On the other hand, Chen Yiqing, who had caused trouble to Yu Ruyan, rushed to his home non-stop, he wanted to quickly tell Mu Lingzhi about his stomach, no matter how late he was, he would be suffocated into internal injuries!

However, without waiting for Chen Yiqing to rush back to report to Mu Lingzhi, his own father, Chen Xiang, who entered the palace with him, was so angry that he caught up with him halfway after hearing the news of the imperial study, and discounted Chen Yiqing's leg with a stick.

Chen Xiang, who was furious, wanted to return to the palace directly with his broken leg to ask the emperor and Concubine Lian for guilt, and retracted the nonsense Chen Yiqing said just now, but he saw him sweating profusely and died, and his heart was distressed, plus considering that the emperor and Concubine Lian must be angry at this time, he had to give up an old face, first write a plea to the emperor Concubine Lotus and the eldest princess, and then express his determination to let his son marry the eldest princess, so as to do so, Wait for the anger in the heart of the eldest princess to extinguish, and then let Chen Yiqing personally go to the door to ask for a kiss.

Chen Yiqing lame on one leg and wailed on the side: "Daddy, you can't pit my son and me, I want you to marry my mother cheekily back then, beautiful men, heroes save beauty, pretend to be pitiful, fake death, and stalk, but none of them have been less, isn't it just to find their true love, why did you drive ducks to the sedan chair and let me be the groom's official when you come to me!" Ah, there is no heavenly reason! Murder of relatives and children! ”

Chen Yiqing howled all the way, but in less than half a day, the whole Kyoto knew that the old-fashioned and serious Chen Yuan married Mrs. Xiangfu with such a dead face, and couldn't help but follow the carriage of the Xiangfu one by one and cover his mouth to watch the excitement.

Chen Xiang's beard turned white, he couldn't bear it anymore, took off his socks and stuffed his mouth, threw them into the yard and locked the courtyard door, and sent more than a dozen families to guard the courtyard firmly to prevent Chen Yiqing from escaping.

Mrs. Chen was distressed and asked the doctor to help him pick up the broken leg, but he still spared no effort to howl, and after howling for a long time, he didn't see any movement of Mu Lingzhi in the courtyard next door, and couldn't help but be curious, and asked Yuanbao to inquire, only to know that Mu Lingyi had already left the house and had not come back yet.

Chen Yiqing was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, thinking, when are you still in the mood to go out, your little lady is about to become the wife of an old widower, and it will be your turn to become a widower!!

Mu Lingzhi came back from outside, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he heard the subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion talking about it, and along the way, he actually heard the news that Chen Yiqing was going to marry the fifth princess, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

Tong Qian followed behind him and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Master, why do I think this General Chen is too unrighteous, obviously he went to the palace to help you find out the news of the fifth princess, why did he marry himself as soon as he turned around?" Hmph, that's ......! ”

Mu Ling's eyes sank, and he said coldly: "Yiqing is not such a person, although he usually doesn't have a serious appearance, he is actually a very measured person, no matter whether the fifth princess is the Xiaoqing we are looking for, just based on the marriage contract I had with the fifth princess before, it is impossible for him to marry her again." In addition, he is not a casual person, and he didn't know the fifth princess before, so why did he suddenly ask for a kiss after entering the palace. So I guess nine times out of ten, this matter has something to do with me! ”

In fact, half of the words in his heart were not spoken, and vaguely, he had guessed that maybe the mysterious fifth princess in the palace was the Xiaoqing he was looking for!

What happened to Yiqing when he entered the palace today? Did he really see the person in the portrait? Why did you suddenly remember to marry the fifth princess?

With more and more doubts in his heart, Mu Lingzhi had wind under his feet, walked quickly towards Chen Yiqing's courtyard, and when he walked to the door, he saw that there were many Ding Guardian courtyards around the courtyard, but everyone knew that this man with extraordinary demeanor in front of him was a close friend of his son-in-law, so he didn't dare to stop him.

