The prince is hard to serve

After nightfall, the moon star is sparse, and the faint moonlight covers the earth, illuminating the entire night and dispelling the endless darkness.

After dinner, Mu Ziling went back to Wenqian Garden first, and went up to the third floor by himself.

Sitting quietly in the pavilion with a blank expression, Mu Ziling was staring at the lyre placed in front of him in a daze. Although his fingers were on the strings, he did not pluck the strings, but just let them go.

When Yan Wenhao came up, what he saw was Mu Ziling's dazed appearance. Under the faint moonlight, he seemed to be covered with a layer of tulle, like a dream, as if the next moment, will go with the wind.

He quickly walked to Mu Ziling's side and sat down. Yan Wenhao took his hand on the qin into his own, and bowed his head to kiss the kiss. Only then did he feel real. After that, he called Mu Ziling gently. Zi Ling said, "Modest."

Hearing the sound, Mu Ziling came back to his senses, turned his head to look at him, smiled at him naturally, and asked, "Why did you come up, General Xie, he left?"

Lips hooked into a smile, Yan Wenhao shook his head lightly, and told him: "Jing Yu hasn't left yet, but we've finished talking about what we want to talk about, and now he's probably going to find Ah Lin."

Hearing this, Mu Ziling laughed, and he said: "General Xie is a sweetheart, it is Ah Lin's blessing to meet him."

Laughing softly, Yan Wenhao didn't continue this topic, but paused for a while, and then asked concerned: "You were in a daze just now, but you were thinking about Miss Su?"

Without hiding him, Mu Ziling nodded and admitted directly: "I was thinking about her." After a pause, he added: "Actually, I was thinking about my uncle, and I was also thinking about this The last time we went to patrol the south of the Yangtze River, today's chess words made me a little worried."

He hugged Mu Ziling's waist from behind, leaned over and hugged him, so that Mu Ziling could lean into his arms, then Yan Wenhao lowered his head again and said to him softly: "Humble you No need to think too much, and no need to worry, I will protect you no matter what, and when we get to Jiangnan, we will be able to find out everything, your uncle and his family will not die in vain."

Relaxing his body and letting himself lean into Yan Wenhao's arms, Mu Ziling nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Well, I believe you." After a while, he remembered something again, turned his head and asked He said: "By the way, what is in the box she gave you just now? Why is Shibuyuan so nervous about it? Even at the expense of..."

Putting away the smile on his face, Yan Wenhao became serious in an instant. He pondered for a while, and told Mu Ziling, "This box is not from the Central Plains. If I remember the sign correctly, it is It must have come from the Huns, with the emblem of the Huns royal family engraved on it."

As he spoke, he took out the box, pointed to the logo engraved on the upper left corner, and asked, "That's it, Qianhe, do you recognize this logo?"

Following his fingers, Mu Ziling looked at the pattern carefully, and after recognizing it, he frowned, nodded and said, "This is indeed the symbol of the Huns royal family. I have seen it in books before." of."

Putting the box away again, Yan Wenhao continued in a deep voice: "I opened it before, and this box contains a dragon-shaped jade pendant with the surname of the Huns royal family engraved on it. I think this jade pendant should be It was the same token they made with Shi Buyuan. Shi Buyuan was so nervous about this box that he even killed your uncle's family. Perhaps it was for this reason that he was afraid that he would be found colluding with the Huns before he was ready. "

With a sullen face, Mu Ziling's expression was very ugly. He thought about it quietly for a while, then suddenly remembered something, sat up straight again, looked sideways at Yan Wenhao, and said worriedly: "Shi Bu is a man with a heart." Vicious, but now it has reached the point of lawlessness, Qiyu, she wandered outside the prince's mansion for a long time without any disguise today, and even chased the Fourth Highness all the way, I am afraid she has already exposed her whereabouts."

Pursing his lips, Mu Ziling's expression flashed a little worried, and he continued: "I think Shi Buyuan probably already knows that the chess language is in our mansion, and seeing that we are still there tonight, he may not dare to act rashly, but Once we leave the capital tomorrow and find an opportunity for him, I'm afraid we will immediately send killers to sneak into the mansion to kill Qiyu..."

"Modest."

Interrupting his words, Yan Wenhao watched him tenderly for a while, then patted his hand lightly, pulled him back into his arms, then kissed the tip of his hair, slowly Said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will send someone to send Miss Su to the fourth brother tomorrow, and the fourth brother will protect her well, and I have already written the matter in detail in the memorial to the father, and I also ask him to send People will protect Miss Su, she will be fine, don't worry."

His heart softened, and Mu Ziling breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned back into Yan Wenhao's arms, curled the corners of his lips, and said warmly, "Wen Hao, thank you."

He cupped Mu Ziling's face and kissed his lips. After letting him go, Yan Wenhao nodded his nose affectionately, and said with a smile: "If you really want to thank me, you can kiss me." How about once?"

"..."

