Looking at the man in front of her, Yu Ruyan was stunned and couldn't help but be stunned.

Once when she first married Daliang and was trapped in the barracks later, this face would appear in many sad dreams, but as time went by, his appearance in his heart became lighter and thinner, like the green smoke and mist rising from the morning sun in the valley of the barracks, and gradually dispersed as soon as the wind blew......

The gentle and down-to-earth man in front of him was none other than Shangguan Xianzhong, the son of Shangshu, and the man Yu Ruyan liked when she was emotionally active for the first time, but unfortunately he didn't like her......

I still remember that when I first met him at the age of thirteen, she was also in this imperial garden, but she was very embarrassed at that time, and was tricked very badly by Yu Mingzhu leading other princesses, and her face was full of ghost charms with black ink.

However, at this time, Shangguan Xianzhong passed by the garden, saw her describe it like this, and didn't know that she was a princess, and thought she was a little girl in the palace, and saw that she was pitiful, so he gave her the handkerchief on his body......

Later, in contact again and again, he always gave people a very warm feeling, spoke softly, and spoke softly, at first Yu Ruyan thought that he was just gentle with her, but he didn't expect that his warmth was like the sun, and it was warm to everyone, not just a hand warmer for her.

Moreover, when she knew that she was going to be married, she had mustered all the courage to go to him, hoping that he would marry her or take her away, but the words that came out of his mouth at that time were extremely hurtful.

He looked at her with pity and said slowly: "I'm sorry princess, my subordinates may have done something that made you misunderstand, and what my subordinates have always admired in their hearts is... It's the eldest princess, and I only treat you as a sister······"

She once thought that the cruel words that Jade Mingzhu had said to her were the most vicious words in the world, but until this moment, she knew that the real cruelty gave you endless hope, and in the end, she understated it and shattered it......

Since being rejected in person, Yu Ruyan has been avoiding Shangguan Xianzhong, but things have changed, and now he can no longer leave a shadow in her heart, and she is also relieved.

Thinking of the rumors, Yu Ruyan smiled politely and said, "Congratulations to Lord Shangguan, you are about to marry the fourth emperor sister and become the four horses, which is really gratifying!" ”

Looking at the generous jade Ruyan, Shangguan Xianzhong's face flashed with surprise.

I haven't seen her for a year, and her appearance has obviously not changed at all, but in his eyes, there are too many differences-

She is no longer a timid girl who can only hide, now she seems to be casual, but the tenacity hidden in her every move, just like the plum in winter, the flowers on the branches are delicate, but the tenacity and unyielding in the bones are more convincing, blooming in the snow, becoming a rare and unique beauty in winter.

And before entering the palace, he also heard about her Dadou Lian Guifei, and he couldn't believe that she did all this.

The sound of 'four horses' in her mouth made Shangguan Xianzhong's face darken.

Everyone knows that among the princesses, the fourth princess Yu Huaizhu has the most violent temper, and she will open her mouth to scold people when she doesn't get along, and it is precisely because of her temperament that King Qi will marry her to Shangguan Xianzhong, who has the best temperament in Kyoto, hoping that this fire and warmth can get along well.

The saint gave him a marriage and didn't dare to resist it, but in his heart, he wanted to marry the gentle and generous eldest princess, but now he wanted to marry a fourth princess with such a temperament and enter the house, Shangguan Xianzhong couldn't help but feel miserable in his heart.

Seeing the jade Ruyan with outstanding temperament and scorching beauty, Shangguan Xian had mixed tastes when he focused on it, and said: "Yan'er still hates me in his heart? In fact, back then......"

Looking at his current appearance, Yu Ruyan inexplicably gave birth to a few feelings of disgust, and when she said goodbye, she would rather him be as ruthless and resolute as he was when he rejected her, rather than be so meaningless and intimate.

She said coldly: "Yan'er's call is just a title when I was young, and now that you have become my fourth sister's concubine, you should call me the fifth princess." With that, she didn't want to linger any longer, and walked past him.