Mu Lingzhi was about to step in, but was stopped by Chen Xiang, who followed closely, Chen Xiang said helplessly: "Childe is Xiao'er's friend, and looking at his appearance, he respects Childe very much, I hope that Childe will go in and persuade him a few words, so that he can change his mind and marry the eldest princess." In fact, the eldest princess is the most suitable for him. Those five princesses are really ...... Alas! ”

Chen Xiang's long sigh made Mu Lingzhi's brows furrow, his heart sank slightly, and he pretended to be curious and asked: "Listening to Chen Xiang's tone, she is also a princess, how can it seem that the fifth princess is very unpopular." ”

Chen Xiang was depressed in his heart, couldn't help but say a few more words, and sighed: "The biological mother of the fifth princess is just a lowly palace maid, so she has not been treated well since she was born...... She was born without tears and was regarded as an ominous person in Daqi...... Actually, Benxiang didn't look down on her, mainly because she was married a year ago, and she was abandoned, she just came back from Daliang not long ago, and she was going to be married to 6 families...... Hey, Childe, where are you going? Won't you go in and persuade Yiqing? ”

Before Chen Xiang finished speaking, Mu Lingzhi's expression in front of him suddenly changed greatly, and in the next second, he turned out to be a figure that disappeared in a blink of an eye!

Chen Yiqing heard Yuan Bao say that Mu Lingzhi had arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and immediately put on a pitiful look of pain on the bed, and the wail also shook the entire Xiangfu.

But when Yuan Bao went to see it again, he came back to tell him, and Mu Lingzhi, who had obviously arrived at the gate of the courtyard, disappeared in an instant.

And the copper coin just went back to the courtyard and turned around, and when he came to the next yard to find Mu Ling, there was no one to ......

It was dark, Brother An came back from outside, and after entering the house, he stood in front of Yu Ruyan for a long time and didn't dare to say anything, lowering his head, but tears couldn't stop rolling in his eyes.

Seeing her so sad, Yu Ruyan's heart was cold, but it was clear-

It seems that everything that Yu Mingzhu said just now is true, and the father really has the intention of giving himself to that 6 Rong as a continuation.

Heh, she has just escaped from Daliang, but she didn't expect to be married to an old widower over forty years old by her father again!

Brother An's tears finally slipped from the corners of his eyes, and he cried sadly: "Princess, it turns out that it turned out that the one who smashed your pebble in the garden today was the shameless 6 Rong, and in order to see your appearance clearly, he deliberately used the pebble to lure you to turn your face...... I don't know the importance of being so old, and I still want to marry the princess and extend the house......"

After Brother An finished speaking sadly, he looked up at Yu Ruyan, who had a desperate look in his eyes, and was so distressed that he couldn't help crying again.

"Princess, that 6 Rong is Concubine Li's brother, and Concubine Li hates the death of the seventh princess on you, if the princess really marries to the 6 families, I am afraid that she will be tortured to death. Princess, you still went to beg the emperor and chose to marry that General Chen, although he looks crazy, but it's better than marrying that old ...... of 6 Rong."

"Do you really think I'm left to my choice?"

Yu Ruyan's heart was dead silent, and her flowing eyes seemed to be a pool of stagnant water without any sparkle at this time, and she said weakly: "6 The matter of glory was specially done by Concubine Lian and Concubine Li, how could they die so easily!" And that General Chen, although I don't know why he suddenly wants to marry me, but Concubine Lian and Jade Mingzhu will definitely not agree, General Chen is the concubine in Jade Mingzhu's picture, how can he let him marry me and slap her in the face? Therefore, the final outcome must be to force me to marry that 6 Rong! ”

"But princess, then General Chen is a kiss begged in front of the emperor and everyone, how can he let the people of Chunlan Palace be swayed? I heard that although General Chen is young, he is a stake, maybe in the end, the emperor is in awe of the military power in his hand and agrees! ”

I met Chen Yiqing in the garden before, looking at him dressed in purple and beautiful clothes, coupled with a smile and a serious look, Brother An didn't have much of a good impression of him, but now compared with the forty-year-old 6 Rong, she hopes that Yu Ruyan can marry him.

