prince attendant

Ji Yi looked at Mu Qing, didn't show any expression, just said slowly

"It doesn't matter if you let go, just chase after him."

Mu Qing shook her fingers, and couldn't help but want to fight for a little bit of life for Mrs. Mei

"However, they have already said that they want to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and they will no longer care about the world. From then on, life and death will be up to the heavens, and they will not hinder others. Is that okay?"

His Royal Highness sneered and said,

"In this case, only you will believe it. As long as you are alive, there are thousands of possibilities. Only the dead will not break their promises."

Mu Qing's breathing seemed to be stagnant for a moment, and there was a feeling of coldness in his heart. He suddenly felt that he might have never understood the real His Royal Highness, the cruel and ruthless methods, compared with pretending to be kind, knowing people and being kind , is the prince who allowed him to be lightly ridden by Tianyu and recognized by others.

Mu Qing didn't dare to think about it, so she shook her head again and said

"Why does Your Highness insist on killing them all, even if there is a chance of survival? Isn't it also an act of excessive persecution?"

He really couldn't figure it out, hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, even if they had such a disease, they would fend for themselves in the mountains and forests quietly, at most they would find someone to watch them, why did they have to take their lives at this moment.

Ji Yi chuckled lightly, with a hint of helplessness and mockery

"Ha, Qingqing, if you say this naively, if someone else hears it and thinks that like a servant, there must be a master, those who are dissatisfied with the palace will really celebrate. You believe everything, so easy to deceive , could it be that this palace raised you too well?"

Talking like this, he leaned over, stretched out his hand and grabbed Mu Qing's wrist, making Mu Qing stunned, and after a little struggle, under the gaze of both parties, His Royal Highness pushed Mu Qing's soft sleeve along his arm. Going up, on the wrist, there is a three-finger wide wrist clasp made of iron that is as light as a feather. With the palm facing up, you can see the thing bound above, it is a silver-white dagger.

The dagger that Mu Qing worshiped at home when he was young was given to him by his master when he first entered the palace as an attendant to the prince. Later, it stabbed His Highness the prince, but it was not taken away. Instead, it was still in his hands. For the convenience of his carrying, His Royal Highness specially asked someone to make a utensil wrapped around his wrist with extremely rare and light materials to replace the cloth strip he used at the beginning to fix the dagger.

Ji Yi's finger touched the dagger, and he raised his head and looked at Mu Qing. From such a close distance, he could hear the sound of each other's breathing, and even the eyelashes seemed to be touching.

Ji Yi said softly

"Qingqing, you have to remember that kindness shown at the wrong time is sometimes a dagger that can kill people."

Mu Qing's eyebrows tightened and then loosened, and finally she closed her eyes as if giving up, and sat down with her whole body relaxed, lowering her head and muttering

"I don't understand why His Highness insists on being so absolute. Obviously——there is a way that is more acceptable to ordinary people."

His hand was still held by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it was icy cold, and the coldness of the snow-covered iron could not be eliminated. He would not have felt the heat of summer when Mu Qing carried him close to his body, but because the coldness had invaded his heart, he could not It played a seemingly rebellious role, making Mu Qing's summer particularly difficult.

Thinking of something cold, I am always afraid of being melted and dispelled.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held the wrist for a while, but he didn't see any warmth back. He raised his eyebrows and said

"Then you don't need to understand, and don't ask about this matter again. Before this matter is settled, you are not allowed to see any outsiders, and you are not allowed to step out of the house."

Mu Qing raised her head, looked at His Highness the Crown Prince in disbelief, and said

"Does Your Highness want to put me under house arrest?"

Ji Yi pulled him to the front, reached out and touched the top of his hair, and said in a low voice

"It's not under house arrest, it just puts you in an absolutely safe position. My dear, you are innocent and easy to deceive. Look, just a few words can make you suspicious. How dare I let you go out to meet people and then be bewitched again? Now, let's pretend that you never knew about this matter, and everything will be fine if you are only in the mansion."

"If what His Highness said is true, and the disease is inevitable, will the Prince's Mansion be safe?"

Mu Qing broke free from Ji Yi's fingers, sat up straight again, barely at eye level with His Highness the Crown Prince, his eyes were full of pain and struggle

"Your Highness, I am no longer the kid who can be fooled by a few words. I have little knowledge, but I also know that His Highness is too ruthless. If others find out, they will definitely think His Highness is a cruel and arbitrary person. Your Highness You don’t even feel that your behavior—such behavior is no different from those arbitrary kingdom tyrants in history.”

"Qingqing!"

Ji Yi called him heavily, never thought that Mu Qing would say such words that compared him to those subjugated people, but seeing Mu Qing's stiff figure after being called out by him, suppressed the emotion in his heart. Annoyed, make a calm appearance and say

"Don't make me angry. I don't want to hear your self-righteous but ridiculous words tonight. I never think about what I want to do, and I don't need other people's understanding. Now go back to sleep and forget about it after tonight." Regarding this matter, I will treat you as if you didn't say these boundary crossing words tonight."

"You are the one who is self-righteous, Your Highness!"

