The threat is useless
Phoenix Nirvana: The road
of glory and favor of the demon queen is naturally determined to be pregnant, and it is impossible for Mu Zhihua to stay in Mu Wangfu to avoid further accidents. People who
are thieves are always guilty, how many dark means here, how can Mu Zhihua not be clear, she followed Chen Zhirong, despicable things to do more, always afraid that these things will one day be calculated on their own body.
Mu Zhihua can only run.
And now I can’t say anything about my pregnancy.
Avoid further complications.
After all, the position of Crown Princess, which has been in hand, can be destroyed because of the appearance of Mu Lan, not to mention the present situation, which is the last trump card of Mu Zhihua, she has to turn over by relying on this piece of meat in her stomach.
And the atmosphere in the snow falling building was even more gloomy and terrible, and completely deadlocked.
Mu Lan is waiting for the answer calmly.
But Mu’s two brothers and sisters are deadlocked in the same place.
They are competing for patience. It was Mu Lan who
finally opened his mouth and stood up, looking a little tired. “Since the king of Yi County can’t answer my question, we can only do it according to my request.”. Ho-hsiang, I’m tired. I haven’t been in good health these days, and I can’t keep blowing. I didn’t expect to be broken by this rule. You help me go back to rest.
“Yes, young lady.” He Xiang answered respectfully and had already come forward to hold Mu Lan.
But Mu Lan went on to say, “Tell the housekeeper Chen that I am in charge of this matter, and tell him to deal with it according to the family rules of Prince Mu’s mansion. If there is any neglect, I will absolutely forgive anyone.”
Soft voice, sounds gentle, but every word with a bloody breath.
Mu Zhihua was pregnant, and no one knew what would happen if he knelt down all night. When
Mu Zhihua heard this, he was so frightened that he grabbed Mu Zhantian’s hand. “Brother, I can’t let Mu Lan do this. I don’t want to be here. I want to go back with you. I can only die here. My mother died unjustly in this palace. I don’t want to be here. Mu Lan is not a person at all. She just wants to kill me.”
Mu Zhihua cried out hysterically. Then came
Mu Zhantian’s voice: “I must take the painting away today. Mu Lan, don’t bully people too much. If you go on doing this today, it won’t be enough to pay for your life. You’ll also implicate Prince Mu’s mansion.”
“Oh?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the two brothers and sisters who were singing in front of him.
One is crying, the other is threatening himself with a cold face.
On the contrary, it was Mu Lan who took his time: “If this thing goes on, how can I implicate Prince Mu?”? It’s better for the king of Yi County to say something clearly, or if I’m cranky, I may not be careful to make any guesses.
With that, Mu Lan’s eyes fell on Mu Zhihua’s still flat lower abdomen.
Eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and there was a hint of banter in her voice: “Isn’t it possible that Miss Yi is pregnant?”? If this is really the case, I am afraid to spread out, not only to the reputation of Prince Mu, but also to Miss Yi is a disaster. Miss Yi still wants to do something with this piece of meat, and there should be no chance.
Light and indifferent words are full of threats. He told all his guesses
half truthfully and half falsely.
Said, Mu Lan looked at the brother and sister standing in front of him, his face changed and changed, that is a kind of gratifying feeling.
She knew that it was absolutely impossible for Mu Zhihua to publicize her pregnancy.
So Mu Lan wanted to force the two men to tell the news in person.
Even, Mu Lan did not conceal the gloating of his eyes, but turned back, step by step to the front of Mu Zhihua.
Otherwise, I can’t think of any reason why Miss Yi would be so nervous. After all, this is what Miss Yi is thinking about. Mu Lan said every word very clearly, and did not give Mu Zhihua any chance to avoid it.
Mu Zhihua’s face was already frightened.
Compared with Mu Zhihua, Mu Zhantian is much calmer.
Mu Lan’s fierce, Mu Zhantian has always been very clear, Mu Lan can so brazenly say these, which means that Mu Lan has long known that Mu Zhihua is pregnant.
Otherwise, Mu Lan does not need to go to a lot of trouble around this circle to say this matter.
“Brother,” Mu Zhihua called Mu Zhantian.
Mu Zhantian looked at Mu Zhihua and gave her a calm look.
But Mu Lan continued with a half-smile, “All right, I’m going to have a rest. I don’t have time to stay here with the King of Yi County and Miss Yi. Housekeeper Chen, do as I tell you. Don’t let me know that you have any slack.”
This, on the surface, is said to Chen butler, but everyone knows that this is said to the two in front of them.
Mu Lan is waiting for Mu Zhantian to take the initiative.
And now under such circumstances, Mu Zhantian does not recruit also want to recruit.
Sure enough, as Mu Lan’s voice fell, Mu Zhantian had a cold face and a tight mandible. Because of his anger, his cheeks bulged, and every word seemed to come from the depths of his throat, with a gloomy warning.
Mu Lan, since you know, haven’t you ever thought about the consequences of what you did? This is the eldest son of the prince, my people have been speeding into the east palace to tell the prince this matter, this time, the prince has also known. The prince has no children, and the empress is most concerned about the issue of children. Do you think you can do whatever you want?
Mu Zhantian’s voice was very low, and he gnashed his teeth with hatred: “Naturally, I will also ask for my father’s name in this matter.”. Is there no sense of propriety in Dad’s heart? And you are allowed to run wild here.
Mu Zhihua heard Mu Zhantian say that he was pregnant, and he was a little nervous.
On the contrary, Mu Lan still looked calm: “So the king of Yi County told me clearly that I can’t afford to offend because Miss Yi wants to enter the East Palace.”
Mu Zhantian did not expect that after he said, Mu Lan also looked indifferent.
He served in the palace, a lot of things in Mu Zhantian, he must know more than Mu Lan.
And now in the palace, Li Shiyuan really wants to make Mu Lan Crown Princess, Mu Zhantian is also dealing with this matter, but the people who have ideas about Mu Lan are rising today. The biggest purpose of this three-year
draft is to select concubines for the emperor and continue their children, not for anything else.
The emperor looks down on the woman, may enter refers to the marriage, again along with the rank height, decides is the palace maid or the female official.
And if Li Changtian has an idea, Li Shiyuan has no way at all. When
Li Changtian was still on the throne, Li Shiyuan’s resistance was the crime of deceiving the emperor. Li Shiyuan would not take such a risk of disrespect for a woman, not to mention that after Feng Changyang entered the palace, Li Changtian’s situation really stabilized.
Under such circumstances, once Li Shiyuan has no way, then the person who enters the East Palace will be Mu Zhihua.
Mu Zhihua will still be a legitimate Crown Princess.
Mu Hongyuan’s idea, Mu Zhantian is very clear.
These children are just chess pieces, who is the Crown Princess, for Mu Hongyuan, it is not important, he wants his own power and interests.
But Mu Lan’s attitude made Mu Zhantian suddenly lose such a determined mood.
It seems that everything is under the control of Mulan, not something that outsiders like them can control.
But on the surface, Mu Zhantian had no intention of compromising. He sneered, “Mu Lan, since you know, how dare you be rude to Zhihua?”
This, did not let Mu Lan panic, but more and more appear contemptuous smile.
She looked at Mu Zhantian very seriously. Her red lips moved slightly, and every word she said was particularly clear: “Miss Yi must protect this piece of meat in her stomach and enter the East Palace smoothly.”. Don’t let me down.
Mu Zhantian and Mu Zhihua twisted their eyebrows.
Obviously, no one thought that under such circumstances, Mu Lan could say these words fearlessly. In
her bright little face, there is no longer any sunshine, bright eyes covered with a layer of black fog, behind the fog, like thousands of pairs of bloody hands, at any time out of the cocoon.
Shocking, but also chilling.
After all, I’m so lonely in the palace. If I don’t have an opponent, I’ll be bored. Therefore, Zhihua sister must live well and enter the East Palace. Otherwise, sister, I really have no challenge at all. Don’t you think so, sister? Every word of Mu Lan is particularly clear. As the
voice fell, Mu Lan did not even look at the two brothers and sisters who were present. With Ren Hexiang supporting them, a cold and merciless voice came: “Xiao Qi, see the guests off.”
Mu Zhihua was surprised.
She wanted to show her teeth and claws at Mulan, but she had been suppressed by Mulan without any ability to resist.
Even Mu Zhantian, who had always been calm, could not calm down in Mu Lan’s words.
Mu Lan is so unfathomable that no one can figure out what Mu Lan is thinking. In front of Mu Lan,
they seem to be transparent and have no ability to resist at all. Such a person is too dangerous to keep, but now, Mu Zhantian is powerless to find that they want to move Mu Lan, is already more difficult.
But Xiao Qi came over and said with an expressionless face, “King of Yi County, Miss Yi, please welcome.”
Mu Zhantian left in a huff, and Mu Zhihua followed closely behind Mu Zhantian.
Results two people did not expect, out of the snow building, but saw Chen housekeeper waiting outside, Chen housekeeper’s expression did not change much, said every word but appears cold and ruthless.
“King Yi, I won’t send you out of the mansion.” Chen’s attitude was not unusual, and he immediately looked at Mu Chih-hua and said, “Miss, please come with the slave.”
This is to remind Mu Zhihua that she is now removed from the identity of Miss Yi and is still a member of Mu Wangfu, so naturally she has to abide by the rules of Mu Wangfu.
“Housekeeper Chen, do you know that if something happens to this young lady, your head will fall.” Mu Zhihua is warning butler Chen.
And she hid behind Mu Zhantian.
Chen butler, however, seemed not to be influenced by Mu Zhihua. He said coldly, “The slave is just following orders. Please don’t embarrass the slave.”. Everything in this house, big or small, is up to the young lady. When the young lady orders it, the slave can only do it. There is no joke or concession in the
words.
“Steward Chen, the king has treated you well.” Mu Zhantian opened his mouth.
The butler still didn’t change his expression, but he remembered his old love: “King of Yi County, you know who loses in this house now. Since you can’t change the young lady, you can only ask the prince to come back and arbitrate according to the young lady’s wishes.”
Mu Zhantian’s face changed. Mu Hongyuan is not aware of
this matter for the time being.
After all, Li Shiyuan has not made any statement.
First poke to Mu Hongyuan that, in terms of Mu Hongyuan’s character, is not a good thing.
So now, Mu Zhan Genius will be held by Mu Lan, there is no ability to resist, and Chen butler’s stand in line has been very clear, but will not give them any chance to escape.
Sink, and Mu Lan in the palace of the king of Mu is really not the best policy.
Then, Mu Zhantian looked at Mu Zhihua, and Mu Zhihua was horrified by Mu Zhantian: “Brother, you won’t really let me kneel down, will you?”
Mu Zhihua went to see a doctor today. Although she was pregnant, because of the recent turmoil, the fetus in Mu Zhihua’s belly was not stable and could have a miscarriage at any time. Under such circumstances, how could Mu Zhihua take the slightest risk.
“Be obedient.” Mu Zhantian, however, has no intention of compromising. “What good is it for you to fight hard now?”
In a word, let Mu Zhihua cease.
It really doesn’t do any good.
Hard-hitting will only make Mu Lan use a more despicable way, and Mu Lan can put Chen Zhirong to death, will also deal with themselves in the same way.
Mu Zhantian leaned over and lowered his voice to Mu Zhihua’s ear: “Now that the prince knows about your pregnancy, the prince will bring you out as soon as possible. As long as you keep your place in the ancestral temple, you don’t need to kneel down. Mu Lan won’t drive you to death at this time. She just wants to embarrass us.”
Mu Zhihua is still shaking his head.
“Be obedient.” Mu Zhantian’s voice was even deeper. “Don’t fool around. Otherwise, not to mention the position of Crown Princess, you won’t be able to save your life.”. By tomorrow morning at the most, there will be results. When have I ever lied to you? Under
such circumstances, Mu Zhihua knew that she had no choice but to believe in Mu Zhantian, and now the only person she could rely on was Mu Zhantian.
Finally, Mu Zhihua nodded tremblingly.
Mu Zhantian loosened Mu Zhihua.
Mu Zhihua’s hand is still tightly attached to his lower abdomen, dead to protect, that is her amulet, absolutely can not do anything.
And things are just as Mu Zhantian expected, after Chen butler locked Mu Zhihua in the ancestral temple, he did not let people look at Mu Zhihua, Mu Zhihua did not kneel down, just found a place to sit down in the ancestral temple.
At night, the ancestral temple is particularly cool, no matter what season the ancestral temple is at this time with a rustling chill, but the difference between cold and colder.
Mu Zhihua stayed up all night, curled up, his eyes alert.
After a while, her eyes were bloodshot.
Looking at the Buddha in the ancestral temple, Mu Zhihua was even more frightened to scream.
But the slaves outside the ancestral temple did not seem to hear anything, let alone enter a step.
This night’s wooden king seems quiet, but the undercurrent is surging. In the
snow falling building.
Mu Lan dismissed the lotus fragrance and put out the lamp.
Mu Lan ordered Hexiang not to be allowed to come in and disturb herself before dawn tomorrow morning, and Hexiang left.
But Mu Lan did not fall asleep.
After the lotus fragrance left, Mu Lan quickly changed his night clothes and hurried away from the back door of Mu Wang Fu. The black night clothes soon melted Mu Lan into the night, silently.
She shuttled through remote alleys to Yuwangfu in the southwest of Kyoto. Most of the dignitaries
of Dazhou live in the east, where the sun rises, which is a blessed place in geomantic omen, while Yuwangfu is in the southwest corner, almost near the west, where the sun sets.
When the fief was built, the address was chosen by Qu Huachang himself.
The implication is very clear, in the west, you can only watch the sun set, not rise, never have the possibility of ascending the throne.
It is a metaphor and a warning to Li Shiyu all the time.
But Li Shiyu does not seem to mind at all, since the queen, has been living here, and there is no objection, which also let Qu Huachang Li Shiyu’s wariness gradually put down.
Soon, Mu Lan arrived at the periphery of Yu Wang Fu. The palace was quiet
, and the lanterns were hanging. She leaped up, and as soon as she jumped into the palace, a sharp sword was already on Mu Lan’s neck. “Who is it?”
That’s the voice of Rongsi.
Mulan immediately recognized him and calmly said, “Mulan.”
Rong temple startled, obviously did not expect Mu Lan will appear here, he put away the sword, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes but with a trace of puzzlement, there is a faint dissatisfaction.
Mu Lan knew that Li Shiyu followed the cliff, so that these confidants around him were extremely dissatisfied with themselves. From Li Shiyu’s return to the present, Mu Lan could not get in touch with anyone except shopkeeper Wang, let alone get any information. Even Mu Zhanxiao seems to be missing.
So, today Mu Lan came to Yu Wang Fu in person.
This is also the first time that Mu Lan and Li Shiyu have taken the initiative to enter the territory of this person since they were entangled.
“Why did Miss Mu come to Yu’s mansion?” Rong Si calmly opened his mouth, “If you are looking for Your Highness, Your Highness has already rested and does not see guests.”. Besides, in the middle of the night, when Miss Mu comes, isn’t she afraid of being spread out to make trouble? This is not a safe place in Yu Wang Fu.
The implication is that the order to leave is given. Before he left
, Mulan stood close to the wall. “What happened to Your Highness?”