However, at this moment, the voice of the two girls in the courtyard came from outside the window, the voice was not small, but it was just for them in the house to hear.

The two little girls, you say a word, what you are talking about is that Chen Xiang broke his leg because of General Chen's unauthorized courtship, and personally wrote to the eldest princess of Concubine Lian to ask for guilt, and said that he would definitely marry the eldest princess into the door.

Hearing this, Brother An couldn't say anything more, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered......

"Look, this is inevitable, Concubine Lotus and the emperor have already acquiesced to General Chen as the eldest princess's concubine, so how dare Chen Xiang offend the emperor and Concubine Lian again, and dismiss them, besides, compared to me and Jade Mingzhu, anyone will choose her and will not choose me......"

Thinking that Yu Ruyan was going to marry 6 Rong's old widower after all, and then thinking of the perverted things she had heard about 6 Rong outside, Brother An couldn't help crying out with a 'wow' anymore, and said sadly: "Princess, they are too bullying, how can this be?" Give you away like a cat and a dog, a year ago you begged to send you to a kiss, and now I just came back and gave you to a widower to renew the house, princess, what are we going to do now? ”

"Whether it's General Chen or General 6, I won't marry any of them again, so don't worry!"

Yu Ruyan looked at the faint candle flame in a daze, her heart was cold, chaotic and numb, and her whole body was like falling into an ice cave, but the words she could say were extremely decisive.

Brother An suddenly remembered that as soon as the Queen Mother's birthday passed, they would leave the palace and never come back, and when the time came, they would naturally not have to marry again.

Thinking of this, Brother An, who was still desperate and heartbroken just now, suddenly became happy, and was about to shout happily, but was stopped by Yu Ruyan's look.

Yu Ruyan gently gestured to the outside twice, Brother An suddenly covered his mouth in surprise, and only said cautiously after a while: "Master, do you mean that the two little girls outside are unreliable?" ”

Yu Ruyan smiled coldly, shook her head and said, "Of course it's unreliable." ”

Brother An still didn't quite understand, and couldn't help asking, "What has happened to the master?" ”

Yu Ruyan smiled slowly, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly: "At the beginning, the Internal Affairs Office sent so many girls in to serve, I only left two, I said bluntly, I couldn't do anything when I was on an errand in the Jinying Palace, so the other palace people chose to leave, and these two girls were obviously clever and good-looking, but they were willing to take the initiative to stay in my small Jinying Palace, to put it bluntly, it was Concubine Lian who arranged for them to come in to monitor me." ”

"This afternoon, without my consent, you put Yu Huaizhu and everyone into the palace, and they didn't come to tell me, just to see me suffer unexpectedly. Just now, I deliberately said such things to make me die. Just think about it, you and I don't know such news, isn't it strange that the two little palace maids actually know? ”

Brother An listened to a fussy in his heart, thinking that the two girls before were always chatting with him intentionally or unintentionally, if he hadn't remembered Yu Ruyan's words, he wouldn't talk to them casually, and he wouldn't allow them to enter the hall, but he was afraid that he would fall for the trick of the two dead girls.

Can't eat dinner, Yu Ruyan climbed into bed and fell asleep physically and mentally exhausted, Brother An lit the soothing incense that Yue Yu gave them before, hoping to let Yu Ruyan fall asleep early.

Even with an appeasement incense to stabilize his mind, Yu Ruyan's mind still involuntarily reappeared his figure......

She couldn't help but think, if he was there, would her father dare to give her away casually? Concubine Lian, do they dare to frame her so blatantly?

If he was there, he would definitely protect her behind him like when Concubine Xie Guifei wanted to kill him, and not let these people hurt her in the slightest......

