Not only did Mu Ziyang's scandal spread to the palace and King Liang was furious, and he immediately abolished his position as a concubine, and even the fact of Mu Ziyue's leprosy was reported to King Liang and the concubine Niangniang, after learning the truth, the concubine Niangniang did not agree with her son to marry a leper, and King Liang also felt that the royal family marrying such an indecent woman was also an insult to the royal family, so even the holy decree of the abolished concubine was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, as well as the royal family's will to withdraw from the marriage!

For a time, Xiangfu became a joke for the entire Dongdu people-

Before the young master of the Xiangfu married the princess, and the young lady of the Xiangfu married the prince, it was really infinite, and the lintel added light. The Prime Minister's Mansion has also become a popular place for everyone in the Eastern Capital to flatter for a while, but now overnight, the marriage between the son and daughter and the royal family has been postponed, and the once most outstanding son has become a hypocrite in the mouths of everyone, and the baby daughter of the proud daughter of the sky has also become a leprosy head that everyone laughs at!

Xiangfu can really be said to have fallen from heaven to hell overnight, and it is difficult to turn over!

When she heard all kinds of rumors about the Prime Minister's Mansion in the market, Brother An's face showed a rare amount of happiness, she glanced at Yu Ruyan, but she didn't care about the news, she just looked at the gate of the courtyard with a nervous expression-

From yesterday morning to this morning, a day and a night have passed, and the knife has not come back, and she has a bad premonition in her heart, always feeling that something has happened to the knife!

Brother An had packed up everything, and when Xiaodao came back, they left Daliang and returned to Qi together, but until noon, they still didn't wait for Xiaodao to come back.

Yu Ruyan's heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, there was such a big thing in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he would be furious, if they broke into the mansion to save people at this time, I was afraid that they would be ruthless......

Layers of cold sweat soaked her back, and she was anxiously about to go to Wuwei Medical Center to find Yue Yu to help her inquire about the news of the knife, when suddenly the courtyard door was pushed open, but the knife staggered back.

I saw that his face was pale, his expression was flustered like never before, the broken forehead had been completely wet with sweat, and his eyes looked at Yu Ruyan with a little fear and worry, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

When Yu Ruyan saw him come back, her heart hanging in the air finally fell to the ground safely. She noticed that Xiao Dao's expression was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him wipe his sweat while asking with concern, "Why have you been there for so long?" But in trouble? ”

Xiaodao pursed his mouth tightly and shook his head, then remembered something, nodded again, and said in a hoarse voice with a gray face: "Su Niang was sent out of the city safely, and I also let her parents and younger brother go, but ...... Just ......"

"Just what's wrong?" Looking at his flustered appearance, Yu Ruyan's heart that had just been put down hung again.

"Sister, let's leave the Eastern Capital quickly, they ...... They're here! The knife shook and gritted his teeth to say the words in his mouth.

"Now you?" Yu Ruyan's heart was cold, she suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise: "The people of Mufu have seen your true face." ”

The knife's face turned pale, and he was stunned: "Yes! ”

He hurriedly said: "Sister, let's go quickly, leave Daliang and go back to Qi Kingdom!" ”

With that, he hurried into the house, called out Brother An, and took the things he had prepared to make a posture to leave here.

Yu Ruyan suddenly stopped him, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally looked at Xiao Dao's eyes fixedly, and asked bitterly: "Xiao Dao, are you sure you want to leave with me or not?" ”

Hearing this, Xiaodao's whole body froze, his face turned pale, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Yu Ruyan, so he said, "Why did my sister say that?" ”

Every subtle expression on Xiaodao's face could not escape Yu Ruyan's eyes, and her heart sank, and the more certain the previous doubts in her heart became.

was about to leave Daliang and return to Qi State, and at this time, Yu Ruyan didn't want to hide anything from Xiaodao, so she told all the doubts about him in her heart.

