slave like jade

Chapter 115
Looking at the scene inside the house, Xiaodao couldn't control the long sword in his hand several times, and wanted to rush in and kill the man who indulged his sister--his own brother, but every time, the veins on his forehead were about to snap, and his teeth were biting. With a mouthful of blood, he finally gritted his teeth to hold it back, and the hostility in his body turned into despair and unwillingness. After a long time, he turned and left in despair...

As the sun sets, the full moon also climbs up the treetops.

When the water splash returned to calm, Yu Ruyan fell asleep with her arms around Mu Lingzhi's neck. Mu Lingzhi carefully carried her out of the bathtub and put her on the bed, took a cotton towel to help her dry the water stains, Tucked.

After finishing everything, the copper coin reported outside: "Your Highness, I have something to report for my humble position!"

Afraid of waking up the sleeping Yu Ruyan, Mu Lingzhi said, "Wait a minute, I'll go out and talk!"

After lovingly kissing her several times on the face, Mu Lingzhi put on his clothes and walked out of the tent.

Seeing him in such a good mood, the trembling heart of the copper coin couldn't help but relax a bit, but he still knelt down on the ground and said in great fear: "Your Highness, this subordinate is incompetent, just go... to the latrine and turn around, Your Highness Eighth It disappeared... according to the officers and soldiers guarding the camp, His Highness is gone..."

Mu Lingzhi was stunned, and asked worriedly, "Do you know where he went?"

Tong Qian lowered his head and didn't dare to look at his anger, and said guiltily: "I heard, I heard that he told the officers and soldiers guarding the camp that he went back to Daliang, let us not worry about him..."

Hearing what Tongqin said, Mu Lingzhi felt relieved. He thought about it carefully. Now that Chenzhi knew his identity, and the Yu Ruyan he had been looking for was also here, he must have returned to Daliang. went.

Thinking of what he asked him before, Mu Lingzhi felt uneasy, and told the copper coin: "Send someone back to Daliang to monitor His Highness's actions and protect his safety... If there is any abnormal behavior, please report to me quickly! "

If he guessed correctly, when Chen Zhi returns to Daliang this time, there will definitely be a bloodbath between him and the crown prince!
However, he has been away for three years, and his power in the court is weak. The love of his father and mother is definitely no match for the crown prince. Therefore, even if he has the heart to fight for the reserve, he still has to wait for him to return to Daliang to help him. He can do it with a helping hand!
Three years ago, King Liang had the idea of ​​making the eighth prince Mu Chenzhi the crown prince, so he bestowed on Chenzhi the Dragon Chanting Sword, which symbolized the status of the prince.

However, not long after the sword was given, something happened to Chen Zhi, who was murdered and disappeared for three years.

Now that he returns to Daliang, I'm afraid that the emperor's mind will change, but the crown prince has worked so hard for so many years to climb up to the position of prince, how can it be so easy for Chen Zhi to take it?

Mu Lingzhi once suspected that the person who murdered Chen Zhi was the Crown Prince back then, so all these years, he has been confronting the Crown Prince tit for tat, competing with him for the reserve position, partly because he wanted to avenge his younger brother.

"You let the hidden guards send a message to Master Li and the others, saying that His Highness the Eighth Highness is back, and let them follow His Highness as loyally as they do to me, and don't have to worry about me."

Hearing this, Tong Qian's whole body was shaken, and after understanding what he meant, he looked at him in disbelief, and said in shock, "Your Highness, you have worked so hard to plan for so many years and cultivated so many forces, so you just gave up and handed over to the Eighth Highness?! "

Under the moonlight, Mu Lingzhi's expression was very indifferent, and he said slowly: "You are really stupid if you say you are stupid, don't you understand that since I volunteered to go out for Daqi, my father's throne has never been with me .”

"Your Highness, it's not cheap for you to be the crown prince. You are obviously the best candidate for the crown prince!" Tong Qian didn't want to believe that he would give up the great cause that he had planned for many years, and tried to persuade him to change his mind.

"Your Highness, although you said you disobeyed the Holy Majesty's wishes this time, you defeated Wei and became famous all over the world. Presumably the Holy Majesty will not hold you accountable for using troops without authorization. Also, even if you don't think about yourself, You have to think about the people of Daliang, that prince... is narrow-minded and jealous..."

