"I just miss home, and I also miss my mother." Mu Ci said, his eyes slightly hot.
"Then how about I accompany my sister to visit her mother?" Zhou Zhen snuggled deeper into Mu Ci's arms.
Mu Ci looked intently at the dead branch sticking out of the window: "Sister, if you can't even leave the Zhou Mansion, how can you go to the capital?"
"Isn't Master Biao very kind to my sister? My sister went to tell Master Biao that Master Biao will definitely send my sister to the capital." Zhou Zhen got out of Mu Ci's arms.
Mu Ci lightly scratched Zhou Zhen's nose and shook his head silently.
Even if Xiao Ziyan is Dugu Lianyun, he is no longer the Lianyun brother who responds to her every request. She is under house arrest in the Zhou Mansion. How easy is it to leave the Zhou Mansion?
"Sister, don't be discouraged. If you have any ideas, tell Young Master Biao. Young Master Biao is really good to Sister." Zhou Zhen said again, fearing that Mu Ci would be discouraged.
After that, Zhou Zhen said a lot of good things to Xiao Ziyan, and Mu Ci finally made a decision.
In the evening, when Xiao Ziyan returned to Guige, he heard that Mu Ci had come and said he wanted to see him for something.
He changed into a pair of dark clothes with a crescent white skirt and went to Hengwu Garden.
From a distance, you can see Mu Ci leaning on a bamboo chair and reading a book. The sun is setting, and the golden afterglow shines through the leaves, making her eyebrows as gentle as water.
Her long hair was just casually pulled up into a bun, with a strand of hair hanging restlessly on her cheeks. Her black hair and fair skin gave her a strong visual impact that gave her a shocking sense of beauty.
But she didn't realize how beautiful she was...
Mu Ci felt a strange look in her eyes, and she raised her head to look at the man in white standing not far ahead.
It seemed that there had been a similar scene. Dugu Lianyun was standing under the plum blossom tree. It was snowing at that time, and the snowflakes and plum blossoms were falling down, circling and dancing above his head.
The space is different, and the people seem to be different, even if they have the same face.
She put down the book, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "You seem to be very busy."
"What do you want from me?" Xiao Ziyan slowly walked closer and sat down on another bamboo chair.
Mu Ci poured him a cup of tea: "I just want to ask you something. I hope you can help me clarify my doubts."
"Say." Xiao Ziyan lowered his head and took a sip.
The taste of the tea is average, it should be made by Mu Ci.
"Does Dugu Liancheng know that I left the cold palace?" Mu Ci said calmly.
Xiao Ziyan paused in his drinking of tea, just for a moment. He continued to drink tea with his head down.
Mu Ci was not in a hurry and watched him drink tea intently.
"Why are you asking about this all of a sudden, but you still have nostalgia for Chenxiang Palace?" Xiao Ziyan said, turning to look at her.
Mu Ci poured himself another cup of tea: "Look, I asked you a question, and instead of answering, you asked me two questions. How about this, you ask a question, and then it's my turn to ask you a question.
Neither I nor you will suffer."
Xiao Ziyan looked at Mu Ci thoughtfully, and finally found Mu Ci's method interesting.
"I released another Mu Ci in Chenxiang Palace. I have been planning this for more than a year, and it will naturally be done properly. Unless one day, he enters Chenxiang Palace and sees you with his own eyes, and then he knows that that person is no longer you." Xiao Ziyan
Shake the teacup gently.
The amber tea water rippled and soon returned to calm.
"As early as the moment he sent me to Chenxiang Palace that day, he had no intention of seeing me again." Mu Ci understood.
Therefore, no one knows that she is not in Chenxiang Palace, including Dugu Liancheng.
For Dugu Liancheng, love between children is a luxury.
He once had a good impression of her, but that good impression was crushed by her own hands.
Nowadays, Dugu Liancheng is an emperor who only serves his duties, and it is impossible for him to put such a troublesome and troublesome woman back into the harem.
"If Dugu Liancheng comes and wants to take you away, will you go with him?" This time it was Xiao Ziyan's turn to ask the question.
"No, he won't come to take me away either." After Mu Ci answered, he asked another question: "I want to go back to the capital to see my mother. Can you let me go to the capital?"
"I can, but I don't want to."
Xiao Ziyan's answer made Mu Ci frown slightly.
"Do you still have old feelings for Dugu Liancheng?" Xiao Ziyan asked again.
Mu Ci took a deep look at Xiao Ziyan and replied quietly: "No."
If she had an old relationship, she wouldn't have done such a dirty trick to Dugu Liancheng.
"Are you brother Lianyun?" Mu Ci looked directly at Xiao Ziyan.
This was the second time she asked this question. In fact, she already had the answer in her heart, but he still wanted to hear it in person.
Xiao Ziyan did not answer directly this time, but remained silent for a long time.
"I understand." Mu Ci sighed softly.
She felt that he was acquiescing.
Because he knew who he was, there was no way he could hide it from her, and he didn't want to keep lying in front of her.
Why is she not happy at all when she has the answer?
"Are you willing to marry me?" Just as she was in a daze, Xiao Ziyan suddenly asked.
After Mu Ci finished drinking a cup of tea, he slowly replied: "I don't want to."
From the moment he left, she and he were already in two different worlds, and she really thought he was dead.
"Why?" Xiao Ziyan didn't realize that he had broken the rules of the game.
Each of them asked one question, and he asked two questions in succession.
Mu Ci did not reveal this, but sighed softly: "Brother Lianyun is dead in my heart. He died in Dingshan Temple, leaning on my shoulder and died. You look like him, but you are not him, he doesn't
Even if he puts me under house arrest, he won’t lie to me.”
Xiao Ziyan watched Mu Ci disappear behind the door curtain, and his heart felt cold, like the biting coldness when the first snow melts.
He thought he was taking her out of the palace and that she longed for freedom, but in fact he was not her and did not understand her real thoughts. What he gave her was not what she wanted.
What's the point of him trapping her in this former palace?
When he returned to Guige, he smelled the aroma of food. He smelled the aroma and went away, only to see a girl in scarlet clothes busy in the kitchen.
Perhaps when she heard his footsteps, she looked back and smiled: "It will be ready to eat soon. I made your favorite Bailu Chicken."
Xiao Ziyan looked at her beautiful smile, but what he thought of was Mu Ci's warm and sad smile. He frowned and said, "No appetite."
The girl noticed that he was not in a high mood, so she quickly prepared a few dishes, brought them to Xiao Ziyan and said, "Master Xiao, has someone made you unhappy?"
Xiao Ziyan saw her getting closer and closer and avoided her passionate eyes: "Xiaosi, you are an innocent girl. You should not get too close to men. This will damage your reputation."
"Look, it's here again. How many times have I said that this is my wish." The girl named Xiaosi didn't care at all.
She handed the hot Bailu Chicken to Xiao Ziyan: "Didn't you say you love the Bailu Chicken I made the most? This is my specialty, and most people can't make it so delicious."
