Reversing the
Phoenix Nirvana: The road
of glory and favor after the national demon Mu Lan quietly picked up the cup, but the heart is a little alert, Chen Zhirong close to Mu Lan, Mu Lan did not retreat.
Because she has no way out. Behind
her is Wang Xueshuang, and then step back is bound to meet Wang Xueshuang, and forward is Chen Zhirong.
Two people in the cup light wine shadow, but appears the undercurrent is turbulent.
A glass of wine fell, but nothing happened, calm, but Mu Lan is very clear, such calm is the calm before the storm.
Chen Zhirong’s mother and daughter lost face tonight, and how could they let themselves go easily.
Mu Lan became more and more alert.
At the moment when Mu Lan turned around, suddenly, Mu Lan’s eyes were sharp, and she exclaimed that she was not good. She saw the invisible blade coming rapidly not far away, crossing the crowd and heading for her kneecap.
Not to mention that the other side ferociously wanted to destroy her legs, in such an occasion, this invisible blade, can kill people in the invisible, will not see blood, but it can make her kneel on the ground in a mess, even the people nearby are implicated.
Nearby, there are people who are in high positions and cannot be offended.
Mu Lan knew that the blade was shot by Mu Zhantian, but in such a cramped environment, Mu Lan did not even have the space to turn around, let alone the blade under the crotch.
Even though the heart is flustered, but Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes still appear calm, the brain turns fast. The light of
her eyes gradually became cruel.
If she is defeated here, she must take Chen Zhirong to hell together, how can she let Chen Zhirong go.
Mu Lan’s hands gradually luck, ready to pull to Chen Zhirong’s long sleeves.
At the critical moment
, Mu Lan was about to start, a gust of wind hit, the original blade abruptly shifted direction, Mu Lan eyes sank, hidden in the wide sleeve of the hand slightly hard, not shy of the face of Chen Zhirong, Chen Zhirong pulled.
Chen Zhirong’s expression turned into consternation.
Even not far from Mu Zhantian’s face changed, regardless of courtesy, the first time rushed over, but it was too late.
Chen Zhirong immediately knelt down, the blade fell to the ground, but abruptly pierced her leg, blocking the bloody mouth, the surface looks normal, but the kind of painful pain can kill people every minute.
As a result, Chen Zhirong’s strength caused several tables nearby to be overturned, and everyone stumbled up.
“Empress, what are you..” Mu Lan looked at Chen Zhirong innocently, with tears in her eyes. “Mu Lan didn’t mean to dance on such an occasion.”. Don’t be angry. Mu Lan won’t dare next time.
“Mulan, you..” Mu Zhihua couldn’t help shouting angrily.
Mu Lan looked pitiful, and even looked at Chen Zhirong’s eyes in horror, as if he had done something unforgivable.
Facing Wang Hsueh-shuang and Mu Hung-yuan in the eyes, Mu Lan shook her head. Then she explained, “Dad, grandma, I don’t know where Lan’er offended the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine seems to be very angry, so she lifted these tables. If Lan’er didn’t do a good job, Lan’er is willing to be punished. Please don’t blame the imperial concubine.”
Said Mu Lan also knelt down, between the lines have already put such a sin on their own body.
But it happened that such a move made people look at Chen Zhirong with twisted eyebrows.
Mu Hongyuan’s words, but the people present understand, and Chen Zhirong’s identity in Mu Wangfu, the people present also know that this behavior is undoubtedly not to give Chen Zhirong face.
In addition, Mu Lan’s “Snow Girl” shines brilliantly, overshadowing Mu Zhi’s paintings. Everyone
will think that Chen Zhirong is jealous in order to protect Mu Zhihua. After all, Chen Zhirong can reach today’s position, no less means, no less stepping on human blood.
And how to tolerate Mu Lan.
Naturally, it is necessary to completely eradicate it before Mu Lan has a firm foothold.
With Mu Lan’s pitiful, such a statement becomes more and more convincing.
Wang Hsueh-shuang’s face changed, and it was obvious that she had not expected Chen Chih-jung to be so impatient. Her face also sank: “Chih-jung, as the side concubine of the palace, as the person in power of the palace, don’t you have any tolerance?”? Since Lan Er came back, she has behaved herself and never offended anyone. How could you attack an innocent girl?
“Not..” Chen Zhirong’s face changed in surprise.
“And what are you talking like now? There is no decency at all.” Wang Xueshuang shouted angrily.
Even Mu Hongyuan, who usually spoils Chen Zhirong, has already twisted his brows. When Wang Xueshuang opens his mouth, Mu Hongyuan never speaks.
Not to mention the current situation.
Mu Lan gave himself a surprise, Chen Zhirong this has always been a safe person, but at such a time greatly brushed his face. It is impossible for
Mu Hongyuan not to be angry.
This sudden scene, also let the people present quiet down, everyone you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, for a moment also have no idea. It was Li Shi-yi who
finally said, “Today the king has thanked Lord Mu for his hospitality. Since there is still something to be discussed in the king’s mansion, it is not appropriate for the king to bother here.”
Li Shiyi opened his mouth, and the rest of the people got up one after another to leave.
This is also to Mu Hongyuan left a cover, after all, Mu Hongyuan still has status and power in the court. And even if Li Shiyi is interested in Mu Lan again, at this time, Li Shiyi will not take the initiative to say anything, after all, the future is long.
What’s more, today’s trouble, Mu Lan’s status is even more self-evident.
After the crowd filed out, the last one to leave was Li Shiyu. After Li Shiyu and Mu Hongyuan nodded their heads, their eyes fell on Mu Lan’s body with a heavy look.
Mu Lan lifted his eyelids slightly and did not avoid Li Shiyu’s eyes.
Then, as if nothing had happened, she withdrew her eyes and stood in the same place, still looking pitiful and tearful.
After all the people are empty.
Mu Hongyuan’s face instantly cold down, he walked to the front of Chen Zhirong, raised his hand is an ear photon, fell heavily on Chen Zhirong’s cheek, instant, her cheek swollen up.
“Wang Ye” Chen Chih-jung cried out in disbelief.
Since she married into the palace, Mu Hongyuan has never been angry with himself, but now because Mu Lan has been cruel to himself, such a thing, Chen Zhirong how can not accept.
Mu Zhantian also stepped forward and said, “Father, just because of Mu Lan’s words, is it so easy to convict your mother?”
Mu Chih-hua was also resentful: “Dad, it’s obviously Mu Lan who is playing tricks, and it has nothing to do with Niang.”. Niang has been in the palace for many years, and has never had any trouble. Why is it that when Mu Lan comes to the palace, all kinds of things happen one after another?
I think she is a jinx. When my mother was killed, my father almost had an accident, and now when he comes back, all kinds of trouble in the house keep rising. Such a person should not come back.
Mu Zhihua was completely irrational by such a thing, and took out the taboo of Mu Wangfu directly.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows, eyebrows and eyes flashed a sneer, looking at Mu Zhihua’s eyes, as if to see a very stupid person.
Chen Chih-jung’s movements were even faster, and when Mu Chih-hua opened his mouth, even though his calf was hurt and painful, he still tried his best to hit Mu Chih-hua hard in the ear: “What are you talking nonsense about? Is that what I taught you?”
Mu Zhihua was Chen Zhirong cold hit a slap in the face, that kind of grievance is obvious, the eye socket was red, the bean big tear drop followed to fall down.
In Chen Zhirong’s warning eyes, Mu Zhihua did not open his mouth, but that kind of resentment was vividly displayed.
Mu Zhantian’s expression sank: “Father, if Mother does something wrong, the child will be punished for taking her with him. After all, Mother hasn’t been in good health for the past two years, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to stand it.”
Because Mu Zhantian also saw that the blade eventually pierced Chen Zhirong’s calf, if not handled in time, if the toxicity on the blade breaks out, it will really waste Chen Zhirong’s leg.
This matter, also beyond the expectation of Mu Zhantian.
The second wife is making a lot of noise in the same place, one word for each other.
Suddenly, Mu Lan knelt down directly: “Father, grandmother, these things are because of Mu Lan, Mu Lan voluntarily accept the punishment.”. Father and grandmother, please don’t blame the imperial concubine. After all, Mu Lan’s sudden return really disturbed the peace of the palace.
“You get up.” Mu Hongyuan faced Mu Lan, but his attitude eased a lot.
Even Mu Hongyuan personally helped Mu Lan up, Mu Lan looked at Mu Hongyuan eyes still dense fog, people can not bear to get angry with Mu Lan.
“This has nothing to do with you. The king has his own judgment.” Mu Hung-yuan’s voice is still somewhat dignified. “You go back to the snow tower first.”
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered respectfully, “Thank you, Dad, for not being so strange.” With
that, Mu Lan walked up to Wang Hsueh-shuang and said, “Grandmother, it’s Lan Er’s fault. She’s made trouble for Grandmother. Tomorrow morning, Lan Er will go to the ancestral temple to apologize to Grandmother.”
“Go back first.” Wang Xueshuang opened his mouth lightly, and was really a little tired of being so noisy. “Then Lan Er will retire first,” said
Mu Lanfu.
Then, Mu Lan walked toward the outside of the house, the lotus fragrance hurriedly followed up, Mu Zhihua looked at the figure of Mu Lan leaving, the hate in his eyes was more obvious.
Why can this vicious woman who stirred up trouble get away safely now.
These innocent people are being punished here. After
Mu Lan left, Mu Hongyuan did not speak, and Wang Xueshuang’s voice sank: “Zhirong, in the next three days, you will think about your mistakes behind closed doors. You are not allowed to leave a step, which is a punishment.” Even if
Chen Chih-jung feels wronged, she can only accept her fate under such circumstances: “Yes.”
Now that you hold all the power in the palace, what dissatisfaction do you have. Mu Lan is just a girl of sixteen, or even just returned to the palace, can she threaten your position? Wang Hsueh-shuang says coldly, “I’m old, but I’m not muddle-headed. I can still tell what’s going on. After all these years, if nothing else, at least I’ve given myself full face.”
“What the old lady taught is.” Chen Zhirong did not dare to answer.
Even Mu Zhihua and Mu Zhantian, who were kneeling together, did not dare to open their mouths, so they could only listen to Wang Xueshuang’s lecture.
But don’t forget that Mu Lan is really the daughter of Hong yuan’s own daughter, and also the daughter of Prince Mu’s own daughter. This is even more true in the eyes of outsiders. Not to mention that you have a hard time with a little girl, outsiders will look at me like this, and outsiders will even think that what you can’t tolerate is the late imperial concubine. If you do this, how will you be able to correct yourself? “The last thing I want to see in my life is discord in the palace,”
Wang Hsueh-shuang said bitterly. “If a family is not in harmony, how can it go any further?”
Chen Zhirong bowed his head and was scolded without saying a word, but his resentment towards Mu Lan became heavier and heavier. The appearance of
Mu Lan completely overturned the situation.
Now everything is far beyond the control of Chen Zhirong, Mu Lan’s means of belly black and hidden, and even do not waste a single soldier can let oneself completely rain in the leeward.
She underestimated Mulan.
Such a thing will never happen again. When
Wang Hsueh-shuang saw Chen Chih-jung bow her head and admit her mistake, she relented: “All right, go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors.”
“Yes.” Chen Zhirong answered respectfully and dared not disobey.
At least Wang Xueshuang has not given up his power to Mu Lan, after all, Mu Lan is still a minor, besides, Mu Lan will marry in the future, naturally it is impossible to get the real power of the palace so easily.
She is not entirely without room for manoeuvre.
Mu Lan
Chen Zhirong silently read the name in his heart, and then turned around and straightened his spine and went out. Mu Zhihua dared not stay much, and immediately followed Chen Zhirong out.
Mu Zhantian wanted to say something, but Wang Hsueh-shuang was already waving her hand. “We’ll talk about other things tomorrow. I’m tired, Mammy Li. We’ll go back.”
“Yes, old lady.” Mammy Li immediately got up and took Wang Xueshuang out.
Soon, only Mu Zhantian and Mu Hongyuan were left in the house. Mu Zhantian looked at the scene and said, “Dad..”
“If you’re talking about your mother, the king doesn’t want to talk about it.” Mu Hongyuan directly stopped Mu Zhantian’s words.
Mu Zhan Tianxin is unwilling, but in front of Mu Hongyuan but dare not make a mistake, finally can only completely swallow the words.
Then Mu Zhantian turned and left.
……
At the same time
, “Miss, the side imperial concubine can’t tolerate you, and you embarrassed the side imperial concubine in public. Now you’re still living in Luoxue Lou, and the side imperial concubine won’t give up.” He Xiang opened his mouth to Mu Lan with some worry. Compared
with Hexiang’s nervousness, Mu Lan seems much more calm: “When water comes, earth comes, and soldiers come to block it. Whether it’s a blessing or a curse, you can’t avoid it. Calm down. Don’t throw yourself into confusion. That’s the best policy.”
He Xiang was a little dizzy by what Mu Lan said.
She looked at Mulan almost worshipfully: “Miss, you are really awesome.”
Mu Lan smiled, did not say anything, she quietly toward the direction of the snow building, approaching Luo Xue, Mu Lan’s footsteps paused.
He Xiang nearly bumped into him and asked, “Miss, what’s the matter?”
“You go in first.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly.
The lotus incense answered, also did not dare to stay, immediately walked toward the building, and Mu Lan stood in place.
Quiet for a moment, she did not walk toward the snow building, but toward the relatively quiet position behind the rockery.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi looked over subconsciously.
Mu Lan raised his hand, and the footsteps of the two men naturally stopped and did not continue to follow. After all,
this is in the palace.
If there is really something, Mu Lan’s voice came, they can arrive at the first time, naturally there will be no accident, so Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi did not continue to follow up.
And Mu Lan walked to the rockery, also not anxious to open his mouth, standing in place, patiently waiting for the people in the dark to come out.
After a while, a tall figure came out from another entrance and exit of the rockery, looking straight at the direction of Mu Lan.
“Your Royal Highness.” Mu Lan was calm, and she raised her eyebrows without changing color. “The wound on your chest is healed, so I want to try my bodyguard’s skill.”
If before, Li Shiyu may also have more thoughts of teasing with Mu Lan, but now Li Shiyu has no such mood at all.
Also almost in the moment when Mu Lan’s voice fell, Li Shiyu had already moved to the front of Mu Lan in an instant, and the slender fingers with clear joints pinched Mu Lan’s chin.
Looking at Mu Lan’s eyes is even more heavy and terrible.
“It hurts.” Mu Lan said directly, “Your Highness, if you exert a little more force, you may crush my mandible. In order to protect myself, I will probably shout for help.”. With the ability of the four royal Highnesses now, it is great to be able to leave without a sound, but if you can really leave without a sound, that is the ability. Words that
are not very serious sound casual, but every word is a threat and a warning.
However, in such words, Mu Lan’s eyes are still frivolous, leisurely looking at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu did not let go of his hand, as if he was sure that Mu Lan would not open his mouth. His
voice was very low, and he asked, “Who taught you Snow Girl?”
