As night falls, the moon rises above the curtains, and there are thousands of stars. The lanterns in Nianxue Pavilion begin to light up, and the night breeze slowly carries a bit of coolness. Two figures sit under the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard, concentrating on playing chess.
Liancheng lowered his eyes and looked at the beautiful and pure face in front of him. The moonlight outlined her outline into perfect and moving curves. Her hanging eyelashes trembled slightly, forming a beautiful fan shape, like the beautiful wings of a butterfly.
Her plump forehead, fair face, neat nose, rosy lips and teeth, smooth and exquisite chin, every part of her was so beautiful that it made him lose his mind.
"Ting'er——" He seemed to have lost his mind. He looked at her beautiful and pure face and called her softly. This was the first time he called her by her maiden name. Thousands of waves seemed to stir up in his heart.
The unprecedented feeling made his surging heart unable to calm down for a long time.
"Well -" Mu Wanting was concentrating on how to move the next chess piece to win. Suddenly she heard Liancheng calling her, she responded instinctively, raised her eyes and looked at the beautiful and handsome face in front of her.
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, her cheeks were instantly stained with a layer of red, and became hot and hot. He actually called her by her given name?
Looking into his blue eyes as deep as the sea, her heart sped up inexplicably, as if it wanted to jump out of her throat. She never knew that her name would sound so good when called from his mouth.
.
Liancheng felt like his breathing was stagnant. Looking at her eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and her shy and rosy cheeks, his heart felt like it was being hit by waves, and his heart beat faster unconsciously.
Mu Wanting's cheeks were red, and she lowered her eyes to look at the chessboard on the table. She did not dare to raise her eyes to look directly into his deep blue eyes, and whispered: "Why is Prince Liancheng calling Ting'er?"
Liancheng held her hand, looked at her with sincere and affectionate eyes, and asked seriously: "Are you willing to be my crown princess——!!?"
"ah--!!"
Mu Wanting exclaimed, raised her suspicious eyes and looked at Liancheng in disbelief, somewhat unable to believe what her ears were hearing.
It could be seen that Liancheng Jun's face was serious, and she felt her cheeks were burning so much that she quickly lowered her eyes in panic and pulled away her hand.
Unexpectedly, Liancheng clenched his hands tightly to prevent her from taking away his hands. He came closer to her and said seriously and affectionately: "Ting'er, would you like to be my crown princess!!?"
If she thought she heard it wrong before, what about now!!?
Mu Wanting's heartbeat stopped, then started beating wildly again. Her rosy cheeks seemed to be dripping with blood. She felt that she was having difficulty breathing, as if she was about to suffocate. Her eyes flickered in confusion, and she didn't know how to answer Liancheng.
Her twinkling eyes suddenly caught sight of Qingzhu coming out of the inner hall. She quickly stood up, withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes, and stammered: "I-I'm going to see if Sister Xue is awake!!"
!”
After the words fell, she walked toward the inner hall with her head lowered in panic. Her accelerated heartbeat was about to jump out of her throat, causing her to pat her chest and take a big breath.
Seeing Mu Wanting fleeing hastily, Liancheng frowned, a trace of loss flashed in his blue eyes, and his heart ached slightly. She didn't like him and didn't want to be his crown princess?
Qingzhu saw Mu Wanting coming towards the inner hall in panic, patting her chest, her cheeks were red and her eyes were twinkling, she smiled and joked: "Miss Third, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Mu Wanting covered her hot cheeks, and when she saw Qingzhu looking at her with a smirk on her face, her cheeks turned a little redder, and she glared at her angrily and asked: "Sister Xue, have you woken up——!!
"
Qingzhu turned around and glanced in the direction of the bedroom, and said: "The queen is weak and needs a good rest. She hasn't woken up yet. How about the third lady——!"
"Qingzhu——"
Before Qingzhu finished speaking, she heard a soft call from the bedroom. She quickly ran to the bedroom, came to the soft couch, and said respectfully: "The emperor and the empress have woken up, and the servants will immediately help the empress and empress wash themselves."
—”
"Is the Third Miss here?" Mu Tianxue asked, leaning on the soft couch.
Qingzhu stepped forward and opened the red curtain, and said: "Back to your Majesty, the Third Young Lady and Prince Liancheng came to visit your Majesty. When they learned that your Majesty and the Emperor were resting, they played chess in the yard and waited -!"
Mu Tianxue was shocked, glanced at Long Chenyi who was putting on his coat, then looked at Qingzhu and said: "The third lady and Prince Liancheng are here together?"
Qingzhu picked up a pillow and put it on Mu Tianxue's back, and said with a smile: "Yes, from what I can see, Prince Liancheng seems to be interested in the third lady!!"
Mu Tianxue raised her eyebrows slightly, stood up and got off the couch and said, "Wash and change clothes for me -"
"Ting'er meets the Emperor, the Queen——"
Seeing Mu Tianxue and Long Chen also walking out of the dormitory, Mu Wanting stepped forward and knelt down to kowtow.
"No need to be polite, get up quickly!" Mu Tianxue walked up to her, saw her cheeks were flushed, and looked shy and affectionate, so he smiled and said: "Ting'er, why is your face so red? Could it be that you are sick?
, Sister Xue will ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at you right away——"
Mu Wanting looked like a shy and delicate girl, and quickly pulled Mu Tianxue and said, "Sister Xue, please say goodbye! Ting'er is fine! Sister Xue, how is your injury? Is it better?"
"Much better!" Mu Tianxue looked at Mu Wanting's smile, and then glanced at Liancheng in the courtyard. He saw that his eyes had been falling on Mu Wan, and his expression seemed a little lost, as if he was thinking about something.
.
Seeing that Mu Tianxue and Long Chen also left the dormitory peacefully, Liancheng took his eyes away from Mu Wanting, got up and walked to the dormitory, saying: "How are your injuries? Are they all better -?"
"Thank you for your concern, Prince Liancheng. It won't be a problem," Mu Tianxue said to Liancheng as he pulled Mu Wanting to sit at the table.
"It's fine if nothing happens. The murderer has been caught. Can anyone reveal the person behind the scenes?" Liancheng leaned on the table with his arms crossed, looked at Long Chen and said, "If that person is tight-lipped, you might as well leave it to me to try."
try--"
Long Chenyi's eyes narrowed, he glanced at Liancheng, and said expressionlessly: "You don't have to worry, who is the murderer behind the scenes will show up soon!"
Liancheng frowned and said, "You suspect that those assassins are killers sent by Beiteng!"
Long Chen also poured a cup of tea and took a sip, and said: "It's too early to draw a conclusion now. When the time comes, they will show up!"
At this time, Xie Yunlu entered the inner hall from outside the courtyard, came to Liancheng's side, and said: "Prince Liancheng, your guards are waiting outside, saying they have something important to report!"
Liancheng frowned, glanced at a few people, and said: "Since you are all fine, I won't be here soon!"
