"Liang'er, are you concerned about Bai Xiaolou?" Tuobo Kun's eyes flashed with a look of hurt, and the traces of sadness were performed so penetratingly. Mu Liang, who was still angry at first, suddenly saw this look in his eyes and unconsciously
He muttered something under his breath,
"Don't think so wildly!"
"Liang'er, if you are angry that I suddenly came to see you, it is because you are afraid that Bai Xiaolou will see me here and misunderstand you! Isn't that right?"
"No!" Mu Liang said firmly.
Tuobo Kun suddenly stood up, let go of his hand, and turned away from Mu Liang.
"Liang'er, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have come! I'm leaving!" After saying that, Tuobo Kun turned around and left.
"Stop!" Mu Liang didn't know what she was thinking, so she blurted out to stop him. In the past, she would have wished him to leave. But now seeing his sad and tormented back, Mu Liang's heart
It will cause pain due to pulling.
"Takubo Kun...you, if you talk nonsense again, I will strangle you to death!" Mu Liang, who has never threatened others, suddenly spoke. This sentence made King Tuo feel dumbfounded. But since he was forcing him to
If you have a cold heart, you can't be soft-hearted at this moment. Tuobo Kun curled his lips and managed to hold back his laughter.
"Okay, okay! Liang'er, you actually want to strangle me to death for Bai Xiaolou! I don't need you to do it! I'll go back and strangle myself to death!" After saying this, he dodged, turned and walked towards the window.
Mu Liang blinked, and before he could call him, Tuobo Kun's figure had already flown out of the window. He came and went like the wind, leaving only a faint smell of ambergris in the air.
"Tuobo Kun, you," Mu Liang was startled. The next moment, a knock on the door rang outside. Mu Liang suppressed the complex tugging in his eyes. He immediately arranged his clothes and walked to the door. He was originally going to open the door.
But the room was still filled with the scent of ambergris left behind by Tuo Bo Kun when he left. Mu Liang raised his eyebrows unconsciously and said lightly,
"Xiaolou, what's going on?"
"Mu Liang, what happened in the house just now?" Bai Xiaolou's tone was as calm as smoke, and there was no trace of breathing due to the fight just now. It was as if he had walked up from the first floor calmly, and
He rested for a while at the door before lazily knocking on the door.
But who knew how gloomy and depressed he was at the moment.
"It's okay, I accidentally dropped a cup just now." Mu Liang said softly. The scent of ambergris that belongs to Tuo Bo Kun is always present in this room. If he opens the door at this moment, Bai Xiaolou must know that Tuo Bo Kun is
I came here just now. In fact, even if the door is not open, Bai Xiaolou might...
"Oh. Do you want to..."
"No, let's clean it up tomorrow. You should also go to bed early." Mu Liang interrupted Bai Xiaolou softly. There was no emotion in her clear tone, but Bai Xiaolou, in her calm and indifferent tone,
The eyes gradually became filled with deep mist.
The uncontrollable feeling in my heart became more and more obvious.
"Okay, you go to bed early. We have to hurry up tomorrow." After Bai Xiaolou said this, he turned and left.
Perhaps he had never shown such a quick and decisive figure when he left the door of the Muliang Room in the past, but he had never seen such a heavy and lost figure at the moment.
Walking down the stairs step by step, he was as light as he was, but he took heavy steps that surprised everyone.
Mu Liang heard Bai Xiaolou walking downstairs with heavy steps at the door. His eyes suddenly flashed. The next moment, he lay down with his clothes on. But... he had no sleep all night. The scenes that flashed through his mind were all...
Regarding Tuo Bo Kun. Is his health better? I think when he dealt with Yu Fu, he couldn't see any abnormalities in his body, but in the blink of an eye, he was about to go to Huaqing Pool...
That man...can't let her worry!
Just leave! Where will he stay tonight? The area around here is in the wilderness, and the inn is full of carrots and pits. There are no spare rooms at all. He shouldn't be sleeping in the mountains... Mu Liang fiercely
Dei shook his head, always feeling that Tuo Bo Kun would appear soon, but until dawn, he still hadn't come back.
