Chapter 136 Falling in Love with Chess Pieces
After hearing Mu Xiang's plan, Mu Yunzhi has been looking for an opportunity for Prince Yi and his father to fight. Now when he saw the sword on his body, he knew that the opportunity was coming, so he pretended to be frightened and shouted 'help' Finally, without even thinking about it, he grabbed the spear from the Habayashi Army beside him and stabbed at the three people in the encirclement...

In terms of kung fu, the three people in the arena are stronger than Mu Yunzhi, so Mu Lingzhi raised his hand to block his stab before he reached his eyes. Mu Yunzhi couldn't move, the spear seemed to grow in his hand, and Mu Yunzhi couldn't pull it out even if he wanted to.

He didn't expect Mu Lingzhi to stop him without any effort, and he couldn't help but hate: "You disobedient son, you even joined forces with the rebels to attack the father. Didn't you see that he drew his sword at the father?"

Mu Ling saw through his thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but coldly said: "Prince Yi is obviously going to use this sword to exchange three conditions with the emperor, so why would he assassinate him again? I'm afraid the emperor's ulterior motives are not in the wine! "

After all, he threw the spear in his hand heavily, and a strong force used the spear to attack Mu Yunzhi. He couldn't stand still, but he stumbled back several steps before he could stand firmly.

When Mu Lingzhi exposed his dark thoughts in public, and was easily defeated by him, Mu Yunzhi's face became dull, his face flushed red, and he became angry from embarrassment: "Just relying on a sword, you dare to negotiate terms with the emperor!" Isn't it too arrogant? You, a disobedient son, did not share the same hatred with the father, but stood with him. Didn't you make it clear that you wanted to be against the father? Father, they are so unfilial, openly against you, Let the Habayashi Army arrest them together, don't hesitate any longer!"

His voice was loud and anxious, as if he was afraid that the king of Liang would not be able to hear him. Just like what Mu Xiang said, even if he couldn't kill the two of them, he would have to let this matter drive a wedge between the father and them. .

However, no matter what he said, Liang Wang didn't seem to hear it, but just stared blankly at the Long Xiao Sword in Mu Yizhi's hand.

When Mu Yizhi showed the Dragon Roaring Sword, which truly symbolizes the sword of the king, King Liang stood behind the Yulin Army. Although his expression was calm and composed, his hands under the dragon robe couldn't help trembling slightly——

Of course he knew Long Xiaojian.Back then, in order to get it, King Liang spent his whole life trying!
The world only knows that Emperor Kaizu ordered the most skilled swordsman in the world to make two extremely sharp swords from the precious black iron that fell from the sky, and gave them to his two sons respectively. The world called these two swords dragons. Ling sword, in fact, these two seemingly identical swords are different.

When the dragon's sword on Xiaodao was pulled out, there was only the sound of dragon's sword, while Mu Yizhi's sword had not only the sound of dragon's sword, but also the faint sound of a tiger roaring.

The dragon is the king of the water, the tiger is the overlord of the land, the one who can master the dragon and the tiger at the same time is the real king of the world!
At the beginning, Emperor Kaizu gave the Long Xiao Sword to the prince, who was Mu Yizhi's father, and the Long Ling Sword to the current King Liang.

The mystery of these two swords is well known to Liang Wang brothers and some old officials. When the late emperor bestowed the Dragon Xiao Sword on Mu Yi, it was at the time when he made him the crown prince. The late emperor also told the origin of these two swords Know with him.

So, watching Mu Yizhi show off the Long Xiao Sword, Liang Wang's face turned pale——

After the first emperor passed away, King Liang searched the entire palace, but did not find the sword, and Prince Yi fell into the sea of ​​fire and was scorched, and he could not recognize the body. King Liang took the charred body personally. They turned over one by one, but they didn't find the Long Xiao Sword. Unexpectedly, it was taken away by Prince Yi who was lucky enough to survive.

