Lord, you are so beautiful

Chapter 67

"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?" Lou Lan's dark eyes were pure and bright, and he looked up at Mu Qing.

"It's nothing." Mu Qing stroked his hair.

At night, Qianhe was looking for someone with a knife in his hand. From a distance, he saw two people coming from the pavilion holding hands. He trotted up to meet him and said, "Master, it's time for dinner."

"Let them eat by themselves." Mu Qing said, "Lou Lan wants to go out to eat at night stalls."

"I'm going too!" Qianhe hurriedly followed, turned around and shouted: "Boss remember to feed the ducks!"

An indistinguishable voice came down from the roof angrily: "That's our little prince!"

Lou Lan laughed out loud, and left the house holding hands with Mu Qing.

Before the curfew, the long street was bustling and the lights were dim. Lou Lan and Mu Qing stood in front of the stall waiting for a red bean sticky bun.The stall owner wrapped it in paper and handed it to Lou Lan, shouting: "Young master, I like to come again next time!"

Lou Lan was very happy when he had something to eat. He took a bite out of the paper bag with some sugar glued on it, and the aroma of the red bean stuffing inside was overflowing.Just as Qianhe was about to buy one for himself, Mu Qing suddenly raised his hand to stop it.

After Lou Lan had eaten two meals, Mu Qing took the paper bag away, and said with a smile, "Eat less glutinous rice at night, it's easy to store food." Saying that, he threw it to Qianhe, who burst into tears, This is cold!It doesn't taste good when it's cold!

Lou Lan clapped her hands obediently, slapped some sprinkles off her hands, and dragged Mu Qing to another stall to find something to eat.

Mu Qing took Lou Lan to listen to the opera again. Lou Lan usually likes to read some strange stories. fell asleep in the theater.

Mu Qing carried Lou Lan back to the palace, and Qian He walked and ate a bag of fried broad beans.

Mu Qing said softly: "Bring Mu Zhi."

Qianhe responded, tiptoeing and dodging into the darkness ahead.

Mu Qing sent Lou Lan back to his room, and gently undressed him.The room was warm, but it was winter after all, and there was a slight chill in the bed. Lou Lan was wearing a tight-fitting gown, and woke up when he touched the chilly bedding.

"It's very cold." As soon as Lou Lan lay down, she straightened up and slipped into Mu Qing's arms. She fell into a drowsy sleep, a little not sober.

Mu Qing had no choice but to take off his own clothes and warm the quilt for him.Lou Lan hugged Mu Qing's warm body, and slowly fell asleep again.

When Lou Lan was completely asleep, Mu Qing tested the temperature of his feet again, and after confirming that his whole body was warmed up, he quietly withdrew, put on his outer robe and walked to the hall outside.

Muzhi was already waiting for him, Qianhe served tea and stood quietly aside.

He was wearing a white non-patterned robe, and he was much thinner than before.He looked at Mu Qing, drank tea and said, "Are you coaxing him to sleep?"

Mu Qing answered irrelevantly, "Brother, don't come here to be safe."

"It's okay." Mu Zhi said.

Qianhe wanted to go down to make tea, Mu Qing said: "No need, I can't sleep at night after drinking too much tea, bring the fried broad beans you bought earlier."

Qianhe put his hand into his bosom, took out half a pack of leftover fried broad beans and put them on the table, flaunting his plain white fingers under his wide sleeves, Mu Qing peeled off the outer hard shell and threw it into his mouth, faintly Said, "Tomorrow's enthronement ceremony, do you know who it is?"

Mu Zhi frowned.

Mu Qing said: "It's Weiyuan, the surname is Li in this world."

"You don't want to be the emperor yourself?" Mu Zhi was a little surprised.

Mu Qing smiled and said, "Why did I ever say that I want to be an emperor? Besides, your glass of poisoned wine damaged my heart, and now my internal energy is disordered. I'm afraid I won't be able to last for ten years. What's the point of being an emperor. "

"Did I blame you?" Mu Zhi asked.

"Not counting." Mu Qing smiled unruly, "I did have the idea of ​​coercing the emperor to make the princes. You poisoned me, and Lou Lan left me. At that time, I was alone and even thought about destroying the world. I let out a bad breath, and then I got tired after thinking about it... Forget it, saying these things now is nonsense."

"Unexpectedly, you will have a day when you can hold your hand in the world." Mu Zhi said.

Mu Qing casually threw the broad bean shells back on the table, "Lou Lan is enough for me."

The two brothers spoke calmly, and it was rare for them to drink tea and chat in such a calm manner.

Mu Zhi put down the teacup and asked: "Father's death is unknown, and you didn't let me ask, so you can always tell me now."

Mu Qing looked at the dancing candles, and frowned slightly, "Mu Rong, his power made Emperor Zhaohuai jealous, and he was poisoned. He must have been poisoned on the battlefield, and he didn't escape an arrow. Pierced to death. I didn’t let you open the coffin because I opened Mu Rong’s body for an autopsy on the way.”

Muzhi lowered his eyes slightly, "It turned out to be like this."

"He himself was willing to die for the imperial power, and he could not blame others." Mu Qing said, "I didn't kill Emperor Zhaohuai to avenge him. Zhaohuai wanted to kill me, so I killed him first."

"The fan your father gave you is to remind you not to follow the same path as him. He is dead, so don't hate him anymore." Mu Zhi said.

Mu Qing smiled lightly, his face was warmed by the candlelight, but his eyes were cold, "Well, in my opinion, he just wanted me not to covet the throne, to live my life drunk and dreamy, and not to dream about love Power, you have never heard these words, but he tells me every day, what do you know?"

