Mu Lan’s Rebirth
of Phoenix Nirvana: The Road
to Glory and Favor of the Demon Queen of the Confused Country: An Oil Lamp Has Withered Up.
Mu Lan’s hair was uprooted, and the smell of blood ran into his nose.
“Your Majesty, I won’t be able to sleep well at night after seeing this.” Mu Zhihua pretended to be weak and his eyes were full of malice.
“My beloved concubine, when I have imprisoned the soul of this temptress here and disposed of all the remaining evils around the temptress, no one will be able to harm my beloved concubine.” Li Shiyuan hugged Mu Zhihua, and his words were particularly cruel.
Mu Lan’s body was tied to the stake, so the residual consciousness looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes gradually changed from pleading to indifference. In the corner of the
prison, there is the body of a baby.
It was Mu Lan who gave birth to the prince in October, but now because of a sentence from Mu Zhi’s painting, it was made into a medicine guide.
She hasn’t held her baby with her own hands.
She was the legitimate daughter of Prince Mu, the present queen of the State of Zhou, but she was eventually reduced to a chess piece. From the day she returned to the mansion, every step was a trap, and she trusted people by mistake, which eventually involved dozens of lives in Fengqing Palace, as well as her own flesh and blood. Before his
consciousness disappeared, Mu Lan bit off his teeth and said word by word, “Mu Zhihua, Li Shiyuan, I will make you pay for your blood. I will..”
…… When
Mu Lan sobered up, he found himself in the secret passage beside the water well. There was a scream of horror in
my ears, mixed with the sound of a sword coming in and out.
Mu Lan had a moment of trance, she actually returned to the age of sixteen, the night of the turning point of fate.
She closed her eyes slightly and listened to the killing sound in her ears gradually stop. There is no one alive in the
Gu family.
[The little prince wants to make sure Mulan is dead.]
[Thirty people from Gu’s house are here. Make sure there’s nothing missing.]
Yes, thirty lives of Gu Fu in the last life were destroyed in an instant. And the mastermind of all this is none other than Mu Lan’s cousin Mu Zhantian.
And this killing is only to prevent Mu Lan from returning to Mu Wang Fu. At the
critical moment, her adoptive parents sent Mu Lan to the secret passage under the well and asked her to wait for the people of Mu Wangfu to pick her up and leave.
Her adoptive parents burst into tears and told her over and over again not to come out.
Mu Lan knelt down with tears in her eyes, her voice firm and strong: “Father, mother, my daughter will certainly give you revenge.”
Suddenly
, a small sound came from the mouth of the well. Mu Lan got up and walked step by step toward the entrance of the darkroom.
Suddenly, she picked up the gravel, in the hands of luck, and then shot out at a high speed, directly cut the throat of the guard who had just climbed down the bottom of the well, the guard covered his neck with blood, and looked at Mu Lan in horror.
Mu Lan stood with an expressionless face, his messy hair covering his face, covering his beautiful face, like a female ghost crawling out of hell.
The bodyguard didn’t have time to say a word, so he fell to the bottom of the well with a splash, without a sound. There’s a ghost
down there.. Ghost. Still People.. The voice of the man on the well trembled.
Go down and have a look. Better to kill by mistake than to miss. The faces of the people above have changed.
Another bodyguard went down.
This time, Mu Lan did not even give the other side a chance to fall into the dark room, gravel shot from the palm, cut off the other side’s hamstring, hand tendon, the last gravel nail in the other side’s eyebrows.
Silently, the bodyguard opened his eyes and fell down, and when he saw Mu Lan, he wanted to speak, but he had completely lost his voice, leaving only panic.
Mu Lan stood motionless all the time. The people on the
well saw this scene and looked at each other, and no one had the courage to go down.
“Is it the people of the Ku Mansion who have come for revenge?”
Quickly.. Walk quickly
“My Lord, then here..”
Keep it, yes, yes.. To the outside world, it is said to be the hand of Ku’s enemies.
……
The next day, when the sky was bright, Gu Fu once again heard the voice. For
a night, the pungent smell of blood did not diminish, and the body also emitted a stench. Chen, the housekeeper in
charge of supervision, could not help but feel sick.
Just then —
“There are people there.” The guard said quickly.
Chen butler hurried over.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a dirty little girl sitting in the middle of the courtyard.
Obviously is a little girl, but give people the darkness of the bone, calm can no longer sit calmly in the thirty bones of Gu Fu.
Like the King of Hell who came from the underworld to claim his life.
The housekeeper’s breath was heavy. “You …” Are you Mulan?
“Yesterday my foster mother told me that someone would come to take me back to the mansion today, but in the middle of the night, countless men in black broke in, and all through the night, Gu’s mansion wailed.”
In the previous life, Mu Lan not only could not avenge his adoptive parents, but even the whole house was burned down by Chen’s housekeeper.
“Wang Yeh is busy with his official duties, so he doesn’t have time to take care of such trivial matters.” As
he spoke, butler Chen looked at the guards on one side and said, “Burn this place with a torch. I want to burn it clean.”
The voice just fell, Mu Lan suddenly smiled.
Laughter is very seeping, it is already late spring, but there is a cold winter.
Chen was so frightened that he didn’t want to look at Mu Lan’s eyes any more. He immediately told the bodyguard: “Send the young lady to the sedan chair, and get ready to go back to the house.”
“The slave obeys.” The bodyguard answered respectfully and walked quickly toward Mu Lan.
As a result, when the bodyguard came to Mu Lan, the sword that had been hanging on his waist suddenly came out of its sheath, and the sword fell into Mu Lan’s hand, so the blade was against his neck.
“Miss, what are you going to do?”
“The Ku family raised me for 16 years, but now I’m dead and I can’t have any peace. As an adopted daughter, I can’t even redress my grievances. I can’t even give them a tombstone. How can I live up to the Ku family’s 30 lives?” The
sharp edge of the sword had been slightly against a few minutes, and the blood from the neck seeped out.
Chen’s voice trembled. “Don’t be impulsive,” he said. “This is a trivial matter for the slave to do. The slave immediately ordered people to bury all the people in the Ku family.”
Chen butler ordered the guards to Gu Fu up and down 30 people to be carefully buried, and Gu Fu to clean up the top and bottom, until there was no trace of blood.
“Miss, can you go home with the slave now?” Chen butler now in the face of Mu Lan, has become cautious, dare not have the slightest neglect.
“You are a wise man, steward Chen. You know very well what to say and what not to say.” The rest of the words, Mu Lan did not speak again. The
slave understands. Don’t worry, Miss. Say that finish, Chen butler personally helped Mu Lan onto the sedan chair.
The sedan chair was extremely simple, and even the sedan chair used by the big girl in the mansion was better than this one.
But Mulan doesn’t mind. The more such an environment, the more she can keep awake.
Those blood debts, she will ask for them one by one.
…… On the
first day, the housekeeper Chen found the best inn in the city and asked for a room. Tired of traveling
all day and dealing with all kinds of situations, Mu Lan was a little tired. She leaned on the pillow and squinted for a while.
Suddenly, the closed curtain moved, Mu Lan pretended to sleep, but in the dark, she saw that the window paper had been broken.
Mu Lan got out of bed and walked quietly to the window, with a slight effort in his palm, the steel ball had already bounced out, just hitting the acupoint of the person outside the house, and the bamboo tube on the window paper fell down in an instant.
Mu Lan picked it up and smelled it.
It’s LSD. It’s fatal if inhaled.
Mu Lan held his breath, put out the bamboo tube, pushed the window of the next moment, the window has been directly outside the room, the dagger against each other’s throat.
“Say, who sent you to assassinate me?” Mu Lan asked bitterly word by word.
Then Mu Lan saw it in the eyes of the other side-
stunned.
Yes, consternation.
Mu Lan sank and did not take the initiative to open his mouth.
Her rebirth also means that the trajectory of history has changed. Then in addition to what she knows about the previous life, there may also be accidents.
For example, Mu Zhantian will not be willing to come back and kill himself.
After all, the news that she was still alive had reached the palace of Prince Mu, and it was impossible for Mu Zhantian not to know.
But apparently, the surprise in the assassin’s eyes had made it clear to Mu Lan that he had mistaken him for someone else.
Did you live in this upper room by mistake and become the scapegoat?
“Who sent you?” Mu Lan’s dagger was a few minutes closer, and blood had seeped out.
The assassin was unable to move, and then looked at Mu Lan’s dagger, directly biting his tongue to commit suicide, instantly lost interest in front of Mu Lan.
Mulan was sure that the man was dead, so he released him.
And not far away living Chen butler has also heard the noise, the first time with people rushed over, see the situation in the house, Chen butler’s face also changed.
Mu Lan looked at butler Chen, who immediately knelt down and said, “Miss, the slave has no second thoughts.”
“If you had two minds, you wouldn’t be here now.” Mu Lan waved his hand to Chen to stand up, and then said, “I’m looking for someone to deal with it here, and how did this upper room come about?” The bodyguard
behind him immediately dragged the body out. Housekeeper
Chen twisted his eyebrows and pondered. Then he said, “When the slave came, there was no room in the inn. Then suddenly he said there was. The slave didn’t think much about it and asked to come down. Now it seems that the slave was negligent. Please forgive me, Miss.”
Mu Lan nodded and said nothing more.
It seems that she really accidentally became the scapegoat of others, if not for her vigilance, the person who died tonight was herself.
And these people are obviously not Mu Zhantian’s people.
Mu Zhantian’s people, Mu Lan recognized clearly.
“Miss, the slave is looking for someone to guard outside the door. Such a thing will never happen again.” Housekeeper Chen also had a lingering fear, and the short journey went wrong one after another. If
Mu Lan had not gone back, he would have lost his life.
……
In the middle of the night, nothing happened. Early
the next morning, Mu Lan had breakfast, and Chen’s housekeeper was ready to set off for Prince Mu’s mansion.
On the way, Chen butler was always vigilant.
And the sedan chair Chen butler also tidied up, installed cushions and pillows, so that Mu Lan can be more comfortable.
Mu Lan was leaning quietly, resting with his eyes closed. What she needs now is to conserve her energy and return to Mu Wangfu, which is the beginning of a long and tough battle.
When approaching Shen Shi, Mu Lan wore a gauze on her face and got out of the sedan chair to relieve herself. For the sake of safety, butler
Chen followed two bodyguards.
But men and women are different, and the guards are not too close.
Mu Lan went to the hidden position, and when he was about to untie his clothes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the movements in his hands stopped.
Then, Mu Lan precisely walked to the southeast corner, broke off the withered grass, and saw a masked man lying in the haystack, gasping for breath.
The haystack had been stained with blood, and the smell of blood came again.
But the man is still keen, a clasp of Mu Lan’s hand, eyes heavy looking at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan recognized him at the moment when the other side looked at him. Li Shiyu, the
fourth prince today.
Last time, Li Shiyu was the most powerful competitor of Prince Li Shiyuan. He devised strategies within a command tent, but ultimately fell short of success. In Meridian Gate, he died under the sword of Prince Li Shiyuan. Prince Li Shiyu boarded the plane, and the Zhou Dynasty was completely plunged into irreparable tragedy.
But Mu Lan and Li Shiyu only met several times.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu quietly for a moment and said, “Please let go. The civilian women are not harmful to you.”
Li Shiyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Lan.
“Who are you?” Li Shiyu asked in a deep voice.
Mu Lan smiled faintly: “It doesn’t matter who I am. Now there are wolves in front and tigers behind, and you are seriously injured. Only I can save you. So, can you have a better attitude?”
Li Shiyu looked at her and suddenly smiled. Then he loosened Mu Lan’s wrist and said, “Tell me, what are the conditions for saving me?”
“He is indeed a wise man.” Turning his wrist, Mu Lan reached out his hand and took off the jade pendant from Li Shiyu’s waist. “Just take this one.”