"Knife, you tell your sister honestly, are you ...... Do you remember something? Do you regain your memory and know who you are? ”

Xiaodao's whole body was shocked, and his face turned pale, but he denied it without thinking about it: "No, I don't think of anything, I only have my sister in my memory, and no one else!" ”

The more he answered with such certainty, the more disbelieving Yu Ruyan felt in her heart, and she looked at Xiao Dao's dodging gaze and said gently: "But I feel that you have a sense of familiarity with many people and things in Daliang." ”

"You know that the stone cave in the palace garden is so secret, and you are also familiar with the topography of the palace. And Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen has saved you again and again, what is this for? I've inquired, and his son doesn't look like you at all, and I don't believe it! ”

Yu Ruyan looked at Xiao Dao's eyes steadily, looked at his panicked look when he heard the words, and said slowly: "If Dongdu is your former homeland, then, I don't want to take you back to Qi again, I hope you stay to find your own memory and life experience, I believe that your relatives must be waiting for you to go back!" ”

"Nope! I don't want to stay here, I'm going with my sister, and I'll go wherever my sister goes. When Xiaodao heard that Yu Ruyan was going to leave him in Daliang, his expression instantly panicked, and he almost roared: "What kind of family he is, in my heart I only recognize my sister alone, I only like my sister, I want to accompany my sister for the rest of my life, you don't want to leave me!" ”

After the knife roared, he realized that he was excited to say the words that he had suppressed in his heart, and his face couldn't help but turn red, and he couldn't speak anymore.

However, Yu Ruyan didn't understand the true meaning of his sentence 'I like my sister', in her heart, Xiaodao was her younger brother, and she never thought about the relationship with him to the private relationship between men and women, thinking that what he said liked was that his brother liked his sister, because Xiaodao had often said such things to her before.

Looking at Xiao Dao's sullen appearance, Yu Ruyan sighed secretly and said silently: "Sister doesn't want to leave you, on the contrary, my sister has been reluctant to leave you." It's just that you have to know who you are and know your identity after all, when you were in Qi Kingdom, I felt that you were strange to everything there, and when you arrived in Daliang, I felt that you were very familiar with here, so I wanted you to stay, maybe after a long time, you will remember the people and things in the past, and know who you are. Wouldn't that be great? ”

After the knife roared, the depressed emotions in my heart were vented a lot, and at this time, listening to her gentle persuasion, I couldn't help but get serious, and said seriously: "Actually, I have already decided in my heart that I will no longer look for the previous memories, I only think I am a jade knife in this life, and I want to follow my sister for the rest of my life." So my sister don't try to persuade me anymore. Don't worry about me anymore! ”

After saying this, the knife turned and walked out, jumped into the wheel, and prepared to drive.

Yu Ruyan saw that he had made up his mind, and it was not good to say anything.

In fact, deep in her heart, she hopes that Xiaodao can find her memories and find her relatives, but she is afraid that Xiaodao will leave her one day, and she is very conflicted!

The knife drove the carriage fast, and there was a feeling of escaping from the cage.

In the carriage, Brother An looked at the gloomy expression on Yu Ruyan's face, and couldn't help but say, "Why did the princess leave quietly without telling Yue Gongzi?" I didn't even let him give you a ride, so I left quietly, but I was afraid that I would be sad when my son went to the small courtyard and couldn't find the princess. Yesterday, when the slave maid listened to your instructions and went to the hospital to return the dress, the child's appearance was ugly, and it seemed that he was ...... It seems to be sad. ”

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's mouth was filled with a bitter smile, and her face was obscure: "Different paths can't end up together, he is a good person, he has his life, I don't want to drag him down and let him worry." It's like the dress he gave me, so gorgeous and precious, I can't possess it. So staying by his side is a delay for the dress, and it is also a delay for him, so it's better to give it back to him so that he can find a more suitable person to wear it! ”

Brother An's face was slightly gloomy, and his eyes looked at her with a little heartache, "No wonder the princess insisted on returning the dress to Childe, but I saw Childe's appearance when he took the dress at that time...... He really wanted to give it to the princess. ”

Yu Ruyan turned her head and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar bustling streets of Dongdu in a daze, and couldn't help but think of what Qingcha didn't know if she told her intentionally or unintentionally-

He said that the scarlet dress inlaid with precious shark beads was left to his future daughter-in-law when Yue Yu's mother died.

After hearing what Qingcha said, Yu Ruyan sat on pins and needles, and as soon as she entered the house, she changed the dress on her body, and immediately asked Brother An to send her back to the Wuwei Medical Center to Yue Yu.

Although it is more than enough to match Yue Yu as her princess, but now she is not complete, and Yue Yu is fully aware of the relationship between her and Mu Lingzhi, and the most important thing is that all her feelings are given to Mu Lingzhi without reservation, and there is no extra to give to others. For Yue Yu, she is destined to live up to it, so why bother giving him hopeless hope again!

So only to leave quietly and let him forget about himself......

