The son is responsible

When eating, Li Jialin was naturally the seat of honor, sitting with Lu Yu, Concubine Xie and Princess Sulian sat on the left, and Lu Qian and Shen Chu sat on the right.After that, it was Marquis Feng and his son.Xie Zhiyang didn't come, Xue Muji sat on the other side with Xie Mu.

Lu Yu took the lead in toasting, and everyone drank it down in one gulp. Only Lu Qian took a small sip from the wine glass like a little bird.Li Jialin toasted the second cup, casually joking, "Why doesn't Sister Qian not drink?"

Lu Qian blushed, she was a little shy, Lu Yu shook her head, as if she was very helpless, but Shen Chu stood up and said, "Qian'er is not feeling well, I will drink for her."

Xue Muji knew what was going on at a glance, Lu Qian was probably pregnant, and it was also impossible to make Lu Yu nod and marry the Shen family, except for this reason.

Lu Qian also exhausted her calculations to come up with this trick that would rather destroy her reputation. After all, Xie Manxing and Lu Qian still have a marriage contract.Xue Muji quietly asked Xie Mu, "Didn't Dajing have etiquette that newlyweds are not allowed to see each other for a few months before they get married?"

Xie Mu thought for a while and said, "It seems that there was one, and it was abolished by the emperor a few years ago. It is against human nature to say yes."

Xue Muji glanced at Li Jialin, who was seriously serving food for Lu Yu.Lu Yu completely behaved as it should. Even if the people sitting below thought it was strange, they did not dare to criticize the emperor's words and deeds.

Li Jialin put down his chopsticks and offered a second glass of wine.He seemed to be in a good mood and drank the entire jug of wine.

Lu Qian's wine was all from Shen Chudai, Xue Muji knew Shen Chu's drinking capacity well, even all the people here couldn't drink him together.He felt more and more strange.

Lu Yu was neither hot nor cold towards Shen Chu, and he was not very close from the beginning to the end.And the wedding is imminent, and the Prince Regent's House can't see any signs of planning to marry their daughter.The point is, Shen Chu was not very attentive, he was very kind to Lu Qian, but he was too indifferent towards Lu Qian's father, there was almost no verbal communication between the two of them during the banquet.

Xue Muji was a little puzzled. In the previous life, did the two have such a cold relationship?Didn't Shen Chu betray him because he wanted to use the power of the regent to ascend to the throne?

Seeing that Lu Qian picked up the soup bowl, scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew on it, and fed it to Shen Chu.

Xue Muji really couldn't stand it anymore, it was as if Lu Qian had changed her soul compared to him.He pulled Shizi Xie next to him, saying that he was a little drunk and wanted to go out to sober up.

Li Jialin drank a few glasses of wine in a row, and seemed to be drunk, half of his body was paralyzed by Lu Yu's side, Lu Yu was still talking to Xie Xuan, but finally pressed over with his body, still dizzy, vague and didn't know what to say.He really has nothing to do, Li Jialin's drinking capacity is very low, and his wine quality is not very good, but he can't control it.Lu Yu stood up and did not say goodbye very politely. He asked his servants to prepare the carriage, picked up Li Jialin, and left from the main entrance.

Xue Muji and Xie Mu squatted in the pavilion, and saw the regent carrying Li Jialin into the carriage, and then sent his servants into the house to fetch the thin quilt, and cooked a pot of hangover soup.He followed in the carriage, and the carriage left the courtyard gate and headed towards the palace.

In the previous life, Xie Manxing had seen too many scenes like this, so it was nothing at all. When Li Jialin was suffering from the cold and high fever, Lu Yu spent several nights without sleep taking care of him by his bedside.It's no wonder that Li Jialin is so attached to Lu Yu and obeys Lu Yu in everything. Seeing his age, he doesn't want to cut Lu Yu's power according to the wishes of the courtiers.Lu Yu is actually raising the emperor of the Great Jing Kingdom like a son. It has been 14 years since the accident in the imperial mausoleum.Even animals can have feelings, let alone humans.

He used to doubt whether Lu Qian was born to Lu Yu, because most of the time when Lu Qian was a child, she was thrown in Princess Qi'an's mansion to fend for herself.

