The setting sun in the sky is slowly falling to the west, leaving orange-red clouds behind.In the afterglow, the wheels rolled forward, and the slanted shadow gradually elongated.

The remaining twilight was also blocked by the gauze curtain.In the darkness, only the four opposing eyes were shining brightly.

There is a small table built into the carriage, and candles and fire folders are neatly placed.Every time Xiao Beichen tried to reach for it, he was stopped in the air. "Why do you keep looking at me?" In desperation, he had to pay attention to people first.

"Your Highness will come to pick me up from now on?" Ji Muqing sat side by side with him, slightly raised his knees and rubbed the clothes of the person beside him.Seeing him looking down, Ji Muqing also leaned over and raised her head, keeping her eyes on the same line.

Xiao Beichen laughed, and calmly replied: "The palace is busy, so there may not be any free time. Come here..." He was not afraid of disappointment, and was very sincere, "I have something to ask."

Sure enough, the other side immediately lowered his face.When he was speaking, Ji Muqing had already placed one leg on his lap, and now Ji Muqing was neither advancing nor retreating, and the gradually charming atmosphere disappeared completely.

When Ji Muqing was young, others chased him, but when he met Xiao Beichen, he always chased them.Therefore, after hesitating for a long time in this position, he still moved the seat between his legs, and slowly leaned back.

There were too many sudden changes during the day, and his mind was still in chaos, and he didn't want to talk to others.But today Xiao Beichen didn't want to make him coquettish, so he said in a cool tone: "It's useless to seduce people now, I can't see it."

"..."

After a long time, Ji Muqing still compromised.He embraced Xiao Beichen's arm, and said emotionlessly, "What do you want to ask?"

Xiao Beichen said bluntly: "Song Zhengxiu is just a commoner, and he can ask King Ning to go thousands of miles to meet him. Does he have his help in this court?"

Ji Muqing also guessed that Song Zhengxiu was probably inseparable.He nodded slightly, "The specific general is still looking into the old things. There are too many people involved, and they haven't started to be monsters yet, so it's hard to judge crimes."

In the previous life, Ji Muqing personally rectified Chao Gang, and he did not spare any of those who contributed to Song Zhengxiu.But in this life, he still decided to deal with it himself.

While thinking about it, he turned his head and saw that Xiao Beichen was concerned, and frowned, so he couldn't help but reminded: "Do you believe that someone started to bury their eyeliner in the court ten years ago, or even 20 years ago?"

Xiao Beichen's expression was serious for a moment, but before he could think about it for a long time, Ji Muqing asked again: "Do you still remember the details of your being kidnapped ten years ago? Although a large number of forbidden troops went south with the monarch, the palace is still there. It is well guarded, but you were still robbed."

That night when the incident happened suddenly, Ji Muqing was completely at a loss, and now when he recalls it, he can only remember the fragmented scene. "I saw you being robbed with my own eyes, and I chased after you. But that night, when the imperial guards received the news, I disappeared without a trace. Do you think there is a ghost in this?"

Xiao Beichen wrapped his arms around his waist and recalled together: "I happened to not bring any guards with me that day, so I went with you to the imperial garden in the harem. Afterwards, my father pursued the responsibility, found a large number of people, and executed them for their crimes. And you Resting in the mansion, I missed the next thing."

"I've heard about it." Ji Muqing leaned sideways, with serious eyes, "But the mastermind in the palace is just a bribed maid?"

"It's really unconvincing." Xiao Beichen didn't dare to say anything about it, but after that, no clues could be found in the palace, and the situation gradually calmed down.

"Beichen, there has only been one concubine in the harem for many years, covering the sky with only one hand." Ji Muqing whispered out her doubts in her heart, but Xiao Beichen sighed and said firmly: "Concubine Mi has no ghost, she is indeed just the former king who placed her next to her father." people... besides, there are too many people living in the harem."

"But the others are all court ladies and eunuchs, none higher than Concubine Mi." Ji Muqing also resolutely felt that there was still something hidden in it.

After a stalemate for a while, Xiao Beichen was defeated, and followed his train of thought to think of someone, "My wet nurse, Aunt Su, does it count?"

Finally mentioned this person, Ji Muqing straightened up instantly, "Yes, Aunt Su has the right to speak." After speaking, he fell into deep thought, leaving time for others to think about it.

During the day, if Su Lan really smelled the mandala flower by mistake, then the matter will be exposed.But if it was done on purpose, then her purpose would be unthinkable.Ji Muqing didn't really think that the reason she wanted to kill Ji Muxi was because she hated Wu and Wu, so she could only think worse of her.

It's a pity that Xiao Beichen didn't doubt her intentions at all.

"Aren't you talking about Song Zhengxiu?" Xiao Beichen knew that Ji Muqing would link the eyeliner matter with Su Lan for no reason, but he and his wet nurse had been together day and night for many years, so he already had some considerations in his mind.

Ji Muqing was not in a hurry, after all, he had only guessed today.He rubbed Xiao Beichen's sleeves and answered: "What do you think is the reason why a commoner has worked hard for more than ten years just to break into the palace wall in one fell swoop, communicate with foreign enemies, and cause chaos in the world."

"Talk to foreign enemies? It turns out that Song Zhengxiu's guilt is so great." Xiao Beichen raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his head and leaned into his ear and asked, "Did it succeed?"

After everyone finished asking questions, Ji Muqing realized that he had slipped up.He buried his head in the hollow of the person's shoulder and begged, "Let's just focus on the present, okay?"

Xiao Beichen shook his head, cupped his hand and kissed it on his knuckles, "You and I are one, we have revealed so much, it's not bad, I can accept it."

After a while of silence, Ji Muqing stood up and said with confidence in his tone, "No, I'm here."