Li Shiyu is stupefied, this jade pendant is left by mother imperial concubine, he carries with him all the time. People who are
close to Li Shiyu know that seeing the jade pendant is like seeing Li Shiyu himself. Does the girl who
looks like she is nearly a teenager know that she has come prepared, or is it a coincidence.
“Why, don’t you?” “If you don’t want to, there’s nothing to talk about.”
Li Shiyu knew that Mu Lan was not making irresponsible remarks.
“Thank you.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
Mu Lan pulled off the clothes from Li Shiyu’s body, blindfolded Li Shiyu’s eyes, and then called the guards not far away.
“Take the men to the sedan chair and clean up the place.” Mu Lan ordered directly.
The bodyguard looked at each other, and Chen butler saw the movement and ran over, and when he saw Mu Lan holding a man out, Chen butler’s face changed.
“Miss, what are you..” Housekeeper Chen twisted his eyebrows.
From Gu Fu to see the Mu Lan who climbed up from the bottom of the well, he knew that Mu Lan was not simple.
But he also never thought, Mu Lan can at any time and anywhere out of different situations, and Chen butler read countless people, but now can not tell what Mu Lan in the end to do.
“Just in time to see injustice on the road and draw a sword to help.” Mu Lan’s face did not change. “Go to the town ahead, find an inn, and leave him behind.” Housekeeper
Chen didn’t move. “Is there a problem?”
Asked Mulan carelessly.
The tone sounded casual, but the housekeeper suddenly came to his senses and immediately replied, “The slave knows.” Then he turned around and said, “Why don’t you pack up quickly? Who dares to say more about what you saw today? Wait for your head to fall off.”
The bodyguard is full of trepidation.
Mu Lan did not pay attention to, she still holding Li Shiyu, toward the sedan chair, after Li Shiyu settled down, to make sure that the scene can not find a trace, the sedan chair slowly toward the next town.
Li Shiyu was badly injured.
But even under such circumstances, Li Shiyu did not lower his vigilance. Li Shiyu and Mu Lan did not speak a word
until the sedan chair stopped at the inn in the town. Housekeeper
Chen had obviously explained that the sedan chair was parked at the back door of the inn. Mu Lan did not get out of the sedan chair. He looked at Li Shiyu and said lightly, “Your Highness, I can only send you here. I think your subordinates will arrive soon.”. For the rest, you have to ask for your own luck and hope to see each other again in the future.
Li Shiyu was blindfolded, but still asked aloud, “Why did the girl come to save the king? And why did she ask for the king’s jade pendant without asking for anything else?”
Mu Lan smiled softly and said, “Maybe I was bored, so I saved it.”. The jade pendant just seemed to like it, so I asked for it. It is obvious that it
is perfunctory.
Li Shiyu did not ask any more, soon, he was helped out of the sedan chair, the inn people took Li Shiyu, the carriage quickly turned away, did not stop for a moment.
…… Near noon on the
third day, Mu Lan’s sedan chair arrived at Prince Mu’s mansion.
Prince Mu’s mansion was quiet, the vermilion door was locked, and no one went out to greet him, only the side door was opened.
Mu Lan was not surprised.
After the sedan chair landed, Chen butler immediately stepped forward, personally set the stool, and helped Mu Lan out of the sedan chair.
“Miss, now that the old lady is seriously ill, everyone in the palace is chanting sutras and praying for the old lady, so the palace is short of staff. The slave will personally take you to the courtyard. Do you think this is good?” Every word, Chen butler is careful, for fear of accidentally offending Mu Lan again.
Mu Lan smiled, but didn’t mind. “It doesn’t matter.” House
keeper Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
He followed Mu Lan step by step, entered Mu Wangfu from the side door, and carefully introduced the pattern of Mu Wangfu and Mu Lan.
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and listened quietly. After
your mother passed away, the head of the palace is now the imperial concubine. She lives in the East Pavilion and likes to be quiet. Don’t go to the East Pavilion when you have nothing to do on weekdays, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble. The other two concubines and Wang Yeh’s concubines lived in turn at the end of the West Pavilion, while the young lady lived in the South Tower. The young Wang Yeh was conferred the title of King of Yi County, and was given the royal palace of the county to live independently.
Chen’s voice came slowly, with a strong cadence: As for the other young prince, although he didn’t confer the title, he was independent as an adult, and the prince didn’t ask about it. The imperial concubine arranged for you to be in the West Building, which is the closest ancestral hall to the palace, and is also the old lady’s favorite place to stay. You must accompany the old lady at all times and places.
……
Chen butler said every point carefully.
This is a treatment that has never happened in the previous life.
In her last life, when she arrived at the palace, she had already been frightened beyond recognition. Chen’s housekeeper sent her back to the West Building directly, and no one paid any attention to her.
Even the slaves and maidservants who served them did not come until a month later.
This month, Mu Lan stumbled, so that the side of the imperial concubine was unusually dissatisfied with her, not less blame, but at that time Mu Lan with a grateful heart, feel that they are not good.
Now that I think about it, it
‘s stupid.
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and eyes, hid his deep meaning, and walked leisurely toward the West Tower. Where is
the West Tower? It seems to be the closest to the ancestral temple, but the West Tower is a demarcation point. The maids and slaves of the palace all live in the West Tower.
And the room left to Mu Lan is just far away from the ancestral temple.
Seemingly very close, but can not directly cross, walk to the ancestral temple need to bypass a whole palace, coupled with the road conditions are not familiar with, Mu Lan is late every day, naturally lead to the old lady’s anger, more and more dissatisfied. You can imagine
the end. Anyone with a discerning eye can see whose conspiracy
all this is.
She is the eldest daughter of Mu Wangfu, and now everything that Mu Zhihua has should belong to herself.
Whatever the reason, she returned to Mu Wang Fu, the side of the imperial concubine naturally alert, afraid of what variables, the fastest speed to get rid of their own is the best policy.
Especially after Mu Zhantian massacred Gu Fu thirty lives, but still let Mu Lan escape the disaster.
Eradicate, is the side of the imperial concubine’s best means.
Suddenly, butler Chen, who was explaining slowly in front of him, knelt down and said, “See the king of Yi County. The king of Yi County is a thousand years old.”
How interesting.
It’s really a narrow road for enemies, and it’s particularly envious when enemies meet.
Mu Lan’s spine is very straight, there is no meaning of kneeling, even with a bit of laziness, eyelids lifted, there is no meaning of kneeling. House
keeper Chen is in a hurry.
Mu Lan appears to be calm.
In her last life, she escaped, but she didn’t know Mu Zhantian’s appearance. Mu Zhantian also blocked her here and gave her a blow in public. She was imprisoned before she arrived at the West Tower. No one noticed it until the next day.
But Mu Zhantian was innocent, thinking that Mu Lan was a servant without rules.
This matter, no one complained, the past.
Mu Lan is also completely reduced to Mu Wang Fu, even a big girl can casually bully people.
But now
“how dare I see the king of this county not kneeling down to pay his respects?” Mu Zhan day cold face, sharp look at Mu Lan, the voice also followed the gloomy down.
When Mu Zhantian learned that Mu Lan had arrived at Mu Wangfu, he waited for Mu Lan on the only way.
Mu Zhantian thought he could see a panicked, dirty, no decent smelly girl, but he never thought that Mu Lan appeared in front of him, but since the opposite.
The plain little face was not made up, but it was enough to make the three thousand beauties in the harem pale.
Again simple bun, casual pull up, indifferent look of eyebrows and eyes, seemingly lazy, with infinite amorous feelings, but in such eyes, Mu Zhantian actually saw a trace of unexpected coldness.
Cold to the bone marrow.
Mu Zhantian was somewhat surprised, but he reacted quickly: “Somebody, slap me!”! Throw it into the woodshed to reflect! The butler
Chen was also a little frightened. “King of Yi County, this is him.”
But Mu Zhantian directly interrupted the butler Chen. “The butler Chen, when he sees that the king of this county doesn’t salute, the king of this county is going to teach the disobedient servants in the palace a lesson. Isn’t it all right? Besides, how can butler Chen, who is so busy, have time to personally lead a slave around the palace?
But Mu Zhantian’s words fell, the bodyguard behind him came forward directly, and raised his hand to slap Mu Lan in the face. It was the bodyguard who did it that
flew out!
Mu Lan’s eyes are getting colder and colder. King of
Yi County, in terms of seniority, when you see me, shouldn’t you ask Ann to say hello. After all, there can only be one legitimate daughter in Prince Mu’s palace, that is, the daughter born to the imperial concubine. Even if I live among the people, I can’t change this fact, just as the king of Yi County can’t change the fact that he is the son of a side concubine.
Mu Lan calmly narrated a fact: “I, Mu Lan, have returned to the palace. Everyone in the palace knows it. Even if no one welcomes me, it is an established fact.”. When the king of Yi County slapped him down, he wasn’t afraid to get people to talk about it. He said it was the house of the side concubine. Don’t you have any ideas?
Mu Zhantian’s face changed again and again.
He never thought that people raised in places like Gu Fu could be so timid, as if they had stepped on the bones of ten thousand people and stepped up to today’s high position step by step.
His palms gradually clenched into fists.
“The king of this county thought it was some minion who didn’t have eyes, but it turned out to be Mu Lan’s sister who had come back.” Mu Zhan’s face did not change. “Then ask your sister to have a good rest, and the king of this county will not bother you.” With
that, Mu Zhantian left.
The sullen complexion never softened.
This is also the first time that Mu Zhantian was criticized and could not say a word.
In the Zhou Dynasty, Mu Zhantian and today’s prince are intimate, is the prince’s confidant, coupled with the emperor’s favor for the prince, the prince’s accession to the throne is just around the corner, who saw Mu Zhantian is not to give three points of thin face, seven points of comity, only this Mu Lan.
From inside to outside, Mu Zhantian lost face.
This Mu Lan must be removed.
But one side Chen butler complexion is calm, already is not strange a face, in the heart to Mu Lan’s view once again changed.
Indeed, a person who can face corpses all over the ground, but can not change his face, is not so simple on the surface.
Chen butler looked at Mu Lan subconsciously. I have thought about it
in my heart.
This Mu Lan, I am afraid, will make a complete change in the pattern of Mu Wang Fu.
Soon, Chen’s calm voice came out: “Miss, you come with me.”
“Thank you.” Mu Lan turned into the well-educated lady again and followed the housekeeper Chen in the direction of the West Building.
Yes.
The whole Mu Wangfu people thought that Gu Fu was an ordinary merchant family, and the people taught could not be elegant, but Mu Lan was very clear about the real origin of Gu’s husband and wife. Gu yuanzhi, the head of the
family, is a descendant of the ghost hand. His exquisite medical skills are unmatched by today’s imperial doctors, but because of the persecution of the ghost hand, Gu yuanzhi no longer treats people.
But all the medical skills were passed on to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan keeps in mind that not everyone wants to save people by practicing medicine.
But Gu yuanzhi’s wife Li Ruolan is the world’s first embroidery heir, but suffered the disaster of extinction, Li’s embroidery room also followed the complete decline. The embroidery girl of the
Li family, who is still outside, is far from the glory of the past.
But the skill of the Li family is also something that these leading embroidery houses can never catch up with.
Mu Lan’s youth is spent in medical skills and embroidery, every move, Gu’s husband and wife are in accordance with the most stringent standards to require Mu Lan.
Mu Lan’s natural grace is not comparable to that of ordinary women.
But now
Mu Lan’s low eyebrows and eyes hid their ruthlessness, quietly followed Chen’s housekeeper, turned numerous bends, and finally arrived at the West Building.
“Miss, this is your residence.” Chen looked carefully at Mu Lan and said awkwardly, “If you need anything, just tell the slave, and the slave will prepare it for you.”
