Reversing Black and White
Phoenix Nirvana: The Road
to Glory and Favor of the Demon Queen After lunch, Mu Lan took the lotus fragrance out of the door.
She took the lotus fragrance all the way to the market, not impatient, but the lotus fragrance did not say anything, quietly followed Mu Lan, until Mu Lan walked into a teahouse. Only then
did Hexiang ask, “Miss, are you tired of shopping?”? If you want something to eat, the maidservant will prepare it.
Mu Lan smiled, also did not stop, so said a few big week famous small points, and then went into the teahouse, asked for a good private room, just can see the most lively market in Kyoto.
Waiter is also a person who has seen the market, plus this is the most famous teahouse in Kyoto, many of them are distinguished guests, plus Mu Lan’s dress, Waiter did not dare to neglect, immediately gave the private room, Mu Lan went up.
Mu Lan gave the silver reward, and the waiter took it with a smile: “If this young lady has any orders, just tell the waiter, and the waiter will do it right away.”
Mulan smiled and pointed to the door. “Just don’t let anyone bother me.”
“All right.” Waiter immediately turned around and walked out intelligently. Those who
come to this teahouse and really drink tea and eat snacks are all listening to books, singing and commenting in the lobby downstairs, while those who are in the private rooms upstairs are basically talking about important things, so naturally they don’t like to be disturbed, and the waiter knows this very well.
After the waiter went out, Mu Lan looked out of the window.
It was the man who had followed him here since he left the palace.
Mu Lan, of course, recognized that it was Chen Zhirong’s man. How can
Chen Zhirong rest assured that he went out alone, is bound to find some evidence of guilt, so that he has no room to turn over, the surface of kindness is just to regain Wang Xueshuang’s trust and love for her.
Mu Lan sneered.
Looking at the people who followed her all the way, she also wanted to enter the teahouse, her eyebrows and eyes were cold, her hand holding the teacup paused, but the paper she grabbed turned into the sharpest blade, precisely facing the slave who followed her all the way.
Then, Mu Lan drank tea as if nothing had happened.
But there was a scream in the market, the slave had fallen to the ground, the paper was embedded in his neck, the force was just right, the artery kept spurting blood, instantly impregnated a green brick floor. There was a lot of excitement
around, screams and hoofbeats.
But Mu Lan put the curtain lukewarm, so as not to tarnish his eyes with such a picture.
And tidied up the slave who followed him, is to give Chen Zhirong a warning.
Next time, the paper will turn into a sharp blade, pointing to Chen Zhirong’s neck. This is also done in order to avoid future trouble.
After all, no matter how careful you are, there will be accidents. Mu Lan is absolutely not allowed at such a time, out of the slightest deviation.
After Mulan had finished a cup of tea, there was a knock on the door of the compartment. Shopkeeper Wang’s voice said, “Miss, it’s me.”
“Come in.” Mu Lan answered. With permission, shopkeeper
Wang pushed the door and entered.
Mu Lan had long expected that Chen Zhirong would let people follow him, so he let shopkeeper Wang change the place and go directly to the teahouse to meet him. This teahouse is also under the name of Mu Zhan Xiao. Naturally, it is a safe place. With people coming and going in the teahouse, it will not cause any suspicion. After nodding his head,
Mu Lan asked faintly, “What’s the noise outside?” Shopkeeper
Wang, however, was unambiguous: “Someone has died.”. The situation is unknown. The people of the government have come.
Mu Lan hum sound, took the topic directly in the past, what she wants is nothing more than to know this slave is dead. In addition, Mu Lan’s mood did not have any ups and downs.
Wang shopkeeper followed Mu Lan for a period of time, but some understanding of Mu Lan’s temper, know that Mu Lan do not want to talk about this matter, he immediately changed the topic. Shop
keeper Wang carefully told Mu Lan truth about the progress of the shop.
Mu Lan listened quietly, occasionally looking up at shopkeeper Wang, but the questions asked were sharp, which made the standing shopkeeper Wang sweat.
Such a feeling will only appear in the face of Li Shiyu.
But in front of this sixteen-year-old girl, but let the shopkeeper Wang have a chilling feeling.
He admired and feared Mulan, admiring that Mulan could organize everything in the shortest possible time and convince people to follow her. The fear is that Mu Lan’s thin eyebrows and eyes, when suddenly twisted down, is indescribably cruel.
As if the next second, you will be in such eyes, scared all over the cold sweat. I dare not neglect for
a moment.
Until Mu Lan asked, shopkeeper Wang really had the feeling of collapse, subconsciously waved his hand to wipe the sweat stains between his forehead, and immediately sat down with a straight face.
“Miss,” shopkeeper Wang quieted down. “Over there in the Rouge and gouache shop, can connections of the four lords get through to these imperial relatives in Kyoto? But over here in the embroidery room, don’t you have any requirements?”
“Let the embroidery ladies work according to my requirements first. As for business..” Mu Lan quieted down. “After the Hungry Ghost Festival, it’s natural to come.” Shop
keeper Wang was stupefied and did not know what was going on. There was not much difference between
the embroidery room and the shop at first. It was not very open for business, and even occasionally the half-open door was sent away when someone came.
Who dares to come here?
But Mu Lan can swear to say these words?
But shopkeeper Wang did not doubt Mu Lan’s words, and immediately answered respectfully, “The slave knows.”
Mu Lan nodded, but smiled at shopkeeper Wang. “Thank you.”
“This is what a slave should do.” Shopkeeper Wang nodded.
Then, shopkeeper Wang did not face Mu Lan again, quietly left the compartment, Mu Lan picked up the teacup on the table, but found that the tea was cold, she did not continue to touch, but put the teacup down, re-opened the curtain, looked out of the window. The mess
outside the window had already been cleaned up, and the bodies of the slaves who had died before had been removed. The lively crowd of onlookers dispersed.
Mu Lan looked at it for a while, and his low eyebrows and eyes hid a deep meaning.
After shopkeeper Wang had left, Hexiang came in, still in shock: “Miss, the man who died earlier was a slave of the palace, and the people of the Yamen didn’t dare to deal with this, so they told Wang Yeh to go.”
Mulan said, “I know.”
“Aren’t you curious?” He Xiang went on to say, “That’s the man of the imperial concubine. How could the man of the imperial concubine suddenly be killed in the market?”. Didn’t you slap the imperial concubine in the face? The maidservant heard from the people below that when the Yamen people came to the door, the prince’s face was very ugly, too.
Mulan still sat quietly until Hexiang finished speaking. Then he looked up at Hexiang and said, “Does this matter have anything to do with us?”
“No.” Hexiang shook her head at once.
“Since it doesn’t matter, why should we ask so many questions?” Mulan put down his teacup and stood up.
Lotus fragrance thinks also, she nods, stand up immediately, follow Mu Lan to walk out.
As he left the teahouse, he asked, “Miss, are you going home?”
“No.” Mu Lan answered.
But Mu Lan did not explain much, the pace of the rapid shuttle in the streets of the capital up, as if all of this is particularly familiar with.
He Xiang also did not ask much, some laboriously follow Mu Lan.
She felt that Mu Lan’s feet were too fast, and that the daughters had to waste a lot of strength to take a step, while Mu Lan’s walking could almost be described as vigorous walking like flying.
Mu Lan seemed to notice, too. She slowed down and looked at the lotus with a smile. “Are you tired?”
“It’s the young lady who left too fast.” He Xiang looks at Mu Lan with a sense of grievance. “People who don’t know think that the young lady has practiced peerless flying skills.”
Mu Lan scraped the tip of his nose and said, “I don’t know if it’s true.”
“The young lady was teased by the maidservant.” Hexiang is a little embarrassed.
Mu Lan did not say anything, but the pace is to follow the slow down, the lotus fragrance did not follow the effort, until Mu Lan stopped, the lotus fragrance stunned a word can not say, looking at Mu Lan, she felt Mu Lan crazy.
“Miss, this is not where you should be.” He Xiang said hurriedly, “If this place is known by the people of the palace, not to mention that the imperial concubine will not let you go, the old lady and the prince will not let you go.” What is
all this.
This is the most famous brothel in Kyoto, Wangxianglou. It doesn’t look much different
from other teahouses. It’s quiet during the day, but once it comes to night, it’s brightly lit. It’s definitely the busiest place in Kyoto. The children of the rich and powerful in
Kyoto. Who hasn’t been here.
And this Wangxianglou is not a silver can come in, Wangxianglou has many rules, the guests inside are almost all famous people in Kyoto.
Don’t say Mu Lan can’t get in.
Even if Mu Lan went in, in case he accidentally offended someone, he would really be out of pocket. People
here can’t afford to be offended.
Things are going to be big, and Mu Lan’s fate can be imagined.
“Miss, let’s go back quickly. You can’t go to this place. Besides, you can’t get in.”
With these words, he Xiang pulled Mu Lan to go back.
Serve Mu Lan this period of time, the lotus fragrance to know, Mu Lan nothing dare not do, she looked at Mu Lan’s eyes appear to be cautious.
Mulan smiled and said, “We have to go into this place today.”
He Xiang: “… …”
Hexiang, go back to the shop and wait. Don’t follow me. It’s too dangerous inside. If you follow me in, it will hinder me. I’ll be out in about an hour or two. Mu Lan calmly explained, and then she looked at the lotus fragrance.
He Xiang was very nervous. She was so nervous that she shivered all over. Her voice stammered: “Little..” Miss..
“Listen to me. I’ll definitely come out two hours at the latest. If I don’t come out, then you can ask shopkeeper Wang to come and find someone and say that something happened to me in Wangxiang Building.” “If you don’t calm down, if something really happens to me, who will save me?” After
letting Hexiang take a deep breath, she answered, “The maidservant knows.”. But miss, this place..
“I have to go.” Mu Lan’s eyes did not have any dodge, every word is particularly clear.
She knew that she could not persuade Mulan, so she finally told Mulan again and again to pay attention to safety. Then she looked at Mulan and looked at the ordinary but heavily guarded Wangxiang Building behind her. She couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, how can you get into this place?”
Mu Lan smiled and said, “The mountain people have their own tricks.”
Then Mu Lan did not explain much to the lotus fragrance, urging the lotus fragrance to leave, watching the lotus fragrance out of the safe range, Mu Lan turned around, in the afterglow of the sunset, looking at the luxurious Wangxianglou, low eyebrows and eyes, hiding a deep meaning.
Inside the dragon pool and tiger’s den, she must break through.
Mu Lan knows very well that Mu Zhantian raised a woman in Wangxianglou, and this woman is Mu Zhantian’s confidant, almost placed in Wangxianglou, wandering between these dignitaries, making shady deals.
And these people who are related to the present Prince Li Shiyuan are in and out frequently. The evidence that
Li Shiyu wanted was also in Wangxianglou.
In other words, the master behind Wangxianglou is the present prince, so Wangxianglou can be so tyrannical in Kyoto unimpeded, and the reception of guests are also these dignitaries. The people
inside are all great masters.
To get the evidence, Mulan must go in.
And Mu Lan is also very clear, not to mention whether to get the evidence, but even if you get it, this evidence, Mu Lan can do nothing, but also need to give Li Shiyu, in the right time, place and people, take it out, in order to smoothly drag down Li Shiyuan.
Last life, Mu Lan did not know whether Li Shiyu got this irrefutable evidence.
But Mu Lan was between the beds and had no intention of learning the secret.
Shen Shen, Mu Lan gathered her eyebrows and eyes, she was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the door of the guard handover, smoothly into the Wangxiang building.
Wangxianglou is almost an iron wall, even the girl inside is one in a million, even no less than harem of three thousand beauties, will only be more flirtatious.
Men have always liked women who are dissolute, not those who are reserved in the palace.
And the iron wall of Wangxianglou, only on this day every month can you enter at will, which is also the time when Wangxianglou chooses the flower queen once a month. Wangxianglou is not the only brothel
in Kyoto.
But in this circle of women, in the end all want to be able to look at the fragrant building, win the first prize in one fell swoop, take a rich and powerful son to see the eye, take back to be a concubine, also better than a lifetime in this quagmire.
After all, the elimination of this industry is too fast. When you are old, you will be useless.
And Wangxianglou also contains this way, so every month there will be new rotation, and this day of the month, is the most lively and crowded time, but also naturally the most dangerous time.
The more dangerous it is, the greater the probability of getting evidence.
And Mu Lan did not intend to succeed tonight, but in the face of such a situation, Mu Lan is very clear that he must first go in, understand the situation in Wangxianglou, there is the possibility of further action.
Just like, who is the woman of Mu Zhantian?
This is the last life, Mu Lan has not touched at all.
So Mu Lan also appears to be cautious.
She stood in the dark for a long time, until her ears were filled with laughter, which was that the girls who had chosen the flower queen tonight had already filed towards Wangxianglou.
These people, the Mammy of Wangxianglou, naturally had already found out before they could be put in.
Mu Lan watched quietly and waited patiently.
Until the last person passed by, Mu Lan suddenly forced, directly pulled the person to the dark, the other side almost exclaimed, but also tears shining.
I was obviously scared.
Mulan covered the veil, but there is no mercy, she knocked the other side directly, and then dragged to the dark, quickly pulled out the other side’s clothes, quickly changed, naturally mixed into the team.
“What’s the matter, dilly-dallying?” The guard at the back door shouted angrily. Wearing a veil,
Mu Lan’s voice was very low: “The pace of the slave family is a little slow, but please take care of it.” The
soft voice is very flattering to men.
