C107

Xue Ruyun sat down, looking at the full moon and people's circle. In her heart, she felt a never before seen contentment and contentment. From then on, there was another person by her side that she could care about and rely on.

However, the inside of the wall was full of joy, but the outside of the wall was filled with sorrow. They were both almost identical faces, yet they had a completely opposite situation. As he imagined everything that was happening in the garden, his heart sank to the depths of the ocean. He had originally wanted to ask her about his intentions today. If she was willing to be together with him, then even if he had to give up on this mountain and river, he would rather not have the entire world.

"However, I was too late this time." "I came late. In the end, I came late." Destiny didn't matter. Mu Zheng looked at the full moon in the sky, feeling lost.

After Mu Sheng finished his swordplay, he sat in the courtyard with Xue Ruoyun for a long time before bidding his farewells.

"I'm leaving …." There had never been a time where he had been so reluctant to leave.

"Yes, be careful." Xue Ruyun waved at her, watching him walk out of the wall. He thought about what had happened today, so he became even less able to sleep.

As soon as Mu Sheng walked out, he saw Mu Zheng, who had lost his soul, waiting for him there for a long time.

"Royal brother, what are you doing here?" Mu Zheng asked in surprise.

Mu Zheng waved his hand, signalling for Mu Sheng not to make a show of it in fear of disturbing Xue Ruyun.

"Let's go back to the palace and have a chat." Mu Zheng put his hand on Mu Ying's shoulder.

Mu Sheng could feel that his hand had never felt so heavy before. Presumably, his heart was heavier than his hand at this moment. He did not need to think to know Mu Zheng's purpose in coming. He truly felt very fortunate. He inwardly rejoiced that he had found Xue Luoyun earlier and expressed his intentions. Presumably, he had already heard the conversation between the two in the small courtyard earlier.

Although he felt sorry for Mu Zheng, he felt that he had done the right thing after all. If he had hesitated a bit more today, if he had been even a little bit late, then the person who had promised him today might have been Mu Zheng.

Mu Sheng was extremely happy for himself, but at the same time, he understood the feelings within Mu Zheng's heart. After all, if the person outside the door was him, he would understand the feeling of loss and empathy he felt.

The two returned to the palace in silence. The Emperor dismissed all his servants. Mu Sheng was left alone in the palace with the two of them.

"Come, let us brothers have a good drink together today. It's been a long time since we've had a drink together." Mu Zheng poured himself a glass of wine as he spoke.

"Royal brother, let me do it." Mu Zheng stood up, flattered.

"Sit down, don't be so tight. We're both the same." Mu Zheng insisted on falling.

"Then, your servant obeys." Mu Sheng stood with his hands crossed, watching Mu Zheng pour the wine before sitting down with his legs crossed.

Mu Zheng raised his glass and said, "Come, cheers!"

Mu Rong Zhan looked at him hesitantly, then raised his glass and said, "Cheers."

Mu Zheng raised his head and downed the entire cup of wine. Only then did he take a sip, feeling that the wine was exceptionally spicy to the throat. As the goblet of wine fell, tears almost welled up in his eyes.

"Are you all right, royal brother?" Mu Ying asked worriedly.

"It's fine, it's fine. "Come, let's do it again." Mu Zheng shook his head and filled another cup.

"Let me toast this cup to royal brother." Mu Ying raised his cup and toasted him first.

"Come, drink some more." Mu Zheng poured another cup. After three cups of wine, Mu Zheng's face turned red. Mu Ying looked at him and frowned, his face filled with bitterness. He felt a bit sorry in his heart and knew that all his words were empty, so he could only quietly accompany him in drinking.

"How did you do it?" Mu Zheng drank a few cups and finally couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth.

"How did you convince Mother to agree to your marriage?" This was because the empress dowager knew about Xue Ruyun's prejudice against Mu Zheng, something he couldn't convince. How could Mu Ying have done it that night?

Mu Ying hesitated for a moment. "I have handed over all the military power to you in exchange. I request that Mother bestow this marriage upon me."

"What?" You were willing to give all this to Her Majesty. " Mu Zheng was shocked.

"If you hand it over, from now on, you will be an idle prince with no real power." Your former status and glory are no longer here. You've only received these honors after battling for many years. "

"Don't you think that your servant did the right thing? If I can win Xue Ruyun's heart, I'm afraid if it were him, he would even be willing to give it up to the world. With a single word, Mu Ying had broken Mu Zheng's heart.

Mu Zheng smiled bitterly and declined to comment. It was still Mu Ying who understood his thoughts. He raised his head and drank a cup of wine, his tears almost falling. "So what if I am willing? I was still a step too late. I lost her in the end."

"Royal brother, I'm sorry." Mu was from the bottom of his heart. Seeing Mu Zheng like this, he felt really sad. The two of them had been intimate ever since they were young. Even though Mu Sheng was his younger brother, he couldn't tolerate anyone bullying Mu Zheng. He had always been his protector. As long as it was something he wanted, regardless of whether it was a toy or a mountain, he would give it to him. But this time, he couldn't give up.

Mu Zheng shook his head. "What's there to be sorry about between brothers? Not to mention, emotions can't be forced."