Mu Lan grunted and then looked at Chen: “I’m new here and I don’t have any money to give to Chen, but I’ll remember this kindness, and I’ll return it.” The
implication, tell Chen housekeeper clearly, she Mu Lan will report.
If you treat me well, I will treat you better. If you treat me badly, I will respect you.
Chen immediately shook his head and said, “I dare not.”. The slave will find you someone to serve you.
Mu Lan nodded and walked quietly towards the West Building.
Chen butler also turned around and ordered.
The West Building was as empty as Mu Lan had seen in his previous life, with nothing but a bed to rest on, covered with dust, and not even a thin quilt.
Last life, she was in such a place, after a whole month, was known.
Be known that day, Mu Lan was almost beaten black and blue.
Just because I was late for the Buddha Hall again.
Mu Lan looked at everything in the West Building, gently stroked the dust on the table with his hand, and his white skin was instantly blackened by the dust.
Mu Lan stood motionless. When the
wind blows, the skirt floats up, obviously down and out of the environment, but with a trace of condensation of noble gas, people subconsciously stop. This is what the housekeeper
Chen saw when he came with the lotus fragrance.
He came to his senses and immediately said, “Miss, this is Hexiang, who will be your personal maid from now on.”
Mu Lan then slowly turned around, the cat pupil slightly dense fog, looking at the lotus fragrance kneeling in front of him, ears are all too familiar with the soft waxy tone.
“I’ve seen Miss Hexiang, a slave.” He Xiang paid his respects.
Mu Lan walked step by step toward the lotus fragrance. She helped the lotus fragrance up in person, and her eyes fell on her: “Get up.”. From now on, you and I will support each other. If I have glory, you will be rich. If you are poor, I will not abandon you.
It’s good that she can see Hexiang again. The lotus fragrance of the
previous life, Mu Lan was seen a month later, and the end of the lotus fragrance was beaten to death in front of Mu Lan, Mu Lan begged, but no one paid attention to it. Before he
died, he looked at Mulan and said, “Miss, you have to be good. He left first.”
Hexiang is the only person who is sincerely good to himself when Mu Lan enters the palace of Mu Wang. Can see again
now, the heart of Mu Lan is pressing excited, look at quietly.
He Xiang was obviously flattered. “Thank you, Miss.”. The slave will surely serve the young lady well.
“Get up.” Mu Lan opened his mouth gently.
He Xiang immediately stood on the edge of Mu Lan. House
keeper Chen was slightly stupefied, as if he had not expected Mu Lan to release his goodwill to He Xiang, but he did not think much about it. He coughed lightly and then said awkwardly, “Miss, this house is a bit shabby. The slave will send someone to bring what he needs later. There is nothing else the slave can do.”
“There’s Lao Chen, the housekeeper.” Mu Lan nodded, not too embarrassed.
Then, Chen butler left in a hurry.
He Xiang was standing respectfully, as if he was also speculating about Mu Lan.
Hexiang is an inferior girl in Mu Fu, unable to serve her master, but now she is suddenly transferred to serve the young lady of Mu Fu, which also makes Hexiang a little flattered.
She was even personally arranged by Chen’s housekeeper.
Only after arriving at the West Building, Hexiang was somewhat confused about the current situation.
In a place like Mu Fu, although it can not be compared with the palace, but also step by step, step by step, carelessly is to lose his head.
“Lotus Fragrance.” Suddenly, Mu Lan opened his mouth and called Hexiang.
“Miss, if you have anything to say, just say it.”
“Take it easy.” Mulan walked up to Hexiang and looked at her tenderly, gathering all her sharpness and holding Hexiang’s hand. “Follow me well. I won’t let you suffer.”
“Yes.” He Xiang answered.
Mu Lan nodded, but also did not explain much, after all, the reincarnation of life and death such a thing, not everyone believes.
She loosened Hexiang’s hand and then calmly said, “Don’t clean up here for the time being. Housekeeper Chen will send someone over to take care of it later.”. You comb my hair, find me a suitable suit, not too flashy, simple and elegant, and then come with me to see the old lady.
He Xiang also did not think much, more did not ask, immediately according to Mu Lan’s command to do.
She found a plain skirt for Mulan, fetched water, let Mulan wash his face, and carefully combed Mulan’s hair.
Mu Lan looked at himself in the bronze mirror, the slight traces on his face had been covered by the foundation, and the bright facial features were striking enough with a little makeup. The lovely girl in the
bronze mirror, with a bit of girl’s coyness, has infinite amorous feelings in the depths of her eyes.
Obviously is in the extremely dilapidated place, but actually does not affect Mu Lan’s temperament, at a glance is unforgettable.
“Miss, you are so beautiful.” Hexiang couldn’t help saying.
Mulan gave a low smile and said, “He Xiang is also very beautiful.”
Hexiang blushed a little. Instead of teasing Hexiang
, Mulan stood up and motioned to Hexiang to lead the way. Hexiang thought for a moment and said bluntly, “Miss, the old lady has just finished reciting sutras. She was very tired when she came out. If you want to go, I’m afraid the old lady will scold you.”
That’s the truth. The people of the
Mu Mansion would never go to the old lady at this time. The only people who accompanied the old lady were the two Mammy who were close to her. If they disturbed the old lady’s rest, they would be punished to be confined in the firewood room.
“Do you believe me?” Mu Lan looked at the lotus fragrance and asked lightly. Without thinking
, Hexiang answered, “Believe, if the maidservant is a young lady, naturally you should believe in the maidservant.”
Mu Lan nodded, said nothing, and walked quietly out of the West Building.
Hexiang did not speak and immediately followed up, leading the way ahead.
Mu Lan looked at this again familiar road, she bowed her head and smiled sarcastically, hiding a cruel look in her low eyebrows and eyes. On
this road, she walked in Mu Fu for several years.
In the previous life, when she came back, she did not go to pay her respects to the old lady at the first time. The next day, she was accused of being disrespectful and was locked up in the woodshed without eating or drinking for a long time.
What’s more, when the daughter of Prince Mu returned to the mansion, she had to inform the present emperor in the law of the State of Zhou, so the emperor naturally sent someone to come.
So the last life of Mu Lan was not only charged with disrespect, in the old lady that completely lost the reputation, even in front of the emperor, have left a very bad impression.
In this life, how can Mu Lan let history repeat itself.
She gathered down the deep meaning, but the surface is calm, all the way to the direction of the ancestral temple.
Suddenly
Mu Lan’s footsteps paused, and the lotus fragrance had already noticed the Mu Zhi painting coming leisurely not far away. Mu Zhihua was very popular not only in Mu Fu, but also in front of the emperor. He was conferred the title of young lady and had close contacts with several princesses and concubines in the palace.
Because Mu Zhihua has a sweet mouth, even the empress Dowager likes it very much and calls Mu Zhihua into the palace from time to time.
Naturally, the price of Mu Zhihua is also rising, and those who go to Mu Wangfu to say that they are close can step on the threshold of Mu Wangfu.
In front of outsiders, Mu Zhihua is gentle and intellectual, and looks beautiful. When she smiles, her eyebrows and eyes are curved. She looks like a completely non-aggressive person, so you can’t help but dig out her heart and lungs. The same is true of Mu Lan in the
previous life.
But it is such a person who let Mu Lan dig out his heart and lungs, but eventually pushed Mu Lan into the abyss, even his own flesh and blood were buried in the heresy of Mu Zhihua.
“Miss” He Xiang saw Mu Lan stopped, looked at Mu Lan strangely and called out.
Mu Lan looked up, but calm.
“Miss, that’s Miss Yi. Miss Yi is a gentle person. She is a very easy person to get along with in the palace. Everyone likes her very much.”
“Is it?” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly.
He Xiang looked at Mu Lan and nodded cautiously. “If you and Miss Yi get along well, you’ll be much more comfortable in the palace.”
“Lotus Fragrance.” Mu Lan glanced at the Lotus Fragrance and then said, “You know a person’s face but not his heart.”. Be careful about people and things, and don’t just treat people with kindness. This is the best way to protect yourself.
Ho-hsiang was stunned and nodded passively. “Yes, the maidservant knows.”
Mu Lan did not say anything, nor did he evade, and walked in the direction of Mu Zhihua. When Mu Zhihua saw Mu Lan, he was a little surprised, smiling gently on the surface, but his eyebrows and eyes flashed with disgust. On the side of
Mu Zhi’s painting stood two tall men.
Mu Lan recognized at a glance that it was Mu Zhanxiao and Li Shiyu.
She quieted down and paid her respects. “I’ve seen the fourth prince, the second brother.” Then, Mu Lan looked at Mu Zhihua, but did not open his mouth.
She just looked at it, not for a moment.
Mu Zhi painting was Mu Lan to see some fear, eyebrows and eyes of the impatience has become more and more obvious, but in front of Li Shiyu, Mu Zhi painting is not good to show, can only pretend to be enthusiastic.
“I’m afraid this is Sister Mulan.” Mu Zhihua’s soft voice came, which seemed to be pleasant to listen to.
Mu Zhanxiao looked at him quietly and did not speak. He just stood quietly. Li Shiyu, who was standing beside him, smiled gently and brushed his hand. “Get up,” he said.
“Thank the four princes.” Mulan was blessed, and then stood up. Out of the corner of her
eye, she glanced at Li Shiyu with some surprise in her eyes.
Mingming Li Shiyu was seriously injured two days ago, but now he looks like a person who has nothing to do and can talk and laugh here. In the
previous life, Mu Lan knew little about Li Shiyu and had almost no contact with him.
Only know Li Shiyu is a gentle and refined person, it happened to be such a person, in the final time to rebel, just fall short of success, was beheaded by Li Shiyuan in Meridian Gate.
But this life, Mu Lan only then knew, originally in oneself very early already saw Li Shiyu.
Remembering the jade pendant she had asked for from Li Shiyu, Mu Lan clenched his fist in his sleeve and hid his surprise very well.
This man is far more dangerous than he looks.
“Where is my sister going?” Mu Zhihua was dissatisfied with being ignored by Mu Lan and took the initiative to break the silence.
She looked at Mulan’s face with an indescribable jealousy.
Mu Zhi’s paintings are beautiful, but they are much inferior in front of Mu Lan.
Her beauty needs to be set off by beautiful clothes and jewelry, while Mulan is just a little makeup, but it can make people remember everything. Bright facial features, so that the sun, moon and stars have been eclipsed. How can
Mu Zhihua be willing to be robbed of all his eyes.
Plus the identity of Mulan.
Mu Zhihua’s nails have been firmly pinched into the flesh, but on the surface, she still has to maintain her consistent image.
But Mu Lan looked at Mu Zhihua with a smile, such a smile, more and more let Mu Zhihua nervous, and even, in Mu Lan’s serious, hard out of the feeling of sweat.
It was a feeling of fear.
Suddenly
, in the consternation of the crowd, Mu Zhihua exclaimed, knelt down directly, and crawled in front of Mu Lan, just like a worshipper, with great trepidation.
“Sister, you are Miss Yi, but you can’t give me such a big gift. It will make people laugh.” Mu Lan opened his mouth in surprise and half bent down, trying to pick up Mu Zhihua.
Mu Zhihua was too angry to speak.
When has she ever been so humiliated outside.
This is where she wanted to kneel down to salute, it is clear that someone secretly swept the palm wind, the stone hit her knee, she was forced to kneel down.
And this kneeling, it happened to be in front of Mu Lan. Standing
face to face, there are four princes and Mu Zhanxiao today.
Whether it is the inside or the face, it is completely lost at this moment. The moment
Mu Chih-hua looked up at Mu Lan, his eyes turned cold, but Mu Lan raised his eyebrows. As he picked up Mu Chih-hua, he lowered his voice. Only the two of them could hear him say, “Why should Miss Yi get angry? Aren’t you afraid of ruining her image?”.
“You..” Mu Zhihua was very angry, but under such circumstances, he could only bite his teeth and swallow it himself.
