After being married by the emperor

Mu Qingcheng decided not to think about it. After sleeping until now, he was a little hungry, and his stomach could not help but growl. It sounded very clear in the quiet room with only two people.

There was a moment of silence in the atmosphere.

After a while, there was a chuckle in the room.

Mu Qingcheng's face flushed slightly, he glared at He Nanchao, and said, "What are you laughing at? Isn't it human nature to be so hungry that your stomach growls? I don't believe you have never been so hungry."

He Nanchao had a smile on his lips and raised the tails of his eyes slightly. He got out of bed first and went out to confess to Liu Yi, and told him to go to the kitchen and ask someone to make some Mu Qingcheng's favorite food.

Liu Yi has been with Mu Qingcheng for so many years, so he naturally knows what his master likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat.

After ordering Liuyi, He Nanchao closed the door, went back to the bed, and hugged Mu Qingcheng, who was half dressed, into his arms again.

Mu Qingcheng had just struggled a few times, when he heard He Nanchao speak, he calmed down and listened carefully.

"Naturally, there was a state of hunger, and it was much more serious than Madam." The smile on He Nanchao's face was slightly restrained, and the tone slowly brought up a past event: "During the war, because of a misjudgment, I accidentally We were lured into the desert by the enemy, and then the sandstorm suddenly hit us, causing us heavy losses, and the soldiers who were already injured were even more seriously injured, so we were trapped in the desert."

"Trapped in the desert? Then what happened? How did you leave the desert?" Mu Qingcheng was startled. Although he had never been to the desert, he had heard some desert rumors.

The desert is a very dangerous place, and it will be even more dangerous if there is a sandstorm. In addition, He Nanchao and the others were injured, so it is really difficult to escape from the dangerous place of the desert.

He Nanchao said: "At that time, I never thought that we would be trapped in the desert. Naturally, we didn't bring food. The only thing we brought was water, but it wasn't much. We couldn't last long. Looking for the way back in the desert, the water was dried up, and everyone's skin was sunburned by the scorching sun. In the end, some soldiers couldn't hold on anymore and had to quench their thirst with urine. At the end of their lives, everyone When we fell into despair, Chu Zhuan showed up with reinforcements, and we were finally saved."

Mu Qingcheng heard what He Nanchao said lightly, as if he was talking about a very common thing, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. .

They were all reduced to drinking urine to quench their thirst. How bad the situation was at that time. If they were not on the verge of death, if they were not in a desperate situation, no one would make this choice.

There was a flash of distress in Mu Qingcheng's eyes, but he thought about it carefully, and asked another question: "But aren't you the invincible God of War? How could you make such a mistake? I haven't heard of this in the capital either." matter."

He Nanchao sighed lightly and said, "Because I was only 17 years old at that time."

Mu Qingcheng's eyes widened, and she said in surprise, "So young?!"

He Nanchao nodded, and said: "It's because he was young that he was a little frivolous, which almost caused a big mistake and almost wiped out the whole army."

Mu Qingcheng pursed his lips. When He Nanchao was 17 years old, he seemed to be...eight years old. When he and Li Yangxi were quarreling over a bunch of candied haws, He Nanchao had already led troops to fight on the battlefield.

Others thought that He Nanchao was very powerful, and envied him for being able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy at a young age, and to be named a first-rank general at a young age.

But who knows the hardships involved, Mu Qingcheng began to feel sorry for He Nanchao, especially when he saw that there were still a few shallow long scars on the wheat-colored chest, the distress on his face became more obvious.

Mu Qingcheng covered the scar with her fingers, rubbed it lightly twice, then raised her eyes to look at He Nanchao, and asked, "Is this the scar left from the war?"

He Nanchao nodded again, and said: "Well, it's just an old injury from before. At that time, the border was chaotic and there were many wars. I was young and had a hot temper, so I suffered a lot of injuries. But it's been a long time. The scars are slowly fading, only a few deep wounds still have traces, does Madam feel sorry for me?"

While speaking, his hand suddenly pinched Mu Qingcheng's chin, lowered his head and kissed the corner of his lips.

This time Mu Qingcheng did not dodge, with a slightly shy expression on his face, he whispered: "Even if you are not married to me, but you are just a general who has nothing to do with me, when I see these scars, I will feel distressed, but I don't Other meanings are just literal meanings, so...don't think too much about it."

He Nanchao pursed his lips and said with a smile: "An explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth. The more Madam defends herself, the more she wants to cover up."

Mu Qingcheng opened her mouth: "I..."

He Nanchao interrupted him, and continued: "So madam, you love me. Don't worry, madam, the border has been calm in recent years, and I am no longer the brat I used to be. No one will hurt me again. gone."

Mu Qingcheng pursed her lips, then patted off the hand above her chin, turned her face and lowered her eyes and said, "Anyway, I let you say everything, and I have nothing to say."

He Nanchao raised the corners of his lips, and hugged the person in his arms a little tighter. He suddenly remembered Peng Yiliang. After returning from Huhe Road that day, besides the sneak attack, he also asked Tang Xingshi to investigate Peng Yiliang and Mu Qingcheng. things in between.

The matter between the two was very simple, and it was found out without much effort. It was nothing more than Peng Yiliang's love for Qingcheng for a long time, and he often invited Mu Qingcheng out for various reasons.

They were all rejected in the end, but Peng Yiliang did not give up, and continued to invite Mu Qingcheng out, until one time he said that this was the last invitation, and he hoped that Mu Qingcheng would accept his invitation no matter what.

Mu Qingcheng thought that since it was the last time, he agreed. He went to the appointment alone, and Li Yangxi and Bai Shuimo were not accompanied.

