Side Story Chapter 4

This time, Xia Ling'er can be regarded as having a grudge with Mu Xiaowangye.

The image of a good girl maintained in front of the imperial brother was also shattered.

I didn't meet the emperor for a few days, let alone ask for peace, and I didn't meet Concubine Lan again.

Xia Ling'er still leaves the palace every day, and the emperor doesn't care where she goes, with Le Nan by her side, as long as she is safe.

On this day, Xia Ling'er went to the Flower Pavilion again, but coincidentally, Mu Xiaowang Ye was also a frequent visitor here, and when Xia Ling'er and their master and servant entered the private room, Mu Xiaowang seemed to see Le Nan's side face. Although he didn't see it too seriously, let alone Xia Ling'er, his intuition told him that the princess should come here.

Women dressed as men are really for visiting the green house!

Mu Xiaowang also entered the private room with curiosity and questions.

In the room, a woman with an elegant temperament is waiting for Mu Xiaowangye, aged twenty-six or seventeen, revealing maturity and stability, although her appearance is charming and moving, but she does not have the air of a woman in a green building.

Her name is willow catkins, everyone calls them willow catkins girl, she is the best qin art kabuki in this flower hall, and every time the prince comes here, he enters her room. She also only received Mu Xiaowangye.

"Lord Wang, why does it seem that there is something on your mind?" Yang Liuwu said lightly

She has insight into people's hearts.

"You're asking who's in the room across from you?" Mu Yichen seemed to be very concerned about this matter.

The catkins girl winked at the little maid beside her and motioned for her to ask.

"Did you meet someone you know?" Miss Liu Wu poured a glass of wine for Mu Xiaowangye, and a pair of delicate hands brought it directly to his mouth.

Mu Xiaowang took it and drank it directly, and said lightly: "It should be!" "Seriously, there seems to be a certainty.

After a while, the little maid entered the door and said, "It's a newcomer who has only come recently, and he calls himself Long Gongzi, and he often comes these days." ”

Little Prince Mu snorted coldly: "Young Master Long??? There seemed to be ridicule and curiosity in his eyes.

Turning to Liu Wu, he said, "You now find a way to go in and test this dragon boy to see who it is." In fact, he had already determined that it must be Xia Ling'er, but he was just curious about why a woman came here every day.

Liu Wu didn't ask a word, and went out, it seemed that he had a tacit understanding with Mu Xiaowangye.

What is Xia Ling'er doing?

Every time she came, Le Nan would go out to run errands for the princess, leaving her alone here, and listening to music every day was boring enough, and then Xia Ling'er learned it on her own on a whim.

The catkins pushed the door open and spilled in with a pot.

I happened to see Cai Lian teaching Xia Ling'er piano skills.

Xia Ling'er, who was sitting, just glanced up and didn't pay too much attention to it, she was not a man, so naturally she wouldn't pay much attention to beautiful women.

Cai Lian gently saluted and called Sister Liuwu.

The catkins put down the sprinkle and walked straight to Xia Ling'er, looking very serious.

"Cai Lian, someone is looking for you outside, I will serve Long Gongzi here first, you go and come back quickly.

Cai Pian is confused, who will come to her?

I went out without asking.

Naturally, it was the maid of the catkins who took it directly to Mu Xiaowang for questioning.

"Does Long Gongzi listen to you play the piano every time he comes over?" Mu Xiaowang asked.

Cai Lian was like a weak and quiet girl, and replied in a slow voice: "Back to the prince, Long Gongzi came to listen to the piano for a long time for the first time. Every time I came back, I was learning the piano. ”

"Learning the Piano ???"

It really surprised Mu Xiaowangye, what does this mean? The dignified princess actually went to a green building to learn piano skills, can't the musicians in the palace teach it?

This princess is really good at playing!

"Is it just to learn the piano?" Mu Xiaowang asked again puzzled.

"I only have to learn the piano, and I study it very seriously, and it's very good!" Cai Lian answered him with certainty.

Seriously indeed!

Liu Wu stood behind Xia Ling'er, watching quietly, giving her guidance from time to time.

Liu Wu also saw that she was not a dragon child, she was obviously a woman.

has a cold temperament and generous shots, and it seems that she is not an ordinary woman.

