"At least you're by my side, and I'll have peace of mind." Huo Huan gently hugged Mu Wanqing and inhaled the fragrance on her body.

Mu Wanqing's whole body seemed to freeze, instinctively resisting Huo Huan's embrace, but Huo Huan didn't let her escape, Huo Huan's voice was a little hoarse: "I can't sleep well every night, thinking about you, thinking about you, for fear that something will happen to you again." I am an unfilial son, sometimes I dream of my father, my heart has always been very uneasy, but I have come to this point, I can't turn back......"

It's like a killing, Mu Wanqing is being protected, but she hasn't asked her what she wants, she wants to leave this battlefield, but she is already scarred, Huo Huan has done more for her, the more she owes, and it seems that she will never be able to pay it back.

Huo Huan can't sleep well every night, how can she sleep well.

It's just that she has to bear all this by herself.

"Emperor, don't think about this, it's better to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the courtiers." Mu Wanqing had no choice but to change the topic and not let Huo Huan's mood be so depressed.

After a while, Huo Huan let go of Mu Wanqing, although he was drunk that day and couldn't remember the intimate contact with Mu Wanqing, but he never doubted that he was not stupid, in the bottom of his heart, he had a subconscious, as long as Mu Wanqing was good to him, he remembered it all and believed it all.

He picked up the silver chopsticks, put the food for Mu Wanqing, and said, "You eat more." ”

Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, it can be seen that Huo Huan's happiest thing is to get along with her, Mu Wanqing is cautious, and she just took advantage of this opportunity to mention Xianghan's marriage: "I heard that the county lord of Xianghan pointed to the county horse, and they are about to get married." ”

Huo Huan's hand paused, the smile on his face was a little stiff, and he said after a while: "Yes, Xianghan is the oldest, and he should be married." ”

"But I heard that it was the county master who ......" Mu Wanqing glanced at Huo Huan and didn't say any more.

Huo Huan knew that there were many people in the palace, and this kind of thing would always be passed on, and it was not surprising that Mu Wanqing knew about it, he had no appetite, put down his chopsticks, and said helplessly: "Although Qiang Zhensheng is a fool, he is single-minded, and he is a good husband." ”

Mu Wanqing couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, did that Qiang Zhensheng really understand what love is and what love is.

"Your Majesty, but this is also a grievance to the county lord of Xianghan." Mu Wanqing frowned and said, "Has the emperor thought about it carefully?" ”

Huo Huan knew that Mu Wanqing wanted to intercede for Xianghan, and seeing that there were only Xiao Lizi and Yin Yuan in this room, he was not afraid to say anything, he groaned for a while, and then said: "Qing'er, this is Qiang Baitao's own proposal to marry the royal family, and I have no way, Qiang Baitao is proud and self-respecting, and seeing that he is holding 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, he knows how to persecute me." ”

Mu Wanqing was gloomy, she knew that even the king of a country had a lot of helplessness, but this was really a grievance Xianghan, and she sacrificed her happiness because of political interests.

"Although Qiang Baitao is your father, his ambition should not be underestimated, in fact, he is just afraid that his power will not be guaranteed, if he has the royal family as a support, then his own power will also be stable, I also thought about it for a long time, and felt that the advantages of this matter outweighed the disadvantages, so I pointed Xianghan to his son Qiang Zhensheng." Huo Huan sighed, he was also helpless in his heart, he had just ascended the throne, even if he wanted to recover the military power, it would have to wait for some time, and he couldn't be in a hurry.

When Mu Wanqing heard the whistling wind outside, she felt that her heart was very messy, did she really want Xianghan to marry Qiang Zhensheng.

"It's better to ......" Mu Wanqing wanted to say more, but Huo Huan was already a little impatient.

"Qing'er, don't worry about this, although this is a marriage, but in the final analysis, it is also linked to politics, and I don't want you to get involved." Huo Huan said softly, he explained, he felt that it was enough, and there was no need to say any more.

He knew that Xiang Han had also gone to Mu Yanrong, but this matter was approved by Mu Yanrong, how could Xiang Han succeed.

But in the final analysis, he is still a puppet emperor, he is not ruthless enough for Mu Yanrong, nor is he scheming enough for Mu Qizhi, he once thought selfishly, he might as well be a faint king, he is with Qing'er every day, he doesn't have to take care of political affairs, let Mu Yanrong listen to politics, and let Mu Qizhi make decisions.

Mu Wanqing didn't know what he was thinking, and thought that this was Huo Huan's decision, and she felt even more desolate in her heart.

The happiness of the children of the royal family cannot escape the fate of being at the mercy of others.

Huo Huan finally went to bed at Mu Wanqing's place, but Huo Huan was depressed, drank a lot of wine, and finally got drunk.

Mu Wanqing asked the eunuch to carry Huo Huan to the bed, Yin Yuan had already come in with a basin of hot water, Mu Wanqing smiled gratefully, washed a towel, and wiped Huo Chen's face.

"Miss, the emperor doesn't seem to be happy today." Yin Yuan looked at Huo Huan's still frowning brow, wanting to smooth his brow, so that he didn't have a trace of sorrow.

"yes." Mu Wanqing can also see it, but what can she do, Huo Huan chose this path, she will definitely be involuntarily, and she is also involuntarily, being pushed up the cliff all the time, just watching when she falls and breaks her bones.

"The slave and maid go and get a quilt, so that the emperor and the young lady will not be cold." The only thing Yin Yuan can do is this.

"Yin Yuan, no need." Mu Wanqing hurriedly called Yin Yuan, "You can stay here tonight and watch the night, I'll go over to the East Chamber and sleep for one night." ”

"Miss......" Yin Yuan wanted to speak and stopped, but she always understood that Mu Wanqing's heart was in Huo Chen's, and she was relieved, not to mention, she was also a woman, Huo Huan was intimate with other women, so she was naturally unhappy.

The east chamber has been uninhabited for a long time, and there is a strange smell in the house, Mu Wanqing seems to be out of breath, but when the wound is opened, the cold wind pours in again, and she can't sleep even more.

In the end, she couldn't take it anymore, so she got up, put on her clothes, and put on her cloak again.

When she opened the door and went out, she saw a palace maid who was keeping vigil and fell asleep with a quilt, she smiled slightly, and then went into the house and took out a quilt to put on the palace maid, and then walked out of the room.

The people in the palace were all guarding the New Year, and they were all asleep at this time, because in the New Year, there were even fewer Yulin guards guarding the New Year.

She walked slowly, rubbing her hands together, and sighed, and when she saw the smoke come out, her mood would improve.

After walking for a while, she was about to walk back to the room, when she heard a sound of footsteps that changed from small to loud, and listening to the footsteps, there were five people at least. There was a clicking sound behind her, and when she turned her head, she saw a man in a black shirt.

Under the man's feet, he stepped on a dead branch, which seemed to have jumped down from the palace wall.
