Chapter 149
"Third Prince, we have reached the top of the mountain."

One of his subordinates stood respectfully in front of the sedan chair and said inwardly.

Only then did the third prince slowly get off the sedan chair, raised his legs and took two steps, came to the hillside, looked down the hill, and smiled coldly.

"In that case, let's wait for them here."

Murong Qing, Pei Mo and the others had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. The three of them put their horse in an inn at the foot of the mountain and entrusted someone to keep it.

"It's been a long time since I've climbed a mountain. This time, I just want to exercise and enjoy the scenery on the mountain."

Murong Qing was in a happy mood. He had stayed at the mansion for a long time, and hadn't experienced the wonderful scenery of nature for a long time. At this moment, he saw the lush trees on this small hillside, and he was very interested in it for a while.

"Okay, let's compete a few times to see who can climb the fastest." Yan Jingtian agreed with both hands.

"This mountain is not too low, why don't you get a sedan chair for you, so as to save some energy." Pei Mo glanced at Murong Qing's stomach intentionally or unintentionally, as if he had considered a lot.

Murong Qing said carelessly: "You underestimate me too much. This mountain is a piece of cake for me. If you don't believe us in the competition, I will definitely walk ahead of you."

After finishing speaking, Murong Qing pulled Yan Jingtian to walk a few steps quickly and rushed to the front.

The two talked and laughed, leaving Pei Mo shaking his head and sighing helplessly behind.

The scenery on the hillside is different from that in the capital city. Although there are no grand and tall buildings, the air is fresh and the grass is green. The vines on the side of the road extend to the path, blowing the clothes of pedestrians.

Yan Jingtian walked in the front to open the way. He had excellent physical strength and climbed halfway up the mountain without taking a breath.

Murong Qing stretched out his hand and gently brushed a branch of purple wildflowers that extended to the road. Seeing the beautiful color of the flowers, he casually praised, stopped, and couldn't help but leaned down and smelled it lightly.

"It smells so good." The aroma of wild flowers flowed through the nostrils all over the body, Murong Qing couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly, intoxicated by it.

Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian chatted casually along the way, while Murong Qing listened to their conversation while admiring the beautiful scenery on the road.

Before they knew it, several people had already reached the halfway up the mountain. Murong Qing felt a little tired, and was about to tell them to rest for a while, when Pei Mo had already spoken.

"There happens to be a big rock over there, let's go and rest for a while."

Pei Mo had already seen that Murong Qing's physical strength was a little weak, so he stopped Sedum, and they sat on the rock together for a while.

Looking at the lush trees at the foot of the mountain gradually shrinking, the valley is green, and a few faint mountain mist floats on the mountainside from time to time, several people feel their hearts are stirring, as if the dust in their hearts has been washed away.

While admiring the beautiful scenery, Murong Qing recalled the events of his previous life, and couldn't help feeling secretly in his heart.

"I really didn't expect that there is such a beautiful scenery on this small hillside. Why have I never discovered it before?"

In her previous life, all her thoughts were on the third prince, and everything she did was around the third prince. She even forgot that there are more wonderful things in this world, waiting for her to discover.

But even though the third prince guard sacrificed everything, the third prince still didn't like her in the end.

Murong Qing sighed softly: "It's really a passion that fed the dogs, but I won't repeat the same mistakes in this life."

Thinking of this, Murong Qing's mood gradually improved, and when he turned his head to see Pei Mozheng looking at him tenderly, he felt more stable in his heart, and couldn't help smiling at him.

"Okay, let's continue to drive up the mountain." Murong Qing rested for a while, feeling that his physical strength had almost recovered.

The three of them walked for another half an hour, and finally arrived at the top of the mountain.

Murong Qing smiled and ran two steps quickly, stretching out his arms to embrace the world: "We have finally reached the top of the mountain!"

Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian came towards Murong Qing with smiles on their faces.

A few people were joking and laughing, but suddenly heard a familiar and annoying voice sounding nearby.

"Yan Houye, General Pei, did you have a good time?"

Seeing clearly that the person in front of him was the third prince, Yan Jingtian's face instantly became very unsightly, and he muttered in his mouth: "It's really disappointing to meet him everywhere."

Murong Qing knew that meeting the third prince must be nothing good, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, he curled his lips in disgust, raised his right foot and took a step to the right, ready to make a detour.

"Hey, why is Miss Wang leaving after seeing me? Could it be that you don't welcome me?" Seeing this, the third prince hurriedly took a step to the left, standing in front of Murong Qing, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

Although Pei Mo hated the third prince very much, and because he was the person Murong Qing was going to marry before, he never had a good impression of him, and always regarded the third prince as a love rival.

But at the moment when he met the third prince on the top of the mountain, he still stepped forward to salute very politely.

"I didn't expect to meet the third prince here. What a coincidence." Pei Mo said flatly, without any dislike or liking on his face.

"Well, you're the only one who knows how to be polite." The third prince was still satisfied with Pei Mo's performance, and saw Yan Jingtian hide away with his face turned aside, deliberately picking on the thorns.

Murong Qing was even more upset with him, but because of Pei Mo's identity, he could only beat him patiently.

The third prince's eyes swept across their faces, and then circled around them, as if he was looking at something, with a probing look in his eyes.

Murong Qing was really disgusted with his behavior, so he couldn't help but asked: "I don't know why the third prince stopped us?"

"I heard that many ministers in the court are forming cliques and forming cliques for personal gain. Recently, I happened to be investigating this matter, so I walked around casually." The corner of the third prince's mouth slightly raised, and then he pretended to be a little surprised and said, "I didn't expect that I met you on the top of the mountain."

The meaning behind the words was that it was obvious that Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian were forming a party for personal gain, which made Murong Qing even more upset, and his face darkened.

"Today we just came to the mountain to pray for blessings, not as purposeful as the third prince said." Murong Qing said with a cold face, feeling very annoyed in his heart, "If the third prince doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to investigate, we can do it right. Be straight and don’t be afraid of anything.”

After saying that, Murong Qing got up angrily.

"General, Sedum, it's getting late, let's go to the temple to burn incense."

The third prince saw that Murong Qing was really angry, and he didn't dare to show it too much, so he quickly put on a smiling face.

"Damn, why is Miss Murong so angry? This prince is just idle and bored, and made a joke with the general and Lord Yan. Just say it casually, don't take it to heart."