Cai Lian returned, and Liu Fu retreated.

Glancing past the table at the jug of wine for disguise, it seemed to be redundant.

Miss Liu Wu returned to Mu Xiaowangye again.

Mu Yichen asked, "What did you find?" ”

"Didn't the prince ask clearly?" The catkins girl looked displeased.

"It's just learning the piano, and you don't see anything else?" Mu Yichen looked at her expectantly and asked.

"Well, I can see it...... "Miss Liu Wu said thoughtfully: "It's like the eldest lady of which family, who admires the prince, and specially came here to learn the phoenix that the prince loves to hear." "It's quite sour.

Mu Xiaowang seemed to have heard a big joke, and laughed disapplausively.

The catkins girl also smiled.

"I still love to hear your 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' the most."

Mu Xiaowangye's charming evil smile made Liu Wu intoxicated.

A perfect phoenix is raised for Mu Xiaowangye.

Mu Xiaowang seemed to be still puzzled by Xia Ling'er's absurd behavior.

Xia Ling'er wouldn't even know that her boring piano learning perfectly covered everything and disturbed someone's heart.

Mu Yichen really made Xia Ling'er's inexplicable appearance make her feel completely unhappy, and she had to go back early.

After leaving the Flower Pavilion, he went directly to the palace to find the emperor, he didn't plan to go to the emperor to make a small report, and he was not a person who was so bored that there was no lower limit.

It's just that this time Mu Yichen saw the emperor, but the emperor mentioned the princess's marriage.

Well, this is a good idea, who is so wise, to eliminate harm for the palace, it is definitely not the emperor's attention.

Mu Yichen not only has poisonous eyes, but also poisonous heart, and he can't hide anything from him.

Who else could there be, of course it was Concubine Lan, hadn't they been safe and quiet for the past few days, and they hadn't met? Why? is only concerned about the princess's lifelong events, or is the princess indeed past the age of marriage.

Speaking of Xia Ling'er's marriage, naturally Xia Ling'er provoked Concubine Lan, so she had to drive her out of the palace, otherwise, she wouldn't be idle enough to care about the princess's affairs, let alone have such kindness.

It all started with an incident when the princess went out this morning.

When Xia Ling'er passed by the Imperial Garden, she happened to meet several little princesses and little princes playing together. Suddenly heard the sound of a quarrel, it was Xia Wenxuan, the second prince of Lan Guifei, who fell in love with the small glass wind chime in the hand of the second princess Xia Yihe, which Xia Ling'er brought back from outside and gave it to the second princess.

The second princess naturally didn't give it, but Xia Wenxuan was as arrogant as his mother, so he had to sit on the ground and cry, and the people in the palace were all powerful, so they naturally favored the second prince, and the second princess had to take out the wind chimes to coax the second prince.

Of course, Xia Ling'er couldn't stand it, and she bullied the second princess so unreasonably.

So he stepped forward and angrily rebuked the palace maid.

It's nothing, the key is that the second prince Xia Wenxuan can't get anything and vows not to stop, crying endlessly.

Xia Ling'er directly picked him up, but he still stubbornly sat on the ground, so Xia Ling'er started to beat him, this trick really worked, and he obediently went back with the palace people after being beaten.

In Xia Ling'er's opinion, what is there to beat a disobedient child? She was not angry with a child because of Concubine Lan, in her eyes it was her imperial brother's child. Indeed, this kid is too arrogant and unreasonable.

But this matter reached Lan Guifei's ears, that is, the palace people added fuel and vinegar to the nonsense, not to have a grudge against the princess, but to blindly please Lan Guifei.

As a mother, how can she tolerate others bullying her and bullying her children, a palace maid gave her such a bad idea.

It can't be said to be a bad idea, even the fifth princess of the former emperor, the 16-year-old Xia Yimo, was married before the death of the first emperor, not to mention that Xia Ling'er was 18 years old.

So Concubine Lan ran to the emperor crying and making trouble, and finally tactfully wanted to marry the princess.

"Then it's good to get married, and it's not a bad thing for the princess." Mu Yichen said lightly.

