When Mu Lingzhi learned that something had happened in the palace, he rushed to the palace as soon as possible, and when he learned the cause of death of the two An families, he was also shocked!

As soon as he entered the mansion, he was surrounded by people, because Huaying had never been in charge of the affairs of the house, and he had such a lot of things at once, and although the housekeeper was old, the palace had never done a funeral before, and it was two funerals at once, and he was also at a loss, and for a time the entire palace was leaderless and chaotic. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

So when they saw him come back, everyone gathered around him to ask for all kinds of instructions.

Although Mu Lingzhi has no true feelings for An Lirong and An Lan, An Lirong was quietly admitted to the palace by his mother when he was stationed at the border pass, and An Lan even spent a lot of money to become the aunt of the palace. Just like he said to Yu Ruyan before, he only had obligations to them but had no feelings, but now that he suddenly learned of their deaths, Mu Lingzhi still avoided being sad.

While his heart was hurting, he was busy with the affairs of the palace, and it was not until lunchtime that he remembered that Yu Ruyan was obviously also in the mansion, why didn't he see her all the time?

A bad thought suddenly flashed in his heart, and he hurriedly turned around and asked Huaying, only to know that Yu Ruyan was announced into the palace by the queen mother.

His heart jumped to his throat in an instant, he couldn't care about the affairs of the mansion anymore, and left the copper coin assistant Huaying to take care of the affairs of the palace, and he turned back to the palace by himself.

He went straight to Yaohua Palace, walking in a hurry, almost rushing, for fear that he would be too late, and the queen mother had already poisoned Yu Ruyan.

The palace door of Yaohua Palace was wide open, and when he learned that Empress Xie was resting in the palace at the moment, Mu Lingzhi didn't have time to wait for the palace people to report, so he had already broken into the palace directly.

But when he went in and saw the scene in the temple, he was stunned!

In the luxurious dormitory of Yaohua Palace, Queen Xie was lying on the soft couch, Mrs. Yiqing, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, was checking her pulse, and there were two people sitting around the couch. But it's Jade Pearl and Mu Ziyue.

Seeing that there was no jade Ruyan figure in the hall, Mu Lingzhi's heart couldn't help sinking.

When everyone saw him come in, they were also slightly stunned, Mu Ziyue's eyes flashed slightly, and she stepped forward with Yu Mingzhu to greet him, but Mu Lingzhi didn't have time to pay attention to them at all, so he walked straight to Queen Xie, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Queen Mother"

"The queen mother is fine, I see that you are so anxious that your face is sweating!"

Empress Xie interrupted him at the right time.

Looking at his anxious appearance, Empress Xie certainly knew that he had heard the news and came for Yu Ruyan. But in front of so many people, she didn't want to argue with him, so she had to deliberately pretend that he was worried about herself. Come and see for yourself.

Aunt Qin on the side was also afraid that Mu Lingzhi would quarrel with the queen under unknown circumstances, so she hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Mu Lingzhi: "Your Highness, these two days have come to the day of Niangniang's poisonous hair, Mrs. Shi is checking the pulse of Niangniang, Your Highness should go outside and wait first." ”

After that, she glanced at him gently, and Mu Lingzhi was stunned when she saw it, but she still withdrew from the hall according to what she said.

Aunt Qin then followed out, and Mu Lingzhi hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Auntie, the princess was called to the palace by the queen mother?" Where is she now? ”

Seeing that he was so anxious that his face turned white. Walking too quickly and sweating profusely, Aunt Qin felt distressed and touched a handkerchief to wipe the sweat for him, her heart was sad, but she smiled lovingly on her face: "My good highness, don't worry, how can your aunt lose her words if she promised you." The princess is good, but you also know the temper of the mother, and it is inevitable that she will speak more harshly when she is angry. But I didn't embarrass the princess, and now I have sent her to your Chaoyang Palace. You don't have to worry. ”

After listening to Aunt Qin's words, Mu Lingzhi's heart that was hanging high finally fell to the ground safely, and he couldn't help but smile at Aunt Qin: "It's still my aunt who loves me the most!" ”

Seeing his happy appearance, Aunt Qin's heart became more and more sour, she lovingly helped him sort out his slightly messy hair, and said: "You are brought up by me, no matter how much Your Highness is in the mouth of an outsider, in my aunt's heart, Your Highness will always be the smartest, most well-behaved and caring Your Highness, Aunt only wishes you all the best."