"Since you're so sincere to her, why did you go and cancel the engagement when I gave it to you?" When Mu Zheng thought of this matter, he still resented it in his heart. He felt that he had hurt Xue Luoyun in this matter.

"At that time, it was mother who did it, so she didn't ask for my permission." Mu Ying felt helpless.

Mu Zheng was speechless. As a mother, he always called her brothers' best in the name of love, but it always backfired and did bad things for their own good. At this point, Xue Luoyun no longer cared about this matter, so he couldn't say anything.

"I envy you." Mu Zheng sighed with emotion from the bottom of his heart. You can pursue what you want as you please, unlike me. "

"I'm just a little bit luckier than royal brother." Mu Sheng sighed and asked himself. If it wasn't for the fact that Mu Zheng wanted to marry off his wife, he would never have thought that he could make such a big decision.

"It's all thanks to your good fortune." After so many years, Mu Zheng had thought that he could find someone like Xiao Die to make up for his shortcomings. However, there were some things that would never come back once they were lost. Maybe I've been sentenced to a lifetime of loneliness since I was born. Mu Zheng closed his eyes, stopping the tears that were about to roll down his face and forcing a smile.

In his mind, he unceasingly recalled the scenes of when he met Little Butterfly and Xue Ruoyun. Every time he thought that happiness had come, he would be overjoyed. He never would have thought that Yue Lao was just joking with him.

Looking back, perhaps it was possible that Xue Luoyun still liked her a little. She was so happy when she was with him. It was a pity that he didn't have the time to manage this relationship and receive her love. The Emperor's burden was too heavy. The only thing he could give to Xue Muyun was to quietly protect and care for him. This time, he was one step too late. Perhaps if he had made up his mind first and expressed his mind to Xue Ruoyun first, he might not have felt that regretful anymore. Mu Zheng sighed in his heart.

But now that he understood her feelings, he could also see that Mu Sheng valued her greatly. He couldn't disturb them any longer. Thinking of this, Mu Zheng forced a smile as he opened his eyes. Shaking his head, he looked away and raised his glass. "Cheers."

Seeing him in such a state, Mu Ying's heart also felt very pained for him. How could fortune make a fool of people? The two brotherhood deeply loved the same woman at the same time.

"Do you remember when you were a child? When Father gave us a painting of ink, we both liked it very much. But you gave him to me and said you didn't like it. But I know that every time you go to play with me, you can't help but take a few more glances at that painting. " Mu Zheng lay down flat on his back and recalled.

Thinking of this matter, a smile appeared on Mu Sheng's face. "So you know all of this, but I don't regret it." He was willing to give it to Mu Zheng.

Mu Zheng placed a hand under his head. "Later on, when royal father was in critical danger and everyone was fighting with their heads bleeding for the throne, you were willing to give up the fight for the throne for me. Even if I have to settle this war peacefully and blow away all the sand in the territory, I will give up my throne to me and protect my glory for the rest of my life. "

"At that time, you said that you would get the woman you love after taking the throne. Of course I'll help you." Mu Ying felt that it was reasonable to do so.

"However, in the end, I was still unable to defeat her. I won the world, and I lost her." Mu Zheng closed his eyes, feeling incomparable pain.

"All of this is predestined. Sometimes, there must be something in life." Mu Sheng sighed.

"Maybe." Mu Zheng had no choice but to believe in this life. The heavens were fair, and this time, it was his turn to give up.

He lay down for a long time and then sat up. "I can see that you are sincere to her. As long as I can see that she is happy, I have no regrets."

"Thank you, royal brother, for agreeing. This cup is for you." Mu Ying cupped his hands and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"Since she is the daughter of the little butterfly, she is also like my daughter. From now on, I am willing to continue to protect her and care for her as an elder. Give her to you, and I'll be at ease as well. You must treat her well. "

"Yes." Mu Sheng was extremely grateful. Seeing that Mu Zheng was thinking this way, he was already more at ease.

"Come on, we won't leave unless we're drunk tonight."

"Alright, let's do it."

"Do it." The two of them talked all night long, drank all night long, and got very drunk the next day. I almost missed the morning assembly. When the Empress Mother heard of this, not only did she not blame him, but she felt relieved. It looked like the two brothers had already spoken, and the empress dowager felt much more at ease this time.

In next to no time, the empress dowager passed down the wedding decree, causing Xue Duan Sheng to be overjoyed. Whether it was the emperor or the conquest of kings, they were all high and mighty aristocrats, holding an important position in the Western Lion Country. The Xue Clan was blessed this time.

Seeing that he was about to succeed and was going to fail, Mu Lingfeng felt indignant and threw a glass of wine onto the floor. Xue Shaoli was so frightened that she stood aside, not daring to say a word. She was scared out of her wits.

"I didn't expect that this little bitch who didn't become the imperial concubine would actually become the concubine of the conquest king again. If she isn't going to cling onto someone with imperial authority, then she'll marry someone with military authority. Why does she have so many tricks up her sleeve?"

Madame Zhao's teeth were itching with hatred, but she couldn't do anything to Xue Ruoyun. Only in normal daily life would he be able to use some tricks and make Xue Ruoyun suffer a little.
