The next day, when Xu Jinyan went to look for Qin Mu, he was told by the maid that Li Su had invited Qin Mu to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, and that no one else could disturb him. Xu Jinyan was slightly stunned, and stood outside Qin Mu's door for a moment, then turned around and walked back silently.
He kept looking down at the ground, not noticing a figure in front of him walking towards him, until a familiar sneering voice came from the front—
"Eunuch Xu, it's already at the door, why don't you go in?" Xun Yeyu deliberately called Xu Jinyan by his previous name.
Xu Jinyan replied calmly: "The emperor was called by King Li to go to the Imperial Garden to catch up on the old days."
"Reminisce?"
Xun Yeyu glanced at the tightly closed carved wooden door, with a gloomy expression: "When old lovers meet alone, it should be to relive old dreams."
Xu Jinyan lowered his eyes, "If General Xun has nothing to do, I'll go back to my room first."
"etc."
Xun Yeyu stopped Xu Jinyan who was about to leave, "What are your plans now?"
With Li Su's current status, it is easy for him to keep someone, the key is to see if Li Su wants to. He instinctively thought that Qin Mu would not be able to leave this time.
"Stay here for a while, and then return to the extreme north with the emperor."
Hearing Xu Jinyan's gentle and clean words, Xun Yeyu raised one corner of his lips, "Do you think Qin Mu can go back?"
Xu Jinyan was silent.
There was self-mockery in the smile on the corner of his mouth, Xun Yeyu cast his eyes on the distant sky, and said quietly: "Li Su is not a soft-hearted person, if he can let Qin Mu go, he may not be able to let us go, especially you .” He paused, but didn’t say anything.
Xu Jinyan knew the meaning of Xun Yeyu's words.
He is the closest person to Qin Mu, and the queen that Qin Mu's matchmaker is marrying. If Li Su really likes Qin Mu, then Li Su will definitely not tolerate him.
His current situation is much more dangerous than Xun Yeyu's.
He is not afraid of danger, but he will never allow anyone to snatch Qin Mu away from him.
On the other side, Qin Mu was invited to come to the Royal Garden to taste the newly brewed peach blossom wine with Li Su.
Amid the aroma of the wine, Qin Mu closed his eyes slightly, put the wine to his lips and took a sip, Li Su's soft and gentle voice sounded from the opposite side: "What do you think of this wine?"
Qin Mu opened his eyes, the brilliance of his dark and deep eyes flashed, his lips curled up into a proper smile, and he said in a low voice: "This peach blossom wine is slightly astringent at first, but afterward, it can taste a touch of sweetness, and there is a tinge of sweetness between the lips and teeth. The fragrance of peach blossoms is even better than the one I drank before."
He looked at the handsome young man opposite with a smile, and asked softly: "I don't know who has such a good wine making skill. I really want to meet him."
After pouring another glass for Qin Mu, Li Su smiled faintly: "I know you like to drink, so I asked the brewer in the palace for advice. If you want to drink, I have a few jars of wine, we can slowly Drink slowly."
"So Ziqing brewed it himself."
Qin Mu smiled softly, "It's my honor to be able to drink the wine brewed by Ziqing in my lifetime."
With a gentle smile on Li Su's face, he suddenly changed the subject: "You and brother Jinyan have been married for several months, why don't you see some other concubines?"
"Before I married Qiongzhi, I promised him that he would be the only one in this life. A gentleman can't be followed by a word, and he can't regret it even if he wants to."
When Qin Mu mentioned Xu Jinyan, there was a touching look across his deep brows, Li Su tightened his fingers holding the wine glass, and looked down at the peach blossom wine in the glass, without the slightest ups and downs in his voice, he just said: "You The relationship with brother Jinyan is really good."
"I used to always want to dominate the world. When I was at my worst, he was by my side. After going through so many things, I also looked away. Now I just want to be a couple with him for the rest of my life."
"It's a good couple for a lifetime."
Li Su twitched the corners of his mouth, and when Qin Mu was drinking with his head up, he stretched out his hand to hold the right hand that was holding his cup. Reminder: "Ziqing?"
Li Su's eyes were heavy, and he locked Qin Mu's eyes, "If I want you to divorce Xu Jinyan, would you be willing?"
"What is Ziqing talking about?"
Pulling his hand away from Li Su's palm, Qin Mu put down the wine glass, and the smile on the corner of his mouth faded, "Qiong Zhi has a deep affection for me, how can I let him down."
Ignoring the thorn in his heart that was tormenting him all the time, Li Su's tone was gentle yet firm: "Qin Mu, I ignored the minister's opposition and did not kill you. I am not a good person, and I always want to get something from you." .”
Qin Mu was silent.
He heard Li Su say: "Retire Xu Jinyan, and then move to my bedroom."
Qin Mu raised his eyes and moved his lips: "I thought it was over between us."
"It's over." Li Su no longer had a smile on his face. He was slightly annoyed at Qin Mu's obsession with Xu Jinyan, "I'm also a man, and I always have desires. Before I become a queen, you can stay with me for now." I have a period of time, when the time comes, I will let you go."
