was thinking about it for a long time, when suddenly Yuan Bao came in from outside, rushed to Chen Yiqing and gasped: "Son, it's not good, the eldest princess heard that your leg was injured and came to visit you in the mansion. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yiqing was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he couldn't help jumping to his feet and said: "Oh, how much does this eldest princess like me, this son has rejected her so obviously, why did she come back." ”

Suddenly thinking of something, he smiled evilly, leaned on the edge of the bed, his unbroken right leg shook proudly, and said slowly: "However, if you think about it, although this eldest princess is not as charming as her sister-in-law, she also has a good skin, and it is not bad to marry her wife." The main thing—"

He glanced at Mu Lingzhi, who lowered his head to drink tea and ignored his words, and said proudly: "I'm younger than you, and I can't beat you, so I am always pressed by you, but now it's good, as long as I marry this eldest princess, do you have to call me the eldest brother-in-law with the fifth princess, tsk, just by this sentence 'eldest brother-in-law', this eldest princess has to marry." ”

"If you don't want to have both legs, you can marry that woman. However, I won't start as lightly as Chen Xiang, and I can still pick up the interruption. If I break your knees directly, the bones of your thighs will at least break into three sections, and I will definitely not be able to connect them. ”

Mu Lingzhi slowly closed the teacup, lifted his eyelids and didn't look at Chen Yiqing, who didn't look at him with a frightened look, turned back to Tong Qian and ordered: "Tell the people who escorted the sweaty BMW and let them go back, just say that General Chen's legs have become crippled, and he will not be able to ride a horse in this life." ”

"Oh, don't, don't, I'd rather have a horse than a man, if I can't ride a horse in this life, what's the fun?" Chen Yiqing hurriedly asked Yuan Bao to pull the copper coin that was going out, looked back at Mu Lingzhi with a smug face, and said bitterly: "It's really a wolf's heart, just saved you, the wolf came to bite Mr. Dongguo, ahhh......h

Mu Lingyi slashed the knife and killed it, Chen Yiqing shrunk his neck and lay on the edge of the bedpost, and said pitifully: "You have found your beloved now, but you have left me alone, it is too unreasonable, I want my Chen family to be in a single line, but because you broke the incense ......"

"When you first met me two years ago, did you want to see that cute little soldier in the barracks again?"

Chen Yiqing's face suddenly turned red when he heard this, his expression was twisted, and he was stunned for a moment before he asked anxiously: "Do you know who she is?" ”

Mu Lingzhi smiled knowingly, and said unhurriedly: "I have a cousin, eighteen years old, surnamed Xie Yuhan, named Yuhan County Lord, who doesn't love women's clothes and loves men's clothing, riding horses and archery is better than men, and two years ago he secretly mixed in my military camp with the army to catch bandits......"

"Brother-in-law!"

Before Mu Lingzhi's words were finished, Chen Yiqing's brother-in-law was already shouting!

"Why, don't you let me call your brother-in-law?"

"Brother-in-law, hurry up and help me find a way to get rid of the big Buddha outside!"

Since Mu Lingzhi heard the little palace maid say that Yu Ruyan had been before, thinking of Yu Mingzhu's bullying of Yu Ruyan all along, he was already extremely disgusted with this eldest princess in his heart, if she was made Chen Yiqing's wife, I was afraid that he and he would not even be able to be brothers, so he couldn't help but say coldly: "Since she likes to take the initiative to post up, you might as well let her stay here and take care of you, so that she can see your 'true face', if you let her know that the person she wants to marry is... Cough! ”

"Poof......" Before he could speak, Chen Yiqing already understood what he meant, and couldn't help laughing, he pointed to Mu Lingdao with a serious face: "Tsk, my good girl, I really didn't expect you to think of the loss of the trick to be more immoral than me." However, it works, and I like it! ”

After Yu Mingzhu learned Chen Xiang's intentions, she gritted her teeth again and lowered her face to find Chen Yiqing, just because, no matter what, she couldn't lose to Yu Ruyan!

Now, whether she can take down Chen Yiqing In her opinion, it is not just as simple as finding a good horse, but the war between her and Yu Ruyan!

