my awesome king

Chapter 73

Ji Xiaomo smiled and said, "What is time travel and what is the future?" Mu Shuiqing has always liked to say strange words, and Ji Xiaomo is also used to it.

Mu Shuiqing scratched his head, not knowing how to explain for a moment.After thinking hard for a while, she said: "The future is the future world. It will be 1000 years later."

Ji Xiaomo blinked his eyes and asked curiously: "What will happen to the two of us after that? How many children will we have?"

Mu Shuiqing twitched the corner of his mouth: "How do I know?"

"Aren't you from the future?" Ji Xiaomo had a strong comprehension ability, and got used to the word in an instant.

"...how did I know this..." Mu Shuiqing vomited silently from the bottom of her heart: Who made you live in the ancient times.

Seeing Ji Xiaomo's disbelief, Mu Shuiqing explained patiently: "Then another way of explaining it is that the former Mu Shuiqing and the current Mu Shuiqing are two people. Although they have the same body, they are two different people! The former Mu Shuiqing Shui Qing is dead, I am a soul from another world who traveled through."

Ji Xiaomo worriedly measured Mu Shuiqing's forehead, and asked concerned: "Shuiqing, have you been too tired lately, talking nonsense? How can you say that you died before... um... your forehead looks like It's a little hot." Could it be that Mu Shuiqing was hurt by love, so he silently killed his former self in his heart?
"You still don't believe it..."

Seeing that Mu Shuiqing was very depressed, Ji Xiaomo followed her words and asked, "You are not Mu Shuiqing, who are you? Where are you from?"

"My name is Mu Shuiqing...I'm Chinese..."

"Then?" Bai Ye has to find out which neighboring country China is, he seems to have never heard of it.

Mu Shuiqing rubbed her hair in distress, and finally gave up explaining to Ji Xiaomo what the so-called Hunhun wear was all about.His worried eyes obviously thought that he was sick, or bewitched.It was indeed too difficult for him to digest such a weird thing in such a short time.

Besides, if the news spread that she was not Mu Shuiqing herself, I don't know if she would be caught as a monster...

She said angrily: "You just have to remember that anything that Mu Shuiqing did in the past has nothing to do with me, I am me, and now Mu Shuiqing will not do anything to betray you."

Mu Shuiqing looked at Ji Xiaomo, saw that he just blinked his eyes and didn't say anything, she thought of something, and suddenly added in a low voice: "The previous Mu Shuiqing liked Ji Hengyuan, but Ji Hengyuan used her feelings to send her to spy on him. You, so an imperial decree made her marry you. But one month before she married you, she was killed by a gangster at night, pushed into the bottom of the pool and drowned to death. I traveled here at this time. Tea Pavilion assassinated my man in black."

She tried so hard to explain that she was not the original Mu Shuiqing, but just wanted to tell Ji Xiaomo frankly about Ji Hengyuan.It doesn't matter whether he believes it or not, as long as she has a clear heart.

Ji Xiaomo's eyes flickered, and he clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "They were sent by the imperial concubine, as were the assassins on the snowy mountains, and even Mu Yuanran was instigated by her."

"So that's it." Mu Shuiqing curled her lips and snorted softly, "Now I finally figure out who is so hostile to me. It turns out that she is jealous that I have an affair with Ji Hengyuan, so she wants to get rid of me. Again. Love potion, and an assassin again, she really thinks highly of me! Ji Hengyuan, a scumbag who takes advantage of women, returns three thousand beauties in the harem, I don't bother to like him!"

After nagging and scolding Li Yanshan, she suddenly thought that Li Yanshan was Ji Xiaomo's first love!She stopped suddenly, and looked at Ji Xiaomo cautiously: "My lord, that..." She was very modest, but also a little worried about Li Yanshan's position in Ji Xiaomo's heart.

"Call me Xiao Mo." He rubbed her hair, and said calmly, "She sent people to harm you many times, and now you are my princess, so I naturally turn to you. Don't misunderstand me and her anymore. He took Mu Shuiqing's hand and moved slowly, "I'll take you to a place."

His hand was very warm, and his broad palm held her slightly cool fingers gently.His pace was very slow, and Mu Shuiqing knew that his injury was not healed, and he was beaten several times by her and the wound burst open, but he must endure the pain all over his body so as not to worry himself at this time.Mu Shuiqing hurriedly took a step forward to support him, so that Ji Xiaomo could rely on her for strength while walking.

