Shiqiao and Jiuqing's were put aside in advance, and the group found a place to sit down. Qianmo and Hua Zhuo were studying the map.

Behind the large white space on the map is a long, winding path. The trail leads to a high hillside, and on either side of the path, there is a lake.

"Let's go to the lake and recuperate." After Hua Zhuo finished speaking, he motioned to Yun Yi and them to explore the way first, and then the group took a good wash for the first time after entering the Nine Shadows.

At night, the sky gradually darkens, and a peaceful comfort spreads by the lake with quiet lakeside, warm bonfires, and people sitting together in twos and threes, waiting quietly or talking in whispers. Let this group of people who are already physically and mentally exhausted get a little relaxation and comfort for a while.

"Qing'er," Hua Zhuo sat beside her, her eyes looking at the lake and said calmly, "I said it in Jiang Zicheng's ear......"

"Ah Zhuo!" Mu Zhiqing suddenly interrupted him, "If it's inconvenient, don't say it." ”

Hua Zhuo turned her head to look at her, a faint smile of understanding on her face. "There's no inconvenience," Hua Zhuo gently held her hand, "I have nothing you can't know." Just ......"

When she heard him say this, Mu Zhiqing's face showed emotion, although she was also admonishing herself that if she wanted to trust, she had to let go, but she always had some peace of mind in her heart.

"What are you worried about?"

"Qing'er, if in the future, Yanxi will face off with the imperial court, what will happen to you?"

When Mu Zhiqing heard this, her body couldn't help but straighten. She looked into Hua Zhuo's eyes and saw that his eyes were so pure and bright under the reflection of the moonlight on the lake.

"Ah Zhuo, you ......"

"When I went to the study, although I knew that there was a difference between kings and ministers, I also thought about loyally assisting him and being his brother in my heart. However, a monarch can never be a monarch. ”

When he began to take over the Hua family's business and began to learn more about the inside story from his father Huahua, he found that the Hua family relied more on the imperial court and Shangguan Junyi. Maybe Murong Junyi has some sincerity towards him, but compared with power and the overall situation, that bit of sincerity seems so ridiculous.

And the affairs of the Hua family, the affairs of King Shuyan, the affairs of the spies, and even more places that he has not yet discovered......

"It is said that the emperor is ruthless, and the prince is ...... It's also involuntarily. Mu Zhiqing heard the meaning of his words and was melancholy, this kind of loss and heartache of "I would have illuminated the moon with my heart, but the bright moon shone on the ditch", she felt sorry for him.

It's just that after feeling distressed, she also understood Hua Zhuo's concerns. After all, his father is the special advance of Dayan, and he is also deeply trusted by Emperor Yan. In particular, the ancestor Shen Hanqing's affection for Dayan almost gave the children of the Mu family the hat of "loyalty". With such honor and responsibility, as the daughter of the Mu family, how can she do what she can do to fight against Dayan?

"Qing'er, what I originally wanted was to delay these things as much as possible, until our child was born and grew up, and then hand over Yanxi to him. Let's just find a place to live in seclusion. ”

Speaking of children, Mu Zhiqing's face softened suddenly. Her hand gently covered her lower abdomen, here, is it really a new life? She suddenly felt a little panicked and uneasy.

"Ah Zhuo, I was bitten by those living corpses before......"

"Qing'er!" Hua Zhuo held her hand, "I believe that the miracle medicine that can make us live and die should also protect our children." ”

"Really?" Mu Zhiqing didn't see her transformation with her own eyes, but she had heard Hua Zhuo talk about it, and she had always felt incredible, and she couldn't imagine it.

Hua Zhuo didn't dare to pack the ticket, just smiled slightly, close to her ear: "Even if you don't have it this time, there will always be one in the future." ”

"Ahh

Hua Zhuo didn't dodge, just hugged her into his arms: "Qing'er, I promise you, no matter how far things go, I will do my best not to embarrass you." Nor will I let ...... My father-in-law was embarrassed. ”

His sincerity and sincerity touched her, but also worried her. Today he has such a saying, and tomorrow he may really encounter it. Still, she reciprocated to him tightly. The matter of Lu Chaotian and Lu Tu is still in front of us, if it weren't for such an accident, it is very likely that heaven and man will be separated forever, and it will be them.

Since they have earned their lives by surviving, they will always have to live to the fullest in the days to come. As for the difficulties that may arise in the future, we will face them when they come. Either way, being able to be together gives them the most motivation.

"Then what did you say to Jiang Zicheng? Shocked him like that? After thinking about it like this, Mu Zhiqing no longer hid the little pimple in her heart. There are so many things that she and Hua Zhuo will face in the future, and honesty and trust will be the strongest bond between them. It can't be torn, it can't be torn.

Hua Zhuo heard her ask calmly, and the breath in her heart could finally be relieved, she really opened her heart to him. Then he, naturally, will not have the slightest concealment.

"Prince, there is also a strong opponent. It is difficult to say whether he will succeed in ascending the throne. ”

"What?" Mu Zhiqing's eyes widened, and she immediately calmed down and thought. Now in the palace, in addition to the crown prince, there is only Murong Junche, the second prince born to Concubine Wan. And the two princes compete for the crown, but the most important point is missing, that is, the help of the DPRK and China.

Although Concubine Wan is ranked as the fourth concubine in the palace, it is because Emperor Yan thinks that she is his first concubine, accompanied by her young, and she has walked together for decades in the wind and rain before she was given a thick seal. However, Concubine Wan's background is only Emperor Yan's maid, so whether it is her background or the background of the court, it is not enough to send the second prince to a high position.

And the second prince seems to be very clear about his position, and he has always been concentrating on learning how to be an auxiliary minister, not a king. Therefore, whether it is Emperor Yan or the crown prince, he still gives a lot of sincerity and care to the second prince.

When Hua Zhuo saw Mu Zhiqing's expression, she knew that she should have thought of Murong Junche.

"Qing'er," he asked softly, stroking the back of her sunburned hand as if carelessly, "who is Dayan's second prince?" ”

"Murong Jun ......" Speaking of this, Mu Zhiqing paused, no! It's not Murong Junche! Murong Junyi is the eldest son of Dayanyan, but the second born prince is not Murong Junche, but ......

"Murong Junmo?" When these four words were spoken, Mu Zhiqing couldn't help but take a deep breath. This name is a taboo of the Dayan royal family, if it weren't for Hua Zhuo mentioning it, she would even have to subconsciously forget it.

"But he's not ......" Before she could finish speaking, she met a pair of eyes full of meaning. Her heart "suddenly" jumped, "Could it be ...... Is it ......?"

"He's probably not dead!"
