The two were entangled endlessly when the door suddenly opened from the outside, and a flash of purple slowly came from the outside.

When the woman in red saw the man in purple coming in, she immediately let go of Mu Qingwan, stood aside, and said respectfully: "Master."

Looking along her direction, Mu Qingwan immediately stopped struggling, and her beautiful eyes stared blankly at the man in front of her.

The man in purple waved his hand lightly: "Feiyi, you can go down."

Fei Yi once again took a deep look at Mu Qingwan, the hatred in her eyes flashed away, and then opened the door and left.

This man was dressed in purple clothes, different from the white ones in the past, and looked more handsome and noble. His face still had the gentle smile she was familiar with, and his gleaming blue eyes were full of love.

For a long time, Mu Qingwan couldn't come back to her senses. She stared blankly at him smiling softly, walking to her step by step, stopping in front of her, and calling softly: "Qing'er."

Mu Qingwan couldn't believe her eyes. Two years later, he finally appeared in front of her again, which made her feel as if she was in another world. She had imagined the scene of the two seeing each other again countless times:

In the Xichu Palace, she imagined that he came to propose marriage to his father, the emperor, and his mother; on the way to Beiyan, she imagined that he would come like a god and kidnap her from the sedan; even in the Beiyan Palace, every time he was

When Xia Houlie was cornered, she had hoped that he would fall from the sky and take her out of that cage.

But none of those scenes happened. Now that she had gradually come to understand the facts and became desperate, he suddenly appeared without warning.

She stood in a daze, staring at the familiar eyebrows in front of her for a moment, as if he would disappear in the next second, and she could only take advantage of this short time to carve him into her bones and blood.

Her eyes were getting hotter and hotter, and her throat seemed to be clogged with sand, which was itchy and uncomfortable. His tall figure gradually blurred in her eyes. She wiped it away hard and still looked at him, as cautiously as if she was afraid that she would be a little away.

, he will disappear again and never be seen again.

A warm big hand touched her face, gently wiping her tears. Looking at the tears that were falling more and more heavily, he smiled helplessly and reached out to scratch her little nose:

"Little fool, why are you crying again? Aren't you happy to see Brother Hengzhi?"

Familiar movements, familiar expressions, familiar voices, everything was so familiar and so real. She was not dreaming, it was all real.

He is really back, back to her.

Mu Qingwan tremblingly stretched out her hand to grab his big hand that was caressing her face, held it tightly, and murmured:

"Brother Hengzhi, you are finally here. I thought... I thought I would never see you again in this life..."

Helian Hengzhi stretched out his hands to hold her face and put his forehead against hers. The two of them breathed each other. Mu Qingwan smelled the familiar scent of agarwood and wrapped her tightly, which made her feel extremely at ease.

.

His gentle and low voice rang in his ears: "Fool, brother Hengzhi said he would always be by your side, so how could he be willing to leave?"

Seeing the fleeting sadness in her eyes, he sighed quietly and kissed her forehead:

"I know it was Brother Hengzhi who made you suffer. When I returned to Dongmo, I mentioned our marriage to my father. When my father heard that I insisted on marrying you, he imprisoned me in the palace.

, heavy troops were sent to guard me, and I was almost isolated from the rest of the world. Even the news that you went to Beiyan to get married was only known later..."

She remembered what Helian Mo Xiao said about Hengzhi even risking his own life to fight against King Dongmo. She felt sad and wanted to say something, but all her words came out choked up, thinking about her own experience and Hengzhi's. It turns out that he didn't come to save her, but he couldn't help it. Is this really a trick of fate? They are destined not to be together?

She stretched out her hands, put her arms around his neck, buried her face in his neck, and held him tightly, absorbing the warmth and giving him warmth.

The two hugged each other quietly, and Mu Qingwan's tears kept flowing down. She didn't know whether it was because she was happy or sad. She only knew that she couldn't stop her tears, and she seemed to want to shed them.