Plus Mu Lan’s clothes, and today’s special, the guards did not think much, waving some impatient to urge Mu Lan to hurry up, Mu Lan quickly entered the Wangxiang building.
They went through the back door.
But even in a place like the back door, the details of Wangxianglou are exquisite and luxurious.
After a group of people, Mulan still stands quietly in the crowd, the veil is still wearing, after entering the wing to dress up, the veil will be removed. And these girls are not Wangxianglou people, dressing also depends on their own, only to stay smoothly, there are special slaves to serve.
Mulan did not speak, she was carefully observing the surrounding environment, thinking about the escape route afterwards.
But Mu Lan’s eyebrows soon twisted up.
She underestimated Wangxianglou.
This is the window of Li Shiyuan’s evil trade, which is naturally seamless, where even a fly can not fly out, let alone a person, any place that may leave, are layers of guards.
Mu Lan sank, but he was not anxious. In
front of the girls stood a charming Mammy, who shook her fan and said in a shrill voice, “All the people here today are nobles. You can’t afford to offend them, and I can’t afford to offend them either. So you listen to me. Don’t make any noise or cause any trouble in Wangxianglou. That’s killing without mercy.” The
girls were obviously frightened and shivering, and did not dare to talk in a low voice.
You have come with your veils covered because you do not want to be seen by passers-by. Back to the house, each packed up, the veil also gave me off, waiting for the notice to come one by one. Whoever gets the flower queen tonight will be able to stay in Wangxianglou, or he will be chosen by the master, or he will go back where he should go. “Do you understand?” Cri
ed Mammy.
“Do you understand?” The girl’s soft voice came.
Then someone led the girls to the rooms on the second floor. Naturally, the girls could not have one room, but they were crowded in the same room and dressed up together.
Mu Lan followed quietly, without any sound.
From my ears came the charming laughter of the front room, and the sky outside had gradually begun to darken. The lanterns of Wangxianglou were hung up, almost instantly, and the guests were full. When
Mu Lan walked to the corridor, he glanced out of the corner of his eye. Sure enough, all the people who
filed in were the powerful people in Kyoto.
But these people, in Mulan’s view, were not on the table, and she soon noticed that there was a delicate wing on the periphery of the corridor.
But the window of the wing is facing the hall outside. The people
here are what Mu Lan pays attention to.
Just where would that piece of evidence be?
Mu Lan did not have time to think carefully, they have entered a huge dressing room, who did not talk to anyone, just dressing themselves, for fear of being a few points worse than others.
Mu Lan did not scramble, so he sat in the quietest seat.
Then, she quietly took out the human skin mask from her sleeve, which Mu Lan had previously asked shopkeeper Wang to prepare and take to the teahouse for herself.
The human skin mask is as thin as a cicada’s wing. If you are not an insider, you can’t see the mystery at all, and you will not suspect that it is a fake face.
Mu Lan raised his wide sleeves and quickly put the mask on his face.
Looking at the bronze mirror, the familiar face disappeared, and what appeared was an enchanting face, charming but not gaudy, the amorous feelings in the eyebrows and eyes, but it happened that men were most greedy for one.
After confirming that the human skin mask was safe and sound, Mu Lan put down his wide sleeves and made up carefully in front of the bronze mirror. The people in
this room are from different brothels, not many people are familiar with each other, Mu Lan so mixed here, no one noticed the difference.
But the people in the room, after gradually getting familiar with each other, could not help talking.
Mu Lan was still quiet and silent.
It was not until the sound of music and Mammy’s urging came from outside that the girls stood up, and the girls, who had previously looked stiff, opened up a lot, and every move was a scene.
Mu Lan watched quietly, always quietly. There are 16 girls
tonight.
Mammy glanced, and finally her eyes fell on Mu Lan, but her voice did not change: “Are you Ruochu?”? You’re last in line. What are you good at? Put it all together with the musicians.
Mammy’s eyes were naturally vicious.
At a glance, I already knew that this beautiful woman with beautiful figure and face tonight, who was obviously a flower girl, but stood here, but looked very different, would win the first prize, and the people present would bid the highest.
In this case, Mammy will naturally let Mulan be the finale. “The slave family obeys Mammy’s orders,” said
Mu Lanfu.
Mammy’s face slowed down, apparently particularly satisfied with Mulan’s reaction. This is a teachable person. This is also in line with Mu Lan’s requirements.
The later she appeared, the more she could walk around here and feel the situation in Wangxianglou clearly. The girls
around heard Mammy’s words and sneered at Mulan. Mu Lan does not take it seriously, the calculation in the eyes of these women, in front of Mu Lan is nothing.
She has nothing to fear.
Soon, the first girl came on the stage, and there was a lot of applause outside, and people had already appeared in the wing on the second floor.
Mu Lan can name all these people.
Some are Li Shiyuan’s confidants, some are Li Shiyuan eager to win over people, some are completely neutral people, but Mu Lan also some surprise, unexpectedly can see today’s nine princes Li Shili.
Mu Lan has an impression of Li Shili, because Li Shili has always been neutral, and has always been the person Li Shiyuan is eager to win over, because Li Shili’s mother is the daughter of the prime minister of three Dynasties, her family in the court is also the same status, or even can be said, is no less than background of the queen.
But it happened that Li Shili was indifferent, had no interest in such a thing, and never stood in line.
Also because of this, after Li Shiyuan ascended the throne, for Li Shili, he just let him go to the south of the Yangtze River, rather than exterminate.
So did Li Shiyu also secretly associate with Li Shili like this?
Mu Lan can’t figure it out.
But Mu Lan is very clear, see Li Shili, must Li Shiyuan will also appear, sure enough, in the next moment, Li Shiyuan has also appeared, two people nodded, walked into the same compartment.
Mu Lan’s eyes were confiscated.
Until Li Shili suddenly turned around and looked over, Mu Lan came to his senses, but did not dodge, but smiled gently at Li Shili, nodded, and then calmly stood in the crowd, waiting patiently.
Li Shili lowered his eyebrows and eyes.
Li Shi-yuan noticed, “Does Brother Jiu like anyone?”? The king has heard that there are so many beautiful women in Wangxianglou, and when I saw them today, they were really extraordinary.
Li Shiyuan’s attitude is the first time to come to Wangxianglou. Although
the big week did not explicitly prohibit princes and officials in and out of such occasions, but everyone will be relatively low-key, nothing is good, something spread out, that is, the black gauze cap on the head can not be kept.
Naturally, everyone can act.
“None.” Li Shili opened his mouth lightly.
Li Shiyuan also did not mind, took Li Shili to go in, until the door of the wing closed, Mu Lan just looked back. It’s really lively
tonight.
And the shouts of the front hall, the sound of musical instruments, one after another, is even more prosperous.
It was not until it was Mulan’s turn that Mammy lowered her voice and said to Mulan, “Dance well.” “The slave family knows,” said
Mu Lanfu, “and Mammy Hsieh has given me some advice.”
Mammy nodded.
And the music has sounded.
It’s not a difficult song, and it’s not a problem for Mu Lan. This is probably the previous choice of Ruochu. Mu Lan stepped on the beat and came out leisurely.
Enchanting figure, delicate appearance, but also almost in an instant on the Bo full house of applause. Don’t
the other girls look good? No, one is more beautiful than other.
It’s just that no one can be like Mulan.
Obviously in such an occasion, but it gives people the feeling of mud but not dyed, everything around seems to be a foil of green leaves, but only on the stage, the most bright peony, gradually blooming.
Even the previous shouts were followed by quiet down, Wangxianglou people dare not breathe, for fear of being missed every move of Mu Lan.
Such a reaction in the eyes of Mu Lan, although she is smiling, but there is no trace of joy, even with disgust.
The last movement fell, Mu Lan gasped slightly, but there was deafening applause in the building, and the cheers were constant.
Even the people in the private room on the second floor could not help exclaiming.
Li Shili’s eyes never moved away from Mu Lan.
Li Shili’s indifference doesn’t mean he doesn’t know people. This woman is by no means a Wangxianglou can have, but why will appear in Wangxianglou, Li Shili did not open his mouth.
But Li Shi-yuan looked at Li Shi-li’s eyes and smiled, feeling rather pleased: “If Brother Jiu likes it, the king will have someone call this girl up.”
Li Shili didn’t speak. When
Li Shiyuan realized that this had been done, he turned around and told the people behind him. Then he went on to say, “The fourth brother will come later. It’s just in time. We three brothers haven’t had a drink for a long time.”
“Fourth Brother is coming too?” Li Shih-li was somewhat surprised. “Didn’t the fourth brother go to work under orders from his father?”
“Just returned today.” Li Shiyuan explained.
Li Shili nodded, but also did not say anything more, his eyes still fell on the stage not far away, Mu Lan is still standing there, the shouts under the stage more and more obvious.
In the current beauty, all the face and decency are no longer the focus.
Mammy was even more beaming.
It was not until Li Shiyuan’s bodyguard came that Mammy became cautious. The bodyguard whispered a few words in Mammy’s ear, and Mammy immediately nodded.
Then she looked at the people present and said, “All right, gentlemen, Miss Ruochu has been taken in today. The girls in Wangxianglou will not let you down. Please forgive me.” The man in the
front hall didn’t say anything.
Can enter Wangxianglou, naturally also know the 369 here, no matter who is the flower queen, can be seen by the people above the wing, is the final decision.
And the people in the upper wing, they can not guess who they are today, but their position is absolutely beyond their reach, and naturally no one is foolish enough to compete with the people above.
Naturally, Mu Lan was taken away by Mammy.
Tonight’s result is in Mu Lan’s anticipation, but Mu Lan did not expect that it would be so easy to enter the upper wing.
On the way to the wing, Mammy reminded Mu Lan, “You can’t offend the gentlemen above. Don’t make trouble for me. You can do whatever the gentlemen tell you to do. If you serve them well, you will rise in the world. If you don’t serve them well, you won’t be able to live today.”. Did you hear that?
“The slave family heard it.” Mu Lan’s voice is soft.
Mammy is still talking all the way, but Mu Lan’s mind is not in Mammy’s words, but thinking about how he can leave. It seems to be impulsive
tonight.
But now such a situation, can only get up and take it, she can only find a way to get away, anyway, this face is a fake face, as long as you can escape here, no one in Kyoto can find themselves.
If she can’t get out, she’ll be in real danger tonight.
Quiet, Mu Lan followed Mammy toward the second floor of the wing, her palm has gradually clenched into a fist.
It was not until Mammy brought Mulan to the door of one of the most exquisite private rooms that she said, “Go in. The gentlemen are waiting for you inside.”
Mu Lan hum. Just
as Mu Lan was about to push the door open and enter, Mammy suddenly knelt down and said, “The slave has seen the fourth Master.”
Mu Lan turned to see Li Shiyu, Mu Lan startled, obviously did not expect to meet Li Shiyu here, and Li Shiyu is obviously in a hurry, see Mu Lan, eyes sank down.
For a moment, Mu Lan felt that Li Shiyu recognized himself.
But Mu Lan soon calmed down, her face has changed, is not Li Shiyu familiar face, Li Shiyu can not recognize their own.
Soon, Mu Lan was also blessed: “If I had seen the Fourth Master for the first time.” On the body of
Li Shiyu’s Mu Lan, the voice is deep: “Newcomer?”
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered.
Mammy immediately explained obsequiously, “Fourth Master, this is tonight’s flower queen. She has a bright future.”. The Second Master took a fancy to him at the first sight, and he let the slave send him up.
Li Shiyu hum, and behind the head also did not return to walk toward the wing.
Mulan was relieved.
Li Shiyu didn’t recognize himself.
Soon Mu Lan walked into the wing. She was blessed and said, “How many masters have you seen in the slave family?”
She naturally recognized the people present, but in such an identity, Mu Lan must pretend not to know, after all, the face of the son of heaven today, it is impossible for everyone to know, not to mention, or now Mu Lan’s identity.
Li Shi-yuan looks at Mu Lan and smiles: “Tonight’s flower queen is really extraordinary. Tell me what else you can do.”
“Guzheng and Yangqin.” Mu Lan lowered his head and answered in a low voice.
“Go to the zither.” Li Shiyuan ordered.
Soon, the slaves sent the zither up, but the position of the zither was on the side of Li Shili, just in the middle of Li Shili and Li Shiyu.
Mu Lan took a look, also did not say what, cleverly toward the position of the zither.
Soon, the melodious sound came.
Mu Lan did not look at the people present, but seriously played the piano, she did not listen to the conversation in the room, just thinking about how to leave.
After all, Li Shiyu and Li Shili, Li Shiyuan can not say anything, she can not get what she wants.
Leaving here is the best policy.
Only occasionally, Mu Lan can feel Li Shili’s eyes, not aggressive, but with a bit of interest.
Li Shili is the most indifferent person that Mu Lan knows, until Li Shiyuan ascended the throne, Li Shili did not set up the imperial concubine. But after Li Shiyuan sent Li Shili to the south of the Yangtze River, he forced the people of his own faction to be by Li Shili’s side, which became Li Shili’s imperial concubine.
The name is the imperial concubine, but in fact it is the supervisor.
And time goes by minute by minute, Mu Lan did not get any chance to leave, the original calm face can not help but become anxious, said not nervous is false, but the surface is not obvious.
But such anxiety, Li Shiyu can clearly feel out.
