Song Qing is not an ordinary person, he is thoughtful, as early as in the process of competing with Xiao He, when he inadvertently grabbed her wrist, he had already begun to suspect her gender, coupled with Duan Heng's nervousness now, he was even more convinced, he pretended to squat down to check Xiao He's injury, and inadvertently leaned into Duan Heng's ear and said, "I know your concerns, don't worry about leaving it to me." ”

If it was Mu Churan's martial arts, he would definitely not be unable to hear their conversation, but now, he was full of wanting to save Xiao He, and he had no time to take care of the people around him.

"His Royal Highness King An, please send Lord Xiao into the inner room first."

……

Duan Heng walked around the door irritably, and Mu Churan kept covering his head with two hands, supporting himself.

If he hadn't picked up the sword over there just now, maybe nothing like this would have happened.

The blood-stained sword was still in the court, but the blood on his hand kept reminding him that the wound on Xiao He's body was stabbed into it by his own hands.

Baihua was busy inside, two little maids went in and out, and pots of blood and water were brought out.

The bright red blood stung Mu Churan's pupils, this scene has also appeared before, before Xiao He was imprisoned in the prison by his own decree, and suffered whiplashes all over his body, it was the same at that time, in King An's mansion, Su Xin treated his wounds in the house, at that time, he didn't feel so guilty, because at that time, he had been doubting Xiao He in his heart.

From the beginning, every time Xiao He was injured, he couldn't get rid of himself.

It wasn't until late in the evening that Baihua came out of the room sweating profusely.

"How's it going? Is he awake? Before Duan Heng could react, Mu Churan had already rushed to Baihua.

Baihua shook her head helplessly: "Fortunately, the injury is not serious enough to endanger life." ”

Mu Churan breathed a sigh of relief.

"But he used martial arts during the day today, and his physical strength was very exertional, and he was so seriously injured and bled so much, it is estimated that he will have to rest for a long time before he can wake up. And then there'......"

"Whatever the girl has to say, just say it." Duan Heng found that there was something in Baihua that was difficult to talk about.

"It is precisely because she has just lost too much blood that I gave him a tonic to hang his heart, this medicine cannot be used with cold herbs, so if Lord Xiao's wound is painful these days, he can only endure it, and he can only use painkillers after a while."

The pain that pierced through the flesh and bones, in the past few days, he could only rely on himself to get through it, Mu Churan's fist slammed into the door frame.

"Your Majesty, you can go in and see Lord Xiao."

Mu Churan pushed open the door and walked in, but Duan Heng was standing at the door, stopping Baihua and Song Qing.

"His Royal Highness King An, is there anything else?"

Song Qing understood in his heart, looking at their reactions, Xiao He was a woman's business, Duan Heng knew, but Mu Churan didn't know, and now, he inadvertently discovered this matter, King An was looking for the two of them at this time, I'm afraid he wanted to remind the two of them.

"Lord Song is a smart person, since you choose to return to the Jiangnan water town to live a stable life in peace of mind above the court, don't do something that will affect your stable life, some things are not something you can participate in, and you can't bear the consequences, I hope you can understand that living a good life with the Hundred Flowers Girl is the life you should have."

Now that Xiao He is out of danger, there is no rush to see her, and he must remind the two people in front of him a little.

"Your Royal Highness King An, rest assured, after Lord Xiao He's injury has improved, the lower officials will arrange for you to return to Beijing, as for what you said, please rest assured, the lower officials will abide by their duties, and the things that should not be said will never flow out of the mouths of the lower officials."

"I hope so."

Duan Heng pushed open the door and walked in.

……

Mu Qingwan appeared in Shen Suhang's mansion in white, Cheng Qianqiu followed behind her in black, Mu Qingjuan's face did not have any expression, but at this time it looked infinitely sad, Mu Qingjuan, who was so lively on weekdays, was surprisingly quiet today.

"Why, you say?" It has been seven days since Shen Suhang suffered an accident, and today, it is time to be buried in a coffin.

Cheng Qianqiu looked at her worriedly behind Mu Qingxuan, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I think Lord Shen should also like you, it's the fault of the instigator behind the scenes......"

……

Shen Suhang's family background is innocent, he has only one younger brother, he is still a minor, he is still young, he doesn't know what life and death are, he is dressed in white, and he looks around with some fear, their faces are pale, and their expressions are serious, so that he does not dare to look up.

Why does my brother lie down and don't speak, why doesn't he look at Jin'er anymore, doesn't he like Jin'er the most on weekdays?

Mu Qingwan and Cheng Qianqiu stepped into the mourning hall, and the people around them saw Mu Qingwan saluting one after another, Mu Qingwan waved his hand: "This palace is here to mourn Lord Shen today, the deceased is the greatest, you don't have to be polite." ”

Mu Qingwan walked to Shen Suhang's coffin with Cheng Qianqiu, the people inside were lying quietly, just like when he was alive, still so gentle, his eyelashes were very long, and his eyes were also very good-looking, but unfortunately he would never open them again, he closed his eyes, just like he did on weekdays, hearty and delicate, just like falling asleep, but no longer like before, the corners of his lips were always hooked with that gentle smile, and his eyebrows and eyes were with that gentle smile.