But Mu Lan has already picked up Mu Zhihua, before the provocation has long been hidden, gently smiled at Mu Zhihua, and then quietly stood aside, do not speak.
Mu Chih-hua suffered a dark loss, but he couldn’t break out. In the end, he could only look at Mu Lan with a fake smile: “What did my sister say? Even if you are a young lady, you still want to be in order. Otherwise, it’s a joke for the four princes.”
“What the young lady said is true.” Mu Lan answered without even smiling. “I’ve written it down. The old and the young are in order.”
Mu Zhihua sneered in his heart, and his disgust for Mu Lan deepened. Of course
she knew Mulan was back.
Mu Lan is the first daughter of Mu Wangfu, no one dares to be sure that Mu Hongyuan let Mu Lan come back just for Chongxi, after all, Mu Hongyuan’s love for the late princess is well known, if not for the death of Mu Lan’s mother, it is not the turn of the side of the imperial concubine.
So, who knows if Mu Lan will come back and win Mu Hongyuan’s favor again.
Chen Zhirong and Mu Zhan Genius will try their best to eradicate it.
Besides, Mu Lan Chong is not happy, the old lady really had an accident, for Chen Zhirong is the best, after all, so that Chen Zhirong does not need to take into account the existence of the old lady, in order to completely grasp the real power of the backyard of Mu Wang Fu in their own hands.
And in Mu Zhihua’s view, Mu Lan grew up in the folk, whether it is decency or temperament can not surpass themselves, Mu Zhantian said three days ago Gu Fu things, even if Mu Lan is still alive, at least in that case, is also scared delirious.
Who knows, what she saw was such a beautiful woman who was not surprised. The hatred in
Mu Zhihua’s heart became more and more obvious, and the idea of uprooting the roots became more and more serious. After all, there is a difference between
a legitimate daughter and a concubine.
Mu Lan back, she this side of the daughter of the imperial concubine sooner or later will fall into the downwind, she must take advantage of Mu Lan has not yet gained power, completely to punish. After
sinking, Mu Zhihua calmed down his emotions.
Soon, Mu Zhihua asked as if nothing had happened, “My sister hasn’t told me yet. Where are you going?”? When we first arrived at the palace, why didn’t we rest and walk around?
“Of course I’m going to pay my respects to the old lady.” Mu Lan didn’t hide it, but looked at Mu Zhihua with a half-smile. “I can’t afford it if I’m not careful and put a charge of disrespect on it.”
“Miss Yi, it’s getting late. I have to hurry to pay my respects to the old lady, so I won’t delay much here.”
Seeing that Mu Zhihua didn’t mean to leave, Mu Lan raised her eyebrows and said, “Or does Miss Yi want to go with me?”? As it happens, the young lady is with me, and I can rest assured. After all, I’m new here, and I don’t understand a lot of the rules, do I?
This, between the lines, is just right, and does not give Mu Zhihua any reason to refuse.
But Mu Lan paved the way for Mu Zhihua and put her in a dilemma.
At least in front of Li Shiyu, Mu Zhihua could not refuse.
Sure enough, Mu Chih-hua looked at Mu Lan and suddenly burst out laughing: “That’s natural. I’ll take my sister with me, so that she won’t be unfamiliar with the way and delay the old lady’s rest, or that she won’t understand the rules of the mansion and make the four princes laugh.”
Mu Lan smiled, nodded, and then turned around, no longer paying attention to Mu Zhihua, quietly walking on the way to the ancestral temple.
Mu Zhihua reluctantly took the maid to walk in front. When
Mu Lan passed in front of Li Shiyu and Mu Zhanxiao, he nodded slightly and passed calmly. In front of Li Shiyu, suddenly, a gust of palm wind came, Mu Lan quietly received the hard palm, staggered toward the path to fall.
She knew that the wind of the palm came from Li Shiyu.
Before Mu Zhihua was set up by himself to kneel down, Li Shiyu naturally guessed, so now Li Shiyu is testing himself. It is impossible for a person who
practices martial arts not to feel the wind of the palm before.
If Mu Lan had a reaction, he would undoubtedly expose himself thoroughly to Li Shiyu. When I don’t know
Li Shiyu’s enemy, Mu Lan can’t act rashly.
What’s more, Li Shiyu has always been a shrewd person, that day even if he covered his face, saved Li Shiyu, in such a coincidence of the right time and place, Li Shiyu suspicion is inevitable.
“Miss” Hexiang saw Mu Lan stagger and gave a cry of surprise.
Even walking in front of Mu Zhihua looked over, Mu Lan saw that he could not stabilize, but Li Shiyu’s movements were faster, and he had moved to the front of Mu Zhihua. “Miss Mu, please be careful,” said a
gentle voice.
Voice fell, Mu Lan has also fallen into the arms of Li Shiyu, but only a moment, Li Shiyu straightened Mu Lan, has pulled her away from himself. The
low eyebrows and eyes hide a deep meaning.
Obviously just now he felt that this burst of palm wind was coming from the direction of Mu Lan, but now under the test, Mu Lan is like a weak woman, and does not know kung fu.
Is Mu Lan hiding deeply, or is there a mistake in his perception?
Li Shiyu stood with his hands on his back and did not show his emotions.
But Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu with a look of panic on his face: “My daughter thanks the four princes for helping each other. It was my daughter who was reckless.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Li Shiyu smiled faintly, but did not take it seriously.
Mu Zhanxiao didn’t speak the whole time. After
Mu Lan stood firm, he was politely blessed and quietly continued to walk forward.
Mu Zhihua looked at all this coldly, and when Mu Lan walked in, she gave a short cold laugh.
Mu Lan doesn’t take it seriously.
Mu Zhihua lowered his voice and warned, “Mu Lan, this is the palace of the Prince Mu. You can’t tolerate the slightest bit of presumptuousness.”. And there is no room for you to do anything shameful in the palace.
“My sister has been taught.” Mu Lan smiled and did not get angry at all.
Mu Zhihua’s face was even uglier.
But due to the presence of people, Mu Zhihua is not good attack, fast walking, rare some no tolerance, compared with Mu Zhihua, Mu Lan appears to be more calm, leisurely walking.
But he Xiang, who was following behind Mu Lan, was frightened.
I’m afraid I’ll have an accident if I’m careful.
But in Mu Lan’s eyes, what he Xiang sees is calm and calm self-confidence. Be calm in the face of danger.
But Li Shiyu did not follow up and stood in place.
It was not until Mu Lan’s figure had disappeared that Li Shiyu said lightly, “Mu Lan is not simple.”
Mu Zhanxiao twisted his eyebrows: She was sent to Gu Fu on the first day of her birth. In the past 16 years, people in Mu Fu have turned a blind eye to her. They hardly remember the existence of such a person. Had it not been for the fact that the old lady’s health had been deteriorating over the past two years, and that the imperial doctors could do nothing about it, they would have treated the dead horse as a living horse and let Mu Lan come back to be happy. The implication is
that Mu Lan is not a special person, all this is more like an accident.
Li Shi-yu listened quietly. His eyes had already come back, and he was still standing with his hands on his back. “Who is the Ku family?”
“An ordinary peddler. There are a few shops in Kyoto, that’s all.” Mu Zhanxiao explained.
Li Shiyu nodded, did not say anything, and calmly walked in the direction of the ancestral temple.
He was originally ordered to visit the old lady, by the way to see Mu Fu just returned from the first daughter, but this Mu Lan, some let Li Shiyu surprise.
Her posture was very similar to that of the woman who saved herself that day and wanted to take her jade pendant by the way, especially in the tone of her voice, which was light and cautious.
Is it a coincidence?
In such a meditation, Li Shiyu had a meal in his chest and calmed down. Mu Zhanxiao’s eyes flashed a trace of worry: “Your Highness, you..”
“It doesn’t matter.” Li Shiyu waved his hand and soon continued to walk forward without changing his face.
Two days ago, Li Shiyu was seriously injured by the prince’s encirclement and suppression, but he could not show any suspicion in the court, so Li Shiyu was forced down the wound, seemingly as if nothing had happened.
Just now when testing Mu Lan, Li Shiyu was angry and was naturally eaten back. The smell of
blood rushed into the throat, but was forced down.
And Mu Lan’s reaction is like a weak woman who doesn’t know martial arts.
So his instincts were wrong?
Sinking, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Zhanxiao and said, “How is the investigation going?”
“The other side doesn’t know the identity of the four princes. If the assassination fails this time, I’m afraid the prince won’t give up. Your Highness still has to be more careful.” Mu Zhanxiao twisted his eyebrows. “It’s the people who saved your Highness. I’m afraid it will take some time to wipe all the traces clean.”
Li Shiyu nodded and said no more. The conversation between them was very light until it stopped abruptly near the ancestral temple.
……
Mu Wang Fu, Ancestral Hall. Wang Hsueh-shuang walked out of the ancestral hall with the help of
two nuns, and immediately saw Mu Chih-hua coming towards her. Mu Chih-hua immediately saluted, “Hello, grandmother, Chih-hua is paying his respects to you.”
“Chih-hua, why are you here at this hour?” Wang Xueshuang was happy to see Mu Zhihua.
“I missed my grandmother, so I came to say hello to her.” Mu Zhihua’s mouth is sweet, coaxing Wang Xueshuang is very happy.
Wang Hsueh-shuang laughs: “It’s just that you have a sweet mouth and make people happy every day.”
Mu Zhihua stood cleverly, some Jiao Chen looked at Wang Xueshuang, completely did not mention the meaning of Mu Lan, Mu Lan is not impatient to stand, as if everything in front of him did not have much to do with himself.
But Wang Xueshuang noticed Mu Lan, looked up and down, in the heart already knew.
Mulan’s face is almost identical to that of the late princess.
Wang Xueshuang did not have much affection for Mu Lan, after all, Mu Lan was born, Mu Wangfu happened one after another, plus Mu Lan’s mother and concubine died because of dystocia, but Mu Lan’s life was hard to stay, once let Mu Hongyuan heartbroken.
To sum up, Wang Xueshuang can not have any good feelings and compassion for Mu Lan.
Even if he knew that Mu Lan was returning to Mu Wangfu in order to give himself joy, Wang Xueshuang’s face would not get better.
I always think Mu Lan is a jinx.
But looking at Mu Lan standing gracefully, Wang Xueshuang did not say anything, at least this Mu Lan and himself thought too much better.
She thought that Mu Lan, who was undisciplined among the people, was a wild girl and could not be put on the table.
That Gu family is not a big family, is some money, there is no prestige in Kyoto, the girl taught can not do anything.
As a result, Mu Lan surprised Wang Xueshuang. Standing here with
such a bearing, it seems that he has been through the storm for a long time and is not surprised. Simple dress can make people remember everything, but not too much publicity.
Delicate facial features like the late princess, there is a moment of trance, let Wang Xueshuang feel that the late princess was reborn.
She quieted down and held Mammy’s hand tightly.
And when Mu Lan saw Wang Hsueh-shuang looking at him, she gracefully paid her respects: “Hello, Grandmother. It’s Mu Lan who is not filial. I haven’t paid my respects to you for so many years.” When the
voice fell, Mu Lan knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Xueshuang.
Respectfully. When
Wang Hsueh-shuang saw this, her face softened, and she said, “Get up.”
Mu Zhihua twisted his eyebrows.
Such a picture is also beyond the expectation of Mu Zhihua. In her view, Mu Lan is a person who can not be on the table, with Wang Xueshuang’s requirements for people, Mu Zhihua is naturally disgusted.
But apparently, everyone has miscalculated.
Wang Xueshuang does not necessarily like Mu Lan, but he is not too disgusted with Mu Lan.
Mu Zhihua is rare, thinking about how to add confusion to Mu Lan, but unfortunately, Mu Lan’s words and deeds can not find any gap.
