Chapter 262: Temptation

Her talent, intelligence, words and deeds, and thoughts, all of which made him thirsty, as a prince, and as a famous lady, she should have been a good match, a pair made in heaven, why do you want to be with her now, but it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

He was separated from her by thousands of mountains and rivers, and he couldn't hold her hand.

His father is angry, his mother is sad, the courtiers obstruct, and his friends are vigilant, how should he choose so that he will not regret it in the future?

What should he give up?

Imperial?

Or is it your own heart?

Ul, the eldest princess's mansion.

Gu Xi received the text from Moguo, and he unfolded the small note in his hand, on which were written in small characters with a code word that only they could read: "Break them one by one, and lead the water to the east." ”

Gu Xi smiled and whispered, "Sure enough." Qingzhan's eyes dimmed slightly, and the smile on his lips slowly became a little cold, since he had already expected it, how could he let others succeed easily?

Come on!

With a flick of his fingertips, the note instantly turned to powder and dissipated into the air.

He hugged the white fox robe, revealing only a clear face as perfect as a mountain, and a pair of slender and flexible hands with joints, surrounded by four or five stoves, readjusting the medicine. The dark sunken wood tables and heavy bookshelves in front of him and around the room make him more and more light as a fairy, and he does not eat the fireworks of the world.

The green smoke flies in front of the case, hiding people in a fog. It seems that in the next blink of an eye, the person behind the case will suddenly disappear.

His body seemed to be getting colder and colder, but on this cold and scorching winter day, the snow was drifting for a long time, and it seemed that it had not stopped since he came to the country, dripping into ice, and his eyebrows were frosty, as if it was far away, and the spring was so long that he would not wake up again.

Gu Xi lightly let out a white smoke towards his hands, lowered his eyes and continued to pound the medicine powder in the porcelain bowl, and the corners of his lips laughed helplessly and self-deprecatingly.

I just hope that time can slow down a little bit, and then slow down, and wait for him.

Moguo, the palace.

On this day, Qiu Mingrui received an invitation from secretly, he went out for the first time since his illness, in order to avoid the eyes and ears placed in his mansion in the palace, it should not be too decorated. Wearing only a dark blue bamboo-patterned brocade robe that was not eye-catching, he kicked a pair of upturned brocade boots, and put on a black cloak, so he took his beloved horse and took the little servant who was waiting for him to go out.

After walking around the city and seeing the hour, I went out of the city unhurriedly and went straight to the "Baiyun Temple". The two of them hit their horses and went up the mountain. Qiu Mingrui's mood was a little urgent, but in order to hide people's eyes, he still went to the temple to offer incense, and asked the monk to give him a room.

Then, he changed his clothes, left the little servant to hide his eyes and ears in the fasting room, and then quietly walked into the deep forest behind the temple.

Under the agreed single plum tree, after waiting for a while, there was a lonely figure, wearing a dark blue windbreaker.

Qiu Mingrui's eyes suddenly focused on the person who came, and he never left for a moment. The plum blossoms were blown down by the cold wind on his body, and he didn't realize it.

In the green plum blossoms, a handsome young man looked forward to her arrival with enthusiastic eyes, and his face was full of undisguised joy. He was tall and slender, with a noble temperament, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and clear dark eyes, and under this green plum tree he had stumbled upon and looked forward to the arrival of the girl he admired in his heart, forming a dazzling scenery in this remote deep forest.

The visitor seemed to sigh secretly, and approached him lightly on the dead leaves. She raised her head, looked at him with a pair of beautiful and indifferent eyes, and then bowed and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince." The voice is gentle and cold, but it is touching.

Qiu Mingrui saw her salute, and couldn't help but take a step forward to help her, but when he heard her tone with reserve and alienation, he couldn't help but pause in the local area and said, "You don't have to be like this." ”

Mu Qi smiled slightly, straightened up, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and said: "There is a difference between the monarch and the minister, Mu Qi does not dare to trespass." ”

Qiu Mingrui faintly heard the dissatisfaction in her tone, and he was also depressed, and couldn't help asking, "Are you blaming me?" ”

Under Mu Qi's blue cloak, a dark blue passionflower embroidered shirt was revealed, making her snow skin a little whiter than ice and snow, with a delicate face, just like a person carved out of glass. The eyes of autumn water, the appearance of flowers and the moon, as soon as the eyes turn, there seems to be a glittering light flowing, which is fascinating.

She smiled lightly, her complexion was even more colorful, but her expression was frosty, and she said euphemistically: "How dare Mu Qi blame His Highness?" ”

"If you say so, you are to blame." Qiu Mingrui took a short step forward, gentle and caring. is obviously a noble prince, but in front of his beloved girl, he suffers from gains and losses like an ordinary teenager, and he is cautious.

Mu Qi's expression was awe-inspiring, and she raised her eyes, sparkling with resentment and forbearance. Looking at his expectant and stubborn expression, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Your Highness, my Mu family let you be burned on the fire, and I Mu Qi let you be persecuted to death." You say, "If you change places, how will you deal with this person?" How should I deal with you? ”

Qiu Mingrui saw that she spoke so harshly, his heart was sour, and his mouth was bitter.