As soon as she thought of Mu Lingzhi, the place in Yuruyan's heart was empty all of a sudden, empty and sour, her eyes were extremely sour, she grabbed her chest tightly, closed her eyes and got rid of all the shadows about Mu Lingzhi in her mind, and a voice in her heart told her loudly -

Die, there is no more possibility for you in this life!

But the more I wanted to forget him, the more his figure appeared in my heart, and the bits and pieces with him reappeared in my mind over and over again. She suddenly opened her eyes, her face was pale, looking at Brother An who was guarding the bedside, she suddenly asked helplessly: "Brother An, when people are sad, is it more comfortable to shed tears, sad and distressed...... Will it be a little less? ”

Brother An looked at her uncomfortable appearance, and couldn't help but feel sour, just wanted to cry but was afraid of arousing Yu Ruyan's sadness, squeezed out a bitter smile and comforted: "Princess, it's not good to be able to cry, it will only make people more vulnerable, like a princess, isn't it stronger than a slave?" Therefore, don't be sad or sad, the slave will definitely pay for the princess. ”

Listening to Brother An's words, Yu Ruyan felt even more uncomfortable, thinking that in her life, she was destined to be lonely, and only Brother An and Xiaodao were always by her side.

She couldn't help but think of what Mu Lingzhi had said to her with a painful face.

"I have paid so much for you, and in the end, I can't get a tear from you!"

A pang of cramping in the heart......

It was another sleepless night, and it wasn't until Dongfang Lu Baiyu Ruyan fell asleep that he was extremely tired......

A figure floated in from the window, standing beside her bed in a daze, looking at Yu Ruyan who was still frowning in her sleep, with a look of great surprise and messiness......

Mu Lingzhi's heart trembled when he heard Chen Xiang's sentence 'born without tears', and Yu Ruyan's stubborn and red eyes suddenly appeared in his mind, and it was suddenly clear in his heart, it turned out that she was really the fifth princess of Qi Kingdom, Yu Ruyan!

Countless times, she was obviously in pain, but her eyes were red and she couldn't shed a tear......

From the first time she was sent to his tent as a military prostitute by his subordinates, he saw that she was different from ordinary women, with an unyielding tenacity, and he had never seen her shed a single tear.

Before, he hated her cold-blooded, it turned out that she didn't cry, but she couldn't cry when she wanted to......

Mu Lingzhi's heart was filled with heavy stones, and he remembered that he had misunderstood her, and the guilt in his heart came flooding back......

He once inadvertently asked her why she didn't cry, and at that time, she smiled bitterly and said that because she cried too much when she was a child, her tears dried up, and she didn't cry anymore when she grew up.

He believed it like a fool at the time, and now he thinks, oh, the day will come when the tears will run dry......

My heart ached for a while......

After entering the palace, because he couldn't find the palace where Yu Ruyan was, Mu Lingzhi grabbed a palace maid and asked for directions, and remembered many questions in his heart, for example, she was obviously a princess, why did she have to endure the humiliation of military prostitutes, but also to save the maid who sacrificed herself to save everyone; is obviously from a noble background, but she is willing to live in a small bungalow in the palace, cleaning the garden every day, and a small sweet potato makes her extremely satisfied; is obviously the most pampered person in the world, but his hands are covered with calluses and scars......

It was the hands that were inferior to the handmaiden that completely confused him, so that he no longer doubted her unwillingness and tenacity hidden under submission, just as she was an ordinary servant.

But since her true identity is the fifth princess of Qi Kingdom, what is the matter with her and Chenzhi? And what about the Mask Assassin?

Although he solved the mystery of Yu Ruyan's identity, there were more and more doubts in his mind.

He stopped the little palace maid who was about to leave with his long sword, and asked her to tell him all the past news about Yu Ruyan-

Everything about Yu Ruyan was short but extremely heart-wrenching, and after listening to the little palace maid tremble for an hour, Mu Lingzhi put away his long sword and found the Jinying Palace.

