Chapter 136: Falling in Love with a Chess Piece
After Mu Yunzhi listened to Mu Xiang's plan, he had been looking for an opportunity to let Prince Yi and his father make a move, and now when he saw him show the sword he was carrying, he knew that the opportunity was coming, and after pretending to be frightened and shouting 'help', he snatched the spear in the hand of the Yulin Army next to him and stabbed it at the three people in the encirclement......
In terms of kung fu, the three people in the field are stronger than Mu Yunzhi, so his stab has not yet reached his eyes, it has been blocked by Mu Lingzhi's raised hand, he reached out and held the other end of the spear, his hand was a little hard, Mu Yunzhi was unable to move, the spear seemed to grow in his hand, and Mu Yunzhi couldn't pull it out if he wanted to.
He didn't expect Mu Lingzhi to stop him effortlessly, and couldn't help but hate: "You, a disobedient son, actually joined forces with the traitor to do it against his father, didn't you see that he drew his sword against his father?" ”
Mu Ling saw through his mind at a glance, and couldn't help but say coldly: "Prince Yi is obviously going to exchange this sword with his father for three conditions, how can he assassinate again?" I'm afraid that the emperor's brother is not drunk! ”
With that, he threw the spear in his hand hard, and a strong force attacked Mu Yunzhi with the spear, and he was unsteady on his feet, and he stumbled back several steps before he could stand firmly.
Being exposed by Mu Lingzhi in public, and being defeated by him without exhaustion, Mu Yunzhi's face was dull, his face turned red, and he said angrily: "Isn't it too arrogant to dare to talk to my father about conditions with just a sword?" You, a disobedient son, don't even share the same hatred with your father, but still stand with him, don't you make it clear that you want to be against your father? Father, they are so unfilial, they are openly against you, let the Yulin Army arrest them together, don't hesitate any longer! ”
His voice was loud and urgent, as if he was afraid that King Liang would not hear it, just like Mu Xiang said, even if he couldn't kill the two of them, he had to let this matter separate the relationship between his father and them.
However, no matter what he said, King Liang didn't seem to hear it, just looked at the Dragon Xiao Sword in Mu Yizhi's hand in a daze.
When Mu Yizhi showed the Dragon Xiao Sword, which truly symbolized the sword of the king, King Liang stood behind the Yulin Army, although his expression was calm and calm, but his hands under the dragon robe trembled slightly uncontrollably-
Of course he knew Long Xiaojian. At the beginning, in order to get it, King Liang spent all his life!
The world only knows that Emperor Kaizu ordered the world's most sword-making craftsman to make two extremely sharp swords with precious black iron that fell from the sky and gave them to his two sons.
When the dragon sword on the knife was pulled out, there was only the sound of the dragon, and Mu Yizhi's sword not only had the sound of the dragon, but also the faint sound of the tiger.
The dragon is the king of the water, the tiger is the overlord of the 6 fields, and the person who can master the dragon and tiger at the same time is the real king of the world!
At the beginning, Emperor Kaizu gave the Long Xiao Sword to the crown prince, that is, Mu Yizhi's father, and the Long Xiao Sword was given to the current King of Liang.
The Xuanji Liang Wang brothers and some old ministers of these two swords all know, when the emperor gave the Long Xiao sword to Mu Yi, it was the time to crown him as the crown prince, and the origin of these two swords was also known to him.
Therefore, seeing Mu Yizhi's Long Xiao Sword come out, King Liang's face turned pale-
After the death of the first emperor, King Liang searched the entire palace at that time, and there was no such sword, and Prince Yi fell into the sea of fire and burned, and he couldn't recognize the body.
Now watching him come back with this sword that symbolizes the identity of the emperor, King Liang fell into the ice cave all over, if Prince Yi told the origin and meaning of the Long Xiao Sword in front of the whole world, I am afraid that those ministers who once crowded the emperor and were dissatisfied with him ten years ago who raised troops to kill his brother and seize the throne will definitely seize this handle, support Prince Yi to take the throne, and drive himself down!
If this is really the case, King Liang knows that the time when he steps down will be the time of his destruction, and at that time, his children and concubines in the harem will be killed as he did with the emperor ten years ago!