Shangguan Xianzhong's heart tightened, looking at her beautiful appearance like the most delicate March peach blossom in the bright sun, he couldn't help but feel a flutter, thinking of her current situation, he couldn't help but catch up and said: "I've heard about you, you ...... It's embarrassing for you to stay in the palace now, so it's better to ...... Why don't I go and ask the emperor to marry you to me as a wife, after all, there is only one lady, and I won't mind what happened to you before......"

"I mind!" Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's footsteps froze, and she looked back at the man in front of her angrily, no longer wanting to maintain a superficial politeness with him, and said coldly: "I originally heard from the palace people that you are usually very afraid of the fourth sister, but I didn't expect that the fourth sister has not yet married you to Shangshu Mansion, so you have the idea of taking a concubine." ”

The more angry she became, Yu Ruyan sneered: "From the moment you told me that you liked Yu Mingzhu, I was dead to you, not because you liked her and I was jealous, but I finally understood what kind of character you are, you look up to her, indicating that you have the same smell as her, so I really thank you for your refusal back then." ”

"Although I am embarrassed now, it will never be your turn to be pitiful." After that, he ignored him again, walked forward, and did not forget to instruct before leaving: "The next time you see this princess, remember to salute and greet her." ”

Shangguan Xianzhong stood in place with a black face, and couldn't help but be stunned!

Yu Ruyan began to secretly investigate the jade girl and rumors in the palace.

She asked Brother An to go to the place where he had nothing to do with those old palace maids, chatting with the people in the old palace, and listening to their tones, while she herself rarely took the initiative to walk into the palace of other concubines in the palace to ask them for clues about the jade maids, and even she didn't let go of the cold palace, but after being busy for several days, the news she got was that no one knew that the real jade girl was the one among the princesses, and she still didn't achieve anything.

In the end, she could only put all her hopes on Wu Zhaoyi, hoping that she could help her ask who the real jade girl was from the mouth of King Qi?

Yu Ruyan spent all her efforts in the palace of King Qi to find the jade girl and the truth of the rumors, and on the other side, in Daliang, Mu Lingzhi almost dug the entire eastern capital three feet into the ground in order to find her and the knife-

Although the evidence of Yu Ruyan's accomplices with the assassin is conclusive, in Mu Lingzhi's heart, no matter what identity she hides by her side, he can think of the bits and pieces between the two, and the true feelings revealed to him in her eyes, he believes that he will not be mistaken, she really loves him after all.

But during the chess competition that day, he saw her and Yue Yu go into pairs, and Mu Lingzhi's heart sank into the ice cave and never floated again......

In order to protect her, I had to let her go, but I didn't expect to turn around and go to someone else's man......

Thinking of her snuggling up to Yue Yu that day, his heart was full of pain, this pain tormented him day and night, and in less than half a month, he had lost more than half of his weight, and his heart was like ashes!

It wasn't until he heard the news that his younger brother Mu Chenzhi was still alive that his dead heart was rekindled!

When Mu Xiang told him that the emperor's younger brother Mu Chenzhi was still alive, Mu Lingzhi was not only surprised, but a pair of obsidian-like familiar eyes flashed in his mind, and he immediately thought of the purple-clothed young assassin who broke into the palace and took away Yu Ruyan, and his heart suddenly became clear.

No wonder he felt unusually familiar with those eyes at the time, but he didn't have time to think too much in the urgency of the situation. Unexpectedly, the young man who was full of murderous aura with a sword against him turned out to be his younger brother Mu Chenzhi, who he brought up since childhood!

However, what he didn't expect was that his younger brother had been following Yu Ruyan's side and calling her 'sister'?

But she is obviously just a little slave in Qi Kingdom, how did Chenzhi get involved with her? Why didn't you go to the palace to find your mother as if you didn't know him? is even more for her to hold Xiaoyue hostage, pointing the sword at herself.

Xiao Yue is his favorite big sister, but he didn't hesitate to press the blade on her neck, and he was not ruthless to himself at all, as if he could give up the world for her!

In the past three years, what has happened to Chenzhi, and what is the identity of Yu Ruyan? What is her relationship to the Silver Mask Assassin?

The mystery in his heart is getting bigger and bigger, and a thought strongly emerges in his heart, that is, Yu Ruyan has a secret to hide from herself, as long as she and Chenzhi are found, and the secret on her body is unlocked, when all the truth is revealed, she can return to her again.

