prince attendant

When Mu Qing heard such words, she felt even more helpless. He didn't want to guess, so he asked directly

"What exactly is the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness planning to do?"

Xilinjue smiled and said

"It's not that you don't believe my words? Why ask me this question again."

Mu Qing was a little dumb for a while, and had nothing to say, but Xilin Jue saw that he was still standing here, so he immediately frowned and said

"If you don't leave and stay here, are you really going to be a murderer?! Or that you are a prince's attendant, and you dare to violate the order of the palace!"

She was domineering and insisted on forcing Mu Qing to leave, but Mu Qing couldn't do it, he couldn't really let the princess stay here with a corpse in her arms, and when they were in a stalemate, someone had already rushed over , that is the attendant on Tingyun Mountain, who came to report that most of the people who inhaled the drug have woken up, and they have suppressed the people who came to attack at night, and they are asking why they came, and those who escaped have also been sent to pursue them. .

When he was talking, his eyes couldn't help but stare at the princess sitting on the ground and hugging a princess in night clothes. This scene is really weird. No matter what, the princess is hugging a strange man. He had the illusion that the red apricot was out of the wall, but he didn't dare to ask such a question, so he could only keep looking at it with his eyes, but he was very shocked in his heart.

Naturally, Xilinjue had already caught his gaze, but he was too lazy to scold him. Seeing that he couldn't hide it, he simply ordered and said

"Find someone to bury Toyohiko, or throw him down the mountain."

The servant hesitated and said

"Who is Toyohiko?"

"You didn't see it."

Xilinjue sneered, it was a retaliatory, self-abandoning speech

"Of course it's my poor unlucky concubine, but you'd better shut up and act as if you didn't see anything. If outsiders find out that the Crown Princess is having an affair with others, and shame your incomparably noble Crown Prince, you How long do you think you can live?"

The attendant tremblingly did not dare to say a word, and worked hard together with Mu Qing to lift up the already cold corpse, but when he touched the corpse, he couldn't help but say

"This corpse is so cold."

Mu Qing and Xilinjue looked at each other, and the latter said lightly

"Of course the corpses are cold. Have you never seen a dead person or a dead animal?"

Seeing the princess's indifferent attitude, the attendant didn't dare to say anything more, but it was a little too weak to deal with the so-called sweetheart's body in such a cold manner.

Mu Qing was in a low mood, and was not in the mood to talk too much. She buried the corpse in the back mountain, and then returned to the courtyard where he was here, but Xilinjue did not go back to her own room, but followed Mu Qing However, Mu Qing had no choice but to open the door of the hall, and only put down the bamboo curtain. In the middle of the hall, there was a curtain of light gauze, so Mu Qing sat outside. , he can do it at fifty, and it doesn't matter if he goes back to sleep tomorrow.

Xilinjue didn't sleep either, she sat on the other side and suddenly said

"Ruyu, if you are the adopted son of my old housekeeper, maybe the person I like will be you."

Mu Qing: ...

What he said was really unbelievable. Mu Qing turned his head to look at it, but he didn't say anything. He just drank tea. He thought that His Highness the Crown Princess might be in a state of confusion, so he should find a maid to match her later. People are flattered and outrageously out of place.

So I had to say

"It's not a funny joke."

However, Xilinjue seemed to have regained his composure because of this conjecture, and went on to say

"Ruyu, if it was you, would you like a woman like me, and if you were Toyoko, would you stop me when I want to marry someone else?"

Mu Qing looked down at the rippling tea in the cup, and after a while, she said

"His Royal Highness, do you want to hear me tell the ruthless truth, or do you want to listen to lies that even you yourself don't believe?"

Xilinjue was silent for a while, then sneered and said

"I'm confused. In fact, you have already given the choice."

"I never thought about having any other feelings for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

"You will choose to accept silently."

The two sentences were uttered at the same time. From Mu Qing and Xilinjue's mouths, they looked at each other through the curtain. Mu Qing turned her head and said lightly

"His Royal Highness probably needs to take a break. I'll find someone to cook soothing soup."

Saying this, he was about to get up and leave, he thought that it was not suitable to be in the room alone with the Crown Princess tonight.

Xilinjue watched his movements through the curtain, then smiled and said

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will expose your true heart? In fact, you are not as good as Fengyan. At the beginning, Fengyan could fight for a few words in front of my father, and when His Royal Highness said that he was going to get married, maybe you even You can’t even say a word against it.”

Mu Qing stood upright, under the moonlight, a slender shadow cast behind him, like a sword or a needle, fixed him in place and could not move.

After a while, he said with a wry smile

"His Royal Highness is joking. My relationship with His Highness is not analogous."