Aunt Qin said movingly, Mu Lingzhi was also moved when he heard it, he smiled slowly, and said, "In my heart, my aunt will always be the best aunt." ”

Aunt Qin knew that he was anxious to see Yu Ruyan, so she said, "Your Highness, go down to see the princess, the old slave won't keep you." ”

Mu Lingzhi nodded and left, took a few steps and Aunt Qin said behind her, "Your Highness." Don't be anxious in case of trouble, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge! ”

After a pause, a trace of warmth rose in Mu Lingzhi's heart----

Recently, there have been too many things that have happened to him and Yu Ruyan, and because of these things, they have been in a voice of opposition and rejection, feeling that people all over the world have isolated the two of them, but now Aunt Qin's simple words of comfort have moved him deeply.

He stood still, turned around and nodded at Aunt Qin, and left without looking back.

In Chaoyang Palace, Yu Ruyan was busy in the small kitchen, under the guidance of Xiao Ru, the whole chicken rack with good condiments was roasted on the fire, although with Xiao Ru's help, but even roasted several without success, either roasted, or roasted and roasted the chicken into the fire, or the outside was scorched and the inside was not fully cooked.

When the fourth one failed, Xiao Ru pouted dissatisfiedly: "Sister, what's wrong with you today, you look absent-minded,

Knife, bah, it's the prince, the prince has always told me, you are a smart person, why is it such a simple roast chicken, even the prince succeeded in the third one, why does my sister keep making mistakes? ”

Yu Ruyan's eyes didn't know if they were smoked, they were always red, she smiled bitterly, looked at the roast chicken that failed again, and showed a little embarrassment on her face, but she didn't reply to Xiaoru's words, and let her complain.

turned around and went to get another chicken, and was about to start smearing salt on the chicken, but was snatched by Xiaoru. Xiao Ru shrugged her face and sighed: "Sister, it seems that you can't learn to roast chicken, or I'll help you roast it." ”

Yu Ruyan was stubborn, took the chicken back from Xiaoru's hand, and said, "I want to make a roast chicken for His Royal Highness by myself, if you do it for you, there will be no point!" ”

Xiaoru couldn't, looked at the weather, and saw that the hour was not early, so she hurriedly said: "Sister, it is estimated that it will be time for the next dynasty, and the prince is going back to the palace, so I will go back." ”

After Xiaoru left, Yu Ruyan sat alone for a long time, with a blank expression on her face, looking at the charcoal fire in the brazier in a daze, her eyes were red by the firelight

Mu Lingzhi returned to Chaoyang Palace. searched all the halls of the dormitory but didn't find Yu Ruyan, and in the end, she didn't expect her to sit alone in the kitchen in a stupid daze, and she didn't even call her back three times.

Until he stood in front of her, stretched out his hand in front of her and shook it several times, but she came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, looked at him in a daze for a long time, and smiled at him with difficulty: "Your Highness is back, I was about to make you a roast chicken!" ”

Mu Lingzhi had clearly felt that something was wrong with her expression, thinking of the matter of the palace this morning, and then remembering that the queen mother must have said something to her when she entered the palace, otherwise she would not have accepted her power in charge of the house, and called her into the palace.

The deep eyes looked at her fixedly, and a cold color flashed on Mu Lingzhi's face. He said in a deep voice: "What did the queen mother ask you to do?" But I want you to leave the beam, I want you to leave me? ”

Yu Ruyan's whole body trembled slightly, she didn't expect Mu Ling to guess her conversation with Queen Xie at a glance, but when she thought of what she was going to do next, she tried to restrain the pain in her heart, and when she raised her eyes again, the light of the flowing water was already clear, and her expression was frank and natural, she looked at him tenderly, and said: "Your Highness misunderstood, Niangniang called me just to ask about the two of An's as usual, I replied to her truthfully, and Niangniang didn't say anything more." I just said that my current identity is not suitable for me to come forward as the mistress of the palace to handle funerals, so let me temporarily hand over the power of the family to Sister Hua and let her take care of it. ”

Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi's face became more and more unsightly, and Yu Ruyan explained: "Niangniang's plan is also normal, after all, I and His Royal Highness have not officially married in the church, plus the matter of Qin Xianglou, I am still a suspect, how can I publicly come forward to deal with the affairs of the palace?" So it is reasonable for the queen to arrange Sister Hua to come forward in this matter! ”

Mu Lingzhi knew that she would not tell the truth with herself, but if she didn't say it, he couldn't guess what the queen mother said to her, so she said with a guilty face: "You will always be the one who is wronged!" ”

