Shen Yan took the tea and held it in his hand, shaking his head lonely.

Mu Yunqing's breath froze, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "You are indeed reborn..."

Shen Yan suddenly turned his head to look at her, his eyes sharp, like sharp blades.

But in just a moment, he took off his guard and disguise as if he gave up the struggle, and looked back slumped. Although he didn't admit it explicitly, he didn't deny it either.

Perhaps it was because he met Yue Qingyao today that Shen Yan felt uneasy, or maybe he was trapped by the love of two lives and had been suppressing it and unable to vent it. Now it was rare for someone to pry into the love buried deep in his heart, and he couldn't help but think. To talk.

"After you and the Northern Qi Dynasty, the emperor issued a decree to reward the Hou Mansion. The Sun family was afraid that I would covet the family property and become Shen Yi's strong enemy, so he set up a trap to harm me. He said that I was not the son of the Shen family and drove me out of the Hou Mansion. He even wanted to Silence."

Shen Yan's voice was calm, and there was no sadness or anger on his face, as if he was telling someone else's story.

Mu Yunqing slowly frowned, thinking that this was indeed something Sun could do.

"What happened next?"

"Later... I met Qingyao." When he mentioned the woman who haunted him, Shen Yan's eyes brightened, his voice showed a bit of anger, and his whole person became gentle: "She doesn't Like other people, they were insulted when they learned that I was no longer the prince of the Hou family, but they still treated me with courtesy. After learning about my experience, they even advised me in front of the Queen Mother and helped me find a job in Jinwu Guard, so that I could have a good job. The foundation for settling down and establishing a life."

He no longer had the chance to pass the imperial examination and become an official, so he could only work hard to climb up through other means.

In addition to wanting to repay her kindness to Yue Qingyao, there is also... the hope that one day I can be worthy of her so that I can ask the Queen Mother to marry her.

Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever.

That year, there was an earthquake in Kyoto. He went against the crowd and broke into the Cining Palace. Although he successfully found her, he was unable to take her out in time. He only protected her under him before the house collapsed, and the roof beam was Block all the bolts.

It was the first time he was so close to her.

If he knew that getting close to her would cause her such great harm, then he would rather guard her from a distance like before.

At this point, Shen Yan couldn't help but swallow harder.

There was a mist in Mu Yunqing's eyes, and tears filled her eyelashes, which were slightly moist. She had already guessed Shen Yan's ending, but she didn't know whether Qing Yao had been successfully rescued by him.

"Qingyao, she..."

"She's fine." He closed his eyes and swallowed his breath after watching her being rescued with his own eyes. Otherwise, he might die without being able to rest in peace.

"Then before you left, did you express your feelings to her?"

"Never."

He risked his life to save her. If he had spoken at that time, even though Qingyao had no intention of him, he expected that she would agree to repay the favor of saving his life. However, his original intention was not to blackmail the favor, but what he wanted was her willingness. .

What's more, he is a dying person. If she can express her heartfelt feelings at that time, how will she deal with herself after he dies?

Qingyao is not such a cold-hearted woman. He has saved her life and shown her heart to her. He has died a hundred times, but I am afraid that it will make her uncomfortable for the rest of her life.

But all he wanted in his life was for her to be safe and happy, so he would rather bury this love with him in the ground than become a lifelong fetter for her.

Mu Yunqing's eyes showed sadness, and his voice was a little bitter when he spoke: "My cousin is so affectionate that I can feel the heaven and earth."

She used to often listen to the opera singing "There are only reverse matches in the world, how can a talented man match a beautiful woman". She thought that it was always difficult for the golden boy and the beautiful girl to stay together. She only hoped that Shen Yan and Qing Yao could change the ending of the previous life in this life.

She will do her best to help him.

"What are cousin's plans now?"

"As long as I can go to high school and want to take the imperial examination, the Queen Mother will point out Qingyao to me as my wife." This was the fastest way he could think of to tie Qingyao to his side.

Only by keeping her by his side can he have a chance to save her on the day of the earthquake, otherwise everything will be in vain.

Mu Yunqing nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "What about the Marquis Mansion?"

Thinking of this big family, Shen Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "In the past life, things happened suddenly and I was caught off guard. I will definitely not make the same mistake again in this life!"

Unexpectedly, Mu Yunqing shook his head after hearing this: "I think my cousin shouldn't 'go against the will of heaven'."

Shen Yan frowned and looked surprised.

Mu Yunqing smiled lightly and took the cold tea in his hand and poured it into the spittoon. Then he added a cup of hot tea to him and said quietly: "If someone leaves and the tea is cool, what's the point of forcing him to stay? It's better to just let it go." It’s natural and good.”

Her words were quite meaningful. Shen Yan lowered his eyes to see the scent of tea. After a moment, he said firmly: "Thank you."

"Cousin, you're welcome."

"Ms. Sun said that I am not a son of the Shen family. Even I am not sure what the truth is, but you are still willing to call me."

"Isn't it important? People are valued because they know each other, not by kinship. My cousin is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Haven't you heard the proverb, people with different surnames are not the same as people with different surnames, and compatriots are unjust and unfair to compatriots?"

Hearing this, Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly: "It's me who is narrow-minded."

Shen Yan felt a lot more relaxed after she had confided all her worries over the years, and now that Mu Yunqing was secretly helping her, everything would be done with less effort.
