Breaking the long silence, he was affectionate and focused, with a hint of sadness in his brows. Sadness? Mu Suiyi thought she had seen it wrong, and looked at Shangguan Chuque in surprise, who was staring at the falling heroes. He was actually a little sentimental. He used to be As for the carefreeness - like the wind blowing by, the air moves without leaving any trace.
"Brother Mu——" A crisp copper bell sound penetrated the eardrums.
A thin figure vaguely appeared in the darkness at the end of the corridor. Mu Suiyi followed that figure with her eyes. She walked closer step by step. Gradually, the outline became clearer and clearer - Xi Yan! It was really her.
"Brother Mu——" As if seeing a long-lost relative, she took three steps and two steps at a time, trotted all the way to him, reached out and held his arms tightly, and fell into his arms like a broken wind luan, with tears in her eyes. The white shirt on his chest was soaked, "Brother Mu - I was wrong, Yan'er shouldn't be willful, I didn't listen to your advice, Yan'er knew I was wrong, I thought I would never see you again... "She was so choked that her voice seemed intermittent. When she saw her again, Mu Suiyi felt sour in her heart. She gently lifted a strand of hair from her forehead and tucked it behind her ear, trying to see her clearly - why every time The first time I saw her, I felt that she was getting thinner. Holding her weak shoulders tightly, Mu Suiyi gasped and said, "Yan'er is right, it's my fault." He wrapped his arms around her little hands and warmed her.
"I shouldn't have made my own decision and left Shangguan Mansion. I shouldn't have acted recklessly and privately to find my sister, accidentally falling into the hands of Jinxiu Shangyi, and causing my sister to worry about me and even get hurt for me... In order to save me, my sister is now I’m still unconscious, I’m the culprit, I don’t want this, I really don’t want this… I’d rather be the one who gets hurt, I’d rather save my sister’s life…”
"You are not allowed to say such things! This is not your fault. Lian'er will be fine. She will be fine. If he didn't plan to save her, Long Chang would never go to great lengths to bring her back to Zhao Kingdom." Mu Sui Yi Zai said softly in Xiyan's ear, "Don't worry, Lian'er will be fine, because..."
"Because of what?"
"Because Long Chang also fell in love with Lian'er! No matter what he did, he would not put Lian'er in danger. He once summoned me privately and told me clearly." Mu Suiyi was definitely not lying to comfort her, Long Chang It was also true that on the third day after rushing back to Zhao Kingdom, I met with him secretly. He told him frankly - I'm sorry, I can't give her to you! It's a simple sentence, but it's actually not easy. After all, he He is the crown prince of Zhao State.
"Really?" Xiyan sniffed and asked, blinking her big eyes.
"Really." Mu Suiyi affirmed, but he rejected Long Changyi's next words with reservations - this woman from the Zhao Kingdom, as long as the owner of the building Mu is interested, even if she is a relative of the emperor, , I, Long Chang, also agreed. He laughed at that time, wouldn’t it be better to have an imperial edict granting marriage?
When the two of them got together, what role did he play standing by? - He was just a villain in their eyes, didn't everyone in the world think so? Shangguan Chuque's face was a little sad, but he was just looking at the darkness of the night. The darkness gave people the ordinary illusion that they could not see clearly. Maybe no one of the two people present would pay attention to him. Shangguan secretly put away the flute, took a breath, looked up to the sky, and sighed: he left quietly. Bar.
"Shangguan Chuque——" A slightly weeping voice stopped him from leaving secretly. Only then did Mu Suiyi notice that the beautiful flute sound in the pavilion had disappeared at some point, and the person who was playing it was I planned to avoid this gathering scene quietly.
Mu Suiyi felt her little hand secretly pull away from hers, and she turned her head. It was already late at night, and she couldn't see clearly the expression on Shangguan's face. Mu Suiyi only felt that there was something wrong with her eyes tonight, sometimes in a daze, sometimes in a daze. Stunned, with a complicated expression.
She slowly walked in front of him, her eyes were very pure, reflecting those bewitching sky-blue eyes. Suddenly, she staggered and backed away, holding her head. Mu Suiyi held her up with a vigilant hand. He stopped and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Are you injured?"