She opened the door to Jianshan and asked directly, without any ambiguity.
“Your Highness is fine. There’s no need to worry. Thank you, Miss Mu, for your concern. Your subordinates will tell Your Highness.”
Still is the meaning of banishment, not to mention the meaning of talking more with Mu Lan, strictly guard against death.
Such an attitude makes Mu Lan twist his eyebrows more and more.
Mu Lan is calm on the surface, but his brain is turning very fast. When he saw Li Shiyu for the first time after his rebirth, Li Shiyu was seriously injured. At that time, Mu Lan gave Li Shiyu the life-saving pills he carried with him, which were prepared by ghost hands.
Ordinary poison can’t hurt Li Shiyu.
But now, under such circumstances
, Mu Lan’s eyebrows twisted: “What if I must see the Fourth Royal Highness?”
“I also asked Miss Mu not to embarrass her subordinates.” “Miss Mu, this is Prince Yu’s Mansion.” The implication is
that if there is a conflict, Mu Lan will not do any good. Most of the people in
Yu Wang Fu are not Li Shiyu’s people, and Mu Lan’s intrusion into Yu Wang Fu will soon spread all over Kyoto, which can only expose Mu Lan to danger.
Mu Lan such a cautious person, certainly will not do such a thing. “I’m disturbing you,” Mulan said after a
heavy silence.
She nodded, and then did not embarrass Rong Temple, soon climbed over the wall, disappeared from the front of Rong Temple, Rong Temple stood in place for a while, to make sure that Mu Lan had gone, and then turned to walk in the direction of the main building.
After a few steps, Rong Si saw the figure of Li Shiyu in single clothes.
“Your Royal Highness.” Rong Si respectfully paid his respects.
Li Shi-yu hummed: “Is the man gone?” The voice fell and he coughed a few times.
“Miss Mu has left.” Rong Si answered.
Li Shiyu hum, did not say what, that cough sound becomes obvious again. Most of the toxins on Mu Lan’s body were cleaned up, but they entered the body carelessly. In addition, in those days under the cliff, Li Shiyu worried Mu Lan, so he pressed them with internal force, which led to the complete outbreak of toxins, even more out of control.
Every time you cough, if you don’t press it, you are likely to cough up blood.
After taking the medicine, the effect is not very good.
Li Shiyu knew very well that these things must be metabolized slowly, but it happened that metabolism was an extremely difficult thing, so he was deadlocked. Even when he entered the palace, Li Shiyu was ill and never entered the palace during this period.
Li Shiyuan let the doctor came, the doctor only said that Li Shiyu was infected with cold, the doctor said so, which dispelled Li Shiyuan’s suspicion of Li Shiyu.
But it’s only about Wangxianglou.
After all, Li Shiyuan made too many enemies.
And under such circumstances, Li Shiyu also does not want to let Mu Lan see, can not say why, except do not want to let Mu Lan remember, perhaps the dignity of men do not want Li Shiyu to appear in front of Mu Lan with such a weak appearance.
Your Highness, go back and rest. The medicine is ready. Rong Si twisted his eyebrows and advised Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu hum, did not say anything, turned and walked toward the main building.
As a result, Li Shiyu walked into the main building of the house, but saw Mu Lan standing in the house, this, Li Shiyu surprised, Mu Lan raised eyebrows, staring at Li Shiyu.
“How did you get in?” Li Shiyu asked directly.
Mu Lan sneered, “Can Lord Yung really guard against me?”
Li Shiyu walks toward Mu Lan: “It seems that the king has looked down on you.”
Mu Lan did not talk nonsense with Li Shiyu, a few eyes can see Li Shiyu’s weakness, although Li Shiyu looks the same as usual on the surface, but the pale face, as well as the subtle sweat on his forehead, can see Li Shiyu’s abnormality. The
slender hand had already caught Li Shiyu’s pulse, and then Mu Lan’s brows twisted up: “Li Shiyuan is ruthless and ruthless. The poison on the edge of the sword before was Seven Days of Broken Soul.” The poison in
her body had been removed at that time, Mu Lan naturally would not judge, but now, Li Shiyu broke out, Mu Lan can judge out.
Seven-day broken soul can make people suffer after poisoning, but they will not die within seven days. A little bit goes deep into the blood, heart and lungs, and eventually makes you die in pain. There is no room
for manoeuvre.
Not even an antidote.
If you want to force out the poison, you must go to the person who forces the poison.
And Li Shiyu is the one who forces poison. Had it
not been for the fact that Li Shiyu had taken the pills left by the ghost hand to Mu Lan a few months earlier, I’m afraid Li Shiyu would soon be a ghost.
In this way, it seems that she Mu Lan owes Li Shiyu again.
Even if had saved Li Shiyu, so you come and I go, owe more is Mu Lan, not Li Shiyu.
“Why are you worried about Ben Wang?” Li Shiyu smiled in a low voice and coughed lightly.
Mulan’s face was expressionless. “I just don’t want to owe an innocent life.”
“The king is all right.” Li Shi-yu explains, It just takes a little time. The king naturally knows what poison it is. Although there is no solution, but the toxin into the body of the king is very light, half a month’s time is enough to metabolize clean. He didn’t go to the palace or leave Yu Wang Fu because he didn’t want to arouse the prince’s suspicion. There are many kinds of
cough, and cold is one of them, which can lead to a long cough.
But under such circumstances, once Li Shiyu enters the palace, it does not mean that Li Shiyuan will not find out, coupled with Li Shiyuan’s vigilance, once accidentally exposed, it will fall into the abyss.
Mu Lan narrowed his eyes and listened to Li Shiyu’s words, but in the end he did not doubt them.
Li Shiyu did not mean to deceive himself in this matter.
Now that she knew that Li Shi-yu wasn’t too surprised, Mu Lan naturally didn’t want to stay here much longer. She held back all her emotions and said lightly, “Since your Highness is all right, I won’t bother you any more. I’ll leave first.”
With that, Mu Lan really turned around and walked away, without any attachment.
Li Shiyu was quiet, and finally he was completely dumbfounded by Mu Lan’s attitude.
He has seen realistic people, but like Mu Lan such a realistic person, Li Shiyu is really the first time to see, can turn around and walk without mercy. What
it means.
Mu Lan has never had his own place in his heart, has he?
In other words, in the face of all interests, Mu Lan has always been able to distinguish what should be done and what should not be done.
“Stop.” Li Shiyu’s voice boomed, “Is Yu Wang Fu the place where you come and go as you wish?”
Mu Lan didn’t even look back. “Isn’t Prince Mu’s mansion also a place where your Highness comes and goes as soon as he says?”
Li Shiyu laughed and coughed a few more times.
Mu Lan’s footsteps slightly paused, in the corner of the eye, see Li Shiyu with his hand covering his lips, and then take away the moment, faintly see the blood, not obvious, but enough to let people see clearly.
With this coughing action, Li Shiyu’s eyebrows twisted up.
But Mu Lan was just stunned, and when he came to his senses, he turned around and was about to leave.
This, Li Shiyu’s movement is faster, almost instantaneously moved to the front of Mu Lan, the big hand firmly clasped Mu Lan’s hand, the strength is still not light.
Mulan frowned. “Your Highness, you are no match for me now.”
“Try it.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
Mu Lan did not move, Li Shiyu also did not move, in two people’s stalemate, Mu Lan finally started first, used the strength to break free from Li Shiyu’s imprisonment.
No mercy at all.
Mu Lan began to regret his eventful visit to Yu Wang Fu today. Even if
Li Shiyu is going to die, it is not at this point, what she thinks, but also at such a risk, the more she thinks of Mu Lan, the more silly she feels, and naturally it is impossible to show mercy.
Sure enough, Mu Lan such an action, let Li Shiyu stuffy hum. The man who
was about to leave suddenly turned around when he heard Li Shiyu’s voice, and then noticed that Li Shiyu’s clothes had oozed blood.
Mu Lan immediately came back and said, “Li Shiyu, your wound hasn’t healed at all.” There’s still poison in
those wounds.
Otherwise, it is impossible to push Li Shiyu to such a point.
Mu Lan cursed in a low voice in his heart.
And Li Shiyu has staggered, the whole person against the wall, Mu Lan quickly walked to the front of Li Shiyu, regardless of the difference between men and women, tore Li Shiyu’s clothes.
Then Mu Lan was stunned. Wrapped
in her clothes, she had never found such an obvious wound on Li Shiyu’s back, and the wound left on her chest had healed, but it was still clearly visible.
And on this man’s body, there are many wounds, big and small.
And Li Shiyuan’s people, when the war left, these wounds, are also into the poison, the two toxins mixed, it is not as simple as seven days to break the soul.
“Why didn’t you say something?” Mu Lan asked in a cold voice. Still standing,
Li Shiyu said, “Put on the king’s clothes.”
“Shut up.” Mu Lan scolded and said, “Lie down on the soft bed.”
The voice fell, Mu Lan impolitely took this person to the soft collapse edge, Li Shiyu’s body naked in front of Mu Lan.
The man has lost some weight.
But the texture is still clear, with breathing, shoulder blade up and down, the above wound has long been handled safely, naturally do not need Mu Lan to start.
What Mu Lan has to deal with is the residual poison on Li Shiyu.
Those that gradually seep through the fine veins.
She took out the needle bag from her waist and neatly pricked it on Li Shiyu’s body, skillfully, without feeling the slightest pain or hesitation. Concentrate
and never miss a thing.
Until all the needles were stuck down, the fine beads of sweat between Mulan’s forehead also slipped down, but she was unaware of it. The place that had been pricked
by the silver needle gradually began to ooze black liquid, not much, but also quickly impregnated the whole back.
Li Shiyu’s cough became intense, as if the dirty blood that had been suppressed in his chest for a long time had spurted out directly. It splashed on Mulan’s black night clothes.
The dirty blood instantly merged with the black cloth, but nothing could be seen.
The ground is inevitably contaminated with some.
“Don’t move.” Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu warningly.
Li Shiyu really didn’t move. But this person’s eyes are tender and gentle fall on Mu Lan’s body, and they are not the same when they are opposite, now Li Shiyu is a little more lazy, obviously in a mess, but people can not feel the plight of this person.
More attention is paid to the man’s eyes.
Mu Lan turned around uncomfortably, his ears slightly red.
Then she got up and went to the door.
Li Shiyu didn’t stop it either. Rong Jiu, who was standing
outside the door, heard the noise and immediately said, “Your Highness, do you have any orders?”
“Go and bring a basin of hot water and a clean veil.” Mu Lan did not explain, but said to himself.
Rong Jiu: “… …”
He was startled. Why would
Mu Lan in the house, obviously before the temple has let Mu Lan leave, and Mu Lan really left, Rong Temple is even waiting for Mu Lan to go far before turning around.
And now?
“Is there a problem?” Mu Lan is a little impatient.
“If there’s a problem, just wait for your master to bleed to death.” With that, Mu Lan was too lazy to speak any more.
But Li Shi-yu gave a low smile and said, “Yung Chiu is frightened by you.”
“Is Lord Yung so timid?” Mulan raised an eyebrow. “It shouldn’t be.”
“Mulan, you are making Ben Wang more and more curious.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
Mu Lan did not answer.
And Rong Jiu this time the speed is very fast, did not let Mu Lan wait long, outside the door came a knock, then Rong Jiu pushed the door and entered, carrying what Mu Lan wanted.
But suddenly saw such a picture, Rong Jiu was still surprised.
Only in Li Shiyu’s eyes, Rong Jiu gradually calmed down and stood quietly.
Mu Lan quickly to Li Shiyu to deal with, Rong Jiuyi basin for hot water and clean veil, until Mu Lan thoroughly clean.
Then, Rong Jiu so quietly retreated out, before going out, he could not help but look at Mu Lan one more time, Mu Lan did not see directly. The sky
outside began to brighten slightly.
Mu Lan knew that he had wasted too much time in Yu Wang Fu, and if he didn’t go back, he would be looking for trouble.
Mu Zhihua was locked up in the ancestral temple.
And Mu Zhihua pregnant news Li Shiyuan must also know, in reason, Mu Zhantian’s ability to deal with things, Li Shiyuan today is bound to appear in Mu Wangfu, if not see themselves, it is hard to say.
Sink, Mu Lan collected the mood, and then looked at Li Shiyu, who had already dressed leisurely, she did not say anything more, and said goodbye to leave.
“Mulan, don’t touch anything. The king warned you not to get involved.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly at the moment when Mu Lan turned around.
Mu Lan knew what Li Shiyu was referring to, but Mu Lan did not mean much to explain, and did not want to bring trouble to Ji Niang.
“Where did you get that list?” Li Shiyu asked heavily.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and said, “Your Royal Highness has a good ability to cross the river and tear down the bridge. Mu Lan is naturally impressed.”
Li Shiyu did not pay attention to Mu Lan’s Yin and Yang strange gas, tall figure has come to the front of Mu Lan, still with a faint smell of blood, not a moment of watching.
Mu Lan did not shy away. The person who
finally took a step back was Li Shiyu, who let go of Mu Lan, put his hands behind his back, and changed the subject very lightly: “Mu Chih-hua is pregnant.”
“I know. She wanted to stay in the palace of Yi County to save her life, but she was brought back by the steward Chen, and now she’s left in the ancestral temple to kneel down as a punishment.” Mu Lan said without blinking an eyelid.
Li Shiyu: “… …” How can I wait for His Holiness to tell me what is under
my eyes? Besides, why don’t your Highness think that I have contributed a lot to Mu Zhihua’s pregnancy? If you don’t fan flames, how can prince be wronged by me and turn around and throw himself into the arms of his old lover? Mu Lan seemed to smile.
Li Shiyu pinched some painful eyebrows.
Knowing Mu Lan, it seems that except for the few days under the cliff, almost every day is soul-stirring.
“Why did Your Highness specifically tell me this?” Unexpectedly, Mu Lan once again took the initiative to say, “Is it to tell me that Mu Chi-hua is pregnant, that this piece of meat in her belly will be the trump card, and that eventually Mu Chi-hua will be the crown princess?”
Li Shiyu did not speak, but did not deny Mu Lan’s speculation.
“Impossible.” Mu Lan’s answer is tough.
Li Shiyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Mu Lan, Dazhou is not the place you play with in the palm of your hand.”. If your father takes a fancy to you, you won’t be able to escape. At that time, no one will be able to help you, let alone the prince.
“Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your hard work. Mu Lan naturally has a pretty good idea.” Mu Lan smiled, with confidence in his smile, and did not panic because of the situation that now looks awkward.
“You and Mu Chih-hua, who is the Crown Princess, doesn’t have much influence on Prince Mu, as long as this person belongs to Prince Mu’s palace.”
“Mmm.”
“The crown prince has always had a clear distinction between power and beauty. The day of the draft is coming, and when the emperor turns over the cards, the crown prince won’t say a word more.”
“Mmm.”
……
No matter what Li Shiyu said, Mu Lan was so neither salty nor light.
It was not until Li Shiyu was somewhat angered by Mu Lan’s attitude that he said, “What the king said, did you turn a deaf ear to it?”
