Confused the world

After Li Yan left, only Huangfu Jingyan and Mu Qingcheng were left in the inner room.When Dong Xue and the others saw the situation, they all retreated.

Night had fallen, and the sky outside Sydney Palace was shrouded in darkness.Because the dark clouds overwhelmed the stars, this dark night was even more frightening.

The candles in the hall flickered occasionally, and the bright candlelight swept across the faces of the two of them.The momentary silence made the atmosphere in the entire inner room even more awkward.

"Cheng'er, your health is not good, why didn't you tell me?"

Huangfu Jingyan couldn't help but opened his mouth, not to blame her, but as her nominal "husband", he had the responsibility to take good care of her.What's more, she is his favorite woman.

"It's okay, Your Majesty doesn't need to blame himself, it's just a minor problem."

Mu Qingcheng leaned on the pillow, looked at Huangfu Jingyan's self-blaming eyes, and smiled slightly to make her feel relieved.

"Is it still a small problem to sleep like this for a day?"

Holding her cold hands tightly, I feel even more uncomfortable. Why is it that it is summer, but her hands can't be warmed.When you sleep at night, so does your body.If he didn't hear the sound of breathing, he would be really afraid that she would leave him.

"Your Majesty, you just need to get used to it. There have been a lot of state affairs recently. I heard that King Ancheng and King Nan are reconciled as before. Are you planning to rebel?"

Even though he was bored in the palace every day, Mu Qingcheng was still able to know what was going on outside the palace.She never neglects any opportunity to obtain useful and valuable information.

"Well, King Yixin probably hinted at them. After all, they have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in their hands. Li Ao's persuading them is not good for us. But it might be better to do so."

In the past few days, because Huangfu Jingyan always reported the rebellion of the two princes, the atmosphere in the entire court was extremely severe.In particular, King Yixin was even more insane, wanting to conscript himself.

"Does Your Majesty want to conquest personally?"

Mu Qingcheng tugged on the brocade quilt with her hand, so that her body could get more warmth.King Yixin has been clamoring for His Majesty to personally conquer, and she knows this.But she doesn't know what His Majesty's attitude is.King Yixin wants to get rid of His Majesty through this matter, but is it really that simple?

If something happens to His Majesty's personal conquest, he will be most responsible for King Yixin. Does he still have a next move?

"Cheng'er wants me to go?"

Huangfu Jingyan could guess King Yixin's conspiracy, but even so, she was not the only one who could decide on the conquest.

If you conquer the court yourself, there must be someone to act as an agent, and there will be no second choice except King Yixin.

"Your Majesty thinks that you need to deal with them yourself? Haven't they rebelled? This is from someone else's mouth. There is no evidence. How can we go to the court? Even if there is evidence, there are so many people in the court, so no one can deal with them. ?”

Mu Qingcheng spoke softly, without any waves on her face.The corners of the mouth are slightly curved, and the face is as white as paper. It looks very weak, but the thinking is quick and clear.

"There is no one else in the court except King Xiao Wu. Many of those generals belong to King Yixin. Li Ao's military skills are very powerful. It is okay to send him, but he said yesterday that he was seriously injured and applied to recuperate at home."

Thinking of what happened in the court yesterday, I was very angry.That was clearly an attempt to escape responsibility.

"Isn't that good? If His Majesty's people go and defeat the two princes, they can get hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. Isn't that a good ending?"

"But I don't have such a powerful person in the court?"

Huangfu Jingyan had a bitter look on his face, if he had someone, would he still be afraid of King Yixin?I have endured humiliation for so many years just to expand my power, but those people have the ability but no military power.How to fight, let alone newcomers, have never even been to the battlefield.

"My concubine remembers that He Zizheng was the champion of martial arts last year. He is both civil and military. Although he is young, he is also a talent. His wife is also the daughter of the late general Lin Ran. When I am away, I often hear people say that there are women in the Lin family who are like men. , both civil and military, like Zhuge alive. You can send him there, and depending on his temperament, he will probably take his wife Lin Shuwei with him. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

"Cheng'er, you..."

Huangfu Jingyan looked at Mu Qingcheng dumbfounded, she didn't know that her woman was so powerful.He knows more than himself, and his wisdom is so great.

He Zizheng, I almost forgot about him.After winning the first prize, he applied to be a small county magistrate in Qingzhou. At that time, he asked him why he was so, and he said that it is not easy to be a magistrate of a county.The people in the world should put the people first, and seeking blessings for the people is the purpose of his examination.

A person who is not afraid of the powerful and has a deficit heart, I actually forgot about him, and I am even more ashamed when I think about it.

"Cheng'er, you are really my lucky star. You can think of this, but it's not easy to get him out of the mountain. At the beginning, he put himself in his hometown in Qingzhou, and he refused to be promoted many times. This time it is not easy."

He Zizheng's temperament is upright, but also particularly obstinate.He took the imperial examination mostly for his wife, and it was even more difficult for him to lead the army this time.

"What's the difficulty? His Majesty said in an imperial decree that it's enough to let him enter the palace. By the way, let him bring his wife. When the time comes, the concubine will find a way to let him lead the troops in person."

"What's the plan for Cheng'er?"

Looking at this haggard woman, Huangfu Jingyan felt a little distressed.Originally, I didn't want her to work hard, but now the situation is tense. If there is a war, only the common people will suffer. I can't bear it.

"He's here, His Majesty will know. He just wants to live the life of a wild crane. Maybe this is the arrogance of many ambitious people?"