Now watching him come back with this sword that symbolizes the identity of the emperor, Liang Wang fell into the ice cave all over his body. If Prince Yi told the origin and meaning of Longxiao Sword in front of the whole world, I am afraid that those who once crowded the emperor , and the ministers who were dissatisfied with him who launched an army to kill his brother to seize the throne ten years ago will definitely seize this opportunity, support Prince Yi as the supremacy, and drive him to step down!
If this is the case, Liang Wang knows that the time of his downfall will be the time of his downfall. At that time, his children and concubines in the harem will be killed like he treated the first emperor ten years ago!

Thinking of this, Liang Wang's eyes were shining brightly, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura——

It seems that today is going to be a massacre like ten years ago!

Prince Yi is about to die, if any minister dares to stand up and speak for Prince Yi, he will be killed too!
But if his son...

Looking at Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao who had been standing by Mu Yizhi's side, Liang Wang gritted his teeth, secretly hating himself for pampering them too much!

But at this moment, Master Shaoqing Wang of Dali Temple reported to King Liang: "I report to Your Majesty. The Long Xiao Sword in his hand is indeed real, and everyone in the world knew that the emperor gave this sword to the King of Liang. Prince Yi, now it seems that the same appearance, and this Long Xiao Sword is enough to prove that he is the former prince, Prince Yi."

Mr. Wang's words made King Liang's heart tremble. In fact, the moment Mu Yizhi appeared, he had already recognized that he was Empress Zhu's only direct son.

Looking fixedly at Mu Yizhi in front of him, King Liang seemed to be looking at another person through him, but that one was...

The hardened heart softened after the figure flashed in his mind, and the murderous aura in King Liang's body was instantly extinguished.

He sighed heavily in his heart, and said to himself, decades have passed, and it's time to end the grievances and resentments.

The King of Liang waved his hand heavily, telling everyone from the Dali Temple and the Yulin Army to go down, and sighed: "Since he is the orphan of the former emperor, this matter belongs to my family, you all step down!"

After hearing King Liang's words, the others retreated, and in an instant, only King Liang's family, Mu Yizhi, and Yu Ruyan were left in the wide square.

Yu Ruyan thought for a while, and finally felt that it was inappropriate to stay in her current identity, so she also quietly retreated with the others, but was stopped by Mu Yizhi.

"Five princesses please step!"

Mu Yizhi suddenly called out Yu Ruyan, which surprised her.And Mu Lingzhi seemed to think of something in his heart, and his face slowly sank...

Sure enough, as he expected, Mu Yizhi looked at Liang Wang word by word and said: "I came here today for no other purpose, just to take this Dragon Xiao Sword and hand over three conditions to Liang Qin. Can you agree?"

King Liang looked into his clear eyes, lost his mind for a moment, and said, "Talk about it first!"

"First, I want to remove my imperial status. Mu Yizhi died today as well as he lived. From now on, there will be no one like me in the Liang family's royal family."

As soon as these words came out, King Liang and the others, even Yu Ruyan, were stunned.

Prince Yi suddenly appeared at the Prince's Seal Ceremony today, and he also brought the Long Xiao Sword, which symbolized the real emperor, given to him by the previous emperor. Everyone thought that he was taking this opportunity to force the king of Liang to get back his Wanli Jiangshan came, but what no one expected was that he took the initiative to ask to be removed from the imperial status and become a commoner!
Among these people, only Mu Lingzhi was not surprised when he heard his words. He was as smart as him, and he already guessed why he was here today. Guessing, the eyes can't help but darken, and the face is even more gloomy——

Although he is pleased that Prince Yi can let go of his previous hatred, and it is even more rare that he is willing to let go of the great world, but when he thinks of the other possibility he is looking for, Mu Lingzhi's face turns pale, and his heart is extremely heavy...

Before everyone recovered from the shock, Mu Yizhi spoke slowly again——

"Secondly, although I no longer belong to the royal family, I hope that King Liang will give me a special decree so that I can go to the imperial tomb to worship my father and mother at any time."

"Third... I want to take someone away."

As soon as this remark came out, several other people looked at him in bewilderment, wondering who he would ask King Liang for?
Mu Yizhi looked at King Liang resolutely, and said word by word: "If King Liang can agree to these three conditions, I will voluntarily hand over the Longxiao Sword, and I will never enter the royal family again in this life, and have nothing to do with the royal family!"

