In the evening, when Yongchen saw Mu Qianxia, she was drinking in the yard, and when he passed, she seemed to be slightly drunk, her face was pretty and red, her eyes were slightly blurred, and she was a little more charming than usual.

"Shallow, what's wrong with you? Get up on the wrong side of the bed? How do you drink so much alcohol? Yongchen frowned. She rarely sees Mu Qianxia drinking, even if she is in a bad mood, she will not use wine to kill her sorrows, what happened to her today?

"Yongchen, you're here, sit down and have two more drinks with me." Mu Qianxia said drunkly, looking at him with bright eyes, like a star falling under her eyes. Yongchen originally wanted to refuse, but swallowed the moment he saw Mu Qianxia's eyes, sighed lightly, walked to Mu Qianxia's side and sat down, picked up the wine glass, and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Yongchen, let me tell you, I lied and deceived someone today." Mu Qianxia was silent for a moment, and suddenly said in a low voice.

"Oh? Everyone will lie to a greater or lesser extent in their lives, and some lies are small and white lies; Some lies are very big, and they need to be made up for with one lie after another; Some lies make people's hearts warm, and some lies make people hate them. So, shallow, you don't have to blame yourself, and you don't have to feel guilty, there's nothing about it. Yongchen comforted. In fact, for people like him, lying or something is a normal thing, and there are always some reasons why they have to lie to their opponents and friends. If he was like Mu Qianxia every time he lied, then how could he be where he is today?

"I deceived Gu Li today, in fact, I asked him for a jade pendant not because I wanted to make a wedding gift for Hanyan and Xiaoxi, but because if I want to see the imperial brother, I need to use this jade pendant as a token to convince his subordinates." Mu Qianxia said in a low voice while drinking.

Mu Qianxia casually looked in the direction where Yongchen was, I don't know if it was because she drank too much and had an illusion, Yongchen's body stiffened slightly after she said this.

Mu Qianxia shook his head, blinked, and when he looked at Yongchen again, he found that he had already returned to normal. Mu Qianxia thought secretly: It must have been too much drinking, he had a hallucination just now, he and Gu Li didn't know each other, how could he have such a reaction.

"To be honest, I didn't expect Gu Li to be so happy, and he gave me the jade pendant casually without asking the reason, do you know, he even said that as long as I want, even if I want to be the empress of the ages, he will realize it for me, and willingly be my courtier, and assist me for a lifetime." Speaking of this, Mu Qianxia burped, paused for a moment, and continued: "Proud as he is, he would say such a thing, to be honest, this sentence had a great impact on me, I was shocked by Gu Li's words, so much so that I didn't respond at the first time." He obviously deceived me again and again and broke his promises, why did he pretend to be affectionate and say the most beautiful love words in the world?"

Yongchen didn't answer, drinking glass after glass, as if trying to get himself drunk.

"Yongchen, I asked you to drink with me, why did you drink by yourself, what did I drink after you finished drinking, are you interesting enough?" Mu Qianxia snatched the wine jug that Yongchen had been holding and poured herself another glass.

"Yongchen, for Gu Li, I am really conflicted, obviously he has hurt me again and again, but I just can't hate him, obviously I told myself over and over again not to believe in him, but I always involuntarily choose to believe. You say, why should he say it so easily if he can't keep what he promised me? If he didn't like me that much, why did he keep asking me to stay with him? If he can't protect me, why won't he let me go?"

Mu Qianxia thought that Yongchen would not answer her, but Yongchen suddenly said: "He really likes you and really wants to protect you for the rest of his life."

"Huh?" Mu Qianxia didn't keep up with Yongchen's brain circuit for a while, "What did you say?" You don't know him well, how do you know what he thinks?"

Yongchen was silent for a moment and said, "A man's intuition."

Mu Qianxia snorted coldly disdainfully, and said, "I've only heard that women's intuition is very accurate, and I haven't heard of men's intuition. I see, Gu Li is addicted to using me and deceiving me, so he wants me to stay by his side for his rest of his life. ”

"No, it's not."

"Hey, Yongchen, obviously you are my friend and should be on my side, why have you been speaking for Gu Li?" Mu Qianxia glared at Yongchen dissatisfiedly and said.

Yongchen opened his mouth, and was just about to explain, Mu Qianxia waved his hand suddenly, and said casually: "That's it, that's it, I don't care about you, I'm going to leave here anyway, and now it's useless to think about these things except to add trouble to myself."