The place Ji Xiaomo brought her to was the Book Pavilion where no one was allowed to enter. She once had a conflict with Ji Xiaomo when she found out that the Book Pavilion was full of portraits of Li Yanshan by mistake.Coming back now, Mu Shuiqing felt awkward and dazed for a while, but after the door was pushed open, it was a different scene.

There were twice as many paintings in the room than when she entered by mistake last time, covering the entire bookstore.However, the picture scroll is no longer that annoying Li Yanshan, but her...it's all her...

Mu Shuiqing's eyes widened, and he froze in place.

The way her eyes sparkled while secretly counting the money, the charming way she boasted about how to do business in the store, the weird movements when doing yoga in the yard, the gentle way she boiled soup in the kitchen .Those things were obviously not done in front of Ji Xiaomo, but he vividly depicted the people on the scroll, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

He has been secretly looking at her?
On the one facing the door, the woman on the picture scroll is holding a fan in her hand, and the paper fan is gently opened to half cover her face.Her blue hair drooped down, she lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly, the faint smile made Bo Shi Fendai's cheeks seem to be moistened with beautiful jade cream.The scene of the ink painting around me blends perfectly with the blue and white ink painting on the cheongsam, exuding a gentle tranquility.

And on the right side of the painting sits a person playing the flute. The person playing the flute has ink-like phoenix eyes and picturesque eyebrows. He is dressed in white clothes, which makes him extraordinarily handsome.He rested his hands on the flute, and his black silk, like black silk, hung down on his shoulders, gently swaying with the wind.The pupils are as warm as jade, shining like stars, quietly gazing at the dancing woman, appearing unusually soft and docile.

This picture is actually the scene of her dancing at the Mid-Autumn Festival that day, but Ji Xiaomo erased everyone, leaving only her and himself. The songs echo each other.

That day when he was wearing that plain white dress, he looked like a sick child, but now with a few strokes of ink, his face was stained with a pink blush, and he was very healthy and handsome.

Mu Shuiqing smiled "puchi".Ji Xiaomo is really smug, to draw himself so handsome.Although her prince was born beautiful, no man in the world can match his beauty...

"What are you laughing at?" This painting has been painted by him for the longest time.The scattered heartbeat at that time still remains in the deepest part of my heart.

Mu Shuiqing looked to the lower right corner, and there was a row of small characters written below, which was the lyrics of blue and white porcelain: The blue sky is waiting for the misty rain, and I am waiting for you... The moonlight was picked up, and the ending fainted.Like the blue and white porcelain that has been handed down from generation to generation, you are beautiful by yourself, and you have a smile in your eyes...

Unexpectedly, she only sang once in front of Ji Xiaomo, and he remembered it all.

——That bookstore, those paintings, are really the scars in the prince's heart. The prince was once a good son who fascinated all sentient beings, but he suffered a lot of grievances because of her.Concubine don't want to eat, that person is not worthy of being loved by the prince, and the prince will not like her anymore...

She asked: "Why did you paint so many of my paintings? Qingzhu once said that you no longer paint." She didn't dare to ask the reason, that kind of thing was like adding salt to Ji Xiaomo's scars, but she didn't understand and Feel flustered.

Ji Xiaomo smiled wryly: "The portrait of Li Yanshan has been hanging all the time. It's not that I still yearn for her and can't forget her, but that I force myself to face up to the things I have avoided. This cruelty sprinkles salt on my heartache." , to really grow.”

He looked at the waste paper rolled up in the corner, and said calmly: "But now, I don't need it. She is already a stranger to me. No matter how I look at those paintings, I don't feel the slightest bit in my heart anymore. Throw it away because it's an eyesore."

"Then these paintings?"

"I drew these paintings in the days when you left the mansion. I drew them when I missed you, who knows..." Ji Xiaomo smiled softly, "It took me only two days to draw so much ..."

He found that he was still the same as before, with witty words, and he who was good at poetry and poetry became not good at words in front of the person he liked, so he struggled for a long time to express his confession, and almost missed Mu Shuiqing.

Therefore, in the few days when Mu Shuiqing left the mansion, he wrote again after three years, and traced every detail of Mu Shuiqing's marriage into his mansion with a brush, expressing his own feelings.

