In the study, Mu Zongying was engrossed in dealing with political affairs. From time to time, he took a sip from the teacup on the side, but his eyes kept looking out, looking absent-minded.

"Is Your Highness waiting for someone?" Ying'er, who was standing by and serving, boldly asked.

The last time the prince was furious and did not deal with her afterwards, she knew that it was Doctor Ye pleading for her. When she learned that the prince sent the man away, she thought that the prince was angry with Doctor Ye because of her own affairs, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Booty." Mu Zongying glanced at her coldly, stood up unhappily and walked to the door.

Calculated, Ye Xiuquan had been in Lu's residence for two hours, and with Lu Zongting's impatience, he might have succeeded.

Thinking of Ye Xiu lying naked and moaning under another man, I feel inexplicably irritable. I don't even have the mind to read the official documents, and my mind is full of Ye Xiuquan's smiling face.

what happened to him?He thought that after sending the person away, he would stop thinking about him and achieve his goal of revenge. Why did he still miss that person in his heart, even when he thought that that flexible body was about to have fun under someone else, he couldn't help it? Suddenly angry, he wanted to kill everyone who had seen that fair body to vent his anger.

"His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness." At this moment, a guard ran in in a panic.

"What's the matter, yelling, what a shame!" He glared fiercely at the guard, venting all his anger on him.

"Your Highness, Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye..." The guard knelt on the ground out of breath, regardless of the crown prince's anger.

"Tell me, how is he?" As soon as he heard that Ye Xiuquan was involved, Mu Zongying strode forward and dragged him up.

"Master Ye is back...in, in the bedroom..."

"What?!" Without listening to the other party, Mu Zongying immediately pushed away the guards, rushed out of the study, and went straight to her bedroom.

When he stepped into the palace door and saw Ye Xiuquan shivering on the ground, he couldn't say anything and could only stare at him blankly.

Ye Xiuquan in front of him was only wearing a thin tunic, his face was full of tears, he was in a state of distress, like a frightened rabbit, not only did not jump up to him, but looked at him with strange eyes.

Such eyes hurt Mu Zongying deeply.In fact, he had already expected this day, didn't he?Unexpectedly, when this day really came, he couldn't accept the fact.

"Zongying..." The disheveled Ye Xiuquan hugged herself tightly with both hands, unable to speak.

"What are you doing back here?" Enduring the desire to hug the frightened man into his arms, Mu Zongying hardened his heart and asked him in a cold voice.

"Is it true?" Hearing that cold tone, Ye Xiuquan's heart also turned cold.

In vain, he still deceived himself wholeheartedly, believing that as long as he came back, Zongying would comfort him as gently as before, telling him that this nightmare was not real.

"Is it true?" Turning her head away from him, Mu Zongying's body stiffened.He didn't want to see Ye Xiuquan in despair, he was afraid that his heart would soften.

"Why, why did you treat me like this?" Ye Xiuquan wanted to stand up, but his feet were as heavy as lead. If he was not careful, he fell to the ground. The ground was extremely cold, but it was still not as cold as his heart. the cold.

If Zongying told him that he didn't like him anymore, he would pack up and leave, and he would never pester him.But he never thought that Zongying would give him away at will regardless of his wishes, so what is he in Zongying's eyes?

A gift that can be given away at will, or an old garment that can be thrown away at any time?

Could it be that Zongying never fell in love with him from the beginning to the end?Then why did he still approach him and coax him with sweet words? !

"No wonder this palace, if you want to blame it, you can blame Feng Wanqiu, if he hadn't snatched away the father, my mother and concubine would not have died of depression! I want him to taste the pain I have experienced!" At this point For the sake of it, he didn't want to hide it anymore, so he simply yelled out what was in his heart.

"So, so that's how it is..." Ye Xiuquan looked at the person in front of him in a daze, and Ye Xiuquan's eyes lost their luster.

It was all because of his self-indulgence, that is, except for the night when he was drunk, Mu Zongying had never said the word "like" to him.In the end, he was just a tool for him to take revenge on his adoptive father. It's ridiculous to think about it. He really likes Mu Zongying. Even for him, as a man, he still fell under another man's body. He was so infatuated, but he was treated ruthlessly...

From this point of view, the deception started when they met back then, and thanks to Mu Zongying who endured it for so many years, he was worthy of being a future emperor with such deep scheming.

"...Are you okay?" Mu Zongying couldn't help but worry because she had never seen him like this before.