Maybe a good talent? You learned it when you were a kid? Mu Lan’s answer is still not serious.
“Don’t put on airs with the king, Mulan.” Li Shiyu’s eyes are full of danger, every word more pressure on the mood, usually calm phoenix eyes at the moment have become gloomy, even with a trace of blood, fell on the depth of Mu Lan, people shudder.
Mu Lan did not rush to open her mouth, in the face of Li Shiyu’s sudden hostility, she was also somewhat inexplicable. Mu Lan and Li Shiyu had never been in contact with each other in
the previous life, and naturally they would not understand what Li Shiyu’s sudden hostility was for.
Because of Snow Girl?
“Snow Girl” is the famous dance song of Rong Fei, but it can not change the origin of Rong Fei, and because of this, Li Shiyu has never received the attention of today’s saints.
In Dazhou, blood vessels have always been taken seriously.
In other words, Li Shiyu is just a person of bad blood, it is absolutely impossible to get the throne, but also because of this, Prince Li Shiyuan just planted eyes in Li Shiyu’s palace, but did not do anything to Li Shiyu. Compared
with Li Shiyu, Li Shili, the nine princes who were always neutral, made Li Shiyuan more afraid.
In the previous life, Mu Lan modestly learned dance from Mu Zhihua. “Snow Girl” was once framed by Mu Zhihua, trapped at the bottom of a cliff, met a masked woman, and taught Mu Zhihua. It
was also “Snow Girl” that made Mu Lan stay up all the way to Li Shiyuan’s people to take him out.
At that time, Mu Lan was still useful to Li Shiyuan, otherwise, I’m afraid she would have died at the bottom of the cliff.
But even in this life, Mu Lan can not know the identity of the masked woman, otherwise, Mu Lan will change this kindness.
Sinking, Mu Lan still looked at Li Shiyu calmly: “How did I put on airs with the four royal Highnesses?”? As far as the eye could see, the whole of Dazhou belonged to the Li family. Given Mu Lan’s ten guts, Mu Lan didn’t dare to put on airs with His Royal Highness.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan, but in Mu Lan’s eyes, Li Shiyu did not see the traces of lying, but some of them were calm in the face of danger.
He looked at it quietly for a long time.
Mu Lan is not impatient.
If a few days ago in the west building, Mu Lan may also seek self-protection, but now, Mu Lan is not urgent, she bet Li Shiyu dare not mess up, after all, in the Mu Wang Fu trouble, Li Shiyu is not much good.
Two people confront each other.
For a long time, it was Li Shiyu who took the initiative to loosen Mu Lan, and the original cruelty had all gone, and it seemed that Li Shiyu’s inherent laxity and laziness had been restored.
He looked at Mu Lan with a half-smile. “That Miss Mu is really talented.”
“Could it really be?” Mu Lan is not polite at all.
Li Shiyu was finally laughed at by Mu Lan and quickly changed the subject: “Mu Lan, don’t you have anything to say to Ben Wang?” The
words were all asked by Li Shiyu in such a straightforward manner, but Mu Lan was not pretentious either. “Mu Lan thanked His Highness for saving his life.”
It’s not too much to say thank you.
Today, if it were not for Li Shiyu’s secret action, the person who was in a mess would be himself, and the person who was abolished would also be himself. It was also because of Li Shiyu’s action that Mu Lan turned the situation around and turned defeat into victory.
Although it is impossible to really cold winter Chen Zhirong’s status, but some things can not remember, she can a little bit of Chen Zhirong’s power from the palace uprooted.
It’s just a matter of time, sooner or later.
“You know what’s interesting.” Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan with a half-smile.
Mulan smiled perfunctorily: “Your Highness, after all, only those who know the fun can walk for a long time.”
“Mu Lan.” Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth and called out Mu Lan’s name. “No one told you that people who are too smart are sometimes too smart to be smart.”
“Yes.” Mulan really nodded seriously, but when he looked up again, he said calmly, “But this kind of thing won’t happen to me, so don’t worry about it.”
Today Li Shiyu did not make a move, Mu Lan is nothing more than injured, but she was injured will also hold Chen Zhirong into the water, as long as the drag down Chen Zhirong, Mu Zhantian and Mu Zhihua can not escape, although the enemy one thousand self-loss eight hundred, but in that case, Chen Zhirong is definitely more tragic than current confinement.
So
Li Shiyu listens to Mu Lan’s confident words, in that eyebrow eye a flash of cruel, Li Shiyu actually sees clearly.
Suddenly, his palm wind very quickly toward the direction of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan stood motionless, the wind of her fierce hands making her stagger on the soles of her feet, and even a little blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, but Mu Lan’s tone was always calm: “Your Highness, it’s no fun to try the same thing again and again.”
Li Shiyu has taken back the palm.
Mu Lan did not stay in place much, calmly wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and behind the expressionless opening
, “If it’s all right, your Highness, please come back.”. After all, Mu Zhantian has been in the mansion for a long time tonight, and with the situation of the four royal Highnesses, I’m afraid it will be exposed.
Say that finish, Mu Lan did not open his mouth any more, quickly turned around and walked out of the rockery, not paying attention to Li Shiyu behind him.
But Li Shiyu’s action is much faster than Mu Lan’s, the next moment, Mu Lan’s whole person has been controlled by Li Shiyu, pressed on the stone wall.
Mu Lan’s palms tightened slightly: “Your Highness, are you going to use force on me?”
“Use force?” Li Shi-yu raised his eyebrows. “Do you think Ben Wang needs force if he wants a woman?”
Others may not need it, but I’m not sure. I really don’t like to be forced. Mu Lan did not have any posture of falling behind, still arrogant.
“Mulan, do you know what the best way is for a man who doesn’t know who he is?” Li Shiyu suddenly asked. “Kill her or become one of us,
” Mulan answered without blinking an eye.
“Then tell me what would be more suitable for you?” Li Shiyu continued to ask.
Kill me, the four royal Highnesses are reluctant to part with, after all, the four royal Highnesses’ temper, in front of the problem that did not get the result, the four royal Highnesses will be more cautious. To become one of our own? Your Highness probably doesn’t have this idea. He probably thinks that one day he will be bitten back by me. Mu Lan is clear.
Finally, Li Shiyu laughed out loud, a short laugh with a rare hint of relaxation: “Mulan, Ben Wang is getting more and more curious about you.”
“Well, curiosity killed the cat.” Mu Lan is really not polite at all. “Now can Your Highness let me go?”
“Yes.” Li Shiyu is generous.
But his voice paused, and Mu Lan’s nerves tightened for a moment. Only then did he hear Li Shiyu’s half-smiling voice: “If the king asks for a reward, he will naturally be able to let you go.”
“What?” Mu Lan was stunned.
Then, when Li Shiyu’s voice fell, Mu Lan’s lips were blocked by the man’s thin lips, and even they were behind the rockery, and even here was Mu Wangfu, where someone could appear at any time and anywhere.
But Li Shiyu wantonly did what he wanted to do.
Looking at Mu Lan’s chattering mouth, without a word he liked to hear, Li Shiyu just did something he had endured for a long time.
After all, women are not as strong as men, not to mention that Mu Lan knows too well what the result of shouting will be.
She sneered, suddenly responded to Li Shiyu, in Li Shiyu slightly surprised, Mu Lan instantly grasped the initiative.
Inch close, fast siege and plunder the pool.
Even if he is molested, Mu Lan does not want to be the one who is molested, but the one who is molested.
She is an experienced person, and this kind of thing is naturally very familiar.
“It’s up to me to decide the reward, not the four royal Highnesses.” Mu Lan finally bit Li Shiyu’s thin lips heavily, until she tasted the smell of blood, and then she let go of the man. “Next time, it may come to the heart of the four lords.” With
that, Mulan took a step back and turned into the well-behaved Mulan again. She said, “Your Highness, if there is nothing to do, I will retire first.”
Then Mu Lan left without looking back.
Li Shiyu looked at the figure of Mu Lan leaving, reached out to wipe the blood on the corners of his mouth, because Mu Lan’s hair is ruthless, there is obvious pain in the corners of his mouth.
Then Li Shiyu smiled.
Mulan, you are really interesting.
Then Li Shiyu quickly pulled away, as if he had come and disappeared without a sound, and had never been discovered by anyone.
But at night, Mu Zhanxiao in front of the courtyard there is a carrier pigeon fell, Mu Zhanxiao keenly aware, the first time came out, from the foot of the carrier pigeon took out the letter. There was only one strong word on the
letter.
Mu Zhanxiao was a little surprised.
This is Li Shiyu’s carrier pigeon, and this to, means to give what Mu Lan wants to Mu Lan.
In Mu Zhanxiao’s view, the invisible is an untimed bomb around him, and Mu Lan’s performance in Mu Wangfu these days, Mu Zhanxiao is also well aware of her power. What does
Li Shiyu mean?
But Li Shiyu’s order, Mu Zhanxiao did not disobey, sank, he destroyed the letter, let the carrier pigeon fly, and then turned back to the house.
……
On the second day, when it was bright, Hexiang just woke up and saw the oil lamp in Mulan’s house, which made Hexiang stunned and hurried towards Mulan’s house.
Sure enough, Mu Lan had already got up.
“Miss, what are you doing up so early?” He Xiang asked Mu Lan.
When Mu Lan saw the lotus incense coming, he smiled and said, “Help me clean up, and then we’ll go to the ancestral temple.”
“Huh?” Hexiang didn’t understand what Mulan was going to do at all.
Mu Lan walked leisurely toward the lotus fragrance, pinched the nose of the lotus fragrance, and explained: “What happened yesterday, although the old lady didn’t say anything in her heart, on the surface it seems that I have unlimited scenery.”. But you have to know what the old lady’s most taboo is, so no matter whether it’s right or wrong, it’s the most correct thing to give in first.
This matter, Mu Lan in the mind has a saying, very clear Wang Xueshuang’s idea. Under
such circumstances, no matter what Chen Zhirong did, the relationship between Wang Xueshuang and Chen Zhirong was far deeper than her own, and it was absolutely impossible for her to use this short moment to completely defeat Chen Zhirong.
Therefore, Mu Lan wants to stand firm, naturally must let Wang Xueshuang not fall to own good impression.
And yesterday Mu Lan also opened his mouth to say that he would go to the ancestral temple early this morning to ask for punishment. Although Wang Xueshuang did not mind waving his hand, Mu Lan knew that if he did not go today, Wang Xueshuang would really count it on his head.
After all, there is no smoke without fire. Everything
has two sides, and it is not entirely right or wrong.
So Mu Lan must go today, but also before Wang Xueshuang comes, must kneel in the ancestral temple, this is kneeling for Wang Xueshuang to see. He
also knelt down for Mu Hongyuan to see.
You should know that when Luo Xue was alive, not to mention being punished, Mu Hongyuan was not allowed to kneel down and pay his respects on weekdays.
But yesterday’s matter, Mu Lan also very clearly knew that own this face, in Mu Hongyuan’s heart not light not heavy set off the billows.
At least for the sake of this face, Mu Hongyuan will not embarrass himself too much.
But that kind of sense of distance, Mu Lan can also clearly feel out.
So Mu Lan knew that in front of Mu Hongyuan, she did not have too presumptuous capital, at least not now. But did not return not to have, Mu Lan will not let Mu Hongyuan become own stumbling block.
But these things, Mu Lan is not necessary to explain in detail with the lotus fragrance.
He Xiang listens to Mu Lan’s words, nod repeatedly: “What the young lady says is, the maidservant goes to prepare now.”
With that, Hexiang hurried out of the house to fetch water for Mulan to clean up.
Master and servant, the sky is still not bright, Mu Lan led the lotus incense, toward the ancestral temple, on the way, they did not talk, when the cold wind blew, Mu Lan felt slightly cold.
It was not until he reached the front of the ancestral temple that Mu Lan stopped.
The ancestral temple is lit up.
Mulan took a quiet look, turned his head and said, “Just wait at the door.”
“Yes.” He Xiang answered respectfully.
Then Mu Lan went in, kneeling in the ancestral temple, quietly, also did not get up the meaning, occasionally the lotus incense will probe a look, some heartache.
Not only is Mu Lan wearing thin, the ancestral temple is usually used to punish people who have made mistakes, really kneeling there for a long time the knee is not able to stand.
And now to Wang Xueshuang up, there is at least an hour of time, Hexiang worried that Mu Lan can not stand.
But Mu Lan seemed to be all right, kneeling, his spine straight, even motionless. He Xiang was paying attention, until the sound of footsteps came from outside the ancestral temple, and he Xiang came to his senses.
She looked at the man and said, “I’ve seen Mammy Li.” With a twist of her brows, Mam
my Li was obviously a little surprised. “Hexiang, you don’t take good care of your young lady so early in the morning. Why did you come to the ancestral temple?”? What’s the matter?
He Xiang shook her head and then said, “The maidservant came with the young lady. The young lady came an hour ago. She has been kneeling in the ancestral temple for an hour, saying that she has come to apologize.”
Hexiang is simple, but staying in Mu Wang Fu for a long time does not mean that Hexiang is a brainless person.
So what should be said, what should not be said, the lotus fragrance is still very clear.
With Li’s puzzled eyes in her eyes, Hexiang went on to explain: “Miss Li said that she did something wrong yesterday. She shouldn’t have been impulsive on such an occasion and embarrassed Wang Yeh and the old lady. She had to endure it.” Mam
my Li did not speak.
He Xiang went on: “Because of this, the young lady got up before dawn and didn’t eat anything. After cleaning up, she came to the ancestral temple.” Mam
my Li nodded. “I see.”
He Xiang is also smart enough not to say anything more. Stand quietly in the doorway.
Li Mammy did not stay much, but walked toward the ancestral temple, her movements were very light, and did not disturb Mu Lan, Mu Lan also did not seem to know the movement behind her, still kneeling quietly. Say something in
your mouth. Mam
my Li looked up and saw that Mu Lan was holding a Buddhist sutra, or the one that Wang Xueshuang read the most on weekdays. The smile in Mam
my Li’s eyes deepened a little, and then she went to Mu Lan’s side and said, “Miss, what are you doing?”! This cannot be done.
“Mammy.” Mu Lan called to Mammy Li, looking a little weak. “Mu Lan has come to receive the punishment.”
“What’s wrong with the young lady? Even if there is a mistake, the old lady and the prince didn’t say anything, and the young lady doesn’t have to kneel here.” Mammy Li wants to help Mu Lan. Where is the
ancestral temple? Mammy Li knows very well that normal people can’t stand kneeling for a long time. Not to
mention the golden body of Mu Lan.
Even if Mu Lan just replied, but the adoption of Mu Lan Gu Fu has not let Mu Lan suffer, according to the time of the lotus fragrance, Mu Lan has been kneeling here for a full hour.
In an hour, the kneecap will be out of order.
