Those meals were supposed to be taken with the young man to see the official, but at Mu Zhiyu's insistence, they had to be put aside temporarily, and several people returned to the lobby of the restaurant together.

Open the food box, there are a total of four dishes, there are soft-shelled turtle stewed black chicken, steamed beef, lotus heart mint soup, osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake, it looks bright color, very attractive.

Mu Zhiyu looked at it simply, and suddenly understood, and his cold eyes shot at the restaurant shopkeeper, "I didn't expect that the best restaurant shopkeeper and kitchen master in the imperial city didn't even understand the principle of food being mutually reinforcing, and wanted to impose the blame on others, so disregarding the lives of others, it was simply intolerable." ”

"What did you say?" The shopkeeper was taken aback and pointed to the food box, "These dishes are the signature dishes of our restaurant, and no customer has ever had a problem, so why did they get along today?" ”

"There is no problem with these dishes in theory, but please look carefully, this soft-shelled turtle stewed black chicken, there are celery leaves floating on it, and the medical technique writes that celery and soft-shelled turtle are mutually restrictive, and if eaten together, it will cause poisoning. There is also this steamed beef, which obviously has leeks in it, and leeks and beef will be poisoned. Dare to ask the shopkeeper, you have opened a restaurant for so many years, don't you even understand this truth? ”

The shopkeeper took a closer look and found that this was the case, so he was angry for a while, "Call me the cook!" ”

"Back to the shopkeeper, there is something at the back chef's house today, so his newly accepted apprentice is in charge of the kitchen."

"Whoever it is, call me!"

After a while, the man in charge of the kitchen today came, and after listening to the shopkeeper's words, he panicked for a while, "The shopkeeper's request for forgiveness, I didn't mean it." It's just that there was no coriander in the kitchen at that time, so I switched to celery without authorization, and it was because I was not familiar with the truth of food restraint that it was a big mistake. ”

"Now that the truth of the matter is revealed, you can let this brother go." Mu Zhiyu walked up to the young man, "I happen to need a guard by my side, I don't know what you think?" ”

"The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, not to mention that you just saved me, Childe. In the future, as long as the son speaks, I will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire. The young man clenched his fists and looked at Mu Zhiyu, full of respect and gratitude.

"Okay, then you go home and clean up, and come to King Ling's Mansion tomorrow to report." Mu Zhiyu motioned to the magpie to take out a bag of silver and give it to him, "These are for you to use to settle your relatives at home." ”

"Ling Wang's Mansion?" The shopkeeper was startled when he heard this, he had almost offended this son just now, but fortunately he didn't make a big mistake.

"Thank you, childe. I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept this silver. ”

Mu Zhiyu smiled knowingly, it seems that her vision is good, and the person in front of her will definitely be her right-hand man in time. "What's your name?"

"Jiang Yi."

"I remember." He glanced at him with a smile, "Since the silver has been given to you, you can take it." When you arrive at King Ling's Mansion tomorrow, you will say that you will find the magpie girl, and someone will receive you at that time. ”

Leaving these words, he turned around and left the restaurant. She didn't notice that from the moment she opened her mouth in the crowd, there was a pair of eyes that had been silently watching her.

The man in the ink-colored shirt smiled and quickened his pace to follow.

"Magpie, there's someone following us behind." Walking on the street, Mu Zhiyu felt that someone behind him had been following them, so he whispered to the magpie.

"Huh?"

"Don't look back." After Mu Zhiyu finished speaking, he quietly walked to the stall selling copper mirrors, pretending to look in the mirror and peep at the people behind him completely.

The man was dressed in an inky satin robe, and he looked noble, but he couldn't see it clearly because of the distance. Mu Zhiyu couldn't think of who would follow her, by the way, shouldn't Ling Yi follow her all the time? Now that she is being followed, why don't you see him come out to protect? You can't just report to Murong Lingche before you do it... Shaking his head, no, Ling Yi is not that stupid.

Mu Zhiyu quietly walked back to the magpie, glanced at her, and then walked towards the alley in front.

The man in ink followed them to a corner, found that it was empty, suddenly felt movement behind him, turned around quickly, and they had reached behind him at some point.

At this time, she was dressed in men's clothes, but she did not hide her delicate face, beautiful face and special temperament, which he will never forget. It's just that now, she has become someone else's woman, and that man is still someone he can't reach...

Looking at her bewildered eyes, her heart was filled with bitterness, she must not remember who she was...

The man's tall and elegant figure, the well-fitting robe cleverly sets off the extraordinary figure of a handsome noble son, his hair is tied up with a bamboo hairpin, a pair of pupils are as clear as crystal, the stars are bright in the middle of his eyes, his chin is slightly lowered, and he is looking at himself with a smile, Mu Zhiyu looked at the man in front of him, with a hint of familiarity, but he couldn't remember who he was. "Who are you and what is the purpose of stalking me?"

"You really don't remember who I am?"

"Do we know each other?" Mu Zhiyu looked at his eyes, clear and thorough, without a trace of deception, but he really couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"Four months ago, in Prime Minister Luoxi's mansion, it was you who saved me..."The man smiled desolately, it seemed that in her heart, she had long forgotten that she still had her own person.

