Mu Qingge paused for a moment, but immediately recovered and smiled slightly: "Princess Yongle is very good, but I am not worthy of her."
These words made Qin Jinchen stop and turn to look at her. His eyes that penetrated people's hearts fell on her, and he said slowly: "The young lord, who has always been arrogant, has actually become humble."
conceited
Mu Qingge's lips twitched and she retorted: "I never thought that the wise king, who has always ignored worldly affairs, would actually start a matchmaking business."
"Because, that's Lian Lian." Qin Jinchen raised his head slightly, his tone was light, but no one could refuse.
Mu Qingge sneered: "The Wise King is really funny. Why, do you want to impose your preferences on others?"
Qin Jinchen lowered his eyes, unable to see his true happiness or anger.
After a long while, he said: "I just want to know the reason."
"The wise king seems to believe that I am the only one in the world who can bring happiness to Princess Yonghuan?" Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes and asked.
Qin Jinchen's eyelashes trembled slightly and she explained her reasons: "She likes you, and you are not a heartless person."
Mu Qingge laughed jokingly: "With the King Xian's comment, I am really lucky. But, has the prince forgotten Princess Changle's lessons? I am not an infatuated and single-minded person."
However, Qin Jinchen said indifferently: "Changle is different from Lianlian. My mother-in-law is not Jiang Guifei."
"What about King Xian? Is he different from King Rui? Is this why you sent someone to secretly escort him ten months ago?" Mu Qingge's eyes narrowed into a line, with a dangerous light flashing in the slits of his eyes, and he pressed forward at every turn. .
Qin Jinchen's calm eyes flashed but did not answer.
Mu Qingge curled her lips and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the King Xian is a little strange, why do I know it's you?"
Qin Jinchen raised his eyes, looking at her with calm but black and white eyes, as if searching for the answer.
"It's actually very simple, but I didn't think of it at first. Using the elimination method, the most unlikely person is you. Because you are low-key, harmless, and invisible. You don't attract any attention and make people forget your existence. . But no one expected that you could actually control a group of extremely capable warriors. Who would believe you if you said you had no ambition? I am afraid that when the Crown Prince and Prince Rui were fighting, they all forgot that among the adult princes of Qin, There is also a wise king." Mu Qingge said playfully.
When the investigation came to this conclusion, Mu Qingge also didn't believe it.
Who would have thought that the wise king, who had always been inconspicuous, would secretly cultivate power
Moreover, it is hidden so deeply.
In the end, if Mu Qingge hadn't set her sights on Qin Jinchen and asked Gu Ya to run away once in person and see with her own eyes the master who helped her stop the assassin appearing next to the wise king, she would have found it hard to believe it.
Qin Jinchen stared at Mu Qingge closely for a long time before calmly saying: "I'm not interested in that position, and my mother-in-law doesn't want me to be blinded by power." It seemed that he didn't care about his secret. Known by Mu Qingge.
However, Mu Qingge didn't believe it at all.
A neglected prince, who had been dormant and forbearing for so many years, secretly cultivating a powerful force, actually told her that he had no intention of seizing the throne
Mu Qingge's undisguised sneer seemed to sting Qin Jinchen's eyes, causing him to lower his eyes and avoid the burning gaze.
Seeing that he was silent, Mu Qingge prepared to leave.
However, she just took two steps. That lonely voice came again: "It seems that you have really forgotten what happened in the past."
What happened in the past? What happened in the past? Is it possible that Mu Qingge's Nizi still has a relationship with this wise king
Mu Qingge was surprised, but turned around with a calm expression and looked at him coldly with clear eyes.
Under her gaze, Qin Jinchen took out something from his arms, spread it out in his palms, and showed it in front of Mu Qingge: "Do you still remember it?"
Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes and landed on the small bamboo tube in Qin Jinchen's palm.
She is not an original product, so she really doesn’t know what the bamboo whistle represents!
Slowly raising his eyes, Mu Qingge looked at Qin Jinchen.
Qin Jinchen gradually clenched his palm, took back his hand, and said: "I remember, it was when I was ten years old. You were only about seven years old at that time. You are the grandson of Mu Xiong, the God of War of Qin State, and you enjoy the glory of the Mu family. And I was just an ominous and sickly prince. In the palace, not only my brothers could bully me, but even the maids and chamberlains could bully me. Because they knew that no one would pursue them. That time, I was surrounded by several chamberlains. In the corner of the Royal Garden, under the punches and kicks, I just felt my blood surge, and it seemed that I would die at any time. At the moment of despair, you appeared and beat away those servants who bullied others and were afraid of others."
When Qin Jinchen said this, he smiled. As if falling into memories: "Actually, your punches and your feet did not fall on the servants at all, and they were nimbly dodged. However, they desperately begged you for mercy and left with urine on their butts. "
His calm eyes looked over with emotion for the first time. Mu Qingge felt extremely embarrassed because she knew that the person Qin Jinchen was talking about was not her.
"After they left, you laughed at me for being hopeless. Such a big man was actually bullied by slaves. At that time, I resented you for not knowing the inside story. However, you suddenly handed me this bamboo whistle and told me that in the future, If anyone dares to bully me, let me blow the bamboo whistle. If you hear it, you will come over and help me beat them." After Qin Jinchen finished speaking, he held the bamboo whistle in his hand tighter.
"You don't really believe it, do you?" Mu Qingge said with a slight twitch in her mouth. Such words are obviously meant to deceive children, okay
Qin Jinchen nodded calmly and said firmly: "I believe it. After that, every time I was beaten, I would blow the bamboo whistle. But you never showed up."
"Then you still believe it?" Now, it was Mu Qingge's turn to be surprised.
Qin Jinchen looked at her: "Later, I learned that the palace was too big and the sound of the bamboo whistle could not be heard outside the palace. You don't live in the palace, how could you hear it? If you can't hear it, naturally it won't appear. If so, If you can hear it, I’m sure you’ll show up.”
"..." Mu Qingge was speechless. She is not the real person and will not know what the real Mu Qingge thinks. But if she did make a promise, she thought, she would fulfill it.
"You sent someone to escort me secretly, maybe it's just to repay the kindness you had when you were a child." Mu Qingge suddenly guessed.
Qin Jinchen did not deny it, but said to himself: "It's just a coincidence that the ancient master and others recognized me as their master. And in this way, I also have the ability to protect the people I want to protect. I don't care about the throne."
After that, he walked towards the outside of the palace. It seemed to indicate the end of the conversation.
Mu Qingge walked out of the palace and parted ways with Qin Jinchen. Behind her is the carriage of Prince Xian's Mansion that is getting further away. She looked back at the carriage, and couldn't help but think: If Mu Qingge was like Qin Jinchen, she still remembered a promise she made when she was a child. Will there be a different ending today