Mu Lan smiled and said calmly, “Mu Lan knows that Mammy Li is good for Mu Lan.”. But a mistake is a mistake, and Mu Lan is here to take the punishment of his own accord, so that he can calm himself down. Mam
my Li did not speak, but looked behind her.
Gui Mammy has already helped Wang Xueshuang to come.
Mu Lan also sensed that someone was outside, and she knew it was Wang Hsueh-shuang. She lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and then said lightly, “These Buddhist sutras are also read by the old lady. Mu Lan can also pray for the old lady and the old lady by reading them. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Miss, the old lady will be very happy to know your filial piety. The maidservant thought that the old lady would not blame the young lady for what happened yesterday. After all, the young lady is also innocent. Mammy Li spoke.
But her figure dropped slightly, and her voice softened: “Miss, the old lady is here.”
Then, Li Mammy did not say anything, quietly retreated to one side, Mu Lan turned to look at Wang Xueshuang, want to stand up to pay his respects, but because kneeling too long, the moment of getting up is still a little staggering. With quick eyes and quick hands, Mam
my Li caught hold of Mulan and said, “Miss, slow down.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Mu Lan smiled gently.
Wang Hsueh-shuang did not speak, but looked at Mu Lan like this: “Why are you kneeling here before dawn?”
“Back to grandma, because of what happened yesterday.” Mu Lan tells the truth.
“What happened yesterday?” Wang Xueshuang continued to ask, and his eyes became sharp.
Mu Lan is not ambiguous: “Yesterday’s toast, Lan son should not be ignorant, quiet point to let this matter on the line.”. But Lan’er cried out, causing so much trouble.
Wang Hsueh-shuang raised her eyebrows and said, “Your concubine has taken the initiative to provoke you. It’s good of you to take all this on yourself.”
The empress is the elder, and Lan’er is only the younger. There is no such thing as active provocation. What’s more, the empress was also punished, and Lan’er, as a junior, came to the ancestral temple to receive the punishment of her own accord. Mu Lan said softly, “I also ask my grandmother to forgive Lan Er for not being sensible.”
At this point, Wang Xueshuang’s frowning brows unfolded with Shu.
In the palace, these years seem to be calm, but everyone knows that the undercurrent is turbulent in such calm.
Chen Zhirong is in power, and the other two concubines behave themselves, but behaving themselves does not mean that they do not have any ideas. After all, no one can get the position of the mother of the house.
It also means that everyone can.
So Wang Xueshuang flattered quite a lot of words, but Mu Lan this real words, listen to Wang Xueshuang heart relaxed, is much more comfortable.
With Mu Lan’s understanding, Wang Xueshuang became more and more satisfied.
“All right, kneel down for an hour, and if you’ve been punished, let Hexiang take you back and rest.” Wang Xueshuang opened his mouth. What happened
yesterday, Wang Xueshuang didn’t have any opinions about Mu Lan.
Only in that case, Mu Lan is indeed a victim, coupled with the side of the imperial concubine more and more powerful in recent years, this just want to let Wang Xueshuang take this to teach the side of the imperial concubine.
Wang Xueshuang also did not expect, Mu Lan said to come to the ancestral temple to receive punishment, unexpectedly came before dawn, she thought Mu Lan is also casually said.
This move, but let Wang Xueshuang look at Mu Lan a few minutes,
the heart is more and more satisfied.
In the palace, there are not many people who are so clever and sensible.
Mu Zhihua grew up being held in the palm of his hand. Although he was gentle, he still had a delicate and small temper.
Mu Zhantian was canonized and moved out of the palace, with his own courtyard, the attitude is naturally different. Mu Zhanxiao is indifferent by nature and has always been silent. And Mu Mian is more cautious, as if in the cracks to survive.
So, in contrast, Mu Lan’s good, it seems to be immediate. The love in
these words has increased unconsciously.
When Mu Lan heard Wang Xueshuang’s words, she stood up and did not let herself stagger. She stood steadily, and then she said, “Lan Er knows. Lan Er thanks her grandmother for her kindness.”
Wang Hsueh-shuang nodded, “I’ll take your heart.”. Rest first. If your father sees you kneeling here, he’ll probably be scolding me.
Mu Lan did not speak, just quietly listening to Wang Xueshuang’s words.
Wang Xueshuang finished but also did not say anything, see Mu Lan on the table of the Buddhist scriptures, can not help nodding, and Mu Lan in Wang Xueshuang turned around, this is toward the ancestral temple outside.
Passing by Mammy Li, Mammy Li smiled at Mu Lan, who nodded and left the ancestral temple.
He Xiang followed closely.
But Mu Lan’s pace was not fast, as if he was waiting for someone. He Xiang became nervous and said, “Miss, are you uncomfortable?”? The maidservant went to send for the doctor.
“It doesn’t matter.” Mu Lan lightly refused. When
he Xiang wanted to say something else, Mu Lan had already looked up at Mu Hongyuan who came in not far away, and Mu Hongyuan was followed by Mu Zhantian.
Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes were slightly cold, and he quickly gathered up his emotions and looked at Mu Hongyuan. “Lan, please pay your respects to your father.”
“Why is Lan Er here?” Mu Hongyuan twisted his eyebrows.
Mu Lan slightly explained, and did not say too much in detail, because Mu Lan knew that Wang Xueshuang would naturally say to Mu Hongyuan that Wang Xueshuang’s words were more useful than his complete explanation.
And the person Mu Lan wants to wait for is also Mu Hongyuan.
When Mu Hongyuan returned to the palace, he was bound to go to the ancestral temple to pay his respects to Wang Xueshuang.
Mu Hung-yuan nodded: “Lan’er is sensible and has a heart.”
“This is what Lan’er should do.” Mu Lan said gently, very obedient appearance.
Mu Hongyuan looked at Mu Lan, Mu Lan in front of him, the look in his eyebrows and eyes became more and more like Luo Xue, who was also standing so leisurely, waiting for himself, gently talking to himself.
Even this line of voice, Mu Hongyuan felt almost exactly the same.
His voice softened. “Your grandmother won’t embarrass you. Don’t do that next time.”. If something happens to you, you can’t tell your mother as a father.
Mu Lan smiled and said nothing.
Just look at Mu Hongyuan’s eyes as if worship, but such worship is more indifferent.
If it’s really hard to explain, why did you send yourself out of the palace.
But now that I think about it, it’s not a good thing to be sent out of the palace at birth. To stay in the palace, Mu Lan knows that he can’t live to the present, and when he has no ability to protect himself, he will completely disappear from the palace.
After all, Chen Zhirong’s means are extremely cruel. How could
she leave herself such a bomb from time to time? Even now, Mu Lan knows that he is surrounded by dangers.
Then, Mu Hongyuan walked towards the ancestral temple. But
Mu Lan looked at Mu Zhantian, who was following him, and suddenly stopped him with a half-smile. “Big brother didn’t go to the palace this morning. Why did he go back to the palace with his father?”
This is a knowing question.
Sure enough, Mu Zhantian looked at Mu Lan’s eyes more and more cold down.
Up to now, Mu Zhantian could not believe that he had been put together by Mu Lan, and even Chen Zhirong had not escaped. Chen Zhirong married to the palace, has always been smooth and smooth, when was so punished.
Although only by confinement, the body has not been any harm, but enough to let Chen Zhirong’s face, but also let the second room this one in jeopardy.
Even when Chen Zhirong was confined, he and Mu Zhihua were not allowed to enter, implying that they had cut off any way to communicate.
Even Mu Zhihua kept his place in his own courtyard and never left, for fear of getting into trouble if he was not careful.
But the person who makes all this, but can appear in front of with ease, even the tone is provocative, how can Mu Zhantian be reconciled.
“Even my sister knows that she has come to my grandmother to plead guilty. But as my eldest brother, don’t I know?”. Mu Zhantian sneered and answered Mu Lan.
Mu Lan nodded clearly: “That’s right. Then Mu Lan won’t bother Big Brother.” Finish
saying Mu Lan Fu Fu body, but calmly from Mu Zhantian’s side.
Mu Zhantian deliberately stopped, but did not immediately follow Mu Hongyuan. When Mu Lan passed by him, Mu Zhantian’s voice was gloomy, with a warning: “Mu Lan, don’t be too proud.”
Mu Lan’s footsteps also followed to stop, still not impatient: “proud?”? Mu Zhantian, this will not make me proud.
“You..” Mu Zhantian’s face changed and became more and more ugly.
Mu Lan gave a low smile, but there was sarcasm in his smile. He could not have said it more clearly: “I am a man who has seen blood and lost his life. Maybe I will be more proud.”
This also does not take the ingredient of a joke, the eye light followed to sink down, when looking at Mu Zhantian head-on, the bottom of the eye is with a trace of cold, so the hatred is obvious.
“With you?” With a sneer, Mu Zhantian didn’t see Mu Lan at all. “Your little trick will kill you next time.”
“Wait and see.” Mu Lan, however, was calm and was not stimulated by Mu Zhantian. “Mu Zhantian, I probably prefer the feeling of a cat catching a mouse, grinding the prey to death little by little.”
With that, Mu Lan ignored Mu Zhantian and walked out of the ancestral temple.
Mu Zhantian’s cruelty and darkness became more and more obvious.
Lotus incense scared a word did not dare to say, more dare not look at Mu Zhantian, quickly followed Mu Lan, toward the ancestral temple outside, along the way, lotus incense is the atmosphere dare not breathe.
All the way to the falling snow building.
He Xiang closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief. “Miss, you’re taking too much risk.”
“Don’t worry.” Mu Lan did not care to smile, “at least this period of time is peaceful, the side of the imperial concubine has just been punished, that one of the people do not have the courage to do again.”. Plus Wang Ye is at least not malicious to me, they are even more afraid. Otherwise, the old lady and the prince would both point to the imperial concubine’s room.
This is also the reason why Mu Lan has nothing to fear.
As long as she does not leave any handle in Chen Zhirong, Mu Lan can do whatever she wants to do.
He Xiang listened to Mu Lan’s explanation.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the moon said, “Miss, the second young master is here.”
Mu Zhanxiao?
Mulan sank, her eyes shining, and she remembered what she had said to Mu Zhanxiao before. After a moment of silence, Mulan said, “Let the second young master come in and prepare some good tea.”
“Yes.” The moon answered respectfully.
The lotus fragrance is also very interesting to retreat out.
After a while, Mu Zhanxiao appeared in front of Mu Lan. Mu Lan looked at Mu Zhanxiao and said hello quietly: “Second brother came to see me specially, but what’s the matter?”
Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan quietly, as if he was looking at something.
Mu Lan is also not evasive, let Mu Zhanxiao watch.
Mingyue had already brought in the best tea leaves, and when she was ready to make them, Mu Lan stopped her: “Just put them there. Mingyue, you go out first.”
“Yes.” The moon did not say anything, immediately turned around and went out, and then carefully closed the door.
Mu Lan sat down unhurriedly and looked at Mu Zhanxiao. Then he said lightly, “Second Brother, please.”
Mu Zhanxiao nodded and sat down in front of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan did not continue to ask Mu Zhanxiao to come here for the purpose, but quietly brewing tea, every movement appears to be very skilled, but with the inherent dignity and elegance.
It seems that this action has been done countless times.
Mu Zhanxiao looked at it with some surprise and did not break the silence.
Mu Zhanxiao checked Gu Fu, Gu Fu is just an ordinary vendor, not even big, there is no fame, Kyoto such vendors are many, but can teach Mu Lan such, can be counted.
This Gu Fu
Mu Zhan Xiao sank, also did not say anything.
And Mu Lan had already brewed the tea and handed it to Mu Zhanxiao: “Cinnamon, the second brother should like it.” As
soon as he smelled the tea, he knew that he liked cinnamon. “How do you know I like cinnamon?” He asked.
“Once in a while I pass by my second brother’s courtyard and I can smell the aroma of cinnamon. I guess my second brother likes cinnamon.” Mulan found a reasonable reason.
Knowing that Mu Zhanxiao likes cinnamon is a matter of a previous life.
Although and Mu Zhanxiao do not contact, but in a palace can not not contact, so several times down, Mu Lan is to remember, Mu Zhanxiao is also in Mu Wangfu to their own friendly people.
But Mu Lan also did not expect, this life, they will be so face to face calm chat.
Mu Zhanxiao raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and took a sip of tea. He was surprised that Mu Lan’s skill in making tea was the same as the tribute cinnamon, but Mu Lan’s method of making tea was far better than those servants.
Mu Zhanxiao finished drinking, put down the teacup, Mu Lan poured a cup for Mu Zhanxiao again.
She never asked much.
“Aren’t you curious why I came to you?” Mu Zhanxiao broke the silence and asked.
“Now that the second brother is here, he’s bound to tell us what he wants to do, so why should I be in such a hurry?” Mu Lan answered faintly.
Mu Zhanxiao’s hand holding the teacup paused, but laughed out loud, and then he put down the teacup, took out an ointment from his bosom and handed it to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan is stupefied: “Is this?”
“Your Highness asked me to give it to you.” Mu Zhanxiao, on the other hand, said bluntly, “It is of great help in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.”. After kneeling for more than hour in the morning, the girl’s kneecaps can’t stand it, and she’s no better than us.
Then, Mu Zhanxiao put things down.
“Your Highness?” Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and looked at Mu Zhanxiao. How could
Li Shiyu know what happened in Prince Mu’s mansion this morning. But on second thought, think of the relationship between Mu Zhanxiao and Li Shiyu, Mu Lan is not surprising.
Then she smiled. “Did the second brother and the fourth brother say that?”
“Not really.” Mu Zhanxiao denied, “What happened yesterday, the four royal Highnesses were also present, how could they not know the situation?”? When I entered the palace early this morning, Your Highness gave me the ointment and asked me to give it to you. The action in
Mu Lan’s hand paused, but soon continued to make tea, without interrupting Mu Zhanxiao’s words.
Your Highness says you are a man of your word. Since he said yesterday that he would go to the ancestral temple today to receive the punishment, he must have gone early, so he asked me to bring the ointment, thinking that you should use it. Mu Zhanxiao conveyed Li Shiyu’s words completely.
In addition, Mu Zhanxiao did not ask a word more.
Mulan made tea and put down the tea set. As a result, he played with the ointment in his hand for a while. Then he smiled faintly at Mulan: “Please tell your Highness that Mulan has thanked you.”
Mu Zhanxiao nodded to show that he knew. They were
quiet for a while, just drinking tea separately.
Until the teacup is empty, Mu Zhanxiao put down the teacup, just looked at Mu Lan, Mu Lan did not avoid Mu Zhanxiao’s eyes, the air with a slightly tense atmosphere.
“These are the addresses of the two upper berths. Shopkeeper Wang is in charge. He’s a safe man. He doesn’t talk much, and he can do everything neatly.” Mu Zhanxiao broke the silence succinctly.
Then a note was placed in front of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan took it, took a look at the contents of the note, and then put the note into the side of the candle lit, until the note turned to ashes.
