Knowing that Mu Qiu's body couldn't resist taking big supplements, Song Zichen specially ordered some light meals.After spending time with that person, and walking outside for a few times in person, he turned around again, and pulled Mu Qiu up excitedly: "Today is a fine day, and it's not too cold outside - let's take advantage of the night. It's dead, let's go out and get some air, shall we?"

After he went back, Hou Yunhui suddenly talked to him about the relationship between the two of them for some reason, and said that although Mu Qiu is weak now, it is not good for him to lie in bed blindly.Firstly, the Qi and blood will not flow smoothly after lying down for a long time, and secondly, the person is also preoccupied. If he is told to lie at home and cannot go anywhere, instead, he will often think wildly, and it is easier to worry about it.Song Zichen also felt that this was quite reasonable. Although he was embarrassed to tell Mu Qiu where he learned it from, he did everything according to the same, and only hoped that the man's health would be a little better.

Mu Qiu was pulled up by him, and he couldn't help showing a bit of gentle curiosity in his eyes, but he still nodded with a smile, and said in a slow voice: "Your Highness is being stared at a lot, so let's not be too ostentatious. It’s better to change clothes and go out in a light car, just pretending to be an ordinary merchant to visit the capital, so as not to attract people’s attention.”

"Well, that's exactly what I thought too."

Song Zichen nodded quickly, and ordered his servants to prepare a simple carriage, then turned back, found two ordinary clothes and changed them with Mu Qiu: "It's not safe for the two of us to go out, I think it's better to go out." Bring a few hidden guards——Mu Qiu, you are more familiar with their skills, which ones do you think should be brought?"

"Your Highness, let's prepare for other things. I will give orders on this matter."

Seeing his high spirits, Mu Qiu smiled a little more in his eyes, nodded slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Highness should also know more about your hidden guards, if one day your Highness and I have to Let's go to one side, does His Highness have to rely on lottery to arrange them to do things?"

"Okay - I'll understand when I look back, I'll understand when I look back..."

Song Zichen sneered, nodded quickly, and agreed honestly.He is used to being a hands-off shopkeeper, always remembering this and forgetting that. Although he has the intention to cheer up and take care of things, he is often lazy.Often Mu Qiu would not mention him too much, but would silently make up for his omissions, but only this matter of the hidden guards would never allow him to be sloppy. Counting this time, he had already mentioned it to him no less than ten times.

He actually knew what Mu Qiu was thinking, but he was always inexplicably resistant to understanding these things in detail—Mu Qiu had been his bodyguard for two lifetimes, and these things were Mu Qiu's real job, and they were what that person cared about the most. s things.Although he knew that such thoughts were too naive, he couldn't help but think that as long as he needed that person's protection for a day, that person would definitely not be willing to leave him alone, would not be willing to let go and leave.

It wasn't really cold outside tonight, but Song Zichen was still worried that the man would catch a cold, so he put a cloak on Mu Qiu half-forced, then nodded in satisfaction, and led him out.

There was no curfew in the capital of the Qi Dynasty, and this time was the time when the night market was full of traffic.There are everything sold on the street, such as lantern snacks, candy figurines, and all kinds of cloth and needlework. There are also lanterns in the bookstalls facing the street. Many poor students rely on these bookstalls to buy. Go back and study a few books.The two detoured to the main road and looked all the way down, but they couldn't help being amazed in their hearts, only to realize that the capital city at night was actually such a prosperous scene.

Song Zichen thought it wasn't fun watching from the car, so he asked about Mu Qiu's physical strength, dragged him out of the car, and strolled along the street.After looking around curiously for a while, he couldn't help chuckling and said: "It's really——no wonder Lao Meng and the others always said that I was ignorant, and asked me to come out for a walk often... At that time, I also told them, what is good in the palace? I have never seen something before, so how could I get such an unknown title, but now I realize that this folk fireworks really has a special flavor..."

"Your Highness was not always curious when I was a child. I don't know how I can conjure so many magical things. In fact, they are all mixed up while shopping in the palace, and bought back secretly on the street."

Looking at this familiar street, Mu Qiu couldn't help but have some warmth in his eyes, and replied with a smile.Song Zichen also thought of the time when the two were young, and couldn't help but chuckled blushingly: "I was too ignorant at that time, and I always asked you for this and that. If you didn't have one, I would have to fight you for a while—— Thinking about it now, you didn't bother me to death at that time, it was definitely because of your good temper..."