Seeing Shizi Feng and Princess Sulian, Xue Muji also came out of the house for a walk.He walked up with a smile, Princess Sulian didn't know him, she just smiled slightly.Her smile is very ordinary, just like her appearance, very ordinary, without the dignity and demeanor of a princess at all.Xie Mu followed behind Xue Muji, and smiled back. When he came, he gave the umbrella he made himself to Princess Sulian. He really wanted to know what gift the son of the Feng family gave him.Which one does Princess Sulian prefer.

Seeing Xue Muji, Feng Jun's eyes immediately burst into flames, but in front of the princess, he had to show his tolerance and generosity.As the oldest one, he coughed twice and said, "So it's Shizi Xue and Shizi Xie."

Xie Mu was polite, but Xue Muji suddenly reached out and grabbed Princess Sulian's wrist.

"You are bold!" Feng Jun jumped up, this Xue Muji is too courageous, even the princess dares to tease like this!Who doesn't know that Princess Sulian is traditional and conservative, and she pays the most attention to etiquette. She once vowed to save her mother's soul and accompany the blue lantern for 20 years, and she will not talk about marriage until her younger brother becomes an adult.

Xie Sulian looked terrified, and wanted to withdraw her hand, Xue Muji grabbed it hard, and pulled Princess Sulian into her arms with all her strength.His face slightly raised, and he placed a kiss on Princess Sulian's forehead.

"You..." Xie Sulian was about to yell for someone to come, but she heard Xue Muji sing a melody softly in her ear, then she fell silent, her body began to tremble slightly, when Xue Muji finished singing and pulled away, Grabbing Xue Muji's sleeve, he asked eagerly, "How do you know this song? This is a song written by Man Xing for me, how do you know how to sing it!"

"When Xie Manxing lived in my house, he sang and played when he had nothing to do. I learned to follow after listening too much." Xue Muji squinted, looking at Feng Jun triumphantly.

Feng Jun immediately shouted, "Princess, don't be fooled by him."

Princess Sulian wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Is Manxing okay? I have read the letters he wrote to Dad in the past few years. It turns out that he lived in Pingjiang for a while. Xue Shizi, did Manxing say when? go home?"

Xue Muji shook his head, "I don't know, Xie Manxing owes the Pingjiang Houfu 100 million taels of silver, let me ask you for it. I asked him to leave an IOU, and he said let me hum this song, you can Will help him pay the bill."

When he saw the princess's face was flushed, he obviously couldn't believe it. My sister was so easy to deceive.Xie Sulian murmured, "I, our son-in-law's house, can't afford so much money. Or...or... I will give you 10 taels first, and I will give you some next year..."

Feng Jun grabbed Xue Muji's collar, "You are talking nonsense."

Xie Mu blurted out, "I'll pay it back. Princess, Man Xing is my cousin, and I'll pay him the money he owes."

Xue Muji said, "The Marquis of Pingjiang is not short of this little money, but Brother Manxing insisted on paying it back, and told me that his family's property is not much, and the money is not rich, but he has a peerless sword in his family. Pan Yun. He knows that I like to collect swords, so he is willing to give me the sword."

Neither Feng Jun nor Xie Mu knew what Pan Yunjian was.Xie Sulian bit her lip, "Your brother really said that? I can't decide this matter. The sword was left to my brother by my mother. I need to ask my father what he means..."

"Don't ask, I'm the master, I can't give it to you! The Panyun Sword belongs to the royal family. It is the saber used by the ancestor emperor to fight the country. It has been passed down from generation to generation and passed down to Princess Qi'an. The masters among them are all heroic and heroic. Who knew that a generation would be shelved and owned by people like Xie Manxing? No matter what, the Panyun Sword must not be left in the hands of foreigners."

Several people turned their heads, and Shen Chu and Lu Qian were standing in the corridor outside the pavilion.

Xie Sulian looked at Shen Chu and Lu Qian, and suddenly shut up and stopped talking.

Lu Qian stared at Xue Muji for a while, and said, "Senior Xue, it's getting late, please go back. And you too, where should you go. Don't pester Sister Lian, Sister Lian will stay at my house tonight."

