Obviously, Xue Jinghua is evading and is unwilling to tell the story between her and Mu Jingyan.
Chaoyang took a step back with weak fingers and changed the question. "How did you and my mother meet, and why did you give her a retreat?"
Xue Jinghua was silent for a long time and then spoke in a low voice. "She came to beg me, saying that she was pregnant with Mu Jingyan's child. In order to let you survive... in order to let Mu Jingyan survive."
Bai Li is so smart, she seemed to know when she left Kyoto that they might not be able to escape, and if they couldn't escape...then they would have to die.
"She knew from the beginning that Mu Jingyan would die..." Chaoyang took a step back again, his eyes were extremely red and swollen. "Is there any truth in her mouth..."
Is he really Mu Jingyan's child? Or is this an excuse used by Bai Li to trick Xue Jinghua into poisoning him?
"Why are you so sure that I am Mu Jingyan's child and you gave her the poison?" Chaoyang's emotions were on the verge of losing control. Her thoughts were very confused and confused.
"I have also doubted whose child you are... I don't care at all, but Mu Jingyan does. He cares about your life, whether you can be born smoothly, and even whether you can survive smoothly."
Mu Jingyan cares so much about Chaoyang's life and death. Whether he is Mu Jingyan's child or not is no longer important to Xue Jinghua.
"You and your mother are really similar. We are worthy of being mother and daughter, especially when you threaten me." Xue Jinghua smiled bitterly and stood up holding his wrists.
Both Baili and Chaoyang are scary, especially because they are good at reading people's hearts.
Back then Baili also used her secret to threaten her...
But what Baili knew was not that she was a daughter, but that...she had feelings for Mu Jingyan that she shouldn't have.
Xue Jinghua was afraid of Bai Li, especially her bottomless eyes. Every word she spoke was intimidating.
As for Bai Li, everything she does has her purpose.
"She said that if I didn't give her hermitage, Mu Jingyan would die. That was the last time I saw Baili, at the post station at Fengtian Border Pass." At that time, Baili found her in panic and forced her to hand over the money.
Go into seclusion.
At that time, Xue Jinghua roughly guessed that something might happen to Mu Jingyan.
But at least, with Guiyuan, he can still survive.
"My mother never wanted Mu Jingyan to die from the beginning, but it can be seen that she was taking advantage of Mu Jingyan from the beginning." Chaoyang felt very pathetic, and felt pathetic and worthless for Mu Jingyan.
She didn't know what Bai Li was thinking. "In her eyes, my father and I... are both pawns."
At least she and Mu Jingyan are both targets that Baili can take advantage of.
"Chaoyang, you are the person he protects with his life. I will not harm you, nor will I let you die, but my abilities are limited..." Xue Jinghua looked at Chaoyang nervously. Now that Changsun Wuxie is back, he is back for revenge.
of.
Changsun Wuxie must not be underestimated. He will be a big variable in the future.
Now, she stayed in Fengtian because of the promise she made to the late emperor. The late emperor promised to keep Changsun Wuxie alive, and she promised the late emperor to stay in Fengtian Palace.
When everything is settled, she will leave sooner or later and stop asking about these things.
What's more, she was scared and tired.
She is afraid of her eldest grandson Wuxie, she is also afraid of Chaoyang, and she is even more afraid of Baili, whose life or death is unclear.
Chaoyang looked at Xue Jinghua silently, maybe this person was really not an enemy.
But she can't trust anyone now, and she can't easily let anyone know that Mu Jingyan is still alive.
"There is no cure for seclusion? Unless people wake up from their dreams, right?" Chaoyang asked again in a hoarse voice.
Xue Jinghua nodded, with hope in his eyes.
Maybe her guess was right and Mu Jingyan was really not dead.
And Chaoyang is the key to getting him back.
"Chaoyang!" Seeing Chaoyang about to leave, Xue Jinghua stood up in panic. "No matter whether he is your father or not, he loves you very much. Your life was given by him. If you have any news about him, please... help he."
Chaoyang did not look back, but said lightly, "You don't need to remind me."
She will do it.
Mu Jingyan used his life to protect Chaoyang and Baili, mother and daughter, and they owed it to Mu Jingyan.
Everything is just a cycle of cause and effect.
…
Changchun Garden.
"General Mu Huaicheng came with news, saying that this grand gathering in the Western Regions has been decided, and he is the general who will follow." He Gu reminded in a low voice when he saw Chaoyang.
Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, okay... Mu Huaicheng is going too.
"Chunlan, go ask the queen for the token. I want to see Shen Qingzhou." She will cure the little prince, but Shen Yunrou must keep her promise first.
A sword belongs to a general. Mu Jingyan's sword belongs to the Mu family, so it should be returned to Mu Huaicheng.
At least, for this Western Region feast, his brother deserves the best in terms of abilities and weapons.
"Shen Cheng...will Shen Qingzhou give the sword to the lady?" He Gu was a little worried.
"He will." Chaoyang walked out of the inner hall, holding the unopened music box in his hand. "Didn't you say that this is the secret that Shen Qingzhou wants to solve the most? Bai Xiaotang can't solve it, but I can, as long as he gives me what I want, I will unlock the music box."
He Gu looked at Chaoyang in shock and said nothing.
…
Royal study room.
The heavy rain only lasted for a while, and just as Xing Yi said, he even calculated the timing of the rain accurately.
Xiao Junze walked into the courtyard and saw Xiao Chengen standing in the courtyard soaked to the skin.
"Brother, why didn't you enter the inner hall and get soaked in the rain outside?" Xiao Junze said with deep meaning.
Xiao Chengen sneered, hating Xiao Junze's hypocrisy the most. "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Xiao Junze is still afraid of Shen Qingzhou, so Xiao Chengen knows that Xiao Junze will not kill him easily, but he will also become more and more wary of him.
After taking out Shen Qingzhou, he will be the next person.
Sometimes, people don’t just want the fruit from the tree, but if you don’t pick it, you will starve to death.
All this is forced by the situation.
If he didn't plan ahead or rebel, Xiao Junze wouldn't let him live.
"I will go to the grand gathering in the Western Regions in person, and I will be there to help you, the Emperor." Xiao Junze said meaningfully, which probably meant that if he was no longer in the palace, then Xiao Chengen would have to be careful about Shen Qingzhou.
No matter who gets rid of Shen Qingzhou or Xiao Chengen, Xiao Junze will be the one who benefits.
"Your Majesty, you should worry more about yourself." Going to the Western Regions in person, how peaceful do you think this journey will be?
He will kill Xiao Junze, and Shen Qingzhou and Shen Yunrou are naturally waiting for this day.
If Xiao Junze died on the road, both Shen Qingzhou and Shen Yunrou would be happy.
"Is this position really that good?" Xiao Junze paused for a moment and looked back at Xiao Chengen.
Xiao Chengen was stunned for a moment, then sneered. "If it's not good, your Majesty will go to great lengths?"
Xiao Junze lowered his eyes and said nothing.
He does not need to explain, and too many explanations are useless.
The knife hurts the most only when it's on one's own body.
For this position, brothers turned against each other and father and son became enemies...
"When you can't live without getting this position, you will have no choice but to do so." Xiao Chengen raised his hands to bow and saluted Xiao Junze as a king.
If everyone can live a fair life, this position really does not have much appeal to Xiao Chengen.