Thinking of this, King Liang's eyes were shining, and his whole body was murderous-
It seems that today is going to be the same killing spree as it was ten years ago!
Prince Wing wants to die, if any minister dares to stand up and speak for Prince Wing, kill him too!
But if it's your own son......
Looking at Mu Lingzhi and the knife who had been guarding Mu Yizhi's side, King Liang gritted his teeth and secretly hated that he was usually too used to them!
At this time, Lord Shaoqing Wang of Dali Temple said to King Liang: "Your Majesty." The Long Xiao Sword in his hand is indeed real, and everyone in the world knew that the emperor gave this sword to Prince Yi, and now it seems that the same appearance, as well as this Dragon Xiao Sword, is enough to prove that he is the former Prince Yi. ”
Lord Wang's words made King Liang's heart tremble, in fact, at the moment when Mu Yizhi appeared, he had already recognized him as the only prince of Empress Zhu.
Looking at Mu Yizhi in front of him steadily, King Liang's gaze seemed to be looking at another person through him, and that one was......
The hardened heart and intestines softened unconsciously after the figure flashed in his mind, and the murderous aura in King Liang's deep body was instantly extinguished.
He sighed heavily in his heart, and secretly said to himself, decades have passed, and it is time for the past grievances and grievances to come to an end.
King Liang waved his hand heavily, let the people of Dali Temple and Yulin Army go down, and sighed: "Since he is the orphan of the former emperor, this matter belongs to my family affairs, you all retreat!" ”
After listening to King Liang's words, everyone else retreated, and in an instant, only King Liang's family, Mu Yizhi and Yu Ruyan were left in the wide square.
Yu Ruyan thought about it, and finally felt that it was very inappropriate to stay in her current identity, so she also retreated silently with the others, but was stopped by Mu Yizhi.
"Five princesses, please go!"
Mu Yizhi suddenly said something to catch Yu Ruyan, which surprised her. And Mu Lingzhi seemed to think of something in his heart, and his face slowly sank......
Sure enough, as he expected, Mu Yizhi looked at King Liang and said word by word: "I came here today, there is no other purpose, I just want to take this Long Xiao Sword and Liang Qin to hand over the three conditions, I don't know if King Liang can agree?" ”
King Liang looked at his clear eyes, lost his mind for a moment, and said, "You talk about it first!" ”
"First, I want to remove the imperial family, Mu Yizhi is alive today and died today, and from now on, there will be no one like me in the Liang royal family."
As soon as these words came out, they couldn't help King Liang and them, and even Yu Ruyan was stunned.
Prince Yi suddenly appeared at the prince's seal ceremony today, and also brought the dragon sword given to him by the emperor, symbolizing the true son of heaven, everyone thought that he was taking this opportunity to force the palace to King Liang and take back the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that belonged to him, but what people didn't expect was that he took the initiative to remove the imperial family and become a common man!
Among these people, only Mu Lingzhi was not surprised after hearing his words, as smart as him, he had already guessed what he was here for today, and now hearing his conditions, it further proved the guess in his heart, his eyes couldn't help but be deep, and his face was even more gloomy-
Although he was glad that Prince Yi could let go of his past hatred, and it was even more rare that he was willing to let go of the thousands of miles of the Great Liang, but when he thought of the other possibility he was asking for, Mu Lingzhi was already bloodless, and his mood was extremely heavy......
Without waiting for everyone to recover from the shock, Mu Yizhi slowly spoke again-
"Second, although I no longer belong to the royal family, I hope that King Liang will give me a special order so that I can go to the imperial tomb at any time to worship my father and mother."
"Third...... I want to take a person. ”
As soon as these words came out, several other people looked at him in confusion, wondering who he would ask for from King Liang?
Mu Yizhi looked at King Liang with a resolute expression, and said word by word: "If King Liang can agree to my three conditions, I will voluntarily hand over the Long Xiao Sword, and I will never enter the royal family again in this life, and I have nothing to do with the royal family!" ”
When King Liang and the concubine heard his words, their faces were incredible, and they couldn't believe that he took the initiative to ask to give up everything in the Liang royal family.