Seeing that he was at the gate of the city, the carriage stopped suddenly, and in the next second, Xiaodao opened the curtain with a pale face and entered the carriage, looking anxious and flustered: "Sister, there are portraits of you and Su Niang posted on the city gate, I'm just afraid of ...... I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the city! ”

When Brother An heard this, he immediately panicked like a little rabbit, and said in fear: "Princess, did His Royal Highness the Third Highness regret and send someone to arrest you back?" ”

Yu Ruyan's heart sank with a 'groan', her eyes dimmed, and she replied without thinking about it: "It won't be him, he took the initiative to let me go, how could he suddenly talk about me!" ”

When the words fell, she had already guessed in her heart that it must be Su Niang's affair that was revealed, and it was the knife that showed her face in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Xiang estimated that she had guessed that Mu Ziyang's matter was done by her, so she would be arrested and Su Niang go back......

But if they saw the handle of the knife, why didn't they read him through?

Thinking back, she said in a deep voice: "Mu Xiang is scheming, Mu Ziyue and Mu Ziyang are not stupid people, it is estimated that Su Niang's matter is finally noticed by me, so they will go around to talk about us, presumably now the city is also full of officers and soldiers who want to arrest me back." ”

Listening to her words, Xiaodao said hatefully: "I didn't expect this Mufu to move so fast, the notice hadn't been posted before when I sent Su Niang out of the city, I should have known that I should have gone home first and picked you up together." ”

After speaking, Xiaodao's face was already full of chagrin.

When Brother An thought of the Xiangfu's stakes, his heart was already trembling, and he trembled: "Princess, now that the city gate can't get out, and there are officers and soldiers in the city who have arrested us, what should we do?" There's nowhere to hide. As soon as he finished speaking, Brother An was already anxious and frightened and shed tears.

"Knife, drive the carriage to a hidden spot first, and then make plans!" Yu Ruyan pressed the panic in her heart and calmly commanded the knife.

Knife listened to her words and turned out of the carriage, turned the head of the car and drove towards the city, not far away, a carriage rushed towards him, almost hit it head-on, Knife was about to reprimand, and then when he saw the person sitting on the horse, his face was shocked, and he said in surprise: "Qingcha, why are you here?" ”

Qingcha crossed the carriage in front of their carriage, jumped off the carriage with an annoyed face, walked straight over with a bag of things in his hand, handed the things to the knife, pulled his face and said angrily: "Hmph, it's a shame that my master is worried about you all the time, and he said leave without saying a word, and he didn't say a word of greeting, it's really ......."

The words in his mouth seemed to be said to the knife, but his eyes looked straight at the curtain of the carriage, and it was clear that he was saying it to Yu Ruyan in the carriage, and the sentence in his mouth was almost about to blurt out, but when he looked back at the low-hanging curtain of his carriage, he still didn't have the courage to scold this sentence.

Qingcha's words were heard word by word into Yu Ruyan's ears, and she was slightly stunned when she heard the words, her face flashed with shame, and her heart was flustered. She lifted the curtain of the car, looked at Qingcha with an angry face outside the car, and said guiltily: "Qingcha, I must remember the kindness of the son, but I have to leave the Eastern Capital to go back to my hometown now...... I can't afford to repay Childe's kindness now, but I have always remembered it in my heart. We didn't say goodbye, just because we didn't want to cause trouble to Childe anymore. He is in poor health, so he shouldn't worry too much, if you are unhappy, just scold me a few words on behalf of your son, so ...... You feel comfortable...... I'm more comfortable, too. ”

Qingcha saw her say this, but it was not good to scold anymore, but she looked at her angrily, angry that she didn't understand her master's intentions, and hated iron and steel: "Childe is worried about your kindness, everything he does for you is his willingness, just because he ......likes it."

He couldn't help it when he was in a hurry, but in the end, he still remembered Yue Yu's instructions, swallowed the following words stiffly, put aside his face and hummed: "Looking at your usual smart appearance, I don't want to be a brain made of paste, a mess!" ”

Yu Ruyan let him scold, with a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were sore and uncomfortable, and she said to Qingcha: "It's really my mistake, please apologize to Gongzi on my behalf, and hope he forgives." Childe is sick, and there is no one else around, you must take good care of him. ”

Qingcha saw her face with sadness, knowing that she was not feeling good in her heart, she couldn't help but say in a soft tone: "Forget it, the master doesn't blame you, what qualifications do I have to come to you." ”

He pointed to the package in the knife's hand and said, "Inside is a gift from the prince to you for the harvest, maybe it will help you get out of the city." ”

He carefully took out a sign from his arms and handed it to Yu Ruyan's hand, and instructed: "This is a gift from my master, you can keep it, if you need it, just take this bamboo card to the Yue family's shop." With that, he turned around, jumped into the carriage and drove away.

