An Lan gave a fluttering look, and Mother Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, saw it and hurriedly continued.

"After the old slave caught her, he not only found these from her, but also these ······" As she spoke, she took out a dozen purses and put them on the ground, and glanced at Gu Qing'er with a strange expression.

Gu Qing'er couldn't help but shudder when she saw those purses, Mu Lingzhi said coldly: "How can a girl carry so many purses, open it and take a look, there is something strange inside?" ”

Gu Qing'er stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but was held by Zhuzhu on the side. Looking at everyone, Zhuzhu hurriedly covered up: "The master is pregnant and can't stand for a long time, maybe he's tired, so let's sit aside and rest." With that, he helped the pale Gu Qing'er to sit down next to him.

Here, Mother Liu heard Mu Lingzhi's inquiry and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, the old slave has already checked them one by one, and it is full of male yellow!" ”

"Realgar!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, this good girl's family, without jasmine osmanthus and other good-smelling spices, how could she bring realgar on her body, and moreover, she still carried so many at one time? It's weird!

Gu Qing'er calmed down a lot after taking a sip of tea, and said coldly: "It's just ordinary realgar and not arsenic poison, what's the fuss!" ”

An Lan took two steps forward, picked up one of the purses and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "This purse is exquisitely made, and the material used is actually the brocade that has been newly paid this year-" A pair of eyes looked at Gu Qing'er, who was sitting on the side with a pale face, and said with a smile: "Isn't this exactly what His Royal Highness rewarded my sister before?" How did my sister's purse get to the little girl? ”

Gu Qing'er's gaze slowly swept over her face, and she said coldly: "What, can't I give a purse to the girl?" ”

An Lan smiled and said, "Sister, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, I just think it's a little strange!" After saying this, she didn't say anything more, quietly stepped aside, and hid her body in the shadows, inconspicuous.

Mother Liu knelt on the ground, and when she heard Gu Qing'er's words, her old face turned red, as if she had something unspeakable in her heart and didn't say it. Mu Lingzhi looked at her from above, and said coldly: "This palace has limited patience, don't swallow and spit out, say it clean at once!" ”

His words were tinged with a sharp chill, which shocked everyone present, and Mother Liu shook like a sieve, and said tremblingly: "Back to Your Highness, after the torture of the old slave, what Zhuxiang said and what Mrs. Gu said... Said... There is a discrepancy ······"

"Say!"

"Zhuxiang said, said, said that these purses were not rewarded by Mrs., but that Mrs. asked her to throw away the ······ to destroy the evidence."

"Bang!" Before she finished speaking, Gu Qing'er raised her hand and smashed the teacup in her hand towards Mother Liu, and scolded fiercely: "Cheap slave, you are talking nonsense here, what is the destruction of evidence, it is full of nonsense!" Your Highness, you must not trust her! As he spoke, he threw himself to Mu Lingzhi's side and cried.

Mother Liu was hit on the forehead, blood flowed, and she couldn't help screaming: "Your Highness Mingjian, what the old slave said was all confessed by this girl herself, and there were other people present at the time, and the old slave didn't dare to say half a word of nonsense!" ”

Mu Lingzhi's cold gaze slowly swept across Liu's mother's face, "Destroy evidence?!" ”

There was a chill in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel furious when he saw it. Seeing that his expression was wrong, An Lan hurriedly said to Liu's mother: "Liu's mother, you are an old man in the house, you should know what kind of crime it is to slander your master?" Why don't you quickly ask Your Highness and Madame for your guilt and let them spare you! ”

She said this in her mouth, but a cold light flashed in her gentle eyes, looking at Liu's mother's heart stagnant, she came back to her senses, but she was not as scared as before, covering the bleeding wound with one hand, while pointing to the bamboo incense that fell to the ground, her neck was stiff, and she had the courage to grit her teeth and said desperately: "The old slave is dedicated to the palace, and he will never dare to hide any secrets." This girl also confessed that the Wujin snake in this courtyard a month ago was actually bought by Mrs. Gu from outside, and the people in Ziluo Courtyard had already known about it, so they prepared a male yellow bag to prevent snakes by her side early······"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the entire warm pavilion boiled like a disaster, everyone had witnessed the thrill in the Ziluo Courtyard last time, and a guard died, His Royal Highness and Yu Ruyan almost died in Shekou, if this life-threatening Wu Jin Shao was really deliberately done by Gu Qing'er, and the people of the Ziluo Courtyard knew about it early on, and prepared the male yellow bag early to defend themselves, but they watched Wu Jin Shao bite others to death, and his heart was too vicious!