Now this situation is the best, but King Liang never dreamed of a perfect result, and the big stone pressed in his heart slowly dissipated.
And Mu Lingzhi's face turned pale when he heard Prince Yi's words.
Seeing that his expression suddenly changed, Yu Ruyan panicked, hurriedly walked to his side, took his cold hand, and asked in a worried whisper, "What's wrong with Your Highness?" But what's uncomfortable? ”
After that, I couldn't help but reach out to probe his forehead. The forehead was not hot, but layers of cold sweat spilled out.
Mu Lingzhi's heart was sour and painful-
From that day I met Prince Yi in the palace of Daqi, listening to the meaning of his words, and then I heard Yu Ruyan talk about how he had saved her in private, and then I thought that he was desperate to save her from under the collapse just now, and used his body to block the wooden pillar for her, and his intuition told him that the person that Prince Yi was going to take away was Yu Ruyan.
Unexpectedly, God played the most pathetic and hateful joke on him, not only his younger brother and he fell in love with the same woman, but even his cousin wanted to compete with him for Jade Ruyan.
Mu Lingzhi's heart was desolate, and his mind was chaotic.
Seeing Yu Ruyan's face full of worry about himself, Mu Lingzhi was so bitter in his heart that he couldn't do it, he didn't know how to tell her that he was worried and scared, and he didn't know how to refuse the request made by Prince Yi, who he had been guilty about and wanted to repay.
If Prince Yi opened his mouth and asked a jade Ruyan to offset all the grievances that their father and son owed him, his father would definitely agree, but what about him, what should he do? How did he refuse to be blocked?
He would rather give up his life to repay the sword back then, rather than let him take Yu Ruyan away.
Thinking of this, Mu Ling's heart was painful, and he held Yu Ruyan's hand tightly with his backhand, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble with fear!
Yu Ruyan didn't know what happened to him suddenly, she just thought that he was unwell, thinking that he had been busy and worrying about it all these days, and he hadn't closed his eyes and rested for a while, and he suddenly felt distressed to death.
She whispered in his ear, "If Your Highness is tired, lean on me." When I go back to Yunsong Courtyard, I must lock you in your room, and I won't let you out if you don't sleep for a day and a night. ”
Listening to her words, Mu Lingzhi's heart became even more bitter, but he reluctantly showed a smile to her, and said dotingly: "Well, you are also tired, after we go back, we will sleep together for a day and a night, close the gate of Yunsong Courtyard, and no one will let in." ”
Although the two were whispering, Yu Ruyan's face rose red, and she hummed softly shyly.
Mu Yizhi started to say the third condition, his eyes stayed on Yu Ruyan and never moved away, when he saw her affection and love for Mu Ling, his heart hurt violently, and his mouth couldn't help but be fishy sweet.
He chose to let go of the hatred he had borne for ten years because of love, but he also fell into another kind of pain because of love.
From the beginning of approaching Yu Ruyan purposefully, to being uncontrollably affected by her joys, sorrows, and sorrows, making him gradually forget his original intention, and even in the end, watching her because of the trap she designed for revenge, she was misunderstood and bullied by the world, making her miserable and wronged, Mu Yizhi's heart began to regret-
He hated himself for falling in love with a chess piece, and he hated himself for treating the person he loved as a pawn!
In the end, revenge was no longer the most important thing in his life, and he suddenly realized that what he longed for most in his heart was no longer the revenge of killing King Liang and Mu Lingzhi, but wanting to be with Yu Ruyan, wanting to be by her side day and night, wanting to watch her smile, wanting her to know her true self, and wanting to see what she used to be from her beautiful eyes......
But now seeing Yu Ruyan's love for Mu Lingzhi from the bottom of his heart, the courage he finally mustered hesitated again......
In fact, he himself knew that even if he asked to take her away, she would not agree, but he just wanted a thorough answer, an answer that made him die enough.
