Chapter 48

The carriage stopped in front of the mansion, Murong Yixuan jumped out of the carriage after paying the money, and called through the curtain: "Yu'er, we're here."

Murong Yu helped Yan Zichen out of the carriage, and followed Murong Yixuan into the house.

In the hall, Rong Yilian followed several people, counting the items in the hall against the gift list.

Murong Yu looked at the messy hall, where boxes covered with red silk were scattered here and there, saw Rong Yilian's busy figure, and asked suspiciously: "Mother, what are these?"

Rong Yilian was also not curious about why Murong Yu came back, she buried her head in the heavy gift list, and replied without raising her head: "The betrothal gift."

Murong Yu was taken aback for a moment, "A bride price? I don't want to marry!"

Only then did Rong Yilian raise her head, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Yu'er, do you think that with your current reputation in the world, who would dare to come to our house to be hired?"

Murong Yu's face fell, and he said aggrievedly: "Am I really your own?"

Yan Zichen covered his mouth and sniggered.

Rong Yilian saw Yan Zichen, walked closer to take a closer look, and said, "You are? Xiaochen?"

"Yes, Aunt Lian, we haven't seen each other for many years."

Looking at their clasped hands, Rong Yilian said with emotion: "You girl is really heartless. You didn't come to Jiangzhou to see us after so many years. I think you were crying to death when Yu'er left. , I never thought that you guys are still so close now!"

Only then did Murong Yu remember, "So you are that crybaby!"

Yan Zichen glared at her.

Seeing this, Rong Yilian said earnestly, "Xiao Chen, you have grown up. The current you really look like your Aunt Mu when she was young!"

Yan Zichen was puzzled, "Aunt Lian, why am I like Aunt Mu? Shouldn't I be like my mother?"

After a while, Rong Yilian sighed: "Like, like, like your mother, but also like your Aunt Mu."

Murong Yu looked at the loneliness and melancholy in her mother's eyes, as if she had fallen into a deep memory. Presumably, many stories happened in their time, right?

Couldn't bear her to think of the unpleasant past, so he interrupted her memory, "Mom, I'm hungry!"

Rong Yilian came back to her senses, and glared at Murong Yu: "Eat and eat, you know how to eat. When you were in the manor, you only ate and slept. Let you go to the rivers and lakes to roam around. Why can't you change this laziness!"

"Mom! I'm definitely not my own!"

"If you weren't my own, I would have packed you up and thrown you out!"

"You packed me up and threw me out last time..."

"That's not throwing it out, it's urging you to go out and exercise!"

"Anyway, I'm not my own!"

"Don't worry, you are definitely my own. Although you don't look like me at all, you were born after my October pregnancy! When you can get married someday, my mother will definitely prepare for you Eldest Brother's dowry is a generous dowry!"

Murong Yu once again looked at the full boxes in the hall, as well as the busy figures of the servants in the mansion, it seemed that the betrothal gifts were quite a lot.

Only then did he realize that this was his elder brother's dowry?

"Brother's betrothal gift? Who is the elder brother going to marry?"

"It just so happens that you came back today, let's go to Prince Jin's Mansion to hire tomorrow! It seems that our family is sincere!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Zichen hurriedly asked, "Prince Jin's residence? Who is Brother Murong going to marry?"

"Prince Jin only has one daughter, so Yixuan is going to marry your elder sister, Gu Xiaojun!" Rong Yilian was very happy. She met her future daughter-in-law during the day. After getting to know her, she felt that she was dignified and virtuous. , calm and stable, and his son is also a concubine, it is a good marriage!

Only then did Murong Yixuan speak up, "Zichen, I think you will have to call me brother-in-law in the future!"

Yan Zichen frowned, could it be that the baby in sister's belly is his?

The thoughts in Murong Yu's heart at this time were similar to those of Yan Zichen, but she didn't know if her mother knew or not, and there were many people around, so she didn't say much.

"Yixuan, when will your father come back?"

"I still don't know, why don't I ask someone to ask?"