I’ve already told the shopkeeper. Shopkeeper Wang has a pretty good idea. You can tell shopkeeper Wang directly what you need and how to arrange it. Mu Zhanxiao said directly, and did not say anything more.
Mu Lan listened and nodded: “I have to work for my second brother.”
Mu Zhanxiao hum, but did not say much, he still looked at Mu Lan, for a long time, before asking: “I want to know, what do you want to shop for?”
Mu Lan did not answer immediately.
“Mu Lan.” Mu Zhanxiao called Mu Lan’s name, but she didn’t care that she didn’t answer. “You know, this is Mu Wang Fu. Although the folkway of Dazhou is not so conservative, women are not allowed to leave the mansion.”. But the palace is different from the Ku Mansion where you used to live. If you leave in private without permission, it’s easy to have an accident.
Mu Lan listened to Mu Zhanxiao’s words, but smiled, magnanimous and confident: “Did the second elder brother forget what his grandmother said yesterday?”? My affairs don’t need to go through the side of the imperial concubine again. The implication is that I am a free person.
In other words, unless it is Wang Xueshuang and Mu Hongyuan, no one can control where Mu Lan is going, or what he is going to do.
“That being said.” Mu Zhanxiao quieted down. “It’s better to be more careful.”. After all, you are a young girl who has never been out of the cabinet, and since you were born in the palace, you have had to do a lot of things.
“Mu Lan thanked his second brother for his advice.” Mu Lan nodded politely. Although
she was smiling, there was still a sense of distance in her smile. Compared
with Mu Zhantian’s ruthlessness and arrogance, Mu Lan knows more clearly that the warm Mu Zhanxiao is a hidden master.
Otherwise, it is impossible to become Li Shiyu’s most trusted right-hand man.
Mu Zhanxiao saw Mu Lan, nodded and looked at Mu Lan. Only then did
Mu Lan turn the conversation around: “As for me wanting a shop, that may be the same purpose as my second brother.”. Although I am in the palace, but I have no authority in the palace, nor any source of money, want to gain a firm foothold, a lot of things is to manage, since to manage, I naturally have to have a way to make money. Does Second Brother understand the implication?
“You’re thinking far and wide.” Mu Zhanxiao nodded, with a touch of admiration in his eyes. “But be more careful in everything.”
“I will.” Mu Lan answered, “Even if something happens, it won’t implicate the second elder brother and the fourth royal Highness.”
Mu Zhanxiao’s eyes sank.
“Second Brother, if I can say these things, I can naturally guess the relationship between you and the Fourth Royal Highness, can’t I?” Mu Lan is confident.
Mu Zhanxiao laughed and said, “Mu Lan, you are not an ordinary person. I am more and more curious. What kind of place is Gu Fu that can teach you like this?”
The Ku family is just an ordinary family. As for me, “Mu Lan quieted down, then looked at Mu Zhanxiao’s eyes, which were suddenly calm and sharp.” People who may die once will be reborn. ”
Mu Zhanxiao didn’t feel anything wrong. What happened when
Mu Lan came back, Mu Zhanxiao naturally knew that under such circumstances, it was not a fuel-efficient lamp to come out safe and sound.
Obviously Mu Lan did not intend to talk deeply with himself about these, so Mu Zhanxiao was very interesting and asked more questions.
Whether it is a person or a ghost, after a long time, there will naturally be a conclusion.
For Mu Zhanxiao, he wants to know whether Mu Lan is an enemy or a friend. In today’s contacts, Mu Zhanxiao hopes to be the latter, not the former.
After clarifying his purpose, Mu Zhanxiao did not stay in the snow building, after all, the goal of the snow building is too obvious, plus almost all the people in the palace are Chen Zhirong, Mu Zhanxiao does not want to cause any trouble in the palace.
He put down his teacup and quickly stood up and said goodbye to Mulan.
Mu Lan personally sent Mu Zhanxiao out of the house, Mu Zhanxiao stopped the pace of Mu Lan, and then left the snow building.
After Mu Zhanxiao left, Mu Lan played with the Huayu ointment in his hand and turned around in the palm of his hand.
She studied medicine with Gu yuanzhi at an early age, and naturally knew that this stasis-removing ointment came from a very precious medicinal material, which very few people outside the palace could get.
So it was really written by Li Shiyu?
Mu Lan sank, unable to say whether he was happy or unhappy.
But that kind of feeling of being peeped at, still let Mu Lan some heart give birth to vigilance. Even if this life is reborn, Mu Lan also knows very well that many things have deviated from the track of history and will not necessarily follow the development of the previous life.
Therefore, we still need to make progress step by step.
Sink, Mu Lan did not speak, but also did not waste the ointment sent by Li Shiyu, to their knees on the medicine, that kind of cold feeling came, piercing pain also gradually disappeared, congestion also faded a lot.
After that, Mu Lan put it away as if nothing had happened. Inside
the snow-falling building, a moment of peace was restored.
……
Chen Zhirong was confined for three days and was not allowed to leave.
The whole Mu Wang Fu also followed a lot of quiet, Mu Zhihua also went to Mu Zhantian’s mansion, and did not stay in Mu Wang Fu, only Mu Lan, and Wang Xueshuang please.
Even not only in the early morning, most of the time, Mu Lan also accompanied Wang Xueshuang. Can not
say is the superior calculation or other reasons, it seems that Mu Lan has been accompanied, Wang Xueshuang’s mental state is far better than before Mu Lan came back, which also makes Mu Hongyuan very happy.
And Wang Xueshuang looked at Mu Lan differently.
Mu Lan advance and retreat properly, Wang Xueshuang knew that Mu Lan was to please himself, but Mu Lan’s every move never let Wang Xueshuang feel bored.
Even Wang Xueshuang does not need to explain, Mu Lan all seems to know what he wants, can arrange steadily and properly.
But even so, Mu Lan does not take credit, appears to be particularly modest.
Not only Wang Xueshuang, but also the slaves beside Wang Xueshuang looked at Mu Lan with new eyes and became particularly respectful.
Now even Wang Xueshuang’s three meals a day are carefully arranged by Mu Lan. It’s completely different from the dishes we ate
before.
Although they were all cooked by Wangfu chefs, the whole dish was much more refreshing, from the morning porridge and side dishes to lunch and dinner, each dish became small and delicate, so that Wang Xueshuang could not help but eat a lot more.
Even when the imperial doctor came to examine Wang Xueshuang, he was surprised that Wang Xueshuang’s body was obviously much healthier during this period of time, which was far from the appearance of his previous illness.
“If the old lady goes on like this, she will surely become healthier and healthier.” The doctor nodded and felt Wang Hsueh-shuang’s pulse. Then he smiled and said, “I’m curious. What did the old lady eat these days to make her feel so refreshed?” Smiling,
Wang Xueshuang looked at the doctor. Then she pointed at Mu Lan and said, “Thanks to Lan Er, these days, Lan Er is here to accompany me, an old woman, and take good care of me. Lan Er personally arranges three meals a day, so that my body gets better day by day. Lan Er is my lucky star.”
Mu Lan smiled humbly. “Grandmother, you flatter me.”. It was a good prescription from the imperial physician.
Wang Xueshuang likes Mu Lan not to take credit.
Even the doctor couldn’t help looking at Mu Lan.
Mu Wang Fu’s daughter returned, has long been a well-known thing, that night to Mu Wang Fu’s minister back, the deepest memory is actually Mu Lan, as well as her dance “Snow Girl”, this matter has spread to the ears of today’s emperor, even the emperor will ask about Mu Lan in private.
Mu Lan is really famous in the first World War.
And the recent opinions are really extraordinary.
Even if there is no luxurious clothes, temperament is particularly dusty, unforgettable at a glance, especially Mu Lan’s delicate facial features, leisurely, just like the person in the painting.
“Miss Mulan, can you tell me what the old lady ate? I’ll think about it.” The imperial physician asked.
Mu Lan is also not affectation, smiled to answer: “Mu Lan is only a combination of your prescription, with the old lady’s daily diet is relatively light, not greasy, but also to ensure a balanced nutrition, to remove the usual tonic things.”. Only when people get rid of the dross can they get the essence. Some of the foods and medicinal herbs are mutually reinforcing, but Mulan just wants the old lady’s daily food and your prescription to complement each other, so naturally you can get twice the result with half the effort.
The doctor nodded his head as he listened to Mu Lan’s words. Then he said to Wang Xueshuang with a smile, “Old lady, you are looking for a grandson. With Miss Mu Lan here, your illness will be cured by medicine.”
Wang Hsueh-shuang also looks very happy: “Yes, Lan’er is my baby.”
The doctor smiled.
He looked at Mu Lan, who stood without changing his face.
“If there is a chance that Miss Mulan can enter the palace, I think the emperor will like Miss Mulan very much.”
Mu Lan smiled gently, did not respond to the words of the imperial doctor, do not know whether it is shy or other emotions, but also stood back a step, silent. How could a person like
Wang Xueshuang not hear the meaning of the imperial doctor’s words.
But Wang Hsueh-shuang didn’t get a puncture, either, and thanked the doctor: “This time I’ve asked Doctor Ho to come in person.”
Ho Chang-sheng waved his hand and said, “What are you talking about?”
After that, Ho Chang-sheng stood up and said, “Old lady, you have a good rest. I’ll leave first.”
“Mammy Li, see Doctor Ho out.” Wang Xueshuang ordered. Mam
my Li quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, “Doctor Ho, please.”
He Changsheng nodded, then picked up his things and walked out leisurely.
Wang Hsueh-shuang watched Ho Chang-sheng go out. Then she looked at Mu Lan and said, “Do you understand what Doctor Ho said?”
Mu Lan pretends to be stupid: “Mu Lan is so stupid that he asks his grandmother to make it clear.” The draft is held every
three years this week, and this year it will be about a month after the Hungry Ghost Festival. All the children of officials above the fifth grade had to enter the palace to participate in the talent show, and if the emperor took a fancy to them, they would rise in the world, and even their parents would follow them. If the emperor doesn’t take a fancy to it, he will also tell you to get married, and then they are all relatives of the emperor. Wang Xueshuang explained lightly.
Mulan listened and knelt down with a splash. “Grandmother, Mulan has never thought of this. Mulan just wants to stay in the house with Grandma and Dad.”
The sound of kneeling was particularly clear.
Mu Lan’s words also do not have a trace of a joke, even the expression has a panic.
Wang Xueshuang nodded, but helped Mu Lan up in person. “I also know that the emperor is old. If you are really taken in by the emperor, it will not be a good thing for you.”. You know, once the emperor died, all the concubines in the harem would lose their hair, and those with bad lives would be buried with them. Apart from the queen and a few favored concubines, they can stay in the harem.
The palace is dangerous, Wang Xueshuang is an experienced person, naturally know clearly.
If there is no other feeling for Mu Lan, then Mu Lan’s death has nothing to do with Wang Xueshuang, but now, Wang Xueshuang likes Mu Lan tightly, and naturally he will mention Mu Lan.
But there is no escape from the draft. By the sixteenth, all unmarried girls have to enter the palace. But I will tell Mammy, who is in charge, not to let the emperor turn over your cards. Just keep a low profile. I think you can do it. Wang Xueshuang did not doubt Mu Lan’s ability to handle affairs.
Mu Lan nodded. “Lan must follow her grandmother’s teachings.”
Zhihua is the same age as you, and then Zhihua will also enter the palace. It is good for you to have someone to take care of you. Wang Xueshuang went on to say, “There are 14 princes around the emperor, but not many of them have the imperial concubines. Even the position of the Crown Princess is vacant today. No matter which prince it is, you are the imperial concubines, and I am much more relieved. One day I will die, and I won’t miss you.”
“Grandmother, what are you talking about?” “You will certainly live to be a hundred years old.”
“Looking at you, you are usually cold and indifferent, but your mouth is sweet.” Wang Xueshuang is smiling.
Mu Lan pulled Wang Xueshuang’s sleeve coquettishly. “Lan just wants to stay with her grandmother.”
“Really don’t want to enter the draft?” Wang Xueshuang raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan shook her head. “Lan has never thought of getting married.” If
I really don’t want to, it’s not impossible. I’ll think about it when the time comes. Lan’er is not very old, so she can stay for two years. When the time comes, I’ll go to the palace in person and ask the queen mother to marry you. Wang Xueshuang didn’t make it clear.
But Mu Lan is very clear, do not want to enter the palace, at that time the disease is good, she is a doctor, get a decent disease, deceive the imperial doctor in the palace is not difficult.
Avoiding the draft, it will take another three years, which is enough time for Mulan to change everything.
But if you really can’t escape, entering the palace is not the worst choice.
Mu Lan also did not show these on the surface, still hide very well. Wang Hsueh-shu
ang quieted down for a moment, then took Mu Lan by the hand and changed the subject: “Lan, the Hungry Ghost Festival is coming. I’ll go back and ask Mammy Li and the housekeeper Chen to tell them to get your clothes ready. The Hungry Ghost Festival. Every year the Mu family is invited by the emperor to the palace to participate in the Hungry Ghost Festival.”
Mu Lan knew this, but on the surface, she just answered cleverly and said nervously, “Lan’er is afraid that if she enters the palace carelessly, she will break the rules.”
“You won’t.” Wang Hsueh-shuang is unperturbed: “I’ve lived most of my life, and I can still see people clearly.”
Mu Lan listens to Wang Xueshuang’s words, also did not say anything again, hum sound, still cleverly stands.
“Although the Hungry Ghost Festival is a celebration of the whole world, once you get into the palace, the women waiting to be married are all gorgeously dressed. How can first daughter of Prince Mu’s palace lose her elegance? At least she wants the most shining star in the crowd.” Smiling, Wang Hsueh-shuang said, “In this palace, all the people walking around are princes and nobles. If you don’t want to enter the palace, you can find someone who is well-matched and let the emperor get married.”
Mu Lan did not refute Wang Hsueh-shuang’s words, but answered cleverly, “Lan Er listens to her grandmother.”
So clever Mu Lan, but let Wang Xueshuang more and more appear satisfied.
But Mu Lan understood that Wang Xueshuang was partial to himself in this matter, but Wang Xueshuang’s heart was still toward Mu Zhihua.
Today, Prince Li Shiyuan and Mu Zhi have been painting dark songs for a long time, but the surface is only the meaning of appreciation.
Mu Wang Fu and the meaning of the East Palace are very clear, to let the emperor point to marriage in the Hungry Ghost Festival, this is also an unspoken secret.
And Mu Lan a few days ago in Mu Wang Fu’s banquet, World War I became famous, now the palace said the most is Mu Lan, Wang Xueshuang is also afraid of Mu Zhihua and Li Shiyuan’s marriage has changed, so he wanted to take Mu Lan into the palace ahead of time.
Let Mu Lan see the queen mother, let the queen mother speak, can point to marriage in advance is the best, so it will not affect Mu Zhihua and Li Shiyuan.
After all, the emperor’s mind is hard to guess. Are the people of
Mu Wang Fu, perhaps Li Shiyuan turned around and took a fancy to Mu Lan?