Then why don’t your Highness come straight to the point and say what he wants? Going around in circles is not like your Highness, who is not open and aboveboard enough. Mu Lan is direct, do not leave a little leeway to Li Shiyu. On the contrary,
Li Shiyu was so excited by Mu Lan that he could not speak. The
thin lips pursed, and the words to the mouth were swallowed. Fighting
with Mu Lan, Li Shiyu always has an illusion that in front of Mu Lan, whoever offers his heart will lose in a mess.
“Mu Lan.” Li Shiyu called out the man’s name, “Do you know that once you become the concubine of your father, if your father dies, you will either be buried with him or stay in the Gengen Temple until you die.”. Is this what you want?
Mu Lan suddenly looked at Li Shiyu.
This person is very close, but Mu Lan feels this person is very far away.
Her eyes blinked, unable to tell whether it was a smile or something else, and her voice was even fainter: “Then Mu Lan wants to ask, if there is really this time, will Your Highness come and take Mu Lan away?”
Li Shiyu did not speak.
“If your Highness is willing to take Mulan away at that time, Mulan will certainly follow your Highness and have no idea anymore.” Every word of Mu Lan is particularly clear.
But Mu Lan knew very well how selfish his words were in Li Shiyu’s ears.
But this is the deepest expectation of Mu Lan’s heart.
Whether she entered the palace, eventually Li Shiyuan’s Crown Princess or Li Changtian’s concubine, as long as Li Shiyu could come and take herself away, it meant that she had really rewritten history, and Li Shiyu’s lifelong nightmare would not happen again.
This man will be safe. Dazhou will really walk into the flourishing age.
But Mu Lan did not explain much, just so quietly watching.
She thought Li Shiyu would refute herself.
As a result, Li Shiyu’s deep and magnetic voice came, but it was beyond Mu Lan’s expectation: “Yes, if the king takes you away, your wings will be broken, so that you can only be under the protection of the king for the rest of your life. You can’t fly anywhere, and you will become a canary kept by the king.”
Mu Lan smiled and pointed to Li Shiyu’s chest. “Your Highness, Mu Lan has remembered. So Mu Lan is waiting for Your Highness to come and pick up Mu Lan one day.”
Voice fell, Mu Lan onion white fingers were suddenly clasped by Li Shiyu, a force, the whole person was brought to Li Shiyu’s arms.
Mu Lan is calm.
But Li Shiyu’s thin lips suddenly pressed down, very lightly on Mu Lan’s lips, as if in Mu Lan’s heart heavy lift.
Finally it fell on Mulan’s ear: “Mulan, wait for the king.”
Say that finish, Mu Lan’s earlobe was severely bitten by this person.
Mu Lan glared at this person, impolitely pushed this person away, directly opened the window and jumped out, completely ignoring the meaning of Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu stood in place, smiling in a low voice.
Just then there was a knock at the door. Li Shiyu answered, and Rong Jiu pushed the door and entered. “Your Highness, Miss Mu has gone. Rong Si has followed her.”
“Mmm.” Li Shiyu didn’t say much, but when he looked at Rong Jiu again, Li Shiyu seemed to smile. “Over the years, Mu Lan is probably one of the few people who can so brazenly slip from your brother’s eyes to the palace of the king.”
“Subordinates are incompetent.” Rong Jiu knelt down.
“Get up.” Li Shi-yu doesn’t mean to blame him. “Mulan is a mystery in itself, unfathomable, and there’s nothing shameful about being defeated by her.”
Rong Jiu did not speak, but still felt ashamed.
Li Shiyu went on to order, “Let the Rong Temple follow you, and let the king take good care of you. The king will not allow her to have anything to do.”
“Subordinates obey.” Rong Jiu answered.
As Rong Jiu was leaving, Li Shiyu suddenly called to him, “What’s going on in the palace?”
Rong Jiu knew what Li Shiyu was asking: “The empress knew that Mu Zhihua was pregnant. The prince left the palace early in the morning and rushed to Mu’s palace, but the prince didn’t say anything. The empress and the queen mother were hinting at the prince, and no one could guess what the prince was thinking.”
Rong Jiu explained the situation in the palace: But when the prince leaves the palace, things will probably change. Because the prince has left the palace, Mu Zhantian immediately reported the incident to Prince Mu. I’m afraid the palace of Prince Mu is very busy today.
Li Shiyu listened quietly, nodded for a long time, and said nothing more.
He stood on the edge of the bed, thoughtful.
Rong Jiu did not dare to disturb, and quickly retreated. Inside the main building
of Yuwangfu, peace was restored, as if nothing had ever happened before.
Mu Lan rushed back to Mu Wangfu before dawn and returned to Luoxue Lou, but no one found Mu Lan leaving.
She quickly changed her night clothes into ordinary clothes, and then rested on the soft collapse with her eyes closed for a while.
A night in Li Shiyu that toss and turn, spent a lot of energy, if she is not to conserve energy, the next thing to face, will only let Mu Lan burst of headache.
Mu Lan lay down to rest for less than a stick of incense, and then there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the lotus incense came: “Young lady, the prince is here, and the housekeeper Chen is waiting for you outside.”
He Xiang’s voice was a little flustered.
Li Shiyuan came to Mu Wangfu at this time, and anyone with a discerning eye knows why.
On the contrary, Mu Lan was not in a hurry. “Tell butler Chen I’ll come after I change my clothes,” he said faintly.
“Yes.” He Xiang answered.
Mu Lan was not in a hurry, but slowly changed his clothes, then changed the lotus fragrance, combed his hair, lightly made up, at least a cup of tea, Mu Lan leisurely left the house. Housekeeper
Chen has been waiting at the door.
This also means that Li Shiyuan also waited in the palace for a while, but during this period, no one urged Mu Lan. When butler
Chen saw Mulan, he immediately said, “Young lady, the prince has been waiting in the front hall for a long time.” “Where is the second young lady?” Asked
Mu Lan.
“Still at the ancestral temple.” Housekeeper Chen answered respectfully.
This made Mu Lan feel surprised. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the butler Chen. “Why, the prince has come, but the king of Yi County hasn’t brought anyone out of the ancestral temple?”
“It was said that the prince had stopped it, so naturally the eldest young master did not dare to do so.” Chen butler explained quietly.
When Li Shiyuan came, everyone thought that Mu Zhihua’s chickens and dogs had ascended to heaven, and that the second house, which was beaten by Mu Lan and could not backhand, could completely struggle out of the present mess and regain sovereignty.
As a result, Li Shiyuan’s reaction hit them hard in the face. Although
he arrived at Mu Wangfu, he did not open his mouth to let people release Mu Zhihua, but silently waited for Mu Lan in the front hall.
Even when Mu Zhantian was looking for someone, Li Shiyuan stopped him. Now
all the people can only stay put, and Mu Zhihua is still in the ancestral temple. When
Mu Lan heard the answer, he just lowered his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully.
Then she put aside all her emotions and said, “All right, let’s go to the front hall.”
“Yes.” Housekeeper Chen dared not hesitate.
Soon, Chen butler took Mu Lan toward the front hall, along the way the slaves saw Mu Lan, one after another please Ann, Mu Lan’s mood looks good, nodded to signal everyone to get up, but the pace at the foot did not stop.
When he entered the front hall and saw Li Shiyuan, Mu Lan did not have any emotional excitement, nor did he deliberately please him, just like every time he faced Li Shiyuan, he was lukewarm.
“Mu Lan pays his respects to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness.” Mu Lanfu has a good body, and even his voice is calm.
“Get up.” Li Shiyuan in Mu Lan came in the first time, the eyes have fallen on the body of Mu Lan, not a moment.
Mu Lan did not evade, but her eyes became very careful, careful is not exposed to the emotions, but to cover up all their emotions, leaving only a pair of clear and bright eyes, people can not see anything. The mistakes made
before, involving countless people, such a mistake, Mu Lan can not be repeated.
Li Shi-yuan walked toward Mu Lan. “I’ve heard that you haven’t been feeling well recently. You’ve been in the Snow Tower all the time and haven’t left.”
Mu Lan grunted, but she didn’t deny it. Then she looked at Li Shiyuan with a half-smile and said lightly, “Mu Lan hopes not to leave. Maybe she won’t be so two-sided and not a person now.” The irony of
this remark was clear to all present.
But Mu Lan just stopped at that point, and did not give Li Shiyuan a chance to continue to exchange pleasantries with him. Without changing his face, he said, “Your Royal Highness, what made you come to Prince Mu’s mansion today?”
Li Shiyuan did not open his mouth immediately, but just looked at Mu Lan like this.
Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes are raised, the surface looks calm, but more than a touch of secrecy, even Li Shiyuan does not doubt that if he says something wrong with Mu Lan, this person may not be able to tear himself on the spot, completely regardless of any emotions.
But before Mu Lan and Chen Zhirong’s enmity, Li Shiyuan is very clear.
Even if not clear, Mu Zhihua’s tears, Li Shiyuan can also touch the cause and effect of the matter.
It seems that at this moment, Li Shiyuan is thinking about how to open his mouth is the most appropriate thing.
And one side of Mu Zhantian appears to be particularly anxious, eyes constantly looking at Li Shiyuan.
It happened that Li Shiyuan did not seem to see Mu Zhantian’s eyes and stood with his hands on his back.
Mu Lan was not in a hurry and stood quietly. There is a strange atmosphere in the
front hall.
Some things, Mu Lan can take the initiative to puncture, some things, it is bound to wait until the other side to puncture, especially Li Shiyuan’s identity is there, no matter how much Mu Lan hates this person, in this case, silence is the best policy.
Plus Li Changtian’s reaction to himself, as well as Li Shiyu’s admonition and the message revealed when Mu Zhantian and himself clamored yesterday.
Mu Lan naturally would not work against Li Shiyuan at such a sensitive time.
Being able to bend and stretch is the way to survive.
And for Li Shiyuan, it is just right, far more unforgettable than getting carried away. Just
because Li Shiyuan appeared here today, he did not cross himself and took Mu Zhihua away directly, which was enough for Mu Lan to give Li Shiyuan some face.
The lobby was quiet for a long time.
Suddenly Qiu Xiang, who was beside Mu Zhihua, hurried in. Ignoring the people present, she knelt down directly in front of Li Shiyuan and said, Your Royal Highness, please save the second young lady. The second young lady has been locked up in the ancestral temple and hasn’t come out all night. Now the second young lady is weak and can’t stand this kind of trouble. Early this morning, the maidservant has heard the people in the ancestral temple say. The second young lady fainted.
The words were said in tears.
Every word is an accusation of Mu Lan’s crime.
Mu Lan still did not change color. When she looked at Qiu Xiang clinging to Li Shiyuan, she opened her mouth to Chen butler with a cold face: “Take Qiu Xiang down, and give her a heavy responsibility.”. Otherwise, the rules of the palace will become more and more shameful. Am I, the one in power, already a person who can go beyond my rank?
Chou-heung was stunned.
Chen answered quietly, “I’m going to do it.”
Soon, two burly bodyguards came in outside, and did not care about the presence of Li Shiyuan and Mu Zhantian, directly dragged Qiu Xiang down.
“Your Highness, your Highness, please save the maidservant. Every word of the maidservant is true. The second young lady is in a coma..” Qiu Xiang’s voice was very sad.
Mu Zhantian changed his face and said, “Mu Lan, you are too presumptuous.”
“Every country has its own laws, and every family has its own rules.” Mu Lan glanced contemptuously at Mu Zhantian and then looked at Li Shiyuan. “I don’t know if the prince thinks I’m right.”
Mu Lan still said neither salty nor light.
Li Shiyuan still did not open his mouth.
Chen’s housekeeper had already pulled Qiu Xiang down, and the palace was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard clearly.
The heavy responsibility is thirty big boards, and if you don’t die, you will lose half your life.
Mu Lan’s ruthless, let the people around the smart ban, today Li Shiyuan came to the palace, those who were originally the East Tower, want to take the opportunity to stir up trouble, the result in Mu Lan’s means, this is completely honest.
Because maybe the person who loses his life in the next second will be himself. The
slave is dead, and no one will pity the master of this deep house.
Li Shi-yu looks at Mu Lan and nods: “That makes sense.”
Mu Lan chuckled, and then looked at Li Shiyu, the eyes sank a few minutes, but there was no room to retreat, but the side of Mu Zhantian did not give Mu Lan opportunity to open his mouth, has been anxious to look at Li Shiyuan.
“Your Highness, I know that Hua’s body has always been thin, and I’m afraid something will happen to him if he makes such a fuss.” Mu Zhantian is also reminding Li Shiyuan.
Mu Zhantian did not understand Li Shiyuan’s idea.
When Li Shiyuan knew that Mu Zhihua was pregnant, he was not indifferent, and even felt that Mu Wangfu was in a hurry for the first time.
At that time, Mu Zhantian felt that Mu Lan could no longer be arrogant.
But now Li Shiyuan to Mu Lan’s attitude, actually let Mu Zhantian completely have no spectrum. As
Mu Zhantian’s voice fell, Li Shiyuan looked at him coldly. “I didn’t hear Mu Lan say that the state has its laws and the family has its rules.”. Since you have broken the rules and lost your decency, you should be punished. Otherwise, if this story gets out, outsiders should say that the king has interfered with the housekeeping of Prince Mu’s mansion.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and suddenly chuckled.
Mu Zhantian’s face changed again and again.
Can say this kind of words, but also let people dare not refute, in addition to Li Shiyuan, really can not find the second candidate.
And this, invisibly, is to tell Mu Zhantian, although Mu Zhihua is pregnant, but before things do not change, his idea of Mu Lan has not changed.
Mu Lan will still be the Crown Princess.
Mu Zhihua can never replace it.
And Mu Lan sees Li Shiyuan so open one’s mouth, nature also won’t entangle this topic again, see the truth that wants to close, Mu Lan is clear still.
At least today’s things are much better than she expected.
She smiled faintly and said, “Now that the prince has come to the mansion in person, how can I not give him face?” As she said this, she looked at butler Chen and said, “butler Chen, tell the ancestral temple to bring the people out.”
“Yes.” Chen butler answered.
After that, Chen butler calmly left.
Mu Lan’s voice did not stop: “But I’m still curious about what happened to this painting, so that the prince hurried out of the palace before dawn to take people away.”
This is to ask knowingly, to dig a hole for Li Shiyuan.
In Li Shiyuan’s attitude, Mu Lan guessed Li Shiyuan’s meaning, but Mu Lan wanted Li Shiyuan to say it himself.
“You..” On the contrary, when Mu Zhantian heard Li Shiyuan’s words, he changed his face in an instant. “Mu Lan, don’t bully people too much. You can talk nonsense in front of the prince.”
Mu Lan twisted her eyebrows and said innocently, “Last night my eldest brother hemmed and hawed. It seems that he knew. It’s better to explain the reason in front of the prince, so that my sister and I can know what I did wrong or what I did inappropriately.”. After all, rules are made by people and can be changed according to circumstances. Isn’t that the reason?
A leisurely attitude can really make people angry to death.
Especially in the case of knowingly asking, Mu Lan can also put on an innocent face.
“Lord Mu.” Li Shiyuan opened his mouth sullenly.
Also just a sentence, let Mu Zhantian suddenly banned the sound, but the eyebrows and eyes of Mu Zhihua’s worries are still there.
Mu Lan is not impatient to wait for Li Shiyuan’s reply, the eye light also did not move a minute from this person body. Everyone in the Li family, the royal family
of Dazhou, has a good skin.
