cool night

This road became more and more secluded, and passed a forest, which was rarely visited by people.

Mu Chenling led him forward slowly, and stopped in front of a mound.

"Bai Feng, come here," Mu Chenling said softly, "Come here...to meet my concubine mother."

Bai Feng was taken aback, and looked at the small mound in disbelief.

He knew Concubine Yan.

She was originally the first princess of Yan Kingdom, and she was very favored.Later, the Kingdom of Yan was destroyed, and the princess who had just reached Ji asked for a marriage marriage, and saved the lives of the entire clan by herself.

A strange woman praised by the world, after her death...is this the scene?

Bai Feng also vaguely knew that Concubine Yan was bestowed to death by the late emperor for murdering the emperor's heir, but he didn't know that the situation was so miserable.

Bai Feng couldn't bear it, and took a step forward to kneel, but was stopped by Mu Chenling.

"Kneeling what is she doing..." Mu Chenling was depressed in his heart, but he didn't want to show it on his face, "I am, I will show you."

Mu Chenling knelt down to clean up the weeds beside him, and smiled with him: "I just came to tell her that I finally got someone I like."

The corners of Bai Feng's eyes turned red.

He has tasted the feeling of parting from life and death... It's not good.

Just because he has tasted it, he can understand how uncomfortable he is now.

"Don't cry..." Mu Chenling was actually fine, but seeing him like this made him feel even more uncomfortable, "It's been a long time ago, what's the matter?"

Mu Chenling smiled lightly: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought you here... just to make you uncomfortable."

Mu Chenling didn't want to stay longer, so she only stayed for a while before leading the people back.

"Still uncomfortable?" Mu Chenling put his arms around him and smiled, "Your temper has become softer these days."

Bai Feng paused, bowed his head and did not respond.

It's not that he's getting softer... I've seen this kind of thing a lot when I was in the Shadow Pavilion, and I didn't have such a big feeling.

Even when I was a child, I watched Xiao's family copy and cut with my own eyes, but I never felt such a big emotion.

It's not that it's not uncomfortable, it's just that after going through those things, I don't have much energy to tear my heart out.

Bai Feng originally thought that he had a bumpy journey, but now he felt that this person was much more bumpy than him.

"It's long gone," Mu Chenling persuaded in a low voice, "Don't think about it."

Mu Chenling pulled him to sit on the ground leaning against a tree: "I'll tell you some secrets of the past, will you listen?"

Bai Feng nodded: "Okay...".

"Okay," Mu Chenling leaned on the tree trunk, "Tell me about... my mother and concubine."

"When my father destroyed the country of Yan, he wanted the concubine to marry... It's just that my mother and concubine already had a sweetheart at that time. It's a pity that they had a good marriage."

Bai Feng paused in his heart.

He thought about it for a while, and felt how uncomfortable Concubine Yan must have been back then.

"Her? She didn't feel too bad." Mu Chenling sneered, "She still only wanted to go out of the palace and live together with everyone...It's a pity that I got married later."

Bai Feng was taken aback again, wondering whether this woman should be sympathized with or cast aside.

"Mother concubine treated me well, but when I was two years old, she was discovered by correspondence with that person... But there is no evidence, and I am indeed of the blood of the royal family. From now on, neither of us will be very popular.”

In the palace, Mu Chenling had truly experienced how sad the unfavored prince was.

So until today, nothing came out of the harem, and it was Mu Chenling's instruction.

He couldn't pay attention to it, so he had no choice but to not give them a chance to suffer.

"As for the palace change that year... Let me tell you this, the mother concubine was given death not because of anything else, but because someone withheld the letters she had with that person." When it came to Concubine Yan's reputation, Mu Chenling's voice It was still a little lower, "In order to save the face of the royal family, I said that to the outside world."

"What is this..." Mu Chenling sneered, "I should have died violently after my concubine's first seven days."

Everyone in the world thought that Mu Chenling changed the palace because he said that the imperial concubine died in vain, no one knew how the situation was that if he didn't move, he would die.

Bai Feng was startled, even though he was always calm, he couldn't help being afraid.

