"Your Majesty."

He raised his head and looked at him with a questioning gaze. The Qi King's voice was low, as if he had made up his mind. "Let me take Mo'er and leave. He can't stay in the capital anymore."

The man's gaze wavered as he understood Chen Changsheng's meaning. "You want to imprison him?"

Prince Qi said, "Mo'er is definitely not as good as he is showing now. If he really finds out the truth, the consequences will be unthinkable to me."

Ren Zong said sullenly, "If something like this were to happen, there's a high chance that he's going to go crazy." If one is not crazy, it is impossible for such a good thing to happen. "

The Qi King sighed, "Mo'er is definitely not the crazy one."

Ren Zong muttered, "It really is better than going crazy. With Divine Doctor Xiao here, he can treat it."

The Qi King remained expressionless. "I share the same opinion. If he was crazy, at least he would be able to stay by his side. There was hope. "If …" He shook his head.

Ren Zong muttered, "His heart can't be held back."

The Qi King pursed his lips, a resolute and fierce look appearing in his eyes, "There's no need to tie his heart down, it's enough as long as his people are kept. As long as we endure these few years, everything can be slowly explained to him. "

Ren Zong thought for a moment, but didn't directly object, "Where do you want to send him?"

Qi King let out a long breath, "Bi Luo Shan, I guess. Zhuo Yi is also an old friend, he knows what to do. Seven Kill's military camp is not far from there. If there's any danger to Mo'er, you have to protect him. "

"Maybe." Ren Zong frowned, feeling a little tired, "Is Fourth Brother really going to let Mo'er marry Mu Qing Han?"

Qi Wang nodded, "This is her own idea. Mo'er is willing to marry her." Master Hou and I have become sworn brothers, and have saved my life many times. The last bit of flesh and blood of the Mu Clan … I have to do my best to keep it safe. "

Ren Zong said, "But Mu Qinghan's child's surname is Zhao, not Mu. No matter what, a child with royal blood couldn't bear the surname of someone else. If she is willing, I can point out another marriage for her, and in the end, I can also leave behind a child for the Mu family. "

Qi Wang sighed, "I've asked this many times. "Back then, I promised the marquis that I would …" Ye Zichen sighed once again with a headache.

Ren Zong asked, "What did the duke of Trojan Horse say?"

The corners of the Qi King's mouth twitched, "He said that the Bai Yao Tang has already been married for a long time, and he already has a son. If Mo'er and Qing Han gave birth to a daughter in the future, they could marry each other at the same age. Their son will have a surnamed Mu. "

Ren Zong spent a long time to sort out their relationship and couldn't help laughing, "What if Mo'er doesn't have a daughter, or only a son for a Grand Scholar?"

"Then let Mo'er's youngest son marry the daughter of the Bai Clan, and then …" King Qi answered without thinking, "Your Majesty couldn't possibly be concerned about this, right?"

Ren Zong thought for a moment. "I remember that Bai Qing's eldest son was three or four years older than Mo'er, and he also had a pair of children born from a concubine, right?"

Qi Wang nodded. "Indeed."

Ren Zong said, "Since Mo'er has made up his mind, get someone to investigate the young ladies that are close to the eldest son of the Bai Clan and tell them to hurry up and get married."

The Qi King was stunned, he didn't understand what he meant for a long time, "Who is going to marry who?"

Ren Zong was also stunned. "Of course it's Bai Yutang's eldest son." After all, he couldn't allow Mo'er's daughter to marry the son born out of a concubine, right? He and Merle were about the same age, and he was getting married. Choose a good day and let Merle get married. Once we're home, we can tie him down a bit. "

"But Qing Han is still in mourning …" Halfway through his words, the Qi King suddenly thought of something and said, "Today, when I go back, I will order someone to calculate the time. I should get Mo'er and Han Qinghan married as soon as possible."

He closed his eyes in exhaustion, "Mo'er will not forgive me, so let's just forget about it. This way, he could have less of a care within the imperial government. When spring comes, let Merle go to Green Descend Mountain. They stayed away from the court and didn't argue. When he comes down the mountain, it will be time to explain everything to him. "

The Qi King's expression changed. He pursed his lips and only stood up a moment later to express his gratitude.

Ren Zong gave a tired smile, "Fourth brother, there's no need to be so courteous. All my life, I've just wanted a son … A healthy, happy, perhaps capable, studious son. I wanted to show him what the landscape was like, the rivers and mountains that I was guarding for the rest of my life. I don't think he needs to be like me, a young king, sitting on the cold Dragon Throne every day, looking at the ferocious world, at a loss. I want him to enjoy the warmth in my parents' arms like a normal child. I want him to enjoy the joy of running and laughing as much as he can under the protection of the guards. I want him and his close friends to sing poems and drink in the pleasure boat at the center of the lake. When he reaches adulthood, let him sit on the seat that I've sat on for decades, and look at the beautiful and peaceful Embroidery Mountains. "

He covered his eyes and sighed, "Fourth brother, I don't want to take Mo'er away from you, I just want to have a son too much. I just want to... Let him sit in my place and look at the world. I didn't notice that what he wanted wasn't the love of tens of thousands of people, nor was it fame, much less this Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains … I don't know if I'll make it in time. "

The martial arts world was floating like a boat, standing apart from the rest of the world … In Bianliang City, the world is a big place that can never be seen.

