The dark red robe was blown away by the cold wind, but he did not move. ###Chapter4 Mu Qingge knew what was going on, but he was not surprised by this figure. He naturally approached," Your highness, are you at ease now? "That's right. I will not tell you the truth." "As long as you know, take it." His voice seemed to be colder than the moonlight. He handed over something from afar. Mu Qingge shivered and couldn' t help but tighten his cloak." What is this?" "An invitation card. Otherwise, why would you attend the banquet in three days." He reached out his hand to receive the hot gold thread, Mu Qingge felt a bit bitter in his heart. Logically speaking, to attend such a banquet, it should have been Tao Yuancheng this fiancé to give her an invitation. However, she knew that Tao Yuancheng didn' t even want to see her, so why would she leave a post to accompany him to the banquet. "Remember our plan. If we fail, you will know the consequences." Mu Qingge cold voice interrupted her thoughts. She couldn't help but sigh when she came back to her senses. Originally, she had thought that she had completely let go of Tao Yuancheng and did not want to continue to cause trouble for such small matters. "Yes." He replied indifferently and Mu Qingge put away the invitation. No matter what, the past had already passed. She was a brand new self. Those who had harmed her in the past had to pay the price. After explaining everything, Gu Zijin left. Mu Qingge returned to bed and lay down. This day could be said to be a day of twists and turns. She should have been extremely tired, but she was so clear that she could no longer be clear-headed. It was only after midnight that he finally fell asleep on the bed, but he did not sleep steadily. She had a dream. In her previous life, she had first seen Tao Yuancheng. It was late spring. catkin flew, and Capital Yi was covered in a vast expanse of white. At that time, his father was still there, and Mu Residence was still the country's largest merchant association. He had added countless taxes to the imperial court every year. Therefore, when the Emperor held his birthday, he didn' t have any unexpected Master Mu. It was that time that Master Mu brought Mu Qingge with her that she saw Tao Yuancheng. At that time Tao Yuancheng was the youngest Duke Protector of the entire Tianqi Kingdom. He stood beside the Emperor with a gentle smile. Through the layers of palace hall, she could only feel that the surroundings were completely silent. Her eyes were filled with that figure. She thought that the so-called love at first sight, but that was all. Later on, after the banquet dispersed, she finally had the chance to come to him and talk. Who would have thought that the first sentence was. "Little brother, you' re really good looking. Mu Qingge like you." At that time, Tao Yuancheng was made to laugh or cry by the sudden woman. However, he still asked with a good temper: "Which family's young miss are you? Why are you so unruly." Before she could reply, she was suddenly caught by the Master Mu who had discovered that she had run away." Ge' er, don' t make any trouble." After saying that, Tao Yuancheng respectfully said," I' m not sensible. I haven' t offended you, right?" "So it's Mu Residence daughter." Disappointment flashed through his voice." No, it's very good." Mu Qingge couldn' t understand why he was disappointed. Because she was only the daughter of a merchant? This was probably the only reason. When she woke up the next day, she felt extremely uncomfortable. A small sobbing sound could be heard in his ears. Mu Qingge looked over at the sound and saw Tingruo crying. "What happened?" As soon as she spoke, she was shocked. Her voice was already hoarse. "Miss? !" Tingruo heard the voice and ran over excitedly. "You' ve finally woken up. That's great. The doctor said that if you continue burning, you might be confused. How can you not feel pain? Is it uncomfortable?" "It's fine." When Mu Qingge said that, he wanted to sit up, but he couldn' t use half of his strength. He could only lie back. "Young miss, the doctor said that you' ve contracted Feng Han's fever. This servant will bring you the medicine." Tingruo quickly ran out. Mu Qingge reached out his hand and touched his forehead. As expected, it was extremely burning. After drinking the medicine under the Tingruo's service, Mu Qingge finally felt much better after getting used to it. Even his voice much more normal. "Young miss, I' m sorry. This servant is always unable to take care of you." Tingruo eyes were red. It was obvious that she had been crying for too long. "Don' t say that again." Mu Qingge closed his eyes to cultivate the divine way." Also, don' t cry and hurt your eyes." "Yes." When Tingruo arrived, he suddenly thought of something and explained," Young master left this morning. I heard that someone invited him. He doesn' t know about your illness. Do you need this servant to find him back?" "No, there's no need to tell him about this." Mu Qingge waved his hand. Originally, it wasn' t a big deal, so Mu Qingfan was surprised. After sleeping on the cold prison floor for more than half a day yesterday, he left the room with only his cloak in the night. It would be strange if he did not catch the cold. It was truly a blessing, not a curse. It was a curse that could not be avoided. Originally, she still had a trace of luck. After resting on the bed for an entire day, in the evening, the Mu Qingge fever had almost completely subsided. After a while, Mu Qingfan finally