Chapter 55: The Final Farewell

didn't expect Mu Xize to give her such a response, the Queen Mother, who originally looked very proud, looked even more panicked than Mu Xize at the moment, and her voice trembled unconsciously, "You, you, it's impossible to ......"

Ye Ningxiang was confused by the conversation between the two, and didn't understand a word, what Zhaoyang Palace, what Guan Ju Palace, what mess. Now she felt that it was really useless for her to stay here, knowing that the Queen Mother had poisoned the former emperor and lacked evidence to denounce others, and she really didn't understand the conversation between the two of them.

"Nothing is impossible. Then, Mu Xize smiled and said, "We are a draw in this game!"

The Queen Mother, who was originally tough, spoke in a much softer tone than before, "Aze, you have been wronged here for two days first, and wait for the successful completion of Jingyuan's enthronement ceremony tomorrow, and I will clear your guilt and let you out." ”

"Good. ”

Somehow, Ye Ningxiang felt that since Mu Xize mentioned that she knew the Queen Mother's secret, the Queen Mother's whole person seemed to be lost, her eyebrows were tightly locked on her face that was still smiling, and her sharp eyes became a little dilated, looking absent-minded.

The Queen Mother turned around slowly, every step was very slow and heavy, and when the Queen Mother disappeared from Ye Ningxiang's field of vision, Ye Ningxiang also clearly heard the Queen Mother sigh, and her voice was full of loneliness and helplessness.

After the Queen Mother and her party left, Ye Ningxiang mustered up the courage to ask, "Lord Wang, what is the secret you are talking about?"

Unexpectedly, Mu Xize smiled first, and then said, "Hehe, the secret, I won't tell you." ”

Then, he lay down on the dry grass leisurely, "Little leaf, I'm a little tired, I want to sleep for a while, do you want to lie down for a while?"

Ye Ningxiang shook her head and said, "No, no, I'll just watch you sleep." But he was muttering in his heart: I slept for three days, and if I slept again, the pigs would be ashamed of themselves!

In this dark cell, there was no sound except for Mu Xize's extremely soft breathing. Loneliness, boundless loneliness lingered in Ye Ningxiang's heart. At this time, she was very happy, fortunately, there was still a Mu Xize who was locked up here, although he was asleep now, but after all, he was still by her side.

If she was the only one here, and she was the only one imprisoned here, wouldn't she be able to hold on here? Such boundless loneliness would surely drive her mad.

Fortunately, Mu Xize was accompanied by his cellmates for seven years, and his life was a little harder, so he would not be lonely in the end, so it seems that the emperor still took good care of him.

Suddenly, a layer of cold sweat soaked out of Mu Xize's forehead, his eyebrows were locked, and his face was a little hideous, although he didn't say anything in his dreams, Ye Ningxiang felt that he was having a nightmare, so he tried to wake him up from the nightmare.

"Lord, lord, wake up!"

Mu Xize screamed and got up suddenly, only to find that it was pitch black in front of him. It turned out that the previous scene was a dream.

Mu Xize raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat, settled down, and finally said: "Xiao Yezi, I'm sorry, I just had a nightmare, I didn't scare you!"

Ye Ningxiang shook her head, "It's okay, but what kind of dream did you have just now that can scare you like this?" You must know that Mu Xize is also a person who has seen a big scene, even when King Duan forced the palace, he never showed such a look, but now because of a dream, Ye Ningxiang was puzzled.

Mu Xize smiled at her, pretending to be a little embarrassed and said, "I woke up in a hurry, I don't remember any dreams." ”

This lie is too fake, Ye Ningxiang stiffened her nose, glared at Mu Xize, and said, "Oh." ”

At this time, Mu Xize, who was originally good, suddenly clenched his chest, as if he was in pain, and then a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes, and then his expression suddenly became extremely sad.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Ningxiang said with some concern.

"It's okay, I'm teasing you, I'm so happy to see how anxious you look!" Mu Xize said very inappropriately while laughing.

