"You're mistaken.

Mu Hui said bitterly: "I don't promise you, it's not because my mother is reluctant to give me." ”

Cao Ziqing felt that he was about to go crazy, the reason why he had such evil thoughts and would be used by others was completely because he thought it was wrong, and he roared: "If it's not Niangniang's obstruction, then why?" Why can't we be together? ”

Mu Hui looked at him, disappointed and lonely: "Because, you already have a family background." ”

Cao Ziqing was stunned: "It's common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention, I only have one wife and one concubine in my family." For them, I was only ordered by my parents, so I ......" Cao Ziqing looked at Mu Hui and asked in disbelief: "Could it be that you are ...... because I have already married a wife and had children?"

"Yes." Mu Hui said categorically: "It is precisely because when we met, you already had a family background. At the beginning, for the happiness of the mother and the emperor, I was willing to get close to you and get close to you, but I never thought that I would really fall in love with you. I never had the luxury of expecting you to have a crush on me. Originally, I thought we could go on and get along like each other. It's really good to meet a confidant in the palace who knows warmth and heat. But I never thought that you would have the idea of marrying me, and you would have the posture that you would definitely win. ”

"Why?" Cao Ziqing couldn't understand: "Since we love each other, why can't we be together?" We were very good in the past, and it will be good if you enter the door of my Cao family in the future. ”

"That's different." Mu Hui said in frustration: "If I marry into your family, what am I?" Concubine? And I, Mu Hui, don't want to be a concubine. I'd rather stay in this cold palace wall for the rest of my life than become someone else's concubine. ”

Cao Ziqing was stunned, he had thought of many reasons, but he never knew that the reason was so simple, but it was so unbelievable.

"Originally, Niangniang promised me that if I promised to marry you, I really wanted to be with you, and I would definitely marry me off in style." Mu Hui's mind came up with the scene of Fu'er's marriage, which was probably like that, a high-profile wedding. She smiled sadly: "I don't want to be a concubine, Niangniang will let the emperor decree that I and your wife will become equal wives." What's more, in order not to let me be wronged, it's okay for you to swear to divorce your wife. It's my own unwillingness, my unwillingness to do this. What does it have to do with Niangniang, so that you have such thoughts to harm Niangniang. ”

Cao Ziqing was stunned, knowing that he was wrong, but he didn't know that he was so wrong. It turned out that Chunxi did not obstruct it, and even tried her best to match. He looked at Chunxi, his eyes were full of guilt, he suddenly felt that he was so stupid, so stupid, how could he be bewitched by others to do such a thing.

Mu Hui said again: "Since I was a child, I have lived in a family with a group of wives and concubines. My mother, a concubine, was married home by my father on a whim. At first, she was very favored, but after a long time, my mother was forgotten. In the competition for favor with her aunts, she ended in failure and finally died of depression. And I became a thorn in the side of the aunts, so they found an excuse to sell me to a big family as a maid, and at that time, I met a poor lady like me. ”

Cao Ziqing also went to Shengjing together and saw Xiao Meng's power. He can imagine what kind of life these two women lived when they were children. Mu Hui lost her mother when she was a child, and met the same difficult Chunxi in the predicament. They depended on each other for their lives, fighting with Xiao Meng, in order to let themselves live well.

Now, Chun Xi has entered the palace and is quite favored, Xuan Ye really loves her, and she should have escaped from suffering. But the battle in the deep palace is more difficult than ever. Of course, Mu Hui didn't want to leave Chunxi alone, struggling alone. The most important thing is that her past as a child has left an indelible mark on her heart.

Cao Ziqing seemed to understand that he was wrong from the beginning. When they met, he already had a wife, and it was impossible for him to divorce his wife, nor could he give Mu Hui a promise of love and love. In this love, the ending has long been doomed. Mu Hui's heart knot is incomprehensible, then it will never be possible.

Cao Ziqing kowtowed to Chunxi, and did not stop until his forehead was bleeding.

Chunxi looked at him and asked expressionlessly, "What makes you determined to do this?" ”

Cao Ziqing said calmly: "It's Concubine Jing, she once looked for me." ”

Chunxi immediately understood, and sure enough, it was Tong Ruofei who was making trouble behind his back. sent someone to assassinate before, but now he has asked Wang Tianru to trick Cao Ziqing into killing people. Isn't it, Tong Ruofei has no way out, so he can only be ruthless directly? Such an idea was instantly denied by Chunxi. Tong Ruofei was originally a person who was good at using tricks, who can say that she is not good at chess, this ability to manipulate people's hearts is unmatched.

is good at using other people's weaknesses, but her strength, but she still doesn't understand what Tong Ruofei arranged one assassination after another for.

Cao Ziqing's eyes were red from crying, and he shouted that he wanted to go to Xuan Ye to ask for guilt, but was stopped by Mu Hui.

