Xiao He was a little caught off guard by this sudden confession, and he still had a heart hanging over his wounds. She didn't know what the Assassin was trying to say, who had been so careful to find her position, was trying to kill her.

Steward Xu's lips trembled more and more, he swallowed his saliva, cleared his throat and continued.

"On the surface of your eyes, you are indifferent and don't care, but under the depth is hatred, a sea of blood hatred that can make people lose their minds. Ahem, I think it's quite difficult for you to get to where you are today. Since you succeeded to the throne, you have been kind to us people and attentive to the affairs of the DPRK, I think if you had not experienced all this and had not been burdened with hatred, you should have a good life. ”

Hearing this, Xiao He was stunned. The world is changing, who would have thought that among the people who get along with you day and night, there is such a master who has read countless people? So at this moment, is he at the end of his life, summing up this life for me? Xiao He felt that this was a little incredible.

"Then you're going to kill me?" Xiao He couldn't help asking.

Steward Xu tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled softly.

"That's because you've become a threat to somebody. What makes you catch the attention of others? Think about it, young man. ”

Xiao He had mixed feelings for a while, and she quickly sorted out the most perplexing answer.

"What about my injuries?" Xiao He wanted to figure out this question, and the tail tone unconsciously rose slightly, and there was a hint of inquiry in his voice.

Steward Xu was silent for a while, then raised his head slightly and glanced at the not very bright cloud in the moon.

"After being a killer for a lifetime, I have seen clearly that there is no so-called 'fairness' in this world. Let you be a brocade of flowers, and a blazing fire to cook oil; is still a powerful and wealthy gentleman, with thousands of dollars in his pocket, and harvesting life is only a matter of moments. In my life, I have listened to too many numb orders, and I have not been the master of my own for a long time.

The last time I was in charge, I quietly gave myself a right - I killed people every day, and both arrows were quenched with poison, and if I met someone I didn't want to kill, I would quench one poison and the other would not be quenched, and life or death would only depend on his creation. ”

When Steward Xu said this, he couldn't open his mouth very much.

Xiao He never expected that he had walked away from the ghost gate and came back, all because of this housekeeper's thoughts. One thought of life, one thought of death. Even if it is as bright as the moon and the eternal brightness, there is nothing that can be done.

The short arrow was extremely poisonous, and in just a few moments, the butler was already dead. The shape of his mouth before his death was an imperial character. Whether it is the emperor or the queen mother has become an unsolvable mystery.

But Xiao He doesn't care anymore, the royal people, in the final analysis, there is no difference. They are a group of people who are selfish, arrogant, and willing to sacrifice everything for their own selfish desires. In addition, the people around you should pay more attention in the future.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

On the morning of the second day, Xiao He took leave

When Gonggong Liu told Mu Churan the news, Mu Churan was watching the folds, and he was very surprised.

"Oh? Xiao Aiqing has been diligent in the past few days, what's wrong today? ”

"I said I was sick."

"Who's sick? Is my brother sick? At this time, Mu Qingwan stepped into the imperial study, her birthday was approaching, and she had recently worn a longevity lock adorned with several strings of small silver bells, and her trotting was very cute.

It is said that Mu Qingjuan, the princess of Yin Kingdom, wants to take advantage of her seventeenth birthday to dig an artificial lake in the princess's mansion that can be comparable to Yichun Lake in the imperial garden, and has obtained the permission of the queen mother, and today she came to ask Mu Churan for instructions for the first time.

Mu Churan listened to the sound of jingling bells, and replied with a smile without raising his head: "Of course it won't be my brother." ”

Mu Qingwan playfully stuck out her tongue. Since the construction of an artificial lake is not a trivial matter, Mu Qingwan looked at Gonggong Liu on the side, and talked about him left and right, and did not explain his intentions for a long time.

Gonggong Liu understood and whispered, "The old slave went to see how His Majesty's lunch went?" ”

As soon as I saw the figure of Gonggong Liu, he disappeared outside the imperial study. Mu Qingwan stepped forward in two steps and rubbed his brother's shoulder.

Mu Churan smiled brightly, "Come on, my good sister, don't be courteous, let's talk about what good things you have taken a fancy to?" ”

Mu Qingwan ran to the opposite side of his brother, and lay on the desk where he was full of folds, and played with the glass palace lamp with his fingers.

Mu Churan didn't pick her up, just waited for her to speak.

The princess no longer hesitated, and asked with a well-behaved face: "Brother, what do you think of the Yichun Lake in our imperial garden?" ”

"Well, that's good. Backed by Spring Mountain, the lake and mountains are very pleasant. Mu Churan didn't seem to go to the Imperial Garden often, tilted his head and thought for a while before answering.

But I secretly thought in my heart, wasn't my sister spoiled by the queen mother? I asked about Yichun Lake in a good way. The first emperors have enjoyed the scenery by this lake for several generations, set up banquets, and even fished, no matter how rude, they should know that they can't give it to anyone.