He even excitedly thought that if it was really Yu Ruyan who saved the eighth brother, then the father and the princess would definitely not care about her background anymore when they saw this kindness, nor would they investigate her involvement with the assassin, and agreed that she would return to him......

So everything right now is to find Yu Ruyan and Mu Chenzhi!

He went out early and returned late every day with his subordinates to look for a knife and jade Ruyan in the eastern capital, but more than ten days have passed, and the entire eastern capital has almost been turned over by him, but there is no figure of them, he has doubted whether they left the eastern capital and returned to Qi, but there is no trace of them leaving the city at the city gate, where did they go?

He went out to look for it every day with hope, but he was always disappointed, and more and more losses surged in his heart, but the thoughts of Yu Ruyan were strong every second, under every tree in Yunsong Courtyard, every room, and every place had her shadow, and he ignored the persuasion of the An family, insisted on sleeping in Yu Ruyan's small bungalow every night, and the crazy miss for her in his heart made him like tormented on the fire......

In the end, he decided to look for him!

The early morning light was shallow in the backyard of the hospital, a flock of pigeons were pecking at the corn kernels on the ground under the delicate bamboo, and after Yue Yu finished scattering the last handful of food in his hand, a gray pigeon just passed through the bamboo forest and landed on his shoulder.

He looked happy, took the pigeon in his hand and stroked it a few times, and said with a light smile: "You are still the most punctual!" ”

The pigeon had a small cylinder on its leg, and Yue Yu skillfully took out a note from it, and when he saw the words on it, his brow furrowed, but in a second he wrinkled even tighter.

He guessed that she must have gone back to Qi to find the real jade girl, but he didn't expect that she was still investigating the black hand that spread rumors and slandered her in the first place!

After a long time, he took the written note and stuffed it into the cylinder, and was about to release the pigeons, when suddenly the bamboo door in the backyard was pushed open, startling the pigeons all over the place.

Qingcha walked in quickly with a panicked face, and said with a slightly surprised expression: "Childe, the third prince is here and is waiting outside." ”

Yue Yu's expression was slightly stunned, and the next moment he said with a clear face: "He finally came to the door!" ”

In the simple courtyard of the front yard, Mu Lingzhi stood quietly with his hands down. Yue Yu came out of the backyard and said with an indifferent smile: "Your Highness came to the house so early, but where is it uncomfortable?" ”

Mu Lingzhi smiled lightly and said lightly: "Isn't the Yue Boss earlier than me?" ”

He swept his eyes lightly around Wuwei Hospital, and said in a light tone: "Everyone says that the famous Yue Boss is a very powerful mysterious person in business, but I never expected that the real Yue Boss is a kind person who is charitable and charitable." ”

"Your Highness came here early in the morning, did you come to praise the grass people?" Yue Yu smiled slowly and ordered the tea to be served.

"This palace is not to see a doctor, this palace wants to inquire about the two people from the Yue family." Mu Lingzhi's deep phoenix eyes looked at him fixedly, and Yue Yu didn't ask him who he wanted to inquire about, but only replied: "Your Highness, the grass people are here to treat the poor people, and they don't provide search services. ”

Seeing that he rejected himself so quickly, Mu Lingzhi smiled indifferently, he bowed to him and said: "Last time the chess competition was not compared with the Yue master, next time, we still bet, this palace hopes to finish the unfinished endgame." With that, he turned around and left with the copper coin.

Turning over the horse, Tong Qian said angrily: "Your Highness, let's come here early in the morning, but I didn't expect to get any clues......

"Don't be wordy, you go back to the house to pack your luggage, and I will go to the palace to bid farewell to my father, the queen and the concubine."