Where the two of them went that day, and when exactly what happened, no one knew, only that Peng Yiliang wanted to bully Mu Qingcheng, and seemed to have done something very rude, causing Mu Qingcheng to have a high fever for several days.

The Mu family was also very angry, and they directly made a fuss in front of the emperor. In the end, Peng Taifu and his wife tied up Peng Yiliang and escorted him to the prime minister's residence to apologize, and the matter subsided.

But no one knows what happened that day. Anyway, it must be more than just bullying on the surface.

He Nanchao wanted to know very much, so he asked tentatively: "Madam, I have a question to ask you."

Mu Qingcheng was taken aback, surprised by He Nanchao's sudden seriousness, he said, "What's the problem?"

He Nanchao said: "Back then...what did Peng Yiliang do to you?"

Upon hearing this name, Mu Qingcheng's expression instantly sank, and even his eyes dimmed.

After being silent for a long time, Mu Qingcheng slowly opened his mouth and said, "Can I not ask about this? I don't want to recall what happened that day."

"But if you don't say it, it will remain in your heart forever, and you will never be able to let it go, and you will never be able to forget it." He Nanchao held half of Mu Qingcheng's cheek with one hand, his deep eyes were full of tenderness, he Wen Sheng said: "You tell it, just tell it to me, and I won't let others know. If you tell it, you will feel much more comfortable in your heart."

Mu Qingcheng lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, He Nanchao was right, he was really brooding over that matter, even now he still has psychological shadows.

Li Yangxi and Bai Shuimo also asked him many times, but he didn't want to say anything because he didn't want to recall what happened that day.

But now He Nanchao's gentle eyes and gentle voice seemed to be soft all over him, enveloping him, gradually relaxing his body and mind, and slowly revealing his thoughts.

Mu Qingcheng gently parted her red lips, and said slowly: "That day Peng Yiliang invited me to go out for an outing, and it was also an outing, and the place I went... was also a lake and river."

He Nanchao: "..."

It so happens that it is also a lake and river, no wonder Mu Qingcheng's expression was a little unnatural that day.

"I went with Liu that day, but then the people around Peng Yiliang took Liu Yi away, and then he led me to a small bamboo house." Mu Qingcheng continued with a heavy expression, "He said he entered the house Talk, I was vigilant at the time and didn't go in directly, then Peng Yiliang said that he wouldn't do anything, and he didn't dare to do anything, but he was tired and wanted to go in and rest."

"And then?" He Nanchao asked, "Did Madam go in?"

Mu Qingcheng nodded and said: "I went in, I thought my father was the prime minister, and my grandfather was the Duke of the state, even if he had the heart, he would not have the guts, but I never thought that Peng Yiliang was really daring, he actually wanted to force ...forcibly took my body, and he said that if the raw rice was cooked, I would have no way to refuse him, and in the end I could only marry him."

Hearing this, He Nanchao's face was extremely ugly, his eyes were gloomy and terrifying, like a violent storm.

Mu Qingcheng was taken aback by this look, and he continued to talk about Peng Yiliang, "Of course I refused, struggling desperately, but Peng Yiliang is not only older than me, but also much stronger than me, and he also I put something in the water I drank before, the effect is much stronger than that of the wine, and then..."

He Nanchao didn't speak, his brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes showed a murderous look, his face was frosty, "Then what?"

"Then I felt more and more uncomfortable physically, and I was terrified in my heart. I was afraid that I would really be bullied by Peng Yiliang..." Mu Qingcheng's eyes showed a trace of timidity, and when he thought of what happened that day, he was terrified. No way, the voice is trembling.

"Fortunately, Liu Yi appeared in time. He was very smart. He was worried about what Peng Yiliang would do to me, so he fooled the person who sent him away, and then rushed over to the bamboo house. When he saw Peng Yiliang pressing on me Without hesitation, he picked up the wooden stick at the door and smashed it at Peng Yiliang, he smashed it several times in one breath, and didn't stop until he knocked people unconscious."

"I was in a very bad condition at the time. I couldn't just go home like that. Even if I went home, I couldn't last that long. So I saw a small stream nearby, so I decided to soak in it for a while. It was late autumn and the water in the stream was cold. It was so cold, I felt that I was not so uncomfortable, so I let Liuyi pull me ashore, but I passed out as soon as I got home, and then I was in a coma for several days with a high fever. After I woke up, the matter completely subsided ."

Taifu Peng and his wife both came to apologize in person, and they both knelt down to beg for forgiveness. Peng Yiliang was also beaten and bruised all over his body and was punished.

The reason why the Mu family forgave Peng Yiliang for the sake of Taifu Peng and his wife was because Mu Qingcheng finally recovered from his fever, otherwise, even if Taifu Peng pleaded for mercy, they would not let Peng Yiliang go so easily.

After Mu Qingcheng finished speaking, he found that He Nanchao didn't say a word, but just looked at him with deep eyes, the silence was terrible.

He was about to ask, when He Nanchao suddenly hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to rub him into his body.

Mu Qingcheng asked in a daze: "He Nanchao, what's the matter with you?"

He Nanchao rested his chin on Mu Qingcheng's shoulder, his expression was heavy, and he felt very sorry for the person in his arms.

Such a young man with delicate skin, tender flesh, and expensive body, has encountered such a thing, and is still soaking in the cold stream water.

Now he feels that the lesson given to Peng Yiliang was too light, and he will never spare that bastard easily!

He Nanchao hugged him for about half a quarter of an hour before letting him go. His hands covered Mu Qingcheng's small face.

She suppressed the distress in her eyes, and said extremely gently: "With me in the future, I will definitely protect my wife, even if I risk my life, I will not hesitate."
