will stay in the mansion during this time, and if I can go to see my imperial brother one day, send someone to tell me in advance. I won't disturb your rest, let's go first. Mu Qianxia said lightly.

With that, he turned and left. At the moment when Mu Qianxia pushed the door and left, Gu Li suddenly spoke: "Qianqian, I have officially told my junior sister that I will never marry her in my life."

Mu Qianxia's movements froze for a moment, and then said indifferently: "This is your own business, it's none of my business who you marry or not, you don't have to tell me."

"Shallow, don't be angry, I apologize to you for what happened that day, I'm sorry, I didn't keep my promise, I abandoned you when you needed me the most, and I almost lost your life, I'm sorry to let you down in me again, I really won't do this again in the future. Shallow, come back to me, okay? I'm really ...... these days. Missed you so much. After saying this, Gu Li felt as if he had exhausted all the strength of his body.

Mu Qianxia didn't answer, stood in place for a while, and finally pushed the door and left.

Gu Li looked at Mu Qianxia's back and didn't look back and left, smiled bitterly, closed his eyes, and didn't want to think about it again.

…………

Mu Qianxia lay in her room for a long time, but she couldn't sleep, she closed her eyes, and her mind was full of what happened during this time, especially the moment when she fell from the tree, which replayed in her mind again and again, constantly reminding her of Gu Li's indifference.

Mu Qianxia really couldn't sleep, and was upset, so she pushed open the door and walked out.

But I saw a person standing in the courtyard, his long hair as smooth as black jade was tied up with a dark red ribbon, half of it was scattered, half of it was tied, and it was elegant and noble. With only one back, it turns all beings upside down.

The man seemed to hear the noise behind him, and slowly turned around, and the familiar silver mask came into view.

"Yongchen?" Mu Qianxia exclaimed in disbelief, and suddenly realized that this was the palace of Liwang, if the guards were recruited, Yongchen would probably be considered an assassin and be surrounded and suppressed, although she believed that with Yongchen's kung fu, ordinary guards would not be his opponents, but she still couldn't bear to cause too many killings. So Mu Qianxia lowered his voice and said, "Why did you come to leave the palace, and you didn't tell me a word, it scared me, and I thought there were assassins in the mansion." This is not the place for you to stay, so get out of here while no one finds out. ”

"You don't have a lot of guards here, it's okay, they can't find me, even if they find me, how can they bear me?" Yongchen said proudly.

Mu Qianxia secretly scolded herself, "I know you are super powerful, but as the saying goes, a hero is invincible to four punches, although Gu Li's martial arts are not as good as yours, his strategy is much stronger than yours, and it is more than enough to catch you." But she still smiled and said: "This is the capital, and there is something to leave the palace, as long as the king gives an order, tens of thousands of soldiers will be killed, and then even if your martial arts are high, it will be useless." And there must be a group of strong martial arts guards in the palace, even if they are not your opponents alone, they must not be underestimated. So, you'd better hurry up. ”

"Shallow, are you worried about me?" Yongchen ignored what Mu Qianxia had just said, and asked rhetorically.

"You are my savior, you have saved me many times, now you can be considered a friend, as a friend, if I don't remind you when you are in danger, then my character is too bad." Mu Qianxia said angrily.

"Since I came to you, I am naturally fully prepared, so you can rest assured. If I only have the level you imagined, how can I continue to be a Demon Venerable? I heard that you were arrested some time ago, and I looked for you for a long time but didn't find it, but I didn't expect you to go back to this palace alone, how about it, you weren't hurt, right? Yongchen said as he took the initiative to walk to the stone table in the courtyard and sit down, coupled with the aura around him, it seemed that he was the master of this courtyard.

When Mu Qianxia saw that Yongchen had already sat down on the side, he knew that he hadn't listened to his words, and knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he also walked to Yongchen's side and sat down, and replied: "I'm fine, in fact, how to say it, that person didn't take me away, I took the initiative to go with him."

"Why did you take the initiative to follow him...... Is it bad for you to leave the king? Yongchen paused and said.

Mu Qianxia didn't notice the strangeness in Yongchen's expression, and lowered his eyes and said, "Something happened between the two of us that day, which was very unpleasant, so I don't want to stay in the palace anymore."

