Murong Heng said nothing, but turned his head slightly and looked at the pavilion opposite.

Shen Ruoxi was quietly admiring the scenery in the garden.

She wore a light blue skirt embroidered with hundreds of butterflies with silver patterns. On her dark cloud-like temples, a hollow orchid hairpin shone with moving brilliance in the sunlight.

Murong Heng's eyes showed a trace of tenderness.

He calmly uttered three words.

"She deserves it."

Then, he turned around and said, "By the way, Brother Duan Wang, why didn't Mrs. Wang come with you today?"

"Why mention her properly?"

Murong Xiu's smile faded, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Princess Duan Liang Zhirou is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites. Although she is virtuous and dignified, her appearance is very ordinary.

Three years ago, Murong Xiu accidentally fell into the water at a lantern festival and was rescued by Liang Zhirou, who exchanged breaths with him mouth to mouth.

He saved his life, but lost his reputation.

Emperor Renjing personally married the two of them and made her Princess Duan.

However, Murong Xiu was known as a lover of beauty and disliked the princess very much.

Murong practiced Taoism.

"Let's not talk about it anymore. There is a new oiran in Wanhua Tower. It is said that she is a rare beauty. Do you want to go and see it with Brother Wang?"

"Not interested in."

"That's right. Your heart is already occupied by a beautiful woman. How can you think about other beauties?"

Murong Xiu teased with a smile.

Then he turned his head slightly and looked at Yingying Yanyan not far away.

I don't know what I thought of, but there was a moment of confusion in the eyes that had always been unruly.

……

not far away.

Shen Ruoxi walked leisurely and slowly looked at the wonders of the rockery in the Royal Forest Garden.

Tao Ye pulled the leaf next to her with some resentment.

"Miss, those girls are gathering together and whispering again. I am suspicious. They are speaking ill of you behind your back."

"No doubt about it, for sure."

"You know?"

"Otherwise, why would I come so far? I'm just too lazy to listen to their nonsense."

Shen Ruoxi smiled and said: "The scenery in this garden is so nice, there is no need to waste your energy on a bunch of talkative women."

She turned around and took a few steps forward.

A pair of black short boots embroidered with gold appeared in his sight.

He raised his eyes and met an extraordinary and handsome face.

It's Su Sheng.

Shen Ruoxi put away her smile and felt happy.

"See Prince Rong."

Su Sheng's eyes fell directly on her face, and he remained silent for a long time.

Shen Ruoxi could feel the burning eyes without raising her head.

She didn't like this feeling very much.

His gaze was too sharp, as if he wanted to dissect her piece by piece.

"Why is Miss Shen so reserved? Could it be that this king is a cannibal?" Su Sheng said with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "Raise your head."

Shen Ruoxi slowly raised her head.

When he met Su Sheng's gaze, he was neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither humble nor overbearing.

Su Sheng curled his lips.

"You are indeed a rare beauty. No wonder King Ling, who has never been a womanizer, is so fond of you."

Shen Ruoxi's eyes flashed slightly, not knowing what he meant by this.

Su Sheng suddenly stretched out his hand.

"I heard that Miss Shen has great medical skills. I have been a little tired recently. Why don't you take my pulse?"

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi became more cautious.

Just as he was trying to find an excuse to excuse himself, he suddenly heard a deep and pleasant voice.

"My uncle has blue crows under his eyes and a sullen expression on his face. In my opinion, he must have excessive anger. He needs to eat light food and avoid getting angry."

Murong Heng stepped closer, his eyes fell on Su Sheng, and he showed a warm smile.

"Uncle, do you think what I said makes sense?"

"Heng'er followed Shen Ruoxi and learned to treat doctors?"

"I know a little bit."

Su Sheng's eyes swept between the two of them, and then he said with a smile: "It seems that Heng'er is sincere this time. In the near future, I, as your uncle, will have to prepare your wedding gift. "

Murong Heng also laughed.

"When the time comes, I will treat my uncle to a wedding drink."

"Then I wish you in advance that you will get married and have children and grandchildren."

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi's expression changed slightly.

Everyone knew that Murong Heng was inhumane and would not have any heirs.

Prince Rong is killing someone and killing his heart.

However, Murong Heng's expression remained unchanged.

Still unusually calm.

"Thank you Prince Rong for your kind words."

Su Sheng's angular face had a stern expression and he laughed a few times.

Then he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

When Su Sheng's figure disappeared from sight, Murong Heng's expression gradually turned cold.

Shen Ruoxi didn't know how to comfort him.

She coughed slightly.

"Don't worry, even if you are...ahem...I won't dislike it..."

Murong Heng turned his head and stared at her with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Then he suddenly reached out and flicked her forehead lightly.

Shen Ruoxi covered her forehead and saw him smiling softly.

"I don't care about what he said."

He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yuzi and Leng Ye beside him.

"Go and stand by, Miss Shen and I have something to talk about."

The two held their hands and immediately retreated.

Taoye and Lengshuang also understood each other and moved a little further away.

As soon as they left, Murong Heng's eyes immediately softened.

he said.

"Were you scared just now?"

"No, but Prince Rong...it's different from what I thought." Shen Ruoxi was a little confused, "Speaking of which, he is your uncle, why are you so close to each other?"

“Ever heard of a saying?”

"what?"

“There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.”

Murong Heng said slowly: "Prince Rong's ambition is obvious, but I am his obstacle. It is normal that he doesn't like me."

His eyes paused.

"And I heard that because my mother died in childbirth, Prince Rong has always been resentful. He feels that I killed his sister, and I have not been loved by him since I was a child."

Murong Heng rarely mentioned his biological mother.

This is the first time I have told anyone about it since I became an adult.

Shen Ruoxi suddenly thought of the pale and lonely little boy when she was a child, and suddenly felt a little distressed.

"It's not your fault, but I didn't expect that Prince Rong would care so much about the late Queen's sister."

"Ah."

Murong Heng chuckled lightly: "I don't believe this rumor. As an uncle of mine, family ties are not worth mentioning in the face of power. As his daughter, Su Tianling cannot win his heart, let alone my sister."

Shen Ruoxi was confused.

"Isn't it true that Prince Chuanrong dotes on Su Tianling?"

Murong Heng looked into her eyes and said seriously.

"Actually, rumors are often the least credible."

Shen Ruoxi didn't say a word, inexplicably thinking of the rumors that he couldn't do it.

She straightened up.

"Speaking of which, since you haven't seen me for so long, is there something serious wrong with your health?"

"Fortunately."

Murong Heng's eyes flashed slightly: "I just suffered a little bit, it's nothing serious, don't worry."

A little pain?

Shen Ruoxi's heart clenched slightly.

She could imagine that he must have suffered extremely unbearable pain.

Now he said it so lightly.

But when he was extremely uncomfortable, she was not by his side.

Shen Ruoxi said softly.

"I got the letter you sent me."

Shen Ruoxi touched the folded letter in her sleeve, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

"Your Highness King Ling, I have always wanted to reply to you, but I think it is more appropriate to say this to you personally."

Murong Heng narrowed his eyes.

"You said."
