Mu Churan sighed lightly and asked her, "What about the assassin?" ”

"I don't know." Xiao He replied simply.

Mu Churan naturally didn't care about the assassin's life or death, what did it have to do with him, all he wanted was the person in front of him.

But now, he has chased the person, but the heart is not here.

Is this the result he wants?

Mu Churan turned his head and said to the commander of the Wuyi Guard: "Go back to the palace!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, four people came forward to surround Xiao He, Xiao He did not agree to resist, let them restrain himself, and was held by the arm, she twisted her head and shouted to Mu Churan: "Please let your majesty let go of my people!" They don't know anything! It's all my idea! ”

Mu Churan sneered and turned his back to Xiao He, "Don't you care about everything?" And the second half of the sentence "for him" was silently read in his heart, and he couldn't ask. He took two steps forward, and when he heard her struggling and struggling, she couldn't move when she was held down, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he commanded softly, "Let the others go." Take her alone. ”

Wuyiwei has always obeyed the emperor's words, and never asked the emperor about any decisions.

Han Dong and Han Chun were immediately released.

Xiao He was taken to the palace by Mu Churan, but he was quietly placed under house arrest in his dormitory. She originally thought that she would be sent to Dali Temple or the Criminal Department, but Mu Churan seemed to deliberately not mention it.

Mu Churan's dormitory is the largest palace in Zijin City except for the main hall and the Qinzheng Palace, and in addition to the main hall where he lives, there is also a connected side hall. The main hall alone is divided into three floors. The system in this palace is the same as when the emperor was in power, a table, a chair, a stool, almost never moved. Mu Churan has a cold temperament and doesn't like luxury, so naturally he hasn't changed anything.

Xiao He was placed in the side hall, and an elderly palace maid was specially appointed to listen to her orders.

Except for her limited movement, everything around her was as usual, and she couldn't see that she was being punished at all. When it was dawn overnight, it should be the time of the early dynasty, but Xiao He was still locked up here, and Mu Churan never came to see her, nor did he say how long he would lock her up.

There was no chaos in the Xiao Mansion outside the palace, Han Dong and the others came back, although they brought back the news that Xiao He was arrested, but they didn't hear anything from the palace later, because Mu Churan blocked all the news, and outsiders didn't even know that Xiao He was brought into the palace.

In the early morning of the next day, Mu Churan also specially asked Gonggong Liu to send someone to the Xiao Mansion to instruct the housekeeper, and the Hefu only knew that Xiao He was in the palace, but claimed that Xiao He was recuperating in the mansion and did not see any guests. Secretly, he sent people to supervise the Xiao Mansion from top to bottom, and there were people who interrogated when they came in and out.

After the early dynasty, Duan Heng went to visit the Xiao Mansion, but was stopped at the door and returned empty-handed.

At that time, Xiao He was still in the Qianqing Palace in Zijin City, sleepless but tireless. The palace maid Qinglian was originally the one who served the concubine in the harem, and suddenly she was transferred to the front of the palace overnight, she was in a nervous mood, but she didn't want to serve such a handsome son, and then remembered the rumors in the palace in the past, she had a little contempt for Xiao He, and a little fear.

But she asked back and forth several times, but she didn't see any reaction from Xiao He. She had also secretly seen its reaction, her eyes were red and slightly swollen, and her expression was stunned but unconscious, as if she was in a mourning and couldn't extricate herself.

Even so, it can't hide his handsome appearance, it is really as rumored, a good little white face, no wonder even the emperor is particularly blue eyes for him. Just looking at his lonely expression, it can make people feel inexplicably as if they were infected by him and couldn't be happy.

Qinglian was lying on the window frame and secretly looking at the people inside, when she heard the announcement of the emperor's return to the palace, she quickly knelt respectfully under the porch. After a while, he saw the bright yellow robe standing in front of him, and whispered to the people around him, "Pass breakfast." ”

"Your Majesty is in the side hall?" The obedient man still hesitated.

"Yes." Mu Churan's voice was very resolute.

And when he had said that, he went in to meet the people inside. For some reason, Qinglian waited at the door, but she thought that she could witness this scene with her own eyes, and a wisp of excitement rose in her heart, as if she had witnessed something terrible.

Xiao He was also in the mood of breaking the jar at this time, and when he saw Mu Churan coming in, he ignored him, took care of himself and was sad, and continued to be depressed.

Mu Churan walked in, walked to her in a few steps and sat down, without speaking, like a friend who has known him for a long time, he can know his mind without opening his mouth, and share joys and sorrows.

His calmness made Xiao He a little uncomfortable.

"How long are you going to trap me like this?" The tone was extremely disrespectful, as if he deliberately angered him, so that he simply ordered people to drag her out of here. It was strange that Mu Churan liked her to talk to herself like this, but turned her head to look at her quietly, but when he saw the marks on her face, he remembered that she still had someone else in her heart, which made him inexplicably uncomfortable.

