Chapter 25: Burns

When I heard that Mu Yu had entered the palace, I quickened my pace and rushed to the palace, and when I passed the courtyard of Qing Yu, I saw a familiar lilac figure walking out of it.

"Mu Yu?" I asked strangely, "What are you doing in Qingyu's yard?" ”

"Oh! I ......" Mu Yu bit his lip and hesitated for a long time, "Yesterday, Mu Yu thanked Xiao Gongzi for saving him, and today I came to thank him." Mu Yu grabbed my arm, "Why did His Highness go down to the court so early?" ”

I barely managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "I heard you were coming, so I ran back." "Mu Yu, like me, bites his lip when he lies. So she didn't come to Qingyu's yard alone to thank her, but she refused to tell me why. It made me feel very awkward.

"Have you had breakfast?" I asked Mu Yu, "Why don't you go together?" ”

"Your Highness!"

Qin Ruoan spent most of his time in the barracks, and on weekdays, there were only four people left in the East Palace: Xiao Ye, Qing Yu, Champion Xun Chu Moxuan, and Xiliang Prince Xuanyuan Che, plus me and Mu Yu, there were only six people, and I didn't take Mu Yu to other places for breakfast alone.

"Your Highness, this is the peach juice I squeezed early this morning." Xiao Ye brought me a glass of peach juice, "Don't look at it like this, but you used half a basket of peaches!" Your Highness, will you taste the delicious taste? ”

I took a bite and said, "Hmmm! Not bad! ”

"Taste the orange juice again!" Xiao Ye brought another glass of orange juice.

"Delicious!" It may be a problem with the extraction method, the peach juice is too thick to drink, like drinking porridge, but this orange juice is much more refreshing.

"This is the rock sugar blood swallow I asked the kitchen to boil for you, you can taste it again."

"Oh!" Why is Xiao Ye suddenly so attentive, cup after cup, and now there is such a pot, where can I drink so much? I heard that this blood swallow is very precious, so I also served a bowl to Mu Yu.

"Your Highness!" Mu Yu hurriedly picked it up with both hands.

"Beware of burning!" As soon as my words fell, Mu Yu had already held the bowl, and then her hand was so hot that the bowl turned over, and all the soup and water in the bowl were withdrawn from my and Mu Yu's hands.

"Your Highness!" Xiao Ye hurriedly grabbed my scalded left hand, picked up the chilled grape juice held by the little eunuch on the side and poured it on my hand, it was a pity that Qing Yu squeezed the grape juice early in the morning.

"Mu Yu, how are you?" I just got one hand burned, and she had both hands burned, which must have been much worse than mine. I turned to look at Mu Yu, and saw that Qing Yu was carefully washing Mu Yu's hands with clean water.

Mu Yu raised his head and gave me a reassuring smile: "I'm fine!" ”

"It's okay."

"Your Highness, you're all blistered!" Xiao Ye put my hand to her lips and carefully blew on the cool air, "Let's send the imperial doctor to give you some medicine!" ”

"No need."

"It's good to get better quickly after taking medicine......"

Looking at Qing Yu's gentle application of ointment to Mu Yu's reddened skin, I was inexplicably irritable, and my voice unconsciously turned into a roar: "The palace said no need, why are you so verbose!" ”

"Your Highness?" Xiao Ye looked at me at a loss, as if she didn't expect me to be so angry.

"It's okay, this palace is not so squeamish, no need to take medicine." After saying that, I sat down and picked up my chopsticks to eat as if nothing had happened.

After Qing Yu gave Mu Yu the medicine, he walked up to me and picked up my left hand, "Your Highness, let's take some medicine, you are more injured than Princess Anping." Without waiting for me to answer, Qing Yu soaked my hand in cold water, carefully wiped it clean, used a silver needle to pick up the blisters on the back of my hand, and took out the ointment to carefully help me spread it evenly. That's when I got back to my seat.

I don't know why, but I feel very panicked. Thinking that Hua said that Mu Yu would definitely affect my life, and even snatch what should belong to me. I don't care about any of this, if Mu Yu likes something about me, I'll give it to her. But when Hua left, when he talked about my destined lover, I firmly believed that Qing Yu was my destined lover, but in this life, I am not Lin Muyu, and I have not replaced Lin Muyu's identity, I am the female prince Gu Tianba!

If Qing Yu is my destined lover in this life, what does it have to do with Gu Tianba, my life is Lin Muyu, and Qing Yu is Lin Muyu's destined lover, not me, Gu Tianba's destined lover.

Gu Tianba and Lin Muyu fell into the water at the same time, the person Qing Yu chose to save was Mu Yu, and he also came to save me after rescuing Mu Yu first, and now, Mu Yu and I were scalded at the same time, and Qing Yu also came to give me medicine after helping Mu Yu deal with it. In addition, Mu Yu entered Qing Yu's courtyard alone, came out and lied to me, all of this seems to remind me that in this life, I am not Lin Muyu, and everything that is destined belongs to her Lin Muyu, not mine.

Mu Yu is me in this life, but I have become a different person. I feel like I'm a third party interfering in other people's feelings. This feeling makes me despise myself, obviously Qingyu and Mu Yu are so compatible, but I covet other people's lovers, it's really undeserved!

Everything seemed like a mess, and I hated the mess. After breakfast, I asked Manager Xu to send Mu Yu out of the palace, called Qing Yu to the study, and asked him very directly, "Qing Yu, what are you staying in the East Palace for?" ”

Xiao Qingyu didn't expect Gu Tianba to ask this question, of course it was his master's order to stay in the East Palace, and he was very resistant at first, but he didn't know when he started, he didn't think about leaving the East Palace anymore. It's like he's supposed to stay here. Naturally. If he had to give a reason, he really didn't know how to answer.