Helian Hengzhi gently let go of her, leaned over and kissed her tear-stained beautiful eyes. Her eyelashes, as thin as cicada wings, could not help but tremble. Her heart felt like it was soaked in sour water, sour and soft, but she felt uncomfortable. Mixed with a hint of sweetness.

She closed her eyes and felt his kisses on her forehead, eyes, neck, cheeks, and earlobes. The delicate kisses fell on every place. The kind of cherishing that was like holding it in the palm of her hand, for fear of accidentally breaking it, made her My heart is as sweet as if it were dipped in honey.

The open window brought a cool breeze, but she could not feel a trace of coldness. She only felt that her whole body was warm, as if she had returned to the time when the two of them were together at Piaomiao Peak when they were young.

A cluster of flames rose in Helian Hengzhi's blue eyes, and his thin lips gradually began to slide along the graceful curve of her chin towards her magnificent lips...

Mu Qingwan noticed his movements, and for some reason, the image of Xia Houlie kissing her forcefully and domineeringly flashed through her mind. Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously turned her face away. His kiss finally fell on her right cheek. superior.

A flash of anger flashed through his blue eyes, but it passed quickly. When Mu Qingwan raised her head to look at him, all that was left was the hurt that seemed to have been abandoned.

"Why?" His voice was very soft, but she knew that he was angry.

Seeing his increasingly cold expression, she knew she could no longer remain silent and hurriedly explained:

"You've never kissed my lips before... so... so you suddenly... I'm... not used to it..."

In the end, even she felt that such a reason was weak. Didn't she love him? Why would she resist when he kissed her? It was so hard to kiss the man of her dreams, so why did she think of that devil Xia Houlie? ?

Although Hengzhi had never lost his temper in front of her since he was a child, she knew that he also had a temper, and the more such a gentle and gentle person got angry, the more earth-shattering it was for him.

She still remembers that time when they were trapped in a cave by heavy rain and later attacked by a pack of wolves. She saw with her own eyes that he was covered in violence and killed dozens of wolves with his bare hands. If she hadn't witnessed the bloody scene with her own eyes, she would She couldn't believe that it was really her brother Hengzhi who was so gentle and kind that even an ant would not bear to step on it to death.

Now being rejected so blatantly by her...

She lowered her head, not daring to look at his face.

Helian Hengzhi sighed, led her to sit down at the table, smiled bitterly and rubbed her soft hair:

"Okay, don't cry sadly. I don't blame you. Don't worry, since you don't like it, Brother Hengzhi won't force you. I will wait until the day you are willing."

Seeing him like this, Mu Qingwan felt even more uncomfortable. How could she forget that no matter how angry she was, her brother Hengzhi would not be willing to hurt her at all?

After a moment of silence, in order for the two of them not to dwell on this topic, she had to divert her attention and said: "Why did brother Hengzhi show up in Beiyan?"

Helian Hengzhi smiled and helped her smooth out her hair that was blown by the wind, and said gently, "I came to Beiyan to find you, but I didn't want to meet you here. In order to cover up others' eyes and ears, I was in a hurry, so I had to let you

I feel a little wronged."

"That Mr. Lian..."

"He is my confidant." He stretched out his hand to caress her tender cheek, with a gentle smile on his lips that she was all too familiar with.

Mu Qingwan thought of Xia Houlie's words and felt a stab in her heart. She looked at him with a distressed face, felt melancholy, and finally asked tactfully:

"Then...then why would your father be willing to let you come to Beiyan?"

A flash of pain quickly flashed across Helian Hengzhi's face, and he suddenly pulled her into his arms and held her tightly, as if he wanted to draw strength from her body so that his heart would not feel so painful.

After a while, Mu Qingwan heard his slightly hoarse voice:

"Father...Father is dead..."

She shuddered and remembered the phrase "kill brother and kill father". Could it be...