"Clothes for you. Ye Ningxiang snorted and said, then threw the big on Mu Xize's face, and finally squatted down at the farthest place in Li Mu Xize, turned his head, and didn't look at Mu Xize's face.

"Xiao Yezi, I was wrong, I won't tease you like this next time, don't be angry, okay!" Mu Xize said as he walked towards Ye Ningxiang, and then gently draped the big coat on Ye Ningxiang's body.

Ye Ningxiang felt that the resentment of being deceived had not yet been cleared, so she said angrily: "Lord Wang, you are so unserious, you should really lock you up alone and teach you a good lesson!"

"Yes, yes, Xiao Yezi, if you feel angry, just punch me twice. Mu Xize grabbed Ye Ningxiang's hand and hit him.

Ye Ningxiang felt that it was not good for the slave to beat the master after all, so she withdrew her hand vigorously and said, "Okay, okay, I'm not angry." ”

At this time, there was a smile on the corner of Mu Xize's mouth, and his peach blossom eyes were also wide open, his expression was very similar to the appearance of his confession to himself in his previous life, Ye Ningxiang's heart beat faster again, and he turned his head to avoid Mu Xize's face weakly, and he didn't dare to say a word more.

Fortunately, at this time, a jailer broke Ye Ningxiang's embarrassment.

"His Royal Highness King Ning, the National Teacher has come to see you. ”

Ye Ningxiang felt a little strange, it stands to reason that Mu Xize is now in prison, and no one will come to visit him at all, first, he wants to break off relations with him, and second, the queen mother or the emperor will not allow it. Now that Ji Beiyuan can come, he must have received the approval of the Queen Mother or the Emperor.

Sure enough, the first thing Ji Beiyuan said when he saw Mu Xize was, "I asked the Queen Mother for instructions, and the Queen Mother allowed me to come to visit you, and I brought you some food and wine." ”

Ye Ningxiang felt that since Ji Beiyuan was injured last time, he had become even weaker, and now he didn't even have the strength to speak, and every word he said was very vain.

The jailer politely opened the cell door, and then Ji Beiyuan entered the cell with a food box in his hand and a smile. There was a very low small table in the middle of the cell, and Ji Beiyuan first transferred the table to the withered grass, and then gently put the food box on the small table.

"Tossing for so long, you shouldn't have eaten yet, it just so happens that my meal is still hot, why don't we have a meal together!" Ji Beiyuan said with an uncharacteristically smile, it was a very calm and atmospheric smile, which made Ye Ningxiang feel very comfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Ningxiang felt that Ji Beiyuan always had a straight face on weekdays, like an immortal who did not eat fireworks in the world, but now seeing his expression, he smiled and replied: "The National Teacher should have smiled more than he did today, as the saying goes, it is less than ten years to laugh!"

When Ji Beiyuan heard Ye Ningxiang's words, he smiled even more, "The little girl is right, I couldn't see through it before. Then he looked at Mu Xize and continued: "His Royal Highness King Ning, this little girl is good, you have to treat her well in the future." ”

This Ji Beiyuan said about himself a moment ago, how could this suddenly seem to be a matchmaker for her, which made Ye Ningxiang so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. After smirking for a while, Ye Ningxiang replied: "Hehe, Master Guoshi, it should be me, a slave, to take good care of the prince, how can there be a reason for the prince to take good care of me." ”

Unexpectedly, Mu Xize suddenly grabbed Ye Ningxiang's arm, and said with a very serious face: "Beiyuan National Teacher, don't worry, I will treat her well and never fail her!"

A trace of sadness suddenly flashed in the corners of Ji Beiyuan's eyes, but it was fleeting, and then he took out the wine glass with a smile and poured it full of wine, "This wine is also daughter red, but it has not been added at all, you can taste it!"

