When Mu Xize walked out of Changle Palace, he saw a familiar figure. Gonggong Xu probably didn't worry about the fledgling Mu Xize, who had been waiting outside the Changle Palace, paying attention to the situation in the Changle Palace all the time.

Seeing Mu Xize wearing a thick cotton robe and coming out alone in a slightly embarrassed way, Gonggong Xu, who was full of anticipation, instantly stretched his face, his hands behind his back, his back was half bent, and he sighed one after another.

The moment he saw Gonggong Xu, Mu Xize, who obviously had no fault, felt a little guilty, and said with a wry smile: "Hehe, I'm not good at the fact of competing for favor, but I will continue to work hard in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gonggong Xu sighed even more, and there was crying in his words: "In the future, I am afraid that the little boy will not have a future." The little prince has no power or power, and he is not a prince and nobleman dedicated to the emperor, how can the emperor give you another chance and pamper you again?"

Gonggong Xu didn't say anything more, shook his head, and left Changle Palace with heavy steps.

The speed of the news from the Darui Palace was many times faster than that of the Dali Palace, and Mu Xize had already smelled a strange atmosphere as soon as he returned to Longhua Palace. Those palace people who have not yet rested, or faces with no sense of existence, see him as if they have seen a plague god, and they are very obvious and deliberately avoiding him, as if he is some kind of catastrophe.

It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to spread thousands of miles, I'm afraid that he was treated as air all night in Ye Ningxiang's study today, and this matter has spread all over Longhua Palace, and even all the palaces in the palace. And the entire palace should also know that the face who was in the limelight and looked extremely beautiful during the day didn't know what he did wrong at night, offended the emperor, and fell out of favor overnight.

Even if Mu Xize's heart was beyond ordinary people, he was still unconsciously uncomfortable in the face of the scene in front of him. He, a man who stands up to the sky, will one day fall into a situation of competition for favor like a harem concubine.

The steward of Longhua Palace knew that Mu Xize had fallen out of favor, and he was only recommended by an old eunuch, and he had no foundation, so his attitude towards Mu Xize also turned one hundred and eighty turns, and arranged him in the most remote and cold and damp room, and spoke coldly to him.

Spring is coming, and it will rain more than usual, and although it hasn't rained yet, the sky is very overcast, and the dark clouds are overwhelming.

Early in the morning, Mu Xize had a very bad feeling, panicked and very uneasy. Thinking about why he suddenly felt like this for a while, Mu Xize suddenly remembered a person, Ma Zhong.

Could it be Ma Zhong?

Mu Xize hurriedly got dressed, found the steward of Longhua Palace, grabbed the steward's collar, and used violent means to get out of the palace that Ma Zhong was in at the moment, and then quickly entered Ma Zhong's residence like the wind.

In this world, there are many friends who drink and meat, but there are few true friends, there are many people who want to take advantage of you, and there are few people who want to help you. Ma Zhong's situation at the moment just confirms this.

The chief eunuch with the highest rank in the Darui Palace was lying on the bed alone at the moment, there was no one around to take care of him, and there was a broken medicine bowl next to the bed, Mu Xize guessed that this bowl was accidentally dropped on the ground by Ma Zhong when he was physically exhausted when he drank the medicine.

Mu Xize only knew that Ma Zhong was sick, but he never expected that he had reached the point where he had run out of oil and dried up, if it weren't for the strange feeling in his body this morning, he might not have visited Ma Zhong so early.

But seeing that Ma Zhong, who was once eccentric, was haggard at the moment, his cheeks were sunken, and he was lying on the hospital bed with a sense of anger, Mu Xize was sad, and it was difficult to suppress his grief, and tears came out of his eyes.

After the Adam's apple trembled slightly a few times, Mu Xize finally spoke: "Ma...... Ma Zhong. ”

His voice was very low and small, because of the violent ups and downs of his emotions, and even some words were slurred, but these two vaguely pronounced words woke up Ma Zhong from his sleep. He struggled to open his sunken eyes, which were already thin, and saw Mu Xize who was already kneeling in front of him.

Ma Zhong looked at the extremely familiar, but unfamiliar man in front of him in disbelief, the violent choking made it almost difficult for him to breathe, and after trying his best to calm down for a moment, he opened his mouth with difficulty.

"Master...... Your Highness...... Is that you?"

Mu Xize couldn't speak, he grabbed Ma Zhong's hands, which were already warm, and kept nodding with tears. There are no young and old people on the Huangquan Road, but sometimes God is really unfair, he Ma Zhong has never done anything bad in his life, why can't he live a long life? Why can't he be healthy?

"When I left the country and the country was destroyed, I heard others say that His Highness was not a human being, but a monster with six tails, I didn't believe it originally, but today I ...... Ahem...... But I had to believe it. ”

"Ma Zhong, don't speak, don't get excited. Listen to me, Gu Liancheng has already sent someone to find Wei Xun, and Wei Xun knows the whereabouts of the divine doctor Song Tianweng. As long as you find Song Tianweng's disciples, you will be saved from this disease. ”

Probably Mu Xize himself also felt that it would take too long to find Song Tianweng's master, so he hurriedly changed his words: "My heart is damaged, and I can't be used as a medicine to save your life, but you only need to hold on for two more days, I'll go back to Qingming Mountain, and I'll take out Uncle Rumo's heart to refine a life-saving pill for you." ”

Ma Zhong's hands that were clenched by Mu Xize suddenly moved, and then he opened his mouth again with difficulty: "Master...... No need, I'm ...... in this life Contentment. Can I see you again before I die...... I die without regrets. ”

"No, Ma Zhong, you are not allowed to die, you are not allowed to die, I am not allowed to die!"