Yu Ruyan stood quietly in the corner of the backlight, looking at Mu Lingzhi with a cold gaze for a moment - could he predict such a result?

Mu Lingzhi seemed to feel her gaze, and his deep eyes looked at her, and when he saw that her eyes were clear, his heart was shocked, and his heart was bright-

Thinking that she almost died in Shekou and almost died in the fire because of this incident, my heart suddenly cold.

Now that I think about it carefully, there are indeed many doubts in this matter, but at that time, the residual poison on his body was not cleared, and he couldn't take care of so much, and the matter was not resolved after An Lirong was punished later.

His eyes stopped at Zhuxiang with a frightened face, his eyes stared at her like an eagle falcon, and he said coldly: "Is everything that Mother Liu said true or false?" ”

He waved his hand to let people take out the cotton towel in Zhuxiang's mouth. Zhuxiang's little face was pale, beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping down like a torrential rain, his mouth was panting, his whole body trembled like a fallen leaf in the wind, and he was about to open his mouth but shrank after meeting Gu Qing'er's vicious gaze, and he pursed his mouth in fear and didn't say a word!

Mu Lingzhi smiled angrily, casually picked up a purse on the ground and put it in his hand, it was not light, it seemed that such a weight was indeed used to avoid poisonous snakes, he no longer cared about the bamboo incense on the ground, and slowly walked to Gu Qing'er step by step, looking at her with a panicked face, and sneered: "You are all ready, haven't you thought about matching a male yellow bag for the palace to defend yourself?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Qing'er's whole body went limp, and she couldn't stand steadily.

When he said this, he had determined that Wu Jinshao's matter was Gu Qing'er's conspiracy. Everyone immediately looked at Gu Qing'er with a miserable face, and everyone looked gloating on their faces, thinking that this Gu Qing'er was usually arrogant and domineering in the mansion by virtue of grace, and after being pregnant with the emperor's heir and raised to his wife, he was even more lawless, and he was simply walking sideways in the mansion.

But she is not a stupid person in the end, if she is convicted, this is a big crime to murder the prince, and it is to destroy the nine clans. Biting his tongue to calm himself down, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he threw himself at Mu Lingzhi's feet and cried mournfully: "Your Highness, the concubine is really wronged, the concubine has never done such a vicious thing, and she has never sent someone to buy any black gold shoots." The concubine only happened to hear someone say that there was movement in the yard, and guessed that there might be snakes and ants, so she thought that everyone had a male yellow envelope on her to take precautions, and the others didn't know at all, let alone what Liu Ma said to destroy the evidence. ”

Mu Lingzhi's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word!

"Your Highness, all the concubines are thinking about in their hearts and minds is Your Highness, how can they harm Your Highness, all this is just a coincidence." Speaking of this, she was already a handful of snot and tears, and she couldn't care about her glamorous image anymore, she lay on the ground and dragged the corner of Mu Lingzhi's clothes, looking at the man who was high above her as she spoke.

Seeing that Mu Lingzhi had been indifferent, Gu Qing'er was so panicked that she jumped out, she turned around and suddenly pounced in front of Mother Liu and slapped her in the face, jumped up and scolded: "Cheap slave, tell me honestly, which slut was instructed to slander me?" If you don't make it clear today, I won't spare you. After that, the sharp nails were deeply grasped into Liu's mother's slightly rounded face, and blood was immediately seen, but a good face was scratched in the forehead, and the face was scratched!

