Wen Po's face was full of joy, and she simply explained a few words and went to receive the reward.

Shen Muqing looked at the messy room, stepped into the door lightly, the smell of blood was everywhere, and Li Shu had slept peacefully although he was sweating profusely.

"Old fox, their child has just been born, how can he be willing to do it!"

Shen Muqing was stunned for a while, and before he could answer, he found that Ruan Muheng was already missing from his side.

She shook her head with a wry smile, looked down at the child in her arms, it was still a small milk ball with no eyebrows, her mouth kept spitting something, and her whole body was quite clean, she thought that Li Shu should like it very much when she woke up.

Shen Muqing stayed until Li Shu woke up in the afternoon, and told her a lot of things to pay attention to before returning to the princess's mansion.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Ruan Muheng holding a child in his arms, as if he was telling him something interesting, and the child was amused by him.

Ruan Muheng said excitedly, looked up and just saw Shen Muqing who had returned late, he put down the child in his arms, and explained simply: "Go play, you can go to play anywhere in the princess's mansion." ”

"Thank you, big brother." The little milk dumpling jumped off Ruan Muheng's body, and he didn't seem to notice Shen Muqing in white in front of the door.

"Who is he? Are you an illegitimate child in this era? Looking at the back of the little boy jumping away, Shen Muqing asked as he walked.

It's a pity that she only saw the child's back just now, and didn't see what it looked like.

Ruan Muheng shook his head, he didn't walk over to meet Shen Muqing, but turned around and picked up the teacup on the stone table on the side, he was still thinking about how to talk to Shen Muqing and tell her the news of Xie Zixu's death.

He found the topic and asked, "Why did you come back so early?" Did Li Shu's child come to life safely? ”

"Well, it's a boy, and he doesn't have eyebrows yet!"

Ruan Muheng had his back to Shen Muqing, he couldn't see the girl's reddened eyes, but he just listened to her voice with some forbearance.

He thought that today's incident should be enough for Shen Muqing to digest, so he would better wait for the news of Xie Zixu's death with Shen Muqing tomorrow.

It's just that before he turned around, Shen Muqing had already spoken: "Ruan Muheng, Xie Zixu, he... He..."

Shen Muqing held back her tears and said for a long time, but she didn't say that Xie Zixu was dead, she resisted and didn't accept this matter from the bottom of her heart, so she couldn't say this sentence out of her mouth no matter what.

"He's gone, I know." Ruan Muheng, who was cautious just now, became irrelevant after finding out that Shen Muqing already knew, he poured a cup of tea and walked towards Shen Muqing behind him.

"Don't cry, the mission has begun, and if you finish it early, you can go back early."

"I don't understand, why is Xie Zixu so ruthless, leaving their orphans and widows to guard the border pass, can't others go?"

"Nope." Ruan Muheng shook his head calmly, "This is the price of Xie Zixu's marriage to Li Shu, the ending he should have thought of a long time ago." ”

"The price?" Shen Muqing looked at Ruan Muheng puzzled, "The marriage contract they have made since childhood, where did it come from?" ”

Ruan Muheng helped Shen Muqing to the stone bench and put the tea in her cold little hand, "Is Li Shu beautiful?" ”

"Dai eyebrows and phoenix eyes, small nose goose egg face, beautiful."

"Li Shu has solved the plague with the prefect, lived with wolves, and saved the prince of the wild people in the border pass, is she talented and brave?"

Shen Muqing listened stunned and nodded.

"It is common for the emperor to be emotional, good-looking, talented and brave women, and it is common for the emperor not to get this kind of woman, but it is also common for him to destroy if he can't get it."

Shen Muqing nodded and shook his head as if he didn't understand, "I don't understand, you only let me see the past of Li Shu marrying Xie Zixu, and didn't tell me what happened halfway, because the emperor fell in love with Li Shu, and Li Shu didn't marry him, so he wanted to target Xie Zixu?" ”

Ruan Muheng smiled meaninglessly and said: "The person he wants to target has always been Li Shu, Li Shu's father was a national teacher, in order to let his daughter marry Xie Zixu as he wished, he sacrificed his body, although the emperor agreed to the request of the national teacher, but it does not mean that he gave up, he sent Li Shu to pray for the plague victims, and deceived her to the border pass when Li Shu returned to Beijing safely, the way was thrilling, she spent a night with the wolf, and also rescued the wild prince who went out hunting. ”

"Since they saved the prince, why do they still attack our border."

"After the emperor learned about it, he said several times that Li Shu had not yet been married, and Prince Peye could come to ask for peace, and the night before Li Shu got married, he asked people to send a letter to Prince Panye, which was full of stories about how Xie Zixu forced Li Shu to marry, when you know that your savior was forced to marry, will you endure it?"

Shen Muqing understood everything now, the bad thing was her father, and she, the princess, helped others several times just to forgive her sins.

Ruan Muheng smiled and took the cup in Shen Muqing's hand that was about to be crushed by her, "Now let's think about how to hide it from Li Shu, there are ten letters in the study that Xie Zixu wrote to Li Shu." ”

Shen Muqing didn't care about Ruan Muheng anymore, and rushed to the study in a hurry, Nan Fengshuo saw that Shen Muqing was gone, so he came quietly, pulled Ruan Muheng's clothes, and looked at him innocently.

Ruan Muheng said in an extraordinarily gentle tone: "What's wrong?" Isn't there anything fun in the house? ”

Nangong Shuo changed the truth and became gossipy and asked, "Is that beautiful sister in white the wife of the eldest brother?" ”

Ruan Muheng frowned lightly, and said comfortably: "Sort of, children don't gossip like this." ”

"She's so pretty, but she's still a little stingy compared to my mother."

"You will definitely be as beautiful as your mother in the future." Ruan Muheng laughed and picked up the milk dumplings that couldn't reach his knees.

"Big brother knows I'm a little girl?"

"Big brother also knows that you are not Nangong Shuo, you are Nangong Shuo's sister Nangong Qingxue."

The little milk dumpling bowed her head and was silent, as if she remembered something sad, and fiddled with her clothes.

Ruan Muheng touched her head, "I'll find you a home, you will be very happy in the future." ”

General's Palace

Li Shu looked at the sweet child sleeping in the cradle, and instructed the maid serving beside him: "Go and get me the four treasures, I will draw the baby asleep and send it to the general to see, so that the general can give my son a resounding name." ”

"Yes."

The candle flame gradually dimmed, Li Shu looked at the painting in his hand with satisfaction, and said funny and angry: "Son, why are you like your father, you were born without eyebrows, don't have a pair of sword eyebrows like him, and dislike those thick eyebrows for your mother." ”

Li Shu, who said disgust, filled in the eyebrows for the baby's painting with two heavy strokes, looking at the eyebrows that were incompatible with the baby's face, Li Shu seemed to have imagined Xie Zixu's shocked expression after seeing the painting, and smiled at the child stupidly.
