"Yeah, if it's Yuchen, why is he holding a sword? What Yuchen doesn't like the most is killing people and bleeding." Mu Xuening looked at the scroll in her arms, and the smile appeared on her face again, "You and Yuchen
They look so similar, are you his child?! The person I saw last time was also you!" It's so similar.
Child?! Ji Lengxue's face was as stiff as a knife. He looked at Mu Xuening with cold eyes and said coldly: "I'm not!" With that, he turned to leave.
"Don't you want to know what happened to your father later?" Mu Xuening saw Ji Lengxue was leaving and shouted quickly.
As soon as these words came out, Ji Lengxue paused slightly. He turned around, looked at Mu Xuening and said coldly: "I don't want to!" With that, he wanted to leave again.
"Actually, your father has always missed you and your mother!" Mu Xuening could no longer hold back and spoke out the words buried in her heart. In the past, this was the last thing she wanted to admit, but now, it is what she has to say.
If she didn't say anything about it, I'm afraid no one would know about it in the future. And this was something she owed to their mother and son.
Ji Lengxue turned back and looked at Mu Xuening, her eyes full of ridicule, "Missing me? But who was it that ignored our mother and son and left alone? Such a person would also miss others?"
"No, it's not like that!" Mu Xuening shook her head and said, "Yuchen also has his own sufferings in his heart. The marriage between your mother and him was decided by his family. He married your mother out of helplessness, and later gave birth to a child.
Because he is the eldest son in the family, he is restricted in everything and cannot move forward. But he also has his own ambitions in his heart, and he has to leave you."
Hearing this, Ji Lengxue's eyes became even more sarcastic, "So, my mother and I are both his burdens, and, in fact, this is exactly the case."
"No, you misunderstood him. In order to realize his ambition, he had to cut off relations with his family, which is what you call abandoning his wife and children. In fact, he had thought about going back to pick you up. He wanted to
When you become successful and famous, you will take your mother and son out of the house. If your father is really a ruthless person who is greedy for fame and wealth, why has he refused to accept me after I have been obsessed with him for so many years?" At this point, Mu Xuening chuckled lightly.
With a sound, the pain of the past resurfaced in my mind, "At first, I just thought he was caring about having a wife at home, but do you know? In order to marry him, I even said that I would be a concubine. But he still rejected me. You know?
Did he say anything?"
Ji Lengxue looked at Mu Xuening and remained silent, but her originally cold expression became quite moved.
Mu Xuening looked at the scroll in her hand as she spoke, "He said that a bad wife will not go to court, and besides, there is no room for any other woman in his heart besides his wife. I just thought he was trying to prevaricate me, but when I saw him
When the room was full of portraits of a woman and a child, I almost collapsed. She was obviously just a low-brow woman, so why should she occupy his love? Later, something happened to the Dugu family, and I
Only then did I know his identity. Suyu and I hid him, but he only thought that you and your mother were dead, and in the end he foolishly went to complain and die. Over the years, I have been thinking, why did he want to
Your mother didn't want me. I was born more beautiful than your mother, and my status is more noble than your mother's. But no matter how beautiful or noble you are, it's all in vain if you can't get into that person's heart. He fell in love with your mother out of plainness.
I will never be able to compare with you in my life. From the beginning to the end, you and your mother are the people he cares about most, and I am nothing."
"Why are you telling me this?" Ji Lengxue closed her eyes slightly, with a gloomy look on her face. He whispered, "Do you think I will forgive him if you say this?"
Shaking his head slightly, Mu Xuening looked up at Ji Lengxue, "Hate can make people cruel and numb. If your heart is cold and you can't hold it back, you will end up hurting yourself. Your father wants you to be happy.
"I don't care about the past anymore, let it be the past." Ji Lengxue opened her eyes, glanced at Mu Xuening, and then her eyes fell on the dead man in black on the ground, "Although this man is dead,
I'm sure there is someone else who wants to kill you. I can take you out. As for the reason... you are an important relative of Yunyan and Mu Jingnan, and they don't want anything to happen to you." After saying that, he frowned, but
He looked away.
Seeing Ji Lengxue's awkward look, Mu Xuening smiled knowingly, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "The palace is my home, and I won't go anywhere. I'm really happy to see you today. Please go quickly.
, it's not safe for you to stay here. By the way, since you know Yan'er Jingnan, I don't need to worry about them falling off the cliff."
"They'll be fine!" Ji Lengxue frowned and stepped forward to pick up the man in black and walked toward the window. However, when he reached the window, he stopped and said, "Thank you!"
He jumped up and jumped out.
Mu Xuening looked at the empty window, smiled happily, and then looked at the scroll in her hand, "Yuchen, did you see it? Your son is here. He just saved me regardless of the past. He is just like you.
Kindness, are you lonely there? You probably won’t be. You said you wanted to make atonement to your wife. Don’t worry, I will be with you soon. Let’s make atonement to her together, okay?” Mu Xue.
Ning walked to the table, picked up the candle, and lit the painting in her hand. The handsome and gentle face of the man in the painting gradually melted into the flames.
In the dark night, a dark shadow flew across the eaves of the palace. His figure was like lightning, but his brows had never relaxed. So, is this the case? Dad has not abandoned him and his mother?! But so many years have passed.