There were tears in her heart, but there was no wave on Yuru's face, she raised her eyebrows and happily raised the roast chicken in her hand to him, and said: "I learned to make roast chicken with Xiaoru today, Your Highness obediently went outside to wait, and when I roasted, please let Your Highness taste my craftsmanship!" ”

Mu Lingzhi looked at her smoky red eyes and the soot on her face, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "I'll roast it, look at you, you've been smoked into a flower cat face." You go wash your face, and I'll bake it for you." ”

After that, she was about to get the roast chicken in her hand, but she avoided it, Yu Ruyan said extremely seriously: "Your Highness, I have never cooked anything for you, this is one of my wishes." You let me do it myself. ”

Hearing her say this, Mu Lingzhi was no longer reluctant, but he didn't worry about letting her be alone in the kitchen, so he accompanied her to cook roast chicken.

This time, Yu Ruyan abandoned all the distractions in her heart and seriously did what Xiaoru taught her, but this time it was very successful, and after a while, a fragrant and browned roast chicken was successful.

With an excited face, she tore off a chicken leg from the roast chicken and stuffed it into Mu Lingzhi's mouth, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, try my craftsmanship and see how it tastes?" ”

Mu Lingzhi ate the chicken leg as he said, his eyes flashed brightly, and he smacked his mouth. I was very surprised: "It tastes really good, from now on, I will eat the roast chicken you made every day!" ”

Yuru Yan smiled sweetly and said, "As long as Your Highness likes it, I will make it for you every day!" ”

While the two were talking, Xiaodao heard that Yu Ruyan had entered the palace, and he also came over.

He stood outside the door, looking at the sweet appearance of the two people in the room in a daze, his eyes were deep, and his heart was full of pain.

Counting it, he hasn't seen Yu Ruyan for a long time, since the last time he said that he leaked his mouth in front of his mother, and it was revealed that he already had someone he liked, he has been restraining himself from seeing her anymore, even if Qin Xianglou had an accident, he gritted his teeth and held back the worry in his heart.

Because he understands one thing, that is, if he wants to get someone, he can't do it by staying by her side all the time, but to strengthen his own strength, have the strength to protect her, and have the strength to protect her, so that her life and death can only be controlled by herself, and others can't touch her for half a point!

During this time, Xiaodao desperately gathered strength to consolidate his position as the crown prince, he thought, only if he became the real prince, then, he could settle all the disasters she suffered, and he could wash her away from the so-called evil stars, and he would never let her be hurt in the slightest.

Yu Ruyan turned around and saw the knife outside the door, her face was red, her expression froze for a moment, and the next moment, she smiled: "The knife is here, come, try the roast chicken made by my sister!" ”

Since returning to Daliang, because of Xiaodao's status as the prince, Yu Ruyan has always respectfully called him the prince, and now he suddenly heard her call her 'Xiaodao', Xiaodao's heart was shocked, and there was a trace of sweetness. And this sweet taste made him eat the marrow and know the taste, and he was fascinated

couldn't help but step forward to pull Yu Ruyan's hand as usual, Yu Ruyan hadn't seen him for a long time, his hand hesitated for a moment in his sleeve, and finally gently stroked his soft hair, and said with concern: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and you don't go out of the palace to see my sister, how are you doing lately?" ”

The moment her palm touched his hair, the knife was like an electric shock, and he was numb, and he looked at the woman in front of him who was thinking about it day and night, and his heart throbbed

"Sister, I'm fine, how are you?" An innocent smile appeared on the knife's face again. This kind of heartfelt happiness will always only be there in front of Yu Ruyan, and other times, he is the cold prince with a cold face, who does not smile or talk, and his personality is also strange and irritable, and no one in the palace dares to offend him, and he has never seen him as innocent as a child!

Yu Ruyan smiled bitterly, and didn't answer Xiaodao's words, she thought, even if she didn't say it, he would know what happened to him, so she just barely squeezed out a smile at him, and said: "I finally entered the palace once, and today I made the roast chicken you like to eat, you and His Highness go to the palace to wait, and I will roast another one for you to send over." ”

Looking at the sour and embarrassing smile on her face, Xiaodao knew the bitterness in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and the ** who wanted to protect her well became more and more intense.

After a while, Yu Ruyan roasted another roast chicken, put it in a pot, and sent it to the side hall, cut it into pieces with a knife, and handed it to Mu Lingzhi and the knife to eat, and then. She has been chatting with Xiaodao about what happened to them in Daqi at the beginning.

