Chapter 248 Return of the King (9)

Mu Qingge stomped her feet, but she recovered immediately, with a smile on her lips: "Princess Yongle is very good, but I am not worthy of her."

These words made Qin Jinchen stop and turn to look at her. The eyes that directly reach the heart fell on her, and she said slowly: "The conceited little gentleman has become humble."

conceited?

Mu Qingge's mouth twitched, and she sneered: "I never imagined that the wise king, who has always been ignorant of common affairs, would actually act as a matchmaker."

"Because, that's Lian Lian." Qin Jinchen raised his head slightly, his tone was light, but he couldn't refuse.

Mu Qingge sneered: "King Xian is really funny. Why, do you want to impose your preferences on others?"

Qin Jinchen lowered his eyes, unable to see his true joy and anger.

After a long while, he said, "I just want to know the reason."

"King Xian seems to believe that I am the only one in the world who can make Princess Yonghuan happy?" Mu Qingge said with narrowed eyes.

Qin Jinchen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she explained her reason: "She likes you, and you are not a heartless person."

Mu Qingge laughed jokingly: "To receive such an evaluation from King Xian, my Lord is really lucky for three lifetimes. However, did the Lord forget the lessons learned from Princess Changle? My Lord is not an infatuated person."

However, Qin Jinchen said indifferently: "Changle is different from Lianlian. My mother-in-law is not Jiang Guifei either."

"What about Prince Xian? Is it different from Prince Rui? Is this why you sent someone to escort you secretly ten months ago?" Mu Qingge's eyes narrowed into a line, and a dangerous light flashed between them, pressing him everywhere. .

Qin Jinchen's calm eyes flashed, but he didn't answer.

Mu Qingge hooked her lips and smiled: "I'm afraid King Xian is a bit strange, why would I know it's you?"

Qin Jinchen raised his eyes, those calm but black and white eyes looked at her, as if searching for the answer.

"It's actually very simple, but I didn't think about it at first. Using the method of elimination, the most unlikely person is you. Because you are low-key, harmless, like invisible, you don't attract the slightest attention, and people forget your existence. But no one thought that you could actually control a group of extremely capable dead men. Who would believe that you had no ambition? I am afraid that when the prince and Prince Rui were fighting, they all forgot that among the adult princes of Qin, There is also a virtuous king." Mu Qingge said playfully.

When investigating this conclusion, Mu Qingge was also a little unconvinced.

Who would have thought that the virtuous king, who has always been inconspicuous, could secretly cultivate power?

And, so deeply hidden.

In the end, if it wasn't for Mu Qingge's gaze on Qin Jinchen and letting Gu Ya run away in person, she would have had a hard time believing that the master who helped her block the assassination appeared next to King Xian.

Qin Jinchen stared at Mu Qingge for a long time, and then calmly said, "I'm not interested in that position, and my mother-in-law doesn't want me to be fascinated by power." It seems that he doesn't care about his secrets Known by Mu Qingge.

However, Mu Qingge didn't believe it at all.

A prince who has been neglected, who has been dormant for so many years and cultivated a powerful force in secret, actually told her that he did not have the heart to seize the reserve?

Mu Qingge's undisguised sneer seemed to hurt Qin Jinchen's eyes, causing him to lower his eyes and avoid the burning gaze.

Seeing that he was silent, Mu Qingge was about to leave.

However, she just took two steps. The cold and lonely voice came again: "It seems that you really forgot what happened in the past."

Once upon a time? What ever happened? Could it be that Mu Qingge, that girl, has something to say about this virtuous king?

Mu Qingge was surprised in her heart, but she turned around with a still face, and looked at him coldly with her clear eyes.

Under her gaze, Qin Jinchen took out something from his arms, spread it in his palm, and showed it in front of Mu Qingge: "Do you still remember it?"

Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes, and her eyes fell on Qin Jinchen's palm, the small bamboo tube.

She's not the original product, so I really don't know what this bamboo whistle represents!

Slowly raising her eyes, Mu Qingge looked at Qin Jinchen.

Qin Jinchen clenched his palm gradually, retracted his own hand, and said, "I remember, that was when I was ten years old. At that time, you were only about seven years old. You are the grandson of Mu Xiong, the god of war in Qin, and enjoy the glory of the Mu family. And I'm just an ominous sick and weak prince. In the palace, not only my brothers can bully me, but even the palace servants can bully me. Because, they know that no one will come to investigate. That time, I was surrounded by several servants. In the corner of the imperial garden, under the punches and kicks, I just felt my blood surging, and it seemed that I would die at any time. In desperation, you appeared and chased away those inner servants who bullied the weak and feared the hard."

When Qin Jinchen said this, he smiled. As if caught in a memory: "Actually, your fists, your feet, did not fall on those servants at all, they were flexibly avoided by them. However, they desperately begged you for mercy, and left with a piss on their buttocks. "

His calm and unwavering eyes looked over with emotion for the first time. However, Mu Qingge felt extremely embarrassed, because she knew that the person Qin Jinchen was talking about was not her.

"After they left, you laughed at me for being unpromising. Such a big man was actually bullied by minions. At that time, I was quite complaining that you didn't know the inside story. However, you suddenly gave me this bamboo whistle and told me that in the future If anyone dares to bully me, let me blow the bamboo whistle, and if you hear it, you will rush over to help me beat them." Qin Jinchen clenched the bamboo whistle in his hand even tighter.

"You won't really believe it." Mu Qingge said with a slight twitch. This kind of words is obviously used to deceive children!

Qin Jinchen nodded calmly and said firmly, "I believe it. After that, every time I was beaten, I would blow the bamboo whistle. However, you never showed up."

"Then you still believe?" Now, it was Mu Qingge's turn to be surprised.

Qin Jinchen looked at her: "Later, I learned that the palace is too big, and the sound of the bamboo whistle cannot be heard from the palace. You don't live in the palace, so how can you hear it? If you can't hear it, it won't appear. You can hear it, and I'm sure you will show up."

"..." Mu Qingge was speechless. She is not the deity, so she doesn't know what the real Mu Qingge thinks. But if she did make a promise, she thought, she would fulfill it.

"You send someone to escort you secretly, isn't it just to repay your kindness as a child." Mu Qingge suddenly guessed.

Qin Jinchen didn't deny it, but said to himself: "Gu Shi and others recognize me as master. Everything is a coincidence. And so, I also have the ability to protect the people I want to protect. I am not uncommon for the throne."

After all, he walked towards the outside of the palace. It seemed to herald the end of the conversation.

Mu Qingge walked out of the palace and parted ways with Qin Jinchen. Behind her is the carriage of the Prince Xian's mansion that is drifting farther and farther. She looked back, looked at the carriage, and couldn't help thinking in her heart: If Mu Qingge was like Qin Jinchen back then, she would still remember a promise she made when she was a child. Will there be a different ending today?