"Royal brother, I'm a bit tired." Zhao Qingyan held onto the appendix next to her and slowly leaned against it. She looked at the fish swimming under the bridge and lowered her eyes.

Zhao Shu stopped and turned around, wanting to say something. In the end, he only answered half-heartedly, "Then let's sit down and rest for a while."

The corner of Zhao Qingyan's eyes slightly curved. His dark pupils revealed a faint smile. "I'll be fine after a while." With his right hand on his appendix, he took out something from his pocket. It was three or four layers of pastries wrapped in a handkerchief. He broke off a small piece, crushed it with his fingertips, and threw it into the lake. The smile in his eyes deepened as he watched the fish fight for food.

"Brother Mo, you …"

Zhao Qingyan raised his head and saw Zhao Shu looking at the pastry in his palm, holding it out in front of him. "I took it from Second Brother earlier. I was thinking of feeding it to the fishes on the way out."

Zhao Shu smiled helplessly. "You've always had this kind of carefree attitude." Stretching out his hand, he grabbed a piece and placed it on top of the white jade appendix. He crushed a small piece and only scattered it after seeing that the fish shoal was about to disperse.

Zhao Qingyan laughed softly, "That's right. I still like the days of leisure." "Ever since I've come back, I hate people who bully and cheat me more and more."

Zhao Shu was silent for a moment, then said softly, "It's all over."

Zhao Qingyan turned her head to look at him. She smiled helplessly and said, "That's right. I hope we won't have to do it again."

Zhao Shu didn't dare to meet his gaze. He quietly looked at the fish swimming in the lake, struggling to write a piece of cake. After a while, he too sighed and said, "Hopefully, there won't be any more."

Zhao Qingyan followed Zhao Shu's gaze and saw a red carp that was larger than even the carp at the side. "The law of the jungle …" If we don't fight for it, we might starve to death, right? "

Zhao Shu was slightly startled and speechless.

"What have I fought over all these years?" Zhao Qingyan shook his head and sighed. However, there was a sense of loss in his heart.

Zhao Shu dropped a piece of debris. "Maybe it's just too easy to get."

Zhao Qingyan frowned, "For these things that are easily obtainable, I can only endure those losses that I shouldn't have. Although it is fortunate, it is also unfortunate. "

Zhao Shu seemed to remember something, and suddenly he laughed. "Just bear with it, and it won't be so hard." Often, unfortunately, there seems to be less bad luck. "

Zhao Qingyan replied with a "Yes". She lowered her eyes, revealing her sadness to be hidden. "I just hope that the things I have been guarding for too long have not been stolen."

"Yeah, I'm praying as well," Zhao Lu said sadly.

"Faithfulness is the key to success." Inadvertently, the pastry in his palm had already been eaten up. Zhao Qingyan patted off the crumbs that stuck to his palm with a carefree smile, "He will definitely be able to hold on."

"It's a rare reunion dinner, but instead, they're eating with different thoughts in their minds." Zhao Baiyi kicked a stone away and couldn't help but mutter, "How do these palace maids do things? Such a big rock is actually blocking the middle of the road. "

The king bent down to pick up the stone his son had kicked away and raised his eyebrows. "White Jade, where did these stone pieces come from?"

Zhao Baiyi paused for a second, then looked around. "There's no jade appendix around here, it shouldn't be nearby."

The king frowned and tilted his chin, "Is that the crown prince's east palace?"

Zhao Baiyi nodded, "It shouldn't be far."

"Let's go take a look." The king put the stone in his sleeve and walked directly to the east.

Zhao Baiyi quickly took a few steps to catch up with him. With a puzzled expression, he asked, "It's already so late. Why is Father going to the Eastern Palace?"

The messenger didn't answer and only looked around, as if searching for something. "Stay away from me and walk that way. See if there are any jade blocks along the road."

Zhao Baiyi broke into a laugh. "I was careless and left that piece behind just now. How could there be more?"

King Xin glared at him. "I told you to find it quickly!"

Zhao Baiyi was startled. He quickly followed his father's instructions and walked to the left side of the road. Then, he started to search along the roadside. After walking for fifty to sixty steps, seeing that his father was still looking carefully, Zhao Baiyi could not help but ask, "Royal father, what exactly are you looking for? It can't be. "

King Xin did not say a word and instead squatted down. He stretched out his hand to feel the cracks in the limestone tiles at his feet before standing up. "Take a look."