Xiaodao was very happy, and Yu Ruyan's mood seemed to be getting better, and the smile kept on her face.

And Mu Lingzhi on the side watched the two talking, and always felt that today's Yu Ruyan was a little different from the past, before, because she knew the unusual feelings of Xiaodao for her, she would deliberately avoid her for a lot of time, and no longer call him 'Xiaodao', let alone caress his hair affectionately, but today

But looking at her rare happiness, he thought that maybe too much had happened to her recently. She was under too much pressure in her heart, so she began to miss the days when she was in Daqi with Xiaodao before.

Thinking like this, a trace of panic flashed in his heart inexplicably----

Could it be that she was tired of life here in Daliang and was forced to go back to Daqi?

The chicken in his hand was suddenly tasteless, more difficult to swallow than chewing wax, Mu Lingzhi's heart was empty, sitting indifferently, but his eyes were staring at Yu Ruyan for a moment, and his heart was suffocating

After the knife left, Mu Lingzhi wanted to send Yu Ruyan out of the palace and back to the palace immediately, because if he put her in the palace, although he could take a look at her when he was busy in the palace, but when he thought of the crisis she was facing, he hoped that she would be as far away from the palace as possible.

But before he could speak, Yu Ruyan seemed to see through his thoughts, and had already rushed in front of him and said: "I heard Aunt Qin say that these two days are the days of the queen's poison, and Master Yiqing has successfully refined the antidote pill for her, so I want to stay in the palace and serve the mother and do my daughter-in-law's filial piety."

"Nope." I didn't think that Mu Lingzhi had rejected her words, from the beginning, after that thought took root in his heart, he didn't have a trace of confidence in his heart, and the whole person was helpless to the point of despair----

No matter how big the crisis is in the outside world, he is not afraid, and what makes him desperate and afraid the most is that Yu Ruyan retreats. Leave him!

This thought, even if it was just his own speculation, had already made him hurt so much that his liver and intestines were broken.

He panicked and said: "The more at this time, those people are in the palace, if you are here, and I don't know what means they will use to calculate you, I will be relieved if you leave the palace!" ”

Of course, Yu Ruyan knew who he was talking about, and her face was cold, she actually stretched her face rarely, and said coldly to him: "It turns out that in the eyes of His Highness, I am such a useless person who also makes trouble for His Highness!" ”

Seeing that she was angry, Mu Lingzhi knew that his tone was a little heavier, and he couldn't help suppressing the panic in his heart. He said in a slow tone: "Yan Yan, I didn't mean that, it's just that there have been too many things in the palace recently, and I have no time to take care of you, and my father and mother just want you to be well, as long as I leave the palace and go back to the other garden, I can rest assured."

"Is the garden 100% safe? Does Your Highness want to lock me up in the other garden for the rest of my life? ”

Yu Ruyan interrupted him sharply, and as soon as the words fell, both of them were stunned.

Mu Lingzhi had never seen Yu Ruyan speak so violently, let alone her misunderstood her hard work and worry like this, such a jade Ruyan made him very strange and heartbroken.

There has always been a tacit understanding between them to the point that they can understand each other's thoughts with a single look, so Yu Ruyan's abnormality made Mu Lingzhi's heart even more flustered, and he wanted to step forward to take her hand. But she dodged away without a trace.

She turned her back to him, suppressed the cramping pain in her heart, and said in a dull voice: "Your Highness, I'm tired, go back to the room to rest first!" ”

After that, he left as if he were running away

She was able to return to the dormitory, Mu Lingzhi had already caught up, he closed the door of the palace with his backhand, and suddenly hugged Yu Ruyan, who was undressing by the bed, and pressed her under him in a blink of an eye

His hands tightened into his arms, strangling her breathlessly. The fine kisses are domineering and affectionate, overwhelming, and seem to be annihilated by Jade Ruyan

"Your Highness, hmm"

Before the words came out, he was silenced with a kiss.

A chill on the face. Yu Ruyan's whole body was shocked, and she opened her eyes in a panic----

I saw Mu Lingzhi's handsome face right in front of him, he closed his eyes tightly, but he didn't know when, he was already in tears, his long eyelashes were wet with tears, trembling slightly, tears fell, and a drop fell on her face

"Your Highness"

Unable to hold back any longer, her voice choked.

