In the front hall at this time, the Su family waited for a long time for Su Jingwen to come out.
It's not appropriate to go in and look for her at this time. It would be embarrassing to wait there. After all, she has already rejected the marriage and it would be too shameless to stay there.
So I had to give up temporarily.
As for Su Jingwen...
Whatever he does.
When everyone was gone, Jiang Bo naturally resigned and left.
He was always modest and did not go out through the front door, but through the side door.
But before he could leave, he heard a voice behind him: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
The figure who was about to leave immediately stopped.
Mu Qingchao took a few steps to catch up and saw him turn back to look at her. He was speechless for a moment, but he didn't know what to say.
After a long moment of silence, she slowly spoke teasingly.
"The incident at Princess Zhenguo's Mansion was done intentionally by the prince, right?" she asked.
"Yes!" He answered simply.
"Why do you do this?" she asked him.
"Because I promised the Queen Mother that she would be buried with Princess Zhenguo's Mansion."
If so...
The suspicion in my heart was confirmed, and I seemed to have a strange feeling, happy? Warmth? No, no, worried.
He shouldn't do this. He is the magnanimous King Wu'an. When he wants to kill people, he always kills people with real swords and guns, and seals his throat at the sight of blood. How has he ever killed people with hidden arrows like this?
Mu Qingchao suddenly laughed.
"Does the prince think that the Ai family should still thank the prince?" she asked coldly.
"I have never thought of it this way, I just..."
"No matter what you think, Your Majesty, it is only a matter of the Ai family and has nothing to do with Your Majesty." Mu Qingchao interrupted him anxiously without hearing what he had to say.
Jiang Bo's eager explanation still contained half of it in his mouth.
Seeing the confusion and confusion in his eyes, Xumi heard: "I don't understand."
"What's not clear about this?" Mu Qingchao asked: "These things are all the affairs of the Ai family from beginning to end, revenge, killing, survival...
You're meddling in other people's business, do you know that?"
She said he was nosy...
That's right. When had Jiang Bo ever meddle in other people's affairs?
In the past, he ignored all the benefits and woos given by the Zhong family and Princess Zhenguo. Now he plunged headlong into the court struggle, just for her.
"Do you still remember more than a year ago? On New Year's Eve, you saw the Aijia killing people, and you wanted to capture the Aijia to see the emperor. That is the real you.
And it has only been more than a year, and what are you doing? You no longer look like the King of Wu'an before?
Where is your purity? Where is your innocent heart?" Mu Qingchao asked.
She thought that if she asked such a question, at least Jiang Bo would reflect on it and realize that he was gradually going astray.
But she didn't expect that Jiang Bo didn't even think about it and answered: "I don't have to."
He has always been a stubborn person, and even nine oxen can't get him back from something he has decided on.
"My lord, you have crossed the line." Mu Qingchao whispered.
She lowered her head, but she still seemed to be able to feel his burning eyes.
His voice was very soft, like a low sigh, but every word could be heard extremely clearly. He said: "The line that should be crossed has already been crossed."
This sentence made Mu Qingchao's heart sink, but tears seemed to well up at the same time.
Sure enough...
In fact, I already had a guess in my mind.
He was once worried about her and did not hesitate to use his position to protect her. He also did not hesitate to fight the Tubo King himself for her.
Are there any kind-hearted good people in this world? This is just blatant support.
But how can she accept such a feeling? What can she do to accept it?
How could she hold his clean and sincere heart with her hands that were dirty and full of blood?
"What about the girl in your heart?" Her voice became weaker and weaker.
Jiang Bo took a few steps closer, his eyes getting hotter.
"Now that things have happened, does the Queen Mother still not know who the girl is?" he asked.
Mu Qingchao suddenly remembered what Jiang Bo said on New Year's Eve.
"She is the only person I care about in the world. As long as she lives a good life, I will be satisfied."
How lucky are you to be favored by someone like Jiang Bo?
But how unfortunate it is that such a scene happens...
Mu Qingchao held back those tears.
She said: "Jiang Bo, you are so brave. The Ai family is the queen mother of the dynasty, do you know that?"
"So what, Queen Mother? I can..."
"No!" Mu Qingchao interrupted without even hearing what he said.
"It is a capital crime for you to miss the Queen Mother." Mu Qingchao raised his head and looked at him. The hesitation and scarlet in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by coldness and determination.
"Do you know what you just said? If Aijia tells His Majesty, you will be punished by death!"
Jiang Bo suddenly met those eyes and was stunned for a moment.
"minister……"
Just as he was about to speak, Mu Qingchao blocked him back: "Minister? Yes, you know that you are the minister and I am the king. A minister is really brave."
Mu Qingchao sneered "Haha" twice.
"The Ai family doesn't know what you mean, Your Majesty? Do you want to be that Empress Dowager Zhao's Lao Ai? Haha, it's such a pity. The Ai family already has two faces in the palace. They are enough. There is no need for you, Your Majesty."
.”
She was actually on par with those two faces.
There was sarcasm in his eyes and brows: "Your majesty, your majesty, can actually come up with these things, and if you spread the news, you won't be afraid of being laughed at by everyone in the world."
Her sneer was like a sharp arrow that could pierce people's hearts.
"You know that I have never had such an idea." Jiang Bo said.
"I just feel sorry for you, I think..."
"Who cares for the Ai family? Who needs care?" Mu Qingchao didn't give him a chance to speak at all.
"The Ai family is the empress dowager, and the mother is the queen of the world. I don't know how happy the Ai family is? Why do you need to worry about it, my lord?"
After Mu Qingchao said this, he breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.
"My lord, please go," she said.
"It's best to pretend that you have never said anything today, and Aijia has never heard of it. Let's say goodbye here and never meet again in the future."
After Mu Qingchao finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the house.
She was afraid, and if she stayed for one more second, she would relent.
"Queen Mother..."
Jiang Bo shouted behind her.
"The Aijia asked you to leave!" Mu Qingchao suddenly turned around, his face becoming more ferocious.
"Is it possible that you are willing to have the Aijia ask people to beat you away? Your majesty, your majesty, you are so shameless in stalking and beating me, and the Aijia will still want you!"
After Mu Qingchao said this, he lifted up his skirt and ran into the mansion in a few steps.