Although the palm and back of the hand are meat, Wang Xueshuang likes Mu Lan not to marry, but compared with Mu Zhihua’s feelings for more than ten years, Mu Lan is still much weaker.
This, Mu Lan is very clear, also did not puncture, in front of Wang Xueshuang, still respectfully. How could
she let Mu Zhi draw well.
If you don’t go back to Li Shiyuan’s side, how can Mu Lan get revenge.
But Mu Lan did not want to walk into Li Shiyuan’s side now, because her wings are not full, she wants to enter the palace, because she has some clues still in the palace.
As for Mu Zhi’s painting, Mu Lan naturally could not let it go easily.
“Lan’er.” Once again, Wang Hsueh-shuang said, “I won’t let you be wronged.”
“Lan thanked her grandmother.” Mu Lan is blessed.
Then Mu Lan turned around and gently pinched Wang Xueshuang’s forehead. In such a relaxed rhythm, Wang Xueshuang became more and more relaxed.
It was not until Wang Xueshuang fell asleep that Mu Lan walked out of the wing in a low voice, explained to Mammy Li, left Wang Xueshuang’s courtyard, and returned to the Snow Tower.
…… Another
day passed
, and Mu Lan came back from Wang Hsueh-shuang as usual. On the way, he met Chen Chih-jung, who was out of confinement. Mu Lan’s face did not change. “Mu Lan has seen the imperial concubine.”
Chen Chih-jung looked at Mu Lan quietly. After waiting for a while, she waved her hand to let Mu Lan get up. “I can’t afford it. Get up.”
Mu Lan is also not affectation, get up and retreat to one side.
Chen Zhirong did not look at Mu Lan, toward Wang Xueshuang’s courtyard, Mu Lan stood in place, until Wang Xueshuang left, this turned to continue to walk forward. After
walking for a while, Mu Lan’s footsteps stopped. How to say that the
enemy’s road is narrow?
It seems that as long as you see a person you don’t want to see, then a succession of people will appear in front of you, just like Chen Zhirong passed the day of confinement, and Mu Zhihua, who was hiding in Mu Zhan Tianwangfu, also came back. Compared
with Chen Zhirong’s face without changing color, Mu Zhihua expressed his emotions clearly, which was his disgust for Mu Lan.
But when Mu Chih-hua walked up to Mu Lan, his attitude became very good, and he softened his voice and said, “Sister Lan, it was Chih-hua who was not good before. Please don’t haggle with Chih-hua.”
“No.” Mu Lan laughs, “I won’t attack unless I’m attacked. My sister has such a delicate heart, naturally she won’t offend me.”
Half a joke, half a sarcastic remark, provoked Mu Zhihua almost changed his face.
But because of the warning of Mu Zhantian and Chen Zhirong’s previous fate, Mu Zhihua put up with it and swallowed the anger. He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. He was very enlightened: “Then Zhihua will be relieved.”
Mu Lan smiled, did not say anything, also did not look at Mu Zhihua one more time, quickly toward the direction of the snow building.
Instead, it was Mu Zhihua who looked at the back of Mu Lan as he left, and his eyebrows and eyes suddenly became cold: “Mu Lan, you wait for me. I won’t let you go.”
These words were almost gnashed out. The fennel on
one side could not help trembling, but did not dare to open his mouth.
She followed Mu Zhihua for many years, too clear Mu Zhihua’s character, the surface looks gentle, but Mu Zhihua’s means do not know how much cruel.
Over the years, several of the slaves in the Mu Mansion have disappeared.
Outsiders can not notice, but fennel is very clear, because when Prince Li Shiyuan arrived at Prince Mu’s mansion, he accidentally took one more look, and these people were silently handled by Mu Zhihua. The
death is tragic, and those who have seen it still have a lingering fear.
Soon, the fennel came to its senses, and in the cold eyes of Mu Zhihua, it immediately followed, not daring to neglect.
But Mu Lan completely did not pay attention to Mu Zhihua, leisurely returned to the snow building.
As soon as she entered the snowfall building, she saw Chen’s housekeeper waiting for her in the building. Behind Chen’s housekeeper stood two women, dressed not like maids in the mansion.
Mu Lan was quiet, and soon reacted to come over, this is before the Chen housekeeper said that the embroidery girl and the tailor, are the people who used to be the first embroidery village in the world.
She walked calmly towards the house. When butler
Chen saw Mu Lan, he immediately respectfully said, “Young lady, you’re back.” With a hum,
Mu Lan glanced at the man standing behind butler Chen. “Who are these two?”
“Miss Hui, these are the tailors and embroiderers I told you about. They’re coming to make your clothes today. Otherwise, you’ll miss the Hungry Ghost Festival.” Housekeeper Chen smiled and immediately explained the whole story.
Mu Lan nodded, but smiled politely at the two embroidery girls. “That’s all right.”
“This is what minions should do.” The two of them were blessed, but respectful.
“What are their names?” Mu Lan asked casually.
“Li Yan, Li Mu.” Chen said, “The slave will retire first and wait outside for the young lady’s orders. When the measurement is done here, the slave will come in again.”
Mu Lan nodded and motioned, and then Chen butler respectfully left, and then carefully closed the door.
Li Yan and Li Mu invited Ann and immediately began to tailor for Mu Lan. The
two men’s movements were very neat and fast, and Mu Lan cooperated, but it was not obvious on the surface. He only casually asked, “How old are the two masters this year?”
Both of them have entered middle age, and their age can be seen from their hair buns and faces.
“Back to the eldest lady, the slaves are already 46 years old.” Li Yan answered on behalf of me.
Mu Lan nodded and turned around to make it easier for the two of them to take measurements. “I heard from butler Chen that you used to come out of the best embroidery room in the world.” The question that was
suddenly mentioned made Li Yan and Li Mu look at each other, but it quieted down. The Li family, the best embroidery house in the
world, was beheaded by the whole family. All the people who could get rid of the relationship with the Li family got rid of it. They were all orphans when they were young. They were adopted by the Li family and stayed in the embroidery house to learn embroidery.
When the Li family had an accident, they were inevitably questioned. It was the Li family who tried their best to bail them out, gave them the valuable things of the Li family, and tried their best to send them out of the Li family, so as to avoid their death.
Before they left, the head of the Li family repeatedly warned them not to mention anything about the Li family to avoid accidents.
So they never mentioned it.
Even if someone saw the clue from the embroidery method, they refused to admit it.
As for Chen butler, born in the palace, naturally see these Seiko line, can guess their origin, it is not surprising, but when the cold was so kissed by Mu Lan, Li Yan and Li Mu are nervous.
“You two don’t have to be nervous. I’m just asking casually.” “I’ve done a little research on embroidery, and I know a little about the Li family’s tailor-made methods,” says Mu Lan. “So I looked at the two techniques, as well as the appearance of the previous Chen butler’s delivery, and the above line. I just asked the Chen butler casually, but the Chen butler didn’t say anything.”
See Mu Lan so explain, two people just relieved tone.
Mu Lan turned a God again, wait for two people to record, she just sat down, looking at Li Mu and Li Yan.
The two men gathered up their tools and then asked Mulan what he wanted: “Young lady, do you have any requirements for the pattern and color?” Look at me
. Housekeeper Chen must have told me about the clothes I want for all kinds of occasions. Since it was Chen’s housekeeper who found me, I don’t think I’ll ever be disappointed. Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly, took a sip of tea gracefully, and his eyes fell on the two of them, but he sank and collected his thoughts.
The two promised, “Yes.”
“On the Hungry Ghost Festival, you need about three to five sets of clothes a day to enter the palace. But in these three to five sets of clothes, I want the embroidery method to be able to make all the objects come alive, just like the butterfly. Although it is on the brocade, no matter from the original or from the near, it must make people feel that it is a living thing. Do you understand?”. Mu Lan explained carefully.
This, let two people quiet, did not speak.
This embroidery method is typical of the Li family’s best means, outside the embroidery room is not not learned, but how can not learn the essence.
For them, it is also much more difficult.
This skill is only passed on to the Li family. The people of the
Li family were already dead when they were all beheaded, and this skill was lost. And the Li family accident is also 30 years ago, now the cold Mu Lan suddenly mentioned, which makes two people a little at a loss.
“Can’t you do it?” Mu Lan asked lightly.
The two men looked at each other, and Li Mu said, “Miss, the slaves are really not members of the Li family. What you’re talking about is the Li family’s unique learning. The slaves can’t do it.” But
Mu Lan smiled and said, “If butler Chen can let you come, then you must have something special, and you can’t get into butler Chen’s eyes.”. And if butler Chen can send you to me, then I ask you to rest assured that you can trust me just as you trust butler Chen.
Mu Lan spoke slowly, but every word was expressed very clearly.
Li Yan and Li Mu stood, two people looked at each other, exchanged a line of sight, but the whole process did not speak, and Mu Lan has turned around, toward the side of the cabinet.
They don’t know what Mulan is going to do, but they can’t leave, and in the end they can only stand so passively.
It was not until Mulan took out a piece of clothing from the cabinet that he came towards them.
“Miss, what are you..” Li Yan twisted her eyebrows and asked Mu Lan. But
Mu Lan calmly said, “If you two don’t know how to do three-dimensional embroidery, then you can take this dress and study it, and then give me a reply.”
The two men did not speak.
Mu Lan has handed the skirt to the front of two people, two people see the embroidery on the skirt, stunned a word can not say, now the market has been completely invisible Li family embroidery method, but now appeared in front of them.
They have learned it, so they can recognize it at a glance.
But they can not learn the essence, this embroidery method to the end of the Li family to personally finish, can finally use such a vivid way to appear in front of the world.
But now, the technique they thought was lost has appeared again.
They are in this line, how can they not see that this material is obviously a new product in the past two years, not something from 30 years ago, so what is going on.
The two men were too surprised to speak.
Mu Lan did not say anything more: “Two masters, I have no other meaning, you can also take this dress back.”. As long as you are willing, someone will be responsible for the final part. If you don’t want to, just do it according to your usual embroidery method. I’m not reluctant.
The voice fell, Mu Lan did not say anything more, waved, motioned two people to leave.
Li Mu and Li Yan, however, were not in a hurry to leave. They looked at each other, but both knelt down in front of Mu Lan. Their emotions became excited. “Miss, can you tell the slave who made this dress?”
Mu Lan took a quiet look, and then calmly said, “The implication is that the two masters are willing.”
“As long as the slave knows who is finishing, the slave will naturally be able to embroider what the young lady wants.” Li Mu-dai answered.
Mu Lan smiled and said, All right. Since this is the case, someone will naturally contact the two masters later, and they will wait for good news.
“The minions have thanked the young lady.” The two men knelt down and kowtowed to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan got up, personally lifted the two, and then sent them out, the whole process did not say a word more. When Hexiang
outside the door heard the noise, she immediately opened the door and saw Mu Lan coming out. “Miss,” she said.
Mu Lan nodded his head. Housekeeper
Chen had already come up and said, “Have you measured it for the eldest lady?”? Did you listen to the young lady’s request? Everything is done according to the requirements of the young lady, and there is no mistake at all, do you know? If you do well, I will be rewarded.
Yes, the slave obeys. The slave won’t let the young lady down. Li Yan and Li Mu answered.
Chen butler nodded with satisfaction.
Mu Lan said politely, “And Lao Chen, the housekeeper, sent the two masters out.”. The two masters have worked hard.
Then, Mu Lan did not say anything, turned and walked towards the house.
Li Yan and Li Mu have also collected their emotions, just as they first appeared in the palace of Prince Mu, quietly.
Soon, Chen butler left with two people.
After butler Chen left, Mulan’s voice sank: “Xiaowu, you come in with me.”
“Yes.” Xiao Wu answered.
Soon, Xiaowu followed Mulan into the house, Hexiang carefully closed the door, Mulan walked into the house before turning to look at Xiaowu.
Xiao Wu asked respectfully, “I don’t know what the young lady wants.”
Small five and small seven to fall snow building also have some days, but Mu Lan has never let two people do anything, but seems to be observing two people’s words and deeds. After all, Mu Lan is now in a much more delicate situation, and she seems to be cautious at every step. Although
Chen butler surrender, but does not mean that Mu Lan will trust Chen butler 100%.
So Chen butler brought people, Mu Lan is a bit careful, never let them touch the event, but with the lotus fragrance personally.
But in this period of observation, Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi, as Chen said, are reliable people, and now she really needs people to go out and walk around, rather than doing everything herself.
Although this is not harmful, but for a long time, after all, it will lead to suspicion, which will be much more troublesome.
And if Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi have two minds, then Mu Lan also has ways to make them disappear from the world.
At least in the present situation, Mu Lan can be sure that they dare not.
Because butler Chen didn’t dare.
And Mulan also knew that he would not give them this opportunity.
Shen Shen, Mu Lan came to his senses and quickly wrote the address of the shop on the note, while the signature at the end was the unique technique of the Li family in embroidery.
Such an expression could not be more obvious. Li Yan and Li Mu will know at a glance.
With the previous skirt, they were surprised to make a decision. When
Mu Lan was still in Gu Fu, Li Ruolan mentioned the Li family more than once, and also said that the Li family exiled people, are the most trusted people of the Li family, if one day, can recover the world’s first embroidery room, it is bound to be these embroidery Niang back.
Mu Lan keeps it in mind.
She put the note into an envelope, sealed it, and handed it to Xiaowu: “Now you go out of the house right away, stop the two masters on the way, and give them the note I gave you. You don’t have to say anything, just come back right away.” As a result,
Xiao Wu hid the envelope and said, “I’m going to do it.”
“Thank you.” Mu Lan nodded his head.
Xiaowu has left quickly.
Mu Lan just looked at the direction of Xiaowu’s departure, not for a moment, until Xiaowu’s figure disappeared, and then lightly took back his eyes.
This, too, kills two birds with one stone.
One is to inform Li Mu and Li Yan to go to the shop to find themselves.
Second, I also tested Xiaowu.
If Xiaowu opens the envelope in private and someone arrives at the shop ahead of time, shopkeeper Wang will naturally find out that she can get rid of the dissidents around her at the first time.
Sink, Mu Lan did not say anything, hide his mind very well.
Less than a cup of tea, Xiaowu has come back to life, Mu Lan nodded, Xiaowu did not say much, immediately returned to the courtyard to suffer.
Mu Lan did not leave the snow building again.
Because from today on, Wang Xueshuang routinely went to the temple to burn incense and eat fast, accompanied by Mu Hongyuan himself, so he was not in the house. Instead, only Mu Lan and Chen Zhirong and two concubines were left in the mansion.
Mu Lan in order to ensure foolproof, when Wang Xueshuang is not in the house, it is bound to be low-key.
After all, now in Mu Wang Fu, the powerful person is Chen Zhirong, not himself. If
Chen Zhirong really finds her own trouble at this time, she will become much more dangerous, so before Wang Xueshuang does not come back, everything Mu Lan will become cautious.
But on the contrary, at the end of the day, everyone was at peace.
