Yinyue Pavilion, just as I was lying on the sandalwood table, contemplating leisurely, Murong suddenly walked over, and there were complicated emotions in his eyes.

stared at me for a long time before he said leisurely: "I heard the maid say that you went to Jinhuaxuan today." ”

"Hmm." I nodded slightly.

"So, did she tell you anything?" A hint of nervousness suddenly appeared in Murong's eyes.

And I, however, felt inexplicable by his words.

When I went to Jinhuaxuan, he wasn't with Mu Xinxin, even so, he should know that I didn't see Mu Xinxin at all.

Or did he come just to tempt me, to test me, to see if I heard anything I shouldn't have heard.

"Murong, I'll only ask you once, of course it's up to you to say it or not, I won't force it." I stood up from the stool, and because of the height difference between me and Murong, I could only look up at him.

"You ask, right?" In just three words, I found that Murong was very laborious to speak.

I took a deep breath and asked, "Murong, where is my biological mother now?" ”

"When he gave birth to you, he died because of dystocia." This time, Murong's answer was very simple, "Father didn't want you to be seen clearly because of your background, so he entrusted you to your aunt and uncle." ”

"Hmm." I replied in a low voice, and there was no extra emotion in my eyes, "Murong, I'm leaving?" Do you take care? ”

"This day has long been expected." The corners of Murong's lips were obviously a touch of bitterness, "Have you figured out where to go?" ”

"After thinking about it, I want to return to Phoenix Mountain, to the paradise where I have lived for eight years, to accompany my parents and brother, and to die alone." I nodded slightly.

"That's fine." Murong smiled slightly, and there seemed to be no worry in his eyes.

In this way, under the send-off of Murong, I left the Shizi Mansion, at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, and when I came to this place again, my heart suddenly became quiet.

Perhaps, such a paradise is the real destination.

"Sister, welcome home." My brother suddenly appeared behind me silently.

Looking back, looking at his face like a spring breeze, I felt like a glacier meeting warmth, melting in an instant.

"Brother." Ignoring the tears in the corners of my eyes, I plunged headlong into my brother's arms.

"Ugly girl, still the same as when she was a child, she loves to cry nose." The elder brother smiled lowly, and his warm tone was full of doting.

In my brother's arms, I don't know how long I was tired, my brother finally couldn't help it, and asked with a smile: "Sister, have you cried enough, if you cry enough, let's go home, Daddy has been waiting for you for a long time?" ”

I wiped a handful of tears from my brother's shoulder, then raised my eyes slowly, nodded and smiled, "Enough." ”

I remember that when I was a child, every time I did this, my brother would look angry and despise me.

However, this time, he smiled unusually softly and said, "Good." ”

Back to the days of Phoenix Mountain, I enjoy the green mountains and green waters, and the warm spring every day.

It's just that I found that deep down, in fact, I wasn't happy

On the other hand, after Dongfang Yu returned to the Eastern Qin Kingdom, his already withdrawn heart became more and more withdrawn.

He no longer likes to laugh, no matter where he is, he always wears a baby face and poses as cold as a thousand years of ice.

In the peach orchard, this season, although there are no peach blossoms and fruits, Dongfang Yu still likes to stay here, missing and remembering.

The flowers fell, the flowers bloomed, and a year later, in the spring, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom again, Dongfang Yu sat under the peach blossom tree, drinking the peach blossoms that the palace maid had just brewed to dry.

Sitting opposite him was the young prime minister Lou Xi.

"Your Majesty, as we expected, the final winner of the battle for the heir in Beirong is Tuoba Xiu." In Lou Xi's evil eyes, there was an indescribable coldness.

"Hmph, the real battle is about to begin, Lou Xi, are you ready?" Dongfang Yu hooked his lips and smiled, but his so-called smile was full of thick blood and cruelty.

Lou Xi drank the peach blossoms in his hand and said, "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." ”

At this time, Yun Ce brought two Fei Qin Guards and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the prince of Beirong Kingdom asks to see you." ”

"Lou Xi, we just talked about Dongfeng, but I didn't expect that this East would come?" Dongfang Yu looked at Lou Xi meaningfully, turned around, and said to Yun Ce: "Biography." ”

After a while, a handsome young man walked over and bowed to Dongfang Yu: "Tuoba Rui has more Qin Emperor to rescue." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you don't have to be polite." Dongfang Yu's eyes were soft and said, "Please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Emperor Qin." As Tuoba Rui sat down, Dongfang Yu and Lou Xi's eyes fell on him, but none of them spoke.

Tuoba Rui has sat firmly in Diaoyutai for so many years, and naturally he is not stupid, so he arched his hand and said politely: "Your Majesty Emperor Qin, as long as you can help you kill Tuoba Xiu, Rui is willing to take Beirong to return to Eastern Qin, from now on, he will respect Eastern Qin, and make offerings every year to show sincerity." ”

Dongfang Yu drank the peach blossoms in the cup, and his eyes remained unchanged and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are polite, but since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sincere, it is not easy to caress His Highness." ”

Lou Xi also said in a timely manner: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this peach blossom is drying, but His Majesty has dried it with his own hands, you must not miss the tasting." ”

As Lou Xi's words fell, the palace maid who was waiting on the side poured a cup of peach blossoms for Tuoba Rui to dry.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Prime Minister." At this time, Tuoba Rui did not dare to have any opinions.

