Chapter Ninety-Eight: Scheming
Mu Bingyue fell asleep, unaware that the sun had turned west, but the first time she woke up, she found that she was in his arms.
His hand was still on her lower abdomen, staring at her for a moment since she opened it, as if to scrutinize her reaction.
Although she had promised to accept her, Mu Bingyue clearly knew in her heart that it would only be a tragedy.
She has only a few years left in her life......
Her reaction seemed to satisfy him, and after a kiss fell between his eyebrows, he said, "I'll go and tell them to bring in dinner." ”
Mu Bingyue nodded.
He dropped another kiss on her hairline.
Ye Ling came in quickly, and there was not a trace of superfluous expression on Qingqi's face.
Although she was Xuanyuan Yi's subordinate, she didn't want her, the daughter of a dead country, to stay with their emperor. It's because of her identity that she chooses to turn a blind eye.
Mu Bingyue sighed in her heart. Xuanyuan Yi ordered people to go to the meal, but he didn't return for so long, and he thought he was led away by those generals.
Sima Han can't stay, and he can't let him stay in Devil City at this moment, which can make him give up the great opportunity to exterminate the Flame Army, which shows that there are greater interests behind.
Although he can't disobey Xuanyuan Yi openly, he is very scheming, even if he will not disobey Xuanyuan Yi's will on the surface, but in private, he will definitely respect the maximization of interests, and let Chi Yan go so easily, I know how he plans, maybe he will increase Chi Yan's tribute later, so that Chi Yan will be overwhelmed and infighting, not to mention this, even if he doesn't mention leaving Devil City at the moment, it is already obvious.
She was grateful that Xuanyuan Yi didn't ask her about the origin of the black fire, but the more they stayed here, the more dangerous the secrets they had buried would be leaked.
She had to get him out of here as soon as possible, and she couldn't stay with Xuanyuan anytime soon.
When Nangong Chen returns, the balance of all parties will be broken in an instant, and Sima Han's lobbying ability is the biggest danger inducement.
At this moment, the red flame is no longer free from any wind and rain.
"Let the military doctor prescribe some painkillers for me." Mu Bingyue commanded Ye Ling.
Ye Ling never said anything, turned her head and went to order, but this time she didn't go to Xuanyuan Yi to give Xuanyuan Yi a gift, after all, it was just some trivial things in her daughter's family.
The dinner was used up, and the medicine was used, but Xuanyuan Yi still showed no signs of returning, which made Mu Bingyue's heart uneasy.
The cold wind is biting in early winter, and Leshan is like a stone pine.
Wanlv Mountain moved into a sea of snow, and the bamboo sea stood proudly at the peak.
Mu Bingyue silently read this poem in her heart, quietly looking at the silver sea under the clouds.
The snow blooms on the edge of the blue lake shrouded in snow, and every branch and leaf is a brilliant reflection of the silver light of the first moon.
Snowflakes fall in clusters, like thousands of flying flotsam...... A thin layer of snow accumulated on her shoulders in a short time......
The sound of hurried footsteps was far and near, and the lips that were frozen by the cold wind were almost invisible with relief.
The body frozen by the cold wind was quickly taken into a fiery embrace.
Xuanyuan Yi glanced at Ye Ling on the side reproachfully, and then looked at Mu Bingyue, who couldn't help but tremble in his arms, "Can't you let me put a snack?" How can such a big person not take care of himself. ”
Ye Ling retreated.
Mu Bingyue turned her eyes and saw Sima Han standing not far away, looking at her with scrutinizing eyes.
Scold!
I chuckled in my heart.
I'm afraid she's thinking something!
That's right, too! Every time their plans were easily disrupted by her, it was no wonder he was so nervous.
And she, bringing him here, does have a different purpose.
But this time, the result was by no means what he had imagined.
In other words, if it was to kill him, he would not have thought of it.
A soft kiss fell on the jade neck, "Let's go, let's go back." ”
Mu Bingyue shook her head, cold as jade, and said: "Your Majesty, do you know that there was a folk legend. ”
"Call me Yi." Although he was also curious about the legend in her mouth, after all, it was the first time she had calmly spoken to him in some common words, but he cared more about what she called him.
"Yi ......" hesitated slightly, but she still obeyed him. He sent her a steady stream of internal force, and her whole body became warmer.
The wind stirred up and took her hair and curled it up to his hair.
"It is said that the moon does not shine in the first place, because it reflects the light of the sun like a copper mirror, so it is like there is light."
"Oh. I've never heard of that. He had never been able to fathom her, and he had no idea what she was going to tell this time, and although he didn't expect her to tell him gossip or love stories like the women, he couldn't guess what she was going to say when she did.
Mu Bingyue's words turned several times in Sima Han's brain.
"They are two gods chasing each other, they both want to catch up with each other, they want to let their light battle win each other, but because we are in the middle of them, they can't meet, because the mortal subjects of the flesh can't stand the divine power of the two gods, but the heavens let them each have their own piece of heaven."
Sima Han's face sank.
"Their earthly subjects need them, but they can't need them all the time, they need the sun when they plough, they need the moon when they rest, and though both will bring them light, they can't say who they need more."
"One day, when the sun withdrew its light in order to prove itself more important, the whole world was plunged into darkness, and the moon was invisible to the world even when it appeared before its eyes."