Seeing that he didn't say which person he wanted, King Liang couldn't help asking, "Which person are you going to take away?" ”
King Liang is also a smart person, seeing that the fierce color in Mu Yizhi's eyes has turned into gentle affection at this time, he can't help but be curious: "Is there someone you like in this palace?" Do you still remember the marriage contract with the Mu family when you were a child, and you want to take Mu Ziyue away? ”
King Liang's words shocked Mu Yizhi's whole body, and his expression, which had finally softened, was instantly as cold as ice, he snorted coldly, and his eyes swept coldly over Mu Yunzhi, the eldest prince who did not say a word, and said coldly: "Since I am no longer a member of the royal family, how can I be worthy of the daughter of the Mu family with my current identity, heh, but then again, even if I am still the prince of Liang, I will not marry her again." ”
His tone was resolute and disdainful, as if he was very disgusted with Mu Ziyue, and when King Liang saw him say this, he couldn't help but be curious in his heart.
And Mu Lingzhi went from panic and despair at the beginning, to now he has made up his mind, no matter what, Prince Yi can ask him for anything, but Yu Ruyan, he will not let go.
Thinking like this in his heart, he couldn't help but clench her hand tightly, for fear that she would be robbed.
People who practice martial arts have a lot of strength, Mu Ling was so flustered that he forgot to control his strength, and held Yu Ruyan's hands out of the red seal, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but exhale softly, and Mu Lingzhi reacted. Frightened, he hurriedly picked up her hand to inspect it, and looked at the red mark on the back of her hand, and his heart ached.
However, at this moment, Yu Ruyan's other hand was held by Mu Yizhi, she turned her head in surprise, but saw that the prince who had just saved her looked at her fixedly, and there was inexplicable sadness on her face......
Mu Yizhi's clear face looked flustered but firm, he looked at Yu Ruyan with a surprised face, and watched his pale face reflected in her peerless eyes, and his heart ached.
Yu Ruyan was frightened by his hot gaze, and struggled to shake off his hand, but his hand was the same as Mu Lingzhi, cold but powerful, holding her tightly.
He gritted his teeth to suppress the growing pain in his heart, and his lips trembled: "Fifth princess, I saved you today, if I want to take you away, are you willing...... Cough...... Ahem......"
Before he finished speaking, Mu Yizhi suddenly coughed violently, he held his chest with one hand, but the hand holding Yu Ruyan was reluctant to let go, even if his body bowed in pain, he still gritted his teeth and pretended to be fine, looking at Yu Ruyan fixedly, waiting for her answer.
Although he had guessed in his heart, Yu Ruyan still didn't want to believe that it was himself who he was going to take away, so he couldn't help but stay on the spot!
I still remember the first time I saw him in the palace, he also said that he wanted to take himself away, at that time, she was suffering in the palace by concealing her identity, and he wanted to take himself away, it can be said that he was kind to himself for a while, and he wanted to take himself out of the sea of suffering. But now, she finally came to the bitter end, and she and Mu Ling had a long-term relationship and a happy relationship, but he said that he wanted to take him away, or in front of King Liang and the concubine, so what would King Liang, the concubine and others think of her?
The concubine already had a bad impression of her, but now that she sees herself and Prince Yi pulling, she is afraid that she will be even more displeased with herself, and other people who don't know will definitely misunderstand the relationship between them, so how will she live in Daliang in the future?
And now that Prince Yi's previous plan has long been seen through by Mu Lingzhi and her, he has no effect on him anymore, and his relationship with him is not even a chess piece, so what's the use of him taking him away?
Could it be that he just wanted to take revenge on Mu Lingzhi?
However, he let go of his hatred for King Liang, how could he remember to seek revenge on Mu Lingzhi again?
The more Yu Ruyan thought about it, the more she didn't understand, but for a moment, her mind was already a mess, and she couldn't figure out why the former prince of Daliang was always holding on to herself?
Although he had saved herself a few times, she also knew that she was just a pawn for him to take revenge on Mu Lingzhi, so Yu Ruyan was not grateful to him, let alone willing to go with him.
What's more, when he remembered that the previous rumors about the Jade Girl and his own infamy were all from the handiwork of the former crown prince, Yu Ruyan didn't have much of a good impression of him, but he just felt that he was also a poor innocent person with a desire for power, but it was impossible to let her go with him.