He looked at Mu Lan’s eyes, more and more heavy and cold. The people
present could not recognize Mu Lan, but Li Shiyu knew it clearly. When
Li Shiyu arrived at the shop, he had already heard Hexiang hurriedly telling shopkeeper Wang that Mu Lan had gone to Wangxianglou. This time, Li Shiyu’s face changed.
He asked the lotus incense in a harsh voice, the lotus incense did not dare to hesitate, said the cause and effect, but Li Shiyu is also very clear, he can not get any favorable news from the lotus incense.
Mu Lan this person, always careful, not sure things will not say.
And she can let the lotus incense account for the shopkeeper Wang, which means that Mu Lan can’t know what’s going on when she enters Wangxianglou.
That’s it. This woman came here without permission.
Is really not afraid of death, or do not know the secret of Wangxianglou, Li Shiyu does not think it is the latter. How could Li Shiyu not know the purpose of
Mu Lan’s entry into Wangxianglou.
If the evidence is so easy to get, then Li Shiyuan has already been reversed, rather than still in the crown prince position, no one can shake.
As a result, Mu Lan, a woman who did not know the depth of heaven and earth, came to this place alone.
So Li Shiyu did not want to appear in Wangxianglou for the first time, but he knew that Li Shili would come tonight, so he appeared appropriately.
Otherwise, when Li Shiyuan was in Wangxianglou, Li Shiyu would not appear to avoid accidents. Although the master
behind Wangxianglou is Li Shiyuan, but Li Shiyu is also buried eyes, Li Shiyuan is so cautious, how can people easily find out the flaw, at least in recent years, Li Shiyu knows that there is movement in Wangxianglou, but every time after getting clues, things have already been transferred.
So Mu Lan can find it out in one night.
Li Shiyu’s face gradually cooled down.
……
Mu Lan is still playing the zither, one song after another, Li Shiyu is silent, occasionally catering to Li Shiyuan a few words, but also in Li Shiyuan’s dialogue, Li Shiyu can see that Li Shiyuan intentionally pushed Mu Lan to Li Shili’s side, beauty has been the most useful thing since ancient times. If
Li Shili had not been moved, Mu Lan could not have appeared here tonight.
At this point, Li Shiyu looked down upon Mu Lan. It seems that no matter what kind of face, as long as it is the place where Mu Lan has been, it will inevitably cause a great disturbance.
He sank and sneered, intending to teach Mu Lan a lesson.
Mu Lan collected himself and quietly played the music. After a few songs, Li Shiyuan looked at Mu Lan and said, “Well played, I appreciate it.” Blessed,
Mu Lan smiled and said, “Thank you for your gift.”
“Your face is pleasing to people, and your every move is appropriate. If you stay in Wangxianglou and take good care of this master, you will naturally be in good stead.” Li Shi-yuan said lightly, “Go and sit there.”
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered cleverly.
Then she walked toward Li Shili’s position, sat down quietly, and poured wine.
Li Shili gave a hum.
But Li Shiyuan looked at Li Shiyu and said, “Fourth brother, why don’t you go somewhere else?”
“That’s natural.” Li Shiyu nodded with a smile.
Li Shiyuan promotion took a look at Li Shili, Li Shili face does not change color, although he is weak by nature, does not mean that Li Shili does not understand the matter of men and women. And the woman in Wangxianglou, Li Shili is also a mirror, can play, but can not be brought back to the house.
What should be done, what should not be done, Li Shili points clearly.
Soon, Li Shiyuan and Li Shiyu got up and left.
But when Li Shiyu left, he glanced at Mu Lan out of the corner of his eye. His eyes were heavy and terrible, just like an endless black hole. The deep meaning was directed at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan also only slightly twists the eyebrow, very quickly ignored such look in the eyes.
And tonight’s thing, can not go on, her purpose is naturally impossible to achieve, next time, to teach people to enter Wangxianglou, after all, such a thing, for her, it is still a little difficult.
After two people left, Li Shili’s hand was very natural to embrace and pinch Mu Lan’s chin, let Mu Lan look at himself.
“How old are you?” Li Shili asked carelessly. “Seventeen,”
Mu Lan answered casually.
“Who taught you to play and dance?”
“Mammy found a musician and a dancer to teach her.”
“Do you know why I kept you here?”
“The slave family knows.”
……
Not impatient, not slow, not slow, but calm posture. Li Shili’s eyes fell on Mu Lan’s body, and Mu Lan did not dodge.
Just Mu Lan is looking for an excuse, no matter how bad, she can drug Li Shili.
This is no longer a place to stay.
Suddenly, the long corridor, which had been quiet, made a noise, followed by a burst of noise and smashing, followed by screams. Li Shi-li’s face changed, and the guards outside the door quickly protected Li Shi-li in front of him: “Ninth Master, leave here quickly. There’s an accident outside.”
Li Shili twisted his eyebrows and looked at Mu Lan again, but Mu Lan seemed to be frightened and shivering.
Obviously, I have never seen such a scene.
There is a moment of heart, Li Shili want to take Mu Lan away, but the final calm, so that Li Shili did not stay more, but quickly left here. Mulan was the only one left in the
wing.
Mu Lan’s eyes were sharp in an instant.
She looked out of the window, the original orderly scene but a riot up, do not know who caused the trouble, the front hall of the people left one after another. For the first time, such a riot took place in Wangxianglou, which had
never been like this before.
Mu Lan also did not expect, more can not guess who did it. Today
, Li Shiyuan’s position in the court, who can shake, who dares to run wild on the chassis of Li Shiyuan?
But Mulan knows very well that this is the best time for him to leave.
She did not hesitate, quickly took off the body of the dance skirt, but inside is a black suit, completely integrated with the night. Half of the camouflage on
his face has been removed to avoid causing trouble.
Previously, all the way in, Mu Lan was particularly familiar with the terrain of Wangxianglou.
As Mu Lan flashed out of the wing, Li Shiyuan’s voice snapped: “Arrest the women in the room and leave them alive.”
Mu Lan quickly reacted that the woman was talking about herself. Has
her cover been blown?
Mu Lan quickly recalled a previous move in the wing, absolutely impossible. Unless
Mu Lan came to his senses, he would soon understand. She was anxious to enter Wangxianglou, afraid of missing the time, naturally it is impossible to carefully clean up the original owner outside, and she was trapped here for too long, the original owner woke up is bound to cause trouble.
But this is not a trouble for Mu Lan, at least he got a chance to go out.
Mu Lan no longer think much, quickly hide in the crowd, and those dressed in strong bodyguards mixed into one, want to take advantage of the chaos to escape here.
But Mu Lan did not expect that Li Shiyu’s calculation could be so precise that even if Mu Lan’s face suddenly appeared among the bodyguards, all the people would be aware of it at the first time.
Even though Mu Lan is not a woman’s dress now, it is impossible for them to distinguish the identity of Mu Lan.
But there is no doubt that Mulan is an intruder.
“There! Catch him! I want him alive!” Someone snapped.
All the people around Mu Lan quickly rushed past, Mu Lan’s kung fu again Gao Qiang also can not be in such a group of big inside the master, smooth escape.
Mu Lan’s face changed, and the surroundings were almost airtight. The people who
had been in the front hall were evacuated one after another.
While Mu Lan was thinking about countermeasures, suddenly, a thick fog in the front hall dispersed, instantly making the people at the scene become confused.
In the midst of the confusion, a pair of strong hands clasped Mulan’s wrists, and a deep voice said, “Come with me.”
Mu Lan one Leng, temporarily failed to come to his senses, but clasped the strength of Mu Lan’s wrist is particularly powerful, dragging Mu Lan toward another direction to hide. The
sudden thick fog made Li Shiyuan more and more irritable. Such a thing has never happened before.
Li Shiyuan could not believe that the accident in Wangxianglou would be a prostitute once a month.
“Seal off the whole building and dig three feet into the ground to find someone for the king. The king doesn’t believe anyone can escape from here today.” Li Shiyuan opened his mouth angrily.
The guards were scattered.
Li Shili and Li Shiyu were escorted by the bodyguards to leave here at the first time of the incident.
But as soon as Li Shiyu got into the carriage, he looked in the direction of the House of Incense, and then ordered Rong Jiu in a deep voice: “The carriage is heading in the direction of Prince Yu’s mansion. Don’t let the prince’s people find out.”
“Your Highness, you..” Rong Jiu looked at Li Shiyu a little.
“The king will be all right.” Li Shiyu did not say much, taking advantage of the night, re-mingled with the crowd.
Rong Jiu did not dare to stay much, and immediately set up a carriage and sped all the way in the direction of Yu Wang Fu.
Li Shiyu returned to Wangxianglou.
Tonight this accident, Li Shiyu also obviously did not expect, he guessed, I am afraid also beyond the expectations of Mu Lan, Mu Lan has always been a step-by-step person, probably did not calculate that Li Shili would take a fancy to Mu Lan, also did not expect Li Shiyuan would appear.
Only then did he trap himself in Wangxianglou and could not leave.
Li Shiyu should not have meddled in this matter, but eventually Li Shiyu took the risk to return to Wangxianglou.
He told himself that if Mu Lan was really caught, now he and Mu Lan’s involvement, may not be able to drag himself into the water, such a risk, Li Shiyu can not take.
So he came back.
……
Mu Lan was led by someone in the thick fog, and there was still noise outside. Go
all the way to the backyard of Wangxianglou, a relatively quiet corner, the smoke has dispersed, the other side just let go of Mu Lan’s hand. Only then did
Mu Lan see each other clearly.
In an instant, Mu Lan’s face changed.
She never thought that this life was to meet Long Shaoyun in such a way. Long Shaoyun is the son of the late General Long. He is also a brave and skillful fighter in Dazhou. Where Long Shaoyun is, the enemy is basically afraid and will never take the initiative to invade, because the three words Long Shaoyun represent invincibility.
Therefore, Long Shaoyun also guards the frontier of Dazhou all the year round to ensure the peace of Dazhou.
But every year on the Hungry Ghost Festival, Long Shaoyun will return to the palace.
The last time I saw Long Shaoyun was on the Hungry Ghost Festival. I was ridiculed and left out in the corner. Only Long Shaoyun accompanied me like a person who had nothing to do.
And that time, Long Shaoyun stayed in the general’s office in Kyoto for a long time, long time in and out of the palace, after Mu Lan entered the palace, every day at the palace gate, Mu Lan can always see Long Shaoyun. Overnight
, some emotions are born quietly.
Mu Lan never noticed that it was not until Long Shaoyun was released by a cup of wine for himself and then put into prison by Li Shiyuan that Mu Lan knew what Long Shaoyun had done for himself.
But it was too late.
Mu Lan came to his senses from such a mood and looked at Long Shaoyun. His eyes twinkled for a moment, and then he collected himself: “Thank you for saving my life.”. I can’t thank you enough. This is not a place to stay for a long time. Please leave as soon as possible.
Mu Lan did not call Long Shaoyun’s name, pretending as if he had never known him.
And now they really don’t know each other. As a
result, Mulan was surprised. Long Shaoyun looked at Mulan quietly and then said, “Miss Mu, Wangxianglou shouldn’t be the place where you came.”
Mu Lan was stunned. Why does
Long Shaoyun recognize himself?
Obviously they have never seen, Mu Lan can be sure of this, but why can Long Shaoyun blurt out his name, even in the face of such a transfiguration, Long Shaoyun can also recognize his identity.
She was sure that her transfiguration was perfect, unless she was very familiar with someone who recognized herself from the details.
But now?
But Lung Shao-yun had no intention of explaining. “Over there is the back kitchen,” he said calmly. “Now it’s a mess here. Where is the only way out? Miss Mu leaves there. Don’t appear in the Wangxiang Building again. Do you hear me?”
His voice, with a hint of warning, looked at Mulan.
But Long Shaoyun’s eyes are still paying attention to the surrounding environment, here is safe, not absolutely safe, and soon the guards will be besieged here.
Long Shaoyun must send Mu Lan out at the first time, and then find a way to escape.
And here, for him, is not a place to stay for a long time.
He could not arouse Li Shiyuan’s suspicion either.
After all, Long Shaoyun has not yet returned from outside the pass, and will not return to Beijing until three days before the Hungry Ghost Festival.
Seeing that Mu Lan did not move, Long Shaoyun directly pulled Mu Lan’s hand: “Hurry up.”
Mu Lan is passively led by Long Shaoyun, listening to the sound behind him, Mu Lan also did not hesitate, quickly toward the door.
Two people just go out of the back door of the kitchen, the pursuer behind seems to have discovered the abnormality here, immediately turned around and chased over.
Long Shaoyun had not had time to push Mu Lan out, but a sword suddenly fell in front of two people, Long Shaoyun’s eyes sank, Mu Lan also startled.
Li Shiyu did not know when to appear in front of two people, but he just lightly swept Long Shaoyun, and finally the eyes fell on Mu Lan’s body.
“What should the king call you?” Li Shiyu asked word by word.
Mu Lan was silent.
Long Shaoyun half knelt and did not speak.
Li Shiyu’s sharp blade almost touched Long Shaoyun’s neck, as if the next second, the blade would pierce Long Shaoyun’s neck mercilessly.
At Li Shiyu’s Blade Building, Mulan said quickly, “No.”
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan’s eyes a little heavier. The sound of footsteps
behind him was getting closer and closer, and Li Shi-yuan’s voice followed: “Live to see people, die to see corpses.”
At the moment of approaching footsteps, suddenly Li Shiyu forcefully lifted Mu Lan up, silently crossed the high wall, and quickly disappeared into the twilight.