These male yellow buns were obviously thrown away before, how could they suddenly appear here today, and Zhuxiang has been by her side for so many years, and she has never come out to steal, and today she was inexplicably stolen by everyone. In addition, an ordinary old mother in the backyard dared to come forward to testify against her, and all kinds of signs seem to be that someone deliberately set up a situation to expose herself.

Gu Qing'er's big eyes seemed to stare out, and the sharp eye wind swept across everyone's faces, and finally stopped at Yu Ruyan, who had a calm face, and couldn't help but shake her whole body-

Could it be her?

However, I couldn't think about it, but Liu's mother, who was caught by her and was drenched in blood, jumped up-

Now that the words have been spoken, the people who want to be offended have been offended, and Mother Liu does not want to bear the responsibility of slandering the master, in her opinion, Mrs. Gu is completely offended, if she is allowed to turn over, she will only die.

Thinking of this, Mother Liu jumped up from the ground and shouted: "I was not the only one present when I interrogated Zhuxiang yesterday, many people in the courtyard were there, Zhuxiang personally admitted that Wujin Shao was bought into the mansion by Mrs. Gu, and the fall into the water is also fake, if Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can ask them?" ”

With the finger of her hand, several slaves and maids standing at the door were so frightened that they all lowered their heads, and none of them dared to say anything—

The current situation is too dangerous, Mother Liu seems to have a lot of evidence and a lot of chances, and Her Royal Highness seems to believe her, but Mrs. Gu is pregnant with His Royal Highness's child, in case His Royal Highness does not deal with her for the sake of the child, there is always a chance to turn over, if she comes out now to testify, isn't it asking for trouble?

Seeing that everyone didn't dare to come out to testify, Mother Liu couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly pulled the bamboo incense on the side and said sharply: "Dead girl, you recruited very quickly yesterday, why can't you pry your mouth like a dead duck in front of Your Highness?" Don't you cry when you don't see the green mountains? ”

It is often said that 'if you don't see a coffin, you don't cry'. Everyone thought that Mother Liu was too anxious to say the wrong thing for a while, but An Lan, who was standing silently on the side, hooked the corners of her mouth without a trace-

As early as half a month ago, she overheard the girls in the courtyard chatting, saying that the bamboo fragrance in the Ziluo Courtyard admired the outstanding-looking nursing home Tang Qingshan. At that time, she was thinking about how to set up a bureau to confess Gu Qing'er in order to give Yu Ruyan an explanation, when she heard the news, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought about it-

In less than a week, she heard that Yuan'er came to report that the fish had taken the bait, An Lan was satisfied, and while asking Yuan'er to pay attention to the movements of the two at all times, not to startle the snake, while quietly planning everything······

She was completely relaxed, and then Zhuxiang would definitely confess her master in order to keep her lover.

She no longer cared about the confrontation between Mother Liu and Gu Qing'er, and looked at Yu Ruyan who had been silent with gentle eyes, and smiled comfortably on her face!

After confessing Gu Qing'er, the matter of Ziluo Courtyard was completely over, and she also gave everyone an explanation, the most important thing is to clear her suspicions, so that Yu Ruyan no longer doubts herself.

And after this incident, Gu Qing'er committed such a big crime, even if His Royal Highness was afraid that the child in her belly would not want her life, she was afraid that it would be inevitable to be grounded in the cold, as long as she was without the protection of His Highness, she had a way to make her unable to give birth to a child·····

Thinking that the troubles in her heart could be solved through this matter, An Lan was so happy that she was about to fly into the sky, her eyes narrowed, and she held back the excitement in her heart and waited for Gu Qing'er to be stabbed in the face by her cronies in the end.

Yu Ruyan has been standing indifferently and quietly watching everything in the room, when An Lan looked at her, looking at the smugness in her eyes, Yu Ruyan suddenly felt that she really underestimated her ruthlessness!

In the end, under torture, Zhu Xiang shook Gu Qing'er by throwing Wu Jinzi to hurt people and pretending to fall into the water, and Gu Qing'er fainted in a hurry on the spot.