Naturally, Li Shiyuan will not be surprised.
This face is what women flock to, not to mention Li Shiyuan’s identity is there, who can not be tempted. In his
last life, he almost regarded Li Shiyuan as a benefactor to redeem himself. And as a result, she did everything she could, but she was scared out of her wits.
This life, and then look at the same face, Mu Lan to press how much willpower, can do not angry, so expressionless, calm and calm.
Even when necessary, Li Shiyuan was hypocritical and perfunctory.
Mu Lan sneers, that kind of taunt, from the soles of the feet all the way to the forehead, silently devoured all her nerves.
“Mulan is still waiting for your Highness’s reply.” Mu Lan restrained his emotions and did not give Li Shiyuan any chance to dodge.
She counted the time in her mind.
It is estimated that Chen butler should bring people here.
And Chen housekeeper this period of tacit understanding, a look can know each other to do what, Chen housekeeper naturally will not be anxious to bring people into the front hall, but will let oneself ask these words.
Sure enough, Mu Lan saw the corner of Chen’s clothes.
And Mu Zhihua, in order to pretend to be weak, would not say a word at the moment, otherwise how could he play the pitiful role.
They just slowed down their steps to the front hall.
Li Shiyuan negative hand and stand, listening to Mu Lan’s second inquiry, in Mu Lan’s eyes, Li Shiyuan for a while unexpectedly some can not see Mu Lan’s idea. Is
Mu Lan asking himself for an answer?
Or for a promise?
Li Shiyuan will not naively think that Mu Lan knows nothing.
This is also the first time that Li Shiyuan was cornered by Mu Lan.
But Li Shiyuan knew better than anyone what the purpose of coming to Prince Mu’s mansion was. It is true that he likes
Mu Lan, and it is also true that he wants to make Mu Lan Crown Princess. Because of Mu Lan’s wisdom and wisdom, once used by himself, he is almost an immeasurable right-hand man.
But Mu Zhihua is gentle and obedient to Li Shiyuan. Although he has lost his initial affection for Mu Zhihua, Mu Zhihua has followed him for many years, and the relationship between Mu Hongyuan and Mu Zhantian is naturally impossible to ignore.
Besides, now Mu Zhihua is pregnant.
Qu Huachang’s painting of Mu Zhi was not bad, and with the death of Chen Zhirong, naturally there was a trace of pity. Not to
mention that Mu Zhihua’s belly is Li Shiyuan’s eldest son in the future.
How can we not attach importance to it.
More or less, Mu Zhihua’s pregnancy aroused Li Shiyuan’s pity and guilt for Mu Zhihua, which made Li Shiyuan come in a hurry early in the morning.
But in the face of Mu Lan, this reason is only a small part.
More reasons, as if in this matter, Li Shiyuan can borrow Mu Zhihua in front of Mu Lan to show loyalty, as if this can let Mu Lan sincerely convinced to follow their own. All
women care about is status and commitment.
Li Shiyuan has always been able to do this with ease. When he raised his eyes
again, Li Shiyuan’s voice had calmed down, and the two men’s eyes met in the air, and the man’s voice came in a low voice.
“Chih-hua is pregnant.” Li Shi-yuan came straight to the point: “The king wants to take her away even if it is reasonable.”
Mu Lan listened to Li Shiyuan’s words and raised her eyebrows: “So my younger sister is the child of the prince. If my eldest brother had said that earlier, Zhihua wouldn’t have been locked up in the ancestral temple yesterday.”. After all, this is a big deal.
But as he spoke, Mu Lan smiled and said, “The prince has asked someone to leave from Prince Mu’s mansion. Does Dad know?”
“Lord Mu should have got the news.” Li Shiyuan did not hide it.
If he leaves the palace, it means that the people in the East Palace will take care of this matter.
Since the people of the East Palace will be in charge, Mu Hongyuan will also be able to get the news, I am afraid now is also on the way back.
This matter, indeed, can be big or small.
It depends on what kind of decision Li Shiyuan makes.
And Qu Huachang has no way to change Li Shiyuan’s idea, for Mu Lan and Mu Zhihua two sisters, Qu Huachang is more inclined to Mu Zhihua, after all, is the person he saw from childhood, know the root, not Mu Lan this halfway out of Cheng Yaojin, completely uncontrollable. What the
East Palace wants is an obedient Crown Princess.
Not an uncontrollable Crown Princess.
Mu Lan nodded and looked at Li Shiyuan again, but his voice was a little more aggressive: “So the prince has brought Zhihua back to the palace, but he wants to make Zhihua his concubine?”
Imperial concubine, this word is very clever.
It can be a crown princess or a side princess.
This has not been able to say from Mu Lan’s mouth, but to Li Shiyuan personally, in front of Mu Zhihua and Mu Zhantian.
But Mu Lan is always calm, as if no matter what Li Shiyuan said, this answer is not enough to change Mu Lan’s idea.
She coped with all changes with no change. If you
live another life, you will not easily fall into the abyss. She has too much to do. How could a person like
Li Shiyuan not understand what Mu Lan meant? In front of all the people present, he could not have said it more clearly: “I want to establish Zhihua as a concubine, but it is only a side concubine of the king. There is only one crown princess of the king, and it is impossible to change.” Li Shiyuan said
this without hesitation. Looking at Mu Lan
again, his eyes became more and more deep.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows, this time did not follow Li Shiyuan’s words to continue to ask, but continued to wait for Li Shiyuan to speak clearly. Out of the corner of her
eye, she fell out of the vestibule.
She saw Mu Zhihua soften his heels.
This news is enough to make Mu Zhihua have no room to turn over. After all, Mu Zhihua always thought that he had this piece of meat in his stomach as a trump card and could make a beautiful turnaround.
Obviously, Li Shiyuan did not follow Mu Zhihua’s script.
Instead, he hit Mu Zhihua hard in the face.
It was Chen butler who supported him, but Chen butler did not open his mouth all the way.
Li Shiyuan was only quiet for a moment, and his words were particularly clear: “The king asked his father in public about his marriage. How could he play with it?”. All the people in Dazhou know who the king is going to make the crown princess. Do you not count in your heart?
As he spoke, Li Shiyuan walked in the direction of Mu Lan.
Until the man stood in front of Mulan.
Long fingers have pinched Mu Lan’s chin, half forced to let Mu Lan look at himself. Mu Lan’s eyes are clear to the bottom, not a trace of the magazine.
For Li Shiyuan’s words, I don’t know whether I listened or not.
Suddenly, Mu Lan chuckled. “Are you sure about the prince?”
“The king has never failed to get what he wants.” “No matter who it is, it is impossible to stop the king.”
Mu Lan understood.
This includes the present son of heaven.
Li Shiyuan is to give today’s son of heaven face, it is impossible to face to face to rob a woman, that is to make fun of his crown prince.
But this does not mean that Li Shiyuan has no way at all.
Li Shiyuan’s calmness does not mean that he has given up. Besides, Li Shiyuan has never been a person who will give up. If
Mu Lan did not guess wrong,
Li Shiyuan would have already started the layout, even earlier than himself.
Mu Lan sank, thinking of the day when she saw shopkeeper Wang in the private room of the teahouse, she handed the note to shopkeeper Wang, asking shopkeeper Wang to tell stories to the masters of the major teahouses at the first time, so that the contents of the note could be spread all over Kyoto in half a month.
This thing is going on quietly.
Although there is no clue yet.
But it has begun to spread among the people.
Big Zhou Guotai Min’an, if you want to protect peace and prosperity, the emperor for thousands of years, can not make Mu Lan this time of the woman for the imperial concubine.
The draft is ten days away.
And Li Changtian in the case of a long illness, the spirit of the strange God is convinced.
However, these folk storytellers in Dazhou can not be textual research, but more or less, people who listen to them will still be affected.
This is the purpose of Mu Lan, to thoroughly pick their own and Li Changtian clean, naturally it is impossible to enter the palace for the imperial concubine.
Mu Lan explained this matter, and shopkeeper Wang had already done it.
This is only two days of time, naturally it is impossible to walk so fast, even if the master said again vividly, it will take time to spread out.
As a result, early this morning, Mu Lan had already received the news of the book from the flying pigeon of shopkeeper Wang, and it seemed that someone had sent the news out a few days earlier.
But not in the way of storytelling, but in other ways.
But the effect is the same.
Even, the other side’s words, even more alarmist, that content is obviously a very strict arrangement, can not find the slightest loophole, as if to do a seamless thing.
On the contrary, the news sent out by Mu Lan is really like the versions of various unofficial histories circulated among the people.
Even shopkeeper Wang said that the news, which was earlier than theirs, came from several important temples in Kyoto and even in the country when it was constantly traced back to the source. When the royal family
of Dazhou offered sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, it would be carried out in these important temples.
Naturally, it is absolutely impossible not to believe the news that comes out here.
Even after the establishment of the emperor, such a major event as the establishment of the Crown Princess, the abbot of the temple will basically come to bless in person.
Mu Lan now in the hands of resources, naturally can not touch these places, Li Shiyu can, but Mu Lan with his toes want to know, Li Shiyu can not do this for himself. The relationship between the
two men has never been clear.
But as a man’s deep-rooted bad habits, no man will be happy to marry his woman to another man, even if the man is hated by himself.
So, such a thing, unless Li Shiyu’s brain is caught by the door, otherwise, this person will never do it.
Now there is such a situation, plus Li Shiyuan’s words, Mu Lan suddenly realized that before he started, Li Shiyuan had already started.
This answer, let Mu Lan hang in the heart of the heart down.
She could enter the palace, but it was absolutely impossible for her to become Li Changtian’s concubine.
It’s just that it’s impossible for her to delay until she finds a clue and then enter the East Palace, but there are gains and losses, and Mu Lan sinks and collects all her emotions.
“So, you understand?” Li Shiyuan looked down at Mu Lan.
His voice came, let Mu Lan from such thoughts back to God, looked up to Li Shiyuan, has not yet come to open his mouth, this person’s voice is so clear that all the people present can hear clearly.
“Mulan, honestly prepare to be the crown princess of this king.” Li Shiyuan’s words were the final word.
Mu Lan smiled, and his smile was unusually bright. “Aren’t you afraid that your Highness’s words will hurt Miss Yi’s heart?”
Li Shi-yuan did not speak, but Mu Lan looked behind Li Shi-yuan with a half-smile: “Miss Yi is here.”
Li Shiyuan looked thoughtfully at Mu Lan. “Did you do it on purpose?”
“Not really.” “It’s just that there are a lot of coincidences in the world.” With
that, Mu Lan stopped talking, and Mu Zhihua could not stand the stimulation. The soles of his feet were weak, and he looked at Li Shiyuan with tears in his eyes: “Your Highness, we have known each other since we were young, and our feelings for so many years are not worth a Mu Lan?”? I’m still pregnant with your Highness’s son. Can’t all this be done?
Mu Zhihua could not tell whether he was disappointed or desperate, and questioned Li Shiyuan.
Li Shiyuan’s eyebrows and eyes twisted, looking at the soft woman in front of him, his eyes slightly cold, and even he did not personally pick up Mu Zhihua, but looked sullenly at the side of the slaves. Miss
Yi is kneeling like this. Don’t you know how to help her up? If anything happens to Miss Yi, you’ll be waiting to see her. Li Shiyuan’s voice was heavy and frightening.
Mu Zhihua’s face changed again and again.
She shook her head in disbelief.
Mu Zhantian looked at Mu Zhihua and hinted at Mu Zhihua with his eyes.
Now, no matter what happens to Mu Zhihua, Li Shiyuan’s words have been spoken, and the outcome has been decided, and it is impossible to change. Mu Zhantian is very sober, for their present situation, no matter what, to first put Mu Zhihua into the palace, as long as into the East Palace, the child was born smoothly, everything is variable.
If they really let everything stop here, then they really draw the end.
When the slave on one side heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately stepped forward and half forcibly dragged Mu Zhihua up from the ground, and the whole person was almost on the shelf.
But it seems to be frightened.
After all, Mu Zhihua is pregnant.
But no matter how Mu Zhantian hinted, although Mu Zhihua did not speak, he still looked at Li Shiyuan with tears and shook his head at him.
Mu Lan did not speak, motioned to Chen butler to take the stool, let Mu Zhihua sit down, decent things, Mu Lan never do bad.
But this stool is Mu Lan’s request, Mu Zhihua would rather stand than sit.
Mu Lan said lightly, “Miss Yi, are you unwilling?”? Then I can’t force it. But also ask Miss Yi to remember the baby in her belly. After all, the prince came to the Mu Mansion early in the morning for Miss Yi’s sake, and he wanted to look at the Buddha’s face even if he didn’t look at the monk’s face, eh?
Seemingly plain words, but with a warning. It
also puts Mu Zhihua in a dilemma.
And Li Shi-yuan had already looked at Mu Chih-hua: Since I don’t want to sit down, I’ll go back to the East Palace first, and the slaves are already ready. Other matters will be discussed after the king and Lord Mu have reached an agreement and reported to his father and mother. The red lips of
Mu Chih’s painting moved slightly, and Li Shi-yuan’s voice once again said, “King of Yi County, see Miss Yi into the palace.”
“Yes.” Mu Zhantian did not dare to disobey.
Mu Zhihua in Mu Zhantian’s signal, did not open his mouth again, but looked at Mu Lan’s eyes but became particularly resentful, is never resentful.
Mu Lan has no doubt that if her eyes can kill people, she may not know how many times she has died in the fundus of Mu Zhihua.
But so what.
Mu Lan raised a provocative smile at the corners of his mouth.
She looked at Mu Zhihua and told her clearly that sending Mu Zhihua to the palace was just the beginning, not the end. How can
those blood feuds not be avenged. How could the child
she gave birth to in October die for no reason.
When Mu Zhihua was taken out by Mu Zhantian, Mu Hongyuan had hurried in from the outside, with a body of wind and frost. Even Wang Xueshuang, who had been ill in bed for a long time and had not left the ancestral temple for a long time, got the news and rushed to the front hall.
“Mulan has seen his father and grandmother.” Mu Lan was the first to come to his senses and paid his respects without changing his face.
Soon, Mu Lan stepped forward, personally holding Wang Xueshuang sat down on the side of the cushion, and put a pillow behind Wang Xueshuang to support Wang Xueshuang’s body.
Li Shiyuan stood, and Mu Hongyuan quickly paid his respects to Li Shiyuan. The
two men’s eyes looked at each other in the air.
It was Mu Hung-yuan who was the first to say, “I’m going to ask the prince for a moment.”
“Nature.” Li Shiyuan nodded his head.
Mu Hongyuan did not say anything, just stood, in the face of such chaos, it seems that there is no place to be dissatisfied, nor did he feel any insecurity.
Even Wang Xueshuang just frowned and could not tell whether he was shocked or disappointed by the situation.
Her eyes wandered over and over again from Mu Zhihua’s body, and finally she just sighed, shook her head, and did not open her mouth to say a word.
Mu Lan stood quietly. At this
time, it is not the time for Mu Lan to open her mouth. The answers she wants, the promises she wants, and the jokes she wants to see are at least enough for now.
Other things have a long way to go.
“Zhihua, when you get into the palace, keep your temper down and don’t make trouble for your father and sister any more.” Wang Xueshuang’s words are very laborious, but every word is particularly clear.