After hearing his words, Liang Wang and the noble concubine were all in disbelief, and they couldn't believe that he had voluntarily asked to give up everything about the Liang royal family.

The current situation is the best. It is Liang Wang who never dreamed of a perfect result, and the big rock in his heart slowly dissipated.

Mu Lingzhi's face turned pale when he heard what Prince Yi said.

Seeing his sudden change of expression, Yu Ruyan panicked. She quickly walked to his side, took his cold hand, and asked in a worried voice, "What's wrong, Your Highness? But what's wrong?"

After all, she couldn't help reaching out to touch his forehead.His forehead was not hot, but layers of cold sweat poured out.

Mu Lingzhi's heart was sore and unspeakable, the pain was unbearable——

From the day I met Prince Yi in Daqi's palace, listening to the meaning between the lines in his words, and then hearing Yu Ruyan talk about how he had saved her in private, and then thinking of how desperately he never Rescuing her under the collapsed platform, and using his body to block the wooden pillar for her, his intuition told him that the person Prince Yi wanted to take away was Yu Ruyan.

He never expected that God made the saddest and most hateful joke with him. Not only did his younger brother fall in love with the same woman as him, but even his cousin wanted to compete with him for Yu Ruyan.

Mu Lingzhi's heart was filled with sadness, and his mind was filled with chaos.

Looking at Yu Ruyan's face full of worries about him, Mu Lingzhi felt so miserable. He didn't know how to tell her his worries and fears, and he didn't know how to reject him. Prince Yi's request.

If Prince Yi said, let a Yu Ruyan offset all the grievances owed to him by their father and son, his father would definitely agree, but what about him?How does he refuse to block?

He would rather give up his own life to repay the sword that year than let him take Yu Ruyan away.

Thinking of this, Mu Lingzhi's heart ached like twists, and he held Yu Ruyan's hand tightly with his backhand, and his whole body couldn't help trembling with fear!

Yu Ruyan didn't know what happened to him all of a sudden, but thought he was not feeling well. Thinking of how busy and worrying he was these days, and he hadn't closed his eyes for a moment of rest, his heart ached to death.

She whispered in his ear: "If Your Highness is tired, you can lean on me. When I go back to Yunsong Courtyard, I will definitely lock you in the room. If you don't sleep for a whole day and night, I won't sleep." let you out."

After hearing her words, Mu Lingzhi felt more bitter in his heart, but he forced a smile on her face and said dotingly: "Well, you are tired too, after we go back, let's sleep together for a day and a night, close the gate of Yunsong Courtyard, Let no one in."

Although the two were whispering, Yu Ruyan's face turned red, and she hummed softly shyly.

From the moment Mu Yizhi mentioned the third condition, his eyes stayed on Yu Ruyan and never moved away. When he saw her involuntary affection and love for Mu Ling, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and couldn't help but feel pain in his mouth. It is fishy and sweet again.

He chose to let go of the hatred he had carried for ten years because of love, but he also fell into another kind of pain because of love.

From the beginning when he purposely approached Yu Ruyan, to being uncontrollably affected by her emotions, he gradually forgot his original intentions, and even at the end, watching her design a plan because of the situation he set up for revenge. The trap she had set made her suffer from the misunderstanding and bullying of the world, and made her suffer and feel wronged. Mu Yizhi began to regret in his heart——

He hates himself for falling in love with a chess piece, and also hates himself for treating the person he loves as a chess piece!

In the end, revenge was no longer the most important thing in his life. He suddenly realized that what he longed for the most was no longer revenge for killing Liang Wang and Mu Ling, but to be with Yu Ruyan, thinking about it every day. Every night by her side, I want to see her smile, I want her to know the real me, I want to see what I used to be from her beautiful eyes...

But now, seeing Yu Ruyan's love for Mu Lingzhi from the bottom of his heart, the courage he finally summoned up hesitated again...

In fact, he also knew that even if he wanted to take her away, she would not agree, but he just wanted a thorough answer, an answer that made him give up enough.