"Then why did you come back again? Haven't you already left him, you can leave directly, and if you come back this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave him again in the future. ”

Mu Qianxia was silent for a moment and said, "My imperial brother is in his hands, so I have to come back."

"If your imperial brother is not in his hands, do you plan to never come back?"

Mu Qianxia was silent for a long time, so long that when Yongchen thought that Mu Qianxia would not answer his question, Mu Qianxia suddenly said again: "Yes." Although it is only one word, it shows Mu Qianxia's inner determination.

Yongchen's body stiffened, and the temperature around him seemed to drop a lot.

Although he was still sitting there as before, Mu Qianxia felt that his body was full of desolation and loneliness, obviously he was so close to her, but she felt as if he was in another world, out of reach.

Mu Qianxia suddenly said to herself: "Yongchen, let me tell you a secret, in fact, my hometown is far away, not Xichu. In my hometown, everyone is equal, fairness, justice, openness is the principle of our hometown, where each of us is free, uninhibited, and can do whatever he loves, and we have monogamy, in your words here, a lifetime and a couple. But because of some special irreversible reasons, I came here and became the eldest princess of Xichu, and I can't go back. ”

Yongchen didn't interject, and he didn't need to ask where Mu Qianxia's hometown was, he just listened quietly to what Mu Qianxia said, and was a quiet listener.

"When I first came here, I thought it was God's favor for me, but I gradually realized that this is not the case, everything here is different from what I imagined. Everyone here is not simple, they are scheming, and they can sacrifice everything for their own purposes and interests. Even if it's your own relatives, it's no exception. I grew to feel terrible, and I wanted to stay away from them, because I realized that even if I tried my best, I couldn't be as ruthless as them. Even if I know that kindness and simplicity won't work here, or even if you're the driving force on your way to death, I still can't change it. Yongchen, in the eyes of people like you, am I very stupid, stupid, and ridiculous?" Mu Qianxia stared straight into Yongchen's eyes, as if she wanted to get a real answer from his eyes.

Yongchen looked directly into Mu Qianxia's eyes and said softly, "No."

But Mu Qianxia still stared at his eyes reluctantly, as if asking him to give a reasonable explanation.

Yongchen seemed to smile helplessly, and said: "In my eyes, you are different from all the women here, your kindness, simplicity, and courage are exactly what you are the most beautiful and attractive to me."

Looking at Mu Qianxia's disbelieving eyes, Yongchen had no choice but to continue: "Those scheming and ruthless women even if I want to stay away from them, there is a way that is the most poisonous woman's heart. And you are like the white moonlight in the hearts of those of us, people like us who use intrigue and trickery all year round, their hearts are already full of darkness, and your appearance is like a ray of sunshine, sprinkled into our already tattered hearts, bringing new comfort to our lives. ”

This is what he said in his heart, he has always wanted to say it to Mu Qianxia, but he can't say it for various reasons, and now that he can say it in such an opportunity, he only feels that his heart is much more relaxed.

It's just that when Yongchen moved his gaze to Mu Qianxia, he found that Mu Qianxia had already fallen asleep on the stone table.

Yongchen smiled helplessly, it seemed that she didn't listen to what he said just now. Looking at Mu Qianxia's sleeping face quietly, Yongchen's eyes were full of pampering, making people want to drown in his eyes.

Yongchen stared at Mu Qianxia's sleeping face quietly, as if he never got tired of looking at it, and Mu Qianxia's figure was reflected in his eyes, giving people the illusion that he was the only one in his life. It wasn't until Mu Qianxia twisted his neck restlessly on his stomach that Yongchen chuckled, carefully picked Mu Qianxia up horizontally, and tiptoed Mu Qianxia back to the house. The whole process reveals caution, for fear of disturbing the dreams of the person in his arms.

Just when Yongchen put it on the bed, covered the quilt and was about to leave, Mu Qianxia didn't know what he dreamed of, suddenly grabbed Yongchen's shirt and smiled sweetly at him, Yongchen only felt that his heart melted at that moment, and continued to appreciate Mu Qianxia's sleeping face for a moment, Yongchen gently pulled down Mu Qianxia's hand holding his clothes, carefully put it into the quilt, lightly imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and then tiptoed away.