If there was a slight difference at that time...

"If it was half a point back then," Mu Chenling teased him with a relaxed tone, "Now, no one will spoil you."

Bai Feng turned his head slightly, his ears were a little red, but his heart was still very uncomfortable.

"Bai Feng didn't do anything to help the master at that time..."

Mu Chenling shook his head with a smile: "It wasn't that dangerous at the time... It wasn't like letting the hidden guards go into battle."

Although Mu Chenling was driven into a desperate situation at that time, he had already made preparations earlier, so it was not a strategic plan, nor was there any chance of winning.

"Don't think about it..." Mu Chenling pulled him into his arms, "I want to tell you about the Xiao family."

Bai Feng subconsciously sat up straight, not knowing what this matter had to do with the Xiao family.

"Why are you nervous?" Mu Chenling smiled, "It does have something to do with it... It was someone from the Xiao family and my father who recommended my concubine mother."

Bai Feng was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, his face turned pale all of a sudden.

No matter what the purpose of the Xiao family was at the beginning...it was he who single-handedly contributed to the misfortune of these few people.

Being able to introduce another country's first princess to the former emperor, and involving the whole family of the Xiao family...

Bai Feng closed his eyes.

When he was a child, he vaguely remembered that his father had indeed done something to make the Xiao family famous all of a sudden.

Mu Chenling didn't notice the strangeness in him, and only continued: "Later, when I was two years old, although my father and emperor didn't find any evidence, he suspected my mother and concubine... It should be because of this that he got angry. The Xiao family."

Mu Chenling shook his head: "Actually, I was wronged in this matter... I was still young at the time - it was all these things that were found out later, the imperial decree that made the Xiao family copy and beheaded back then had nothing to do with me... ...Bai Feng?"

It was only then that Mu Chenling noticed that his face was pale, and he was shocked: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Bai Feng's mind was complicated, and he knelt up on his knees: "Master..."

But he couldn't go on.

Originally thought that the royal family could not tolerate the ever-growing Xiao family in Lingnan, but never thought that the Xiao family was the beginning of all this.The glory that they coveted at the beginning actually caused the misfortune of these people.

Bai Feng has always thought that he took the initiative to let go of that deep hatred, but he never thought that the person he thought he forgave was the one who should really hold hatred.

This... what is this.

Bai Feng knelt on the ground, feeling very uncomfortable for a while.

Bai Feng's voice became hoarse: "Please, please don't be so nice to Bai Feng..."

Mu Chenling secretly regretted her slip of the tongue, and slowly pulled the person into her arms: "This matter has nothing to do with you...don't move, listen to me, Bai Feng..."

Mu Chenling coaxed in a low voice: "Didn't we agree, this matter is over long ago... Blame me, why bring this up carefully."

Bai Feng just shook his head, filled with guilt.

"There's no right or wrong in these things." Mu Chenling gently stroked his back, "If it wasn't like this, how would I have met you?"

Bai Feng's voice choked up uncontrollably, "You can always meet someone better, at least I won't think about assassinating you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? There's nothing better," Mu Chenling said with a smile, "Isn't that going to be a problem? I don't know if you really have that kind of heart. If you really wanted to, you would have Got it..."

If he really wanted to, with his love and affection for him, he would be unable to do what he wanted in Minglan Palace.

Mu Chenling could feel that he didn't have that kind of thought.

"What happened in the previous generation has nothing to do with us." Mu Chenling sighed lowly, and persuaded the person in his arms with the words that he had easily persuaded himself, "It's actually not that big with the Xiao family... It’s the best way to sacrifice the queen and daughter to preserve the ancestral temple. They are just pulling a thread.”

Bai Feng tried his best to calm down, not allowing himself to really cry.

Mu Chenling lightly tapped the Yuhan Sword on his waist, and slowly said to him: "Besides, I didn't say anything just now, it doesn't count as tearing apart a pair of mandarin ducks... In the final analysis, those things are still about that person." source of disaster."

"It's also my mother and concubine... I don't know people well." After being in the palace for many years, although Concubine Yan didn't care much about him, she still had a bit of mother-child affection after all, and Concubine Yan's grave was only a few miles away, Mu Chenling Can't say too much to disturb her purity.