Mu Wang Fu is also quiet.
……
At the same time
, Li Yan and Li Mu took the envelope from Xiaowu. They looked at each other, but they didn’t expect that the person Mu Lan said would come so soon. But they didn’t say much. After nodding, they walked towards their embroidery room.
Xiaowu didn’t stay much and soon turned back.
It was not until they returned to the embroidery room that they quickly closed the door of the room and dismissed the embroidery girl inside that they opened the envelope. They are not unfamiliar with the address of the shop
above.
Occupying the best location in Kyoto, but has been vacant, usually open the door, but not much business, many people like to set up shops, but no one can always succeed.
But this is not the place that attracts them, what attracts them is the signature in the lower right corner, which almost instantly fills their eyes with tears and fog, and they can’t say a complete sentence for a long time.
This is the Li family’s unique way of writing, whether in embroidery or literally.
It’s not that you can’t imitate it, but that even pen and broken pen, as long as they come out of the embroidery room of the Li family, you can see the true and false at a glance.
And this fluent handwriting, since the Li family all over the door copy beheaded, they have never seen again. Only those who came out of the embroidery room of the Li family knew the feeling
of tears in their eyes.
And the people who followed Li Yan and Li Mu, more than a dozen elderly embroidery girls inside were all old people who were desperately sent out by the Li family, and they were as loyal to the Li family.
Later received these disciples, and they are the same life experience, even if they did not mention the Li family, but now everything is loyal.
Although the Li family has perished.
They are like festival mice, trying to survive in the cracks.
But they never forgot that one day they could recover the Li family.
And now from the hands of Mu Lan, they saw the Li family’s unique learning and signature, does it mean that there are successors to the Li family, not as they think.
Such an idea, all of a sudden also let two people become excited up. After
two people sum up, Li Mu took the note directly to the address of the shop. When shopkeeper
Wang saw Li Mu in the shop, he smiled and said, “Madam, what are you going to do?”
Li Mu said directly, “Someone gave me the address of the shop and asked me to come here to find someone.” Shopkeeper
Wang quieted down. “Can you tell me who gave you the address?”
I don’t know. Just a note. Li Mu is telling the truth.
“Can I have a look at the note?” Shopkeeper Wang asked with a rigid eye.
Li Mu also did not hide, handed over the note, she did not shy away from the signature above, the signature above can not be seen by outsiders, insiders are only the people of the Li family to understand the mystery.
But shopkeeper Wang took one look at it and returned the note to Li Mu: “The person you want to see will not appear today. If you come back at this time tomorrow, you may see him.” Shopkeeper
Wang recognized that this was the word of Mu Lan.
These days, Mu Lan and shopkeeper Wang are flying pigeons, shops do not seem to operate, but according to the requirements of Mu Lan, step by step. The
natural king shopkeeper can recognize it.
So after seeing Mu Lan’s handwriting, shopkeeper Wang bluntly gave time.
In last night’s flying brother legend, Mu Lan said, tomorrow morning will appear in the shop, and Mu Lan if come, is bound to stay for a day, shopkeeper Wang let people come in the afternoon, naturally can find time and Mu Lan report this matter.
His arrangements have always been thorough.
Li Mu listened to shopkeeper Wang’s words, but did not ask any more questions. After nodding his head, he said, “I have trouble with the shopkeeper. I’ll come back tomorrow.” Shop
keeper Wang nodded and promised.
Then Li Mu left in a hurry.
After Li Mu left, two tall figures came out from behind the screen of the shop.
Mu Zhanxiao looked thoughtfully at the person who had left and said to Li Shiyu, “Your Highness, the person who left is one of the most beautiful women in Kyoto. Many of the clothes in the palace were made by her.”
“The man Mulan is looking for?” Li Shi-yu frowns. “Why is she looking for an embroidery girl?”
This is hard to understand.
Her method of embroidery is very much like that of the lost Best Embroidery House in the world, so the housekeeper Chen says that she is a descendant of the Li family, but she has never admitted it. Thirty years ago, the Li family was full of beheadings, and there were no more survivors. If you admit it, I’m afraid.. Mu Zhanxiao didn’t say the
rest.
If the Li family is still alive, it is the crime of deceiving the king.
The result can be imagined.
Therefore, even if Li Mu is really a descendant of the Li family, it is impossible to admit his identity, so he can only live in a new way and be a man with his tail between his legs.
But why did Mu Lan find Li Mu?
“Because of the Hungry Ghost Festival?” Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth.
Mu Zhanxiao sank: “It doesn’t feel like it.”. I don’t have much contact with Mu Lan, but I can feel the indifference of this person. The excitement of the Hungry Ghost Festival doesn’t seem to be Mu Lan’s favorite.
Li Shi-yu, on the other hand, is interested: “Why is that?”
Mu Zhanxiao was quiet, did not speak, Li Shiyu suddenly looked over, two people’s eyes exchanged in the air, all of a sudden the atmosphere followed dignified up. The reason why the
Li family was exterminated in the past 30 years was because someone was brilliant, and the lost imperial seal was in the hands of the Li family. Even though today’s emperor is also surnamed Li, the land is all Li’s. But the imperial seal as evidence, if the reappearance of the imperial seal, then means to change the Dynasty. That’s why the Li family has been completely silenced. Mu Zhanxiao opened his mouth heavily.
In the heart of the son of heaven, shake their own rivers and mountains and rule, that is naturally would rather kill by mistake, also can’t let go.
But there is no smoke without fire. It is also true that
the imperial seal is gone.
“You mean Mulan is involved with the Li family?” Li Shiyu and Mu Zhanxiao have a tacit understanding and understand the meaning of Mu Zhanxiao at a glance.
Mu Zhanxiao quieted down and said, Mu Lan is indeed the legitimate daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion. But before meeting Mu Wang Fu, his father had never asked about Mu Lan’s situation, including this Gu Fu. And the day before Mu Lan came back, Ku’s family was exterminated. I always felt that these things were too coincidental.
Li Shiyu didn’t speak.
“a coincidence of one thing can be an accident, a coincidence of two things can be an accident, or even a third or fourth thing can be an accident, but when all these things are involved, it’s hard to say.” Mu Zhanxiao explained what he meant, “Mu Lan is a dangerous man.”
“What you mean is that the king should not be too deeply involved with Mulan.” Li Shiyu asked Mu Zhanxiao with a half-smile.
Mu Zhanxiao did not admit or deny it.
Just as Mu Zhanxiao was about to open his mouth, Li Shiyu suddenly said, “Do you know what Mu Lan and Ben Wang said?”
Mu Zhanxiao is stupefied: “I don’t know.”
“The king promised her the position of the fourth imperial concubine, but she refused.” Li Shiyu said, but unexpectedly laughed.
Mu Zhanxiao looked at Li Shiyu with some surprise.
Although Li Shiyu is not as good as today’s princes, or princes born to aristocratic concubines, there is no harm in following Li Shiyu.
Besides, it is the position of the four imperial concubines.
In addition, although Mu Lan is now in the palace of Mu Wang, but compared with the status of Mu Zhihua, Mu Lan is still much weaker, in the first choice, whether Mu Hongyuan or Wang Xueshuang will not stand on the side of Mu Lan, Mu Lan’s final result is still attacked on all sides.
In addition, the draft is just one month after the Hungry Ghost Festival, and Mu Lan must not be able to escape.
If Mu Lan can be favored by Li Shiyu, then for the sake of the late Rong Fei, the emperor will certainly agree to the marriage, Mu Lan is really out of the Mu Wang Fu.
In Yu Wang Fu, definitely better than in Mu Wang Fu.
And Mu Lan actually refused?
This makes Mu Zhanxiao unexpectedly some do not know what to say.
“Do you know what she said to Ben Wang?” Li Shiyu thought of Mu Lan’s words and still sneered.
Mu Zhanxiao shook his head mechanically: “I can’t guess.”
“Mulan says that her goal has never been the present king, but the present crown prince.” Li Shiyu copied the words to Mu Zhanxiao intact.
Mu Zhanxiao: “… …”
Is really completely can not guess, also can not think of, this said, Mu Zhanxiao only feel that Mu Lan is too arrogant, too insolent, such a person in the palace, let alone take ten steps, may take the first step has been silenced.
“So, Ben Wang is really waiting to see.” The smile in Li Shiyu’s eyebrows cooled down.
Mu Zhanxiao could not speak for a while.
But Li Shiyu has already changed the subject: “It will be clear tomorrow why Mu Lan is looking for this embroidery girl.”
“Yes.” Mu Zhan answered.
Then the two men did not talk again.
They stood there for a while before they parted ways from the embroidery room and left separately.
……
The second day.
Mu Lan finished his breakfast and left from the back of Mu Wang Fu in a low-key way.
He Xiang followed closely, seeing that Mu Lan’s behavior was still somewhat disapproving: “Miss, if you leave the palace in private like this, and if the side imperial concubine knows about it, then..”
“Are you going back?” Mu Lan didn’t even look back. “If I could go, I wouldn’t blame you.”
“If the maidservant doesn’t go back, the maidservant will follow the young lady.” “The maidservant is only worried about the trouble that the side imperial concubine will make for the young lady. The side imperial concubine has never been a kind-hearted person, and she is even more vindictive. The young lady has given the side imperial concubine so much embarrassment, and she will not give up.”
“And now that the old lady and the prince are not in the mansion, the imperial concubine is the biggest person in the mansion. If she really wants to do something to you, you can’t do anything about it.”
Mu Lan did not pay attention to the chatter of the lotus fragrance, picked up an apricot on the stall in the morning market, and stuffed it directly into the mouth of the lotus fragrance.
The lotus fragrance lost its voice in an instant and babbled.
Mu Lan paid the bill neatly, and then looked at Hexiang and said, “Eat more, talk less. I have my own judgment on everything.”
The lotus fragrance then quieted down, took the apricot from the mouth, this just no longer opens the mouth, quietly follows Mu Lan to walk toward Kyoto’s most prosperous market.
Until Mulan stopped in front of a shop. The door of the
shop was unclosed, as if it was open, but no one came out to do business.
“Miss, who are you?” He Xiang couldn’t help asking again, “What do you want to buy?”
Mu Lan took a look, and the lotus fragrance was immediately aggrieved.
Mu Lan pushed the door and entered. Then
a servant came out from behind the screen and looked at Mulan. “Miss, this shop is not open. Please go somewhere else.”
Mu Lan is very calm looking at the boy.
The boy was glanced at by Mu Lan, but he was a little nervous, but the surface was always calm.
Mu Lan found a stool and sat down. Then he said lightly, “Let shopkeeper Wang come to see me.”
This is a name.
“I’ll pass on a message to the young lady. May I ask her what she should be called so that I can tell the shopkeeper. As for whether the shopkeeper will see the young lady or not, I can’t decide.”
“Mu Lan.” Mu Lan’s words are concise, and there is no second sentence of nonsense.
The boy nodded and hurriedly disappeared behind the screen.
He Xiang can’t take his eyes off it, but he can’t guess it, but he doesn’t dare to ask more questions, so he can only stand so honestly.
Mu Lan is not impatient, sitting, seriously looking at the environment of the shop. Although
the shops do not sell anything, but it is particularly quiet, and behind the shops is a huge courtyard, and the palace can not be compared, but compared to ordinary people, it is still much more expensive.
After all, in Kyoto, where land is so expensive, it is by no means an ordinary person to have such a piece of land. The people behind
this land, after all, are the four princes of today.
How many people can guess that the person who is in charge of most of the economic lifeline of Kyoto will be the least favored prince of the emperor today.
She had just finished looking at the surroundings of the shop, and the former boy had hurried down, and his attitude toward Mu Lan immediately became respectful: “Miss Mu, you come with me.”
Mu Lan nodded, then stood up and followed the boy up.
Hexiang hurried up with him.
But the boy stopped her and said, “This girl, please wait here.”
He Xiang looked nervously at Mu Lan, fearing that Mu Lan would have an accident, but Mu Lan turned around and comforted He Xiang: “Wait for me here, I will be all right.”
“Yes.” Hexiang didn’t say anything.
Soon, Mu Lan and the boy disappeared in a hurry behind the screen, in the second floor of the wing, Mu Lan saw Mu Zhanxiao said Wang shopkeeper.
The two men exchanged glances, and shopkeeper Wang, an old Jianghu man, said, “Miss Mu, I’ve heard so much about you.”
“Shopkeeper Wang.” Mu Lan just nodded politely. Shopkeeper
Wang is also unambiguous: “Miss Mu can tell me what she wants to do and how she wants to do it. I will go all out and ask Miss Mu to rest assured.”
“Of course I’m relieved.” Mu Lan smiled and relaxed his eyebrows.
She was not in a hurry to open her mouth, but put the words in her mind for a round, and then looked at shopkeeper Wang: “I want two shops, including the courtyard behind the shop, to be tidied up for people to live in.”. As for the shops, one specializes in buying embroidery and the other in selling Rouge and gouache. But everything has to go through my hands, and I don’t want the sources of goods that can be found on the market now. I want to be short rather than excessive. The implication
is that Mu Lan wants the best. Shopkeeper
Wang was surprised. Then he said, “Miss Mu, forgive me for speaking frankly.”. Embroidery, Kyoto good embroidery Niang can be found everywhere, the best embroidery Niang are in the palace to serve the emperor, want to play through this way, it is very difficult. The same is true of Rouge and gouache. Not to mention the distance, just opposite us, we are full of customers every day, and we have contacts with the princes and nobles. The
implication is that Mulan’s proposal is a loss-making business.
Wang shopkeeper in Kyoto’s business circle for decades, naturally know what to do, what not to do, for Mu Lan such a little girl’s request, Wang shopkeeper is certainly not obedient.
Mu Lan is calm, also not anxious to lose his temper: “You do as I say.”. As for Rouge and gouache, I will ask someone to come and debug it in person, which will naturally be better than what I see on the market. As for the price, it won’t drop a cent, and there’s no need for small profits but quick turnover. Shop
keeper Wang raised his eyebrows and waited patiently for Mu Lan to go on.
And this Rouge and gouache is not only for the face, but also for the fragrance. Things are precious when they are rare. Can’t the people behind shopkeeper Wang get these rare things? Mu Lan asked in reply, “If I remember correctly, what the other side said to me is that they must go all out.”
Then shopkeeper Wang quieted down and said, “Miss Mu, if you want anything, just tell me. I’ll do it for you.”
Mu Lan hum, quickly wrote the name of some spices on the note, and then handed it to shopkeeper Wang. Shopkeeper
Wang took one look and said, “Except for one or two of the items, there is nothing unusual in this.” Just
put it together. You prepare the things and the place, and find a good man. I want a reliable teacher, and I will come and teach him myself later. Mu Lan did not say anything more.
His adoptive father, Gu yuanzhi, is a descendant of the ghost hand. He is not only good at using poison, but also very familiar with spices. The spices used by Li Ruolan and Mu Lan are all made by Gu yuanzhi. It’s never seen on the
market.
