"Of course, I went to the palace to see the emperor." Feng said calmly, "This time, the emperor has helped me a lot in my father's affairs, and I should go and thank him." ”

"Moreover, I haven't seen him for more than half a month, and I don't know how he is doing, I want to go and see."

"Although I can sneak into the palace myself, if I don't have a pass, it will be a lot more difficult, please, lend me the token, I can pay you."

Qin Luo was very helpless, give her the token herself, and then the emperor would blame her again, if she didn't give it, she would sneak into the palace, in case she was caught and made trouble with the emperor, she would still be blamed.

She was the one who was injured, why was she so miserable?

"Okay, but if the emperor blames him, don't say that I gave you the token."

Feng Qing took the token in ecstasy and promised, "Don't worry, I will say that I stole it as before." ”

When he entered the palace, it was not too late, Feng Qingfang knew that Mu Liancheng must still be doing things, so he went directly to the imperial study.

This time, she didn't hide anymore, but went directly to Li Cocoon.

"Miss Fengsan? What are you doing here? What Li Cocoon wanted to ask was actually how she got in.

Feng smiled obediently and said, "I came to visit the emperor, I haven't seen you for a few months, Gonggong Li has become more and more energetic, and his whole person is radiant and younger." ”

Being praised like this, Li Cocoon suddenly smiled from ear to ear.

"The third girl is really beautiful to speak, as if she has honey on her mouth."

"Then for the sake of me being so good at talking, can Gonggong Li be accommodating and let me in?"

Li Cocoon shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work, let me go in first and report it." ”

Feng Qingfang thought to himself, if Mu Liancheng knew that he was coming, it was not certain that he would not see him, what if he directly asked him to leave? Didn't she come for nothing? That's not going to work!

So she hurriedly dragged Li Cocoon.

"Father-in-law and slow ......"

Inside the Imperial Study.

Mu Liancheng was busy reviewing the last batch of notes sent today.

He reached out and picked up the teacup on the table, and after two sips, he found that the teacup was dry, so he picked up the teapot and added water, but the pot was empty, so he had to call someone.

"Come on, make a new pot of tea!"

Mu Liancheng is used to staying alone when he is working, and there can't be anyone else around, so even if it's Li Cocoon, he has to wait outside, and he will only go in when there is an order or an urgent matter to report inside.

It didn't take long for footsteps to approach, but Mu Liancheng didn't look up, still staring at the song.

When someone poured the tea and should have withdrawn automatically, there was no movement.

Mu Liancheng frowned unhappily, raised his head and said, "Why haven't you retreated...... Frivolous? How are you? ”

"The emperor has a lot of opportunities, he is working state affairs, and he has worked hard, so let's have a cup of tea and slow down, right?" Feng Qingfang smiled and handed the teacup over.

Mu Liancheng took a sip and asked, "How did you get in?" Li Cocoon: Aren't they there? ”

Feng Qing laughed wildly: "I'm a snitch, isn't it a piece of cake to sneak into the palace?" Father-in-law Li and them were all put down by me. ”

"Down?" Mu Liancheng was secretly surprised, "Are you drugged again?" ”

"yes, how do you know? There are so many of them that I can't control them without smoke. Feng Qing looked quite excited when he spoke wildly.

"You're so daring." Mu Liancheng couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "Why did you come this time?" ”

Feng smiled and replied: "There is nothing special, just to see you, besides, you have helped me a lot during this time, and I should also come to say thank you." ”

"Actually, it's not necessary, everything I do is for the court, for official business, and to put it bluntly, for myself, without any other feelings." Mu Liancheng said lightly.

"Then you stayed by my side when I was injured, also for business?" Feng Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Mu Liancheng looked away, paused, and replied: "Naturally, it's not for official business, you and I have known each other for many years, and we have experienced a lot of ups and downs together, and we can be regarded as friends, and friends take care of each other, shouldn't it?" ”

"Friends?" Feng took a step forward frantically, staring at the other party without blinking, "You just treat me as a friend?" Nothing else? ”

"There used to be, but now there isn't." Mu Liancheng lowered his head slightly and said, as if he didn't dare to look at Feng Qingyan, "Now you and I are just friends at most, I hope you understand." ”

Feng Qingfang still stared at him, saying that it was fake not to be sad, but even if he was sad, he couldn't show it.

"Okay, in that case, then I should be fine if I stay with you for a few days, right?"

"What?" Mu Liancheng was confused by her words for a while, "You have a national mansion to live in, why do you want to live in the palace?" ”

"Because I want to live in the palace, anyway, it's strange and lonely for you to live alone in this huge palace, isn't it good to have a friend live in with you?" Feng smiled wildly.