Yesterday, I was slapped by Yu Ruyan, and my face was swollen, and it took an ice pack to subside after applying an ice pack overnight. Yu Mingzhu deliberately made a simple and concise distinction this time, changed the previous luxury, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion with apprehension, and then he didn't expect that this time Chen Yiqing actually limped to the gate of the courtyard in person, and respectfully invited Yu Mingzhu into his courtyard.

His sudden change flattered Yu Mingzhu, and the second elder of the Chen family was even more pleased, and Chen Xiang unanimously felt that his stick was really useful.

Chen Xiang and his wife sent the jade pearl to the gate of the courtyard and retreated with interest, hoping that the relationship between the two would deepen day by day after they got along alone, and finally they would forget about the fifth princess and willingly marry the eldest princess into the door.

However, Yu Mingzhu happily followed Chen Yiqing into the house, and returned to the palace with a gloomy face in less than an hour, and ran to King Qi to cry after returning to the palace, saying that he could not marry Chen Yiqing no matter what, so that King Qi refused Chen Xiang's marriage.

King Qi and Concubine Lian were confused, and they didn't understand why she wanted to marry Chen Yiqing and wanted to withdraw from the marriage after going to Chen's mansion.

However, no matter how King Qi and Concubine Lian asked, Yu Mingzhu just gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, only saying that she and Chen Yiqing had no fate and couldn't be husband and wife.

When she returned to Chunlan Palace, Concubine Lian withdrew all the palace talents and asked Yu Mingzhu what was going on behind closed doors?

I couldn't say the grievances in my heart, but now when I saw my mother asking, Yu Mingzhu couldn't help crying 'wow' anymore.

"Mother, that General Chen...... General Chen turned out to be a broken sleeve! ”

"What is a broken sleeve?" Concubine Lian, like Jade Mingzhu, didn't understand what the broken sleeve meant when she heard it.

"Mother, broken sleeves...... The broken sleeve is that General Chen doesn't love women...... Love men! Yu Mingzhu remembered what Chen Yiqing said and everything she saw after entering the house, and her heart was cold.

It turned out that after Yu Mingzhu entered the house with Chen Yiqing, she wanted to have a good chat with him to deepen her relationship, but she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the house, there were other people in the house.

If it was just a servant girl, but the other three people in his room were all men, and they were all dressed in red and green, each more enchanting than the other.

One sat in front of the bronze mirror to draw makeup, and the other pasted it when he saw Chen Yiqing, and the handsome boy who had eaten with her at the table last time was even more leisurely lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

"Princess, please be seated."

Before Yu Mingzhu could recover from the shock, Chen Yiqing's 'sister' gave her goosebumps all over her body, and she turned around and asked ignorantly, "What do you call Princess Ben?" ”

"Sister, in my eyes, you are like my own sister, I am my sister and you are my sister!" Chen Yiqing's charming peach blossom eyes kept blinking, looking at Yu Mingzhu's ignorant appearance, the more she didn't understand, and finally sighed heavily and said, "Does the princess know the habit of breaking sleeves?" ”

The princess who grew up in the deep palace of Yumingzhu heard such a thing there, shook her head dumbfounded, looking at her confused appearance, Chen Yiqing said bitterly: "I don't hide it from the princess, Weichen is a seven-foot man on the outside, but he has a woman's heart in his heart, so what I like is a man, and I need a man's care and love like a princess." For women, it is the same as sisters, so if the princess really wants to marry me, but she has to endure the pain of staying alone in the empty room day and night, year after year, I will give you a husband and wife name, and the husband and wife really can't give it. Princess, have you thought about it? ”

Yu Mingzhu couldn't believe her ears, she lived so big, it was the first time she heard that a man liked a man, and she couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Looking at the four enchanting men in the room dumbfounded, Yu Mingzhu felt uncomfortable and nauseous, but the next moment she couldn't support it anymore and went back to the palace as if she had fled.