And Gu yuanzhi also passed on this skill to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan has spent time in all kinds of spices and medicinal materials since she was a child, and what she can make is much more effective than what she sees on the market now.
Nature can win the favor of women, do not worry about making money. Shopkeeper
Wang nodded, “I know. I’ll take care of it for the young lady in three days.”
“As for the Embroidery Room, I want the finest silks and satins. As for the Embroidery Lady, I already know quite well that no outsiders, including shopkeeper Wang, are allowed to enter the backyard of the Embroidery Room without my permission.” Mu Lan’s voice sank, with a hint of warning. Shopkeeper
Wang didn’t ask much: “Don’t worry about that. I’ll make all the arrangements.”
Mu Lan nodded, but there was no other explanation.
At present, step by step, will not be chaotic, impatient to eat hot tofu, besides, Rome was not built in a day. When shopkeeper
Wang saw that Mu Lan had finished explaining, he remembered that Mu Lan had said that she had found the embroidery lady. Then shopkeeper Wang opened his mouth and said, “Miss, yesterday someone took the address written by Miss and came to the upper berth to look for Miss. I’ll ask her to come back this afternoon. You can see if you want to see her or not.”
“See you, of course.” “She’s the one we’re waiting for,” laughs Mulan. Shop
keeper Wang nodded, “Then you wait in the wing. When someone comes, I’ll ask the boy to bring them up.”
Mu Lan nodded his head.
Then she poured tea for herself, took a sip, and did not say much, but quietly waited in the wing for Li Mu and Li Yan to appear in front of her.
Mu Lan and wait for how long, about a wick of incense less than time, shopkeeper Wang has led the people up. When
Mu Lan heard the noise, he had already put on the prepared veil and covered his face. Now is not the right time to reveal your identity.
Mu Lan left himself a way out. The legitimate daughter of
Prince Mu’s mansion is a legitimate identity.
Apart from this identity, all the identities of Mu Lan appear to be cautious, and naturally they will not expose themselves to the public’s line of sight. This is a way of self-defense, in case of an accident, she can also shed her shell.
Every step, Mu Lan is careful. She can’t act so rashly until she gets in
touch with the real enemy and finds out the clues.
After Mulan had put on her veil, shopkeeper Wang’s voice came from outside the door: “Miss, the person you want to see is here.”
“Come in.” Mu Lan’s voice was lowered a few minutes, so that no one could hear the clue.
Then the door of the wing was opened, Li Mu and Li Yan came in, Mu Lan was still sitting quietly in his seat, but when they saw Mu Lan, they were so excited that they almost knelt down in an instant.
“The slave has seen the young lady. The slave has been waiting for this day for a long time.” Instantly, two people’s tears have been forced out.
Mu Lan got up and helped them up. “Aren’t you afraid someone will set you up?”? Did you recognize someone in a hurry?
“Don’t be afraid.” It was Li Mu who spoke. Outsiders can’t imitate that typeface. Only a descendant of the Li family can write it. And outsiders can’t understand it. So the slave is sure that you must be a descendant of the Li family.
Li Mu said tearfully: “When the Li family had an accident, the slaves were sent out overnight by the eldest lady. The next day, the Li family was all killed, but there are always rumors in Jianghu that the descendants of the Li family did not die out, and the eldest lady sent the young lady out.”
This young lady is Li Ruolan, who is also Mu Lan’s adoptive mother.
Mu Lan naturally knows this origin. Although
Li Ruolan did not mention it to Mu Lan, Mu Lan knew very well that Li Ruolan’s greatest wish was to recover the first embroidery room in the world one day.
“Do you know Miss Mulan?” Li Mu suddenly thought of something. “She pointed out that she wanted the Li family’s unique method of embroidery, but we couldn’t do it. When we embroidered the front, it was the eldest lady and the young lady who finished it themselves. Without this finishing touch, it would just be ordinary three-dimensional embroidery.”
“Yes.” Mu Lan did not deny, “You do what she asked.”. Then give the clothes to shopkeeper Wang, and shopkeeper Wang will naturally give them to me. There are a lot of things I can’t do right now. I’ve already told shopkeeper Wang that you should do as I ask.
“The minions must do their best.” Li Mu and Li Yan knelt down and kowtowed to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan said earnestly, When my mother is alive, her greatest wish is to recover the Li family. But I don’t know if it can be done. If you don’t, your life may be in danger, so you should think twice before you act. Let me know when you’re ready. Once you’re in, there’s no turning back.
“Don’t worry, young lady, the lives of the slaves are also saved by the eldest young lady. The slaves have never married in their lives and are orphans. They don’t have any worries. Even if something really happens, they will die without regret.” Li Mu is serious.
Mu Lan’s eyes were slightly filled with fog, nodded, and did not show too much emotion. After
her careful explanation, see Li Mu and Li Yan repeatedly nodded, she was relieved, and then, Mu Lan let the shopkeeper Wang who had been waiting outside the door come in.
After waiting for shopkeeper Wang to come in, Mu Lan once again and shopkeeper Wang carefully explained, this just got up to leave, and did not stay in the shop.
She has things to deal with.
Wang shopkeeper and Li Mu also did not say much, it is Wang shopkeeper personally sent Mu Lan out.
After Mu Lan left, the two men worked according to Mu Lan’s request.
……
He Xiang waited below for two hours before he saw Mu Lan come out, and when he saw Mu Lan come out, he Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but he Xiang didn’t ask much.
She followed Mulan out, Mulan did not take off the veil on his face, but wore it.
“Miss, aren’t you going home?” Hexiang couldn’t help asking.
Subconsciously, the lotus incense looked at the sky, although the sky is not dark, but also in the afternoon, Mu Lan left the palace for too long, the lotus incense always has some uneasy premonition, for fear of any accident.
But Mu Lan said calmly, “I have one more thing to do, and when I finish it, I’ll go home naturally.”
Mu Lan has already opened his mouth, he Xiang is just a slave, naturally it is not easy to say anything, resigned to follow Mu Lan in the market fast shuttle up.
Soon, Mu Lan stopped in front of a hospital.
This hospital appears to be much more deserted, the location is also extremely bad, in the remote alleys of the market, Mu Lan calmly pushed open the curtain and went in.
Hexiang followed carefully. The smell of all kinds of medicinal materials in the
hospital came to my face, and there was only one old master who filled the medicine in the hospital, and not even a doctor could be seen.
But when the old master saw Mu Lan come in, he was surprised and immediately greeted him. “Miss, what’s wrong with you?”? The doctor isn’t in the clinic right now, and he’s gone out, and he doesn’t know when he’ll be back. You can change to another clinic, so you don’t delay your illness.
Hexiang was stunned.
This is the first time that Hexiang has seen the person who turned down the business delivered to her door.
Today, Mu Lan seems to be looking for such people.
On the contrary, it was Mu Lan who took his time, standing in front of the old master: “It doesn’t matter, I’m just here to grab a few herbs.”
“Miss, you say.” The old master is also very cooperative.
Mu Lan quickly read the names of some medicinal materials, are some never heard of medicinal materials, before the calm old master in Mu Lan read out these medicinal materials, the face has changed.
Then his voice sank. “Who is this young lady?”
“Grandpa Feng, do you really not recognize Lan?” Mulan pulled down his mask and looked at Feng Changyang.
Feng Changyang’s face changed, and he couldn’t believe what he had seen. The next moment, he reacted so quickly that he immediately went to the door of the hospital and closed the door, which had been open.
Then Feng Changyang came back and looked at Mu Lan. “Miss, is it really you?”? Am I not mistaken? Are you still alive? The people of Gu Fu.. Feng Changyang couldn’t say the
rest.
That night Gu Fu was bloodied overnight, leaving no one alive, this matter, although no one knows, but does not mean that Feng Changyang does not know.
Feng Changyang is Gu yuanzhi’s confidant, has never lived in Gu Fu, but has been staying in the hospital in Kyoto, is to inquire about the news of the ghost hand, and Gu yuanzhi occasionally came to the hospital to practice medicine.
Most of the time, there is no doctor in the hospital, which makes the hospital seem much more deserted.
But once Feng Changyang put up the sign that the doctor was there, people around him would naturally come to him.
Feng Changyang’s medical center is a very special existence. Gu yuanzhi’s medical skill is superb. Any difficult and complicated disease can be cured here. It can be called Hua Tuo’s life. So when Gu yuanzhi comes, the hospital will become a sea of people.
And now, naturally, there is no news.
But Feng Changyang is not reconciled and still stays here.
But he also did not expect to see Mu Lan in his lifetime, he has Mu Lan also in that disaster of extermination, disappear fragrant jade damage.
“Yes.” Mu Lan was very calm. My father and mother put me in the secret room under the well, and I escaped the disaster. Only later did I realize that I was the daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion.
Feng Changyang nodded, did not expect to be such a fate.
Miss, since you have changed your identity, you should not be here. When the master was here, even the emperor had heard about it. I’m afraid I’ll be implicated again. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, he has spent a lot of money looking for a ghost hand. If he knows your identity, I’m afraid it will be bad for you.
Feng Changyang’s worries are not unreasonable.
The ghost hand had disappeared ten years ago. There were various opinions. Some said that the ghost hand had been killed, some said that the ghost hand had retired to the mountains and forests, and more said that the ghost hand had taken the lifeblood of the Zhou Dynasty from the hands of the present emperor, so that the emperor would pursue and kill it overnight.
But it’s true that the ghost hand is missing.
Mu Lan listened to Feng Changyang’s words and said calmly, “Grandpa Feng, the emperor doesn’t know the relationship between the Gu family and this hospital.”. And my present status does not incriminate me.
“What does the young lady want?” Feng Changyang asked.
I have to go to the palace to find out the truth about the Li family’s beheadings and the restoration of the embroidery room. Only when you enter the palace can you avenge your father and mother. The enemy is in the palace. As for my status, although I can enter the palace, if I don’t have someone who can help me, I won’t be able to move an inch in the palace.
Mu Lan said calm down.
Feng Changyang looked at Mu Lan and became more and more worried. “Miss, I think if the master and his wife are here, it would be best if you could be safe.”. They won’t have too many ideas.
Mu Lan, however, was particularly firm: “There is no reason not to avenge one’s parents.”. Besides, I have a blood debt on my body, so how can I not pay it back. If Grandpa Feng could help me, that would be great.
“You say.” Feng Chang-yang didn’t say anything. “The old slave’s life was changed by the master, and the old slave has nothing to fear.”
The emperor’s health is worrying. If I’m not mistaken, the emperor has been poisoned, and the doctors in the palace can’t get rid of it. This was left to the emperor by Grandpa Ghost Hand ten years ago. That’s why the emperor is looking for Grandpa Ghost Hand. Your Majesty’s illness is bound to break out before the third month, and people will certainly come to look for the world’s famous doctors.
Mu Lan said calmly, “At that time, I asked Grandpa Feng to enter the palace, and I met him in the palace.”. I have a use for the emperor’s life.
Feng Changyang doesn’t know medicine, but Mu Lan does.
Only Mu Lan’s identity is not suitable to come out, but Feng Changyang is the most suitable candidate.
Continue the life of the emperor, not because of pity for the emperor, but Mu Lan wants to delay time, so that the prince has no chance to board the plane, change history.
As for success, Mu Lan did not know, but this is the only way Mu Lan can go.
If you want the prince’s life, you have to do it when the prince has not boarded the plane, and the prince is only half a year away from boarding the plane, and within half a year, the emperor will die.
She wants to delay this period of time and find enough evidence and opportunities for herself.
These, Mu Lan will not say.
Feng Changyang listened to Mu Lan’s words, nodded, and did not ask: “I know, but how to do this?” I’ll go out of the house every
two days, and I’ll stay in the hospital for half a day. You can hang out your name. If Dad can, I can. I can only be better than Dad. The hospital itself is famous, so three months later, when the emperor falls ill, naturally people will come, and at that time, I will also enter the palace, and will not appear in the hospital, and the hospital can be closed as a matter of course. Mu Lan finished his words.
Yes. I will arrange it. The wind rises and the sun rises. The way
he looked at Mulan also changed.
He has not seen Mu Lan, but so calm and calm Mu Lan, Feng Changyang has never seen, in memory, Mu Lan or the little girl who was held in the palm of Gu yuanzhi and Li Ruolan, even though a medical skill and embroidery skills, but still appears childish.
But the two pastures in front of us seem to have experienced great storms and waves, which makes people sincerely convinced.
“Grandpa Feng, forgive Mulan for not being able to stay longer. Take care of yourself.” Mu Lan stepped forward and hugged Feng Changyang.
Feng Chang-yang’s eyes were also a little red. “Miss, you may be the best news for the old slave. The old slave should devote himself to his work.”
“Mulan thanked Grandpa Feng again.” Mu Lan answered.
Feng Changyang did not say anything more, Mu Lan did not stay much, hurriedly left the hospital. The sky
outside had already begun to sink a little. He Xiang waited outside for a while, and when he saw Mu Lan coming out, he followed her. “Miss, it’s getting late. Let’s go home.”
“Good.” Mu Lan answered.
He Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did they bypass the bustling market and walk quickly in the direction of Prince Mu’s mansion.
…… At
the same time
, Li Shiyu and Mu Zhanxiao saw Mu Lan leave the hospital, and then they came out from the dark. They looked at each other, and the confusion in their eyes became more obvious.
“That’s interesting.” Finally, Li Shiyu broke the silence.
Mu Zhanxiao quieted down and said slowly, “This hospital seems to be in the most remote place, and no one has even sought medical advice, but that doesn’t mean it’s not famous.”
Li Shiyu looked over and motioned to Mu Zhanxiao to go on. The doctors
here never make house calls, and even those who come to see the doctor are separated by a curtain, and no one has ever seen the doctor’s true face. But the doctor’s medical skills are very good, and many difficult and complicated diseases are treated here. Mu Zhanxiao explained.
Mu Zhanxiao can know this, because this period of time Wang Xueshuang has been terminally ill, every day seems to be all right, but Wang Xueshuang’s physical weakness is well known, the five internal organs have been aging, just to see when the keeper took people away. It’s
all right now, and it’s all maintained by countless precious medicinal materials.
Mu Hongyuan was naturally very anxious, and the imperial physician in the palace was of no help, so he sought a superior and found Mu Lan to come back. Another one who was mentioned was the doctor of the hospital. It’s not that the people of
Mu Wang Fu have never come to test him, but they have never met him.
But today Mu Lan actually appears here, this only then lets the human feel surprised unceasingly.
“So you think Mulan is here to look for medicine for the old lady?” Li Shiyu knew Mu Zhanxiao’s idea and asked casually.
Mu Zhanxiao did not deny his own speculation. “Mu Lan is a very smart person. She knows very well what she wants. Now in Mu’s palace, she is not really standing firm. It is only a superficial victory. It is impossible to pull out the influence of the side imperial concubine in a period of time.”
“So, she should also know that if she can make her grandmother better, then she can really stand firm, and if her shop outside can make a profit, then it will be like adding wings to a tiger.”
