The prince is hard to serve

Being grabbed by Yan Wenhao again, Mu Ziling couldn't help frowning slightly, and said displeasedly, "Your Highness, let me go."

Yan Wenhao didn't let go as he said, but gripped even tighter: "...you can't let go, let go and you're gone." There was a little grievance in his tone.

He glanced at Yan Wenhao with a complicated expression, and then sighed softly. Mu Ziling no longer insisted on pulling his hand away, but in this posture, he said slowly: "I won't leave, don't worry, Your Highness." .”

After hearing this, Yan Wenhao was overjoyed, and then realized that Mu Ziling was only talking about the present and not the future, so his mood fell to the bottom all of a sudden, and his eyes dimmed.

Reluctantly letting go of Mu Ziling's hand, Yan Wenhao was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, he apologized again: "Humble, I'm sorry..."

This kind of apology seems to have become a habit for Yan Wenhao.

In the past, whenever Yan Wenhao apologized, Mu Ziling never gave him any response, but used silence to express his attitude. However, this time, Mu Ziling did not continue to avoid talking about it. up.

With lowered eyes, Mu Ziling stared at the white jade teacup in his hand for a long time. After a while, he slowly raised his head, looking straight into Yan Wenhao's eyes, and looked at each other with him. Everyone can clearly see the expression in each other's eyes.

Mu Ziling didn't speak in a hurry, but pondered for a while, carefully considering what he wanted to say, and then slowly opened his mouth after a cup of tea.

For the first time, he called out Yan Wenhao's name instead of a title of "His Royal Highness".

This time, Mu Ziling put Yan Wenhao and himself on an equal footing, instead of treating Yan Wenhao as a prince.

He said, "Yan Wenhao, I still can't convince myself to forgive you."

After a pause, Mu Ziling pursed his lips, and then continued, "But I can already understand you."

After these days of silence and thinking, Mu Ziling was able to let go, but he still couldn't forgive.

——He can't forgive, the person he likes is a person who calculated himself from the beginning to the end and deceived himself.

Perhaps it was because he also had a deep hatred for Xu Ziqi in his heart, so after calming down for a while, Mu Ziling began to try to think differently, and then look at it again. For him, it was something that he could never let go of. .

Then, he discovered that what he couldn't let go of all the time, in the final analysis, was just his own affection and falling in love with Yan Wenhao, not the matter itself.

From Yan Wenhao's standpoint and point of view, he was just an insignificant stranger at the time, and the hatred he had been tortured by poison for many years, the blood feud of his closest relatives, and the supreme right...all of these would obviously be Much more important than a stranger.

What's more, Yan Wenhao is the prince, he is high above the ground, he is used to giving orders, and he was born in the palace since he was a child, no matter whether it is unintentional or deliberate, he cannot avoid being influenced by what he sees and hears, to learn some methods and calculations, and to understand that they can help achieve the goal by oneself.

Therefore, whether it was the calculation and use of him at the beginning, or the temptation and deception later, it is understandable, because at that time, everything Yan Wenhao did was just for revenge, for that high position. ...

Hearing this, Yan Wenhao was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he shook his head, his eyes were a little moist, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Enough, that's enough."

Overjoyed, Yan Wenhao fixedly stared at Mu Ziling, his eyes were red, and he said seriously: "Mom and thank you..."

He finally waited until this day.

He never expected that Mu Ziling could forgive himself in such a short period of time, as long as Mu Ziling could let go and stop being depressed and hurting himself, it would be a great satisfaction to him.

As for the others, the future is very long, Yan Wenhao believes that one day, he will be able to regain Mu Ziling's trust, and then re-enter his heart.

For this thank you, Mu Ziling's reaction was very light. He shook his head lightly, and then said indifferently: "Today, I should thank you."

If Yan Wenhao hadn't arrived in time just now, maybe Yan Wenyuan would have done more excessive things to him. Their identities are always different, one is the prince, and the other is the unpopular concubine. He can't fight back, otherwise When the trouble came to Emperor Yan, it was clear at a glance which was more serious.

From the beginning to the end, he just wanted to live quietly in this palace, and he didn't want to get involved in any party disputes until he left.

Regarding Mu Ziling's slightly alienated attitude, Yan Wenhao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He waved his hand and said, "It's because of me that Brother Wu Huang bothered you, so you don't have to thank me for being humble."

After finishing speaking, Yan Wenhao lowered his head again and sighed softly at the same time: "We are husband and wife, we don't need to be so polite and alienated..."

Hearing this, Mu Ziling only moved his eyes slightly, but his face was still expressionless, and he didn't respond at all.

There is nothing more to say between the two.

Sensing the sudden silence, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Yan Wenhao's mouth. He was even a little at a loss, not knowing what to do.

They used to have endless topics and conversations, but now, they have nothing to say...

After being quiet for a long time, Yan Wenhao's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the dim sum on the low table. He immediately stretched out his hand, pushed the dim sum on the low table towards Mu Ziling, and poured it for him again. Drinking a cup of tea, he said: "Du Duo said that you went directly to Cang Shu Ge this morning without breakfast. It's almost noon, you must be hungry. This is your favorite snack that I specially asked Fu Quan to prepare. , pad your stomach first."