Mu Zhihua’s eyes were red, his white teeth were biting his lips, but he could not refute a word. With
that, Wang Hsueh-shuang stood up and looked at Li Shi-yuan. “Your Royal Highness, I’m not in good health, so I won’t be with you.”
“Take care, old lady.” Li Shiyuan’s tone is light and respectful.
Wang Xueshuang nodded, after Mu Lan’s side, Wang Xueshuang looked at Mu Lan, for a long time did not open a word, Mu Lan stood, motionless, did not dodge Wang Xueshuang’s eyes.
Finally, it was Wang Hsueh-shuang who said, “Lan’er, wait till you come to the ancestral temple to find me.”
“Good.” Mu Lan answered.
Wang Xueshuang nodded and slowly left the front hall with the help of Mammy Li.
Mu Zhantian also did not dare to let Mu Zhihua stay here, with Mu Zhihua quickly left Mu Wangfu, directly sent Mu Zhihua to the East Palace. The front hall, which
had been busy, suddenly quieted down.
Mu Hongyuan made a gesture of invitation, and Li Shiyuan followed Mu Hongyuan toward the study of the main building. Mu Lan waited for two people to leave, ordered the slave to tidy up the front hall, and then returned to the snow building. Just
as they were leaving the front hall, butler Chen came over and said in a low voice, “Young lady, it’s almost time for Qiu Xiang to go down with the thirty big boards. It looks like..”
Chen butler is asking Mu Lan for instructions.
Mulan smiled. “What do you think, steward Chen?” With
a simple sentence, Chen immediately nodded: “I’m going to deal with it, and I’ll deal with it cleanly.”
That’s a useless question.
Mu Lan thoroughly eradicated the people of the second room from Mu Wang Fu, even with Mu Zhihua for many years, Chen Zhirong personally selected Qiu Xiang did not let go.
Qiu Xiang and Chen Zhirong shared a bitter hatred of the enemy, and many of the shameful things in the palace were done by the Mammy who was close to Qiu Xiang and Chen Zhirong.
If Mu Lan wants to settle accounts, how can he miss Qiu Xiang.
In other words, Mu Lan never wanted Qiu Xiang to live in peace.
Keep, is nothing more than to let her live in fear, every day life is worse than death. Even if he died, he died little by little after suffering from extreme pain.
But Qiu Xiang, after all, is an insignificant little man, not worthy of Mu Lan to make a big fight.
Since the death of Chen Zhirong, Qiu Xiang has converged a lot, openly and secretly is not not good to Mu Lan, and such a person, Mu Lan will never stay. If
you can see the wind at the helm, you can betray yourself next time.
After all, no one can guarantee that he will never fall down from a high place. It’s lonely
at the top. Only those who stand can understand the taste above. The higher you stand, the more lonely you are, and the more credible people around you are gone.
And today, Mu Lan is just pushing the boat along, completely no patience for Qiu Xiang, a thorough understanding of this matter, that’s all.
She stood quietly.
Watching the guards in the mansion drag Qiuxiang out, she has no breath, the slaves around are quiet, the atmosphere dare not breathe, for fear that the next person to become Qiuxiang is himself.
Mu Lan looked for a while, and then walked toward the snow building with an expressionless face, the footsteps did not stop for a moment, the lotus fragrance followed step by step, the feeling of accelerated heartbeat is still there. There is no doubt that
Mu Wangfu is peacetime.
But it is filled with the faint breath of death, which makes people shudder.
……
When passing the main building, Mu Lan’s eyes looked at the position of the study, but Mu Lan could not see anything.
As for what Li Shiyuan and Mu Hongyuan are talking about, Mu Lan doesn’t care anymore.
Under such circumstances, what they talked about could only be the arrangement of Mu Zhihua. Mu Lan has a pretty good idea of the
result.
Mu Zhihua is pregnant before marriage, no matter how open the folkway of Dazhou is, even if it is placed in an ordinary family, but it is absolutely a shameless thing to put it in the palace.
Last night, even if only Mu Zhantian informed Li Shiyuan.
But Li Shiyuan hurried out of the palace.
In addition, Mu Zhi painted into the East Palace, and anyone with a discerning eye knew what had happened.
Therefore, there will be no marriage, not to mention the Crown Princess, Mu Zhihua can only be the side of the imperial concubine forever, unless the history has not changed, then
Mu Lan sank, eyes under the deep meaning.
Soon, she hurried forward, until she returned to the snow building, Mu Lan’s footsteps did not stop.
As a result, Mu Lan arrived at Luoxuelou, but saw Mu Zhanxiao, who had not seen him for many days, suddenly came back, with his hands behind him, as if he had waited for a while.
Mu Lan was quiet.
He Xiang saw this situation, did not say anything, immediately met two people into the snow building, and then carefully looked around the situation, closed the door tightly, waiting at the door, did not disturb two people.
Inside
, “Second Brother, long time no see.” Mu Lan said hello lightly.
Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan, and did not speak, eyebrows twisted. But in the eyes of Mu Zhanxiao, Mu Lan clearly saw the same disapproval as Rong Jiu.
It seems that for Li Shiyu to follow himself down the cliff, the people on the side of this person are not happy.
Obviously she did not want Li Shiyu to follow her, but now she has become a sinner through the ages.
But Mu Lan did not show his mind on his face, nor did he break the silence, patiently waiting for Mu Zhanxiao to go on.
After a while, Mu Zhanxiao then opened his mouth: “You let shopkeeper Wang spread those words, do you know, once there is a mistake, you will escape the fate of entering the palace as a concubine, but your head will fall. What is the most taboo for emperors since ancient times?”. Don’t you, a wise man like you, know? There is no need for Mu Zhanxiao to say more about the
rest. Shop
keeper Wang is naturally obedient. It’s not surprising that
Li Shiyu knows.
But this is a double-edged sword. There are many uncontrollable factors, Mu Lan’s approach is right, is not to become Li Changtian’s concubine, but it is also possible that Li Changtian, because of this message, will participate in the draft, this time the woman was killed.
At that time, Mu Lan even if nine lives, want to survive, I am afraid is also the exhaustion of the primordial spirit.
“The second brother is worrying too much. When Mu Lan did this, he naturally thought of all the ways to deal with it.” “I’m afraid Mu Lan doesn’t need to use these coping strategies,” he said lightly.
“What do you mean?” Mu Zhanxiao’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan smiled. As if remembering something,
Mu Zhanxiao went on to say, “I look down on you. Even in the temples of Dazhou, you can infiltrate unscrupulously.”
At this point, Mu Lan raised her eyebrows and said, “Second Brother, do you really think this is Mu Lan’s doing?”
Mu Zhanxiao is on the alert below.
This matter is Li Shiyu hurriedly let Mu Zhanxiao come back the most important purpose, to see clearly what tricks Mu Lan is playing in the end, there is a good way to deal with.
Understand to say, Li Shiyu has never thought of letting Mu Lan go.
In other words, as long as Mu Lan is not the Crown Princess, then Mu Lan’s life and death, Li Shiyu will firmly grasp in his hands. I
‘m afraid my second brother thinks highly of me. I don’t have the ability to cover up the sky with one hand to get to this temple. If I could, why would Mu Lan have to walk so hard? Mu Lan said lightly, “It was the prince who did this.”
Mu Zhanxiao was shocked.
Since the second elder brother could think of it, the prince could not think of it. If the prince is interested in me and dares to say these words, he will naturally protect me thoroughly, at least when I am useful. Mu Lan smiled faintly.
She’s not stupid. It is impossible for
a woman to shake Li Shiyuan’s idea.
Only this woman has what Li Shiyuan wants, and this thing is the key to Li Shiyuan finally getting the throne.
But even the memory of the previous life, his own powers, Li Shiyuan did not know at this time.
So Mu Lan failed to figure out the reason why Li Shiyuan was so persistent about himself. Is it
just because you can’t get it? It’s too risky.
But now, everyone can only be cautious and step by step.
But Mu Zhanxiao listens to Mu Lan’s words, for a long time has not been able to come to his senses, Mu Lan stands in the same place, smiles, only then continues to ask: “The second elder brother for this matter, specially comes to look for me?”
Mu Zhanxiao didn’t speak.
“Is that what Your Highness means?” Mu Lan asked again.
Mu Zhanxiao did not deny Mu Lan’s guess. But listening to Mu Lan’s words, Mu Zhanxiao still felt surprised, this matter, unexpectedly Li Shiyuan also earlier than Mu Lan did.
He is not clear, Li Shiyuan’s interest in Mu Lan in the end is where, in addition to Mu Lan’s skin, and Mu Zhihua compared, Mu Lan is not a good control of the people.
Li Shiyuan keeps such a person around, just like a bomb from time to time.
Besides, the relationship between Mu Lan and Li Shiyu.
Silence, finally Mu Zhanxiao did not speak.
“It’s not all about that.” Mu Zhan answered, Ten days later is the talent show, but according to the rules of the big week, Xiu Nu will arrive in the palace three days before the talent show, and learn almost all the rules that should be learned. So your time in the palace is no more than seven days.
Mu Lan snorted to show that he knew. You don’t need to worry about things outside the
palace. Inside the palace, the housekeeper Chen is for your use. There is no possibility of turning over the second room and the first door. Grandmother is on your side. There is no way to turn over here. As for the affairs of the shops, if the shopkeeper Wang handles things neatly and shrewdly, he will be at peace.
Mu Zhanxiao said everything carefully.
Mu Lan nodded and did not deny the meaning of Mu Zhan Xiao’s words.
After that, Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan and said slowly, “Your Highness, let me tell you a word. After entering the palace, no one can be trusted except Grandfather Cheng, who is in charge.”. If there is something wrong, you can go to Grandfather Cheng at the first time, and he will handle it properly.
Mu Zhanxiao conveyed Li Shiyu’s words to Mu Lan intact.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows, thinking that after he entered the palace, Li Shiyu would get rid of the relationship with himself. As a result, this man also paved the way for himself, which was somewhat beyond Mu Lan’s expectation.
She smiled faintly and said, “Please ask the second elder brother to tell the fourth royal Highness. Mu Lan has written down the kindness of the fourth royal Highness.”. And ask Your Highness to remember your promise to Mulan.
May one day, she can wait for Li Shiyu in the palace.
Mu Zhanxiao eyebrows a twist, and did not ask, nodded.
“Luoxuelou is not a place to stay for a long time. If you have nothing to do, you can leave first.” Mu Lan gave the order to leave, and she looked at Mu Zhanxiao quietly.
Mu Zhanxiao also did not stay, turned around and quickly left the snow building.
Just as no one had ever known when Mu Zhanxiao came, he quietly left the backyard of the palace and returned to the palace.
……
An hour later, Mu Hongyuan personally sent Li Shiyuan out of the study.
Li Shiyuan also can’t stay in Mu Wang Fu, Mu Zhi painting, Li Shiyuan has to rush back to the palace to deal with.
Mu Lan naturally can not turn a blind eye, as Mu Hongyuan sent Li Shiyuan to the door of the palace, Mu Hongyuan did not say anything, at the door, it is very interesting to find a reason to leave first. At the gate of the
palace, only Mu Lan and Li Shiyuan were left. Before
Li Shiyuan got on the horse, he looked down at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan did not dodge.
“Mulan, if you have the courage to ask the king to give you a promise in public, then you can wait to be the crown princess of the king, and the king will promise you ten miles of red makeup.” Li Shiyuan pinched Mu Lan’s mandible and tightened his palm slightly.
Every word, every sentence, Li Shiyuan said directly.
Mu Lan was pinched by Li Shiyuan, but she only slightly twisted her eyebrows and did not open her mouth. Of course,
she would not naively think that Li Shiyuan would not be able to see the trap she had set today. Let Li Shiyuan promise the crown princess in public, but also tell Li Shiyuan, she Mu Lan soft.
“Mulan knows.” At the moment, Mu Lan seems to be very clever.
Li Shiyuan’s handsome face lowered a few minutes, the breath between the two became clearly visible, Mu Lan did not speak, nor did he dodge.
Li Shiyuan looked, Mu Lan heart such as water, to this face of peach blossom, completely do not have any waves.
And Mu Lan’s clever and sensible, but let Li Shiyuan chuckle, did not give Mu Lan any chance to react, suddenly thin lips on Mu Lan’s lips.
Mu Lan’s reaction is very quick, but great willpower and reason, let Mu Lan endure the impulse to kill, stiff, let Li Shiyuan kiss himself. How could
Li Shiyuan not feel Mu Lan’s unwillingness.
He just touched it, and Li Shiyuan had already loosened Mu Lan.
Mu Lan’s nerves did not relax.
And Li Shiyuan’s hand once again pinched Mu Lan’s chin, and his voice was a little cold: “Mu Lan, who is in your heart? I don’t care, but I will make you willing to take off your thorns for me one day.”
Mu Lan did not answer.
It was a silent contest.
Until the side of the bodyguard hurried forward, whispered and Li Shiyuan said something, Li Shiyuan then loosened Mu Lan’s hand, quickly jumped on the horse, galloped away. It was not
until Li Shiyuan’s figure disappeared that Mu Lan was really relieved.
The next road, step by step hard, not careful, is the abyss.
Mu Lan closed his eyes slightly, and then walked toward the ancestral temple to see Wang Xueshuang.
She naturally understood in her heart why Wang Xueshuang was looking for herself, and what she asked was just the process of Mu Zhihua’s painting, and Mu Lan did not intend to hide it.
Mu Zhihua made such a thing, for Wang Xueshuang, it is undoubtedly worse.
After all, I saw the big granddaughter, the feelings are naturally different, but step by step let her down, Wang Xueshuang can not accept. When the
breeze blows, Mu Lan’s skirt dances with the wind. The pace under
her feet gradually quickened. In the
next few days
, Mu Lan rarely left the palace, almost stayed in the mansion, and spent most of his time accompanying Wang Xueshuang. Wang Xueshuang was weak and seldom spoke, but he never forgot to chant sutras every day.
Mu Lan quietly accompanied.
Occasionally Wang Xueshuang will open his mouth and talk to Mu Lan, Mu Lan will listen quietly, and then seriously answer. Even three meals a day, Mu Lan is accompanied by Wang Xueshuang in the ancestral temple.
It was not until night, when Wang Xueshuang was resting, that Mu Lan got up and left. Every time Mam
my Li would personally see Mu Lan off to the entrance of the ancestral temple. She looked at Mu Lan with gratitude in her eyes and said, “Young lady, these days, thanks to you, you’ve come to accompany the old lady.”. When you enter the palace, there will be no one in the house who can accompany the old lady to say intimate words. The
Third Lady is still in the mansion. The third lady is also a filial person. The old lady will not be lonely. Mu Lan spoke lightly, as if to appease Mammy Li. “If anything really happens, Mammy Li can go to housekeeper Chen, who will find a way to inform me.” Mam
my Li nodded.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Mu Lan is in the palace, where does the matter of the palace dare to distract Mu Lan. Mammy Li knew all too well where the
palace was.
She looked at Mu Lan very seriously. She took an amulet from her waist and handed it to Mu Lan. “Young lady, this is the amulet that the slave asked for when he accompanied the old lady to the temple. Take it with you.”. I’m sure I can keep you safe.