Seeing that he didn't say who he wanted for a long time, Liang Wang couldn't help asking: "Which one do you want to take away?"

Liang Wang is also a smart person. Seeing that the sharp look in Mu Yizhi's eyes had turned into gentle affection at this time, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is there someone you like in this palace? Don't you remember when you were a child and Mu Yizhi?" The marriage contract at home, you want to take Mu Ziyue away?"

King Liang's words shook Mu Yizhi's whole body, and the expression that had finally softened was instantly as cold as ice. He snorted coldly, glanced coldly at the silent eldest prince Mu Yunzhi, and said coldly: "I I am no longer a member of the royal family, how can I be worthy of being the daughter of the Mu family with my current status, heh, but then again, even if I am still the prince of Daliang, I will never marry her again."

His tone was decisive and disdainful, as if he hated Mu Ziyue very much, King Liang couldn't help being curious when he saw what he said.

And Mu Lingzhi was panicked and desperate at the beginning, but now he has made up his mind, no matter what, Prince Yi can ask him for anything, but Yu Ruyan, he will never let go.

Thinking this way in my heart, I couldn't help holding her hand tightly, for fear that she would be snatched away.

Martial arts practitioners have great strength in their hands. Mu Lingzhi was so flustered that he forgot to control his strength and squeezed Yu Ruyan's hand until the red marks appeared.She was so frightened that she hurriedly picked up her hand to examine it, seeing the red marks on the back of her hand, her heart ached endlessly.

However, at this moment, Yu Ruyan's other hand was held by Mu Yizhi. She turned her head in surprise, only to see Prince Yi, who had just rescued her, staring at her with an inexplicable expression on her face. Sadness made her feel cold, her heart sank, as if she had thought of something, her eyes widened in horror...

The expression on Mu Yizhi's handsome face was flustered but determined. He fixedly looked at the astonished Yu Ruyan, saw his pale face reflected in her unparalleled eyes, and felt a sharp pain in his heart. .

Yu Ruyan became frightened by his fiery gaze, and tried her best to shake off his hand, but his hand, like Mu Lingzhi, was cold but powerful, holding her tightly.

He gritted his teeth to suppress the growing pain in his heart, and said with trembling lips: "Fifth Princess, I saved you today, if I want to take you away, would you be willing...cough...cough..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Yizhi suddenly coughed violently. He pressed his hand on his chest desperately, but he was reluctant to let go of the hand holding Yu Ruyan. Even though his body bowed in pain, he still gritted his teeth and pretended nothing happened. looking at Yu Ruyan, waiting for her answer.

Although she already guessed it in her heart, Yu Ruyan still didn't want to believe that the person he was going to take away was herself, so she couldn't help but stay on the spot!
I still remember the first time I saw him in the palace, he also said that he would take me away. At that time, she concealed her identity and suffered so hard in the palace. If he wanted to take her away, it could be said that he was kind and pity herself for a while. Take yourself out of the sea of ​​suffering.But now, she has finally come to the end of all hardships, and she has been in love with Mu Ling for a long time, and the two are happy, but he said that he would take him away, or in front of King Liang and the concubine. In this way, the king of Liang and the concubine will return How does anyone else think of her?
The imperial concubine already had a bad impression of her, but now that she is getting involved with Prince Yi, she might be even more displeased with herself, and other people who don't know will definitely misunderstand the relationship between them and how she will live in Daliang in the future ?
And now that Prince Yi's previous schemes have been seen through by Mu Lingzhi and her, she no longer has any effect on him, and her relationship with him is not even a pawn, so what's the use of taking him away?
Could it be that he just wanted revenge on Mu Lingzhi?
However, he had let go of his hatred for King Liang, so why would he care about seeking revenge from Mu Lingzhi?
The more Yu Ruyan thought about it, the more she couldn't understand, just for a moment, her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't figure it out, why did the former prince of Daliang always grab her?

Although he had saved her several times, she also knew that she was just a pawn in his revenge against Mu Lingzhi, so Yu Ruyan was not grateful to him, let alone go with him.