When she told Concubine Lian about this, Concubine Lian was also shocked, and said incredulously: "How could it be, such a good man is ...... Alas. If you like a man, how can you marry a wife? ”

But Concubine Lian thought about it for a while, and said, "No, since he doesn't like women, why did he suddenly think of marrying that slut yesterday?" ”

Yu Mingzhu felt more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis, and said sadly: "It is precisely because he likes men, but he can't resist Chen Xiang's urging him to get married and have children, that he thinks of marrying that slut and going back to hide people's eyes, anyway, there will be no husband and wife, even if she is no longer innocent, he doesn't mind." ”

When she woke up, Yu Ruyan felt in a trance that there was a very faint smell of ambergris in the room, she suddenly opened her eyes, and when she saw the person next to the bed, she was stunned at first, and a faint disappointment emerged in her eyes-

It must have been his own dream again, how could he come here!

The next second, she sat up and took the young man's hand and said in surprise: "Xiaodao, why did you enter the palace?" When did it come, but it could be revealed? ”

The flickering loss in her eyes did not escape the eyes of the knife, his expression darkened slightly, and he just wanted to tell her that he had come last night, but when the words came to his mouth, he just said softly: "In the morning, I will go into the city with the master in the temple to buy food, I ...... I just stopped by to see my sister. ”

In fact, Xiaodao has been in the city for two days, and he didn't want to venture in to see her, but after hearing about Chen Yiqing on the street yesterday, he learned that Yu Ruyan was married again, and he couldn't help sneaking in anymore, but ......

Thinking of Mu Lingzhi who had been guarding in front of the window all night, Yu Xiaodao's heart was uncomfortable and remorseful, he hated himself Why did he think of everything, remembering that he was Mu Chenzhi, his younger brother......

In this way, how can he compete with him for Jade Ruyan!

He can compete with people all over the world for Jade Ruyan without any scruples, but he can't compete with Mu Lingzhi, because that is his elder brother and someone he respects equally.

He knew that his feelings for Yu Ruyan really shouldn't be, because she was already a woman who was her brother, and if he didn't let go, it would be a love affair that violated the theory of people, and he couldn't have bad intentions towards his sister-in-law anymore......

He obviously understands these truths, but as soon as he sees Yu Ruyan, as soon as he sees her warm eyes, the jade knife can't stop sinking, and he is paranoid that he likes Yu Ruyan first, not that he is robbing his brother, but Mu Lingzhi robbing his beloved woman......

He also deceived himself into thinking that as long as he was a knife and not Mu Chenzhi one day, he had the right to continue to like Yu Ruyan, so even though he knew his identity when he was in Daliang, he didn't go to Xie Guifei to recognize his mother. Even though his own brother had stood in front of him all night last night, he was still reluctant to go out and meet him......

But no matter how many tens of thousands of excuses he found to continue to like Yu Ruyan, he still hid the guilt deep in his heart or deeply pierced his heart, making him ashamed to the point of shame......

He buried his face deep in Yu Ruyan's shoulders as usual, desperately absorbing the body fragrance on her body, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister, I heard that the Dog Emperor is going to marry you again, sister, you come with me, I will take you out of the palace now." ”

Thinking that Mu Lingzhi already knew Yu Ruyan's identity, Xiaodao knew that he would definitely find a way to let her return to him again, so he was eager to take her away.

Yu Ruyan still coaxed him like a child, and said softly: "You don't have to worry about my sister, my sister has already figured out a way, just wait for the birthday of the Queen Mother the day after tomorrow, I will take Brother An to quietly leave the palace to find you, and never come back." ”

When Xiaodao heard her words, he was very anxious but he couldn't say anything, afraid that if he was too anxious to urge her, she would be suspicious.

Brother An came in from the outside and was very surprised when he saw the knife, fortunately, the two little girls outside were borrowed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help Yanghua Palace because of the Queen Mother's birthday, and they were not in the palace.

