The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

352 Confession
On the same day, the Dragon Guards were resting in Yao'an, and immediately rushed to Lin'an.

Zhu Linmi was worried that the remnants of the Daohong Mountain tribe would not be peaceful, so she sent all the members of the Mu family to go south with the army, and did not send them back to Lijiang Mansion together until they met Mu Yu's men and horses.

……

Mu Zhiqing only felt that she was overwhelmed by the rich fragrance, as if she was still in a dream.

She slowly opened her beautiful eyes, and she saw gardenias, roses, camellias, rhododendrons, and orchids of various colors around her, filling the whole room, as if she was in the middle of a sea of ​​flowers.

"Miss, are you awake?" The servant girl Xuecha heard the noise and hurried over, but seeing her staring at the room full of flowers in a daze, she couldn't help chuckling, "That's right, you are not dreaming! All these flowers They were all sent by His Royal Highness the Coordinating King."

"I know I'm not dreaming," Mu Zhiqing blushed when she heard the words, and said in surprise, "It's so beautiful, how did His Highness send so many flowers?"

The little maid narrowly blinked, "I don't know, you have to ask His Highness yourself.

"Oh, His Highness also ordered that I will see you when you wake up."

Mu Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, and before she could raise her hand, Xuecha jumped out of the door happily, leaving only one sentence, "I'll call him right now."

"Eh……"

After a while, someone knocked on the door of the room, and she knew that it might be His Royal Highness, and she felt sad in her heart, and said softly, "Please come in."

Zhu Linmi changed into white brocade casual clothes, opened the door and entered the room, and greeted with a smile: "Ms. Mu."

Mu Zhiqing propped herself up vigorously and was about to get out of bed to salute, but Zhu Lin hurriedly held her down, "Don't get up, be careful not to touch the wound."

Then Mu Zhiqing leaned on the cushion and asked softly: "Your Highness, these flowers..."

"Oh, I heard people say that being in a good mood will help the recovery of the injury, so I thought that girls should like flowers, so I asked someone to put some in your room."

Mu Zhiqing looked at the room flooded with flowers, and asked hesitantly, "Put some?"

Zhu Linmei smiled and said: "I don't know what flowers you like, so I asked someone to bring some flowers that can be found in this season." He rubbed his hands and said, "What flowers do you like? Tell me, and I will tell you later." Just give you this."

Mu Zhiqing lowered her eyes and remained silent when she heard the words, her expression seemed happy but sad.

Seeing that she was silent, Zhu Lin could only ask tentatively: "You don't like flowers? I was careless for a while, but I didn't expect this kind of situation. If you don't like it, I'll ask someone to remove all the flowers."

Mu Zhiqing only shook her head slightly, and the room couldn't help falling silent.

Zhu Linmi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Oh, and this one, you will definitely like it." He turned his head and shouted, "Shi Lin!"

Shi Lin, who was waiting outside the door, knocked on the door and entered the room, handed a golden birdcage into Zhu Linmi's hands, and immediately backed out.

He saw a green-haired and yellow-crowned parrot in the cage, flapping its wings and jumping up and down, very happy.

Zhu Linming raised the cage and said to the parrot, "Ms. Mu! Tell me!"

The parrot immediately called out in a thin voice, "Wooden girl! Wooden girl!"

Zhu Linmei smiled and handed the birdcage forward, "This is a Leviese parrot, the best at learning how to talk. It was a gift from a Francois businessman last month, and I left it in Wuzhou. A while ago I Thinking of how cute this guy is, I was sent here..."

"I," Mu Zhiqing raised her head, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, "Your Highness, I can't accept these. I'm just a woman whose marriage has been divorced, how can I accept your kindness..."

"Why not?" Seeing the worry on her brows, Zhu Linmei mustered up her courage and said seriously, "That person doesn't know your kindness, but I do. I just like you and want to be with you!"

When Mu Zhiqing heard the words, she froze on the spot like an electric shock.

She has learned three obediences and four virtues since she was a child, "Don't listen to evil, don't speak evil", etc. Zhu Linmi's sudden and bold confession was like a bomb exploded in her heart.

"But, I come from a humble background, and I'm not even a Han..." Mu Zhiqing clenched her cuffs in a panic.

"So what if you're not a Han?" Zhu Linmi immediately said, "You are deeply attached to Ming Dynasty, you are familiar with classics and history, and you are also a Chinese citizen like me. I just like you, a Naxi girl."

Mu Zhiqing was silent for a while, then said softly: "Your Highness, because I blocked the arrow for you and was humiliated by Najie, you feel ashamed of me, and that's why you said that?"

"You're thinking about it." Zhu Linmi simply threw out all the thoughts in her heart, "Actually, I already had a good impression of you when I was in Fujing, but I was busy with military affairs and I really didn't have time to take care of other things. Emotional matters are temporarily suppressed.

"Until that day when you were shot by an arrow and fell into a coma, the doctor said that you probably wouldn't survive that night...

"As far as I can remember, I have never had such intense fear. Even when facing the blades of tens of thousands of prisoners, I have never been afraid. But when you were seriously injured and your life was hanging by a thread, I was terribly afraid. I was afraid that you would die like this. Xiao Yu died, I am afraid that I will never see you again, I am afraid that there will be no smart and beautiful woman like you in the world...

"Until that moment, I didn't know that you were already here before I knew it..."

"Where?" Mu Zhiqing looked up at him.

"in my heart."

A surge of intense happiness surged into Mu Zhiqing's heart with a feeling of dizziness.This feeling was so unreal, she couldn't help but pinch herself hard, it hurts, it's not a dream!

She forced herself to control her emotions, and still asked softly, "Then... what about General Zhen?"

"Zhen Zhen? What happened to her?" Zhu Linmi asked in surprise.

"Your Highness...do you like her?" Mu Zhiqing asked in a voice like a gnat.

Zhu Linmei smiled and said: "I admire her heroic spirit of being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and not giving way to women. But, just admiring, I have never had any affection for her. Only you..."

Mu Zhiqing's cheeks flushed, she looked at a bunch of flowers in the room and said, "Orchids..."

"what?"

"I love orchids...

"In the future, can you give me orchids again?" Mu Zhiqing smiled sweetly at Zhu Linmei, just like the first thaw of spring water and the first birth of spring flowers.Seeing that Zhu Lin was stunned for a while, she realized that she was answering her first question.