Who knew that the princess opened her mouth and said, "Brother, I remember when we were young, my father took us to swim in Yichun Lake, and the blue waves were so beautiful at that time." It's a pity that such a good lake is only in the imperial garden. So...... I want to build a similar one in my princess's mansion, so that I can always thank my father and brother for my childhood. The queen mother has already allowed it, and she also asked her brother to fulfill her child. ”

After saying that, he also blessed his body in style.

Mu Churan had a headache.

Not to mention digging lakes to introduce living water, it costs the people and money, since Mu Qingjuan has come to ask for it in style, it must be exactly the same, those small artificial lakes of the scale of Jiuchang Lake and Pingjun Lake, his sister must not be eye-catching. However, Yichun Lake is not an ordinary artificial lake, it is a natural lake formed by the convergence of many springs in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital, and it has been repaired by several generations of skilled craftsmen to have today's beautiful scenery. Today, once he completes his sister and starts construction, it will cost the treasury, which will inevitably affect the people.

He is Mu Qingxuan's elder brother, and he is also the monarch of this Great Yin Kingdom. Compared with public and private, public is greater than private.

I can only disagree.

So, how do you make your own rude sister not cry or make trouble, and accept it calmly?

Mu Churan frowned, and his lips pursed slightly. Mu Qingwan on one side saw it in his eyes, and his heart was even more up and down. Then the emperor's brother really gave her the answer she didn't want.

Mu Qingwan's tears rolled in her eyes, she didn't want to listen to her brother's long explanation. She didn't understand why her brother was sitting on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and he couldn't even make his own decisions about a lake. What does it mean to be a princess?

Mu Qingwan turned around and was about to run out of this annoying imperial study, and before he even went out of the palace door, he happened to bump into Gonggong Liu who came back from the imperial study.

Mu Churan asked casually: "Father-in-law Liu, I just heard you say that Xiao Aiqing is sick, right?" ”

Mu Qingwan slowed down when she heard this. Gonggong Liu saw it in his eyes and replied

"Yes, I won't be coming to the morning court for a few days from today."

Mu Churan stopped in moderation, and let out a faint "um" and no more reaction.

He knew that his sister had a little affection for Xiao He, and the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was always willing to try her best to meet the person she liked, but the reserve of the royal family and the constraints of traditional etiquette made her miserable. Whether it is as she expected, it depends on how much Juan'er values Xiao He.

Sure enough, Mu Qingwan turned back, begging for herself like a poor little beast.

"Brother, I want to go and see Lord Xiao."

Mu Churan shook his head, "You are a princess, you can't meet outsiders casually, the queen mother will be angry if she knows it." If you really want to see it, I can go for you. ”

Mu Qingwan begged again and again, and finally got his brother's consent. Of course, taking her out of the palace means that she has to give up the "Yichun Lake". But so what, no matter how beautiful a lake is, it's just a puddle of water and a few piles of broken stones. And what she is about to see is the living Xiao He. If he remembers himself during his illness, his lifelong happiness will be over.

Mu Qingwan and Mu Churan stepped on the carriage to Xiao Mansion together. Along the way, Mu Qingwan was overjoyed, and Mu Churan was full of thoughts that I was for the people of the world, which was also a helpless move, Xiao He, you have to understand me.

Walking in the same car, you will never be satisfied.

The majestic and solemn motorcade arrived at the gate of Xiao's mansion, Xiao He still didn't know it, and was studying in the mansion.

When the little servant came to report in a panic, Xiao He knew that the most noble king and princess in the Yin Kingdom were already drinking tea in his main hall.

Even if he looks down on this selfish royal family, as Xiao He, he can't be rude

Thinking of his reason for taking leave, Xiao He looked at himself in the mirror, and a wound on the right side of his face made his face even paler, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was sick. After a little tidying up, he was welcomed to the main hall.

After all the etiquette, Xiao He was able to sit down and take advantage of the time to drink tea and peek at the two "distinguished guests":

Yesterday's palm didn't seem to have any effect on Mu Churan, and it was okay, wouldn't it be very troublesome if he left some sequelae.

The little girl beside Mu Churan is dressed exquisitely and gorgeously, and the longevity lock collar she wears is even more ingenious, and her eyebrows and eyes are slightly similar to Mu Churan, but they are not as atmospheric as him, a little immature, and more squeamish. Xiao He has always hated such a delicate royal princess, so he has no good impression of Mu Qingwan.

After carefully observing Xiao He, Mu Churan was silent, but Mu Qingwan exclaimed: "Lord Xiao, you ...... Your face. ”

Xiao He smiled: "It's Weichen who is careless." Playing at home, but the swordsmanship is not good and ugly. However, he was afraid that he would disturb the holy car with his injured appearance, so he excused himself to take leave of absence under the pretext of illness. ”

Mu Qingwan swallowed the exclamation at this time, and nodded as if she put down her heart.

Mu Qingwan, who couldn't hide these words too much, couldn't hide Mu Churan, who had experienced strong winds and waves. His eyes tightened, and he didn't rush to expose Xiao He's lie, but just picked up the blue-glazed porcelain teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Xiao Aiqing is really good-looking, she hurt her face and said she was sick when she danced her sword, but I am afraid that I and the ministers will laugh at you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed quietly.
