Chapter 49: Talking Under the Moon
Under the starry sky, a flat field was filled with tents, and the dim lights swayed in the wind.
On the slope of the mountain behind the Northern Military Camp, Mu Yunqi sat on a big rock with one hand on his cheek, looking at the smoke under the mountain.
After returning to the barracks today, Gu Hanxuan gave her a burden.
"There are some customs clearance documents for silver taels and the northern kingdom in this baggage, and when you return to the northern country, you can go wherever you want." Gu Hanxuan handed the burden to her.
Mu Yunqi looked at him and didn't know what he meant, and said, "You want to let me go?" ”
Gu Hanxuan smiled, put the burden on the table, and said, "I don't want to force you to keep you." ”
Mu Yunqi opened his lips and stopped talking.
He had fled from him many times, and now that he really wanted to let himself go, why did he suddenly not know what to do.
"Don't worry, I won't follow you, I want you to go back to the north and leave because I don't trust anyone, I only believe that you are in the north, so no one can hurt you." His gaze was calm, full of affection.
"Your Majesty, I ......" Mu Yunqi's tears swirled in his eyes, and his voice was subtle.
Her heart hurt hard, the man in front of her had done everything to herself, how could she not be moved.
A cloak suddenly draped over her, pulling her thoughts back.
"It's still a little cold at night, why did you come here?" After Gu Hanxuan put the cloak on her, he sat next to her.
Mu Yunqi smiled at him sideways and said, "The sky above here is very beautiful. ”
Gu Hanxuan stared at her and said with a smile: "It's very beautiful." ”
His eyes were as bright as stars, and he looked at Mu Yunqi's eyes with an indissoluble tenderness.
Mu Yunqi turned his head embarrassedly and looked at the sky.
The scene at the foot of the mountain seems to be nothing more than the military strength of a powerful country, or maybe it is just a battle between two great powers, or maybe in the eyes of the world, it is because of a woman's fight.
Now, this woman is back in the Northland, and this war may be over, and it should be over.
But Mu Yunqi knew that it was impossible to end, and Nangong He's ambition could not end so lightly from the moment he took "Mountains and Rivers".
"Your Majesty, you can do what you want with the third brother." She glanced at Gu Hanxuan, who was sitting beside her, and raised a helpless smile.
"I'll spare him a life." He said lightly, as if he had never taken it seriously.
"Thank you."
For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent, and a fresh breeze blew through the two of them.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously cracked into a smile, and his face was filled with joy that could not be concealed.
The two sat quietly on a large rock.
The moon is full of stars, the breeze is a little, and the years at this moment can be regarded as quiet.
Although Mu Yunqi still couldn't forget Nangong He in her heart, when she was in Jinguo, she was determined to erase him from her heart, she wanted to find a place to belong alone and live this life quietly.
When she saw the war she had caused, she decided to leave her freedom and happiness behind.
Right now, she won't leave, not to mention what kind of war there will be in the world in the future, as far as Mu Yunche is concerned, she has to take care of it.
Lan Gu, Bai Rong, Mu Yunche, she has too many worries, how can she be happy by herself with peace of mind.
What she owes the most now is Gu Hanxuan, no matter whether she forgets Nangong He or not, she owes the man in front of her too much, and she has to pay it back.
"Your Majesty." She shouted faintly.
"Huh?" Gu Hanxuan glanced at her.
"In the Luzhou Palace, how can I get the antidote to the poison in me?"
Since the poison is a thing of the dynasty, it must be ordered by the queen mother.
After he was poisoned, if it wasn't the antidote found by Haoyue Palace, someone had informed Gu Hanxuan of the news. When he was in Jinguo, with Linlang's performance at that time, it must be impossible for the antidote to come from Haoyue Palace.
If it weren't for the fact that he was from Haoyue Palace, only Gu Hanxuan would be left, and if he didn't ask about it today, it proved that he knew very well that the poison had been cured.
She was very curious, since the Queen Mother wanted to put her to death, why would she easily hand over the antidote?
"I and the Queen Mother are mother and son, and we have our own way to get the antidote from her." He said, looking sideways at her.
recalled that day in order to get the antidote from the queen mother, he agreed to make Xin Zhenyi the queen, as long as he saved Mu Yunqi, he would let go.
never thought that Mu Yunche later told her that Nangong He took her captive to Jinguo in order to save the princess of Jinguo.
He could let go, but he couldn't put her in danger.
As long as she is safe and sound, even if it will cause chaos in the world.
Mu Yunqi looked at him with a smile and a look of disbelief. She understood how it could be as simple as he said, but he didn't want to mention it, and she couldn't ask more.
Nangong He took away "Mountains and Rivers", and the world would set off a big chaos, she didn't know, she only knew that she wanted to stop this turmoil and do her best to stop it.
She sighed deeply, looked down the mountain and asked, "Have you ever complained about me?" ”
Gu Hanxuan looked at her silently, and after a while, he asked gently, "Then you—have you ever complained about me, have you ever complained that I selfishly want to keep you by my side?" ”
Mu Yunqi lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and after muttering for a long time, he said, "I have never complained to you, you just don't understand what I think in my heart." ”
"What's on your mind?" His gaze deepened, looking at her and waiting for her to answer.
She continued to look down the hill, her gaze wandering.
"In the future, the world will be peaceful, that's what I think."
The breeze ruffled her hair and blew her words into the distance.
Gu Hanxuan smiled bitterly and said, "Tomorrow the army will prepare to return to the dynasty, and you will set off with me tomorrow." ”
"Okay." Mu Yunqi nodded.
"Have you figured out where to go?" His tone was light, and there was no rise or fall in his voice.
Mu Yunqi pursed his lips and said, "I want to go to the border, I want to persuade the third brother to give up." ”
Gu Hanxuan looked up at the sky and looked at Mingyue silently.
Of course, he was worried in his heart, if Mu Yunqi was held hostage at the border, what should he do?
"Mu Yunche will not be easily persuaded, I hope you don't go to see him."
"The emperor is afraid that the third brother has taken me hostage?"
Gu Hanxuan looked at her and said, "Right now, Mu Yunche has not only taken away the border, but the four cities on the border have been captured by him, and he has all the generals who are guarding the city under his banner, completely opposing the northern country." Now he had in his hands all the soldiers in the four cities, no less than 100,000 troops. ”
Mu Yunqi's face was full of surprise, and his eyes revealed a shocked gaze.
She shook her head in disbelief and muttered, "How so? How could the third brother have such a big incitement? ”
"Everybody, they all underestimated him." Gu Hanxuan said coldly, his eyes wandering off the mountain, and his lips hooked up with a touch of mockery.
I don't know if he is mocking Mu Yunche's rebellion or mocking his own carelessness.
Mu Yunqi's thoughts were in a mess, if it was really as Gu Hanxuan said, then the third brother would never be persuaded by his words.
If she really wants to go to the border, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be held hostage by the third brother.
If it had been, she might not have believed that the third brother would use her, but after the meridians were unsealed, she realized that many things could not escape the changes of the world.
Everything she once believed in suddenly collapsed the moment she knew the truth.
