"No, no, no, Li Mu, you don't understand. She actually understands Pingqing better than anyone else. It's just that she doesn't want to understand. However, the emperor is not an ignorant person. A princess appeared out of thin air in the Poquan Dynasty, even if she
She has a very normal identity, but appearing so inappropriate will always attract the attention of the emperor. I am afraid that the emperor already knows her identity."
"Your Majesty..."
"I'm fine. Did the guard catch me?" Si Yanlan shook his head at Li Mu, indicating that he was fine.
"I caught it. Your Majesty, I want to..."
"Let's deal with it. Don't leave any evidence. As for his family, give him some money to appease him. Just tell the outside world that he died under his protection."
Sitting in a wheelchair, Si Yanlan looked at the lake with empty eyes and said this.
Ling'er, I'm afraid I can only help you so far now. What happens in the future depends on you. You are really unwilling to give in. You are unwilling to give in.
I really hope that in the next life I can get to know you earlier than Yao Qianzhu, so that you can stay with me longer...
The night gradually falls. The world under dusk is as beautiful as a picture scroll.
Today is the banquet held by Si Lengchen for Si Yanlan to celebrate his return. Because Si Yanlan said that he did not want to be extravagant or overly ostentatious, so he kept everything simple. Although he said so, he was a royal family after all.
, even if everything is kept simple, it will not be too simple. There are still things that should be prepared.
The preparations for the imperial dining room began early, and the palace maids, guards, and eunuchs all wondered why they didn't have more hands. They were too busy at all.
"Sister, what are you doing with the food box?"
Just when everyone was busy, a light voice interrupted the progress of a maid.
The maid stopped and looked at the stranger. After a slight hesitation, she answered her question seriously: "The slave family is delivering food to the people of Ningqing Palace."
"Ningqing Palace? Who lives in Ningqing Palace and runs a small stove?"
"Yes. Last month, a prince assassinated the queen and was captured alive. The slave family just sent him food." Perhaps the maid saw that she didn't understand this, so she explained to her.
"Hey, I won't tell you anymore. I still have a lot of things to do. After delivering this meal, I still have to do other tasks." After the maid finished speaking, she was interrupted by the woman just now when she was about to leave.
She said: "Since my sister still has a lot of things to do, and my sister has nothing to do, how about I send it to her for her?"
"You?" The maid looked at her suspiciously, obviously not believing that she would have such kind intentions. After all, you have to be more careful as a person in the palace, "Who are you and what is your name? Which palace are you in?"
"Sister, I..." The woman smiled at the maid, raised her hand, and drew a golden leaf across the maid's neck.
"You still asked too many questions." The woman glanced at the maid who was already dying, took the food that fell on the ground, opened it and looked at the dishes inside, her eyes darkened.
You are the dignified Third Prince of Haoyue, and Si Lengchen is giving you these to eat! This is too much! Do you not treat you as a human being or something! How can you eat these foods?! Bei Ling is very angry at this, if he doesn't have strong endurance
, she really wanted to take out her sword and kill Si Lengchen right now.
There were only three dishes and a bowl of rice in the bamboo basket. There was no meat and the soup was watery.
"An Ye, deal with it." Beiling said this with a cold face and walked towards Ningqing Palace.
An Ye smacked her lips, resigned to her fate and became a slave.
Royal study room.
Li Mu pushed Si Yanlan to the door of the royal study. There were no guards or eunuchs at the door.
Obviously, Si Lengchen deliberately asked them to leave.
"Since you're here, come in." Si Lengchen's voice came from inside.
Si Yanlan nodded and said to Li Mu: "You can go down too, I don't need you to serve me here."
Li Mu knew it in his heart, so he nodded and left without saying anything.
The door to the imperial study room is wide open.
Ningqing Palace.
"Who is coming?"
Beiling lowered his head and showed the token he found from the maid.
The guard took it and looked at it, then waved to Beiling: "Go in. Come out after serving the food. Don't stay in there for too long."
"Yes." Beiling responded, took back the token, lowered his head, and entered Ningqing Palace.
Ningqing Palace occupies a small space. It is located in the most remote location northwest of the Huaxia Imperial Palace. Generally, except for those guilty concubines who were demoted here, basically no one would come here, and they would not even want to pass by.
However, although this place is remote, it is quiet.
Beiling looked around at the dull flowers and plants in the yard, and her steps gradually became heavier. Every step she took made her feel more uneasy. How long had it been since she was so afraid of seeing someone?
She was finally going to meet the man who was the first to give her affection and warmth. She should be happy, but at the moment she felt very heavy. It was like a thousand pounds were tied to her feet and she couldn't lift them up.
Step by step, getting closer...
Close...
Closer...
arrive.
Beiling took a deep breath, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock—" There were three polite knocks on the door. After waiting for a while and no response, Beiling finally pushed open the heavy wooden door.
"Your Majesty?" he asked cautiously.
The room was very dark, with almost no light coming in.
"Huh? Has someone changed to deliver the food today?" Just when she thought Mu Qiyu was not here, a familiar voice with an ethereal flavor came to her ears.
"Why haven't I seen you? Mingzhu is busy today?" Perhaps because she had not spoken, he spoke. The warm voice reached her ears, making her throat hoarse and the corners of her eyes seemed to feel warm.
Like a lump in the throat.
"Yeah." She held it in for a long time before she managed to get out a single syllable. She really wanted to say something more, but she didn't know where to start. She didn't know if her brother would resent her for disappearing for three years. She,
Don't know what to do.
Mu Qiyu found it funny, why is this girl so reserved? She must be new here, doing these things for the first time.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." What Mu Qiyu said was true. He would indeed not hurt her. Now that he is a useless person who can't gather any spiritual power, anyone with a little bit of ability can do it.
You can defeat yourself easily.
When he thought of this, Mu Qiyu could only smile bitterly.
"Bring the food over here. It's too far there and I can't reach it."
As he spoke, he pointed to the iron chain on the wall.
Beiling's expression turned cold when she saw this scene. She didn't respond, but she was already walking here.
After placing the dishes on a small table specially designed to be placed on the bed, Beiling dared to raise her head and look at Mu Qiyu.
