Chapter 180 Hurt each other
The grass is growing and the birds are singing, another spring has arrived.
Wen Jiu sat on a cushion holding a teacup and pretending to be serious. In front of him was Mu Qingchen, who looked haggard.
"Where is she?" Mu Qingchen finally found Wen Jiu.
It was not easy for the two to meet alone. Emperor Zhou's spies were everywhere in and outside the capital. Recently, Mu Qingchen's big moves for several consecutive months made people who disliked him submit memorials to report him.
The corners of Wen Jiu's mouth curved slightly, his eyes were calm, and the sense of superiority and ridicule he revealed when he looked at Mu Qingchen made Mu Qingchen very uncomfortable.
He finally had to look for Wen Jiu, and tried his best to ignore Wen Jiu's gaze, saying, "I remember she told me a long time ago that if she disappeared one day, let me ask you, and you would give me the answer I want."
After hearing this, Wen Jiu put down his teacup, picked up the green tangerine on the table and peeled it leisurely. The aroma of the green tangerine immediately filled the room. When the tangerine petals entered his mouth, Wen Jiu frowned slightly.
Mu Qingchen endured all of Wen Jiu's actions and waited for Wen Jiu's answer.
"She went back to her home." After finishing a series of exhausting actions, Wen Jiu wiped the remaining tangerine juice on his fingers with a handkerchief and said casually.
"Go home? Why didn't you say goodbye to me? No, why didn't you tell me."
"Because." Wen Jiu stuffed the handkerchief into his arms, raised his head and looked at Mu Qingchen with a look of ridicule in his eyes: "Because, she and you are not from the same world."
At this moment, Wen Jiu was so proud that it seemed as if he and Qiao Shinian were from the same world.
Seeing Mu Qingchen's puzzled look, Wen Jiu stopped teasing and said, "She comes from another world, a world full of technology. In that world, there is no emperor, no... prince, and no one can take someone's life with just a mouth."
"Speak clearly, what do you mean!" Mu Qingchen clenched his fists. If he didn't have to ask Wen Jiu about Qiao Shinian's whereabouts, he would have wanted to punch this irritating boy in the face. Why was he pretending in front of him!
Wen Jiu looked at Mu Qingchen with a smile: "You didn't see how she came into this world? You didn't see how she gradually disappeared in front of you, did you? As long as she wants, she can leave this world forever."
Seeing Mu Qingchen's surprised expression, Wen Jiu became even more proud: "I have seen all of this. Did she tell you that she and I are destined to be together? That's because I am her anchor in this world. Even if she returns to this world, she will only appear by my side.
Everything I have was given to me by her, all my knowledge was passed on to me by her, and I am her only spiritual support in this strange world.
You should know that she can’t sleep well without me…”
Wen Jiu's pride was beyond words. After he finished telling everything, Mu Qingchen looked at him in despair, like an abandoned person.
He digested everything Wen Jiu said in a daze.
"Mu Qingchen, you feel very inferior when facing her, right?" Wen Jiu picked up the teacup and drank the tea in it.
"I don't understand why she likes a cowardly person like you, but I know you two won't be together for long. Your cowardly nature doesn't make you worthy of her, and she can't always accommodate you." Wen Jiu looked at Mu Qingchen and felt a lot more relieved.
Mu Qingchen's expression suddenly changed. He stood up and kicked Wen Jiu down. He stared at Wen Jiu, who was sitting on the ground in shock, with a cold look, and said in a cold voice: "Wen Jiu, you like Yoyo. Unfortunately, she only treats you as a child. You once sold her. Your behavior is unforgivable.
No matter where she is, I believe that Yoyo loves me, not someone in her world, and certainly not you, a twelve-year-old boy!
As you said, you have an inseparable fate. I think this is the reason why she keeps helping you. Once this fate is cut off, you will just be a bad kid to her!
After all, she never told you her nickname, did she? "
Mu Qingchen has always attached great importance to the word "child". The so-called mutual harm means that if you stab me with a knife, I will stab you back with a sword.