He wanted to hurt Ye Xiuquan to get revenge on Feng Wanqiu, but he didn't want Ye Xiuquan's life, if he couldn't think about it...

"Tell me, did you ever like me?" Ye Xiuquan asked the last question while supporting the cabinet beside him and trying to stand up.

This question made Mu Zongying choke for a moment.But in the end he still replied coldly: "You are the adopted son of my enemy, how could I like you."

"Hehe, I'm really blind, how could I fall in love with a wolf-hearted person like you."

"Pa——" There was a crisp slap, and Ye Xiuquan slapped Mu Zongying on the face, leaving a bright red five-fingerprint on his handsome face.

"You...you dare to hit me!" Mu Zongying covered her hot cheeks, her eyes widened.

"You owe me this slap." Ye Xiuquan stared back at him without fear, leaving Mu Zongying speechless.

It was indeed his fault, he was the one who hurt Ye Xiuquan severely, even though this could hurt Feng Wanqiu, Ye Xiuquan is innocent...

More importantly, he doesn't hate Ye Xiuquan, before he knew he was Feng Wanqiu's adoptive son, he really liked this person...

"Mu Zongying, father's debt is to be paid by the son, and the adoptive father owes you, you want to ask me for it, I admit it, if you still don't forgive me, then I will cut off the head and pay it all back to you on his behalf." After finishing speaking, Ye Xiuquan took out the short knife used to cut herbs from the medical box, grabbed his long hair, and cut it off with one blow.

Her waist-length hair broke in two, leaving only her shoulders on her head.

"...Why are you bothering?" Mu Zongying felt bitter when he saw the black hair scattered all over the ground like catkins without roots.

"From now on, we will cut off our friendship, and we will never see each other again." After speaking, Ye Xiuquan picked up the medical kit and stumbled out.

"Your Highness, do you want to chase?" the guard guarding the door asked nervously.

"No need, let him go." Mu Zongying waved his hands, the heavy heart almost made him breathless.

Before Ye Xiuquan left, those hateful eyes lingered in his mind, which made him unable to let go of it for a long time...

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the East Palace was as quiet as an empty mansion.

Because this month, the prince's temper became more and more irritable, and even a little thing could provoke him into a rage, making all the palace attendants tense up, for fear of making mistakes.

When Mu Zongying came back from the household department this day, she kicked over a chair as soon as she entered the door, making the palace people beside her tremble with fear, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.

Really mad at him!A bunch of idiots, what else will they do besides claiming that the treasury has no money?A country needs money and food to support a war, but those incompetent courtiers keep delaying it!Is it true that the soldiers in front will starve to death? !

Recently, there have been constant military deployments in the Northwest, and frequent dispatches of military supplies, food and salaries. Unexpectedly, the food and grass that should have been dispatched to the front lines a few days ago have not arrived. Today, he read the urgently sent military newspaper and learned of this, so he immediately went to the door. He was so angry that he took off the black hats of the servant of the household department and several important officials on the spot, and asked someone to drag them down and behead them for public display.

Sitting down on a chair beside him, Mu Zongying, who was still angry, yelled, "Is everyone dead? Hurry up and serve tea!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a little palace maid tremblingly brought hot tea.

But just after taking a sip, he threw the cup of tea on the ground with his hands.

"This tea is so hot, why should I drink it!"

The little maid knelt down and begged for mercy in horror, her hand was already red and swollen from the hot tea splash, but she gritted her teeth and dared not cry out the pain.

"Your Highness, please have a sip of tea to calm down." Ying'er immediately brought another teacup, and waved the little maid to leave quickly.

"How do you do things? You can't even make a cup of tea, so what are you left to do!" Mu Zongying didn't take the cup, didn't lift her eyelids, and the words she spit out were chilling.

Knowing that the master has been several times more difficult to serve in the past month than before, Ying'er immediately knelt down to plead for the little maid, "Your Highness, please calm down, Xiao Chun is new here, and she is not smart enough, I must teach you well, Your Highness, please forgive me." her this time."

Just as he was about to say something, a young eunuch announced outside the door, "His Royal Highness, the emperor has a decree, please come to the imperial study to see him."

Mu Zongying stood up immediately, "I'll dispose of you trash when I come back." After speaking, he snorted coldly and walked away.

The emperor summoned him for no other reason than for the prince's disposal of several important officials in the household department today.