Long Shaoyun jumped up and left silently at the moment when Li Shiyu took Mu Lan away.
Just to see the direction of the two people left, Long Shaoyun’s eyes sank, unable to say whether it was greed or other emotions, and soon, he gathered his emotions and disappeared into the twilight.
When Li Shiyuan arrived at the door, it was empty outside. There was no sign of the people
to be rounded up.
“You losers.” Li Shi-yuan snapped, “Where are the guards here?”
“Dead.” Someone found the body of the guard and immediately reported, “Your Highness, the other side is very familiar with the inside of Wangxiang Tower, otherwise, it is impossible to escape our pursuit.”
Mu Zhantian had already learned the news and hurried over. Seeing this, his expression darkened. He immediately knelt down and said, “Your Highness, I should be punished for what happened tonight. But I can’t stay in Wangxianglou. I’m afraid there are already spies in Wangxianglou. Otherwise, how can we escape from our siege?”
Mu Zhantian made a quick judgment. The master
behind Wangxianglou is Li Shiyuan, but Wangxianglou is managed by Mu Zhantian. Mu Zhantian was far more aware of the situation in Wangxianglou than Li Shiyuan.
This sudden accident, let Mu Zhan Tianxin alert.
Mu Zhantian was not a foolhardy man, otherwise he could not have become Li Shiyuan’s confidant.
And they are grasshoppers on a boat, no one can have an accident, but if there is a little sign of trouble, Mu Zhantian will choose to completely destroy here, rebuild a new place, will not stay in Wangxianglou.
Li Shi-yuan hummed: “Clean it up.”
“I will obey the decree.” Mu Zhantian answered quickly.
Li Shiyuan’s eyes were still heavy: “Tonight the people dug three feet into the ground for the king to find out, but the king wanted to see where she could escape to in the huge city of Kyoto.”
That beautiful woman, Li Shiyuan was really surprised.
But Li Shiyuan also does not suspect that this person is in the dark for a while to collect their own evidence of the group of people, and Wangxianglou has been infiltrated, this Wangxianglou is not left.
Soon, Mu Zhan ordered people to set fire to Wangxianglou, almost overnight, Wangxianglou was in flames, and all the splendor was destroyed in an instant.
Together with the clues that appeared, they were completely destroyed with Wangxianglou.
Li Shiyuan soon left in a hurry.
Mu Zhantian packed up all the things before he left without a sound.
On the second day, Wangxianglou caught fire. It was an accident caused by carelessness in the kitchen. It was also officially declared closed. The time for choosing a job will be notified separately.
This matter was handled cleanly by Li Shiyuan, quietly turning the page.
……
And at the same
time Li Shiyu directly with Mu Lan all the way back to the shop, the whole journey, Li Shiyu’s face has not eased, gloomy to the extreme. When shopkeeper
Wang saw Li Shiyu and Mu Lan coming back together, he wanted to come forward to pay his respects, but suddenly he saw their ugly faces, and shopkeeper Wang was somewhat surprised.
With Li Shiyu for such a long time, he had never seen Li Shiyu so angry.
More often, Li Shiyu hides his emotions very well. In the eyes of outsiders, Li Shiyu is the gentle, elegant and harmless Yu Wang Ye.
Not what it looks like now, like a Shura from hell.
“No one is allowed to come up.” Li Shiyu turned around and ordered shopkeeper Wang sullenly word by word. Shop
keeper Wang did not dare to breathe, repeatedly promised, and then retreated to one side, eyes and nose, nose and mouth, dare not look at Li Shiyu and Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was almost dragged to the wing on the second floor by Li Shiyu. The wing on the
second floor is not open to the outside world, except for the office on weekdays, there are also places to rest. In the past, Li Shiyu would rest here late, so the wing on the second floor is almost complete.
Mu Lan endured, thought of his disguise in front of Li Shiyu, and finally could not do anything, looking at his wrist, has been pulled by him, and even began to swell up.
Does this man never know how to take pity on a beautiful woman?
“Oh,” Mu Lan snorted.
Li Shiyu has unceremoniously thrown Mu Lan on the bed, Mu Lan back hit the bed board, the spine was hit by the raw pain.
Her face changed.
Before he could react, Mu Lan’s jawbone had already been pinched by Li Shiyu. He didn’t give Mu Lan any chance to struggle at all. His voice seemed to come from his throat, depressed but with a trace of forbearance: “Mu Lan, are you tired of living?”? Don’t want to die? So impatient to go up and deliver the head?
Mu Lan stubbornly kept silent.
You think you’re brilliant? Do you think you can play anyone around? Do you really think Li Shiyuan is a brainless person who lets you do whatever you want? You’re just like that. Don’t say you want the crown princess position. You’re already dead before you have a chance to get close to Li Shi-yuan.
Li Shiyu every word with thorn, completely impolite looking at Mu Lan, that look, as if to kill Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was pinched and could not say a word. What are you
going to Wangxianglou for? You think the woman raised by Mu Zhan Tian is inside, so you can get the evidence naturally. If it’s really so easy, do you think the shadows that Ben Wang has raised over the years are all ornaments? You can do whatever you want alone, so why should you commit yourself to the palace of Prince Mu?
Li Shiyu was so angry that he couldn’t be more angry. The
strength in the hands are inevitably tightened, but Mu Lan stubbornly refused to open his mouth, even without begging for mercy.
And Li Shiyu knows very well that if he has more strength, Mu Lan’s mandible can be completely broken.
Even so, Mu Lan did not say anything.
“Hehe,” Li Shiyu sneered, and then suddenly withdrew his hand. He was afraid that he could not control his irritable mood at the moment.
Mu Lan got free, also did not dodge, just struggled, sat up from the bed.
This matter is my own impulse. She underestimated the situation in Wangxianglou, even if she knew that the master behind Wangxianglou was Li Shiyuan, she never thought that the security in Wangxianglou was so tight that even the people inside were familiar with every face.
Except for the dancers who come once a month to choose the flower queen.
These are all underestimated by Mulan.
Naturally in such an underestimation, will let today’s things step by step wrong, if not for the sudden appearance of Long Shaoyun, and Li Shiyu conveniently let himself go, I am afraid that the person who died in Wangxianglou tonight must be himself.
Involved in Mu Wangfu, Mu Lan was indifferent, she knew that Mu Wangfu’s people also had a way to get away.
And she can’t do anything.
This is Mu Lan’s regret.
So in the face of Li Shiyu’s reprimand, Mu Lan did not open his mouth to refute, in Mu Lan’s view, wrong is wrong, she will not evade.
“And now are you satisfied?” The coldness on Li Shiyu’s face became more and more obvious. “The king worked hard to lay out, and that evidence will soon be available. You stirred up the situation like this, and the whole Wangxianglou was burned down. What do you think you can get?”? Next time, do you think you can get away with this?
「……」 What does
this mean? The previous layout was all destroyed in a moment, and everything else had to be done all over again. What Li Shiyu said word by word could not be better.
Mulan’s fine white teeth bit his lower lip and never refuted a word.
Such a state, looking at Li Shiyu more and more angry, he sneered, suddenly turned around, the whole person pressed up.
Mu Lan was caught off guard by Li Shiyu. She was shocked: “Li Shiyu, what are you doing?”
Mu Lan called Li Shiyu by his first name. The coldness in
Li Shiyu’s eyes has never been relieved: “Mu Lan, in Dazhou, you were called Ben Wang. Do you know what the crime is?”.
Mulan said directly, “a capital crime.”
Li Shiyu gave a sneer and looked at Mu Lan with a heavy look in his eyes. “The king sees that your courage is getting bigger and bigger.”. I don’t care if my name is Ben Wanggu, but do you know what will happen if you enter Wangxianglou as a girl?
“Don’t worry about it.” Mu Lan did not shy away from Li Shiyu’s eyes. “I have my own way to come out.”
“By what? Is Long Shao-yun cooperating with you from within?” Li Shiyu suddenly mentioned Long Shaoyun.
Mu Lan’s eyes finally had a slight change, and she quickly denied: “It has nothing to do with General Long.”. Your Highness does not need to implicate innocent people.
“You really care about Lung Shao-yun.” Li Shiyu sneered and became more and more sarcastic.
Mu Lan did not speak.
“Mulan, the king warns you for the last time. If you want to play, the king can accompany you. But if you do something wrong, the king will let you know what the result is.” Li Shiyu’s voice was heavy and terrible, and he looked at Mu Lan with a warning.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu, from the beginning of entering the wing, was suppressed by this person step by step, so that Mu Lan almost breathless, that kind of suffocation has been endured to the limit.
Had it not been for the fact that he did not want to expose himself too much in front of Li Shiyu, why should Mu Lan compromise now.
This grievance overwhelmed Mu Lan, who almost blurted out in the next second: “Your Highness is worried about not being imprisoned.”
“Don’t worry about the capital?” Li Shiyu looked sharply at Mu Lan, “Mu Lan, even if the king doesn’t know how much you’re hiding, do you know the gap between men and women in certain things?”
Mu Lan was stunned.
Before she could recover
, she heard the sound of her clothes breaking, which turned into fragments in Li Shiyu’s hands and fell down in front of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan had no time to cover his bare skin in the air.
Li Shiyu had already pasted it up, her eyes filled with anger, and her cool lips kissed it rudely, not the first time she kissed Mu Lan, but before it was more with the meaning of banter and flirtation, not now, with punishment and rudeness. The way
a man treats a woman.
Mu Lan is not a good man and woman, in the last life, she also had the pleasure of fish and water.
But in such a thing, Mu Lan is passive, the initiative has always been Li Shiyuan, and even Li Shiyuan later, it is simply to make Mu Lan pregnant.
There is no such thing as pleasure and excitement.
But now Li Shiyu thoroughly let Mu Lan feel the temperature and sensory stimulation that he had not experienced at all. The place where
his big hands swim, with thin cocoons of finger pulp, can always make the skin appear goose bumps. The temperature
outside is very low.
Even if there is a heater in the wing, in the case of honesty, Mu Lan still can not help but tremble, cold and hot handover, eyebrows are slightly seeping thin sweat.
In such a passive and awkward, Mu Lan is not reconciled, but there is no way to take Li Shiyu, even if luck, but also seems to be unable to push Li Shiyu, this person is punishing and warning himself. It’s not
that Mulan doesn’t know.
Under such layers of pressure, Mu Lan endured, and the unruly and arrogant in his bones were thoroughly stimulated. Her eyes also gradually cold down.
But Mu Lan’s movements are not as sharp as her eyes, but more feminine, not like a 16-year-old girl to be married.
She suddenly chuckled, looking at Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu heard Mu Lan’s light laughter, twisted eyebrows and stopped the movement in his hands.
Then in Li Shiyu’s accident, Mu Lan took the initiative to embrace the neck of this person, slightly hard, Li Shiyu stuck to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan’s every movement is enchanting and incomparable, completely unlike a person who is not human, but a woman who has experienced hundreds of battles.
Li Shiyu’s eyes became complicated.
From the first sight of Mu Lan, Li Shiyu knew that Mu Lan was not simple, a daughter of Wang Fu who lived outside, what had she done in the past ten years.
He is an experienced person, too clear that a woman can walk to such enchanting figure and bewitching eyes, is to experience how many men.
So? The gloom in
Li Shiyu’s eyebrow eyes is also obvious.
But in the face of Mu Lan’s initiative, that is a man’s instinct, Li Shiyu’s Adam’s apple trembled, black and hard hair hung down, brushed Mu Lan’s cheek.
Mulan’s silvery laughter came, and the red and swollen lips, which had already been kissed, came up on their own initiative. Their voices were all soft: “Your Highness, do you want Mulan?”
Li Shiyu did not speak, but the action in his hand gave Mu Lan best answer.
The original punishment, seems to be in such a desire to refuse also to meet, gradually the tone of the cavity out of the board changed, even the air in the wing is gradually condensed, two people’s eyes meet place, is the fire.
Li Shiyu has never met such an uncontrollable woman. You can’t
even figure out what she’s going to do in the next second.
At least today, Li Shiyu thought that he would wait for Mu Lan to cry for mercy, but what he didn’t expect was that he was waiting for Mu Lan to take the initiative to cater to him, and even in such catering, the absent-minded person became him.
Some are caught off guard, but more is a sense of freshness that has never been seen before.
“Hmm?” Mu Lan and close to a few minutes, has not yet completely removed the makeup of the red lips gently printed on the cheeks of Li Shiyu, the voice instantly numbing people to the bone.
Li Shiyu’s tone slowed down: “What are you doing?”
The voice just fell, suddenly a sharp blade was pulled out from under the pillow, against the position of Li Shiyu’s neck to the artery.
Mu Lan’s eyes are less charming when he first seduced himself, and more cruel.
“I don’t want to do anything.” Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu coldly. “Mu Lan remembers the saving grace of His Royal Highness.”. But four your Highness don’t forget, Mu Lan also saved four your Highness, this matter is even. Your Highness and I are still the bridge to the bridge, the road to the road, and do not interfere with each other. As for what I’m going to do, Your Highness doesn’t need to interfere. Whether it’s life or death, it’s also my responsibility.
Her words were direct, and she looked at Li Shiyu’s eyes without any emotion.
Even Mu Lan did not mind his nakedness at the moment, and had already sat up, with the sharp blade still against Li Shiyi’s neck. It’s not soft
at all.
Even in such strength, Li Shiyu’s neck has been slightly oozing blood, but this person has never changed color, Mu Lan also do not let go.
The two men were deadlocked and fighting.
