"Ah?" It's fine, big brother Yuchun, I will wash this handkerchief and return it to you, is that okay? "

Zi Yi held the handkerchief in his hand and asked tentatively.

In fact, he didn't want to return it at all.

"Alright, when Yi'er is free, just return it to me."

Ming Yuchen only thought that Zi Yi said this because he was too embarrassed to give him the handkerchief that was used to wipe his sweat.

"Thank you Big Brother Yuchun, I'm going to train."

Zi Yi put away the handkerchief, stood up, and went to the middle of the yard to practice his martial arts.

He did not dare to continue to sit beside him, because those strange thoughts would uncontrollably come rushing out.

Ming Yuchen opened his mouth, but in the end he did not say anything. When he was young, he could not keep his parents, and when he grew up, he could not keep Zi Yi either.

He couldn't keep anyone.

Ming Yuchen sighed, seeing Su Zongwen walking over with the fruit in his hand, he immediately collected his emotions, preventing him from noticing anything amiss.

"You've been waiting for a long time, right?"

Su Zongwen asked softly, taking an apple and passing it over to Ming Yuchen. Seeing that his complexion was slightly better, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Not to mention that he really liked Ming Yuchen, if something were to happen to him again, Ming Chengyan would definitely not let this matter rest.

"Thank you."

Ming Yuchen took it and didn't immediately put it in his mouth, but looked at Zi Yi instead. He remembered that Zi Yi liked to eat apples the most.

He held it in his hand for a long time, then put it back in the fruit bowl.

"What's wrong?"

Su Zongwen asked in confusion. He remembered that Ming Yuchen ate apples.

"I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I'll be going back first. I'll come back tomorrow."

Ming Yuchen said apologetically, and could not care about whether or not he wanted to talk, he got up and directly walked towards the door.

He needed to go back and calm down before considering whether or not he should continue learning kung fu with Su Zongwen.

He was afraid that one day, he would be able to ignore everything else.

Su Zongwen was baffled. He glanced at the apple, then looked at Ming Yuchen's hurried back figure. He really could not understand what was going on.

"Brother Wen, big sister and Ling Er are here. They said that they have something to talk to us about and are already waiting for us in the front hall."

Shen Zhu ran over to his side and urged him to go quickly so that Mu Xiangsi and Mu Qingling wouldn't have to wait too long.

"Okay, let's go. Zi Yi, remember to eat the fruit. "

He exhorted once again, and immediately followed Shen Zhu to the hall.

In the front hall.

The servants had already served tea and pastries to Mu Xiangsi and Mu Qingling. When they got bored of waiting, they started to eat.

Elder sister, Brother Wen is here.

Shen Zhu pulled Su Zongwen in and sat on the chair.

She had heard that the assassins had been caught and wanted to see them.

"Xiao Zhuzi, we have stayed in the Liang Kingdom for some time now. Last time, Rong Yin had already sent a message back, both your Royal Father and Mother were waiting to see you, do you think it's time to return home with us?"

Mu Xiangsi said as he discussed. Going back to the Qi Kingdom was a matter of course —

However, she was already married and had a child. If she was alone, she could leave as she pleased, but once she became home, she would have to prepare a lot for traveling to a distant place.

Go home?

Shen Zhu and Su Zongwen looked at each other in surprise.

Shen Zhu really wanted to see her biological parents, especially when she knew that they had been looking for her the entire time.

But if she went back by herself, Su Zongwen would probably not agree. There were many things to do in the imperial court, and he was an important person, so how could he go back with her?

"Elder sister, what are you thinking about? Mother often thought of you so much that she cried. She knew that she would be very happy to find you. If you didn't go back, she would be very sad. And there's also the Royal Father. Even though he didn't say it, he was still worried about you in his heart. Come back with us. "

Mu Qingling looked a little spoiled as she looked pitifully at Shen Zhu.

She really wanted to go back with her sister.

"I... Brother Wen, can you accompany me back? "

Shen Zhu looked at Su Zongwen. She knew that this would make it difficult to meet her biological parents and it was a very important matter.

She guessed that the Royal Father and the Queen would like to see her beloved husband, right?

Su Zongwen hesitated but he did not immediately give a reply.

He was currently in an important position, so if he were to go to Qi Kingdom, he better have a reasonable excuse. Otherwise, he would inevitably be criticized by people, and they wouldn't say that he went to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law right?

"Yue Niang, I want to go back with you, but I need to ask the emperor, and ask him to give me a reason. That way, if there's a reason, I won't end up as someone with ulterior motives."

Although the empress had already been repressed, there were still quite a few people who were jealous of him. He still had to be careful, in case he was accused of colluding against an enemy and betraying his country.

Shen Zhu thought for a while, and felt that what he said made sense, so he looked at Mu Xiangsi and Mu Qingling, "Let's talk about it after he asks the Emperor.

She was already beginning to look forward to the day she would return home.

"Well, go and ask tomorrow. Xiao Zhuzi, I have something to talk to you about. Brother-in-law, you retreat first, and Ling Er, you leave as well. "

Mu Xiangsi lightly pushed Mu Qingling, calling him a "little traitor" in his heart.

Su Zongwen knew that the conversation between the two women did not like men to be present.

But Mu Qingling was not so tactful, "Elder Sister Xiangsi, what is there about you that I cannot listen to? "It's not fair, I'm not leaving!"

She sat in her chair without moving. Why couldn't she listen to their whispers?

"Good Ling Er, I really have something urgent. You are still young, I can't listen to you, okay?"

Mu Xiangsi knew her unreasonable ability, in order to prevent her from messing around, he had to patiently coax her.

"Alright, then I'll forgive you if you buy me something delicious later."

Mu Qingling unwillingly stood up from the chair, and walked out with two steps and a turn of his head.

After confirming that Mu Qingling had left, Mu Xiangsi then sat beside Shen Zhu and whispered: "What do you think of Xiao Mo?"

She suspected that Little Ling Er had already been bribed. Seeing that it was more reliable, she wanted to ask someone who knew better.

She didn't believe that everyone was optimistic about Xiao Mo.

"Xiao Mo, I thought he was very evil at the start, but in the past few days, he seems to be a good person, especially towards you. Last time you fell down a cliff, he risked his life to take you up. The imperial physician said you couldn't be saved, so he almost killed him. "When you got better, and he stayed by your bed all night and kept whispering in your ear, I was touched."

Shen Zhu secretly laughed. She realized that Mu Xiangsi's ears were getting redder and redder, and his expression was getting more and more unnatural.

She felt that Mu Xiangsi liked Xiao Mo, but why didn't he admit it?

"Xiao Zhuzi, have you also been brainwashed by Xiao Mo?"

She looked at Shen Zhu with disgust.