Mu Lan thanked him and took it over. In
this palace, the slave can’t help the young lady. And ask the eldest lady to take care of herself. As Mammy Li explained in detail, her eyes reddened slightly, “The slave is waiting for the young lady in the mansion.”
“Good.” Mu Lan answered.
Li Mammy nods, this just did not say what again, after Mu Lan nods a signal, turn round to leave.
Li Mammy stood in place, watching Mu Lan’s figure disappear, her eyes slightly red, and then turned into the ancestral temple.
And the night has gradually sunk down.
This night’s Mu Wang Fu is too quiet.
But it’s like no one’s asleep.
Because the second day was the day when Mu Lan entered the palace.
The next day, just after daybreak, the people in the palace had already come.
In the big week, can let the people in the palace to pick up in person, in fact, we all have some number in mind, these are the most likely to become their master in the future, whether it is the emperor’s concubine, or refers to the marriage to other princes, county king.
So naturally, the eunuch who went to Mu Wangfu to pick up Mu Lan also appeared to be much warmer.
Chen, the housekeeper, accompanied him. “Please wait a moment, Grandfather Li. The eldest lady will be ready soon.”
“It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. It’s better for this girl to slow down.” Grandfather Li laughed. “Besides, it’s our family that came early.”. But if you come early, it also means that the people in the palace take it seriously.
Li Gonggong is talkative, but he chatted with Chen butler.
Before the Hungry Ghost Festival, Mu Lan entered the palace, deeply liked by the empress Dowager, and even Aunt Mei Ji, who had always treated people equally, especially liked Mu Lan, which meant that Mu Lan’s chances of winning were too great.
Not to mention, Aunt Meiji was supposed to leave the palace after the Hungry Ghost Festival, but because the emperor was seriously ill, the old queen mother could not stand it, the people on the side could not serve, Aunt Meiji stayed again.
This is tantamount to saying that Aunt Mei Ji is in the palace, and Mu Lan has one more backer, and smart people all know how to treat Mu Lan. People like Grand
father Li are even more so. They talk nonsense when they see people.
But Mu Lan did not let Li father-in-law wait too long, after Chen butler notice, Mu Lan quickly let the lotus incense packed up their own, only brought a few sets of clothes into the palace, is not what beautiful clothes, but is the usual time to wear beautiful clothes.
Mu Lan knew too well that most of the girls who could enter the palace today were the daughters of the dignitaries in the capital.
Even many people’s clothes are ordered in the embroidery room, and they all want to win the first prize at one stroke.
But they obviously do not know, in the present situation, the more ostentatious, the more tragic, not to mention, many of these people, or Mu Zhihua’s good sisters, hate themselves deeply.
In this way, entering the palace draft will not be auspicious, but dangerous.
After all, the last life is the same.
At that time, Mu Lan suffered a lot of losses in the draft. No matter in the hands of any steward, he had a very bad impression. Naturally, the emperor could not remake it. On the contrary, Li Shiyuan suddenly came. The final result was beyond everyone’s expectation.
The most unlikely Mu Lan, really did not become the emperor’s concubine, but became the present Crown Princess.
Ha ha, what a sarcastic scene.
As a result, such a scene will be repeated, but the historical trajectory of the repetition is not quite the same as that of the previous life.
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and buried these memories deep in his mind in the bottom of his heart, without revealing anything to anyone.
And Hexiang had already dressed up for Mu Lan. Looking at the gorgeous face in the bronze mirror, Hexiang said with a flat mouth, “Young lady, you’re obviously very good-looking. Why don’t you let the maidservant make up for you? It’s too plain. Even the clothes are plain to death.”. The daughters who entered the palace today were all heavily made-up and competing with each other. You’re too uncompetitive.
Mu Lan sips her lipstick and looks at her with a smile. “Do you know what competitiveness is?” Shouldn’t you
be good-looking? If you can’t even get your eyes in, it’s no use being clever. What he Xiang said is true.
Mu Lan nodded, “That’s right.”. But your lady, I don’t need these.
“All right.” He Xiang answered helplessly.
Mu Lan said no, that is no, there is no room for manoeuvre.
What’s more, for such a long time, Mu Lan really let himself fall behind, as if everything was under his control and never deviated. Seeing that Hexiang had no choice,
Mu Lan stood up and touched Hexiang’s forehead. “All right, I’m not in the mansion. Be careful and don’t get into trouble.”. Although the house is safe now, but Mu Zhantian is still there, Mu Zhihua has arrived in the palace, maybe I left, they will also find the people next to me. If you have any problems, you can go to Chen or the old lady. Do you understand?
Mu Lan carefully explained that he was afraid that the recklessness of the lotus fragrance would harm him.
This wench is sincere to a person, will pay all their feelings.
Therefore, want to provoke this girl, do not need to waste too much effort, want to find a way to put him to death, is not difficult.
“When I’m not here, stay in the Snow Tower and don’t wander around. At least even if Mu Zhantian really makes trouble, he won’t dare to come to the Snow Tower to make trouble.” Mu Lan’s tone became serious.
He Xiang’s lips moved, trying to say something, but finally he answered honestly, “The maidservant knows.”
Mu Lan nodded.
Then she did not stop, toward the front hall, let the people in the palace wait for a long time, is not a good thing. He Xiang immediately followed him step by step. As
she neared the front hall, she couldn’t help saying, “Young lady, if you stay in the palace, you must remember to bring the maidservant in.”
Mu Lan’s footsteps stopped, some of the lotus fragrance was frightened, inexplicably looking at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan looked at the Lotus Fragrance for a moment and said, “Do you have to go to the palace with me?”
“Yes.” He Xiang answered without thinking, “The maidservant has never thought of getting married, nor has she thought of leaving the eldest lady.”. No matter where the eldest lady is, the maidservant will follow her.
This, the lotus fragrance said without a trace of hesitation.
“The palace is full of thorns, and I don’t know what will happen in the future. If you follow me, aren’t you afraid that one day your head will be settled?” Mu Lan asked again.
Hexiang shook her head and said, Hexiang has been an orphan girl since she was a child. She has no one to depend on. She follows the eldest daughter. Even if her head falls to the ground, the maidservant is willing. What’s more, in this palace, the eldest lady has no one around her, and the maidservant will not feel at ease if she is alone in the palace.
She seriously said these words to Mu Lan word by word.
For a moment, Mu Lan laughed. “Well, if I go to the palace, I’ll let you come in.”
“The maidservant has thanked the eldest lady.” He Xiang’s face was full of joy, and he followed Mu Lan toward the front hall with a smile.
Mu Lan did not speak, but when the corner of her eye swept the lotus fragrance, her lips smiled faintly.
How could she let this silly girl repeat the same mistakes in her life. It won
‘t.
She will protect the people she wants to protect. The hand
hidden in the wide sleeve clenched its fist, and then Mu Lan’s footsteps followed quickly, and soon arrived in the front hall. When butler
Chen saw Mu Lan, he said, “The slave has seen the eldest lady.” Then he turned around and said, “This is Grandfather Li, who has come from the palace to take you to the palace.”
Mu Lan nodded to Chen’s housekeeper and smiled as he looked at Grandfather Li again. “I’ve seen Grandfather Li,” he said. “Grandfather has worked hard all the way. This is a token of my appreciation, not a sign of respect.
With these words, Mu Lan took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it over. Grandfather
Li pushed and shoved. “How can you be ashamed?”
“It should be.” Mu Lan also laughed.
After that, Grandfather Li accepted it, and then looked at the number on the silver ticket, Grandfather Li’s eyes lit up. You know, a man of his status can get a reward, but he can’t get such a big reward.
“Miss Mu, our family has come specially to take you to the palace. The carriage is ready outside. You go with our family.”
With these words, Grandfather Li took the initiative to support Mu Lan.
Mu Lan did not refuse, nodded at Chen butler, she did not need to explain Chen butler what, Chen butler naturally knew what she wanted.
So Mu Lan has nothing to worry about.
Soon, Mu Lan got into the carriage with the help of Grandfather Li. After nodding her head, she put down the curtain and the carriage walked slowly towards the palace.
At this moment in Kyoto, the morning sun has just risen, and the sky is completely bright. On
the flagstone floor, there was the sound of the horse’s hooves and the sound of the wheels turning.
It was not until at the gate of the palace that the carriage slowly stopped. Grandfather
Li had already taken the mat to make it easy for Mulan to get off the bus. When Mulan got off the bus, Grandfather Li personally supported Mulan and said in a low voice, “Miss Mu, our family can only take you to Palace of Gathered Elegance. Palace of Gathered Elegance is about a cup of tea away from here.”. On the way, our family will tell you something to pay attention to, and we won’t be able to help you with the next thing, so we’ll ask Miss Mu to take care of herself.
Mu Lan nodded. “I know. There’s Lao Li.”
“If there is any use in the palace in the future, we will certainly do our best to go to our place.” Grandfather Li, on the other hand, had a soft mouth and a short hand, and his attitude was clear.
Mu Lan hum, said a few nice words, and quietly walked on the side of Grandfather Li. Mulan is no stranger to the road
to Palace of Gathered Elegance.
She walked all the way, hearing the shrill voice of Grandfather Li, and these, in the last life, no one has ever reminded themselves, so Mulan in Palace of Gathered Elegance, will continue to have all kinds of things.
Finally, Li Shiyuan took a fancy to it and brought it into the East Palace. Even many people said that Mu Lan had stepped on shit luck and would fall from the altar sooner or later, especially the good sisters of Mu Zhihua.
At that time, not to mention the sincerity, the only person who was good to himself on the surface was Mu Zhihua.
So Mu Lan will believe Mu Zhihua, and ultimately pay the price of blood. Miss
Mu, all these girls will be waiting in the Palace of Gathered Elegance. If you come a week in advance like this, you will be looked after. The nuns will also teach you a lot about the rules of the palace, and on the day of the talent show, most of them will be chosen by the bird screen. Grandfather
Li’s voice was shrill and high-pitched: “Many of the beautiful girls in this palace are the daughters of dignitaries.”. When you don’t know each other’s family background, it’s better to keep a low profile. Those who are too high-profile are likely to lose the election in the end. After all, there is no shortage of these high-profile people in the palace.
「……」
“All we know is the daughter of the prime minister’s mansion, the daughter of the great general Yipin, the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Rites..” Grandfather Li made a detailed list of people.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows. Most of
these are friends with Mu Zhihua.
Because of Mu Zhihua’s previous relationship with the prince, many daughters took the initiative to get close to Mu Zhihua, and after a long time, they really became sisters, but this sister flower, a bit sincere, a bit false, only each other’s hearts are clear.
“They are all well-matched opponents.” What Grandfather Li said is implicit.
Mu Lan smiled, understood the meaning of Li Gonggong’s words, but also did not expose, quietly listening, until Li Gonggong finished, Mu Lan did not open his mouth.
Suddenly, as the Palace of Gathered Elegance approached, Li seemed to think of something, and his voice, which had originally been shrill, dropped a lot: “Miss Mu, Miss Yi is in the East Palace to raise the fetus, but we heard from the slaves over there that besides taking Miss Yi into the palace personally, the prince seems to be particularly fond of her, and I heard that there is no wedding ceremony.” Even the conferring of titles had to wait until after the crown prince had appointed his concubine.
This is said to Mu Lan.
These eunuchs in the palace are all human spirits, where would not know the incompatibility between Mu Lan and Mu Zhihua, after all, the death of Chen Zhirong, the palace is also legendary.
Even when Mu Zhihua fell out of favor, everyone thought it was because of Mu Lan’s ascension.
Naturally, Grandfather Li said this in order to please Mu Lan.
Mulan raised her eyebrows, as if casually saying, “Your Highness, the prince, has come to meet you in person. Are you still not spoiled?”
No, after all, there are still some things that can’t be seen in the palace. So, naturally, Miss Yi has nothing left. Grandfather Li continued in a low voice.
Mu Lan smiled and did not continue to ask.
The two men were already standing at the door of the Palace of Gathered Elegance, and Grandfather Li coughed lightly, straightened his back, and the sharp voice came again, and they had resumed their previous business. Miss
Mu, we sent you to the Palace of Gathered Elegance. The nuns are waiting for Miss Mu in the palace, so we won’t go in. Grandfather Li said in a methodical way.
Mu Lan answered politely, “Thank you, Grandfather Li.”
Then, she nodded and walked calmly towards the Palace of Gathered Elegance. When Mulan went in
Palace of Gathered Elegance
, he saw an elderly Mammy directing the slaves to do things and tidy up everything in the Palace of Gathered Elegance. The
Palace of Gathered Elegance was clean and everything was in order.
Obviously Mu Lan is not the first to arrive, there are already several daughters arrived, standing aside, not too dare to speak.
Mu Lan took a casual look, these are some of the names, but compared with the daughter mentioned by Li Gonggong and far worse, these come in, is nothing more than level of talent, can be on a concubine is great.
Not to mention being accused of marrying a prince.
Unless it’s a blessing from heaven.
Until Mu Lan’s eyes remained on the last one, a clear and beautiful girl, Mu Lan recognized that this was Xu Luochen, the daughter of Yin Xu Minsheng of Yinzhou Prefecture.
Finally, she entered the palace and became a female official.
Later, Mu Lan had no memory.
But Xu Luochen is one of the daughters, sincere to Mu Lan, she has no sense of existence, so the daughters of Xu Luochen is not too mean, Xu Luochen can always be careful to remind Mu Lan to pay attention to what.
But the last life of Mu Lan obviously forgot to bring the brain, even if reminded, or repeatedly killed.
Xu Luochen also noticed that someone looked at her, she looked up at Mu Lan, slightly nodded, Mu Lan smiled at Xu Luochen, a very sincere smile.
Then she withdrew her sight without any trace. Mammy Yin, who was in charge of the
Palace of Gathered Elegance, obviously knew that she had noticed Mulan coming, and she stood looking at Mulan in the same place. Those who
enter the Palace of Gathered Elegance are all show girls, in a sense, regardless of the previous background, they are all treated equally here, and they must obey the orders of the steward Mammy.
That is to say, the steward is one step above them.
Therefore, Yin Mammy does not need to meet Mu Lan in person, but wait for Mu Lan to come. How could
Mu Lan not know this truth? She walked gracefully toward Mammy Yin, blessed her body, but cleverly said, “Mu Lan has seen Aunt Yin.” Mam
my Yin looked up and down at Mu Lan, and she had heard about Mu Lan’s reputation outside. See
today, really is a generous person, people feel comfortable, will not find too gorgeous color, light and elegant, even the makeup on the face is clean.
On the contrary, it is easier to remember.
Mu Lan is a wise man.
“Miss Mu, don’t be so polite.” Mammy Yin is calm.
Mu Lan smiled and did not take the initiative to open his mouth, but quietly waited for Mammy Yin’s arrangement. Before
Mu Lan came, Mammy Yin had already received an order from the East Palace to treat Mu Lan kindly. Palace of Gathered Elegance, although everyone is equal, it is not absolute in such equality, and it is divided into three or six or nine grades.
Even the place to live here is divided.
Mu Lan, of course, is living in the upper room, a room will only have a few people, relatively spacious, much larger space.
