In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

There was a hint of cruelty in her cold eyes, and she thought to herself

"Li Heng, no matter what, I can't let you die easily"

After Mu Jinan left, Ce'an asked, "Prince, do you really want to help her?"

Li Heng's eyes were dark, as if he had control over everything:

"I am helping myself"

In his mind, Mu Jinan would either go to marry a foreign prince, marry him, or be killed.

The river water creates ripples, the road leans against the hillside, the sound of chimes is audible, and the scent of incense is faint.

Inside the hall, under the green lamp and ancient Buddha, there was a Taoist nun, her face as bright as the autumn moon, otherworldly, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue with her eyes closed.

Li Huaijin stood behind him, tears welling up in his eyes, holding back the longing in his heart

"Mother, can you please come back and live here? I will build a Buddhist temple for you to practice Buddhism here."

She said calmly:

"I have left this world, and when I die, you can go to see your father with peace of mind."

"Take care of yourself and don't forget your hatred"

Li Huaijin's voice choked:

"Father in heaven would not want to see you torturing yourself like this"

She sighed and said, "It's getting late, go back early."

The hazy weather outside made him breathless, his eyes were sinister: "I will definitely kill my enemy with my own hands"

That day, Meiluo rushed into the house, breathlessly saying:

"My lady, I went to Princess Xianning's residence today to ask when the princess would return. The guard said that the princess sent a message to go to Jinzhou from the Taoist temple, and the return time is not yet known."

Mu Jinan was anxious and asked, "What should I do?"

Jing Li walked into the house and said softly, "Madam, the prince is back, please come over."

After a while, Mu Jinan came to the inner hall Qizhao Pavilion and saw that Li Huaijin looked unhappy. She asked, "My Lord, what do you want to see me for?"

Li Huaijin concealed the gloom in his eyes, but in fact he was already crazy inside. He knew what kind of person King Rui was and didn't want her to be bewitched:

"Have you met King Rui?"

Seeing that he was well-informed, Mu Jinan was obviously jealous, so he asked with a smile:

"Yun Chi told you?"

Li Huaijin couldn't get angry with her. He just felt that he didn't think highly of her. Li Heng seemed gentle, but in fact he had a violent personality. He was worried that Li Heng would harm Mu Jinan:

"At court today, Prince Rui asked my father to allow the generals guarding the border to return home to visit their families. My father praised him highly and said that he was kind-hearted."

"It won't be long before General Mu can return to Chang'an"

Mu Jinan couldn't hide her inner joy, she said excitedly:

"Is what the prince said true? That's great, I can finally see my father."

Li Huaijin's eyes were filled with incomprehensible emotions. He said softly:

"Stay away from King Rui from now on"

Mu Jinan looked down on Li Heng and had no idea of ​​his methods. It had been so long that Li Heng's actions in the original text were vague in her mind, and she was not aware that danger was approaching:

"Prince Rui has just returned to Chang'an and is now in the limelight. If I can use his power to help me, why not?"

Li Huaijin supported his head with one hand, as if he wanted to burn her through, but he didn't dare to scold her. Ever since that kiss, he had already decided in his heart that she was his princess, and he couldn't bear to scold her.

But he was also a little jealous and sarcastic:

"It is better to judge a person by his heart than by his appearance. Don't judge a person by his appearance. I advise you not to get into trouble."

"Be careful of the fire in the city gate that may affect the fish in the pond"

Mu Jinan lowered his head and leaned in front of him, blinking his eyes:

"It seems that the prince knows Prince Rui very well, but the prince does not know me"

She lowered her eyes and said with a smile:

"I have the final say on fire and life" "If anything happens to me, it will never implicate Your Majesty, Your Majesty can rest assured"

The temperature in the room was extremely low at this time. Li Huaijin felt aggrieved. He didn't mean that and he was about to explain.

Mu Jinan saw the flowers on the table and asked:

"What are you doing here withered flowers and hay?"

Li Huaijin asked tentatively: "Do you know this plant? What is its use?"

Mu Jinan took a look and said: "This is the thorn grass, which often grows between rivers and mountains and is particularly poisonous."

"This is honeysuckle, which has the effect of clearing away heat and toxicity in the body."

Li Huaijin asked: "What do these two flowers have in common?"

Mu Jinan guessed: "The commonality, the mine?"

"Equisetum accompanies gold, honeysuckle accompanies silver"

Li Huaijin suddenly realized, and a trace of admiration appeared in his deep eyes: "Jin'an, I will give you a golden bowl tomorrow as a token of my gratitude."

Mu Jinan smiled and said, "My Lord, how much money do you have?"

