True or False Mulan
Phoenix Nirvana: The Road
to Glory and Favor of the Demon Queen Under such circumstances, Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mulan and said, “Why do you suddenly want to go to the imperial mausoleum?” “Let’s see if there are any clues,
” Mulan said directly.
Mu Zhanxiao nodded clearly, after all, if this one in the palace is false, then it means that in the imperial mausoleum, Mu Lan’s body is not resurrected, but does not know where it was abandoned.
And do these tricks, it is bound to be someone, as long as someone did, it will leave clues, these are clues.
But in the past year, they have never thought about checking the imperial mausoleum, and they are really negligent.
“Without further ado.” Mu Zhanxiao said quickly, “Let’s go now. There’s still some time to go to the imperial mausoleum. If we delay any longer, if it gets dark, it will be troublesome to find anything.”
After all, night is not as good as day.
Many things are not so easy to deal with.
Soon, the two men walked toward the other courtyard, non-stop toward the direction of the imperial mausoleum, to the imperial mausoleum time, far earlier than planned time. When
we arrived at the imperial mausoleum, it was only noon.
Mu Lan and Mu Zhanxiao got off their horses, nodded their heads and walked toward the imperial mausoleum. After
so many years, the guards of the imperial mausoleum are not as tight as they were at the beginning. Besides, the one in the palace has come back to life, so there is no need for the imperial mausoleum to be so nervous.
When Mu Lan and Mu Zhan Xiao arrived, the guards of the imperial mausoleum were still dozing off, and they did not disturb the guards, but entered the imperial mausoleum from the side. Everything in
the imperial mausoleum seemed quiet, solemn and solemn.
Mu Lan and Mu Zhanxiao entered the imperial mausoleum, and soon arrived at the main tomb where Mu Lan was buried, which was also the place where Li Shiyu was buried a hundred years later.
Now, the only thing left in the tomb is the crystal coffin, and the lid of the crystal coffin has been opened, and the body inside has long disappeared.
It is also in line with what the one in the palace said that he was resurrected.
If it is resurrected, it will lead to the disappearance of the body.
“a year ago, the emperor actually came, and I was there, but I didn’t find anything unusual.” Mu Zhanxiao explained softly.
The tomb is very empty, Mu Zhanxiao’s voice echoed in the tomb, but clearly visible.
Mu Lan did not respond to Mu Zhanxiao’s words, so carefully looking at the vicinity of the crystal coffin, the eyes slightly squint, Mu Zhanxiao curiously looking at Mu Lan, but do not know what Mu Lan is looking at.
“Has the position of the crystal coffin been changed?” Mu Lan asked directly.
“Never. That’s how it was placed back then.” Mu Zhan answered.
Mu Lan nodded, then stood up and said with a straight face: “This was touched by someone, not a person who came back from the dead.” “Why do you think so?” Asked
Mu Zhanxiao.
“First, I have carefully observed this coffin. If a person is placed inside, it is absolutely impossible to open the coffin from inside. Even if the person is really not dead, sooner or later he will suffocate alive inside. After all, there is no air here, and it is because of this and the extremely cold temperature that the body can remain unchanged.”
Mu Lan explained carefully: “At this point, it rules out the traces that the people inside can come out.”. Even if Mulan’s identity reaches to the sky, it makes people think that Mulan is not a mortal and can walk freely from the coffin. If this is the case, then why open the coffin?
Mu Zhanxiao nodded and motioned to Mu Lan to go on.
“If you look at this coffin, it’s clear that it’s been tampered with. It’s a Bush that was knocked open by an external force. It was opened from the outside, not pushed from the inside.” Mu Lan compared several of the traces.
Mu Zhanxiao looked over and said, “We have ignored all these places.”
It should be said that at that time, everyone was shocked by the resurrection of Mulan, so they never thought about these details. When Mulan mentioned them so coldly, everyone realized that they had not noticed them.
Soon, Mulan pointed to the ground again. “Look here.”
“Is there anything different?” Mu Zhanxiao looked down at the ground. There
is no difference, at least in Mu Zhanxiao’s view.
“What’s on the ground?” Mu Lan asked.
Mu Zhanxiao sank: “You and my footprints.”
“That’s right.” Mulan went on, “Look, we’ve come in. There are footprints of you and me on the ground, and the imperial mausoleum is absolutely forbidden to anyone except the emperor himself. But the air in the imperial mausoleum is thin, and the emperor will not easily appear here, let alone the main mausoleum where the crystal coffin is placed.”
Mu Lan explains slowly: “And now besides our footprints, there are no footprints of a third party. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
Mu Zhanxiao suddenly realized: “So someone took the body out, and then removed the footprints, so the imperial mausoleum looked clean.”
“The emperor came here a year ago. Did you go into the main tomb to check on the situation?” Mu Lan asked again.
Mu Zhanxiao shook his head and said, “No, I just saw the coffin open like this. It hasn’t been touched for a year, and we haven’t entered the main tomb.” “Since you didn’t come in,” murmu
red Mulan, “it’s even more impossible that the traces on the ground have been destroyed. But this ground is clean. It proves that this man has been careful in doing things, but has exposed himself.”
Mu Lan said slowly.
And Mu Zhanxiao eyes with a trace of surprise, he really did not notice these details.
At that time, none of them noticed this detail, but now, if not for the appearance of Mu Lan, for the one in the palace, everyone believed incomparably, including Mu Zhanxiao, just had doubts, but did not think much about it.
And now —
“Go out and see.”. I don’t think the other side will take the body too far. After all, it’s not convenient to walk with a corpse. Mu Lan answered calmly, “And if you want to take such a big body far away, it’s easy to alarm others, so I’m afraid the body is near here, or even inside the imperial mausoleum.”
The ancestors of Dazhou, including Li Changtian and others, were buried here, and there were many tombs here, but they entered a main tomb, which belonged to Li Shiyu and Mu Lan.
So, Mu Lan just suspects, before the corpse is afraid is to had not left from imperial mausoleum.
And Mu Zhanxiao listened to Mu Lan’s words, frowning slightly, but there was no doubt about what Mu Lan had done, and soon followed Mu Lan along several adjacent tombs.
You know, even if you worship, it is impossible to enter the tomb, and naturally it is impossible to find everything in the tomb, and after these emperors are buried, it is disrespectful to their ancestors to open the tomb easily.
And Li Shiyu’s tomb can be opened, because Li Shiyu is still alive, naturally can not be sealed.
“Here it is.” Mu Lan opened his mouth quickly.
Mu Zhanxiao had come over, and sure enough, he saw a decayed corpse appear in front of them, wearing the wedding clothes of Mu Lan, and even the jewelry on his body clearly expressed the identity of Mu Lan.
Mu Zhanxiao quickly half crouched down. After careful examination, he said, “It was indeed the body at that time.”
“So,” says Mulan directly, “the one in the palace is a fake.”
And Mu Lan clearly remembers that the crystal coffin he saw in modern society, the people inside have the same face as himself, that is the face of modern Xu Zhen, not the ancient Mu Lan.
Because the ancient Mulan had already been destroyed at this time, and naturally it did not exist.
“What should we do now?” Mu Zhanxiao asked Mu Lan very directly.
Mu Lan quieted down: “Don’t move first.”. Before knowing the purpose of the other party, everything can only remain silent. If the other party comes back to check from time to time and finds that the body has been moved, even the next thing will be troublesome. Just as the emperor does, wait and see what happens, and wait for the other side to come forward. For
a year, Li Shiyu has not touched the dummy in the palace.
Then the person behind will naturally be anxious, never touched, then this dummy can not be close, afraid of this one in the palace, the ultimate goal is to kill Li Shiyu. If you don’t succeed for
a long time, you will have to change your strategy.
“Inside the palace is a dummy, and the emperor is afraid to know your identity, so what are you going to do next?” Mu Zhanxiao asked.
Mu Lan sank and said, “Just wait and see what happens, and wait for the emperor to come looking for you.”. I can’t reach out to anyone.
On the surface, it seems that the conditions given to Mulan by the God of Montenegro are much less harsh than those of that year, but Mulan knows very well that the requirements now are more difficult to achieve than those of that year. If
both sides do not take the initiative, then Mu Lan is nothing but a dead end.
Mu Lan can not take the initiative to find, but can take the initiative to attract their attention, Wangxianglou is just her opportunity, if failed, Mu Lan does not even know how to go the next way.
“If I tell the emperor,” said Mu Zhanxiao.
Mu Lan quickly interrupted Mu Zhanxiao: “No.”. The end was exactly the same as in the last life. Now
Mu Zhanxiao did not speak, and the main tomb became quiet.
Until Mulan broke the silence again: “Let’s get out of here first, and we’ll discuss other things after we get out.”
“Good.” Mu Zhanxiao did not hesitate.
Soon, the two men walked outside the imperial mausoleum.
As a result, the two men did not expect to see Li Shiyu’s figure standing quietly outside the imperial mausoleum as soon as they left the mausoleum, while the guards on one side shivered, not knowing whether it was because they dozed off and were caught by Li Shiyu, or because of something else, and the air around them was much quieter.
Li Shiyu did not take anyone with him, only Li Shiyu himself, and even Rong Jiu, who usually followed Li Shiyu, disappeared. When they
saw Li Shiyu, they were stunned for a while. They looked at each other subconsciously, with a trace of confusion in their eyes, but they could not tell why Li Shiyu appeared here. It was Mu Lan who was the
first to come to her senses: “See the emperor.”
Li Shi-yu hummed and calmly said, “Get up.” Only then did
Mu Zhanxiao come to his senses. “I see the emperor,” he said. Soon, however, he looked at Li Shiyu and calmly asked, “Why is the emperor here?”
Li Shiyu, however, had no intention of reproaching them. He quietly walked toward the two of them until he reached them. Then he said, “I just went to the other courtyard. The people in the other courtyard said that you had been here earlier. I thought that you were probably here, so I came to have a look.” How can you know such a thing as
coming to the imperial mausoleum by thinking. Just
as Mu Lan knows Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu also knows Mu Lan, if Mu Lan suspects, then Mu Lan is bound to appear in the imperial mausoleum for the first time to find the truth.
That’s why Li Shiyu didn’t want to appear in the imperial mausoleum.
Under such circumstances, Mu Lan was calm, and did not pierce Li Shiyu’s idea, just standing so quietly. Although
Mu Zhanxiao knew that Li Shiyu’s words were all flaws, on the surface, Mu Zhanxiao did not say much.
The three of them were quiet.
In the end, it was Li Shiyu who broke the silence: “I’m hungry. I haven’t had lunch yet.”
“If the emperor doesn’t mind, then we’ll have dinner together.” Mu Zhanxiao answered calmly.
Li Shi-yu murmured, “It’s not far from the imperial mausoleum to the wonton restaurant in the outer suburbs. Just go there for dinner.”. Call me Fourth Master outside to avoid causing trouble.
Yes. The fourth master Mu Zhan answered.
Mu Lan did not say anything, just so looking at Li Shiyu, but also just a glance, Mu Lan on the quiet down, quietly followed behind Mu Zhanxiao.
Always felt that Li Shiyu was hinting at something, but he could not say it, and finally Mu Lan could only remain silent.
But Li Shiyu is like a person who has nothing to do, three people slowly toward the imperial mausoleum outside, and the guards of the imperial mausoleum are still shivering standing in place. When
Li Shiyu reached the edge of the imperial mausoleum, he suddenly said, “Somebody, replace these slaves. From now on, the imperial mausoleum can only be guarded by shadow guards.”
“Yes.” A voice suddenly came, it was the shadow guard in the dark. How can there be no one beside
Li Shiyu. The guards of the
imperial mausoleum begged for mercy, but to no avail, and were soon taken down, and the imperial mausoleum was quiet again, and Li Shiyu, like a man who had nothing to do, turned and walked out of the imperial mausoleum.
The three of them mounted their horses and rode toward the wonton shop. Outside
the wonton shop, the three men dismounted and soon walked towards the wonton shop.
Waiter saw people, but warmly greeted up, although do not know Li Shiyu, but in Li Shiyu’s words and deeds, Waiter also know that three people are extraordinary, the attitude is naturally very good.
“My guest, it’s quieter inside.” Waiter took the three of them to the inside position.
By the edge of the window, there is an excellent view outside, but it will not be affected at all, but it is quiet.
Three people sat down, Mu Zhanxiao quickly ordered three bowls of wonton, and some side dishes, the waiter wrote down, turned around and walked in the direction of the kitchen.
Li Shi-yu suddenly said, “Ao Feng often comes to this wonton restaurant. In the past, when Ao Feng was still young, he pestered me to bring him here. Now that Ao Feng is strong, he comes by himself, with the shadow guards on the side.” Speaking
of Ao Feng, Li Shiyu bowed his head and chuckled, as if his mood had suddenly been delighted.
Mu Lan heard the matter of Aofeng, but seriously, and did not interrupt Li Shiyu’s words, and Mu Zhanxiao also followed Li Shiyu’s words, talking about the situation of Aofeng.
“Over the years, Aofeng has come out of these places to relieve pressure. In the palace, every word and deed of Aofeng is watched by people. There is no room for any carelessness, and occasionally there is room for breathing.” Mu Zhanxiao answered lightly.
“Yes.” Li Shi-yu nodded with a smile. “Ao Feng has grown up, and now he is very familiar with things in the palace. Compared with the little boy of the past, Ao Feng is completely different now.”. In a few years, Ao Feng will be sitting firmly on the throne.
This, let Mu Lan slightly twist eyebrows.
The implication Mu Lan heard out, Li Shiyu is to let Aofeng succeed to the throne ahead of time, waiting for Aofeng adult.
This is not in line with common sense for an emperor.
Want to know the emperor in this throne, almost all stepped on the blood, will not easily hand over the throne, just like the previous several emperors, are ultimately flesh and blood, the winner can stay high on the throne.
But now Li Shiyu is doing the opposite, which is really surprising. What’s more, even if Ao Feng is an adult, he is just an adult, and the young boy who is just an adult is on the throne of the emperor, and he is afraid that many people are not convinced.
But Mu Lan did not speak, she knew that Li Shiyu had Li Shiyu’s consideration, can do so also must have Li Shiyu’s reason, in the matter, Mu Lan will never interfere.
But Mu Zhanxiao and Li Shiyu are cooperating, all chatting about the situation of Aofeng in the past few years, as if to tell Mu Lan about the situation of Aofeng.
But anything that has to do with Ao Feng, Mu Lan will listen carefully.
“Ao Feng has grown a lot over the past few years, and I’m afraid he’ll soon surpass us.”
“Yes, I’ve grown taller, and I’ve grown good at martial arts. Over the years, there haven’t been many of these great masters in the palace who have been the opponents of Ao Feng.”
“Taifu told me about Aofeng before, and he said that he couldn’t find anyone who could learn faster than Aofeng now.”
……
Two people’s words and deeds, Mu Lan so quietly listening.
And the waiter also served the wonton and some side dishes they had ordered. Mu Lan looked at the wonton in front of him and slightly twisted his eyebrows, because there were scallions in the wonton.
They forgot to explain that Mu Lan didn’t eat scallions.
But Mu Lan just twisted his eyebrows, and soon picked up the spoon, ready to pick out the shallots in the wonton. Unexpectedly, Mu Lan had just done so, and Li Shiyu had already calmly changed the wonton in front of him to Mu Lan. In
Li Shiyu’s wonton, there is no scallion unexpectedly.
Mu Lan hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Shiyu, who took his time explaining, “Aren’t you going to pick out the scallions?”
Mu Lan did not deny it.
“As it happens, I like to eat with scallions. I don’t have scallions in this bowl, so I’ll trade them with you. There’s nothing wrong with that.” Li Shiyu said directly.
Mulan quieted down, this is also the reason, there is nothing inappropriate, Li Shiyu’s words so that Mulan is unable to respond, finally Mulan did not say anything, just said thank you: “Thank you fourth Master.”
Li Shiyu gave a hum.
And the whole Mu Zhanxiao did not say a word, just quietly eating his bowl of wonton.
Until three people finished eating, but also did not mean to go, Li Shiyu and Mu Zhanxiao did not move, Mu Lan naturally will not move.
After that, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan lightly and asked just some ordinary questions.
“What did you say your name was at Wangxianglou?” Li Shiyu also asked directly.
“Back to the Fourth Master, my name is Little Cen.” Mu Lan spoke calmly.
Mu Zhanxiao glanced at Mu Lan without a trace, but he didn’t say anything, while Li Shiyu nodded: “What’s your last name?”
“My family name is Hsu, but I’m from a girl’s family, so I haven’t been included in the family tree, and I don’t have a surname. Everyone has always called me Little Cen, but I’m used to it.” Mu Lan explains casually, “That’s why I have to add my surname, but I’m not used to it.”
In a word, Mu Lan is a person without a surname.
At this point, Li Shiyu was quiet, and the finger in his hand moved: “Since you don’t have a surname, why don’t I give you one?”
Mu Lan one Leng, also did not expect Li Shiyu to arrange such a thing, but Mu Lan did not say anything, and Mu Zhanxiao looked at Li Shiyu, as if in Li Shiyu’s words, Mu Zhanxiao suddenly understood what, he did not say anything.
And Li Shiyu’s voice came slowly: “Since you were brought back by Zhan Xiao, then take the surname Mu. In that case, if someone asks, it won’t be unclear.”
Mu Lan was stunned. Doesn’t
that mean that his name has changed back to Mulan?
She looked at Li Shiyu in disbelief, but Li Shiyu was always calm and did not say much, but picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes, as if this was just a casual reward on weekdays.
But everyone in Dazhou knows that the late queen’s name is Mu Lan.
And this name is absolutely not allowed to be replaced by anyone, although Li Shiyu has not issued a ban, but this is the big week unwritten rules, obviously did not expect to be broken by Li Shiyu himself.
Mu Zhanxiao was also a little surprised, but it was only an accident. Soon Mu Zhanxiao calmed down. He looked at Mu Lan: “Since the fourth Master said, then you call Mu Lan.”
“Yes.” Mu Lan came to his senses and did not say much, but appeared to be much calmer.
Li Shi-yu hummed, but did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, “What were you doing before you came to Kyoto?” “I’ve always been at home helping out, and I rarely leave,”
explains Mulan.
“Who did you learn to dance like that from?” Li Shiyu took a sip of tea and continued to ask.
But that tea also just drank the surface of a mouthful, put aside, did not touch again, this is not surprising, Li Shiyu used to drink the tea made by Mu Lan, for anyone, Li Shiyu will not easily touch again, this mouthful, is already the face of all nationalities.
Mu Zhanxiao has long been used to it.
Come here Li Shiyu can drink, also because of the reason of Mu Lan, Mu Lan said in those days. Although the tea in this small shop is unremarkable, it is the green tea planted in the mountains, which can relieve the greasy taste. It was
also because of Mu Lan’s words that Li Shiyu touched it.
But Mu Lan quietly withdrew her gaze, and then said, “I live in the women’s courtyard on the side, and I learned from the dancers on the side. After a long time, I realized something by myself, but I just danced for fun, and I couldn’t go to the hall of elegance.”
Mu Lan is not in a hurry, Li Shiyu listened to Mu Lan’s words but smiled, did not say anything.
The two of them chatted with each other, but most of the time Li Shiyu was asking about Mu Lan, but no matter what Mu Lan answered, Li Shiyu never doubted, let alone asked, as if he simply wanted to know about Mu Lan over the years. During
this period, Mu Lan looked at Mu Zhanxiao from time to time, but some could not figure out Li Shiyu’s idea.
On the contrary, Mu Zhanxiao let Mu Lan calm down a little, Mu Lan also did not think much.
It was a leisurely meal, but I did eat for some time, until Li Shiyu looked out of the window at the sky and said, “It’s getting late. I have to go back. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get back to Kyoto before dark.”
It’s at least an hour away from Kyoto, and it takes time to get back.
When Li Shiyu’s voice fell, Mu Zhanxiao had already stood up and paid the silver, and soon took the lead in going out. Mu Lan also stood up, but Li Shiyu took his time.
And Mu Lan stood up, because of carelessness, almost so mixed to the stool, the whole person almost fell down, Mu Lan had no time to exclaim, the speed is too fast, so that Mu Lan some can not react.
And Li Shiyu’s speed is faster, directly clasped Mu Lan’s waist, Mu Lan’s waist does not look at Ying Ying a grip, the whole person instantly fell into Li Shiyu’s arms. The
familiar sandalwood fragrance came, and Mu Lan was somewhat stunned.
On the contrary, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan with a half-smile: “If you’re so careless, you can still trip over a chair. Is it because you’re too slow to react now?”.
This seems to mean something, and Mu Lan in a trance can not hear, but shocked at the present situation, for a while and a half will not know whether to struggle or should not struggle.
Mu Zhanxiao looked over when he heard the sound.
Seeing Mu Lan in Li Shiyu’s arms, Mu Zhanxiao coughed lightly, but turned around consciously and did not continue to look at it.
And Mu Lan looked more and more embarrassed and moved passively.
But Li Shiyu’s hand did not let go of the meaning, so close to Mu Lan’s waist, until the Mu Lan to help up.
“The small restaurants in the countryside are not as neat as those in Kyoto. Even the ground here is the most primitive, so you have to be careful when you walk.” Li Shiyu lightly reminded. Embarrassed,
Mu Lan still clings to Li Shiyu’s bosom: “I know.”
Li Shiyu hum, until Mu Lan smoothly out of the chair, Li Shiyu released Mu Lan, and then Li Shiyu did not say anything, quietly walked forward.
Mu Lan did not dare to hesitate, so he followed Li Shiyu.
And Li Shiyu’s pace is not fast, as if waiting for Mu Lan, to know that Mu Lan came back from modern times, and no martial arts, the tutorial is not able to keep up with two people, this way back, they are riding, although she will at least, but Mu Zhanxiao and Li Shiyu’s speed is fast, Mu Lan’s physical strength is too much.
So under such circumstances, Mu Lan knew that Li Shiyu was waiting for himself.
Quiet, Mu Lan did not say anything, quietly followed Li Shiyu.
“Be careful, there is a threshold.” Li Shiyu’s voice suddenly came.
The hand naturally took Mu Lan’s hand, a backhand, so firmly clasped Mu Lan’s hand in the palm, Mu Lan felt more and more surprised, and walking in front of Mu Zhan Xiao did not say anything, as if completely unaware of what happened behind.
Mu Lan was quiet, and finally did not speak, just looking at the two people holding hands.
Li Shiyu knows his identity, this idea has been lingering in Mu Lan’s mind, but Mu Lan can not ask or mention, and ultimately can only let such ambiguity and confusion around them. By the time he returned to Kyoto in the
second half, Li Shiyu had already changed his carriage.
The carriage was obviously prepared for Mulan.
Women’s families take a carriage back to Kyoto from here. After a bumpy day, I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep up with your physical strength when you get to Kyoto, and you’ll have an accident. So I have a carriage for you. Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly to explain.
This is Li Shiyu’s thoughtfulness.
Mu Lan bumps back and forth to the present, is some can not stand, but also did not expect Li Shiyu to notice this point. “Thank you, Fourth Master,” murmu
red Mulan.
A word let Li Shiyu look at Mu Lan, but only a few eyes, Li Shiyu calmly took back his line of sight, and did not say anything more, soon got up and got on the horse, Mu Zhanxiao also followed the horse, the carriage slowly toward the direction of Kyoto.
But the two men did not rush, so they rode aside, occasionally bowed their heads and chatted a few words, and did not mind that the speed of the carriage could not catch up with the previous speed.
Mu Lan sat quietly in the carriage, carefully looking at the scene inside the carriage, this carriage, Mu Lan recognized at a glance, is still the carriage he used to travel, even the above decoration and some casual items, are used to Mu Lan. As
she watched, she suddenly chuckled, and then lifted the curtain. Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at the two men riding outside the carriage. The smile in her eyebrows and eyes was getting stronger and stronger. While
Mu Lan was watching, Li Shiyu’s eyes suddenly fell on Mu Lan’s body, as if he had suddenly caught Mu Lan peeking at himself. The Mu Lan who
provoked quickly withdrew his eyes, but his cheeks were slightly red.
But Li Shiyu noticed that his eyes fell directly on Mu Lan’s body, but the tender and gentle eyes seemed to be unable to hide, and Mu Lan became more and more uncomfortable. Finally, she coughed lightly and naturally put the curtain down. In
such an air, there is a faint ambiguity that can not be explained clearly.
It seems that I can’t get rid of it.
And the time to return to Kyoto is a waste of a lot of time, the speed of going back is not fast, Mu Lan leaning on the carriage, slightly began to feel sleepy.
She closed her eyes and rested. Mu Lan did not wake up
until the carriage stopped at the gate of Yu Wang Fu.
……
Li Shiyu dismounted, very leisurely toward the carriage, opened the curtain but also did not expect to see the appearance of Mu Lan sleeping, quiet let Li Shiyu see some entranced.
Mu Zhanxiao did not disturb two people, standing with his back to two people, but quietly.
It was not until Li Shiyu bent down to get into the carriage that Mu Zhan Xiao was slightly surprised, but it was only for a moment that he saw Li Shiyu get out of the carriage with Mu Lan asleep in his arms.
Mu Zhanxiao was suddenly enlightened.
“I’ll have someone get ready first.” Mu Zhanxiao answered quickly.
Li Shiyu nodded, and then so calmly holding Mu Lan toward Yu Wang Fu, Chen butler was surprised to see, but he did not say anything, turned around and let the slaves put Mu Lan’s bed ready.
This way, Li Shiyu did not fake the hands of others, personally sent Mu Lan to the bed, Mu Lan is probably really tired, the whole process she did not wake up.
Just as if she smelled the familiar sandalwood fragrance, her whole person followed to relax down, until it touched the bed, Mu Lan turned around, but such a turn, it is directly to embrace Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan with connivance and did not mean to leave in a hurry. The big hand with clear
joints gently stroked Mu Lan’s delicate skin, and the deep feelings contained in his eyebrows and eyes were obvious.
He just looked at it for a long time.
It was not until there was a knock on the door outside that Li Shiyu released Mu Lan, who grunted and turned to the other side of the bed, but he did not mind.
Li Shiyu carefully covered Mu Lan with a quilt and then got up and left.
As soon as he went out, he saw shopkeeper Wang standing at the door, saying in a low voice, “Fourth Master, Lord Yung has sent a message that the Empress wants to see you.”
Li Shiyu hum sound, express to know, Wang shopkeeper did not say what more, quickly retreated. This one in the
palace, Mu Lan, is not pestering, character and true Mu Lan is very similar, but in the past year, if we can find a different place, there are still some.
Mu Lan does not want to pester you, she will not take the initiative to find you, and you will take the initiative to find her. This one in the
palace, will remind Li Shiyu from time to time, if Li Shiyu turned a deaf ear, then she will appear in person, there are many reasons, it is difficult to resist, such as to send Li Shiyu a little, such as to see Aofeng, Li Shiyu will never refuse.
Just like now.
“Fourth Master, you go back first. Shopkeeper Wang will take care of things here.”
Li Shiyu nodded and motioned, “Get up in the morning and get her some pickled bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots are very tender this season, and she always likes them. Bring some chili, not too light.”. The porridge should be slightly thicker.
Carefully explain, are Mu Lan’s preferences. Shop
keeper Wang wrote it down carefully and did not dare to neglect it at all.
After that, Li Shiyu turned around and walked out of Yuwangfu, followed by Mu Zhanxiao.
The two men got on their horses and galloped all the way in the direction of the imperial palace.
As he entered the imperial palace, Li Shiyu suddenly looked at Mu Zhanxiao and said, “Tomorrow, find a reason to send her to the palace.”
Mu Zhanxiao was surprised: “Fourth Master, this..”
True cannot be false. What is false cannot be true. Li Shi-yu said lightly, It’s not a long-term plan to put her in Yu Wang Fu. Besides, the rest of the time, I’m afraid Yu Wang Fu won’t be peaceful either. My frequent visits to the imperial palace always arouse suspicion in the dark, and she will be killed.
This is Li Shiyu’s thinking, the palace is the most dangerous place, but also the safest, at least Mu Lan in their own eyes.
But now Mu Lan, the hand does not have the strength to tie the chicken, really has the accident, she does not even have the ability to protect oneself, therefore Li Shiyu will not take any risk again.
Mu Zhanxiao nodded, but he could understand: “I know.”
“He was placed in the Imperial Hospital.” Li Shi-yu said lightly, “Her medical skills are all there, and it’s a natural place to be in the hospital.”. What’s more, the safest place these days is probably a hospital.
“Good.” Mu Zhanxiao did not object.
Indeed, the safest place in the palace is the hospital, which will not cause any trouble, and the hospital is now in charge of Ji Jang Geum.
