418, alone

Everything is a foregone conclusion, I'm afraid that in the future, she can only rely on Lu Xinmei for her life.

Mu Wanqing raised her head, looking at this world that no longer belonged to her, and she had a lot of feelings, but in the end she didn't say anything. But she thought of something instead, and asked, "Why did you suddenly come back to the capital?" Doesn't it matter what happens in Zengcheng? ”

Speaking of this, it was also what Huo Chen was worried about, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "Speaking of which, it is a coincidence that the snow in Zengcheng is very heavy, the mountains and rivers have been frozen, and the warriors of the wolf country are also difficult to resist. ”

Mu Wanqing nodded, is this providence?

"It's dangerous for you to stay in the capital, as soon as your father's funeral is dealt with, you can go to Zengcheng with me along with your mother, where I can take care of you." Huo Chen said softly.

Now Mu Wanqing didn't have an idea in her heart, so she had to nod, she was also worried about landing Lu Xinmei, but Lu Xinmei followed her to Zengcheng, and it was safe.

While the two were talking, they had already left the palace and went to the house where Mu Qizhi and Lu Xinmei lived.

But as soon as she came to the front of the house, she had heard bursts of crying, Mu Wanqing didn't feel good in her heart, although she already knew it in her heart, she still didn't want to believe it. She got off the horse and walked in quickly, and there were only a few people waiting in the house, but when a little maid saw Mu Wanqing returning, she ran up with red eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Master and Mrs. ......"

Mu Wanqing's heart trembled, this was already a fact, and she couldn't suppress the grief in her heart for a while, and said, "Where is Daddy?" ”

The little maid couldn't speak, so she pointed to Mu Qizhi's room, but those eyes seemed to have a lot of things to say.

Mu Wanqing walked to Mu Qizhi's room without saying a word, but her steps were vague, and her swaying body seemed to fall down at any time, Huo Chen was afraid that something would happen to her, so she hurriedly followed Mu Wanqing's footsteps.

The door was open, and Mu Wanqing had already smelled a faint smell of blood before she walked in.

Her heart was beating wildly, and she felt like it took all the effort to take every step.

Mu Wanqing approached step by step, and when she walked to the door, she held on to the door frame and raised her eyes slightly.

She simply didn't believe what was in front of her.

She opened her mouth slightly, but she choked up, unable to speak again, her feet were weak, and the whole person fell down, Huo Chen behind her hurriedly supported Mu Wanqing, and her heart was so painful that she couldn't say it at this time.

"Daddy! Mother! Mu Wanqing opened her mouth before she shouted hoarsely, but it contained a lot of sadness.

In front of him, Mu Qizhi was lying on the bed, but half of the quilt had fallen to the ground, while Lu Xinmei was lying on the edge of the bed, but there was a pool of blood on the carved edge of the bed.

"Someone from the palace came just now, and they forced the old man to take the medicine...... The old man had no breath...... Madame couldn't stop it, and when she saw the old man go, she hit her head at the foot of the bed, and the slave had already asked her to find a doctor. The little maid said with a sob.

Mu Wanqing glanced at the little maid, she broke free from Huo Chen's support, and walked slowly by herself, but her steps were unsteady, and she finally fell to the ground, her big tears fell to the ground, like a pure plum blossom, she cried and crawled slowly.

"Qing'er......" Huo Chen shouted in a low voice, seeing that Lu Xinmei didn't move, as if he had no breath.

He stared at Mu Wanqing worriedly, standing at the door, not knowing what to do.

"Mother's ......" Mu Wanqing carefully helped Lu Xinmei up, and saw that there was a wound on Lu Xinmei's forehead, which was overflowing with blood at this time, her face was pale, and she hurriedly shouted at the little maid: "Hurry up and bring my medicine box!" ”

The little maid was stunned for a moment, and then retreated.

However, Lu Xinmei still had a trace of breath, her hand gently rested on Mu Wanqing's arm, and said, "Qing'er...... No need...... All my life, I have always wanted to ...... Follow your daddy's ......"

Mu Wanqing's vision was blurred, but she kept shaking her head: "Don't!" Why are mothers so ruthless! I'm going to be on my own...... Don't leave me ......"

Lu Xinmei didn't even have the strength to open her eyes, she tried her best to grab Mu Wanqing's arm hard, and even her voice became much quieter, and only Mu Wanqing could hear it: "So that you can be carefree...... Let's go...... The emperor will not let it go...... Take care of yourself...... Alive...... Qing'er, my mother was in the Qinglou when she was young, and she was thinking about ...... Raise money to redeem yourself, just to ...... Freedom, freedom...... Do you understand? ”

Mu Wanqing choked, but she hugged Lu Xinmei in her arms and kept saying, "My daughter doesn't understand!" My daughter doesn't understand it at all! Why didn't I have anything in my last life, and I don't have anything in this life?! Is God punishing me? Is it or not?! ”

Lu Xinmei's breath was weak, she was bent on seeking death, and she wanted to go with Mu Qizhi, and when the little maid came with Mu Wanqing's medicine box, Lu Xinmei had already lost her breath, and the hand that grabbed Mu Wanqing was also released.