Li Huaijin said meaningfully: "You will know in the future."

After Mu Jinan left, Zezhou said softly: "Your Majesty, it seems that they are indeed looking for gold mines."

Li Huaijin pondered for a moment and said:

"Colluding with foreign tribes, appearing at night, and not reporting to the court before investigation"

"Send a message to the Eagle Guards, gain their trust, blend in with them, and keep a close eye on their dealings with Chang'an City."

"Send the Parrot Guards to keep an eye on the residence of the Minister of Works, especially Lu Mingxu."

Zezhou bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Huaijin wrote another letter and gave it to Zezhou. Zezhou looked at the prince in front of him. He never approached women, but now he talked to Mu Jinan intentionally or unintentionally every day and secretly drew a portrait:

"The prince is so good to Madam Mu"

Li Huaijin said in a deep voice: "You talk too much" "Go call Yun Chi"

After a while, Yun Chi came into the house and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Li Huaijin's face was grim: "Madam Mu and Prince Rui's meeting, was it a deliberate arrangement or was it accidental? What happened when they met?"

Yun Chi whispered:

"There was a woman named Shashen from the Yuhe clan in the teahouse who behaved frivolously. Madam Mu taught her a lesson. Later, she ran into Prince Rui and had a brief conversation with him. When she was leaving, Madam Mu fell down and Prince Rui helped her up. Nothing else happened."

Li Huaijin's dark eyes were filled with rage, and he felt a chill in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "Help?"

Then he snorted coldly: "He is not worthy of it"

Yun Chi lowered his head silently, not daring to breathe.

On the long street, the sun shines through the gaps in the greenery, willow branches sway in the breeze, princes and ladies are dressed in colorful clothes, confident and flamboyant, and the spring breeze carries their comfort and ease.

Mu Jinan thought to himself: "Spring is the best time of the year, far better than the willows and mist in the imperial capital." Outside the palace, there was a long line of carriages under the willows and mist, and everyone came to the palace with congratulations.

A golden nanmu plaque hangs high above the broad and grand vermilion lacquered gate, with the words "Prince Qi's Mansion" shining with golden light. Looking up, there are at least twenty long spears standing in front of the courtyard, majestic and solemn, and the atrium is as spacious as a polo field.

Walking forward, they arrived at the central hall, a two-story pavilion that was magnificent and luxurious. Mu Jinan was seen wearing a lavender round-necked robe, her hair tied with a lotus jade hairpin, and a lotus sachet hanging on the leather belt around her waist. She followed Li Huaijin with her head lowered.

Li Huaijin wore a jade lotus crown on his head, a purple stand-up collar and a blue-white robe. The robe was embroidered with peach blossom patterns, and a gold and jade belt further highlighted his perfect figure. He turned around and whispered:

"Today you are wearing men's clothes, don't enter the inner hall by mistake"

Today is the birthday of Qi Wang Li Che. Everyone came to congratulate him. Rui Wang Li Heng came to Li Che with a golden silk box in his hand and bowed:

"Today is your birthday, my brother. I wish you to be as constant as the moon, as rising as the sun, and as long-lived as the Southern Mountains, and never collapse. This is my humble wish."

Everyone had different emotions in their eyes. They saw in the box a gold-inlaid animal-head agate cup, an ox head and an antelope horn. The cup cavity was upturned and the cup body was carved from a whole piece of twisted agate. The cup stopper was removable, which was extremely rare.

Mu Jinan looked at the cultural relic with shining eyes. It was so precious. She had seen it in a museum before.

Li Heng said modestly:

"This agate wine cup was originally a treasure presented to my father. He gave it to me out of pity that I have been away from home for many years. For my brother's birthday, only this gift is suitable for his status. Please don't be so polite."

Li Che suppressed the joy and excitement in his eyes. He had wanted this treasure for a long time.

"Thank you, Brother Heng. Please take a seat."

Li Heng glanced at the future imperial concubine, but saw no trace of her, so he deliberately asked her:

"Why don't you see the princess today?"

Li Che held the wine cup and said with a smile:

"The Imperial Edict summons the Princess to Qingxue Garden to teach her about music."

Seeing that Prince Qi had clear eyes and looked fine, Mu Jinan felt that Prince Qi was a little naive. No wonder his mother plotted to murder three princes, but he still didn't sit in the East Palace. Instead, Crown Prince Li Xu took advantage of it.

Li Heng responded with a smile, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. How could the King of Qi not notice anything? If so, that would be even better. He could take advantage of this.

He looked at Li Huaijin and Mu Jinan again. In the past, he only wanted to torture and kill Mu Jinan and send her to marry, but now he was actually a little jealous of them both.