Everyone who learned the truth was stunned, Mu Lingzhi's face was covered with frost, thinking of the danger of Yu Ruyan after falling into the mouth of the snake that day, if it wasn't for the child in Gu Qing'er's belly, I was afraid that she would be taken out of the palace on the spot.

In the end, Gu Qing'er was demoted to a concubine and imprisoned in Ziluo Courtyard, and all the maidservants who served her in close service were all beaten and driven out of the palace, and suddenly, Ziluo Courtyard, which was still beautiful a moment ago, completely fell into the quagmire and could no longer turn over!

I don't know when the snow fell in the sky again, and Yu Ruyan came out of the Ziluo Courtyard and was about to go back to her small bungalow, but was stopped by An Lan on the way.

She held a jade bone oil umbrella, stood quietly on the side of the road, saw Yu Ruyan coming, smiled, stepped forward to cover her head with the oil umbrella, but she avoided it sideways-

"The wind and snow are rising, Aunt An is still interested in visiting the garden, it seems that Aunt Ann is in a good mood today!" Looking at the gentle woman in front of her, Yu Ruyan distanced herself from her without a trace, "The slave maid doesn't disturb my aunt's Yaxing, retire first!" ”

"Sister stay!" An Lan opened her mouth to call her, and she stepped forward with a smile and chuckled: "I deliberately waited for my sister here, why should my sister refuse to be thousands of miles away!" ”

"What is my aunt waiting for me?" Yu Ruyan looked at her lightly, her cold eyes looked at her coldly, and she was vigilant in her heart.

"Is my sister still satisfied with today's events?" An Lan didn't care about her alienation, looked at her with a smile, and asked directly.

"Heh, my aunt has always been good at acting, and today's play is even more exciting, but the slave maid is just a small subordinate, and I don't dare to comment on the master's affairs, as long as the aunt herself is satisfied, it is enough!" After that, she didn't want to stay any longer, and went straight past her.

"Wait." An Lan stopped her again, her face was no longer the fake look of the smile she had before, and she sneered: "In order to give my sister an explanation, I have taken great pains, but how can I look at my sister and not seem to appreciate it?" ”

Yu Ruyan turned around and looked at her fixedly, her eyes were as cold as water, "Thank you aunt for your lift, if you want to give me an explanation, it is better to congratulate my aunt on successfully eradicating dissidents, and no one can stand side by side with my aunt." The one in Ziluo Courtyard fell off the horse, if the child in her womb was not guaranteed by 'one accident', the child in her aunt's womb would be the eldest son of His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the saint, this move, my aunt did a good job! ”

An Lan's expression was frozen, her eyes became ruthless, and she sneered: "My sister is really smart and extraordinary, and she can't hide anything from your eyes." After that, his eyes stared straight at Yu Ruyan's eyes and said: "The snow is just right tonight, I specially came to walk with my sister to enjoy the snow scene of the palace, can my sister be willing to appreciate her face?" She said as she covered the umbrella above her head over Yu Ruyan's head again.

Oh, walking together, I came to pull her as an ally!

For An Lan's sudden move, Yu Ruyan is not surprised, An Lirong has lifted the grounding, and the matter of Ziluo Courtyard has also been 'revealed', the grievances on her body have been washed away, I believe that it will not be long before the position of the side concubine will be re-established, and the power of this palace will not know who will fall by then?

An Lan tried her best to get everything in front of her, how could she be willing to change hands to others again?

If she relied on her own strength, coupled with An Lirong's no longer trusting her, she would not have much chance of winning alone. Therefore, Yu Ruyan has become a new ally candidate.

Yu Ruyan couldn't help sneering in her heart, the best skill of the woman in front of her is to be a hypocritical snake, she hid by An Lirong's side to please Xiao, but she put a cold arrow behind her back and robbed her of the power of the family, and now she pulled her former ally Gu Qing'er off the horse silently, not only let her bear all the blame for her, but also cleared her threat to herself, and made all plans for the child in her belly early, how could such an insidious and hypocritical person be worthy of her trust?