The emperor couldn't bear it, Xia Ling'er had only been back in the palace for more than a month, so he would mention her family affairs, it was inevitable that she would think about it more, plus Lan Guifei was so troublesome, I am afraid that she would not be able to hide it, and if she knew that it was because of this matter that she was allowed to marry, wouldn't it hurt her heart.

The emperor is also wise and decisive in handling state affairs, but he can't figure out his mind in family affairs.

Every time, Mu Yichen has to give him advice.

"You are like this, don't mention it to her first, first select a few outstanding children from these unmarried families, and choose the horses first." Or Mu Yichen has a flexible mind.

"Regarding the matter of the second prince, I don't think it's necessarily the princess's fault, Concubine Lan is indeed too spoiled to the prince, and the emperor should also find another teacher for the princes to discipline well." Mu Yichen said to the emperor seriously.

This little prince Mu is really serious when he is serious, and even the words he says are full of positive energy.

The emperor also understands that the palace people will inevitably exaggerate. Concubine Lan was even more merciless to Xia Ling'er.

The emperor thought back and forth, and finally stopped his gaze on Mu Yichen, and said expressionlessly: "I'm afraid that Ling'er hasn't come back from the palace yet, you accompany me to Qinfang Hall later, this girl hasn't seen anyone for a few days." ”

When Mu Xiaowang heard this, he seemed to be reluctant, and shook his head to resist: "If I don't go, I will see it twice, destroy my two clothes, and if I go again, I am afraid that my life will be in danger." ”

Mu Xiaowangye, is this scared? When was he afraid of a woman? He has always been a master who only coaxes women.

"What? The princess is just a weak woman, are you afraid too? The emperor seems to be agitated by him.

"You don't have to provoke me with words, she is not a weak woman, with the emperor's support for her, she can't just do anything at will." Mu Yichen seemed to be dissatisfied with the emperor.

"So, you have to go with me and help me figure out how to restrain her." The emperor hurriedly took Mu Yichen's words and said.

Mu Yichen didn't speak again, as if he reluctantly agreed.

What can be done about this, the emperor can't bear it, but he denies all methods.

Although the emperor wanted to calm down this matter, Concubine Lan had a big trouble with the emperor, and Xia Ling'er knew it when she returned to the palace.

Naturally, it's a belly fire.

Before he could sit down on the stool, he went out again and went directly to Concubine Lan's Xiyun Palace

Without waiting for the palace people to report, they rushed straight in.

Lan Guifei was sitting in the hall drinking tea boringly, maybe she was thinking about the princess in her heart, but when she saw the princess who broke in, she was really startled, her heart beat faster, and she panicked.

Lan Guifei breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down her mood, sat upright for a while, glanced at Le Nan, who was wearing a sword behind the princess, and said coldly: "Is this posture of the princess going to make trouble for my Xiyun Palace?" ”

It seems that they came over as soon as they heard the news, and they didn't even change their clothes, and both of them were men's clothes.

Le Nan stood outside, Xia Ling'er approached Lan Guifei, with an angry expression of disdain: "Trouble? Do you think I'm like you, just acting? The royal brother is busy with political affairs, and I just discipline the prince for the imperial brother, and I can't discipline my own children well, and I still have the face to add trouble to the imperial brother, and I am a completely ignorant long-tongued woman. ”

Xia Ling'er's eyes were sharp and merciless.

Concubine Lan was so angry that she stammered.

"You...... You ......"

Lan Guifei is really not Xia Ling'er's opponent, it seems that she will only play the trick of crying, making trouble and hanging herself in front of the emperor.

"What are you?" Xia Ling'er took a few steps forward, approached Concubine Lan, and taught her a lesson again: "If you go out with a little brain in the future, you should cherish the emperor's favor even more if you have a little bit of grace, if you just take this favor and act arbitrarily, especially with the prince as a bargaining chip bet, then you are doing death, be careful that my imperial brother will give you a 'mother and child' when he arrives." Xia Ling'er left a weird smile after speaking, turned around and strode away.

Did she come here to threaten her?

Whether it's a threat or a warning, the last sentence is really insidious and vicious.

She, Xia Ling'er, is not a young person.

Lan Guifei didn't say a word of rebuttal, and watched Xia Ling'er leave, two lines of tears instantly crossed her rather beautiful face, gasping for breath, and began to sob.

