emperor of a dynasty

"Jian Yifan?" Mu Congcong read the name lightly, then raised his eyebrows and said with a light smile, "Good name, sir."

Mu Congcong and Jian Zhi had a pleasant chat. After several conversations, Mu Congcong learned that the other party was three years older than her, and his family was in business. When he was young, he followed his father and elder brother to travel all over the world to do business, and he went to many places. Now, people have more knowledge, Mu Congcong thinks he is very interesting, gentle and elegant, and he has a little affection for him in his heart.

It's not surprising, although Mu Congcong belongs to the royal family, but she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and the farthest place she went to was the state of Chu, but that was also a business trip, even if there was Yan Wuwei along the way, I believe Compared with the simple experience of doing business, her experience is too boring.

The two chatted very happily. In short, this person is young and a governor, and his words and deeds are polite, coupled with his outstanding appearance, it is hard not to let people down, let alone he is Murong Fan's good friend. The letter was brief, and later, Jian Zhi smiled and invited Mu Congcong to be a guest at his house in the future.

As soon as Mu Congcong came down, he was about to ask Jian Zhi about his experience in Qi State at the beginning of the year, when a palace official came over and saluted the three of them, "Your Highness, Master, Young Master."

Mu Congrong probably knew that the palace servants were looking for her, so he asked, "Why?"

"Return to Your Highness's words: Your Majesty is looking for you."

After hearing this, Mu Rongrong knew that it was not appropriate to talk to Jian Zhi anymore, he had to go back to his seat, so he apologized to the two of them, and asked Murong Fan to entertain Jian Zhi for her, and then left with the palace servants up.

As soon as he walked a few steps, a young man in a navy blue long suit blocked Mu Congcong's way. When Mu Congcong looked up, he was stunned when he saw the person:

"uncle…"

The person who came was Mu Cong's mother's younger brother, Gong Shucheng, who was also Mu Cong's uncle.

Seeing Mu Congcong call him, Uncle Gong's eyes flashed a trace of disgust, but the smile on his face remained undiminished. No matter what, as Mu Congcong's uncle and the son of King Qin's courtier, it was impossible for him to be in this kind of situation. He dared to mess with Mu Container on the occasion, so he still had to be superficial. Fortunately, he was born as a disciple of an aristocratic family.

It's not surprising that he appeared here at the Qin Palace dinner, and it's not surprising that he, as an uncle, had a few words with his niece.

"Qi'er returned home?"

"Yes, I came back last evening." Mu Congcong was taught by her mother since she was a child, and she was very respectful to her uncle, so when the uncle asked about it, she told the truth.

"It's been a hard journey." Uncle Gong smiled kindly. What outsiders don't know at a glance may really be regarded as "uncle and nephew love", but only the two parties know that there is no "love between them" "It can be said, at least for Gong Shucheng, it is like this.

"Is this journey going smoothly?" Because the envoy of Chu, the official letter of Yan Wuwei's alliance with Chu, has not yet been sent to Qin State, so it is normal for Gong Shucheng not to know that Qin Chu has already formed an alliance, but Yan Wuwei and Chu have made an alliance. As long as Mu Congcong can return safely from the state of Chu, he can be sure that Yan Wuweiding in the middle has made an agreement with the state of Chu.

"Thanks to my aunt, it went well."

"Oh? Is that so?" Gong Shucheng suddenly took a step forward, and said in a low voice, "But how did I hear...you almost won't come back?"

Mu Cong was startled, then looked up at Uncle Cheng's innocent eyes, her heart turned a thousand times, and after a long time, she only said, "As far as Qi is concerned, more suffering is not a bad thing."

Uncle Gong heard her say, "I will become the king in the future, and as the king, it is right to suffer some hardships."

Listen, what a nice word, Gongshucheng smiled coldly, until Mu Congcong saluted him and said goodbye again:

"It's true, His Royal Highness, please be careful."

Mu Congcong paused, realized what Gongshucheng was talking about, and blushed in anger, but she held back desperately, telling herself not to turn her head back, she knew that if she turned her head back, maybe she would die the next moment. I can't help but rush forward and wrestle with Gong Shucheng... definitely not like this.

At least it can't be like this now, she is the crown prince and the heir apparent of the state of Qin, in front of the officials, she must take care of her own words and deeds, she must not make any mistakes, and she must not let anyone use excuses to blame her.

"Thank you uncle for the reminder, I will remember it."

"..."

At the banquet, Mu Congcong found Murong Xun in the hall, bowed to him and said, "Qi'er has seen Auntie."

"Where did you go?"

"Brother Fan...and my uncle went to meet a friend of his." Mu Congfeng said honestly. For some reason, she kept hiding the fact that she just met Uncle Cheng. Maybe subconsciously she was afraid that Murong would be worried. her.

Murong Yan was not yet authoritarian enough to take care of his niece and make friends, so after hearing what she said, he didn't say much, he just said, "You're a bit bored, if you meet a bosom friend, it's not a bad idea." It’s a good thing to lose your column.”

Mu Container responded.

The aunt and nephew talked again, and then Murong Xun asked her about the journey to Chu State. When Mu Congcong came to the palace to look for her yesterday, she had already left the palace. Now that she is back, if you don’t ask My own niece is too outrageous.

Mu Congcong told the truth carefully, including how the king of Chu said in front of her that he wanted to accept Yan Wuwei as his concubine. He was afraid that Murong didn't want to hear it, and he was filled with righteous indignation, "The king of Chu is really too much! He humiliated Xiangguo like this!" !"