She took a step back to avoid the oil umbrella on her head again, and said coldly: "Compared with the false and untrue when it snows, the slave maid prefers the true beauty of the snow after the snow stops. ”

After saying that, she didn't stop any longer, and went straight away.

Seeing her leave, Yuan'er walked out from the side and said angrily: "This cheap maid really doesn't know how to lift, Niangniang is now the head of the palace, why do you need to lower her status and beg her for grievances?" ”

An Lan glanced at her coldly, her eyes were cold and scary.

"The ban on the Furong Courtyard has been lifted, she will definitely settle accounts with us, it is always good for multiple people to help each other at this time, don't underestimate that she is just a slave, Her Highness's thoughts about her are very unusual."

"But the master also heard it, this Xiaoqing doesn't seem to buy the master's account." Yuan'er looked at the direction Yu Ruyan left with a worried face, and said cautiously.

"Oh, if you can't be my friend, you can only be an enemy!" An Lan slowly exhaled a cool breath, her eyes gloomy and indifferent-

"Enemies who fight for life and death!"

Yuru Yan Kankan walked to the door and saw that there was a light in her room, she was stunned, could it be that the knife sneaked back again?

She hurriedly pushed the door in, and was about to open her mouth to call the name of the knife, but was shocked by the scene in front of her.

The light in the simple and narrow room was dim, Mu Lingzhi leaned on the edge of the bed and closed his eyes as if he was asleep, and the brazier in the middle of the room did not know when a pot of silver charcoal was lit, which made the room very warm.

Yu Ruyan looked at the person who suddenly appeared in her room in a daze, and couldn't help but wrinkle her brows-

On such a snowy day, he couldn't stay in the warm and comfortable Yunsong Courtyard, what did he do when he came to her?

She lowered her steps and walked over, she didn't know if he was asleep or not, Mu Lingzhi was very angry when he got up, she didn't dare to wake him up, but let him sit and sleep like this, I was afraid that he would catch a cold.

Thinking of this, Yu Ruyan stepped forward lightly and covered him with the quilt.

The small bed was occupied by Mu Lingzhi, and there was no extra place for her to sleep. She brought a stool and sat down by the brazier, thinking about her thoughts while the fire was cooking.

Suddenly, there was a sudden burst of sound in the brazier, which startled her, and she picked up the tongs and opened the charcoal fire to take a look, and immediately overjoyed!

Hey, this kid is really capable, and he quietly buried several sweet potatoes in the brazier.

The roasted sweet potato exudes an attractive sweet fragrance, and it is also sizzling with a shiny sweet syrup, which arouses all the greedy insects in Yu Ruyan's stomach, and she picks out one and swallows it in a hurry before it has time to cool.

Scalding her teeth, she touched her ears and stretched out her hand to the next sweet potato without stopping—

'Horn! The back of her hand hurt, and the sweet potato in her hand was about to fall to the ground if she didn't hold it steadily, Yu Ruyan was about to reach out to salvage it, and a hand stretched out from the horizontal thorn to grab the sweet potato in front of her steadily.

She looked up in hindsight, and she didn't know when Mu Lingzhi had woken up and stood in front of her. He patted the sweet potato that was still a little hot, glanced at the stunned Yu Ruyan coldly, and said coldly: "Who taught you to eat other people's things without their consent?!" ”

Yu Ruyan came back to her senses for a long time, watched someone snatch her sweet potato without blinking and gave her a look, and said angrily in her heart, the sweet potato is mine, the brazier is mine, and although the charcoal fire is your reward, it also belongs to me now, how can it be called eating other people's things?

Mu Lingzhi seemed to hear the complaint in her heart, and replied coolly: "I buried the sweet potato, so it all belongs to me!" ”

His hands are slender and well-skeleted, which is unusually good-looking, and the appearance of peeling sweet potatoes slowly at this time is even better!

It's just that unforgiving face is annoying!

Yu Ruyan wanted to go to the charcoal fire to dig one out again, but when she saw that he had declared the ownership of the sweet potato, she no longer dared to touch the sweet potato in the brazier, so she could only watch someone eat it with relish.