Mu Liang fell asleep in a daze. It felt like he was woken up by the maid outside the door just as he closed his eyes.
Mu Liang stood up while responding to the maid... Leng Buding lowered his head and caught a glimpse of the obscene clothes and pants on his body, and his eyes were startled... He was wearing clothes when he fell asleep last night, so now this is...
Tuo Bo Kun?!
Mu Liang suddenly turned over and got out of bed, but the room was empty. There was no sign of that guy, and there was no smell of ambergris on him! Mu Liang was a little confused for a moment. Could it be that he took off his clothes before going to bed and didn't remember?
Bujue frowned and looked around. She always woke up with a startle when sleeping, but even more so now that she had regained her inner strength! How could she not know that Tuobo Kun appeared in the room and even helped her take off her clothes? Mu Liang
Sitting in front of the dressing table with a mind full of doubts, the door opened and the maid brought in a clean change of clothes. Mu Liang was about to wave the maid back when he saw a faint purple mark on his neck in the bronze mirror.
…
Like a heart-shaped pattern...
With a snap, the comb in Mu Liang's hand fell to the ground. When the maid looked over, she quickly pulled a silk handkerchief on the table and wrapped it around her neck, perfectly covering the heart-shaped pattern that seemed to be a hickey.
"Eldest Princess, you..." The maid looked at Mu Liang with a puzzled face. The eldest princess always dressed simply and did not wear makeup. She never wore a scarf. What happened today? Although the little maid was thinking
Doubtful, but clever in nature, he obediently bent down and picked up the comb on the ground when he saw that the curtain was cold and silent.
After a trace of surprise flashed in Mu Liang's eyes, he straightened his clothes and went out the next moment. When he met Bai Xiaolou at the door, Bai Xiaolou was slightly startled when he saw a light purple silk scarf wrapped around Mu Liang's neck.
Then he looked at her with a smile,
"Why is Mu Liang dressed up so tenderly today?" When he said this, even he himself was not aware of the jealous look that flashed in his eyes.
Mu Liang met his eyes calmly and said calmly, "I tied it casually and had no other thoughts." After saying that, she nodded to Bai Xiaolou and turned around to get on the carriage. But Bai Xiaolou's eyes were on
The silk scarf around her neck remained motionless for a long time.
Last night... was Tuo Bokun entering her room? If so... then she suddenly put on a silk scarf, was...
Bai Xiaolou didn't allow himself to continue thinking. Everything could be guessed. But for this matter, even if he had deduced it clearly in his mind, he would rather pretend to know nothing.
Along the way, Bai Xiaolou's silence was seen in Gao Shan Yangzhi's eyes. He wanted to tell Mu Liang several times about his young master's feelings, but then he thought about what his young master was thinking when Fourth Miss Nalan had such a temper.
, how could you not know...
What's the use of what they said?
However, the journey this day was obviously much faster than before. At night, we stopped at a post station in front of us. Before Mu Liang got off the car and walked into the post station, he saw Wen Shuo walking out of the carriage on the opposite side.
.Wen Shuo followed Mu Liang's carriage along the way. Bai Xiaolou didn't stop him, and He Jie didn't say anything. If Wen Shuo wanted to follow, just let her do it.
Wen Shuo saw Mu Liang getting out of the car, and was about to say hello to Mu Liang, but He Jie carried him back. He Jie, with a dark face, carried Wen Shuo to the backyard of the inn, and the tall and burly He Jie carried Wen Shuo's
The scene is like carrying a little rabbit.
Mu Liang just glanced briefly, then withdrew his gaze and went to the second floor of the inn. The dinner that night was all served in the room. Bai Xiaolou only told her a few words at the door of the room, and then left softly. He could feel it.
Come on, what is Mu Liang waiting for on this journey today... It is self-evident what he is waiting for!
It’s Tuo Bo Kun!
He could guess it, but he couldn't admit it! Because once he exposed this fact in front of Mu Liang, how could he continue to deceive himself and others with such dignity! He must return to the Snowfield Tribe alone! Now!