"Sister......" Shen Sujin tugged on Mu Qingwan's sleeve and stared at her with wide eyes. The sister in front of me kept crying at her brother, why? Isn't my brother sleeping? Why hasn't he woken up for so many days?

Mu Qingwan lowered her head, shook her head for a while, and seemed to see Shen Suhang in a trance.

"Jin'er." Mrs. Shen wanted to pull him back, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Jin'er is still young and doesn't understand the rules......"

"No problem." Mu Qingwan squatted down and looked at the child in front of him: "What's wrong?" ”

"My brother is sleeping, don't disturb him, he was bleeding a lot before and was very tired."

Mu Qingwan was suddenly choked by his words, such a young child still doesn't know what life and death are, and he doesn't know that his brother Shen Suhang will never wake up, "Your name is Jin'er, right?" ”

The child in front of him nodded: "My name is Shen Sujin." ”

Mu Churan looked at the face in front of her that was somewhat similar to Shen Suhang, and suddenly felt very sorry for the pure-faced child in front of her, she reached out and touched Shen Sujin's head, "My brother is going to a far away place, and in these days when he is away, my sister will take his place to hurt you, okay?" "Let me take his place and protect you.

"Okay, Jin'er has a brother and a sister, sister, why are you crying?"

Shen Sujin stretched out his little hand to help Mu Qingwan in front of him wipe away his tears, Mu Qingwan found that he couldn't control his tears, and hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve and stood up.

"Mrs. Shen, since Jin'er is my younger brother, I want to ask you for one thing."

"It's naturally good that the princess likes Jin'er, if there is anything, you can say it directly."

"I want to ...... Let Jin'er follow Qianqiu to learn martial arts, if it is...... There is a way to protect yourself. Mu Qingwan didn't finish her words, she was afraid that if she talked about Shen Suhang's death again, it would touch the sore spot of the rest of the Shen family.

Old Madam Shen nodded: "Hang'er, it's because he is a weak scholar that he can ...... If the princess and Lord Cheng take a fancy to Jin'er and are willing to teach him martial arts, it will naturally be better. ”

"Mrs. Shen, you believe me, we will definitely train Jin'er to be a person who is both civil and military, and will not let Jin'er's life be threatened."

Mu Qingjuan's tears couldn't help but flow down, she couldn't stop it, Mu Qingjuan watched Shen Suhang's pale cheeks, that gentle face, little by little covered by the coffin, the nails were nailed down little by little, the person who was once so gentle to her, the person who was willing to give her such a gentle smile when he saw her at first sight, was forever sealed in this coffin, and completely cut off contact with the world......

"Sister, why does my brother sleep here, and where is he going?"

Mu Qingwan couldn't cry silently, she really couldn't bear to deceive Shen Sujin in front of her, she squatted down and watched the person in charge of the spirit lift Shen Suhang out of the gate of the Shen Mansion.

Cheng Qianqiu was now standing quietly beside her, dragging the innocent and ignorant Shen Suhang: "Listen, from today onwards, your brother went to a far away place, because he was bullied and hid out, only if you follow me to study martial arts seriously, and wait until the day you finish your studies, when you can protect him, he will come back to see you, if you have the slightest bit of fatigue and a little bit of wanting to give up, your brother will be angry with you, and he will never appear again." ”

The elder brother in front of him had a very solemn face, which made Shen Sujin also become serious: "Brother, are you telling the truth?" ”

Mu Qingwan listened to Cheng Qianqiu's words, raised her head, tears blurred her vision, but she could clearly feel the person in front of her, he lied to Shen Sujin in front of him, in order to make him no longer feel this sad atmosphere, let him have a thought, so that he could be more determined to learn martial arts.

The night was as cold as water, Mu Qingwan and Cheng Qianqiu walked out of the Shen Mansion, "Jin'er will be handed over to you, you must teach him well." ”

"Xia Guan and Lord Shen are colleagues, and they are the same age, so they will naturally treat his younger brother as his own younger brother."

"You say, isn't it too kind for us to bring the heirs of other scholarly families over to learn martial arts?" Mu Qingwan looked at the moonlight outside and actually laughed.

Since Shen Suhang's accident, Mu Qingwan has never smiled again.

"From the moment the coffin lid was closed, I seemed to suddenly understand, you know? Shen Suhang gives me a different feeling, my side, it has always been you, the imperial brother and cousin, they are all rough people who practice martial arts, even if it is Xiao He, he is gentle on the surface, but in fact he is indifferent and rude," Speaking of this, Mu Qingwan couldn't help laughing.
