Late at night, Princess's Mansion, Qingquan Pavilion.

Gu Li stood in front of the window against the moonlight, his expression was secretive, and he couldn't distinguish between joy and anger.

This was Shuo Feng's first reaction when he saw Gu Li when he came in.

"Subordinates participate in Childe." Shuo Feng said respectfully.

"Do you know what's wrong?" Gu Li turned his back to Shuo Feng, and his voice was indifferent.

Hearing this, Shuo Feng knelt directly on the ground, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates know their mistakes." There was a slight tremor in his voice, reflecting the fear in his heart at the moment.

"But, Childe, the eldest prince's visit this time is bound to the eldest princess, and before the eldest prince came, his subordinates had received news that the emperor and the eldest princess had discussed it, and the eldest princess agreed to marry......"

"You didn't even report it, is it because my son has been too kind to you recently?" Gu Li said coldly.

"Childe, subordinate, subordinate ......" Shuofeng stammered, "The subordinate is afraid that Childe will not be able to make the right decision, so he makes the decision on his own......"

"You mean, this son is not as good as you?"

"No, no, no, my subordinates don't dare."

"Don't dare? How dare you be? ”

"Gong, Gongzi......" Now that it is winter, Shuofeng's forehead is already covered with sweat the size of beans, and if you look closely, you can still see that his body is trembling slightly.

"Who told you to put her to death?"

Although Gu Li didn't say who it was, Shuo Feng still knew who Gu Li was talking about for the first time. He took a deep breath and explained: "Childe, my subordinates just think that the eldest princess, if the eldest princess really marries the eldest prince, I am afraid that it will hinder our plans, so the subordinates are brave and talented, so they design ......."

Gu Li didn't speak again, just stood here quietly, but the powerful coercion emanating from his body made Shuo Feng almost out of breath.

Just when Shuofeng was about to lose it, Gu Li said leisurely, "This son gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, so don't blame this son for being ruthless." ”

"Childe, the subordinates know their mistakes, the subordinates don't dare anymore, beg the son to give his subordinates another chance, and the subordinates will no longer dare to deceive the son." Shuofeng said in a trembling voice.

He kept kowtowing, and soon a pool of blood appeared on the ground, but he still kowtowed as if he didn't know the pain.

Gu Li smiled softly, and helped Shuo Feng who was kneeling on the ground, and Shuo Feng's body stiffened.

"Is this son so terrible?" Gu Li asked softly.

"No, no." Who in the rivers and lakes doesn't know that Childe is a smiling tiger, and the softer he laughs, the more miserable the other party will die.

"If this son asks for your life this time, I am afraid it will arouse her suspicion, just leave you a small life this time, if you dare to hide it from this son in the future, you will know the end." Gu Li smiled gently.

"Yes, yes, my subordinates don't dare anymore, there will definitely be no next time." Shuo Feng was overjoyed and immediately replied.

"But" Gu Li's words changed, the smile on Shuo Feng's face froze, Gu Li said to himself as if he hadn't seen it: "Capital crimes are inevitable, living crimes are inevitable, and I will go down to receive punishment in a while." ”

"Yes, thank you for your mercy." Shuo Feng said respectfully.

"By the way, no matter what method is used, let the eldest prince leave the capital as soon as possible."

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."

Gu Li looked tired, waved his hand, and said, "Stand down." ”

"Yes."

Shuofeng pushed out, closed the door, and breathed a sigh of relief. Even if you have to suffer a little flesh wound, this life is saved.

…………

In the past two days, Mu Qianxia has accompanied Gu Chenjing everywhere, and it is late at night when she comes back every day, and she is often tired and half dead, she can't help but complain to Liuli: "How could the imperial brother agree to Gu Chenjing's such an unreasonable request, it is simply going to exhaust the princess." ”

"Princess, the emperor is also for your good, after all, you are going to marry the eldest prince, and the emperor also hopes that you can love you for a lifetime, so he creates opportunities for you to get along." Ruri explained. ”

"That Gu Chenjing is really good at shopping, there is no need to call this princess in those places he goes, he will simply break this princess's leg."

"Princess, the eldest prince is also to have more time with you, the slave and maid see that the eldest prince is very interested in you, and he remembers your preferences clearly, if you marry the eldest prince in the future, the slave believes that the eldest prince will be good to you."

Mu Qianxia hooked her lips and smiled faintly, "Liuli, what you think is too simple." The eldest prince is very deep in the city, I can't see through it at all, if he is really as kind as he shows, he will not be able to grow up safely, let alone become a strong contender for the throne. Therefore, Liuli, we must not judge people by their appearance, and keep an eye on everything, otherwise we may not even know how to die. ”

Liuli nodded as if she didn't understand.

…………

The next evening, as the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the trivial dark clouds, and the whole sky seems to be on fire.

Mu Qianxia's footsteps towards the house stopped, and he raised his head and began to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the horizon.

"Light Summer." When Mu Qianxia heard this, he looked back and saw that it was cold smoke.

