Everyone was frightened by Konoha's appearance, stunned in place, and Mu Beimo ordered in a deep voice: "Don't be stunned, do what the county lord orders." ”

Everyone woke up from a dream and went their own way.

Mu Beimo himself went straight to the small courtyard. The two mothers-in-law have been sent away by Konoha, and the courtyard is deserted, with a sense of slaughter.

Mu Beimo tapped twice on the door, waited for a moment but didn't get a reply, so he simply pushed the door and walked in.

It was cold in the room, and Mu Beimo noticed that the fire in the charcoal basin had burned out.

The fire is dead, the smoke is about to die.

Mu Beimo saw Konoha sitting on the bed with his knees crossed, looking up at the window.

A ray of morning light crossed the high cornices, and evaded the window lattice, covering the leaves, and there were fine dust flying in the light.

There was a faint sorrow between Konoha's eyebrows, as if it did not exist in the world, and it would dissipate in the light at any time.

Mu Beimo didn't like this feeling, so he opened his mouth to break the silence in the room: "You scared them today." ”

"Brother Wang also thinks I'm too vicious?" There was a faint mockery in Konoha's voice.

"No," Mu Beimo denied, "I just think that you must be very sad, Ah Ye." ”

After hearing this, Konoha's expression loosened slightly, she was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "It's the second time." ”

"What?" Mu Beimo didn't understand.

Konoha's tone was filled with heavy unwillingness and hatred: "The fall back was given to me by Gu Yunlie." ”

Now Mu Beimo understood, this was the second time Gu Yunlie gave up Konoha for the Gu family.

He felt that he should have thought that Konoha's strangeness was not because of Su Muyu's humiliation, which would only make her angry. Only Gu Yunlie's betrayal would make her collapse like this.

Mu Beimo was in a trance for a moment, feeling that he saw himself in Konoha.

When he was a child, he was extremely attached to his mother. In the little prince's heart, the queen mother is the most gentle and intelligent woman in the world, and she will always accompany him to grow up.

But then, I don't know what day it began, the queen mother looked at him with no tenderness in her eyes, only endless boredom and hatred.

He didn't know the reason, only that his father, queen mother, who used to respect each other like guests, began to quarrel, and the queen mother spoke ill of her father, even to him.

At that time, he was still young, and he didn't understand the undercurrent between adults, and he didn't understand why the queen mother suddenly changed her temper, he just cried and begged the queen mother not to leave him.

But what he got was the mother's ban, and he was not allowed to go one step closer to the dormitory.

How similar to Konoha is, they have both been abandoned by those closest to them for no reason.

The queen mother died, and Konoha's brother left her behind, leaving only the two of them, poor people abandoned by warmth and love.

He put his hand on Konoha's shoulder, trying to reassure her. Konoha turned his head and looked at Kamiki Beimo with concern.

Konoha's eyes were unexpectedly clean, unexpectedly clear, and unexpectedly full of fragmented despair and sadness.

She pounced on Mu Beimo, fierce, resolute, and desperate like a beast cornered.

Then hug him tightly.

"He's not my brother anymore!" The words hissed like a poisonous snake, and resentment flowed down the air like venom.

This resentment made her jump from the cliff with the determination to rush into Mu Beimo's arms who had been using her, and she didn't care if she would be crushed.

Mu Beimo's gaze crossed the window lattice and saw his frightened self when he was young in the morning light, so he raised his hand and hugged Konoha back, as if hugging his former self.

He suddenly understood something, something that had never been discovered by others, and even Konoha himself was not aware of it. Only Gu Yunlie had noticed some clues, but he didn't delve into it.

The life in the Gu Mansion before the age of six was not unaffected by Konoha, even if her memory of that life was blurred, and even if she grew up in the military camp with great pampering after that, the damage caused was not healable.

Her childhood experience made Konoha take her life very lightly, and she felt that her life was insignificant and could be discarded at any time.

She never lived for herself.

Her life is maintained by connections with other people, and there is no doubt that the most important one is the brother-sister friendship with Gu Yunlie.

It's like water and air, and it's the reason why she's alive.

And Gu Yunlie ruined this relationship with his own hands.

So the moment Gu Yunlie turned to leave, Konoha's life in the past fifteen years began to fall apart.

Konoha was desperate, fearful, and irrepressibly torn apart. She thought it was Gu Yunlie's resentment that made her throw herself at Mu Beimo, but in fact it was a cry for help that she didn't even notice.

She hugged Mu Beimo so hard, like a drowning person trying to grasp a straw with all his might.

Fortunately, Mu Beimo caught her and didn't let her fall to pieces, but hugged her in his arms.

"Ah Ye, I promise you, as long as you are still valuable to me, then no matter what benefits you can get, I will only choose you and will never abandon you."

Mu Beimo's tone was so firm, every word was like a hammer.

Konoha hugged him tighter, eager to put his arm around him, and after a while, he whispered in his ear, "Don't lie to me, I'll take it seriously." ”

Her slender fingers climbed up Mu Beimo's throat and tightened it a little. An unforeseen anger took control of her, and she jerked herself to her feet, pushed Mu Beimo against the wall, and bit him down the neck, leaving bloody tooth marks.

Mu Beimo indulged her, showed her most vulnerable parts unguardedly, endured her anger without complaint, and allowed her to cause harm to herself.

Until she relented, Mu Beimo was still gentle, patted her on the back, and promised again: "I won't lie to you, this is my promise to you,"

Konoha looked up at him.