returned. However, unexpectedly, there was another person who came back together. "Mr. Tao rare guest, it's really impolite for the daughter to not go out to greet her." Mu Qingge couldn't hear any emotions in his voice as he looked at the tall figure. "I heard that the Duke of Gu invited you to the mansion as a guest yesterday? !" Her voice carried a questioning tone. It was the person who had dreamed the night before. "Yes." "What do you want to tell me?" "What do Mr. Tao want to know?" Mu Qingge had a mocking expression on his face. All the information Lian Yin discovered was that he loved her, not Li Xinner. It was obvious that this was something that he had deliberately arranged. The reason for that was because he was afraid that Gu Zijin would attack the people he cared about. Thus, in order to ensure Li Xinner safety, he pushed her out as a shield. She had figured this out yesterday, but she was too lazy to break it. She did not expect that he would come to ask for forgiveness today. Tao Yuancheng's face darkened." What did you guys talk about? "Is it that easy for him to let you go?" "What? I didn' t get killed by Prince Gu's Ten Thousand Arrows. Mr. Tao seem very disappointed?" Mu Qingge smiled and said," However, you don' t have to be too disappointed. After all, Prince Gu has given me some poison." "Poison?" Tao Yuancheng frowned. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a white wrist reach out to him. "Milord, if you don' t believe me, you can investigate. Speaking of which, it is all thanks to Milord's favor that this civilian daughter is doing. Otherwise, this poison will never be able to harm me." Tao Yuancheng pursed his thin lips and said after a long while," What conditions did he meet?" Seeing that the other party didn' t want to look at him, Mu Qingge retracted his arm and said," I' ll ask you to use another antidote." "Forget it!" Tao Yuancheng was filled with anger. "Never thought about it." Mu Qingge indifferently shifted his gaze away. Fortunately, he didn' t hold any hope for him. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing at this moment. "Get up. Xinner said she wanted to see you." Seeing Mu Qingge look, Tao Yuancheng couldn' t help feeling a little annoyed. In the past, this woman had been pestering him with a shameless expression, but now, she suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable towards him. "Mr. Tao, a woman's life is on the line. How could she have the heart to see someone? Besides, I' m sick and can' t leave." Mu Qingge refused without thinking. Moreover, if Li Xinner wanted to see her, wouldn' t he come to her? Instead, he wanted her to lose her identity. "Your excuses are truly childish!" Tao Yuancheng lowered his face in dissatisfaction. An excuse? "Are you wrong?" Mu Qingge laughable. "You...... "That's right." "Tao Yuancheng, I should say that." Suddenly, Mu Qingge raised his head and looked over, his cold eyes filled with indescribable alienation. Before this, when she looked at him, she had always been adoring, sad, begging, or calm. However, she had never been so distant. He felt as if she wanted to kill him. Tao Yuancheng was a bit flustered. He grabbed her uncontrollably Mu Qingge pulled her off the bed and said," Don' t think I' m discussing with you. You don' t have the right to choose. You better obediently follow me to see Xinner!" "Ah!" Mu Qingge could only feel the heavens and the earth spinning. By the time he reacted, he had already heavily fallen to the ground. "Mr. Tao what are you doing! "Young miss' s fever has just subsided. Even if you don' t love her, you won' t have to kill her!" Tingruo quickly ran over to help Mu Qingge up and shouted angrily. Coincidentally, Mu Qingfan, who had changed his clothes, came in from outside to see this scene. He immediately rushed in and punched Tao Yuancheng face. Gritting his teeth, he said," Isn' t Mr. Tao going too far? When I met you on the way, you said that you wanted to come and see my little sister. I only thought that you' d become enlightened, but I didn' t want it to be for this!" Tao Yuancheng was hit, the corners of his mouth immediately became red and swollen. He angrily raised his fist and was about to return it. "Stop!" Mu Qingge suddenly said with a sunken gaze. Perhaps it was because he had not expected that the thin woman before him would shout such a powerful sentence. Tao Yuancheng actually stopped. He looked at the Mu Qingge, but in reality, he felt regret for his rashness. He only thought that she was pretending to be sick, but he didn' t want her to be really sick. After all, in the past, she had tried to gain his sympathy by pretending to be sick. At this moment, Mu Qingge face was a bit pale as he pulled Mu Qingfan to his side. "Mr. Tao if there's nothing else, the daughter will rest." Seeing the woman on the verge of collapse forcefully giving him the order to leave, Tao Yuancheng originally slightly regretful thoughts were swept away. Then, he took out a hot gold invitation from his chest and said:" I can not care about this punch, but in three days' time, the Emperor will take care of Prince Gu's banquet. Please accompany me." "Mr. Tao really thought things through for Li Xinner. You have to do such a complete set of scenes." Mu Qingge tightened his grip on his shirt and said with a laugh," This matter has done me no harm. Why should I agree?" In the past, in her dreams, she had wanted to stand by his side and advance with him openly, but in the end, she didn' t have Tao Yuancheng pity.