This is Mu Zhanxiao’s understanding.
Otherwise, Mu Zhanxiao couldn’t figure out why Mu Lan suddenly appeared in this hospital.
I even spent a cup of tea in the hospital.
If ordinary people, if they enter the hospital, they will leave after finding no doctor, and Mu Lan obviously did not do so, which makes Mu Zhanxiao think too much.
“Oh,” said Li Shih-yu softly. “That’s what she’s capable of. She can invite people that others can’t invite, and she can handle things that others can’t handle well.
Mu Zhanxiao did not answer, just so quietly standing beside Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu stood with his hands on his back, took a look at the hospital, and then looked at Mu Lan gradually away from the figure, the expression is somewhat secretive, no one can guess what Li Shiyu is going to do.
“Four Your Highness, that” Mu Zhanxiao is asking Li Shiyu.
Li Shi-yu’s eyes sank, and his eyes were filled with ferocity. The palm of his hand, which was standing with his hands on his back, suddenly clenched his fist. Then he opened his mouth sullenly, “Wait and see what happens. If it affects the overall situation, then kill without mercy.”
“Yes.” Mu Zhanxiao didn’t say much.
Soon after the new news came from the hospital, Mu Zhanxiao and Li Shiyu jumped up and hid in the dark in an instant, while the old man who came out closed the door and the hospital was closed.
After Feng Changyang went back, Mu Zhanxiao and Li Shiyu climbed over the wall and left the alley.
As soon as they came out of the alley, they saw the figure of Yung Chiu hurrying up: “My subordinates have seen Your Highness, Lord Mu.”
Li Shiyu nodded his head, and Yung Chiu immediately stood up and whispered in his ear, “Your Royal Highness wants you to go with him to Prince Mu’s mansion.”
Rong Jiu voice fell, Li Shiyu and Mu Zhanxiao looked at each other, soon, Mu Zhanxiao hurriedly disappeared behind the red wall, and Li Shiyu and Rong Jiu went to Mu Wangfu together.
It happened that the Hungry Ghost Festival was approaching, and the relationship between Li Shiyuan and Mu Hongyuan was good.
Before Mu Wang Fu’s family banquet, if not Li Shiyuan is not in Kyoto, it is impossible for Li Shiyu to go on his behalf, no matter how the people in the palace look at Li Shiyu, at least Li Shiyu is also a prince sent in the name of the queen, called the queen is also called a mother concubine. Since there is no one in
the East Palace, Li Shiyu, as a representative, is not inappropriate, representing the empress, and the relationship between the empress and Chen Zhirong is also very good.
So, in this way, Li Shiyuan let Li Shiyu go with him to Mu Wangfu, and there is nothing wrong with it. The figures of
Li Shiyu and Rong Jiu left in a hurry toward Prince Mu’s mansion.
And on the way to Mu Wangfu, Li Shiyu’s thin lips suddenly rose, really some surprise, so soon picked up Mu Lan.
……
Kyoto, Mu Wang Fu.
Lotus incense followed Mu Lan toward the palace of Mu Wang, almost instinctive intuition, when entering the palace of Mu Wang, Mu Lan’s nerves began to become tense.
Even Hexiang said cautiously in Mulan’s ear, “Miss, I always feel that something is wrong.”. The atmosphere is too tense.
“Take it as it comes.” Mu Lan is calm.
Her spine is very straight, the pace also appears to be particularly steady, not because of this kind of atmosphere in the house, let oneself also become embarrassed.
Mu Lan looking for the memory of the last life, naturally also know what happened, the last life, Mu Lan is under the instigation of Mu Zhihua privately out of the house, want to give Wang Xueshuang medicine, the results come back, is facing the punishment of Chen Zhirong.
Mu Zhi painting in the side desperately for their own mercy, Mu Lan firmly believe that Mu Zhi painting is for their own good, that a stick hit on the body of Mu Lan, for a long time so that Mu Lan can not get up.
Also because of this, Mu Lan’s body followed worse up.
For a long time is the state of illness, more let Mu Hongyuan feel bad luck, almost a person locked up in the West Tower, like a completely forgotten by Mu Wangfu.
Only this life, out of the house is her voluntary, so the next thing that can happen, Mu Lan suddenly some uncontrollable up.
Sink, Mu Lan also did not think much, leisurely across the threshold.
When Mu Lan entered the palace, Chen’s housekeeper hurried over and said, “I’ve seen the eldest lady.”
“Housekeeper Chen, there’s no need to pay attention.” Mu Lan motioned to Chen butler to get up. House
keeper Chen stood up, quieted down, and then said, “Young lady, the imperial concubine will let you come over.”
Mulan said, “I’ll be right there.”
She walked toward Chen Chih-jung’s courtyard. The housekeeper Chen followed her, looking at Mu Lan’s figure and carefully reminding her, “You have to worry. If you leave the house without permission, the imperial concubine will probably get angry with you about this.”. You follow the side of the imperial concubine, and don’t start a conflict.
“Lao Chen, the housekeeper, reminds us.” Mu Lan thanked him politely.
If someone else, along Chen Zhirong, there may be a chance of survival.
But she is Mu Lan, Chen Zhirong wish she could get rid of it quickly, how can she make herself so easy to pass, besides, this is Chen Zhirong’s hard-won opportunity.
So big battle array in the house waiting for their own.
Is it bad luck or good luck? Mu Lan sank and didn’t think much about it. Housekeeper
Chen twisted his eyebrows and followed Mu Lan a few steps. In front of Chen Chih-jung’s courtyard, he was stopped by someone at the gate: “Housekeeper Chen, the empress only lets Miss Mu in.”
Chen butler nodded.
He has been in the palace of Prince Mu for decades, and he has never seen any intrigue.
Chen Zhirong wants to do so the purpose, Chen butler is very clear.
Wang Xueshuang will go to Chongguang Temple to burn incense and make a wish at this time every year, and Mu Hongyuan will accompany him personally, leaving Chen Zhirong in charge of the overall situation.
This period of time Mu Hongyuan and Wang Xueshuang like Mu Lan, everyone can see clearly.
They were in the house, and Chen Zhirong could do nothing.
But if they leave, what Chen Zhirong wants to do, it seems easy, wait for Wang Xueshuang and Mu Hongyuan to come back, everything is already late, really what happened to Mu Lan, Mu Hongyuan and Wang Xueshuang can not really take Chen Zhirong how.
So in Chen butler’s view, I’m afraid Mu Lan is doomed today.
But Mu Lan still seems magnanimous and indifferent, as if everything is coming, all seem fearless. House
keeper Chen quieted down and stood outside the courtyard, saying nothing more.
If Mu Lan escaped this disaster, I am afraid that the person in charge of the palace will change hands sooner than he thought, but Chen butler faintly felt that Mu Lan’s goal was not in the palace. For Mu Lan, the people in the
palace are like ants.
Think of these, Chen butler involuntarily hit a shiver.
…… At the
same time
, Mu Lan has already walked into Chen Zhirong’s courtyard. Naturally, Hexiang is also stopped outside. Hexiang looks nervously at Mu Lan. Mu Lan gives Hexiang a calm look: “Wait for me here.”
“Miss..” Hexiang’s heartbeat is very fast.
Mu Lan smiled calmly: “I will come out safe and sound, I promise.”. You just wait for me here.
Hexiang didn’t speak.
Now is not the time to speak, everywhere is Chen Zhirong’s people.
And the lotus incense in the house for a few years, how can not know Chen Zhirong’s personality, in the lotus incense view, Mu Lan this is no return, not to mention before Mu Lan also gave Chen Zhirong so much embarrassment. How
could Hexiang not be nervous.
Her eyes kept looking into the courtyard, but when the door of the courtyard was closed, she could not see anything, and eventually she could only walk back and forth. She couldn’t
even find help. Inside
the palace, Wang Xueshuang and Mu Hongyuan were not there, and Chen Zhirong was the one who could make decisions.
Lotus fragrance is really anxious cold sweat, and then looked at the side of the Chen butler, Chen butler seems to also twist eyebrows, completely helpless to the immediate situation.
It seemed that they had no other way but to wait.
……
And inside the house.
Mu Lan went in and saw Chen Zhirong sitting in the main seat, drinking tea, accompanied by Mu Zhihua, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes with a trace of coldness and sarcasm, as if watching the fun.
Mu Lan, however, didn’t seem to care at all. “Mu Lan has seen the imperial concubine.”
“On your knees!” Chen Zhirong’s voice was much sharper and could not tolerate any resistance from Mu Lan.
Mu Lan just took a look at Chen Zhirong, this is all around Chen Zhirong’s people, she is difficult to fly, but Mu Lan is always not impatient.
On the way here, Mu Lan was suddenly enlightened.
Although some things have changed, but the progress of history is still moving forward, so, in the face of such a situation, Mu Lan is not impatient.
The Hungry Ghost Festival is coming, and Li Shiyuan has already returned to the East Palace.
And every year at this time, Li Shiyuan will personally come to the palace, one is to express the emperor’s invitation, the other is to see Mu Zhihua.
Therefore, when Li Shiyuan came, he was bound to take the people in the palace with him. Even if
Chen Zhirong wants to do anything, at such a time, she can not start, and Wang Xueshuang and Mu Hongyuan will return to the house tomorrow, Chen Zhirong will have no chance.
Mu Lan knew that as long as he was stable, he could now.
And now the soft does not mean to show weakness, but soft to the people in the house and the palace, as for this kneeling, ha ha
, she will let Chen Zhirong a hundred times to repay back.
And Chen Zhirong looks at Mu Lan, always feel Mu Lan is calculating what, but she also never thought, Mu Lan unexpectedly so cooperative kneel down, just kneel down the moment, that straight eye light falls on Chen Zhirong’s body, unexpectedly she had a trace of chill.
Soon, Chen Chih-jung came to her senses and said, “Mu Lan, do you know what mistakes you have made? I want you to kneel here.”
Mu Lan looked at Chen Chih-jung and smiled faintly: “Please make it clear to the imperial concubine.”
Chen Chih-jung looked more and more annoyed: “What a bold Mu Lan! As the legitimate daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion, you have left the mansion without permission. Do you know what will happen?”
“Forgive Mu Lan for not knowing. Mu Lan didn’t grow up in the palace. He doesn’t understand many of the rules of the palace. If he offends the imperial concubine, please forgive her.” Every word of Mu Lan is particularly clear.
Whether it is right or wrong, it has been said by Mu Lan.
Don’t give Chen Zhirong any chance to open his mouth.
Chen Zhirong could not swallow in one breath, Wang Fu’s casual person, in exchange for such a situation, had already knelt down to beg for mercy, but Mu Lan could still calmly explain to himself.
Even in such an explanation, Chen Zhirong did not even have room to fight back, as if she had done something that God could not tolerate.
But Chen Chih-jung is not a fuel-efficient lamp: Mu Lan, even if the old lady gives you the right to make your own decisions, it doesn’t mean that you are allowed to leave the house without permission. Anyone who wants to go in or out of the palace must have my permission, but you don’t have my permission. Don’t you see me as a side concubine when you do this?
Chen Zhirong angrily rebuked Mu Lan.
Mulan remained calm: “Mulan doesn’t dare.”
“What a dare not.” Chen Chih-jung sneered, “Since you’ve made a mistake, the prince has committed the same crime as the common people. As the legitimate daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion, you can’t avoid it.”. I would like to take the place of your father and grandmother and teach you a lesson that you don’t know the depth of heaven and earth.
Mu Lan did not open his mouth immediately, but glanced faintly at Chen Zhirong.
Such eyes, is Chen Zhirong most disgusted, as if not touch the clouds, but can be in an instant, just say, Chen Zhirong can not take back, not to mention this time, Chen Zhirong is going to find a reasonable reason to completely remove Mu Lan.
But before Chen Chih-jung could speak, Mu Lan reminded her with a half-smile, “What does the empress want to do with me?”? It’s also true that the empress needs to think about the time. Otherwise, if my father and grandmother come back, the empress will have a hard time explaining.
“You..” Chen Zhirong’s face changed greatly.
She did not expect that Mu Lan could say everything so clearly, completely without scruple.
It is a kind of dilemma ugly, Chen Zhirong’s hand tightly grasping the side of the handrail, the eyes of the cold also followed more and more obvious up.
Mu Zhihua’s face was also very embarrassed.
She lived to sixteen years old, in the palace, everyone has always been respectful to their mother and daughter, but after Mu Lan came back, everything changed.
Her elegance was captured by Mu Lan.
Chen Zhirong’s power was even deprived, and those who had never been punished were also punished for three days of confinement. What is the rumor of the people in the
mansion? Where can Mu Zhihua not know.
This kind of injustice comes up one by one.
“Mother, you don’t have to be polite to her.” Mu Chih-hua’s voice was soft, but what he said was extremely sinister: “If you clean up, this palace will be quiet.”
Chen Chih-jung raised her hand and said, “Leave the house without permission and hit fifty big strokes again.”. It’s right here. I want to watch and see who else can do anything behind my back.
“Yes.” The bodyguard on one side has come forward quickly.
Mu Zhihua is waiting for Mu Lan to change his face and cry for mercy. As a result, Mu Zhihua did not expect that Mu Lan was still calm and unreasonable, as if the person who was punished was not himself.
So calm, look at Mu Zhihua more and more impatient. What
are you waiting for? Don’t you understand the words of the Empress? Hurry up. Mu Zhihua urged up.
The bodyguard’s hand was already holding Mu Lan, but Mu Lan spoke coldly: “Let go, I am also something you can touch at will.”
The guard was frightened to withdraw his hand. An indescribable
feeling. Self-respect
without anger.
Such momentum makes their feet weak.
That is not sincere guilty, as if really touched Mu Lan, the next second to bring the disaster is their own. Looking at
this picture, Chen Chih-jung became more and more irritable: “It’s going against it.” Then
Mu Lan looked at Chen Chih-jung faintly: “Chen Chih-jung, if you want to kill me, you may not be ready.”
“You..” Chen Chih-jung’s face changed. “What are you hesitating about? Don’t you want to live?”
The bodyguard was suddenly enlightened.
Mu Lan is not impatient to look outside the house, she counted the time in her heart, she is not afraid of Li Shiyuan not to come, because Mu Lan knows that this board can not hit their own body, she can use the mind to control the board, hit Chen Zhirong’s body. I’m afraid she’ll have to rest for a while if she consumes
so much essence.
Mu Lan is worried that the next thing will be delayed.
Now every minute and second, for Mu Lan, is particularly precious.
When Mu Lan slightly twisted his eyebrows, the door of the house was pushed in from the outside, and Chen’s housekeeper hurried in, and Chen Zhirong’s face changed.
Mulan was relieved.
“Tell your concubines that the crown prince and the four royal Highnesses have arrived. Please go out of the house to greet them.” Chen butler finished the words in a methodical way.
Chen Zhirong’s eyebrows twisted up. How did the
prince come so coincidentally.
