Chapter Eighty-Eight: Grief
Mu Yan looked at Mei Bao'er's worried look and shook her head slightly. Taking Mei Darling's hand, Mu Yan said with a far-fetched smile: "It's nothing, I'm just worried about his safety." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
When Mei Darling heard Mu Yan say this, she became even more nervous. Looking at Mu Yan with wide eyes, Mei Darling didn't dare to gasp and continued to ask, "Yan'er, is something happening?" Don't hide it from me, you tell me. ”
"Have you ever heard of the commotion in the palace in the past few days?" Mu Yan frowned, looked at Mei Bao'er and nodded, and then said, "Now it's not just Fu Lingtian alone, all of us are in a dangerous situation. The people of the Murong family broke into the palace and wanted to kill me and the emperor, Ruowu was still lying in bed and did not wake up, and Heng'er even lost her life. ”
"You...... Say what? ”
Mu Yan's words made Mei Bao'er stunned suddenly, and then reflexively stood up and hit the tea table behind her. Breaking the cup on the table, Mei Darling listened to the crisp cracking sound before slowly coming back to her senses.
"Heng'er...... him?"
"That's right, dead." The curvature of the corners of Mu Yan's mouth slowly disappeared, and looking at Mei Bao'er's shocked expression, Mu Yan said solemnly: "Fu Lingtian was sent out by the emperor on a mission, and there has been no news for a few days. I thought he was going to get in touch with you, so I came to ask you. After all, Ruowu's injury can only be healed by him now. ”
After a pause, Mu Yan thought for a moment and continued, "You wait and follow me directly into the palace." Fu Lingtian has been running here for three days, and some people must have doubts about your relationship. If the enemy wants to use you as bait to find Fu Lingtian to lure him out, it is not impossible. You and Shui Xiangxiang will come with me, and this Meixianglou will be handed over to Yan'er to deal with. ”
"Okay, I see." Mei Bao'er nodded again and again, agreeing with Mu Yan's approach. Then he strode out of the room, went to pack his luggage, and prepared to leave with Mu Yan.
Sitting on the soft couch, Mu Yan sneered and looked at the back of Mei Darling leaving. exchanged glances with Leng Yan'er and the fourth master, and Mu Yan sat there silently. It wasn't until Mei Darling and Shui Xiangxiang packed up their things and appeared in front of her with Yuhe in their arms that Mu Yan stood up lazily and said, "Let's go, I'll send you back to the palace first, and then continue to check Fu Lingtian's news." ”
With the two of them returning to the palace unimpeded, Mu Yan did not choose another place, but directly sent Shui Xiangxiang and Mei Darling to Xia Yifeng's bedroom. Let the two live in the same courtyard with Xia Yifeng, Mu Yan gave a few words to the two of them with a serious and serious expression, and then called Liu Yiyi and Xiao Ziluo and ordered them to protect the safety of these two.
After arranging everything, Mu Yan said goodbye to a few people and walked to the courtyard. His eyes were gloomy as he stared at the room where Mei Darling and Shui Xiangxiang were, and a wicked smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She didn't believe that Fu Lingtian would always leave her darling behind, and she didn't believe that Fu Lingtian would always disappear like this. If he could really bear to watch Mei Darling slowly die at his hands, then she Mu Yan would have nothing to say.
"Yan'er."
Xia Yifeng looked at Mu Yan, who was about to leave, and called her name out loud. Quickly blocking Mu Yan, who was about to ignore him, Xia Yifeng sighed lightly and said, "It's late, don't go out." ”
"What qualifications do you have to control me?" Mu Yan raised the corners of his mouth lightly, sneered and looked at Xia Yifeng. "You don't want me out, you can. Bringing Fu Lingtian back to me is better than anything you say. ”
Xia Yifeng lowered his eyes, knowing that Mu Yan must be holding a grudge against himself in his heart. Sighing heavily, Xia Yifeng grabbed Mu Yan's wrist hard, and said in a low voice, "I don't allow you to leave the palace half a step today." ”
"Xia Yifeng." Mu Yan took the initiative to take a step forward and shorten the distance between himself and Xia Yifeng. With a little cold light flashing in his eyes, Mu Yan said word by word: "If you want to keep me by your side, unless you break my leg and kill me." Otherwise, as long as I can take a step, I will be one step away from you. ”
Shaking off Xia Yifeng's hand vigorously, Mu Yan glanced at Xia Yifeng's expressionless face, turned around and walked outside the palace. Xia Yifeng, who was powerless, could only watch Mu Yan go farther and farther. Quickly thinking of a way to leave Mu Yan in his heart, Xia Yifeng secretly asked himself, if he used to knock Mu Yan unconscious again, what would be the chance of killing Mu Yan with a knife after Mu Yan woke up?