"That person initially plotted the identity of my mother, concubine and concubine, but later the country was destroyed... the matter of presenting the princess, but he persuaded all the ministers to bring it up."

Bai Feng's heart turned cold.

He hadn't experienced it, and he didn't know how to put himself in that situation.But with just a little thought, the despair in it is already overwhelming.

Mu Chenling smiled lightly: "You can't listen anymore?"

"Why, like this..." Bai Feng was startled and angry, and subconsciously hid in Mu Chenling's arms, "How could it be like this..."

Mu Chenling's heart was full of pity.

Even though he was unlucky as a child, even though his family was ruined and his family was destroyed, even though he had been trained in the Shadow Pavilion for many years, and he was used to bloody storms, treachery and cunning, he still had an indelible kindness in his bones, and he still had a childlike kindness and intolerance.

His little dark guard...

"What are you afraid of?" Mu Chenling changed his posture so that he could lean on himself more comfortably, "I won't be like him, what are you afraid of."

Bai Feng pursed her lips and gave a soft "um".

These things have been going on for many years, and Mu Chenling was able to deal with them calmly when he mentioned them again: "Afterwards, when my mother and concubine entered the palace, he contacted him several times. The benefits of being here."

With the woman in the deep palace, I got a personal token by helping her and her family deliver letters, and then went to the old lord of Liangguo who barely kept the ancestral temple at that time to tell the dangers of the palace.

After all, the monarch of Liangguo is also a father, so sending his daughter to the empress palace of Languo is a helpless act, and seeing his daughter's life is difficult under the guilt, naturally he will help him with all his strength.

Although the good country is ruined, it still has a lot of savings after all.The man quickly grew himself with the savings of the Liangguo family business, and he also benefited from both sides.

Mu Chenling was worried that Bai Feng would be even more uncomfortable after hearing those things, so he only picked out some trivial things and told him a few things.Even so, Bai Feng still felt very uncomfortable.

Bai Feng was very unsatisfactory when he was a child, but no matter what, his sister has been working hard to protect him.But when Mu Chenling was a child... I don't know how he got through it.

Mu Chenling remained silent for a long while, then sighed: "What are you talking about?"

Bai Feng paused, vaguely aware that his question was not appropriate.

"It's nothing..." It was rare for him to take the initiative to ask once, and Mu Chenling didn't want to be perfunctory.Just mentioning those things, after all, I feel depressed.

"Since I can remember, it's been like that...and I'm used to it." Mu Chenling said that he got used to it, but when he thought of those things, his heart was still violent, "...but I feel that we can't just let it go."

"These things started because of that person, but they can't end after that person's death... For the rest of his life, he will be powerful and enjoy the blessings of everyone. Don't let his wife and children spend half of their lives in ruins. I'm afraid it will be my mother and concubine. There will be no safety in the ground."

Mu Chenling closed his eyes.

He himself is really not safe.

Bai Feng thought to himself, inexplicably felt that this matter had something to do with him.He tentatively asked, "Does that person... Bai Feng know?"

Mu Chenling was taken aback, he didn't expect that he could find something unusual just by venting his emotions for a while.

Mu Chenling suppressed his thoughts, and smiled: "Where did you think?"

Bai Feng also just felt a little strange, and didn't think about it any more when he heard the words, he just sat up slowly, leaning back against the tree trunk: "Then now..."

Mu Chenling didn't want him to think too much, so he cut off his words and said, "Of course it's already over."

"...It's just that the foundation is still there, the wife and children are still there, and the fame is still there." Mu Chenling paused for a while, "He still has what he doesn't deserve."

Mu Chenling looked at him, his eyes wandering: "I've always wanted to let you go."

"But now, I don't want you to go..." Mu Chenling closed his eyes, "I don't want you to get involved with these anymore."

Bai Feng smiled lightly, but his expression became a little more relaxed.

In fact, he really wanted to help something.

He changed from sitting to kneeling, and bowed to the ground: "Bai Feng begs, and is willing to share the master's worries."