Looking through the half-open window, although he already knew in his heart that the woman inside was his wife, and he was also the person who shot a cold arrow at her on impulse, and he was the woman he unconsciously loved to the point of madness, until the person who carved into his bone marrow, the remorse, distress, guilt, and joy in his heart were intertwined, it was really mixed, staying on the spot, even if he saw her with his own eyes, Mu Lingzhi still felt that he was dreaming-

She turned out to be really the princess of Qi Kingdom, who traveled thousands of miles to marry her own princess, but because of the mistake of fate, it has become an embarrassing situation today.

Yu Ruyan rolled on the bed for a long time and didn't fall asleep, sighing and tugging at his heart outside the window, Mu Lingzhi couldn't control himself countless times and wanted to rush into the room and hug her thin body tightly into his arms, telling her that she was wrong, really wrong, and that arrow was wrong from the beginning......

As soon as she remembered the arrow she had shot at her sedan chair, the leg that had just stretched out couldn't help but retract.

He finally understood why he had been by his side for so long, even when the feelings were the strongest later, why she was unwilling to tell him the truth, not to tell him that she was the princess of King Qi, and would rather be humble as a servant girl by his side, in the final analysis, in her heart, the cold arrow always lay in her heart and became an eternal pain in her heart......

Mu Lingzhi stood at the window all night, his head wet from the frost and dew, and his legs couldn't feel sensation, he thought over and over again, what should he do in order to get back her forgiveness, make up for the damage caused to her, and let her accept himself again and return to him?

The sky was white, the bed was Yu Ruyan fell asleep, there was a sound of footsteps outside, it was the palace people who got up in the morning and began to sprinkle and work, he should have left immediately to avoid being seen, but in the end, after enduring the night, he couldn't help but go in after all.

Standing on the edge of the bed greedily looking at her who finally fell asleep, Mu Lingzhi's eyes were filled with endless guilt and reluctance, looking at her emaciated little face, his heart ached, he bent down and gently smoothed her frowning brows, his eyes were tender, and he was reluctant to say: "Now that I have found you, I will never let you go again, and I will not let you be sad for the rest of my life, let alone let you cry silently in my heart, I will use the second half of my life to repay you for the injury of that arrow!" ”

……

When Chen Yiqing was sitting on a rattan chair hanging high with an injured leg, and was carried by his subordinates all over the street to find Mu Ling, he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates that General 6 Rong had been beaten in his mansion, and his nose was blue, his face was swollen, his head was broken, not to mention, it was a coincidence, his legs were also broken, and it was both legs!

Chen Yiqing was just about to gloat and laugh a few times, when he suddenly thought of something, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly ordered to go home.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the house with a limp, Mu Lingzhi was already sitting in the middle of his room with a cold face, and when he saw them coming back, his eyes swept his face sharply, but he didn't say a word.

Chen Yiqing's left leg trembled unconsciously, watching the copper coin happily rush towards Mu Lingzhi, he also salivated and said happily: "Brother Mu, you are back, you didn't come back last night, I can't sleep when I'm sad and sad, I'm looking for you with a lame leg all over Kyoto, and I think you were hooked by a goblin......

"You really miss me being seduced by the goblins, so you can marry your sister-in-law, right?" Mu Lingzhi's voice was a little hoarse, and Tong Qian hurriedly poured him tea with a heartache when he heard it.

"Hey, hey, what a wolf-hearted thing!" Chen Yiqingjun's face flushed, and he scolded and hid to the side.

"In order to save my sister-in-law, I risked the crime of bullying her to save her, if I didn't stretch my legs to stir up, I was afraid that my sister-in-law would marry for the second time."

