Chapter 269: Elopement

Mu Lanji stared at Qiao Jingyuan angrily, and just wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Xu Lianyi: "Don't say any more, go back and think about your relationship with Qiao Jiming." I don't want the next time I see you, you're still struggling with it. ”

"But......" As soon as Mu Lanji opened his mouth, he saw Qiao Jingyuan's smiling face, so he swallowed what he wanted to say, turned around and ran out.

For a few days, Mu Lan was a little depressed, and he never went out of the palace, and only sat on the recliner in front of the courtyard all day long, and did not speak. Even Mu Yunting found some clues.

"Why have you been so quiet lately, have you encountered something?" One day, Mu Yunting went down to see her in the morning. This little girl has never been idle before, and now I don't know why she suddenly became so boring.

Seeing that it was him, Mu Lanji reluctantly cheered up: "Brother Huang, the queen mother asked me to think carefully about the relationship with Qiao Jiming." I'm thinking about it. ”

What else can she come up with like this, Mu Yunting couldn't help laughing: "Then have you thought of anything?" In fact, he has always felt that feelings can't be forced, and once he really likes it, it is difficult to change it.

Mu Lanji lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I have been thinking about it for many days, and I find that I still like him." Even though he knew that I couldn't be with him, he couldn't help it. Brother Huang, what do you say?"

Mu Yunting sat down beside her, looked at her somewhat haggard face, and said comfortingly: "Then what is your mind, do you want to be with him?"

"Yes, even if you all object, I still like him. "For some reason, Mu Lanji just wants to say what is on his mind at this moment.

She looked up, a little confused in her eyes, but there was still a hint of determination. Hearing her say this, Mu Yunting's eyes flashed with hesitation, since she liked him so much, why couldn't she fulfill them.

He stood up and patted Mu Lan's head: "I already know what you mean, I'll go and discuss with the queen in a while, and I will definitely bring your meaning." ”

Mu Lanji's eyes suddenly became flexible, and Mu Yunting couldn't help but be a little amused. Sure enough, it's just a little girl, and she won't hide her thoughts at all.

In Weiyang Palace, Mu Yunting mentioned this issue to Xu Lianyi again: "I think the matter of Mu Lan's nationality still has to respect her own choice. Since she really likes Qiao Jiming, why don't we fulfill them?"

"Naturally, I want her to be with someone she likes. Xu Lianyi sighed and said slowly: "However, you also know Qiao Jiming's identity, I am worried that Mu Lan's nationality will be harmed. ”

Mu Yunting also knew what she was worried about, so he took her hand next to her and said, "In case he really likes Mu Lan, wouldn't it be equivalent to breaking up a good marriage if you do this." ”

Xu Lianyi lowered her head and thought about it carefully. What he said also makes sense, emotional things are different from others, and only when you are in them can you feel it the deepest. She made a decision for Mu Lan's nationality like this, she felt that it was for her own good, but maybe it delayed her.

Thinking of this, she smiled sweetly at Mu Yunting: "Then what do you think? I also hope that Mu Lanji can find someone who really loves her, just like you love me." ”

Mu Yunting hugged her in his arms: "This matter, let's do it according to Mu Lan's own wishes, let's not interfere." ”

Although Xu Lianyi agreed not to interfere again, she was still a little uneasy: "It's just that the two of them have different identities after all, if they are really together, I'm afraid there will still be some trouble." ”

"I've thought about this for a long time. I plan to put forward conditions to Qiao Jiming, and he can only marry Mulan if he has really made achievements. In this case, it is also an opportunity for him. This is what Mu Yunting just thought of on the way here.

Xu Lianyi thought carefully about the conditions he proposed, and found that this was indeed the best way, so she said with a smile: "This sounds good, I'll go and tell her tomorrow." This child has been staying in his palace for the past few days, and I am a little worried. ”

On the second day, Xu Lianyi went to the palace of Mulan's nationality in person. She obviously didn't have a good rest yesterday, and her eyes were still a little blank.

"I've seen the Queen Mother. Mulan bowed.

Xu Lianyi hurriedly helped her up and said with a smile: "What, are you still thinking about Qiao Jiming?"

She bowed her head and said, "I know it's impossible to be with him, I'll adjust as soon as possible." Having said that, she couldn't hide the loss in her voice.

"I have already discussed with the emperor yesterday, you can be with him. Xu Lianyi said seriously: "There is just one condition. ”

Mu Lanji's eyes widened: "Is it really possible, what conditions?"

