"Then... don't disturb your rest."
The hoarse and astringent voice was close to the ears, but Mu Jinze beside him did not move.
Qin Mu waited for a while, and found that the young man was still looking at him with gentle eyes. He thought, everything is his own guess. He took his heart rashly, so he acquiesced in Mu Jinze's existence in order to get what he wanted to know from him.
Turning over and facing the young man, Qin Mu blinked and asked softly, "Why did you keep me?"
Seemingly not expecting Qin Mu to ask this question, the young man was taken aback for a moment.
Qin Mu continued: "Before it was given to you as a gift, I heard someone mention that you have a lover who has been dead for many years, and you have never had a new lover because of him." Sensing the way Mu Jinze looked at him When it turned thick, Qin Mu's heart skipped a beat, "Then you... why did you keep me by your side?"
He knew that he was exposing Mu Jinze's scars by saying these words, and he was betting on how far Mu Jinze could tolerate him.
The young man didn't speak, but stared at him in the dark with a kind of deep eyes that Qin Mu couldn't understand. His eyes were like a thick, unmelted night, which surrounded Qin Mu closely without feeling oppressed. Under his ocean-like gaze, Qin Mu had an illusion, as if he was Mu Jinze's beloved lover.
Gathering his mind, Qin Mu's thin lips inspired him, and gently reminded: "Jin Ze?"
Mu Jinze withdrew his gaze and bent the corners of his lips. His lips were very beautiful, and the corners of his mouth were naturally upturned. Even when he was not smiling, he was full of affection.
"Do you care about this?"
With a faint smile in his eyes, the young man asked.
Of course I don't care.
Qin Mu replied in his heart, but his lips were pursed on purpose, pretending to pretend he didn't care, "No."
He moved closer to Qin Mu, put his delicate and soft fingertips on the corners of Qin Mu's mouth, and pulled the corners of Qin Mu's mouth to the side, and Mu Jinze smiled in a soft and soft voice: "No ?”
Qin Mu followed his words, and spoke slowly in an awkward tone: "Is it because I look a lot like your dead lover that you will keep me?"
With ten fingers retracted, Mu Jinze's voice froze: "Why do you say that?"
"I guessed wildly." Qin Mu lowered his eyes, "You haven't had a partner for a hundred years, and the elders of those big families must have sent you beauties. Why didn't you choose anyone but me? It must be Because I look a lot like that guy."
As he said that, Qin Mu paused, his gaze skipped over Mu Jinze's dark eyebrows, and he said in a bitter tone: "Jinze, I don't like being used as a stand-in."
"Who said you are a stand-in!" Mu Jinze blurted out.
Qin Mu's eyes darkened, and his light-colored lips mumbled, "Isn't it really a substitute?"
"of course not."
Realizing that his emotions were agitated, Mu Jinze quietly took a deep breath, and held Qin Mu's hands in his palms, "The previous things are over, and the person I like now is you." The young man lowered his head, softly His lips wanted to stick to the back of Qin Mu's hand, but he didn't kiss because he was worried about something.
He raised his eyes, fixed Qin Mu's eyes with that clear and clear gaze, and said in a gentle voice that made people tremble: "You just need to know that in a short time, under the witness of everyone, I will marry you as my princess .”
Although he had already heard the news from those people during the day, Qin Mu was still a little surprised to hear it from Mu Jinze himself.
What the hell is this Mu Jinze doing
Could it be that his previous guesses were all wrong, did Mu Jinze really like him and wanted to marry him
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Qin Mu in a daze, the young man's voice became a little tense: "Are you unwilling to marry me?"
"How could it be?" Qin Mu came back to his senses, and held Mu Jinze's hands in turn: "I'm so happy." Mu Jinze is so eager to marry him, is there a possibility, Mu Jin Ze knew himself two hundred years ago, but how should he explain the person in the crystal coffin
…
Three days later, Mu Jinze publicly announced on the nationwide broadcast information platform that he was going to marry the princess. Originally, this news had already been widely circulated among the people, but now Mu Jinze took the initiative to announce it, which is tantamount to confirming the rumors.
Countless people were curious about what the future princess would look like, and they all expressed their most sincere blessings to the fact that General Mu finally wanted to establish a princess.
And the patriarchs of the four major families don't look very good. They know that once Mu Jinze has made a decision, no one can make him change his mind. He can't help it either.
That night they called an urgent meeting on the matter.
The result of the discussion is that since Mu Jinze can't take back his decision, they can find a way to kill the man named Qin Mu. When Mu Jinze pursues it, with the power of their four major families, Mu Jinze can't easily move them.