Before she could ask, Helian Hengzhi continued:

"A month ago, my father was critically ill. Before his death, in front of my mother, concubines and palace officials, he made a decree that I would succeed to the throne. However, everyone in Dongmo knows that among the princes, the eldest brother and

The second emperor brother was the most powerful, and at that time the eldest emperor brother was already on his way to Beiyan, and I was under house arrest in the palace. No one could compete with the second emperor brother, so he took the opportunity to launch a political coup, and my mother and concubine

Afraid that the Second Emperor Brother would be unfavorable to me, they offered to exchange my father's will for my freedom, but were flatly rejected by the Second Emperor Brother. In order to silence them, they killed all the palace servants serving my father and even forced them to

My mother-in-law was buried for my father..."

Mu Qingwan gasped, her palms began to sweat, and she couldn't help but squeeze Helian Hengzhi's slightly trembling hand, "What happened next?"

"While my mother-in-law was dealing with them, she secretly sent her cronies out of the palace to find me, and gave me a military talisman. With it, I could mobilize all the troops in Dongmo. It was my father who gave it to me and my mother just in case.

When I learned the news and rushed to the palace with my troops, what I saw was the bloody scene of the concubine bleeding to death from her seven orifices. When I came closer, the concubine’s mouth had begun to bleed. She

She shouted at me and told me to leave. I stepped forward and hugged her. She waved her hand and slapped me in the face. The blood from her mouth spurted onto my face. She still pushed me until she died..."

There was no ups and downs in his voice, and he was even still smiling, but he was recounting such a cruel past...

"Stop talking... don't talk anymore..."

The once bright young man also learned to be patient and disguised after going through disasters. Seeing him still smiling despite being heartbroken, Mu Qingwan felt as if his heart had been cut open by a sharp knife, and she was so painful that she couldn't breathe.

She hugged him back tightly and choked with sobs:

"Brother Hengzhi, you don't have to hide yourself in front of me. If you want to cry, just cry."

Witnessing the tragic death of your mother with your own eyes, what kind of grief should you feel?

The blue eyes finally filled with water, "If it hadn't been to confuse the Second Emperor and the others and buy me time to mobilize troops, my mother-in-law would not have died..."

Mu Qingwan raised her teary eyes and looked at his thin face. It turned out that when she was struggling painfully in Beiyan Palace, he was also on the verge of life and death. Such a bloody palace coup, the dangers and treacherousness, the flash of swords, how could it be so simple?

What can be summed up in a few words? It's funny that she is still complaining in her heart about why he didn't come to save her.

"... If I could use her life to save yours, your mother-in-law would definitely be happy in her heart. This is great maternal love. She doesn't want you to see her appearance before she died, and she doesn't want you to have such a deep feeling in your heart because of this."

You will be burdened by hatred for the rest of your life." Mu Qingwan looked at him, holding his face, her face full of heartache, "She just doesn't want you to be unhappy because of this."

"I know." Helian Hengzhi stretched out his hands to wrap her hands on his face, smiling like a child: "As long as you are by my side, I will not be unhappy."

His eyes were as gentle as water, and only her shadow remained in them.

And she couldn't speak anymore, her heart hurt like being pricked by a needle. She wanted to be by his side forever, even in her dreams, but even if she thought about it again, she knew that nothing could go back.

.

Even though she wanted to leave the Beiyan Palace immediately and leave that devil Xia Houlie, she knew clearly that she couldn't. In a few days it would be the night of the full moon. If she didn't go back, grandma would be in great danger. What's more,

Xia Houlie will never let her go, he still holds the fate of the entire Xichu in his hands.

She can't be so selfish and willful.

In the past, she always hoped that Hengzhi would come to save her, but when he actually came, she realized that everything was not that simple anymore.

It's not just a word of love that can make two people stay together forever.

Sometimes, love is not something you can afford if you want it. Now, she carries too much baggage and can no longer love without restraint.

Perhaps this was a trick of fate. He was still waiting stupidly for her to approach, but she had already passed him and walked far away.