She shook her head gently and pushed him away without leaving a trace. After all, this was not the answer she wanted. Xiyan looked at Shangguan Chuque beside him absentmindedly. He still had the same joking face, "What, you came back to be punished? Didn't you come to me because of Lianqing? Why, you haven't spoken yet? What are you waiting for? I don't have time to waste here with you." He slightly tilted his head away from hers.
Xiyan indeed learned the news about her sister and the colorful snow lotus from Jingfeng, so she rushed to Shangguan Mansion day and night. On the way back, she understood that Shangguan Chuque was a virtuous person - every penny counts, and she would never give up easily. She passed her, but compared with her sister's life, what does it mean? In the evening, Xi Yan finally knocked nervously on the red lacquer door of Shangguan Mansion, and led by Haoyue, walked all the way to Lingyin Pavilion, goodbye. This scene seemed like a world away. Unexpectedly, as she gradually approached, she heard this piece of music. It was such a familiar melody that she forgot the purpose of her trip, and was deeply attracted by it, falling into deep thought...
After being at a loss for a long time, in an instant, her smile disappeared, as pure as a hibiscus emerging from water, and at the same time her whole body slumped down, "Yan'er!" Shangguan Chuque stepped forward without hesitation and gently held her waist to stop her from continuing. Falling, everything was so natural, she saw a flash of panic in his eyes, and the hand on her waist trembled a little. Xiyan slowly closed her clear eyes, she understood, she Finally got it...
"Prime Minister, have some tea——" The little girl blinked her eyes and looked at Shangguan Chuque who was busy at the desk.
"lay down."
"Master Xiang, are you tired?" she asked again.
"Not tired."
She used the excuse of slapping her back to inquire about the news. Since slapping her back didn't work, she should change the policy. "Prime Minister, why can't I see you and the beauty in the east wing enjoying themselves?" She simply held her chin and kicked her butt. Stare at him without blinking.
"Oh?" Faced with such harassment, he stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her. He finally paid attention to her, but she felt uncomfortable looking at these focused eyes.
"I'm just kidding, I'm kidding..." She smiled unnaturally.
"Why, your brother Mu didn't come to the house to accompany you today? Ever since Ning Xiyan - you came back, my Shangguan Mansion has been really busy." Why did Shangguan Chuque's words sound so sarcastic?
On normal days, she would still be a little angry, but it was very different now. She would put on a weird smile, get closer, and then get closer, and she would be just a finger away from him, and the hot and humid air could even touch his flawless face. He went up and said with an innocent face, "Master Xiang, you seem to be very unhappy in your heart."
Shangguan Chuque was surprised by her sudden approach. He leaned back unaccustomedly and cleared his voice, "What did you say?" His ears felt a little hot.
Xi Yan felt happy in her heart. These pranks did bring her some joy. He played the leading role every time. Now, is it time for her to change? "It's so boring. I, let me go out and get some fresh air..." His searching eyes He stayed close to her, and if he continued playing, he might not be able to help but leak the secret, so she might as well find a reason to get out of the way. She turned her back and secretly slapped her red face with her hands, ah - she was just teasing him. Forgot to talk about the real thing, "Well, about my sister..." She turned around and her nose hit a wall, "Oh, it hurts!" Her nose was sore and tears couldn't stop flowing down.
He frowned, but she still hadn't changed at all. She was impulsive, reckless, and simply ridiculous.
After calming down and taking a closer look, Ah - she pushed him away, how could she be in his arms? The "iron wall" that made her curse turned out to be his chest, Xi Yan's heartbeat quickened, "You, what are you doing?" Why are you hiding behind me and not making a sound? It's scary, it's scary to death..." She complained while protecting her nose that had just been "heavily injured".
"Tell me, what are you thinking about?" Shangguan Chuque's gloomy eyes looked up and down, back and forth, left and right, carefully looking at the little girl in front of him. She had the guts to provoke him, so she must be fighting something. Ghost idea.
"I, I didn't, I was just thinking..." She quietly raised her eyes and glanced at him, and found that his fascinating eyes were wandering around her body. Xi Yan quickly lowered her head, holding the hem of her skirt with her hands, like she was doing something. The kid who did something wrong said, "I just want to ask you if you can give that colorful snow lotus to my sister to save her life."
"No." He replied simply.
"Why?" How could this be the answer? Xi Yan suddenly raised her head and looked at him. Could it be that her face had changed so much that she could hardly recognize the authenticity?