"The moon was ashamed to hide itself in the clouds, and it decided never to appear before the eyes of the world, and it gave up the sky to the sun, and so the sun began to appear before the eyes of the world again. When it appears, it illuminates the entire sky, and when it falls, darkness envelops the entire land. Slowly the sun found that its subjects were slowly losing their smiles, and it knew that it was the darkness that made them feel lonely, and after being lonely, it chose to hang in the sky all day to accompany its subjects. ”
But it found its subjects increasingly unhappy. Because the sky is always bright, the unscrupulous monarch always tries to exploit his subjects, and his subjects have no time to rest. At that moment, the sun knew that its subjects needed it, but also the moon, and needed the light of the moon to illuminate the darkness after it was gone, to become the sky that the subjects needed, so it invited the moon back to jointly favor their subjects. ”
Xuanyuan Yi listened quietly and never said anything. Mu Bingyue knew that he had understood.
Although it was still hot in her arms, she felt cold from the inside.
He knew the reason for her surrender, but it didn't mean that she could ask him again and again to let Nangong Chen go back to power, but he was afraid that he would not want from the bottom of his heart, but in the current situation, even if the Yan Army escaped the current catastrophe, it would only face the end of being homeless and killing each other with his brother.
At the time of the game, it was countless innocent people who suffered.
"You have spared them several times, and the people will appreciate your kindness, and although they cannot bow down to you, they will never be against you."
His ambitions, she knew. But to create a great cause, it takes tens of thousands of bones to pile up.
Landscape...... Beauty......
She didn't know what he would choose, she only knew she had to fight once.
At this moment, Chiyan is about to face a battle for the throne, and his position is very important in it.
Sima Han opened his mouth first, "The story told by Miss Mu is in the clouds, although I don't know which is more important in the hearts of the subjects, but after all, they can't become a family, and they are in the same sky from time to time. ”
Mu Bingyue's heart gradually cooled, but her eyes became more and more determined.
"The little woman missed a point, the moon shines after the sun, and the stars in the sky shine after the sun, and although they shine at night without the moon, they still shine, but they still cannot take away the light that belongs to the moon and the support of their subjects."
Hearing what he meant, Sima Han's eyes darkened.
Even if the sky is changed, the hearts of the people will not be used to the moonless sky.
Sima Han, who was clever and eloquent, was rarely silent, but he was afraid of Mu Bingyue in his heart and Japanese drama.
Xuanyuan Yi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, opened his mouth, "The beautiful scenery of the good day is the sky, the wind is rising, let's go back." ”
Mu Bingyue didn't move, her eyes passed through the elite blue lake, and she looked straight at the sky, looking extremely lonely.
Xuanyuan Yi's face was impatient, and she was about to force her, but she said quietly: "On the high cliff opposite, there is a flower called Edelweiss, which blooms when the sun sets and the silver moon sounds, and when I hear that there is snow, it will bloom more dazzling...... It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to take a look at it last time. ”
Xuanyuan Yi paused, and was still very unhappy when he heard her mention it, but seeing her expression, he just missed the flower, so he forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Thinking that she was thinking about something for the first time, and that she was ruthless and Nangong Chen had never satisfied her, he decided to take it with her.
Originally, this was not a big deal, the blue lake was only a few dozen zhang, and the high cliff was only a few dozen zhang high, and it would only take a moment to go back and forth.
"I'll pick it for you." After Xuanyuan Yi said this, he personally stepped on the lake.
Sima Han never believed that she was just mentioning the edelweiss, "Miss Mu opened the emperor, but she had to say something to the next." ”
"Master Sima is still so smart." Mu Bingyue's eyes were staring at Xuanyuan Yi in the middle of the lake, and her heart was complicated and indescribable. His true feelings, she, finally lost.
"The emperor is obedient to the girl, and it will be difficult for the girl to speak to the emperor, but I am afraid that I can't help it." Sima Han pulled out a thousand catties in four or two.
"Lord Sima filtered, the little woman just didn't want to bother the emperor with some trivial things."
Sima Han chuckled lightly and looked at Xuanyuan Yi, "Listen to me." ”
"The deceased queen of Chiyan was once the sworn sister of the little girl, and today she gave me a dream, saying that the water is deep and the bones are cold, and I hope that I will find the bones of their mother and son and send them back to the imperial tomb for burial."
"The canal is long, but I'm afraid that the bones have long been washed away." The more ordinary she said, the more uneasy Sima Han's heart became.
"I heard that as long as it is something that adults want to do, there is nothing that cannot be done, and the little woman can only entrust this matter to adults."
At this time, Xuanyuan Yi had already crossed the blue lake, and looked back at this side from afar.
"I'm entangled in miscellaneous things, I'm afraid I'm powerless." Sima Han was still worried in his heart, he knew this woman's temperament very well, and he had no reason to ask him for such a mundane thing.
"I know." Mu Bingyue exhaled faintly, and a cloud of white mist shrouded her already indistinct expression more and more tightly.
Sima Han was stunned in his heart, and the more she understated it, the more uneasy he became.
Just as Xuanyuan Yi stood at the bottom of the cliff, found a good route under the silver moon, and began to climb up, Mu Bingyue suddenly made a move that shocked everyone.
I saw that she tore off the cloak on her body, and then took off the coat in the next moment.
Ye Ling's face changed in an instant, and the faces of the twelve generals hidden were even more unsightly.
Sima Han came to his senses and quickly turned around, and just started to leave, he heard Mu Bingyue say: "Lord Sima, if the emperor turns back at this time, have you thought about the consequences?" ”
"Are you crazy?" Sima Han was in a mess for the first time, her mind was full of it, she was crazy!