Suddenly, Li Shiyu reached out and hugged Mu Lan. Mu Lan was startled. The blade in his hand was thrown out subconsciously and fell to the ground, making a violent sound.
Li Shiyu’s lips bit up again.
Yes, a punishing bite, no mercy. The blood that
gradually permeated the neck was stained on Mu Lan’s skin, and she clearly tasted the blood.
Mu Lan thought Li Shiyu was crazy.
But the atmosphere that had calmed down before, but the gun went off in an instant. Mu Lan desperately resisted, but Li Shiyu’s hand clasped Mu Lan’s wrist. At the
critical moment
, Li Shiyu loosened Mu Lan.
Also in the moment Li Shiyu loosened Mu Lan, Mu Lan’s hand raised a slap, mercilessly hit Li Shiyu’s face, her big mouth breathing, looking at Li Shiyu, eyes heavy terrible.
Had it not been for the last reason to pull Mu Lan, Mu Lan really felt that he would kill Li Shiyu in this second. How could
Li Shiyu not feel it? He looked at Mu Lan with an expressionless face. “Mu Lan, a person who doesn’t know martial arts can’t have such great strength. The king is waiting to tear your disguise a little bit.”
Mu Lan said that not upset is false
, but in the face of Li Shiyu, Mu Lan did not mean any compromise, nor did he avoid the eyes of this person, in response to Li Shiyu is Mu Lan’s short cold laughter. The
atmosphere was deadlocked to the point that it could not be more deadlocked.
Li Shiyu paid no more attention to Mu Lan and said in a cold voice, “Put on your clothes and go back to Prince Mu’s mansion.”. Ben Wang doesn’t want to see you on any occasion that he shouldn’t see. If he does it again, Mulan, you know very well what the result will be. Until your wings are strong, you are neither qualified nor able to compete with the king.
With that, Li Shiyu turned and walked away.
Mu Lan looked for the spare clothes he had brought before with an expressionless face, and the previous clothes had already been destroyed by Li Shiyu.
Looking at Li Shiyu’s departure, Mu Lan’s only regret was why he had to save Li Shiyu on the way back to Mu Wangfu. Is it
just because of the jade pendant?
Bastard.
Mu Lan tidies up oneself, sneer at, this just went downstairs quickly.
Ho-hsiang waited nervously, pacing back and forth. When she saw Li Shi-yu coming downstairs with a calm face, she immediately knelt down and said, “The maidservant has seen Your Highness.”
Li Shiyu looked at Hexiang and said, “Hexiang, you should follow your master and use your brain. You don’t know where to go and where not to go. Your master didn’t grow up in the palace. Don’t you know either?”
Ho-hsiang’s face turned even paler with fear. “Forgive me, your Highness, but I can’t persuade the young lady.”
“If you can’t persuade him next time, don’t blame the king for being heartless.” Li Shiyu warned Hexiang.
Hexiang did not dare to say a word, kneeling, but also the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, until Li Shiyu left the shop, Hexiang collapsed the whole person soft on the ground.
Even shopkeeper Wang, who usually looked calm, stood silent. It was only after
Li Shiyu had gone out that shopkeeper Wang looked at Hexiang and said, “Hexiang, your master is really awesome.”
He Xiang’s face was baffled, and before he could recover from the panic of Li Shiyu, shopkeeper Wang went on to say, “Miss Mu is probably the only one who can provoke the four royal Highnesses into such a rage and still be alive and well.”
He Xiang: “… …”
In fact, in Mu Wang Fu, Mu Lan in addition to the side of the imperial concubine when a room will be particularly ferocious, most of the time, Mu Lan gentle as water, the treatment of people and things is appropriate.
As a result, he Xiang thought so, and Mu Lan had already walked down from the second floor.
Mu Lan’s face was particularly gloomy.
Frightened lotus fragrance is not dare to say a word.
It was not until Mulan reached the stairway entrance that shopkeeper Wang and Hexiang looked at Mulan at the same time. As a result, shopkeeper Wang did not expect that Mulan was so angry, but under such circumstances, he could calmly give orders to himself. Let the second elder brother send out
the Rouge and gouache, the famous dancer, the famous lady in Kyoto, but only give the trial part, and then wait for feedback. In addition, some of the nuns in the palace who put on makeup for the empress also tried to pass it over.
Mu Lan ordered word by word, and then she looked at shopkeeper Wang: “As for Mu Wang Fu, let someone send it to me, not Mu Zhihua. Do you understand?”
“The slave obeys.” It took shopkeeper Wang a long time to come to his senses.
Mu Lan said, “I will come here one after another these days. I won’t come here again a few days before the Hungry Ghost Festival.”. If Li Yan and Li Mu need anything, you can handle it as much as you can. If you can’t handle it, the flying pigeon will send me a letter.
“Yes.” Shopkeeper Wang answered.
“Wangxianglou was burned down tonight. The capital will not be peaceful these days. The prince’s people will be searching. After all, I escaped from Wangxianglou. Although the probability of being found is very low, you still have to be more careful. If you find something wrong, stop everything.”
Mu Lan could not have ordered shopkeeper Wang more calmly, as if the previous thing had never happened. Shop
keeper Wang nodded repeatedly, and then Mu Lan left the shop in a hurry with the lotus fragrance from the side door. She really shouldn’t risk leaving at this time, but she won’t go to Mu Wang Fu. The night is too long, and she doesn’t know what else will happen.
Some things seem to be completely out of control.
Wang shopkeeper sent Mu Lan all the way out of the shop, Mu Lan is much more careful, lotus fragrance closely behind, the atmosphere dare not breathe.
When the two arrived at the back door of the palace, Mulan pushed the door open and entered. When butler Chen saw Mulan, his face changed and he immediately came up to meet him. “Miss, you’re back.”
“How are things in the mansion?” Mu Lan asked calmly.
“The wind is calm.” Chen gave the answer, but after a quick pause, he said, “There was an accident at the market today.”
Mu Lan hum, did not say anything. Chen butler saw Mu Lan did not say anything, finally to the mouth of the words also followed to swallow down, personally sent Mu Lan back to the snow building.
“The slave will retire first, and the young lady will rest early.” Chen butler said respectfully.
Mu Lan nodded, and then the slender figure disappeared in a hurry behind the door, Chen butler then turned to leave.
This night’s Mu Wangfu was peaceful.
…… In the
next few days
, there was a lot of talk about the burning of Wangxianglou in Kyoto. There were all kinds of versions. The storytelling in the path and the teahouse also talked about the burning of Wangxianglou.
Also because of the burning of Wangxianglou, this period of time Mu Zhanxiao did not have time to come to Mu Wangfu.
Chen Zhirong changed the strategy, but the treatment of Mu Lan is less sharp, a little more tender, just like a caring elder of the younger generation, everywhere is intimate to Mu Lan.
Even Mu Zhihua has kept his place a lot.
But Mu Lan caters to the surface, but does not waver in private. Apart from going to Wang Xueshuang as usual every day to pay his respects, Mu Lan seldom leaves the palace. Instead, he stays in the snow building and does not go out of the door.
Perhaps the situation in Kyoto these days is tense, shopkeeper Wang’s flying pigeon biography has stopped, after all, Li Shiyuan in a thorough investigation, even if the content of the flying pigeon and Wangxianglou has nothing to do, but Mu Lan does not want to take the slightest risk.
On the contrary, Mu Zhanxiao, who seldom came back, unexpectedly lived in the palace for a while.
Mu Lan saw Mu Zhanxiao, is in Wang Xueshuang that, Mu Zhanxiao is silent listening to Wang Xueshuang say things, occasionally answer.
Even when he saw Mu Lan, he seemed to have never been familiar with Mu Lan, but only nodded politely, and his eyes never stayed on Mu Lan.
Mu Lan did not break the situation. Coming back
from Wang Xueshuang, Mu Lan took the lotus fragrance back to Luoxuelou.
As a result, Mu Lan appeared in the snow building, saw Mu Zhanxiao sitting on a stool in the room, quietly drinking tea, in the moment Mu Lan came in, Mu Zhanxiao looked at the past.
Hexiang is a little nervous.
Mu Lan looked calmly at Hexiang and said, “You go out first. I have something to say to my second brother.”
“Yes.” Hexiang dare not disobey.
But before going out, he Xiang could not help but look at the house a few more times.
Some time ago, the lotus incense has a lingering fear, although the three aunts do nothing, behave themselves, but this Mu Zhan Xiao cold to find Mu Lan, or let the lotus incense tremble with fear.
She doesn’t want anything to happen again.
She looked at the closed door of the Snow Tower, but it was quiet inside, and no argument could be heard. Mu Lan in the
room
sat down opposite Mu Zhanxiao, not in a hurry to open his mouth, but quietly picked up the tea that Mu Zhanxiao had poured for himself, gently sipped it, and then drank it slowly.
It was not until the teacup bottomed out that Mu Lan put down the teacup and looked at Mu Zhanxiao: “What wind blew my second brother to me today?”? The second elder brother came to me so brazenly that he was not afraid to turn around and think about the second elder brother. He felt that the second elder brother and I had something to be ashamed of.
“Nondescript love?” Mu Zhanxiao suddenly spoke.
Mu Lan did not swallow a mouthful of tea and coughed a few times before he recovered. In
her memory, Mu Zhanxiao has always been an unsmiling man, not to mention a joke. But now Mu Zhanxiao is a little surprised to Mu Lan. Before
she could react, Mu Zhanxiao was already looking at Mu Lan with a straight face: “Now it’s very natural for you to borrow the hand of shopkeeper Wang to arrange things for me.”
“The second brother is joking, but Mulan doesn’t dare.” Mu Lan deserves some hypocrisy.
Mu Lan and Mu Zhanxiao are not familiar with each other, and naturally it is not a joking relationship.
And Mu Zhanxiao or Li Shiyu’s people, in other words, Mu Zhanxiao appeared in front of himself, is the meaning of Li Shiyu.
Think of Li Shiyu to do their own bastard things, Mu Lan’s face cold down, naturally not too much feeling, it is impossible to have any good temper to Mu Zhanxiao, but she pressed anger, did not get angry at Mu Zhanxiao. How could
Mu Zhanxiao not hear Mu Lan’s perfunctory words? He smiled and refilled his tea with Mu Lan. Then he smiled and said, “I’ve already done what you asked, but I don’t understand why you did it.”
Mu Lan said lightly, “Things are precious when they are rare. What you can’t get is the best.”. Especially things that you have used, but don’t have anymore, are more worthy of rarity.
For such remarks, Mu Zhanxiao is somewhat surprised, looking at Mu Lan, that expression is more meaningful.
Mu Lan doesn’t take it seriously.
Mu Lan, I’m curious about what the people of Gu Fu have taught you in the past 16 years. You can always surprise people? Mu Zhanxiao was quiet for a moment, but asked directly.
Mu Lan was Mu Zhanxiao so a question, also followed quiet down.
She seemed to be really thinking about what she had learned during her sixteen years in Gu Fu. Apart from embroidery and medical skills, as well as martial arts, there seems to be nothing. And now everything seems to be self-taught.
It seems that in my last life, I didn’t quite understand the way of doing business.
But now it’s easy to come by, and it’s natural.
She was reborn, so did some of her skills that had not been turned on before also turn on?
Mu Lan sank, such an idea, but did not let Mu Lan feel proud, but is faintly uneasy, indescribable feeling, as if he was suddenly circled into an indescribable maze.
Soon, Mu Lan turned around and looked at Mu Zhanxiao. She raised her eyebrows and said calmly, “Maybe I can learn without a teacher.” When
Mu Zhanxiao heard this, he laughed and said, “What a self-taught person.”
“Don’t believe?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows.
“Letter.” Mu Zhanxiao answered, but suddenly the voice could not tell whether it was a test or a stern one. “After all, I can easily say what I want.”
Mu Lan smiled and spread out his hands. “It’s a pity I ruined it.”
Mu Zhanxiao also laughed, and then he looked at Mu Lan: “You didn’t hesitate to venture into Wangxianglou for the purpose of getting that evidence?”
Mu Lan did not answer.
“Do you want to use evidence to get rid of the relationship with Your Royal Highness?” Mu Zhanxiao asked directly.
This remark made Mu Lan sink, and his hand, which was holding the teacup, tightened slightly: “Not really.”
This answer is somewhat ambiguous, Mu Zhanxiao also unexpectedly did not continue to ask, this Mu Lan, no one can deny her identity, but it is full of fog.
He investigated Gu Fu, but could not find too many clues. A
simple Gu Fu, it is impossible to teach such a woman. A man
full of surprises and dangers.
Just like when Li Shiyu, who was indifferent by nature, looked at Mu Lan with new eyes, it proved that Mu Lan’s ability was already somewhat unfathomable.
“Will you change your face?” Mu Zhanxiao was quiet for a moment and then changed the subject. With a half-smile,
Mu Lan said, “There are many people in Jianghu who can change their faces. I can just buy a human skin mask. Why do I have to change my face? Besides, my second brother doesn’t know. Did I ask shopkeeper Wang to prepare this human skin mask?”
This is also true.
At that time, Li Shiyu had already asked shopkeeper Wang, and this matter was indeed handled by shopkeeper Wang by Mu Lan. Even things in Wangxianglou were asked by Mu Lan and shopkeeper Wang one after another during this period of time.
It’s just that no one expected Mu Lan to come out like this.
But Mu Lan is very clear, she will be transfiguration is far higher than human skin mask, as for the reason, Mu Lan did not say.