With breakfast in her hand, she went to help Yu Ruyan get up, and beckoned the knife to have breakfast together, but when she saw that he was still lying on Yu Ruyan's body and refused to get up, Brother An couldn't help laughing: "Little knife, although I don't know what year and month you were born, but look at your size should not be far from my age, it is estimated that you are fifteen or sixteen years old, and the young men of ordinary people's families should marry and start a family at this age, you can no longer stick to the princess like this every day, which makes your future little lady know, maybe how to be jealous!" ”

Brother An laughed and laughed, and Yu Ruyan heard her say this, and also joked to Xiaodao: "Yes, you are a big man, you can't just think about mixing with your sister and Brother An in the future, you have to think about how to start a family, and my sister is still looking forward to you marrying a beautiful little daughter-in-law and giving birth to a bunch of small knives." ”

"Smack!" Xiaodao had just sat down at the table, and when he heard Yu Ruyan's words, he suddenly angrily folded the chopsticks in his hand into two, and said angrily: "Who said that I must marry a daughter-in-law, how many times have I said it, I am only with my sister in this life, and I don't want to go there, let alone marry my own son." Don't laugh at me again. ”

Yu Ruyan was stunned, thinking that Xiaodao must have misunderstood that she didn't want him, she knew that Xiaodao's heart had always been insecure, so she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him and said: "Fool, why are you angry at all jokes, and my sister didn't say that she wanted to part with you......"

Seeing him hanging his head and looking annoyed, Yu Ruyan couldn't bear to say anything more about him, but just asked him with concern, how he was doing in the temple, was he lonely. When I saw his ruddy face, I couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "I didn't expect you to take good care of yourself, I was worried every day that you would lose weight if you followed the masters to eat vegetarian food, but I didn't expect you to be fatter than when you were in the palace, and your complexion is also good, so I can rest assured." ”

Xiao Daojun's face flushed, and he suddenly remembered something, his expression flashed a little awkward, and he buried his head lower.

After breakfast, Yu Ruyan urged him to leave the palace, Xiao Dao looked at Yu Ruyan reluctantly, and finally told Brother An over and over again, saying that summer is coming, snakes, insects, rats and ants are beginning to infest, so that Brother An must close the doors and windows of Yu Ruyan's bedroom firmly before going to bed, and never relax.

And Chen Xiangfu, after successfully sending away the big Buddha of Jade Mingzhu, Chen Yiqing felt relaxed all over, and he had no scruples in his heart, and was about to pull Mu Lingzhi to ask him about Xie Yuhan with great interest, but saw Mu Lingzhi quickly take off the turquoise clothes on his body, return them to him in disgust, and beckoned to call the copper coin to go out.

Chen Yiqing was so bored staying in the house alone, he was thinking about letting him talk to him, if he didn't want to talk and play chess with him, it would be good, but now seeing that he was leaving, he hurriedly stopped him and pretended to be pitiful and said: "For the sake of my injury, you don't accompany me much." ”

Mu Lingzhi didn't bother to pay attention to him: "If you want someone to accompany you, I can call you all the girls in the Wanhualou in Kyoto." I have urgent matters to do, so I will not accompany them. ”

"Ah, do you want to kill me by calling the girl now, let my father know first, he will definitely break my other leg, and those girls will also be thrown into the pool in the backyard by him one by one, just said that I finally bluffed away Yu Mingzhu, let her know that I turned around to call a prostitute, and I have to run to let me marry her, really...... Now that you've found her, and you've been with her for one night, what else is there to do? ”

Mu Lingzhi looked back at his pitiful appearance, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Didn't I tell you before that I had a younger brother who was killed three years ago, but now someone sees him alive in the world and ...... And has been following the five princesses, but recently left the palace, I heard from the palace people, the five princesses have been living in Putuo Temple when they were young, so I want to go to Putuo Temple. You have a good rest, wait for me to find the eighth brother, and bring him back to drink with you!" ”

Hearing him say this, Chen Yiqing no longer relied on his cheeks to keep him, but hated that his leg injury was not healed, otherwise he could accompany him to Putuo Temple and meet the rumored Eighth Prince of Daliang as soon as possible!

Xiaodao didn't know that Mu Lingzhi came to Qi Country not only to find Yu Ruyan, but also to take him back by his father, the emperor and the princess.

As soon as he returned to the gate of the temple, he heard the little monk in the temple running to tell him that there were two benefactors waiting for him in his house for a long time.

He was shocked, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked the little monk about the voice and appearance of the visitor, and after hearing the description of the little monk, his heart sank down with a "groan", and he didn't think about it, so he asked the little monk to say that he didn't see him come back, turned around and walked towards Kyoto.