Is it hate, pain, or fear?

A "mother and child" pierces people's hearts. This is something that Lan Guifei never expected, just now, that wild girl who came out of nowhere actually spoke loudly in front of her eyes, which made people feel afraid!

After a long time, Concubine Lan said coldly: "Prepare a sedan chair, I want to see the emperor!" ”

The princess has said everything about this, is she still going to make trouble?

Concubine Lan is going to meet the emperor, but the emperor is waiting for the princess in Qinfang Palace.

Someone told the emperor that the princess had returned to the palace, and the emperor and Mu Yichen went to the princess's Qinfang Palace together, but they arrived first, and the people in the Qinfang Palace only said that the princess had not come back yet.

At this time, Xia Ling'er was coming out of Concubine Lan's Xiyun Palace.

Obviously, she is a big victory over Concubine Lan again, but there doesn't seem to be a smug look on her face, but there is a bit of helplessness.

From Qinfang Hall to Xiyun Palace, and then from Xiyun Palace to Qinfang Palace, he never stopped a step on the road, let alone said a word. The expression has always been stern, and there is resentment.

When I arrived at the Qinfang Palace, as soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw a lot of palace people standing at the gate of the palace, and I didn't have to think about it to know that the emperor was coming.

It seems that Concubine Lan is making trouble today, and she is coming to Xingshi in person to ask about the guilt.

Xia Ling'er walked straight inside, and the palace maid standing outside the hall called the princess to give a salute.

Xia Ling'er didn't pay attention to it, and entered the palace gate to see the emperor sitting upright in the main hall, so he saluted and asked for peace: "Ling'er greets the emperor's brother!" "If you listen to the voice, you will know that you are not in a good mood, or that you are in a bad mood.

In Mu Yichen's view, it is to be a thief.

Mu Yichen sat casually on the chair on the side, and when the princess entered the door, she didn't see him move a bit.

The emperor looked at Xia Ling'er who was kneeling, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, why is it men's clothes again?

"Get up!" Although it was not seen for a few days, the emperor did not show too much joy.

Xia Ling'er didn't get up, she still knelt and said, "Ling'er beat Wen Xuan today, and the imperial brother must have come to ask for the guilt." ”

People know that Xia Ling'er is still very cute.

Mu Yichen on the side listened to the princess's words, and couldn't help but snicker, although he had endured it very quietly, it was only a big panting movement, but maybe the atmosphere was too quiet today, it was this similar panting sound, Xia Ling'er still heard the ridicule.

Xia Ling'er turned her head and saw Mu Yichen, she still looked down on her virtue, and couldn't help but be angry again.

I don't understand, why is this slut here?

The emperor's eyes swept Xia Ling'er back and forth, saying that he had indeed wronged him when he came to ask for the crime, and if he had anything to do with this matter, that is, Concubine Lan made a fuss today, which made him feel that he hadn't seen her for a long time, so he came over today.

The emperor sighed and said expressionlessly: "Concubine Lan has made this matter clear, and I don't blame you." I'm just coming to see you today, get up! ”

Not only did Xia Ling'er suspect that she had heard it wrong, but even Mu Yichen had a surprised expression.

How could Lan Guifei not blame her Xia Ling'er for this, I'm afraid it would be difficult to complain to the imperial brother without frantically.

What does the emperor mean by this? In order to bring Concubine Lan closer to the princess? Erase the contradiction between the two, the emperor is really naΓ―ve.

Mu Yichen couldn't help but shake his head.

Whether it was true or not, Xia Ling'er still stood up.

First of all, he set his eyes on Mu Yichen, and asked coldly in a low voice, "Why is Little Prince Mu here?" ”

Mu Yichen got up reluctantly, but nodded and said, "Hello princess!" ”

Although it is hypocritical and hides a knife in his smile, he must have come with the emperor, so bear with it first!

Xia Ling'er sat down on the other side, she was originally in a bad mood, but seeing that Mu Yichen was in an even worse mood here, she sat down and didn't speak, just took the tea cup handed by the palace maid and took a few sips of tea.

It seems that Xia Ling'er will only drink tea when she is very thirsty every time, and there is no artistic conception of tea tasting after the meeting.