, not telling the truth is the only excuse to keep going.
…
At the same time, Northern Liao Kyoto
Yelvsong, who was physically and mentally exhausted, calmed down the courtiers and returned to the Prince's Palace to rest. However, before he could lie down for a moment, he received urgent military information from the border.
"Your Highness, the Persian Holy Emperor's men broke into the prison and took Ouyang Chong away. Now..." Before the secret guard could finish speaking, he was kicked out by Yelu Song.
"Assholes! Useless things! What do I want you to do!!" Yelvsong roared. He hadn't slept much for more than ten days, and he was on the verge of mental exhaustion and was on the verge of collapse. Suddenly, he was stimulated by the news, and all of his emotions suddenly
The sleepiness disappeared.
The other secret guards knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound. The entire Prince's Palace was enveloped in a low and depressing atmosphere.
Yelvsong pulled the cloak and wrapped it heavily around his body. His facial features were obviously thinner. At first glance, he looked exactly like the Liao Emperor! After all, he was the son of the Liao Emperor. Even though he was not favored and disliked before, he has transformed now.
Later, Yelu Song undoubtedly looked more like the Liao Emperor than Yelu Zongxiao.
Yelvsong's face was ashen. The door of the hall was still open, and the cold wind blew in, blowing away all his fatigue and sleepiness. At this moment, he stared at scarlet eyes, which were filled with red bloodshot eyes. From a distance.
Looking at it, Xiao Han's gloomy aura was revealed.
At this moment, the little eunuch shouted in a thin voice, "The Queen Mother has arrived! The King of Pingxin has arrived!"
The Prince's Palace, which was originally lifeless, now has an aura of urgency and depression.
The Queen Mother and Yelu Zongxiao both arrived in a hurry. The Queen Mother was so anxious that she didn't even bring a cloak. Her bun was blown by the north wind, and a few strands of hair blew in her ears. Her gray hair seemed to be dyed with snow, but it was only ten years old.
In a few days, the Queen Mother seemed to have aged more than ten years. Yelv Zongxiao was also dressed in casual clothes, with some wrinkles on the sleeves and collar. He was obviously lying down with his clothes on, and was ready to get up at any time even when sleeping.
.
All three of them looked ugly.
"Queen Mother, Third Brother." Yelvsong greeted the two of them in a deep voice, the expression on his face becoming more solemn.
"Have the Queen Mother and Third Brother heard about it?" Yelvsong is not surprised that the Queen Mother and Yelu Zongxiao are so well-informed. After all, in the Northern Liao Palace, Yulin guards are everywhere, and their eyes and ears can be found everywhere on the palace walls. And Wu
Wan Yulin Guards all obeyed Yelu Zongxiao, and the rest of the imperial army obeyed the orders of the Liao Emperor. To obey the Liao Emperor was to obey the Queen Mother!
Therefore, Yelvsong was slower than the two of them when getting most of the news. But he didn't care about it. As she thought at the moment, it was better this way, saving him the effort of sending someone to notify them. and trouble.
The Queen Mother's face was a little pale, and she could barely sit down with the help of the palace, but she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. Yelu Zongxiao had just rushed over from the city gate, his face was ashen and cold, and he was not at all the handsome and prosperous god he used to be in the capital of Northern Liao. The girl is obsessed with the fantasy of His Highness the Third.
As the sun goes by, the more beautiful it is, the more difficult it is to accept once it is wasted.
Yelu Zongxiao had grown a beard, and his originally smooth and white chin was now more vicissitudes of life. The noble and elegant temperament faded away, but it gave him the aura of vicissitudes of experience.
"Old Jiu, this... we don't have Ouyang Chong, but..." When the Queen Mother said this, she gasped for air, and her face became frighteningly pale. The palace maid He Hua on the side hurriedly stepped forward to give the Queen Mother a pat. Looking at her back, the Queen Mother is already very old. She just rushed from Cining Palace without stopping to rest for a moment. It is inevitable that she will be a little unable to hold on now.
