As soon as Chu Chen woke up, he came out of the house suddenly, and felt a gust of wind coming towards him, the wind smelled of smoke and burnt.
"What's going on?" Chu Chen raised his head and saw the flames in the distance. The flames were so red that they dyed half of the sky red.
"It was probably a lightning strike that ignited the house." Mu Tiankuo said.
While the two were talking, Lu Jing came out of the room with Mu Tian/Xing hanging on his body.
Mu Tiankuo turned his head to look, and asked, "Why are you in his room?"
Lu Jing was woken up by the sound of knocking on the door in her dream, and she still hadn't recovered from her senses at this moment, when she was questioned by Mu Tiankuo, she hurriedly planned to explain.But Mu Tian/Xing took the lead and said: "Ninth brother, he insisted on dragging me to sleep together. I sprained my ankle, so I can't help him."
When Mu Tiankuo heard the words, he looked at Lu Tong with a bit of displeasure on his expression.
Lu Jing looked innocent, if he hadn't been in front of Mu Tiankuo, he would have smashed the little devil's head to death!
"If such a strong wind blows down in this direction, will it burn here?" Chu Chen asked.
"Gu has already sent people to put out the fire, but this place is not safe after all, if something happens later, we will have time to leave immediately." Mu Tiankuo said.
Lu Jing looked at the fire in the distance, frowned and asked, "Where is the fire?"
"It is said to be a place called Wangjiatun." Mu Tiankuo said.
"Wangjiatun?" Lu Jing pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it far from Lujiao Town?"
"It should be next to each other, right?" Mu Tiankuo's entourage named Lin Dong said.
Lu Xuan was startled when he heard the words, and subconsciously looked at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen immediately reacted and asked, "Is...that town?"
"How many Antler towns are there in your area?" Lu Jing asked.
"There should be only this one near the capital, right?" Lin Dong said, "The town is not too big, but it is quite lively, with many merchants coming and going..."
It's over, from this description, it must be the town where Lu Jing placed Concubine Rong.
Chu Chen's heart sank, he didn't expect that the place where Lu Jing placed Concubine Rong was so close to Bie Yuan!
"What's wrong?" Mu Tiankuo noticed Chu Chen's strangeness and asked.
Chu Chen said, "I... Chongyang is there."
"Why is Chongyang there?" Mu Tiankuo asked in doubt.
Chu Chen looked at Mu Tiankuo, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.
Seeing this, Lu Jing hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Lu will go over to have a look now, I think the fire won't reach there for a while."
After saying that, Lu Jing put down Mu Tian/Xing on his back, and was about to leave, but Chu Chen hurriedly said, "I'll go with you."
Even though he knew that the fire wouldn't reach there for a while, Chu Chen couldn't be worried.
If something happens to Concubine Rong, how will he explain it to Princess Ning'an?
Mu Tiankuo frowned, grabbed Chu Chen's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Chu Chen's wrist was painfully pinched by Mu Tiankuo, and he realized that the other party was a little unhappy.
This matter happened so suddenly that Chu Chen didn't even have time to react.He originally thought that when he was sure that Mu Tiankuo could accept him and the child, he would slowly tell the other party about Concubine Rong.Thinking about Mu Tiankuo's character, he wouldn't be able to accept Concubine Rong, and then he would build a house in Wangcheng and take her over.
But now that the matter is in front of our eyes, we should not be able to hide it if we want to hide it. If we insist on hiding it, it will only increase Mu Tiankuo's suspicion, and it will be counterproductive.Thinking of this, Chu Chen turned his heart and said, "My mother is there."
"Concubine Rong?" Mu Tiankuo asked, "Why is she in Lujiao Town?"
"It's a long story." Chu Chen hurriedly explained to him: "The third brother wanted to trade me for pills with you, so I took the opportunity to negotiate with him and asked him to play tricks in front of the emperor. My mother brought it out of the palace."
"You... just agreed to get married in order to take her out of the palace?" Mu Tiankuo asked.
"At that time, I thought that neither the left nor the right could refuse this marriage, so I might as well negotiate a condition with him." Chu Chen said.
As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, Mu Tiankuo's expression darkened, and Chu Chen immediately realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.Not long ago, Mu Tiankuo confronted the national teacher face to face at the palace banquet, accusing the other party of taking the marriage as a deal.Unexpectedly, for Chu Chen, this marriage was just a bargaining chip for concubine Rong to go out of the palace and make meritorious service for Lu Jing by the way.
"You came to Wangcheng, did you really never think that it was for me?" Mu Tiankuo asked.
Chu Chen was stabbed by Mu Tiankuo's disappointed eyes, his heart froze, and he said: "I just don't want to leave her to suffer alone, it's not...it's this time, can we not talk about this first? You Didn't you tell me tonight that the past doesn't matter anymore, you want to be like me before?"
"In your heart, have you ever had a past with me?" Mu Tiankuo asked.