When the emperor saw Xia Ling'er's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart, as if he didn't give her a superior life, but made her feel a kind of sadness.

"Ling'er, why do you always pretend to be a man and go out of the palace? What are you doing when you're out of the palace? After so many days, haven't you seen enough of this Jinling? The emperor asked a few questions in a row, as if he was helpless, and his eyes were a little melancholy.

Xia Ling'er glanced down at her clothes, reached out and stroked her forehead, and said a little unnaturally: "Oh, it seems that I am used to wearing it when I go out." ”

"What are you doing out there?" The emperor asked again, and his tone was a little pale and weak.

Xia Ling'er rolled her dark eyes, as if she was thinking, but she swept to Mu Yichen on the opposite side and looked at her evilly, leaning on the table with one hand on her cheek, the smile on her face was clearly still that kind of ridicule, he must have done it on purpose, he wanted to sort out his thoughts well, but he was all disrupted by this merry disciple.

"It's just going to be around and having fun, there's nothing else to do." Xia Ling'er looked at the emperor and replied expressionlessly.

Mu Yichen smiled ridiculously again, because he remembered that she was going to the Flower Pavilion to learn the piano, and he felt ridiculous.

Xia Ling'er was already trying to avoid his gaze.

"It's really not fun to wander around like this all the time, how about I take you to a horse race tomorrow?" The emperor seemed to have said something to be happy about, and his eyes were shining.

"I'm afraid the princess just likes it, and she doesn't really ride a horse, and it's really not suitable." Mu Yichen always wore an evil smile.

"Brother Huang, does he always look like this?" Xia Ling'er glanced at Mu Yichen, then looked at the emperor again and asked, it seemed that she had been enduring it.

The emperor also looked at Mu Yichen, his face seemed to have a warning, and then said: "If it doesn't like it, you can deal with it." ”

"Really?" Xia Ling'er's eyes widened, she was really ecstatic, and the emperor even felt that this smile was what he wanted to see the most.

"Well, but outside the palace." The emperor changed the conversation again.

That's fine!

"Little Lord Mu, be careful when you go out in the future! Don't touch me, or you'll die a terrible death. Xia Ling'er smiled proudly.

"I won't bump into it, I usually only go to Flower Street Willow Lane." Mu Yichen replied to her indifferently.

"Hey......" The emperor suddenly sighed, as if he was very unhappy that Mu Yichen told Xia Ling'er about these things about Fengyue, and then the emperor picked up the tea bowl and raised his hand to splash the tea on Mu Yichen.

Mu Yichen suddenly calmed down, only to see him close his eyes expressionlessly, reach out and stroke the tea leaves on his face, and then still smile faintly.

Xia Ling'er looked very excited, stretched out her thumb to praise the emperor, and said seriously: "Brother Huang is very skilled!" ”

Then he looked at Mu Yichen proudly, Mu Yichen was honest this time, but he just replied with a pursed lips and a light smile.

Just when everyone was making a happy and proud fuss, the eunuch next to the emperor came in to report.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Lan is asking to see you outside the palace!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, I'm afraid no one would have thought that Lan Guifei would move here.

Concubine Lan was originally looking for the emperor, but the emperor was not there but came to the princess, and she was anxious to see the emperor.

I saw that everyone glanced at each other, and they all seemed to be embarrassed.

Xia Ling'er couldn't figure out what Concubine Lan was doing here? Haven't you made a fuss? I still want to ask the royal brother for an explanation in person. It can't be because I went to her palace just now to threaten it, right? Probably not, I guess she didn't have the courage to say those words.

The emperor is even more difficult to do, and he is also afraid that Concubine Lan will make trouble again and fight for an explanation, but the gang told Xia Ling'er that he didn't blame her for this, didn't it make it more difficult for him?

Mu Yichen was surprised that it seemed that today was going to be lively.

It's just enough to get used to one woman, but now there are two of them, why is the emperor bothering?

The emperor thought about it, but let Concubine Lan come in.

As soon as Concubine Lan entered the palace gate, she first glanced at Mu Yichen and Xia Ling'er, and they were all sitting there steadily, it seemed that the emperor did not blame her for today's events at all, and her trouble today was probably meaningless.

Concubine Lan stood still and knelt down directly to salute the emperor.