The other part, is to live in the shop inside, crowded people, not to mention the queue to take a bath such things, to wait for a long time. Without saying anything, Mam
my Yin took Mu Lan to the place where she lived. “This is where Miss Mu will live in the coming week.”. There are still a few young ladies in the same room, but they haven’t come yet. When they come, the maidservant will introduce you.
A spacious and bright room, facing the south, the sun can fall in, although it is also a bed, but the middle is separated by a curtain, it is a bit of privacy, not naked in front of everyone.
Such a room will not be damp and cold. I don’t know how much better
it is compared with the treatment in previous lives.
In the previous life, Mu Lan lived in a place worse than Xu Luochen, which was the worst position in the Palace of Gathered Elegance.
But in this room, who was in the last life, Mu Lan remembered clearly.
“Thank you, Mammy Yin. Mulan knows.” Mu Lan answered politely.
“After I put down my luggage, I went to the front hall to look for the maidservant. There were some rules that the maidservant had to say in front of me.” Mammy Yin opened her mouth lightly.
“Yes.” Mu Lan nodded. Mam
my Yin turned and went out. After
Mu Lan sent Mammy Yin away, he packed his luggage.
She was thinking about Mammy Yin in her last life. Mammy Yin had been in the palace for many years and was already an aunt. She had a sense of propriety in handling many things. Especially in such an uncertain situation, Mammy Yin knew better than anyone that anyone here had a chance to stand out.
No one knows what his fate will be after the draft.
Therefore, Yin Mammy will not offend anyone at such a time now, it is still fair to do things, but the following slaves are not necessarily.
These minions have already stood in line at the first time. After the
natural draft, these minions are also the fastest to die.
Mu Lan is not worried about Mammy Yin.
She sank, packed up her things, and did not rest in the house, but quickly went out to the front hall to meet Mammy Yin. When Mam
my Yin saw Mu Lan, she was surprised, but she didn’t expect Mu Lan to be so fast.
She nodded at Mu Lan, Mu Lan politely and a group of show girls stood together, show girls see Mu Lan is a little stiff, after all, status is not as good as others.
Mu Lan smiled at them, but the smile was very kind.
Then, Mu Lan stood beside Xu Luochen.
Xu Luochen looked at Mu Lan in a friendly way and smiled softly. Mam
my Yin had already begun to say what she should pay attention to, and her voice was cold and hard without a trace of emotion, and it seemed that she
was particularly unapproachable.
Everyone is listening, the atmosphere dare not breathe, during this period, many show girls have come one after another. The Palace of Gathered Elegance, which
had been quiet, became lively.
The front hall gradually became more and more crowded. These people who came
later, when Mu Lan saw them, smiled a little less than fundus, and appeared to be much more indifferent. Most of these are the old rivals of the previous life.
But they never thought that they would see each other again in such a way.
Ha ha
, Mu Lan stood lightly, the indifference in his eyes was obvious, but more was not surprised.
After all, compared with the status, Mu Lan does not lose to anyone here, why should he grovel to others, and why should he form cliques with others.
She doesn’t need Mulan.
“Come on, it’s a noisy mess. Do you think it’s a flower outing?” Mammy Yin suddenly opened her mouth and her voice became stern. The daughters who
had just arrived were startled and wanted to get angry. Remembering their father’s confession, when they saw Mammy Yin dressed up again, they came down honestly and reluctantly paid their respects. Mam
my Yin hum, also did not say much. All the girls who
should have come in advance had already come, and Mammy Yin naturally began to tell these girls about the rules of the palace according to the orders above.
After all, they are the daughters of some big families, and a lot of rules are easy to follow.
But just practice back and forth, let these delicate daughters can not stand, in their house, where someone dares to let them walk back and forth like this.
And Yin Mammy is a very strict person, if the action is not in place, Yin Mammy will not let anyone go, will repeatedly let you continue to meet the standards of the palace.
After all, all the people in the palace have come this way, and no one is an exception.
Whether it is a palace maid or a concubine married into the palace, the same is true.
Many people complained delicately in places where Mammy Yin could not see, but it was Mulan who walked quietly according to Mammy Yin’s request.
These, in the last life, she did not know how much she had walked, every movement, the position of raising her hand, straightening her spine, walking without a sound, smiling without showing her teeth. They
are all memories rooted in Mu Lan’s bones and blood.
Once they make mistakes, they will face the most severe scolding and punishment.
This life of Mu Lan, naturally extraordinary, calm appearance, so that the people present can not help but look at a few more eyes, eyes are more admiration.
Even Mammy Yin was impressed.
Although the Hungry Ghost Festival, Mu Lan’s performance is remarkable, but so many details in the palace, Mu Lan almost said once all remember, this is not what ordinary people can do, as if Mu Lan has always been living in this palace.
Because of Mu Lan’s outstanding, Yin Mammy naturally did not torture Mu Lan again, Mu Lan walked once can wait quietly in the side. On the contrary, Yin Mammy also let Mu Lan help, by the way to guide those relatively weak girls, Mu Lan did not refuse.
But the daughters who were present could not help but snort when they saw such a picture. “Look at the way Mu Lan pretended. Chih-hua told me long ago that her sister liked to pretend, and she even used tricks to kill Chih-hua’s birth mother.”
“Yes, I don’t know what has bewitched the crown prince to make her his concubine, but I know that the painting has no status now!”
“Why are you so anxious? It’s not the end yet. Who knows who?”
……
A few people together again muttered, and then looked at Mu Lan’s eyes, some malicious, Mu Lan and they live in a house, they are a group, Mu Lan is that isolated, want to make something, too easy.
And they can guarantee that Mulan doesn’t even have room to talk.
Naturally, they are also standing on the side of Mu Zhihua, although the news of Mu Zhihua entering the palace has not been spread, but more or less everyone is clear, if not for the mother and son, the prince will not personally pick up the prince’s palace early in the morning.
In addition to the good friendship, as well as Mu Zhihua’s account, and in the Hungry Ghost Festival, Mu Lan stole everyone’s limelight, naturally, this account should be counted on Mu Lan’s head.
These malicious eyes, Mu Lan naturally felt, but her face was expressionless, and did not care. When Mam
my Yin saw the girls murmuring in private, she said in a harsh voice, “Why don’t you go to practice? You are all favored by the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and you have come to the palace with the hopes of the family.”. Are you going to disappoint your family?
In a word, the people gathered together are scattered. In
Palace of Gathered Elegance, except for the sound of walking back and forth, there is only the sound of breathing, and the atmosphere dare not breathe.
Only Mu Lan, like those who had nothing to do, whispered, “This hand is too high.”. When you pay your respects, you can do it at the waist. Don’t stick your fingers up when carrying the dish.
Xu Luochen hurriedly corrected him, but said seriously, “I know.”
Mu Lan smiled and nodded, and looked at a few show girls, found that everyone did well, she nodded with satisfaction, directly started to correct the movements of several people.
Apart from those tit-for-tat people, in fact, most people are friendly to Mulan. It is better to worship than
to be friendly.
They were nervous to death, but only Mu Lan did not panic at all.
Finally, Mammy Yin asked everyone to take a rest: “All right, you take a rest for a while. After a while, the slaves will tell you to have a meal. After the meal, the maidservants will call the roll on time. I hope you young ladies won’t be late.”
“Yes.” All the daughters of the family answered together.
It was not until Mammy Yin left that the girls present really breathed a sigh of relief and could not help whispering in private about Mammy Yin’s sternness, but no one really dared to say it on the table.
Xu Luochen grabbed the corner of Mu Lan’s clothes very lightly.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and took a look. “Sister Mu, you are really awesome,” said
a soft but particularly pleasant voice. You know everything. Mammy Yin taught you so much that you can remember everything. Mammy Yin is also very satisfied with you.
“Practice more and you’ll soon get it.” Mu Lan smiled and soothed Xu Luochen.
She’s probably in a really old mood.
Plus wearing simple but elegant clothes all the year round, even the bun looks serious, compared with these bright little girls, even if Mu Lan is young, he looks much older.
However, Mu Lan did not correct Xu Luochen’s name.
This body is the reborn self, and the actual age of her life is indeed much older than other side. It is not too much to be called sister by
Xu Luochen.
But Mu Lan and Xu Luochen talked, and Xu Luochen’s eyes smiled like a crescent moon and curved up: “Sister Mu, you are so gentle.” As
he spoke, Xu Luochen lowered his voice: “Compared with those proud daughters, you are too easy to get along with. Obviously, you are also the daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion, and your status is no worse than theirs.”
Mu Lan quieted down and then looked at Xu Luochen. “You can’t say these words in the palace.”. Most of the time, keeping silent is the best policy, especially if you can’t tell the truth about your opponent. What’s more, all the people in this palace can turn over and become masters, and no one can laugh at anyone. As soon
as Mu Lan said this, Xu Luochen stuck out his tongue: “I know. Thank you, Sister Mu, for reminding me.”
Mu Lan nodded his head.
Soon, the slaves of the Palace of Gathered Elegance also arrived outside the hall, informing them that they could go to dinner, and then they filed out, and the daughters of all of them, who were used to being cocky, naturally walked in the front.
Only Mu Lan did not hurry to go, quietly followed in the end.
She is too clear, people in the front, you can never see what the people behind are doing, people only walk behind, can keep their brains awake.
What’s more, shooting the first bird, in the palace, too high-profile is not a good thing.
“Sister Mu, they’re up to no good. Be careful.” Xu Luochen couldn’t help reminding him again.
Mu Lan looked over, Xu Luochen stuck out his tongue, as if he had found himself saying the wrong thing again, and quietly lowered his head and said nothing.
But Mulan laughed out loud: “I know.”
Xu Luochen sees Mu Lan reply, is a face of surprise, then carefully follow Mu Lan, did not speak again, quietly to the dining place.
……
A lunch, but safe and sound, after all, separated by two tables, Mu Lan did not sit with his roommates, but with Xu Luochen, they did not cause any trouble.
After dinner, everyone consciously returned to the front hall, and did not dare to return to the house to rest. Mam
my Yin came very early, and when she saw that the girls were not late, she nodded with satisfaction, and then she took out the roster and called the roll one by one.
Roll call is not to worry about who will not come, in this palace, no one dares to do such a thing.
The roll call is just to familiarize Mammy Yin with these beautiful girls, which is the habit and rule of doing things in the palace.
To the name of the show girl, to step forward, let Yin Mammy recognize Chu people.
Yin Mammy is not familiar with the beginning of those show girls, but familiar with the last, these are just a routine walk through it. The girl who had
called the roll stood aside.
When Mammy Yin read Mu Lan’s name, Mu Lan came out from the end, suddenly, her pace paused, stood in place, and did not go forward. The foot
behind him obviously did not expect Mu Lan to stop, but the foot was somewhat embarrassed.
And Xu Luochen also saw, she silently let a way, let Mu Lan in front of this foot can be exposed.
Sure enough, when Mammy Yin saw that Mu Lan had not gone out, her eyes immediately looked over sternly.
But behind the person after Xu Luochen gets out of the way, startled, obviously also did not expect to have such a thing, in addition was looked at by Yin Mammy, the body shape staggered.
This, she did not trip Mu Lan, let Mu Lan make a fool of himself, but to throw himself in a mess. The people
around him exclaimed. But
Mu Lan calmly bent down to help the other side, and his voice was a little low: “Is this the place where you and I play tricks in the palace?”? Tell the people behind you not to make a fool of themselves at this level.
Obviously, Mu Lan’s voice fell, the other side’s expression changed.
But Mu Lan’s face did not change, and his voice suddenly rose to a high pitch: “I can’t afford to be given such a gift by the daughter of an official of the fifth rank.”
Say that finish, Mu Lan personally picked up the other side. The people
on the scene could not help but snicker, more of an element of watching the fun.
And let Chen Junru do this person, also followed the face changed, but because of the present atmosphere, she did not dare to breathe, even if the heart is unwilling, but also take the immediate matter has no way, more can not jump out to say anything. After
Mu Lan picked up the other side, he and Mammy Yin nodded and motioned to the other side.
Chen Junru did not dare to think of it, but he really lay down and looked even whiter. “This is a palace, a Palace of Gathered Elegance, not your own house, not a place for you to be presumptuous,” said Mam
my Yin, her face sinking. The most taboo in the palace is intrigue and cliques. Once this kind of thing is discovered, it may be a matter of losing one’s head. Mam
my Yin’s voice made the atmosphere at the scene quiet.
“Mammy, I was wrong.” Chen Junru immediately bowed his head and said.
“Don’t let me see this again. If I see it, I will never forgive it.” There was a stern word of warning in Mammy Yin’s voice.
To make an example of the monkey is also for the people present.
Everyone lowered their heads and answered repeatedly. Only
Mu Lan stood without changing his face, as if everything that happened in front of him had nothing to do with her, and he was quiet. It was not
until Mammy Yin finished her lecture that the matter was over.
Afternoon or routine training, still talking about the rules of the palace, at the end of the afternoon, Yin Mammy announced that tomorrow, there will be Mammy to take charge of different courses, the next schoolwork will be more and more heavy.
Everyone did not dare to speak out on the surface, but they complained bitterly in private.
However, after Chen Junru’s incident, the time in the afternoon was a lot of peace, and everyone behaved themselves, and there was no more noise. It was all right
until dinner was over in the evening.
But Mulan’s mind is not here.
In her last life, she had not been trained in advance, so she only knew Mammy Yin, and those who could come next, I’m afraid, were drawn from various palaces, and there must be no shortage of people around the queen, who was in charge of this matter.
So
Mu Lan sank, probably knowing that the next days would not be so good on the surface. On the surface,
she quietly finished her meal and walked towards the courtyard where she lived. The rest of the daughters had come back one after another, but it was obvious that they were in the same boat. Obviously
, when they saw Mulan come in, the men stopped talking, completely ignoring Mulan, and gathered around as if nothing had happened.
Mu Lan is too lazy to say hello.
For this kind of person who is not good on the face, even hypocritical perfunctory is not needed.
But when these people saw Mu Lan walking toward his bed, they could not help but bow their heads and snicker a few words. Mu Lan’s face did not change color, and he stood still when he was approaching the bed.
She is very sensitive to food.
Any kind of food can not easily escape from the tip of Mulan’s nose.
But as far as the eye could see, Mu Lan did not see any food, and Mammy Yin made it clear that she was not allowed to bring any food into the house.
That’s the rule.
Not to mention, this house is also a place for everyone to sleep, not in the courtyard of their respective mansions, which is naturally more strict.
If there is a person who commits a crime, report it directly, and there will be no mercy.
Once from Palace of Gathered Elegance to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, basically, this matter is troublesome, and it is impossible to participate in the selection of Xiu Nu, which means that from the beginning has been defeated, and may even implicate the entire family, become the sinner of the family.
Mu Lan’s face did not change color to stand, in the low eyebrows and eyes, Mu Lan saw a tiny ant climb down from her bed, very regular.
And the aroma of that food comes from fruit.
I’m afraid someone did something, put mashed fruit under his mattress, and got ants, which made a mess.
Just cover the bedding can not see what, open the bedding, I am afraid there is a mess below.
Mu Lan sank and stood where he was. The daughter young lady
of a few whisper, see Mu Lan does not go, this is a little nervous, looked at each other.