Murong Xun knew that the King of Chu was lustful by nature, but he never thought that he would dare to be lustful on Yan Wuwei's head. Thanks to Yan Wuwei and his party, no one told her when they were in Chu State. If she knew in advance, she might not be It's so easy to send 30 Qin troops to suppress the situation!

"anything else?"

"They even sent people to assassinate Xiangguo!" Mu Cong was extremely angry, "Auntie, why do we still want to ally with such a country and such a king?!"

"Why?" Murong Yan smiled, and said with a confused expression, "You will know one day..."

"You will know how involuntary it is after becoming a king."

Mu Congcong was startled, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Murong Xun asked her again, "Apart from these, do you have anything else to gain?"

"Others?" Mu Congcong thought for a while, "I learned a lot of poetry and books from Yan Xiang."

"Really?" Murong Xun looked at someone sitting under the stage, and said to his niece, "How is Yan Xiang treating you?"

"—Okay!" Mu Congcong nodded emphatically, "She's fine."

Hearing this, Murong Xun looked away, looked at the joyful expression of the half-grown niece in front of him when Yan Wuwei was mentioned, frowned, and a thought flashed in his mind.

Repeated her words, "Is she fine?"

"Yes, Xiangguo is very good, and has taken good care of me all the way..." Before he finished speaking, Murong Yan interrupted, "So you are grateful to her?"

Mu Congcong stopped talking, and looked at her aunt in confusion.

"She treats you well, so you remember her kindness and feel grateful?"

"No, isn't that right...?" Mu Congcong stammered.

"Heh..." Murong Leng chuckled, then took a step forward, supported Mu Congcong's body and turned her around, making her look at the crowd of His Highness, and said to her:

"Look at the people in the audience, everyone in the audience, you have watched carefully.

do you know?These people, as long as you think, as long as you want, each of them can treat you like a strict minister, and even throw away your wife and children for you... Should you be grateful for all of these? "

Murong Cong was speechless when asked by Murong Xun, "I..."

"They treat you well because your surname is Murong, your name is Murong Cong, and you are the crown prince, the heir of the orphan, but apart from these, who are you? Who else can you get good from?"

Murong Yan's words were like a key that opened the door of Murong Cong's forgotten memory. It was before she became the crown prince. At that time, she lost her father and the honor of being the "prince's daughter". , all Zong's children are staring at the throne, watching her every move in the dark. Before that, they were her brothers, uncles and uncles, but when the absolute power is in front of them, they Who cares about her?Asked about her?

They all want to kill her, want her to die, even if it is her mother, grandfather, and uncle.

"Gu's good prince, Gu asked Yan Wuwei to be your tutor not to make you appreciate her. Gu wants you to use her, step on her, climb up step by step, fight, grab, Go get yours back until you get all you want.

All the officials in the audience and the people in the world are all chess pieces in your game, and you are the chess player. You don't have to thank anyone, let alone remember whose kindness, because there can only be one chess player forever, and the role of chess pieces is only It can help you win this game of chess, if there is a chess piece that interferes with the chess game..." Murong Xun stretched out his hand and spread it out, and there was a peanut in his palm, "—you have to learn to let go of it. "

As he said that, he flipped over, and the peanut fell to the ground, bounced in a very small arc, and then fell to the ground, motionless.

"It's the same for lovers, and it's also the same for children, what's more about courtiers?"

What's more... a courtier? !

Mu Congcong was startled, his pupils dilated, he didn't know what he thought of, he suddenly turned his head, raised his head, and his panicked gaze broke into Murong's dark eyes like ink, she said urgently , "I, I, I..."

She wanted to say that she didn't want to do that, she wanted to say that she couldn't do that, she knew what Murong Yan said, and could understand what Murong Yan was saying, but she couldn't...

That person... What if it's Xiangguo...?What if that person is Yan Wuwei?Is it Yan Wuwei who treats her wholeheartedly and treats her like his own?Is she also a pawn?When it's time to give up, will she also give up her? !

But when Murong Xun took her hand and put a peanut into her palm, she was suddenly speechless again.

"You are the prince, you must understand." Murong Xun said in a low voice.

Her heart fell into the valley, yes, she is the prince, she became the prince with great difficulty, and obtained the crown prince with great difficulty. If she does not have this position and identity, then she will return to the quagmire without any glory.

... Is that kind of day what she wants?

Mu Congcong asked herself this way in her heart, she slowly stroked her abdomen, under the expensive fabric, there was a terrifying wound hidden there, it was a wound where a mother stabbed her own child.

She clenched her right hand slowly, holding the peanut tightly. The grip was too tight, which made her heart ache, but compared with the pain in her heart, it seemed nothing.

Murong Xun is smart, and a few words planted poison in Murong Cong's nascent love. Over time, the poison will penetrate into her internal organs one day, making her unable to talk about love, unable to love anymore. to have love.

After a long time, Murong Xun heard Murong Cong's slightly hoarse voice say, "Qi'er understands, Qi'er understands, thank you, aunt..."

Murong Xun sighed invisibly, she seemed to be pleased by Mu Container's knowledge practice, but at the same time she felt sad for Mu Container's knowledge practice.Many years ago, she also heard the same words from her father, but at that time she only said:

"It's good to play chess, but the child only loves one."

Her father asked: "Even if for that one son, you gave up the whole situation?"

"Why not?"

What responded to her was her father's deep smile, to this day, when she asked Mu Congcong with the same words, she suddenly understood her father's smile at that time.

As a father, he should be proud of her.

As King Qin, he should be disappointed because of her.

And it is the same now.

As a king, she is happy for Mu Rongrong.

For the sake of love, she is disdainful for the sake of the container.

In the world, only she and Yan Wuwei are the only ones who can give up the world for one person.

That's okay, so no one will blame anyone.
