"You believe it!" Mingzhu exclaimed, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether she was surprised or unbelievable.
Although Mingzhu told Li Chengqi about her origins, she didn't dare to expect that Li Chengqi would believe it. However, she didn't expect that Li Chengqi accepted her words unconditionally after only a moment of astonishment.
Li Chengqi looked at Mingzhu, his eyes still so gentle:
"Although what you said is incredible, as long as it is what you said, I will choose to accept it, because I will never have any doubts about you."
Mingzhu wanted to say something, but suddenly laughed:
"I suddenly found that my vocabulary has become very poor. All I can say is thank you, these three words."
Li Chengqi also laughed:
"If it's these three words, you don't need to say it anymore, because my answer will definitely be, it doesn't matter, this is what I should do."
The two of them were speechless for a moment. In the quiet summer night, only the moon passed silently through the clouds, and the subtle breeze blew by, seeming to tell people the true love that surged between heaven and earth tonight.
Li Chengqi really couldn't bear to destroy this rare warmth, but he had no choice. It was already very late, Mingzhu had to rush back to Pingkangli, and he still had too many things that he had not said yet, so he had no choice but to break it.
Calm down:
"Your mother, also in a thousand years?"
"Yes," Mingzhu nodded, "I was born and grew up a thousand years later. Then my mother had an accident, and I could only save her by getting the colorful feather coat."
"Why is this?" After Li Chengqi asked, he quickly explained, "I don't doubt what you said, but I just can't think of how people in a thousand years would know that there is a colorful feather coat hidden in our palace.
, and can also cure diseases for people a thousand years from now.”
"To be honest, I also think this is incredible, but a senior who I trust very much told me this personally, and he was the one who sent me back," Mingzhu said.
"How did he send you back?" A bright spark suddenly flashed in Li Chengqi's eyes.
"I don't know, I just know that he gave me a glass of wine, and after I drank it, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I was already here." When talking about the moment when she traveled through time, Mingzhu still had a feeling.
A sudden feeling.
"Then he must have taken you back, right?" Li Chengqi speculated, "How could he take you back? Is he still in modern times?"
"Here, he said that as long as I get the colorful feather coat, he will naturally know and he will be able to take me back." When it comes to how to return, Mingzhu is actually a little uneasy. She really doesn't know.
Can Master Zhong be able to travel through time and space so freely as he said?
"But, he can only take you back alone, right?" Li Chengqi asked in a low voice.
"Probably." Mingzhu didn't know how to answer Li Chengqi. Although she had not asked Master Zhong whether she could bring one more person back, she felt that it should not be possible.
Li Chengqi felt depressed for a moment, but then cheered up again:
"Okay, I don't want to think about this anymore. It's getting late. I'll take you back."
"Okay." Mingzhu nodded and turned to leave.
Li Chengqi suddenly stopped her again:
"Pearl."
"What's the matter?" Mingzhu turned around and asked.
Li Chengqi seemed a little embarrassed to speak. After hesitating for a while, he mustered up the courage to say:
"I want to tell you that no matter what the future holds, I will help you no matter what happens during your stay in Chang'an. I will do my best to help you get the colorful feathers."
Mingzhu nodded seriously, and just as she was about to speak, Li Chengqi suddenly interrupted her:
"If you still want to say thank you, don't say it anymore."
Mingzhu was amused by him, and the two looked at each other and laughed together.
Yan has been watching every move of the two of them. When he heard the man say that he wanted to send Mingzhu back, Yan couldn't help but feel anxious because he didn't know how to follow them. But soon Yan found out how much he was doing.
He worried about it, because he only felt that his eyes were darkened. When he opened his eyes again, the scenery in front of him changed. It was no longer the beautiful lakeside, but turned into a very exquisite and gorgeous bedroom.
This bedroom is filled with a very thought-provoking aroma. A pair of thick red candles are burning on the table. The bed is covered with a new bright red brocade quilt, and the red pillow is embroidered with mandarin ducks and flames.
Because he has been with Mingzhu for a long time, he also knows a little about Chinese customs. When he saw the scene in front of him, he instinctively thought of the Chinese bridal chamber!
"Oh my god, why did this man bring Mingzhu here? What on earth does he want to do?" Yan's heart seemed to be lit with a stick of firewood, and his hand had already subconsciously touched the gun. Unfortunately, he is now
It was in a dream, so of course I didn't touch anything.
Mingzhu came in, looked at the room, and couldn't help laughing:
"Why are the houses here tidied up like this?"