When Mu Lan, who was kneeling, heard Wang Hsueh-shuang’s words, she stood up and said, “Mu Lan thanked my grandmother.”
Wang Hsueh-shuang nodded. “You had the heart to come and pay your respects to me when you knew you were in the house.”
Mu Lan dares not forget. It’s just that I’m afraid of disturbing my grandmother’s cultivation. Mu Lan answered appropriately.
“You and your mother are the same in this respect.” Wang Hsueh-shuang, however, thought of the late princess. “She used to wait outside the ancestral temple, waiting for me to come out, and then accompany me for a walk. Think about it, it’s been 16 years.”
Time is so fast that Wang Xueshuang has some feelings.
If the princess is still there, I’m afraid Mu Lan is not in the present situation, at least it’s impossible to live among the people.
With Mu Hongyuan’s love for the princess, Mu Lan will only be the unique daughter of the palace.
Think of these, Wang Xueshuang also some sigh, looking at Mu Lan standing quietly, can not help but more than a trace of heartache.
After all, Mu Lan is also the legitimate daughter of Prince Mu.
No matter what happened that year, wandering outside, the total return or let people pity more, after all, that year, Mu Lan still suffered from the disaster.
Mu Hongyuan was more unable to accept the death of the princess because of childbirth, so he put the charge of the jinx on Mu Lan.
Or, do not want to see Mu Lan and the princess similar face, afraid of missing too much.
Mu Lan listened to Wang Xueshuang’s words, but calmly added: “If Mu Lan is lucky, I would like to accompany my grandmother to walk around the house.”
Wang Hsueh-shuang nodded and quietly looked at Mu Lan: “Walk with me.”
“Yes.” Mu Lan meekly answered, and then followed Wang Xueshuang step by step.
When Mu Chih-hua saw this picture, he became more and more worried: “Grandmother, you are not in good health. The royal doctor came and said that you need more rest. Let Chih-hua send you back.”
She didn’t want Mu Lan to be too close to Wang Xueshuang.
That is a kind of intuition, intuition that Wang Xueshuang will not be too bad for Mu Lan, when Wang Xueshuang is still there, the ultimate power in the palace is still in the hands of Wang Xueshuang.
Once Mu Lan gains power, it will not do them any good.
“Miss Yi.” The quiet Mu Lan suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Mu Zhihua’s words. “I think the imperial doctor let my grandmother rest, but he didn’t let my grandmother stay in bed all the year round. It’s good for my health to be able to walk more.”. Perhaps the disease will be cured without medicine.
“You..” Mu Zhihua looked at Mu Lan in exasperation.
Mu Lan, however, looked at Wang with a gentle smile and said, “Grandmother, is that what you said?”
“That’s the reason.” Wang Xueshuang nodded, and his favorable impression of Mu Lan rose a few points.
Since he was seriously ill, the side imperial concubine always pressed her in the house to rest, not to walk, not to see the sun, the side imperial concubine’s mind, how can Wang Xueshuang not understand, as for his own situation, Wang Xueshuang is not good and the side imperial concubine directly turned against.
The more she lived to this age, Wang Xueshuang became more and more taboo about death.
Otherwise, it will not move the idea of Chongxi.
Obviously, now under this idea, Mu Lan is an unexpected harvest, at least not the side of the imperial concubine, the surface looks submissive, secretly refers to what hands and feet are moving.
Mu Lan smiled and did not answer, took the initiative to help Wang Xueshuang, toward the garden.
Mu Zhihua stamped his feet in the same place, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes more and more sinister, and then, she did not stop for a moment, quickly walking in the opposite direction.
Mu Lan looked out of the corner of her eye and pretended to be careful and aggrieved. “Grandmother, did Mu Lan offend Miss Yi?”. After all, Mu Lan has just arrived, and he doesn’t know much about the situation. He just understands it by intuition. If he offends, Mu Lan will apologize to his grandmother first, and then make amends to Miss Yi.
“No.” Wang Hsueh-shuang waved her hand and said, “I know that painting is not such a narrow-minded person.”
“Then Mu Lan will be relieved.” Mu Lan Yingying smiled.
Then she did not change her face to accompany Wang Xueshuang to continue to walk forward, that restrained mood, hidden a deep meaning.
In the last life, when Mu Lan had time to pay his respects to Wang Xueshuang, he blurted out too anxiously, which made Wang Xueshuang feel that Mu Lan was uneasy and kind.
Of course, there is also the reason why Mu Zhihua adds fuel to the flames.
Before Mu Lan went to find Wang Xueshuang, Mu Zhihua taught him carefully, instilling the idea that Wang Xueshuang was not in good health, not suitable for walking more, and wanted to recuperate in the house.
These words from Mu Lan’s mouth, it is more like cursing Wang Xueshuang to return to the west as soon as possible, causing Wang Xueshuang heavy anger, plus late, was directly detained to the woodshed.
In this life, she put this sin on Mu Zhihua’s body.
After all, prolonging life is also Wang Xueshuang’s mind, not the death of old trees.
Of course, Mu Lan knows very well that it is impossible to shake the position of Mu Zhihua in Wang Xueshuang’s heart, but what breaks out over time is immeasurable. Wang Xueshuang is a key figure who
wants to gain a firm foothold in Mu Wangfu.
Mu Lan has a saying in her heart, every step after rebirth, she appears to be particularly cautious.
When Mu Lan accompanied Wang Xueshuang to the ancestral temple, he just saw Li Shiyu and Mu Zhanxiao coming towards him, and Mu Lan paid his respects.
Li Shiyu motioned for Mu Lan to get up, and then walked up to Wang Xueshuang and picked her up. “The old lady looks much healthier. In that case, I think my father will be much more relieved when he knows.”
“Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. I’ll go to the palace and thank the emperor in person in a few days.” Wang Xueshuang looked at Li Shiyu with a smile and said all about the scene.
The two men came and went, and Mu Lan kept quiet all the way.
Only the corner of her eye occasionally fell on Li Shiyu’s body, but soon recovered, when Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu for the last time, she was caught by Li Shiyu.
Mu Lan is not panic calmly, and calmly take back the line of sight.
Li Shiyu’s eyes became more interesting, but only for a moment, they disappeared.
Li Shiyu did not stay in Mu Wang Fu, after visiting Wang Xueshuang, formulaic asked Mu Lan’s situation, got up and left.
Mu Zhanxiao personally sent Li Shiyu away.
Mu Lan still accompanied Wang Xueshuang.
After all, Wang Hsueh-shuang had been ill for a long time, and after a short time away from home, she felt a little tired. Mu Lan noticed immediately: “Grandmother, when Mu Lan was at Ku Fu, she learned some massage techniques from her adoptive parents. Maybe they can help relieve Grandma’s headache and discomfort.”
Wang Hsueh-shuang was surprised: “Do you still know these things?”
“I know a thing or two.” Mu Lan is confident.
Wang Hsueh-shuang smiled and said, “I’d like to try.”. Over the years, these maids, Mammy, the imperial physician in the palace, and the herbalists outside have all been tried, but none of them are reliable.
Headache is Wang Xueshuang’s old problem, but also because of the headache, Wang Xueshuang’s body is more and more tormented. Mu Lan in the
previous life also wanted to please Wang Xueshuang, but never thought that every time it was used at the wrong time, which led to Wang Xueshuang’s irascibility. More intuitively, he thought that Mu Lan was coming back to ask for his life instead of being happy, and he was more disgusted with Mu Lan.
And these wrong times are naturally carefully arranged by Mu Zhihua.
Mu Lan did not have any wariness to Mu Zhihua, and said something about his medical skills. Mu Zhihua pretended to be kind and arranged Mu Lan to give Wang Xueshuang a massage. As a result, he outsmarted himself. Not only did he not let Wang Xueshuang relieve the pain, but he became more and more uncomfortable when Wang Xueshuang was concurrent.
Wang Xueshuang lost his temper, Mu Lan was frightened, and the candlestick and hot water beside him were knocked over, burning Wang Xueshuang.
It made Wang Xueshuang’s disgust for Mu Lan even worse.
That time, Mu Lan was punished, kneeling in the ancestral temple for three days and three nights, and when Wang Xueshuang opened his mouth, Mu Lan almost lost half his life.
Mu Lan collected the memory of the previous life and quietly helped Wang Xueshuang walk towards the house.
She carefully cushioned Wang Xueshuang, sent Hexiang to bring aromatherapy, and then asked Mammy to find a musician to play the piano, designated a few songs, and let the musician play them repeatedly.
Wang Xueshuang looked at the eyebrows a twist.
Mu Lan’s hands were already gently massaging Wang Hsueh-shuang, and she said lightly, “Grandmother, when you massage, apart from the technique, you are also very concerned about the environment and the state of mind.”. The music played by the musician can ease your mood, and the aromatherapy has the same effect. With the technique, the headache will ease down and gradually disappear.
These words, Mu Lan also said softly and slowly.
Wang Xueshuang did not know whether Mu Lan’s words had played a role, or whether her technique had played a role, or whether the current atmosphere had played a role, she actually felt that her stubborn headache had eased down, and even began to feel sleepy.
Mu Lan according to Wang Xueshuang’s situation in the judgment, the technique changes unceasingly, precisely to each acupuncture point, until the piano player’s music stops, Mu Lan only then loosened own hand.
“Lan’er’s technique is brilliant.” Wang Xueshuang is very satisfied, and her spirit is much better.
Even the name of Mu Lan has been changed, which shows that Wang Xueshuang likes it.
Mu Lan said humbly, “It’s my grandmother’s mistake.” The more
Wang Hsueh-shuang looked at it, the more she liked it, and it was obvious that her attitude was much better. Then she looked at Mu Lan’s simple clothes, without any hair accessories on her head, and her brows twisted: “Mammy Li, call the housekeeper Chen for me.”
“Yes.” Mammy Li answered respectfully.
Mu Lan stood calmly.
She has been reborn, some things can follow the track of history, some things will naturally change, just like now, Mu Lan can roughly guess what Wang Xueshuang is going to do.
But Mu Lan did not expect that such joy would come so quickly.
Mu Lan is not proud.
Wang Xueshuang’s love for himself is not to let himself be at ease in the palace of the Prince of Mu, but to become more and more crisis-ridden, and every step that follows will be particularly difficult and cautious.
Chen soon arrived and knelt down respectfully in front of Wang Xueshuang. “What do you want from the slave, old lady?”
But Chen butler’s line of sight actually did not have the trace to fall on Mu Lan’s body.
Mu Lan took a very light look, the corners of his mouth filled with a smile, but soon disappeared, standing quietly.
“Lan’er is the legitimate daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion. Why did she enter the mansion without a decent dress, not even an ornament? If this gets out, people who don’t know will think that we don’t like Lan’er in Prince Mu’s mansion. Where do you want Wang Yeh to put his face?” Wang Xueshuang scolded Chen butler again.
This, let Chen butler can not help but look more sideways to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan in the end what can, can just enter the palace, let Wang Xueshuang to Mu Lan is particularly concerned about.
Since the side of the imperial concubine in power, these things Wang Xueshuang never asked, are handed over to the side of the imperial concubine in charge. Mu Lan return, side imperial concubine of course can not give a good look, will only think of ways to punish, even the arrangement of the courtyard is the location of the next room.
How can you take the initiative to prepare these for Mulan.
Chen butler was taught a lesson by Mu Lan, naturally know that Mu Lan’s means are fierce, but involving the matter of the palace, Chen butler also dare not make any decision privately.
Now that Wang Xueshuang has opened his mouth, Chen’s housekeeper will naturally be able to do it justifiably.
After all, the side imperial concubine did not dare to have any opinions about Wang Xueshuang.
Even if you don’t want to, you can only obey your orders.