Yongchen's hand holding the cup tightened, his body collapsed tightly, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and there was a trace of tension in his voice, "Shallow, what do you mean by this?" Where are you going? ”

Mu Qianxia said casually, "I was going to talk to you about this at the end today, but now that we have talked about it, then I will tell you in advance." Tomorrow, I'm going to leave here and go to find my imperial brother, I have a lot of things I want to say to him, but Gu Li just didn't let me see him, saying that he was afraid of causing trouble to my imperial brother, but I waited so long, I really couldn't wait, so I could only lie to him and use his jade pendant to transfer away the people guarding my imperial brother. Then, I don't know where I should go, but the world is big, and there will always be a place for me, and I will live a dull and peaceful life incognito. ”

Mu Qianxia seemed to think of something again, and added: "I forgot to tell you that the senior brother of the Nanban princess looked for me when he first arrived in Dongqin, and he told me that after my mission is completed, their Nanban national teacher will send someone to look for me again, and when the time comes, I can really go home."

"Home?" Yongchen muttered to himself, as if he was asking Mu Qianxia, and as if he was talking to himself.

"Yes, didn't I tell you before that my home is far away? Although I don't know who this Nanban national teacher is, he seems to be very powerful, he not only knows where my home is, but also knows how to send me back. In the face of Yongchen, Mu Qianxia can always involuntarily open her heart to communicate with him and say what is in her heart, although I don't know why I believe him now, maybe because he has saved himself many times, maybe because he is a good listener, maybe because of ......

"Do you really want to go back? You can really let go of everything here, your imperial brother, your friends, and ......" At this point, Yongchen paused for a moment before continuing: "Gu Li?"

Mu Qianxia's body stiffened, raised his wine glass, drank it all, was silent for a moment, and said: "They have found someone who can accompany them for the rest of their lives, and I can naturally let go of everything here, but my parents are still waiting for me, and they still need me to accompany them, so no matter what, I have to go back."

"What about Gu Li? What should he do when you're gone? The only person he found who could accompany him for the rest of his life was you, have you ever wondered what will happen to him if you leave? Mu Qianxia didn't know if it was her own delusion, Yongchen's attitude when she said this was very excited, which made her give birth to the illusion that he was Gu Li.

Mu Qianxia smiled bitterly and shook his head, if he was really Gu Li, how could he have time to accompany him every night, he had a lot of things to deal with. She seemed to be really drunk today, and she had this delusion.

"Gu Li~" Mu Qianxia sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "He is ambitious and capable, he will definitely stand at the top, and he will definitely be busy every day, whether I leave or not, it will not have the slightest impact on him."

"But, shallow, it's cold in high places." Yongchen said softly.

Mu Qianxia was silent.

"Shallow, no matter how successful a man is, he will feel lonely and lonely, and deep down in his heart he craves warmth and the company of others more than anyone else. Your departure will be a fatal blow to Gu Li. ”

"You are not him, how do you know what he thinks, as long as he says a word, more women want to marry him." Mu Qianxia said softly.

"Shallow, I'm also a man, I know his thoughts better than you, what he wants, he hopes to be able to accompany him for a lifetime, share his joys and sorrows, only you!" Yongchen's tone was unmistakably resolute.

Mu Qianxia didn't speak again, just drank the wine one after another, and in the end, Yongchen really couldn't look past it, and snatched the wine jug in her hand.

"Shallow, you can't ignore his heart for you because of his deception of you, although Gu Li and I are not friends, or even acquaintances, but I can feel from your description of him, and his remarks when you tell him, that he truly loves you and really wants to spend his life with you. You magnified his mistakes, but deliberately ignored his kindness to you, now think about it, is he sincere to you?" Yongchen spoke earnestly.

"Yongchen, you don't know, when he deceived me and used me for the first time, I swore in my heart and told myself that I would never like him again in my life. I'm a person, if I say it's good, it's very stubborn, but if it's ugly, it's just a tendon, once I decide on one thing, even nine cows can't pull it back. Gu Li's credit with me has long been overdrawn, I will no longer believe him stupidly like before, I will be deceived by him again and again, and I will no longer fall in love with him as before. My heart is my lord, whether I like it or not, I have my own measure, and you don't have to persuade me anymore. I'm going to get out of here anyway, and it's useless to think about it. ”

Mu Qianxia shook her dizzy head and said, "Yongchen, I'm very happy to know you, you are like a tree hole, listening to all my worries, but I have never asked you, do you like to listen to me or not." However, from today onwards, you are officially out of the sea of suffering, congratulations. I have important things to do tomorrow, so I'll go back to sleep first, bye-bye. ”

After speaking, he stood up with the table, shook off Yongchen's hand holding him, and said, "I can go back by myself, you don't have to worry about me." Then, under Yongchen's gaze, he returned to the house step by step.

Yongchen did not leave immediately, but stood quietly in place, looking at Mu Qianxia's room in a trance, and in the air, there seemed to be a murmur, "I like it." But when you try to listen closely, you can only hear the gentle sound of the wind, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
