When Leng saw them coming over, he lowered his head respectfully and said,"Your Highness." Then, he looked at Hai Du and smiled. Hai Du also smiled back.
Although Hongli was smiling, he said coldly,""When did you come back?"
"This morning," Leng replied.
Hongli didn't know why he was angry, but he said expressionlessly,""I heard that it was very dangerous this time. Why didn't you rest well and come out to stroll?”
Leng could still hear that this sentence was different from usual. As for what was different, he couldn't figure it out at the moment. He could only answer,"Thanks to the emperor's great blessing, this time it was a scare but no danger.”He did not answer the question.
Hai Du turned his head to look at Hong Li. He was a little nervous for some reason and seemed to be very worried about Leng. As for what he was worried about, he had no idea.
Hongli looked at Mu Sen who was behind Leng as if he was avoiding him. He was already displeased and said in a reproachful and joking manner,""You didn't even greet me when you saw me. You really don't know the rules.”
"Your Highness," Leng quickly explained for Mu Sen,"Mu Sen, she…"
Hongli raised his hand to stop him and said with a smile,""Leng, what are you nervous about? I was just joking.”
Hai Du's forehead was already covered in sweat, but he still smiled along with Hongli. Leng Xin's heart was beating fast, but she could only smile.
Hongli continued casually,""You can go back. This king and Hai Du still have things to do.”
Leng immediately replied,"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."”He glanced at Hai Du and left with Mu Sen.
He looked coldly at Mu Sen's bright and delicate side profile. He was now certain that Mu Sen was hiding something from him. She had always told him everything. She shared with him happily and told him unhappily. Why did she choose to remain silent about Prince Bao? Was he hiding something or was he afraid of something?
"You seem to be very afraid of Prince Bao," Leng asked uneasily.”
Musen remained silent.
"Why are you afraid of him?" Leng asked.”There was obvious anxiety in his tone. He had to ask and know. He stopped and pulled Musen to stand face to face with her. He grabbed Musen's shoulders and stared into her eyes. He said with a serious face,"What is it that you haven't told me?”As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mu Sen's eyes turn slightly red, as if he was sad. Seeing this, Leng felt her heart ache. She regretted speaking to her in such a harsh tone. She hugged Mu Sen and comforted him,"Alright, don't be sad. I shouldn't have spoken to you so loudly.”He wiped her tears and said with concern,"You can't tell me what grievances you've encountered. You have to bear it alone.”
Mu Sen couldn't help but talk about the fear and doubts hidden in his heart. He talked about the time when Hongli visited him at the beginning of the year and this time when Hongli forced her to go to the Prince's mansion as a "guest". The more he talked about it, the more aggrieved he became. The more he talked about it, the sadder he became. His cold brows were tightly knitted and he never relaxed. His heart was in a mess as if he couldn't find a clue. He forced himself to calm down and started from why Prince Bao hated Mu Sen. Mu Sen and he only met briefly twice. He shouldn't have offended him. Besides, who was Hongli? He was a popular prince, a prince with power, and a brother who might inherit the throne. With his breadth of mind and status, how could he be calculative with a girl?
Who was this lady? She was the daughter of the leader of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, she was the daughter of the commander of the Flying Guillotine, who held many secrets of the Qing Dynasty. Hongli should not have treated Mu Sen like that.
What made Prince Bao hate Mu Sen so much?
Feelings, it should be feelings. Hongli's gaze towards Musen, no, towards us, seemed to be jealous. Although it was hard to detect, it was definitely there.
What else?
Leng Fei Kuai thought about it, and suddenly he seemed to understand. His heart was filled with surprise, and Prince Bao's eyes were filled with a " determined to win " interest.
If that was the case, why did he marry Mu Qing? The commander-in-chief said that the Emperor had asked Madam to bring their daughter into the palace to pay her respects to Imperial Consort Xi. Mu Sen was ill and could not go out. She should have brought Mu Qing with her. After that, we went to Juesheng Temple and came back. We heard the news of the marriage. Logically speaking, all of this had nothing to do with Mu Sen, but it was inextricably linked.
Prince Bao must have taken a fancy to Mu Sen and asked Imperial Consort Xi to fulfill his wish. Imperial Consort Xi mistook Mu Qing for their biological daughter when she saw her, so she accidentally betrothed Mu Qing. However, this was not Mu Sen's fault, so why would Prince Bao blame her?
There was something else that was missing. It was the name. The name was wrong. They all knew that Gua 'erjia's biological daughter was called Mu Sen, which was right. Prince Bao realized his mistake after he returned. He thought that Mu Sen refused to marry him and rejected his face. This could be said to be the first time Prince Bao was rejected by a girl. Of course, he had never suffered such a thing. He was born in the royal family and was talented and intelligent. He was loved by the former Emperor and Emperor Yongzheng. He had always had everything he wanted. If he encountered obstacles in other matters, he would have been able to get it. Hongli would definitely overcome all difficulties, but the wonders of love were beyond the comprehension of even the most intelligent person. This was why love gave birth to hatred.
But then again, it was true that Musen would not agree to it. But who could refuse the love of a prince? Thinking of this, Leng could not help but hate his real master. He had so many women, and he only had Musen. Why did he have to snatch them from him? If that was the case, would he let go? Leng couldn't help but shiver.
Leng closed his eyes and reminded himself not to think about this question. The key point was that there must be something that he had not thought of in the middle, such as why Mu Qing was betrothed?
Mu Sen had once said that Mu Qing liked Prince Bao and was willing to marry him. This seemed to be a happy ending, but because Mu Sen was unwilling and Mu Qing was willing, it resulted in such an outcome. Was it because of Mu Sen or Mu Qing? That was why Yi Lan did that. She obviously didn't discuss it with Gong Er. Otherwise, Gong Er would have been so angry when he heard it. Leng started to think about the scene when they returned that day. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in her eyes. It was because of Mu Qing. It was because Mu Qing loved Hongli. That was why Yi Lan did that. She didn't think about the consequences of doing that to Mu Sen.
Mu Sen was her daughter, how could she not be right? Mu Qing was her daughter, their daughter.
Back then, Emperor Yongzheng had decreed that all of Gong E's children, whether male or female, should inherit his position as the Flying Guillotine. Not everyone could accept such 'favorite'. With Gong E's status, it was easy for him to replace his daughter. Mu Sen had come to help their daughter walk down this bloody path of slaughter in exchange for their daughter's peaceful life. No wonder Mu Sen was always sick. It turned out that she was struggling in the wrong life. How could she not be sick? So it was them who made her sick.
Leng was furious. How could they treat Mu Sen like this? Even if they wanted to fulfill her daughter's wish, they should let Mu Sen know why Prince Bao hated her. You let her make such wild guesses and be inexplicably afraid, but you didn't say anything. Don't you have any feelings for her since she was young? Are your hearts really made of iron?
Leng suddenly felt a warmth on his face. Mu Sen's jade-like hand had reached out and gently stroked his brows. He asked anxiously,"Leng, what are you thinking about? You're so engrossed."
Leng Zhishou removed Mu Sen's hand from between his eyebrows and kissed him gently. She said gently,"It's okay. Don't be afraid. I'll help you ask Prince Bao. There must be some misunderstanding here.”
"You don't have to look for him. We'll just hide from him from now on."”Her eyes were filled with worry and pleading.