So, Li Su wants to sleep with him
Li Su's ability not to kill him shows that he still has feelings for him. Should he agree first, and then wait for the opportunity to find a way to collect Li Su's pain points
Qin Mu's eyes flashed, and his tone was awkward: "But I already have Qiongzhi..."
Li Su interrupted: "Are you going to reject me?"
Qin Mu pondered for a moment, then said: "Give me some time, I want to think about it."
"Okay, I'll give you three days, I hope you can make the right choice." Li Su said.
He never got what he wanted, even if Qin Mu rejected him in the end.
—
On the way back, Qin Mu kept thinking about his next move.
Judging from the current situation, Li Su has him in his heart, but the degree of liking makes him a little unpredictable. Maybe he should find a way to make Li Su fall in love with him deeply, and then find an opportunity to dump Li Su.
He thought, what he did should make Lisu feel pain.
"Qin Mu, you are back."
Hearing Xu Jinyan's voice, Qin Mu came back to his senses and saw Xu Jinyan squatting in front of his door, apparently waiting for him.
"Why are you sitting here?"
Qin Mu took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to pull Xu Jinyan up, Xu Jinyan stood up, leaned his head on Qin Mu's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I heard from the maid that King Li asked you to go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers, he... with you Did you say something?"
Hearing that Xu Jinyan's tone concealed a hint of cautious probing, Qin Mu patted his head, pushed open the door, and said, "Go inside and talk."
The maid who followed Qin Mu also wanted to go in, but Qin Mu blocked the door and said coldly: "I want to talk to Qiong Zhi, you can wait outside for now."
"This..." the maid hesitated.
Qin Mu's tone turned cold: "If you are worried, do you want me to inform Li Su in person?"
The maid lowered her head, "I dare not."
After closing the door, Qin Mu pulled Xu Jinyan to the side of the bed, stroked his hand and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to take you away this time."
Xu Jinyan's heart sank, and although he was mentally prepared, he still said shyly, "Is it Li Su who won't let you leave?"
Qin Mu gave a low "hmm" and said slowly, "He asked me to divorce you."
The pupils in his eyes twitched slightly, and Xu Jinyan tremblingly said, "Where's your answer?"
Qin Mu was silent for a while, then sighed: "Qiongzhi, I'm sorry." Although he liked Xiao Xuzi quite a lot, in order to complete the task, he had no choice but to let him down.
"I see."
Xu Jinyan raised his head and slowly blinked away the mist in his eyes. He already knew that this day would come. These days with Qin Mu seemed to be stolen by him. Now, he wants to give Qin Mu back.
The forbearance and fragile expression of the young man fell into Qin Mu's eyes. He stretched out his hand to embrace Xu Jinyan in his arms, touched the tip of his ear with his warm lips, and said in an extremely gentle voice, "I don't know when Li Su will let me go. , but I can assure you that one day, I will come back to reunite with you."
Will that day really happen
Burying his face into Qin Mu's chest, Xu Jinyan hid the haze in his eyes. He wanted to tell Qin Mu that he didn't want the future, he only wanted the present.
But he also knew that he couldn't change Qin Mu's decision.
Since it couldn't be changed, Xu Jinyan lowered his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was like a flower blooming in the dark night, but his voice was so distressing, "I'll wait for you, but in the meantime, can you accompany me to travel in the territory of Li country?" Treat it as the last gift you gave me."
Qin Mu didn't notice Xu Jinyan's abnormality, he thought for a moment, and said: "Okay, I promise you." It was just a trip with Xiao Xuzi, and he believed that Li Su would not object.
In fact, Li Su did not object, but he offered to go with them.
Qin Mu has no objection.
Xun Yeyu didn't want to be the only one, but also went with them. In the end, the original two became a foursome, plus a group of mysterious shadow guards behind Li Su secretly protecting him.
Compared with Xuan Kingdom and Xun Kingdom, the capital of Li Kingdom is undoubtedly much more prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and harmony.
Under the leadership of Li Su, the host, they experienced the beautiful scenery of Li country and traveled through many mountains and rivers. On the eve of returning to the palace, Xu Jinyan proposed to sleep with Qin Mu.
This proposal was naturally opposed by Li Su and Xun Yeyu.
Xu Jinyan smiled and said, "I won't do anything to Qin Mu, I just want to talk to him alone before I leave."
Seeing his forced smile and the fact that he had betrayed little Xu Zi, Qin Mu took his hand, turned to Li Su and said, "Ziqing, I have never asked you anything, now I want to say goodbye to Qiongzhi, can you promise me?"
Li Su glanced at Xu Jinyan indifferently, only to see that the other party lowered his head, with a sad and downcast look on his brows and eyes. When he was in Xuan Kingdom, he had brief contact with Xu Jinyan. He knew that Xu Jinyan was not a simple person, but he never thought that Xu Jinyan could become Qin Mu's queen in one fell swoop.
He couldn't trust Xu Jinyan, and always felt that Xu Jinyan had some other tricks, but when he thought about it carefully, Xu Jinyan was powerless now, so how could he be his opponent.
Maybe he was worrying too much.
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Li Su's mouth, "Okay, you two are married, and I will always give you a chance to say goodbye."
Xun Yeyu's expression on the side was complicated, but he had no reason to object.