, who knows whether what she said is true. But regardless of whether it is true or false, he no longer wants to hate them.
After walking forward for a while, Ji Lengxue suddenly stopped. He looked ahead and felt that Mu Xuening's appearance today was a bit strange. Something suddenly came to his mind, and he turned around and walked away along the original road.
However, before Ji Lengxue took a few steps, he saw the sky full of fire in front of him. Looking carefully at the burning palace, he was stunned. The place on fire was Ninghe Palace. He swayed slightly, and then quickly
Head towards the front.
In front of the gate of Ninghe Palace, the scene was extremely chaotic. Groups of palace residents held buckets in their hands to put out the fire. However, the fire was too strong. The buckets of water poured down had no effect at all.
Some palace people in the corner pointed in the direction of Ninghe Palace and whispered about something, with frightened looks on their faces.
"Did you just hear the noise coming from inside?"
"I heard it. It seemed to be the voice of the eldest princess. It seemed to be saying that the queen was harming her. The queen was afraid that she would reveal the secret or something."
"Shh, keep your voice down. If you hear me, you'll lose your head."
…
"Eldest Princess, Eldest Princess..." Hui'er knelt down in the open space in front of Ninghe Palace and shouted loudly. A moment ago, the eldest princess had asked her to prepare food for her, but she was busy in the small kitchen.
, suddenly heard shouting outside, and she noticed the smell of smoke seeping in. At first, she thought it was smoke from the kitchen. But when she went out to look, the entire main hall of Ninghe Palace was surrounded by a sea of fire.
.
"Quickly, over there, the fire over there is still very big, you go over there quickly!" A eunuch directed everyone to put out the fire, but the fire was still fierce.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "Boom...", and something fell down in Ninghe Palace. When everyone woke up, they discovered that it was a window. The windows were burned and fell down, and there was nothing inside.
human voice.
"Eldest Princess...why, why..." are so stupid! Huier bit her lip tightly. She must have deliberately pushed her away at that time, but now she has placed the burden on her again.
Not far away, Mu Qingyuan walked up quickly. He frowned and his face was full of anxiety. He grabbed a palace man and asked loudly: "What's going on? Why did Ninghe Palace catch on fire? Madam Princess
Woolen cloth?"
When the eunuch saw that it was Mu Qingyuan, his expression changed instantly, and he said immediately: "Back, back to Your Highness, I don't know why Ninghe Palace caught fire, but the eldest princess is in the palace, and now I'm afraid it's already..."
"Nonsense!" Mu Qingyuan pushed the eunuch away and strode forward.
"Your Highness, don't go there, it's dangerous." Eunuch Zhang, who was coming from behind, hurriedly ran in front of Mu Qingyuan and stopped him, "Your Highness, you are worth a thousand dollars, so just let the minions do the work of putting out the fire.
"
Mu Qingyuan frowned and looked to the side. Wherever his eyes touched, a palace maid was kneeling in the direction of Ninghe Palace, seemingly crying. Moreover, the figure looked familiar.
"Are you the maid serving the eldest princess?" Mu Qingyuan approached, looking at Hui'er on the ground and asked.
Hearing this voice, Hui'er raised her head and looked at Mu Qingyuan. She wiped her tears, saluted and said, "Your Highness, this servant is the maid serving the eldest princess."
Looking at this face, Mu Qingyuan frowned, "Have I seen you before? Are you the one during the day?"
"Please, Your Highness, make the decision for the eldest princess!" Before Mu Qingyuan could finish speaking, Huier knelt down on the ground.
The fire in front was still there. Mu Qingyuan looked at Hui'er and said, "Tell me, what is going on? Why did Ninghe Palace suddenly catch fire?"
"Back to Your Highness, someone is clearly plotting to kill the eldest princess. The slave was preparing food for the eldest princess in the small kitchen, and the eldest princess was resting in the palace because of illness. But when the slave came out, the whole place was already on fire. And not long after, the place was full of fire.
Before, many people in the palace heard the voice of the eldest princess. The eldest princess was telling us who the murderer was, ugh——" Huier bit her lip, choked and speechless, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Mu Qingyuan's eyes. He glanced at the eunuch who was directing the fire extinguishing not far away, and nodded to Eunuch Zhang.
Soon the chief eunuch came over, saluted Mu Qingyuan and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince." However, there was a bit of hesitation in his eyes when he looked at Mu Qingyuan.
Mu Qingyuan glanced at the chief eunuch, "I heard that the eldest princess said something when she was surrounded by fire. Now tell me everything that the eldest princess said before."
"The eldest princess did say something just now, but this..." The head eunuch hesitated and glanced at Mu Qingyuan again.
Mu Qingyuan frowned and shouted, "What? You can't tell me?"
The chief eunuch was startled and said quickly: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I can't remember the original words of the eldest princess, but the general meaning is that the queen wanted to burn her to death because she knew the queen's secret. She also said
Twenty-five years ago at night, the Queen killed a palace maid, and the palace maid wanted to kill her because she took away the palace maid's child..." As he spoke, he looked at Mu Qingyuan again, not daring to continue.
Go on.