What's more, remembering that the previous rumors about the jade girl and herself were all written by the former prince, Yu Ruyan didn't have much affection for him, she just felt that he was also a poor innocent under the lust of power , but it is absolutely impossible to let her go with him.

Mu Lingzhi was so angry at Prince Yi's request that he couldn't speak. Under his anger, he didn't notice any abnormalities in Prince Yi's body. He was about to refuse her with a gloomy face, but Yu Ruyan spoke out angrily.

The pretty face was flushed, and Yu Ruyan said to Mu Yizhi righteously: "Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for saving me just now, but your highness should understand in your heart that I don't owe you any kindness, because, before Your Highness treated me like a pawn and harmed me so much, if you save me now, it can only be regarded as a two-for-two balance."

"Instead of getting rid of a useless pawn, Your Highness should ask the Holy One for someone who will be useful to His Highness. Why should Your Highness be so obsessed with a useless pawn! I will never go with you, Your Highness, give up!"

Yuru's face was full of shame, hearing the words, Mu Yizhi's pale face had turned gray, his lips moved to explain something to her, but when he opened his mouth, the fishy sweetness in his throat gushed out...

It was embarrassing enough to be rejected by her like this, Mu Yizhi wanted to leave the last trace of dignity in front of her, he pursed his lips tightly, not wanting her to see his more embarrassment and pity!
But the hand holding her has been reluctant to let go...

Seeing him clinging to Yu Ruyan, Mu Lingzhi's anger was out of control, and Xiaodao was also furious when he heard that the person Prince Yi wanted to take away was his sister, and was about to step forward to help her. Yu Ruyan shook off his hand. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yu Ruyan felt the strength on her wrist loosen, and blood gushed out of Mu Yizhi's mouth, and she let go of her tightly clenched hand. Clutching his chest, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and the next moment he fell to the ground...

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone, Mu Lingzhi was the first to react, and couldn't bother to blame him anymore
He looked at Yu Ruyan, but anxiously asked the palace servants to find the imperial physician, and everyone present, including Yu Ruyan, was also shocked by Prince Yi's description, and the scene was in a panic...

Mu Yizhi was sent to Mu Lingzhi's Chaoyang Palace for treatment. Mu Lingzhi was afraid of another accident, so he personally stayed by Prince Yi's side and accompanied him to Chaoyang Palace.And Yu Ruyan, who had gone through the ups and downs of the day, was already exhausted to the point of collapse, physically and mentally exhausted, and was about to order Brother An to prepare a carriage and return to the palace. Because of the matter between Prince Yi and her, she wanted to avoid suspicion and dare not go to Mu Lingzhi again. It was Chaoyang Palace, so he could only go back to the palace to rest, but before he could leave, he was called into Yaohua Palace by Concubine Xie Guifei!

Seeing Yu Ruyan's exhausted face, Concubine Xie's expression was indifferent, she stared at Yu Ruyan for a long time before she said coldly, "Princess Yu is not going to explain to me what happened today?"

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan gave a bitter smile, she knew that Concubine Xie had misunderstood her relationship with Prince Yi after all!

With a sigh, Yu Ruyan started with the rumors about Da Qi Yunv, and told Concubine Xie every word about Mu Yizhi taking her as a pawn in revenge.

In the end, she said powerlessly: "Mother, all this is why I was reduced to a military prostitute and a servant girl, why Your Highness hated me to the bone and wanted to kill me before meeting me, and why the assassin The jade pendant that His Highness gave me on my body, all of this is just a trap arranged by Prince Yi for revenge, and I am just a small pawn in this trap."

After listening to what she said, Concubine Xie widened her eyes in shock, and said in disbelief: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns between you and Ling Zhi. I misunderstood you before."

But the imperial concubine changed the subject, looked at her with a frown and said, "But now that he has spoken, let His Majesty agree to his three requests, I'm afraid His Majesty will agree to his words because of what happened ten years ago. But, Ling I am also aware of his feelings for you, I am afraid that with his temperament, he will never agree to let you take Prince Yi away, then he will definitely offend his father."

Concubine Xie Guifei looked at her with a headache, and said helplessly: "This matter is so troublesome, what are you going to do?"