Mu Xize shook Ma Zhong's body and shouted desperately, his dark eyes even glowing red because of his overexcitement.

Gonggong Xu walked to the door of Ma Zhong's palace and heard Mu Xize's shout, and his face was immediately full of suspicion, thinking about who was shouting in the house, and at the same time speeding up his pace and walking into the palace where Ma Zhong was.

"Little boy, why are you here?"

Mu Xize was all focused on Ma Zhong, neither thinking that anyone else would come to visit Ma Zhong, nor did he sense that there was suddenly an extra person behind him. Hearing this life's question, Mu Xize was shocked in his heart, quickly closed his eyes, stabilized his mind, and wiped the tears on his face.

Mu Xize wanted to show a warm face to face Gonggong Xu, but he rarely couldn't control his emotions, his pale face was very gloomy, and his voice was slightly hoarse, which seemed to be caused by excessive suppression of the emotions in his heart.

"I didn't expect Gonggong Xu to come here to visit Mr. Ma. ”

Seeing Ma Zhong's dying appearance, Gonggong Xu sighed again, his face full of sympathy.

"Although the official rank of Chief Manager Ma is higher than mine, because he is younger than me, he has always been respectful to me, and now I have the honor to participate in the management of the palace because of the support of Chief Manager Ma. It's just that the people in this palace have always been mercenary, and they knew that Mr. Ma had an incurable disease, so they avoided it one after another, for fear of bringing them bad luck. ”

While speaking, Gonggong Xu actually cried very emotionally, with a handful of snot and tears, which seemed to be more pitiful than Ma Zhong lying on the bed.

"A kind-hearted good person, but before he died, he didn't even have anyone to take care of, I Xu Guang can't stand this. So whenever I have time, I will come over to see Mr. Ma. ”

Mu Xize thought that Gonggong Xu was no different from other palace people, and he couldn't wait for Ma Zhong's early death, and then take Ma Zhong's class, and when he heard Gonggong Xu's words, he was a little ashamed.

"I'm sorry...... I thought that Gonggong Xu was also a mercenary person, but I blamed you wrong. ”

After a period of grief, Gonggong Xu suddenly came to his senses, continued to return to the first question he asked Mu Xize, and continued to ask: "Little boy, you haven't answered me yet, why are you here?"

Mu Xize was just about to answer something, but he saw Ma Zhong, who had just fallen into a coma, suddenly struggle violently, his mouth wide open, as if he was struggling to absorb the air around him. However, it seemed that he was not absorbing air, but constantly transporting the air from his body to the outside of his body, and in a moment, his cheeks were already iron-blue.

"Ma Zhong, Ma Zhong, you'll be fine, you'll be fine. ”

Mu Xize comforted Ma Zhong while delivering the pill brought by Father-in-law Xu to Ma Zhong's mouth.

"Ma Zhong, quick, take this medicine quickly. ”

Ma Zhong didn't take the medicine, his face was hideous and painful, and he quickly stretched his eyebrows, looked at Mu Xize with reluctance, and the corners of his mouth rose to hook a shallow smile before he took a breath.

He died with his eyes open and smiling, not dead and blind, but difficult to let go. He is not a person who has much pursuit, and he is easily satisfied, so he is full of nostalgia for life and the world. He wanted to take a look at the world he had lived in before he died, and remember Mu Xize's appearance more, even if he went to Huangquan and passed Lethe, he would not forget the people he cared about and the things he cared about.

In the end, Mu Xize did not explain more to Gonggong Xu, as Ma Zhong's subordinate and one of the fathers-in-law in charge of the palace, Gonggong Xu no longer paid much attention to Mu Xize's existence, and hurriedly looked for someone to handle Ma Zhong's funeral.

Heavy rain. The filthy sky seemed to have broken a big hole, and the water that had piled up out of nowhere was desperately tilting downward, as if it was a great taboo to fall to the ground at no longer set a time, and it would be damned.

On such a rainy day, no one would have walked around in the rain, but Mu Xize was a special case. He didn't have an umbrella, and he walked alone in the almost false rain and fog, his soaked clothes clinging to his body, showing the long, thin lines of his body, and showing a unique loneliness.

The palace people hidden in the palace corridor saw this madman-like Mu Xize and pointed their fingers, as if they decided that this face who had just fallen out of favor couldn't stand the blow and had gone completely crazy.

Mu Xize didn't care about this, or he didn't see these people hiding in the shadows and chewing the root of his tongue in his eyes at all.

Rain can calm people down, can make people's emotions get the greatest catharsis, Mu Xize simply stood in the rain and fog, raised his head, and let the cold raindrops fall vertically like iron arrows on his delicate cheeks.

It is another parting of life and death, he has lived in this world for nearly fifty years, and it must be decades, but the more sorrows and pains he has experienced, the more reluctant he is, the more reluctant he is, the more heartache he has, and the more heartache he has, the more he will do something as outrageous as today.

This is probably because he has affection and concern in his heart!