Because the transfiguration person is not himself, but the only grandson of Feng Changyang, Feng is frivolous.
Is also a person who grew up with Mu Lan, but the wind is frivolous and bohemian, rarely appear in such a place as Kyoto, for a while and a half, Mu Lan also can not find the wind Changyang, just out of this bad plan to let shopkeeper Wang prepare a human skin mask for himself.
Mu Zhanxiao nodded.
In such a conversation, the tea in the teapot was empty.
Mu Zhanxiao put down the teacup, but also did not mean to continue, but also did not seem to leave the meaning.
Mu Lan did not urge him to sit quietly.
It was not until Mu Zhanxiao once again broke the silence that he said, “Are you having a quarrel with Your Highness?”
“Noisy?” With a half-smile, Mu Lan said, “Second Brother, I don’t have the courage to make trouble with the Fourth Royal Highness.”. At best, it’s just a disagreement.
Mu Zhanxiao nodded, but very consciously ended the topic.
Then Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan and said, “Mu Lan, how did you and General Long get to know each other?”
“If the second brother has a chance, he might as well ask General Long himself. I’m also very curious about how General Long and I met.” Mu Lan’s face did not change color, without a trace of guilty in his eyes.
Mu Zhanxiao didn’t say anything more.
At least there was no trace of lying in Mu Lan’s face.
Long Shaoyun has been stationed at the border all the year round, except that he will return to Beijing before the Hungry Ghost Festival, the rest of the time, he will not appear in Kyoto, and in the general’s office in Kyoto, Long Shaoyun has long had no relatives.
But the scene of Long Shaoyun protecting Mu Lan seemed to be very familiar with each other.
You should know that Long Shaoyun was weak by nature and never participated in anything in the government, but he unexpectedly had emotional fluctuations because of Mu Lan.
As a result
, Mu Zhan Xiao sank and did not continue to think about it.
But Mu Lan’s eyes sharpened, and he looked at Mu Zhanxiao unceremoniously. “Second Brother, did you come to Luoxuelou specially today to finish the questions for the Fourth Royal Highness?”
Mu Zhanxiao coughed lightly.
“If it is,” Mulan quieted, and then said word by word, “then ask the second elder brother to tell the fourth royal Highness. If you want to know something, you can come in person. There’s no need to beat around the Bush.” With
that, Mu Lan stood up and walked behind the screen. Without looking back, he said, “Second Brother, I won’t see you off.”
Mu Zhanxiao knew that Mu Lan was under the order to leave, but he did not stay much, and leisurely left the snow building.
Soon, the snow building was quiet again.
And Mu Zhanxiao appeared in the snow building, but as if the whole Mu Wangfu people do not know in general, quietly in the past.
…… As the
sun was setting, Mulan looked down at the scroll until there was a knock on the door and the voice of Hexiang said, “Miss, the housekeeper Chen is here with the embroidery lady.”
“Please.” Mu Lan answered.
Then the door outside the house was pushed open, and Li Mu and Li Yan followed the housekeeper Chen into the Luo Xue Building. Mu Lan looked over, and the two of them knelt down to pay their respects: “I’ve seen the eldest lady.”
“Get up.” Mu Lan nodded. “The two masters have already brought the clothes to the young lady,”
Chen said in a low voice. “Just put your clothes there,”
said Mulan.
Li Mu and Li Yan also did not say much, more did not recognize the eyes of Mu Lan is in the shop to see the descendants of the Li family, they just keep in mind the orders of Mu Lan, the unfinished clothes to Mu Wang Fu, can leave.
Soon, the clothes were neatly placed on the bed. Mu Lan took one look, but Chen’s housekeeper said carefully, “Miss, don’t you want to try?”? If it is not suitable, let the master go back to change it. Otherwise, the Hungry Ghost Festival is coming soon, and if something happens to your clothes, you’ll be in trouble.
“No, I believe in the craftsmanship of the two masters. I’m sure I can’t go wrong.” Mu Lan is confident.
Li Yan and Li Mu also had confidence in their eyes, but they were more curious about how the dress would eventually be presented.
And the color chosen by Mulan is very demanding for people.
Dressed well, lovely. If you don’t
wear well, you can show your shortcomings in front of everyone.
So two people can not help but also some worry.
Chen butler saw Mu Lan so open, nodded, but also did not say anything, and then, Chen butler with Li Yan and Li Mu left. After the three of them left,
Mu Lan asked the lotus incense to take the embroidery frame, and then sent it out with the lotus incense, leaving Mu Lan alone in the house. Only then did
she unfold the clothes Li Mu had brought and inspect them carefully.
Two people’s embroidery is exquisite to the incomparable point, Mu Lan believes that this is the most real level of Li Mu and Li Yan, without reservation, and before, two people are afraid of being recognized, so there is still something to hide in the embroidery.
It was Mu Lan’s previous attempt to throw out a brick to attract jade that made them put down their guard, and they had seen themselves in the shop.
This dress, even if it doesn’t need the final stitch, is enough to surprise the audience.
But for Mulan, it’s not enough. Every step
she takes is in her own calculation.
Soon, Mu Lan came to his senses, and under the candlelight, his slender fingers were very flexible, and he quickly followed Li Mu’s stitch to make the final guard. The butterfly and Chinese rose in the
skirt corner, with Mu Lan’s line, seem to be alive all of a sudden, jumping out of the clothes, dancing, the cloth moves, the butterfly and Chinese rose become more vivid.
But this kind of stitch is hidden very well, in the place of group tail folds, only when Mu Lan walks or dances, it will appear, usually just a skirt with exquisite embroidery. It takes a lot of effort to
close the needle.
Even the lotus fragrance to call Mu Lan meal, Mu Lan refused, the door of the snow building has not been opened, the lotus fragrance also dare not disturb Mu Lan, quietly waiting outside.
And the candlelight in the room is always flashing.
……
At the end of the last stitch of Mulan embroidery, Mulan stretched himself and covered his mouth with a yawn.
I think I’m hungry.
She stood up and let Hexiang deliver the dinner.
He Xiang didn’t dare to ask more questions. She prepared dinner for Mu Lan, but Mu Lan said gently, “All right, I’ve been standing for a long time. Go and rest early. I’ll let Xiao Wu take these things out later.”
“Yes.” He Xiang Fu Fu body, this just left.
After that, the lotus fragrance closed the door quietly.
Mu Lan ate quietly, a small mouthful, suddenly, her chopsticks stopped in midair, eyes seemed to fall somewhere, but it was always empty.
Soon, Mu Lan continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
But the originally empty place suddenly appeared Li Shiyu’s figure, but the closed window was opened, the cold wind blew in from the outside.
A dark blue gown, as if blown by the cold wind outside, the hair on the cheeks, some unruly. Even Li Shiyu had a faint chill on his body.
Step by step toward the direction of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan completely ignored, bowed his head and quietly ate his dinner, as if there had never been such a person in the house.
She couldn’t help but hum coldly in her heart, and then
Li Shiyu seemed to be more and more familiar with the matter of appearing in the falling snow building, and every time she came uninvited.
It’s like making sure you don’t scream.
And Mu Lan knows very well that she really can’t scream out, and it’s not good for her at all. So in Mu Lan’s view, it is better to choose silence than to have a direct conflict with Li Shiyu.
“So late for dinner?” Li Shiyu took the initiative to break the silence and sat down uninvited opposite Mu Lan.
The man was thoroughly subdued, and the sullen and furious man he had seen in the wing of the shop that day was completely different. That kind of breath could not be found anywhere. Sitting in front of him was Li Shiyu, the fourth emperor known to the whole country.
Mu Lan did not say anything, but just concentrated on eating. Naturally,
Li Shiyu picked up the chopsticks that Mu Lan had put aside, took a bite, and put it into his mouth, as if he were tasting it. Then he said, “The chef at the Mu Palace makes a good dish.”
Mu Lan: “… …”
Those are her chopsticks!
But quiet, Mu Lan is also silent, simply do not eat in front of the dinner, but Li Shiyu and nothing, calm to clean up the rest of the night.
Two people share a pair of chopsticks, this is too ambiguous. After
putting up with it, Mu Lan finally looked up at Li Shiyu and said, “Your Highness, aren’t you too casual to come to me uninvited?” But
Li Shiyu calmly put down his chopsticks, lifted his eyelids, and looked at Mu Lan: “Didn’t you ask your second brother to convey this to the king? If there is a problem, let the king ask you personally, instead of letting Mu Zhanxiao convey it?”
Mu Lan: “… …”
How dare she lift a rock only to drop it on her own feet?
But how could Mu Lan compromise so easily? She looked at Li Shiyu with a smile and said, “OK.”. May I ask Your Highness if you have any questions for me?
Li Shiyu was not in a hurry to open his mouth, brushed the corner of his clothes, and then stood up and looked at Mu Lan in front of him with his hands on his back.
Mu Lan did not break the silence.
Anyway, she could not drive Li Shiyu away, and naturally there was nothing to be pretentious about. With time and patience, Mulan never loses to anyone.
This is the ability that Mu Lan cultivated in the last life. I don’t know how long the
room has been quiet, the candlestick is gradually burning out, leaving only a faint light flashing, even without blowing out, as long as a breeze blows, it is enough to make the candlelight completely disillusioned. No matter how good
Mu Lan’s patience was, it gradually disappeared in such a stalemate.
When Mu Lan could not bear it any longer, Li Shiyu suddenly said, “Mu Lan, who are you?”
Mu Lan. The wife of Prince Mu’s mansion. Mu Lan answered steadily.
Li Shiyu instantaneously moved to the front of Mu Lan, two people close to each other, in the faint candlelight, Mu Lan can even clearly see Li Shiyu’s face.
The uncanny workmanship is not enough to describe Li Shiyu’s handsome face. The first handsome man in
Kyoto really lives up to his reputation.
Mu Lan had a moment of flash, but he soon recovered his laxity and laziness.
“Your Highness, what are you going to do?” Mu Lan asked slowly, but did not dodge the slightest bit. The person who didn’t answer
this time is Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu also did not touch Mu Lan, just so look, maintain such a very close distance, until Li Shiyu took the initiative to step back.
Mulan remained motionless. There has been peace outside
these two days. Although the prince is eager to find you, he can’t really make a big fight. It’s not good for the prince to spread the news to his father’s ears. The father’s body is not safe now, and he’s very suspicious. The prince won’t lose his image in front of his father at the end.
Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth and said something about the capital, which was also telling Mu Lan that she was safe now.
Mu Lan hum, but also did not say anything.
But relieved. It’s true. Otherwise, because of the tense situation outside, Mu Lan could not contact the shops in the house, saying that he was not worried at all, which was false.
But Li Shiyu went on to say, “You use the power of the king like a fish in water, eh?”
This refers to the use of Li Shiyu’s identity to send Rouge and gouache to the hands of the daughters of these dignitaries.
“What is the effect?” Mu Lan ignored Li Shiyu’s taunt and asked in reply.
“Not bad.” Li Shi-yu quieted down for a moment and then explained, The feedback I got from shopkeeper Wang was that many people followed the clues to find the shop, but you ordered them not to accept customers. Reason? It does not suit your purpose to keep a lot of money and not earn it.
“What does Your Highness think my purpose is?” Mu Lan asked in reply.
Li Shiyu has some questions.
If you know, why worry about not seeing the real situation of Mu Lan.
Seeing that Li Shiyu did not open his mouth, Mu Lan explained, “The time has not yet come.”. Cast a long line to catch a big fish.
“Don’t act foolishly.” Li Shiyu warned in a low voice that he was afraid that Mu Lan would make any uncontrollable trouble just like when he broke into Wangxianglou.
Mu Lan gave a sneer and said, “Your Highness, you have said that I am relying on your power to carry out this Rouge and gouache shop. What kind of trouble can I make?”? Is not my every move under your watch?
That’s also true.
Li Shiyu gave a hum.
“Your Highness is not going to leave so late. Are you going to stay with me for the night?” Mu Lan gave the order to leave. But
Li Shiyu suddenly looked at Mu Lan with a half-smile and said, “Are you inviting the king to stay?”? Did what happened before make you feel better?
Mu Lan gnashed his teeth and looked at Li Shiyu. “Your Highness can try. I promise that this time, my sword will pierce your Highness’s neck.”
Li Shiyu, however, completely ignored Mu Lan’s warning. He got close to Mu Lan and looked at him. Then he asked word by word, “Mu Lan, who did you learn all this from?”? Can a girl still in the boudoir know so much?
“It has nothing to do with Your Highness.” Mu Lan hit back with cold words.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan and said, “a good one has nothing to do with this king.”
The voice fell, Li Shiyu quiet for a while, Mu Lan also silent, two people’s eyes collided together, looking at each other in the dark. When the
last candlestick burned out, there was only moonlight left in the room.
Mu Lan, remember this king. You are the one that this king likes. Whether you are a person or a ghost, this king wants you to guard everything. If one day this king finds out what you have done, don’t blame this king for being heartless. Ben Wang doesn’t like his things to be touched. Other than that, the king can choose to ignore whatever you do.
Li Shiyu’s words did not take a joke, but with a trace of oath.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu with some palpitations, but Li Shiyu did not go on, and the eyes that fell on Mu Lan did not move away.
Mu Lan is always calm on the surface.
Li Shiyu did not stay in the snow building, before leaving, took out a medicine bottle from his clothes, really put it on the table, and then quietly left in front of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.