"Your Highness's body is golden······ How can you eat such a crude thing? After a while, Yu Ruyan finally couldn't help but ask curiously.

"When you march and fight, you haven't eaten anything, so you almost haven't eaten human flesh!" Mu Lingzhi threw the sweet potato skin and took out the second one.

Yu Ruyan nodded clearly, and when she saw him stretching out her hand, she hurriedly got up and poured water and sent it to him.

Seeing that he was eating vigorously, she became more and more uneasy in her heart—

There was such a big incident in the Ziluo Courtyard today, and his favorite concubine did such an insidious and vicious thing behind his back, not only killing a nurse, but even both of them almost died, which is really terrible!

Seeing that he was going to continue eating, Yu Ruyan salivated and went up to flatter: "Your Highness, reward a slave and maid!" ”

Mu Lingzhi glanced at her sideways, and threw the last sweet potato to her with a wave of his hand.

She hugged the sweet potato and ate it to her heart's content, Mu Lingzhi returned to lie on the bed, looked at her coldly and devoured her, looked at her with disgust, and suddenly said coldly: "Did you already know about the matter of Ziluo Courtyard?" ”

As soon as the action stopped, Yu Ruyan swallowed the sweet potato in her mouth hard, and nervously secretly turned her head to look at the look on his face, but she happened to be caught by his gaze.

"Your Highness, slave maid... The slave doesn't know! She replied cautiously.

"Huh." Mu Lingzhi sneered coldly, his eyes were cold, "How many truths do you have in front of this palace?" ”

Yu Ruyan's whole body was shocked, and she didn't dare to look up at his eyes, and the sweet potato in her hand was suddenly tasteless.

She knew that Mu Lingzhi, who had just experienced deception and betrayal, must be extremely sensitive, he didn't trust himself very much, if he said the wrong thing at this time, it was estimated that his life would be lost.

She swallowed her throat, tried to calm herself, got up and knelt in front of the bed, lowered her head and said in a sincere and fearful tone: "Your Highness, the slave and maid tell the truth, and never dare to deceive Your Highness." ”

The person on the bed didn't make a sound, Yu Ruyan lowered her body and didn't dare to raise her face to look at him, and after a long time, she heard him say indifferently: "Get up!" ”

Listening to his tone, he seemed to be in a much relieved mood, Yu Ruyan got up and looked at him carefully, only to see him lying on his side with a frown, and his expression was the first time he saw loneliness.

Yu Ruyan had the courage to persuade: "If Your Highness is reluctant to give up Mrs. Gu in her heart, you can forgive her this time, after all, she is pregnant now, which is unusual!" ”

Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi raised his eyes and looked at him in disbelief, his cold and waveless eyes were hidden in the shadows and saw unreal, and said coldly: "She designed to harm you and almost killed you, you don't even hate her?" ”

Yu Ruyan lowered her eyes and said indifferently: "I hate the people who hurt me, it's just ······ She is pregnant now, if His Royal Highness leaves her in the Ziluo Courtyard and ignores her, I am afraid that the child in her womb will not last long! ”

She bluntly told Mu Lingzhi that if she let Gu Qing'er go untreated like this, the child in her womb would be lost immediately!

Her straightforwardness made Mu Lingzhi's whole body swoke, and there were many things that could not be seen in the back house, and he also knew that Gu Qing'er was now an extraordinary period, so he was afraid that she would really be ······

But when she thought that her mind was so vicious, Mu Lingzhi's soft heart hardened again, her brows tightened, and she was silent.

Yu Ruyan only understood the hesitation in his heart at a glance, and grinned indifferently: "Although the matter of Wu Jinshao is dangerous, fortunately, His Highness and the slave maid are fine. Besides, His Royal Highness doesn't have to exempt her from punishment, just send a few more trustworthy minions to take good care of her. ”

Mu Lingzhi raised his eyes and took a deep look at the smiling woman in front of him, thinking of what she had done before, he couldn't help but be surprised-

In his impression, although she is not a great evil person, she is definitely not a cowardly person who is weak and easy to bully, and even has some grudges, otherwise she would not have set up a situation to beat her after Mu Ziyue's plan in the prince's mansion!