Ji Jang Geum to a person, that is, Ji Jang Geum has the final say, just need to report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so the people in the palace will not notice Mu Lan, and do not notice Mu Lan, in the palace is the safest.
Li Shiyu also did not say anything, so leisurely toward the palace.
But Mu Zhanxiao did not go in again, and soon returned to Mu Wangfu.
……
When
Li Shiyu returned to the Imperial Dragon Hall, he saw this Mu Lan in the palace. He said calmly, “Why did Lan come to see me so late?”
“My concubine only thought about making a few small points, so she sent them to the emperor. But unexpectedly, the emperor was not in the palace.” Fake Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu with some grievance.
Li Shiyu bowed his head and chuckled, and naturally walked into the fake Mulan, so he reached out and hugged Mulan’s waist, slightly hard, and the fake Mulan was already attached to Li Shiyu’s chest.
She seemed much more shy: “Your Majesty!”
But there was still a hint of nervousness and anticipation in this shyness.
You know, in the past year, the emperor in front of her has never touched herself, except for the superficial intimacy, she knows that there is no difference between her and the concubines in the palace. At first, she thought that Li Shiyu doubted his identity, but there was no clue about Li Shiyu’s words and deeds.
But as a woman, these words are not easy to ask.
“What have you done? Show me.” Li Shiyu loosened the fake Mulan without any trace.
False Mulan to the mouth of the words so to swallow back, it is not easy to find the opportunity to ask Li Shiyu, the result, Li Shiyu can every time just right not to give false Mulan any time to open his mouth.
This makes the fake Mulan feel uncomfortable.
But on the surface, she still looked very calm and said, “OK, I’m going to get it.”
Li Shiyu gave a hum.
But Mu Lan very quickly let the person send the small point which prepared to come up, the small point design and color is extremely exquisite, a look lets the person salivate.
Li Shiyu glanced at it lightly and then said, “It looks very good.”
“Your Majesty, try?” Fake Mulan gallantly picked up a piece of rice cake and handed it to Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu did not refuse and took a bite.
But it’s only a mouthful.
Fake Mulan seems to be used to it: “How does it taste?”? If it’s all right, I’ll do it again tomorrow. It’s too late now. You can’t eat too much, or you’ll feel uncomfortable.
“Not bad.” Li Shiyu gave an evaluation.
False Mu Lan smiled, so looking at Li Shiyu, eyebrows and eyes with a faint smile, as if how can not be smoothed. Under such circumstances, Li Shiyu appears to be much calmer.
He looked at the fake Mulan and said, “It’s so late. Why don’t you go to rest?”
This is an eviction. She was a little reluctant, and then she looked at Li Shiyu and said, “I want to spend more time with the emperor. I’ve been back for a year, and the emperor is very kind to me, but the
rest of the words seem a little hard to say.”.
Li Shi-yu naturally knew what the fake Mulan was talking about. With a half-smile, he suddenly lowered his voice: “Laner wants to say something, but it doesn’t matter.”
“No.” Fake Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu angrily.
Li Shiyu did not go on, but bowed his head and kissed the false Mu Lan on the cheek. Then he said, “I’ll send you back to the palace.”
Say that finish, Li Shiyu has taken the false Mu Lan toward the Royal Dragon Hall, made it clear that there is no intention to leave the false Mu Lan overnight meaning, false Mu Lan natural up and down, can only be so passive to follow Li Shiyu to leave.
Li Shiyu did not speak all the way and quietly sent the fake Mulan back to Fengqing Palace. Neither of them talked
the whole time.
It was only at the gate of the Fengqing Palace that the false Mulan said, “Your Majesty, I will find a time for you and my concubine to take Aofeng out for a walk.”
“No need.” Li Shiyu refused. “Aofeng has been very busy with his homework recently. We’ll talk about it after he finishes his homework. The weather is not suitable to go out for a walk now. Besides, I’ve been very busy recently.”
“Your Majesty, you’ve been out of the palace a lot lately.” Fake Mulan quieted down, and casually asked.
“Well, some things have come to light about the former princess, so I want to go out.” Li Shiyu also did not conceal, said directly.
This made the false Mulan’s face change slightly, but it was only a moment, and she calmed down: “This is a good thing. This matter has troubled the emperor for a long time. It is the best thing to solve it as soon as possible.”
Li Shiyu did not respond to the fake Mu Lan’s words.
He quickly turned around and ordered the slave beside him, “Wait on the empress and go to bed.”. If the Empress is the least bit discontented, I want your heads to roll. The
slaves knelt on the ground and said, “The slaves obey the order.”
Then Mammy, the head of the family, walked toward the false Mulan and said, “Empress, the maidservant is waiting for you to go to bed.”
False Mu Lan’s mind is not on this, but in Li Shiyu’s previous words, Li Shiyu discovered the matter of the former princess, why did she have no news at all?
This is totally unreasonable, even if she is in the palace, it is impossible to have no news at all.
Now, the fake Mulan is not very calm.
In the face of the old Mammy’s words, the false Mulan spoke impatiently: “You go down, without the order of this palace, no one is allowed to disturb this palace in the bedroom.”
“Yes.” Mammy dared not say much.
Before the false Mulan came back, the people in the imperial palace did not have a deep impression of Mulan. At first, when they saw the false Mulan, they thought she was a gentle and lovely person, but they did not expect that this year’s relationship, the false Mulan was an uncertain person. If the slaves
of Fengqing Palace accidentally offended the fake Mulan, the result would not be much better.
It is a kind of punishment with a needle hidden in the cotton, but it is cruel and cruel. It does not give you any chance to struggle at all. The opportunity is to destroy you completely in an instant.
Under such circumstances, the slaves of Fengqing Palace did not have any opinions about the false Mulan, but dared not speak out, after all, the false Mulan seemed to them to be the emperor’s favorite.
So when Mu Lan opened her mouth, Mammy naturally dared not neglect her.
And such a scene, fell in the eyes of Li Shiyu, false Mu Lan probably did not know that Li Shiyu was watching not far away.
He bowed his head in silent mockery.
One side of Cheng Dezhu also slightly twisted eyebrows, for a while and a half will not know what to say.
“Is there anything wrong with the queen?” Li Shiyu suddenly asked.
“This –” Cheng Te-chu was a little afraid to say anything.
“I tell you to speak, but it doesn’t matter if you do.” Li Shiyu is also direct. Only then did
Cheng Te-chu bite the bullet and say, “Compared with before, it’s not good for the empress to have a bad temper, and it’s even more uncertain.”. In the past, the empress would not get angry with the slaves below at any time, but now the empress seems to be able to. Is it because the emperor never turns over the cards of the empress?
Cheng Dezhu asked directly, but his eyes looked cautiously at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu did not answer, but went on to ask, “Has there been any change in the queen’s year?”
“I was lucky enough to eat the little snack made by the empress, but I have a deep memory of it.” Cheng Te-chu thought for a moment and then went on to say, “There’s no big change in the taste of the little things that the empress makes now. It just looks more delicate.”
Li Shiyu looked at Cheng Dezhu this time.
“The empress is a very casual person. When she cooks small dishes, she pays more attention to the taste than to the surface. So when the empress cooks for the emperor, the slaves are still frightened, because although the food cooked by the empress is delicious, it is still a little different from what the imperial chef puts in front of the emperor.”
Cheng Te-chu tells the truth about what he thinks: “Everything the empress is doing now is really full of color, fragrance, and taste, but she always feels that something is missing.”
Cheng Dezhu said, also do not know how to open the mouth, finally so passive stand.
But Li Shiyu remained silent all the time.
This even a slave can find things, but how did Li Shiyu not find.
This false Mu Lan, the initial get along down, Li Shiyu really do not doubt that this is Mu Lan, but for a long time, many will leak out.
Li Shiyu is not stupid, now the indulgence does not mean really falling into the trap, but waiting for the right time.
But this time has not yet appeared, but never thought, Mu Lan actually came back, so a lot of things he is bound to change, even if the whole week involved, he did not want to involve Mu Lan again.
In the first two lives, he was unworthy of Mu Lan, and even if Mu Lan died, he died tragically.
And he and Mu Lan have three generations of love, this third life, if you miss each other again, then there is no future between them, everything is said to be destroyed, the afterlife, each other will not remember each other.
Sink, Li Shiyu did not say anything, and soon all the way back to the Royal Dragon Palace.
Previously false Mu Lan sent the dot is still on the table, after another look, Li Shiyu took out the silver needle into the dot, the color of the silver needle did not change, which means that the dot does not carry poison.
But Li Shiyu’s hand was just a pause, and soon calmly changed another special silver needle, which was left to Li Shiyu by Li Changyi, and could detect all the poisons in the world.
After all, some toxins can not be detected by silver needles, just like now. The color on the
special silver needle has changed slightly.
Li Shi-yu carefully wiped the silver needle clean without changing his face, and then put it away. Only then did he say, “Come.”
Cheng Dezhu immediately came in and said, “Your Majesty, what do you want to tell the slave?” “Get rid of these things,” says
Li Shi-yu blandly. “Do it yourself. No one is allowed to touch it.”
“Yes.” Cheng Dezhu doesn’t doubt him.
Soon, the little dots prepared by the fake Mu Lan on the table had been taken away directly by Cheng Dezhu. Li Shiyu looked at the empty table but quieted down.
He knew very well that it was not a matter of a day or two to detect poison on it with a silver needle.
This fake Mu Lan did not want to personally cook for Li Shiyu, as well as for Ao Feng, but Li Shiyu refused directly on the grounds that she was too tired.
Just fake Mu Lan did not give up, change the pattern to sit small.
At first, there was nothing wrong with this small point. But later these small points gradually began to appear abnormal, Li Shiyu brought Li Changyi to see, Li Changyi in the attempt, the complexion also followed a surprise.
This is a very difficult to find the slow poison, it takes several years to gradually reveal in the human body, and such a slow poison, toxicity is extremely strong, and so you can find the time, you have fatigue, and in the toxin into the time, your body is completely unaware of any.
Quiet, very cunning.
The most terrible thing is that there is no cure for this poison at present.
Li Changyi said with certainty that the poison came from the Miao family in Xiangxi, but hundreds of years ago, the poison had perished, although the medicinal properties were very strong, but the time was too long.
But now it suddenly reappears in Jianghu, which makes people think deeply.
If it’s really Mu Lan, how can you frame yourself.
Just like if Mu Lan really wants his own life, then Mu Lan will not hesitate to start, instead of using such a mean way, Mu Lan this person has never been a mean person.
As Mu Lan said, what she likes, she will rob, not under the black hand.
So, again like the person, even if there is all the memory, so what?
Dummies can’t be real.
Just these details between Mu Lan and her, why this dummy will know so clearly, if so, prove that the dummy must have a person who knows them very well.
So does this mean that this person is known to him?
Sink, Li Shiyu’s eyes flashed a trace of gloom, but soon disappeared, and now has entered the midnight.
Li Shiyu did not stay in the Royal Dragon Hall and turned to walk outside the Royal Dragon Hall.
Cheng Dezhu had just finished dealing with the little dots when he came back. When he saw Li Shiyu coming out, he was slightly stupefied. “Your Majesty, don’t you go to bed?”? It’s very late.
“I’ll go out for a while and come back. If anyone comes, I’ll stop anyone and say I’m going to bed. We’ll talk about it tomorrow morning.” Li Shiyu explained carefully.
“Yes, the slave obeys.” Cheng Dezhu answered.
Following Li Shiyu for many years, Cheng Dezhu knew very well what to ask and what not to ask. He quieted down and retreated to one side. Li Shiyu’s figure soon disappeared into the night, and no one noticed it.
…… Inside the mansion of
King Yu. When
Mu Lan woke up, he found that it was only midnight, and then looked at the surrounding environment, he realized that he had returned to Yu Wang Fu. Is she asleep? Then who carried her back to her bed?
Quiet, Mu Lan got up.
When the minion standing vigil outside Mulan’s house heard the noise, he immediately knocked at the door and asked, “Miss, do you have any orders?”
“Get me a glass of water.” Mu Lan felt a little thirsty.
“Yes.” The slave soon did as Mu Lan told him.
And Mu Lan just stood up, the feeling of pain is obvious, it is the muscle pain after riding, after all, this is a modern body, and there is no practice, even if these skills are still there, but the body can not stand.
That’s why I finally fell asleep on the way back. I didn’t
even mean to wake up.
And Mu Lan woke up in the middle of the night, also alarmed the shopkeeper Wang, as if the people in Yu Wang Fu are all for Mu Lan, Mu Lan’s every move can easily make them nervous.
“Miss, why are you awake? Is there something wrong with you? I’ll call a doctor for you at once.” Shopkeeper Wang asked Mu Lan nervously.
Mu Lan doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “I went to bed too early. I just can’t sleep now.”
Hearing this, shopkeeper Wang breathed a sigh of relief: “The slave asked the kitchen to prepare some food for the young lady.”
Don’t bother. Let them rest. I’m not hungry either. Go and rest, too. Mu Lan didn’t want to make such a fuss. Shop
keeper Wang nodded, “The slave will go down first. If you have something to do, you can call the slave at any time.”
“Good.” Mu Lan answered. When shopkeeper
Wang turned to leave, Mu Lan suddenly stopped him: “Who sent me to the house today?”
“It’s the Fourth Master.” Shopkeeper Wang didn’t hide anything.
Li Shiyu?
Mulan smiled faintly: “OK, I know.” Shop
keeper Wang did not say anything, and quickly turned around and walked out of the house. The house was quiet again, but Mu Lan was not sleepy at all.
When there was a knock on the door, Mulan answered, “Come in.”
Thinking that it should be the slave who went to get water for himself came back, but when Mu Lan looked up, he did not expect that it would be Li Shiyu who appeared in front of him.
Mu Lan was somewhat stunned, and when he came to his senses, he stood up to pay his respects. “Have you seen the emperor?”
“No need to be polite.” Li Shiyu is very direct.
He personally sent the water to Mu Lan’s mouth, the cup did not let go from Li Shiyu’s hand, Mu Lan was forced to be fed by Li Shiyu to drink water, one mouthful at a time, until the cup was finished.
“Do you want more?” Li Shiyu asked.
“No need.” Mu Lan smacked his tongue.
Even if you want to drink, where dare to let Li Shiyu personally start ah. But this Mu Lan did not say, just so looking at Li Shiyu, for a while and a half will not know why this person will appear in this time in Yu Wang Fu, feeling is a special trip to find their own?
As a result, before Mu Lan could speak, Li Shiyu volunteered, “I haven’t had dinner yet. Go and give me some noodles.”
Very casual words, two people like have never been separated, get along with the old couple for many years, also seems to be in the Great Wall, they are the same.
“Good.” Mu Lan did not refuse. She was really hungry when she
got up, but she didn’t want to bother the slaves who had fallen asleep. Now that Li Shiyu had opened his mouth, Mu Lan didn’t mind getting a bowl of noodles himself.
Soon, Mu Lan walked toward the outside of the house, the results of Mu Lan did not expect, Li Shiyu followed up.
Mu Lan is stupefied: “Does the emperor want to go to the kitchen together with civilian female?”
Li Shiyu said, “Look down at you.”
“Is the emperor afraid that civilian women will poison the emperor?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and asked directly.
“Will you?” Li Shiyu smiled and asked Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was unable to answer some of the questions, and finally looked at Li Shiyu passively, shaking his head: “Give a civilian woman ten guts, and a civilian woman won’t dare.”
Li Shiyu did not speak, but they had already arrived at the kitchen. Mu Lan was a little strange to the kitchen of Yu Wang Fu, but it did not affect her. Soon, Mu Lan found what he wanted. Li Shiyu did not move, so he stood and looked at Mu Lan.
Such a picture seems to have been lost for a long time. The movement in the
kitchen also woke up the other slaves. As a result, the slaves came and were stunned when they saw Li Shiyu and Mu Lan. Li Shiyu took a calm look. The slaves immediately retreated and did not appear in front of them again. The
kitchen was quiet, only the candlelight and the figures of the two men flashed again.
Mu Lan simply scooped up a bowl of tomato and egg noodles, which was the fastest sauce. When Mu Lan packed the noodles, Li Shiyu had already come over and naturally took over the noodles that Mu Lan had packed.
Because of this action, the skin of the two people will inevitably touch each other again.
This made Mu Lan’s cheeks slightly red, and Li Shiyu just bowed his head and chuckled, but the smile in his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be unable to hide it.
Mu Lan did not look at the person, also gave another bowl of noodles to bring out, put in the tray.
When Mu Lan was about to pick up the tray, Li Shiyu had already taken it over and said, “It’s all right if I come.”
Mu Lan: “Your Majesty,”
and Li Shiyu did not give Mu Lan any chance to open his mouth. He quickly carried the tray toward the main house, and Mu Lan hurried to follow him. Until
returning to the main house, the two did not talk, even when eating noodles, are also quiet only to hear the sound of noodles inhaled, other sounds are like a needle dropped on the ground, are clearly heard.
“It tastes good.” Li Shiyu gave face to eat the whole bowl of noodles, even the soup was clean.
Mu Lan listened to Li Shiyu’s words and coughed softly: “The civilian girl didn’t put anything.”
“When you cook something, you look at your heart.” Li Shiyu didn’t take it seriously.
Mu Lan quieted down. “People think that the emperor only likes to eat what the empress cooks.”
At least when she was like this, and now there is a fake Mulan in the palace, according to Li Shiyu should also eat this fake Mulan to do things, after all, fake Mulan’s every move is exactly the same as their own, this craft is not too bad.
As for this question, Li Shiyu gave a faint laugh and suddenly asked, “Why does that sound a little sour to me?” “The emperor thinks too much,” said
Mu Lan.
Li Shiyu also did not embarrass Mu Lan, Mu Lan still bowed his head and ate noodles in small bites, but did not eat a lot, she was already full, after all, it was late at night, Mu Lan did not eat too much, so as not to feel uncomfortable.
Just looking at the bowl of noodles that Li Shiyu had finished eating, Mu Lan felt that he had wasted too much.
And Li Shi-yu took advantage of the opportunity to look over: “Are you full?”
“I’m full.” Mu Lan nodded honestly.
Li Shiyu smiled and naturally took the bowl in front of Mu Lan. Before Mu Lan could react, Li Shiyu had already eaten quietly.
Mu Lan’s red lips moved slightly and she wanted to open her mouth, but she didn’t know where to start. It took her a long time to mutter to herself, “Your Majesty, this is what civilian women have eaten.”
Li Shi-yu just glanced at it: “Don’t you like waste?” When
they are alone together, it is true that as long as Mu Lan did not finish eating, Li Shiyu will certainly finish eating the rest of Mu Lan.
But this is not the case now.
Mu Lan was Li Shiyu such words can not say, and finally can only look at Li Shiyu embarrassed, until Li Shiyu finished eating the noodles in the bowl. Then
he called someone to clean up the table.
The slave is also the atmosphere dare not breathe, quickly packed things, hurried out, a moment did not stay more.
Inside the house, it was quiet again. Embarrassed,
Mu Lan did not speak, and Li Shiyu did not open his mouth. He just watched. Finally, Mu Lan could not help but break the silence: “Your Majesty, why did you suddenly come to Minnu in the evening?”
“If you want to come, you will come naturally.” Li Shiyu is also direct.
Mu Lan was Li Shiyu said also calm, did not say anything, just so quiet standing.
And Li Shiyu so looked at Mu Lan, low laugh out loud, eyes in the spoiling is obvious, there is no meaning to cover up, but let Mu Lan more uncomfortable. Just
as Mu Lan was thinking about how to open his mouth, Li Shiyu suddenly asked, “Tell Mammy yuan that your purpose is for me.”
Mu Lan was stunned, but she didn’t expect Mammy yuan to say all this to Li Shiyu.
But think about it, there is nothing strange, yuan Mammy was originally Mu Zhanxiao’s person, if Li Shiyu personally asked, yuan Mammy can not have any concealment, if Mu Lan is a disloyal person, yuan Mammy will suffer, smart people will tell the truth.
When Li Shiyu opened his mouth like this, Mu Lan coughed lightly and his ears were slightly red.
“Since the purpose is for me, I have now taken the initiative to send it to the door, but you have not said anything?” Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows as if teasing Mu Lan.
Mu Lan became more and more passive, but he quickly replied, “Didn’t the civilian girl cook noodles for the emperor?”
“What if I don’t come?” Li Shiyu asked again.
“Isn’t the emperor coming?” Mu Lan also gradually calmed down. “What’s more, didn’t the emperor make a special trip to send the civilian girl back to the main house today?”
Li Shiyu’s eyebrows and eyes always had a faint smile: “You still have sharp teeth.”. I’m not willing to suffer losses at all. It
is an affirmative sentence, as if Li Shiyu has always known Mu Lan very well, and indeed very well. In the face of such Li Shiyu, Mu Lan did not know what to say, and ultimately could only look at Li Shiyu so passively.
The room fell silent again. When he opened his mouth
again, it was still Li Shiyu, and for a long time afterwards, Li Shiyu asked, and Mu Lan answered, but the two of them asked and answered, and the atmosphere was neither good nor bad.
Until Mu Lan looked at the sky outside the house, unconsciously, Li Shiyu actually stayed here for two hours.
“Your Majesty, aren’t you going back to the palace?” Mu Lan withdrew his eyes and looked at Li Shiyu quietly.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan with a half-smile. “Are you driving me away?”
I dare not. I just don’t want the emperor to delay the early court. Mu Lan is serious.
“Yes, too.” Li Shiyu nodded.
Mu Lan thought that when Li Shiyu was going to leave, the man looked at himself for a moment, and this time, Mu Lan quieted down and was passively looked at by Li Shiyu, as if he was still a little nervous.
Until Li Shiyu came in the direction of Mu Lan, Mu Lan’s heart beat faster and faster, and her chin had been raised by Li Shiyu’s fingers, forced to look at the man.
“Since your purpose is me, let Zhan Xiao find a name to send you to the palace.” Li Shiyu said naturally, as if the matter had been carefully considered.
And the purpose of appearing here tonight is just to finish this sentence with Mulan.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and said, “Your Majesty, the women of the people have entered the palace..”
“If you don’t go to the palace, how can you get close to me?” Li Shiyu asked directly, “If you want to get close to me, you must first please the prince, or do you not want to see the prince?”
This is a roundabout reference to Ao Feng.
Is really some fear Mu Lan beat a retreat, but Li Shiyu is very clear, Ao Feng is Mu Lan’s weakness, for Ao Feng, Mu Lan will not have any retreat.
Sure enough, Li Shiyu saw a little starlight in Mu Lan’s eyes, it was a kind of expectation, the expectation of the proud wind, such expectation made Li Shiyu a little jealous, but such jealousy was not revealed on the surface, just hidden in the wide sleeves of the forehead hand tight.
Since Ao Feng appeared, in Mu Lan’s world, the first one is Ao Feng, and he has already retreated to the back. The most important thing is that you can’t be jealous of Ao Feng, otherwise you will offend Mu Lan.
And Mulan knew that this was clearly a trap, but this was also Mulan’s ultimate goal. She quieted down: “Good.”
Li Shiyu said, “I’m waiting for you in the palace.”
The finger pulp with a thin cocoon so gently rubbed Mu Lan’s cheeks, deep eyes are not instantaneous fall on Mu Lan’s body, Mu Lan was seen some sweat.
When Mu Lan could not hold back, Li Shiyu let go of Mu Lan and said, “I’ll go back first.”
When Li Shiyu turned around and walked to the door, Mu Lan suddenly said, “Your Majesty.”
Li Shiyu looked over and motioned to Mu Lan to go on. Mu Lan did not hesitate: “In what name do you want civilian women to enter the palace?”
“What name do you want to use?” Li Shiyu asked in reply.
Mu Lan says bluntly: “People’s women don’t seem to be conspicuous.”
And Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan and said with a smile, “That’s in the hospital.”. Now the deputy head of the hospital is Ji Jang Geum. You won’t have any problems with her. It’s easier to go anywhere.
Mu Lan nodded.
But Li Shiyu didn’t say anything. He smiled at Mu Lan and said, “I’ll go first.”
“The women of the people respectfully see the emperor off.” Mu Lan is blessed. Only then did
Li Shiyu turn around and go out, and soon his tall figure disappeared into the night. Mu Lan stood in place, until Li Shiyu left, this just closed the door of the main house, is really began to feel sleepy again.
She did not hesitate to go back to sleep.
When I woke up again, the sky was already bright, and naturally no one in Yuwangfu was making a noise about Mu Lan.
Near noon, Mulan woke up slowly, and not long after Mulan woke up, Gardenia came in hurriedly: “Miss, Lord Mu is here.” Not surprised
, Mulan nodded, “I’ll be ready soon. Let Lord Mulan wait for me in the front hall.”
“Yes.” Gardenia answered.
Mu Lan quickly packed himself up and walked toward the front hall. When Mu Zhanxiao saw Mu Lan, he said directly, “The emperor asked me to take you to the palace and live in the Imperial Hospital.”. In the morning, Ji Yi Nu has asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs for someone, so now you belong to Ji Yi Nu, I and Ji Yi Nu explained, there will be no problem. As for Ao Feng, it’s easy to find a chance.
As long as in the palace, want to see Aofeng is much easier, outside the palace, after all, many inconveniences, to find a reason is not an easy thing.
Besides, there are many people staring at Ao Feng now.
But Mu Lan nodded to show that he knew: “I have nothing to take with me, and I can go at any time.”
Mu Zhanxiao raised his eyebrows and said, “You seem to have expected it.”
“Do you believe he was here with me last night?” Mu Lan asked Mu Zhanxiao.
Mu Zhanxiao was surprised: “Did the emperor come again yesterday?”
“Yes, I ate a bowl of noodles from here and didn’t leave until it was almost dawn.” Mu Lan said directly.
Mu Zhanxiao was suddenly enlightened. No wonder you’re not curious at all. This was arranged by the emperor. So I think the emperor must have known about it, but he didn’t expose it. After all, the emperor is afraid of what happened a few years ago.
Mu Lan didn’t say anything, but Mu Zhanxiao didn’t hesitate. “Now that you know, it’s easy to do. I don’t need to explain much. We’ll go straight into the palace. If you want to leave the palace later, you just have to tell Doctor Ji. Doctor Ji will give you a pass.” The people in the
hospital are not the same as the people in other places in the palace. The reason for the people in the hospital to leave the palace is aboveboard, so as long as the female doctor allows, there is no need to go through the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
“Good.” Mu Lan answered.
Suddenly Mu Lan looked at Mu Zhanxiao and said, “By the way, how is Zhihua doing now?” Although
she only left a few days, but in the big week has passed a few years, Mu Lan remembered that when he left, the flesh of the painting has just begun to grow up, if not careful, it is very likely that all his previous efforts will be wasted.
And come back to now, Mu Lan did not have time to care about the situation of Mu Zhihua, now got empty, this just opened his mouth to ask Mu Zhanxiao.
“She became a monk last year, in the Kaiyuan Temple.” Mu Zhanxiao explained, After you left, her skin had already begun to grow. Before she became a monk, it wasn’t like before, but at least it wasn’t as seeping as before. It’s okay to find a good family. But she didn’t have such an idea. It seemed that after going through so much, all the four were empty, so she finally chose to become a monk.
Mu Lan was a little surprised, but not too surprised. After such a change, it is not easy for
people to survive as strong as Mu Zhihua. Bidding may be the best for Mu Zhihua.
“I’ll take you to see her at Kaiyuan Temple sometime.” Mu Zhanxiao went on to say, Before the Hungry Ghost Festival, I went to see her once. In the Kaiyuan Temple, she was quite happy. Compared with the way she was cautious in front of everyone in the Mu Mansion, she seemed much happier. The Buddha won’t ask too many questions.
“Good.” Mu Lan answered, “It’s enough that she can forget those painful things.”
Mu Zhanxiao hum.
Two people are all the way to Yuwangfu outside, Mu Lan did not bring any clothes, in the hospital, there are too hospital to wear clothes, she came back, Mu Zhanxiao to prepare clothes are not suitable to bring into the hospital.
So Mu Lan went empty-handed.
But Mu Zhanxiao had already prepared the carriage, and the carriage sped away in the direction of the imperial palace. When the
carriage stopped at the east gate of the Imperial Palace, Mu Lan looked at the red walls and tiles in front of him and said, “I’ve been back and forth, I don’t know how many times.”
Mu Zhanxiao smiled in a low voice: “This time, I won’t leave again.”
Mu Lan also laughed.
Mu Zhanxiao helped Mu Lan out of the carriage and entered the palace from the east gate. When the guards at the east gate saw Mu Zhanxiao, they immediately said, “See Lord Mu.”
“Get up.” Mu Zhanxiao opened his mouth lightly.