Wen Jiu stood up, his eyes no longer filled with contempt and disdain. He became a little flustered when Mu Qingchen said the word "Yo Yo". He knew that Mu Qingchen was talking about Qiao Shinian. He thought it was just Mu Qingchen's nickname for Qiao Shinian, but it turned out to be her nickname!
After a moment of panic, Wen Jiu calmed down and said coldly, "I'm just a child. This is temporary. I will grow up and you will grow old. I have plenty of time to take her away. And you are just a place where I store her. When I grow up, she will no longer belong to you!"
Wen Jiu left, and soon Mu Qingchen also left.
In the capital, many people speculated that the virtuous king's big move to find someone had caused the virtuous king to elope with someone. The virtuous king was furious and vowed to capture the adulterer and the adulteress to vent his anger!
Another piece of gossip about the Son of God quietly spread among the people.
The thirteenth prince of Chuwen State is protected by the goddess. He can bring food to the people. He is deeply loved by the goddess and can obtain many divine objects from the heavenly palace.
Foods like potatoes that are gradually becoming popular in the Zhou Kingdom are what the Thirteenth Prince Chu Wen brought back from the Heavenly Palace for the starving people in the world. So as long as the Thirteenth Prince is willing, he can bring back more novel foods that only belong to the Heavenly Palace. Then the people of the world will no longer suffer from hunger.
Of course, the potato planting area has not only been expanded in the Zhou State, but also in the Chuwen State.
After meeting with Wen Jiu, Mu Qingchen returned to Prince Xian's Mansion and ordered all those who were searching outside to withdraw. Many of his trusted followers went to work nearby to guard the palace.
The Xianwang Mansion, which had been deserted in the past, gradually became lively, and there were guards patrolling as a normal palace should have.
When Mu Qinglan visited again, she actually got Mu Qingchen's consent. This consent made Mu Qinglan very happy. She thought that Mu Qingchen must have believed the rumors from the outside world to some extent.
But when she saw the thin Mu Qingchen, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Mu Qingchen glanced at Mu Qinglan calmly and asked, "Princess Ping'an has visited you many times. What's the important matter?"
"Your Highness, I heard that Miss Qiao eloped with her lover. I am worried that Your Highness will be too sad, so I want to comfort Your Highness." Mu Qinglan said while peeking at Mu Qingchen's expression. Seeing that he did not move, Mu Qinglan took two steps forward and said, "Your Highness, that woman of unknown origin is gone, so you must take care of yourself. I see that you have lost some weight."
"Are you done showing concern?" Mu Qingchen looked up at the person who was only a few steps away from him, frowned slightly, and said with suppressed anger: "You are too late, it's time for me to give you a formal warning. If I find out that you spread rumors to damage Shi Nian's reputation, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Mu Qinglan never thought that Mu Qingchen would tell her this. She vaguely understood the purpose of Mu Qingchen meeting her this time. Thinking that he would fall to this point for a woman, she couldn't help but feel sad.
“Ms. Mu!” Mu Qingchen calmly looked at the tearful girl in front of him, his voice filled with unprecedented chill and murderous intent, “This is the first and last time I’m warning you! If I find out that you do anything to hurt Youyou again, I promise that neither your father nor your brother will be able to protect you!
I promise that your entire Mu Mansion will pay the price for your actions!"
Mu Qinglan's eyes were filled with tears as she stared in disbelief at the man in front of her who was as gentle as jade and had always looked like an elegant gentleman, but now he showed such a horrible look to her.
"You met me just for that lowly woman?" Mu Qinglan still couldn't believe it.
Mu Qingchen said coldly: "Lowly? Who is nobler than who? If you hadn't been born into a good family, you might be a beggar on the street!"
Mu Qinglan wanted to say something, but found that his throat was very uncomfortable, his chest was blocked, and even breathing became extremely difficult.
"I have already said this, you can take care of yourself." Mu Qingchen turned around and strode away without any sign of reluctance.
Mo Yang walked out from the shadows: "Please go back, Princess Ping'an."