"How is that an analogy, ordinary master and servant? Do you believe it yourself?"

Mu Qing: ...

Mu Qing's heart flustered for a moment, but he immediately recovered. He turned sideways, looked at Her Highness the Crown Princess puzzledly, and said

"Why does Her Majesty the Crown Princess insist on being aggressive? There is no need to discuss this kind of question."

Believe it or not, will the relationship between him and the prince change because of the appearance of the prince concubine?

"Of course it's because I have a crush on you, and I can't bear you to be coaxed by the prince to be the perfect puppet he created. How can there be such a good thing in this world, who blindly gives but doesn't know how to ask for it? Maybe only the prince is like this." , so that you can enjoy this kind of love that doesn't ask for any response with peace of mind."

Mu Qing: ...

Mu Qing was completely speechless, he always felt that the princess was probably crazy, otherwise how could she say such unimaginable words.

Xilinjue still said very calmly

"You can stand on my side and say such things now, because the prince and I are not even close to each other, so you think it doesn't matter to you that the prince marries a wife and has children, but Fan Wu has nothing to do with the prince. A bit of encroachment, you will never have a good day in the prince's mansion, but if the prince has a soft heart for me, Ruyu, you really think you can stay by the prince's side, and you can't even say a word of rejection , if the prince kicked him out, he wouldn't say one more word of begging."

"enough!"

Mu Qing exhaled lightly, hastily and irritably, what the Crown Princess said was really outrageous, but what the Crown Princess said—even he couldn't refute it.

It was like a series of chaotic strings moving, which disturbed him, but these chaotic strings were not fleeting and could be forgotten after hearing them.

His heart was in turmoil, and Mu Qing knew that she couldn't listen anymore, so she didn't care about the etiquette, so she went out of the palace gate, only Xilin Jue's desolate and sad laughter remained.

Mu Qing couldn't avoid the mocking smile, she didn't think about it at all, and didn't dare to listen any more, so she could only leave quickly.

However, the aroused doubts could not be appeased.

Mu Qing arrived in the study and leaned on the bed. It was late at night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. His mind was circling the words of the crown prince. Although he was sure in his heart that the crown prince would not drive him away, if such a thing What should he do if it really happened, Mu Qing covered his eyes, and suddenly regretted that he came to Tingyun Mountain tonight, if he didn't come here, he would not bear a life, and he would not listen to the princess's nonsense.

However, I have lived my life inch by inch, whether I regret it or not, I can't go back to the past, I can only move forward.

Waiting for the long night to pass, maybe it is the dawn I am looking forward to.

When the sky was slightly bright in the morning, those villains who went to chase and escaped came back, but they all looked shocked, and many of them returned with injuries.

When he came back to report, he said that he had tracked down a place of bandits. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any bandits around Chengyang, but there are many bright villages in the forest, and there are still personnel training them. When they were chasing after them, they were found. After a fight, they found that the other party was very skilled, and they escaped by luck.

"Mountain bandit?"

Mu Qing was also really puzzled, how could bandits be so bold to attack His Royal Highness's chassis? Even if he didn't know that this was the Prince's place, it was considered a heavily guarded place, but he couldn't jump to a conclusion, and still You need to go back and tell the prince.

But what was faster than Mu Qing's footsteps were the messages in the crowd.

Those who were captured that night were all turned over to the government. However, before anyone could interrogate them, all of them bit their tongues and killed themselves. This attitude of ignoring death shocked the government and shocked Mu Qing. He didn't think ordinary Bandits will have this awareness.

And the other thing is that, in just a few days, almost the whole of Chengyang knew about the attack on the Crown Princess, and it seemed, as if, that the Crown Prince Haosheng wore a brightly colored hat.

Mu Qing walked through the street feeling uneasy, afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince would hear such rumors, but also felt that there was usually no one on the mountain where people prayed, and the Crown Prince probably didn't know about it.

However, he was absent-minded, and was stared at by the prince thoughtfully and probingly for a few days without saying a word, but the first sentence he spoke to Ji Zhao, who was in a hurry to find him up the mountain the next day, leaked everything completely.

"Brother Prince, how could sister-in-law do such a thing to you!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was leisurely fiddling with the chessboard in front of a chess record of the endgame, and said without raising his head

"whats the matter?"

Subconsciously, Mu Qing winked at Ji Zhao desperately, but the latter was in a hurry and furious, and didn't notice Mu Qing's eyes at all, as if he was the one who was cuckolded.

"How could she look for other men behind the back of the emperor's back! The emperor stayed on the mountain and didn't see her come up to see you, and she did this kind of thing, causing the emperor to be ridiculed by everyone, it's just, it's—"