It was this kind of discomfort that made him have no good tone.

"If I like it, what if I trap you for the rest of your life?" There was a little more provocation in his eyes, although it was not his intention, but he stabbed Xiao He directly, making her can't help but look at her angrily.

A moment later, the palace people waited outside the door with breakfast.

Mu Churan only let Qinglian serve here alone, and the rest of the people were not even allowed to enter the door. Qinglian brought breakfast in the same way, and after placing it on the table, she withdrew in an orderly manner.

"Let's have something to eat." Mu Churan persuaded.

Xiao He was really hungry, he tossed for a day and a night, and he didn't eat well, facing a table of delicacies, everyone in the world is responsible for me, why should I bear myself again. She simply didn't do anything, picked up the chopsticks, and stuffed them into her mouth in a big gulp.

The food transmits warm energy, and after entering the mouth, it turns into various flavors to fill the hunger, but the sad thing is that while she is eating, she is still thinking about that person, and she does not know that he can now have a hot meal and warm soup to eat, and he is seriously injured and weak and needs more tonic to recover.

Although Xiao He's movements were like a whirlwind and clouds, he seemed to be in a war, treating the table full of food as an invisible enemy, and viciously destroying it, but the expression on his face still did not show any joy. In particular, it is said that there is no joy, but it is better to say that the heart is like ashes.

Mu Churan also tossed all night without sleeping, and went to the morning court with strong spirits in the morning, and came back to dine with her, and she was not in the mood to move chopsticks in front of her appearance. It turned out that everything was said by the man, he locked up a person like this, an unintentional shell, and punished the two of them.

"Eat slowly, and then leave. If you want to meet whoever you want, go and meet. I've already had the guards at the gates removed, so if you want to go, go away. I hope that this will make you smile, and the rest of your wishes will be enough. Mu Churan compromised, he originally planned to detain her for ten days and half a month in one go.

But it was only one night, and he couldn't stand it. The lover is also painful, and he finally understands that he doesn't have to get to love someone.

Her soul was not there, her smile was not there, her eyes were full of concern for another person outside the palace. He trapped her, obviously unwilling to torture her, but he was draining her mind all the time.

She was like a bird dying in his palm.

He knew he had to let go and let her fly away. Even if it cost her to disappear into his world from now on, he had to.

Xiao He seemed to have heard something that shocked her extremely much, her face was stunned, she doubted her ears several times, swallowed a mouthful of food hard, choked on her throat, and beat her chest. Mu Churan handed her a bowl of clear soup, "Drink some soup, don't worry." ”

Xiao He took the soup bowl and drank half of the bowl before looking at him with wide eyes, "What did you say?" ”

Mu Churan saw a much more vivid expression on her face, and couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth, "I said don't worry. ”

"The previous sentence!" Xiao He asked.

"Drink some soup." Mu Churan smiled faintly.

"It's not! And then the front! Xiao He raised his voice.

"Whatever you want to do, I'm no longer stopping. If only you were happy. Mu Churan changed to the most popular vernacular, simple and clear, after speaking, his heart was not as painful as he thought, all because he saw the luster and brilliance in her eyes again.

The light in her eyes flickered and flickered.

"Why?" There was a hint of doubt in her voice.

"If you're happy, I'm comfortable here." Mu Churan stretched out his hand and patted his chest gently, and continued with a bit of self-deprecation, "I really wanted to trap you for the rest of my life before, but I couldn't get your heart, what's the point?" ”

"I don't understand." Xiao He looked at Mu Churan, the luster under his eyes was shattered, turned into crystal dots, overflowed his eyes, slid down his cheeks, and ticked.

Mu Churan stretched out her hand to gently wipe the traces of her tears, cautiously, as if she was afraid that her movements would hurt her, "I wanted to protect you from the wind and rain for a lifetime, shelter you from the wind and rain, and make you happy and worry-free." It's a pity that the person in your heart is not me. Reluctantly let you stay by my side, it is you who suffers, and it is also me. It's better to let you open the sea and the sky, and give you back your freedom. If you want to seek him, go ahead. ”

He took a deep breath and continued, as if faintly worried, "It's just that from now on, you will have to leave the imperial capital incognito, is it possible for him to protect you?" ”

"I've never needed anyone to protect me." Xiao He's voice was choked, but his tone was extremely firm.

"Mu Qiang is broken, when you are tired, you always have to have a shoulder to lean on, I once expected myself to be that person. Now, I only hope that he can make you smile and never cry again. Mu Churan finished speaking in one breath, no antecedents, no consequences.

Life is in the world, once in the sea, but the enemy is always only a shallow love. This is an eternal farewell. He didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe it.

When she got up to leave, he had a glimpse of hope that she would look back at herself again, but he saw her step out of the doorway, and let him sigh softly, and hang his head, licking his wounds alone like a beast.