“The slave asked the old lady to atone for her sins. It was the slave’s fault. The slave immediately prepared clothes and jewelry for the young lady.” Chen butler respectfully opened his mouth. Only then did Wang Hsueh-shuang
‘s face soften. Then she looked at Mu Lan and said, “If Lan needs anything, just tell the housekeeper Chen that you are the legitimate daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion, but you can’t let anyone talk about it.”
Mu Lan thanked his grandmother. Mu Lan should pay attention to this in the future, and he won’t do it again. Mu Lan followed Wang Xueshuang’s words.
Find such plain clothes, do not wear any accessories, the natural purpose is to do so. Without a supportive person,
she could never be proud and elated in the palace, let alone get equal treatment.
Inequality, how can we talk about our own conditions in the future.
Mu Lan lowered her eyebrows and eyes, because her goal was never in Mu Wang Fu.
Mu Wangfu these people, for Mu Lan, but is the mole ant, not enough evidence. What she needs is a good starting point and a springboard.
Wang Xueshuang listened to Mu Lan’s words and nodded.
Mu Lan said calmly, “Mu Lan has been bothering Grandmother for too long. Grandmother will rest first, and Mu Lan will come to pay her respects tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Wang Xueshuang is more and more satisfied.
Mu Lan did not speak, calmly retreated out, Chen butler followed Mu Lan behind went out, can not help but see Mu Lan a few more eyes.
This Mu Lan, I’m afraid, is much more powerful than he thought.
Wang Xueshuang has never been an easy person to get along with, side imperial concubine can go to today, do not know how much effort spent on Wang Xueshuang’s body, but Mu Lan did it easily.
But why doesn’t Mu Lan tell us where he lives now and tell us again? House
keeper Chen didn’t ask much.
He looked at Mulan respectfully and said, “Miss, the slave will bring you what you need in a moment.”
Mu Lan nodded and said, “It’s time for the butler Chen.”
Then, Mu Lan did not say much, with the lotus incense toward the West Tower, the lotus incense followed step by step.
It was not until she reached the sparsely populated West Building that she could not help saying, “Miss, you are really awesome.”. As soon as he came back, he coaxed the old lady into submission.
Mu Lan smiled and said nothing.
She flicked Hexiang between the eyebrows and said, “Be a good student. Don’t be silly and be cheated later.”
“Miss” Hexiang covered her eyebrows and answered with a beep.
Mu Lan laughed out loud and said nothing.
The two men went into the West Building.
“Miss, the old lady likes you. Why don’t you tell the old lady to change places? You can’t live here in the West Building. You can’t see the sun all the year round. When the weather gets cold, you’ll be too cold to bear.”
Hexiang is the inferior girl who lives in the West Building, and naturally knows the situation on this side of the West Building. There is no one
in the West Building who doesn’t want to leave.
And Mu Lan is like a person who has nothing to do, in the view of the lotus fragrance, Mu Lan just doesn’t know the badness of the West Building.
Mulan listened to Hexiang’s words, but casually smiled: “Don’t worry, we’ll leave here soon, step by step, a lot of things can’t be urgent, even if it’s a war, we have to be famous, don’t you think?” The
fragrance of lotus seems to understand.
Mu Lan did not explain any more.
Lotus incense is actually two years older than Mu Lan, but now Mu Lan’s mood and lotus incense compared, do not know how much mature, naturally a lot of ideas are lotus incense can not understand.
She sent Hexiang to boil water and prepare dinner. After all, the people in the West Building could not get food from the kitchen. They had to prepare everything by themselves.
And Mu Lan is waiting for Chen butler in situ.
Chen’s housekeeper arrived at the West Building within half an hour, bringing a box full of jewelry and a tailor to personally tailor the clothes for Mu Lan.
After the tailor had finished measuring, the housekeeper Chen stepped forward and said, “Miss, there is a new brocade in the palace, just outside the door. When you have finished choosing, the slave will let the tailor do it according to your figure.”
“Thank you.” Mu Lan smiled.
After that, she generously took the biggest pearl from the jewelry box and handed it to the housekeeper: “Housekeeper Chen, this is a little token of my appreciation. Please accept it.”
Chen butler pushed and shoved for a moment, and then calmly accepted it.
Mu Lan didn’t say much.
But she is very clear, rely on force to deter, far less than such a small favor to make Chen butler loyal. In the palace, as long as Chen butler and Wang Xueshuang can be subdued, the rest of the things will be much easier to handle.
As for the side of the imperial concubine,
Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes were stained with blood, and the future was long.
Otherwise, who will be the scapegoat?
And sure enough, after the Chen butler, everything became smooth, Chen butler directly let people send dinner, the rest of the things handled safely, gave Mu Lan convenience, and did not let Mu Lan have any uncomfortable place. After
Mu Lan saw off Chen’s housekeeper, he sat quietly in the West Building.
She knew that everything that had happened today was already known by the side of the imperial concubine.
Mu Lan is waiting, waiting for the side of the imperial concubine a room of people to fall into the trap.
She knew that with her present power and ability, it was not enough to bring down the side imperial concubine, but she could step by step let the side imperial concubine into her own trap, and finally could not struggle. The blood in
her eyebrows and eyes did not fade, but was well hidden.
After the meal, Mulan let Hexiang go to rest first, and then quietly walked towards his own wing. She pushed the door and entered, looking at the room with only one bed, one table and one cabinet, which was not so much a wing as a simple place to live in.
She looked around and let out a sneer. She’ll be out of here in
three days.
……
At night, at midnight.
Mu Wangfu has returned to calm, Mu Lan took off his clothes, lying on the bed, but there is no sleepiness, perhaps because of the change of environment, perhaps because everything now can not let Mu Lan peace of mind.
She’s waiting.
Wait for the scene of the last life to happen. The candle
in the room flickered on and off.
It was only the end of summer, but in the courtyard of the West Building, it was already cold, the wind was still in the crack of the door, and the wind in the room made people feel frightened in the quiet night.
Suddenly
there was a rustling sound in the room. Mu Lan’s eyes sharpened. Looking at the edge of the crack in the door, a king cobra had already swam into the room. The snake’s head was held high, an attacking gesture.
It was so fast that it came directly in the direction of Mulan. The tip
of Mulan’s nose smelled the fragrance.
She knows that the scent has an inexplicable stimulating effect
on snakes, which can make them completely irrational and attack people, especially creatures like the king cobra.
As long as the next mouth, it is extremely difficult to survive.
The other side is obviously directed at Mu Lan, to put her to death.
Mu Wangfu, can try to dispose of quickly, Mu Lan can guess with his toes, and this matter, the last life also happened.
But at that time, Mu Lan’s life was so big that the night patrol passed by and heard Mu Lan’s screams. When someone broke in, the king cobra bit the night patrol, and the night patrol guard died on the spot.
Mu Lan escaped the disaster.
But after this incident, Mu Lan’s mental state has not been very good, a surprise, a little bit of movement will make Mu Lan scream.
Such behavior in Wang Xueshuang’s serious is a very improper thing.
In Mu Lan’s view at that time, Mu Zhihua comforted himself from time to time, seemingly caring, but more every time he stepped on the spot, especially when Wang Xueshuang and Mu Fu had guests, which made Mu Lan scream.
Naturally, Mu Lan’s reputation will not be good.
Wang Xueshuang’s disgust for Mu Lan became more and more obvious.
But Mu Lan did not feel that this was the arrangement of Mu Zhihua, but was grateful to Mu Zhihua, because when everyone hated himself, only Mu Zhihua accompanied him.
Finally, he will step by step into the trap of Mu Zhihua and become a scapegoat.
But this time
Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes gradually cooled down, looking at the king cobra swimming fast, with full aggression, spitting core, slender hands accurately pinched the snake’s seven inches, instantly controlled the king cobra.
Mulan quietly pinched the snake’s seven inches and walked out of the house.
At the moment when Mu Lan pushed the door out, her eyes became sharp, and she looked past the sound of the flute, but she did not find any movement at all. The snake, which
was pinched seven inches, suddenly became crazy and completely out of control.
Mu Lan did not pay attention for a while, was the snake tail counterattack, the king cobra is much bigger than other snakes, plus is controlled, the strength can not be underestimated.
“Damn it.” Mu Lan gave a low curse.
Her hand slid, the king cobra broke away from the seven inches of imprisonment, and was about to bite down at Mu Lan, who could not dodge, and was startled.
At this time
, a sharp dagger flew precisely in front of Mu Lan, directly into the seven inches of the king cobra, and completely nailed it to the ground. The king cobra,
which was still baring its teeth and claws and spitting its core, gradually lost its movement and lay straight on the ground.
Mu Lan breathed a complete sigh of relief.
That was really close.
Life hangs by a thread.
It seems that after returning to his senses, Mu Lan found himself falling into a solid chest, with a faint musk, cold eyes looking down at Mu Lan.
Li Shiyu.
Mu Lan was startled, but the surface was always calm. Didn’t
Li Shiyu leave Prince Mu’s mansion long ago? Why did it appear in the palace at this time.
And between her and Li Shiyu, it seems too close, almost close.
Close enough to clearly smell the faint musk on Li Shiyu’s body and hear the heartbeat of this man.
But the shock was soon hidden by Mu Lan. She looked at Li Shiyu calmly, and her voice softened, with a hint of panic: “Four princes, why are you here?”
As if remembering something, Mu Lan struggled out of Li Shiyu’s arms and knelt down. “I thank the four princes for saving my life.”
All the way, Mu Lan’s voice was trembling.
He seemed to be extremely frightened in the face of such a situation.
But Mu Lan rarely beat a drum in his heart, and I don’t know how much Li Shiyu saw. In such an unknown situation, Mu Lan could not be exposed in front of Li Shiyu. The deeper you
hide, the more likely you are to get the first chance in the future game.
Li Shiyu never appeared in the memory of Mu Lan’s last life, she could not accurately guess Li Shiyu’s ideas, not to mention, Mu Lan also wanted to move the cake in Li Shiyu’s hands.
Li Shiyu is not an ordinary person.
But Li Shiyu stood with his hands down and looked down at Mu Lan. It was an accident
to enter Prince Mu’s mansion.
Today’s prince Li Shiyuan failed before, naturally it is impossible to let go of Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu as long as there is, there is bound to be killing, in Kyoto, Li Shiyu’s power is far less than prince.
Plus the body is still injured, so Li Shiyu will fall in the leeward, turn into the back lane, directly over the wall and jump into the palace of Prince Mu.
And this location is the West Building, which will not disturb other people, and it is relatively safe.
As a result, Li Shiyu did not expect to see such a scene.
And that moment, if not wrong, Mu Lan is pinching the snake’s seven inches out, obviously the snake was controlled by the music. Would
a normal girl be so calm when she saw a king cobra?
This Mulan is definitely not simple.
But now kneeling in front of him, the pitiful little girl, and before that sharp eyes and bloodthirsty appearance, completely different.
Li Shiyu sank, slightly lowering his eyebrows and eyes as if he were meditating on something. The wound that
had never healed gradually cracked in the chase, and blood seeped out, but on the surface, Li Shiyu remained calm. Long, bony
fingers suddenly pinched Mu Lan’s mandible. “Look up at Ben Wang.”
Mu Lan looked up obediently.
“Are you 16 this year?” Li Shiyu asked calmly.
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered.
Li Shiyu’s eyes are more heavy, looking at Mu Lan for a moment, as if to see through Mu Lan, Mu Lan’s eyes faintly with a trace of panic, but such panic is more like playing for Li Shiyu to see.
Li Shiyu’s palm tightened.
Mu Lan’s expression became a little painful: “Four princes, it hurts.”
Li Shiyu, however, ignored Mu Lan’s words and said coldly, “I saw you holding the snake seven inches before, but you didn’t panic at all. Why are you afraid when you see the king now?”
Mu Lan listened to Li Shiyu’s words and quieted down, his voice still trembling a little: “I’m afraid.”. But that’s the instinct of survival. The snake hits seven inches. But it’s obviously not going to work. If the fourth prince hadn’t happened to see it, I’m afraid I’d be the one who died now.