The guard asked again, “Lord Mu, who is this?”
“Didn’t the Ministry of Internal Affairs inform you that this is the man that Ji Yi-nu wants?” Mu Zhanxiao looked at the guards in front of him without changing his face.
The guard immediately nodded, “My subordinates know. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already informed me. Please.”
Then the guards got out of the way, and Mu Zhanxiao took Mu Lan to the imperial palace.
Mu Lan quietly looked at every scene and object in the imperial palace, and then said, “This imperial palace has never changed in many years.”
“It’s changed, but it’s just a subtle difference, and it’s hard to see with the naked eye.” Mu Zhanxiao explains, For example, there is an extra tree, and the well in front of it has been filled up, and there are more flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden. If you’re not careful, it’s hard to find out.
Mu Lan nodded, but listened carefully.
Mu Zhanxiao is also very responsible to explain everything in the imperial palace with Mu Lan. As
he neared the hospital, Mulan suddenly said, “I want to see her.”
“Who?” Mu Zhanxiao twisted his eyebrows and looked at Mu Lan like this. Then he suddenly realized, “Are you talking about the one from the Fengqing Palace?”
“Exactly.” Mu Lan did not deny it.
Look for an opportunity, you let Ji Yi-nu take you there. The emperor would regularly ask Ji to go to the Fengqing Palace to examine that one, and it would be a legitimate thing for Ji to take you with her. Mu Zhanxiao said directly.
Mu Lan nodded, and then she looked at Mu Zhanxiao like this: “That concubine?”
“I don’t know.” Mu Zhanxiao knew what Mu Lan was asking. “But Ji has never been an eventful person, so she won’t interfere and ask more questions. She will only act according to orders. You don’t have to worry.”
This point, Mu Lan is clear, to Ji Jang Geum, Mu Lan does not have any not to feel relieved place.
Even if Ji Jang Geum knew his identity, Ji Jang Geum would not say a word more.
Mu Lan did not open his mouth to say anything more, and the imperial palace is not a place to chat after all, Mu Zhanxiao and Mu Lan also kept a proper distance to avoid causing trouble to each other.
“If I send you here, you can go in and say that you’re looking for the girl.” Mu Zhanxiao explained at the gate of the Imperial Hospital, “I will also arrange for someone to be next to you. She will take the initiative to find you. You don’t have to worry.”
“Thank you.” Mu Lan answered.
Suddenly, Mu Lan thought of something and asked, “Hsiao-lien.”
Hsiao-lien thought that Mu Lan had just had an accident in the Western Regions. Until they left, Hsiao-lien never woke up, and she was not suitable for long-distance travel, so she stayed in the Western Regions.
Mu Zhanxiao mentioned the person he was looking for, and Mu Lan thought of Xiaolian.
Many years
later, when Mu Zhanxiao heard Mu Lan mention the matter of Xiaolian, he quieted down and then opened his mouth to explain: Xiaolian has been in a coma and has not woken up. After two years in the Western Regions, she finally left. The king of the Western Regions has done his best.
Mu Lan listened and stood silently.
This ending, in fact, is just like the ending of Mu Zhihua, which does not surprise Mu Lan.
This is not a modern society, medical treatment is not lacking, people who fall into coma are almost sentenced to death, let alone big week, even in modern society, in such a vegetative state, doctors do not have any hope, let alone ancient times.
Death is also a reasonable thing.
“Hsiao-lien knows that you miss her so much, so even if you leave, you’ll be able to close your eyes.” Mu Zhanxiao is appeasing Mu Lan.
Mu Lan’s eyes were a little red. “I’ll just go in myself,” she said. “You go back.”
“Good.” Mu Zhanxiao didn’t say much either. “I’ll see you go in.”
Then Mu Lan turned to walk towards the hospital, and Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan’s figure disappeared, and then turned to leave.
…… In
the hospital. When
Mu Lan entered the hospital, it was obvious that the people in the hospital had long known that someone would come today, and soon someone took Mu Lan to find Ji Jang Geum. When
Ji Jang Geum saw Mu Lan, he said politely, “You can call me Ji Yi Nu.”. Lord Mu has told me that I will not interfere with anything. If you need anything, just ask me.
“Thank you, Doctor Ji.” Mu Lan answered.
Ji Jang Geum has always been a less talkative person, so Ji Jang Geum did not ask much, just looked at Mu Lan nodded, and then personally took Mu Lan to her wing. All the
doctors and women live here, but you are in a separate room. I am right next to you. Ji Chang-jin answered, “Usually the Imperial Palace Hospital is not busy. Unless someone in the palace has an accident, most of them are leading their disciples and writing medical skills.”
Mu Lan hum, said he knew.
But Ji Jang Geum did not explain any more, sent Mu Lan to the wing, nodded, and quickly turned away.
Before long, Mu Zhanxiao sent people have taken the initiative to find Mu Lan, is too much to serve a maidservant in the hospital, looks young, but is clever and sensible, Mu Lan is not annoying.
“What’s your name?” Mu Lan asked the little maid in front of him.
“The maidservant’s name is Hsia Ho.” Xia He answered respectfully.
Good. I know. Mu Lan nodded. “If you have something to do, I’ll come to you. If you have nothing to do, you can go to rest.”
“Yes.” “The maidservant is in the room next to yours. If you shout, the maidservant will come.”
That is the small room attached to the Mulan wing, Xia He lives here, also naturally in order to better serve Mulan, can be on call, obviously has long been arranged things.
Mu Lan nodded, and Xia He retreated.
……
Time flies by. More than
half a month passed in a twinkling of an eye.
Mulan in addition to the change of place, life has not changed much, almost all in the hospital door does not go out, but Mulan is not an idle person, at least in the writing of medical books, Mulan is the first to point out the key to the problem.
Ji Jang Geum is to Mu Lan sit up and take notice, it is natural to give the medical book to Mu Lan, and too hospital people also noticed Mu Lan, meet some difficult and complicated diseases will take the initiative to come to ask Mu Lan, Mu Lan is to know everything.
So that in this short period of time, Mu Lan has also been praised by many people, and the days in the hospital are also substantial.
On the contrary, after entering the palace, Mu Lan had never seen Li Shiyu, let alone others. But Mu Zhanxiao actually came once, two people also did not have how to chat, asked for a cup of tea here in Mu Lan, left. Only then did
Mu Lan know that Ao Feng was too busy with his studies to get out recently.
Li Shiyu, on the other hand, was in the season of seeing foreign countries, and it was difficult for him to get out for a while and a half, and the one who accompanied Li Shiyu was naturally the one in Fengqing Palace.
Mu Lan nodded to show that he knew, and his face did not change at all. Still,
Mu Zhanxiao explained for Li Shiyu: “The one from Fengqing Palace is a fake, but now everyone in Dazhou knows that she is a country. When foreign envoys come, the emperor must take her with him.”
Mulan smiled. “I’m not angry about this.”
“That’s what the emperor asked me to tell you.” Mu Zhanxiao also laughed and made the words clear.
“That won’t be necessary.” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows.
Mu Zhanxiao said briskly, “Whether it’s necessary or not, my words have been conveyed, and I still have something to do. I can’t stay here any longer.”. But compared to the emperor, I have more opportunities to come to the Imperial Hospital. After all, I can get medicine for my mother and the paintings at the Kaiyuan Temple.
Mu Lan laughed out loud and shook his head helplessly.
It’s really a reasonable explanation.
But Mu Lan also did not say much, got up to send Mu Zhanxiao out, sent to the door, Mu Zhanxiao let Mu Lan stop.
Mu Lan did not force it.
“When the emperor has finished his work, he will probably find an opportunity to see you.” Mu Zhanxiao said.
Mu Lan didn’t say anything.
And Mu Zhanxiao also did not open his mouth again, quickly turned around and took the medicine for Mu Zhihua and his mother, and left the hospital in a hurry. After
Mu Lan watched Mu Zhanxiao leave, he refocused his attention on the book to be revised in front of him.
But this time, Mu Lan did not look long, Ji Jang Geum came in person.
“Doctor Ji, are you looking for me?” Mu Lan asked directly.
Ji Changjin nodded: “The empress has been following the emperor to see foreign envoys for the past half month. She’s probably tired and a little uncomfortable. The Fengqing Palace has sent a message asking me to go over and have a look, and I’ll just take you with me.”
Other words, Ji Jang Geum did not say much.
Mu Lan is very clear, Ji Jang Geum’s assistant is not himself, even if you want to take, should not be to take their own, can make a special trip, this is obviously Mu Zhanxiao good account.
Mulan nodded: “Do I need to prepare anything?”
“No, just take the medicine box and follow me.” “But remember, don’t say too much in the Fengqing Palace. The Empress likes to be quiet. If something happens in the Fengqing Palace, no one can protect you.”
Ji Jang Geum is reminding Mu Lan.
Mu Lan nodded and motioned, “Thank you, Doctor Ji, for reminding me. I won’t say a word more.”
Ji Jang Geum gave a hum and didn’t ask any more questions. He quickly gave Mu Lan his medical kit and left the Imperial Hospital with Mu Lan in a hurry and went directly to the Fengqing Palace. On the way
to Fengqing Palace, Mu Lan looked at the scenery around him, and then thought of what Mu Zhanxiao said, the imperial palace just looks the same, but after so many years, there are always places where things have changed.
Even this Fengqing Palace is somewhat different.
At least Mu Lan knows his living habits, and this one in Fengqing Palace has inadvertently made a change.
It’s just that outsiders can’t notice it, but people who really get along with Mu Lan day and night can’t be aware of it.
“Doctor Ji, wait a moment. The maidservant is going to pass on the message to the empress doctor.” The maidservant at the door stopped Ji Jang Geum.
Ji Jang Geum nodded his head and said, “Thank you.”
The maidservant took a look at the side of Mu Lan, but did not ask what, because of the beauty of Mu Lan, can not help but take a look, even a plain face, people can not move.
And this is not Ji Jang Geum’s usual assistant.
However, the matter of the hospital has always been Ji Jang Geum’s decision, it is not the turn of others to interfere, she is just a slave, naturally do not dare to ask what.
Soon, she turned and entered the Fengqing Palace.
Ji Jang Geum waited patiently outside with Mu Lan, but it wasn’t long before the maidservant who had gone to communicate with him came back: “Doctor Ji, please welcome the empress.”
Ji Jang Geum nodded, this just did not look at the trace of Mu Lan, Mu Lan did not say anything, quietly followed Ji Jang Geum toward the Fengqing Palace.
Just into the Fengqing Palace, Mu Lan’s eyebrows were slightly twisted up. What
she smelled in the air was the fragrance of aphrodisiac, the implication of which was self-evident, but Mu Lan did not expose anything, let alone ask, and Ji Jang Geum did not explain.
The two men went around the front hall and soon appeared in the bedroom.
But the false Mu Lan so leans on the soft collapse to rest, anyone looks, this is a beautiful woman lying on the bed the picture, the astonishing lets the human be unable to move the eye.
Ji Jang Geum knelt down and paid his respects. “I’ve seen the empress. She’s a thousand years old.”
Mu Lan naturally knelt down.
But the fake Mulan waved his hand and said, “Doctor Ji doesn’t need to be polite, but this palace is in trouble with Doctor Ji.”
“No.” Ji Yi-nu, on the other hand, was calm. “The empress is not in good health, and it must be too much to work so hard. If I show the empress and prescribe some medicine to calm the nerves, there should be no big deal.”. But the empress should pay attention to rest.
“Alas,” sighed the false Mulan. “I’m afraid this body will drag the emperor down, and I haven’t fulfilled my duty as a country.”
“The emperor naturally doesn’t blame the empress. The empress’s body is the most important thing in the emperor’s heart.” Ji Jang Geum said.
This is the false Mu Lan coax very happy, but also with Ji Jang Geum’s inspection.
Ji Jang Geum carefully felt the pulse of the false Mulan, but calmly said, “The empress is just overworked. There’s nothing else.”
Fake Mulan nodded.
And Mu Lan never spoke, and Ji Jang Geum is a tacit understanding, Ji Jang Geum what, Mu Lan can be the first time to take out to her, the whole Mu Lan also lowered his head.
Instead, it was the fake Mulan who looked at Mulan and slightly twisted his eyebrows: “I’ve never seen this one before.”
“Tell the empress that this is Xiao Cen, a doctor’s maid who has just entered the palace. I’ll take her with me so that I can take charge of my own affairs.” Ji Jang Geum took his time to explain.
“Doctor Ji has worked very hard.” Fake Mulan sounded sympathetic, but then she looked at Mulan and said, “Look up, take a look at this palace.”
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered.
Mu Lan then raised his head and looked at the fake Mu Lan in front of him. This time, Mu Lan, who had always been calm, could not help flashing a trace of consternation in his eyes.
It’s really too much like.
That kind of feeling, a gesture, at first glance, or in the absence of deep friendship, is completely imperceptible of any abnormality.
Mu Lan knows that there are similar people in this world, but it is really the first time that Mu Lan has seen such a similar person. Under such circumstances, the fake Mulan is looking at Mulan, and Mulan is also looking at each other, but there is no trace of some.
This person, as Mu Zhanxiao said, is not a face-changing or transfiguration, her previous body has been destroyed, the skin on the body does not need to change face, if transfiguration, Mu Lan will not be unable to see, where this person came from.
Mu Lan slightly twisted eyebrows, is thinking, but the surface has always been quiet, so well-behaved standing, let the people in front of him look at himself.
But Mulan’s mind besides Mulan himself knows, outsiders do not know, and fake Mulan looks at the person in front of him, that is a jealous mood, a woman does not like any woman who looks better than herself to appear in front of him, even though Mulan in front of him is just a medical woman, not a concubine in the harem. But as long as it is in this palace, it seems that there is a little more threat.
“I’m sure you must have something special. Otherwise, how could you be taken in by Ji Yi-nu and enter the palace?” For a long time, false Mu Lan just opened his mouth and said lightly.
Mu Lan was quiet, but Ji Yi Nu was calm.
“Tell me about yourself.” Fake Mulan went on to say, “Why did you think of coming to the palace? Won’t the people be free?” Only then did
Mu Lan open her mouth: The maidservant had admired Ji Yi-nu for a long time. When she learned that the palace was recruiting a medical woman, she let the maidservant come on her own initiative. It was the maidservant’s good fortune that Ji Yi-nu could take a fancy to the maidservant. So when Ji Yi-nu opened her mouth, the maidservant came without hesitation. Although the people are free, the maidservant knows that if she wants to learn better medical skills, she must go to the palace. After all, the hospital has the best doctors in the world.
Mu Lan’s answer is neither humble nor pushy, advance and retreat properly. To know that Mu Lan has lived in the palace for many years, how can he be timid under such circumstances.
Naturally, Mu Lan’s answer is also impeccable.
She also knew that with the current identity of the fake Mulan, it was impossible to be too persistent to a medical woman, otherwise, it would inevitably be identified that the fake Mulan was in the dike, and if Mulan had an accident in the palace in the future, it would inevitably be associated with the fake Mulan in front of her.
Sure enough, as Mu Lan thought, false Mu Lan listened to her answer, nodded, so cold hum, also did not say anything.
As soon as Doctor Ji wrote the prescription, the slave beside him quickly took it and went to fetch the medicine. Doctor Ji’s daughter Sura was indifferent, and naturally she would not stay in front of the false Mulan. She quickly nodded her head and motioned, “I will leave first. If the empress has something to do, I will come immediately.”
Fake Mu Lan also understood Ji Jang Geum’s temper and nodded without saying anything.
Then, Ji Jang Geum got up and left calmly with Mu Lan, while the false Mu Lan’s eyes still fell on Mu Lan’s body, and the vigilance in the eyebrows and eyes never fell.
It was not until the two had left the Fengqing Palace that the false Mulan opened his mouth and looked at the slave on one side. “Go and ask the palace what happened to this new doctor girl.”
“Yes.” Slaves dare not neglect.
They naturally also saw, Mu Lan is too beautiful, Mu Lan to the first glance, they noticed, even if a plain face, people feel that the photographic memory, if a little dress up, the imperial concubine Dai is afraid to be pale. How can we not attract the attention of others.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the fake Mulan is nervous.
This harem has been calm for too long, or this palace has been calm for too long, if this Mu Lan is really favored by the emperor, it is hard to say, perhaps now the pattern of the harem will change.
Soon, the slave hurried out, quickly to inquire about the situation of Mu Lan, but the slave inquired about the situation, not as much as Mu Lan himself said, only know that this Mu Lan is Ji Jang Geum allowed to enter the palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs really has the name of this Mu Lan, other things are unknown.
I’m afraid I’m going to leave the palace to investigate.
“Empress, if you don’t feel at ease, I’ll send someone out of the palace to check it out.” The slave who came back said carefully in the false Mulan’s ear.
Fake Mulan frowned slightly and said, “No, a woman in a hospital can’t do anything. Just leave it like this. If something happens, we’ll talk about it later.”
“Yes.” The slave answered and stood respectfully aside.
But false Mu Lan can not say that kind of feeling, as if this person is too hospital, but can bring a fatal threat to themselves, even when she looked at herself, it seems that she was seen clearly from the bottom of her heart by this person, without any ability to resist.
Fake Mu Lan sank and suppressed his restless mood. Once again
, Fengqing Palace fell into silence, and no one said anything more.
……
At that time, when Doctor
Ji was walking out of the Fengqing Palace with Mu Lan, Doctor Ji suddenly looked at Mu Lan and said, “Little Cen, I’m afraid your face is a threat. The queen probably has some ideas about you.”
Mulan grunted, not denying it: “I noticed.”
“You still have to be more careful about everything. Sometimes this palace is like a place where people eat and don’t spit out their bones. You don’t even know how people disappear, even in the Imperial Hospital.” “You were entrusted to me. Naturally, I want to take good care of you. If you don’t have my permission, don’t leave the hospital without permission. I can make decisions in the hospital. If I leave the hospital, I can’t do anything about it.”
Ji Jang Geum’s words were not the slightest bit of a joke. Mu Lan nodded, but said gratefully, “Thank you, Doctor Ji, for reminding me. I’m sure I won’t cause you any trouble.”
“I’ve lived to this day, and I’m not afraid of trouble.” Ji Jang Geum tells the truth, “It’s just that the empress is also a very special existence, and no one can neglect her.”
The words seemed to mean something, which made Mu Lan look at Ji Jang Geum and quiet down.
This is to tell oneself, Ji Jang Geum actually know what? But all this is just Mu Lan’s guess, Mu Lan is not sure, and some words, really not suitable for the initiative to tear the veil now, can only so make do. There seems to be no other way
but to wait for the opportunity.
After all, Li Shiyu and Mu Zhanxiao have to find her behind-the-scenes person from this fake Mu Lan, otherwise, why put it like this, that is not to add to their own congestion?
Sinking, Mu Lan didn’t say anything, but the doctor girl from the Imperial Hospital hurried over and said, “Doctor girl Ji, Empress De Fei wants you to go to her place.”
“Good.” Ji Jang Geum didn’t refuse.
Soon Ji Changjin turned and looked at Mulan. “Go through the Imperial Garden ahead, and you’ll arrive at the Imperial Hospital. You go back first, and I’ll go to Defei and have a look.”
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered.
Ji medical woman did not stay, and soon walked toward the bedroom of the imperial concubine, originally Ji medical woman could not go out with Mu Lan, because of Mu Zhanxiao’s confession, so Ji medical woman took Mu Lan to the Fengqing Palace, and now go to the imperial concubine, that naturally there is no need to take Mu Lan.
Mu Lan also did not hesitate, very quickly toward the direction of the hospital.
The whole process, Mu Lan are low eyebrows, in deep thought, her mind filtered a person, want to screen out the most understanding of their own, but the most suspicious people, but even though Mu Lan filtered over and over again, but also never found the right person. It is impossible for
these people to be sentenced to themselves and Li Shiyu.
So in front of this fake Mu Lan is with whom to join hands, and this person, Mu Lan is also no doubt, must be their own understanding and recognition.
Sink, Mu Lan more and more quiet down, because with the mind, so completely did not notice the situation in front of him, the whole time in the head down, quickly toward the direction of the hospital.
“Ah!” Mu Lan suddenly exclaimed.
Is really too absorbed, unexpectedly did not notice that he hit a person, this, Mu Lan just looked up has already smelled the familiar sandalwood smell, this, Mu Lan slightly stunned, also did not expect that the person he hit was Li Shiyu.
At this moment, Mu Lan came to his senses and immediately said, “See the emperor. Long live the emperor.”
“Get up.” Li Shiyu helped Mu Lan up himself. “I told you, you don’t need to be polite when you see me.”
Mu Lan did not speak, she did not avoid Li Shiyu’s eyes, this seems to be half a month into the palace, the first time to see Li Shiyu, this person is busy? And this direction is the only way to Fengqing Palace, so is Li Shiyu the one who went to see Fengqing Palace?
Although curious, but Mu Lan also did not open his mouth to ask more, this is not the identity of Mu Lan can now ask the question, she finally just so passive standing.
“Where did you go?” Li Shiyu asked directly.
Mu Lan did not hide anything: “The empress was not feeling well, and the maidservant went to the Fengqing Palace with Ji Yi-nu.”
“So?” Li Shiyu nodded calmly and did not have any doubt because of Mu Lan’s words. “Have you seen the empress?”
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered.
“How does it feel to see the empress?” Li Shiyu asked directly.
Mu Lan some unexpected Li Shiyu took the initiative to ask himself these questions, but the surface of Mu Lan is particularly calm, looking at Li Shiyu, Mu Lan suddenly quiet down.
“Tell the truth.” Li Shiyu dispelled Mu Lan’s misgivings. “In front of me, you don’t have to worry too much. I won’t blame you for what you think or say.”
This, Li Shiyu is said directly, and looking at Mu Lan’s eyes is a moment, without a trace of hesitation. Mu Lan knew that Li Shiyu had long suspected this fake Mu Lan, so she didn’t think much about it after taking a deep breath.
Soon, she looked at Li Shiyu. “At first glance, the maidservant could not see that the empress had any problems.”
“What if you look again?” Li Shiyu asked again.
“The maidservant didn’t get a chance to look again.” Mu Lan is also telling the truth, “Besides, the maidservant is not a person around the empress, and she can’t understand the empress.” After
the false Mulan returned to the palace, the slaves in the Fengqing Palace were not the previous slaves, they had all been changed, and many of them were personally selected by the false Mulan, who had nothing to do with the people who had stayed with Mulan before.
So I really can’t feel anything for a while.
Li Shi-yu nods: “The year the empress has come back is not much different from before. Occasionally it seems uncertain.”
Mu Lan hum sound, this is not Mu Lan contact, naturally dare not make a conclusion.
And Li Shiyu did not continue the topic of false Mu Lan, but suddenly looked at Mu Lan: “I just want to go to the East Palace, do you want to go with me?”
Mu Lan accident, this place is not the direction to the East Palace, but Li Shiyu suddenly mentioned this point, quiet, Mu Lan did not say anything, go to the East Palace is what Mu Lan thought, where can see the proud wind, naturally went to Mu Lan is not any harm.
She is delighted.
So even without thinking about it, Mu Lan accepted: “That’s the honor of the maidservant.”
Li Shi-yu nodded: “Then keep up.”
Then, Li Shiyu turned directly at the intersection and walked in the direction of the East Palace. Mu Lan dared not hesitate to follow Li Shiyu’s pace, but Li Shiyu slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, just to match Mu Lan’s footsteps.
Mu Lan aware of it, the corners of the mouth can not help but rise, it is a pleasant mood, but Mu Lan did not open his mouth to say much.
There is a certain distance between them, but in Li Shiyu’s deliberate footsteps, they seem to have a casual intimacy.
Occasionally each other’s clothes will brush past, but soon separated.
“Did you ever get used to it at the hospital?” Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth.
Not bad. It feels good to apply what we have learned. Mu Lan smiled.
“That’s good.” Li Shiyu nodded and looked at Mu Lan. “You are just a person I have temporarily deposited in the Imperial Hospital. When the time is ripe, you must leave the Imperial Hospital.”
Mu Lan quieted down. “The maidservant left the Imperial Hospital. Where are you going?”
“Anywhere you want to go.” Li Shiyu is also direct.
Mu Lan listened to Li Shiyu’s words, bowed his head and chuckled, but did not say anything, just quietly followed Li Shiyu’s side, but Li Shiyu suddenly held Mu Lan behind him, so that the two people who were already close to each other were much closer.
“Be careful, there is a threshold.” Li Shiyu reminded Mu Lan.
Mu Lan how can not be enough, but with Li Shiyu’s action, as if this person is intentional, deliberately to use such an excuse, so that he can support Mu Lan fair and square.
“The maidservant saw it.” Mu Lan answered.
And Li Shiyu, as Mu Lan guessed, after holding Mu Lan, no longer let go, that hand naturally clasped Mu Lan’s wrist.
“Your Majesty, you..” Mu Lan looked up at Li Shiyu.
Li Shi-yu smiled. “What’s wrong with that?”
“The maidservant doesn’t want to be too high-profile in the palace and cause any trouble.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly.
“No.” Li Shi-yu is quite sure: “This is a section of road that Ao Feng often walks on. Usually I don’t even see a single person. Ao Feng doesn’t like to go through places where there are many people. Later, I accidentally discovered it, and I noticed that the scenery on this section of the road is very good.”
Li Shiyu explained, and when Mu Lan heard Ao Feng, he could not help but get serious and listen quietly with his head on his side.
But Li Shiyu is holding Mu Lan’s hand also so has not loosened, two people actually do not talk deliberately, a section of road, chats also is the matter of the proud wind.
“Aofeng and Zhan Xiao’s son Zhiyi are also in the Taifu’s class together. The relationship between them is very good, just like that between me and Zhan Xiao in those days.” Li Shiyu continued.
Mulan listened quietly.
At that time, Li Shiyu was not favored, so was Mu Zhanxiao, so it was Mu Zhantian who followed Li Shiyuan, while Mu Zhanxiao followed Li Shiyu. Since then, the people they were loyal to had not changed, but it was also fate, just like Mu Zhiyi and Aofeng now.
Li Shiyu opened his mouth slowly, and when he reached the intersection, his hand loosened Mu Lan.
Then, the two men seemed to return to their previous appearance and walked quietly in the direction of the East Palace.
……
Linglong was not surprised to see Li Shiyu. Since Mu Lan left, Li Shiyu appeared in the East Palace every day, and even stayed in the East Palace longer than ever.
But Li Shiyu is usually followed by Cheng Dezhu or Rong Jiurong Temple, but unexpectedly, today the side is followed by a woman, this woman’s dress looks like a person from the hospital, Linglong is a little curious, but Linglong did not open his mouth to say anything, or respectfully looked at Li Shiyu.
“See Your Majesty, maidservant.” Linglong answered.
Li Shiyu nodded, Linglong has turned toward the East Palace, Li Shiyu with Mu Lan followed in.
“Ao Feng should be in the study at this time.” Li Shiyu explained that the pace under his feet had never stopped.
Mu Lan some surprise, to know that Aofeng is very smart, but Aofeng for Taifu teaching courses are lack of interest, a lot of things, Aofeng has long known, and never so well-behaved in the study, can escape, even in the face of Li Shiyu, Aofeng also appears to flicker more.
But now Ao Feng seems to have completely changed his temper, which is somewhat surprising.
“After Lan Er left, Ao Feng’s character suddenly changed. From then on, Ao Feng stopped playing tricks and playing truant. Instead, he seriously followed Taifu and me to learn the way of governing the country. This is gratifying to me.” Li Shiyu knew what Mu Lan was thinking and explained it.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and said, “Your Majesty, the prince is only eleven or twelve years old this year. Why is the emperor so anxious to let the prince learn these ways of governing the country?”
It’s too early.
Even Li Shiyuan, at this age, just followed Taifu, but did not enter the study of the way of governing the country, and now the proud wind seems to be ahead of everything.
It’s like what Li Shiyu is going to do.
Just Mu Lan does not want to understand, this just can not help but ask Li Shiyu curiously.
Li Shiyu listened to Mu Lan’s words and suddenly chuckled. Then he said, “If there’s no big surprise, I’m going to hand over the throne to the crown prince when he comes of age.”
“Why?” Mu Lan asked.
I want to accompany the person I love most. If she is not here, I can guard her grave. If she is here, I can accompany her to travel all over the great rivers and mountains of Dazhou. I didn’t do a single thing I promised her, and I can only use the rest of my life to make up for it. Li Shiyu’s words were somewhat self-deprecating, but he still quietly expressed his meaning completely.
Mu Lan listened but was somewhat shocked.
Before and Mu Zhanxiao’s guess actually obtained the affirmative answer in Li Shiyu here.