Speaking of stirring, Chen Yiqing couldn't help but want to stretch out the hanging injured leg and stir it on the ground a few times, but when he moved, his leg hurt again, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Look at you, for you, even my father broke his leg." I'm just delaying the army, dragging the old emperor from making a holy decree. Anyway, I've sacrificed so much for you, how can you thank me? ”

"Send you twelve sweaty BMWs and let you change them every month!"

"And what about my broken leg?"

"Didn't I break the old widower's legs to make reparations for you?"

"Poof......" Chen Yiqing couldn't help laughing, seeing that the misunderstanding was solved, he happily jumped to Mu Lingzhi's side and sat down, and said happily: "As soon as I heard that my subordinates came to report that the 6 Rong was beaten, I guessed that it must be you, otherwise who would dare to touch him in this Kyoto except Ben Shao!" It's not to break your own legs to pay me, but I'm happy to break 6 Rong's two doglegs. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and suddenly remembered something and wondered: "I didn't tell you that the 6 Rong was going to marry the fifth princess, nor did I say that the five princesses were the sweetheart you were looking for, you know everything." ”

"Listen to your father."

"That'...... You haven't seen you all night, entered the palace? ”

"Went to ...... Hibiscus Sakura Palace. ”

"Can you see your sister-in-law?" Chen Yiqing's peach blossom eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Let's talk about it, you haven't seen you for so long, and your sister-in-law watched you come all the way to find her, are you so moved that you hugged each other and cried, and you were grateful?" ”

“……”

"Could it be that the fire burned directly with dry firewood. Oops, that's straightforward! Looking at Mu Lingzhi's silent appearance, Chen Yiqing was so excited that he couldn't be more excited.

"What if...... If you've ever killed someone you love, do you think she'll ever forgive you? Mu Lingzhi's whole body was immersed in deep helplessness and guilt, when he thought of the pain in Yu Ruyan's heart, his heart was panicked, and there was always a feeling that Yu Ruyan would not be willing to forgive him, which made him fall into a deep panic.

Chen Yiqing looked at his painful appearance, rarely put away the description of his smile, and sighed: "Well, this is indeed a problem, I guess my sister-in-law is still very sad and sad when she thinks of you shooting her an arrow indiscriminately." If it were me, even if I didn't shoot you back, I would have to hide from you, so that you would be worried, thinking about it day and night, but I couldn't see it, I couldn't get it, so that you would get lovesickness, and it would be good to feel guilty for a lifetime. ”

Hearing his words, Mu Lingzhi's pale face darkened, and he said in a hoarse voice: "In this way, I'd rather let her shoot me an arrow." No, I'm willing to shoot ten arrows and a hundred arrows, as long as she puts down the mustard in her heart and is willing to return to me! ”

"Tut-tut, I knew today, why bother in the first place!" Chen Yiqing said angrily: "If you had calmed down and cherished the fragrance and jade, you would not have caused the situation like today." ”

"So, I've asked my secret guard to find out what the rumors were all about! Who's behind this? Thinking of his anger when he heard all kinds of false rumors about Yu Ruyan that day, if it weren't for this, he who has always been calm would not have done what he regrets now.

"Well, the person who spreads rumors is indeed hateful, and the motive is too vicious, that is, to let Qi Liang and his relatives fail, and let you kill the princess to provoke a war between the two countries, tsk, it's really vicious. But what is even more terrible is that this false news has deceived your people into reaching your ears, or to put it another way, there is something in your people. ”

Chen Yiqing is worthy of being a young and promising general, looking at the people who are giggling, he is actually very thoughtful, otherwise, he would not have become the youngest and most promising general in Qi State.

He thought of Mu Lingzhi even more so that he had quietly ordered his secret guards to investigate the matter, and even, he had already guessed that nine out of ten of these people were Prince Yi's people.

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly remembered the people he met on the streets of Kyoto today, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold!

The person who met him unexpectedly was Yue Yu!

Mu Lingzhi knew that he came to Qi Country for the same purpose as himself, he was here to find Yu Ruyan, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, did Yue Yu know Yu Ruyan's true identity?

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. ”