"Shut up!" Mu Lingzhi coldly drank the copper coins and continued, and said coldly, "You, a little attendant, dare to criticize the prince like this. Do you think your life is too long?"

"But Your Highness..."

"Don't talk about it, I have my own sense of proportion." Mu Lingzhi frowned slightly.

In fact, after learning that Chen Zhi was still alive, coupled with the opposition of King Liang and the imperial concubine to Yu Ruyan, Mu Lingzhi had already started to withdraw from his heart, and he did not want to compete for the crown prince anymore.

But he would not be reconciled if he let his elder brother who has no virtue be the crown prince. Fortunately, he knew that Chenzhi was still alive, so as long as Chenzhi was willing, he was willing to help him ascend to the position of crown prince. lesser……

As smart as he is, how could he not understand that Chen Zhi also fell in love with Yu Ruyan, moreover, the feelings will not be shallower than his...

When Chen Zhi asked him which Jiangshan beauty to choose, he knew clearly in his heart that Jiangshan beauty, he only wanted Yu Ruyan!

Therefore, if he has Yu Ruyan, let Chenzhi have the great Liang Jiangshan!
In this way, not only can he rest assured that Daliang's country is stable, but he can also stay together with Yu Ruyan without worrying about the troubles of the court or the three thousand in the harem, and take her, just the two of them, to travel around the mountains and rivers Huhai, wouldn't it be best to live a happy life like a fairy!
Therefore, the beauty of Jiangshan already had a clear answer in his heart when he offered to help the country of Qi fight!
After the copper coins were gone, Chen Yiqing came out from the side, and sighed: "Oh, for a woman, you actually have to give up the good world. This kind of affection is really shocking. Tsk tsk tsk!"

"If you, a person who loves horses like your life, were to choose between the bloody BMW and Yu Han, what would you choose?" Mu Lingzhi gave him a cool look, not wanting to talk to him very much.

Copper coins can't guess his thoughts, but the person in front of him knows him very well, so Chen Yiqing knows exactly what Mu Lingzhi is thinking, and of course, Mu Lingzhi also knows what he is thinking at a glance.

"Nonsense, it can be compared! Nothing can compare to her." Chen Yiqing blushed and said angrily.

"You are just as worthless as I am, so what face do you have to speak out against me?" Mu Lingzhi rolled his eyes at him, turned around and walked towards the kitchen without bothering to pay him any further attention.

"Look at your refreshed look. Why, you have successfully entered the battlefield?! Tsk tsk, pervert, huh!" Chen Yiqing looked at Mu Lingzhi's satisfied face, envious and jealous at the same time, his eyes widened. famous.

"It's better than a certain person, the monkey was so anxious that he almost killed someone." Mu Lingzhi ordered the cook to cook more braised pork tonight, with less oil, and put one more pepper, while not forgetting Hit Chen Yiqing back.

After giving the order, he looked back at Chen Yiqing, who had no face to face anyone, and said solemnly: "Yan Yan and I are already old couples, and it is understandable for us to be more impulsive than newly married, but what about you? Marriage contract, secondly, there is no matchmaker, and the parents and elders of both parties do not know, you sleep her without authorization, are you not afraid that my hot-tempered uncle who loves daughters will fight you desperately with a knife? If you dare not fight back, I will not help you. If the old man accidentally cuts you with a knife..."

After a pause, he glanced lightly at Chen Yiqing's crotch, Chen Yiqing's face turned pale immediately, and he was so frightened that he covered his crotch with his hands and trembled: "I'm wronged, I just couldn't help kissing her a few more times that day, It was her, it was she who threw me on the bed. I...I also wanted to wait until we got married...and then...but she threw me on the bed and directly stripped my clothes..."

"Let's think about it, how can a woman take the initiative in this matter, not to mention it is the first time she will never forget, if she develops this bad habit after this, then I... then I have completely lost the initiative That's why I pushed her back under my body...I really don't want to...as soon as I push her up, something will happen!"

After all, he looked at Mu Lingzhi pitifully with resentful eyes, and said aggrievedly, "Are all your Xie family members so enthusiastic, vigorous and invincible?"