Xue Mu was extremely surprised, and Lu Qian's words were strange. What do you mean by "a person like Xie Manxing?" No one knows better than Lu Qian why he became a playboy in his previous life.And sister, why do you care about Shen Chu and Lu Qian?Don't want to say more about thanking Man Xing?As if, deliberately concealing something.

The master issued an order to evict the guests, and Xue Muji and the two princes voluntarily left the Prince Regent's Mansion.Xue Muji got into the carriage, not far away when a white horse chased him.

Lu Xi jumped off the white horse and stopped Xue Muji's carriage. She had no gentleness just now. She stepped on the wood on the side of the carriage, pulled out the long sword at her waist, pointed into the carriage, and asked loudly, "Is Xue Muji right? ? Prince Pingjiang, Pingjiang... I don't care who you are. Tell me, where did you meet Xie Manxing?"

Xue Muji resisted silently, what is Lu Qian going to do, deliberately avoid Shen Chu, and force him to ask him about Xie Manxing's whereabouts?

"Don't tell me? I'll know if you don't tell me, because you're lying. Xie Manxing died a long time ago, in the West Wind Mountains, thousands of miles away from you in Pingjiang, and you can't get along. You said you met Xie Manxing, You can fool Sister Lian, but you can’t fool me! Those letters, the letters to Xie Xuan, did you imitate Xie Manxing? You asked Sister Lian for the Panyun Sword today, what is your plan! "

Xue Muji stared at Lu Qian for a while, and after a while, he asked lightly, "Have you read the letter? Can't you see what I have planned?"

"Okay, okay, I finally admit it." Lu Qian moved forward half an inch with her sword, and said, "Every letter is, my son is safe outside, don't read it, how can I see what is your plan?"

"I'm drawing, what am I drawing? Miss Lu, what I'm drawing is just to make Xie Consort and Princess Sulian think that Xie Manxing is still alive in this world, and to make them believe that my child is traveling far away and living a happy life. Free and easy, carefree life.”

Lu Qian's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, "I don't believe it. You are talking nonsense. You are here to threaten me, aren't you? You can tell me what you want me to do, as long as you hide Xie Manxing from Xifeng Mountain accident, I can promise you to do anything. Xue Muji, tell me, what do you want?"

Xue Muji didn't want to talk, he really couldn't say anything, he didn't dare to think about it, because no matter how he thought about it, the result would converge to the final point, on Xifeng Mountain, he was divided and died, Lu Qian knew Yes, Lu Qian chose to hide it for Shen Chu.

Lu Qian's sword didn't move away, Xue Muji suddenly leaned forward to face her neck, Lu Qian stopped her hand in fright, and still smeared a bloodstain.Lucy yelled, "Do you want to die?"

"I don't want to. I don't want to die. I don't want to. This is the last time I will appear in front of you and Shen Chu. Don't worry, I won't mention anything about Xie Manxing in front of anyone. I have peace for thousands of years Swear, if you break your oath, disaster will come from heaven, and Pingjiang will never be restored."

Xue Muji put down the curtain of the carriage, raised his fingers to wipe off the blood.

He suddenly wanted to laugh, he came all the way from Pingjiang, and there were many things to do, such as convincing the regent to choose a good son-in-law for his sister, but there was definitely one thing, he wanted to see Lu Qian's happiness with his own eyes.Even if the person Lu Qian likes is the person who killed him and betrayed him, he can bear the thought of revenge and say "Forget it, let's forget it!"

He didn't want to face it. In front of love, the friendship between him and Lucy's nursing baby would be so cheap.

His past life was like a joke, his most trusted friend betrayed him, and his most cherished friend also betrayed him.

Xue Muji returned to the hotel in a daze, he didn't even know the carriage stopped.

Xue Huaijiu was waiting for him at the door, it was the first time he and Fufeng Fuyun had seen Xue Muji like this.The pupils are like two deeply sunken black holes, without half the brilliance and agility.

"My lord, get off the carriage!"

"Oh." Xue Muji moved down mechanically, his footsteps were very soft, even uncontrollable, after two steps, his body seemed to be leaning forward.

It seemed that someone hugged him.So warm, so comfortable, so reassuring.

"Brother, I'm so tired."

Only the wind responded to him.

Xue Huaijiu carried him into the room, put him on the bed, took off his shoes, socks and outer robe, and then gently covered him with the quilt.
