Xichang Palace.

After reminiscing with Mu Aoxue, Shangguan Hanchi took her hand and came to Yun Wan'er and said: "Aunt Yun, go back and tell your mother that I will not go to Hanyun Palace today.

I need to have a nice talk with Miss Chen'er."

"Your Highness, this..." Yun Wan'er looked at Shangguan Hanchi and then at Mu Aoxue, then smiled and said: "Your Highness, I understand, I will explain it clearly to the Queen."

"Go, go." Shangguan Hanchi waved his hand. At this moment, all his thoughts were on Mu Aoxue, and he had no intention of saying another word to anyone else.

…

Jialan Academy, inside Dongyang Courtyard.

Shortly after Chen Shi, Mu Boyan and Liu Yi came to have breakfast with Mu Zichen. It wasn't until they pushed open her room that they found that there was no one in the room.

Almost everything in the room had not been moved, even the quilt had not been lifted.

"Where's Chen'er?" Mu Boyan asked hurriedly.

"General, is it possible that the fourth lady didn't come back all night last night?" Liu Yi said nervously.

Mu Boyan glanced around the room. Except for the piano on the piano stand that had been moved, nothing else had been moved. "Where did this kid go all night?" Mu Boyan said with a solemn face.

Seeing the anxious Mu Boyan, Liu Yi suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "General, the fourth lady has the habit of practicing at night. Could it be that she went somewhere to practice and forgot the time."

Mu Boyan's brows furrowed, with a look of worry in his eyes, "It's her first time coming to Jialan Academy. She's not familiar with the place, where else can she go?"

"This subordinate doesn't know. Perhaps His Highness the Sixth Prince will know where the Fourth Miss has gone. When I came to deliver supper to the Fourth Miss yesterday, the Jialan disciple on duty said that he saw the Fourth Miss and His Highness the Sixth Prince going out together.

"

"What? You said His Highness the Sixth Prince took Chen'er away?" Mu Boyan was slightly surprised.

Liu Yi nodded, "Yes, General, that's what the Jialan disciple on duty said."

"Where will His Highness Sixth Prince take Chen'er this whole night?" Mu Boyan became more and more worried as he thought about it, "Could they be alone and alone..." Thinking of this, Mu Boyan's expression suddenly changed.

He was so pale that he didn't dare to go any further.

"General, don't worry too much. I think His Highness the Sixth Prince is not that kind of person." Liu Yi quickly comforted Mu Boyan.

"Alas!" Mu Boyan sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "I know His Highness the Sixth Prince is not that kind of person, but some things are really unpredictable."

Liu Yi's eyes widened. After a long time, he asked: "General, what should we do now?"

Mu Boyan took a deep breath, "This is not the capital of Nancheng Kingdom, and the imperial city of Qianling Kingdom is not a place we can enter just as we want. For now, we can only wait. If Chen'er has not come back after noon, I will

I can only go and ask for an audience with His Highness Sixth Prince."

"..." Liu Yi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just nodded.

…

Bingxuan Tiandu, Liangwandian.

Mu Zichen has been practicing here for two hours.

Around noon, Mu Zichen heard the sound of the gate of the deserted palace being opened. She did not open her eyes. She could see clearly the identity of the person who came just by relying on her mental strength.

The visitor was none other than Shangguan Xuanxi's personal guard Yu Wenliu. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mu Zichen sitting cross-legged under a pillar practicing.

"Miss Chen'er, why are you locked up here?" Yu Wenliu asked in surprise.

Mu Zichen didn't reply immediately. After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and said, "Brother Yuwen, why are you here?"

"His Highness asked me to come look for you. I didn't expect you to be here. What's going on?" Yu Wenliu asked doubtfully.

Mu Zichen stood up, patted the dust on her body, and asked: "Is it Mu Aoxue who went to find your Highness?"

Yu Wenliu shook his head, "It's not Mu Aoxue, it's your father, General Mu Boyan. His Highness didn't know about your disappearance until the imperial city guards brought him to His Highness. But His Highness was really clever, and he found out about you very quickly."

Being locked up here, I was sent to find you."

Mu Zichen took a breath. She had already guessed that Mu Aoxue would not be so good, but she did not give up and insisted on asking more questions.

"Where is your Highness? Where has he gone?" Mu Zichen asked again.

Yu Wenliu shrugged and said: "He went to the Xichang Palace of His Highness the Second Highness. Mu Aoxue assumed your identity, and His Highness was very angry. As soon as I left, he went in the direction of the Xichang Palace."

Mu Zichen frowned slightly, "I knew this Mu Aoxue would never do anything good with my appearance! It seems that I still think highly of her."

"Why does Mu Aoxue use your appearance to meet His Highness?" Yu Wenliu asked in confusion.

"Why else? I guess it's because her face is not attractive enough, so she wants to use my appearance."

What Mu Zichen said was not just a guess.

She knew better than anyone else Mu Aoxue's purpose of coming to Bingxuan Capital. He went through all the trouble to come here just to tell Shangguan Hanchi that she already had his flesh and blood.

But no matter what, what Mu Aoxue is wearing now is her appearance. If Shangguan Hanchi really has any thoughts about her, then she won't be able to defend herself.