Yu Ruyan looked at the thing in his hand in a daze, it was a small brand made of ink bamboo, which was engraved with a winged flying horse, which looked very simple and generous, Yu Ruyan picked up the bamboo card and looked at it carefully, and doubts flashed in her eyes.

Brother An opened the package, there was a stack of silver tickets and several sets of clothes worn by ordinary people, and under the clothes there were three thin things as thin as cicada wings and soft lying on their stomachs, Xiaodao and Brother An were both curious, holding them in their hands and looking left and right, surprised. When Yu Ruyan put away the bamboo cards and saw the things in their hands, her heart suddenly shook-

Human Skin Mask!

When she was a child, she had seen the master do this kind of thing, and she wanted to teach her this craft when she grew up, but unfortunately she was later taken into the palace, and when she returned to Putuo Temple later, the master had traveled all over the world, and he died in a temple in the neighboring Wei State four years ago.

Now seeing the human skin mask again, Yu Ruyan's heart swelled with an inexplicable sense of familiarity, she had heard the master say before, there were very few people in the world who knew this craft, but she didn't expect Yue Yu to know this long-lost secret technique.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, and many things seemed to be about to break through the ground, but when she thought too much, her brain couldn't help but hurt.

Seeing that the knife and Brother An were at a loss with the mask, she came back to her senses and helped them put them on one by one, and after she also put on the human skin mask, the three of you look at me, I look at you are completely dumbfounded.

The appearance of the three of them has changed drastically, and their outstanding looks have become more ordinary, just like those passers-by on the street, except for the eyes, the other facial features are no longer their original appearance.

With the human skin masks that Yue Yu had carefully prepared for them, and the change into the people's regular clothes that he had carefully prepared, they had no fear in their hearts, and drove the carriage towards the city gate......

Qingcha turned the carriage around and returned to the original place, watching Yu Ruyan and their carriage go farther and farther, Qingcha couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but lift the curtain and said to the white-clothed boy sitting quietly inside: "Master, girl, she is leaving the Eastern Capital, are you really not coming out to take a look?" ”

Yue Yu sat quietly, half-tucked his eyelids, Qingcha couldn't see the look in his eyes clearly, but he felt that the master at the moment was very pitiful, lonely for so many years, and finally opened his heart to like someone, but in the end it ended like this.

Qingcha hesitated how to comfort him, Yue Yu raised his head and smiled bitterly, his clear eyes could not hide the gloomy loss, he heard everything Yu Ruyan said with Qingcha just now, smart as her, how could he not know his heart for her? She was in a hurry to leave, perhaps because she was afraid to face herself.

So, since he knew what she was thinking, how could he bear to embarrass her?

opened his mouth and whispered to Qingcha: "Inform all the shopkeepers in Qi Kingdom, if you see Yu Pai like me, no matter what trouble she encounters or what help she needs, I will spare no effort to help her." ”

Qingcha nodded silently, looking at the unconcealable sense of loss on his face, he couldn't help but ask again: "Master, with your kindness to the girl, as long as you open your mouth and let her stay, she will definitely not refuse, why doesn't the master keep her?" ”

Hearing this, Yue Yu smiled helplessly, her voice was full of endless loneliness, and she said slowly: "Now her heart is full, and there is no extra place to accommodate me, so if I force her to stay by her side, it will be another kind of harm to her." Some things are forced to be asked for, I just hope that one day her heart will be empty, and ...... again."

Qingcha understood the meaning of his words, and felt very aggrieved for him, and said in a daze: "Master, what year and month are you going to wait for?" What if Miss Xiaoqing has been living in her heart, and others can't come out? Isn't it a grievance that delays the master! ”

Yue Yu smiled lightly and said lightly: "How can the account of feelings be settled?" You shouldn't blame her before, everything is my own volition, you can't blame her! ”

"But the master has paid so much for her, she doesn't ......" Qingcha was still unwilling.

Yue Yu's clear eyes seemed to be as dim as dust, and his voice was lonely and lonely for no reason-

"No, I owe her more!"

With the cover of the human skin mask, Yu Ruyan and the three of them successfully passed the search. When the wheel turned again, Brother An whispered to Yu Ruyan with an excited face: "Princess, I didn't expect the human skin mask of Yue Gongzi to be so useful, you are obviously standing in front of those officials, but no one recognizes you." ”

But even so, when she was just checked, Yu Ruyan still broke out in a cold sweat all over her body, and at this time, when she heard Brother An say this, the last big stone in her heart was put down, and her expression relaxed, but she didn't notice that the knife driving the car couldn't stop trembling slightly-

He sat on the wheel of the carriage and watched the officials guarding the city gate with their portraits in their hands and carefully examined the men leaving the city one by one, which was more solemn and urgent than the search for women.