Mu Lan couldn’t say how he felt, so he just stood there. He didn’t know how to react for a while, but Li Shiyu was calm. He just looked at Mu Lan and changed the subject: “All right, the study is here. Follow me in.”
“Good.” Mu Lan came to his senses.
“But I don’t have to mention to the prince what I said to you today. I’m afraid the prince will have a rebellious mentality.” Li Shiyu suddenly confessed.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu did not shy away from saying, “Over the years, although the prince and I have been close to each other, the prince has always been concerned about me, and has always kept a distant distance from me.”. The prince is blaming me for the way I treated the empress. Until now, it has been very difficult for me to repair the relationship between myself and the prince.
This is what Mu Lan did not know, in that case, Aofeng was a child of five or six years old, naturally can not stand such stimulation, watching his mother die in front of him, that is too cruel for a child.
And Mu Lan is very clear, Ao Feng’s temper.
So now such a situation, in fact, is not too surprising to Mu Lan.
Finally, Mu Lan sighed silently: “The maidservant knows.”
Li Shiyu nodded, but also did not say anything, soon followed Li Shiyu into the study, and Aofeng has been in the study, for the appearance of Li Shiyu, Aofeng is used to, that attitude as Li Shiyu said, lukewarm.
Even, Aofeng’s eyes did not stay on Li Shiyu’s body, when the father and son talked, they only revolved around the way of governing the country and everything that Taifu taught today, other things, the two no longer mentioned, even now this one in Fengqing Palace, Aofeng seems to have lost interest.
That kind of feeling seems to have long known the authenticity of this one in Fengqing Palace.
See is also cold and light, although called people, but not as close as that year and Mu Lan, but it seems a lot of alienation.
But the people in the palace did not feel any strange place, they thought that Ao Feng had grown up and had his own temper and character.
But isn’t there always a proud wind?
Mu Lan looked at the father and son so quietly, and did not leave. The
study is particularly quiet, the slaves of the East Palace will not easily appear in the study at this time, but the appearance of Mu Lan, in this quiet study, seems out of place.
Finally, Ao Feng looked up and said, “Why is my father with a doctor from the Imperial Hospital?”
That voice is lazy, eyebrows and eyes more and more similar to Li Shiyu, as if and Li Shiyu a mold printed out, but Ao Feng slightly immature, and Li Shiyu is much more mature.
Li Shiyu smiled faintly at Aofeng’s query: “Your uncle found someone in the palace to see your aunt, and the doctor recommended her. I happened to see her, so I asked her to follow me directly, and then I asked your uncle to take her out of the palace.”
This is also said frankly, but anyone with a discerning eye can hear that it is just Li Shiyu’s casual nonsense, Aofeng is naturally not stupid, but also understand, but Aofeng did not open his mouth, so quietly watching.
His eyes fell on Mu Lan’s body, very light, but with a bit of thought.
Mu Lan did not avoid Ao Feng’s eyes, so let Ao Feng look at it. After
a while, Ao Feng withdrew his eyes and did not say much, and soon the father and son bowed their heads and chatted again.
This comes and goes, Mu Lan unconsciously also stayed in the East Palace for almost an hour and a half. “Your Majesty, Your Highness, it’s time for dinner,” said the
exquisite voice from outside the palace.
After Linglong’s voice came, Aofeng did not continue, and their conversation stopped abruptly, as if father and son had dinner together, which had been the habit of the past few years, but during this period, they did not open their mouths.
“You come with me.” Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan, but said calmly.
Mu Lan answered, “Yes.”
Then a line of people walked toward the dining room, because of Li Shiyu’s words, Mu Zhanxiao this just looked at Mu Lan, that eyes more than a trace of deep.
It wasn’t until the three of them arrived at the dining room, and Mu Lan was standing by, that Mu Zhanxiao suddenly said, “You’re awesome. The dancer from Wangxianglou can make my uncle look at her differently, and she sent her to the palace specially.”
This let Mu Lan be stupefied, and then suddenly enlightened.
But Li Shiyu’s face darkened slightly. “Prince, I told you not to speak when you eat.”
Ao Feng snorted coldly, but did not speak, but that kind of attitude is always neither Yin nor Yang. And Mu Lan also stood calmly, and did not refute the words of Ao Feng.
She knew that Aofeng had misunderstood.
Misunderstood his relationship with Mu Zhanxiao, that day to see Mu Zhiyi, Mu Zhiyi probably has been described, the relationship between the two for so many years, a little description, plus her cold appearance in the palace, people who know the inside story are naturally easy to guess the identity.
“You go out first.” Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth.
This is said to Mu Lan, Mu Lan in such circumstances, standing here will only increase embarrassment, not to mention the people to see, she has seen, it is not bad for a while and a half, not to mention, Aofeng eat, if not close to people, he generally does not let people close, otherwise, Aofeng will have no meaning to eat. Blessed was
Mu Lan: “The maidservant will retire first.”
Then, Mu Lan turned around and walked out of the palace.
Soon the dining room was quiet again. Ao Feng bowed his head and ate the food in front of him. He never opened his mouth to talk with Li Shiyu. Li Shiyu seemed to be used to it.
It wasn’t until the two of them had finished their meal and Aofeng put down his chopsticks that Li Shiyu looked at Aofeng and said, “She and your uncle are not the kind of relationship you and Zhiyi think.”
Ao Feng was somewhat surprised that Li Shiyu took the initiative to mention these to himself.
“If it’s really the relationship you think, your uncle doesn’t have to go to all the trouble to send her to the palace. Even if your uncle wants to keep her with him, Zhiyi and your aunt can’t say anything.” Li Shiyu’s tone is steady.
Ao Feng raised his eyebrows and said, “So this has something to do with my father?”
He is not polite, so the eyes fell on Li Shiyu’s body, a moment, as if waiting for Li Shiyu’s answer. And Li Shiyu appears quiet, did not deny, but also did not admit the words of Aofeng.
“a year ago, the Fengqing Palace had a master, but the queen mother came back. I thought my father wouldn’t be interested in women anymore. After all, when the queen mother was away, there were concubines in the harem, but my father was like a widow.”. Now that it’s all right, my father is like a dead tree in spring. There is something strange about
this.
But the way Aofeng looked at Li Shiyu never left his eyes. Li Shiyu did not get angry because of Aofeng’s words. He looked at Aofeng calmly: “Since you know that the one in Fengqing Palace is your mother, you have been indifferent to your mother for a year.”
The topic suddenly came to the one in the Fengqing Palace.
Ao Feng this did not speak, just looking at Li Shiyu, as if thinking about the meaning of Li Shiyu’s words, that kind of hesitant eyes, too obvious.
But Li Shiyu was also calm: “The prince wants to say something, but it doesn’t matter.”. I know there is a gap between the prince and me, but I don’t blame the prince for what he says.
This made Ao Feng feel surprised, but such surprise did not show on his face.
Over the past few years, their relationship seems to have reached a freezing point, but in the eyes of outsiders, Ao Feng is extremely favored, no one can replace the status of Ao Feng.
But Aofeng knew that their father and son had not talked about each other for a long time, and when they met, they talked about state affairs and homework.
Other than that, there is nothing else.
Even Aofeng and Mu Zhanxiao talk time, are far better than Li Shiyu, after all, what happened in those years, until now, are the nightmare of Aofeng.
It is impossible not to blame Li Shiyu, but Aofeng did not quarrel with Li Shiyu, with the most cold way to deal with the relationship between him and Li Shiyu.
But now Li Shiyu’s words, but let Ao Feng keenly aware that there is something in this person’s words.
Sinking, Ao Feng looked at Li Shiyu and said, “What did I say? Won’t my father blame me?”
“Say.” Li Shiyu’s attitude was also calm, and he took a sip of green tea.
Ao Feng nodded. “What’s so unusual about your mother? Has your father ever noticed it?”
Li Shi-yu paused slightly as he drank his tea, but his eyebrows and eyes fell on Ao Feng. “You can just say it,” he said calmly.
“She is not like the mother of a minister.” Ao Feng is outspoken.
“What makes you think so?” Li Shiyu asked directly. When the
queen mother returned to the palace, she spent a lot of time with the minister. Very often, only the minister and the queen mother were together, especially when the queen mother was still in Imperial Kitchen. But this one in the Fengqing Palace, when she first mentioned it, she knew about it, but she didn’t know so much about the details, and she wasn’t as familiar with it as she was when she faced her father. Ao Feng spoke directly.
His eyes looked at Li Shiyu for an instant: “To be exact, this one in the Fengqing Palace was familiar with everything between her father and her mother, but she was more familiar with life outside the Great Wall, and later she was not able to know so thoroughly about this period of life inside the palace.”
It was a delicate time.
For a long time, there were only two people, Aofeng and Mulan, and there was no third party around them, unless the ghost really existed, otherwise, the dialogue and details between them could only be known by instinct.
As for these things, the one in Fengqing Palace was vague and took the past, but it was not as calm and calm as when facing Li Shiyu.
So from then on, Aofeng was much more indifferent to this one in Fengqing Palace, and almost never went to Fengqing Palace again.
That is a kind of instinctive intuition, feel that this matter is not so simple on the surface, but Li Shiyu did not speak, Ao Feng will not ask for trouble, that will only make the present situation worse.
And this one of Fengqing Palace did not come to Aofeng, but was rejected by Aofeng for various reasons, but this one was the first time to find Aofeng, was rejected by Aofeng after a few words, she also seemed to have no interest, the target is just Li Shiyu.
“Anything else?” Li Shiyu took another sip of tea.
“Her food is not cooked by her mother.” Ao Feng went on to say, “Although there seems to be no difference in taste, if you really get along with your mother day and night, you can find something unusual. Everything about her is too gorgeous.”. I didn’t think she had done it herself. I suspected it and followed her in private. It was only then that I discovered that she had asked the imperial chef to do it within Imperial Kitchen.
Ao Feng spoke bluntly, and then his eyes fell on Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu listened to these words is much calmer, as if Ao Feng said everything, Li Shiyu has long known in general.
“Father, you already knew that, didn’t you?” Ao Feng asked calmly, “Otherwise, when she asked the father for someone, the father didn’t have to make an excuse to let his son not go to the Fengqing Palace.”. What’s more, if it’s really the mother’s wife, if the son is so cold, the father will certainly not let the son go.
This, Ao Feng said firmly, that fell on Li Shiyu’s eyes is not a moment.
But this time, Li put down his teacup and chuckled: “You’ve seen it through.”
One word made Aofeng understand his guess, and Aofeng’s brows twisted slightly: “Father, if it was my son who guessed, then the father kept quiet in order to find the person behind the scenes?”
“Yes.” Li Shiyu did not deny it.
Ao Feng asked again, “Why didn’t the father tell his son earlier?”
“If you want to concentrate on your homework, you don’t have to think too much about things like this.” “I owe your mother too much. I made a big mistake a few years ago when I forced her to admit her identity. If I ever see your mother again, I won’t do it again.”
“Does the father mean that the queen mother is still alive?” Ao Feng was shocked and looked at Li Shiyu’s eyes for a moment.
It was a kind of expectation and excitement that had not been seen for many years, because it was exciting to hear such news.
Ao Feng is very clear, Li Shiyu will not take anything of Mu Lan to joke, Li Shiyu said so, it means that his guess is correct.
But in the face of Ao Feng’s excitement, Li Shiyu smiled calmly, neither denying nor admitting: What the prince has to do now is to conscientiously complete the homework assigned by Taifu and me. Other things are not what the prince cares about. Also, the prince should not mention anything about today to avoid any trouble. I understand.
“Yes, I will obey the decree.” Ao Feng answered at once.
But that kind of excitement is obvious, this is the first time in many years, Li Shiyu in the eyes of the proud wind to see such excitement, inevitably, so that Li Shiyu’s eyebrows and eyes are also impregnated with a faint smile.
It’s like I’ve never been so relaxed.
Then Li Shiyu did not stay in the East Palace, and soon stood up. Ao Feng also stood up, but personally sent Li Shiyu out.
Mulan had been waiting outside, but when she saw Aofeng coming out, Mulan was surprised. She thought Aofeng was cold to Li Shiyu, and it was absolutely impossible for him to come out. But now there was still a trace of joy in Aofeng’s eyebrows and eyes. What happened?
Mu Lan did not speak and stood quietly.
“My son will see my father off to the emperor.” Ao Feng Ying Sheng.
Li Shi-yu just nodded his head and said nothing. He quickly walked toward Mu Lan and said, “Gone.”
Mu Lan bowed his head and followed Li Shiyu quietly, but they didn’t talk much until they left the East Palace. Mu Lan couldn’t help looking at Li Shiyu.
Li Shi-yu naturally knew what Mu Lan was going to ask, and only then did he lightly open his mouth to explain: Ao Feng is very clear about what is true and what is false. From my words, I can also get some news. Naturally, I am ecstatic. This attitude has become better.
Mulan nodded, saying, “The prince has always been very intelligent.”
his mother taught him well. I am much inferior to his mother and concubine. When his mother and concubine were there, she laid a very good foundation for Aofeng. Even if Taifu meets Aofeng now, he feels very happy. Li Shiyu did not take credit, but put the credit on Mu Lan.
Mu Lan did not speak, but the good mood is self-evident, that is because he saw Ao Feng.
“Walk with me.” Li Shiyu did not say anything about Aofeng and quickly changed the subject.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and said, “The empress is not feeling well. Won’t the emperor go and have a look?”? If I remember correctly, when the maidservant met the emperor, the emperor was going in the direction of the Fengqing Palace. When he said
this, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan with a half-smile and suddenly said, “Didn’t I already see it?”
Mu Lan listens to Li Shiyu’s words, for a while and a half will not understand Li Shiyu’s meaning.
And Li Shiyu also did not have the meaning of much explanation, suddenly so stretch out one’s hand, hooked the bridge of the nose of Gou Mu Lan, Mu Lan is stupefied, such movement is too ambiguous.
“All right, I’ll take you somewhere.” Li Shiyu ended the topic.
Mu Lan subconsciously touched the bridge of his nose, and did not continue to say anything, but quietly followed Li Shiyu behind, she did not want to understand, this imperial palace where, is not their own, can let Li Shiyu so mysterious.
But Mu Lan is to understand Li Shiyu, he does not want to say things, how you ask, it is impossible to reveal from the mouth of this person.
Quiet, Mu Lan also did not think much, honestly followed Li Shiyu toward the direction of the Imperial Garden.
The closer to the Imperial Garden, the more let Mulan feel inexplicable.
Imperial Garden over the years, in addition to more flowers and plants, but not much change, so Mulan do not know what Li Shiyu to take himself to see.
As a result, Li Shiyu walked in the Imperial Garden, turned around a few long corridors, and the scenery that appeared in front of Mulan was so amazing that Mulan could not say a word.
Here is Imperial Garden remote place, usually very few people come, Mulan in the palace, also rarely appear here, and now, here and before is not a scene, Mulan if not wrong, in front of the cherry blossom forest.
This was mentioned by Mu Lan and Li Shiyu at that time.
Mu Lan has always liked cherry blossoms. Every year during the cherry blossom season, she will fly to Japan to see cherry blossoms. The cherry blossom forest can always make Mu Lan feel comfortable.
But in the big week, the big week’s weather is very difficult to let the cherry blossom survive, so at that time Mu Lan also just mentioned, Li Shiyu is carefully asked what happened to the cherry blossom, Mu Lan can not explain Japan and cherry trees, just described a general.
At that time, Mu Lan did not take it to heart, nor did he think much about it. Later, countless times happened. It was two or three years later when he saw Li Shiyu again. He stayed in the palace for a long time, but he did not think of it again. As a result, I did not expect that after so many years, Mulan actually saw a forest of cherry blossoms in the Imperial Garden.
It can be seen that this cherry blossom forest is well maintained. In this season, the cherry blossoms are blooming in patches, which is beautiful. However, outside this cherry blossom forest, there are guards guarding it. Obviously, no one is allowed to enter on weekdays.
“Your Majesty, this –” It took Mu Lan a long time to find his own voice.
“Like it?” Li Shiyu lost his hands behind him, but laughed.
Mulan did not deny that he liked it: “Yes.”
I really like it.
She involuntarily approached the cherry blossom forest, so quietly looking at the cherry blossoms, with the wind, the petals of cherry blossoms fell down, but a beautiful picture, some skateboards fell on the shoulders of Mu Lan, and the gray clothes of the hospital symmetrical up, it is more charming.
Mu Lan was somewhat fascinated.
Li Shiyu so looked at Mu Lan, did not speak, eyebrows and eyes with a faint smile, but always lingering. It seems that no matter how much hardship we have paid during this period, we have been satisfied at this moment.
Once Li Shiyu thought that this cherry blossom forest, Mu Lan can no longer see, fortunately, did not really cause such regret. There was a faint smile in
Li Shiyu’s eyebrows and eyes.
It was not until Mu Lan turned around and looked at Li Shiyu that he said, “Your Majesty, how come there are so many cherry trees Imperial Garden?”
Li Shiyu, however, did not dodge Mu Lan’s question. He stood with his hands on his back and looked at the forest of cherry blossoms. Then he said lightly, “I made it for my beloved. I thought I would never let her see it again. Now I know I still have a chance.”
Mu Lan knew that Li Shiyu was talking about herself, so she stood, the petals of cherry blossoms fell on Mu Lan’s shoulders, one after another, looking very fragile, but particularly lovable.
Li Shiyu walked toward Mu Lan until he stood still in front of Mu Lan. His big hand gently stroked the cherry petals that fell on Mu Lan’s cheek, but the big hand seemed to be possessed and did not move away from Mu Lan’s face.
Mu Lan was quiet, and finally did not stop Li Shiyu’s action.
It wasn’t until Li Shiyu spoke again: “The year I ascended the throne, I started asking people to look for cherry blossoms everywhere. She once told me that these cherry blossoms were in the land of Japan. I didn’t know where they were, but I probably knew a direction. I asked people to look in this direction, but I couldn’t find the country she said.”
Mu Lan listened and did not speak.
Dazhou herself is in a disordered time and space, and the world she knows is not parallel, so how can she find Japan. Even the cherry blossoms, Mu Lan felt that they did not exist in this time and space.
But Mu Lan did not interrupt Li Shiyu’s words, just listening.
When I was about to give up, the person Rong Jiu took saw the cherry tree she described at that time by the roadside. It was just a small seedling. I ordered Rong Jiu to bring it back. I’ve found the best master in Dazhou, but I can’t keep this little seedling alive. It seems that if I go back to Dazhou, this little seedling will never live again. When
Li Shiyu talked about these hardships, he seemed to say in passing: “It’s just that I didn’t give up. Soon, I asked people to send more seedlings back. I tried again and again, and failed again and again. I don’t know how many years have passed during this period.”. But in this kind of running-in, the masters also knew the temper of the cherry blossoms, and moved them to prefectures and counties where the weather was suitable, so that the seedlings gradually grew up, and then transplanted them back to the imperial palace.
「……」
“Obviously, you know the result. The weather in Kyoto is not suitable for cherry trees. Even if the seedlings of mature trees arrive in Kyoto, they gradually decline. It took several years before the improved cherry trees could gradually survive in the East Palace of Kyoto. Then it took another two or three years before they gradually had this scale.”
「……」
“this piece of land in Imperial Garden is forbidden to me, and no one is allowed to enter it without my permission. I saw these cherry trees for her alone, and no one else has the right to see them.”
……
Li Shiyu’s voice was calm, and he told Mu Lan these words completely.
Mu Lan listens quietly, that kind of shock can be imagined. So much happened during
this period, after countless years, when she saw Li Shiyu again, these cherry trees still did not survive, so Li Shiyu never brought herself, and now, these cherry trees survived, she was lucky to see such a picture.
Mu Lan’s eyes unconsciously filled with fog, as if she and Li Shiyu had been entangled for generations until now, but in the eyes of outsiders, they knew each other how much they had experienced in the past ten years. It’s
not just that things have changed.
“Fool.” Li Shiyu’s finger pulp with a thin cocoon gently brushed away the tears that Mu Lan was about to drop. “Don’t cry, I will feel distressed if I cry.”. Nothing I have done is as good as what my beloved has done in the past. I owe her more than I can ever pay, let alone anything else.
Mu Lan didn’t cry.
Just the palm of the hand gradually clenched into a fist.
The cherry blossoms didn’t really survive until last year, and this year is the first time they have blossomed. When the cherry blossoms were about to open, I made a wish that I could welcome her back when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Li Shiyu bowed his head and continued.
Mulan’s fine white teeth bit his lips and looked at him quietly.
Li Shiyu’s handsome face is constantly enlarged in front of Mu Lan, whose heartbeat is very fast, and the familiar sandalwood fragrance comes from the tip of his nose.
For a long time.
When Mu Lan failed to come to his senses, Li Shiyu’s thin lips seemed to inadvertently sweep over Mu Lan’s lips, such an action with a trace of ambiguity, but also inadvertently, and did not go deep, soon loosened Mu Lan, but the distance between the two has never moved.
Mu Lan’s cheeks were slightly flushed, so he coughed lightly.
But Li Shiyu lowered his head and chuckled: “I should be glad that God has heard my voice.” When Li Shiyu said this,
Mu Lan’s ears turned red, and she fell into the downwind step by step. Finally, she looked up and said stiffly, “So the empress is back.”
Li Shi-yu raised his eyebrows as he listened, but this time his answer was direct: “Of course it’s not the one from Fengqing Palace.”
Mu Lan just wanted to ask who it was, but when the words came to her lips, she kept silent again, always feeling that she had dug a hole for herself, and then jumped in, with no room to struggle.
Suddenly, everything around him became quiet.
“If you like, stay here for a while.” Li Shiyu spoke lightly. “I’ve already told you. You can come at any time.” If
it’s light, it’s like it’s already been arranged.
And in the heart of Li Shiyu taboo, in Mu Lan here seems not to exist, even fell on Mu Lan’s eyes, affection, but also with a trace of tenderness, such tenderness for a long time.
Mu Lan’s hand, hidden in his wide sleeve, tightened, and for a while and a half he did not know what to say.
In the end, it was Li Shiyu who took the initiative to say, “I’ll walk with you.”
The voice fell, Li Shiyu’s hand very naturally hugged Mu Lan’s waist, Mu Lan’s low eyebrows and eyes looked at this person fell on his waist, such a state is too intimate.
He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, but he was wearing the clothes of the Imperial Hospital, and anyone who saw it would feel very net.
Mu Lan did not think of struggling, but no matter what kind of struggle seems to be in vain under such circumstances, Li Shiyu did not let go of the meaning of the hand.
He looked down at Mulan. “Let me hold you for a while.”
This person’s voice is very deep, as if with a trace of begging, when the voice fell, Mulan has completely fallen into the arms of Li Shiyu, the mandible of fortitude so against Mulan’s hair, when the wind blows, the long hair of the two people dance with the wind, and the cherry petals on the ground just fell on Mulan’s gray skirt, one ash and one powder. But you will never feel anything inappropriate.
In the end, it was Mu Lan who sighed silently: “Your Majesty, there will be people here.”
“No.” Li Shiyu was sure: “I told you that no one can come here, and you don’t have to worry about being peeped at. Even from any position in Imperial Garden, you can’t see this cherry blossom forest unless you walk in.” The implication is
that whatever Li Shiyu does is safe.
In such words, gradually Mu Lan followed to relax down, she did not think much, so in the company of Li Shiyu, seriously looking at the scene here, it is the feeling of moving.
They stayed in the cherry blossom forest for a long time until the sky sank slightly.
Li Shiyu took one look at the sky and then said, “It’s getting late. I’ll send you back to the hospital. If you like it, I’ll come with you tomorrow.”
Mu Lan’s red lips moved, and Li Shiyu’s eyebrows and eyes fell on Mu Lan’s red lips, raising his eyebrows and looking at the person in front of him, as if waiting for Mu Lan’s answer.
Mulan felt uncomfortable being stared at, and it took her a long time to hum: “Good.”
Li Shiyu heard Mu Lan’s promise, but followed by a light laugh, deep eyebrows still looking at Mu Lan, and did not move away, Mu Lan was looking at some hot cheeks.
“The maidservant went back first.” Mu Lan answered quickly.
When she turned to go, suddenly Li Shiyu reached out and clasped Mu Lan’s wrist, slightly hard, Mu Lan was brought to the front of Li Shiyu, two people very close.
Mu Lan exclaimed, and Li Shiyu’s handsome face fell on Mu Lan’s body, the high bridge of the nose gently rubbed the tip of Mu Lan’s nose, the two lips almost close to each other.
Mu Lan was stunned.
But Li Shiyu turned his head slightly sideways, and his thin lips stuck to Mu Lan’s red lips. A gentle voice came from Mu Lan’s ear: “Is that all right?”? This is something I have been thinking about for a long time.
Mu Lan did not even have time to react, and Li Shiyu did not give Mu Lan any chance to react, the strong arm has been firmly clasped Mu Lan’s waist, thin lips heavily kissed down.
A lot of things become taken for granted.
Mu Lan’s silent sigh was forced to look up and bear the kiss from the man.
That slender fingers so grasp Li Shiyu’s clothes corner, for a long time did not loosen, until Li Shiyu’s clothes corner appeared wrinkles, Mu Lan’s breathing began to become a little cramped, white skin slightly red, Li Shiyu just loosened Mu Lan. Compared
with her unstable breath, Li Shiyu seemed much calmer. When he looked at Mu Lan
again, Li Shiyu’s eyebrows and eyes were filled with little smiles: “Go back.”
Mu Lan coughed lightly and quickly turned around and walked out of the cherry blossom forest. Li Shiyu followed up, but did not approach Mu Lan as before, but kept a proper distance, so all the way to Mu Lan to the hospital gate, Li Shiyu just stood down.
Mu Lan did not look back at the man and hurried toward the hospital with his head down.
……
The sky is getting dark.
The hospital has long been quiet down, Mu Lan a person in front of the candlelight seriously looking at the people of the hospital to write good medical skills, holding a pen, to outline where they feel there is a problem. The
same posture maintained for a long time, Mu Lan always some pain, she could not help shaking the body, pinched the shoulder, and then looked down at the book.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door of the wing, and the voice of Hsia Ho said, “Empress, Grandfather Cheng has sent someone to deliver something.”
Mu Lan Leng for a moment, and so on for a while to react to come over this Cheng father-in-law said is Cheng Dezhu, that is Li Shiyu side of the people, can appear here, must be the meaning of Li Shiyu.
Mu Lan did not neglect either, but quickly stood up and answered, “Coming.”
Summer lotus voice can not be heard, Mu Lan grabbed a cloak, went out, and Cheng Dezhu has been waiting outside the wing, holding a black sandalwood box, see Mu Lan when the smiling face, take the initiative to hand the sandalwood box in the hands of Mu Lan.
“Grandfather Cheng, what is this?” Mu Lan took it passively and asked in a low voice. Grandfather
Cheng is still smiling: “This is the cherry petals that the emperor specially asked the slaves to take care of so that Miss Cen could take a bath, so he specially sent our family to bring them to Miss Cen.”
Mu Lan was a little surprised, but completely unexpected. Grandfather
Cheng didn’t mean to stay much longer: “Now that we’ve already delivered our things, we won’t stay much longer here. After all, it’s not good to have too many people and too many ears. Miss Cen just makes good use of it.” Grand
father Cheng’s voice was sharp no matter how low it was.
Mu Lan nodded to indicate that he understood what Grandfather Cheng meant: “You have to work for Grandfather Cheng.”
You’re welcome. Then we’ll leave first. Grandfather Cheng is smiling.
Then Cheng father-in-law quickly turned around and walked outside the hospital, and did not mean to stay much, and Mu Lan just stood in place, watching Cheng father-in-law leave, and then looked down at the sandalwood box in his hand, then quietly turned around and returned to the house.
He Xiang, who was a wise man, immediately said, “Miss, the maidservant is going to prepare something for you to take a bath. You can’t miss the emperor’s wish.”
“Good.” Mu Lan smiled. The
lotus fragrance quickly turned around and went out, and soon it was ready to soak in the bathhouse and warm water, and the smoke filled the whole space in an instant, and gradually dispelled the chill of the present.
Mu Lan opened the black sandalwood box, with cherry petals in it. As Li Shiyu said, this is the processed cherry petals, with a faint fragrance on them. Mu Lan knew at a glance that this was the work of his shop in those years, and it was also taught by himself at that time, but now it is used on cherry blossoms, but the effect is also very good.
Obviously, it can not be prepared temporarily, I am afraid it has been prepared for a long time, just follow what happened today, and it will be sent as a matter of course.
Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes with a faint smile, it is a kind of indescribable joy.
