Chapter 201: Discovered
But he trusts his instincts, and there's definitely someone in the room!
Different from the previous reaction, Wen Ruyi was secretly frightened, she hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Mu Zirong's sight again with her body, "Hey, you said that as long as I am here as your princess, you will give me another bead, is it true?" ”
In a hurry, Wen Ruyi had to take the initiative to provoke this topic that she was extremely disgusted with, there was no way, in order to save Chu Hongze and prevent him from being discovered by Mu Zirong, she could only say something to divert Mu Zirong's attention, and the topic that could divert Mu Zirong's attention was probably the only one, didn't he repeatedly emphasize that he really wanted to marry himself?
"Yes, that's what the prince just said." Sure enough, Mu Zirong looked away and looked at Wen Ruyi, "What?" Have you decided that you want to be the princess of this prince? ”
The thought in his mind made Mu Zirong's eyes light up, looking at Wen Ruyi's eyes gradually becoming hot, and the wound in his heart that was stabbed by her seemed to be slowly healing, "As long as you keep your promise, this prince will naturally not break his promise!" ”
So far, what else can Wen Ruyi say? Compared with himself, it is obvious that Chu Hongze's safety is more important, and it is better to get through the current crisis first and then take care of the rest of the matter.
Thinking of this, Wen Ruyi only nodded her head indiscriminately, and then shook her head again, for a while, even she couldn't figure out her state of mind at this time.
However, although her words did divert Mu Zirong's attention, their conversation also made Chu Hongze, who was hiding inside, unhappy.
Who can bear to have their beloved woman to be someone else's wife? And Wen Ruyi has already married Mu Zirong because of Lingzhu, and now he wants to be his princess here, what is it for this time? Looking at this posture, Wen Ruyi was determined to commit himself to Mu Zirong in order not to let Mu Zirong see him hiding in this inner room!
The more he thought about it, the more angry Chu Hongze became, how did he swallow this breath? New hatred and old hatred suddenly came to my heart together.
"Mu Zirong, I'll return this bead to you first." Wen Ruyi, who was in a state of confusion, suddenly stuffed the beads that Mu Zirong had given her before into his palm again.
This inexplicable move made Mu Zirong stunned for a moment: "You...... Why? This bead has been given to you. ”
In the face of his doubts, Wen Ruyi didn't make a sound, what she thought was that she would stay here in the future anyway, even if she held a bead, it would be useless, maybe she would be snatched away by others, after all, there was a lesson from the past of Mu Zirong's Prince's Mansion here, and it would still be too dangerous for her to be a weak woman if she was carrying a bead.
If the beads are handed over to Mu Zirong, then the other people who want to take away the beads will all focus their attention on Mu Zirong's body, so that she will be safe and there will not be so many things to consider.
Wen Ruyi thought so, of course she wouldn't tell Mu Zirong about this, so she just said: "Anyway, I'm already determined to stay with you, you should keep the beads for me." ”
Her words should be able to mislead Mu Zirong, right? Wen Ruyi thought uneasily, and then, Mu Zirong's reaction also confirmed her thoughts.
Mu Zirong, who took back the beads, was ecstatic and grabbed Wen Ruyi's soft hair, looking at her with glittering eyes, gentle and affectionate: "Ruyi, since you trust this prince so much, then this prince will definitely not let you down, you can rest assured, I will definitely treat you well in the future, and you can stay in the house and enjoy happiness with peace of mind." ”
Mu Zirong's face under the reflection of the happy candle looked softer than before, the cold and hard lines of his face were also soothed a lot, and the corners of his lips, which had always been tightly pursed, were even more restrained - it showed that he was really in a good mood at this time, and it was just because of his own words.
Wen Ruyi thought silently, and was also smiling with Mu Zirong on her face, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes, her hand was grabbed by a person who was completely insensitive, and even a little disgusted, how could she laugh? Every time she is in such a helpless situation, how can she be happy?
"Well, I believe you!" However, no matter how reluctant she was, she had to pretend to be happy and call Mu Zirong obediently, she had to divert all of Mu Zirong's attention and make him have no mind to pay attention to other things, so as to give Chu Hongze enough time to leave here!
Thinking about it, Wen Ruyi couldn't help but use the corner of her eye to look at the situation inside, but the beaded curtain hanging down from the door really blocked her vision, she couldn't see clearly at all, and she didn't know whether Chu Hongze was gone or not.