"Don't leave me---- please!" Mu Lingzhi buried his face deep in the socket of her neck, and a thick nasal voice sounded in her ears.

"Yan Yan, no matter what I did wrong, you have to forgive me. It doesn't matter what people say to you. You must remember our promise in front of the god of the hearth---- never separate, never separated. Promise me! ”

As smart as he is, he will not be able to see her abnormality today, not to mention that he has seen his mother, he knows that the queen mother must have said something to her, and she must have made a certain decision in her heart.

And this decision is to leave Daliang and leave him!

The thought of losing her made Mu Ling's heart ache, and tears poured out without even noticing

Yu Ruyan's heart was also full of tears, her heart hurt as if she had been torn into pieces, her hands involuntarily hugged him tightly, almost cutting into his flesh, and a voice in her heart said to him in pain and despair. Ling Zhi, if I did something wrong, ---- would you forgive me?

Seeing that she didn't answer him for a long time, Mu Lingzhi raised his head and looked at him fixedly, and repeated domineeringly and urgently: "Promise me!" ”

Her whole body was like falling into an ice cave, even if she was tightly held in his arms, she couldn't help but tremble all over, she didn't dare to look at his hot eyes, turned her head away slightly, gritted her teeth to suppress the tremor of her voice, and said in a trembling voice: "I promise you!" ”

After getting her answer, Mu Lingzhi's empty heart cavity filled up little by little, and the kiss fell again, as soft as a feather, gently kissing her eyes, forehead and lips

"Your Highness" Yu Ruyan suddenly spoke, her voice as light as a wisp of smoke, "Do you know what my heart's greatest wish and greatest regret are?" ”

"What wish? You say it, help your husband realize your wishes, and erase your regrets! ”

Her flowing eyes looked at the most beloved man in her life in front of her, and her heart ached to the point of suffocation. Trying to raise a smile, she reached out and gently stroked his eyebrows, her voice trembled, "I want to give birth to a child for Your Highness." This is my wish, and it is also the regret in my heart! ”

Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi was shocked, he looked at her fixedly, and said word by word: "This wish will be fulfilled for you." Let you have no regrets in this life! ”

The next moment, the red tent was churning, and a room of spring light rippled

That night, just as Mu Lingzhi was about to send Yu Ruyan out of the palace and back to the other garden, news came from Yaohua Palace that Queen Xie had been poisoned!

Everyone knows that this time, Master Yiqing brought the pills made of the blood of the jade girl to detoxify the queen, so compared to the nervousness and sadness of everyone when Queen Xie was poisoned before, this time, King Liang and they were in an urgent mood, and they all hoped that the blood of the jade girl could completely relieve the huge poison on the queen's body, so as to cut off the roots, and there would be no more torture of poisonous hair from now on.

Mu Lingzhi took Yu Ruyan and went to Yaohua Palace. When they arrived, the Yaohua Palace was already full of people, and King Liang and the crown prince were already guarding the queen's bedside.

And the queen had just taken the pill of Master Yiqing, her face was pale, and beads of sweat were rolling down her forehead, although she was not as painful as when she was poisoned before, but now she is also very uncomfortable.

King Liang saw that Yu Ruyan was also coming, his face was stunned, and the next moment he was already displeased, and said to Mu Ling coldly: "Why is she here?" ”

Mu Lingzhi was about to speak, but the queen on the bed had already spoken in a weak voice, and said: "Your Majesty, it was the concubine who asked her to come, the concubine's whole body has been very sore these days, her massage skills are good, but it has helped the concubine reduce a lot of pain!" ”

Hearing the queen say this, King Liang couldn't say anything more, so he turned around and asked the queen if she was uncomfortable?

In addition to the prince of Liang, of course, Mrs. Yiqing, who offered medicine, was indispensable in the house, as well as the 'Jade Girl' Jade Pearl Sutra and the Lord of Mingyue County, Mu Ziyue.

Yu Mingzhu and Mu Ziyue's eyes swept towards Yu Ruyan at the same time, and when they saw her and Mu Lingzhi's hands holding tightly, not only Mu Ziyue's eyes sank, but the queen's gaze also deepened.

And Master Yiqing didn't listen to anything outside the field, he just paid attention to the queen's situation, and would take her pulse once in a quarter of an hour, so that almost an hour passed, when everyone thought that Queen Xie had successfully used the blood of the jade girl to clean up the huge poison on her body, Queen Xie suddenly turned pale, 'wow', and spit out blood in a big gulp