"Hanyan, why are you here?" Mu Qianxia said questioningly.

"Qianxia, I heard that you are going to marry the eldest prince of Eastern Qin?" Hanyan is not polite, and directly points out the theme.

"You've heard that too?" Mu Qianxia said in surprise. She didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, even Hanyan knew about it.

"It seems that this news is true." Hanyan smiled bitterly.

Mu Qianxia frowned and explained, "It's not decided yet." ”

"Qianxia, do you like the Great Prince of Eastern Qin?" Han Yan stared at Mu Qianxia tightly and said seriously.

Mu Qianxia pondered for a moment and said, "I don't like it, but I don't hate it either." There should be no problem with him living a life with respect. ”

"Asanatsu, if there is a chance now that you don't have to marry him, would you be willing?"

Mu Qianxia frowned, "Maybe." ”

Han Yan's face showed a hint of joy imperceptibly, and he said seriously: "Qianxia, if I can take you out of this capital, but are you willing?" ”

"This ......" I have to say that the condition proposed by Hanyan is very tempting.

"Asanatsu, I like you. Your talent, your character, everything about you fascinates me deeply, and I am willing to give up everything I have now for you, and I will accompany you wherever you want to go. Ever since you appeared, you have been the only one in my eyes and heart. I will be good to you for the rest of my life. Asanatsu, would you like to leave with me? ”

Mu Qianxia was shocked by the sudden confession of cold smoke, and her brain seemed to be short-circuited, and she didn't know how to answer. She has always regarded Hanyan as her best friend, and she lives very easily in front of him, and she doesn't need to disguise herself. She can talk about life and the future with him, even if she sometimes pops up a lot of strange ideas and words, she doesn't have to worry about Hanyan asking herself.

Mu Qianxia slightly organized her own language: "Hanyan, I have always regarded you as my best friend, even a relative, I am very happy and relaxed in front of you, I don't learn to disguise myself, and I don't have to be afraid that you will betray me." You are really good, you are gentle, considerate, and understanding, and there must be many women who love you, but I don't deserve you to give up everything for me. I have the responsibility and destiny that I have to bear as a member of the royal family, which has been predestined since the day I was born. While I enjoy the status and glory that comes with being a princess, I must have paid a corresponding price. Hanyan, from the day I was born, was destined to be impossible for me to live for myself in this life. Even if I leave the capital with you, my imperial brother will definitely send people to search for it all over the country, and what we have to face is definitely a day of hiding, and you don't need to make yourself live such a life for me......"

Before Mu Qianxia finished speaking, Han Yan interrupted: "You are worth it." Even if I want to live a life of hiding in Tibet, as you said, I am willing. Asa, don't say that about yourself, people like you, you will always deserve the best. ”

Mu Qianxia smiled bitterly: "Actually, I envy the days of ordinary people, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, which is the life I yearn for the most." I don't need to be rich and powerful, I just need to live my life simply and peacefully. However, everyone has their own things to carry, Hanyan, and so do you, don't you? Then you are burdened with the responsibility of your family, you are not the kind of selfish person, you can never give up your people for yourself, can you? ”

Hanyan opened his mouth to defend himself, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his mouth. I have to say that what Mu Qianxia said was very reasonable, and he couldn't find anything to refute. From the day he was born, he was the hope of the entire family, and it was his responsibility and obligation to revitalize the family in this life, but as Mu Qianxia said, it was impossible for him to leave his family behind for his own selfishness. Han Yan smiled silently bitterly, the world envied their glory and wealth, and who knew their sadness. They can only live for their families, and they can never live for themselves.

Hanyan hooked his lips and laughed at himself, "I see." In the future, I will try my best to be by your side as your dear friend and family, and I will help you no matter what difficulties you encounter. Asa Xia, don't refuse me, this time, I just want to represent myself and live for myself this time. ”

Mu Qianxia swallowed the words that came to his lips, "Okay." If you encounter any trouble in the future, I will do my best to help you get out of trouble. ”

"Qianxia, if it's Gu Li who is standing here now and saying these words, is your answer the same?" Han Yan changed the topic and asked suddenly.

"Yes." Mu Qianxia blurted out without thinking.

If she had hesitated a few days ago, she might have even agreed, but now, if she repents, where will she leave the imperial brother? Where is Xichu placed? What's more, her liking for Gu Li is her own business, and it is also a secret in her heart, no one will know about this matter, just like she crossed over, and it will rot in her stomach forever.

"It's not early, Hanyan, you go back first."

"Good. Light summer, take care of yourself. If you have grievances, don't hold back, remember to tell me. ”

"Uh-huh."

In the place where she didn't notice, Mu Xiaoxi witnessed the whole process, her smart eyes were overflowing with sadness, sadness, and distress, but there was no jealousy. Even when she heard her favorite brother Hanyan confess to the princess sister, she was not jealous. The princess's sister is so good, and it is normal for Hanyan's brother to like her. It's just that she never knew that Brother Hanyan and Sister Princess had so many last resorts, they were so pitiful, she must treat them better in the future.