Mu Lingzhi blushed. Thinking that he almost destroyed the bathtub just now, he couldn't help turning his face aside in embarrassment, and couldn't help muttering: "Isn't enthusiasm bad? I still think that my family is half as beautiful as Yuhan Enthusiasm!"

Chen Yiqing followed Mu Lingzhi all the time, and asked, "Your Highness, now that the war is over, I have to lead the army back to Beijing to return to my command. Are you and the princess going back to Daqi or Daliang?"

Mu Lingzhi frowned when he heard the words, and said without hesitation: "This time when I return to Daliang, I will inevitably be scolded by the emperor for a while, and there may be other punishments. But now I have finally reunited with Yan Yan. Take her back to her mother's house to hide for a while, and then take her back when my father's anger subsides, and marry her in the door, and from now on, I can sit back and relax."

"Hey, it's just how boring you want to be with the princess, why are you making so many excuses! If you go back to Daliang, those women in your back house, who have been alone for so long, are as hungry as jackals and leopards. There will be no way to let you go! At that time, you will have a quiet life to hang out with the princess every day!"

Chen Yiqing was very happy that he returned to Daqi with her, but she couldn't help but hit him in face.Mu Lingzhi said disapprovingly: "You are right. I really don't want to go back for this reason, lest they disturb the two-person world between me and Yanyan."

"Your Highness, I heard you calling Princess Ayan before, but why did she become Yanyan in one afternoon, it's so disgusting!"

"Isn't it disgusting!" Mu Lingzhi locked him outside the camp, and said with disgust: "Don't follow me anymore, just go and guard your Yuhan."

"Then, Your Highness, we will leave for Daqi tomorrow."

"You go your way, Yanyan and I will go alone."

Chen Yiqing howled outside the tent: "But the Holy Majesty has said that when we enter the city, we will personally lead civil and military officials to meet us outside the city. If you don't show up, the Holy Majesty will be so disappointed..."

The conversation between the two finally woke up Yu Ruyan, she was stunned for a moment and asked: "Is Your Highness going to return to Daqi with me?"

"Well, go back to Daqi first, and then back to Daliang! This time, I'm going to invite my father again, and marry you into the palace in a glorious manner, and be my princess." Mu Lingzhi stepped forward to help her wear the clothes. Good clothes, afraid that she would sweat and be thirsty, so I brought her tea and fed her to drink.

Hearing his words, Yu Ruyan's whole body was shaken, and her heart was agitated, and she couldn't help but think of her first marriage. At that time, he hated herself so much, but now...

Seeing how much he loves her now, Yu Ruyan felt a lot of relief in her heart——

In the end, my hard work was not in vain, and so much hard work and sincerity were exchanged for the same sincerity.

Thinking of this, the hardships and tiredness she had suffered before were nothing in her heart. Instead, they became rare memories and thoughts between her and Mu Ling. The truth is - the most beautiful things can only be seen after the storm. rainbow!
Mu Lingzhi laughed again: "I asked them to add more spicy peppers to tonight's braised pork. The taste must be better than the one at noon. Remember to eat more and grow more meat!"

Yu Ruyan said angrily: "Ever since you came back, you have been talking about the word "long meat" every day. You let me eat so much, do you want me to become fat?"

Mu Ling stepped forward to rub her face and said, "If you don't gain weight, how can you give me a fat baby in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Ruyan's face turned red again.Looking at her blushing face, Mu Ling said seriously: "My father and prince have few heirs. I have felt very lonely since I was a child, and it was not lively at all, so my wish is—"

Seeing his serious look, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but look at him nervously, and asked in a daze, "What is Your Highness' wish?"

Mu Lingzhi stretched out his palm and waved it in front of her, "My wish is that you give me at least five children. This way the family will be more lively."

Yu Ruyan's face was glowing, and yearning was also born in her heart, but when she thought about what the doctor said to her in Daliang before, her heart felt cold, and the hand holding the tea cup froze slightly.

I've been with him for so long, my stomach hasn't moved at all, let alone five children, even one child will be difficult...

Her eyes dimmed, she lowered her head to hide the pain and uneasiness in her heart, and said with a bitter smile: "Your Highness likes children so much, in fact...in fact, it can make those in the palace..."

"No, I just want to have a child with you, a child that belongs to both of us." Mu Lingzhi knew what she was going to say, and cut her off firmly.