"The concubine greets the emperor!" Lan Guifei said coldly.

The emperor naturally heard that Concubine Lan was still angry, but she wouldn't make trouble here, so it was inevitable that she would be a little hypocritical to kneel here like this.

"What does this mean, concubine?" The emperor also seems to have some displeasure.

As soon as the emperor said this, he saw that Lan Guifei's eyes were red in an instant, and two lines of tears poured out at the same time, raising her charming little face, and looking at the emperor with rain.

The emperor instantly felt distressed, but before the words of pity could be spoken, he heard Lan Guifei's voice crying and complaining.

"The concubine knows that she has lost her virtue, but she is absolutely cautious about her words and deeds to the prince, and she knows that as a prince, she should be more valuable, and she will never dare to spoil her, let alone condone the prince's willful domineering! So the concubine wants to ask the emperor, what serious crime did the concubine commit? So much so that the emperor was asked to 'go to the mother and keep the son'. ”

"What did you say?" The emperor, who was originally sitting upright, suddenly got up, with a fierce look of doubt in his eyes.

Xia Ling'er underestimated Concubine Lan in the end, and finally put her along.

I saw Xia Ling'er sitting there stiffly, her two fists clenched tightly, her head lowered, her face was like ashes, and only her eyes still showed a sense of perseverance.

Mu Yichen knew the seriousness of this matter even more, and his face showed a rare panic.

The emperor walked towards Concubine Lan in two steps, reached out to hold her chin, and asked again in an angry low voice: "You say it again, what are you talking about?" ”

Concubine Lan Guifei cried even more miserably, and said: "It was the princess who just ran to my palace and said that the emperor wants to plan for the prince and 'go to the mother and keep the son'." ”

The emperor then looked at Xia Ling'er with angry eyes and asked coldly, "You really said that?" ”

At this time, the emperor's eyes were not only angry, but also disappointed, distressed, and should be cold, in short, his eyes were complicated and even more frightening.

Xia Ling'er didn't dare to look up at the emperor, she still sat still, although she didn't threaten the emperor's order as Lan Guifei described, but 'go to the mother and keep the child' was indeed what she said, and she was afraid that she couldn't argue with it.

Mu Yichen is the person who has a heart to heart with the emperor, and it is necessary to solve problems for the emperor, such as at this time, it is the time when he needs to play a role.

Mu Yichen got up and instructed the people around Concubine Lan: "You send Concubine back to the palace immediately, the emperor will decide this matter." ”

The palace people naturally knew about the friendship between Mu Xiaowang and the emperor, and they all obeyed the order to help Concubine Lan get up and walk out.

Since Concubine Lan has already said something to the emperor, her goal has been achieved, so why bother with it here, let the emperor watch it! So he obediently went back.

Mu Yichen then helped the emperor sit down and let him dissipate his anger.

While pushing the emperor to sit down, he said with a pleasant face: "Your Majesty, sit down first, don't worry, try slowly." ”

When the emperor turned around, he also stretched out his foot and kicked Xia Ling'er, giving her a look and making her kneel down immediately.

This time, Xia Ling'er was also interested, got up and knelt down facing the emperor, and could only wait for the emperor to fall, still bowing her head and eyes.

Mu Yichen looked at Xia Ling'er, pretending to be very angry, giving Shi Jin the title for the emperor, and said sharply: "Princess, what's the matter?" ”

What else can be said? There is no point in arguing anymore.

Xia Ling'er still bowed her head and was silent, her two hands tightly clutching the hem of the brocade suit, pulling hard.

Mu Yichen glanced at the emperor who was still angry, and then pretended to say to Xia Ling'er: "You can't just admit your mistakes and not speak!" I have to make this clear today, do you hear? ”

Mu Yichen observed the two of them back and forth, one was angry, the other was stubborn, and it was not a way to consume it like this, it would only make the situation worse.

Ay......

Mu Yichen sighed, pulled up the emperor and said: "The emperor's dragon body is important, it is not easy to spend it here with this girl, you go back first, I will judge you slowly, come here, send the emperor back!" ”

As Mu Yichen spoke, he pushed the emperor outward, leaving the emperor to think. He sent the emperor to the gate of the courtyard, sat on the step, and watched him leave, before turning around and returning to the Qinfang Palace.