Mu Lingzhi was so angry that he couldn't speak, he didn't show the strangeness of Prince Wing's body under his anger, his face was gloomy and he was about to open his mouth to refuse for her, Yu Ruyan had already opened his mouth angrily.
The pretty face was flushed, and Yu Ruyan said to Mu Yizhi righteously: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, and thank you Your Highness for saving me just now, but Your Highness should understand in your heart that I don't owe you any kindness, because, before His Highness treated me as a pawn and hurt me so hard, and now if you save me, it can only be regarded as two by two." ”
"Instead of asking for a useless chess piece, His Highness should ask the Holy Lord for a person who has an effect on His Highness, why should His Highness be so obsessed with a useless chess piece! I will never go with you, Your Highness! ”
Hearing this, Mu Yizhi's pale face had turned gray, and his lips moved to explain something to her, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the fishy sweetness in his throat gushed out......
It was embarrassing enough to be rejected by her like this, Mu Yizhi wanted to leave the last trace of dignity in front of her, and pursed his lips to not let her see more embarrassment and pity for herself!
But the hand holding her has been reluctant to let go......
Seeing that he was pestering Yu Ruyan to death, the anger in Mu Ling's heart was out of control, and Xiao Dao was also furious when he heard that the person Prince Yi was going to take away was actually his sister, and he was about to step forward to help Yu Ruyan get rid of his hand, but he didn't expect that at this moment, Yu Ruyan felt that the strength on his wrist was loosened, blood gushed out of Mu Yizhi's mouth, let go of her hand that was holding her, and covered her chest with both hands, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the person fell to the ground in a hurry at the next moment......
This sudden change startled everyone, and Mu Lingzhi was the first to react, and he couldn't care about blaming him anymore
coveted Yu Ruyan, but was anxious and loudly asked the palace people to go to the imperial doctor, and including Yu Ruyan, the other people present were also frightened by Prince Yi's description, and the scene was panicked......
Mu Yizhi was sent to Mu Lingzhi's Chaoyang Palace for treatment, and Mu Lingzhi was afraid of regeneration, so he personally stayed by Prince Yi's side and accompanied him to Chaoyang Palace. And Yu Ruyan experienced the twists and turns of this day, she was already tired to the point of prostration, physically and mentally exhausted, and was about to tell Brother An to prepare a carriage to go back to the palace, because of Prince Yi and her affairs, she wanted to avoid suspicion and dare not go to Mu Lingzhi's Chaoyang Palace again, so she could only go back to the palace to rest, but she didn't have time to leave, but she was already called into Yaohua Palace by Concubine Xie!
Looking at Yu Ruyan's tired face, Concubine Xie looked indifferent, she stared at Yu Ruyan for a long time before she said coldly: "Today's matter, doesn't Princess Jade plan to give an explanation to the palace?" ”
Hearing this, Yu Ruyan smiled bitterly, and she knew that Concubine Xie had misunderstood her relationship with Prince Yi after all!
With a sigh, Yu Ruyan started from the rumors of the Great Qi Jade Girl, and told Concubine Xie Guifei word for word about Mu Yizhi's revenge for treating her as a chess piece.
In the end, she said weakly: "Niangniang, all this is why the princess of my dignified country was reduced to a military prostitute and slave, why His Royal Highness has never seen me once, and he hates me to the bone and wants to kill me quickly, and the jade pendant that His Royal Highness gave me on the assassin's body, all of this is just a trap arranged by Prince Yi for revenge, and I am just a small chess piece in this trap." ”
After hearing all this she said, Concubine Xie's eyes widened in shock, and she said incredulously: "I didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns between you and Ling Zhi, and the palace had misunderstood you before." ”
But the concubine changed her words, looked at her with a frown, and said: "But now that he has spoken, let His Majesty agree to his three requests, I am afraid that Your Majesty will agree to his words because of what happened ten years ago." However, Ling Zhi also knows about your feelings, and he is afraid that with his temperament, he will never agree to let you take the Wing Prince away, then he will inevitably offend his father. ”
Concubine Xie looked at her with a headache, and said helplessly: "This matter is so delicate, what are you going to do?" ”