Mu Zhiyu thought for a moment, then looked at his face again, and lost all his doubts, it turned out that they really knew each other, "You are Shui Mo Xuan?" ”

"It's not easy, you can still remember me." Shui Mo Xuan raised a strange and delicate smile, and his magnetic voice was clear and moving.

"How did you get here? Why are you tracking me? ”

Why I'm following you, I'm afraid I don't even know... Shui Mo Xuan smiled slightly, and then said softly, "I saw you in the restaurant just now, you are really the same as before, smart and proud..."

"Thank you for the compliment. But since you recognized me just now, why didn't you show up? ”

"You are my savior, of course I am here to repay the favor. I haven't shown up, I just want to make a joke with you..."Slowly approaching her, her smile was like a spring breeze, as dazzling as the first time I saw her.

The magpie looked at them in confusion, when was she in Luo Xixiang's mansion, when did Miss meet a strange man she didn't know, "Miss, when did you meet, why don't I know?" ”

"This... I met by accident before, and I'll tell you more about it later..."I can't tell her that I left a strange man in my boudoir in the middle of the night.

"Mu Zhiyu, I owe you Moxuan, I will definitely pay it back... I have something to do today, see you another day, and take my leave. ”

"Wait." Looking at his back, he shouted, "I didn't want you to repay you for saving you that day, you don't have to feel like you owe me anything." ”

Shui Moxuan stopped, his eyebrows lowered, no one could see the loneliness in his eyes, "I owe it or not, I have the final say." His eyes tightened, he took a deep breath and walked away without looking back.

Mu Zhiyu looked at his back and shook his head helplessly, "I said it, you don't owe me, why are you so persistent..."

Ling Feng, who was hiding in the shadows, whispered to Ling Yi, "You continue to protect the princess secretly, and when the princess returns to the house, go and check the details of the person called Jiang Yi, and make sure that nothing goes wrong." I'm going to tell the prince about these things. ”

In the study, Murong Ling Che turned his back to Ling Feng, his deep eyes swept over the Danqing on the wall, and he quietly listened to Ling Feng's narration for a long time, "You mean, the Prince of the Water Kingdom, Shui Mo Xuan, entered the territory of Ziling three days ago, and arrived in the Imperial City yesterday afternoon... Moreover, he also knew the princess..."

Ling Feng replied in a low voice, "That's true. Lord Wang, there is a sentence that subordinates don't know whether to say or not..."

"Say."

"I think that the look in the eyes of the prince of the water kingdom when he looks at the princess is very unusual..."Glancing up at Murong Lingche, he found that he was still facing away from him and did not speak, so he continued, "Maybe the princess can't notice it, but I am observing in the dark, and I have this feeling..."

Murong Lingche's heart tightened, he knew that this woman was very good, and there must be many excellent men who fell in love with her. Although he had been mentally prepared for this for a long time, he still couldn't accept it when he learned about it, and he would never allow any man other than him to covet his woman. First the King of Cangyun Country, and then the Prince of Water Country, maybe there are many unknown accidents waiting for them in the future, and these people are all important and outstanding people in the Thousand Continents......

"Lord, the prince of the water kingdom sent Ziling in the name of the envoy, but after arriving in the imperial city, he did not stay in the embassy, nor did he meet the Son of Heaven, but lived in an inn and concealed his identity... The reason for this will not be related to the princess..."

Murong Lingche was silent for a long time and said, "Continue to secretly observe Shui Mo Xuan, and report to this king immediately if there is any situation." ”

"Yes."

Ink Xuan and his entourage all reside in the Yuelai Inn, and in order to hide their true identities, they disguise themselves as passing caravans.

"Master, when do you plan to enter the palace to meet Emperor Ziling?" Chuan Xiang is Shui Mo Xuan's subordinate and the most loyal person to him, he knows the status of that woman in his heart, and he also knows the entanglement in his heart now, but he doesn't know how to persuade him to let go of the obsession in his heart.

"Chuan Xiang, you know what? I still can't help but go to see her today..."I decided not to see her, I don't know what to say when I see her, if I had known that I would lose the opportunity to pursue her when I returned to China, even if I lost everything, he wouldn't let her go...

"Master, your subordinates understand Miss Mu's heart. It's just that now that the wood is in the boat, it's useless for you to regret it, it's better to let go of your obsession and live your life again..."In the past four months, he has always felt the master's sincerity to Miss Mu and the pain in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that the eldest prince colluded with foreign enemies and wanted to usurp the throne, the master would not have returned to China in a hurry, and he was helpless when he learned that she was going to marry King Ling of Ziling Kingdom.

"From childhood to adulthood, I lived carefully in the calculations of my eldest brother. I knew that the person who poisoned me ten years ago was the eldest brother, but I had no evidence and could only watch him get away with it. My unruly appearance only hides that wounded and fragile heart... She, just a stranger, came out of her help to me and cured the poison in my body. What she gave me was a warm sun in winter, warming my weathered heart... It's easier said than done if you want to forget her..."