The body jumped up, and Xia Yifeng once blocked in front of Mu Yan. Looking at Mu Yan's angry expression, Xia Yifeng hurriedly said: "Don't go out of the palace to find it first, let's go to Qi Fengyuan to have a look, maybe he can give any advice, maybe I can." ”
Xia Yifeng's words reminded Mu Yan. Thinking of Qi Fengyuan's previous clever calculations, Mu Yan nodded hesitantly, and reluctantly walked side by side with Xia Yifeng, walking towards Qi Fengyuan's residence.
Seeing Qi Fengyuan with a calm face, Xia Yifeng bluntly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang." Qi Fengyuan raised his eyes to look at the two people in front of him, and said in a low voice: "If you want to find Fu Lingtian, it may take a lot of effort. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Mu Yan asked sharply.
"I mean, Fu Lingtian is no longer in the capital now. Maybe it's in the Sky Country, maybe it's in the Cangming Country. In short, he is not with us now. ”
Qi Fengyuan's sworn words made Mu Yan instantly deflated. If you leave the capital, the scope will be large! If Fu Ling really ran to Cangming Country, how to find it?
Since the war some time ago, the country must be in a depression. It is not clear who is governing there now. Fu Lingtian arrived in Cangming Country and lived incognito, so how else could she find him?!
With a frustrated slap on the head, Mu Yan leaned weakly on the back of the chair. Listening to the conversation between Xia Yifeng and Qi Fengyuan.
"Mother." Qi Fengyuan looked at Mu Yan, whose eyes were closed tightly and he didn't say a word, and took the initiative to say, "If you really want to find Fu Lingtian, then why don't I go with you." The Firmament Country has your people, and the Cangming Country also has people from the Leng family to help. Whether Fu Lingtian can be caught or not, it can't be easily concluded now. Don't forget that we still have the chess piece of Mei Darling in our hands. ”
Qi Fengyuan's words made Mu Yanqian open his eyes. Facing Qi Fengyuan's deep gaze, Mu Yan fell into deep thought.
Are you going to the Firmament Country and the Cangming Country? So what about Ruowu and Xi'er? Give it to Xia Yifeng ......?
Mu Yan hesitantly turned his gaze to Xia Yifeng's face, looking at Xia Yifeng looking at himself innocently, Mu Yan pursed his lips in disgust, not wanting to see his face again.
"This matter, it's settled." Xia Yifeng stood up and helped Mu Yan make the final decision. "Rest well, and tomorrow morning, I will prepare everything for you and send you out of the city."
Saying a word faintly, Xia Yifeng took the lead away from the sight of several people. Mu Yan stared at Xia Yifeng's distant back, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.
Back in his room, Mu Yan lay down early to rest. The next morning, after Mu Yan washed up and walked out of the door, he found that Xia Yifeng was already waiting there.
"I've got the carriage ready, and the people who escorted you have called over." Xia Yifeng walked to Mu Yan's side and stretched out his hand to hand over a large stack of silver tickets. The amount was so large that Mu Yan, who had always been accustomed to seeing real money, was also a little surprised.
"My Muyan has not fallen to the point of reaching out to others to ask for money." Mu Yan coldly rejected Xia Yifeng's kindness, for some reason, Mu Yan had an inexplicable uneasiness about Xia Yifeng's behavior.
Even if she sets off for other countries, Xia Yifeng definitely doesn't need to give her so much money, does he? These silver tickets are enough for Mu Yan to sit back and live his next life without worry, what kind of wind is Xia Yifeng smoking, so that he wants to spend so much?
"Take it, there will always be a time when you can use it." Xia Yifeng pursed his lips and smiled, patted Mu Yan's head, and said softly: "Once you go this time, I don't know when you will be able to come back." Take good care of yourself without me by your side. ”
"Thank you for your concern, please rest assured, if you don't die, I won't die." Mu Yan glanced at Xia Yifeng contemptuously, and then left.
Walking out of the courtyard without turning his head, Mu Yan, who didn't look at Xia Yifeng again, didn't notice the sad expression on Xia Yifeng's face and the bitter smile on the corner of his mouth......
After gathering all the people, Mu Yan and his gang set off quickly. Before leaving, Mu Yan went to see Feng Ruowu and Mu Moxi, who were still lying on the bed. swallowed the tears back into her stomach, Mu Yan silently swore to herself that she must avenge this revenge. Fu Lingtian, she must make his life worse than death!
Got into the carriage and left the palace. Mu Yan looked at the scenery outside through the car window, and didn't make a sound for a long time. And Leng Yan'er, Lu Yu'er, and Mei Darling, who were sitting in a carriage with her, naturally didn't have the courage to take the initiative to talk to her.
"Those people out there, what's going on?" Mu Yan moved, looked at Leng Yan'er, and asked, "They are all people I don't know." ”
"It was sent by the emperor." Leng Yan'er smiled awkwardly and said, "The emperor is afraid that our few people will not be well protected, so he sent these people to act with us." ”