He clearly saw that the portrait in the hand of the official was written on his former name-

The Eighth Prince Mu Chenzhi!

In fact, as early as after Xiaodao chased Yu Ruyan all the way to Daliang, he would always feel familiar with many things around him inexplicably, such as why Yu Ruyan asked him before, why did he know the most secret stone cave in the palace and be familiar with the terrain in the palace-

That's because he has been close to Mu Lingzhi since he was a child, and after he built the mansion, he often went out of the palace to play in the palace, and even lived for several months, and he was more familiar with everything in the palace than his brother Mu Lingzhi.

That night, after he broke into Mu Lingzhi's bedroom and was revealed, he hid in a stone cave under the pursuit of the secret guards, and even Mu Lingzhi himself failed to show him.

That hidden stone cave was inadvertently revealed when he was hiding in the palace, and even Mu Lingzhi didn't know it.

Later, he gradually vaguely remembered some people and things in his mind, and he felt excited in his heart but also had an inexplicable fear, he had a hunch that when his life was revealed, it was also the time when he left Yu Ruyan......

But if he is allowed to leave Yu Ruyan, it is more fearful than taking his life, only he understands how much Yu Ruyan occupies in his life-

Xiaodao was assassinated and survived, a person wandered to the country of Qi, he was seriously injured and often beaten half to death in order to rob others of food, three years ago he was just a twelve-year-old child, he lost his memory, his mind was blank, full of hostility to the world, and this hostility became more and more terrible after encountering more and more cold eyes and insults, until he met Yu Ruyan!

Yu Ruyan did not dislike him at all, took the risk to take him back to the palace, took care of him, accompanied him day and night, and gave him the most precious warmth in despair and pain, so from then on, there was no room for a second person in the world of Jade Knife except Yu Ruyan......

So when this terrible thought popped up in his heart, he took the initiative to abandon the fragments of memory that surged in his mind, not to think, let alone look for it, he began to be afraid to remember his life experience, until he was injured by Mu Ziyue's plan and fled into the palace to meet Uncle Chen-

Uncle Chen knelt in front of him with a 'thump' at the first sight, and called him His Royal Highness with tears, although he refused to believe it, but Uncle Chen's sad 'Eighth Highness' completely opened the ramp of his memory, and everything in the past gradually became clear, he remembered his identity and knew who he was.

It turned out that Uncle Chen was actually a cronie guard who had been following him back then!

Even though he knew everything about himself, he didn't want Yu Ruyan to know, and ordered Chen Bo not to tell him his identity to a third person other than the two.

So later, Uncle Chen rescued Yu Ruyan in the prison cell, which can be regarded as repaying Yu Ruyan for saving him for the knife......

Xiaodao has been trying to hide his identity, but when he was saving Su Niang in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was accidentally seen by Mu Xiang and others. Mu Xiang and the others recognized at a glance that the young assassin in front of them was actually Mu Chenzhi, the eighth prince who had died three years ago, but what they didn't expect was that no matter how they showed him favor and asked him to stay, the eighth prince fled in panic.

After this shocking secret, Mu Xiang's eyes flashed, thinking that the Xiangfu had angered the saint and the concubine because of his son's daughter's affairs, King Liang blamed him for having no way to teach his son, and Xie Guifei directly hated him for concealing Mu Ziyue's leprosy, if it weren't for his conscientious work for the court for so many years, it is estimated that the crime of bullying the monarch would be pressed on his head.

Although King Liang did not punish the Prime Minister heavily, but also snubbed Mu Xiang a lot, Mu Xiang was worried about how to regain the trust and favor of the Holy and the noble concubine Niangniang, and now suddenly the eighth prince of the Holy Niangniang's favorite is still alive in the world, how could he miss this opportunity?

Mu Xiang entered the palace non-stop and told King Liang and Xie Guifei about the matter, at that time, Mu Lingzhi was also in the palace of the concubine, hearing the news, he shook the tea in his hand and splashed his body, and the hot tea scalded his skin painfully, but he was so surprised that he couldn't even feel the pain.

And Concubine Xie was even more shocked that she couldn't help herself, she stood in a daze for a long time before she came back to her senses, and the first thing she said was-

No matter what, no matter what the price is, you must find the Eighth Prince Mu Chenzhi!