Gu Qing'er has always made things difficult for her everywhere, she punished her family law as soon as she entered the mansion, and later led Wu Jinshao to her life, and not long ago when she was seriously ill to drive her out of the house, doesn't she care about these?

Yu Ruyan smiled bitterly: "Your Highness doesn't need to doubt my sincerity, I just think that she is the person Your Highness likes in the end, and she is still pregnant with your child in her belly······"

"Do you know what it means to like?" Mu Lingzhi interrupted her words and asked abruptly.

Looking at his suddenly clear eyes, Yu Ruyan became flustered, jumped a few times cautiously, and asked calmly: "Doesn't Your Highness like a few masters?" "If you don't like it, why do you want to marry them, and now you come to ask me what it means to like!?

Mu Lingzhi suddenly stopped talking, his eyes became deep, and a chill was wrapped in his body. Seeing his sudden change of face, Yu Ruyan trembled in fright-

"Your Highness······"

Just about to open his mouth to beg for mercy, Mu Lingzhi suddenly spoke, his voice was low as if coming from the distant sky, his eyes were gray, and he said slowly: "I left the palace at the age of eighteen to build a mansion, and after half a year of building the mansion, I was ordered to go to the border to defend against the enemy, and I went for a year. When I come back from the border pass, there are already An's people in the house······ The royal family doesn't talk about love, only about interests, don't you know that you have been on an errand in the palace? I and them - only obligations! ”

Yu Ruyan couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, and blurted out: "That's why His Royal Highness cherishes Miss Mu extraordinarily, right?" ”

Mu Lingzhi glanced back at her lightly, and said word by word: "Me and Xiaoyue, Imperial Brother Chenzhi, and Yitai······ Growing up together, I have a relationship with her, aside from the love between men and women, as well as family and friendship, and I cherish this feeling! ”

His eyes became hollow, if it weren't for the accident ten years ago, Xiao Yue would have become the queen long ago, and he wouldn't be what he is today, in the end, he has always felt guilty about her in his heart, so he will tolerate her again and again and accommodate her, as if he was paying for the sins he owed to that person······

A trace of sourness welled up in her heart, she put away the loss in her eyes and grinned, and said indifferently: "That's why His Highness will tolerate everything she has done." "Even if she sells me into Qin Xianglou, even if she designs to harm me!

"So, to like is to tolerate!" Her voice lowered, as if to herself and to him.

"No!" Mu Lingzhi said negatively, he looked at her fixedly, and said seriously: "In my opinion, liking a person, loving a person, is like to eat with her, like to chat with her, like to open your eyes every day and see her at the first glance, and the last eye before going to bed is also her, and sharing a bed and pillow with her, you can be very relieved, very relieved, very comfortable!" ”

Two red clouds suddenly flew on her face, and Mu Lingzhi's words were as piercing as poison, leaving them in her heart and causing resonance, which she could never forget.

The love in his heart is exactly the same as hers!

She looked at the sweet potato skin on the ground, then at the futon on the bed, and then at the current situation of the two of them, and was stunned-

Why did he seem to be talking about the two of them!

The thought was too terrible, and it made her heart palpitate.

The room became silent in an instant, the charcoal fire in the brazier made a few slight 'crackling' sounds, and a little embarrassment swelled in the air. In order to break such a strange atmosphere, she lowered her head in a panic and said in a muffled voice: "Since His Royal Highness wants to tolerate Miss Mu, then Miss Mu owes the slave maid, and the slave maid will ask His Highness to pay it back?!" ”

"How do you want me to compensate you?" It was said casually, but I didn't expect Mu Lingzhi to agree.

Yu Ruyan looked up at the serious man in front of her in disbelief, and only reacted after a while, she turned her brain and thought about it, and said, "I want to ask His Highness to give me the right to leave the house freely, I think..." I want to go out of the house to see a friend. ”

"Who are you looking at?" He asked in a deep voice as he stared into her eyes.

"A little sister who married with me is also... is also the one who rescued me from Qinxiang Building! ”