Attracted by him, Mu Qiu couldn't help chuckling, shook his head helplessly and said: "It's not as bad as His Highness said, but it's just a child's heart, everything is new when you see it, and you don't want to be worse than others. At that time His Highness is alone, without the protection of his parents, nor the care of his elders, I just thought - if those little things can make His Highness happy for a moment, and make His Highness feel that he is no worse than other princes, then it will be worth it .”

Song Zichen couldn't help chuckling, and walked forward with him for a while, before suddenly whispering: "Mu Qiu, I'm actually thinking—if I didn't have you as my companion, I would probably grow up like Song Zixuan. "

Unexpectedly, he would say such words suddenly, Mu Qiu couldn't help but focus slightly, subconsciously stopped, but was led by the man to continue walking forward: "Mu Qiu, I will not hide it from you, I I actually thought about it for a long time today——I now understand why Song Zixuan has such a temper. Because all this is his, but all this is not his, like a stolen identity, a stolen brother , the stolen father and son, he doesn't want to return it, that's why he feels afraid. He will do all this, but it's all because he is afraid..."

There are hidden guards protecting the front, rear, left, and right sides, and the pedestrians on the street are also busy with their own affairs, and no one will think what they say.He had thought about it for a long time to say these words here - he was still not sure how much this matter would hit Mu Qiu, but he knew the source of that person's uneasiness better than anyone else, because from the beginning to the end, Only Mu Qiu is the one who really has nowhere to go.

Song Zixuan didn't want to go home, he just wanted to keep this stolen prince's identity forever.His own home is in that palace, which is his home.But Mu Qiu didn't have such a place. He grew up in the bodyguard department and grew up with his adoptive father. After his adoptive father passed away, the bodyguard department became only a place to work, not his home. After that, Mu Qiu He followed him, always by his side, although he wholeheartedly hoped that that person would treat the palace as their home, but he was also fully aware that if he turned against that person like in his previous life and drove that person out, Mu Qiu didn't even have a place to go back to.

It was precisely because he knew this that he insisted on bringing Mu Qiu out—in that house, no matter what he said, Mu Qiu would always feel uneasy.But now it is different, both of them are outside, both are among the creatures of heaven and earth, and they both don't know where to go.Only at this time, that person can really listen to his own words.

After thinking this through, he held Mu Qiu's hand a little tighter.The man's hand was not as cold as it used to be, it seemed to have a slight warmth, spreading and infiltrating along his palm, making his chest also feel warm.

"I'm different from those brothers of mine. I'm the son of the former empress. I'm not the eldest brother, and I don't have the brains of my elder brother—in fact, I know better than anyone else. What a dreadful day it will be."

Feeling Mu Qiu's gentle grip back, Song Zichen's eyes couldn't help but brighten slightly, and subconsciously looked at that person, and then met a pair of warm and clear eyes: "Your Highness won't grow up like that—Your Highness is a good boy. He was a good kid from the start."

"But—the imperial palace is a big dye vat..."

Song Zichen shook his head and smiled wryly, sighed very lightly, and slowed down his voice: "I know my temper, I have to be strong, I am stubborn, I don't want to give in, I don't know how to be flexible. If I'm the only one in that situation, I will definitely not be able to resist fighting with them, and then I will step into the pit they dug step by step, and stumble again and again, until all the edges and corners are completely erased, or I am forced to forget all the weakness and kindness, Learning to grow venom and fangs—it’s all like this, everyone is like this. Even I am no different from them in essence, otherwise, I wouldn’t be with Song Zixuan and force you Take that drunken mortal..."

"More than ten years ago...once, the Third Prince had a big quarrel with his father."

Mu Qiu was silent for a long time before suddenly opening his mouth softly, with an almost cold sigh in his eyes: "Father and the emperor have never kept secrets from me about the third prince, even when we were young, the third prince He often has the opportunity to come out and reunite with his father's family. But for some reason, once he came back, he had a big fight with his father. At that time, his father was already very weak, and he was so angry that he vomited blood. Since then, the two have never met again, and the father only said——from now on, he will never have this son again."

"Does he refuse to recognize your father?"

Although he didn't know why Mu Qiu brought up this matter suddenly, Song Zichen couldn't help but frowned slightly, and subconsciously asked.

"Yes, but it's not just that."

Mu Qiu nodded slightly, and held hands with him a little tighter. He stood still at a street corner, looked up at the stars in the sky, and sighed very softly.

"He doesn't want anyone who knows about this to live in this world—he went to his father that time because he hoped that he would kill me,"
