"Mu Qingwan, although I love you and love you, it doesn't mean I can indulge you infinitely!"

"Pamper me? Pamper me?" Mu Qingwan chuckled sarcastically, "I don't know when you have pampered me or hurt me. If by pampering me, you mean torturing me, insulting me, and threatening me, then I'm sorry, I

Thank you for not being sensitive! Please give it to another woman to enjoy! I, Mu Qingwan, think I am not blessed enough to enjoy it."

"You—" Xia Houlie's eyes narrowed with dangerous lines. The next second, Mu Qingwan's body was pressed against the wall by him. She was frightened by his rough movements and instinctively closed her eyes, waiting for him.

He waved his hand down, but after waiting for a long time, his cheek didn't hurt, only his shoulder ached slightly due to his increasing strength.

She opened her eyes and looked at him, and he looked at her too. The rolling emotions in her eyes gradually calmed down and turned into an unfathomable blackness. She felt that the temperature around her gradually became extremely cold, just like the temperature radiating from his body.

the breath.

As if a century had passed, he suddenly let go of her. Mu Qingwan was a little shocked that he let her go so easily this time. She was stunned for a moment, looking straight at him, his jaw tightened.

Tightly, as if suppressing some emotion, he was silent for a few seconds, and then a cold word popped out from between his teeth:

"roll!"

Mu Qingwan, as if she had received an amnesty, quickly pushed him away and ran forward.

Xia Houlie closed his eyes, and the sound of his heavy heartbeat echoed in his ears, as well as the sound of her running away gradually. After a long time, he opened his eyes. He could no longer see her figure in the corridor, only the sound of her hastily running away.

But the figure seemed to be engraved in his pupils, every detail was revealed, so clear that when he thought about it, his heart began to ache.

Only then did he realize that she actually hated him so much!

Only then did he realize that he was actually so afraid of seeing disgust and fear in her eyes.

Only then did he realize that he also wanted her to care about him, rely on him, and even love him.

But why?

She is the daughter of his enemy, the daughter of the person who killed Qing'er. How could he forget? How could he forget? How long has it been since he didn't think of Qing'er? How long has it been since he didn't think of the idea of ​​revenge?

Does torturing a person make people gradually forget their past hatred?

No, he can't forget! His Qing'er, his poor little Qing'er died in the hands of that woman's father, how could he forget?

The biting wind blew by, and he turned around and walked towards the other end of the corridor. His back looked so desolate and lonely. The wind seemed to be particularly cold tonight, as if it was determined to cool people's hearts.

Mu Qingwan rushed to her room and quickly closed the door. She leaned against the door and panted for a long time before her erratic heartbeat gradually calmed down. The puppy heard the sound and ran over quickly. When he saw it was her, he opened his mouth and began to be affectionate.

He bit the corner of her skirt to act like a coquettish girl.

She knelt down, picked up the puppy, and walked to the bedside. Just as she was about to sit down, she suddenly remembered Xia Houlie's words this morning. She quickly got up and put the puppy on the imperial concubine's couch. She sat there in a daze for a long time before saying:

"Now, you can sleep here tonight. I will help you make a warm nest tomorrow, you know? Don't be naughty, and don't get into the bed again, otherwise someone will be angry. He has a bad temper.

But you are very irritable, and when the time comes I will throw you away and even my pleas will be of no use, do you understand?"

The puppy seemed to understand what she said, and after purring twice, it crawled down on the imperial concubine's couch peacefully, but its bright eyes were still looking at Mu Qingwan. That pitiful look really made people laugh.

Mu Qingwan comforted it for a while, and then lay down on the bed. However, she tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. The image of Xia Houlie just now kept playing in her mind. She had never seen that kind of look on him before. It was depressing.

, helplessness, anger, frustration, mixed with various emotions.

She didn't know why he looked at her like that, and he was obviously very angry just now, but he let her go. This was not like Xia Houlie's style at all. What happened to him?

As she thought about it, she began to despise herself again. What was wrong with her? Could it be that she was addicted to being abused by him? When he stopped abusing her, she felt abnormal.

Mu Qingwan, you are really worthless!

Thinking of this, she suddenly stood up and picked up the puppy that was still looking at her pitifully on the imperial concubine's bed. He wouldn't let her put the dog on the bed. Why was she so obedient? Damn it!

Holding the puppy's warm little body in her arms, she suddenly felt unusually warm. She was originally very afraid of the cold, but now that she had the puppy in her arms, she couldn't help but sigh and hugged its furry and chubby little body even tighter:

"You are so warm, why don't I just call you Nuan Nuan from now on, okay?"

"Woof!"

"Nuan Nuan!"

"Woof woof!" The little guy seemed very satisfied with the name.

Mu Qingwan teased it and watched it having fun. She couldn't help but laugh out loud, and her mood improved a lot. After a while, she fell asleep holding it in her arms.

The next day, she didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning. She didn't see Xia Houlie during breakfast, and she didn't care. She went to the pharmacy to prepare all the things needed for the operation before she came out. Then she turned around the corridor and saw Zhaohe.

Coming this way.

At this moment, his face was solemn. When he saw Mu Qingwan, he felt as if he had seen a savior and said hurriedly:

"Qingwan, please go and persuade the emperor brother. He doesn't know what kind of stimulation he got. Since last night, he has been shutting himself in the room. Only this morning, Leng Ji said it was an urgent matter from Kyoto.