"You..." Chu Chen was a little annoyed by his questioning, and was about to explode, but heard a guard trotting over behind him, and said to Mu Tiankuo: "Your Highness, everyone is screaming, waiting for His Highness to order .”
Mu Tiankuo glanced at Chu Chen when he heard the words, and said in a slow tone: "You stay, you are not allowed to go anywhere, and I will bring him back for you alone."
"Lin Dong, leave a small group of people to protect the safety of the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness, and the others will go with Gu." After saying that, Mu Tiankuo glanced at Lu Jing again, and said, "You know the place, go with Gu. "
"Your Highness..." Chu Chen called out.
"Gu is not in danger for you, there are Gu people besides your mother." Mu Tiankuo said to Chu Shen.
When Mu Tiankuo said this, the emotions on his face had already subsided, and he had the air of a monarch.
Chu Chen looked at his handsome and resolute side face, and his anxious heart suddenly became at ease.
At that moment, Chu Chen suddenly realized that he might have underestimated Mu Tiankuo all this time.Back then, because of that cup of poisoned wine, he was resentful and afraid of Mu Tiankuo, wishing to avoid him like a snake.If that glass of wine really had nothing to do with the other party, wouldn't he have wronged the other party all along?
"I will count every word Gu said to you, and wait for Gu to come back." Mu Tiankuo took Chu Chen's hand, stuffed something into Chu Chen's hand, and whispered in Chu Chen's ear: "Promise me that you will never hide anything from me in the future."
After Mu Tiankuo said that, he took the people away, Chu Chen opened his palm, and found that what the other party gave him just now was the purse he was carrying with him.It was only then that Chu Chen remembered that when he was in the hot spring pool, he left his purse there because he was too anxious to leave.Later, he made up his mind to confess to Mu Tiankuo, but he also forgot about the purse.
"Sister-in-law, what did Brother Jiu give you?" Mu Tian/Xing asked curiously.
Chu Chen was full of thoughts, and immediately opened the purse to take a look. The broken silver and gold leaves were still there, but the medicine bag was gone.Chu Chen was startled, and secretly thought that Mu Tiankuo took the medicine bag?Does that mean that the other party already knew about it?
He was a little apprehensive at first, but then he reacted.
Mu Tiankuo took the medicine away, which meant that the other party did not allow him to hurt the child.
This means that he accepted the child?
Chu Chen's heart was beating wildly, half confused, half relieved.
"Is this an amulet?" Mu Tian/Xing asked, pointing to the corner of the amulet in his purse.
Chu Chen took out the amulet, but found that it was not the one Lu Jing gave him before, but a new one.The style of this new amulet looked exquisite, but Chu Chen had never seen it before.
"I have this too." Mu Tian/Xing took out an almost identical thing from his bosom, and said, "This is what my mother begged for us before. Brother Jiu and I each wear it every day and never leave it." body, didn’t expect him to give it to you?”
Holding the amulet in his hand, Chu Chen suddenly felt something was wrong.
Did Mu Tiankuo exchange a talisman with him?
But... the one in his purse belongs to Lu Guan
At the gate of Bieyuan, Mu Tiankuo ordered his soldiers and was about to set off when Chu Chen hurriedly chased him out.
Mu Tiankuo was still holding the rein in his hand, and said to Chu Shen: "Gu won't let you follow, you stay here and wait."
"I... didn't want to follow." Chu Chen asked with some embarrassment: "Did you take the amulet from my purse?"
Mu Tiankuo showed a rare awkward expression, and said, "Why, you are not willing to give up to Gu?"
"No." Chu Chen said, "It was given to me by Lu Xuan."
Mu Tiankuo's face darkened when he heard the words, and a layer of undisguised anger quickly appeared in his eyes.
He has already reached this point, why is he still not worth a Lu Jing?
Even a small amulet, Lu Jing would come out to make trouble!
Mu Tiankuo took out the amulet from his bosom, trying to suppress the resentment in his heart, but saw Chu Chen suddenly approached a few steps, and whispered in his ear: "Throw away his amulet, I will give you a new one." Yes." After saying that, Chu Chen leaned closer to Mu Tian's broad neck, avoiding everyone's eyes, and kissed there.
The kiss was fleeting, and before Mu Tiankuo had time to respond, Chu Chen turned and left.But the light touch fell on his neck, with a warmth that could melt ice and snow, refreshing his heart.Even if he knew that Chu Chen's move was mostly just reciprocation, just to repay the love of his amulet, but so what?
This was the first time Chu Chen took the initiative to get close to him after he arrived in Wangcheng.
Mu Tian's broad face remains motionless, but his heart has long been discriminating between things.
"Return it to its original owner." Mu Tiankuo got on his horse and returned the amulet to Lu Jing.
Lu Guan: ...
It's not my business?

"What's going on?" Chu Chen raised his head and saw the flames in the distance. The flames were so red that they dyed half of the sky red.