Several ministers saw several important household officials who were about to be beheaded outside the Meridian Gate, and hurriedly asked the executioner to keep them under the knife. After asking the reason, they felt that the prince's move was too rash, so they went to the emperor to intercede.

Mu Zongying's anomalies in the past few days were actually noticed by the emperor, but he thought it was just the result of the urgent military situation on the border recently, so he didn't take it to heart.

But today's incident made him have to investigate the reason of his son's abnormality, so he called the eunuch in charge of the East Palace and several guards to inquire, and only then did he know the whole story about Ye Xiuquan.

As soon as Mu Zongying entered the imperial study, the emperor first scolded him for several important officials in the household department, and asked him not to be so reckless and careless about human lives in the future.

"I ask you, Ye Xiuquan, the adoptive son of Guard Feng, lived in your palace all the time before?" After taking a sip of tea, the emperor seemed to change the subject casually.

"Yes." Mu Zongying did not deny it.

"What did you do to him?" The emperor looked at him and asked again.

"...I don't understand what the father means." Somewhat guilty, he didn't answer very simply.

"Don't think that I don't know about the good deeds you have done. You not only deceived Ye Xiuquan with your sweet words, but also betrayed his intentions by giving him to others. How dare you play tricks?!" Long Yan was furious, and the emperor slapped Ye Xiuquan hard. On the table.

"A person who can affect public affairs because of private affairs is not an ideal king. A person who can play with other people's feelings is not worthy of being my son, Mu Yichen. You are too disappointing to me. If you are not my only son, I would even I can destroy you!"

"Father..." Mu Zongying looked shocked, his eyes wide open.

Ever since he was born, his father had never spoken loudly to him, let alone such harsh words, and now for Ye Xiuquan...

"Go back and face the wall and think about your mistakes. Without my will, you are not allowed to take a step out of the East Palace!"

Escorted back to the East Palace by five imperial guards, everyone was startled, not knowing what the crown prince had done to make the emperor so angry that he wanted to put him under house arrest.

"Your Highness, Guard Feng is asking to see you." Not long after Mu Yingzong sat down at the table, the guard's announcement and the sound of commotion came from outside.

"Get out of the way, if I don't teach him a good lesson today, I won't be named Feng!" As soon as the guard finished speaking, a man in white rushed in and punched him in the chest.

Although Mu Zongying has also practiced martial arts, but he has been the leader of the martial arts for three times, and the opponent of Feng Wanqiu with superb martial arts. In addition, when the incident happened suddenly, he was hit in the chest by Feng Wanqiu and fell down. on the ground.

"Quan'er is so kind to you, yet you hurt him so heartlessly, has your conscience been bitten by a dog?" Feng Wanqiu asked him loudly.

"Since the death of the concubine mother, I have lost my heart. It was you who killed the concubine mother, otherwise I would not treat him like this." He frowned because of the pain in his chest, but Mu Zongying still yelled unwillingly .

"You said I killed your concubine mother?"

"It's not you, anyone else, you dominate the father, make the mother and concubine unhappy, and finally die of heartbreak." Thinking of the mother and concubine who died young, he endured the great pain and stared angrily. The wind turns autumn.

"It's in vain that you are still the future king of a country. You are so thoughtless in doing things. Even your mother and concubine have seen through it. You use it as a reason to hurt others." Feng Wanqiu pointed at his nose and cursed.若不是看在这人是太子,是他爱人的儿子,他肯定用拳头好好痛揍这个不明是非的浑小子。

"I know best what you did." Mu Zongying said through gritted teeth.

"You are so foolish. You condemned me just because of hearsay. Do you know how much Quan'er likes you? If you hurt him like this, one day you will get retribution."

"Are you talking about yourself? You know the feeling of heartache now." Hearing Ye Xiuquan's name, Mu Zongying was shocked, and seemed to be a little shaken, but soon changed back to a ruthless look.

"Mu Zongying, who did you hear that I killed your mother and concubine?" Feng Wanqiu shouted while grabbing his skirt.

After learning everything from Chen, he immediately rushed to the East Palace to seek justice from this heartless person who hurt Quan'er.But when he heard this, he felt that something was wrong.

He had met Concubine Shu back then, and talked to her several times.At that time, he knew that she was a general-minded and open-minded woman. Since she married into the palace as a concubine, she had always kept her duty, and even had only one expectation for the emperor.

