Meng Li's gaze seemed to be looking at Mu Yunyi, but he was obviously far away and distant, "If you only become the most powerful person in the clan, can you protect the most important person in my heart......"

In the next moment, the young man's eyes had become firm and resolute: "Then from now on, the King of Taqiu Domain is what I want." ”

Speaking of Ta Qiulian, although he has civil and military skills and high means, he is ambitious and self-serving, and he and Meng Li are not born to the same mother, in recent years, his maternal ancestor Fang family has become more and more powerful in the court, and he has the tendency of the dictatorship of his relatives.

If you want to have a foreign relative, it is a taboo for the lord to mess with the government, and the feudal land is like a small country, let alone an exception. Mu Yunyi has always been able to vaguely feel that Meng Li seems to be unwilling to provoke the world and does not like to be restrained, in addition to his natural love of freedom, there are other reasons, she has guessed that maybe Meng Li behaved like this, but he just wanted to exchange forbearance and concession for peace and tranquility, but can all this really be as he wants?

But Mu Yunyi has never talked about this matter with Meng Li head-on, after all, it is just her own conjecture, after all, it is Meng Li's own family affairs and the clan affairs of the Taqiu tribe, and it is inconvenient for her as an outsider to put too much beak.

What's more, everyone has secrets that everyone wants to hide and guard, since Meng Li has already made such a choice, why should he force him to face it?

Mu Yunyi has never liked to be tried to be seen through, and she will not take the initiative to try to remove other people's masks.

"Ah Li."

"Huh?" Meng Li suddenly came back to his senses, because Mu Yunyi had never called him like that, ...... Intimacy.

"You've worked hard these days."

"Little Yiyi, you ......"

From returning to Taqiu Dao to regain the position of the prince, Meng Li only used a few words to pass it aside, but Mu Yunyi was born in the royal family, how could she not know how cruel and bloody the road to the throne was, even if it was a close brother, in front of that supreme position, it would become worthless.

"I don't know what you've been through in the past two months, but you're in front of me right now. I always knew you could. ”

On that day, Meng Li personally sent his brother to become a prisoner, he was in pain, although it was noon when the sun was shining, his heart was like falling into a thousand ice abysses, and he couldn't feel the slightest warmth. But this is the path he chooses for himself, he can't complain, let alone be timid, he can only go on with a blank face.

And at this moment, in the bumpy carriage and cramped space, he really felt the warmth.

Mu Yunyi took the initiative to hold Meng Li's slightly trembling hand, "Ah Li, as long as this is what you want, it's fine." ”

"Xiao Yiyi, thank you."

Yes, this is what Meng Li wants, he wants to protect the people he values most, his mother, his father, and Mu Yunyi.

Mu Yunyi followed Meng Li back to the official post, and before she got out of the carriage and went in, she noticed countless pairs of "eyes" planted around her, but fortunately, she never took off the silk scarf on her face, and only pretended to be Meng Li's maidservant, but no one noticed anything unusual.

"Shizi, you're back." The attendant who came from Ta Qiu came forward, this person was personally trained for him by Meng Li's father, and he was very shrewd, and he did not show any surprise at the woman who suddenly appeared behind the prince.

"Well, I don't have to prepare dinner, I'm going to go out in a minute."

"My subordinates understand."

"Son, come in and wait for a change." Meng Li didn't look at Mu Yunyi more, and his tone was only to call any ordinary maidservant.

"Yes, Shizi."

Walking through the courtyard back to the bedroom, Mu Yunyi casually closed the door, but after entering, the two didn't say much, Mu Yunyi walked to the inner room, took a set of dry brocade robes from the shelf, and walked to Meng Li's side, "Come." ”

Meng Li looked at Mu Yunyi inexplicably, lowered his voice and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"The slave waits for the prince to change his clothes."

Meng Li's face suddenly turned rare and he took a step back, "I, I'm just making a show for outsiders, you...... You don't have to take it seriously. ”

Mu Yunyi put her index finger on her lips, then pointed out the door, and said in lip language: "To do a play, you have to do a full set." ”

Meng Li took the clothes from Mu Yunyi's hand, as if facing some kind of flood beast, and slipped around her into the inner room to close the screen, "I'll be fine soon!" ”

Mu Yunyi couldn't help but smile when he looked at Meng Li's confused appearance, he looked like Meng Lang was uninhibited on weekdays, but he was so easy to be shy.

When Meng Li came out again, he had already changed into a long pine moon white brocade robe, Mu Yunyi picked a silver moon hair crown from the drawer and handed it to Meng Li, "This is more appropriate." ”

"Oh." Meng Li took it and pinned it in a daze, "Let's go." ”

After leaving the official post, Mu Yunyi and Meng Li did not take the carriage, but walked on the street on foot, the two glanced at each other, and walked quickly into the crowded crowd.

When Meng Li definitely threw off a few "tails" behind him, finally turned left and right, stopped in front of a tavern, and walked in, Mu Yunyi was already sitting in the middle room.

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and Meng Li sat opposite Mu Yunyi casually.

"Remember it." Mu Yunyi poured him a small half glass of wine.

"How can you not remember that this is the first place you and I drank together." Meng Li said, raised his head and drank the contents of the cup, frowning when he tasted the taste, "Plum wine? I remember that you kept the best autumn dew here, but don't hide it, tell them to bring it up. ”

"The autumn dew is good, but the stamina is also strong, you and I still drink some sweet these days." Mu Yunyi smiled and added another cup for him.

"Okay, okay." Although Meng Li was greedy, he also knew that in the special period, he must not have any accidents, so he had to give up, "Xiao Yiyi, I was thinking all the way, if I didn't show up today, what would happen to the power, after all, he is Xiao Ye's person, even if he recognizes you, it won't be a big deal?" ”

Mu Yunyi took a small sip of plum stuffing, "He's not Xiao Ye's person anymore." ”

"What?" Meng Li didn't understand what "someone who is not Xiao Ye" meant.

"Since you entered the city, have you seen Xiao Ye or heard from him?"

After she said this, Meng Li suddenly realized, "Yes! That's true, since I came to Hyunyin City, I haven't seen Xiao Ye either when I entered the palace or when I was socializing on weekdays, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't have been sent out to fight during this time. ”

"That's because Shi Quan has betrayed the old master and replaced Xiao Ye."

"So where is Xiao Ye? What is the situation? ”

"No one knows, it seems to have disappeared overnight, Empress Dowager Xi and the emperor kept silent in the court, and the courtiers didn't dare to ask."

Mu Yunyi's news will not go wrong, Meng Li was secretly shocked, the Xiao family has been a general, and Xiao Ye is a general who has gone through three dynasties, how could he disappear all of a sudden, this is really amazing and embarrassing.
