Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 417 Goodbye Mrs. Liu

Zhao Mu shook his head and said: "Of course not, she arrived much earlier than the autumn frost and winter snow, before I left the capital."

Mu Wanqing murmured: "Before you left the capital," she counted on her fingers and said, "Huh? Before you left the capital, you seemed to be a wild boy of thirteen or fourteen. You are so early Is there someone you like?”

Zhao Mu shrugged and said, "That's natural. And it's not just me who likes her. She was so beautiful at that time that all the princes and grandsons in the capital were fascinated by her. If His Majesty hadn't been younger than me, she might have entered the palace. Concubine. It’s a pity that I didn’t get rich back then, and I was just a powerless concubine. Although I was in love with her, I couldn’t stand the cold fact that she married the most suitable prince. After arriving in the capital, we headed to the border areas.”

"Ah? The person you are talking about is already married? You don't want to tonight..." Mu Wanqing couldn't help feeling sick, and then looked at Zhao Mu with disgust on her face.

Zhao Mu shook his head and said, "What are you thinking about? She is no longer a woman, but a poor widow. Her husband died, and her biological daughter was taken away by her mother-in-law, and she could not see her even if she wanted to. And she was She was imprisoned in the house to die. If I hadn't helped her, she would have died alone."

Under the arrangement of her two mothers-in-law, Mu Wanqing also had some contacts with powerful ladies and famous ladies in the capital during this period. This story always seemed familiar to her.

Then she remembered and said, "Huh? The person you are talking about cannot be the Crown Princess of Prince Shang's Palace, right?"

Zhao Mu nodded and said, "That's right." Then Zhao Mu took out the envelope. Then he handed it to Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing opened it and looked at it, then asked, "Where is the letter?"

Mu Wanqing asked: "Prince Qi personally initiated it! What's wrong? What's so special?"

Mu Wanqing was born in Jianghu. She was not good at calligraphy and painting, not to mention Qin Hongmian did not teach her. But Mu Wanqing still saw it and said, "Isn't this your handwriting?"

After all, this little princess herself is a woman with quite a chivalrous spirit.

Zhao Mu really felt that he had really received the true legacy of his father-in-law Duan Zhengchun now. Duan Zhengchun couldn't remember how many women he had had, so much so that he dared to accept Ye Erniang's offer.

Zhao Mu sighed not because he regretted this relationship. Although he also coveted Liu Ying's beauty back then, he was just attracted by her beauty and could not say he liked her. He is self-aware. He was sighing now just because during this period of time, there were so many beauties around him that he almost forgot about her.

Zhao Mu sighed and said, "Yes. I gave her a portrait that I drew for her myself, with my inscription on it. I just didn't expect that she would still keep it after so many years."

Zhao Mu said, "Don't you think the handwriting on this looks familiar?"

Zhao Mu agreed: "This is no problem. It's just Wan'er, I have a merciless request. That is the future."

Zhao Mu shook his head and said: "There is no letter, just an envelope. Look at the words on it."

As expected by Zhao Mu, Mu Wanqing was really not angry this time. Not only was she not angry, she even looked at Zhao Mu with interest and said, "Ouch! I didn't expect that our Prince Qi is quite sentimental. But it seems that you have never painted a portrait for me. As compensation for your old night lover, you will also draw one for me when you come back."

What's more, now it's impossible for him to go out and have sex without anyone noticing. Instead of hiding it from Mu Wanqing, the two of them quarreled. It would be better to confess to her directly and make up a little story to win her sympathy.

And although I remember it, there are too many women around me now, and it's a bit impossible to take care of both. Although this kind of life is what every man dreams of, actually coordinating it is a troublesome thing.

Mu Wanqing replied: "I understand. I heard from County Master Chai that Mrs. Liu is indeed quite pitiful. Now she is a widow, and her father and brother are irresponsible. They don't even ask about her situation." Asked. Just like me back then." Mu Wanqing couldn't help but feel sad.

Mu Wanqing then sighed and said: "After her mourning period is over, if you like her, bring her into the house. Although she may not have her share of the concubine position, but give her a concubine." I can still do it.”

Zhao Mu sat on the edge of the bed, and then took Mu Wanqing into his arms. He said, "Even if my Wan'er enters the deep house, her chivalrous heart has never changed. Then I will thank my Wan'er on behalf of Sister Liu. That's magnanimous." Mu Wanqing pinched Zhao Mu gently, and she snuggled into her husband's arms and said, "It's not that I am magnanimous. He’s just a stinky man for the woman he’s in love with.”

Zhao Mu smiled awkwardly. Sure enough, the person Mu Wanqing hated the most in her life was her father Duan Zhengchun.

After appeasing Mu Wanqing, Zhao Mu also left his mansion openly. He took advantage of the night to arrive at the "Chongyi Hou Mansion" where Liu Ying's master and servants were imprisoned.

Outside the Chongyihou Mansion, there were three or five dragon guards guarding the house.

These people have no problem dealing with petty thieves or ordinary martial arts people, but they are just decorations in front of Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu took advantage of the darkness and sneaked into the courtyard.

But today’s courtyard is very different from before.

Although the previous courtyard was not dilapidated, it was full of dead branches and leaves. Now it is very clean and spacious.

Zhao Mu followed his previous memories and came outside Liu Ying's bedroom.

Looking at the lights still on in the house, Zhao Mu knocked on her window.

Liu Ying's dowry girl Mei Xiang asked tentatively: "Who is it?"

Zhao Mu replied: "Do you ask this question every time I come here?"

When they heard it was Zhao Mu, both of them were overjoyed.

Mei Xiang hurried to open the door for Zhao Mu. When she opened the door, she saw the familiar face that she had been thinking about all day long. Mei Xiang's heart almost jumped out of her chest.

The same goes for Liu Ying. She jumped directly on Zhao Mu and hugged him tightly.

Although Mei Xiang wanted to step forward and hug him, she knew her position clearly. He could only retreat to the side silently.

Liu Ying said with tears: "I thought you had completely forgotten me when you became a high official and promoted to prince!"

Zhao Mu comforted her and said: "How could it be? It's just that you and I have special status. I can't come to you openly. Plus, now that I have been promoted, there are still many things in the court waiting for me to deal with. I don't have a chance. Come see my sister Liu.”

Liu Ying wiped the tears on her face and said, "It's good that you haven't forgotten me. Come in quickly!"

With that said, she dragged Zhao Mu in. Then Mei Xiang quickly closed the door and bolted the door. It was as if he was afraid that Zhao Mu would escape soon.

When they entered the room, the three of them looked at each other in embarrassment. Liu Ying had a thousand words to say to Zhao Mu before, but now that she was in front of him, she didn't know what to say.