That is to protect the prosperity of her descendants of the Lu family, so that her son can inherit the great line. In the deep palace, her favorite is not the emperor, but her son Mu Zongying.

These were revealed by Concubine Shu in several conversations with him.It's a pity that after a serious illness, her physical condition became worse and worse, and she died within a few years.

Feng Wanqiu couldn't believe that such a Concubine Shu would instill in her son the idea that her death was his own fault and that she wanted Mu Zongying to avenge her.

"Why should I tell you?" Mu Zongying refused to reveal a single word.

"If you don't tell me, I'll beat you until you say it." Feng Wanqiu was furious, raised his fist high, and wanted to extract a confession by force.

"Stop, I told the prince." Mother Zhen appeared at the door in time, stopping the fist that was about to fall.

"Who are you, and why are you framing me?"

"As a man, you have no sense of shame. You competed with Concubine Shu for the emperor's favor, which caused Concubine Shu to neglect to take care of the crown prince, and finally died of depression. These things are all facts. How can you say that I framed you?" Mother Zhen With a straight face.

"You are someone close to Concubine Shu. I don't believe you don't know that Concubine Shu wanted to become a monk back then. She thought that the prince was young and needed her to take care of her, so she gave up this idea. Her death was caused by weakness after a serious illness. , Blame these things on me, it’s simply a crime of wanting to add, there’s nothing wrong with it.”

"You know that Concubine Shu only has the emperor in her heart, but you seduce him all day long and prevent him from coming to the harem. If it weren't for this, how could Concubine Shu want to convert to Buddhism?"

"Shut up, you are talking nonsense. When did I seduce the emperor? The emperor and I are in love with each other. Concubine Shu knows all about these things. She is a big-hearted woman and doesn't like to compete for favor. After the coup d'état that the empress dowager forced the palace, she even confessed to the emperor that she was tired of the intrigue in the palace, and once thought of cutting off her hair and accompanying the green lantern, but she was reluctant to part with the young prince, so she stayed." Feng Wanqiuqiang Holding back his anger, he said everything.

He really didn't understand how someone could turn the truth upside down and make a simple thing look like this.If it wasn't for the fact that the person in front of him was a woman, or an old woman, he would have slapped him long ago.

"Mommy, is what he said true?" Mu Zongying sat on the ground in embarrassment, his expression stunned.

If what Feng Wanqiu said is true, then all these years, he really hated the wrong person...

"Your Highness, don't listen to his sophistry." Nanny Zhen stared at Feng Wanqiu viciously, but still insisted on her own words.

"What am I quibbling about? If you don't believe me, I'll invite the emperor to confront him and see if what I said is true." Feng Wanqiu said angrily.He really didn't know why this old woman wanted to kill him, they obviously didn't know each other.

"No need, I'm here." As soon as the words fell, the emperor strode in, and everyone inside and outside the room fell to their knees and shouted long live.

"Mother Zhen, I heard everything you said just now. It's really nonsense. Tell me, why did you frame Pan Qiu?" He raised his hand to signal the others to get down, but Mother Zhen didn't get up.

"No slave." She still denied it flatly, unwilling to admit that she had framed others.

"He said no, if you hadn't told the prince that it was Wan Qiu who killed Concubine Shu, how could the prince hate Wan Qiu so much?"

"What this slave girl said is the truth." Nanny Zhen still refused to admit it stubbornly, but her expression was a little flustered.

"Come on, drag Madam Zhen down and punish her until she confesses." The emperor gave the order mercilessly with a livid face.

"No, father." Mu Zongying yelled when she saw this, and protected Nanny Zhen behind her.

"Go away, such an evil slave will never tell the truth if she doesn't teach her a lesson." But the emperor pulled him up and pushed him to Feng Wanqiu's side.

Several guards came in immediately and dragged Zhenmao to the door, and then screamed one after another, Mu Zongying tried to rush out again and again, but was stopped by the emperor, and the stick scolding continued until Zhenmao Beg for forgiveness before stopping.

When she was dragged in, Mother Zhen was already dying, and the clothes on her back were soaked in blood.

"Why did you frame Wan Qiu?" the emperor asked again.

"Your Majesty, do you remember Feng Liangdi?" Nanny Zhen with disheveled hair was lying on the ground, coughing unceasingly, but the expression on her face was extremely cold.

"Of course I remember, do you know Feng Liangdi?"

"She is my own younger sister, he was the one who killed her!" Nanny Zhen stared at Feng Wanqiu full of hatred.