"Forget it, go tell the kitchen to prepare dinner."

Murong Yixuan nodded and went out, Murong Yu snatched the gift list from Rong Yilian's hand and took a look, tsk tsk tsk, her mother is really rich and powerful!

Rong Yilian pulled Yan Zichen to sit on the chair to reminisce about the past, such as how these years have passed.

After the dinner was ready, the servant girl came to call them, so they walked into the dining room together.

At this time, the sky was dark, and the four of them sat down on the table and began to eat.

Coincidentally, when Murong Zhentian came back, he asked someone to refill a bowl of rice and sat down to eat.

"I just said why I didn't pick you up when I entered the palace today, so you slipped out to play!" Murong Zhentian had just come out of the palace, and when he learned that Murong Yu was serving as Yan Zichen's bodyguard recently, he wanted to go into the palace to meet him. She came back to have a family reunion.So I went to meet Gu Tingrui, wanting to ask for convenience, after all, they still have some friendship.

Unexpectedly, when the palace people went to look for them, they found out that they had already left the palace, so they chatted with Gu Tingrui in the palace all afternoon before returning home.

"Father, are you very familiar with the emperor?" Murong Yu asked, since she entered the palace, the emperor took good care of him because of him when he first met her.

Murong Zhentian sighed, and said melancholy: "That's all in the past. The few of us experienced life and death together at the beginning, but it's a pity that too many accidents happened later."

Then, he looked at Yan Zichen with a complicated expression.

The atmosphere was momentarily gloomy.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to the Prince Jin's Mansion to be hired tomorrow, it's a rare day of great joy, don't think about those unpleasant things today." Rong Yilian gave Murong Zhentian a glare.

A meal was finished in such a silent manner.

Yan Zichen was a little unhappy, Rong Yilian secretly asked Murong Yu to accompany her.

Naturally, Rong Yilian didn't need to say that she would.

Rong Yilian and Murong Zhentian had to compare the gift list, so Murong Yixuan asked them to take them back to their room to rest.

Murong Yixuan led them to the room that had just been tidied up, and the two rooms were closely adjacent to each other.Murong Yixuan left a few maidservants to wait at the door, and then left to get busy.

Murong Yu sat in the room for a while, thinking about their reactions today, they were all a little strange, especially Yan Zichen, who was even more depressed.

So, she opened the door and waved the maids to leave.Graciously pushed open Yan Zichen's door and walked in.

The room was pitch black, but Murong Yu's eyesight was excellent, and she saw at a glance that she, who was usually agile, was looping her legs helplessly, sitting on the bed stupidly, motionless.

Murong Yu felt a little distressed, her princess should be proud, although she was a bit willful at times, but how could she be so, so embarrassed?

Close the door, light the candle, and walk to the bed in three steps.

The man didn't even respond to the light in the room, as if he was deep in his own memories.

Murong Yu put his hands on her head, and gently stroking her hair, then she raised her head, forced a pale smile, "You're here."

Murong Yu pretended to be disgusted and said, "It's such an ugly smile!"

Yan Zichen lowered his eyes.

Murong Yu moved his hand to her cheek, and softened his voice: "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. In front of me, you just need to be the most authentic self."

Yan Zichen was slightly startled, then hugged her waist tightly, buried his cheek in her belly, just hugging her like this, without saying a word.

Murong Yu put his arms around her head, and still stood where he was, without moving.

Until Yan Zichen raised his head away and said slowly, "Did you know that my mother died."

Only then did Murong Yu sit beside her and put his arms around her thin shoulders, "Well, I know."

Yan Zichen took advantage of the situation and found a comfortable place to sit down, and continued, "She died in front of me."

Murong Yu didn't know how to respond.

Yan Zichen didn't care if she answered or not, and continued talking.

At this time, she just wanted to confide in a good way, telling Murong Yu all the grievances and fears, hatred and hatred of these years.

"During that time, my mother seemed very happy. Every day she told me a lot of interesting things about her when she was in the teacher's school. She said that she was always bullied by Aunt Lian, that Aunt Mu would always protect her, and that No matter what, they treated her very well."