When she poured the cherry petals into the bath bucket, suddenly, Mulan was quiet, and the hand stopped. At first, Mulan thought that the sandalwood box was heavy, but now Mulan found that it was not the sandalwood box that was heavy, but there was a hairpin at the bottom of the box, which was a cherry blossom-like hairpin, special and delicate. It can make people remember everything at a glance.
This person-
Mu Lan laughed out loud helplessly, so he took out the cherry blossom hairpin. Because of the bath, Mu Lan’s hair was pulled up, and there was no hair. She looked at the bronze mirror falling to the ground, so she put the hairpin on. In this quiet night, the cherry blossom hairpin was more called Mu Lan’s white and charming.
It seems romantic but it makes people very impulsive.
Mu Lan looked quietly, the smile at the corners of her mouth never dispersed, so she wore a cherry blossom hairpin, quietly soaking in the bath, until her skin turned pink, braving thin pimples, Mu Lan then got up.
Summer lotus has come in, waiting for Mu Lan to change clothes.
Mulan lowered his head and chuckled, “You should also rest early.”
“The maidservant will rest after tidying up here.” Xia He answered, looking at Mu Lan with some fascination: “Miss, you are really very good-looking.”
At that moment, when Mu Lan walked out of the mist, it was like a fairy coming down to earth, instantly, let all living beings fall, Xia He is no exception, this is involuntarily said with emotion.
But Mu Lan lowered his head and chuckled, pinching the tip of Xia He’s nose. “You’re the only one who can say.” “The maidservant is just telling the truth,” said
Xia He directly.
Mu Lan did not answer, returned to the bed, after a bath, the whole person soft down, but she soon fell asleep.
……
The next few days.
Mu Lan has never left the hospital, she is busy writing medical skills every day, but the feeling of fatigue has become more and more obvious, Mu Lan is very clear that he is infected with the cold.
Over the past few days, originally began to enter the spring of Kyoto, but suddenly the temperature dropped, and even began to snow, the weather is somewhat abnormal, but also let Mu Lan hit such a sudden drop in temperature, accidentally infected with the cold, every time the light cough, let Mu Lan’s chest burst of pain.
Because of this situation, it is impossible for Mu Lan to leave the hospital.
But Mu Lan also did not disturb anyone, including Mu Zhanxiao Mu Lan did not disturb, she did not want to bring trouble to anyone. The person who knew that Mu Lan was infected with the cold was Xia He.
Mu Lan himself gave himself a prescription, let Xia He catch these medicines back, and then decoct them, three meals a day never stopped.
But after taking the medicine for three days, Mu Lan’s condition did not improve much, which made Mu Lan slightly twist his eyebrows and realize that the situation was not right. He was afraid that this time, not only the cold, but also the direct infection to the lungs would lead to the present situation.
And these three days, after taking the medicine, Mu Lan’s fever will subside, if the efficacy is over, this fever will rise again, the whole day is also dazed, but also lost appetite.
Even the summer lotus specially prepares the clear congee side dish for Mu Lan, lets Mu Lan not eat at all, just a few days, Mu Lan has lost weight many. The people in the
hospital were originally responsible for each other, and Mu Lan seldom left his own wing, so unexpectedly no one found something wrong with Mu Lan.
It was not until Ji Jang had not seen Mu Lan for a long time that he took the initiative to go to the wing and saw that Mu Lan had a high fever.
Mu Lan looked at Ji Jang Geum calmly: “I caught a cold and hurt my lungs. I’m afraid it’s not so easy to get better.”
In modern society, most of them rely on antibiotics. Dazhou doesn’t have these things. If you rely on Chinese herbal medicine, the effect will naturally be slow. It’s not unusual to drag on for ten days and a half months.
When Ji Jang Geum heard Mu Lan’s words, his face suddenly changed and his lungs were infected, which was already a very serious thing in the cold, and he would die if he was not careful.
“How could you be so careless?” Ji Jang Geum couldn’t help speaking.
“Maybe I haven’t been here for a long time, so I’m not used to it.”
Ji Jang Geum said nothing and quickly felt the pulse of Mu Lan. After reading Mu Lan’s prescription
again, Ji Changjin finally just calmly said, “Your pharmacy has reached its peak, so you can only rest and pay attention to the situation at any time.”
“Good.” Mu Lan answered and coughed a few more times, and there was even a trace of blood. “Doctor Ji, don’t stay here for a long time. After all, it’s easy to infect.”
Ji Jang Geum knew this, but she just looked at Mu Lan and finally sighed: “You take care of yourself.”
“Good.” Mu Lan answered.
After that, Ji Jang Geum got up and left, and carefully explained that Xia He was rushed out of the house by Mu Lan, except for the delivery of medicine, and did not let Xia He approach, even the delivery of medicine was only on the table, not to the head of the bed.
In Kyoto, this kind of typhoid fever, which hurts the lungs, is too easy to infect people. Although it is not as rampant as the plague, it is difficult to determine the life and death of those infected.
That’s why Mulan doesn’t want to open his mouth or see anyone. After
Xia He sent Ji Jang Geum out, Mu Lan slowly closed his eyes and soon fell into a coma.
……
This sleep, Mu Lan seems to have slept for a long time.
In her sleep, she saw herself wet, sweating when the fever was gone, but her clothes were still dry, and there was always a pair of gentle hands, so she changed her clothes.
Mu Lan thought it was Xia He, and several times he wanted to remind Xia He not to get close to him, but the owner of the hands seemed indifferent and still repeated the same action.
Mu Lan dazed, speaking strength is not left a few minutes, let alone can stop others, vaguely in the dream, as if to hear a very gentle and deep voice, familiar and tender, but how can not remember, who is this person in the end. I had
this dream for a long time.
Until Mu Lan slowly opened his eyes, the line of sight around him gradually became clear, and a bright yellow figure appeared in front of Mu Lan, which made Mu Lan slightly stunned.
This is Li Shiyu.
Mu Lan never thought that it would be Li Shiyu who appeared in front of him. For a long time, Mu Lan failed to recover from such a mood and could only look at Li Shiyu so passively.
“Your Majesty!” Mu Lan struggled to get up.
But Li Shiyu had already suppressed Mu Lan: “You rest, don’t move.” There was a hint of reproach in the tone. “Why are you so sick? Why don’t you let someone tell me?”
Mu Lan lay down again and said weakly, “Your Majesty, don’t go near the maidservant. It’s contagious.”
“I am not afraid.” Li Shiyu said directly.
Previously, Li Shiyu took Mu Lan to the cherry blossom forest, because Li Shiyu thought that Mu Lan liked cherry blossoms, so he would go when he found time. And the flowering period of cherry blossoms is very short, what is going on in other places, Li Shiyu does not know, but after the improvement of these old masters, cherry blossoms can only open in this season in Kyoto.
And only a short period of more than ten days.
Li Shiyu said to Mu Lan that day, Mu Lan knew it, so Li Shiyu would wait for Mu Lan in the cherry blossom forest every day, but unexpectedly, Li Shiyu had never seen Mu Lan for a day.
At first, Li Shiyu thought that Mu Lan was shy and worried about being seen, but after waiting for a few days, Li Shiyu realized something was wrong.
After all, in the memory of Mu Lan is not this person, if you like, that is to overcome all difficulties will appear, not to mention the cherry blossom forest no one allowed to enter.
So Li Shiyu called Ji Jang Geum and asked about the situation.
Ji Jang Geum initially thought that Mu Lan was just writing medical skills in the wing, which was what Mu Lan would do every day, and Mu Lan seldom communicated with people in the hospital. Unexpectedly
, Ji Jang Geum found that Mu Lan was infected with such a serious cold, and Xia He did not tell anyone because of Mu Lan’s command, Ji Jang Geum naturally did not dare to neglect, and immediately told Li Shiyu about it.
So Li Shiyu’s non-stop appearance in the hospital, but also regardless of Mu Lan’s cold is contagious.
And Mu Lan in the face of Li Shiyu’s words, some helpless sigh, so passive looking at Li Shiyu, want to stop, but it is very clear that they are unable to stop this person.
Finally, Mu Lan is helpless to call the name of this person.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan calmly. “Why didn’t you let someone inform me?”
Mu Lan shook his head and said, “I’m afraid of infecting the emperor. The emperor is the king of a country. He shouldn’t be troubled by the cold.”. If the emperor is really infected, the maidservant will have to bear the eternal charges.
“Nonsense.” Li Shi-yu’s voice sank. “Don’t talk nonsense under such circumstances in the future.”
Mu Lan sighed.
Hsia-ho, who had just opened the door, was startled to see Li Shi-yu. But Hsia-ho, who was a wise man, quickly put down the decoction. “Miss, the maidservant has put the decoction here for you. The maidservant has gone out first.”
During the whole process, Hsia Ho did not mention Li Shiyu, but still respectfully said, “The maidservant has seen the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor.”
“Get up.” Li Shi-yu waved, “You go down first.”
“Yes.” Xia He answered.
Soon, Xia He retreated, the room returned to quiet, Li Shiyu stood up, picked up the decoction and walked back to Mu Lan’s bedside.
“I will feed you.” Li Shiyu gently scooped the spoon, cooled the soup, and then sent it to Mu Lan’s mouth.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.
For such a decoction, Mu Lan has some rejection, because it is too bitter, and these days, such bitterness has pushed Mu Lan to the limit.
But this medicine can not use rock sugar to dissolve bitterness, otherwise it will affect the medicinal properties, can not say why, perhaps Li Shiyu, perhaps really drank too many days, so that now, Mu Lan for such a decoction is rejected, from the heart of rejection.
Under such circumstances, Mu Lan saw the decoction brought to his mouth, and the resistance was obvious.
But Mu Lan knows very well that if she doesn’t drink these decoctions, she won’t have to think about getting better. If she goes on like this, if the disease gets worse and worse, she will really be weak. You can
‘t go back to Dazhou and be driven to death by pneumonia.
Mu Lan’s little face was wrinkled and aggrieved.
But Li Shi-yu looked helplessly at Mu Lan, but with patience coaxed him: “Be good, you can drink it in one breath. This soup doesn’t boil much, so you don’t have to drink it all the time.”
Mu Lan still twisted his eyebrows.
“Just once.” Li Shiyu continued to coax, “When you’re done, I’ll send you a sweet osmanthus cake.”. If you can’t eat rock candy, you can always eat sweet osmanthus cake. I’ve asked Ji Yi Nu. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is not made with crystal sugar, but is made of pure sweet-scented osmanthus.
This seems to give Mu Lan a glimmer of hope.
At least do not have to be so passive has been drinking such bitter medicine, the original porridge of the small face, but a few minutes bright, and then she looked at Li Shiyu, as if thinking about the truth of Li Shiyu’s words.
Li Shi-yu saw it at a glance, and did not know whether to laugh or cry: “You are not joking.”
Mu Lan was reluctant to drink, and Li Shiyu is a spoonful of feeding, there is no expression of impatience, but Mu Lan felt a spoonful of too bitter, simply picked up the bowl, gulped down.
Because she drank too fast, she also choked, so choked, almost before drinking the waist to spit out, although not so embarrassed, but also inevitably to dirty Li Shiyu’s clothes.
Mu Lan is a little embarrassed.
Li Shi-yu looks down at the trace of brown on his bright yellow dragon robe. “It doesn’t matter,” he says calmly. “Just go back and change it.”
Mu Lan hum, but also urged Li Shiyu: “Your Majesty, you’d better go back.”. Don’t stay with the maidservant.
“Right here.” Li Shiyu’s attitude has not changed.
Just then there was a knock on the door, and the back door was pushed open. Hsia-ho came in with a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. “Your Majesty, Miss, the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes are here.”
“Put it here.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
Summer lotus nodded and did not say much, soon retreated out, the house was quiet again, but the house more than a touch of sweet osmanthus cake fragrance, for a long time.
Mu Lan is a little greedy.
Li Shiyu personally picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and fed it to Mu Lan’s mouth. After the fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus entered his mouth, the bitterness in Mu Lan’s mouth disappeared at once.
Plus these days, Mu Lan’s tongue coating is also thick, but this sweet so that Mu Lan has a different feeling, unconsciously, but ate a few pieces.
Still want to eat again, but Li Shiyu stopped Mu Lan: “can’t eat any more, Ji Yi Nu also told, to the right amount.”. You have eaten a lot.
Mu Lan flat mouth, some are not happy, that is the little woman’s state of mind, as if their favorite things were so taken away, it is a kind of unwilling, but unable to resist.
“Be good.” Li Shiyu coaxed, “when you’re ready, I’ll ask the Imperial Kitchen to bring you whatever you want to eat.”
That tone is extremely patient and gentle, eyebrows and eyes fall on Mu Lan’s body, with a touch of warmth.
Mu Lan didn’t say anything, but Li Shiyu’s hand suddenly rose and gently wiped the corners of Mu Lan’s mouth, turning into a sweet-scented osmanthus cake: “Look at you, you can eat something to your mouth. How old are you?”
“Huh?” Mu Lan is stupefied, a little embarrassed.
But Li Shiyu is calm, so seriously wiping, that handsome infinite in front of Mu Lan enlarged, so that the final two people stick very close.
Close enough to hear each other’s heartbeat and breathing.
In an instant, the air in the room was stagnant.
It was not until Mulan came to his senses that he said, “Your Majesty, don’t go near the maidservant.”
Li Shiyu did not respond to Mu Lan’s words, but slightly loosened Mu Lan, but the hand still held Mu Lan’s hand, so he sat down on the edge of the bed.
“Don’t ever call yourself a slave again.” Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan, but said very seriously, “I don’t need to use the honorific title when I see you. You and I are fine.”
Mu Lan listened to Li Shiyu’s words and looked at Li Shiyu like this, with a trace of seriousness in his beautiful eyes: “Why?”
Simple three words, but let Li Shiyu fall into meditation. After a moment’s
silence, Li Shiyu looked up at Mu Lan. “A few years ago, I made an unforgivable mistake in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. My jealousy blinded all my reason and forced the empress and me to admit my identity. I knew it clearly, but I wanted the empress to tell me herself.”
Suddenly Li Shiyu mentioned the matter of that year, Mu Lan also followed the quiet down, so tragic to now Mu Lan are still fresh in memory.
For Li Shiyu, it is the past few years, but for Mu Lan, it is only two months ago, that kind of pain, until now are clearly visible.
I am jealous that the queen can say this to Shao Yun and Zhan Xiao, but not to me. I don’t know that forcing the queen to say this will make her disappear completely from my world. So I did, and even threatened the queen with the prince. The queen was cornered. She admitted her identity and died completely in front of me.
When Li Shiyu recalled what had happened in those years, his fingers clenched his fists and his joints exerted a slight force.
And Li Shiyu’s expression is even more sarcastic.
For a long time, Li Shiyu laughed at himself and said, “If time could come back, I would never be impulsive.”. But there is no regret medicine in this world. But I know that God has given me another chance, and I can’t make the same mistake again.
The voice fell, and Li Shiyu’s eyes looked deeply at Mu Lan: “Lan, you should be very clear about what I said, shouldn’t you?”
This, let Mu Lan lower the eyebrows and eyes, but did not say anything.
And Li Shiyu didn’t seem to mind: “Don’t say that anymore. Remember what I said. Don’t call yourself a slave any more.”
Mu Lan did not know whether to win or not.
And Li Shiyu went on to say, “I’ll find a chance to deal with the one from the Fengqing Palace.”
This made Mu Lan look at Li Shiyu and say, “If something happens to that person in the Fengqing Palace, wouldn’t that be a dead end?”
Last life, Mu Lan still remember clearly, Li Shiyu has been looking for people behind the scenes, but no matter how to find, clues will always stop abruptly, obviously the other side is a very careful person. If this were not the case, the matter would not have been delayed for such a long time without any progress.
But Mu Lan’s words, actually let Li Shiyu not utter a word.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu like this, his red lips moving slightly, but before he could say anything, Li Shiyu suddenly said, “Clues are not important compared with you.”. I want to keep you with me fair and square, not in such a way that you can’t see the light. If this clue is gone, then there will be new clues. It’s been so many years, and it’s not too short of time.
Li Shiyu’s words without a trace of a joke, even looking at Mu Lan’s eyes are followed by a serious up.
Such Li Shiyu, let Mu Lan some unable to cope with.
She watched passively as Li asked for it. The feeling was indescribable, but in the end, Mu Lan shook her head at Li Shiyu seriously: “You can’t do that.”
Li Shiyu twisted his eyebrows.
“If the one in the Fengqing Palace has anything to do with the affairs of the former princess, she can’t be kept, but you can see that she has a crush on the emperor and has the idea of occupying the back seat for a long time. As long as such a person is tempted, it will be an opportunity for the emperor.”
Mu Lan’s calm analysis: “If she is tempted, she can’t be indifferent. For these concubines in the harem, as well as those who are ready to move, she will kill them all. If she does, there must be clues exposed. Otherwise, she can’t be unimpeded in the palace alone.”
This has clearly told Li Shiyu that this one in Fengqing Palace is definitely not alone in the palace, and this palace is by no means as simple as seen on the surface, even if the other side also has eyes in the palace, although it can not move the foundation of the big week, but it can become a moderate hidden danger.
You know, a termite may not be able to shake the foundation, but if there are too many termites, the magnificent palace will collapse.
Therefore, these hidden dangers in the palace are bound to be found out, and now the one in Fengqing Palace is the best incentive.
Li Shiyu quietly listened to Mu Lan’s analysis, but Li Shiyu did not pay much attention to these things.
Li Shiyu’s heart is only Mu Lan, this harem concubine is how to think, for Li Shiyu is not important, especially looking at the Fengqing Palace of this one, Li Shiyu is more indifferent, naturally will not care about her true thoughts.
And Mu Lan’s words made Li Shiyu’s brows twist slightly: “Do you have any ideas?”
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered.
The voice was sure, but in such certainty, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan very directly, saying very clearly every word: “Lan, I allow you to do anything in the palace, but I don’t allow you to implicate yourself.”
That is the understanding of Mu Lan for a long time, as if Mu Lan spoke, Li Shiyu can understand what Mu Lan is going to do.
“No.” Mu Lan coughed a few times. Don’t
even think about it. The only thing you have to do now is to get better first. Otherwise, I will question the people at the Imperial Hospital. Li Shiyu threatened Mu Lan.
Mu Lan has some helplessness, but now the physical condition does not allow Mu Lan and Li Shiyu to have any dispute, say a few more words are extremely laborious.
So in this case, Mu Lan is quiet down, did not say much, but Mu Lan’s heart has already had the idea. When
Li Shiyu saw that Mu Lan was silent, he explained in a low voice: “Did you hear what I said? Don’t act recklessly!”
Mu Lan said, “Oh, it looks very insincere.”.
“Lan Er!” Li Shiyu’s voice was deeper.
Mu Lan simply said, “I want to rest.” Clearly
do not want to and Li Shiyu to continue to talk about this issue, and tired is true, this period of time fever of Mu Lan mentally and physically exhausted, she almost thought she was going to be burned silly.
Li Shiyu knew that Mu Lan was running away, but under such circumstances, Li Shiyu did not say anything, but calmly changed the subject: “You first have a good rest, I first go to Aofeng that look.”. If you don’t get up well, Ao Feng won’t be able to see you, eh?
Mu Lan said flatly, “I only saw the wind of pride once.”
Indeed, on that occasion, Mu Lan never saw Ao Feng again. That tone of grievance can be, Li Shiyu listened to bow his head and chuckle, can not help but scrape the bridge of Mu Lan’s nose.
“When the time comes, I will let Ao Feng see you.” Li Shiyu made a promise.
Mu Lan hum sound, but did not say anything, and Li Shiyu obviously still have something to do, also did not continue to stay here in Mu Lan, he quickly stood up, turned around and went out.
And Xia He is waiting outside. When
Li Shiyu saw Xia He, he said in a low voice, “Look at the young lady. She is not allowed to do anything in private. Once you leave the Imperial Hospital, you will tell me at the first time. Otherwise, I will only ask you!”
“Yes.” Xia He did not dare to neglect at all.
Then Li Shiyu left in a hurry, and the tall figure soon disappeared in front of everyone, as if Li Shiyu had never been here before.
…… The
next period of time.
Mu Lan’s body is slightly better, and compared with the previous weakness has been much better, at least can walk in the backyard of the hospital, rather than all day in bed.
Before the high fever also completely retreated, no longer the high fever did not retreat, such a situation, but also let the summer lotus relieved a lot.
But Xia He followed Mu Lan step by step every day, fearing that Mu Lan had done something. “Xia He,” said
Mu Lan, “if you follow me so closely, will you follow me when I go to the latrine?”
“The maidservant will bring it to you. You don’t have to go to the toilet yourself.” Xia He really has questions and answers.
Mu Lan: “… …”
But Mu Lan more or less also know, this is the meaning of Li Shiyu, Xia He dare not follow, so so follow Mu Lan, really afraid of Mu Lan blink of an eye from their own eyelids disappeared, then she can not explain and Li Shiyu, back to the unlucky person or himself.
“Miss, you’ve been out for a long time, and you’re going back. The wind outside is still very cool.” Xia He changed the subject and shouted Mu Lan.
It’s the wind.
Mu Lan nodded and then walked toward the house.
Hexiang hurried up. Not long
after Mulan returned to the house, the Imperial Kitchen had already brought lunch, which Li Shiyu had personally explained, and which Mulan liked to eat, which was more suitable for Mulan who was sick now.
Li Shiyu did almost everything in detail. And not just so, every day Li Shiyu will appear in the hospital to accompany Mu Lan, when Li Shiyu is not high-profile, are quietly silent.
Even so, that doesn’t mean no one knows.
Especially those who have been paying attention to Li Shiyu will naturally know clearly.
For example, the one in Fengqing Palace.
And at the moment of the Fengqing Palace, a solemn, indescribably gloomy, false Mulan walking back and forth in the bedroom, the side of Mammy so follow false Mulan, but also dare not open their mouths, standing with their heads down. What did
you say? Say it again to my palace. Fake Mulan suddenly turned around and asked the little eunuch standing in front of him. The voice of the
little eunuch began to tremble. “Tell the empress..” The emperor The emperor has been going to the Imperial Hospital every day these days, and the emperor has instructed the people Imperial Kitchen to prepare meals specially and send them to the Imperial Hospital three times a day.
Fake Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the little eunuch so sullenly.
The little eunuch was even more frightened by the fake Mulan, but he steeled himself and said, “It is said that these were all sent to a doctor in the Imperial Hospital.”
“Who?” Fake Mu Lan asked directly word by word.
The little eunuch shook his head desperately, how could he know so much, too inside the hospital, how could the little eunuch get in, and the false Mulan would not fail to understand this truth.
But inexplicably, false Mu Lan thought of the day Ji Jang Geum brought the medical woman.
She looked for someone to investigate this medical woman named Xiao Cen, but also did not find anything wrong, but this feeling, false Mu Lan is very clear, as if all things are arranged clearly, you see only the surface, never explore the most real facts.
Fake Mulan gradually calmed down.
You know, when she was not in the palace, it was also very clear that the concubines in the harem had never entered Li Shiyu’s eyes again, even if they kept their names, they were just empty names, and there was no difference between being relegated to the cold palace. After
she entered the palace, the only person who got Li Shiyu’s attention was herself. Even though there was no substantive relationship between them, it did not affect the status of the fake Mulan.
But now it is not the same, that is a woman’s instinctive intuition, as if after the medical woman entered the palace, everything has changed, at least Li Shiyu no longer appears in the false Mu Lan here, or, rarely come to Fengqing Palace to walk, unless the false Mu Lan took the initiative to send to the door.
Naturally, the fake Mulan can’t wait to die.
But she had long forgotten the reason why the people behind her let her enter the palace, and now she was greedy for the back seat, Li Shiyu, and the splendor and wealth that was easy to get, so she would not have too many scruples, and what she thought between the lines was a fake play.
As long as her mission is forgotten. The purpose of poisoning
Li Shiyu is to make himself better control Li Shiyu. But for the mother’s people, fake Mulan is still afraid.
“Empress, will you go and ask again?” Said the little eunuch.
“No need.” Fake Mulan answered, “I know what’s going on.”
The little eunuch did not dare to say anything more and retreated quietly. The atmosphere
in Fengqing Palace became more and more gloomy.
……
“I’m full, Xia He.” Mu Lan looked helplessly at Xia He. “That’s too much.”
“Miss, you can’t. The emperor has decreed that the maidservant should watch you finish eating.” Xia He opened his mouth with a straight face, without any intention of compromise.
Mu Lan pinched his forehead with a headache, and Xia He said, “This fish is not much, and this rice is only a few mouthfuls. You still want to eat it. Besides, these vegetables and fruits are not much, so you didn’t eat much.”. It was all eaten by one man, and the emperor himself gave instructions.
Mu Lan sighed silently.
“The emperor says you’re too thin. You need to eat more.” Xia He relayed Li Shiyu’s words to Mu Lan without missing a word. “The emperor also said that if you didn’t finish eating, you would punish the maidservant.”
That tone is aggrieved again Baba, the eye light so looked to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan is really helpless.
Things are not much, Li Shiyu’s mind Mu Lan also knows that he wants to fatten himself up, but he just really doesn’t want to eat, because he is sick and his appetite has not recovered.
“Are you uncomfortable?” Suddenly, a warm male voice came.
Li Shiyu suddenly walked in, so looked down at Mu Lan, eyebrows twisted, looking at the unfinished food, do not agree. Naturally,
he put his hand on Mulan’s forehead and said, “Do you have a fever again?”? If it doesn’t work, I’ll ask the emperor’s uncle to come into the palace and show you.
Mu Lan shook his head. “I’m fine, but I don’t have a good appetite. I can’t eat so much. Don’t let Xia He stare at me like that. It’s hard for Xia He to do it.”
“Then take a few more bites.” Li Shiyu also did not say what, just look at Mu Lan so.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows, apparently not believing Li Shiyu’s words, but Li Shiyu, without changing his face, had already taken the initiative to pick up the bowls and chopsticks and fed Mu Lan: “I won’t eat a few more mouthfuls, OK?”? If you eat too little, it’s not good for your appetite to recover. I’ll ask people in Imperial Kitchen to improve it later.
In a word, Mu Lan does not like to eat, is not Mu Lan’s problem, is other people’s problem.
Li Shiyu can torture anyone, but absolutely will not blame on Mu Lan, Mu Lan is angry and funny, but there is no way to take Li Shiyu.
Almost coaxed, Mu Lan passively ate a few mouthfuls, in a few mouthfuls are fed by Li Shiyu.
Finally is Mu Lan embarrassed, did not let Li Shiyu continue again, but so bowed the head simply to eat up the food in front of him.
Li Shiyu didn’t say anything.
Then, Li Shiyu accompanied Mu Lan to the cherry blossom forest, since Mu Lan no longer has a fever, within the scope of permission, the place to walk is only the cherry blossom forest.
Li Shiyu carefully put on a cloak for Mu Lan, never let Mu Lan catch cold, holding Mu Lan all the way, and even during this period did not shy away at all.
Mu Lan also seems not to be too taboo, and compared with the initial caution, it appears to be much more high-profile.
Li Shiyu occasionally looked at Mu Lan, as if thinking about the reason for Mu Lan to do so, can not say what is wrong, but in Mu Lan’s face, and can not see any clues.
“Go back. I’ll let someone cultivate the cherry blossoms that can bloom all the year round.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
“Cherry blossoms come all year round, so they’re not called cherry blossoms anymore. That’s fine.” Mu Lan smiled.
Li Shi-yu didn’t say anything, though, as if seeing Mu Lan smile would make him feel unhappy and happy: “When you’re ready, I’ll see you out of the palace. The Hungry Ghost Festival is coming soon, and the markets in Kyoto are very lively. I haven’t seen the market before the Hungry Ghost Festival in Kyoto for a long time.”
Over the years, even the Hungry Ghost Festival, although the palace is organized, but Li Shiyu is absent-minded, the mind is not on the Hungry Ghost Festival, less Mu Lan, as if everything has become dull. Go to Zhan Xiao for a meal
by the way. His wife’s craftsmanship is good. Shao Yun is also coming back from the frontier fortress. Li Shiyu explained.
Long Shaoyun returned to the frontier fortress two months ago, but before the Hungry Ghost Festival, Long Shaoyun will inevitably return to Kyoto. Over the years, in fact, Long Shaoyun has rarely been in the frontier fortress, at least compared with before, Long Shaoyun has hardly been there.
Thinking of Long Shaoyun, Mu Lan quieted down and then looked at Mu Zhanxiao.
“All these years, Shao Yun, I have thought about getting married, but he has refused, so I have not forced it.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly, but his tone was calm.
Mu Lan knows what Long Shaoyun thinks, to the words of the mouth, Mu Lan also did not say what, hum sound, this matter was so taken past.