The lattice of the window shredded into a messy shadow of the sun, and the pale girl looked at the prince with emerald eyes, and he looked at her as if he were looking at a broken mirror, and she saw a shadow of the past through her emerald eyes.

A familiar feeling reassured Konoha and she decided to believe in the promise, so that some kind of void disappeared, something returned to its place, and the fragments scattered in mid-air gathered together, making Konoha feel that she was still whole, only to realize that she was broken.

The endless howling in his heart since last night suddenly fell silent, and Konoha felt himself gradually healed under the wrapping of Mu Beimo's body temperature.

They embraced each other in the early spring, and Mu Beimo understood that from now on, he had already got what he wanted—he had finally opened Konoha's heart and gained an irreplaceable status in her heart.

Konoha was burned to ashes by the flames on the night that he was supposed to be in the ashes, and then in the early morning of the next day, he was reborn in the ashes.

"Brother Wang, I will help you and let Xiling replace Nanwan and become the co-master of the world!"

The promise given by Konoha was by no means a result of surrender, but more like a transaction of courtesy.

Mu Beimo did not accept it happily, but objected without hesitation: "No, Ah Ye, I don't want Xiling to become the co-master of the world. ”

Konoha sensitively felt something that could touch her from his tone, and she asked with some uncertainty, "Brother Wang, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Ah Ye," Mu Beimo held her hand and said solemnly, "What I want is not the status of the co-master of the world, what I want is the unification of the world!" ”

Konoha is a spirit, she knows that Mu Beimo has great ambitions, but she didn't expect him to have such ambitions.

When anyone hears this, they will ridicule Mu Beimo's ignorance. The unification of the world is something that the kings of all countries for many generations dare not think of, and if they can make their country as strong as Nanwan, they can already be called Ming Jun in history. But even Nanwan never thought that he could unify all the countries in the world.

Konoha was only shocked at first, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, a sense of pride suddenly rose in her heart, she was confident that she was a rare handsome talent in the world, if Mu Beimo really had the ability to be the ruler of the world, she Konoha naturally had the ability to lay down the kingdoms of the world for him.

Mu Beimo kept looking at her, and clearly saw the change in her expression. Konoha clearly has a pair of affectionate eyes, but at this time, his eyes are fierce, as if a flame is burning in it.

He smiled: "Ah Ye, I once said that if there is my name of Mu Beimo in the history books in the future, then there must also be the name of Mu Ye on the side." ”

Konoha showed the first sincere smile after being rescued, although it was only for a moment, but it was from the heart.

It's just that according to her temperament, the goal of unification of the world is tempting, but she always cares more about the present than indulging in the ethereal glorious future.

At this time, Konoha regained his composure, and finally had the heart to think about Mu Beimo's coming to save her.

She knew that Mu Beimo was unlikely to let her be taken away by Nan Wan, or watch her die on the battlefield, but she really didn't expect Mu Beimo to be willing to come for her in person.

Could it be that Mu Yicheng didn't want to kill her, so he called Mu Beimo?

She couldn't figure it out, so she asked Mu Beimo: "Brother Wang personally led the troops here this time, but what does my father mean?" ”

Mu Beimo's tone sank: "I came this time, my father didn't know that the 20,000 people I brought were also private soldiers trained by myself." ”

Mu Ye was speechless for a while, she knew the weight of this sentence, Mu Beimo's private army was extremely hidden, and the combat power was so strong, she had never heard of it, so you can imagine how much thought Mu Beimo put into it.

In order to save her this time, Mu Beimo used this army, this move will definitely not be able to hide from Mu Yicheng or Yao Hongzhi and others, if he is not the prince, this move is a crime of rebellion.

Thinking of this, she tentatively spoke: "Brother Wang is the only son of his father, and his father won't punish Brother Wang, right?" ”

Mu Beimo smiled bitterly: "Ah Ye, you don't know Xiling's national conditions, and I have never told you before." But now I have to tell you. ”

He sighed lightly: "Xiling is still martial, men are proud of dying in battle, and it is not uncommon for all men in the family to die in battle. ”

Seeing that Mu Ye's face was full of puzzlement, Mu Beimo further explained: "Although the royal family will try its best to let the parents and sons inherit the throne, it is not without precedent to choose the crown prince from the clan. ”

Nanwan attaches the most importance to the succession of the emperor, because of the status of the Gu family, although Konoha is a perennial leader of the army, but he also knows a thing or two about the prince, and now when he hears the Xiling royal family's approach, he can't understand it for a while.

"Although I am my father's only son, my crown prince is not secure, and my father wants to sharpen me, but he never wants me to threaten his throne. This time it touched my father's scales, and with those nobles, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to let me go. ”

After a while, Konoha said: "I always heard that the royal family has no relatives, and today I really believe it." ”

She knew that Mu Beimo didn't need to be alarmist about this kind of thing, so she asked again: "Then what countermeasures does Brother Wang have?" ”

Mu Beimo shook his head: "My father won't kill me, at most, I will be demoted to a concubine and placed under house arrest in the Zongren Mansion, you and I will plan slowly." ”

Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, Mu Yicheng naturally won't kill Mu Beimo.

But there is undoubtedly a world of difference between surviving in the Zongren Mansion and being the crown prince in the East Palace.

Konoha frowned and pondered for a moment: "What Brother Wang said is true, it's just that the unification of the world is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight, where is there so much time to plot slowly." Ah Ye has a plan, maybe he can break this dead end. ”
