Xia Houlie was stunned by her cold eyes. He stretched out his hand, grabbed the person in front of him, took her into his arms again, and looked directly into her eyes: "What on earth is going on today?"

Mu Qingwan struggled hard, but when she saw that she couldn't break free, she could only look up at him bitterly and smile sarcastically: "Would you believe what I said?"

How has he ever believed in her since she entered the palace? In his eyes, she will always be just an insidious woman who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.

Even if she explained, he would probably think she was quibbling and wouldn't believe her at all, so why humiliate herself.

Xia Houlie was stung by her tone, a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes, he clenched and unclenched his fingers, and finally softened his tone:

"Okay, tell me, why did you suddenly push her? Did she say something to you?"

Mu Qingwan smiled coldly, "I pushed her? That woman was so good at acting that she deliberately approached me and insulted me and my mother. I only slapped her once, but she actually sat on the ground and pretended to be weak. That's right, as long as

When she pretends to be weak, you will definitely think that it is my fault. This is not the first time you have wronged me like this."

At the end of the story, the tears that she tried so hard to hold back came out, but they were wiped away by her. Why are you crying? No one here will feel sorry for her!

Xia Houlie stretched out his hand to caress her slightly wet face, and sighed softly, "Okay, do you feel better after venting? I know you have been wronged. Yun Luo..."

He paused and said in a bleak tone, "I have already punished her. Don't be tough with her in the future. Otherwise, you will anger Yun Lanshan and attack in advance. Even I may not be able to protect you."

"In the final analysis, you are still afraid that I will alert the enemy and disturb your plan to seize power." Mu Qingwan sneered and waved away his hand tiredly:

"Okay, I understand, I will be careful in the future. Although I did not expect the course of this accident, the outcome is still the same as the plan I thought of. You can issue the order tomorrow, so that I can treat grandma with peace of mind.

sick."

Seeing her bleak tone, Xia Houlie's heart ached inexplicably. He reached out to hold her hand, but when he saw her reflexively avoiding his touch, his eyes flashed and he asked softly, holding back his breath, "Are you hungry?"

Do you want something to eat?”

She shook her head tiredly, as if all the strength in her body had been drained, she pulled the quilt over and lay down, turning her face away.

Xia Houlie had never coaxed a woman before. Seeing her like this, he didn't know how to comfort her. He got up with some irritability and walked out.

Mu Qingwan heard his footsteps gradually go away, and her tense body relaxed, but she just felt tired, her body was tired, and her heart was even more tired.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, a faint scent of ambergris floated in the air again, getting closer and closer, and her heart became inexplicably irritable again.

Why is this man so haunted?

Angrily, she lifted up the quilt and covered her head, intending to ignore him, but he was not angry either. He just pinched the furry snow-like hair in his hand. His snow-like eyes looked at Mu Qingwan, who was wrapped in a ball on the bed, and then looked at her.

Looking at Xia Houlie who looked expectant, he whined twice.

As soon as Mu Qingwan heard this voice, she immediately opened the quilt and poked her head out. At this moment, Xia Houlie held up Ruxue with both hands. His movements were stiff and ridiculous. Because of this uncomfortable position, Ruxue kicked his legs wildly, desperately trying to free himself.

Open his hand.

When Mu Qingwan saw this scene, the depression in her chest suddenly disappeared. She wanted to laugh inexplicably, and reached out to take Ruxue and hold her in her arms.

As soon as Ruxue came into her arms, her bright eyes immediately started to shine, she stuck out her tongue to lick her hand, and kept rubbing her body in her arms.

Mu Qingwan was amused by it and giggled. Xia Houlie who was watching on the side was very depressed. Just now he applied medicine to her and lowered his body to coax her, but he didn't see her giving a good look. Now when he saw this little

Guys, you laugh so easily. Isn’t this differential treatment too obvious?

But seeing that her mood finally improved, he didn't care anymore.