Hearing Ji Beiyuan mention the matter of alcohol and drugs, Mu Xize smiled a little embarrassedly, but his smile was full of sadness, "I'm really sorry for what happened that day." With that, he drank the whole glass of wine.

That Ji Beiyuan acted like he was fine, first took a sip of food, and then took a sip of wine, "There's nothing to be sorry for, if you want to say I'm sorry, it should be me who I'm sorry for you." Then he patted Mu Xize on the shoulder and said, "Over the years, I have suffered you." ”

"Little leaf, pour me another glass. ”

As soon as Ye Ningxiang poured the wine, Mu Xize drank it all. Ye Ningxiang wondered in her heart, could it be that the wine was so delicious that he didn't care about eating and only drinking, saying that this wine was also a strong wine, he was not afraid that he would get drunk and unconscious after a few glasses?

"Although I love wine, the amount of alcohol has always been average, if only I could drink like King Ning like drinking water!" Ji Beiyuan's eyes were filled with envy.

"Hehe, if this is the case, the emperor will not cure your crimes, and he will also punish my crimes, blame me for not learning and not knowing, and leading you, a serious national teacher, astray!"

I don't know why, obviously the two of them are always laughing, but Ye Ningxiang has an inexplicable sadness in her heart, and she doesn't feel strange in her heart, why do you have such a mood. In just half a day, Ye Ningxiang felt that Mu Xize seemed to have a lot of things to hide from her, she thought that she had already known a lot of Mu Xize's secrets, but in fact, it might just be the tip of the iceberg.

It seems that it will take a long time to make Mu Xize fully trust himself! Probably thinking about things in his heart, after Ye Ningxiang poured the wine cup full of wine, he still poured the wine jug against the wine jug.

"Little Leaf!"

Ye Ningxiang was startled by this sudden scream, and sighed, and found that a bunch of wine had been sprinkled on the table, and scratched her head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I just got distracted!"

Mu Xize shook his head with concern, and then smiled at Ye Ningxiang dotingly, as if he liked Ye Ningxiang's current appearance very much.

"Alas, if only I could see it, take a good look at what kind of expression you are now, Xiaoyezi, it's best to see what you're thinking in your little head!"

"The two of you sang and harmonized in front of the old man, did you deliberately torture the old man here?" Ji Beiyuan stroked his beard and smiled a little teasingly.

Mu Xize made a very smug expression and looked at Ji Beiyuan, and then tilted his head, "It's you who is so angry!"

Ji Beiyuan's face suddenly became serious, "Your Highness, now that King Xin has ascended the throne, you have to be more careful in the future!"

Mu Xize also stopped laughing, didn't say anything superfluous, just nodded, and his eyes were unashamedly sad.

"Okay, you eat this meal slowly, and the poor road will retire first. ”

After speaking, Ji Beiyuan left quickly without looking back, and then the jailer locked the cell door again.

Ye Ningxiang just wanted to ask Mu Xize to continue eating, but she saw Mu Xize sitting with her legs curled up at this time, where Ye Ningxiang was sitting angrily before, and her eyes were full of sadness that could not be concealed.

"Xiao Yezi, today is the last time I hear Ji Beiyuan's voice. Although Mu Xize tried his best to restrain himself, his words still carried a very heavy cry.

Knowing Mu Xize for so long, Ye Ningxiang saw Mu Xize with such a sad look for the first time, it turned out that the previous smile was all disguise, he was like this, Ji Beiyuan was too, only he was still in the dark.

"It's okay, the national teacher will be fine. Ye Ningxiang comforted him while taking his head into her arms.

She couldn't see his face, but she could feel him crying, the kind of crying that she couldn't restrain even if she tried to restrain herself. After only a short while, Ye Ningxiang felt that her chest was already wet.

It turned out that Mu Xize, a person who was good at disguising himself and was cold-blooded and ruthless, would be emotional because a person was about to leave, and it was difficult to cry with confidence. Ye Ningxiang was at a loss, so she just sat quietly beside Mu Xize and accompanied him.