Every word is just right. Can not
see any trace of lying, or even shivering appearance, as if the rest of his life, is the feeling of fear.
Li Shiyu just watched. The hand
that pinched Mu Lan’s mandible did not let go.
Mu Lan did not know whether Li Shiyu believed it or not. But in the current stall, many things can not be admitted, can only play dumb.
What’s more, Li Shiyu appeared here at this point in time, it is not reasonable, so Mu Lan bet that Li Shiyu can not be disclosed, this matter can only be vague in the past.
Just when the two were deadlocked, Li Shiyu suddenly snorted.
The original cracked wound became more and more obvious, blood had penetrated the clothes, but Li Shiyu was wearing a dark purple gown, plus at night, and could not clearly see.
And when dodging before, the sword edge that has brushed the skin is carrying poison, enter blood at the moment, already began to break out gradually. Mu Lan, who is extremely sensitive
to the smell of blood, has noticed it for the first time.
She looked at Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu alert up, released Mu Lan.
Mu Lan came to his senses and heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the West Tower. It was the bodyguard in the palace, and even Mu Lan heard the voice of Mu Zhantian.
Mu Zhantian has been given the title of King of Yi County. He lives in an independent palace. He doesn’t live in the palace on weekdays. Why does he suddenly appear today.
Subconsciously, Mu Lan saw Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu got up to go, but found that his limbs were completely powerless, and the footsteps outside the West Building were approaching more and more.
Mu Lan only hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Shiyu. “If the four princes can rest assured, please come with me.”. But the four princes seem to have no choice. If they go out of the West Tower, I’m afraid they’ll die.
This, Mu Lan also said directly.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan, between the throat has come bursts of sweet taste, the corners of the mouth oozed blood, but the phoenix eyes with a bit of cold, thin lips pursed, less warm to see in the daytime, more cruel.
Fall on the Mu Lan body’s eye light, also more and more inquiry.
Mu Lan, on the other hand, did not shy away from Li Shiyu’s eyes and thought for a moment: “The people outside will be here soon.”. The four princes don’t have much time to think.
And in the side of the lotus incense also heard the noise, hurried to see the situation in the courtyard, as well as the dagger shot into the stiff body of the king cobra, almost screaming.
Mu Lan moved even faster, covering Hexiang’s hand for the first time and ordering in a low voice, “Don’t scream.”
Hexiang nodded hurriedly, but her face was still pale. Only then did
Mu Lan loosen the lotus incense. With a lingering fear, the lotus incense looked at the king cobra on the ground, and then looked at Li Shiyu, who was close at hand. Her voice stammered: “Maidservant..” Maidservant, see IV. Four princes.
“No need to kneel.” Mulan interrupted Hexiang. “Listen to me. Take the snake into the house first. I’ll do it later. If someone comes, you can come out again. But if you see the four princes, you can’t mention it again.”
Mu Lan’s voice became more and more serious: “Don’t panic, just as usual. Do you understand?” “The maidservant knows,
” Hexiang answered repeatedly.
Mu Lan did not say anything more, just looked at the lotus fragrance, but the trust in the eyes of the lotus fragrance is direct, without any doubt.
Then Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and said, “Four princes.”
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan, under the eyes of the eyes, followed Mu Lan toward the house, Hexiang watched two people go in and listen to the outside movement, even afraid of the king cobra in front of him, or pressure fear, quickly deal with the scene, and then hurried back to his house.
……
Inside the house
, Li Shiyu spat blood almost as soon as he entered the door.
Mulan frowned and approached Li Shiyu. Li Shiyu looked at Mulan warily, but Mulan said directly, “How long can four princes hold out?”
“Two hours.” Li Shiyu said.
Mu Lan nodded and said, “Please hide the four princes. No matter what happens or what sounds you hear, don’t come out.”
Li Shiyu did not speak.
Mu Lan also has no time to continue to entangle with Li Shiyu. There was already a scream from outside the
house, which was from the fragrance of the lotus, as well as the roar of the guards and the gloomy tone of Mu Zhantian’s voice: “Give the king a thorough search. The contents of the palace are no less than assassins. Anyone who sees them will be killed without mercy.”
In such an order, the bodyguard mercilessly pushed the door and entered directly into the small courtyard of the West Building, not caring who lived here at all. When
Mu Lan came out, he saw the lotus fragrance blocking in front of him, but it was obvious that the obstruction of the lotus fragrance had little effect.
Mu Lan frowned, and his eyes fell on Mu Zhantian. “I’d like to know what it’s worth for the King of Yi County to appear in the palace in the middle of the night.”. And now this is coming for my yard?
Even Mu Lan just put on a smock and came out directly, as if he had been awakened from his sleep.
Mu Zhantian looked at Mu Lan and said with a sneer, “Get out of the way. Go in and search for the king. The assassin has been found and rewarded.”
The bodyguard only obeys Mu Zhantian, and naturally will not pay attention to Mu Lan.
Soon, the guards went directly to the West Building.
Hexiang subconsciously blocked the front, but could not stop the barbarism of the bodyguard, fell directly to the ground, elbow inevitably bleeding.
Mu Lan saw it. Then
her voice grew colder and colder. “Stop! Who has given you permission to run wild in my place?”
The voice is not angry but proud. Not like a girl of sixteen
at all, but like a king in a high position, looking at the guards in front of him, gloomy to the extreme.
The guards were a little scared.
Mulan had already picked up Hexiang, and his eyes fell on Hexiang, slowing down: “Hexiang, are you all right?”
“Miss, the maidservant is all right.” Hexiang shook her head hurriedly. After a careful examination,
Mu Lan was relieved. Then she looked coldly at Mu Zhantian and said, “King Yi, this palace is so big that you can be sure that the assassin is in my house.”. If the assassin is really in my house, why am I not aware of it?
Mu Zhantian gave a sneer.
Looking at Mu Lan’s eyes also followed the cold up.
Before in Gu Fu, let Mu Lan escape a disaster, has been Mu Zhantian’s miscalculation. And apparently Mu Zhantian underestimated the ability of Mu Lan, even in the first day back to the house can coax the old lady obedient, even Chen butler will Mu Lan sit up and take notice.
Not to mention, Mu Lan secretly suffered a dark loss of Mu Zhihua. How could Mu Zhantian stay with
such a woman.
But because of the current situation, Mu Zhantian is really not fair and aboveboard to Mu Lan, but did not expect, God is obviously on the side of Mu Zhantian, tonight to kill people, but just fled into the West Tower.
Whether he catches someone or not, he can justifiably kill Mu Lan.
The reason, of course, is the assassin’s assassination.
“Mulan, do you know that possession of an assassin is a capital offense?” Mu Zhantian has firmly opened his mouth and pressed the charge directly and mercilessly on Mu Lan.
Mu Lan suddenly smiled faintly and looked at Mu Zhantian. “King Yi, you haven’t caught anyone yet, and you’re in a hurry to convict me?”
Said, Mu Lan took a step forward, did not care about these to their own sword, safely and steadily stood in front of Mu Zhantian.
“Aren’t you afraid of getting the word out? People say that the concubines on the side have ulterior motives and can’t tolerate the wife of the main wife, so they find an excuse like an assassin to get rid of it quickly.” Mu Lan unceremoniously said the purpose of Mu Zhantian. It is quite different from the cleverness and understanding in front of Wang Xueshuang in the
daytime.
In the middle of the night, Mu Lan is the most bloodthirsty person.
Close to Mu Lan’s bodyguard, can not help but tremble, as if Mu Lan walked through the place, can blow a burst of wind.
Suddenly, the guard in the hands of the sword for a reverse.
The bodyguard exclaimed that the sword had been aimed at Mu Zhantian. As soon as
Mu Zhan Tian’s face changed, he snapped, “Are you going to rebel?”
The bodyguard’s face was white with fear, and he had no idea why the sword in his hand was out of control, but Mu Lan seemed to be all right, standing in place, looking at it with a half-smile.
Mu Zhantian thought all this was too weird.
Weird and completely out of control.
Only Mu Lan did not speak, because only Mu Lan knew that she had naturally had the ability to control objects in the air since she was ten years old.
She can invisibly control the swords of these guards in her own hands, and these swords form the weapons of Mulan, which can be used to assassinate others.
But this kind of spiritual power, Mu Lan can not use wantonly, the use will only let the spiritual power bite back on themselves.
So Mu Lan never used it unless he had to.
Last life, also because of Mu Lan’s weakness and ignorance, let Prince Li Shiyuan know the secret, only to coax and cheat Mu Lan when the Crown Princess, again and again became Li Shiyuan’s murder weapon.
Eventually, Li Shiyuan used witchcraft to imprison his spiritual power, was injected with mercury, and died miserably.
“Why don’t you let the king search it?” Mu Zhantian roared.
The bodyguard came to his senses and panicked, but he did not dare to disobey the order and walked quickly towards the West Building.
Mu Lan stood motionless, looking at Mu Zhantian: “Since the king of Yi County is sure that there is an assassin in my house, I can generously let the king of Yi County enter and search, but if the king of Yi County doesn’t find it, what will happen?”
Mu Zhantian looked at Mu Lan in a gloomy way. He walked towards Mu Lan step by step, saying word by word: “Mu Lan, when the king can’t tolerate you, no matter who you are, the king can uproot you.”
“Is it?” Mu Lan smiled, a little bitterly, “I’m afraid that will make the king of Yi County miscalculate.”
Just as Mu Lan’s voice fell, Chen hurried over from afar: “What’s going on here? Why is there so much noise in the middle of the night?”
Mu Lan saw Chen butler appear, but calm. The appearance of
Chen butler was expected by Mu Lan.
He received his own benefits, the situation in the palace, Chen butler than anyone else, Mu Zhantian made such a big noise, Chen butler how can not know.
If Mu Lan did not subdue Chen butler, Chen butler would turn a blind eye.
But now Chen butler is standing on the side of Mulan, will naturally arrive at the first time, after all, Mulan’s means, Chen butler is very clear, if he turns a blind eye, Mulan but escaped this time, then the next person to die will be himself.
In Gu Fu, that sits in a bloody, but can be calm and calm Mu Lan, to now let Chen butler feel creepy. When
Mu Zhantian saw Chen’s housekeeper appear, his face changed, and apparently he did not expect to kill such a Cheng Yaojin on the way.
“Chen butler.” But Mu Lan lightly opened his mouth to explain, “I was sleeping, but the king of Yi County suddenly came, saying that he was in my house at the moment.”. Now that housekeeper Chen has come, it is good to have a witness, or I have been inexplicably framed, saying that the assassin is in my house. So tomorrow, if my grandmother asks, I will have a witness.
Chen butler obviously did not expect this to happen, he took a look at Mu Lan. But
Mu Lan spoke again: “In order to prove my innocence, I am willing to let the King of Yi County enter the house to search, but if the King of Yi County has not searched anything, but is so sure, can I think that the King of Yi County has ulterior motives?”
Her question was easily thrown out, and the housekeeper was embarrassed: “Miss, this..”
But Mu Lan had already yielded to one of them and said, “King of Yi County, please.”
Such generosity, but let Mu Zhantian some passive.
After all, the pursuit at the moment is only near the West Tower of Mu Wangfu, whether in Mu Lan’s room, the other party was poisoned, the moment will lose strength, and finally whether it really entered Mu Wangfu, is even more uncertain.
This move is just a temporary idea of Mu Zhantian to satisfy his own selfish desires.
Obviously did not expect, the goal was not achieved, but was placed together by Mu Lan.
Chen butler here, Mu Zhantian naturally want to give some thin face, and Mu Lan so unrelenting to go on, and then alarmed other people, in the old lady that is very difficult to explain.
Over the years, Wang Xueshuang seems to be out of the world, but anyone in the house knows very well that Wang Xueshuang has never been a fuel-efficient lamp.
