Concubine to conquer the world

Chapter 354
Nan Ye got up, walked around the hall for a few laps, and left Prince Yuning's mansion.

When he returned to the East Palace, he deliberately observed the movements of the Shogun Palace in the dark.

Seeing that the two gates of Muwang Mansion were tightly closed, he couldn't see what was going on in the mansion at all.

After staying for a short while, he returned to the East Palace.

Emerald Mountain.

A brown-red carriage was parked by the side of the road, and Xia Qingxin got out of the carriage with the support of Han Mu.

The neat two rows of cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road extend to the end. At this time, it is the season when the flowers are in full bloom. Clusters of crimson petals hang on the branches. The two rows of branches meet, covering the blue sky. Looking up, there is a sea of ​​flowers.

Perhaps it was because of an accident on the Long Street during the Lantern Festival, but today the Emerald Mountain was so cold that only Xia Qingxin and Han Mu were there.

Ordinarily, at this time of year in previous years, the crowds of people on the Emerald Mountain were surging, and the roads were blocked.

Xia Qingxin walked on the road made of bluestone slabs, her steps were light.

A tulle skirt that matches the scenery dances with the wind. At first glance, the back is graceful and seductive.

Han Mu followed behind her, and accidentally raised his head to see her figure, and couldn't help but throb in his heart.

He quickly hid that emotion without any trace, lowered his head, clenched the saber at his waist and looked away.

While walking, Xia Qingxin suddenly stopped and pointed at the cluster of cherry blossoms above her head.

"This one looks good."

Following the direction she was pointing at, Han Mu went straight to her without any hesitation.

Because of his height advantage, he just stretched out his arm lightly to break off the branch of cherry blossom, and then handed it to Xia Qingxin.

"But my subordinates feel that no matter how delicate and beautiful this flower blooms, it can't compare with your empress at all."

Xia Qingxin took the flowers in Han Mu's hand, and after hearing his words, her movements froze for a moment.

She continued to walk forward, as if she didn't hear Han Mu's words.

Staring at the cherry blossoms in her hand, she gradually raised her lips.

She continued to walk forward, and her steps became even slower.

She didn't want to come to the end so quickly, because she didn't want to go back to the East Palace without a trace of warmth.

Thinking of the prince's indifference to her, her heart felt like a knife was piercing her.

Even though he has done too much for Nanye, he still refuses to treat her sincerely
After walking for a long time, she sat down on a stone stool, looked up at the flowers above her head, and spoke lightly.

"It would be nice if such a beautiful flower wouldn't wither."

Han Mu's hand holding the hilt of the sword slightly tightened.

This was not the first time he saw Xia Qingxin lost his mind.

Maybe he just couldn't bear to see her like this, so he couldn't help wanting to protect her.

In his opinion, the princess is a woman worthy of being cherished.

"Even if it withers this year, it will still bloom next year."

He and Xia Qingxin were separated by a distance that a master and servant should have. He lowered his head very low, and even his voice was much lower than usual.

Hearing Han Mu's words, Xia Qingxin couldn't help throwing a glance at him.

Bathed in the crimson color of Han Mu, there was a certain kind of elegance on her body that she hadn't noticed in ordinary times.

"Come and sit down, aren't you tired standing there?"

Xia Qingxin moved to one side to make room.

Han Mu looked at that position, and his heart tightened.

He didn't dare to go there because of his different identities.

But he didn't want to reject Xia Qingxin, so he stood there blankly, neither advancing nor retreating, looking very embarrassed.

While hesitating, Xia Qingxin spoke again.
