023 No smoke without smoke (4)

In the clear pond in the back garden, the pink water lilies are in bud, with sharp corners emerging from the lotus leaves. The orioles are singing along the stone path, and through the faint fragrance of mud and grass, two slender figures stand by the green pond. They are Mu Ziling.

With a strange man.

I saw the strange man in a blue shirt with a handsome face and a careless smile. He bent down to pick up a piece of stone and threw it towards the center of the lake. The stone piece swept across the lake, jumped a few times, and fell into the lake, causing ripples along the way.

But I heard him say: "Brother Seven, I heard that you dote on Sister-in-law Seven very much. When are you going to let me meet this sister-in-law who makes you lose your heart?" This person is none other than the Twelfth Prince Mu Ziye.

"Where did you hear the gossip?"

"You stayed at Seventh Sister's place every night and didn't even care about Qing's pregnancy. I heard these words as soon as I walked into your house. There are many women, so word spreads quickly!"

Mu Ziling smiled nonchalantly and saw Ye Jiaoxi walking out from among the willow branches on the other side. He raised his finger and pointed: "Don't you want to see it? There."

Mu Ziye looked in the direction of Mu Ziling's finger. Because he was far away, he couldn't see his face clearly. He only felt that his figure was graceful, but his steps were not as steady as those of a boudoir woman, but light and graceful. Ye Jiaoxi also saw it.

The two people on the other side waved towards Mu Ziling.

Mu Ziye frowned slightly and said: "The daughter of the prime minister of the capital has lived in a boudoir for a long time. She is elegant and gentle, and has a beautiful heart. When I saw her today, the rumors are indeed unbelievable."

Mu Ziling frowned slightly, "You just took one look and knew she was not Qing Yaxing or Huizhi Lanxin?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm jumping and jumping when I walk."

While talking, Ye Jiaoxi had already crossed the bridge and walked over.

Mu Ziling stepped forward and said, "Why are you alone? Don't you have a maid with you?"

"Why do you have to bring it with you? I don't like people following me." She looked at Mu Ziye again and asked, "This is it?"

Mu Ziling said: "It's twelve."

Mu Ziye stepped forward and said: "It seems that the rumors are true, Sister-in-law Qi, Brother Qi really dotes on you very much. Look at his smile, it's so gentle that it can make your eyes water. But Sister-in-law Qi, am I here?"

Where have I seen you?”

Ye Jiaoxi was startled. She stared at Mu Ziye for a long time, her eyes moved, and she laughed dryly and said: "Did you remember the Twelve Princes wrongly? I don't leave the door and don't step forward. I shouldn't have seen the prince before."

That’s right.”

Mu Ziye nodded and didn't delve deeper, "That's right, I probably haven't seen her before. Maybe I think Sister-in-law Seven is particularly kind, haha!"

Ye Jiaoxi glanced at Mu Ziling secretly, but saw that he seemed not to hear and had no reaction.

At this moment, Ju Qiu hurried over and said out of breath: "My lord, my lord, it's not good, your Majesty, your Majesty, her... child..."

Mu Ziling frowned slightly, "Did you call the doctor?"

Juqiu nodded vigorously, "The doctor came and said that the child...can't be saved!"

Ye Jiaoxi was startled, pulled Mu Ziling and said: "Go and have a look!"

Mu Ziling nodded and walked towards Qing's residence with Ye Jiaoxi, and Mu Ziye followed suit.

When he walked into Qing's room, he saw her lying on the bed with a pale face, already in a coma, and the doctor beside her stood helpless.

Muzi asked in a cold voice: "What's going on?"

The doctor replied: "My mother took the abortion pill, and there is nothing I can do about it..."
