In Princess Yong'an's mansion, Xiangyang Hou held a jade pendant in his hand, and his fingers gently rubbed on the unicorn carved by the jade pendant, this jade pendant was as condensed as water, so delicate that even the lines on the fingertips were clear and palpable. His eyes were filled with a shallow blur, and he was fascinated by his heart, and there was a faint smile on his lips, as if he was recalling some happy past.

Yongan pushed the door in, looked at him, and didn't know whether to enter or exit for a while. It's just that he didn't realize it, and he was still indulging in his memories, and he didn't even notice that she was standing at the door for a long time.

"Lu Qi." Puffing up, Yongan entered the room and closed the door.

The smile on the corner of his mouth slowly disappeared, and facing her, he watched the corners of his mouth slowly droop, "What's the matter?" The voice was slightly deep, clear and detached.

Yongan sat down across from him, "Why are you so abnormal in King Chen's Mansion today?" There was a table between them, but she felt in her heart that they were separated by mountains and rivers, and she crossed the swamp and walked through the snowy mountains, and tried very hard in his direction, but still could not reach his side. Yong'an's expression was gloomy, like a sky without moonlight and stars, a dark color, "Didn't we say that we would return to the fiefdom and not involve anything in the imperial city?" Why did you change your mind and insist on staying here? I see that you look at Princess Chen's expression today differently, is it because of her that you made such a change? Grabbing his hand, Yongan swallowed the sourness in his heart, and said bitterly, "Could it be that you like her, but she is already Jingrong's wife, and there is no possibility between you and him." ”

Xiangyang Hou withdrew his hand and said lightly: "Princess, you want to be crooked, I don't have any personal feelings for Princess Chen." ”

"Then why do I see that your eyes are full of tenderness? Lu Qi, I have been married to you for six years, and you have never looked at me like that, and you have never smiled at me with that warm smile. Yong'an's heart was like being pricked by a needle, and outsiders had looked at their husband and wife and Shun En's love over the years, but only she knew what it was actually like. They have been husband and wife for six years, but the two of them have slept in two rooms for six years, and they will laugh at the world when they say it.

Xiangyang Hou glanced at her, then withdrew his gaze elsewhere, "You are really wrong. ”

"Then why don't you go back to the fiefdom with me? Have you not let go of your hatred? Yong'an's eyes were filled with tears, and with her words, crackling and falling.

"Down? I've never let go! The Marquis of Xiangyang stood up suddenly, his hands clenched into fists against the table, he leaned forward, and looked directly at Yong'an with indignation, "Your father killed nearly seventy lives of the entire family of the General Mansion of my Zhenguo, this hatred, this hatred, I will never forget it." ”

The tears in Yong'an's eyes blurred her vision, and she laughed at herself in her heart, yes, she almost forgot after so many years, forgetting that the man in front of her was not Lu Qi from a poor family at all, but Mu Shulin, the son of the general of Zhenguo, who was ordered by her father to destroy the whole family.

Yes, Mu Shulin is not dead. The arrow pierced his body, but it wasn't fatal. It was only because he was too young at that time that he was injured like this, and he passed out at that time. After sending Mu Xuefu out, Jiao Niang came back and found that he was not angry, so she put him under the tunnel, hoping that someone would find him and save him. Although such hope is very slim, there may not be anyone to save him, and he may bleed to death if he doesn't wait for someone to come, but as long as there is a glimmer of life, any mother will have such hope.

It may be that God is merciful, and a brother who has followed Mu Qiying before knows that the General's Mansion is in trouble, so he thinks that he can reach out to the rescue. He knew the tunnel, so he followed the tunnel into the general's mansion, found him, and rescued him.

At that time, he was already dying, and many doctors came to see him and said that he was hopeless. But there are always miracles in the world, and with the ** of survival, he finally came back to life.

When he woke up, he didn't say anything knowing that the whole family was dead, only asked if he had seen his sister. He only knew that his father had asked his mother to take him and his sister to escape in the tunnel, but he didn't know who would pick him up.

The uncle who saved him shook his head.

The whole family was killed, his sister was lost, he felt that the sky was falling, and he even did the stupid thing of hanging himself. If the uncle who rescued him hadn't found out in time, maybe he would have really died more than ten years ago.

He is also a fortune teller, and he can't die a few times, but that suicide gave him a slap.

Uncle said to save him not to let him die again.

Uncle said that he was the only man left in General Zhenguo's family.

The uncle said he also had a living sister.

Uncle said that the man in the Zhenguo General's Mansion is a man who stands up to the sky, and if he wants to die, he should die on the battlefield, even if he dies at the hands of the enemy, he can't die at his own hands.

Uncle said that General Zhenguo could not die in vain.

Later, he recognized the uncle who saved him as his father-in-law, gave up his previous name, and dismantled the last word of his name into Lu Qi, which became today's Lu Qi.

The father-in-law treated him very well and treated him as his own son. has not married for so many years, and the two of them depend on each other.

