After quickly eating the beef noodles, Mu Yunjin and Miss Qing said hello and said goodbye, then got up and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
After Mu Yunjin left, the customers who had just started to fill up the seats at the beef stall also stood up one after another and hid in all directions.
Miss Qing glanced at the suddenly empty seats all around, and smiled wryly. Now, if she wanted to approach her and say a few words, she would have to use all of her subordinates.
When Mu Yunjin came to the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Li and Qu Xinyao were sitting in the hall, seeing Mu Yunjin stepping into the door, Qu Xinyao's lips curled into a bright smile.
"Concubine Ning came just in time." Qu Xinyao pursed her lips, and handed over a golden memorial in her hand.
Mu Yunjin was a little curious about the memorial, but when she unfolded it to read, she found that it was Emperor Ximing's reply letter to Qu Xinyao. After glancing at the contents of the letter, she let out a cry of surprise.
"The emperor actually ordered to catch Qiuye, and cut off Qin Muyue's title?" Mu Yunjin was a little incredulous.
Qu Xinyao's eyes revealed a hint of arrogance, and she raised her brows, "I said, how could this Emperor Ximing not sell my face, but I heard that old Qiuye said that he was in seclusion and couldn't show up."
"That's enough." Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, looked sharply, and then sat down beside him.
Hearing this, Qu Xinyao gave Mu Yunjin a peevish look, "It's useless, so what's the point, if you just order Qiu Ye and Qin Muyue to be killed, that's enough."
Mu Yunjin twitched the corners of her mouth, unable to reply.
"By the way, Chu Ye's crown prince canonization ceremony will be held next month. I heard that people from the four countries will come. Now I only hear that Donglin Kingdom sent the crown prince Rong Jiu. What about the other Nanting Kingdom and Beiming Kingdom?" Qu Xinyao changed the subject.
Chu Li took a sip of his tea, his eyes flickered, "Beitang, the monarch of Beiming Kingdom, will be there in person after hearing the news. As for Nanting Kingdom, I don't know yet."
"This is interesting. People from the other three kingdoms gather in Xiyuan Kingdom. In this prosperous age, I will go to meet for a while no matter what." Qu Xinyao said with a smile.
Mu Yunjin supported her head, and realized that she didn't know anything about the state affairs that Chu Li and Qu Xinyao were talking about, and she couldn't get in a word.
So, this is probably the reason why Qu Xinyao can become a strange woman in everyone's mouth, but she is a fool in everyone's mouth.
After chatting for a while, Mu Yunjin didn't see Xu Heyu here, guessing that Qu Xinyao was serious, she drove him back.
…
After having lunch at Qu Xinyao's mansion, Mu Yunjin and Chu Li walked on the road to Qing's Mansion.
"Go back to the imperial city in the future." After walking a few steps, Chu Li looked down at Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin nodded, "It's enough to stay here, I happen to miss that girl Zixiang too..."
Hearing this, Chu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a rare trace of evil in his eyes, "This king is by your side, are you still thinking about others?"
"His Royal Highness King Ning, actually fighting with a little girl?" Mu Yunjin was in a good mood for no reason, and teased her bitterly.
"Don't think about others." Chu Li was a little angry, reached out and knocked Mu Yunjin on the head, and continued to walk forward.
Mu Yunjin let out a sigh, chased after her, and reached out to hold Chu Li's arm, "Yes, yes, my concubine must obey His Royal Highness King Ning's order."
"Stupid." Chu Li spit out a word lightly, but there was a pleasant smile on his brows and eyes.
The two quarreled and joked all the way to the door of Qingfu, when Mu Yunjin took out the door key and was about to open the door, Chu Li's figure paused, then frowned, and whispered to Mu Yunjin, "You go in first. "Mu Yunjin glanced at Chu Li, then nodded, opened the gate of the house, and walked in.
…
At this time, Miss Qing was shuttling through an alley, and kept turning to the depths of the alley. Originally, she was waiting for Mu Yunjin to come back at the gate of the Qing Mansion, and she just wanted to catch a glimpse of Mu Yunjin from a distance.
But Chu Li seemed to have noticed his whereabouts.
After running for a short time, Miss Qing caught a glimpse of the person standing at the end of the alley, and exclaimed in surprise. When she wanted to retreat, the person in front had already turned around and met her gaze.
Miss Qing was stunned, and a group of subordinates behind her also loomed up, blocking in front of Miss Qing, looking at the chilling Chu Li in front of her with hostile eyes.
"You step back." Qing girl took a breath and ordered these subordinates.
Those people were slightly taken aback, but they obediently listened to the master's words and scattered around.
"What advice does His Highness King Ning have?" Miss Qing tried her best to keep her emotions calm, and looked at Chu Li standing in front of her with a smile.
Chu Li looked at the person standing in front of him and the smile on his face, and suddenly seemed to see another familiar figure.
So she looked away, took out the moon-white jade pendant in her sleeve, held the tassel on the jade pendant, and hung the jade pendant in front of Miss Qing.
"Is this your thing?"
After seeing the jade pendant, Miss Qing subconsciously took a step back, panic flashed in her eyes, but in the next second she was covered by tears that she could no longer hold back.
"Jiang Qingxue, the Saintess of Nanting Kingdom." Chu Li directly said Qing girl's name, and looked at the person in front of him with deep eyes.