However, on the contrary, her small movements were noticed by Mu Zirong, and a strange light flashed in his dark eyes: "This prince has wanted to ask for a long time, princess, what are you looking at?" ”
Mu Zirong's fluttering words sounded in his ears, which immediately made the hairs on Wen Ruyi's body stand up, "No...... It's nothing! ”
What's going on? Why hasn't Mu Zirong forgotten the things in the middle of the world? Hasn't she already diverted her attention? The flustered Wen Ruyi tried hard to maintain her calm demeanor, but the sharpness of Mu Zirong's gaze made her a little unable to hold on.
Sometimes the more you want to be calm, the easier it is to panic, and this is obviously the case with Wen Ruyi at the moment.
Seeing this, Mu Zirong glanced at her meaningfully, then let go of the hand holding her, took a step, and slowly walked towards the door of the inner room.
Wen Ruyi wanted to stop him, but was stopped by his cold gaze: "Why has the princess been preventing this prince from entering this inner room?" Could it be that the princess is hiding some ulterior secrets inside? ”
"I ......" Wen Ruyi, who was asked, opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer the most appropriate, and he didn't know what to say to dispel Mu Zirong's doubts and not let him in.
Wen Ruyi's reaction looked at Mu Zirong to pick up the idea that someone was hiding in the room, and that person was very likely to be known to Wen Ruyi, otherwise, why would she frequently make some moves and say some things to prevent him from entering? This in itself is very suspicious.
At this moment, Mu Zirong, who lowered his eyes, no longer hesitated, even if Wen Ruyi was in front of him again, he directly stretched out his hand and pushed her away, came to the door of the inner room, and raised his hand to lift the beaded curtain.
"I just hope that the prince has left!" So far, the only thing Wen Ruyi can do is to pray to God in his heart, praying that Chu Hongze has left instead of still being.
However, things always go against people's expectations.
At the moment when the door curtain was completely lifted, Chu Hongze, who was sitting at the table in the back room and drinking tea, appeared in front of Wen Ruyi and Mu Zirong.
This behavior made Mu Zirong's hand that lifted the curtain paused, and his eyes were slightly half-narrowed, staring at Chu Hongze, who was refreshed and relaxed, and he never moved away for half a minute, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.
"Chu Hongze!" The three words were squeezed out of Mu Zirong's throat like this, and she couldn't hear the tone of joy and anger, but it was what scared Wen Ruyi the most, because she knew that Mu Zirong was definitely angry.
Mu Zirong, who is accustomed to being empty and wronged, always calls him "Rui Wang" when he faces Chu Hongze, and now he calls him by his name, which shows that Mu Zirong is definitely angry, and there seem to be many emotions in his voice, but the strange thing is that the attitude he shows is very calm.
Similarly, Chu Hongze, whose identity was exposed, also had the same attitude as him, calm as water, as if he was not an uninvited guest at all, but someone who should have been here.
Two pairs of long dark eyes with different charms converged in mid-air, and launched a unique "fight" with each other's eyes.
It's not often said that if the eyes can kill, Wen Ruyi now feels that the eyes of these two men can really kill, because they are too fierce, and now they have confronted each other, why should they pretend?
Putting down the teacup after drinking, Chu Hongze turned to face Mu Zirong, looked up at him, and said with no embarrassment on his face, but an invisible coercion.
One red and one black, one cold and one hot, one smiling, two completely different proud men stared at each other like this, as if time had stopped for a while, and they were all waiting for each other to react first.
However, there was no one, they were stuck in a stalemate, and no one was willing to take the first step, as if whoever moved first would lose in secret.
The air seemed to be diluted by their secret contest, becoming thinner and tighter, Wen Ruyi took a hard breath, thinking that it was better to break the silence by himself, but the ghost made a god say a word: "Lord Rui, why are you here?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Mu Zirong and Chu Hongze's eyes invariably fell on her, and Wen Ruyi's heart suddenly became nervous, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
"What do you mean by this?" Wen Ruyi's words were like a switch, and Mu Zirong found his voice again, he turned his head to look at Wen Ruyi, and the coldness in his eyes flew over like a knife, and there was a look of disbelief in it at all.
"I ......" She was stared at by this star, her scalp was numb, and she was about to find a way to explain, so as to round this lie, but Mu Zirong didn't give her a chance at all, and interrupted her directly: "What? You want to say that you don't know that Lord Rui is here? Or did you just find out? Do you think you can still deceive this prince? Is this prince a fool in your eyes? ”
"I'm not ......" Seeing that the two of them were looking at themselves with burning eyes, Wen Ruyi suddenly wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, she didn't know what to think about it just now and said that sentence, but now she doesn't know how to make up for it at all, and she really misses it into a thousand years of hatred. It was only at this moment that Mu Zirong finally figured everything out.
