Mu Hongshang looked at Zheng Ying, her eyes were slightly surprised, which made her bright eyes seem even brighter.

After Zheng Ying asked that sentence, he seemed to be a little self-defeating, he simply gave up covering it up and let the surging emotions in his eyes flow out. He looked at Mu Hongsheng's face cautiously, waiting for her answer, but he seemed to be afraid of her answer.

Why is she afraid, Zheng Ying can't tell what she feels in her heart. But he knows Mu Hongshang too well, he knows himself too well, and he understands their situation better. He knew how desperate he was when he asked that sentence, and he knew that there were some things, even if they were spoken...... It didn't work.

Sure enough, a moment later, a bitter smile appeared on Mu Hongsheng's lips, and there was a trace of bitterness in her eyes, and then she quickly lowered her head to hide her expression.

"You know it's impossible." Mu Hongshang replied: "Me and you, it has never been possible. The emperor will not allow it, and it is impossible for my family to agree. ”

Zheng Ying was silent. But he didn't let go of his hand, but persistently asked: "I'm asking you." Do you want to, if you want to......"

"The emperor has decreed that I will be appointed as a school captain," Mu Hongsheng interrupted Zheng Ying's words: "I am no longer a young lady in the back house waiting to get married. To tell the truth, from the moment I decided to go to the north, I had already thought about it, if I didn't get married, in this life, I would stay in the north with my father and brothers, and I would guard the border for as long as they wanted. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, how can a girl not marry, don't say such things." Zheng Ying tugged at the corners of her mouth, trying to treat Mu Hongsheng's answer as a joke. But he tried hard for a long time and was unsuccessful, because he knew that Mu Hongshang was serious.

"Lord Wang, you said that as long as I want, you will do your best to fulfill my wishes." Mu Hongshang raised her head and smiled at Zheng Ying, that smile was beautiful, but it was a little lonely.

"Then I hope we're all okay." She said, "You're all right, I'm all right." In the future, you will be a prince and a king, and you will stay in the court, so that I will have no worries. I'm in the north, guarding the border passes, so that you don't have to worry about the future. ”

Zheng Ying looked at Mu Hongshang in a daze, his throat was choked, and he was stunned for a long time before he successfully found his voice: "You...... Forget it, it's too early to say what will happen next. If you insist on leaving, I won't stop you. I'll wait for you to come back. ”

Zheng Ying tried to make herself look more relaxed, but it was clear that she was unsuccessful. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he would say such a thing. It seems that as long as it is about Mu Hongsheng, he has been compromising from beginning to end.

He retreated again and again, almost reached his bottom line, and now he didn't expect anything, he just hoped that Mu Hongshang could seriously agree that she would come back.

As long as she's willing to come back...... As long as she's willing to ......

However, Zheng Ying didn't almost listen to Mu Hongsheng's answer anymore, so as soon as Mu Hongsheng opened her mouth, the steward of the Mu family hurriedly ran in.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!" The steward was in a hurry at the door and shouted: "Lord Ling is in a hurry to find His Highness!" The emperor urgently ordered you to enter the palace. ”

Father's urgent edict? Zheng Ying was stunned for a moment. He just came out of the palace, there must be something important, so his father was so anxious, and he specially sent someone to the Anguo Mansion to look for him.

He turned his head and looked at Mu Hongsheng, wanting to hear Mu Hongsheng's answer before leaving, but Mu Hongsheng had already taken a step back and urged him: "Lord, the emperor is looking for you in such a hurry, there must be something important, you go quickly." ”

Zheng Ying didn't have time to hesitate any longer, he had to turn around and leave, and as he walked, he said, "I'll come back later." ”

Mu Hongsheng didn't answer, he followed behind Zheng Ying, sent him to the gate of Anguo Mansion, and then watched him get on the horse and leave. She leaned against the door and kept looking at the direction of Zheng Ying's departure, until his back completely disappeared around the corner, she lowered her head, looked lost, and sighed almost inaudibly.

"Red Dress! Red Dress! Gu Yilan suddenly hurriedly walked through the hall and walked towards Mu Hongsheng at the gate of the mansion, she was in a hurry, slightly panting, her sideburns were scattered, Mu Hongsheng hurriedly greeted her after seeing her.

Gu Yilan grabbed Mu Hongsheng's arm and asked anxiously, "Let me ask you, is what grandmother said true?" The emperor made you a lieutenant and let you go with the army the day after tomorrow? ”

"Sister-in-law," Mu Hongsheng turned around and held Gu Yilan's hands, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, I will be fine, and my eldest brother will be fine." We will fight off the Rongdi people and come back well. You trust me. ”

Gu Yilan immediately cried, but she quickly wiped her tears, tried to hold back her whimper, trembled her lips, and tried to show a smile at Mu Hongsheng. Gu Yilan looks so beautiful, but this reluctant smile is still ugly, and it seems to reveal some indescribable bitterness, which makes people sad when they see it.

Gu Yilan knew that the emperor had made an order, and it was useless to say anything at the moment, so she forced herself to laugh and cheer up. She in turn held Mu Hongsheng's hand and shook her head vigorously: "It's okay, it's okay, I know, you will come back, and your eldest brother will come back too." You're going to be fine. Little sister, don't worry, sister-in-law will pack your luggage for you, it's too late. It must be in time. ”

Gu Yilan's words, I don't know if she was comforting herself, or reassuring Mu Hongsheng. She tried to take a few deep breaths, then turned and walked back, and as she went, she said pretending to be brisk: "We will leave early the day after tomorrow, and we must hurry up and pack up." There's so much to do. I...... I'm going to stare at ...... Lotus leaves, they ......"

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't suppress the tremors in her voice. Mu Hongshang walked a few steps to chase after her, and stretched out her hand to grab her: "Sister-in-law......"

"You go and accompany your grandmother and aunt." Gu Yilan lowered her head, didn't look at Mu Hongsheng's face, and said quickly: "Give me the salute, otherwise I can't rest assured." You don't care, just go ...... Accompanied by grandmother and aunt. They ......"

"Okay." Mu Hongshang didn't argue, she understood Gu Yilan's mood very well, so not only did she not stop Gu Yilan, but instead made many requests: "Give me some sturdy and durable robes, as well as shoes, don't want satin, don't want purses, but pack a few more belts, and wear swords, it will break quickly." If my sister-in-law has anything to bring to my eldest brother, she will also pack it up and hand it over to me. ”

"I'll take care of you first, and I'll have to prepare some dry food." Gu Yilan hurriedly walked back without raising her head: "When you get to the north, you have to ride a horse often, I'm afraid there are not enough boots." I first asked Fang Zhi to rush to the ready-to-wear store to buy two pairs, make do with it first, and then ask someone to bring it to you when I make a new one. ”