"No more." Two simple and neat words again.
"No, gone? You said it's gone? How could it be gone? The colorful snow lotus is so precious, how could it be gone? Where did you put it? I'll help you look for it. Where did you forget it?" He glanced at it. Seeing her helpless behavior, Shangguan Chuque felt funny in his heart.
"Been eaten."
"By whom? Who dared to take advantage of this ambitious leopard and have trouble with me? Maybe it's not too late...I, I cut open his belly and I must get the colorful snow lotus. Where is he now? It's Shangguan Mansion. Someone there?"
——Oh my god, how could this person be so stupid? It’s a miracle that he can survive to this day! Shangguan Chuque thought to himself and nodded lightly.
"She is a woman?" How many people can resist the temptation of a beautiful woman in their arms, and it seems that he is no exception. Thinking of this, Xi Yan felt a little sour in her heart.
He smiled and nodded again.
He began to feel resentful and his voice became louder, "Do you really like the woman in the east wing that much? What's so good about her? Can she be compared to me, my sister?" She almost couldn't turn around in one breath. When Ben came, I took him up, and secretly apologized in my heart: I'm sorry, sister, I used you as a shield.
"Huh..." Shangguan Chuque's face turned gloomy and he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Ning Xiyan, I don't have time to accompany you to mess around here. You want to win the colorful snow lotus. Okay, just slowly cut it open." Check your stomach to see if the juice of the colorful snow lotus is still in your stomach." Shangguan Chuque pressed his temple with one hand, shook his head lightly, and walked out of the study quickly - it was really a headache!
"Open my stomach open? Why do you want to open my stomach?" Xi Yan pointed at herself with a confused look on her face. After a moment, "Hey - Shangguan Chuque, did you say you wanted me to eat the colorful snow lotus? Shangguan Chuque, wait for me!" She immediately chased after him.
Shangguan Chuque had a look of helplessness on his face - she was really slow. She thought she survived jumping into the lake that time. She was really lucky? Now, after walking for several miles, her face is not red and she is out of breath. Why? She really thought that her body Is it all right in a moment? The Hongxi who ran away from home after getting into trouble with Xuanyuan Yujin was just a replacement for her former appearance to cover up Long Chang's eyes and ears. However, his junior sister's appetite was not small and she only stayed for a few days. In the east wing of the government office, you have to pay for a visit to the park. You don't care about the "friendship" between the brothers and sisters at all. I didn't expect that stupid woman to be so serious. It's also a pity that he used the colorful snow lotus on the wrong person~~ I'm really sorry for it, one of the only three pills was used on this mediocre person.

(Fenglin Hall, Zhaoguo Palace)
"Shangguan Aiqing, you came just in time to take down this unfilial son for me!" Long Wuchen gasped on the hospital bed.
Shangguan Chuque looked at Long Changyi's face, and it seemed that the conversation between their father and son was not pleasant.
Long Chang also saw Shangguan Chuque walking slowly from the darkness. As soon as the two met each other, Long Chang also nodded slightly at Shangguan Chuque and stepped out of the door in a flash. He said everything he needed to say clearly - —Mother, your grievances have been resolved for you, so you can rest assured!
Shangguan Chuque narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the old man on the dragon bed. When he was provoked, his face turned red, his hands were sweating, and his white hair - all proved that he was really old! The visitor opened his thin lips lightly, " Your Majesty, oh, no, it should be the late Emperor, Shangguan, to see you off on your last journey."
"You, you, you treacherous minister, treacherous minister and traitor, treacherous minister and traitor! I hate that I didn't take Taishi Pang's advice as soon as possible and get rid of you as soon as possible. You actually want to harm me today? You..." Long Wuchen's face was extremely ugly, and he was pale. Pig liver color.
"Your Majesty, you remember wrongly. It is your own son Lao Wu who wants to harm you, not me."
"You are a traitor, you are a traitor!" The old man was heartbroken.
"As people get older, their memory deteriorates, so let me remind you by the way - there is a girl in Zhao State, her name is Ruoqin, she is a gift from the emperor, she is like a heavenly being..."
"You - He Ruoqin, who are you He Ruoqin? No, she only gave birth to a daughter, and she was chased and killed by Queen Li. She had no son, and your age is wrong. Who are you?" This is a conspiracy. , a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time, I am afraid that their purpose is not just as simple as killing themselves.