And Wang Xueshuang’s weight in Mu Hongyuan is heavier than anyone else.
This is why for so many years, Chen Zhirong still can not smoothly control all the rights of Mu Wangfu.
Because Wang Xueshuang didn’t delegate all the power.
What’s the matter? Isn’t the king of Yi County going to search? Why don’t you go in now? But Mu Lan was provoking Mu Zhantian, looking at Mu Zhantian’s eyes more and more cold and merciless. “I’ve just arrived, and there’s only one bed, one table, and one wooden cabinet in the house. Whether there’s someone or not, you can see it clearly at a glance.”
Seeing that Mu Zhantian was not moving, Mu Lan raised her eyebrows and smiled: “Hexiang, go and open the door. We are upright people, but there is no need to hide it.”
He Xiang looked nervously at Mu Lan, but finally said calmly, “The maidservant is going.” On the
short road, the lotus fragrance is frightened.
Mu Zhantian did not know, but he Xiang was very clear that there were indeed people hiding in the house, and there was no beam in the house, no back door, as Mu Lan said, you can see clearly at a glance.
Open the door, what about it.
As a result, when Hexiang came to the door, Mu Zhantian suddenly waved his big hand, and the guards around him had put away their swords.
I heard Mu Zhan say in a cold voice, “No need.”. The king saw that Mu Lan’s sister was open and aboveboard, and that she was not hiding someone at the moment. So it seems that she is no longer in the palace at the moment. You go out and search for the king.
“Yes.” The bodyguard answered and soon changed direction and left.
Mu Zhantian looked at Mu Lan coldly, Mu Lan was calm, did not avoid Mu Zhantian’s eyes, a faint smile, this smile with sarcasm, watching Mu Zhantian left.
It was not until the figure of Mu Zhantian left that Mu Lan lowered his eyes and quietly looked at the housekeeper Chen: “Housekeeper Chen, Mu Lan is here to thank you.”
Chen nodded, quieted down, and then said, “Miss, in the palace, I’d better try to avoid the king of Yi County.”
“Thank you, butler Chen, for your advice.” Mu Lan thanked him.
Chen said nothing more: “Then ask the young lady to have a good rest, and the slave will leave first.”
Then butler Chen turned and left. But
Mu Lan suddenly stopped the butler, “butler Chen, would you please bring me some medicinal liquor, ginseng or something like that?”
Chen frowned, but he didn’t know the meaning of what Mu Lan had done. But Chen didn’t ask much. He nodded: “The slave knows. The slave will bring it to you personally in a moment.”
“Thank you.” Mu Lan nodded.
Mu Lan quietly stood in place, watched Chen butler leave, then hurried into the house, the lotus fragrance has obviously been frightened, cold sweat watching Mu Lan toward their own, the voice trembled.
Little.. Miss. Really scared the maidservant to death. If Yi.. The king of Yijun really went in.. He Xiang dared not think any more.
Mu Lan looked at the lotus fragrance, but said firmly: “Calm down, I am here one day, you will be all right.”. Even if I have something to do, I will do my best to keep you safe.
Simple words, but with firm strength, listen to the lotus fragrance eyes burst into red: “Miss…”
When butler Chen comes, put the snake into the medicinal liquor and soak it in ginseng, but don’t say anything about it, including butler Chen. Do you hear me? Mu Lan ordered carefully.
He Xiang looked at Mu Lan and asked, “Miss, what are you..”
Don’t ask, do as I say. Then watch outside. Don’t let anyone get close to the West Tower. If anyone gets close, warn me at the first opportunity. Mu Lan didn’t explain much.
He Xiang nodded and immediately followed Mu Lan’s orders.
Although Mu Lan knew that Mu Zhantian would not fight back under such circumstances, but for the sake of safety, Mu Lan still ordered to go down to avoid accidents.
After all, the identity of the people inside is really not to be underestimated.
Sink, Mu Lan then walked toward the house, she walked into the house, quickly closed the door of the house.
Li Shiyu against the wall, chest bursts of blood, looks shocking, even the green brick floor has been dyed.
Mu Lan’s face changed and he walked quickly in the direction of Li Shiyu. Mu Lan didn’t say a word
all the way.
Li Shiyu instinctively became alert when Mu Lan approached, but soon relaxed.
Mu Lan stood still in front of Li Shiyu, and his slender and boneless hand reached directly into the position of Li Shiyu’s chest, trying to take off his coat.
Li Shiyu subconsciously clasped Mu Lan’s hand: “What are you doing?”
“Examine the wound.” Mu Lan’s face does not change color. “Or do the four princes feel that they can see through their clothes?”
Li Shiyu clasped Mu Lan’s hand and did not let go. He looked at Mu Lan with sharp eyes. “Do you still know medicine?”
“No, I don’t know if the four princes will die at my hands in a while.” Mu Lan snorted coldly, “According to the wound of the four princes, I can’t get out of the palace now, because Mu Zhantian must be searching the whole city. If I go out, I’ll die. It’s better to die in my hands. At least there’s a whole body.”
Li Shiyu: “… …”
And Mu Lan is also too lazy to pay attention to Li Shiyu, neatly pulled off Li Shiyu’s clothes, two people stand on the edge of the bed.
Li Shiyu clasped Mu Lan’s hand and loosened it.
The whole person relaxed.
He was a little surprised by Mu Lan’s temper.
In the past, Mu Lan has been enough to let Li Shiyu unexpected, and now Mu Lan, neat way to deal with their wounds, even when they see bloody calm, as well as calm in the face of various situations, is by no means an ordinary girl so simple.
To Mu Lan’s suspicion, unavoidably deeper. In
such doubt, there is still a trace of inquiry.
As if want to see everything of Mu Lan thoroughly.
But Mu Lan did not care what Li Shiyu thought, focused on dealing with Li Shiyu’s wounds, old wounds plus new wounds, looks shocking and horrible.
The other side is obviously under the ruthless hand, the poison on the sword is fatal.
Fortunately, Li Shiyu just brushed, if it was a sword into the wound, do not have to wait until now, Li Shiyu would have died.
“Eat this.” Mulan frowned and took out a bottle of medicine from the head of the bed. He poured one into Li Shiyu. “After I treat the wound and the medicine takes effect, the four princes can leave here safely.”
Li Shiyu took the pill from Mu Lan’s hand, and their skin inevitably touched together.
Mu Lan subconsciously withdrew his hand, some to avoid suspicion.
But Li Shiyu looked thoughtfully at Mu Lan and said, “I was calm when I pulled out the king’s clothes, but now I’m avoiding suspicion.”
Mu Lan looked up at Li Shiyu and said, “The four princes think too much. I don’t like to touch unnecessary blood.”
Li Shiyu: “… …”
It’s really open and bright.
When the voice fell, Mu Lan had already treated the wound for Li Shiyu.
The pill was given to Mu Lan by Gu yuanzhi before he died, so that Mu Lan could hide it. These medicines can detoxify all kinds of poisons and keep them for a rainy day.
Mu Lan did not expect that the first person to use this medicine would be Li Shiyu.
But Mu Lan did not think much about it, just as he returned Li Shiyu’s previous life-saving grace. Had it not been for the appearance of Li Shiyu, I’m afraid the person who died tragically under the mouth of the snake was himself.
Even if she had the medicine, she wouldn’t have come back to get it.
Sinking, Mu Lan thoroughly bandaged Li Shiyu’s wound, and then directly ordered him to leave: “The four princes can leave.”
The voice fell, Mu Lan did not look at Li Shiyu, but bowed his head to deal with the blood on the ground, which must be cleaned up, otherwise it would only cause endless trouble.
Mu Zhantian won’t fight back tonight.
It doesn’t mean Mu Zhantian has given up.
Find the opportunity, he is still in danger, so under such circumstances, Mu Lan can not let himself have any handle in the hands of Mu Zhantian.
But Li Shiyu did not mean to leave, looking at Mu Lan, who was half kneeling on the ground to deal with the bloodstain, for a moment.
It was not until Mu Lan had handled the bloodstain and looked up that he said, “The fourth prince is going to ask me to find someone to ask you to go out?”
Voice fell, Mu Lan has also stood up.
Originally also negative hand and standing man, suddenly a force, directly clasped Mu Lan’s waist, Mu Lan was caught off guard, was pushed on the bed by Li Shiyu. The
simple bed board was a little hard, and Mu Lan’s waist was hurt.
She struggled, but she could not resist Li Shiyu’s strength.
In other words, Mu Lan did not want to expose too much in front of Li Shiyu. So Li Shiyu took advantage of the situation and pressed on Mu Lan.
The two men are very close. The tip
of Mulan’s nose was the musky smell of blood on the man’s body.
Close at hand is Li Shiyu’s handsome face.
Childe world matchless to describe Li Shiyu is more appropriate.
He is handsome and introverted, and he is a well-known handsome man in the Zhou Dynasty. He is gentle and harmless. Plus the identity of the four princes, although not as favored as the prince, there are no longer a few women flocking to it. In
Yu Wang Fu, there was only one missing imperial concubine, and there was never a shortage of side concubines and concubines.
Because Li Shiyu’s romance is also well known.
Also because of this, the last life of Mu Lan has never been in contact with Li Shiyu, she hates romantic people, like Gu yuanzhi and Li Ruolan as a pair of lifelong feelings.
But this life, Mu Lan only then understood that Li Shiyu’s romantic is only the superficial camouflage.
Let all people put down their guard, so that they can take what they want smoothly.
Only to fall short in the end.
But in any case, Li Shiyu is a man, Mu Lan can not be unscrupulous. She knows that
men and women are different.
Subconsciously, Mu Lan’s hand blocked Li Shiyu’s chest, but accidentally touched his wound, Li Shiyu’s eyebrows twisted, the pain of the heart hit in an instant.
But Li Shiyu never let go of Mu Lan. The
two men are getting closer and closer.
Even, Li Shiyu’s high bridge of the nose has touched the tip of Mu Lan’s nose, thin lips if there is no sweep from her lips, such a gesture, ambiguous to the extreme.
Mu Lan’s eyebrows twisted up, faintly impatient.
She didn’t know how long she could pretend, or how long she could endure.
When Mu Lan wanted to backhand, Li Shiyu suddenly loosened a few points, but still looked down at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan’s hand slightly closed, gathered down the strength, calmly looked at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows and let out a short laugh. In the quiet dark night, such a laugh was particularly low, with a bit of bewitching: “Miss Mu, when you see the body of this king, don’t you want to make a promise with your body?”
Mu Lan, on the other hand, was calm and answered out of the blue: “Since ancient times, only when a woman’s body is seen, she has to promise her body, not a man.” As
he spoke, Mu Lan suddenly smiled sarcastically. “Still, the four princes are actually women. If that’s the case, I’m afraid it’s still a crime of deceiving the emperor.”
“Sharp teeth.” Li Shi-yu laughed angrily. “Mu Lan, are you not willing to take any losses?”
“If I go back to the four princes, I think I’ll suffer a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have risked being killed by Mu Zhantian and left the four princes behind.” Mu Lan’s face does not change color.
Li Shiyu laughed completely.
Then, Li Shiyu released Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was free, the first time and Li Shiyu kept a distance, Li Shiyu did not leave, narrow and simple bed, the two are still almost no gap between the fit.
Mu Lan, however, remained calm: “Why aren’t the four princes leaving?”
Obvious marching orders.
But Li Shiyu was not impatient. He looked at Mu Lan lightly and said thoughtfully, “Mu Lan, there is a missing imperial concubine in the palace.”
The implication could not be clearer.
As long as Mu Lan is willing, the position of Princess Yu is Mu Lan’s. Other things, do not need Mu Lan trouble, Li Shiyu can arrange naturally. In any case, it is more than enough for
a fourth prince to marry the legitimate daughter of Prince Mu.