Mu Hui knelt in front of Chunxi, wiped away the tears on her face, and begged: "Niangniang, this matter is because of the slave maid, if you want to be responsible, please punish the slave and maid." ”

Cao Ziqing heard that Mu Hui wanted to take responsibility for herself, and hurriedly said: "No, Niangniang, this matter has nothing to do with Mu Hui, it is all Ziqing's doing." ”

Chun Xi glanced at them and said to Mu Hui: "You just said that if this palace is dead, you will go with this palace." Now, this palace is still alive and well, how can you easily put yourself in danger? ”

Mu Hui stammered, wanting to say something to explain, but she didn't know what to say.

Chun Xi said to Cao Ziqing again: "In the past, I thought that Master Cao was a responsible man, and he was also a person who understood things, could see everything clearly, and could distinguish clearly. In the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to think like this. Although in the face of love, most people will be confused. But Lord Cao shouldn't even be able to distinguish between the most basic right and wrong, the way of the monarch and the minister, and can't do it. No matter what kind of misunderstanding it is, Lord Cao should figure it out first and see his heart clearly. If Lord Cao is like this, no matter what the situation is today, the palace will escort Lord Cao to the emperor to ask for guilt. However, this palace knows that what you did today is just your impulse. It's just that it's my own nephew who died today, and there is no reason for this palace to let you go. ”

"The crime deserves death, and I don't ask for forgiveness." Cao Ziqing kowtowed, full of remorse in his heart. He doesn't know what's wrong recently, he was led by the nose by others, and he knew that he was being used by others, but he still obeyed the instructions and did it. I never knew that a person's heart was dirty, and even he felt disgusting.

Chun Xi smiled palely and glanced at Mu Hui again. She knew that Mu Hui wanted to ask for mercy at this moment, but because of what she had just said, she didn't dare to intercede. After all, this matter has already made a big fuss, and it is the prince who died. As long as it is shaken out, Cao Ziqing will definitely die. If Cao Ziqing is really dead, even if Mu Hui is alive, I am afraid that life is worse than death.

Mu Hui has been by her side since she was a child, and since Eniang died, the two of them have been dependent on each other. In the years they have been in the palace, they have trusted each other, and they have been able to live well in the backyard of this deep palace. Xuan Ye's favor has always been a double-edged sword. While being envied by others, he is also hated by others. And this kind of life is her own choice, but Mu Hui is willing to accompany her.

Chunxi has always wanted Mu Hui to have a long-term and happy love, even if she marries out of the palace like Fu'er and has the favor of her beloved man, this life is enough. But she fell in love with such a man, a man who already had a family and gave birth to an heir together. No matter what identity Mu Hui marries, she can't avoid being jealous and miserable all her life. Sometimes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, but more often, a concubine is not as good as the wind and snow outside.

Mu Hui already had a wound in her heart, she was used to seeing this kind of life since she was a child, and she didn't want to be deeply involved in it. However, this love made her have to face such a life. Therefore, Mu Hui would rather abandon it, rather give it up, and would rather be with it all the time.

In the past, Cao Ziqing didn't understand, so he made a big mistake. Now, he understands how he should make a decision to minimize the harm to everyone.

"You go, never appear in front of Hongu again. There are some things that are not to be dealt with, they can be solved by taking your life. The palace doesn't want you to have another accident, which will make Mu Hui and the emperor unhappy. Handle this matter yourself. There is no need to talk to the emperor, and the palace only doesn't know anything. What's more, there is no evidence in this palace, as long as you don't admit your guilt, no one will charge you. Chun Xi didn't know how much effort it took to say this, today's farce started early in the morning, and it was noon at this time, and it should be calmed down.

Cao Ziqing looked at Chunxi in a daze for a long, long time, and finally kowtowed and left.

In this world, the most unbearable thing is that life is better than death. And Cao Ziqing will spend the rest of his life with guilt. He saved his life and his family's reputation today, but his conscience could not be overcome.

Cao Ziqing understood that Chunxi no longer wanted to see him, which meant that he and Mu Hui would never see each other again. This kind of result is what makes him the most unbearable.

Walking on the long street, Cao Ziqing reached out and touched his heart, it really hurt, it hurt like it was torn, but he had no way to alleviate the pain and make himself feel better.

Mu Hui knelt beside Chunxi for a long time, and the two of them were silent for a long time. They both knew what was going on in each other's minds, and Mu Hui knew how much pressure Chunxi's decision was under.

How should she explain to Chun Yin? Now, I'm afraid I can't explain it. One is a sister, and the other is a maid who grew up and is like a sister. In the end, Chunxi chose the latter. Then what she will face is Chun's roar, her unwillingness, her hatred, or her understanding.

Chunxi didn't dare to think about it, she listened to Xiao Qinzi come back and report, saying that Chunyin had been found, but she still held the body of the little brother and refused to let go.