After a slight pause, she said bitterly: "She said she didn't like this imperial palace. She told me about the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, the yellow sand in Saibei, and the exotic customs. She asked me if I would let her take a look. I told her, mother I will be there, she is very happy. In the next few days, she is always very busy."

"That day, she told me that she was going to take me away, and asked if I wanted to live the life of a princess, or wander around the world with her. Of course I wanted to follow her! But I was ignorant at the time, thinking that she just wanted to take me out of the palace Just play for a few days."

"That night, assassins came to Xiyu Tower. There were many assassins, and they were very powerful. My mother is not weak, but she is outnumbered. I went to call for the guards, but no one responded. In the end, my mother died."

Her voice became choked.

"She died in front of me. I still remember her bloody appearance. She smiled and told me with her last breath, let me say sorry to Aunt Mu for her. At that time, she smiled beautifully, so It was the last time I saw her smile."

Murong Yu wiped away the tears from her face, and said distressedly: "Don't say any more."

"No, listen to me, mother died, that man came with his guards, and the assassins were all taken down. But, what a coincidence, the palace is heavily guarded, why are there so many of them?" Assassin? The guards are strictly disciplined, how dare they leave their posts without authorization? So I hate, hate all of them, and one day I will make him regret what he did. The cage in the palace is really just a cage without his mother. It's a prison."

Murong Yu kissed her hair, "You still have me. I will accompany you to see the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. I will accompany you to enjoy the scenery in Saibei. I will accompany you to experience the exotic customs. As long as there is me Now, as long as you are willing, one day I will take you all over this wonderful river and mountain."

Murong Yu never knew that Yan Zichen was enduring such pain in his heart.

Yan Zichen felt warm in his heart, but tears flowed down like pearls with a broken thread.

She couldn't stop it no matter what, what to do, she clearly didn't want to cry.

Murong Yu felt distressed, and took out the handkerchief in her arms to wipe away her tears, but after wiping the tears off her face, new tears would flow down again.

Simply, he threw away the handkerchief, held her face in his hands, kissed away her tears with his lips, and swallowed them one by one.

After a long time, she stopped crying, hugged Murong Yu tightly, and asked anxiously: "Will one day, you will abandon me like your mother?"

"No." Murong Yu said firmly.

Yan Zichen finally broke through his tears into a smile, and kissed her lightly on the corner of her mouth.

It's just such a seal, and there is no other excessive move.

After being in Murong Yu's arms for a long time, she felt a little sleepy, so she took off her coat and got into the quilt wearing only her middle coat.

Seeing that she was about to rest, Murong Yu got out of bed and walked outside, but her hands were tightly held.

"Where are you going?"

Murong Yu replied seriously: "It's late at night, so naturally I went back to rest."

Yan Zichen bit his lower lip, wondering if he should keep her, but what he blurted out was: "Didn't you sleep in my room every day?"

After she finished speaking, she regretted it. Listening to this, how could there be an ambiguous feeling?

Murong Yu smiled evilly, "His Royal Highness today, could it be..."

She paused, and then said: "Do you want me to serve the bed again?"

Yan Zichen blushed, "Who...who wants you to sleep in bed!"

Also, what is another!

However, her hand still did not let go.

Murong Yu snorted and said with a smile, "I'm just going to turn off the light."

Yan Zichen really felt that he was ashamed and humiliated, so he quickly pulled up the quilt to cover his head, hiding inside and not coming out.

After a while, a slender hand tore off her quilt, and there was a warm body beside her, and the slight scent of medicine lingered at the tip of her nose, which made her inexplicably at ease.

"Don't hide it, it will be suffocated."

The person beside him spoke, his voice soft enough to ooze water.

So, she didn't feel awkward anymore, and went straight into the man's arms.

The original low and melancholy atmosphere no longer exists.

The rest is just peace of mind.

No matter what the environment is, as long as she can touch that warm body and smell the slight fragrance of medicine, she can feel at ease.