Three days later, the Eastern Qin State sent troops to attack Beirong, of course, it was naturally Tuoba Rui, the prince of Beirong, who was hanging in battle.

Because, when the two countries are at war, they must be famous.

The name is right!

The Eastern Qin State sent 300,000 lions, with the victorious general Yang Mo as the commander and the young ghost talent Li Xian as the military advisor to help Tuoba Rui attack Beirong.

The soldiers and horses of the Eastern Qin State are menacing, and their morale is high, of course, the Beirong State is not weak under the leadership of Tuoba Xiu.

The war lasted for three months.

Three months later, Beirong was defeated, and Tuoba Xiu escaped and disappeared.

At that time, the Western Chu Kingdom and the Southern Zhao Kingdom were both watching the fire from the other side, without the slightest movement.

Western Chu Kingdom, Shizifu, Murong Ze looked at Murong Chen, and there was anger in his cold eyes that could not be concealed, "Big brother, Eastern Qin sent troops to attack Beirong, why do you want to persuade your father to watch the fire from the other side, big brother can know what is cold lips and teeth." ”

"Second brother, can't you see that nominally, it is the Eastern Qin State and the Beirong State that are at war, but in fact, it is a contest between the former prince of Beirong and the new emperor, in what name do we send troops?"

Murong Ze was choked by Murong Chen's words, but Murong Chen didn't intend to let him go, "We have all seen the skills of Yang Mo and Li Xian, or does the second brother think that we in Xichu can beat them militarily now?" ”

"Big brother, I'm ——?" Murong Ze was instantly speechless when he was taught a lesson by Murong Chen, but his original heart did not change in the slightest because of this.

Outside Jinhuaxuan, Murong Ze walked back and forth for a long time before he mustered up his courage and walked in.

Under the quiet white magnolia flowers, Mu Xinxian wore a white skirt, and her quiet and beautiful face was filled with inexplicable emotions.

"Cousin." Murong Ze called out hesitantly, for that sister-in-law, he found that no matter what, he couldn't call out.

"Oh, Ze is here?" Mu Xinxian smiled, and he didn't care much about Murong Ze's title.

"Cousin, how are you doing lately?" Murong Ze blurted out the words in his heart in the face of Mu Xinxin's smile, but after asking, he felt very regretful.

Does his cousin still need to ask?

The eldest brother doesn't love his cousin, and even if he marries, for him, it's just a dispensable woman in the house.

"Being able to marry your eldest brother is the biggest wish of my life, and now, this wish has come true, and I have nothing to regret in this life."

"That's good, that's good." On Murong Ze's cold face, wisps of tenderness appeared: "Seeing that my cousin is doing well, Ze is relieved, cousin, Ze still has important things to deal with, then, leave here, cousin, cherish." ”

Murong Ze seemed to be fleeing, and after leaving Jinhua Xuan, the smile on Mu Xinxin's beautiful face gradually dimmed.

"Ah Xian." After Murong Ze left, the right string quietly appeared in front of Mu Xinxian and said, "Ah Xian, last night, Murong Ze asked me for a colorless and tasteless poison. ”

"What does he want colorless and odorless poison for?" Mu Xinxian's heart was nervous, she was afraid that Murong Ze wanted this medicine to deal with Murong Chen, "Did you give it?" ”

"Given." Right Xian nodded and said, "Ah Xian, you don't have to worry, I asked him, and he reassured me that this medicine is definitely not for Murong Chen." ”

"But can I believe what he says?" Mu Xinxin's eyes were full of fear, obviously, she couldn't fully trust Murong Ze's words.

"Actually, I've checked his recent movements." Right Xian paused, and under Mu Xinxin's eager gaze, he continued: "The number of times he has been in and out of the palace recently has become more and more frequent, I guess that he is preparing to attack the Emperor of Chu, and then, to attack the edict, so as to ascend to the God King." ”

"Ah Xian, I think you know better than anyone that from beginning to end, Murong Chen has not had the slightest interest in the throne, if Murong Ze can let Emperor Chu let him ascend the throne, then Murong Chen will not have the slightest opinion."

"He wants to be the Emperor of Chu." Mu Xinxian was obviously a little incredulous.

Right String outlined the corners of his lips and said with some bitterness: "I think he did this to get you." ”

"He won't." Mu Xinxian shook his head.

"Ah Xian, you should understand that he, like me, loves you deeply, but I just want to accompany you silently, but he is different, in his opinion, only the day he becomes the emperor of Chu, he has the right to decide whether you go or stay."

"No, I'm going to stop him." Mu Xinxian said with some fear.

"Ah Xian, I'm afraid, it's too late." Right Xian sighed lowly, turned around, and left Jinhuaxuan by himself, leaving Mu Xinxian alone, standing and indifferent.