"As you said earlier, the foreign enemy laid their eyes on the court many years ago." Xiao Beichen didn't press the question, but continued to follow his train of thought, "But there must be someone who takes care of the overall situation in the capital. Who is so capable?"

"To become an official in the court, one must have a clean and loyal family background. How much power must this person have to intimidate and lure the court to order officials to treason, and to hide the secret from the officials and the father."

"It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to know that you are shaking the foundation of Donggan. If King Ning wants to rebel now, he doesn't need to communicate with all the officials who support him. He only needs to use manpower to plan the right time, place and people step by step."

Xiao Beichen narrowed his eyes, his tone was slightly cold, "Will King Ning rebel?"

"..." Ji Muqing coughed twice, his eyes wandering.Seeing that Xiao Beichen's eyes were gradually turning cold, he finally managed to hold up the scene, and asked, "Why didn't you follow my train of thought to answer the question this time?"

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen sighed, "As long as you open up your heart, we don't have to be suspicious and piece together the unforgettable story in your dream."

In the previous life, Xiao Mingxuan failed to force the palace, and held the king hostage to resist.When the two sides confronted each other, Xiao Tianze, who was pressed against his throat, suddenly fell to the ground and died on the spot.Afterwards, Wu Zuo did not find out the cause of the monarch's death, and the officials had no choice but to pin the crime of regicide on Xiao Mingxuan to give the world an explanation.

Overnight, Xiao Beichen had no choice but to give his elder brother to death. So far, he has no relatives in this world.When Ji Muqing returned from the western region, it was just in time for him to officially succeed to the throne, and those eyes were no longer as clear as before.

From the beginning to the end, Ji Muqing felt that he was even more indebted, just because after Xiao Beichen lost his loved one, although he was by his side, he wanted to grasp the other person's full sincerity, and in the end he used the bad idea of ​​a fake marriage.

"Don't think too much, King Ning will turn against me if he has me?" Ji Muqing smiled.He thinks he has a certain understanding of Xiao Mingxuan, and he tends to think that there is a secret pusher in the forced palace in his previous life.He doesn't want to impose sins that don't exist in this world on people. After all, he was reborn to redeem regrets, not to deepen hatred.

"No." Xiao Beichen smiled back.He had a panoramic view of Ji Muqing's expression when he was thinking, and he could sense that Ji Muqing wanted him to hand everything over with confidence.But in fact, he didn't want to know the part about himself in the dream, he wanted to know about Ji Muqing.

Afterwards, the carriage fell silent, people came and went outside the curtain, and the noise continued.Seeing that he was about to lose sight of people, Xiao Beichen stretched out his hand to light the candle, and then retracted and clasped Ji Muqing's hand.

"What is the reason for a commoner to spend his whole life just to overthrow our dynasty?" Xiao Beichen said again, "Song Zhengxiu's past has a large blank space. He got rid of slavery and regained his freedom more than ten years ago, so he began to wander alone. In a foreign land, nothing can be found after this, and some experiences in childhood are extremely ordinary and too clean."

"Hate?" After hearing Ji Muqing murmur these two words, he watched the candle flames on the table flickering, and said calmly: "If I say he is a crazy person, just because he was born under others, he hates his father. Does it make sense to go to those in power?"

Ji Muqing's eyes moved slightly, "It's really possible."

Seeing that people are still serious, Xiao Beichen laughed dumbly, "Instead of thinking hard day and night and not being able to understand it, it's better to take one step at a time. After all, if you want to uproot it, you have to let people sprout sprouts first, right?"

After listening, Ji Muqing moved her lips, and finally nodded in agreement.He sank his heart and said: "Fortunately, now the enemy is clear and we are in the dark, it is impossible to capture the thief and the king first."

"Who is this king?"

"..." Ji Muqing really wanted to slap herself at this moment.He paused for a long time before letting go of his body, and pretended to move back a little inadvertently.Every time he didn't want to answer, he was clingy, and Xiao Beichen still took advantage of it in desperation.

Seeing that the person's eyes, which were originally as plain as water, dimmed a little, he pulled down some collars.

"It's about time, we're almost at the gate of the palace." Xiao Beichen's breathing became a little heavy, "If you move around at this time, are you going to punish me or you?"

Ji Muqing was still calm, and after feeling a little change behind him, he returned to his original position without haste.He unfolded the folding fan he carried with him to hide his smile, "The general's secrets have been stripped away, how can he fascinate people."

Xiao Beichen chuckled, and responded freely: "This hall is obsessed with beauty, and I like it the most..." He hadn't finished speaking when he heard voices welcoming him from outside, and he choked for a moment.Ji Muqing laughed out loud because of this.

Waiting for people to laugh enough, Xiao Beichen gently pressed Ji Muqing's waist with his fingertips, and asked in a low voice: "You look thin, but you feel thin... When the dust settles, can you take off your armor and go home?" I don't know. Why, at the moment he held hands with his beloved and entered the palace gate, he suddenly thought of this question.

This question was unexpected, and Ji Muqing was stunned.After a while, he lowered the corners of his mouth and said with a slightly stern expression, "I don't like war, but I have become a killer."

"How come?" Xiao Beichen lowered his tone.

Ji Muqing lowered her head.In his previous life, he fought for ten years. Everyone said that he was red-eyed. If it wasn't for his illness, he might have continued.

"I've been thinking about it for a while now," he said slowly, "Why can't we kill everyone who might get in the way, that would be much simpler."

Xiao Beichen was not surprised. He had heard of Ji Muqing's ruthlessness in the army, but he was familiar with Ji Muqing's always worried state, "Tonight, I will ask you again." He said in a calm and unhurried manner.

Ji Muqing unconsciously licked the corner of her lips, "Huh?"