Seeing Mu Lingzhi rushing forward quickly, and the expression on his face was also rare joy and excitement, Tong Qian couldn't help but be surprised, and couldn't help but hit the horse to catch up and asked, "Is Your Highness going far away?" Aren't you looking for His Royal Highness the Eighth and Miss Xiaoqing? ”

The mood that has been suppressed for so long is the happiest today, Mu Lingzhi couldn't help but turn around and knock on his brain, and said in disgust: "It's a shame that you have been with me for so many years, I don't see your brain grow a point, if I am as stupid as you, I would rather reincarnate again and change to a smarter brain." Gee! It's also a shame that I don't dislike you and let you stay by your side. ”

The copper coin was knocked by him, and he hugged his forehead and said aggrievedly: "Master, where am I stupid, obviously the Yue master didn't say anything!" ”

A bright light flashed in his deep eyes, and Mu Lingzhi's hatred was not made of steel: "Didn't you see the flock of pigeons flying in the backyard just now?" The other pigeons were flying around foraging, except for the gray pigeon, which flew straight to the east. To the east is the country of Qi, and Xiaoqing is a native of the country of Qi. She didn't know how to get out of the city and go back to Qi country. Speaking of this, Mu Lingzhi's face showed deep doubt.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate first got the strict order of the Prime Minister's Mansion to search Yu Ruyan, and later got the strict order of the father to check the people who entered and exited the city gate one by one, and the leader who led the troops to search was Deputy General Zhu, who was the most rigorous under him, and he was the most serious and serious in doing things, and he was guarding the city gate, so Mu Lingzhi never suspected Yu Ruyan and they quietly went out of the city.

Hearing him say this, Tong Qian muttered disapprerovingly: "Just a carrier pigeon can't explain anything, the Yue family's business is all over the world, maybe it's just that he gives business instructions to his subordinates in other countries......"

"Smack!" His forehead was knocked again, and Mu Ling said: "That little guy opened the door to see us entering, and his body involuntarily blocked the bamboo door leading to the backyard, obviously afraid that we would break into the backyard and see some secrets, if it was just a matter of the Yue family's business, what was there to be afraid of being revealed by me?" Now that the whole city knows that I am looking for someone, the panicked look on his face clearly knows that what his master is dealing with is exactly what I need to know! ”

Hearing his words, the copper coin suddenly came to a trance, and his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but admire: "Sure enough, it is still His Highness's interest!" ”

Watching the copper coin leave, he didn't forget to remind: "Remember to bring the portrait of the dark grid in my study!" ”

After Mu Lingzhi left the medical hall, Yue Yu's face suddenly darkened, and he sat under the eaves decadently, his expression was depressed like never before, and his clear eyes darkened, losing the slightest brilliance.

Seeing him suddenly like this, Qingcha was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Childe, but it's uncomfortable there?" Pain in the heart again? ”

Yue Yu waved his hand weakly at him, and said with a wry smile: "Qingcha, I-regret it!" ”

His sudden words made Qingcha not react for a long time, and when he saw the remorseful look on his face, Qingcha suddenly came into a trance, his face was shocked, and he said in a daze: "Childe is talking ......"

Qingcha didn't finish the following words, but his expression became serious, and Yue Yu seemed to be deep in thought......

After a long time, he said to Qingcha in a deep voice: "Tell all the stewards and shopkeepers of Daliang that they have dealt with their respective properties in the near future, and the Yue family is not allowed to leave a field or a shop in Daliang." ”

Qingcha's whole body was shocked, he looked at him incredulously, and said in shock: "Master, this is an industry that you have spent many years of hard work to build, are you ......?"

As if knowing what he was going to persuade himself, Yue Yu looked up at the blue sky above him in a daze, and said with difficulty: "I'm tired, I want to forget everything, I want to go to Qi Country to find her, I want to ...... Make amends for everything you owe her! ”

……

Mu Lingzhi officially asked King Liang and the concubine for his life, and went to Qi to find the eighth brother Mu Chenzhi in person, and by the way, he went to find out if there was really a rumored jade girl in Qi who could cure all kinds of poisons!

