Contradicting the Emperor’s
Phoenix Nirvana:
Mu Lan was stunned and did not react to Mu Lan’s meaning for a while. When Mu Lan came to her senses, she had been pulled down by Li Shiyu, and Li Shiyu seemed not to care at all about picking up the bowls and chopsticks used by Mu Lan. I ate it directly.
Mu Lan: “… …”
This man..
Such behavior is too intimate, Li Shiyu suddenly did so, Mu Lan’s heart has a feeling of pantothenic acid, such intimacy seems to belong only to himself and Li Shiyu, but now Mu Lan, but not the previous identity.
Li Shiyu did not know his identity.
So Mu Lan seems to be eating their own vinegar, can not say the feeling, sour.
“Your Majesty, this is what I used to use.” Mu Lan reminded Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu’s hand paused for a moment, but he looked at Mu Lan with unusual calmness: “So what?”
In a word, the pressure of Mu Lan can not say.
Li Shiyu, on the other hand, bowed his head and ate quietly, completely calm. Mu Lan in Li Shiyu’s words, but also quiet down.
But Ao Feng said, “Father, if you eat your mother’s food, she will be hungry.”
Ao Feng just doesn’t want to make Li Shiyu feel better.
Li Shiyu glanced at it lightly, but Ao Feng was silent again.
Instead, it was Mu Lan who eased the atmosphere: “Ao Feng, I’m full.”
“You’re lying.” Ao Feng groaned, “You didn’t eat anything at all. Your father ate all your lunch.”
I really don’t give face at all.
Mu Lan sighed silently, but finally he didn’t say anything. He just gently touched Ao Feng’s hair and said, “Be good and eat.” Only then
did Aofeng reluctantly continue to bow his head and eat, while Li Shiyu’s eyes looked at Mu Lan and Aofeng without any trace, until the food in his bowl was finished, Li Shiyu raised his head.
But Mu Lan has already handed over the clean veil for the first time, Li Shiyu carefully wipes himself clean with the veil, Mu Lan then calls down, tidies up the things on the table. Inside the
bedroom, it was still quiet.
These days, Mu Lan and Li Shiyu used to get along alone like this, today more than a proud wind, but also more than a trace of strange.
Ao Feng occupies Mu Lan, but Li Shiyu is not willing to let Ao Feng be satisfied.
“Mother, I want you to sleep with me.” Ao Feng looked at Mu Lan with grievance.
When Mu Lan didn’t answer, Li Shiyu’s voice came sternly: “How old are you? You still need someone to sleep with you. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”
Ao Feng said flatly, “Mother and concubine, please accompany me to the palace.”
“Go by yourself.” Li Shi-yu is not at all polite. “Otherwise, I’ll go back to the East Palace.”
Ao Feng is more aggrieved, Mu Lan’s head hurts, she does not know why she suddenly became a father and son’s fragrant baboon, but in front of Li Shiyu and Ao Feng, Mu Lan is more ashamed of Ao Feng.
“Your Majesty, I will see your Highness to the palace.” Mu Lan had no choice but to open his mouth.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan and said, “My beloved concubine is going to leave me here alone?”
Mu Lan took a deep breath, and then looked at Li Shiyu seriously: “Your Majesty, your Highness is just a child. Since the emperor gave your Highness to my concubine, my concubine accompanied your Highness, and there was no discomfort.”. My concubine just sent your Highness to the bedroom. The bedroom is a little bit away from here, and my concubine will be back soon.
Li Shiyu did not speak.
“What’s more, the emperor and my concubine are doing their own things here, and they don’t interfere with each other, so my concubine’s sending your Highness will not affect the emperor.” Mu Lan patiently reasoned with Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan. “What if I say I want you to stay?”
Mu Lan was stunned.
Ao Feng faintly smelled a different breath, subconsciously grabbing Mu Lan’s sleeve, but motioned Mu Lan not to send himself over again.
As a result, Mu Lan noticed that he felt sorry for Ao Feng’s understanding and was somewhat annoyed with Li Shiyu. It was rare for Mu Lan to be a little strong: Since I promised the prince first, I naturally had to do it. Besides, when it comes to first come, first come, today is the emperor’s first departure, and then your Highness’s request to my concubine, I can’t break my word.
In Mu Lan’s words, Li Shiyu half smiled.
Mu Lan did not say anything, did not even look at Li Shiyuan, soon took Aofeng’s hand, took Aofeng to the back of the bedroom.
Ao Feng didn’t speak.
It was not until Mulan sent Aofeng to his bedroom that Aofeng said, “Mother, you have contradicted the emperor. Will the emperor punish you later?” There was worry
in Ao Feng’s eyes.