Nanny Zhen was originally the daughter of Feng's parents, and Feng Liangdi was her only younger sister. The two sisters were not that different in age, and Nanny Zhen always loved this little sister very much.

Feng Liangdi entered the palace when the current emperor was still the crown prince. She was fifteen years old at the time, but she was not favored after entering the palace. For ordinary court ladies.

One day after it rained, she passed by the lotus pond and accidentally fell into the pond. It was Feng Wanqiu who passed by and rescued her. Since then, she has secretly fallen in love with Feng Wanqiu.

After that, she inquired around and found out that Feng Wanqiu was the emperor's personal bodyguard.

And all this fell into the eyes of Mother Zhen.

Although Nanny Zhen was already married, but because her husband died in battle, she was recommended by her younger sister to work in the palace. Qiu also met Feng Liangdi as promised, but she rejected her face to face. Feng Liangdi was ashamed and angry, so she threw herself into the lotus pond where they met.

When she heard the news of her younger sister's death, Mother Zhen was very sad, thinking that it was Feng Wanqiu who killed her younger sister, and since then she regarded Feng Wanqiu as a thorn in her side.

Later, she was chosen by Concubine Shu as the prince's nanny, and she secretly took care of her. After Concubine Shu passed away due to illness, she took this opportunity to instill in the young prince that it was Feng Wanqiu who killed Concubine Shu, Want to borrow a knife to kill someone.

"Mommy, this is not true..." Mu Zongying was in a panic as she hugged Zhenmao who was getting weaker and weaker.

"Your Highness, this servant is wrong... I shouldn't use you for revenge... This servant is leaving, you should go and get Ye Xiuquan back, this servant knows you like him..." Touching Mu Zongying's face with trembling hands, Zhen Nanny coughed several times, spit out a big mouthful of blood, and swallowed her last breath in Mu Zongying's arms.

"Your Highness, please mourn." Feng Wanqiu stepped forward and patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"Do you hate her?" Mu Zongying looked up at him with red eyes.

Not only Mammy was wrong, but he was also wrong, he believed Mammy's one-sided words, hated Feng Wanqiu for so many years, and hurt the one he loved, he was so stupid!

Shaking his head, Feng Wanqiu sighed: "No, I don't hate her. If I had been more thoughtful and my words had been more subtle, Feng Liangdi might not have died, and there would have been no such turmoil later."

"I'm sorry." After being silent for a while, Mu Zongying stood up and sincerely apologized to him, "I shouldn't have listened to Mammy's words, and blindly hated you without finding out the truth, not only wrongly blaming you, but also hurting Brother Quan .”

The hatred disappeared, and his heart suddenly became clear, and now he finally knew what the pain that was entangled in his heart was.

He likes Ye Xiuquan, no, I should say love.From the time when he first met, he has always kept the figure of that person in his heart, but hatred blinded his heart!

The most innocent person in the whole thing is Brother Quan. He trampled on Brother Quan's sincerity so cruelly. I really don't know if Brother Quan is willing to forgive him?

"I'm going to go to Brother Quan and beg him to forgive me." It was all his fault, he hurt Brother Quan with his own hands.If Brother Quan still has him in his heart and is willing to give him a chance to redeem his sins, he will treat him a hundred times, a thousand times better.

"Do you really like Quan'er?"

"It is absolutely sincere. I swear that from now on, I will never lie to him again and treat him wholeheartedly. If I break my oath, I will be struck by lightning and die."

"Okay, I'll just believe you this time." Seeing his appearance, Feng Wanqiu decided to help him, "Quan'er has returned to the Valley of Medicine, you should go find him."

"Thank you foster father, I'm going to beg brother Quan to come back."

Regardless of her distressed appearance, Mu Zongying rushed out of the palace gate without saying a word, yelling for people to prepare horses.

"Your son is a sweetheart." Looking at Mu Zongying's disappearing figure, Feng Wanqiu raised an eyebrow at his lover.

"That's not like me. After so many years, I still only have you in my heart." The emperor who gave a stern impression with sweet words showed a gentle smile, and put Feng Wanqiu into his arms and wanted to kiss.

"You'd better let God bless your son with a smooth journey." Pushing him away with a palm, Feng Wanqiu looked outside the hall and sighed, "Although Quan'er has a kind heart, he has a very hard temper. Once something is decided , ten oxen cannot be pulled back.”