Zhao Baiyi's head was full of fog. When he walked over and saw the object in his father's palm, his face turned pale with fright. "Father, this … this is Han Baiyu?"

The Emissary King frowned. "Yes, although this piece is a lot smaller, it is definitely a fragment of the white jade." It had been more than a month since winter, but there was no news of the recent movement of wood and soil in the palace. Besides, this was the only way to get from the west to the east of the inner court where his royal brother lived. It was also the closest path for the Crown Prince to get back to the palace tonight. If it was really a piece of jade dropped by a craftsman, how could it be so broken? For such an important matter, how could the people in the palace not be concerned with taking care of it? "

Zhao Baiyi felt cold sweat begin to form on his forehead, and his face turned even paler. "If it wasn't for the craftsmen, then …"

The messenger king looked around and said, "Go back and find Thirteenth Brother. Have him lead the patrolling guards and bring the lamps here. Find the rocks along the way and then come to the East Palace to find me."

Zhao Baiyi pulled on his sleeve and wiped his sweat. "What about Big Bro? Will he be okay? "

"I don't know." "Thirteenth Brother, please be careful." The messenger frowned and waved his hand in a fretful manner.

Zhao Baiyi quickly answered, "Then Father, be careful."

The king glared at him again. "Is there even a need for you to say that? "Go quickly!"

"Mo Di, what's the scenery like at the West Lake?" Zhao Shu crossed his arms on the white jade appendix and asked with a distant look, "Is it beautiful?"

Zhao Qingyan was slightly taken aback.

The water of the West Lake was like blood, with a hundred corpses floating in the air.

The scenery of the West Lake was filled with blood and flames that reflected the sky. It was a scene of total devastation.

Every piece of land in the West Lake was covered in mud mixed with blood. Every sky above the West Lake was filled with the glow of departure.

Zhao Qingyan's eyelashes trembled as she hid the fear and disgust in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Yes, it is beautiful."

The West Lake was very beautiful. It was sad and dazzling.

Zhao Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at the pond before him. "I'd like to see it when I have time."

Zhao Qingyan smiled. "You can go when the snow has melted."

"Together?" Zhao Shu turned to look at him, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Next spring, when Imperial Father's health is very good, would you like to come with me to the West Lake?"

Zhao Qingyan hesitated for a moment and did not refuse. "If royal brother likes it, then I will accompany you."

Zhao Shu asked, "Apart from Liangliang City, the place you miss the most is probably Suhang."

Zhao Qingyan nodded, "Yes, Qingfeng's family is over there after all." "When it came to 'home', he paused for a moment, but instead of changing to another word, he finished the second part of his sentence in a soft voice." "Home …" Perhaps he had already died along with the death of Ran Shu Tong, as Ran Hao left, Ran Tong Xuan's disheartened heart became broken into pieces. But it was still their home, always had been.

Zhao Shu didn't notice his brief pause. She gazed into the distance, thinking of something. Suddenly, she laughed. "Although your feudal fiefdom is not fertile, it is a truly beautiful place." Perhaps only someone like Brother Mo would truly fall in love with such a place. "

Zhao Qingyan also revealed a smile. In his eyes, there was a trace of a sigh, a sense of nostalgia, and a sense of longing for the future. "A small boat, a stove, and a few dishes are all lying on it. I hope that in the future, like Bewitching Butterfly Town, there will be a wooden house of my own ten miles along the lake. It was simple enough for him to rest. The owner of the wooden house is fishing along the stream and swimming in the mountains and rivers. I can also fish and play the zither with them.

Zhao Shu looked at the hope in his eyes and felt an indescribable pain in his heart. "Brother Mo, do you really like living a life where you are at peace with the world? "Being far away from the secular world, can you really put it aside?"

Zhao Qingyan looked at him in surprise. After a while, she shook her head lightly, "I don't know either." However, he was tired and afraid. He wanted to leave as soon as possible. That serenity... I want it or don't want it. "

Zhao Shu murmured: "The name is Lu Lu, above all people, all people desire." However, after seeing so much, it was nothing more than passing smoke. It can be seen that although it may seem dull, in the end, it cannot be put down. "

"Merit name: Li Lu …" "Is that so?" Zhao Qingyan was dazed for a moment, and then he burst out laughing: "Who can put it down? If I didn't have the status of a prince and without the life without worries from my father, how would I dare to have even the slightest yearning for a free and easy life? For profit, I can't help it. All I can do is to keep my reputation behind me. "

Zhao Shu mulled over his words a few times, then sighed and shook her head. "There are a lot of things that you understand too well."

"That's why I'm tired."