Door, I saw that the light was always on inside. I'm afraid he didn't rest last night. He didn't eat or drink this morning. He didn't take any medicine. He just had a stomach attack. If he works like this non-stop, his body will definitely not be able to endure it.

, Now that Yunlanshan and the others have learned about the Wanmin Book, they are about to take action. If the emperor falls down now, it will really make matters worse."

At the end of the sentence, he hammered the pillar angrily. Mu Qingwan frowned, remembering Xia Houlie's abnormality last night, and even though she didn't want to see him, she could only console him:

"Don't worry. I'll go take a look. Plus, I have medical skills to see if it can help his illness."

Although she said so, she knew in her heart that Xia Houlie's stomach problems were not easy to cure. In the 21st century with advanced science and technology, stomach problems cannot be cured, let alone in ancient times when medical conditions were backward. The only way was to supervise in the future.

He eats on time, takes medicine on time, pays attention to rest, and takes good care of himself.

"That's very good. Go and see him quickly. By the way, the emperor likes to eat what you cook. Why don't you make him something to eat and bring it in."

Mu Qingwan's eyebrows moved, but she still nodded and was about to leave when Zhaohe stopped her again.

"Qingwan..."

"What else?"

Showa's tone was very solemn, and there was no hint of joking on Jun's face. A look of hesitation flashed across his face, and he finally spoke:

"Brother, can I ask you something?"

"If eldest brother really regards Qingwan as a confidant, don't be so polite. If you have anything to say, just say it, as long as Qingwan can handle it."

"Then let me tell you straight." He glanced at Mu Qingwan, turned to look at the horizon, and murmured against the pillar:

"Although I have many brothers, the one who has been closest to me since I was a child is the emperor brother. The reason why I gave up my free life outside the palace this time is to come back to help him. Although the emperor brother owns the world, he has no control over the world.

The most miserable and pitiable person, he was sent to Xichu by his father as a hostage when he was only ten years old. Later, he narrowly escaped death during the palace coup before he took the throne. Over the years, he was so cold that he didn't even look like a mortal, until you came.

In the palace, I saw that his mood fluctuated and he really looked like a living person. Although he was angry with you and hurt you because of the Mo family being executed, please consider that he also treated Miss Mo family.

For the sake of deep love, forgive him, okay?"

As he said that, he turned to look at Mu Qingwan, with a hint of pleading in his peach blossom eyes:

"I can see that Brother Huang is interested in you. I don't care who is in your heart. I beg you, please don't hurt Brother Huang no matter what, okay?"

Hearing this, Mu Qingwan felt a pang in her heart. It turned out that she had forgotten that no matter how free and uninhibited Zhaohe was, he was still a member of the royal family. The education they received since childhood made them look down on the world. As long as they want something, they must get it.

Being favored by them should feel like an extremely glorious thing, and you should naturally shed tears of gratitude and be grateful.

Just like she is now Xiahou Lie's queen, it is equivalent to being labeled by him, and he naturally treats her as his belongings. Therefore, when he learned that Hengzhi was in her heart, he was upset and even angry. When he learned that Hengzhi was taken away

He wanted to force her back at all costs.

It has nothing to do with love, it's just a perverted possessive desire causing trouble.

"I sympathize with what happened to him, but because he wants to avenge his beloved woman, he puts the blame on me? Then I am too unjust. Now that he has shown a little interest in me, shouldn't I

Do you have to be grateful and moved to tears by his whim? Showa, if you know me well, you should know what kind of person I am. I can't do anything without talking about feelings, even if I really love you.

After falling in love with him, if I want to share him with so many women in his harem, then even if I love him again, I will choose to leave. What's more, the love you mentioned is just an illusion because you don't know the truth.

The real purpose is just to torture me, humiliate me, and take revenge on me. To be interested in me? Haha... I, Mu Qingwan, think I can't bear it."

She smiled bleakly and despairingly, with tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, feeling sad for herself. She knew this fact in her heart, but she still had to choose to hurt Hengzhi and return here.

Showa sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"I know that the emperor has not been kind to you. It is understandable that you hate him. I won't force you to forgive him. I just hope that you can treat him well during these days when you are still the Queen of Beiyan, okay? I know a Feng

I can hold you in check, but I cannot hold you in your heart. If you still choose to leave when the time comes, then... I will never stop you."

Mu Qingwan looked at him in shock: "Did he tell you that I was leaving?"

Showa's peach blossom eyes flashed, and the corners of her lips were stained with bitterness: "Have you forgotten? We are the same people, and we can't stand the constraints. Otherwise, how could we have become close friends that day when we first met?

?”

He glanced at Mu Qingwan, then looked away and stared blankly at the fiery red maple leaves not far away:

"People like us would willingly give up our freedom and be locked up in a cage only for the most important person in our lives."

For a moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Mu Qingwan's mind: If it was for Hengzhi, would she willingly give up her freedom for him and become a member of his harem?

But after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't get an answer, which shocked her. Isn't Hengzhi the most important person in her life? Even Zhaohe was willing to return to this prison for Xia Houlie without hesitation. If

She really loves Hengzhi, so why does she hesitate?

Haha, it turns out that she is also a selfish and cold person.

There was a wry smile on her lips:

"Everything in the world is unpredictable. No one knows what will happen then. I can only promise you now: As long as he doesn't go too far, then I will fulfill my responsibilities as a wife and queen every day in Beiyan, including taking good care of myself.

Take care of him."