He only found out when he was thinking about Mu Shuiqing.When she smiled, her almond eyes were clean and clear, looking pure and charming, full of vitality.When she was angry, her lips curled up slightly, inviting kisses.When she was crying, her eyebrows were slightly lowered, making her look adorable.When she was thinking about making money, her eyes rolled cunningly and she smiled broadly.

Only then did he realize that Mu Shuiqing was engraved so deeply in his mind, and any expression of her could easily touch his beating heart...

"That day when you saw me in Li Yanshan's bedroom, I lied that I was passing by. I know you don't believe me, but I was indeed passing by. On that day, I secretly went to see my mother." Now that I have decided to love her and trust her, I naturally want to put myself Tell her everything.No more lying to her, nothing to hide.

"Secretly? Why do you want to be secretive after seeing your mother?"

"Because the emperor doubts me." Ji Xiaomo sighed softly, "My mother has been ill for many years, but I can't go to see her in a fair manner. It was also the first time two years since I met her."

He looked at Mu Shuiqing and said seriously: "I knew before that you were sent by the emperor, and I even liked him."

For Ji Xiaomo's plain words, Mu Shuiqing's heart skipped a beat, and he asked bitterly: "Aren't you sad that he doubts you so much?"

Ji Xiaomo lifted the painting, reached out and pushed gently on the wall, only to hear a "click", a small piece of the wall was dented, revealing a round stone.He pressed lightly, and the bookshelf on the right creaked, and then slowly moved to the left, revealing a deep and dark passage.

"Shuiqing, I have been tempted by you for a long time, do you know why I have not said it? Because I am afraid... When I don't know your sincerity, every decision I make may make me irreparable, and let myself endure the things I have done for two years. But I am very happy that you are willing to tell me about Brother Huang. Therefore, I am willing to tell you about mine without any concealment."

He lit a candle, half bent over, then turned around and gently supported Mu Shuiqing who was in astonishment, and walked slowly into the secret passage.

"Brother Huang is not wrong in his suspicions. I am indeed plotting secretly. He sent various spies to spy on me. Perhaps the ones who came back were all because I missed the imperial concubine, and I was intoxicated by looking at paintings and thinking about people all day long in the bookstore. Maybe no one can It occurred to me that there was a secret passage behind this painting. On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, I would play the flute for Li Yanshan. It was also pretending to be confused, so that the emperor believed that I still miss the old love, and I still have weaknesses. Maybe one day I will use Li Yanshan Blackmail me into submission."

"I have been refusing to be honest about my feelings for you. One is that I am afraid that you will have bad intentions, and the other is that you will know too much and get too deep, and you will be in danger in the future. That's why I didn't explain the matter of the emperor's wife at that time. I was thinking about it in the future. I'll look for you after everything is done." Ji Xiaomo suddenly stopped and smiled bitterly, "But if I really wait until later to chase you, I'm afraid I won't have another chance..."

Mu Shuiqing always thought that Ji Xiaomo was a little sheep who could be kneaded by others. When she first entered the mansion, she saw that he was being bullied by servants. The three meals were only vegetarian. Put it in your eyes.It was rumored that the Seventh Prince's life was not long, and he only had half a year to live. Even Mu Shuiqing's family looked down on him, and they were full of plans to seize his property.When Ji Hengyuan suspected him, she still defended him against injustice, even bullied a weak person, and didn't believe her own brother.

Now, thinking of Ji Xiaomo's agile figure and fierce martial arts when he rescued her, how could he be the Seventh Prince who usually walks and coughs.

Her prince is not an ordinary person.

Mu Shuiqing said anxiously: "You told me so much, aren't you afraid that one day your secrets will be exposed or that one day you will become your weakness and be threatened by others?"

"That doesn't matter anymore. As long as I'm strong enough, I can protect anyone." He paused and said softly, "And I promised you, I won't lie to you again, so I won't hide anything from you, I I want you to know what the real me is like. If you know everything, you feel that it is too dangerous to stay by my side, and you still have a chance to leave me and stay away from all these disputes... Find an ordinary person and live with me lead a peaceful life.”

"You're going to push me to someone else again!" Mu Shuiqing was slightly annoyed.

"Okay, I'll continue." Ji Xiaomo smiled, and while holding Mu Shuiqing's hand as he walked down the secret passage, he said slowly: "Ji Hangyuan is my second brother, and we are all compatriots. The third brother is The brothers are the closest to me. Brother Sanhuang is good at martial arts. At the beginning, I watched him learn martial arts secretly. Originally, the three of us were good brothers. Everything has changed."