"We hope that he will marry you again after he has done some good. If he can become famous by then, we will not stop him. It's just that if he can't, we will think that he is not capable enough to be worthy of you. ”

Just that already surprised her. She stepped forward and shook Xu Lianyi's arm and said, "He will definitely be able to prove himself." Thank you for giving him a chance. ”

Xu Lianyi smiled and looked at the person in front of her, which reminded her of her and Mu Yunting. In the same way, you can do anything for love.

"Can I send him off tomorrow, he will leave the capital for Guizhou tomorrow, I want to send him." Mu Lanyi looked at Xu Lianyi carefully, wanting to get her consent.

Looking at her cautious appearance, Xu Lianyi finally said with a smile: "Okay, you can tell him well, you still have a chance in the future." ”

Mu Lanji said proudly: "I know, I will talk to him well." ”

Outside the palace, Qiao Jiming took Mu Lan's hand with a reluctant expression.

She also pulled him tightly: "As long as you can make some achievements, the imperial brother will agree to you marry me." I'm waiting for you here. You must not let me down. ”

"Why don't you come with me. Qiao Jiming looked at her with a pair of eyes as if he had suddenly thought of something: "In this way, we can always be together, without having to worry about so many rules, and there are not so many people who are always around to hinder us." ”

"This ......" Mu Lanji was a little moved, but more of an irrepressible fear.

She has been well protected since she was a child, and she has never run away with a man. If Mu Yunting knew about this, I am afraid that he would be very angry. But if you don't seize this opportunity, you don't know when you will see him again.

Seeing that she was a little hesitant, Qiao Jiming continued: "No one knows where we went, and they can't find us, so we can be together, isn't this something we have always hoped for." ”

Although she was very moved, she still asked with some concern: "Isn't it considered elopement if we are like this?" I was afraid that the Imperial Brother would be angry and ordered us to be hunted down. ”

"It's okay, he must be reluctant to hurt you. As long as we run a little farther and a little longer, they probably won't be chasing us anymore. Would you like to come with me? ”

Looking at Qiao Jiming's shining eyes, Mu Lanji nodded without knowing why. She really wanted to be with the person in front of her.

Qiao Jiming hugged Mu Lanzhi and whispered in her ear: "I knew that you had me in your heart." ”

However, his gaze skipped over her and turned farther away. There is also a gloom in the sight, which is incomprehensible.

The two went all the way to Chuzhou and walked to an inn, Qiao Jiming looked at Mu Lanji and said, "It's not early, why don't we rest here for one night today." ”

Mu Lanji was completely immersed in the joy of being with Qiao Jiming for the rest of his life at this moment, and he would agree to anything.

At night, Mu Lanji lay in bed but couldn't sleep. kept outlining the life with Qiao Jiming in the future.

Suddenly, the sound of someone talking faintly came from Qiao Jiming's room next door. She wondered who else would go to him at such a late hour. She sneaked out of bed and pressed her ear against the wall.

"What are you bringing this princess for, do you really like her?" said a voice.

Seeing that he was mentioned, Mu Lanji was a little curious, and he also wanted to know what Qiao Jiming planned for their future.

Unexpectedly, he just snorted coldly: "Like Her Royal Highness the Princess, I just want to borrow her to take revenge on Xu Lianyi and Mu Yunting." ”

Mu Lan's heart suddenly cooled. Is he trying to take revenge on the imperial brother? Isn't that what he said to her before all false? Holding on to the last shred of hope, she continued to listen.

It's just that the people on the other side of the wall still said resentfully: "With Qiao Guogong's affairs, how can I still like her." It's just that I can't retaliate against them on my own, so I started from her. It's just a play with her. ”

I see. Mu Lan unconsciously left tears. She ran to Qiao Jiming's room and asked in a trembling voice, "Is what you said just now true?"

Qiao Jiming didn't seem to expect to be heard by her, and was a little stunned when he saw her suddenly appear. But it doesn't explain anything.

Mu Lanji stepped forward and slapped him without hesitation: "I didn't expect you to be such a person." I really misread you. With that, he turned and ran out. Tears flowed down her face, but she didn't want to stop wiping it, as if she just wanted to get away from the place.

"I ......" Qiao Jiming just wanted to run out to chase her, but then stopped again. He could think of the hurt he had done to her. What reason and identity can he use to comfort her? So I had to sit down dejectedly.

After Mu Lan ran out of the inn, he suddenly felt a little regretful. How could she believe this person's words so impulsively, and now that the purpose has been pierced by her, he doesn't even bother to give her an explanation. Where else could she go now?

She stood silent for a moment, tears long since been dried by the wind. If the royal brother knew about this, he would definitely be angry, but he would not use her when he was angry, even if he objected to him being with Qiao Jiming, he was really for her good. Now it seems that she really looked at the wrong person.

Thinking of this, she began to feel sad again, crying and running in the direction of the capital.
