Section 159 Chapter 157 The Prince
Goode got up from the ground, respectfully helped Duanmu Qing grind the ink, and tried his best to hide the tears in his eyes.
From the Chengqian 'gate', a team of 'guards' poured in, surrounding the three princes and others, Prince Ning walked in slowly, looked at the second prince and the third prince sighed, waved his hand, and immediately a 'guard' stepped forward to take them down.
Duanmu Lingyu walked up to Prince Ning and saluted: "I've seen Uncle Huang." ”
Prince Ning avoided his body slightly: "The prince doesn't have to be polite. The stiff tone with a slight anger showed the unrest in his heart.
Duanmu Lingyu smiled lightly, not minding his tone at all: "Uncle Huang, you should know best, originally my nephew didn't want to use such a 'radical' method, but several imperial brothers were 'forced' too tightly, and even more so they wanted to attack their father and emperor, and my nephew would not allow it anyway." My nephew lost his mother when he was very young, and now he can't even lose his last father. ”
Duanmu Lingyu raised his eyes and looked at Prince Ning without the slightest evasion. Prince Ban Xinning looked away and gently patted Duanmu Lingyu's shoulder: "Imperial brother, he ...... He is also very bitter in his heart, since your mother is gone, he has put a 'door' mind on government affairs, although he is responsible for your mother, but the punishment of these years is enough, now it is good, this king only hopes that you can treat your brother well, and no fratricidal things will happen. ”
Duanmu Lingyu smiled: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, as long as the extremely imperial brother and imperial brother don't endanger the 'jade' cold, this prince will naturally not mind." ”
Looking at Duanmu Lingyu, who was as vigorous as the birth of a red sun, Prince Ning nodded, and led the people to start cleaning the mess of Chengqian's 'door'.
In the side hall, Mu Qingya looked away, the expression on her face became more and more cold, if there is no fratricide, it depends on what these siblings have planned. It is no wonder that Prince Ning was the most favored by the emperor at the beginning, but in the end he was not made the crown prince, and only became a virtuous king who assisted Duanmuqing, and this indecisive 'sex' personality is the main reason.
"Leqi, what does the prince want you to do next?"
Le Qi was stunned for a moment, and only after a turn of his mind did he react, just now the emperor had already said that Liduanmu Lingyu was the crown prince, so he could not be called Prince Rong after that, but he should be called His Royal Highness the Prince: "If you go back to Miss, the master said that after watching the play, let the slave and maid escort Miss to Zhuanghua Palace and wait for a while, and he will go there to meet Miss." ”
Mu Qingya pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Let's go." ”
The two came to Zhuanghua Palace, but they didn't want Duanmu Lingyu and Duanmu Lingrui to be waiting there. Seeing Mu Qingya walk in, the look on Duanmu Lingyu's face softened a little: "Qingya, are you here?" ”
Mu Qingya bowed and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have seen Prince De." ”
Duanmu Lingyu's eyes flashed, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "Qingya, why are you ......?"
Duanmu Lingrui, who was on the side, saw the expressions of the two, and a trace of understanding flashed in his heart, and he hurriedly spoke: "Seventh brother, let's discuss what to do next." Although the three imperial brothers are no longer a threat, they can't be taken lightly, the most troublesome thing is that the two princes of Canglan Country are still there, if they don't handle it well, let them see that the joke is fake, and it will be troublesome if they really move their minds. ”
Duanmu Lingyu's thoughts were interrupted, and he suppressed the uneasiness that rose in his heart: "Well, Qingya sit down first, this matter should indeed be dealt with properly, although we are not afraid of Canglan Country, but if there is a war, it will still be very troublesome." "The most troublesome thing is still that Mo Junqing, although he is sure that the Mo Junqing in Mu Qingya's mouth is not the third prince of Canglan Kingdom, but obviously the three princes of Canglan still have a great influence on Mu Qingya, not to mention that Qingya is now extremely special to him, and before he is completely sure of Qingya's intentions, any threat will make him feel uneasy. I really can't imagine that one day he will become so troubled by gains and losses.
Seeing Duanmu Lingyu's distraction, Duanmu Lingrui sighed slightly in his heart, it seems that the seventh brother is really affectionate to this Mu Qingya, if Mu Qingya likes the seventh brother, it's fine, if she doesn't like it, then with the seventh brother's 'sex', I am afraid that it will cause a lose-lose result, and this result may really be a disaster for the 'jade' cold: "I'll go and see the situation of a few imperial brothers first, and the seventh brother and Miss Mu will talk for a while." ”
Le Qi on the side also walked out with the six princes with interest, and gently closed the 'door', and for a while there were only two of them left in the room.