Mu Lan suddenly turned and looked at the people present. “I haven’t been in this room since I left here this morning. There were only eight people in this room. I was the first one to arrive. When I arrived, I put down my luggage and went out immediately. My luggage wasn’t even packed yet. It was just beside me.”
Said, Mu Lan compared to the side of the small cabinet.
The remaining seven people looked at each other, wondering why Mu Lan suddenly mentioned this matter.
Especially the head of Su Qiaoqiao, eyes flashed a trace of uncertainty, but the surface is still calm, standing on her side of the six people are afraid to open their mouths. There was an eerie atmosphere in the
air. Mammy Yin can testify to
this. And then, after me, you will come in. Mu Lan continued, “If something happens in this room, I don’t know how you can explain it to Mammy Yin more clearly.”? I’m afraid it was only in the afternoon that Chen Chun-ju’s affair passed, and everyone had a meal and forgot all about it.
Words are warnings.
But a lot of words, point to the end, Mu Lan did not say clearly. “What do you mean, Mu Lan?” Asked
Su Qiaoqiao. “People in the open don’t talk in secret. There’s no need to cover up.”
Mu Lan raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Chiao-chiao, who had jumped out. “Miss Su,” she said with a faint smile. She called the man by his precise name. “What I’m saying is plain. If Miss Su doesn’t understand, it’s probably because Miss Su’s master didn’t teach her well and didn’t even know such a simple truth.”
“You..” Where does Su Qiaoqiao allow others to bully herself so much.
Anyhow her father is also a senior official in the court, to rank seniority, and Mu Wangfu is also on a par, Mu Lan with this tone.
What’s more, she grew up in Kyoto and lived in the Su Mansion.
And what is Mu Lan? He has been exiled by the people of Mu Wangfu since he was a child. Who knows what means he used to come back.
Such status person, Su Qiaoqiao is hits in the heart to look down upon, the nature cannot tolerate Mu Lan to own rudeness.
“What’s wrong with me?” Mu Lan smiled.
Seven young girls stood in a row, with different expressions. Mu Lan didn’t even have to catch the murderer. He could see at a glance who was the mastermind of the matter. Put the mashed fruit
under the mattress and prepare the ants.
She did not find, lying down directly, bringing food in is a charge, provoking ants, harassing others, is another charge, at that time is jumping into the Yellow River can not wash. There won’t be many righteous people in
this palace.
Even if Yin Mammy, under such circumstances, the minority is subordinate to the majority, to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is not Mu Lan’s territory.
And this matter, is from whose idea, Mu Lan is to guess.
“Miss Su and Miss Yi are quite familiar with each other.” Mu Lan suddenly opened his mouth.
Su Qiaoqiao’s face changed.
Mu Lan is not impatient toward Su Qiaoqiao in front of the walk, standing on the side of the people subconsciously back a step, some were surprised by Mu Lan. The smile on
Mu Lan’s face was still very faint, and he stood still in front of Su Qiaoqiao: “There are probably not many people in this circle in Kyoto who don’t know about my enmity with Miss Yi.”
This, Mu Lan is good not to cover up.
Su Qiaoqiao no matter how, but also a teenage girl, Mu Lan such a momentum to frighten can not speak, want to retreat, but the whole person has been against the edge of his bed, almost a stagger sat down.
But Mu Lan did not let go of Su Qiaoqiao’s meaning, lowered his figure, and imprisoned Su Qiaoqiao in his own sphere of influence. The
pressure made Su Qiaoqiao unable to say a word.
And Mu Lan’s words at the moment, more like a debt collector from hell, less of the previous playful smile, without a trace of emotion, cold and unreasonable. Miss
Su, I never like to shoot people in the back. If Miss Su is dissatisfied with me and thinks she wants to uphold justice for someone, she can come at me brazenly, and I will respect you as an opponent. But I will never let go of anyone who snipes at me.
Mu Lan’s words became more and more gloomy, and her slender hand pinched Su Qiaoqiao’s chin. The people
around him dare not breathe.
And Su Qiaoqiao almost screamed.
You scream, scream louder. You’d better call in Mammy Yin, the steward, and attract all the minions in this Palace of Gathered Elegance, big and small, so that everyone can see it carefully and clearly, so as not to turn around and say that I have wronged you. Mu Lan was not afraid at all, and then she let go of Su Qiaoqiao.
Su Qiaoqiao was so frightened that her face turned white.
She had no idea that Mulan knew everything before she even got to the bed.
Clearly the surface can not see any broken slag, clearly Mu Lan did not go to the bed will not find, Mu Lan is how to find.
Su Qiaoqiao failed to figure it out.
But the meaning of Mu Lan’s words, she has already understood.
“You know very well what you have done on my bed.” Mu Lan said every word with extraordinary clarity, “I don’t need to make it clear again.”
「……」
“If you don’t want to admit it, I’ll ask Mammy Yin to come over and have a look. All of you here have come behind me, so you can’t escape this crime. Don’t you know what the result will be?”
Mu Lan glanced coldly at the already shivering girls and said, “If you are expelled from the palace, you will be implicated in your own family.”. Have you decided whether you want to cover up or be honest?
They have never experienced such a picture, where dare to open their mouths to say anything, everyone’s eyes almost fell on Su Qiaoqiao’s body.
Su Qiaoqiao was even more angry and afraid.
Mu Lan looked down from a commanding position, as if to grant amnesty to the world: It’s getting late now, and I’m very tired. I just want to rest. If you don’t want to make a scene, who did it? Who packed it for me and took my luggage to a clean bed. When I wake up, if I find that there is still a trace of shame in this room. Then don’t blame me for being rude.
Mu Lan’s voice fell, but the people present still did not move.
Su Qiaoqiao gnashed her teeth with hatred.
“Still not going?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows.
Su Qiaoqiao is not stupid, naturally clear about the meaning of Mu Lan’s words, and under such circumstances, she can only reluctantly stand up, the side of the people do not want to follow up, but in Su Qiaoqiao’s glare, finally quietly followed up.
Mulan’s luggage was put on the clean bed next to it.
And the rest of the people hurriedly in Mu Lan’s original bed to clean up their own creation of the wolf. The
rotten fruit gradually gave off a rancid smell. There are so many ants
on it that it’s creepy. Those
present were all daughters who had been served on weekdays, and when they had seen such a situation, together with the ants fleeing everywhere, they were even more discomfited.
No matter how embarrassed you are, you have to swallow the bitter fruit you planted, and there is no way.
Unless they want to make a scene. Make a
big deal, as Mu Lan said, they are the ones who can’t afford it.
Mu Lan seemed to be asleep on the bed, but everything on the bed was as if no one had touched it, and there was no chance for them to bite back. In the
wing, there was a low cry, a scream, and a mixture of all kinds of sounds.
Mu Lan turned a deaf ear.
Suddenly, a stern voice came from outside: “It’s too late to sleep. What are you doing?”
Now, the wing became quiet.
No amount of bitterness can be swallowed.
Mu Lan quietly closed his eyes on the clean and comfortable bed, and these delicate daughters tossed about until dawn, before the house was restored to its original appearance.
Some delicate people, white skin began to appear on the red pimple, it is done by ants.
Mu Lan naturally knew, but turned a deaf ear.
Fortunately, these people are not brainless to bring in countless ants, otherwise the whole temple will appear abnormal, let alone clean up, I am afraid the whole Palace of Gathered Elegance is not peaceful tonight.
Ignorance to the extreme.
…… At daybreak
, Mu Lan sat up and looked at Su Chiao-chiao, who looked tired but was afraid to go to bed anyway. She smiled sarcastically and said, “Why, Miss Su hasn’t slept all night?”
Su Qiaoqiao looked at Mu Lan’s eyes and almost hated bleeding.
Mu Lan did not think that he stood up and looked at the restored wing, smiling, and the girls were naturally lying on their beds, tired and did not wake up.
Deserve it. Without saying a word
, Mulan picked up his things and went out to wash, completely ignoring what was happening here.
On the contrary, when Mu Lan was washing, Xu Luochen had already woken up, and when she saw Mu Lan, she came over quickly. Sister
Mu, what happened in your room yesterday? When I come out to go to the toilet at night, I hear all the little noises in the room! Xu Luochen asked curiously, “But it’s dark again. No one turns on the lights. I just see people walking around faintly, as if they haven’t slept.”
“I’m asleep. I’m not sure.” Mu Lan didn’t say anything
. Xu Luochen nodded and quickly changed the subject: “I didn’t sleep well last night. I’m not used to it, but I’ll probably get used to it later!”! We won’t be here for a few days.
Mu Lan hum, really can not stay for a few days.
Xu Luochen has drawn water, by the way to help Mu Lan also received water, Mu Lan smiled gratefully.
Xu Luochen is a lively girl, and she did not feel lonely together, this is before Mu Lan did not find, perhaps the last life, Mu Lan did not have the mind and ability to communicate with anyone. And in this life, she will find so many beautiful things.
“You want to stay in the palace?” Mu Lan suddenly asked. “I don’t know,” said
Xu Luochen, washing his face. “My father and my mother both want me to stay in the palace, but I don’t like it here. It looks like gold and jade, but it’s too depressing.” As she
spoke, Xu Luochen paused, but soon, she went on innocently: “But what my father and mother want is always good. They always want to give me the best, so I will still work hard here.”
She smiled at Mulan and said, “Sister Mu, what about you?”
Xu Luochen is not a person in Kyoto, but in the county not far from Kyoto, plus young, looking naive and romantic, but also know that the parents at home are very well protected.
So he did not know what was going on in Kyoto, and naturally he would not know about these grudges in the Mu Mansion.
Mulan smiled faintly, but his voice was calm: “I’ll stay.”
“Sister Mu, if we all stay, can I follow you? In this place, I think everyone is not simple. On the surface, they are polite to you. No one knows what they will do!” Xu Luochen’s flat mouth is really afraid.
“Then stay?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Xu Luochen’s little face crossed for a moment, and then he was silent.
“It’s not always good to follow me. It’s more risky to follow me than anyone else. Since you’re here and don’t want to leave, you can only find a way to live.” Xu Luochen seemed to understand
these words.
Mu Lan did not explain much.
Some things are not useful by saying, they must be experienced before they can grow up.
It’s like you hear people say how terrible hell is. If you don’t go to hell, how can you feel so horrible and gloomy? Otherwise, these are just your stories, which make you painless. Although
Xu Luochen is naive and romantic, it does not mean that Xu Luochen is silly. She can hear the meaning of Mu Lan’s words.
Mulan rejected himself.
However, although Xu Luochen was a little depressed, he didn’t feel anything. When he looked up again, he still smiled brightly and romantically at Mu Lan: “I will work hard.”
“Mmm.” Mu Lan answered.
Originally entered the palace, the mood of dark clouds, as if all of a sudden has become clear, will not appear so depressed.
Xu Luochen is still chattering with Mulan, as if he was born to like Mulan, which is not quite the same as the quiet little girl in the Palace of Gathered Elegance before.
Mu Lan did not stop and listened quietly.
In this palace, it is not easy for someone to open his heart to you, but to cherish it.
Mu Lan’s eyes fall on Xu Luochen’s body, she is really hope, Xu Luochen into the palace, but also can maintain this pure romance.
But this palace is a place to eat people and not spit bones. Keeping such innocence and romance will eventually force you to go to the end step by step. Therefore, such innocence and romance are not suitable for this place.
In the end, everything will become.
Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes were low and dim, and he did not want to see the bright stars in Xu Luochen’s eyes.
Such Xu Luochen, like himself is still in Gu Fu, was Gu yuanzhi and Li Ruolan to protect the excellent appearance.
Her red lips moved slightly, and finally came to her mouth. Mu Lan didn’t say anything more.
She wanted to ask Xu Luochen if she wanted to leave here, and if she did, she would do her best. But Mu Lan did not ask, after all, people’s fate has been arranged, and her own future is uncertain, how can she interfere in other people’s lives.
For a long time, when Mu Lan’s voice stopped slightly, she calmly opened her mouth: “Luo Chen, I hope you can always laugh like this and be happy.”
The little girl gave a heavy hum and nodded.
Mu Lan laughed.
Xu Luochen is also laughing.
Then Mulan stood up, in preparation for the moment back to the wing, Mulan corner of the corner of the eye but suddenly saw a touch of tall and straight figure, standing outside the palace gate on the Palace of Gathered Elegance.
Is it an illusion?
She did not make a sound, and Xu Luochen nodded, and did not rush to leave, but looked at Xu Luochen bouncing back to his house, Mulan took a quick look at the surrounding environment, and then quietly walked to the side door of the Palace of Gathered Elegance. Went out
through the side door. Sure enough
, Mulan saw Li Shiyu in a dark purple robe, standing not far away, his eyes falling quietly in the Palace of Gathered Elegance. In
those eyes, there are indescribable complex emotions.
Mu Lan did not speak, but just watched.
Li Shiyu soon noticed such a line of sight, deep eyes looked over, two people’s eyes in the air collision, obviously very close, but who did not take the initiative to approach each other.
A very short distance, but like a ditch that can not be crossed, is getting deeper and deeper.
Mu Lan’s hand in the wide sleeve tightened, but the surface seemed cold.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan’s eyes, but also gradually cold down, and eventually, the eyes have moved away from Mu Lan’s body.
The head will not go back.
Mu Lan watched Li Shiyu leave and laughed out loud.
She understood the meaning of Li Shiyu, that glance back, Li Shiyu in his choice of almost, if she is willing to leave from the Palace of Gathered Elegance, Li Shiyu can take himself away without hesitation.
And she chose to refuse.
Refusal also means that he has completely distanced himself from Li Shiyu.
They won’t come any closer.
And from now on, they are people who oppose each other, and they will no longer be grasshoppers in the same boat, and they are closely related.
Almost in an instant, all the emotions, all the past, all the interests can be picked clean. There was a hint of self-mockery in the smile at the corners of
Mu Lan’s mouth.
She knows better than anyone, she can go to the palace step by step, can go to the present, is this person’s resources and contacts to help themselves step by step down, otherwise, with her rebirth after that resource, even if the ability is strong, has long been swallowed up.
And now
Mu Lan is once again pushing himself into danger.
However, there is no room for manoeuvre.
She quietly looked at Li Shiyu’s figure until she was completely out of sight.
Mu Lan just turned around, eyes tightly closed, but the eye socket acid swelling is more and more obvious, some slightly suffused with red.
Li Shiyu, I hope that one day, whether I am in situ or in the abyss, I can watch you step by step on the high platform and win the world.
Then, Mu Lan opened his eyes, the scarlet in his eyes had disappeared, and it was already the calm and incomparable Mu Lan.
……
Soon, Mulan returned to the Palace of Gathered Elegance and not long time, Yin Mammy also got up, Yin Mammy saw Mulan has got up, all packed up, but some surprised.
However, Mammy Yin did not say anything, but nodded at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan nodded politely.
Soon, the original quiet Palace of Gathered Elegance followed the lively up, show girls get up one after another, the palace is full of conversation, after all, young girls, where can control their emotions. Compared
with the strangeness of yesterday, today is much more familiar.
On the contrary, Mu Lan’s house was quiet, and everyone dared not breathe, especially when they saw Mu Lan, they retreated subconsciously, fearing that the next unlucky person would be themselves.
Mu Lan naturally knew the reaction of these people, but completely as if they had not seen it.