Xia Ling'er was still kneeling motionless on the ground.

"Get up! People are gone. Mu Yichen returned to the hall again, sat down and took a sip of tea.

But Xia Ling'er didn't seem to have any intention of getting up. Still silent.

Mu Yichen looked troubled and helpless, got up and walked to Xia Ling'er, half-knelt and squatted, looked down at Xia Ling'er's eyes, still those eyes that showed cold and resolute light, he really had no remorse, and glanced at Mu Yichen fiercely.

Mu Yichen snorted coldly and said, "Are you too smart?" Or is it a broken string in the brain? How dare you say that? ”

Xia Ling'er raised her head at this time, as if she regretted it, and sighed: "It's me who is too impulsive to do such an uncool thing." ”

Mu Yichen had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Originally, the emperor didn't mean to blame you at all for this matter of Wenxuan. Why do you think you are so unhappy with yourself? ”

Oh, yes! She thought that the emperor would ask her for guilt, but it seemed that she still didn't know enough about the imperial brother.

Xia Ling'er suddenly remembered the emperor's words just now, although she didn't blame herself, but obviously she was protecting Concubine Lan, so she said to Mu Yichen again: "Brother Huang is still very protective of that slut, isn't he?" ”

"Your imperial brother wants to defend you more, don't you know? However, it's useless to want to defend you, I'm afraid that the emperor's heart has been broken by you at this time. Mu Yichen said expressionlessly.

Xia Ling'er asked disapprenously: "Is it so serious?" I just said casually, it's not like that slut went to school with the emperor, she deliberately wanted to frame me. ”

"Then why didn't you just say that? It seems that you also know that even justification is meaningless, so you should not say those four words lightly. ”

Xia Ling'er heard Mu Yichen say these words, turned her head and forgot to look at him, she didn't expect that he also had a serious time, it seemed that he still needed to take a new look at this man.

"Alright! Get up! You're comfortable on your knees, but I'm tired of talking to you like that. Mu Yichen stood up as he spoke, and stretched out his hand to her, although he was a little annoyed, Xia Ling'er was not as disgusted as when facing him before, and also stretched out his hand to put it on his hand, and he took advantage of the situation to stand up.