Mu Qingwan was in a good mood and played with Ruxue for a while, then suddenly remembered something:

"Aren't you allergic to animal hair? Why did you hug me just now..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Houlie sneezed loudly, then reached out and started scratching his body, with a strange look on his face.

Mu Qingwan looked at him so angry and funny. He obviously couldn't hold a dog, but he insisted on holding Ruxue in to show her. Is this man stupid?

But halfway through laughing, his smile suddenly froze. He did this...

As soon as the idea crossed her mind, she was immediately rejected.

How could he care about her? Maybe this is just another method of his.

If a man is gentle and doting on a woman, there are only two possibilities: one is that he loves her deeply, the other is that he does not love her and just uses gentleness as a weapon to make the woman willingly hand over his heart.

Then surrender to him, be controlled by him, and be used by him.

And Xia Houlie can only be the second type.

Her smile gradually faded, and she looked at him and said quietly: "Stop scratching. I have medicine in the cabinet over there. You can take it back to the palace, take a bath, and rub it on. The itching will be gone soon."

Xiahou glanced at her fiercely and shouted outside. Biying came in immediately, "Go and boil a bucket of hot water. I want to take a bath here."

Biying glanced at Mu Qingwan on the bed, nodded and left.

Xia Houlie quickly finished his bath and walked to the bedside to see Mu Qingwan still holding Ruxue. He frowned and said, "It's already very late. Put the dog down and play again tomorrow."

Mu Qingwan glanced at him and asked reluctantly: "Are you going to sleep here again tonight?"

Xia Houlie snorted coldly, as if you knew what he was asking, which made Mu Qingwan feel angry. He obviously had so many concubines, why did he come to her Changxin Palace every day?

He said angrily:

"Shouldn't you go to Concubine Chu? If you neglect her like this, how will you strengthen the power of the Zhou family? Should our plan continue?"

Xia Houlie felt sullen for a while, his face darkened, and his tone became worse: "Mu Qingwan, what is your attitude? Do you still have to decide my whereabouts?"

"I just don't want to be unable to leave the palace when I'm old!"

Xia Houlie's eyes were filled with gloom: "Are you so eager to leave here?"

Mu Qingwan gently stroked Ruxue's furry back, looked into its bright eyes and whispered:

"There are always people here who want to kill me at any time. Things like today will probably happen again and again in the future. For the sake of my life, I think it's better to leave as soon as possible."

"Didn't I say I would protect you? What's more, I will never allow something like this to happen again."

Mu Qingwan sneered and looked up into his eyes:

"You promise? What guarantee do you give? Even if you can't confront Yun Lanshan head-on now, even if you are given the power again, you may not be on my side. In your heart, I am just a

You scheming femme fatale, as long as someone provokes you, you will never choose to believe me, will you?"

"You..." Xia Houlie wanted to refute, but the fact was that he did not trust her.

Mu Qingwan looked at his rare deflated look, but there was no joy in her heart, only endless bitterness.

In this strange place surrounded by tigers and wolves, who else can she rely on besides herself?

Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on her lips, she called Mo Ge in, handed the dog to her, and lay down on the bed.

Xia Houlie looked at her with a cold and angry face as she closed her eyes, "You're just going to sleep like this?"

Mu Qingwan opened her eyes and looked at him: "What else?"

Xia Houlie pursed his lips and looked at her without saying a word, but his eyes could almost freeze her to death.

In the end, Mu Qingwan couldn't stand the cold air pressure on his body, so she had to sit up and said, "What do you want? I'm covered in injuries right now, and I don't have the energy to make trouble with you."

He snorted coldly, "Who wants to make trouble with you? Get up and wash your hands and change your clothes."

Mu Qingwan was extremely angry and yelled: "Xia Houlie, you have so many beauties in your harem. You can go to any palace at will. Can you not bother me here?"

Xia Houlie took her words as nothing, raised his voice and called Biying and Mo Ge to come in. He pointed to the bed and motioned for them to change the bedding.