Unexpectedly, Yan Wenhao would make such a request, Mu Ziling raised his eyes and glared at him, then buried his head again, a shyness flashed across his face.

Looking at the appearance of the person in his arms with a smile, Yan Wenhao couldn't help exerting force on his hands, and hugged him a little tighter.

After staring obsessively for a while, Yan Wenhao couldn't bear to look away. After a while, he suddenly thought of something interesting, and an obvious smile flashed across his eyes. He whispered in his ear: "Qian He feels that the thank you I want is very embarrassing?"

Hearing this, Mu Ziling lowered his head even more, and his fair ears were also stained a little crimson.

"Okay, I was actually just joking with Qian." With a chuckle, Yan Wenhao turned his head and glanced at the lyre placed on the table again. He thought for a while and said softly: "Qian and play a song for me Come on, I haven't heard your piano music for a long time, and now I miss it very much."

Slowly raising his head, Mu Ziling was about to look at Yan Wenhao, but when he raised his eyes, he met the tenderness and smile in Yan Wenhao's eyes, and couldn't help being startled for a moment. He also bent the corners of his mouth towards Yan Wenhao and laughed.

Withdrew from Yan Wenhao's arms, Mu Ziling sat up straight, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened them again quickly, and then moved his fingers, and a brisk piano sound came from his fingers The tip flowed out, cut through the silent night, and spread far away.

With the incomparably melodious sound of the piano in his ears, and the person he cherishes and loves the most sitting in front of him, for Yan Wenhao, it really feels like a bit of quiet time.

He stared intently at Mu Ziling who was playing seriously in front of him, with deep affection and tenderness hidden in his eyes, which were already full and about to pour out.

Noticing Yan Wenhao's extremely fiery eyes, Mu Ziling's cheeks were a little flushed, but occasionally he would raise his head to give him a smile, and his expression was full of sincere joy.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the two is warm and beautiful.

That night, the sound of the piano in the Prince's Mansion rang for a long time, and it didn't quiet down until late at night.

The next day, after breakfast, Yan Wenhao prepared to have someone send Su Qiyu to the fourth prince's mansion so that Yan Wenjin could protect her.

And Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling will leave the capital before noon. After they leave the city, they will quietly disperse into two teams on the way. One team will be led by Fuquan to go to Huguo Temple, and continue to make false appearances. , the other team, Yan Wenhao, Mu Ziling and Duan Duan Alin, went to Wulipo and Xie Jingyu to reconcile, and went to Jiangnan for a private visit together.

Carefully explained some words to Su Qiyu, telling her to pay attention to her own safety, not to leave Yan Wenjin's side alone, not to trust others, if there is danger, go to Yan Wenjin and so on.

After finishing all these, Mu Ziling had no words, and fell silent abruptly. In fact, he still had something to say in his heart, but every time the words came to his lips, he found that he didn't know what to say. Su Although Qiyu is his cousin, they met for the first time yesterday, and they have never been in contact with each other before, so they are still not very familiar after all.

In the end, he just comforted her softly and said: "Uncle will never die in vain, Shi Buyuan will definitely pay the due price, so you can wait in peace at the residence of the Fourth Highness."

After a slight nod, Su Qiyu lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Yes, I know." After thinking about it, she added: "Thank you."

After Su Qiyu heard that Mu Ziling was his cousin yesterday, he froze on the spot. It took him a while to recover, but he thought he was dreaming and pinched himself many times. She finally believed it.

But after all, she and Mu Ziling are still strangers and have never been in contact with each other. What's more, she once thought that she had no other relatives in this world, and now she suddenly has a cousin, which makes her very uncomfortable. I thought about it all night last night, and I was always depressed, but after listening to the sound of the piano, I finally figured it out, but at this moment, I suddenly returned to the original place, and I was so embarrassed that I didn't know what to say. .

Standing on one side, Yan Wenhao looked at Mu Ziling, saw the look in his eyes, reached out and took his hand, and broke their silence with a word, "It's getting late, Miss Su should It's time to go."

"Okay." In response, Su Qiyu turned his head and nodded to Mu Ziling, then got into the carriage and was escorted to Yan Wenjin's residence by the people sent by Yan Wenhao.

Not long after Su Qiyu left, Fuquan trotted into Wenqian Garden with his round belly in his hands. When he came in front of Yan Wenhao, he bowed and reported: "Your Highness, Imperial Concubine, His Majesty sent The ceremonial officials have already arrived outside the gate, and it is time for you to go to Huguo Temple."

Slightly nodding his head, Yan Wenhao looked calm, and said to Fuquan, "Well, since that's the case, let's go."

"Yes."

Fuquan took the order to retreat, and after that, Yan Wenhao turned his head and smiled with Mu Ziling, then asked him softly, "Qian He, are you ready?"

Raising his head, Mu Ziling looked back at him with a calm and serious expression, and he said, "I'm ready."

He was ready a long time ago.
