Ma'am, give me a baby

The next day, both of them got up a bit late, and Liu Shaochen was so tired after tossing and tossing for a long time the first night, he simply ate breakfast and sat on the warm bed to read.The past few days were really boring, because he was unwell, and Mo Ziqing didn't allow him to go out, not even the bedroom door, so he could only read books.

"...I have to go to the palace in the afternoon." Mo Ziqing peeled an orange and fed it to Liu Shaochen, hesitating for a long time before speaking.

"Huh? Go again?" Liu Shaochen was eating sweet oranges, but he still had to ask, "Wasn't yesterday the emperor's birthday banquet? What are you going to do today?"

"...I should have something to talk about." Mo Ziqing also took off his boots and got on the bed, hugging him into his arms, "I'll be back before dinner, you have to wait for me."

Liu Shaochen nodded, "Waiting for you to eat together."

Mo Ziqing kissed the top of his hair, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

In the afternoon, Mo Ziqing followed Mo Li into the palace. Liu Shaochen was bored in the house. An hour after Mo Ziqing left, an acquaintance came to the house.

Le An hurried in, and said to Liu Shaochen who was still sitting on the bed: "Madam, Mr. Mu is here."

"Mr. Mu?" Liu Shaochen suddenly remembered that he had been in the capital for a while, and he had never heard anything about Mu Yang except after meeting him in Jiumanlou that day.

Quickly put on the clothes for meeting guests, and then followed Le An to the living room.

In the huge living room, Mu Yang was sitting quietly drinking tea, when he saw Liu Shaochen coming in, he immediately stood up and greeted him, "Young minister."

"Young Master Mu." Liu Shaochen bowed his hands and bowed to him, smiling and asking him to sit down.

Mu Yang looked at the person opposite, he didn't know what to say for a while, even the hands hidden in the wide sleeves were trembling slightly, he was nervous.

"Mr. Mu, it's really a coincidence that Ziqing is not at the mansion today due to business." Liu Shaochen didn't react at all, he just felt very happy to see an acquaintance.

"No... I heard that you are not feeling well, so I just came to see you..." Mu Yang pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, "How are you?"

Liu Shaochen smiled, "It's nothing, it's just an old illness."

"Old disease?" Mu Yang frowned slightly, "The root cause of the disease from the past?"

He didn't want to tell others about his condition, especially Mu Yang, if he did, it would only make him worry, Liu Shaochen waved his hand indifferently, "It doesn't matter, I'm much better after drinking the medicine."

"Yes, is it..." Mu Yang slightly pursed the corners of his lips, and suddenly fell silent.

Today's Mu Yang is very strange, seeing that he is silent, Liu Shaochen doesn't know what to say.

After a while, Mu Yang suddenly said: "Ziqing went to the palace?"

"Huh? Ah... yes, he said that the emperor called him for something." Liu Shaochen nodded, telling the truth, thinking that it seems that Mu Yang came to find Ziqing, and quickly said: "Mr. Mu, if you are not in a hurry, you can When Ziqing came back, he said before dinner..."

"Do you know what the emperor asked him to do in the capital?" Mu Yang interrupted him, looking up at Liu Shaochen.

Liu Shaochen was stunned for a moment, "The emperor... asked him to come to the capital?"

"Do you know that the emperor is going to choose a son-in-law for the ten princesses?" Without answering his words, Mu Yang asked him another question.

"..." Liu Shaochen had a bad premonition in his heart. When he was eating at the restaurant that day, he seemed to have heard about this incident...but...how could it be related to Ziqing?Moreover, Ziqing never told him such a thing...

Seeing that he suddenly became flustered, Mu Yang asked again, "Didn't Ziqing tell you about the palace banquet yesterday?"

"...What?" Liu Shaochen clutched his sleeves unconsciously, he looked at Mu Yang nervously, wanting to know what he said, but he didn't dare to hear some bad words.

Mu Yang stopped talking, he lowered his head to play with a piece of jade pendant in his hand, obviously he didn't want to answer his question.

Liu Shaochen stared at him for a while, then turned his head and asked Le'an beside him with a trembling voice, "Le'an, did the young master say anything about it?"

He was insane. How could Le An know something that even he didn't know?

"Slave, I don't know." Le An shook his head, seeing his anxious appearance, he hurriedly persuaded him: "Madam, don't be in a hurry, maybe the emperor summoned the young master for this matter."

Liu Shaochen thought about it, and he also felt that it was the case. After all, if such a thing happened, Ziqing would definitely tell him, definitely...

Suddenly, Liu Shaochen remembered that there was indeed something wrong with Mo Ziqing last night. Not only last night, after coming to the capital, he felt that Mo Ziqing was sometimes weird. When he asked him what was wrong, he also vaguely refused to tell himself. ...

"...Young minister," Mu Yang suddenly called him, and when Liu Shaochen looked over, he hesitated and said, "I thought he told you that he was going to be a son-in-law."