Duanmu Lingyu looked up at Mu Qingya, and saw that her face was slightly pale, and secretly said that she was careless, Mu Qingya had always been disgusted with blood, and the side hall was very cold, but she had been there for a lot of time, and hurriedly got a cup of hot tea from the table: "Drink some tea first, but it's uncomfortable?" ”
Mu Qingya was slightly stunned for a moment, and after taking the tea, she looked at the white smoke curling on the teacup and gently tightened her mood slightly: "I'm fine, it's just that I can't stand the smell of blood, and now it's much better." ”
"Qingya, do you remember what I said at the beginning?" Duanmu Lingyu walked up to Mu Qingya and looked at her with burning eyes.
The unique cold taste rushed into the tip of her nose, Mu Qingya subconsciously wanted to retreat, but was stopped by reason, and only lowered her eyes slightly: "What did you say at the beginning?" ”
"I said I wanted you to be my princess...... And now that I have become the crown prince, I want to ask you again, Qingya, would you like to be my crown princess? ”
In the candlelight, Duanmu Lingyu's deep eyes reflected the warm candle flame, with a soft temperature, as if people could drown in it at a glance, coupled with the gentleness he showed unconsciously, Mu Qingya almost lost his mind, but it was only almost ......
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Of course I know, Qingya, in fact, I have wanted to tell you for a long time, I have liked you for a long time, and I want to be with you, forever." Duanmu Lingyu reached out and grabbed Mu Qingya's fingers, held her cold fingers in the palm of her hand, and warmed her with his own temperature.
Mu Qingya's body stiffened, as if she felt that the temperature would be transmitted along her fingers to her heart, and she wanted to 'withdraw' her fingers but was grabbed by him hard, and finally had to give up.
Feeling her compromise, Duanmu Lingyu smiled happily, his smile was light and pure, and he was very different from the usual, although he faintly realized in his heart that Mu Qingya was already his weakness, and he was the most untouchable reverse scale, how dangerous this was for an emperor, but he didn't want to resist, but cherished this sweet existence more and more.
After a while, Mu Qingya spoke: "When you asked me that sentence before, I didn't tell you the answer, now do you want to know?" ”
Duanmu Lingyu nodded, looked up at Mu Qingya's eyes, and his eyes were full of a deep and serious 'color': "Yes, you are right, I want to know, Qingya, there are too many changes in the world, I am not sure what will happen next, so I can only grasp the present as much as possible, as long as you are willing, I will continue to lead you like this." ”
Mu Qingya's heart became more and more tight, and it took a while before she finally spoke again: "Since you decided to fight for the throne, we have begun to go in two different directions, and we can't ......"
"Why?" Without waiting for Mu Qingya to finish speaking, Duanmu Lingyu grabbed her fingers violently, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"I don't want to have anything to do with the royal family......"
"How can it be that you are not implicated, Qingya, your father is an official in the court, and you are the 'daughter' of the Mu family, your involvement with the royal family will never be severed, how can it not be implicated?" Qingya, why are you making such an excuse, do you just don't want to be with me so much? I am now the prince of a country, and I am the representative of the royal family, do you not want to be involved with the royal family or do you not want to be involved with me Duanmu Lingyu? Thinking of the latter possibility, he only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he could barely breathe in pain, if it was the latter, then what should he do?
Mu Qingya didn't expect his reaction to be so strong, and her fingers subconsciously tightened: "Prince......"
"Don't call me that!" Duanmu Lingyu lowered his head, and there was a deep 'color' of pain in his eyes, "Qingya, don't call me that...... You call me Ling Yu......" Hearing her call, his heart ached even more, if his identity was the source of keeping her away, then what should he do......
Mu Qingya bit her lip, the dull pain in her heart spread layer by layer, the feeling of pain surprised even herself, she didn't expect that her heart would hurt like this when she saw such an uncomfortable Duanmu Lingyu, and smiled slightly bitterly, she could be regarded as self-inflicted and self-restrained.
"Okay, Ling Yu ......" Looking at his stubborn and pleading gaze, Mu Qingya couldn't bear to open her eyes, she couldn't imagine that this man, who had always worn various masks, would 'show' such a vulnerable side, so he had a hint of pleading, so that people couldn't bear to refuse anyway, "Ling Yu, as a king, there will be a lot of involuntary bodies, you can now swear to accompany me to go down, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...... You're going to be dealing with a country, not a family...... You like me, I know, if you don't want to see me marry someone else, I won't marry for the rest of my life, but I will never come into this palace. Realizing that she was special to him, Mu Qingya didn't want him to be too sad, so she had to say her plan, although she gave up her past, she didn't want to marry someone she didn't like, so it could be regarded as Duanmu Lingyu's friendship for her......
Duanmu Lingyu raised his head suddenly: "Qingya, what do you mean by this?" "Surprised to look at the young 'girl' in front of her as calm as ever, her eyes were full of complicated looks, Qingya's last words clearly showed that she was also interesting to herself, so why didn't she want to enter the palace? The thoughts in his heart were churning, and he subconsciously asked a sentence, "But is it because of Mo Junqing?" ”
