Lock Xin

Chapter 72

There was silence in the huge room, occasionally there was a rustling sound of pen and ink rubbing against paper.Yeluning put the book in his hand aside, took the opportunity to glance at Zi Xin's unfamiliar face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Zi Xin bowed her head and stood still in the distance, her bright eyes were slightly covered by her fallen hair, and her thin lips were extremely rosy and charming.The slender wrists were hidden under the sleeves, revealing the round fingertips as white as jade.Seeing the serious expression on Yeluning's face, Zixin slightly raised her head to look at Yeluning's handsome face. From the two heroic sword eyebrows, she slid down the high bridge of the nose little by little, and finally landed on Yeluning's pale cheeks. .

Unknowingly, Zixin stepped forward to say a few words of concern to Yeluning, but when the corner of his clothes touched the edge of the table, he slowly remembered that his current status was low, and it was not enough to say much in front of Yeluning. Ning got bored for a moment and became angry, so it would be wrong to drive him out of the imperial city.In recent days, although Yeluning appeared cold on the surface, he treated him well and never punished him too much.

Zi Xin looked at Yeluning a little bit in a daze, and unconsciously met Yelving's blue eyes, he pretended to look into the distance and lowered his head without leaving a trace.

"You're a little too close to me." Yeluning raised his arm slightly, and he could even touch Zixin's sleeve.He has always hated being too close to people, but Zixin is different. Zixin is the person he wants to spend his life with, so he naturally likes that Zixin can always be by his side.

"The subordinates were worried that the sun would be too strong and might affect the master's handling of affairs, so they wanted to step forward to block the light from the master." Zi Xin explained in a deep voice, and unconsciously took a few steps back. Only now did he know that Yeluning However, he had been with Yeluning for many days without realizing it. Perhaps Yeluning cared too much about his feelings, so he carefully hid those bad habits in his heart and showed his gentle love in front of him. temperament.

But Zi Xin loves Yelu Ning, he doesn't just like Ye Lu Ning's gentleness in the daytime, he is willing to accept everything about Ye Lu Ning, and why Ye Lu Ning has to be so careful when treating him, isn't it hard to endure.Or maybe he didn't express his intention clearly, which caused Yeluning to misunderstand.

Zixin slightly opened his lips and wanted to say something. He looked at Yeluning's slightly cold face and sighed secretly in his heart. After this incident, he would definitely tell Yeluning the love in his heart, and he would never hide it. Half a sentence.

Yeluning couldn't help laughing, he hadn't found Zixin so interesting in the daytime, he looked at Zixin's figure stepping back and said, "Stay here and shield me from the sun." Zixin stood by his side, Feeling the breath of his lover, he can feel more at ease.

"Yes." There was a hint of joy on Zixin's face. He stepped forward and pressed against the table, lowering his head slightly to look at Yeluning's face through the gaps in his hair.

Normally, Yeluning looked at him with gentle brows and eyes, and his face softened a lot, but now looking at Yeluning's cold gaze, his face became more handsome and attractive.

Zi Xin secretly tried to persuade Ye Luning to put down his pen and ink and rest for a while, but just as he was about to speak, he heard two slight knocks on the door.

"Come in." Yeluning said coldly.

"My lord, the princess wants to see you." The attendant leaned down and did not dare to look at Yeluning's face. Although he tried his best to stop the princess, he was powerless. The princess is very skilled in martial arts and noble, so he dared not hurt him at all. Princess half points.

"Let her in." Yeluning waved his hand, and just as he finished speaking, a light blue figure walked into the door.

Mu Qi looked at Yeluning who was sitting high, her smile was very sweet and charming, a faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks, as if she was shy like a little girl, her slightly curly blond hair was scattered behind her, and her collar was half exposed under her collarbone A large expanse of fair and delicate skin, with towering twin peaks faintly visible.The slender waist was tightly wrapped in the purple gauze, and the gravel decorated under the skirt gently collided with her steps, making a melodious sound like silver bells.

Zi Xin looked at the exposed skin on Mu Qi's chest, and frowned in displeasure. What was Mu Qi doing in the palace at this time, Zi Xin suddenly remembered that the princess was on the run, and now there was no one around Yeluning, so what could Mu Qi do? Will not take this opportunity to try to get closer to Yeluning.But Mu Qi didn't seem to have thought about why Yeluning hated her, and she hasn't changed her aggressive temper for many years.

"Mu Qi has seen the Lord." Mu Qi hurriedly bowed her head and saluted, but rushed forward impatiently. Now Zi Xin has seriously hurt the Lord's heart. She treated him as usual in the past, and this period of time is a good time for her to win the master, and the master will be her brother Ning alone in the future.

"I heard that the lord was poisoned, and I was very worried, but my father kept preventing me from entering the palace, otherwise I would have come to visit the lord long ago." Mu Qi felt a little resentful. Since her father knew her beloved lord, why did he still Stopping him again and again, could it be that his father is willing to watch her marry a man he doesn't love.

"King Mu stopped Xiaoqi because he was concerned about Xiaoqi's safety. Now that Xiaoqi is old, she should be more considerate of King Mu. She can no longer be as unruly and self-willed as she was when she was a child." Yeluning looked at Mu Qi's beautiful face, feeling a little helpless in his heart, Xiaoqi was the only daughter of his aunt who died young, and his aunt loved him very much when he was a child, so he couldn't bring himself to blame Xiaoqi for anything.