Mu Qing opened the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince and stood up. He didn't dare to look at His Highness's disappointed eyes at the moment, but he was also full of depression, and he was afraid that people would hear him shouting and thinking that he was disrespectful. , and cried out in a low voice

"Your Highness, I can't do it. I'm a human, I'm a human, I'm not really a bird in a cage, I can't watch others die in front of my eyes without turning a blind eye, and I can't watch Your Highness heading towards the dangerous direction all the way without saying a word, feeling nothing."

Ji Yi pressed the center of his eyebrows, and decided not to listen to such benevolent and extremely boring nonsense from him, so he said directly

"You are too tired tonight, go back and rest."

At this time, Mu Qing quickly understood the meaning behind His Royal Highness's words

"If I go back, I won't be able to come out of the courtyard again, right?"

Ji Yi raised his eyes and looked at him, not in any embarrassment of being exposed, but just said very plainly

"If you don't want to go back to rest, I won't stop you from resting here. It doesn't matter if you want to go to the bedroom with me. It's not like I haven't done this kind of thing before."

Mu Qing: ...

Mu Qing's face turned pale, uncontrollably recalling the unbearable rumors, looking at the calm face of His Highness the Crown Prince, his heart suddenly understood, thinking that His Highness the Crown Prince might have known about such rumors long ago, but he didn't care about it, Could it be that he has already agreed with such a guess, that he is just an obedient plaything raised by His Royal Highness, and it is a gift for him to give it to the merchant, but it is not necessary, and he does not allow the plaything that cultivates his life to interfere with his serious affairs.

Mu Qing turned around and left, the first few steps remained steady, but after he walked out of a bead curtain, his steps became uncontrollably hurried, he went straight out, the footsteps sounded messy, Ji Yi leaned back , I just feel a little tired, maybe Mu Qing's behavior tonight is not so obedient and sensible, which is beyond his expectation, but just as he was about to close his eyes and take a nap, he heard someone shouting outside

"Young Master! Young Master! Where are you going? That's not the direction to go back to your residence!"

Ji Yi opened his eyes and listened to the chaotic sounds outside. After a while, there were fast and messy footsteps running in, stopped before the bead curtain, and said quickly

"Your Highness, for some reason, Young Master hastily left the mansion!"

When Ji Yi heard such a reply, it was probably because talking to the owner of the Chang'an Building had exhausted all his energy tonight, and Mu Qing didn't understand his painstaking efforts, and at this moment when he heard that he ran away in anger because of a few words, he was extremely angry. laugh, said coldly

"Then let him go, I want to see, where can he go after leaving the Prince's Mansion?"

"Your Highness—"

The attendant was aware of the extraordinary relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mu Qing, and immediately understood that this must be an angry talk. He didn't know what kind of dispute the two had in the middle of the night, but he was still worried, so he spoke again:

"Your Highness, the night is dark and the wind is high, it is really dangerous, why not go and chase the young master back."

"What are you chasing?"

Ji Yi glanced at him coldly and said

"Don't you have your responsibilities? He leaves whenever he wants, what's your business?"

Saying this, he stood up and went out again, the attendants hurriedly followed him out, thinking that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to chase him back by himself, but before he could let it out, he saw His Highness the Crown Prince going all the way to the bedroom Let's go, I really don't care about it.

The attendants looked at each other, and finally wanted to whisper

"This is really unprecedented. I don't know why there is a dispute?"

say again

"Although you are not allowed to go after it, but you can't speak in a moment of anger. If something really happens, it is as irresistible as a flower branch being broken and falling."

Someone immediately answered and said

"I've already had people follow me out, so I don't dare to let the young master go out of the house alone in such a gaffe."

So all the people were relieved a little, and they all waited hard, not daring to relax, because they were afraid that His Royal Highness would suddenly turn back and change their minds and ask them to pursue it.

And Mu Qing went out of the mansion with a blank mind for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he was already walking on the road outside the Prince's mansion. The long street was lonely and dim in the middle of the night, and in this lonely night, only the following The attendant made an urgent voice, and said repeatedly,

"My lord, my lord, where are you going in the middle of the night? Why are you really arguing with His Royal Highness? It's late at night, so that His Highness won't be worried, please go back quickly."

He won't be worried, and he doesn't need anyone's understanding.

Mu Qing walked straight forward, thinking with some resentment in her heart, obviously His Highness the Crown Prince would not listen to any advice at all, and would be reprimanded if he took the initiative to do these things, as if he was making trouble for no reason.

Although being blown by the cold wind at this moment, I also feel that it is a bit reckless for me to leave the mansion so impulsively, but I can't go back to the mansion - His Royal Highness must think that he admits his mistake, so he really doesn't want to leave the mansion.

But if he doesn't go back to the mansion, where will he go?

To stop Yunshan?That is also the territory of His Royal Highness.

Go to the academy?He is no longer a student of the academy.

To bother others?Mingguang had already left Chengyang, and Qinghu was in the Princess Mansion. Although more people maintained a friendly appearance, they were just personal friendships like accidental water, and it was even more impossible to visit in such a late night.