After taking a few steps, he couldn't help but feel sour and uncomfortable in his heart-

When he was a child, his favorite thing to do was to follow Mu Lingzhi's later, learn horseback riding and archery with him and learn martial arts, from childhood to adulthood, his brother was obedient to him, he was used to everything, and he did wrong things and let his brother help him to be punished, but now, will he let himself return Yu Ruyan to him?

Xiaodao's heart was painful and chaotic, he knew very well in his heart that his brother could give him anything, even if it was the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of Daliang, he could give it to himself, but the jade was like a face, he would definitely not give in, just like himself.

The knife quietly went back to the back of his house from the back hill, hiding from a distance and watching the people in the house.

I saw Mu Lingzhi sitting on the edge of his bed, looking at the simple furnishings in the house one by one, with a heartache on his face, and kept asking the master in the courtyard something, as if he was inquiring about his news.

The jade knife outside the house felt sour in his heart, he wanted to enter the house and recognize his brother, but when he thought of Yu Ruyan, he ruthlessly let Mu Lingzhi wait anxiously in the house.

And Mu Lingzhi in the house was also sad, looking at the simple furnishings in the house, the desolation and silence around him, thinking that Chenzhi had been dressed and eaten from childhood to adulthood, and he liked to be lively, he would never live alone, but he still lived such a hard life.

Yu Xiaodao was kicked out of the palace and left Yu Ruyan's side, because Mu Lingzhidu heard what the little palace maid said, so he was even more guilty and sad-

Yu Ruyan has been by his side for so long, he didn't even show a knife, if he had known all this earlier, Yu Ruyan would not have left him, and the two brothers had already gathered around, so as not to suffer so much in the morning......

It wasn't until the sun set, Mu Lingzhi, who had waited for a day, left the temple and went back, and before leaving, he wrote a letter to the monk in the temple and handed it to Xiaodao, so that he could see that he had left a letter to find him in Chen Xiangfu, and he left quickly.

Seeing that he was gone, the knife outside the house silently turned around and walked out, and unconsciously walked to a small farmhouse under the temple, hesitated for a moment but pushed open the wooden door and entered, jumped into the kitchen through the window, and fell asleep by the stove......

The horse hurried back to Kyoto, Mu Lingzhi asked the copper coin to go back to the Chen Mansion to rest, and turned around and went to the palace.

Seeing that he hadn't closed his eyes for a moment since yesterday, and hadn't eaten anything, Tong Qian couldn't help but want to persuade him to go back to rest, but he didn't have time to speak, Mu Lingzhi couldn't wait to enter the palace.

He came to the Hibiscus Sakura Palace familiarly, it was still early, the jade Ruyan in the hall had not fallen asleep, he didn't dare to get too close, so he had to jump on the eaves to take a piece of tile on the roof, and carefully looked at the jade Ruyan below from the crack in the tile.

However, the sky is not beautiful, and it rained heavily after a while, Mu Lingzhi was afraid that the rain would pour in from the gaping tiles, so he had to reluctantly cover the tiles, and waited on the eaves in the rain, hoping that the lights would be extinguished below before daring to go down.

Finally, in the middle of the night, everyone in the palace fell asleep, Mu Lingzhi jumped off the eaves, and was about to take a good look at Yu Ruyan, and couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that after listening to the instructions of the knife, coupled with the fact that he didn't believe the two little girls in the yard, Brother An really closed the doors and windows tightly, and didn't leave him a single crack.

He really wanted to open the door and go in, but he also knew that Yu Ruyan was awake from a shallow sleep, and if he alarmed her, how would he face her?

Before thinking about how to make amends, Mu Lingzhi didn't dare to appear in front of her.

I don't know why, the third prince of Daliang, who has always been confident and invincible, cowered for the first time, and in front of her, he didn't have a trace of courage, only dared to look at her secretly......

In desperation, Mu Lingzhi jumped onto the eaves again, but was suddenly startled-

I don't know when, there was a silent person on the eaves, and the mask with a cold light on his face was the mask assassin who had fought him many times in the beam!