Mu Yichen held her delicate hand, feeling wet and cold, it seemed that she was nervous or scared just now. Xia Ling'er and Mu Yichen sat a few times apart, put one hand on a few cases, and asked with a blank face: "Is this really serious?" "Well, it's very serious!" Although Mu Yichen said that he was tired and understated, things were really just like these four words. Mu Yichen's eyes turned to Xia Ling'er again, and said to her seriously: "Do you know what your four words mean? It means that you want two children to lose their mothers, Xia Wenxuan is only four years old, and you want their father to take their mother's life......" Xia Ling'er's expression began to panic when she heard this, it should be fear, and the light from her eyes is clearly fear. Oh, yes! How could she, Xia Ling'er, make such a serious and low-level mistake? Didn't her royal brother experience such the most painful betrayal of family affection? His mother was given death by his father, so that he lost his mother and father when he was a child. How painful would that hurt? How did he come back to life as a child? "So what should I do now?" Xia Ling'er's expression was pale but still a little calm, but her tears had slipped down her cheeks, she probably didn't know! Mu Yichen looked at Xia Ling'er, stared quietly for a moment, and then, his eyebrows opened, and he breathed a sigh of relief, his expression seemed to be much more relaxed than just now, maybe Xia Ling'er was able to recognize the facts, so he could be comforted! "You will go to Xiyun Palace tomorrow to ask Concubine Lan for guilt......" Mu Yichen was interrupted by Xia Ling'er as soon as he said a word: "You're not mistaken, right?" Are you in her group? Why should I plead guilty to her? Xia Ling'er said categorically and affirmatively. Perhaps, she thinks that she just needs to confess her sins to the royal brother. Mu Yichen didn't seem to want to pay attention to her, he only frowned and glanced at her, and his face was also very bad, but he continued: "And it must pass when the emperor is there, whether you endure it or pretend, you must sincerely ask for guilt, until Concubine Lan nods and forgives you!" Xia Ling'er listened to him, and her eyes gradually became resentful, and her eyes were light red. There's only one way you can do it. After Mu Yichen finished speaking, he finally glanced at Xia Ling'er again, got up and was about to leave. Wait a minute! Xia Ling'er seemed to think of something, and suddenly stopped him. Mu Yichen had just taken two steps, stopped and turned to look at Xia Ling'er. Xia Ling'er looked at him just in the eye. It seems that he has something on his mind to say to Mu Yichen. After a long time, Xia Ling'er spoke slowly, and her tone was particularly calm and calm: "You have lived in this palace since you were a child, and you grew up with my imperial brother, why did you, as his most intimate playmate, leave him when he was most distressed and helpless?" Moved out of Ruiyang Palace. This is the news that Le Nan has been asking for her these days, but she knows that it is just a rumor from the outside world, and there must be another reason. Xia Ling'er's bright eyes shot a sharp light at Mu Yichen, not only did he not lose his usual bohemianism, but his handsome face also looked a little twitched and distorted. This incident is undoubtedly the most painful injury to Xia Duyu, who is the emperor, but it is not a torment for Mu Yichen. Xia Duyu was able to survive the lowest point of his life and grow into the majestic Ninety-Five Honor, and it was the most cruel injury in the world that made his heart strong and exercised his mind. And Mu Yichen has been accustomed to self-anesthesia and disguise since then, so much so that now he is only good at disguising himself. But at this time, in the face of Xia Ling'er's questioning, he didn't know how to disguise himself, he just looked at Xia Ling'er blankly for a while, he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know what else he could say, saying that he didn't turn his back on his childhood partner, so why did he leave? How could he say it, he would never tell that secret that no one knew, he wouldn't, he was afraid, afraid of losing his loved ones. "I've never been alienated from Twilight." Mu Yichen still said it. Oh, yes! Xia Ling'er believed that he had to leave as a last resort, and he should have called him "Twilight Feather" before. It's still so kind. Xia Ling'er heard the trembling between his words, saw his fragility and fear, and knew that if she investigated the reason, I was afraid that he would not tell the truth, so she didn't ask anymore. Xia Ling'er got up and walked towards the door, past Mu Yichen, who was stunned. It was already night, and it was dark and cloudy, and there were a few silk lanterns hanging in the courtyard, which were also gray and red. Xia Ling'er swallowed her saliva, her face was expressionless, and she asked softly: "How did he come over all those years?" When Xia Ling'er asked this sentence, she felt that her heart was inexplicably stabbed, and a self-deprecating smile flashed at the corner of her mouth, it turned out that she would feel distressed when she asked, what about the emperor's brother's heart? Mu Yichen's expression was solemn, yes! How did Twilight get over those years? Maybe only Twilight Yu himself knows best, he doesn't even remember how he survived those years, maybe he doesn't want to remember it at all. Mu Yichen looked at Xia Ling'er's back and smiled faintly, and said, "Why don't you go and ask your imperial brother in person, and ask him how he came over in those years." Xia Ling'er also smiled lightly, but smiled bitterly, she said, "Do you want me to uncover his scars and make him hurt again?" "Yes! The last thing he wants is for someone to touch the past. However, today's incident has undoubtedly made the emperor hurt again! "Then don't mention it again, never again, and don't expect me to tell you anything." After Mu Yichen said this, he walked out and walked past Xia Ling'er who was standing at the door, without stopping for a moment. "What kind of woman was my mother? You've definitely seen her! Xia Ling'er suddenly asked loudly at Mu Yichen's back, full of pleading, begging him to tell her a thing or two. Mu Yichen turned his head to look at Xia Ling'er's expectant eyes, was stunned, and said, "She is a queen of the world, and she is also a virtuous and virtuous mother!" Mu Yichen said with great certainty, and pride! Mu Yichen smiled indifferently at Xia Ling'er, as if he was comforting her! "Don't leave the palace in the last few days, think about it at home, I'm afraid your imperial brother won't forgive you so quickly!" With that, he turned and left. Xia Ling'er seemed to understand why the imperial brother regarded him as his only friend at this time, whether it was the suave appearance of the emperor, or a serious mentor and friend who was responsible for the imperial brother, he handled it properly.