Instead, Li Shiyu quieted down for a moment and then suddenly continued, “But I know that on this trip back to the frontier fortress, he was accompanied by a girl, but I haven’t seen the details. I’m afraid I won’t know until I see her.”
At this point, Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu with some surprise.
“Shao Yun is not young. At the age of ordinary people, children can play soy sauce, or even older, but he is still alone. Now he has a girl on the side, which is normal.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
“He was willing to let the girl’s family follow him, which proved that he had put it down. Besides, Shao Yun was a man, and the girl’s family did not suffer from following him.” Li Shiyu finished his words.
Mulan does not deny this.
But Mu Lan knew, not really put down, just-
finally Mu Lan also did not say anything, nodded.
“The wind is blowing.” Li Shi-yu glanced at the weather and said, “Let’s go back first.”
“Good.” Mu Lan answered.
Li Shiyu was still walking with Mu Lan in the direction of the Imperial Hospital. When he sent Mu Lan back, Li Shiyu suddenly said, “Tomorrow I will let you come to the Imperial Dragon Hall, just as my mother is coming back. It is natural for you to come to the Imperial Dragon Hall.”
It’s just an excuse.
Mulan unexpectedly did not refuse: “Good.” On the contrary,
Li Shiyu was a little curious. He thought Mu Lan would refuse, but Mu Lan generously agreed. This made Li Shiyu seriously look at Mu Lan: “So direct?”
Mu Lan smiled and said calmly, “Or what?”? If I refuse, won’t you find a way to let me go to the Dragon Palace?
This Mu Lan asked as a matter of course.
Li Shiyu chuckled, but didn’t say anything, but his eyes never left Mu Lan: “Don’t think about things you shouldn’t think about, eh?”? I just want you to be good.
“Good.” Mu Lan answered.
Two people know each other too well, entangled for too long, so each other’s every move, they can understand, so, or to spend some thought. When
Li Shiyu saw that Mu Lan had agreed, he said, “Why don’t you go back? Aren’t you going to keep an eye on Aofeng’s homework in the afternoon?”
“Drive me away?” Li Shiyu smiled.
Mu Lan did not speak, but just looked at the man in front of him and stood solemnly. Because Mu Lan knew very well that no matter what she said, Li Shiyu could find a topic to go on, so she was smart enough to keep silent.
When Li Shiyu saw that Mu Lan did not speak, he bowed his head and chuckled, looking in a good mood.
When Mu Lan was too late for convenience, Li Shiyu was so close to Mu Lan, Mu Lan was stunned, and before he could recover, the man’s thin lips suddenly fell on Mu Lan’s lips.
Not too much, so gently soft on her lips, deep eyes with a faint smile, big hands inadvertently clasped Mu Lan’s waist. With
a slight effort, the two were already close to each other.
Mu Lan subconsciously dodged, although this is the small wing of the hospital, but it does not mean that there is no one living here, just like Xia He on the side of Mu Lan’s cubicle, and not far away is the place where other medical women live, but this point, we are not in the room.
Not being in the house doesn’t mean that no one will come back temporarily. It’s not good to be seen.
“Your Majesty,” said Mu Lan in an angry voice.
But outside the wing came the sound of footsteps, Mu Lan slightly forced, pushed away Li Shiyu, two people have maintained the appropriate distance.
Li Shiyu is forced to let go of Mu Lan, but his eyes are not looking at Mu Lan for a moment: “Sooner or later I will be driven mad by you.”
Mu Lan did not speak, a light cough also did not pay attention to Li Shiyu, quickly toward their own wing, Li Shiyu so looked at Mu Lan, and did not mean to leave, until Mu Lan’s figure disappeared in front of Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu then turned around.
At the moment when Li Shiyu turned around, she saw a medical woman coming in a hurry. When she found that the person in front of her was Li Shiyu, she was shocked and even forgot to kneel down to pay her respects. Li Shiyu did not say anything and soon left calmly.
The medical woman did not dare to hesitate, and after Li Shiyu turned around, she soon followed him out of the side door of the hospital, where a small eunuch stood.
“The emperor has come up to Little Cen’s room.” The doctor lowered her voice. “Not long ago, the emperor left.”
The little eunuch nodded and soon left in a hurry.
…… By nightfall
, the candlelight had already gone out in the Fengqing Palace, leaving only a few lanterns for lighting, and the fake Mulan was already sleeping in the palace.
Suddenly, a strong wind came from the bedroom, the original closed window edge was suddenly blown open, in the quiet night, such a wind blew the window edge whirring, but let people feel a trace of chill, and false Mulan also woke up for the first time, do not want to look at the edge of the window.
As a result, the first time the fake Mulan woke up, he had already found a man in black standing in the bedroom for the first time. He could not see anything, but showed a pair of eyes. But just like that, he had already made the fake Mulan shiver and kneel directly on the ground.
“The slave sees the master.” Fake Mu Lan’s voice was even more trembling, and the feeling of fear came from within.
“I thought you didn’t remember who your master was and were ready to rebel.” The voice of the man in black sounded hoarse and shrill. It was a voice that could be disguised. “Qin Xiang, don’t forget that I nurtured you for a few years. What was the purpose of sending you to the palace?”
Qin Xiang repeatedly nodded: “I dare not forget.” Don’t
you dare? I think you have got carried away in the position of queen. I want to secure my position, win Li Shiyu’s favor, give birth to another prince, and fight with me. The man in black gave a sneer.
As if he had never been in the palace, but he could easily understand everything in the palace, for every scene in the palace, every word and deed, he could know clearly, completely unable to escape from his eyes, the eyes are sharp to Qin Xiang.
“The minions dare not, the minions dare not.” Qin Xiang has long been scared out of his wits, is really did not expect their every move can be in front of the people know clearly.
And the man in black went to Qin Xiang step by step. He pinched Qin Xiang’s chin so hard that Qin Xiang looked at himself: Qin Xiang, you are a wise man. Don’t play tricks in front of me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have chosen you to play the role of Mu Lan. After all, you’re not the only person to choose, eh?
Qin Xiang nodded repeatedly. I am the only one who can cure the poison in
your body. You don’t have to be wishful thinking to put this idea on Li Shiyu. Li Shiyu can do nothing. You only have to do what I tell you to do, and when it’s done, I’ll reward you. Otherwise, not to mention the position of queen, you won’t even be able to save your life. The man in
black warned sullenly, and the strength of the palm gradually tightened, and Qin Xiang felt that he would die in the hands of the man in black the next second.
“Remember what I say. I can take you in, or I can let you die in this palace without a sound.” Every word of the man in black is without a hint of a joke. “I don’t have much time. Li Shiyu’s poison is going to speed up.” The voice of the man in
black fell, and Qin Xiangcai opened his mouth shivering: “The emperor seldom comes to the slave recently, and the slave can’t find a chance.”. The emperor’s mind seems to have been taken away by someone.
“Who?” Asked the man in black.
“a maid of the Imperial Hospital.” Qin Xiang really didn’t dare to hesitate. She said everything she knew. “That’s why the slave was thinking about getting rid of this maid of honor.”
“Is it?” The man in black sneered, “Is it because Li Shiyu’s mind is not on you, or is it because you didn’t do what I told you?” The
slave is because the things his master has told him have not been done well. If Li Shiyu doesn’t come, the slave won’t be able to do it. That’s why the slave came up with this plan. Qin Xiang shivered to find a reasonable reason for himself. The man in
black didn’t pay any attention to Qin Xiang’s explanation. If he couldn’t see what he was thinking, he would have confessed his life long ago: “Qin Xiang, I only give you the last three months. If you haven’t seen any progress in three months, you can wait to see him.”
With that, the man in black disappeared silently in front of Qin Xiang as if he had come. After the man in black left, the window edge returned to its original appearance, but Qin Xiang was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, motionless.
She knew that her every move was monitored, but did not expect that the master came so quickly, even his own mind, he can understand, think of the poison in the body, Qin Xiang’s face also followed the pale up.
Also because of this sudden wind, the slave outside was obviously frightened, as if he had heard the noise in the bedroom, and asked anxiously outside, “Empress, Empress, are you all right?”
“It’s all right.” Qin Xiang gradually calmed down, and has become that high above the false Mulan. When the
slaves heard Qin Xiang’s voice, they were relieved.
Qin Xiang has no sleepiness, the body is scared out of a cold sweat.
The Fengqing Palace is quiet.
…… On the eve of
the Hungry Ghost Festival.
Mu Lan’s life is not much change, every day to check where these written medical books go wrong, Li Shiyu will not deliberately appear in the hospital, but to find an excuse, let Mu Lan go to the Phoenix Palace or the Royal Dragon Palace.
The queen mother Rong Lian returned to the palace. Over the years, Rong Lian’s body was not as good as before, and the number of times she returned to the palace was much less. She spent most of her time in the temple chanting sutras and sending Buddha. When she came back, the people in the hospital would also go to the queen mother to recuperate her body.
Mu Lan is this man.
Rong Lian didn’t think much about it, but when she saw Mu Lan’s face, she was a little surprised. Because of this face without makeup, but it is unforgettable at a glance, can not say that feeling, but Rong Lian has not seen such a memorable person in the palace for many years.
Occasionally Rong Lian will chat with Mu Lan, Mu Lan can take the topic of Rong Lian very well, but also because of this, Rong Lian is impressed with Mu Lan, so that later, Rong Lian will take the initiative to call Mu Lan from the hospital.
But Rong Lian also gradually found that as long as Mu Lan appeared in the Fengluan Palace, then Li Shiyu would inevitably appear, words to not much, but Rong Lian noticed that Li Shiyu’s line of sight has been looking at the direction of Mu Lan, the eyes are like looking at their beloved, how do not want to move a bit.
Not to mention, Rong Lian inadvertently, also saw Li Shiyu’s little action.
When Mu Lan came, if he passed in front of Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu would reach out and clasp Mu Lan’s wrist, and Mu Lan would pull his hand out angrily, which was so quick that it was almost impossible to meet him if not inadvertently.
But it is a unique communication between two people.
You know, Rong Lian is very clear that Li Shiyu’s love and hatred are given to one person, that is, Mu Lan, and now Mu Lan is already in the Fengqing Palace, but not Li Shiyu so warm treatment, but for this medical woman, Li Shiyu seems to pour all the enthusiasm. How can
Rong Lian not be surprised.
When Mu Lan got up to leave, Rong Lian did not stop him, and Li Shiyu also had the intention of leaving. Then
Rong Lian stopped Li Shiyu and said, “Your Majesty, please stay.”
“Mother?” Li Shiyu turned and looked at Rong Lian. Is
the emperor taking the Ai family here as a place to meet? This is a reason for the Ai family to accept this medical girl. Usually I don’t see the emperor coming to the Ai family with such enthusiasm. Now it’s all right. You can see the emperor appearing at the Ai family at any time and anywhere. Rong Lian raised her eyebrows and asked Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu smiled and did not explain the matter to Rong Lian.
Rong Lian didn’t mind either. She took a sip of tea, which Mu Lan had made before. “This doctor girl has an exquisite heart, and she’s very pleasing.”
Li Shiyu gave a hum.
“What does the emperor think?” Rong Lian asked directly, “Is she going to be made a concubine?”? Has the emperor and the queen discussed this matter? Also, Ai Jia came back for such a period of time, but did not find that the emperor went to the queen? If the emperor does this, how can he be worthy of the empress?
Li Shi-yu calmly looked at Jung Lien and calmly responded: “When I go back to my mother, I have my own sense of propriety.”
“Good.” Rong Lian didn’t ask much. Li Shiyu has
always been a man with a sense of propriety.
Feng Qing Palace that one back to the palace for a year, except for the first few months, Li Shiyu will frequently in and out of Feng Qing Palace, but Rong Lian also noticed that Li Shiyu and Feng Qing Palace that one together feeling has long been different from the first, but is respectful, as for the reason, Rong Lian did not ask much.
But in this medical woman’s body, actually discovered the completely different feeling.
It’s a feeling of heartbeat.
“If there is nothing to do, I will leave first.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
Rong Lian gave a hum and said nothing.
Li Shiyu turned and walked outside the Fengluan Palace, and Rong Lian looked at the figure who was still leaving so quietly, but thoughtfully.
For Li Shiyu’s understanding, Rong Lian is very clear that the medical woman named Xiao Cen is not general, Li Shiyu is a very stubborn person, that people will not easily change their life, but now this is the case.
As for the one in Fengqing Palace, Rong Lian also noticed something was wrong.
Because of the one in Fengqing Palace, even though every time she returned to the palace, she would come to Fengluan Palace to pay her respects, but when she chatted with the one in Fengqing Palace, she was much more restrained. At first, Rong Lian thought it was only a few years’absence, but it was the first time that she and Mu Lan had not seen each other for a few years, which should not be the case.
So for a long time, two people’s words are a lot less, not as close as the first.
On the contrary, today’s medical woman let Rong Lian find her own feeling.
With Li Shiyu’s attitude, Rong Lian’s heart flashed an incredible idea, and her eyes became shocked, but only for a moment, Rong Lian hid such a thought very well.
She turned over the book in the bedroom as if nothing had happened, and the palace became quiet again.
…… Not long after
Mu Lan walked out of Fengluan Palace, there was a familiar sound of footsteps behind her. Mu Lan knew that Li Shiyu was following her, and her footsteps did not slow down. After all, this person’s pace was very fast, and it was easy to catch up with him.
Sure enough, soon, a warm force so buckled on the wrist of Mu Lan, Mu Lan did not have time to exclaim, Li Shiyu has been firmly standing on the edge of Mu Lan.
“Why are you walking so fast?” Li Shiyu lowered his head and asked, but with a faint smile in his eyes.
Mulan raised her eyebrows and said calmly, “My pace is not fast, but the emperor’s pace is too fast.”
Li Shiyu also followed the smile, he looked at Mu Lan, index finger gently on the bridge of Mu Lan’s nose hook, as if they were small movements, intimate and with a trace of ambiguity.
“Your Majesty, this is the palace.” Mu Lan was led by Li Shiyu for a few steps before he opened his mouth to remind Li Shiyu.
Li Shi-yu’s smile never diminished: “So what?”? Do you really think that no one in the palace knows?
“Well, some people know about it, but they can’t be reckless.” Mu Lan is serious.
Li Shiyu did not embarrass Mu Lan, but let go of Mu Lan, but he looked at Mu Lan with a trace of spoiling and tenderness in his eyes: “Do you know what this looks like?”
“What?” Mu Lan didn’t come to his senses for a while.
But Li Shiyu said with a smile, “Like when I was King Yu, we got along.”
Mu Lan was suddenly enlightened, but also followed by bowing his head and chuckling out, really like, at that time, they also act very low-key, can not be known by anyone, to avoid trouble.
At that time, Mu Lan has married into the palace, Li Shiyu will also follow the reason to enter the palace, in order to meet with Mu Lan, even if the anger, also can not affect Li Shiyu’s decision.
But now it is somewhat similar to the situation at that time.
Clearly together, but can not be public, can not be known. As if in the insipid get along, but also with a trace of excitement.
When Li Shiyu saw Mu Lan smiling, he chuckled too. Then he continued, “Give me a little more time.”
“Good.” Mu Lan smiled.
Li Shiyu listened to Mu Lan’s reply, but he quieted down. His eyebrows and eyes fell on Mu Lan’s body, reminding him once again: “Don’t act foolishly.”
Mu Lan smiled and said nothing.
Two people so walked forward, who did not speak, but each other have a tacit understanding to the side door of the imperial palace, today is a few days before the Hungry Ghost Festival, they made an appointment to go to Mu Zhanxiao’s house for dinner, and in between, Li Shiyu to take Mu Lan to Kyoto’s market walk. The market before
the Hungry Ghost Festival is far more lively than day of the Hungry Ghost Festival.
After all, the people had already gone home to celebrate the Hungry Ghost Festival at home that day, but it was Kyoto before the festival that was crowded with people, and the new things in the hands of all kinds of vendors were dazzling. In the past,
Mu Lan also liked these small things best.
Soon, two people arrived at the side door of the imperial palace, Rong Jiu had already arranged the carriage, when he saw Mu Lan, Rong Jiu nodded politely, in the present rank, Rong Jiu is the imperial bodyguard with a knife, naturally there is no need to pay his respects to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan returned a smile.
Rong Jiu has not had time to take the pedal, Li Shiyu has personally helped Mu Lan up, without the slightest scruple about his identity.
Under such circumstances, Rong Jiu was quiet and did not say anything, waiting for Li Shiyu to get into the carriage before he rode away.
In Rong Jiu’s view, no matter who it is, as long as Li Shiyu likes it, Rong Jiu will follow it all his life, not to mention that when the medical woman of the hospital and Li Shiyu are together, it is Rong Jiu who has seen Li Shiyu’s smile for so many years.
So Rong Jiu was impressed by this medical woman.
Soon, the carriage walked slowly towards the market.
Mu Lan so quietly sitting in the carriage, opened the curtain, looking at the scene outside, Li Shiyu in the side to accompany, but did not say anything.
“I haven’t seen you for a few years, and I’ve found that the markets in Kyoto are not quite the same.” Mu Lan opened his mouth with some emotion.
“How is it different?” Li Shiyu asked.
“The market has become more lively, and the people seem to be in high spirits. They should all be living a good life.” Mulan thought for a moment, “There are a lot of new things, like things from Outland, not things from Dazhou.”
Li Shi-yu hums, but doesn’t deny it: “I remember we used to come here during the Hungry Ghost Festival. At that time, you said there were too few new things in the market. Later, after I came to power, I vigorously developed these things, but you couldn’t wait. Over the years, things have gradually become lively.”
Mu Lan nodded and said nothing. During
this period, Li Shiyu’s efforts can be guessed by Mu Lan without participation. In the era of Dazhou, the traffic is not convenient and the network does not exist. If these imported products want to enter Dazhou, they have to go through a long way slowly. Dazhou is closed to the outside world all the year round. It is not easy to open these things. There are too many people and things to go through.
And Li Shiyu did so, but also because of Mu Lan’s words.
So, how can you say that this man does not love himself, on the contrary, this man has loved himself to the bone marrow.
Mu Lan did not speak, but quietly looked at Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu’s eyebrows and eyes always with a faint smile, fell on Mu Lan, tender and gentle.
Under such circumstances, the carriage has slowly stopped at the edge of the market.
Yung Chiu’s voice said, “Fourth Master, we’re already here.”
Li Shiyu hum, this just got out of the car, and then like a glance when he came, personally helped Mu Lan out of the carriage, both of them had changed into light clothes to go out, looking like an ordinary couple.
“Wait for me at Prince Mu’s Mansion.” Li Shiyu told Rong Jiu. Without hesitation,
Rong Jiu said, “Yes.”
Soon, Rong Jiu did not follow two people, the carriage turned around and went directly to Mu Wang Fu. Rong Jiu is not worried about the safety of Li Shiyu, now Kyoto is very safe, and in the dark, countless shadow guards follow Li Shiyu, if there is an accident, they can deal with the first time to ensure that Li Shiyu is safe and sound.
After Rong Jiu left, Mu Lan and Li Shiyu seriously from the beginning of the market, one by one around the small stalls, the market was crowded, many people came out to buy things, coming and going, but it was very lively.
“Be careful, don’t get separated.” Li Shiyu held Mu Lan firmly in his hand.
Mu Lan looked back at Li Shiyu and smiled. “If you get separated, can’t you find me in the crowd?”
In a word, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan with a heavy look, and then said, “Yes.”
That’s for sure.
Mu Lan is raised eyebrows, and then suddenly compared to the people on the road, and so looked at Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu some unknown, but Li Shiyu is not in a hurry, patiently waiting for Mu Lan to finish the words.
“You see, there is a custom of wearing masks on the Hungry Ghost Festival.” “But this mask is not different. It’s all the same. It’s just the difference between men and women.”
Li Shiyu looked at the past, indeed, but Li Shiyu did not know what Mu Lan was going to do, so Li Shiyu did not speak, just so quietly looking at Mu Lan.
“Would you like to try it?” Mu Lan asked directly.
“Try what?” Only then did Li Shiyu open his mouth.
Mu Lan conveniently picked up the mask on the vendor, very simply paid the money, and then gave the male mask to Li Shiyu, the female mask to himself, Li Shiyu bowed his head and took it.
But in this action, Li Shiyu already understood what Mu Lan meant: “Do you want to wear a mask in the crowd and see if I can’t find you at a glance?”
“Mmm.” Mulan laughs. “You know what I’m thinking.”
As if any of Mu Lan’s every move could not escape Li Shiyu’s eyes, and Li Shiyu listened to Mu Lan’s words, bowed his head and chuckled.
But Li Shi-yu did not agree: “There are too many people here, and I’m afraid something will happen.”
Not afraid of anything else, but worried about Mu Lan accident, now Mu Lan and the previous is not the same, wearing a mask into the crowd, if there are many people, the shadow guard can not distinguish the first time, if there is really any accident, Li Shiyu can not afford such a thing.
So Li Shiyu refused.
Mu Lan in Li Shiyu’s words, as if to understand what, nodded, and finally did not insist, but she still mischievously put on the mask.
Li Shiyu shook his head helplessly, but also very cooperative, but two people holding hands, has not been loosened, so with the flow of people, toward the most lively place in the market. The busiest place in the
market is even more crowded, surrounded by many shops, people coming and going, almost a hubbub of people.
Mu Lan in front of every shop look seriously, like things, she will look at Li Shiyu, and Li Shiyu will pay to buy, and then help Mu Lan hold in hand, two people do not need too much verbal communication, can know each other’s ideas.
But as more and more to the most central position, the density of the crowd has been beyond the scope of control, in such a crowd collision, Li Shiyu holding Mu Lan’s hand loosened, Mu Lan disappeared from the front of Li Shiyu, this, Li Shiyu confused. The shadow guard on
one side had already silently stepped forward and said, “My subordinates are going to look for a young lady.”
Li Shiyu did not speak, sharp eyes looked into the crowd, and the shadow guard has been dispersed, now every moment, Li Shiyu dare not hesitate, afraid of any accident, the people behind the scenes, I am afraid has been unable to wait.
If something happened,
Li Shiyu did not go far and looked around sharply.
Around a lot of people wearing masks, back and forth, but soon, Li Shiyu’s eyes fell on a position not far away, wearing dark pink clothes, so in the crowd back and forth, as if looking for something.
And a cherry blossom hairpin, but inexplicably in the crowd, appears to be particularly eye-catching.
That’s Mulan.
Li Shiyu almost locked Mu Lan for the first time, eyes never moved away from Mu Lan’s body, quickly squeezed the crowd to run in front of Mu Lan, so firmly clasped Mu Lan’s hand.
Mu Lan startled, and then through the mask to see the eyes, let Mu Lan calm down, in the mask under the small face of brilliant laughter.
After that, Mu Lan took the initiative to lift the mask: “I didn’t expect to get separated.”. I couldn’t find you, but I didn’t expect you to see me for the first time.
“Your clothes and your cherry blossom hairpin.” Li Shiyu said softly, “So I saw you at a glance.”
Mu Lan nodded, “But there are quite a few people wearing the same clothes.”
“You are not the same in my eyes.” Li Shiyu looked down at Mu Lan.
It was in the vast sea of people, and you could see it at a glance.
Mulan quieted down and suddenly asked, “Then why didn’t you recognize me last time?”
“Recognized.” Li Shiyu lowered his eyebrows and gently rubbed Mu Lan’s cheek with his finger pulp. “It’s just too late.”
Mu Lan did not speak either.
“Not anymore.” Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan like this, “Never again.”. No matter what you become, I can find you at first sight in the crowd.
This made Mu Lan’s eyes slightly red, and the crowd around him was still walking back and forth, but Mu Lan seemed not to mind anything. Suddenly, he stood on tiptoe, put his arm around Li Shiyu’s neck, and took the initiative to kiss the man’s thin lips.
Li Shiyu was a little surprised.
But at the moment when Mu Lan took the initiative to kiss, Li Shiyu’s thin lips had been completely covered up, from passive to active. Everything
around seemed to be still, and the crowd kept moving back and forth, but it did not affect the touching between the two people.
Until Mu Lan could not breathe, Li Shiyu loosened Mu Lan, but the next moment, he held Mu Lan gently in his arms.
A long, long time.
…… Before
dinner, Mu Lan left the market. Li Shiyu took a lot of Mu Lan’s booty in his hand, and then they went to Mu Wang Fu.
This kind of gathering is only Mu Zhanxiao and Li Shiyu’s private gathering, so it seems particularly low-key, and did not attract anyone’s attention.
When Li Shiyu and Mu Lan arrived at Prince Mu’s mansion, Mu Zhanxiao himself was waiting at the door: “Fourth Master, Xiao Cen, you’re here.”
Li Shiyu nodded his head and then took Mu Lan to the palace of the Prince of Mu.
Mu Lan returned to Mu Wang Fu, but it is not seen for many years, but Mu Wang Fu has not changed much, Mu Lan understand Mu Zhanxiao, has never been a luxury person, Wang Fu is clean.
Mu Zhanxiao went straight to the front hall to meet the two men.
Chen butler has prepared the meal, Mu Lan saw Chen butler when he felt cordial, but with the passage of time, Chen butler also began to white temples.
“After the Hungry Ghost Festival, steward Chen will retire and return to his hometown.” Mu Zhanxiao followed Mu Lan’s line of sight and then explained, “He’s getting older and older, and he’s unable to do a lot of things.”
“Then who will take Chen’s place?” Mu Lan asked directly.
When Chen butler for Mu Lan’s help, Mu Lan still remember in mind.
“One of the children adopted by the housekeeper Chen has been studying all kinds of things with the housekeeper Chen in the palace for the past few years, so now he is much more handy.” Mu Zhanxiao explained.
Mu Lan nodded: “That’s good.”. When Chen’s butler returns to his hometown, Prince Mu’s mansion will still treat him well.
“That’s natural.” Mu Zhan answered.
In such a chat, the three of them had already taken their seats. Only then did Mu Lan look at Mu Zhanxiao and ask, “Why don’t you see Princess Mu?”
Mu Zhanxiao smiled and said, “She’s pregnant and about to give birth. She’s a little tired, so I didn’t let her come out.”
It is not Mu Zhanxiao who hides Xu Wanying, but sincerely cares about Xu Wanying’s body, and knows that they will chat until late at night, let a pregnant person accompany, it is not good, it is better not to come.
“Yes, too.” Mulan didn’t mind. “When the princess is finished giving birth, I’ll look for another chance.”
“Good.” Mu Zhanxiao smiled.
“About what time?” Mu Lan asked again.
Mu Zhanxiao calculated the time: “It was probably after the Hungry Ghost Festival.”
“Then you have to work hard.”
“No.”
……
Two people have not a chat, Li Shiyu is quiet, this dish is full, the slaves soon added a pair of bowls and chopsticks, Li Shiyu and Mu Lan are not surprised, because this is prepared for Long Shaoyun.
“Hasn’t Shao Yun come yet?” Li Shiyu took a sip of sake and asked.
Mu Zhanxiao looked at the time and said, “It should be soon.” “
Your Majesty, Wang Yeh, General Long is here.” As he spoke, he quieted down, as if hesitating, and then went on to say, “General Long brought a girl with him.”
At this point, Li Shiyu and Mu Zhanxiao were surprised, and even Mu Lan was surprised.
Long Shaoyun came back with a girl, they know, but Long Shaoyun’s weak character, will not bring women to come, but today let everyone surprised?
“Add another pair of bowls and chopsticks.” Mu Zhanxiao quickly ordered.
When the slaves set up the bowls and chopsticks, Long Shaoyun had already come in with people, Mu Lan’s eyes and Long Shaoyun’s eyes were opposite, Long Shaoyun almost understood at first sight, he smiled faintly at Mu Lan, his eyebrows and eyes were absolutely relaxed.
Like years of tension, at the moment of seeing Mu Lan, they all relaxed.
But the girl who followed Long Shaoyun was quiet, not amazing, but it was particularly comfortable to see that she was a housekeeper.
It is indeed the girl that Long Shaoyun needs.
“Don’t you want to introduce me?” Li Shiyu took the initiative to break the silence. Then
Long Shao-yun bowed with his hand and said, “I have seen the emperor.” Then he and Mu Zhanxiao nodded and motioned, and only then did they introduce the man on the side, “Liu Mingling.”
Liu Mingling said, “I have seen the emperor, Lord Mu.” When she saw Mu Lan, Liu Mingling quieted down for a moment and then continued, “I’ve seen the empress.”
This is the idea of human instinct, Mu Lan is obviously not Mu Zhanxiao’s wife, it can only be followed by Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu brought people, intuition will be considered as the empress of the palace.