When Miss Qing heard this title, she smiled wryly a few times, lowered her eyes, tears dripped from her eye sockets, and there was a severe pain in her heart, which almost made her breathless.
It has been sixteen years, and she has concealed the matter for a full sixteen years, and now she is being pushed away in front of her eyes like this, and she has mixed feelings in her heart, and she can't tell what it feels like.
"Yes, it's me."
After a while, Jiang Qingxue sorted out her emotions, and faced Chu Li calmly, "Yunjin is my daughter."
Hearing this, Chu Li tensed his body, and looked at the person in front of him with complicated eyes. He had already noticed this young girl who frequently appeared beside Mu Yunjin in the past few days, and he heard Song Chun mention the beef noodle stall again this morning. , Instinctively, there must be something wrong with this young girl, and thinking of the name Jiang Qingxue, the saint of Nanting Kingdom, he vaguely connected the only bond between Qing girl and Mu Yunjin.
After thinking about it, a cold and uncomfortable voice came, "Next, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Qingxue bit her lips, and smiled helplessly, "It's fine for you and me to know about this, don't let Yun Jin know, as long as I know that she is living well now, that's enough, and I don't care about anything else. Extravagant expectations, after all, I have not fulfilled the responsibility of being a mother for a day."
"Yeah." Chu Li nodded lightly.
"You are Yun Jin's husband, I hope you will take care of her more in the future." Jiang Qingxue said leisurely, with an inexplicable sense of relief in her heart.
Chu Li frowned, "This king will."
After finishing speaking, Chu Li asked again, "Who is Mu Yunjin's biological father?"
Jiang Qingxue's originally calm mood was disturbed by this question again, and she pursed her lips, "He is already dead, so there is no need to pay too much attention."
"I'm going first." Jiang Qingxue said, thinking of something, she turned around and looked at Chu Li again, "I will represent Nan Tingguo to attend the crown prince's canonization ceremony next month. After participating in the canonization ceremony, I will not I will appear in front of Yunjin again." After saying that, Jiang Qingxue turned around and walked out of the alley.
After Jiang Qingxue left, Huang Yan loomed from one side, walked up to Chu Li, and sighed, "Young Master, look at your mother-in-law, your looks and temperament are exactly the same as your wife's." of."
Chu Li cast a sideways glance at Huang Yan. When Huang Yan saw this cold gaze, he immediately covered his mouth and patted him a few times.
…
Mu Yunjin sat on the swing in the garden, swaying to and fro. When footsteps came from behind her, Mu Yunjin looked back.
Chu Li was slowly walking towards Mu Yunjin's direction. After the two met their eyes, they smiled tacitly.
"Why did you go?" Mu Yunjin spoke as soon as Chu Li sat down.
Chu Li smiled lowly, "Meet someone you know, let's say hello."
"Are you sure?" Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows, "What kind of acquaintance wants you to go and say hello in person?"
"You will know later." Chu Li smiled slightly, then took out the moon-white jade pendant, and gently stroked the word 'Yunjin' on it.
"Why is your name engraved on this jade pendant?" Chu Li asked knowingly.
Mu Yunjin reached out to take the jade pendant, and looked down at the two words that were almost invisible under her eyes, "It is said that it is related to my life experience."
Chu Li nodded knowingly, and said, "Then do you expect your family to find you?"
"There's nothing to look forward to." Mu Yunjin sighed slightly, she didn't belong to this era at all, and her closest relatives are also the family members of this skin, not hers, it doesn't matter if they are there or not.
After hearing her answer, Chu Li softened his eyes a little, stretched out his hand to pull her over, and sat in his arms, "If you don't expect it, don't expect it, the king will accompany you."
Mu Yunjin hugged Chu Li, buried her head in his chest, feeling his warm embrace and the beating of his heart, a smile gradually appeared on her lips.
Who said that Chu Li can't talk about love, thousands of words can't be worth a sentence of my king staying with you.
"Concubine Rong is still trapped by the formation. Last time when the soul of the black lotus was in my body, the method of breaking the formation disappeared. What should I do now?" Mu Yunjin suddenly remembered this.
I remember that when I first met Chu Li, he went to Shuiyun Temple in every possible way to try to break the formation. He must also be thinking about Concubine Rong in his heart!
But Taoist Fengxuan told her again that Concubine Rong is not a simple character, and now she feels a little conflicted in her heart.
"Wait for the opportunity." Chu Li only answered three words plainly.
Mu Yunjin nodded and stopped talking.
…
On the carriage back to Butterfly Flower City, I don’t know if it’s been a long time since I went back. At this moment, Mu Yunjin actually felt like returning home. Ever since she got on the carriage, she has been lying by the window, looking at the scenery outside.
"So happy?" Chu Li stared at Mu Yunjin's back, with a smile in his words as well.
"En." Mu Yunjin didn't even turn her head.
Chu Li smiled lightly, leaning against the carriage, thinking about how fruitful this trip to Qingzhou was.
Two hours later, the carriage stopped at the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Mu Yunjin jumped out of the carriage and glanced at the plaque of Prince Ning's Mansion. Although she was still not used to seeing it, a strong sense of going home had already welled up in her heart, and she ran in.
"I'm back!" Mu Yunjin shouted excitedly as soon as she entered the door.
Seeing this, Nanny Shen, who was clearing the table, immediately put down the things in her hands, and went up to greet her, "The prince and princess are back..."