"Looking at the emperor's reluctance, isn't he really so stingy? I'm such a thin person, and I don't take up space, you can just give me a room to sleep in, or you can arrange me to go to the room to wash clothes. ”

Mu Liancheng couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "You really don't occupy space, but you eat a lot, you live in the palace, you have to consume a few catties of rice every day, I am very poor, I am trying to save food and send it to the disaster area recently, but there is no extra ration for you to eat." ”

"...... you" Feng Qing flattened his mouth and glared at him with a resentful expression, "I eat more than ordinary girls, but I can't eat you poor, right?" Big deal, I just eat less at every meal. ”

"How bad is that? In case I am hungry, how can I explain to Princess Ding? ”

The two were talking and laughing, and there was laughter in the originally quiet imperial study.

Suddenly, Mu Liancheng put away his smiling face, and asked with a straight face: "Frivolous, what do you want?" I said that you don't need your pity and sympathy, you should do what you want. ”

Feng smiled wildly and said, "What I want to do now is to accompany you, who said that I sympathize with you and pity you?" Can't I really like you? ”

"And what about the freedom you want? Are you sure you won't want to run away from here again? Mu Liancheng looked at her eyes steadily, his eyes full of doubt, "Frivolous, if you are not completely sure of your intentions, then don't come to me again, get along like now, it will be good for you and me." ”

"I understand what you mean, and I understand your concerns, but I have come to tell you these words after careful consideration," Feng Qingyan said very seriously, "I do like to live freely, and I used to think that freedom is more important than anyone and everything, but after the past few years of wandering abroad, I have found that this is not the case. ”

"During that time, I was free, I could go wherever I wanted, but I wasn't happy because my heart was trapped, and wherever I went, I always remembered everything here, and the longer it was, the harder it was to forget."

"On the contrary, when I returned to the capital, a place that I once regarded as a cage, although people are not as free as before, I feel happy and meaningful."

Hearing this, Mu Liancheng's originally frowning brows gradually stretched, and an imperceptible smile flowed from his mouth.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Feng nodded frantically: "Of course." ”

"What about that young master Jiang of yours? You also put it down? Mu Liancheng suddenly asked again.

"What do you call my one?" Feng felt funny and angry when he didn't leave, "I haven't had anything to do with him for a long time, don't you know?" ”

Mu Liancheng snorted, and said with a straight face: "You said so, no one knows if you really think so in your heart, besides, Jiang Mingche has never given up pestering you, and he will find a way to come to you in the future." ”

"If in the future, if I want to eradicate the Sanssouci Gate, and I completely become an enemy with Jiang Mingche, and the two are facing each other, what will happen to you?"

The latter question, in fact, Feng Qingyan had already thought about it, and he had already made a choice when Jiang Mingche was arrested.

"First of all, I really don't have anything to do with Jiang Mingche anymore, he has been pestering me before, it's because he refuses to give up, it's not me."

"In addition, I made it clear to Jiang Mingche last time I was in prison, and I didn't promise to save him, which broke his heart, and he shouldn't come to me again."

"As for what you said about eradicating the worry-free door in the future, of course I am on the side of you and the imperial court, what happens to Jiang Mingche has nothing to do with me, all I care about now is my family and friends."

This answer basically satisfied Mu Liancheng.

There is only one thing.

"So, which of these two categories do you classify me into?"

"None of them." Feng replied immediately, seeing that the other party's face was not very good-looking, and explained, "You are the third category." ”

Mu Liancheng suppressed the joy in his heart, "Oh? Tell me about it? ”

Feng Qingfang grinned and said, "Guess for yourself, I won't tell you." ”

The two looked at each other, and the room fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little delicate.

After a long silence, Mu Liancheng lowered his head and pretended to review the recital, "It's late at night, you better hurry back to the mansion." ”

I finally got the words out, shouldn't I go back to my previous state after a period of silence?

Feng Qing thought about it wildly, turned his heart sideways, and let it go, what is reserved?

"I'm not leaving, I'm staying."

Mu Liancheng looked up, his face was full of surprise, and in a trance, he seemed to see the shadow of Feng Qingfang who was always running behind him many years ago?

"What can you do if you stay? I don't have idlers here. ”

Feng smiled wildly and said, "Serving tea and pouring water, my tea-making skills have improved a lot, right?" ”

"Is there one? I didn't taste it. ”

"How is that possible? How many more bites do you have? ”

"There are more people in the palace who can make tea, and there are many of you."

"But I'm more attentive than they are."
