Chapter 31: Talking by the River

He wore a golden silk embroidered flying dragon black brocade, and his black hair was tied with a jade crown, and he strode towards her calmly, and the corners of his mouth raised a smile.

"How's the concubine?" She asked, leaning against the edge of the railing, with a smile.

"I haven't woken up yet, I'll take you somewhere." As he spoke, he walked over to her side, took her hand and walked out.

A white horse stopped in the middle of the road, followed by a team of armored soldiers. She turned over and got on the horse, Gu Hanxuan hugged her and galloped on the horse, the wind whistled past her ears, her green silk blew on his face, and he was comfortable and satisfied.

The street shops passing by on both sides of the street were noisy, and the people who came and went sideways gave way, and a wide guardrail river appeared in front of them.

Gu Hanxuan stopped the horse, and Mu Yunqi slipped off the horse briskly and walked towards the river.

The pear blossoms on the side of the guardrail have blossomed, and the white petals flutter by the river, and some of the petals fall into the moat, following the river in front of the river.

Gu Hanxuan walked up to her and looked at her beautiful and elegant silhouette, staring greedily, her beauty has always been so forgettable and pleasing to the eye.

Today at noon, she suddenly appeared in Xin Zhenyi's room, which made him feel doubtful, he didn't know where the doubt came from, but he couldn't put it down.

He longed for his shadow in her eyes, he wanted to talk to her heart-to-heart, and he didn't want to bear such hardships and losses all the time, so he hurriedly took her out, wanting to get rid of the uneasiness in his heart as soon as possible.

He opened his lips and said leisurely: "On the day my father died, after you left the room, he told me that he said that you did not want to stay in the deep palace and did not want to be bound. Even if I give you the highest honor, you won't take it to heart, that day.... I don't believe it, in my heart, you are the only woman in the world who can stand side by side with me, so I never thought that you would leave. He finished in one breath, his eyes looking at her with grief.

"But the next day you disappeared, and I couldn't find you in the whole palace, and that's when I realized you.... It turns out that I really don't want to stay with me. He leaned against the guardrail and looked at the flowing river, his eyes hazy.

He couldn't remember how he reacted when he learned of her disappearance, or even what he had thought when he sat in her room all night.

"Your Majesty...."Mu Yunqi murmured softly, revealing his true feelings to him.

"You know that I will never let you be implicated because of the Mu family, why do you want to leave?" Gu Hanxuan's eyes were surging with streamers, and he looked sideways at her with a thick color of pain.

Mu Yunqi lowered her head, her heart was like a stone thrown into the water, causing a splash, and his words made her surprised and slightly moved.

"Your Majesty, I don't deserve to be like this from you at all. The Mu family has committed such a great crime, how dare I dare to think of your forgiveness. She looked down and said, not daring to look up at the indelible affection on his face.

"Today, I have made the greatest concession to the Mu family, will you stay by my side with peace of mind?" His gaze was fixed on her drooping face, and although he couldn't see her face clearly, he carefully studied her every subtle movement.

"Your Majesty....", she looked up at him, her gaze evading.

"You... Will you stay with me? He repeated, looking at her with a look of hope.

Mu Yunqi looked at the arched bridge on the moat, on which men and women passed by in twos and threes, in vain a picture of the fireworks in the world.

At this moment, she wished that someone would be able to break the embarrassment in front of her, and he forced her to answer, but she really didn't know how to answer.

"Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth?" She decided.

Gu Hanxuan nodded and looked at the arch bridge with her.

"I don't want to be around you, to be precise, I don't like to stay in the palace, I hate to cheat with those women, I hate it.... I can't tell, but I hate those days. She said calmly, then looked at Gu Hanxuan, and told him with her eyes that her words now were from the bottom of her heart.

"You are the queen, and you have my protection."

Mu Yunqi shook his head, and said in a low tone: "Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, I hate those ill-intentioned frames around me, and I don't bother to intrigue." It is precisely because of his favoritism that he will attract envy and hatred and cause trouble.

"Since I have promised you a posterior, how can I allow people to hurt you and harm you?" Gu Hanxuan's voice was raised, and his tone was a little undulating.

Mu Yunqi smiled mockingly, sadness rose in his heart, and said: "The emperor thinks he can protect me for a while, but I think that the true feelings under the imperial power are vulnerable. ”

Gu Hanxuan laughed out loud, his eyes looked at her, and he said with pain: "You don't believe me, you don't believe me... Love you. He said it very quietly.

When he heard the last two words of his words, Mu Yunqi's heart chuckled, and his eyes looked at him suspiciously, there were too many things in his apricot eyes that he couldn't see clearly, there were doubts and scouts, and even a trace of disdain.

"The first emperor once told the world that he loved the female saint of Haoyue Palace, and his love was to occupy her land, that is, to tell the whole world that she was a person who brought disaster to the country and the people, and he made her dare not stay in the world to be scolded by the world, this is the love under the imperial power?" She said excitedly, her tone angry and sad.

"My father has not been happy all his life, and he is in remorse and pain until he dies, is this punishment not enough?" Gu Hanxuan's tone aggravated a little.

At this moment, tears welled up from the bottom of Mu Yunqi's eyes, dripping from the corners of her eyes, she turned her back to him, wiped away her tears, covered the sadness in her heart, and said: "In order to expand the territory, the first emperor attacked the city and seized the pool in the name of regaining his beloved. Beauty is so insignificant in front of the country, how can he say love? ”

In her heart, she was extremely sad about what happened to that woman, not only because she was her mother, but also because she was disheartened by the imperial power and never expected to be sincere.

Under the imperial power, how can there be sincerity?

Gu Hanxuan stepped forward and hugged her into his arms, reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, and said distressedly: "You and her are different after all." ”

"I may be different from her, but the love of the emperor has always been the same." She regained her composure and struggled out of his arms.

Gu Hanxuan smiled dumbly, unwilling to talk to her about this again because of her crying appearance. Originally, she wanted to ask the man who rescued her before, blaming herself for being suspicious, and she forced her to ask her because she wanted to make her heart feel at ease, but her tears hit his heart, smashing a bloody hole and making him even more uncomfortable.

"That's it, don't mention it. Now that spring is just right, I will travel with you to see the beautiful mountains and rivers, and don't think about those bad things. He was really frustrated, he wanted to hear what she had to say, but he didn't want to end up in her tears.

He wiped away the tears from her face again, and led her across the arched bridge, the generals behind him who were far away, but not an inch away.

The people looked at the pair of people on the bridge from a distance from the moat, the spring breeze was blowing, and the flowers were falling, as if all things in heaven and earth were inferior to the scenery on the arch bridge. So impressive, so envious of others.