Li Chengqi followed her and walked in. Hearing what Mingzhu said, he also laughed. He smiled and explained:
"The bedrooms in Pingkangli are all like this. You can just sleep here for a while. You have been tired for a long day."
"how about you?"
"If you don't mind, I will sit here with you." Li Chengqi spoke in a low voice, as if he felt very guilty when he said this, for fear of being misunderstood by Mingzhu.
Mingzhu didn't understand what Li Chengqi meant, and was stunned for a moment. But before Mingzhu asked, Li Chengqi had already hurriedly explained:
"Mingzhu, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that this is not my palace after all, so I can't say it's safe. I don't trust others to protect you, so I just want to protect you myself for one night. Don't worry, I won't.
I don't mean to offend you at all, I just want to sit here and stay with you. However, my proposal is indeed too abrupt. I'm sorry for scaring you." Li Chengqi's words were a little confused, and he felt that he had made a mistake.
Wrong, I don’t know how to comfort Mingzhu.
Mingzhu was originally hesitant about spending the night in the same room with Li Chengqi, but now that she saw Li Chengqi's appearance, she couldn't refuse. Mingzhu thought for a while, then simply raised her head and said simply:
"I know you are all doing this for my own good. I just think it's too hard for you to stay here and watch for me. If you don't realize how hard it is and really want to stay and protect me, then you can stay.
.”
Li Chengqi looked at Mingzhu with a grateful expression:
"You really want me to stay?"
"of course it's true."
"Thank you for trusting me so much." Li Chengqi's voice was slightly hoarse, and the excitement in his heart was evident.
Mingzhu smiled and shook her head:
"You don't have to say thank you to me."
After Mingzhu finished speaking, she lay on the bed fully clothed. Li Chengqi walked over, put down the bed curtain for her with his own hands, and said softly:
"You can sleep peacefully for a while. I will always stay here. No one can hurt you as long as I am here."
After finishing speaking, Li Chengqi returned to the table, extinguished the red candle, leaving only the smallest candle. Then he sat down quietly, facing the candlelight, closing his eyes slightly, and the room fell into a state of chaos.
In extreme silence.
Yan also has a very deep understanding of Chinese Kung Fu, so he immediately saw that the man was not asleep or closing his eyes to rest, but had entered a state of high alert. Judging from his appearance, he
He should also be a martial arts master.
In this way, Mingzhu slept peacefully behind the bed tent, while Li Chengqi meditated and meditated while paying attention to everything around him, while Yan kept looking at them until the east turned faintly white. Li Chengqi suddenly opened his eyes,
He looked at the sky, stood up, relaxed his muscles and bones, and called softly through the bed curtain:
"Pearl, pearl."
There was a slight reply from the bed curtain, and it seemed that Mingzhu had been awakened by him. Li Chengqi said through the bed curtain:
"It's almost dawn. You should tidy up. It's time to go and wait for An Le."
Mingzhu seemed to wake up from her dream all of a sudden. She jumped out of the bed tent and bumped into Li Chengqi. Li Chengqi said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Anle won't get up so early. I just asked you to prepare in advance."
"Well, I understand." Mingzhu nodded.
"I couldn't bump into An Le, so I avoided it, but don't worry, I will arrange for people to protect your safety until you return to the Princess Mansion." Li Chengqi's eyes suddenly became very deep, "After returning to the Princess Mansion,
, you have to rely on yourself."
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of caution." Mingzhu replied seriously.
Li Chengqi wanted to give some more instructions, but the darkness that quickly receded outside the window waited for no one at all, and the sky was now getting brighter. Helpless, Li Chengqi had no choice but to grit his teeth and leave cruelly:
"I'm leaving first." After saying that, he walked out without waiting for Mingzhu to speak, as if he was afraid that if he said another word to Mingzhu, he would lose the courage to leave.
At this time, Mingzhu was the only one left in the room. Yan just wanted to look at Mingzhu seriously for a while, but a big hand seemed to suddenly pull him. Yan sat up in an instant. He opened his eyes and looked towards
Looking around, I realized that I was still on Qingcheng Mountain, in the guest room of Master Zhong's house. Everything I saw just now was just another dream!
But just like the last two times, everything in the dream was clearly engraved in Yan's mind:
"That man mentioned the palace many times, so he is also a prince?" Yan sighed deeply, "Okay, no matter who you are, just because of your feelings for Mingzhu, you have
I accept my right to stay by her side! However, you must keep your word and protect her!"