"The Divine Doctor Valley will not look at the wealth of Tianyuguo." I told him my analysis first, "It is rumored that the Divine Medicine Valley was built by the Fengqi royal family, and the royal family of Fengqi Kingdom is surnamed Xiao, Qing Yu will not have anything to do with Fengqi Kingdom, right?" ”

"I'm just a side branch of the Xiao family, and I have nothing to do with the Fengqi royal family."

"What about the Valley of the Divine Doctors? Do you dare to say that you don't mean that you stay in this East Palace? ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Xiao Qingyu wanted to find a reason to prevaricate in the past, but when the words came to her lips, Xiao Qingyu suddenly realized that she was unwilling to deceive her with those lies, "Your Highness, Master is as kind to me as a mountain. I can't disobey Master's orders. But for the time being, I, Xiao Qingyu, will never do anything to hurt His Highness. "Is it really just Master's order to stay in the East Palace? Xiao Qingyu felt that these words did not express his thoughts, but he didn't know too much about what he had missed, he only felt that something was faintly sprouting in his heart, but he couldn't see it really.

"Qing Yu, if you want Tianyuguo, I am willing to offer it with both hands. As long as you promise me, let the people of Tianyu Kingdom stop being as unclothed and hungry as they are now. I'm sure you can do it better than I do. ”

I even thought of letting my father recognize Qing Yu as his righteous son, so that Qing Yu could rightfully inherit the throne. What I entrusted to him was the entire Tianyu Kingdom. Instead of giving Tianyuguo as a gift. Qing Yu is no longer my destined lover, and when Qing Yu reigns in the world, the woman standing next to him has nothing to do with me. I am still the ostrich Lin Muyu, the Lin Muyu who imagines himself as Lin Muyu.

"Your Highness, I never thought of asking for your Tianyuguo." Xiao Qingyu even reminded Gu Tianba, intentionally or unintentionally, to prevent Su Chonghua from taking sole control of the army, in fact, in his heart, he had already decided that Gu Tianba had more faith than Su Chonghua and had the ability to let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment.

"So what do you want? Or, what does your master want from this heavenly Yuguo? ”

Xiao Qingyu didn't want Tianyu Kingdom, but the purpose of the Divine Medicine Valley was to use the power of Tianyu Kingdom to restore Fengqi Kingdom. To put it bluntly, what the master wants is this heavenly Yuguo!

"No matter what they want, I will protect His Highness!" Xiao Qingyu has a feeling that now this Gu Tianba has the expectation of letting the people live and work in peace and contentment, but she has no ambition to rule the world, or, she is no different from ordinary women, all she wants is the love of her children, but she is not at ease to hand over Tianyuguo to others casually.

If she wasn't Gu Tianba, not the crown prince of Tianyuguo, and didn't have the burden of Tianyuguo on her shoulders, maybe she would live more chic and comfortable. But she has the mind to worry about the country and the people, and she will not irresponsibly leave the huge Tianyuguo and leave.

Xiao Qingyu knew that Master's restoration of Fengqi Country was not for selfish gain, the world was peaceful in Fengqi Country for 400 years, and the people had enough food and clothing. Restoration of unification is the best outcome. And in that case, Tianyuguo will die sooner or later. If she retreats bravely now, she will definitely be able to protect herself, but then Tianyuguo will be in chaos, which is not what she wants, let alone what the Divine Medicine Valley wants. But if she doesn't leave, she will one day be cut down by the restored Fengqi royal family.

What Xiao Qingyu promised today is to protect her from this stormy and troubled world. But the girl standing opposite Xiao Qingyu didn't know about these. Even many years later, she was still thinking about whether Xiao Qingyu's words that day were sincere, or whether she just told a lie to please her like Yizhu.

I left Qing Yu and Zhuang Yuan Xun to accompany me to criticize the folds, I thought, if one day I really don't want to be Gu Tianba anymore, I hope that the person who replaces me in this position is Qing Yu. I also believe that Qing Yu will definitely take over from me to take care of Mu Yu, because they are destined lovers.

Xuanyuan Che had the best relationship with Qin Ruoan before, and since I abolished the ban on people in the East Palace not practicing martial arts, the two of them have often studied martial arts together. Legend has it that Xuanyuan Che was once the best prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, and Wen Taowu was not under General Chonghua. If he is arranged in the army, working together with Qin Ruoan will definitely be able to suppress Su Chonghua's momentum as quickly as possible. But his identity is so special that I don't dare to rashly arrange him in the army. Otherwise, if one day he replaces Su Chonghua and uses the Tianyu army to destroy Tianyu and restore Xiliang, then I will have no place to cry if I want to.

Today he came to the study and proposed that he wanted to go to the army for training, if I rejected his request, this would be too ostentatious to treat Qin Ruoan differently. What to do?

"Your Highness, you have caused a lot of turmoil in letting Gongzi Qin go to the army for training, if you arrange Xuanyuan Gongzi again, I am afraid that the generals in the army will be suspicious. On the contrary, it is not good for the future of the two princes, it is better to let the prince Xuanyuan go to the Imperial Forest Army to guard the life of His Royal Highness. What does Your Highness think? ”

Qing Yu's suggestion is not bad, although this Imperial Forest Army is a palace guard, but after all, under my nose, even if Xuanyuan Che has any ideas, there are still commanders above who can't make any waves under him. And my net worth and life are naturally responsible for the gold-faced master. If Xuanyuan Che just wants to make a career in Tianyu, this Imperial Forest Army is a good choice.

"What Qing Yu said makes sense, Master Xuanyuan, what do you think?"

"Everything is arranged by His Highness."
