looked at the girl in front of him, and walked closer and closer to her.

Mu Yanzong's heart was a little stupid for a while.

A pair of hot eyes, as if they were going to completely wrap Sister Jing Zhao.

Ye Jingzhao had already sensed the strangeness of Mu Yanzong in front of him.

She could only hang her head, pretending not to see.

His cheeks were already hot and red, and the heat spread all the way to the back of his ears and then to his neck.

She wanted to slow down, but the countless scrutinizing eyes behind her forced her to speed up her pace.

"Master Mu, let's go."

She finally walked to Mu Yanzong's side, and seeing that he was still stunned, Ye Jingzhao opened his mouth and said softly.

Mu Yanzong came back to his senses, and a strange crimson appeared on his face.

He coughed lightly twice, smiling to ease the embarrassment on his face.

"Well, let's go."

In the end, he just said that.

This royal garden, Mu Yanzong came with his parents several times before.

At that time, my father was still alive and well.

Every year, he would go hunting in the royal garden with the Son of Heaven.

Since he was six years old, after he came to the royal garden, he did not continue to hide behind his mother as before.

Instead, he changed into a military uniform, and with his father, he was hired in the hunting ground.

His riding and archery martial arts were patiently taught to him by his father himself.

At that time, my father often worried that he was too young to hold his temper.

So he always slowly tricked him into learning from his father.

Fortunately, he did not disappoint his father in the end.

Thinking of his father, Mu Yanzong's heart inevitably swelled with a touch of loneliness.

Ye Jingzhao, who was following him, saw his lonely back.

Thinking about it in his heart, I am afraid that he remembered something unhappy.

"Master Mu, where are we going?"

Ye Jingzhao diverted the topic, hoping to bring Mu Yanzong out of that sad mood.

The girl's gentle voice sounded in his ears, and Mu Yanzong sank into the thoughts of memory, and then he was pulled back little by little.

"Sister Jingzhao, I'll take you to a mountain spring that not many people know about, and the scenery is extremely beautiful."

Mu Yanzong opened his mouth and said to her.

In fact, that mountain spring was discovered when he went into the royal garden with his father to hunt.

The spring water has a constant temperature throughout the year, and flowers bloom all year round.

The spring water also has a faint and cold fragrance, and smelling it can make people feel comfortable and refreshed.

This hidden mountain spring was his secret base when he was young.

Every year after that, he came here.

Ye Jingzhao was aroused by Mu Yanzong's words.

So he followed all the way.

The mountain spring is in the middle of the jungle.

Although he had already prepared in his heart, after walking for a long time, Ye Jingzhao's feet were slightly sore, and when he lowered his eyes, he accidentally saw that there was a lot of mud on his skirt.

Even the coat was stained with a lot of dead branches and leaves, and the skirt was stained with a layer of muddy water.

She couldn't help frowning slightly, wondering if she should continue walking.

Mu Yanzong paused, full of joy, and wanted to tell her that the front was coming.

Seeing her staring at the hem of her skirt, she was in a daze.

Only then did Mu Yanzong understand.

This mountain road was a trivial matter for him.

But for Sister Jingzhao, who has been raised in the boudoir all the year round, it is an extremely difficult thing.

He was full of chagrin and looked at Sister Jing Zhao.

"Sister Jingzhao, I was negligent."

He wanted to say that it was better for him to carry her on his back, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he stopped this thought.

I can only apologize along with her.

"Master Mu, how long will it take?"

Ye Jingzhao is now thinking only that he is in such a state, and when he goes back later, he must avoid it, and don't let others see it.

"It's here."

Mu Yanzong raised his hand and pointed to an old tree not far away and said.

Ye Jingzhao looked up, and then he was shocked to realize that not far in front of him was an extremely thick old tree, and it took two people to wrap around the entire trunk.

She couldn't help but keep up with Mu Yanzong's footsteps.

The mountain spring is behind the old tree.

Above the clear spring water, there is a shallow mist.

Mu Yanzong pointed to the spring water and said, "Sister Jingzhao, you freshen up first." ”

He didn't touch the spring, thinking that he would do it himself after she had freshened up.

Ye Jingzhao thanked him, and the red dates that followed behind him took a bamboo tube and hit the spring water.

Ye Jingzhao went to the open space on the side, and then began to wash carefully.

She took a sip of the spring water, the warmth of which slid down her throat.

It's refreshing.

After seeing the spring water, Ye Jingzhao went to the old tree he had just seen.

She tilted her head and followed the thick trunk of the tree, looking towards the sky.

The intertwined branches of the trees are like a tight cobweb, covering the sky as far as the eye can see.

I don't know when, Mu Yanzong has walked to her side.

Follow her gaze and look towards the sky.

"In the past, every year, my father would take my mother and I to hunt in the royal gardens with the Son of Heaven, but now that my father is gone, my mother refuses to come here again."

"I know she's afraid to think of her father."

"Actually, it also carries a lot of memories of my father and me, and I don't want to come here."

"It's just, I'm worried about you."

Ye Jingzhao retracted his gaze and looked at Mu Yanzong, full of doubts.

"The second prince suddenly held this hunting banquet, I heard that it was Ye San's girl."

"I heard again that Miss Ye San invited you to come, and I was worried about you, so I followed."

"Master Mu, how could you know about this."

She didn't tell anyone about it.

Because the third sister Ye Jingyun suddenly invited, she expected that there was a conspiracy behind her.

I refused to come, and then I saw that Miss Jiang and Sister Lin were also coming, and then Sister Qian would also come.

That's when she thought about coming and seeing.

Where did Mu Yanzong find out about this?

"A few days ago, I happened to know that my father had left me some men, and I commanded them to ...... secretly"

After the words, Mu Yanzong did not continue.

Ye Jingzhao had already guessed it.

Mu Yanzong must have sent people to inquire about his own affairs from time to time.

I'm afraid that Bofu also has the chess pieces of Mufu.

"Master Mu, why do you treat me like this......"

Ye Jingzhao raised his eyes and looked at Mu Yanzong fixedly, wanting to find the answer from his eyes.

In his previous and present lives, Mu Yanzong never said that he liked her.

She always thought that in her previous life, Mu Yanzong couldn't bear it in her heart, and when she met her dry bones, she felt a trace of pity, guessing that she would definitely not want to enter the ancestral tomb of Bofu.

When I first saw her in this life, he was also grateful to her, and he never had a trace of side thoughts.

She always thought that Mu Yanzong was just grateful to her for her family affairs.

and saved his mother.

In fact, he didn't know that these were what Ye Jingzhao owed him in his previous life.

Now it's just a matter of repayment.

fell in Mu Yanzong's eyes, but he identified the girl in front of him.

She was sincere in her heart, and her hatred was clear, and she saved his mother from danger several times.

At first, he really didn't have a relationship with her in his heart, and most of it was gratitude.

I don't know when he had a different mind, maybe it was the first time he took her to see Mr. Ah Rong.

Later, she agreed to go to the border gate.

He could no longer see her as a friend.

There was a strong desire in his heart, he wanted to marry her, he wanted to protect her for the rest of his life.

"Because you are my wife."