Mu Qi didn't allow him to argue, his complexion was frosty, and he was even more beautiful, and said coldly: "Your Highness's words and deeds now make my Mu family like a sharp edge on my back, courtiers discuss, Your Majesty thinks strangely, Concubine Hui resents, my father and brother are walking on thin ice in the court, and we need to deal with it cautiously every step." Even if the great feats of throwing blood at the border pass and repelling the barbarian enemy are not worth a few words from His Royal Highness, they can disappear in front of His Majesty. ”

She questioned in a loud voice, Qiu Mingrui's heart was like a knife, and she wanted to refute, but when she saw her eyes slightly red and her voice slightly choked, she couldn't say a word.

In the cold wind, her cheeks were red, reflecting the fragrance of the country, different from the calm and reserved in the past, and her excited look added a touch of pity and pity, which made people dizzy and pityful.

Qiu Mingrui looked at her silently, his eyes were gentle and loving, and he couldn't bear to say a cold word to her.

Seeing that he was silent, Mu Qi was even more angry, and said coldly: "At this moment, the famous families and meritorious families in the entire Dragon Capital are rumoring that I am the one who is the red face and the troubled water. It is rumored that I am the bewitching woman who seduces and bewitches you, so that the five princes who rely on the emperor's heart are disobedient to Your Majesty for me, do not think about society, only indulge in the love of children, and linger in the wind and snow. ”

"Who said that?" Qiu Mingrui couldn't see her wronged appearance, nor could he hear her words that belittled her repeatedly, snorted coldly, and said angrily: "I plucked his skin and pulled his tendons." ”

Mu Qi didn't laugh angrily, but the laughter made him feel distressed, and he said hatefully: "Youyou, how many mouths can Your Highness block?" What's more, His Royal Highness is now just a prince who is idle in the mansion, how much ability does it have to make these nobles of Longdu keep their mouths shut? ”

Her willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, full of sorrow, made Qiu Mingrui's heart crack, bit his lip, looked at her apologetically, and said for a long time: "I was negligent, I never expected things to develop into the current situation." I didn't mean to, I just ...... I just want to be able to promise to be your concubine and be with you. As an emperor, there are three thousand harems, and it is impossible not to set up another concubine for all kinds of involvement, but a prince, if he wants to love and re-marry his wife, and does not set up a side concubine Teng, no one will say it. ”

He was cold and indifferent by nature, often silent, and had never said so many words in one breath, but at this moment, Qiu Mingrui had to put his thoughts and thoughts out in order to ask for the forgiveness of his beloved.

As soon as the words came out, Qiu Mingrui pursed his chapped lips and waited worriedly for Mu Qi's response.

Mu Qi lowered her eyebrows, and the cherry blossoms swayed slowly in the smooth black bun with her movements, reflecting the light as bright as ice.

Her expression was resolute but firm, and she said in a low voice: "Mu Qi has thanked His Royal Highness Fifth for his kindness. His Royal Highness can ignore it and move forward, but Mu Qi can't ignore the reputation of the Mu family, the century-old family inheritance, how can I add a stain to it. As a member of the Mu family, Mu Qi must take care of his own family, and ask the five princes to be considerate. If it is a last resort, Mu Qi can only give up the splendid Shaohua in this life, escape into Buddhism and cut her hair as a nun to avoid the world's mouth, and prove her innocence. ”

"No!" Qiu Mingrui frowned, grabbed her arm without caring for many things, and said eagerly: "It's not your fault, how can you practice yourself for those vulgar people?" ”

"People's words are terrible, and everyone's mouths are golden." Mu Qi tugged at his hand, and when he saw that he couldn't get rid of it, he looked up at him directly, his eyes were clear, and he said fiercely: "If the Fifth Highness insists on forcing me to death, and doesn't even leave a way to live in the Buddha's Gate, you can continue to entangle with me!" Or, I will put myself in front of His Highness at this moment, and I will be gone, just hoping that His Highness will let go of my Mu family. ”

Qiu Mingrui's face was as cold as ice, he hugged her, his arms were wrapped around the woman in his arms like iron, his head was pressed against her sideburns, but his eyes were instantly gentle, and he whispered: "Even if I die, I won't let you die." I will keep the Mu family, and you and I will keep it, but you must wait for me, okay? ”

Mu Qi struggled a few times, and then gradually stopped moving. The two hugged each other quietly for a moment, she avoided his jaw, opened her cheek and said, "What His Highness said, can you really do what you say?" ”

"I will never fail you." Qiu Mingrui cut the iron and cut the iron tunnel, and his eyes were clear. keenly aware of her softness and shyness, a trace of joy overflowed in her heart.

Mu Qi exhaled lightly in his arms, and after a while, he asked faintly: "Your Highness has never mind that I was devoted to others in my early years, and I was also deeply in love with others?" ”

Qiu Mingrui breathed a faint fragrance in her nose, and said calmly: "At that time, I didn't know you, and you never met me, those are all things in the past, don't mention it." Who hasn't had a youthful frivolity, ignorance and longing? It's just that now you can really wait for me, so it's good. ”

"Hmm." Mu Qi replied in a low voice, leaning his head on his chest, the corners of his eyes slightly moist.

A tear fell on the back of Qiu Mingrui's hand impartially, and his gaze swept by, his heart tightened, and he was even more distressed.