In his early years, his father-in-law was cut in the leg by the enemy while fighting on the battlefield, and after that, he could no longer fight, so his father transferred him back to Beijing and asked him for a civil official. But he is a rough man, and he hates the crooked intestines in the stomach of civil officials the most, and he is not suitable for the unspoken rules of officialdom. Not long after he was on duty, he was ostracized, he was irritable, he had a dispute with his superiors at the time, and beat people again, so he was also removed from his official position and demoted to guard the city gate.

Although life is not rich, it is no problem to make ends meet.

His body recovered little by little, and his heart of revenge swelled day by day like a bud that thrived. In front of his father-in-law, he never said the word revenge, but he has been practicing martial arts hard.

And when it comes to the relationship between him and Yong'an, it goes back to six years ago. At that time, Yongan Yunying was unmarried, and she was the most noble eldest princess of Great Qin, and the most favored baby daughter of Emperor Xuanwu.

At that time, Mu Shulin had also grown into a young man.

In order for him to get ahead in the future, his father-in-law entrusted his former friends with favors and spent money to send him to Guozijian to study. Sixteen-year-old Mu Shulin has red lips and white teeth, beautiful as a crown of jade, which has attracted the attention of many noble girls, including the eldest princess of Yong'an, who is loved by thousands of people.

Yongan is a princess, she has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, although she likes him in her heart, but because of her identity, she has not mustered up the courage to confess her heart.

It's just that the wheel of fate is always unthinkable.

Over the years, Mu Shulin has not forgotten his hatred, he studied martial arts hard just to kill Emperor Xuanwu one day.

At one chance, he entered the palace to assassinate Emperor Xuanwu, but failed and was seriously injured. Although he escaped from the Longhuan Palace, the palace was full of guards who caught assassins, and he had to hide in Tibet. Coincidentally, he hid in Princess Yong'an's bedroom.

A knife was held at Yong'an's neck, and Yong'an recognized him. The guards outside searched him as usual, and she hid him, and in a fit of the princess, she threw the guards out of the palace.

As the guards left, Mu Shulin's tense nerves relaxed, and he passed out because of the injuries on his body.

Yongan didn't know why he wanted to assassinate his father, but she knew that she didn't want to see him die, and she didn't want him to be caught by his father.

Secretly invited a doctor from outside the palace to treat him, and took all kinds of precious medicinal supplements to replenish his body, and took care of him, but he didn't appreciate it.

She asked him why he had assassinated her father, and he said that he was his enemy.

She asked again and again, and he told the truth.

It turned out that her father had killed all his relatives, and he had come to kill her father to avenge his relatives.

At first, she was at a loss, it turned out that what was blocking the two of them was not actually her noble identity, but a deep blood feud.

But as he recovered, her dazed expression slowly cleared. She said: "One life is worth one life, I saved your life, and you also released my father." If you are unwilling, then take my life and resist the life of my father. ”

He said: "You are you, your father is your father, I am a person with clear grievances and grievances, and I will not kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

He also said, "Okay, one life is worth one life, you saved me, and I will release your father this time." ”

Yongan smiled with relief when he heard this, "Then you're not afraid that I will tell my father about your background?" ”

Mu Shulin was slightly stunned, and said firmly: "You won't, if you want to tell you, you will tell it a long time ago, and you don't have to wait until I am injured." ”

The young man in front of him has a steadiness that his peers do not have, with a clear and elegant charm, which is deeply attracted to Yong'an. As soon as her head was hot, she said, "I won't now, it doesn't mean I won't in the future." But I have a way to make sure I never tell anyone your secrets. ”

Mu Shulin looked at the cunning in her eyes, and his mind flashed the appearance of his sister when he was playing tricks on him, and couldn't help asking, "What way?" ”

"Marry me." Yong'an's face did not have a trace of girlish shyness, he was generous and calm.

Mu Shulin froze for a moment and shook his head, "Impossible, I won't marry my enemy's daughter." ”

"Think about it. Didn't you say you wanted revenge? I am the most beloved pearl of your enemy's palm, isn't snatching his pearl also a means of revenge against him? Also, if you marry me, you will have power, and you keep saying that your father was wronged, so when you have power, are you afraid that there will be no day to redress your father's grievances? I think that death in your father's heart is lighter than a feather, and the most important thing should be the reputation of your Zhenguo General's Mansion. Seeing that he was about to disappear into the background of the night, Yongan ran two steps and wrapped his arms around his waist from behind, "Shulin, I like you, let me stay by your side and atone for my father." ”

Mu Shulin pried her fingers away one by one, turned to look at her, and said solemnly: "Princess, thank you for your mistaken love, and thank you for saving me and keeping this secret for me." It's just that I'll never like you, and even if I marry you, you're just a leveraging in my eyes. ”

It was autumn, the fallen maple leaves hovered in the air with his departing footsteps, against the wind he heard her voice behind him, firm and autumn-like, "I'd rather be used by you than remember the back of your departure every day." ”