After Li Shiyu left, Mu Lan went to the table, reached for the medicine bottle on the table and poured one out. Out of her sensitivity to pharmacology, she was suddenly enlightened at the first time.
This is a medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
As for why Li Shiyu gave himself these, it goes without saying.
That day in the wing of the shop, Li Shiyu’s rudeness and barbarism left bruises in different parts of Mu Lan’s body, which did not disperse for a long time.
This is also the reason why Mu Lan rarely left the Snow Tower these days, even if he went to pay his respects, he was covered up for fear of causing other trouble. If
these bruises do not disappear, before the Hungry Ghost Festival, she will not be able to hide as she is now.
This Li Shi
Yu Mulan was quiet, calmly poured himself a glass of water, and swallowed the pill directly. The
sky outside the window is getting heavier and heavier.
The room was quiet.
…… After that night,
Li Shiyu seemed to have formed a habit of appearing silently in Mu Lan’s boudoir every night.
Mu Lan from the initial cynicism to the later calm, and then to the final numbness, completely ignored the existence of Li Shiyu.
They don’t talk deliberately.
Li Shiyu just looked at the book quietly at the table, Mu Lan bowed his head and embroidered the final end of the skirt, occasionally two people’s line of sight would collide in the air, but it was only a very light one, each other would withdraw their line of sight, as if they had never seen each other again. Before
Mu Lan wants to rest, Li Shiyu will leave, just like when he came, quietly. For a
long time, such behavior seems to have become a habit.
Accustomed to the appearance of Li Shiyu, accustomed to the silent existence of this person, accustomed to the occasional casual and lazy questioning of this person.
“Your accounts are special?” Li Shiyu did not know when to walk to the edge of Mu Lan, looking down at the accounts in Mu Lan’s hands. Mu Lan took
this from shopkeeper Wang. It is indeed
not the traditional way of accounting, which is very complicated, but it is clear at a glance, and it is absolutely not wrong.
Mu Lan listened to Li Shiyu’s words and quieted down. “Is there a problem with your Highness?” Why are
these written here? Is there any special meaning? These lines and symbols are for easy memorization and reading. Li Shiyu did not quite understand the question.
Mulan thought for a moment. “I don’t know.”
Li Shiyu laughed angrily and said, “Mu Lan, you wrote this down. Now you tell Ben Wang that you don’t know?”? Are you perfunctory? Or are you too lazy to answer?
This time, Mu Lan was serious and quiet for a long time before he looked up at Li Shiyu and said lightly, “I really don’t know what your Highness said.”. I just felt that it should be recorded in this way, so I recorded it, and the results proved that it was really intuitive.
Mu Lan tells the truth. After
the rebirth, many things have gone beyond the scope of Mu Lan’s understanding, even with the memory of the previous life, but there are constantly a lot of content that is difficult to explain.
In the end, Mu Lan can only attribute all this to rebirth.
But such a conclusion did not let Mu Lan put down his heart, and occasionally the anxiety in his heart would become more and more obvious, and eventually completely out of control.
But Li Shiyu listens to Mu Lan’s words, the eyebrow slightly twists, the bone clear slender finger very naturally pinches Mu Lan’s chin.
Mu Lan got used to it and raised his eyebrows to look at Li Shiyu. “What are your royal Highnesses doing?”
“Kiss you.” Li Shiyu seemed to smile.
Mu Lan suddenly snorted. Without even looking at Li Shiyu, he naturally closed the account book and put it directly into Li Shiyu’s hand. He said perfunctorily, “Since Your Highness has this spare time, why don’t you send the account book back to shopkeeper Wang for me?”. After all, this makes money, and the four royal Highnesses get a piece of the cake.
Listening to Mu Lan’s magnanimous words, Li Shiyu looked at him with some meaningful eyes.
Mulan preemptively opened his mouth and said, “Your Highness, you don’t have to ask me who I am anymore. How about that?”
This time, the person who laughed out loud was Li Shiyu.
As if such a smile is particularly relaxed, and the usual gentle and refined four royal Highnesses are completely different, such a smile directly released to the fundus, he is directed at Mu Lan nodded.
It’s a promise.
Mulan raised an eyebrow with some surprise: “So easy to talk to?”
Li Shiyu did not let go of his hand holding Mu Lan’s mandible, and his eyes gradually sank. “What if the king allowed you to be the queen?”
Mu Lan was quiet, did not speak, just looked at Li Shiyu.
It’s a risky thing to say.
In the big week to say such words, is perverse, as long as a little carelessness, is the head fell, Li Shiyu such a cautious person, how can blurt out these words.
Not to mention, she and Li Shiyu’s relationship, not even a friend, is the most mutual use of people, Li Shiyu can be sure that one day he will not betray him?
“Your Highness, it is a capital crime for you to say that.” Mu Lan reminded Li Shiyu coldly.
Li Shi-yu was calm. “Are you going to betray the king?”
Mu Lan said half seriously and half jokingly, “It’s hard to say. When it’s good for me, I may choose to betray your Highness.”
“Mu Lan.” Li Shiyu suddenly called Mu Lan’s name.
Mu Lan did not speak.
“If that day comes, you have to believe that the king will drag you to hell with him. After all, it’s too hard for the king to meet a suitable opponent.” What Li Shiyu said was not so serious, but the gloom in his eyebrows and eyes was never concealed, and it was naked in front of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan’s red lips moved slightly, but Li Shiyu suddenly approached. He was very tall, and when he bent down, he gave people a heavy sense of pressure.
Mu Lan did not escape, calmly looking at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu’s cool and thin lips almost stuck to Mu Lan’s red lips, her face still did not change color, even her eyes did not blink, while Li Shiyu’s voice came in a low voice, very light, but in such a light description, with a strong warning.
“Lan’er” Li Shiyu suddenly changed his name. “Don’t let the king lose his patience, eh?”
Then, Li Shiyu loosened Mu Lan, picked up the account book handed over by Mu Lan, and left quietly.
But there is still Li Shiyu’s breath in the air.
Mu Lan low under the eyebrows, hide the deep meaning, the palm tightly clenched up, obviously, Li Shiyu is an accident after rebirth.
It’s like, if you’re not careful, you’ll fall to pieces.
But Mu Lan did not choose.
……
Another two days.
Mu Lan from Wang Xueshuang that please Ann back, but some unexpected to see Chen Zhirong and Mu Zhihua hurried toward the front hall, even if the time to Mu Lan, the two did not say, the pace has not stopped.
This was a surprise to Mu Lan.
These days, Chen Zhirong to Mu Lan to the peak of the situation, three meals a day will be carefully concerned about the question, although Mu Zhihua to Mu Lan lukewarm, but obviously also less initial tit-for-tat. There is harmony in the palace of
Prince Mu.
And now this?
“Is there a guest in the house?” Mu Lan sank, and then asked the lotus fragrance.
“Miss, the maidservant is going to inquire about it.”
Mu Lan nodded, the lotus fragrance has quickly turned away, she is not impatient to stand in place, just looking at the figure of Chen Zhirong left some curiosity.
With the status of the Mu Mansion today, the flatterers who come to the door can flatten the threshold of the palace.
But it is rare for Chen Zhirong to rush to meet him in such a hurry. It’s
almost a handful.
Is Li Shiyuan here?
Mu Lan quickly denied this speculation, even if Kyoto is now gradually peaceful down, Li Shiyuan’s troops did not intend to search in Kyoto, but that day’s accident, it is impossible to let Li Shiyuan so leisurely and carefree, but still rummaging in private.
So it is impossible for Li Shiyuan to appear in Prince Mu’s mansion now.
Plus the Hungry Ghost Festival is coming, as the present prince, Li Shiyuan is busy with his official duties. Li Shiyuan’s lust for beauty does not mean that Li Shiyuan will delay things because of beauty. While
Mu Lan was meditating, he Xiang hurried back and said, “Young lady, the maidservant has asked. It’s General Long Shaoyun.”
Mu Lan was quiet and did not speak.
Long Shaoyun came quickly and kept a low profile. It was enough to surprise Mu Lan to come back early and see him in Wangxianglou, but now Long Shaoyun appeared in Wangfu, which made people feel even more incredible.
Because Long Shaoyun holds the military power in his hands, even if he guards the border, the elite in his hands is enough to make all the people in the court afraid, including the present emperor.
Therefore, Long Shaoyun knew this very well and never got too close to any minister in the court. Even if he came back to attend the Hungry Ghost Festival and someone came to visit him in the general’s office, Long Shaoyun would send him away for various reasons, not to mention appearing in the office of other ministers in person. Everyone knows what the appearance of
Long Shaoyun means.
But now Long Shaoyun has come to Mu Wang Fu?
Mu Lan could not guess for a moment.
“When the dragon general arrived, the prince and his concubine went out to greet him.” He Xiang explained, “General Long is a rare visitor.”
Mu Lan nodded and said nothing. A rare visitor
indeed.
But Hexiang looked at Mulan and said, “Young lady, do you also want to go to the front hall?”? By rights, you are the legitimate daughter of Wang Yeh, and there is nothing inappropriate about appearing in the front hall.
Just as Hexiang’s voice fell, the figure of Chen’s housekeeper suddenly came hurriedly: “Young lady, Wang Yeh wants you to go to the front hall. General Long is here.”
Mu Lan was quiet for a moment. Then he replied, “I’ll be right there.”
“Yes.” Chen butler hurried back to reply.
Mu Lan then walked towards the front hall, followed by the lotus fragrance. Mu Lan is also only a moment of confusion, has already understood Mu Hongyuan’s plan.
Mu Hongyuan to today’s status, naturally is not a brainless person. In
his calculation, the Crown Princess was already in the pocket of Prince Mu’s mansion, and the appearance of her legitimate daughter was the best way to consolidate another force.
Besides, it was Long Shaoyun who came to the door on his own initiative. When
political power and military power belong to Prince Mu’s mansion, no one can match it.
So
Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes flashed a trace of shock, but the shock soon hid. This is a thing that Mu Lan did not understand from the previous life.
Mu Hongyuan’s ambition for the throne has never been less, but the superficial submission has covered up everything. The throne of the
emperor has always been stained with blood, and the one who can finally sit on the throne of God is the one who laughs last.
Hidden in the wide sleeve of the palm, gradually clenched into a fist, her memory flickering, if I remember correctly, the last life, Li Shiyuan cup of wine release military power, let Long Shaoyun handed over the military power, and really step by step forced the death of Long Shaoyun, is Mu Hongyuan.
This military power was handed over to Mu Hongyuan.
Mu Lan closed his eyes.
He Xiang was keenly aware of Mu Lan’s abnormality: “Young lady, are you not feeling well?”
“It doesn’t matter.” Mu Lan quickly answered, “Let’s hurry over there. Don’t let Dad wait.”
Such words, Mu Lan has all the emotions have converged down, did not say anything, the lotus fragrance oh sound, nodded, also no longer open his mouth.
After a while, the two men appeared in the front hall. When she
saw Mu Lan coming, Chen Chih-jung stepped forward and said, “Lan is here.” Blessed up,
Mu Lan paid his respects: “Lan’er has seen my father and the imperial concubine.”
Chen Chih-jung’s face was full of tenderness, and she helped Mu Lan up in person. Then she patted Mu Lan’s hand and said, “Come on, this is General Long Shao-yun. He has had numerous military exploits at a young age, and he has been guarding the border for many years. When he comes back this time, he can come to Prince Mu’s mansion, which really makes the mansion shine.”
Chen Zhirong’s scene words are always very beautiful, and Mu Hongyuan’s silent collocation is unusually good, does not make people feel irritable, but also makes people feel full of sincerity.
On the contrary, Mu Zhihua smiled coldly, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes with a trace of malice, it is rare that there is no moth.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and calmly looked at Long Shaoyun. 『
Long Shaoyun’s eyes were calm, as if he had never known Mu Lan or seen Mu Lan.
Mulan’s face did not change. “Mulan has seen General Long.”
“Hello, Miss Mu.” Long Shaoyun’s voice is very calm.
Mu Lan did not take the initiative to find a topic, standing quietly in place, most of the time and Long Shaoyun chat or Mu Hongyuan, the two are not talking about things in the court, but some things at the border, as well as the matter of General Long Lao.
Long Shaoyun coped well. When it was
almost time for lunch, Mu Hongyuan suddenly looked at Long Shaoyun and said, “Now that General Long has come to the king, how can he not stay for dinner?”? If word gets out like this, the king will become a man who has no way of entertaining guests.
“Then it is better to be obedient than respectful.” Long Shaoyun smiled in a low voice and readily agreed.
Obviously, Mu Hongyuan is very happy, turned around and ordered Chen butler, Chen butler immediately after the order to do, Chen Zhirong and Mu Zhihua also accompanied the whole laugh.
It was Mu Hongyuan who looked at Long Shaoyun and said, “The king remembers that when the old general was alive, he brought General Long here, but he never came again. The old general likes some flowers and trees in the king’s palace very much. Why don’t you let Lan Er take General Long to see what else is in the king’s garden?”. When it’s time for dinner, the king will ask the slaves to inform General Long.
That makes sense.
He is testing the meaning of Long Shaoyun, Mu Hongyuan for so many years is to know, the emperor in order to control Long Shaoyun, even today’s princess had wanted to refer to the marriage to Long Shaoyun, but were Long Shaoyun on the grounds of hard work in the frontier, directly rejected.
Plus the princess is charming, it is really not suitable to go to such a bitter and cold place as the frontier.
So that now, Long Shaoyun not only did not marry a wife, but also did not have a woman to serve around him.
