Chapter 120: I'm here to take you home, do you hate me?
Mu Qianxia's body tightened to the extreme the moment the cell door was opened, firmly grasped the hairpin in his hand, and then quickly attacked forward.
The person who came reacted quickly, and directly raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, Mu Qianxia pumped his arm hard, and found that he couldn't pull it back, so he immediately changed his strategy, raised his leg and kicked directly at the comer's crotch, the angle was tricky and fierce, and the person was forced to let go of her wrist and turn around to dodge. Without waiting for the man to stabilize his body, another blow followed, this time Mu Qianxia did not show the slightest mercy, and shot ruthlessly, directly going to the main artery on the neck of the person who came from his hand. The person who came immediately dodged to the side again, and at the same time hit Mu Qianxia's wrist, knocking down the hairpin in her hand, Mu Qianxia didn't have time to withdraw his hand, he felt a strong grasp of his wrist and pulled himself forward, Mu Qianxia couldn't break free, and was about to raise his leg to strike, when he heard a low, but helpless voice from the front, "Princess, it's me." ”
"Gu Li? How are you? What are you doing here? Mu Qianxia exclaimed. Knowing who it was, Mu Qianxia was not struggling, and let herself be dragged forward by Gu Li.
I haven't seen him for seven days, Gu Li is still wearing a moon-white robe as always, the wide snow-white sleeves hang softly, and sway lightly with the wind blowing in from the window, as gentle as a cloud, as soft as the moon. The dark and deep eyes were clear and peaceful, with a slightly helpless smile. Even though he is now in a dark cell, his bearing is incompatible with everything around him, he is just like moonlight, Qinghua is graceful, like a noble and elegant person who cannot be integrated with him, it seems that he was born to accept the admiration of all people.
Gu Li was also staring at Mu Qianxia quietly at this moment, she was thinner than before, her originally round cheeks had turned into a pointed melon seed face, and her eyes seemed bigger than before. Xu has been in her cell lately, her skin is whiter than ever, but there is no trace of blood. The long jade-like hair fell and was tied up casually by a cyan silk thread, all hanging down in front of the right shoulder, and the long hair ended up on the waist tied with a white palace silk.
Gu Li suddenly took a few steps forward and gently hugged Mu Qianxia into his arms.
Mu Qianxia seemed to sense that Gu Li's mood was not quite right at the moment, so he didn't struggle, and let him gently hold himself, his elegant and fresh like a snow lotus quickly filled Mu Qianxia's breath.
I don't know how long it took, Gu Li whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, I deceived you; I'm sorry I took advantage of you; I'm sorry for making you lose your most important person; I'm sorry, but I made the decision for you again; I'm sorry you're leaving your home because of me; I'm sorry......
He didn't know how to explain to her, his former eloquence had come to naught in front of her, and a thousand words had been swallowed by him alive when they came to his mouth, and finally converged into a simple "I'm sorry." ”
He originally wanted to explain to Mu Qianxia as soon as he saw her, explaining his true identity, purpose, and the harm he caused to her one by one, but from the moment he saw her, he didn't want to say it. A thought came to his mind at the time, and that was - to hide it from her. Even though he clearly knew that a lie needed to be fulfilled with thousands of lies, he still chose to continue to deceive. Because he didn't want to see her eyes full of hatred, didn't want to see her indifference and alienation, didn't want to see her cut off from him from now on, regarded him as an enemy who didn't share the sky, and didn't want to see her apply all the methods she used to deal with others to him, just to leave him. He suddenly wished that he could hide it from her for the rest of his life, so that she could smile at him like this for the rest of his life.
Mu Qianxia thought that Gu Li was feeling guilty that he had only come for so long, she raised her hand and gently grabbed Gu Li's back, like her mother coaxed her when she was a child, patted his back awkwardly, and said softly: "Gu Li, you are not wrong, you don't have to say sorry to me, I know that you must have done your best in the past few days, you see, I am fine now, neither hungry nor injured." The people in the prison also hindered my status, and they didn't dare to do anything to me when the order didn't come down. So, you don't have to feel guilty about it, and I don't blame you. ”
After a long while, Gu Li let go of Mu Qianxia, took a few steps back, slightly distanced himself from Mu Qianxia, and then stretched out his hand in front of Mu Qianxia, smiled at her, and said, "Princess, I'll take you home."
Gu Li's hands were as white as jade and had distinct joints, as if they were as pure as a beautiful work of art. Slender and free of impurities, slightly cold, as if there is no temperature, chilling. But it is Mu Qianxia's favorite appearance.