Mu Wanqing sat on the ground paralyzed, her tears never dried, she felt that Lu Xinmei's body temperature was slowly losing bit by bit, she was powerless to recover, how much she hated herself.

Outside the door, when the snow was falling, her whole body trembled violently, she didn't think that she would lose her loved ones today, even if she took possession of this body, but in her heart, she had already regarded the people of the Mu family as extremely important. She didn't have a trace of regret, why couldn't she assassinate Emperor Qi Wen just now!

I don't know how long it took for Huo Chen to walk in, squatting in front of Mu Wanqing, and comforting softly: "Qing'er, the two old men have already gone immortal, you can see it." ”

Mu Wanqing was still holding Lu Xinmei in her arms, she raised her eyes slightly, her eyes were full of hatred: "Look away? How do I see it? I...... Losing your father and mother in one day is all a good thing done by your good father! ”

Huo Chen frowned, although he knew in his heart that Mu Wanqing's mood was not calm at this time, he still couldn't help but say: "At the beginning, my father had already ordered the killing of the people of the Mu family, I have protected your father and mother for a long time, and my father and emperor can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, Qing'er, don't be excited, take care of your body, all this is a catastrophe, you should take care of your father's and mother's aftermath at the moment, instead of complaining here." ”

Mu Wanqing took a deep breath, what Huo Chen said was not unreasonable, no matter how it was said, it was all earned by the people of the Mu family, but it was too difficult for her to accept the death of Mu Qizhi and Lu Xinmei for a while.

She calmed herself down, and only then did she put Lu Xinmei on the ground before she stood up leisurely.

At this time, how could she still let herself fall.

She asked the little maid to call all the people in the house, and with the kitchen handyman, there were only five people.

"First go to the coffin shop to buy two good coffins, and then decorate the mourning hall, everything you have to prepare, you all get ready." Mu Wanqing said lightly, tears were still on her face, Mu Qizhi knew that his life was short, and he had already chosen a cemetery for himself, but in fact, there was nothing to prepare, just to ask her only daughter to guard the mourning hall.

Huo Chen saw that Mu Wanqing was still so calm, although he was a little relieved, but he also saw that Mu Wanqing was very sad in her heart, and she was just hiding herself.

When everything was ready, Huo Chen said to Mu Wanqing: "You haven't touched a drop of rice in the past two days, I specially asked Gui Xin to cook some rice porridge, you can eat some too, and by the way, I will also deal with the burns for you." ”

The sky is gradually darkening, the people have already prepared the mourning hall, everywhere is a piece of vegetarian, white candles are burning, but in the small hall, there are two coffins, very crowded.

Although Mu Wanqing didn't have any appetite, she knew that if she didn't eat anything, she would definitely not be able to support herself. She just nodded, and came to the room with Huo Chen, Gui Xin took out rice porridge and put it in front of Mu Wanqing, and Huo Chen also took out the scalding cream.

The burn on the back of Mu Wanqing's hand had solidified, but it still looked shocking, Huo Chen frowned, gently applied scald cream to Mu Wanqing, and said in his mouth: "Fortunately, it's winter, it shouldn't be inflamed." ”

Mu Wanqing nodded unconsciously, Huo Chen's movements were gentle, and it didn't hurt her, the candlelight in the room was shaking, and the lamp was as bad as a bean, but Huo Chen's outline was so clear, he lowered his head slightly, and his careful appearance was really charming.

"Huo Chen, you fell out with the emperor this time, how are you going to solve it?" Mu Wanqing asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Huo Chen was stunned, and had to admit that he was also a little impulsive today, he pondered for a while before saying: "You don't have to worry, I understand everything that my father is worried about, and I will give him an explanation." ”

Mu Wanqing stared at Huo Chen's face and smiled slightly, but it was a little ugly because of the redness and swelling of her eyes: "There are many things that can't be done, you better hurry back to Zengcheng, the battle with the wolf country is not over, and it has taken a lot of time for you to come back and forth like this." ”

Huo Chen raised his head, at this time he had already applied the scalding ointment, and asked, "Aren't you going back to Zengcheng with me?" ”

Seeing Huo Chen's sincere eyes, she shook her head for a moment, and said, "I want to stay in the capital." ”

"Why?" Huo Chen was a little puzzled, "It will be dangerous for you to stay in the capital." ”

"Danqing's child is about to be born, and I want to stay." Mu Wanqing said lightly.

Huo Chen stared at Mu Wanqing for a while, wanting to see the truth of her words, but Mu Wanqing was calm and breezy from head to end, and in the end, he still sighed: "Okay, you stay for the time being, and after this battle is over, I will come back to you." ”
