It was already dark.

Ming Ran lost his soul and got out of the carriage and walked into the Huiyong Palace.

The Queen Mother was still asleep, and she didn't feel like she was going to wake up, so she sat on the edge of the couch for a long time, got up and left.

Walking out of the inner room, Ming Ran raised his eyes and saw Xiao Yiqian sitting on the soft couch.

She glanced at him lightly, and continued her stride out of the house as if she were not looking.

Xiao Yiqian watched her leave in front of him without any waves, her eyes were red, and her expression was weak, as if everything couldn't melt into her eyes.

Thinking that she should know about the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, if she followed her previous temperament, she would definitely reason with him.

But she just walked away as if nothing happened, which was really abnormal.

Xiao Yiqian felt a worry in his heart, if she was cruel to him, he might be more at ease.

Without thinking about it, he quickly got up and walked towards the side hall where Ming Ran lived.

Stepping into the side hall, there was a person sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, with his back to him.

As you can see from the slender figure, it is Meizen.

On the eaves outside the gazebo, two lanterns are hung, and the night breeze blows, and the lanterns sway in the wind, pulling the shadows in the pavilion to the columns.

The courtyard was silent.

Xiao Yiqian strolled into the pavilion and saw several jugs of wine on the stone table.

Mingran looked heartbroken, held the flask, and raised his head to drink.

Xiao Yiqian's heart suddenly hurt. She looked so weak that she gulped down the spirits.

He walked up behind her, snatched the flask from her hand, and sat down beside her.

Ming Ran only glanced at him lightly, then picked up a pot from the stone table and continued to drink.

"What are you doing here?"

Mingran didn't answer, chuckled, tears welled up in his eyes, and he raised his head and took a sip.

The liquor stung her throat, and she forced her cough.

"Does your queen have to be me?" She looked out of the gazebo.

Xiao Yiqian's eyes trembled, and he lowered his voice, "Didn't Dye Er hope to marry me before?" ”

Ming Ran looked at him sideways, with tears in his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "You also said it, that was before. ”

"What's the difference? But in my heart, nothing has changed. ”

Ming Ran was suddenly excited, put the wine jug on the stone table, raised his tone a little higher, and said loudly: "It's changed, it's changed, I'm not the same as before." ”

Xiao Yiqian was silent, looked at her without squinting, and said in a low voice: "Because you like Xiao Yichen." ”

This is something he never wants to admit, and he has been deceiving himself, he has never been willing to accept it, how could he suddenly fall in love with Xiao Yichen when his eyes were full of his eyes at the beginning.

Ming Ran snorted coldly, picked up the flask, and raised his head to take another sip.

"Then why are you persecuting me?"

Xiao Yiqian's eyes drooped, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, "It's you, forcing me." ”

Anger jumped in Mingran's chest, and he threw the wine jug in his hand to the ground, and the wine jug fell to the ground with a cracking sound, which was particularly loud in the courtyard.

"What did I force you?" She got up from the stone bench and asked angrily at Xiao Yiqian.

Li Shihai hurriedly ran in from outside the courtyard and looked towards the pavilion.

Xiao Yiqian waved his hand at Li Shihai, signaling that he didn't have to come in.

He turned his head to look at Mingran, only to realize that she had burst into tears at some point.

When did she become so crying?

Her tears seemed to fall on Xiao Yiqian's heart, making him completely forget her boldness.

He stood up, trying to reach out to wipe away her tears.

Mingran threw away his hand and sat down on the long stone bench under the railing, she put her feet on the stool, hugged her knees, and buried her face in her legs.

Xiao Yiqian stood in the pavilion, looking down at her and hugging herself.

If he hadn't noticed that she was different, how could he choose to find another way and think about the Hou Mansion. He can't tolerate the Mu family, but at the moment he doesn't have the strength to compete with the Mu family.

This time it was really for her that she chose to gamble.

In the court, the recitals that forced him to stand up were almost piled up in the imperial study.

"Will King Chen marry you?"

Ming Ran's hair was a little groggy, but when she heard this, she struggled to look back, thinking about his words.

Will Xiao Yichen marry her? He didn't seem to mention that he would marry her? But it doesn't matter, now that the situation is forced, even if she can't marry him, it doesn't mean that she has to marry into the palace.

"What if it won't?"

"He doesn't love you."

Mingran chuckled and asked, "You're not him, how do you know his mind?" ”

Xiao Yiqian couldn't help but walk in front of her, bowed his head and said, "If he has you in his heart, how can he be willing to let you cry and run out of King Chen's mansion." ”

Mingran's eyes were a little blurry, but his consciousness was still extremely clear, and it turned out that her every move was under his control.

She couldn't help but feel funny, she was actually discussing love with an emperor at this moment, sneered in her heart, and sighed: "You are so kind to the Hou Mansion, aren't you afraid that the Mu family and the Ming family will be cold?" ”

Xiao Yiqian squatted down and whispered in her ear: "I am so sincere, I will do everything just to make you the queen, how can Rong Guogong not understand." ”

Ming Ran looked at him in a daze, and asked softly, "Do I have to?" ”

Xiao Yiqian's tone was firm and said seriously: "You have to." ”

Mingran's lips twitched twice before he smiled bitterly with difficulty.

"Will you let my eldest brother go?"

Xiao Yiqian reached out and touched her head, "It's not something you should worry about, you drank too much, go and rest." ”

Ming Ran said without hesitation: "I'm not drunk, I didn't say drunk words tonight, even if I marry into the palace, I won't love you." ”

Xiao Yiqian got up, angry, looked at her coldly, saw her drunk, forcibly endured her anger, and her heart was like a thousand needles piercing.

She was now bold enough to ignore his feelings.

A famous maid in the courtyard ran into the pavilion quickly, knelt on the ground, and said in fear: "Please forgive the emperor, the county lord is not strong enough to drink, and what he says is drunk, please don't take it seriously." ”

Xiao Yiqian glanced at the kneeling maid coldly, and said after a long time: "Help her into the house." ”

He glanced at Ming Ran, then brushed his sleeves and left.

Fuyue got up, carefully picked up Mingran, and walked towards the house step by step.

She helped Mingye onto the couch and leaned over to remove the hairpin from her head.

Picked up the removed hairpin, turned around and put it on the dressing table, and went out to get a basin of hot water.

She wrung out her facecloth and walked to the couch, about to wipe her face, but saw Mingran staring at the top of the curtain with bright eyes.

"County Lord?" She whispered, wondering if Mingran was awake.

"I'm not drunk."

Seeing that her tone was as usual, Fuyue breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered that she was in the pavilion just now, so why did she still say those words to the emperor, so frightened that Fuyue heard those words at that time, and immediately ran out, for fear that the emperor would be angry.

"The county lord scared the slave to death." Fuyue patted her chest, her heart palpitating.

Ming Ran lifted the quilt, walked to the bookcase, picked up the pen on the side, dipped it in ink, and bowed his head to write rows of Juanxiu small letters on rice paper.

Writing the entire sheet of rice paper in one breath, she put down her pen, left the bookcase, and said, "After the handwriting is dry, send someone to send it to the Rongguo Mansion." ”