Thinking of this, Mu Zichen quickly said to Yuwen Liu: "Brother Yuwen, hurry, take me to Xichang Palace, I don't want His Highness to have any misunderstandings about me."

"Okay, Miss Chen'er, I'll take you there right now." Yuwen Liu responded.

Soon, the two of them walked out of the deserted palace one after the other.

When they saw Mu Zichen, the palace guards at the door were stunned. They clearly remembered that this girl had left two hours ago. Who was this girl in front of them?

"Master Yuwen, this girl came here in the morning and then left again. Who is this person?" One of the guards asked with a surprised look on his face.

Before Yu Wenliu could speak, Mu Zichen answered first, "I was the one who came in this morning. I haven't been out since then. As for who the girl who went out before was, you have to ask yourselves."

"This...this is impossible..."

Hearing Mu Zichen's words, the four palace guards exclaimed at the same time.

They had been guarding the door, and except for the person who looked like the girl in front of them who had gone out, they did not see anyone else coming out of the temple.

"I want to take this girl away now, please get out of the way." Yu Wenliu said calmly.

"Master Yuwen, this girl can't leave." One of the palace guards said with a troubled face: "We were ordered to guard here. Now that she is missing, how can we explain to Master Gongye?"

Yu Wenliu frowned and angrily said, "How you explain it is your own business. This girl belongs to His Highness the Sixth Prince of my family. Do you dare to stop her?"

"Master Yuwen, please don't embarrass us. We are also following orders."

"Bastard!!" Yu Wenliu yelled angrily. As he spoke, he flicked his wrist and unsheathed a soft sword, pointing it directly at the guard who was speaking. "If Gongsun Rong has any opinions, let him speak to His Highness the Sixth Prince himself!!"

Seeing that Yu Wenliu was really angry, several palace guards trembled with fear and did not dare to say another word.

Yuwen Liu narrowed his eyes, put away his sword, swiped away several palace guards, turned to Mu Zichen and said, "Miss Chen'er, let's go."

…

Inside Xichang Palace.

Shangguan Hanchi brought Mu Aoxue to his dormitory, and the two chatted from early morning to noon.

Mu Aoxue also gradually became eloquent from being taciturn at the beginning. She seemed to have forgotten that she still had Mu Zichen's face.

The Shangguan Hanchi in front of her was so fascinating to her. Whether it was his eyes or the aura emanating from his body, her heart was throbbing.

She likes this feeling so much. Is this the man she has always loved?

Shangguan Hanchi's words all revealed his love for the girl in front of him. His hands were stroking back and forth on the back of Mu Aoxue's hands. It seemed that only in this way could he express his love for her.

Seeing Shangguan Hanchi's gentle and doting expression, Mu Aoxue's delicate body trembled slightly, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, as if she was shy.

"Chen'er, I really like you, promise me to stay and be my woman, okay?"

Mu Aoxue nodded slightly, as if she was drunk and had no strength to refuse.

After exchanging heart-to-heart talk, Shangguan Hanchi finally asked Mu Aoxue what happened in the General's Mansion that night, "I went to the General's Mansion to look for you that day, but your father said that you went to Xiaocheng with him.

what is going on?"

Hearing Shangguan Hanchi's question, Mu Aoxue's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he asked her the question she least wanted to answer.

Fearing that her identity would be discovered, Mu Aoxue had no choice but to make a mistake, "Your Highness, this matter is a long story. After I was separated from you, I was worried that something would happen to my father, so I hurried to Xiaocheng."

"But your father said that you were with him in Xiaocheng that whole night."

Mu Aoxue quickly avoided Shangguan Hanchi's eyes, lowered her head, and whispered, "Maybe my father remembered the time wrongly. I went to Xiaocheng after His Highness left."

"Really?"

Mu Aoxue nodded, "Of course...of course it's true. I've always worn the jade pendant you gave me, Your Highness. Also, I remember every word you said to me that night."

When she said these words, Mu Aoxue's heartbeat kept accelerating. She was afraid that her disguise technique would be discovered by Shangguan Hanchi.

Just when Mu Aoxue was nervous, Shangguan Hanchi suddenly stepped forward and took her hand, and said softly: "Chen'er, what's wrong with you? I just asked you casually, and it scared you."

"I..." Mu Aoxue was speechless. Was she really too nervous just now? "Yes... I'm sorry, Your Highness, I was a little distracted just now."

Hearing what Mu Aoxue said, Shangguan Hanchi did not suspect anything, but said with a smile: "Why are you nervous? You were not like this before." After saying that, he pulled Mu Aoxue back to him again,

He looked at her affectionately and said, "Come, Chen'er, let me take a good look at you again."

"Your Highness..." Mu Aoxue blushed and tried her best to avoid Shangguan Hanchi's eyes.

Shangguan Hanchi gently turned Mu Aoxue's face back, then gently stroked her cheek, and continued: "Chen'er, do you know that since I separated from you, I have been thinking about you every day, and I like you

You, if you agree to be my wife, I will immediately go to Empress Ming and ask her to grant us a marriage, what do you think?"
