"I, we, we didn't go anywhere, I..."
Mu Qing hurriedly wanted to explain, but he hesitated and did not dare to tell what was going on. However, Zhou Chen spoke at this time.
"We went to Ningxiang Pavilion."
"Ningxiang Pavilion?"
Although Mu Nihuang is a woman and has never been to those places, it does not mean that she does not understand. As soon as she heard the name, she knew it was not a good place, so her face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Mu Qing!"
Mu Qing's body trembled, and Zhou Chen saw that his posture was wrong and quickly left.
"Princess, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first."
After saying that, he ran away regardless of Mu Nihuang's reaction, let alone Mu Qing's pleading eyes.
Mu Nihuang ignored Zhou Chen and stared at Mu Qing coldly.
"Mu Qing, you are really brave now. Brother Chen is our guest, and you actually took him to a place like that."
"Sister, it's actually not me..."
Mu Qing wanted to say that this was not his idea, but Mu Nihuang wouldn't listen at all and shouted angrily.
"You are not allowed to sleep tonight. Go to the ancestral hall and kneel."
"elder sister……"
"Go now, don't let me do it myself."
Mu Qing was so frightened that he no longer dared to speak. He could only hold his head and went to the ancestral hall in grievance.
Mu Qing knelt in the ancestral hall all night and naturally couldn't go to class the next day. Zhou Chen also had a relaxing day of rest.
At midnight, Zhou Chen did not fall asleep. Instead, he stood in the room neatly dressed. He looked around the bedroom where he had lived for a few days, then placed an envelope on the desk and pressed it with an inkstone.
.
Carrying the bag he had already packed on his back, he opened the door without hesitation, directly raised his inner strength, and flew into the air. With only two ups and downs, he was about to fly out of Prince Mu's Mansion.
But just when he was about to jump out of Prince Mu's palace, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"Brother Chen, where are you going in the middle of the night?"
Zhou Chen's body stiffened suddenly and he landed on the wall, and then he saw Mu Nihuang standing outside the wall.
He laughed dryly and asked: "Princess, it's so late and you haven't rested yet. Are you like me, planning to stay up late to watch the sunrise?"
Mu Nihuang stared at Zhou Chen with bright eyes. Even in the dark night, Zhou Chen could feel her sharp gaze.
"Do you need to carry such a big package to watch the sunrise? Brother Chen, I think your view of the sunrise is fake. Is it true that you want to leave without saying goodbye?"
Zhou Chen knew that sophistry was useless, so he stopped defending. After a moment of silence, he said: "Princess, I know it is not good to do this, but I do have a reason to leave. If I offend the princess, then
It's my fault, and I would like to apologize."
Mu Nihuang asked in a cold tone: "Brother Chen left overnight because Nihuang made Brother Chen feel embarrassed?"
Zhou Chen smiled dryly and said: "What did the princess say? I admire the princess's heavenly appearance, so how can I feel embarrassed."
"Brother Chen has been deliberately avoiding me these past few days. Do you really think I can't tell? If I said that I wanted you to stay in Prince Mu's Mansion, would you be willing?"
Speaking of this, Mu Nihuang's voice obviously changed strangely, and his eyes were full of expectation.
The topic was raised like this, Zhou Chen was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"It is my honor that the princess looks up to me, but I was born a prodigal and will not stay in one place forever. Moreover, I am just a man in the world, and I am not worthy of the princess's favor."
"So you deliberately took Qing'er to that kind of place to let me know what kind of person you are and make me hate you, right? But don't you think this strategy is too absurd?
?”
Zhou Chen didn't know what to say. He admitted that he took Mu Qing to Goulan to listen to music, and he did mean to show it to Mu Nihuang, but the oiran of Ningxiang Pavilion was really sweet.
"If you don't speak, you are acquiescing. Chen Yu, let me tell you, I, Mu Nihuang, am not someone who is easily deceived. Your approach is of no use to me. If you really want to reject me, then give me a better reason.
, let me give up completely." Mu Nihuang said firmly.