So Mu Hongyuan is not sure whether Long Shaoyun will refuse, after all, in recent years, when Long Shaoyun faced such a thing, most of them chose to refuse.
To Mu Hung-yuan’s surprise, Lung Shao-yun actually agreed: “I’m worried about causing trouble to Miss Mu.”
Mu Lan did not speak, but Mu Hongyuan had already spoken: “No.”. Laner, you said, but.
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered.
In the eyes of Long Shaoyun, Mu Lan knew that this person had something to ask himself, and Mu Lan also knew that he could not avoid it. After all, the purpose of Long Shaoyun’s coming to Mu Wangfu today was not to catch up with Mu Hongyuan, but to come for himself.
Then why dodge.
“Then let Lan Er accompany you for a stroll, and the king will go ahead and get ready.” Mu Hongyuan laughed with satisfaction.
Long Shao-yun nodded his head and said, “There is Lord Lao Mu and the imperial concubine.”
Chen Chih-jung also gave a gentle smile and said, “General Long, you’re welcome.”. Then it will be hard for Lan.
“Lan’er doesn’t work hard.” Mu Lan smiled, very calm.
Mu Zhi drew a cold hum without any trace.
But Mu Hongyuan was the first to leave, followed by Mu Zhihua and Chen Zhirong. After walking out of the front hall, Mu Zhihua couldn’t help saying, “Niang, why do you still want to find someone for Mu Lan? Just find someone at random.”. Besides, Mu Lan, this bitch, is going to die. That would be too cheap for Mulan.
Chen Zhirong sank and glanced at Mu Zhihua with a warning in his eyes.
Mu Zhihua pouted unconvinced and did not look at Chen Zhirong. General
Long is at the border. If she had gone there, not to mention the long journey, it would have been hard to say what would have happened to the difficulties and obstacles at the border. Besides, which do you think is safer, staying in Kyoto or going to the border. When Mulan is gone, the prince won’t miss him. What’s the harm to you? Chen Zhirong asked in a low voice.
Mu Zhihua’s eyes were filled with hatred: “That little bitch can only die.”
Chen Chih-jung looked at Mu Chih-hua and said, You’d better put away all these thoughts now. The Hungry Ghost Festival is coming. You should behave well in front of the emperor and the empress Dowager. Don’t you forget that Mu Lan’s “Snow Girl” was so stunning that the emperor didn’t miss it?
In a word, completely let Mu Zhihua cease. Although
she was reluctant, she went to find a dancer to learn a new dance.
As Mu Lan said, “Neon Clothes” has been dancing for three years, no more amazing, want not to be covered by Mu Lan’s limelight, it is bound to change.
Mu Zhihua left unconvinced.
Chen Zhirong twisted eyebrows, is really unexpected, quickly calm Mu Zhihua, after meeting Mu Lan seems to have completely changed a person, so that before the enemy has not shot, she will have exposed all their disadvantages.
Mulan.
It was more difficult than she expected.
Chen Zhirong sank, gathered down his eyebrows and eyes, and hurried to keep up with Mu Hongyuan’s footsteps.
……
At the same time
, after all the people left, Mu Lan did not take the initiative to open his mouth, but the lotus fragrance consciously retreated to one side, eyes and nose, nose and mouth, as if nothing had been seen.
Lung Shao-yun clenched his fist and coughed softly: “Then there’s Miss Lao Mu.”
Mu Lan smiled, nodded and took Long Shaoyun to the garden of Mu Wangfu.
Mu Wangfu’s garden is full of flowers, competing for beauty, because Luo Xue likes it, so Mu Hongyuan built a garden in the palace, where there are even more rare plants than Imperial Garden in the palace.
Even though Luo Xue had passed away for many years, Chen Zhirong wanted to destroy the garden countless times, but he never dared, so the garden has been left until now.
The whole journey, Mu Lan did not say anything, just quietly with Long Shaoyun strolling in the garden.
Long Shao-yun was even more reticent, and did not open his mouth all the way. Instead, the two of them walked all the way to the pavilion, and Long Shao-yun said lightly, “Sit down and rest for a while.”
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows, hum, but generously chose a seat to sit down.
Long Shaoyun did not sit down, but still stood.
Mu Lan looked at Long Shaoyun’s face and was quiet for a long time before he asked directly, “General Long, it’s not true to go to the garden, but it’s true to ask me.”
“Miss Mu is really smart.” Long Shaoyun looked at Mu Lan and chuckled.
“General Long has something to say, but it doesn’t matter.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly and looked at Long Shaoyun.
Long Shaoyun touched the ground lightly on his toes, and then looked at Mu Lan. His eyes were less warm than before, but more serious and fierce: “You didn’t answer me before. Why did you appear in a place like Wangxianglou?” “Why did General Long appear at Wangxianglou?”
Mu Lan asked without hesitation.
“It’s not hard to understand a man’s presence at Wangxianglou, is it?” Long Shaoyun answered without changing his face.
Mu Lan nodded, really a good speech.
Long Shaoyun saw that Mu Lan did not open his mouth to speak, nor did he let go of Mu Lan’s meaning. He approached Mu Lan step by step until he completely blocked Mu Lan. His eyes were heavy and fell on Mu Lan. Every word was clear: “I ask you something. Speak.”
“Maybe it felt fresh, so I went in?” What Mu Lan said is a little perfunctory.
“Mulan, do you think I’m a three-year-old child, and if you say anything, I’ll believe what you say?” Long Shaoyun’s voice is more and more serious, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes is not a moment.
Mulan asked, “Why does General Long think I went in?”
“You..” Long Shaoyun was criticized by Mu Lan and could not speak.
But Mu Lan stood up unhurriedly and looked at Long Shaoyun. Only then did he lightly change the subject: “I’m curious. Why can General Long recognize me when I’ve changed my appearance?”? If I remember correctly, it was the first time I saw General Long, either before or after I returned to the Ku Mansion, the day I looked at the Fragrant House.
Mu Lan’s eyes are not a trace of a joke.
I don’t know if it’s because after rebirth, Mu Lan has become sensitive to many things, so suddenly there is such a person who seems to be familiar with himself for a long time, which makes Mu Lan always a little flustered.
She didn’t like the feeling of uncertainty and loss of control. Long Shaoyun, who was
originally aggressive, quieted down in an instant in Mu Lan’s words.
Some things, just like Mu Lan did not want to open his mouth, Long Shaoyun did not want to explain. Long Shaoyun could not guess what happened when
Mu Lan appeared in Wangxianglou, but he intuitively did not think it was a good thing, and even had a relationship with the prince.
And his relationship
with Gu Fu sank, and finally Long Shaoyun did not speak, standing in silence.
And the two never talked again.
It was not until butler Chen came up and said, “Long Jianjun, the eldest lady, lunch is ready. The prince and the concubine are waiting for you.”
“There is Lao Chen, the housekeeper.” Long Shaoyun opened his mouth. Housekeeper
Chen stepped aside politely.
But Mulan stood up and said, “General Long, please.”
Long Shaoyun did not speak, and then stepped out of the pavilion.
Chen butler in front of the road, Mu Lan and Long Shaoyun is walking side by side, but there is still a faint sense of distance between them, and still no one opened his mouth.
Go to the corner of the promenade.
Chen butler’s figure has crossed the corridor.
Mu Lan in the moment of turning around, suddenly Long Shaoyun clasped Mu Lan’s hand, Mu Lan twisted eyebrows, looked down at Long Shaoyun clasped his hand, although did not struggle, but looked at Long Shaoyun’s eyes, but with a hint of inquiry.
Long Shaoyun also realized something, and then let go of Mu Lan’s hand: “I..”
“What does General Long want to say?” Mu Lan is not in a hurry to go, but quietly looking at Long Shaoyun. In the
face of Long Shaoyun, Mu Lan’s mood is calm, can not say the feeling, as if Long Shaoyun is a very safe person, without any sense of threat, the words between the lines are concerned about and care.
Therefore, Mu Lan looked at Long Shaoyun’s eyes are also quiet.
Long Shaoyun clenched his fists and waited for a while before asking in a hoarse voice, “Are you going to the talent show?”
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and then gave the answer: “If there is no big accident, it should be necessary to go. This is the rule of the big week. I have no right to change anything. I think my father has no right to make any decision.”
Imperial power cannot be challenged.
Unless it is a serious illness or disability, or is not old enough, or has been married, otherwise, this pass can not escape.
“If..” Long Shaoyun looked at Mu Lan and then said quietly, “If I tell the emperor that I want to marry you as a concubine, can you not enter the palace?”
Mu Lan was a little surprised.
She didn’t quite understand what Long Shaoyun meant.
I simply feel that my luck in love is a little excessive recently. Not only Long Shaoyun, but also the former Prince Li Shiyuan and the third Prince Li Shiyi showed interest, even Li Shili in Wangxianglou, whose possessiveness was too obvious.
So this is?
Quietly, Mu Lan looked back at Long Shaoyun. “Does General Long want to marry me because I’m the daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion, or because I’m good-looking, or because I’m useful to General Long?”
Without waiting for Long Shaoyun to open his mouth, Mu Lan went on to say, “General Long is indifferent by nature. I don’t think I can shake General Long as the daughter of Prince Mu. After all, General Long has never seen such an identity as a princess.”. Military power in the hands of the general, it is impossible because of such a thing, and the marriage of Prince Mu. Secondly, even if I look good, I think with the general’s ability and status, want to find a girl who is more beautiful than me to be the imperial concubine, it is easy. What use am I to the general? Sorry, Mulan didn’t think of it.
Mu Lan calmly finished his words, looking at Long Shaoyun, as if waiting for Long Shaoyun’s answer.
If you say handsome man.
Long Shaoyun is far less handsome than princes of the Li family, but Long Shaoyun’s unique masculinity, which has been in the battlefield for many years, can not be imitated by others. There are many women
in Kyoto who want to marry Long Shaoyun.
Those princesses are not passive, but active.
But it happened that Long Shaoyun took a fancy to himself?
When Mu Lan felt that Long Shaoyun would not give him an answer, Long Shaoyun suddenly opened his mouth. The two of them kept a distance of half a person’s width, but Long Shaoyun’s voice was very magnetic and deep: “Mu Lan, if I don’t want to marry a concubine, then I only want you.”
Mu Lan was stunned. Chen butler, who was
walking in front of him, suddenly found that they had not kept up with him, and then hurried back. Mu Lan came to his senses, coughed lightly, and did not answer Long Shaoyun’s question, but quickly kept up with Chen butler’s pace.
Long Shaoyun nodded and motioned to walk calmly. I can’t
see anything unusual, but there is always a hint of indescribable ambiguity in the air.
Chen butler sank, but did not pierce such an atmosphere. It was
a lively lunch.
Even if Long Shaoyun is indifferent by nature, he is in the officialdom after all, and he does not lack such communicative ability after a long time of immersion.
Advance and retreat properly, not surprised by spoils and humiliations. Long Shaoyun did not stay in the palace
until after lunch.
When Long Shaoyun was about to leave, Mu Hongyuan stood up and suddenly said, “The king is old, and his health is beginning to fail. The king won’t see you out. Let Lan Er see you out. The king saw that you were talking happily before.”
Long Shaoyun did not refuse or disagree.
Mu Lan just twisted her eyebrows, but on the surface she was clever: “Lan knows.” The satisfaction in
Mu Hongyuan’s eyes was getting worse and worse, but Mu Lan stood up directly and said quickly, “I’ll send General Long out of the mansion.”
Long Shaoyun nodded and motioned that every measure was well grasped. He
doesn’t look like the man who said such overbearing words to himself before. The two of them did not speak to each other
during the journey, but walked one after the other toward the palace of Prince Mu. When they reached the outside of the palace, Long Shaoyun got on his horse, and Mu Lan stood where he was: “General Long, I’ll send you here.”
Long Shaoyun looked at Mu Lan very deeply, hum, and then rode away. After
Mu Lan watched Long Shaoyun leave, he turned around and returned to the palace.
……
When Mu Lan returned to Luoxue Lou, he Xiang came up to meet him, but he winked at Mu Lan and said, “Miss, is General Long gone?”
“You used to want to push me to the third prince, but now you turn around and think that General Long and I can do it?” Mu Lan is not polite to expose the lotus fragrance.
He Xiang coughed lightly and followed carefully behind Mu Lan. “Miss, is it not good for people to have more choices?”
Mulan smiled. “It’s yours. Do you choose the third prince or the dragon general?”
If you really want to choose, don’t you think General Long is better? No concubines, simple, but also holding a large number of troops, this compared with the three princes, three princes, three wives and four concubines, only less is the imperial concubine, went in, the factional struggle is also a lot. Of course the maidservant is on General Long’s side. He Xiang said directly, shaking his head and looking at Mu Lan.
He Xiang really wants Mu Lan to be good.
She entered the palace as a slave for such a long time, only Mu Lan is sincerely good to himself. So Hexiang naturally hoped that Mu Lan could marry a good family.
In Mu Wang Fu, Mu Lan is beautiful on the surface, but there are hidden crises everywhere.
But Mu Lan listened to what he Xiang said and laughed in a low voice: “All right, you go out. Don’t think about these things every day. If you have this idea, why don’t you read and write down the words I taught you?”
“Ah..” There was a wail of lotus fragrance.
Mu Lan is not polite to send the lotus incense out, and then he closed the door of the house. As soon as
she turned around, she saw Li Shiyu not knowing when he appeared in the house.