After getting the permission of King Liang and the concubine, Mu Lingzhi didn't stop for half a moment, and didn't even go back to the palace, and went directly to the country of Qi with the copper coins. Looking at the joy on his face, he felt that the cool winter in his heart had finally dissipated and ushered in the spring flowers, Tong Qian couldn't help but be happy for him in his heart, but he deliberately joked disapprovingly: "Looking at the happy look of the master, it's not like it's because I'm going to pick up the Eighth Prince, I'm afraid it's more because I'm happy to see Miss Xiaoqing!" ”

Mu Lingzhi noticed that the knife flew over and scared the copper coin straight up, thinking that he had annoyed him by saying the wrong thing, but he shrank his neck in fear and was about to plead guilty, but Mu Lingzhi turned around and patted his head, and said seriously: "Yes, my eyesight has grown a lot better now than before." ”

After receiving his praise, Tong Qian raised his eyebrows and said with a mouthful: "But His Royal Highness has written a farewell letter to the girl, and now he is looking for her again, is it appropriate?" ”

Mu Lingzhi remembered that he was coerced by his younger brother that day, and he was angry and funny, and couldn't help laughing: "Since you know that the assassin is that stinky boy in Chenzhi, do you think what he said will still be counted in this palace?" ”

Tong Qian couldn't help but be happy, but remembering that he had just returned to the house to inform Concubine An that His Royal Highness was going out, he looked pitiful with a lifeless face crying one by one, and couldn't help but say: "Master, don't you really go back to the house to take a look at Master An?" I heard that today is the birthday of Concubine An, and I am looking forward to your return to celebrate your birthday! ”

With a stunned expression, the reins in Mu Lingzhi's hand slowed down unconsciously.

Half a moment later, he said slowly: "I have made up my mind, this time I will take Xiaoqing back, I will take her to live in another garden, and the palace will be left to the An family." I can't share my feelings with each of them, and I can't drive them out of the palace, I can only let them live in the palace in peace, and keep them food and clothing worry-free, and other ......"

He couldn't help but sigh, this sigh contained a lot of helplessness, of course, Tong Qian knew him best, and he didn't persuade him, nodded heavily, and sighed: "No wonder His Highness suddenly asked people to renovate the house in the other garden a few days ago, and planted all the gardens inside with the rose mountain jasmine that Miss Xiaoqing likes, it turned out that His Royal Highness had already decided to arrange it." ”

The master and servant were in a good mood and drove their horses forward, but they didn't expect to be stopped by the people in front of them as soon as they left the city gate.

I saw Mu Ziyue dressed in red, delicate and beautiful, just like when she took him into the city a year ago, the only difference was that her face was covered with a light veil, and she only showed a pair of prickly apricot eyes looking at him obsessively.

In just a few days, she has lost a lot of weight, and under a closer look, there is deep resentment in her obsessive eyes.

She pulled the horse in front of him and said quietly, "Where is Your Highness going?" Are you looking for her? ”

I don't know when it started, she didn't call him Ling Zhi but called him His Royal Highness.

She loved and hated him in her heart. Thinking that he gave up himself for another woman, she hated him, but as soon as she saw him, his eyebrows, eyes and posture made her love and obsession crazy, and the interweaving of love and hate made her extremely painful......

So much indignation and pain finally turned into monstrous hatred and was recorded on Yu Ruyan, so when she learned that Mu Lingzhi was going to Qi Country to find him, she knew that she had no position to stop him now, but she still couldn't help but stop in front of him, and the hot tears seemed to burn her heart.

"You...... Are you starting to dislike me too? She gritted her teeth and asked the suspicion and panic in her heart.

"It's not!"

"In that case, why don't you go and plead with your father, if you insist on marrying me, who dares to stop you!" She frantically pulled off her veil and looked at Mu Ling, who had an indifferent face, and couldn't help but roar-

"Are you still going to lie to me now, your heart and mind are all about that slut."

"You can say goodbye to my marriage contract with you, but you have also written a farewell letter with her, why do you still go to her? Is it because she doesn't want to marry me!? ”

Under the bright sun, Mu Ziyue's face was distorted and terrifying, and her voice was no longer as crisp and sweet as before, and her angry and crazy description scared the copper coin so much that she couldn't help but take a step back.

Mu Lingyi looked at her calmly, for a long time, until the tears on Mu Ziyue's face were dry, and then he heard him say indifferently: "I don't marry you, first, my father, the emperor and the mother are against it, and the second is that I finally show my feelings for myself, not the love of men and women, but a deep guilt, guilt for the eldest brother of the wing——"

His Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and his voice couldn't help but be a little excited and trembling: "But...... The eldest brother of the wing may not be dead, you are the crown princess he set since childhood, how can I marry you!? ”