When he spoke, in that slightly uplifted tone, there was still a hint of seeking praise and a little hope.

Hearing the sound, Mu Ziling turned his head and looked at Yan Wenhao. When he saw Yan Wenhao's worried eyes, as well as the helpless and bewildered eyes hidden in the deepest part, his expression changed, and then his heart skipped a beat. After a while, he smiled slightly at Yan Wenhao, and then nodded again.

He knew that Yan Wenhao didn't want to keep each other silent and the atmosphere would become awkward.

Lowering his head, he picked up a piece of pastry, and after taking a small bite, Mu Ziling said softly, "Thank you." With this sound, his expression softened a lot, and he was no longer so calm.

There was a real smile in his eyes.

After catching the flashing smile in Mu Ziling's eyes, Yan Wenhao couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, and unconsciously, he showed a silly smile, which reached the back of his ears, full of naivety.

※※※

Time is like running water, and it is gone in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

Since that day, when Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling made things clear and clear, Mu Ziling will no longer avoid Yan Wenhao, but the relationship between them will never return. Once upon a time.

These days, Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling would still sit in the gazebo on the lotus pond every day, playing chess and chess, as if nothing had happened, but there was no tacit understanding between them.

When playing chess, you can no longer find the excitement and satisfaction of meeting your opponent.

Although Mu Ziling had let go, there was still a grudge buried deep in his heart, which could not be covered up no matter what.

Probably can only gradually forget it as time goes by.

Another few days passed.

On this day, when Mu Ziling left from Zangshu Pavilion, he was followed by a little tail with a vigilant expression on his face. If he hadn't been watched by Duo Duo, he would have disappeared immediately.

Although Yan Wensi is only five years old, he has been bullied since he was a child, and he is best at escaping. He is very familiar with the terrain in the palace, and his skills are also very flexible. , so Duo Duo had no choice but to focus on him without being distracted for a moment.

Yan Wenhao had already returned from court, and was sitting in the main hall talking with Xie Jingyu at this time. Hearing Fuquan's report, his eyes lit up instantly, and then gave Xie Jingyu a casual look, and straightened his sleeves , stood up and walked out.

When he saw Yan Wensi following behind Mu Ziling, he was puzzled for a moment, and then asked, "Qian He, why are you with Brother Nine Emperors?"

After Yan Wensi's mother and concubine were demoted to the cold palace, Yan Wenhao once broke into the cold palace by accident while practicing kung fu and met her once.

At that time, she was already seven or eight months pregnant, her physical condition was very poor, her face was as pale as paper, and she was very thin, but when she stroked her belly, her eyes were full of happiness and anticipation, and there was something in her. The gentle and quiet temperament is somewhat similar to Empress Zhuang, which made Yan Wenhao feel a little compassion for her.

So later, Yan Wenhao gave her a plant of thousand-year-old ginseng bestowed on him by Emperor Yan at that time. give birth.

Stopping, Mu Ziling turned around, waved to Yan Wensi, motioning Yan Wensi to come to his side, but Yan Wensi did not ignore Mu Ziling, but continued to stand motionless , a pair of big eyes are full of vigilance.

Shaking his head and sighing, a trace of pity and distress flashed in Mu Ziling's eyes. He turned his head, looked at Yan Wenhao, and replied softly: "I saw His Highness Jiu was covered with scars, so I brought him back. I want Imperial Physician Pei to take a look at it for him."

When I saw Yan Wensi in Zangshu Pavilion, Yan Wensi had new wounds on his body. There were welts on his old clothes, and there were bruises and clear palm marks on his small face. .

He really couldn't think of who could put such a heavy hand on a young boy who was less than six years old.

Hearing this, Yan Wenhao turned his gaze to Yan Wensi, and couldn't help frowning when he saw Yan Wensi who was covered in scars, stared at him vigilantly, and looked a little embarrassed.

Raising his hand, he summoned a little eunuch, and told him to find Imperial Physician Pei quickly, and then Yan Wenhao looked away, turned his head and said softly to Mu Ziling: "Let's go in first, Imperial Physician Pei will come soon." of."

"it is good."

In response, Mu Ziling walked back a few steps, came to Yan Wensi's side, ignored Yan Wensi's objection, gently took his hand, and led him in together.

Being held by someone other than the old palace lady for the first time, Yan Wensi tilted his head, hesitated for a while, and felt that it felt pretty good, so he didn't try to break free and let this person hold him.

And behind them, Yan Wenhao's eyes were always on the hands they were holding, his eyes were deep, like a bottomless cold pool.

At the same time, it took him a lot of effort to restrain himself from rushing forward to separate them.

In Yan Wenhao's heart, Mu Ziling is only for him. Even if Mu Ziling is only holding the hand of a five-year-old child at this time, he will still be extremely jealous and want to rush forward , to separate them.