Mu Lan hesitated for a moment, but before he could explain, it was Li Shiyu who tacitly accepted the name: “Sit down first.”
At the moment when Long Shaoyun introduced Liu Mingling, both Mu Zhanxiao and Li Shiyu understood Liu Mingling’s identity, but neither of them exposed it, as if they did not know about it.
You know, now Long Shaoyun today’s status, Liu Mingling is not worthy of Long Shaoyun, not just so, this Liu Mingling is by no means without background.
It was the people of the Liu family who were beheaded all over the house a year ago.
Liu Mingling is a member of the Liu family, but also in the beheading list, but Liu Mingling survived, this is why self-evident, that is, Long Shaoyun has the ability to steal in the beheading list, but Long Shaoyun in front of two people, also did not hide anything.
Li Shiyu and Mu Zhanxiao are very clear, Long Shaoyun is a measured person, what to do, what not to do, he knows.
What’s more, Liu Mingling is just the Liu family, and did not involve the matter at that time, Long Shaoyun to do so in private, Li Shiyu will not ask.
On the contrary, Mu Lan seemed to understand something in the eyes of several men.
But Mu Lan also kept silent, listening to the three men chatting, also did not interrupt, men are talking about state affairs, she is accompanied by the side of the quiet Liu Mingling began to speak.
Women talk about the problem is much more casual, the Liu family is also a famous family, Liu Mingling’s family background is not bad, naturally these rules are very good, every word and deed, will not travel.
It was also a good conversation.
It was only at the end of the meal that Li Shiyu turned the conversation to Liu Mingling and Long Shaoyun: “When are you going to get married?”
Long Shaoyun was quiet for a moment. “We’ll talk about it later.”
“If you want to get married, just let me know, and I will issue a decree.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
Long Shaoyun looked at Li Shiyu and bowed with his hand. “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help.”
Li Shiyu waved his hand, but did not say anything, and Long Shaoyun so many years of friendship, naturally know what Long Shaoyun Xie, he nodded.
Just as they got up to leave, it suddenly began to rain outside the house, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
And now the time is not early, so delay, do not know how long to go back, the most important thing is that Long Shaoyun and Li Shiyu are with women, although there is a carriage, but when it rains is always inconvenient.
Mu Zhanxiao quieted down and then said, “I’m afraid the rain won’t stop for a while. It’s going to get heavier and heavier. It’s a little fast. If it turns into a storm on the way back, it’s not safe.”. If the emperor and Shao Yun don’t mind, I’ll stay here, and I’ll let someone clean it up.
Long Shao-yun twisted his eyebrows and glanced at the sky. He looked at Liu Ming-ling subconsciously. He didn’t think much about it. “That’s trouble.”
Liu Mingling’s body is not very good, so go back in the rain, easy to catch the cold, so Long Shaoyun did not have to take such a risk, not to mention before they eat here in Mu Zhanxiao, if the time is late, they will stay in Mu Wang Fu overnight.
Mu Wangfu has two rooms specially for them, so it’s not a big deal.
Li Shi-yu didn’t put it off either: “It’s all right, it’s always inconvenient when it rains, so just stay.”
Mu Zhanxiao nodded and motioned, “I’m going to arrange it.”
After a while, Mu Zhanxiao has been explained, Chen housekeeper also quickly arranged, and did not deliberately prepare more rooms, is still before the two wing, Mu Wang Fu’s slave respectfully took two people back to the room.
……
At that time —
“Go take a bath, rest, and return to the palace tomorrow morning.”. There’s no need to worry about the hospital. I’ll arrange it. Li Shiyu closed the door and said gently to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan hum, but did not say anything, her eyes fell on Li Shiyu’s body, but some slightly uncomfortable.
It seems that I haven’t been in the same room with this man in the dead of night for a long time, and no one disturbs me, at least in the palace of Mu Wang, Mu Lan doesn’t need to worry too much.
“Thinking about what?” Li Shi-yu looked at Mu Lan and naturally walked up to her. “Go to the backyard and have a look,” he said. “There are a few more hot springs in the backyard.”
Mu Lan is not surprised.
Kyoto has always been rich in hot springs, and there are many hot spring pools in Mu Wang Fu, but now they may be slightly changed, leaving Li Shiyu and Long Shaoyun the best location.
Li Shiyu had already taken Mu Lan’s hand and walked out of the house, which was surrounded by a bamboo fence and filled with smoke in the hot spring pool.
“The slave has also brought your garments, and these were before you.” Li Shiyu continued. Although
Mu Lan married from Mu Wang Fu to the palace, but her things did not move, Mu Wang Fu people have been kept, even if later Mu Lan accident, Mu Zhanxiao has not let people move.
Now Li Shiyu’s room is the courtyard where Mu Lan lived.
Mu Lan is naturally familiar.
“Why don’t you speak?” Li Shiyu so hooked Mu Lan’s chin, Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu.
Mu Lan then chuckled: “It seems that this is the first time we’ve been alone so openly, and we don’t have to worry about being discovered.”
Li Shiyu listened to Mu Lan’s words, but also followed the silent laughter, with a thin cocoon of finger pulp so gently rubbed Mu Lan’s cheek, the smile in the eyebrows and eyes also followed more and more obvious.
“Want to do what?” Li Shiyu suddenly asked.
Mu Lan was stunned at first, and soon understood something in Li Shiyu’s words. She looked at the man angrily, and subconsciously reached out and thumped the man’s chest: “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Li Shiyu’s smile became more and more obvious, and soon, Li Shiyu bent down and picked up Mu Lan directly, and quickly walked toward the hot spring pool outside.
Mu Lan exclaimed, but did not refuse. Until
the hot spring pool outside, Li Shiyu carefully put down Mu Lan, so the eyes fell on the body of Mu Lan.
“Your Majesty,” Mu Lan called out to the man with some anger.
“Call me Shiyu.” Li Shiyu said every word very clearly, and his eyes became more and more tender.
Mu Lan was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn’t called this man that for a long time, but Li Shiyu was so patient that he just stared until Mu Lan’s mouth gently called out the word “Shiyu,” and the smile on Li Shiyu’s face deepened a little.
Under such circumstances, Li Shiyu bowed his head and kissed Mu Lan, and everything became a matter of course. In
the smoky hot spring pool, the water splashed out with the ripples, and the long hair was thoroughly soaked, but it did not affect anything at all. I can’t
stop it.
“Slow down.” Mu Lan’s voice suddenly came.
She is not before Mu Lan, but their own body, so a lot of things naturally seem not quite the same.
Li Shiyu looked down at Mu Lan, but listened to Mu Lan’s words, but his eyebrows and eyes never left Mu Lan.
At the end, Li Shiyu was slightly surprised, but it was only for a moment that he knew.
When Mu Lan saw Li Shiyu’s clear look, he breathed a sigh of relief. The smoke in the
hot spring pool became more and more tangled up, and Li Shiyu’s deep, husky voice went with firmness, word by word in Mu Lan’s ear: “Give me another princess.”
Previously, because Mu Lan’s body did not allow it, Li Shiyu broke the idea, but now Mu Lan does not have this problem, and Li Shiyu is very clear that he only wants Mu Lan’s children.
Mu Lan did not answer.
……
Still later, Mu Lan was too tired to speak, Li Shiyu served Mu Lan very well, until Mu Lan returned to the soft bed, she almost closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Li Shiyu gently hugged Mu Lan, and his eyes became more and more precious. Over the
years, I don’t know how many times this scene has appeared in Li Shiyu’s heart, but next week, it seems to be the real line of sight.
That kind of feeling, can not say carefree.
He watched quietly for a long time before he fell asleep with Mu Lan in his arms.
……
The next day.
Mu Lan woke up, the bed is quiet, has long lost the figure of Li Shiyu, Mu Lan subconsciously took a look outside the house, the sky has begun to brighten, this point Li Shiyu is going to the morning, naturally can not be in the house. Only then did
Mu Lan get up quickly, and the slaves outside the house had obviously heard the noise, and immediately came in to wait for Mu Lan to change clothes, many slaves were also familiar with Mu Lan, apparently Mu Zhanxiao had arranged a special trip. After breakfast,
Mu Lan met Xu Wanying. They chatted a few words, but they were polite. However, Mu Lan was not tired of Xu Wanying. Although she was not enthusiastic, Mu Lan could feel Xu Wanying’s love for Mu Zhanxiao between the lines.
I’m afraid it was already very strong many years ago.
“When you give birth, I will send you a sewn ladle.” Before Mu Lan left, she stopped Xu Wanying from seeing her off. “You’re pregnant now, so you don’t have to see me off, so you don’t have to look back and blame me.”
“Good.” Xu Wanying also did not force, so toward Mu Lan smile.
Mu Lan did not say anything, and soon got into the carriage, which quietly sped away in the direction of the palace, while the driver of the carriage was still Rong Jiu.
When Mu Lan came out, Rong Jiu was respectful, what happened last night, no one needs to say, everyone’s heart is clear.
Rong Jiu knows very clearly that Mu Lan in front of him is by no means an ordinary person, and naturally he cannot be neglected.
“Slow down, Miss.” Rong Jiu answered.
Mu Lan nodded and then got on the bus calmly.
She returned to the palace, as Li Shiyu said, he had already arranged, and no one felt that there was anything wrong, and the people in the hospital did not ask Mu Lan, even Xia He did not ask more.
Mu Lan also saved a lot of trouble. When
she returned to the house, she quietly resumed reading the medical books she had not finished reading the day before and marked them.
Outside the door came the voice of a fragrant lotus: “Miss, someone has come from Fengqing Temple.”
Summer lotus this, let Mu Lan subconsciously look at the sky outside the window, you know, she went out of the palace for most of the day, in the evening also in Mu Zhanxiao that meal, to now back to the palace, the sky is not early.
And Feng Qing Palace there, but now suddenly came? This is obviously directed at themselves, the purpose is too obvious, nothing does not go to the Three Treasures Palace, in this imperial palace for so many years, how can Mu Lan not understand this truth. After a moment’s
silence, Mulan replied, “I’ll be right there.” “Yes,”
replied Hsia Ho. Quiet down outside the
house, Mu Lan stood up and changed the clothes of the hospital, and then stood up. Her low eyebrows and eyes hid a deep meaning, she was still thinking about how to be fair and aboveboard in front of the Fengqing Palace, the result is that now she does not need to advance, some people can not wait to get up.
Yeah, I can’t wait. Otherwise wasted these days, she is so high-profile, high-profile also just means to tell this one in Fengqing Palace, what she and Li Shiyu are doing.
As long as Mu Lan’s guess is right, this one of Fengqing Palace is moved, then it is impossible to be indifferent, sooner or later to find their own, and this time to Fengqing Palace, is bound to be extremely dangerous.
Sink, Mu Lan has changed his clothes and stood up, calmly toward the outside of the house, also did not let the people from Fengqing Palace wait for a long time.
Lotus fragrance naturally did not follow, in the hospital to serve Mu Lan is one thing, but in the palace, no one knows that a small medical woman has a special person to serve, spread out will inevitably cause a great uproar. There is no need
for Mulan to make trouble for himself.
She calmly walked to the small courtyard, looked at the maidservant in front of her, she saw once can never forget, this is the big palace maid Qiqiao of Fengqing Palace.
“Miss Chi-chiao, what’s the matter that made you come to the hospital to see me?” Mu Lan asked directly, so looked at Qiqiao, also appears to be more polite.
Qiqiao hesitated and said, “Well, little Cen, the empress hasn’t been feeling well these days and wants you to go over and have a look.”. You went with Doctor Ji before, and the Empress had a deep memory of you. She thought that Doctor Ji was usually very busy, so she didn’t want to disturb her, so she asked me to call you over.
This reason is impeccable, Qiqiao also said very calm, so looking at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan smiled faintly and said, “Thanks to the empress, Miss Qiqiao will lead the way.”
Qiqiao nodded, Mu Lan just took the medicine box he carried with him, so he followed Qiqiao to Fengqing Palace.
On the way, it was Qiqiao who gave Mu Lan good advice: “The empress is the emperor’s favorite person. Now that the empress has taken a fancy to you, it’s your good fortune. If you take good care of the empress, you will be successful in the palace in the future.”
Mu Lan hum, and did not comment much.
Just the corners of Mu Lan’s mouth inadvertently rose, with a slight taunt, it does not know whether to rise in the world first, or to die without a whole body first.
Mu Lan hid his mind, but the pace at his feet did not stop, and soon followed Qiqiao through the Imperial Garden and went directly to the Fengqing Palace.
At this time, the Fengqing Palace was not as brightly lit as before, leaving a few lights, at the gate of the palace, Mu Lan was quiet, looking at the surrounding situation, quietly, and Qiqiao also obviously did not communicate, and soon led Mu Lan in.
The two men arrived at the Fengqing Palace one after the other.
This was the second time Mulan had returned to the Fengqing Palace. She saw the fake Mulan leaning against the soft collapse. She was very calm and blessed. She paid her respects: “The maidservant has seen the empress. The empress is a thousand years old.”
“Get up.” Fake Mulan’s voice came faintly, but it was very elegant, but looking at Mulan’s eyes was not so friendly, but much sharper.
As if to inquire about something, and as if to see something from Mu Lan, but on the surface, she is quiet, the atmosphere in the bedroom, slightly with a trace of stagnation, no one took the initiative to break such silence.
Qiqiao stood quietly on the edge of the fake Mulan and never spoke again.
Mu Lan was not afraid. She broke the silence and looked at the fake Mu Lan. “Empress, is there anything wrong with your body?”
It was as if Mu Lan had opened his mouth, and then the fake Mu Lan in front of him slowly opened his mouth. The voice still had a trace of helplessness: This is already more than half a month away from the Hungry Ghost Festival. The Hungry Ghost Festival is also the most lively festival in the palace every year, and it is also the first Hungry Ghost Festival organized by the palace after I came back. Naturally, I can’t neglect it. I do everything myself. So it’s probably a bit of a headache and fever, and a cold with typhoid fever.
“The maidservant felt the empress’s pulse.” Mu Lan listens, also is very calm.
“That’s natural and good.” Fake Mulan smiles and is very cooperative. “Before you came with Ji Yi-nu, I had a deep memory, so I called you here specially. In my opinion, you have a bright future in the future.”
“I don’t want to be a slave.” Mu Lan spoke modestly.
She lowered her head and felt her pulse carefully, but when Mulan’s hand touched the pulse of the fake Mulan, her eyebrows twisted slightly.
Almost at the moment of feeling the pulse, Mu Lan knew very clearly that the one in front of him was simply moaning without illness, and that there was nothing wrong with the pulse condition, not even fatigue.
But soon, Mu Lan also noticed something was wrong, in this false Mu Lan’s pulse condition, faintly some abnormal places, but such abnormalities soon flashed by, and can not grasp the first time, want to test again, but found that such abnormalities can not be found.
This makes Mulan feel strange.
On the contrary, it was the false Mulan who urged, “What is the situation in this palace?”? We can’t delay the Hungry Ghost Festival. The closer it gets, the more things we have to do ourselves.
“It’s just that the empress is overtired, and the essence is somewhat damaged. It’s not a big problem. The maidservant gives the empress some nourishing prescriptions. Take them for three days, and everything will be all right.” Mu Lan answered calmly.
Fake Mulan nodded: “That’s good.”
Mulan loosened the fake Mulan’s hand, turned around and quickly gave his own prescription, which was just for invigorating Qi and beautifying the face, even if ordinary people ate it, there was no major obstacle.
Then Mu Lan picked up the prescription and nodded to the fake Mu Lan, saying, “Empress, the maidservant and Miss Qiqiao will go back to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.”
“Good.” Fake Mulan is also very gentle.
Soon, Qiqiao took the initiative to come forward and leave with Mu Lan. This time, it seemed calm to come to Fengqing Palace. He just prescribed a nourishing prescription that anyone could prescribe, not even making things difficult.
But Mu Lan is very clear, this is the calm before the storm, the more calm, the more representative of the next storm.
But Mu Lan is not afraid, quietly walking in front, just hiding in the wide sleeve of the hand tight, low under the eyebrows and eyes hidden in the deep meaning, the mind is still thinking about the pulse of the vision before the false Mu Lan.
Such a pulse, Mu Lan has seen.
Not in other places, but in their own body, of course, that is their own flesh in previous lives, that flesh is a natural poison pool, so the previous life of Mulan is invulnerable to all kinds of poisons, because her body is the gathering place of countless poisons of time.
And when Mu Lan comes into contact with every new poison, her pulse will initially appear like this, a flash of vision, will soon disappear.
This means two situations, one is like Mu Lan, who can quickly adapt to the new poison and gradually merge with the body, the other is the formation of a chronic poison, when it is too late to attack, occasionally you can find traces of poisoning in the pulse, but it is impossible to determine. If
this is not experienced, it is easy to be brought to the past, just like the occasional abnormal pulse condition of ordinary people, which is not to be feared.
So, is the person behind the scenes also a tool man who controls Fengqing Palace through poison?
Also, otherwise the tool people sent to the palace, the palace of many prosperous, can not guarantee that people will not have disloyalty and ambition.
Shen Shen, Mu Lan did not show these ideas, and soon appeared in the pharmacy of the hospital with Qiqiao, handed over his prescription, the pharmacy people saw the pharmacy quickly accepted, this is used for archiving.
After that, the people in the pharmacy grabbed the medicine and tied it up and handed it to Qiqiao. Mu Lan looked on, but said nothing.
Chi-chiao took the medicine, nodded and thanked her. “Thank you, Doctor Cen. I’ll go back to the Feng-ching Palace first.”
“Then I won’t send more.” Mu Lan nodded.
Qiqiao quickly left. Mulan watched Qiqiao leave and then went back to his own room. Xia He had been waiting for Mulan. When he saw Mulan coming back, Xia He went up to meet him. “Miss, you’re back.”
It was obvious that Xia He was relieved to see Mu Lan. “I just went to feel the empress’ pulse and prescribed some medicine to soothe nerves and invigorate the vital energy. It wasn’t a big deal,” says
Mu Lan calmly.
Xia he nodded, but the twisted eyebrows have not been loosened, but cautiously looked at Mu Lan.
“What’s the matter?” Mu Lan asked Xia He with a smile.
Xia He said directly, “Miss, the maidservant thinks this is a bit unusual.”
“How abnormal?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows.
“Ji has always been the one who went to Fengqing Palace. It’s unlikely that Ji would come to you alone. Even if the empress likes you, you should let Ji take someone with you. You know, you’re not qualified to treat anyone in the Imperial Hospital, let alone the empress.” “That’s why the maidservant is worried. She’s afraid that something has happened to you, and that the Fengqing Palace is making things difficult for you.”
This is also the reason why Xia He has been nervous.
“That’s not true.” Mu Lan was quiet.
Xia He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Mu Lan and quickly told the truth: “Miss, the emperor is good to you, and the most taboo is that you go in and out with the emperor. Even if it doesn’t spread in the palace, more or less someone knows about it, and it must be clear in the Fengqing Palace.”
Mu Lan looked at Xia He and motioned Xia He to go on.
“And after you came, the emperor seldom went to the Fengqing Palace, so the empress made a special trip to ask you to go, and I’m afraid she won’t go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing.” Xia He didn’t say anything.
But Mu Lan did understand.
She smiled and reassured Xia He. “Don’t worry, I’ll be all right.”
Xia he nodded, also did not say anything, Mu Lan let Xia he go to rest, and then she went into the wing alone, today’s things smoothly again, the surface is also very calm. In the dead of
night, there is really nothing to say, and everything will have to wait until tomorrow.
…… For the
next two days,
the palace was peaceful, because the Hungry Ghost Festival was approaching, and the palace was much busier. Every slave was in a hurry, but the quietest place turned into a hospital. The people in the
Imperial Hospital have their own responsibilities, as if the excitement in the palace had nothing to do with the Imperial Hospital.
Mu Lan finished turning over the medical book in her hand, and had already marked the things that should be marked. She stood up, took out the medical book and the notes that she had marked, and walked out of the wing, ready to give these things to Ji.
As a result, when Mu Lan arrived, he found that Ji was not there, which made Mu Lan a little surprised. The palace has been calm
recently, and most of her time has been spent presiding over the writing of these medical books. The sudden absence of this person really makes people feel a little surprised.
And the medical women in the hospital also seem to be in a hurry, as if in a special hurry, which has not been found in the recent period of time. “What happened?”
Mu Lan asked one of the doctors curiously. “Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something wrong in the palace?” When the
doctor girl was stopped, she didn’t hide anything: “The empress has had an accident, and the emperor has already arrived at the Fengqing Palace. All the people from the Imperial Hospital are on their way to the Fengqing Palace.”
Mu Lan twisted her eyebrows. “What happened to the Empress?”
Can let too the people of the hospital follow to move, obviously is not a small thing, otherwise, also won’t be so hurried.
“The empress keeps vomiting blood, as if she can’t stop it. How much blood can this person have? It’s definitely not going to work like this.” “I won’t talk to you. I’m going to Fengqing Palace now, too.”
Then the doctor left in a hurry.
Mu Lan stood where he was, thoughtfully. Two days
ago, Mu Lan also saw the one in Fengqing Palace. It was absolutely impossible for the situation to be like this now. At that time, the pulse condition could not be as abnormal as it is now. Even if she had been poisoned, it was by no means so.
So what’s the situation.
Mu Lan sank, but calm, quiet toward the position of their own wing, and back to the palace these two days, because of the busy palace, she did not see Mu Zhanxiao and Li Shiyu.
Even false Mu Lan this matter, Mu Lan has no time to mention with these two people.
And now, it happened unexpectedly.
Intuitively, Mu Lan felt that this matter was directed at himself, but under such circumstances, Mu Lan could only keep quiet and stop.
……
Mu Lan returned to his own wing and not long time, suddenly the door of the wing was directly knocked open, this time, Mu Lan looked at the guard who knocked open the door, his face sank.
The bodyguard was so a look, but some are not calm, and Mu Lan also recognized, this is the Fengqing Palace bodyguard, she quickly thought of the situation asked in the hospital before, obviously, this matter is directed at themselves.
“Guys, what can I do for you?” Mu Lan’s attitude is very calm.
Summer lotus obviously frightened, so stunned looking at the situation in the wing, completely no response, and Mu Lan did not trace a look at summer lotus, like to appease summer lotus, also like to let summer lotus to inform Mu Zhanxiao. Not daring to hesitate,
Xia He immediately turned around and hurried out of the wing.
As a result, not long after she left, she was stopped by her bodyguard: “The empress has decreed that no one here is allowed to leave. Let’s go to the Fengqing Palace together.” The implication is
that it will not give Xia He any chance to tip off. What
is the situation? What crime have I committed to make the Empress so angry? Mu Lan is still calm.
Xia he was stopped, involuntarily shivering, after all, Xia he is just a little girl, when seen such a situation, has long been scared out of his wits.
On the contrary, Mu Lan could not be more calm. As
the bodyguard listened to Mu Lan’s question, he sneered, “You cheap maidservant, how dare you, just a little doctor girl, dare to poison the empress. This is a capital crime. The empress wants you to go and ask questions.”
Mu Lan had already understood in the words of the bodyguard.
That day, I went to Fengqing Palace to feel the pulse of the queen. It was just a prelude. It was for the second floor today. If ordinary people heard such news, they would have panicked. But Mu Lan was not an ordinary person. Besides, it had always been in the grasp of Mu Lan, so Mu Lan seemed very calm.
Xia he listens to this word, the face of shock is all pale, instantly so looked to Mu Lan, as if can’t believe what he heard.
Mu Lan’s eyes soothed Xia He for a moment. Then he looked at the guards and said, “I’ll go with you to the Fengqing Palace.”
The bodyguard did not want to pull Mu Lan, Mu Lan’s arm was pulled some raw pain, but in such brute force, Mu Lan completely unable to resist, just so twisted eyebrows, quietly looking at the bodyguard. Pull down
like this, afraid is to Fengqing Palace, his arm can be scrapped, after all, now Mu Lan is not that year, just a person without the strength of a chicken, can not be compared with the previous Mu Lan.
The sentence has to wait for a conclusion before it can be passed. You dragged me to Fengqing Palace like this, didn’t you treat me as a prisoner? If the result comes out and I have nothing to do with it, are you going to bear the charge of murder? Mu Lan asked the bodyguard in front of him coldly.
That attitude is not surprised, even now such a situation, also seems to have not surprised Mu Lan, fell on the bodyguard’s eyes also appear calm. Some of
the guards were frightened, such momentum, not like a medical woman, if ordinary people in the face of such a situation would have panicked, how can they be so calm.
And Mu Lan did not have any retreat, just so indifferent to look at.
Gradually, she can feel the original brute force under the control of the arm, has gradually stretched out, there is no longer any feeling of pain, the whole person followed to relax down.
Mu Lan did not say anything and followed the bodyguard out of the hospital.
When Xia He caught up with him, Mu Lan shook his head. “You just wait for me here. Don’t leave without permission. If someone takes you away, you refuse directly. No matter who this person is, unless it is someone you trust.”. I will bear all the consequences.
Mu Lan is in front of the bodyguard’s face to explain, every word said very clearly.
Xia He nodded hurriedly, but the worry in his eyes was obvious.
“I’ll be fine.” Mu Lan gave Xia He an assurance.
Xia he is still afraid, but under such circumstances, Xia he did not say anything, and finally can only stand so passively, looking at Mu Lan.
Until Mu Lan’s figure disappeared in front of Xia He.
……
In Fengqing Palace, the situation of
false Mulan vomiting blood seems to have never improved. No matter what way the imperial doctor used, the situation has never been stopped. The imperial doctor’s face has become panicked. You know, this is the queen of the court, and also the person on the tip of Li Shiyu’s heart. If something goes wrong, their heads will fall.
Ji Jang Geum felt the pulse carefully, but the pulse condition in her hand was disordered.
Even if those hemostatic drugs fake Mulan swallow down, it is only a moment, will soon begin to vomit blood, this situation has lasted for two days.
“Did the empress start yesterday?” Ji Jang Geum asked carefully.
Fake Mulan is obviously already weak: “Yes.”. My palace felt a little uncomfortable before dawn yesterday, but I didn’t feel it at that time. I just thought I was tired, and my body was the same before my palace.
That’s about the situation of Mu Lan in those years. It’s really like this. When you are a little tired, you will cough and vomit blood. It’s easy to have an accident.
Ji Jang Geum that year also showed Mu Lan, naturally remember, but very clearly remember, at that time Mu Lan’s pulse condition is not so, at that time Mu Lan, pulse condition is weak as if a moment can not catch, and now this false Mu Lan, pulse condition is like a normal person, no doubt, and nothing unusual, is not that kind of situation.
Since it is not, why can such a situation occur?
Ji Jang Geum sank and twisted his brows.
“Has the queen eaten anything these two days?” Ji Jang Geum asked again.
Fake Mulan shook his head and said, “I’m not feeling well, and I don’t have a good appetite. I didn’t eat or drink anything except a little clear porridge.”. These are sent Imperial Kitchen, and every time the slaves have tested the poison on the silver needle, there must be no problem. What’s more, I didn’t finish what I sent Imperial Kitchen, so I gave it to the slaves below, and they were fine.
Ji Jang Geum listened carefully.
Suddenly the false Mulan seemed to remember something: “But the day before yesterday, I wasn’t feeling well, so I asked Little Cen to come and show me. I thought it was just ordinary fatigue, so I didn’t disturb the people at the hospital. In addition, I liked Little Cen, so I asked the slave to call Little Cen to have a look.”
Ji Jang Geum heard false Mu Lan suddenly mentioned small Cen, this eyebrow followed twisted up.
As if all of a sudden also understand what, but in such circumstances, Ji Jang Geum did not say anything, just listen quietly, and then she calmly looked at the false Mulan.
“What does the Empress mean?” Ji Jang Geum did not go on, but waited for the false Mulan to go on.
“Little Cen gave me a prescription to calm my nerves, and then Chi-chiao followed Little Cen to the Imperial Palace Hospital to get the medicine. Naturally, I didn’t think much about it. It seems that the day after I took Little Cen’s prescription, I began to vomit blood, and it has been until now.”
Said false Mu Lan and lightly coughed a few times, that massive hematemesis situation also followed, the mattress was made into a scarlet, the people who saw it were shocking. The people
in Fengqing Palace are even more insecure.
You should know that if something happens to Fengqing Palace, the emperor will not let it go.
“So the empress thinks it was little Cen?” Ji Jang Geum asked.
This time, false Mu Lan did not speak, Ji Jang Geum did not ask much, and then looked at the false Mu Lan’s eyes more than a deep meaning, but Ji Jang Geum also hid very well.
False Mu Lan may not know, Ji Jang Geum may never ask, but it does not mean that Ji Jang Geum does not understand what happened in the hospital.