Yelvsong and Yelvzongxiao stepped forward at the same time to support the Queen Mother. After the Queen Mother took a breath, she opened her eyes and looked at them. She couldn't say anything else. She just felt that all she wanted to say was It's stuck in my throat, and I haven't had such a speechless and swallowing feeling for a long time...
The last time... when she witnessed the painful expression of Emperor Liao after losing the person he loved most, the Queen Mother told him that she had only felt this way since ancient times, when she said, "The most ruthless emperor's family."
Now, her only son was killed like that, and Bei Liao was in danger again. The Queen Mother never thought that when she returned to the palace this time, it would be like this! She had helped Emperor Liao fight for so many years in the harem, and it would have been long ago You should understand the truth that once you are born into an emperor's family, you have no choice! For the reputation of the royal family and the country of Northern Liao, from the moment you let go of the love in your heart, you have to give everything for this country... until the end... the end …
Yelvsong and Yelvzongxiao both looked at the Queen Mother worriedly.
For them now, although the Queen Mother cannot lead troops to fight, having the Queen Mother and the Eight Wise Kings sitting in charge of the government and the public can stabilize the hearts of a group of courtiers. The Queen Mother has loved Yelvsong and Yelvzongxiao since they were young. , although Yelvsong was mischievous and unruly, the Queen Mother had never been overly biased towards either of them. When she was still living in the palace, she would personally take care of their homework, studies, diet and daily life every month.
Therefore, in the hearts of Yelvsong and Yelvzongxiao, the status of the Queen Mother was actually more important than that of the Liao Emperor.
"The Queen Mother does not need to worry. Originally, Ouyang Chong stayed in Bei Liao, and the Holy Emperor of Persia had no scruples. I even doubt whether Ouyang Chong is the biological son of the Holy Emperor of Persia. How could he be so indifferent!"
Yelvsong naturally knew what the Queen Mother was going to say.
Before the two countries went to war, the Holy Emperor of Persia knew that Ouyang Chong was in their hands, but he insisted on starting a war. I heard that because of this matter, the four elders of Persia were angry and went to Xueyi Mountain. Together with other Persian royal families, they wanted Persia The Holy Emperor abdicates the throne! Because according to legend in ancient Persia for hundreds of years, there has never been a Holy Emperor who recklessly started a war regardless of the safety of his heirs!
The Holy Emperor of Persia not only lost the support of the four elders, but also lost the hearts and minds of the people. The ancient kingdom of Persia had long-term peace and stability, and the people's hearts and minds were stable. Most of all, they did not want to face war, and the Holy Emperor of Persia lost troops and generals in this expedition, and the people were filled with resentment. So. First of all, the Holy Emperor of Persia was troubled internally and externally!
Yelvsong had to admit that he was a little numbed by the previous victory. He never expected that the Holy Emperor of Persia would kidnap Ouyang Chong at this time. It seemed that the Holy Emperor of Persia personally sneaked into Beiliao and took away Ouyang. rush!
After the Queen Mother recovered, she held the two men's hands tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Even if the Holy Emperor of Persia does not care about any flesh and blood ties, the coming war is inevitable... You... can Be careful!"
After saying these words, the queen mother's eyes were already wet.
Yelvsong and Yelvzongxiao looked at each other, making eye contact with each other for the first time.
Yelu Zongxiao held the Queen Mother's hand with his backhand and comforted her softly, "Queen Mother, my grandson understands what you are worried about. My grandson will prove it to you with his own actions. The descendants of the Yelu family will do their best to defend the mountains and rivers of Bei Liao." !”
Yelu Zongxiao looked at the Queen Mother seriously. The moisture in the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes became even more obvious.
Yelvsong also nodded to the Queen Mother and said seriously, "Grandma, don't worry! My grandson is no longer the ignorant and mischievous child. He has grown up and knows how to distinguish between good and evil, and understands priorities! My grandson rarely screams. Your grandma, but one day your grandson will be here! The grandson will promise you! These mountains and rivers in Northern Liao will always belong to our Yelu family! Don’t worry!"
Yelvsong's assurance touched the Queen Mother's heart even more than Yelvzongxiao's.