After the meeting, Xie Yan, who stepped out of the conference hall, couldn't help but elbow Di Yiming's arm beside him, "Are we really going to kill that man?"
Di Yiming paused, thinking of Qin Mu's stunning face, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed, but his strong self-discipline made him calm down quickly, and squinted at Xie Yan, "Why, reluctant?"
"No." Xie Yan avoided Di Yiming's gaze, "I just think he is innocent, just because General Mu has taken a fancy to him, we are going to kill him, which is a bit inhumane."
Xia Xing was silent for a while, "This is the decision made by father, we can only obey." Then, he turned his head to look at Mu Huai who was the only one who didn't express his opinion, "Do you think we should kill that man?"
Although Mu Huai has a good relationship with them, but because he has a good relationship with everyone, he feels that Mu Huai's thoughts are hidden deep, but he has a vague feeling that Mu Huai is not as respectful to his elder brother as he seems on the surface. They are clearly brothers, but there is a gully between them.
As soon as Xia Xing said this, Di Yiming and Xie Yan cast their eyes on him at the same time, Mu Huai coughed twice, and said in a hoarse voice: "There is no right or wrong, only worth it or not, what do you think he deserves?" If death can benefit the family, then he deserves to die."
"Yes." Looking at the twilight moonlight, Xia Xing sighed in a low voice, and then asked Mu Huai in a concerned tone: "Is your body okay?" Speaking of which, since he and Mu Huai met , he knew that Mu Huai's health was very bad. It is reasonable to say that Mu's family has the top medical equipment. It is unbelievable for them to get sick, but it is really strange that Mu Huai's illness has not recovered.
Mu Huai tightened his fingers holding the handkerchief, "Fortunately, anyway, I won't die for a while."
After hearing this, Xia Tian moved his lips, but didn't say anything else.
In fact, Mu Huai is older than all of them, and only a few years younger than their father. According to their seniority, they should call Mu Huai an uncle, but the genes of the Mu family are too strong. Huai's appearance didn't change at all, he looked a few years younger than them when he walked with them, but their father's face showed signs of aging.
Because of Mu Huai's seniority, whenever an important decision needs to be made, the fathers of the few of them will always call Mu Huai and refer to his opinion.
After parting ways with them, Mu Huai returned to his villa.
He went to the study room and only lit a dark and narrow desk lamp, which was quite old. The copper lampshade was retro in style, and the old one became an antique. Leaning his back on the back of the chair, Mu Huai slowly closed his eyes. The dim light shrouded him. His eye sockets were sunken, and the corners of his mouth were slightly downward. lonely.
After a while, he opened his eyes, and pressed a button on the desk with his bony fingers, only to hear a snap, and a wooden circular painting tube carved with ancient patterns popped out. Opening the cover, Mu Huai took out a painting from inside, spread the painting out on the desk, and a man wearing a gorgeous mask was vividly printed on the painting.
I saw the person in the painting holding a bloody human head in his hand, the eyes hidden behind the mask seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and the powerful aura around him could be felt even through the painting.
Like the desk lamp, this painting is also old, and the paper is a little yellowed, but every strand of the man's hair in the painting is clear and vivid, as if it really lived on the painting. The prototype of this painting is a photo, which he accidentally discovered from Mu Jinze's study a hundred years ago. He secretly took the photo at that time, then enlarged the photo, and perfectly reproduced it on the painting according to the proportion of the human body.
He didn't know why he did it.
Like he didn't know why he was hostile to his brother.
"Half-beast king."
He muttered, his fingertips landed on the painting, and slowly traced the edge of the golden mask worn by the man in the painting.
I really look forward to the moment when the half-beast king wakes up.
His eyes were filled with a strange and monstrous brilliance, and under the dim light, the young man's thin face unexpectedly had a look of fanaticism.
…
Mu Jinze's request to Qin Mu can be said to be obedient and obedient.
When Qin Mu proposed to handle government affairs with him in the study, Mu Jinze only thought for a second before agreeing with a pampering expression. He specially ordered a set of sofas, and ordered someone to carry the sofa to the study. When he was busy with political affairs, Qin Mu would lie on the sofa and read books and newspapers.
Mu Jinze's study is not as mysterious as Qin Mu imagined, except for those high-tech communication equipment, the study's layout is no different from that in real life.
Qin Mu didn't expect Mu Jinze to be so reassuring to him, but it would be easier for him to find the key to the crystal coffin. Yes, his goal was not to find some half-beast king, but to steal the corpse in the crystal coffin .
