After rebirth, my mother came to power based on her son.

Mu Qingge closed her eyes tightly, but the hand holding her neck suddenly loosened.

"Ah!" Mu Qingge screamed again. Just when she was about to fall into the water, her hand was suddenly grabbed by someone. Mu Qingge was suddenly pulled back and fell into a hug.

Immediately, she was hugged horizontally and suddenly rose into the air.

Mu Qingge glanced at the flowers, trees, roofs, and eaves that were passing quickly beneath her, and quickly hugged the neck of the person next to her.

After a while, Li Xiao landed somewhere unknown.

Mu Qingge raised his eyes and looked around. This seemed to be a courtyard.

Mu Qingge was put down by Li Xiao. She felt a little dizzy and finally managed to stand still.

"Feel sorry."

She heard Li Xiao said.

The voice is as usual.

Mu Qingge was startled, a vague guess flashed through her mind, and she only raised her eyes to look at Li Xiao: "Are you okay? Did you just..."

"Pretending."

Li Xiao's face was still a little ugly, but he didn't hide anything and admitted it very frankly.

Mu Qingge breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

But just as she relaxed, Mu Qingge said something again: "But this is a little different from what I imagined. Didn't you agree that I would accompany you in the opera? Why did you take advantage of my absence?

…”

"If I don't get here in time, won't it be a failure?"

She was almost stopped severely before.

Fortunately, I arrived in time.

Li Xiao lowered his eyes and said with a deep look, "I did it on purpose."

"If you happened to be here, it would easily arouse people's suspicion. After all, I have declared before that you are beneficial to my illness and can comfort me."

"I brought you to this birthday banquet today. If you happen to get sick while you are here, it would be a bit too deliberate."

"I made a special trip to take advantage of your absence, so they would think that someone wanted to attack me, so they deliberately lured you away."

"This way, the effect will be better."

Mu Qingge nodded, he had thought carefully.

But……

"Then earlier that maid wet my clothes with tea..."

"Coincidence." Li Xiao looked coldly: "But we can't rule out that someone did it deliberately."

"I also saw you being taken away, and I felt suspicious. I thought someone might want to take action, so I deliberately diverted the tiger away from the mountain. Therefore, I took advantage of the situation and took the first step."

Mu Qingge responded, still a little confused.

Li Xiao's disease usually occurs due to underlying causes.

In front of so many people, how did Li Xiao arrange this... introduction?

You can't suddenly get sick out of nowhere, as that might make people more suspicious.

But since it is an introduction, it must be some past events that Li Xiao cannot accept.

I'm afraid it wouldn't be good if she asked him rashly.

Mu Qingge thought of this and then changed her subject: "Then what should we do now?"

"There's nothing to do." Li Xiao sat down directly under the eaves of the corridor, casually folded a branch, and drew carelessly on the ground: "Someone will come looking for me soon, and then they will take me away."

Mu Qingge tilted her head and looked at what Li Xiao was drawing on the ground, one line after another, but she couldn't see clearly what it was.

Mu Qingge simply squatted down: "How will they take you away?"

"Tie with chains."

Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao seemed to have just said a very common thing, as if he had already been used to it.

As Li Xiao said, voices soon sounded outside.

Mu Qingge turned her head when she heard the commotion and saw Prince Ding and Princess Ding walking in with a large number of people.

Among them she saw the prime minister and his wife, Li Zhong, and a few people walking in front. They looked luxuriously dressed, and they should be Li Xiao's brothers.

She also saw the guards behind them and the chains in their hands.

When she heard Li Xiao talk about it before, she had no idea about iron chains.

Now that I see it, I can't help but feel frightened.

The chain was almost as thick as her arm.

Mu Qingge turned her head, and Li Xiao was still drawing on the ground, as if he was completely unaware of everything happening around him.

Mu Qingge raised her hand to her lips and made a sign of silence before turning around and looking at Li Xiao: "Someone has come to pick us up. Let's go back, okay? You promised me that you would

Take me back to read the book I didn't finish before."

Li Xiao paused slightly and raised his eyes to look at Mu Qingge. His eyes were cold and did not distinguish between joy and anger.

"I'll accompany you."

Li Xiao then threw the branch aside and stood up.

Mu Qingge reached out and grabbed Li Xiao's sleeve, then turned around and looked at Princess Ding: "Excuse me, Princess Ding, please let everyone leave first. Let the carriage wait at the door of the mansion. I will take Prince Ning back first.

"

Princess Ding stared at the situation in front of her and seemed to be in a daze. After a while, she suddenly came back to her senses and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, let's go first. I'll ask someone to drive the carriage directly to the second door.

Some."

"But the palace is a bit big, and I'm afraid it's easy to get lost. Can I ask someone to lead the way from a distance? Just find one person."

"Thank you, Princess."

Princess Ding pulled King Ding's hand, and King Ding waved his hand, and the others all retreated.

Once again, only Li Xiao and Mu Qingge were left in the yard. Li Xiao lowered his head and looked at the people around him: "You don't need to accompany me, just let them tie me up and send me back."

"It's always been like this."

Mu Qingge lowered his eyes: "I don't care what it was like before, I don't want to do this here today. Anyway, if you are taken away, there is no point in staying here. They will definitely surround me and ask questions

It's troublesome to ask around, why don't I go with you and let Mu Changyun deal with it then."

Li Xiao chuckled softly: "Okay, let's go."

Mu Qingge then grabbed a corner of Li Xiao's sleeve and pulled Li Xiao out of the yard.

Princess Ding and others were outside the courtyard, watching from a distance through a carved wall.

Mu Qingge's steps were neither fast nor slow. Li Xiao followed Mu Qingge with a vacant look in his eyes, like a walking corpse, but his eyes were fixed on Mu Qingge.

In this way, under everyone's gaze, they walked out of the garden step by step. Under the guidance of a maid from a distance, they arrived at the second gate and got on the carriage.

It wasn't until the carriage started to move that Mu Qingge curled up her lips. After all the fuss today, it was probably going to be lively again.

However, today was simpler than she imagined.

And not only did she steal the show at the birthday banquet, she also discovered that Crown Prince Ding was the man from the princess's mansion that day.

Once you know the identity of that man, everything will be much easier to handle.

Mu Qingge sent Li Xiao back to Prince Ning's Mansion, and then returned to Mu Mansion.

As soon as she returned to the yard, Mu Qingge saw the light rain and light snow already waiting in the yard.

"Miss, when we just came back, we heard people in the mansion talking about the second lady being pregnant."
