Shang Shuling Mansion, in the mourning hall, white stripes are all over, a desolate and desolate, only a few fallen leaves rolled up by the autumn wind from time to time to visit this memorial.

Here, Qing Ning, who was always dressed in red, put on white clothes for the first time, and knelt motionless in front of Yan Yezhi's coffin, carrying out his own silent memorial.

After the death of Yan Yezhi, none of the officials who had been good friends with the Yan family came to ask, and even passed by here to avoid it, and they couldn't wait to leave by a detour, and the emperor issued an edict, saying that it was Gu Nian Yan Shangshu who made a merit in founding the country, and exempted Yan Qingning from the crime of trespassing on the execution ground, but Shang Shuling's mansion changed dramatically overnight, and even the plaque that had been hanging outside for fifteen years also fell down and changed to "Wei Lie Houfu".

Yan Yezhi is gone, the head of the Yan family will naturally become Yan Yi, Yan Yi's title is naturally inscribed, Yan Yi has to accept all the things in the house, preside over the overall situation, Yan Yuesheng heard that his father died, I heard that he was shocked at first, and then fainted, and he didn't wake up for a few days, and the eldest lady didn't enter the house, and she kept her door closed.

In this mourning hall, only Qing Ning was still kneeling, bearing all this in a daze.

"How is she?"

Outside the mourning hall, Mu Ling quietly walked in at some point, and asked Wu Yueluo, who was guarding the door, Mu Ling wore the moon-white dress today, as if to show guilt, and seemed to want to give her a little comfort.

"Alas" Wu Yueluo sighed, and said with some crying: "It's been five days, the water and rice don't enter, and the wounds on the body don't let people deal with it, so I have been kneeling there, motionless, I have mixed it up several times, and after waking up, I have come to kneel again, and until now, I have not said a word." ”

Listening to this, looking at the woman in front of her, Mu Ling's heart throbbed, and she even had some difficulty breathing, her life experience was destined to harm her to everyone in the world, there were very few people who were good to her, and she could be counted on one hand, but this time, he personally buried the person who was like a father to her.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, stepped in, and as soon as he stood beside her, he heard her somewhat hoarse voice sound: "Uncle Yan is immortal, and his soul will return to his hometown within seven days, please go out, don't spare Uncle Yan's immortal spirit." ”

"Shang Shuling won't be happy to see you like this if he comes back." Mu Ling squatted down slightly beside her, trying to persuade her.

"Your Highness, this is not the place for you to stay, please go back!" She still kept looking at the coffin in front of her, her voice was calm, but there was a lot of anger and a little coldness.

"It's good to eat something and recuperate from your injuries."

"No need," Qing Ning still refused.

It seems that it is not possible to be soft, Mu Ling gently held her hand, and in an instant, she was beaten horizontally in her arms, she tried to withdraw, but it turned out that her body could not withstand the wear and tear, and she could not exert any strength, as if only her voice could still make a sound, she opened her mouth and said angrily: "Mu Ling, what are you going to do, let me down." ”

"You have to force me to be hard." As he spoke, he walked towards Yi Ge's room, reached out and gently put her on the bed, clicked her acupoint to make her unable to move, and directly uncovered her clothes and treated her wounds.

"Mu Ling, you bastard." Qing Ning opened his mouth and scolded.

Fortunately, it was only the arm and shoulder that were injured, nothing serious, but it was washed by the rain, and the wound was a little inflamed, and it was inevitable that there would be a fever.

Mu Ling instructed Wu Yueluo to make a bowl of porridge and bring it over, gently helped her up and leaned on the bed, untied the acupoints on her upper body, handed it to her and said, "Eat?" ”

Qing Ning turned his head and ignored him, but he didn't expect him to smile faintly, and his words contained a bit of threat, and said, "If you don't eat, then I'll feed you." As he spoke, he raised his hand and put the porridge in his mouth.

Qing Ning hurriedly stopped: "I'll come by myself." ”

Mu Ling smiled, handed the porridge to her, and waited for her to finish drinking before letting her lie down, and threatened: "Either you sleep by yourself, or I will sleep with you in my arms." ”

Qing Ning couldn't resist him, so she had to lie down and close her eyes, but Mu Ling knew that her heart could not be calm after all, and in this matter, until now, the person who hurt her the most was still him.

However, if you don't do this, according to Yan Yuesheng, if you continue to make trouble like this, and the emperor will investigate like this, sooner or later the person who will die will be Qing Ning, or even the entire Yan family.

In the afternoon, Mu Ling stayed there to play the flute for her, and the melodious sound of the ink jade flute was extraordinarily light, like the touch of the hand of the gods, which made Qing Ning's heart inexplicably quiet, until he saw that the woman's breathing gradually stabilized, Mu Ling stopped the flute in his hand, reached out to the table and poured a cup of tea, and drank it all, this action was repeated three times, and then he sat down with a long sigh of relief, and touched his lips that had been chapped to show one or two blood marks.

At this time, the woman who had been standing outside the door listening to the sound of her prince's flute walked in and sat down beside him.

Rong Xi looked at his chapped lips to the point of bleeding, King Pingzhao's flute was also popular all over the country, and it was difficult to change it, how many literati and scholars couldn't ask for it after all their hard work, and even he only heard him blow it for himself on his fifteenth birthday.

Now, he actually blew for a whole afternoon in order to let this woman sleep peacefully, knowing that the moon had not stopped until now, and even blew his lips.

Rong Xi had never seen such a prince, it made her feel distressed, and she even thought that it would be great if there was no such woman, although the prince would not be happy, but he would not be so sad for a woman.

"Rong Xi, I'll go drink some porridge, you guard her first." Mu Ling opened his mouth, his voice was already hoarse, and he could only smile slightly and make a little sound. With that, he got up and walked out.

"Prince" Rong Xi finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked the question: "Rong Xi doesn't understand, the prince can love all women in the world, why, it must be her?" ”

"Rong Xi, you love me!" Mu Ling didn't look back, just looked at the bright moon in the sky and asked leisurely.

“……”

"So, why?"

“……”

Seeing that Rong Xi didn't answer for a long time, he tilted his head slightly, smiled at Rong Xi, and the evening breeze ruffled his hair, and in an instant, the world was discolored. Whispered: "? Remember to take care of her. Then he turned and walked away.

This question was asked by Rong Xi, she always thought that as long as she guarded him and gave everything for him, he would fall in love with her one day, but she was wrong, it turned out that there was never a reason to really fall in love, including the prince to Qingning, including herself to the prince, and Yunyang to herself.

She sighed and walked to the door and closed it, not knowing that the woman on the bed had opened her eyes and stood up to look at her.

In fact, the moment the flute stopped, Qing Ning had already woken up, and the highly tense nerves couldn't sleep without listening to him play the flute, when, he was already dependent on him so far, although he hurt her in every way, she still wanted to pretend to be asleep to let him stop and rest, but what did the conversation between him and Rong Xi just now represent, does he really, love her?

Qing Ning didn't understand, so only Rong Xi could answer all this.

When Rong Xi turned around, he suddenly saw the woman sitting up on the bed, a little surprised, and was about to go out to call Mu Ling back, but was stopped by Qing Ning.

She turned around and sat down beside Qing Ning, smiled, and asked with a gentle look, "The girl has something to do with me?" ”

"I, I'm just curious about your relationship with Mu Ling" Qing Ning's voice recovered slightly, and he asked a little hesitantly.