Li Shiyu frequently in and out of the hospital, but also very low-key, go to the place is small Cen’s wing.
Lotus incense is Mu Zhanxiao personally arranged in the small Cen side to serve small Cen, even Mu Zhanxiao did not shy away from and his own account, although did not explain the identity of small Cen, but Ji Jang Geum is very clear, too the hospital of this small Cen is by no means an ordinary person. Under
such circumstances, I am afraid that the Fengqing Palace has also been aware of this, but the Fengqing Palace to move Xiao Cen, I am afraid it is not so easy.
Ji Jang Geum’s mind always has a bold idea, but she did not say, also dare not say, always feel too strange, but think about what happened to Mu Lan, suddenly she felt such an idea, as if not so strange.
Sink, Ji Jang Geum also gradually calm down.
Now a lot of things, is not Ji Jang Geum can control, everything can only wait and see what happens.
“The palace has sent someone to summon Cen.” “If someone in the palace frames this palace, this palace will not forgive lightly,” said the false Mu Lan. Before
Ji Chang could speak, the eunuch outside suddenly shouted, “Your Majesty is here.”
At this moment, all the slaves of the Fengqing Palace knelt down and paid their respects in unison: “See the emperor, slaves! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!”
Li Shiyu has hurried in, look condensation, quickly walked to the edge of the fake Mulan, the whole person looks very anxious.
“Why is the queen in such a situation?” Li Shiyu asked in a harsh voice. Asked
by Li Shiyu, the slaves around him dared not breathe, so they knelt down, and everyone’s face looked much more pale.
On the contrary, it was the false Mu Lan who appeased Li Shiyu: “My concubine is very good. It’s my concubine that worries the emperor.”
And Li Shiyu did not walk toward the false Mu Lan, but looked at Ji Jang Geum, Ji Jang Geum in Li Shiyu looked at the moment did not hesitate, before the words intact told Li Shiyu. As the
voice fell, Ji Jang Geum observed Li Shiyu’s reaction out of the corner of his eye.
Li Shiyu looks angry on the surface, but Ji Jang Geum is very clear that such anger is just a disguise, referring to the matter of Xiao Cen, Li Shiyu seems to be very calm, and did not take this matter to heart.
Even Ji Jang Geum boldly thought that even if this matter was really done by Xiao Cen, even if Li Shiyu would not pursue it, unless there was conclusive evidence, otherwise, the matter would not be settled.
This little Cen —
“So the queen thinks it was little Cen who poisoned her?” Li Shiyu looked at the fake Mulan.
Fake Mulan feels aggrieved: “This is just my guess.”
Did not say anything, also did not insist, as if want to let Li Shiyu to make decisions for himself, and Li Shiyu just twisted eyebrows to listen, quietly looking at the fake Mulan.
Fake Mu Lan felt a little guilty when Li Shiyu looked at her like this, but she still looked at Li Shiyu seriously: “My concubine has asked someone to summon Xiao Cen to come. Will you know as soon as you ask?”
“Does the queen have any proof?” Li Shiyu is still not impatient to ask the false Mu Lan.
Fake Mulan quieted down and looked at Li Shiyu. Instead of answering Li Shiyu’s question for the first time, he asked, “Does the emperor seem to be paying extra attention to this little Cen?”
Want to know, these words, do not need false Mu Lan to say at all, as long as it is false Mu Lan to identify things, then Li Shiyu will be the first time to deal with.
Fake Mulan came back this year, a lot of things are like this, as long as the fake Mulan opened his mouth, Li Shiyu let people do it safely, rather than now, is already such a situation, Li Shiyu is still and fake Mulan said evidence.
Li Shiyu looked at the fake Mulan with a half-smile. His tone seemed to be coaxing the fake Mulan, but he also seemed to have a hint of warning: “As a country, the empress should be very clear that what she says should convince the public. If the empress tells me this in private, I will deal with it. But now the Fengqing Palace is full of people inside and outside.” If there were no evidence, wouldn’t it be the queen’s reckless disregard for human life, and I would end up guilty of connivance? The
fake Mu Lan could not say a word, and finally he could only look at Li Shiyu so passively.
But soon, the fake Mulan calmed down.
Has not had time to open his mouth, Mu Lan has been brought in by the bodyguard, and Li Shiyu looked at the past, but not deliberately.
The bodyguard then released Mulan, who knelt down and paid his respects. “See the emperor, the empress. Long live the emperor, long live the empress.”
“Get up.” Li Shiyu brushed his sleeves.
Fake Mulan’s face changed again.
Now Mu Lan is the biggest suspect, and Li Shiyu actually let Mu Lan so up, this is clearly partial, besides, even if there is no evidence, Mu Lan is also the biggest suspect, how can this time let the suspect get up, how many slaves kneeling on the ground, and this matter has nothing to do with the slaves.
Instead, Mu Lan lightly refused: “The maidservant thanks the emperor for his kindness.”. But the maidservant is a suspect now, so it’s better to kneel down, so as not to give people a handle before the matter is clarified.
Li Shiyu’s eyebrows twisted, so he looked at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan is confident, as if the matter in front of him had long been expected by Mu Lan, Li Shiyu knew too much about Mu Lan, a reaction of Mu Lan, Li Shiyu knew clearly, thinking of the perfunctory before Mu Lan, Li Shiyu sank, did not say anything.
But looking at Mu Lan’s eyes is not approval.
Mu Lan directly ignored Li Shiyu’s eyes.
Instead, the false Mulan said angrily, “All right, the emperor is right. This matter should be investigated, otherwise, it will not be said that the palace misunderstood you.”
Mu Lan kneels like this, as if looking at the fake Mu Lan can play any tricks, but Mu Lan’s face does not have any panic, magnanimous. The air in the
bedroom stagnated, and everyone dared not breathe.
“Ji Yi Nu.” Fake Mu Lan called Ji Jang Geum.
Ji Chang-jin looked over and said, “If the Empress has something to say, just tell her, and I will do my best.”
“Good.” Fake Mulan nodded, and his eyes darkened a little. “I remember, but all the prescriptions that come out of the Imperial Hospital must be kept in the pharmacy of the Imperial Hospital to avoid any mistakes and no evidence, right?”.
“Yes.” Ji Jang Geum answered.
This is indeed the rule of the hospital.
It is also a way to avoid getting the hospital into disputes in the palace. Although it is not omnipotent, it can really avoid a lot of trouble. Otherwise, the first place to look for trouble in the palace is the hospital. If
the hospital can not give a reasonable explanation, then the whole hospital will be held accountable from top to bottom, not to mention the identity of Mu Lan.
Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, the hospital has had such a tradition since the second emperor of Dazhou, and this tradition has continued.
“I was poisoned, and everyone knows that. I tested the food that was sent to me Imperial Kitchen, and the slaves in the palace also ate it. Everyone is safe and sound. So it’s only the prescription that Xiao Cen prescribed that is wrong. If you find the previous prescription, you will know.” The logic of the
fake Mulan is particularly clear: “Before, it was Chi-chiao, the maid of this palace, who went to the Imperial Hospital with Little Cen. Chi-chiao saw everything that happened during this period clearly, and the people in the pharmacy of the Imperial Hospital also saw it clearly. So during this period, there should be no possibility of stealing beams and changing pillars.”
Anyway, whether it is dead or alive, black or white, false Mu Lan said clearly.
“This is one way.” Ji Jang Geum nodded.
Then she looked at Li Shiyu and said, “Your Majesty, why don’t you follow the advice of the empress? This list is only available at the Imperial Hospital. I’ll have someone take the list and see what Xiao Cen’s prescription was at that time. It’s clear at a glance.”
The prescription is the evidence.
Li Shi-yu hummed: “Let’s do it.”
And even so, Mu Lan is still calm, as if these things have nothing to do with themselves in general, just so quiet kneeling, as if the prescription is particularly confident.
Fake Mulan took a look and sneered.
Qiqiao took the order, and in order to avoid the people of Fengqing Palace, the person who followed Qiqiao was Cheng Dezhu on the side of Li Shiyu. When they left, Fengqing Palace was still quiet.
The only voice is the voice of false Mu Lan vomiting blood, how can not stop the appearance, the whole person looks even more weak and incomparable.
On the contrary, Li Shiyu suddenly said, “I remember that Lan’er has been a doctor since she was a primary school doctor, and she also learned from the emperor’s uncle. The skill of the imperial physician in the palace is not necessarily better than that of Lan’er. In the past, if there was a minor problem, Lan’er could handle it by herself. Why did she let a little doctor girl come to see her this time?”.
Fake Mu Lan was stunned by the question and couldn’t answer Li Shiyu’s question for a while, but he reluctantly answered: “I haven’t thought so much about it. Over the past year, I’ve been used to having people from the Imperial Hospital come to see me, so I haven’t felt my pulse carefully.”
This reason is also reasonable.
But Li Shiyu didn’t mean to let Mu Lan go. “That’s true, but Lan’er was too careless. I remember that if you were sick, even if it was a prescription from the hospital, you would look at it, because you said that no matter who it was, it was better to know your own physical condition.”
Fake Mu Lan was stunned.
“Perhaps Lan’er’s previous curse has already hurt the root of her body. If not, Lan’er herself is an excellent pool of poison, and is useless to all the poisons in the world.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly and finished his words.
The eyes looked sharply at the fake Mulan, the fake Mulan has been really scared, she did this thing, is completely unexpected.
Suddenly false Mu Lan understood why his master told him not to make decisions without authorization, not to make decisions without authorization, because Li Shiyu was not an ordinary person at all, and the problems he could see were far beyond his understanding.
These are false Mu Lan will never think of, even if the usual involves false Mu Lan do not understand things, she will be vague, not to mention the original Mu Lan has skills.
Her medical skills, is only fur, is used to deal with, and her body is naturally not Mu Lan’s body can not be a poison pool, so naturally it is impossible for the world’s poison, otherwise, why should she be subject to others.
As a result, now, these questions are used by Li Shiyu to ask himself, which makes the fake Mulan can not answer at all.
But under such circumstances, the false Mulan had to face it. Finally, she coughed lightly: “My concubine’s body function has probably been damaged over the years, so it has long been different from before.”
Li Shiyu hum, but did not say anything. The atmosphere
in Fengqing Palace is even more strange.
And Ji Jang Geum listened to Li Shiyu’s words, the guess in her heart became more and more obvious, she looked at Li Shiyu without any trace, Li Shiyu also noticed, just took a look, and then took back his line of sight, as if nothing had happened.
Ji Jang Geum noticed that Mu Zhanxiao did not come from beginning to end. Big week people are very clear that Mu Zhanxiao is Mu Lan’s second brother, and the feelings between Mu Lan are very good, if Mu Lan has an accident, there is no reason Mu Zhanxiao did not come, and now Mu Zhanxiao really did not appear again.
Ji Jang Geum didn’t say anything more.
Soon, the people in his hospital came back with the original prescription in person, and Cheng Dezhu followed them all the way.
“Your Majesty, the slave has come back with his men, and he has also brought back the list of the prescription, and no one has done anything to tamper with it.” Cheng Dezhu explained.
“Good.” Li Shiyu answered.
Prescription has been taken to Ji Jang Geum, Ji Jang Geum originally also want to go to this prescription, there is a prescription to know what medicine Mu Lan under, if it is really poisoning, also know what kind of poison, can be the right medicine.
Ji Jang Geum looked at Fang Zi. The medicine on the
prescription is just ordinary health medicine, even ordinary people eat it without any abnormalities, but soon, Ji Jang Geum’s eyes sank-
she swept the second time, but found abnormalities in the number of grams.
Many seemingly common drugs, together, can become deadly poisons, some grams of weight, can cover their own meaning, become harmful things. The number of grams of the two medicines on
this prescription is not right, and the last one looks nothing special, but when combined with the excessive medicine, it will indeed cause people to vomit blood.
“What’s going on?” When Li Shiyu saw Ji Jang Geum twisting his eyebrows, he opened his mouth and asked.
But Ji Jang Geum this appearance, but let the false Mu Lan appear more and more calm up, the smile on the face followed the obvious up, looking at Mu Lan, is up to no good.
This feeling is conclusive, no one can protect Mu Lan.
Mu Lan is also very calm, and not because of Ji Jang Geum twist eyebrows and panic, because she is very clear, now can be sent here is afraid of the prescription has long been a problem, besides, this proof or false Mu Lan came up with, also prove that false Mu Lan has long been prepared, if not, how can so calm.
And Ji Jang Geum’s voice came slowly: “Your Majesty, I will explain to you later.”
Li Shiyu is not in a hurry.
Ji Jang Geum looked at the assistant on one side and said, “Take the medicine for the empress according to my prescription, and immediately decoct it and bring it to the empress.”
“But there are results?” Fake Mulan asked anxiously.
“Yes.” Ji Chang-jin nodded. “I’ve already had someone refill the medicine for the empress. If she takes it, she won’t vomit blood any more.”
“Is this someone setting up this palace?” False Mu Lan’s voice followed loudly, and he would not stop until he reached his goal.
Ji Jang Geum did not follow the fake Mu Lan’s words, but calmly took out the prescription: “There is no problem with this prescription on the surface, but the problem is the number of grams of these two ingredients and the last medicine.”. Normally, those who nourish Qi and blood do not prescribe the last one, but when these three medicines are mixed together, they cause the empress to vomit blood.
Ji Jang Geum did not lie, truthfully said the situation, Ji Jang Geum’s notarization in the palace is also famous, so people and people in the palace can not let Ji Jang Geum stand in line, Ji Jang Geum today’s status, there is no need to stand in line, because Li Shiyu’s most trusted person, nothing is more than Ji Jang Geum.
This words, on the surface is already sentenced to the death of Mu Lan, Mu Lan if you want to resist, you must find evidence in their favor.
But when the false Mu Lan heard this, his attitude suddenly became arrogant: “What a bold slave! This palace is good to you, but you have done something to this palace. Has this palace done anything wrong to you?”? Or do you have an idea that you shouldn’t have?
Fake Mulan didn’t give Mulan any chance to defend himself, and then he looked at Li Shiyu with a pitiful expression: “Your Majesty, now that the truth has come out, you can’t keep such a person. Please ask the emperor to make decisions for my concubines.”
That attitude is extremely aggrieved.
And Li Shiyu looked at the fake Mu Lan so heavily, and did not take the initiative to open his mouth, the eyes fell on the fake Mu Lan, but also with a trace of exploration.
This kind of Li Shiyu lets the false Mu Lan be more and more elusive, that kind of feeling of panic and uneasiness, also follows more and more obvious.
“Your Majesty.” Fake Mu Lan carefully and Jiao Chen called out, said, she also coughed a few times, so vomited blood.
And Mu Lan always kneels magnanimously, and has not compromised because of such a situation.
Until Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan: “What do you have to say in front of the evidence?”
Mu Lan is calm: “Can maidservant look at that prescription?”
“Give her.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth.
Ji Jang Geum calmly handed the prescription to Mu Lan, and when the fake Mu Lan saw this, he was surprised: “Your Majesty, what if it was torn?”
Li Shiyu looked at it and felt that the fake Mulan had asked a brainless question.
Even Ji Changjin twisted his eyebrows and calmly said, “There’s no need to worry, Empress. I’ve already seen the prescription above. In my mind, even if it’s torn, I’ll remember it.”
Fake Mulan did not speak, but also knew that he was impulsive.
This matter seems to be in the direction of their own expectations, but there are some inadvertent places, completely beyond the control of false Mulan, can not say, always feel that this matter will completely change the current situation.
She didn’t know whether she should continue.
But Mu Lan took the prescription calmly, and when he took the prescription, Mu Lan understood it at a glance.
The prescription has been tampered with.
The last medicine was imitated according to his own notes, but it was just an imitation, and please do it exactly the same.
Mu Lan is calm, the people around also so look at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan then handed the prescription back slowly, Ji Jang Geum took a deep look at Mu Lan, but did not open his mouth to say anything, in the eyes of rice vinegar, Ji Jang Geum is clear, this matter is not so easy to be good.
“Your Majesty, Empress, the prescription prescribed by the maidservant has been changed.” Mu Lan spoke calmly.
Li Shiyu did not speak, just looked at Mu Lan, Mu Lan always did not change color, and false Mu Lan could not believe what he heard, almost instantly angry, the eyes with a trace of full and sharp.
“Are you saying that this palace has done something?” Fake Mulan asked sharply about Mulan kneeling on the ground.
Mu Lan did not shy away from the fake Mu Lan’s eyes, but calmly said, “Empress, the maidservant never meant this. This prescription was given by the maidservant and Qiqiao in person at the Imperial Hospital. The Empress never used it, so naturally it couldn’t have been done by the Empress.”
“If you say that, there is something wrong with the hospital.” Fake Mulan sneered, “It’s obvious to me that you’ve planted evidence in the palace. The rules of the hospital are very strict. Who in the palace doesn’t know?”
“The rules in the palace are just as strict, but there are still not a few people who are not afraid of death, are they not?” Mu Lan answered with a half-smile.
Fake Mulan’s face changed.
Ji Jang Geum had already spoken on his own initiative: “Little Cen, if you don’t have evidence, you can’t say that casually.”
This also does not appear to be fierce words, just a faint reminder of Mu Lan.
“Do you have any proof of your innocence?” Only then did Li Shiyu open his mouth.
Mu Lan smiled, but his eyes fell on the fake Mu Lan: “Of course there are slaves.”. Otherwise you wouldn’t be able to speak so openly here.
In a word, let the people of Fengqing Palace surprised, and false Mulan’s face slightly changed, do not know what kind of evidence the people in front of her can produce, this matter she did seamlessly, how can there be a mistake?
Mu Lan looks at the face of false Mu Lan, know the other side is flustered.
You know, when Mu Lan began to play mind, the people in front of him were afraid that they did not understand anything, even if they fake Mu Lan’s identity, they could not fake Mu Lan’s brain.
Mulan did not say much, but calmly took a piece of paper from his hidden sleeve: “This is the evidence.”
Ji Jang Geum looked over.
Mu Lan’s hand is also a prescription.
Mu Lan, however, was not impatient and went on to say, “This was specially described by the maidservant at that time. The paper that the maidservant brought to the Fengqing Palace that day could be copied directly. The maidservant also knew the rules of the Imperial Hospital, but after all, it was the first time for the maidservant to see a doctor in the palace, so he carefully reserved one. If there was any situation, The maidservant can immediately know what medicine she has prescribed.
The prescription was put in front of Ji Jang Geum, and the fake Mu Lan had no idea that Mu Lan had done such a thing, and the shock on his face was obvious.
“It just didn’t occur to me that the list that the maidservant had left for herself for fear that she would forget it in the future would turn out to be evidence.” Mu Lan smiled and looked at the fake Mu Lan’s eyes a little deeper.
It was an open provocation.
This word, let the people present are shocked, obviously can not believe that Mu Lan actually left such a hand, it is no wonder that when hearing such words, but appears calm and calm.
Ji Jang Geum can not help but look at Mu Lan, false Mu Lan’s face changed, but the surface is still very calm, but for the present situation, she is also shocked, is really unexpected. Only
Li Shiyu, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, eyebrows and eyes with a faint smile, and indeed, only Mu Lan has such deliberation, will not put himself in danger.
Want to know, in this deep palace, Mu Lan is almost stepping on the blood step by step, how can let a person calculate to own head.
But Li Shiyu’s surface is calm.
But the fake Mulan quickly came to his senses: “You said it was left at that time. Why didn’t you say it was written when you went back? Who can prove that it was left by you at that time?”
“Of course.” Mu Lan laughed again. “Just put two pieces of paper together and you’ll know.”. If the maidservant took it away and then wrote it, then even if the handwriting could be exactly the same, it could not be exactly the same again.
This is a simple and understandable truth.
Ji Jang Geum quickly came to his senses, took the paper in Mu Lan’s hand, so it coincided with the paper in front of him, such an action, but also let the people in the bedroom hold their breath, everyone wants to know whether all this is as Mu Lan said.
It was only after a careful comparison that Ji Chang-jin said lightly, “Your Majesty, the empress, it’s true. The two prescriptions fit perfectly. Except for the fact that the number of grams left in the pharmacy of the Imperial Hospital is different from that of the last medicine, there is no difference in the rest.”
The voice fell, Ji Jang Geum also did not hide, but put the overlapping two pieces of paper in front of everyone, everyone is shocked.
Mu Lan is still kneeling, but the surface is always calm, so calm looking at the false Mu Lan, false Mu Lan so clenched the palm of the hand, looking at the note in front of him, is the slightest do not believe that this matter was so Mu Lan to toss the past.
As if their elaborate layout, in front of Mu Lan is almost vulnerable.
But now the focus is not these, false Mu Lan’s face slightly changed, the kind of panic followed by obvious up, but the whole Li Shiyu did not say a word, the eyes fell on Mu Lan’s body also did not move.
“Your Majesty, if the maidservant speaks like this, can she prove her innocence?” Mu Lan took the initiative to look at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu read the meaning of Mu Lan’s words in Mu Lan’s eyes, Li Shiyu’s eyebrows twisted up, somewhat puzzling, but in the insistence of Mu Lan’s eyes, Li Shiyu compromised.
Because Mu Lan’s eyes clearly told Li Shiyu, this matter is so far, do not go into it, as for the reason, Li Shiyu will not be able to guess for a while and a half, always feel that Mu Lan is a person who will be eradicated, not a person who will leave the enemy behind.
But Li Shiyu still did what Mu Lan asked: “The person that Ji Yi-nu brought with her is really smart.”. It’s true that a person’s handwriting can be the same, but no one can write it exactly the same twice, but these two prescriptions are clearly the same, and they can only be written down at that time. As soon as
Li Shiyu’s words came out of his mouth, others already understood that this Mu Lan was innocent.
Now everyone looked at the fake Mulan subconsciously. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if Mu Lan is innocent in this matter, then the false Mu Lan must be involved in it. Otherwise, how can everything be just right? In this palace, who dares to do this to the false Mu Lan? Everyone knows the status of the Fengqing Palace in Li Shiyu’s heart, and the concubines in the palace have long been law-abiding.
Other people, there is no need to start on the false Mulan, everyone’s interests are not the same, for the false Mulan also does not have any threat.
Fake Mu Lan also became unusually uncalm. At the moment when Li Shiyu looked over, she immediately opened her mouth: “Your Majesty, this matter is my concubine.”
But as soon as Fake Mu Lan opened her mouth to speak, she was interrupted by Li Shiyu: “Empress, this matter is over. No matter what the situation is, I don’t want to pursue it any more. As the Hungry Ghost Festival is approaching, such a thing should not happen in the palace. Now that found willing, Ji cure female also certainly can cure the queen’s disease. After the Hungry Ghost Festival, I’ll take care of other things.
False Mu Lan listens to Li Shiyu’s words, do not know is relieved or how.
She wanted to frame Mu Lan, but also did not expect Mu Lan to get away smoothly, this matter she was afraid to implicate themselves, but Li Shiyu did not care about this matter, because of their identity? Or Li Shiyu knew that he had done it.
Fake Mulan can’t calm down, but under such circumstances, she can’t say much. In the end, she can only compromise: “I know.”
Li Shiyu hum: “You also break up.”. Leave the girl to consult the empress.
“Yes, please retire, slave.” A group of people answered in unison.
Mu Lan also stood up to do outside the Fengqing Palace, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan out of the corner of his eye until Mu Lan’s figure walked out of the Fengqing Palace, and then he took his eyes back lightly, still without any trace.
Ji Chang-jin had already confirmed the condition of the fake Mulan. He lowered his head and quickly wrote a prescription. Then he said, “Empress, I’ll take the medicine for you.”
“There is Lao Ji, the doctor’s daughter.” Fake Mu Lan nodded his head.
Ji Jang Geum had already stood up and walked quietly outside the Fengqing Palace. Soon, only Li Shiyu and the fake Mulan were left in the bedroom.
If in the past, false Mu Lan will inevitably be angry with Li Shiyu, but now, false Mu Lan’s heart is only panic, do not know what Li Shiyu will do to himself.
Because of Li Shiyu’s eyes, let the false Mu Lan look more and more not calm up, that eyes are too deep, as if they have seen through their own, know their every move.
It was a guilty conscience, an indescribable guilty conscience.
Under such circumstances, the false Mulan muttered to himself, “Your Majesty,”
“I hope that what happened today will not happen again. Do you understand what I mean?” Li Shiyu bowed his head and approached the fake Mulan, but there was a faint warning in his eyebrows and eyes. “Laner has always been a beacon in my heart, and has never brought me any trouble.”
False Mu Lan can not hear the meaning of Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu is to behave himself, if such a thing happens again, he will never tolerate.
You should have a pretty good idea of what’s going on. After all, my Lan’er is such a clever man. But I have given you absolute leeway not to pursue this matter. Li Shiyu’s voice was still low. “So I don’t want to see this kind of thing again.” As
Li Shiyu’s voice fell, the false Mu Lan answered with a stammer: “I..” My concubine knows.
“Very good.” Li Shiyu answered, “The empress should rest more.”. I will come to see the queen later. With
that, Li Shiyu did not hesitate to walk out of his bedroom. Fake Mulan looked at Li Shiyu’s back and gnashed his teeth: “I see you off to the emperor.”
And in Li Shiyu’s words, false Mu Lan has also been aware of, Li Shiyu with Lan son, this Lan son has long been referring to is not their own, but when said the queen, refers to their own, Li Shiyu’s heart is clear.
He knew that he should calm down and not cause any more waves at such a time, but he couldn’t control himself. Looking at the figure of Li Shiyu leaving, he suddenly opened his mouth like this: “Your Majesty.”
Li Shiyu stopped and turned to look at the fake Mulan. “Does the empress have anything else to say to me?”
“I have something to ask the emperor.” Fake Mu Lan’s eyes did not leave, but slightly changed.
“Ask.” Li Shiyu is concise and comprehensive.
Fake Mulan pondered for a moment before saying, “Does the emperor like that little doctor girl?”
This made Li Shiyu raise his eyebrows, and only then did he open his mouth lightly: “The empress is oversensitive. There’s no need to think too much. What the empress has to do now is to take good care of her body. After all, the Hungry Ghost Festival is coming, and the Great Zhou Dynasty can’t be without emperors and empresses.”
This sounds like a denial, but in the false Mu Lan’s view, it seems that Li Shiyu does not want to talk to himself about this medical woman, in this case, the false Mu Lan is not good to ask again.
But her attitude has not changed: I think that if the emperor has someone he likes, he doesn’t need to worry about his concubines. He can set up a concubine. After all, since ancient times, the emperor’s harem has three thousand beauties. For the sake of his courtiers and concubines, the emperor almost dismissed the harem, leaving the concubines in the palace who had never received any more favors. Such words were not good for Dazhou, so- “
The rest of the words, the false Mu Lan did not say, hesitated to speak, as if he had made a major decision, but he was somewhat unwilling.”.
But Li Shiyu looked at the fake Mulan with a half-smile and said, “Does the empress want me to make a concubine?”
Fake Mulan was stiffened by the question for a moment, but gritted his teeth and answered, “Yes.”
Thinking that Li Shiyu would take advantage of the situation to issue a decree, the fake Mulan was surprised, because Li Shiyu just smiled and looked at the fake Mulan calmly: “I will not make a concubine, I will only have a queen around me.”
This looks affectionate, like a confession to the false Mulan, really pleased the false Mulan’s mind, think about today’s things, Li Shiyu’s wisdom and wisdom, it is impossible not to know that this matter is their own, but Li Shiyu in the truth, and did not go into it, it is enough to prove his position.
But Li Shiyu is very clear, his words are not said to the family in front of him, but to Mu Lan.
Because his side, there is really only one Mu Lan, and there will be no other woman.
Both of them have their own ideas.
Li Shiyu voice fell, appeased a few false Mu Lan, but also did not stay in the Fengqing Palace, quickly left, false Mu Lan in Li Shiyu left, the eyebrows gradually cold down.
Chi-chiao, who was watching with trepidation, immediately knelt down and said, “Empress, the maidservant was watching with her own eyes, but I never thought that little Cen would still have such a hand.”
Really did not think of, not to mention Qiqiao, even fake Mu Lan did not think of. Otherwise, today’s things would not have evolved to the present situation.
Fake Mulan’s eyebrows and eyes grew colder and colder. “This doctor girl can’t stay.”
Qiqiao looked at the fake Mulan with a slight tremor and said, “Empress, think twice before you do anything.”
Fake Mulan’s brain has long been blinded by jealousy, where to remember these, in the face of Qiqiao’s reminder, fake Mulan did not take it to heart, that restless mood, but also followed more and more obvious. In the depths of the
eyes, only jealousy and cruelty were left, and in the Fengqing Palace, there was even more silence.