"In the final analysis, you are the prince's son." Mu Qing said, "Your name is Mu Zhi, and he hopes that you will become a hero in the world, while my name is Mu Qing, and he only hopes that I will be a sloppy life."

"Mu Qing, don't misinterpret the meaning of the father, the father wants to protect you." Mu Zhi said urgently.

Mu Qing smiled coldly: "Protect me and let you poison me?"

Mu Zhi lost his voice for a moment, and Mu Qing said: "You grew up under Mu Rong's doting, there are some things you don't understand, but you are three years older than me, you are just worthless."

Mu Qing pulled out his long knife and put it on the table, and pushed it in Mu Zhi's direction: "I have thought of countless ways to torture you to death. After all, you are my big brother, and I will let you face the road with dignity."

Mu Zhi took the knife and said softly: "I never thought that I could bring you down with a glass of poisoned wine. It's just that my father's previous explanation shortened your life and dispelled your intention of disobedience. I really can't stand you."

Mu Qing said in a low voice: "Mother's memorial tablet is in the old house, go and meet her before going on the road. Brother, have a good journey."

Mu Qing got up and turned to the cabinet.

Muzhi picked up the long knife and walked out.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Weiyuan's enthronement ceremony came as scheduled, and Mu Qing didn't go to the former court, so it didn't matter whether he went or not, Li Weiyuan was different from others, there was no need for him to pretend to wear a court uniform and shout "Long live my emperor".

Not long after breakfast, Mu Qing was eating snacks with Lou Lan. Lou Lan likes to eat yellow peas, and likes to crush them while eating and put them on the table to feed the ducks.

While talking with Lou Lan, the shadow guard jumped down from the roof and ran into the cabinet like a wind, whispering in his ear: "My lord, Prince Ren committed suicide in the ancestral hall of the old house last night."

"Just bury it in the old house." Mu Qing said lightly.

"Yes." The shadow guard stepped back.

Lou Lan turned her head, stuffed a small piece of pea yellow into his mouth, and asked, "Who will be buried?"

"Muzhi, he's dead." Mu Qing said.

Lou Lan didn't ask any more questions.

In front of the Nine Halls, Li Weiyuan was wearing a dragon robe, waiting impatiently for the ministers to finish three prostrations and nine kowtows.Chi Wen only sat on the throne for less than half a year, Li Weiyuan even kowtowed at the Jiujian Hall when he ascended the throne, now the country has changed hands, and Li Weiyuan has accepted the kowtows of the officials.

However, Li Weiyuan was reluctant to be the emperor, and those cumbersome etiquettes almost tossed away what little patience he had.The officials knelt down to listen to the seal.

"I'm enthroned today..." Li Weiyuan's face changed drastically as he took it out of his arms, it's terrible!I forgot to bring the cheat sheet Nanfa gave me last night, and I completely forgot which official title was awarded to this one and which official title was awarded to that one.

The new emperor's voice stopped abruptly, and all the ministers knelt still, not daring to raise their heads, let alone whispering.

Nanfa was so angry behind the screen that he spit out a mouthful of Ling Xiao's blood.

Li Weiyuan was already very irritable, so he waved his hand directly: "It's gone, retreat!"

The ministers: "..."

Li Weiyuan suddenly fell back, and his angry roar spread throughout the court and the public: "By the way, Feng Rong Wang Mu is now serving as the regent of the first-rank Yuzun Supervisor, that's enough, step back from the court!"

The officials sweated profusely, the emperor really left this time, so they sent them off in unison, "Long live my emperor—"

Li Weiyuan avoided all the red tape, and took Nanfa to the Prince Rong's mansion for a stroll the day after he took the throne.

Mu Qing had heard about the absurd things that day, and shook his head: "Let you ascend the throne, you are crazy."

"It's troublesome." Li Weiyuan waved his hand, "There are all sorts of messes."

"Nowadays, you have to reward all the officials above the court." Mu Qing went down with him, with a duckling squatting on his shoulder.

"Shut it up, I'll let Nanfa take care of it, he's more measured than me in this regard, and he's the one who reads the papers." Li Weiyuan said, "How's your injury? Now Xu Ren has also returned to Mu Chungu , do you want to invite him again? Or you can just go to Mu Chungu to recuperate."

"If it can't be cured, let it be like this. If you don't use force, there will be no serious problem. Now you can just wait for death." Mu Qing said.

Li Weiyuan slapped his hands, and threw the sunspots back into the chess box irritably, "I don't believe there is no way, it's more important than anything else that you don't give up on yourself!"

Mu Qing said leisurely: "You should call yourself 'Zhen' and don't come and go all day long."

"My dear mother!" Li Weiyuan said, "Have you told Lou Lan?"

"I'm crazy, I told him what to do." Mu Qing said.

"You false old liar."

"I'll smack you, believe it or not!"

"I'm the emperor now, try to whip me!"

The two disagreed and started arguing under the gazebo. Nanfa was brushing Qisha with Lou Lanqianhe. Turning his head to look over, Nanfa sighed and shook his head and said, "The designated general is playing chess again."

Qianhe said: "You are still a general, it's time to change your mind."

"I'm used to it, and I can't change it for a while." Nan Fa said.

Lou Lan gradually frowned, he seemed to have heard something just now, he turned his head and asked Qian He, "Mu Qing was injured? What's the matter waiting to die?"

Nanfa silently turned and walked away, Qianhe stiffened her body.

Lou Lan said: "If you don't tell me, I will go to Mu Qing and tell you that you are bullying me, and Mu Qing will definitely ask the shadow guards to take turns pumping the soles of your feet!"

Chizuru: "..."
