Ming Xi just squinted his eyes for a while, and was soon awakened by a vague nightmare. The moment he sat upright, he frowned and glanced at the open window. The breeze blew in with drizzle, and it was already wet.

ground.

He stood up holding on to the handle. His exhausted body swayed from side to side. It took him a few minutes to regain his balance. He turned his head hesitantly, as if he wanted to go directly to the cubicle at the back to rest, but he quickly gave up.

Thoughts, during this period of time, Mo Pavilion has almost become the emperor's second bedroom. He often falls asleep after nightfall, but every time he wakes up, he finds himself inexplicably lying on the small bed in the compartment, covered with warmth.

bedding, and a faint lamp will always be lit on the table.

Thinking of these things, Mingxi subconsciously touched the jade ring finger. When his eyes were bleary, he could always see a pure white shadow, silently shining into the darkest corner of his heart.

"Ha..." I don't know why I feel ridiculous. At this moment, Ming Xi doesn't want to go to the cubicle at all. He frowns and walks out. The outer cabinet of Mo Pavilion is always lit because he hasn't left yet, but it should be empty at this moment.

There was a familiar figure standing by the door of the lobby. Mingxi paused and realized it was Mu Xizhao, who also saluted respectfully at this moment. He hesitated slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't you left yet?

I should have told you to go back and rest."

"Your Majesty has been in a bad mood recently. He always stays up late alone, and I am worried." Mu Xizhao replied in a low voice. Even though he was disobeying his orders, his tone was so calm that no waves could be heard. Such calmness made Mingxi happy.

He laughed unexpectedly, and suddenly there was a hint of expectation in the corner of his mouth, and asked slowly, "It's just an ordinary cold. Recently, many beloved ladies have given me miraculous medicines. They are piled on the cabinet inside. I take one kind a day.

You can eat it for a few months without getting the same thing, so what's there to worry about? What's more, if you show up here alone against orders at this point, aren't you afraid that I will misunderstand that you have other motives?"

"I don't dare." Mu Xizhao was not frightened by his words. Instead, he slowly raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor opposite. This was originally a treasonous act, but Mu Xizhao was determined to do so.

He stared at it for a minute, as if the light in his pupils was condensing into ice little by little, "This subordinate is the medicine man of King Binding Water Prison. I can feel that your Majesty's body is not just cold, but something more specific must be yours alone."

The people closest to us know it best. The whole country is in chaos right now, so please take care of yourself."

Ming Xi was secretly surprised, and had a hint of admiration for this talent. After pondering for a while, he slowly said: "You are sharp-eyed, unlike those flattering fools, who listen to the wind and it rains. There is no need for you to guard here right now.

Exit the door behind you, and outside are the soldiers from the Military Pavilion Headquarters."

Hearing the expulsion in the emperor's words and confirming the suspicions in his heart, Mu Xizhao saluted again. Just when he was about to exit, Mingxi suddenly changed his mind and called him out again, murmuring: "

Forget it, you’re here now, just walk with me for a while.”

"Walk for a while?" Mu Xizhao thought he heard wrongly, but Mingxi had already walked past him gently and pushed open the door of Mo Pavilion. The cold wind in the middle of the night rolled up the cold rain and hit it all at once.

His face made his originally sleepy brain suddenly wake up a lot, but this move obviously startled Mu Xizhao, and he immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, "Your Majesty, the night rain is cold and cold, your body can no longer

I went out to get wet in the rain. If you want to go back to the palace, I will arrange for a bearer to come over..."

"No need." Mingxi raised his hand to interrupt him. The coldness suddenly cleared his mind and said in a low voice, "It's raining so lightly. You don't even need an umbrella. Besides, I don't want to go back to the palace. Come with me."

It’ll take a while, we just need a guard.”

While he was speaking, one foot had already stepped into the rain. The soldiers on guard at night ran over in panic, but he raised his hand and scolded him a few meters away. He said calmly: "Continue to do your own thing."

Now that the emperor had spoken, no one dared to say another word. Mu Xizhao nervously followed the frail emperor. Frankly speaking, if the three awe-inspiring words "Tian Zun Emperor" were omitted,

The young man in front of him looked extremely weak, as if the night wind was stronger and could blow him to the ground. He walked in front, and from time to time he would raise his hand to cover his mouth and cough lightly, but there was always something inside such a frail figure.

Invisible deterrence overflows like light.

Mu Xizhao couldn't help but be distracted. What kind of feeling was this? It was like a chivalrous man wearing the skin of a weak scholar, but able to pull out a deadly sword at any time. It was so subtle, but not inconsistent at all.

He suddenly felt a little emotional. He didn't notice that the person in front of him stopped and turned around, and just bumped into him. Then he heard the emperor's sneer in his ears, and asked teasingly: "What are you thinking about?

?I asked you to be my guard, not to follow me for a walk in the rain."

"I am guilty!" The first thing he instinctively wanted to do was to kneel down and plead guilty, but Mingxi directly supported his arm at a faster speed. With a gentle lift of this pale and weak hand, he actually lifted him up.

The body of the medicine man was easily pulled up, and Mu Xizhao was secretly shocked. He knew that this was the legendary emperor's unique power "Corona Sword", but for the first time, he felt it at a close distance, and it actually made his whole body stop.