"What if, what if I can't bear a child for His Highness?" Yu Ruyan felt bitter in her heart, and looked up at Mu Lingzhi in a daze, feeling endless pain in her heart.

Looking at the sad expression on her face, Mu Lingzhi remembered what she had said in the palace before, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. He stepped forward and hugged her in his arms to comfort her: "I asked the imperial doctor, you are just a patient. There is Gonghan, the imperial doctor said, as long as you take good care of your body, you will definitely conceive a child. Therefore, from now on, you must be obedient, eat more, rest well, and stop thinking about it."

Yu Ruyan snuggled into his arms and responded softly, remembering what he said to Chen Yiqing just now, she couldn't help saying: "Your Highness, you are a great hero and benefactor of my Daqi this time, and it is also true for your father to lead civil servants and officials to greet you with generous gifts." With one mind, let's enter the city together with the three armies."

"Well, whatever you say is up to you, as long as you're happy." Mu Lingzhi lovingly kissed her on the cheek, picked her up and got off the bed for dinner.

In the early morning of the second day, the three armies set off back to the capital together. Mu Lingzhi sat in the carriage with Yu Ruyan, chatted with her to relieve boredom, and ignored Chen Yiqing's invitation to ride a horse.

Hearing that Xiaodao had quietly returned to Daliang, Yu Ruyan's heart sank, knowing that Xiaodao was sad after all.

Even though she was heartbroken, she thought of the feelings he shouldn't have for her, and thought that maybe it would be good to separate, so as to save him from feeling sad.I also hope that after returning to Daliang, he will understand the impossibility between him and her, and rationally let go of the feelings he shouldn't have in his heart, and live his life well.

Looking at the way they came from, both of them felt a lot of sighs in their hearts.

When Mu Lingzhi led the troops to the battlefield first, Yu Ruyan hadn't forgiven him yet. While thinking about his relationship with her, he was worrying about the dangerous battle at the same time. He was worried on both sides, and his heart was also suffering!
And since Yu Ruyan heard the news of his 'death' from Yu Mingzhu, and then saw the blood-stained armor with her own eyes in the imperial study, her heart was as desperate and sad as she stepped on the road to hell, and she was even sad and sick in the end. Falling on the road, almost dying...

Now, the two have let go of their previous suspicions and reunited happily. Compared with the hardships and heartaches on the journey when they came, the journey back is so happy and complete.

When the sun was shining during the day, Mu Lingzhi would sit in the carriage with Yu Ruyan and play chess and talk; in the early morning or evening when the weather was cool, the two would ride together, walking or galloping under the morning glow and sunset.

Mu Lingzhi had already ordered Chen Yiqing to stay away from them and not to disturb them.Therefore, without the interruption of outsiders, the time along the way completely belonged to the two of them, watching the sunrise and the sunset every day, and loving each other.I can't help but lament that the journey back is too short, and I hope that it will be good to keep walking with each other all the time.

However, the better the time, the shorter it is, and in just a few days, the capital of Daqi is far away.

Tomorrow is going to the city. Seeing Yu Ruyan's disappointed expression, Mu Lingzhi knew her reluctance, and couldn't help but comfort him, "Don't worry, I will put aside all troubles and take you on a good tour of the mountains, rivers and lakes. Just the two of us."

Yu Ruyan knew that he was comforting her, so she couldn't help laughing and said, "I am satisfied with Your Highness's kindness, but His Highness is the Prince of Daliang, and you have responsibilities that you should bear. How can you let go of everything just because of me. If His Highness is really like this If I do it, I'm afraid that the world will say that I'm a beauty."

"No, wait until eight... When the affairs of the court and China are stabilized, I will not deal with them anymore, and I can naturally live a peaceful life with you. The world is peaceful, who dares to criticize?" Mu Lingzhi looked at her. eyes firmly said.

Yu Ruyan smiled bitterly, and said softly: "Is your Highness only responsible for court affairs? Your Highness has forgotten that there are An Shi and the others in the palace. Your Highness is a person who values ​​affection, how can you let them do nothing!"

"I did have concerns before, but during the difficult days when you left my side, I figured it out. Life is short, and winter and spring are only a few decades away. Instead of hurting the person I really love because of responsibility , it’s better to let go of the secular world and spend the limited years with the one you love, so that you don’t waste your life in this world.”