Mu Qi muttered dissatisfiedly in her mouth, but the smile on her face still showed no displeasure, "I was also worried about your safety, and I forgot my father's entrustment in a moment of desperation, my lord, your health is good. Got some?"

"Xiaoqi, don't worry about it. My residual poison has been cured." Yeluning said, his eyes slowly falling to stay on the small characters on the scroll.

Mu Qi was dissatisfied with looking at Yeluning's face across the table, she stepped forward a few steps to get to Yeluning's side, but was blocked by the guards in front of her, no matter how she went around, she couldn't go around.

Mu Qi seemed to see the malice of the guards, and there was a trace of anger on his face, "Get out of the way."

Zi Xin lowered her head and stood there without moving. How could he let Mu Qi succeed so easily.

"You are just a lowly servant, you dare to stop me." Mu Qi scolded angrily, even the palace guards did not dare to stop her, it is too bold for a small servant to stand in front of her.

"Go down." Yeluning waved his hand, or maybe Zi Xin was jealous just now, he really wanted to see Zi Xin jealous for him, but Mu Qi's temper was too aggressive, and he couldn't protect Zi Xin He also didn't want Zixin and Mu Qi to have any disputes.

Zi Xin stepped back to the side, her eyes still fixed on Mu Qi, Ye Luning didn't like being touched by outsiders, and Mu Qi didn't want to approach Ye Lu Ning to meet Ye Lu Ning's anger.

"My lord." Mu Qi looked at the guard still staying in the room, and felt even more upset. She opened her mouth to sue the guard just now, but was interrupted by Yeluning.

"It's just an ordinary attendant, so why should Xiaoqi care?" Yeluning frowned. In recent years, Xiaoqi has been spoiled by King Mu and has become more and more savage, even a little unreasonable.

When Mu Qi heard Yeluning's persuasion, the anger in her heart was swept away, and a faint smile appeared on her face.Without being stopped by the guards, she easily walked to Yeluning's side.Mu Qi raised her hand to caress Yeluning's sleeve, but she saw Yeluning's cold eyes mixed with a touch of blood and ferocity, she slowly put down her hand, with a trace of fear in her eyes.Although her father has been away for many years, the master in front of her is no longer the brother Ning who is a few years older than her in her impression.The beautiful dream in Mu Qi's fantasy gradually shattered, she lowered her head slightly, still feeling unwilling in her heart.

"Xiaoqi, you should go back home when you see that I am in good health. If King Mu finds out that you have been away for too long, he may be very worried." Yeluning couldn't face Mu Qi's gaze peacefully, so he put down his pen and ink and slowly turned sideways .

"When I left the mansion, the guards at the door had already informed my father." Mu Qi didn't know why his father didn't send someone to catch up, or maybe he was too busy with affairs to worry about her, but this was more to take advantage of her.

"My lord, I want to stay with you for a while, I will stand quietly and never disturb you to review the books." Mu Qi begged, she was a little unwilling to leave after seeing the lord, if She couldn't even be alone with the Lord, so how could she achieve her wish.

Yeluning looked at the determination in Mu Qi's eyes and nodded. If he tried to persuade Mu Qi, Mu Qi might not agree. However, he sent guards to take Mu Qi out of the palace, which seemed ruthless. Qi offered to leave.

Seeing Yeluning's answer, Mu Qi's face was filled with joy. She sat quietly at the table and looked at Yeluning's handsome face.There was silence in the huge room, only the occasional slight sound of flipping a book. Mu Qi played with the bracelet on her wrist a little bored. Gradually, she couldn't bear it any longer. She couldn't help opening her lips slightly, revealing the corners of her white teeth. . "Xiao Qi, you are staying in the palace safe and sound, and you know how much King Mu is worried about your comfort in the mansion." Yeluning put down the scroll and looked at Mu Qi. He will not be with Mu Qi, and he will never stay in Mu Qi Any opportunity to look forward to.

"Xiaoqi has always been very sensible in the past, and she never even worried my aunt." Yeluning said slowly. He loved Xiaoqi very much when he was a child, and it was all because of Xiaoqi's similar face to her aunt, and Xiaoqi's personality became more and more serious when she grew up. Unruly, nothing like the gentleness of my aunt.Yeluning shook his head in disappointment.

Mu Qi recalled her mother who died young, with tears in her blue eyes, she lowered her head slightly and stood up slowly, "My lord, I'm leaving first."

"Xiao Qi should be careful when she returns home." Ye Luning warned, maybe Xiao Qi is also a gentle and good girl like an aunt, but she was spoiled a little too much by King Mu.

Zixin watched Yeluning look at Mu Qi's back with softer eyes, a strange feeling flashed across his heart, he shook his head as hard as he could, trying to calm down his unhappiness.

When Mu Qi stepped out of the threshold, she slowly recovered her expression. She turned around and looked at the closed palace door, as if she didn't remember how she got out just now. She stomped her foot hard, and she finally had a chance to escape from the mansion. , how could he not cherish the opportunity to be alone with Yeluning.Forget it, she can only go back home today, she should calm down and think about how to win Yeluning's heart.