Shangguan Chuque leaned close to his ear and said quietly, "It doesn't matter who I am, but next I want to tell you something that will definitely interest you - your good son, the new emperor of Zhao Kingdom soon." ——He has fallen in love with He Ruoqin's daughter. He is also waiting to imprison your beloved Concubine Cao and Lao Liu, and seize the colorful snow lotus in their hands to save his sweetheart. This good idea was given to him by me. Your Majesty, do you think the follow-up program will be more exciting?" Those blue eyes were full of evil charm.
"Shangguan Chuque, you despicable villain! What on earth are you going to do-" Long Wuchen's eyes widened and he shouted angrily.
"What am I going to do? It's a pity that you can't see it, haha..." Shangguan Chuque suddenly left his ear, raised his head and walked out of Fenglin Palace, waved his hand, and three or four men dressed as eunuchs rushed out from beside him. Holding the old emperor firmly, a glass of poisonous wine went into his throat. Long Wuchen's eyes widened and his pupils gradually dilated. His life was over, but his eyes never closed - Chang Yi A Chang Also, your father and I are just doing nothing, but you have a wolf, tiger and leopard by my side! How can I trust you to entrust the dynasty to you?
"The lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red..." Overlooking the sparkling blue lake, the stars are dotted with several lotus flowers that emerged from the mud but are not stained, which makes Xiyan feel a sense of sadness in her heart - my sister is here Within the high walls of the city tower, she couldn't go in, and her sister couldn't get out either. How could she save her sister? Is there really a way for Long Chang to save her sister, as Shangguan Chuque said? It's really worrying.
Throwing a stone into the lake caused circles of ripples to spread out into the distance. Xiyan frowned and looked down at the nearby lake. "Hey? Why are you here?" Xiyan could clearly see the surface of the lake. It reflects the faces of two people, one is hers and the other is his.
"My eyes must be dazzled..." She said to herself, shaking her little head vigorously, as if she wanted to delete the image in her mind, and secretly opened one eye again - why hasn't he left on the lake? Not only Instead of leaving, she got closer. Her face turned red. What was wrong with her?
"What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?" A slightly magnetic male voice reached her eardrums. She turned around, her almond-shaped eyes widening incredulously, and she blinked at least seven or eight times before she regained consciousness. It was difficult. He moved his body and said, not to be outdone, "Why are you here?"
"Do I need to report to you my departure and stay?" Shangguan Chuque tugged at the corner of his mouth and said disdainfully.
"Then why do you interfere with my going and staying?" She learned quickly.
"Okay, don't interfere." There was a hint of amusement in Shangguan Chuque's eyes, and he turned around as if he was about to leave, "I thought Yan'er wanted to know about Lian Qing's safety, but it seems it's not as good as I thought."
"Sister? Hey--, Prime Minister, Prime Minister, please don't go-" As soon as she heard about her sister, she immediately changed her attitude. She salivated and shamelessly grabbed Shangguan Chuque's purple robe and was dragged to Lingyin Pavilion. forward.
"Brother Shangguan, Brother Shangguan..." A man came from a distance under the bridge and called Shangguan Chuque's name affectionately.
Xiyan looked at Shangguan Chuque in confusion, but he grabbed her clothes and hid them behind her. When she sat down in the pavilion, she was about to ask a question, but the person came forward. When he came to him, she remained silent. He leaned down behind the stone bench.
"Brother Shangguan, you're fine." The elegant man in white greeted with a slight twirl of wine.
"Do you still have the guts to set foot in my Shangguan mansion again?" Shangguan Chuque said slightly angrily." There was a trace of amusement in Shangguan Chuque's eyes, and he turned around as if he was about to leave, "I thought Yan'er wanted to know about Lian Qing's safety. Look, It’s not as good as I imagined.”
"Sister? Hey--, Prime Minister, Prime Minister, please don't go-" As soon as she heard about her sister, she immediately changed her attitude. She salivated and shamelessly grabbed Shangguan Chuque's purple robe and was dragged to Lingyin Pavilion. forward.
"Brother Shangguan, Brother Shangguan..." A man came from a distance under the bridge and called Shangguan Chuque's name affectionately.