When Mu Qingcheng was investigating He Zizheng, he was also impressed by his ambition.Maybe the two people have the same aspirations, they both like to travel in mountains and rivers, and occasionally encounter injustice and meddle in other people's business, so they can understand him better.

"Miss, it's time to drink the medicine."

Dong Xue came in with the medicine. Although she didn't want to disturb her, the medicine must never be stopped.

"I'll come."

Huangfu Jingyan took the medicine bowl, looking at the dark soup medicine, his heart was full of pain.After stopping the medicine for a long time, I started to drink it again.

Suddenly thinking of that rumor again made me feel even more uncomfortable.

Dongxue stood there, not knowing whether to leave or to stay. The young lady always wanted to eat candied fruit after drinking the medicine, didn't your Majesty know?According to Miss' temperament, she would not ask His Majesty to ask for it in person, as it would only make her feel embarrassed. In fact, Miss also has a proud side.

"Dongxue, bring the candied fruit here, Cheng'er drank the medicine, and after a while, it won't be bitter."

Looking at the medicine, Huangfu Jingyan also felt extremely painful.He glanced at Dongxue and asked her to get some candied fruit, so maybe this person would not feel bitter.

"promise."

Dong Xue responded with a smile on her face.

Huangfu Jingyan was curious, he just asked her to take candied fruit, why was she so happy?

Mu Qingcheng smiled secretly, she knew Dongxue would help her.

"Cheng'er, come and drink your medicine."

Huangfu Jingyan took the medicine and was about to feed it spoon by spoon.Although it was a good intention, how could Mu Qingcheng endure such suffering.Drinking medicine is torture for her, and she has to drink it spoon by spoon, which is worse than death.

"Your Majesty, please give the medicine to the concubine."

Mu Qingcheng smiled and stretched out her hand to fetch the medicine, but Huangfu Jingyan was very attentive and didn't give her the medicine.

"Cheng'er, let me feed you."

Mu Qingcheng stared for a while, feeling even more bitter, this is not porridge, can it be fed like this?

"Your Majesty, you'd better let the concubine come by herself."

Mu Qingcheng didn't care whether Huangfu Jingyan would give it or not, she reached out and grabbed the medicine bowl directly.She felt that if Huangfu Jingyan fed him spoonful by spoonful, she would go to see Yama first.

Huangfu Jingyan was a little surprised when the medicine bowl was taken away abruptly, and looked at Mu Qingcheng with some doubts in his blue eyes.She didn't know why this person wouldn't let her feed the medicine. Judging by the strength of her hand just now, she should have used a lot of strength.

Mu Qingcheng saw Dongxue coming, picked up the medicine bowl, and drank it down in one gulp.Dong Xue had sharp eyes and quick hands, and the moment she drank it, she immediately put the candied fruit into her mouth.

Mu Qingcheng stretched her neck, trying to swallow the bitter taste in her mouth.

Seeing Mu Qingcheng like that, what did Huangfu Jingyan seem to understand?Smiling slightly, suddenly felt that this somewhat wicked person also had something to fear.

Dongxue poured another glass of water for Mu Qingcheng to drink, then walked out with the medicine bowl in salute.

Looking at this series of actions, Huangfu Jingyan only felt that the cooperation between the master and servant was particularly tacit.I am even more impressed by Dongxue's carefulness.

"Has Dongxue followed Cheng'er all this time? It seems that she knows you very well."

"No, she has only been with Chen Qie for two years. She used to study medicine in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, and Murong sent her here because of Chen Qie's coming to the imperial capital."

Speaking of Dongxue, Mu Qingcheng suddenly thought of Murong Hanying again, and felt another pain in his heart.There is really no way to repay that person's kindness in this life.Even giving her a reason to love her is so hard.

"Really? Murong Hanying is really a very careful person."

Thinking of Murong Hanying, Huangfu Jingyan had mixed feelings in his heart.She knew that if one day Mu Qingcheng loved her, it would not be because of simply liking her, but because of Murong Hanying, and she suddenly felt a little desolate.For this woman, her own love is just a purpose, right?

"Maybe. No one can guess the affairs of the world. Living simply is a luxury."

The voice is a little sad, and it is more of a relief from all the situations in the world.But Huangfu Jingyan didn't like Mu Qingcheng like this. In her eyes, Mu Qingcheng should be someone who fought desperately for what she wanted.But since those days with her, she found that this woman can't love herself at all, and she doesn't know how to love herself. What's more, her expectations for life are really pitiful.

"Cheng'er, do you regret it? Come back with me."

Mu Qingcheng glanced sideways at Huangfu Jingyan, puzzled.

"What is the meaning of this, Your Majesty?"

"Do you really not regret leaving that person?"

Mu Qingcheng smiled softly, completely indifferent.

"Why regret it? Life is not for regretting. I know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. When making a choice, I never think about turning back. Is Your Majesty regretting it?"

regret?When he decided to push her away completely, he had already lost her, and he was not qualified to love her.Now I say I regret it, but in the end I still have to go this way, this is my fate.

It was the first time for Mu Qingcheng to accept her fate like this. In the past, she would just go with the flow and sometimes fight against the serious illness, but this time she gave up fighting and chose to accept her fate instead.

"No, if this is the only reason for you to come to me, why should I regret it. As long as you are by my side, I will be self-sufficient. I have lived like this once in my life, and I feel that everything is worth it. "

Huangfu Jingyan held Mu Qingcheng's skinny hands tightly, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, his face was no longer cold, but full of loving tenderness.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The corners of Mu Qingcheng's eyes were shrouded in hazy dampness, leaning forward to hug Huangfu Jingyan's neck, the emotions in his heart were complicated but sweet