"So, before I came to Daqi to look for you, I made arrangements. An Shi and the others will continue to live in the palace as their side concubines. I will live with you in another garden. You don't need to see them, and you don't have to worry about it." .”

Yu Ruyan was startled when she heard the words, she looked at him blankly, she couldn't believe that he had made such a decision for herself, her heart was so hot that she was so moved that she couldn't speak.

The next day, Daqi's army returned in triumph, and the troops returned to the court. King Qi personally led all the officials and all the people in Kyoto out of the city to welcome the returning army.

This time, Da Qi turned a bad luck into a good fortune, which is really a celebration. The whole country of Qi changed from the worries before, and the whole country was full of joy. The palace of Qi even held a banquet for half a month to celebrate.

The son-in-law of the fifth princess Yu Ruyan, the third prince of Daliang has become a legendary figure passed down by everyone in Qi. Every time at a banquet, the king of Qi will respectfully welcome him to a high position and be worshiped and admired by everyone. Even the fifth princess Yu Ruyan has become She is the object of admiration among all the women in Qi State, and envies her for marrying the best and most outstanding Ruyi Langjun in the world!
Anyone who has seen Mu Ling's demeanor, no one marvels that the fifth princess is married to the best man in the world, and everyone who has seen Yu Ruyan praises that the fifth princess of Qi is the most beautiful in the world.

The two appeared in front of the crowd, accompanied by each other. The man is incomparably charming, and the woman is more beautiful than a fairy. Everyone knows that they are really a pair of talents and looks, and they are a perfect match!
When the countless praises and honors about Yu Ruyan and Mu Lingzhi were passed on to Chunlan Palace by the palace people, Yu Mingzhu's pale face was even paler against the backdrop of her filial piety, and her heart ached. He was about to bleed from hatred, and the silk handkerchief in his hand was about to be crushed——

On the day when the army entered the city, she also quietly left the palace, and saw Mu Lingzhi return triumphantly on a tall horse leading the army. Dazzling, although his expression was indifferent, was even more fascinating. All the women present were attracted by him, and everyone's eyes followed him, reluctant to take their eyes off.

However, after he got off the horse, he went straight to the carriage behind, and in front of King Qi and the whole capital, he hugged Yu Ruyan dotingly and got off the carriage. Crazy in love, those fiery eyes and the smile that only showed at the corners of her mouth not only made all the girls in the city envious, but also made her, the majestic Princess of Qi, Yu Mingzhu, even more so jealous that her heart was bleeding!

Why, why is it that she is the eldest princess with the most noble background, and only she is worthy of the most outstanding man in the world, but what happened? !
That outstanding man who was famous all over the world appeared in front of everyone holding that bitch's hands. Not only did his father treat them with great courtesy, but the others even respected them as heavenly beings, but what about her?
No matter how hard she tries to choose, she will marry a mute in the end. How can she, who is proud and arrogant, be willing to do so!

But the Empress Dowager had issued a strict order that she must marry, so, three days before their wedding, Shangguan Xianzhong suddenly committed suicide in his own home!

The groom is dead, so the marriage naturally doesn't need to end.

But what I didn't expect was that she hadn't been to Shangshu's house yet, but after hearing about Shangguan Xianzhong, the queen mother asked her to wear sackcloth and mourning for him for a month!

Without a husband and son-in-law, she has to keep a filial piety. Yu Mingzhu is about to become the laughing stock of the whole world. There are even rumors that she is a Kefu's sweeping star, and she killed her son-in-law before she got through the door, which made her feel ashamed and hated.

However, when she was in the most difficult time, Yu Ruyan appeared in front of her with boundless affection with her Ruyi Langjun, stealing her limelight and completely making her eyes red!

Ever since seeing Mu Lingzhi's majestic demeanor at the gate of the city, Yu Mingzhu has never seen other men in her eyes, but now that he is Yu Ruyan's husband, what should she do?
On this day, King Qi rested in Chunlan Palace again. After nightfall, King Qi was just about to go to bed, when there was a noise in the Peony Pavilion where Yu Mingzhu lived, which alarmed King Qi and Concubine Lian!