Mu Qianxia smiled skillfully, smiling like a flower, stretched out her hand and gently placed it on Gu Li's hand, her hand was as delicate as ivory carving, slender, slender and tender, because she didn't like to keep her nails, so her nails were trimmed very neatly, giving people a clean and tidy feeling.
Mu Qianxia's hands are actually not small, but compared to Gu Li, they seem much smaller. Gu Li slowly closed his hand, his big palm wrapped her tightly, his hand was not as cold as she imagined, but warm and powerful, if he was held by such a hand for a lifetime, he must be very happy, but unfortunately, that person would not be her. Thinking of this, Mu Qianxia's bright eyes couldn't help but darken.
…………
Princess's House.
"Gu Li, my imperial brother, how is he now? Why didn't you let me into the palace just now? Mu Qianxia asked as soon as she returned home.
"Princess, your royal brother he, his whereabouts are unknown."
"What? How so? That's impossible. My imperial brother, how could he be missing," Mu Qianxia said in disbelief.
"After you were imprisoned in the prison, a fire suddenly broke out in your imperial brother's dormitory, which turned the sky red, and when everyone arrived, the houses had been burned down, and after the fire was extinguished, your imperial brother's whereabouts were unknown, no one knew where your imperial brother escaped from, or was ......" Gu Li didn't say anything more when he said this, he believed that Mu Qianxia knew what the rest of the words were.
In the past few days, he has also sent many people to look for him, and even used the intelligence system of the Dark Moon Tower, but he still did not find any trace of Mu Chenyi, this person seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace to be found. It was rumored that Mu Chenyi died in that fire, but he didn't know why, he always felt that Mu Chenyi was not dead. And the strange thing about the fire was that it was caused by a little eunuch who kept vigil and accidentally broke the candlestick, but he always felt that things were not so simple. There are so many night guards in the palace, why didn't they find the water there? And no one found out until the fire was too big to be controlled, and it was already too late at that time, why didn't anyone find out in advance, even if the guards were negligent and didn't see it, then how could those eunuchs and palace maids in his palace not find out? He even started to do this, could it be that Mu Chenyi did it, in order to escape from the palace and escape the control of the prince at that time?
Although there are still many doubts in this, he didn't dare to tell Mu Qianxia that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, all of the above is just his speculation.
"No, it can't be, how can this be?" Mu Qianxia muttered to herself, tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably, the imperial brother was the best person she had ever come to this world to her, and she was also her only relative, how could such a thing happen? She didn't dare to imagine what she would do without the protection, care and favor of her royal brother in the future.
Looking at Mu Qianxia's tears, Gu Li couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, and before he could react, he had already blurted out a sentence: "Princess, I have a feeling, your imperial brother is not dead, he is just somewhere, don't be sad, I will definitely find him for you."
"Really?" Mu Qianxia raised her hazy teary eyes and asked expectantly.
"Hmm." Although there is only a simple word, for Mu Qianxia at this moment, it is heavier than Mount Tai. She is like a drowning person first, and Gu Li is her only lifeline now.
Mu Qianxia took a deep breath to calm down her emotions, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, took two steps back, looked up at Gu Li's eyes, looked calm, and said word by word: "Gu Li, tell me, is there any of your handiwork in these things?"
Gu Li didn't answer, and he didn't need to argue, he just looked at her quietly, his eyes were dark and deep, and the bottom of his eyes seemed to be startled by a huge whirlpool, as if he was about to suck Mu Qianxia's soul into it.
Mu Qianxia smiled bitterly, "I know." Can't you tell who you really are now? ”
"I am the third prince of Eastern Qin, Gu Li."
"What is your purpose?"
"Get close to you, gain your trust, and then use you to get close to your imperial brother, and finally let your country have civil strife, and we Eastern Qin can take the opportunity to profit from it." Gu Li explained lightly.
"Gu Li, did you order someone to change the incense I used before entering the palace that day?"
"Yes."
"My imperial brother was poisoned, were you also involved?"
"Yes."
"You actually cooperated with the Prince? You know that he wants to hurt me, and you still choose to cooperate with him? "Mu Qianxia's incredible way." Oh, too, you have been just a use of me from beginning to end, I am just a chess piece in your hand, and you are a chess player, when the chess player cares about the feelings of the chess piece. Mu Qianxia smiled sadly.
"No, it's not." There was a hint of imperceptible nervousness and panic in Gu Li's tone.
But Mu Qianxia didn't want to believe him anymore.
"Princess, you, now, don't you, hate me?" Gu Li hesitated for a long time, and finally asked.