I couldn't help but tremble violently.

This kind of awe seems to be innate, and it directly touches the heart and lungs.

"Is it cold?" Mingxi pressed his arm and found that he was shaking, so he just casually found an excuse to cover it up, "It's a bit cold tonight. Maybe it was so hot some time ago that people mistakenly thought that summer was coming. Now

If the spring cold doesn't hit you right away, it will be hard to guard against."

"No..." Mu Xizhao blushed inexplicably and didn't know how to defend himself. Mingxi didn't say much and continued walking along the central axis of the imperial city. Looking in the direction, his destination should be the former Holy Land.

After dark, only the soldiers who were keeping watch in the capital city had not yet rested. I was surprised to see him walking in the city with his guards at this time, and he immediately cheered up. Mingxi smiled secretly and let go

He walked slowly and said, "I came at the wrong time. Originally, they could all be lazy and take a nap at this time. When I came, they all woke up from their drowsiness."

Mu Xizhao was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer this sentence. He even felt that the person in front of him no longer looked like a lofty emperor, but an ordinary naughty child.

When he walked to Wanluo Hall, his clothes were completely wet by the rain. Mingxi pinched the corner of his clothes and squeezed out a handful of water. He shook his head and pushed the door open. This building that was once the landmark of the imperial capital was now only a towering building.

The remaining Wanluo Hall on the ground floor was still decayed and damaged after simple repairs, but he didn't mind at all. He took off his wet coat and threw it aside, and did not go to the throne that should belong to him.

, but once again stood by the window, opened the window and let the night wind and drizzle come in.

"Your Majesty... you will catch a cold." Mu Xizhao reminded him again, his tone no longer as reserved as before in Mo Ge. Mingxi paused, as if he was surprised for a moment by the faint concern in his tone, and really backhanded him.

Closed the window.

Wanluo Hall was originally the place where the armed forces held annual banquets to entertain soldiers. Naturally, there were many tables and chairs on display that had not been removed. Mingxi randomly picked a chair and sat down, then pulled up another chair next to him and motioned for him to sit together.

Down.

Such actions undoubtedly made him dare not move. Mingxi was startled for a moment, and then he realized that Mu Xizhao was a minister after all, and his relationship with him was far less casual than that of Xiao Yibai and Gongsun Yan. His fingers slowly tapped

Hitting the handle, the echo of "dong dong dong" sent out a series of responses in the empty lobby. After a long time, he waved his hand and sighed: "Sit wherever you want, there is no one else here."

Mu Xizhao could only choose a seat and sit carefully. Although he was sitting, his waist was straight and he looked very nervous. Mingxi laughed at his naive actions and couldn't help but ask: "Am I so

Is it scary? Are your palms covered in cold sweat now?"

He really squeezed his palms involuntarily, and it turned out just as the emperor said, his hands were covered in sticky cold sweat.

"Don't be so nervous. I'm going to kill you. Bei'an City should take action right away." Mingxi smiled, but his eyes were filled with meaning. Mu Xizhao looked up for a moment, as if a child whose lie had been exposed showed surprise and fear.

expression, and then immediately avoided the other person's gaze with a guilty conscience, lowering his eyes and not daring to make a sound. Ming Xi looked sideways at the anxious man, feeling extremely emotional, "At that time, you rescued Gao Jingping, but you still

After being insulted by him, you killed him and blamed Tsunami, and then hid the truth from Gao Chengchuan. I actually knew everything. The moment you took action, my people could get rid of you, but

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, they temporarily stopped."

Mu Xizhao took a breath of cold air. It turned out that the two people who attacked him in Bei'an City were really arranged by His Majesty!

Ming Xi's eyes were always calm, completely opposite to the other person's ever-changing demeanor, and he added: "After you came back, I actually didn't plan to let you go. You're lucky, I was very busy at that time.

, I really don’t have time to take care of you. If not, you are just an unknown skeleton under Feng Mo. Gao Chengchuan can’t save you. Although he is powerful, he is a man who knows the current affairs. He will definitely not openly fight with me for you.

If you go against him, it turns out that you have indeed become a discarded child in his hands."

After mentioning that nightmare-like name again after such a long time, Mu Xizhao still closed his eyes hard and tried to completely erase that figure from his mind.

"What surprised me was that you were actually saved by Xiao Qianye." Ming Xi laughed with disbelief and said curiously, "Even I was confused at the time. I thought he would definitely kill you. After all, you hate

He, in my impression, really doesn't look like the kind of person who would repay kindness with evil. He had no reason to save you, but he did it anyway, and even transferred you into his own account after that to get you away from Gao Chengchuan.

, break away from the Forbidden Army and let you regain your life."

"Pavilion Master Xiao... is not a bad person." Mu Xizhao finally spoke. This sentence made him feel strange, but he still firmly believed it.

"He chose you, and I..." Ming Xi sneered, a cold lightning flashed in her light golden eyes, "I chose Zhu Yan."

This name was like a thunderbolt that made Mu Xizhao's whole body convulse for a moment. I don't know since when, these two words have become a tacit taboo in the imperial capital, and no one is willing to mention it easily.