Zhou Chen almost blurted out: "I can't be sorry, little..."
Before he could say the last word, he immediately stopped. His heart beat faster in fright, and he was almost tricked by Mu Nihuang into saying Xiao Shu's name.
Mu Nihuang keenly felt that what Zhou Chen didn't say was important, and asked: "You can't be sorry for what?"
Zhou Chen said: "I already have someone I love. What I want to say is that I can't be sorry to her."
Mu Nihuang's body trembled, she looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief, jumped up, and landed less than two meters away from Zhou Chen.
"You said you already have someone you love? You are lying to me."
"I didn't lie to you, I do have someone I love."
"Impossible. The fact that you are ranked second on the list of Langya Masters means that you are not married..."
Zhou Chen suddenly interrupted: "Just because I'm not married doesn't mean I don't have someone I love."
Mu Nihuang obviously couldn't accept this result, and her breath became unstable. After a long time, she asked in a solemn voice: "I want to know, who is she?"
She still had a glimmer of hope, but Zhou Chen deliberately made up the reason just to make her give up.
Zhou Chen saw Mu Nihuang's expression, and with Mu Nihuang's intelligence and sensitivity, he knew that if he told lies, he would most likely be betrayed.
"Her name is Gong Yu. I have known her for five years. Whenever I come home from traveling, she is responsible for taking care of me. No matter what I do outside, she will support me unconditionally, so even if I lose everything
People will definitely not let her down."
After hearing this, Mu Nihuang's chest rose and fell, and her breath became more unstable. After a long time, she let out a low cry.
"Let's go, I don't want to see you again."
Although Zhou Chen couldn't bear it, he still gritted his teeth and quickly disappeared into the night.
He believed that Mu Nihuang would be sad for a while at most. This woman was stronger than most men. This thing about him and this person would definitely not affect her for long.
He left overnight because he was afraid that if he continued to get along with Mu Nihuang, he would sink into it. He couldn't let Mei Changsu go.
Sometimes he feels that he is hypocritical, but there are some bottom lines that he must abide by.
Mu Nihuang clenched her hands and gritted her teeth. Even her lips were bleeding and she didn't care.
"Chen Yu, Gong Yu, Gong Ziyu, is that so?"
………………
Two years later!
In two years, whether it is long or short, a lot of things have happened in the world.
With the help of Langya Pavilion, the name of Jiangzuo Meilang has spread all over the world in the past two years. With the deliberate propaganda of Jiangzuo League, it has even spread to Jinling.
Especially among the princes of Northern Yan, the sixth prince with the least background ascended to the throne of the East Palace with the help of Jiangzuo Meilang.
This immediately stimulated the Crown Prince and Prince Yu of Daliang, who were competing for the position of the East Palace, and both of them began to inquire about the information about the 'Qilin Talented Man, Jiangzuo Meilang', thinking of recruiting Mei Changsu to their ranks.
Langzhou, Jiangzuo League headquarters.
In the pavilion, Mei Changsu and Lin Chen were sitting on the floor, sipping tea.
Lin Chen was still the same as before, dressed casually, with his hair disheveled, looking like a bohemian young man.
Mei Changsu was wearing a gray-white high-collar cloth. Although he was the leader of the Jiangzuo League and had no shortage of money, he didn't care about his own dress or how to make it comfortable. What mattered more was keeping warm.
Lin Chen asked: "Chang Su, have you really decided to go to Beijing with Xiao Jingrui and the other two young masters?"
Mei Changsu replied slowly: "The two of them have noble status and are not involved in government affairs, so it is most suitable. This matter must have a beginning. If I don't go with them, am I expected to accept the offer from the Crown Prince and Prince Yu?"
Recruit and come to Beijing as a counselor?"
Lin Chen worriedly said: "Xiao Jingrui did not participate in the fight for the legitimate son, but his father, Ning Guohou Xie Yu, did not. Wouldn't it be too risky for you to live directly in Xie's Mansion? Have you discussed this matter with your junior brother?