Mulan smiled, as if to comfort Aofeng again: “No, don’t think about it. The emperor is not such a person.”
Ao Feng said, obviously not believing, beautiful big eyes are still worried.
“Mother will sleep with you for a while, won’t you?” Mu Lan diverted Ao Feng’s attention.
Ao Feng is happy, after all, is the nature of the child, all of a sudden to forget these things, immediately nodded, is very cooperative toward the bed.
Mu Lan did not leave, in the bedside with Aofeng, telling the story, Aofeng is not a difficult child to sleep, soon fell asleep in the past, Mu Lan then stood up, toward the bedroom outside.
Her head still hurts.
After all, there is another big Buddha in the Deqing Palace, which is very difficult to serve.
As a result, Mu Lan did not expect to see Li Shiyu appear in front of him as soon as he walked out of his bedroom. This made Mu Lan stunned, and soon he was blessed: “I see the emperor, the emperor, how did you come here?”
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan quietly.
“Your Majesty, why are you looking at me? Do you have something to tell me?”
“Concubine Shu, people who don’t know the truth think that the prince is your own.” Suddenly, Li Shiyu threw out such a sentence out of the blue.
Mu Lan’s eyes jumped, but soon recovered as usual, but it is such a slight change, Li Shiyu also see clearly.
“What are you thinking?” Li Shiyu bowed his head and asked Mu Lan.
Mu Lan shook his head. “I’m not thinking about anything.”
Li Shiyu did not know whether to believe or not, suddenly reached out to hook Mu Lan’s chin, half forced Mu Lan to look at himself, Mu Lan was somewhat passive, and Li Shiyu looked very heavy for a long time, looking at Mu Lan eyebrows slightly twisted.
But Li Shiyu’s handsome face suddenly depresses, silently approached Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was stunned and did not escape.
When Li Shiyu’s thin lips were pressed against Mu Lan’s, suddenly Xiaolian hurried in and said, “Your Majesty, Lord Mu..”
Then, Xiaolian’s voice suddenly stopped, as if she had realized what she had interrupted. At this point, Xiaolian was at a loss, not knowing whether to continue or turn away.
But Li Shiyu heard, this Mu adult refers to Mu Zhanxiao.
Mu Zhanxiao and Li Shiyu for many years, but also good friends and friends of life and death, if not important things, Mu Zhanxiao can not appear in the Deqing Palace.
At this point, Li Shiyu let go of Mu Lan slightly, and his voice was calm: “Pass it on.”
Mu Lan did not say anything, followed Li Shiyu behind him and went in.
Mu Zhanxiao quickly walked into the bedroom, saw Mu Lan, Mu Zhanxiao glanced, and did not say anything, but Mu Lan in the eyes of Mu Zhanxiao, saw Mu Zhanxiao’s worries.
“What’s the matter?” Li Shiyu looked at Mu Zhanxiao and asked calmly, “For so many years, I have rarely seen you burning like this.”
“Something important.” Mu Zhanxiao opened his mouth.
Li Shi-yu, on the other hand, said bluntly, “But it doesn’t matter.” The implication
is not to avoid the meaning of Mu Lan, this Mu Zhanxiao some surprised, can not help but look at the Mu Lan.
Such a move in Mu Zhanxiao’s view, is just strange, indeed, Li Shiyu talk about state affairs, will not let a woman on the side, let alone or Mu Lan such an identity.
But today, Li Shiyu stayed.
But Mu Zhanxiao’s idea is different from Li Shiyu’s. He subconsciously thinks that Li Shiyu knows something. The moment he looks at Mu Lan, Mu Lan understands Mu Zhanxiao’s idea. She shakes her head calmly and denies Mu Zhanxiao’s guess.
Mu Zhanxiao is even more inexplicable.
This period of time, Mu Zhanxiao naturally know Li Shiyu frequent access to the Deqing Palace, so Mu Zhanxiao to avoid, as long as Mu Lan is no big obstacle, Mu Zhanxiao did not appear.
The only worry is Mu Lan’s body during this period of time, Xiaolian’s words, but let Mu Zhanxiao take it to heart.
Just Li Shiyu seems to care, Mu Zhanxiao follow at ease.
And now, Mu Lan’s eyes clearly tell him that Li Shiyu doesn’t know her identity. If that’s the case,
“Aiqing?” Li Shiyu saw Mu Zhanxiao in a trance and reminded him.
When Mu Zhanxiao came to his senses, he did not hesitate: “I and General Long followed the trail and found the clue, but the clue came to an abrupt end with the prime minister.”
The prime minister is no longer the prime minister of Qu.
But it is impossible to say that it doesn’t matter, because both the officials in North Korea and China are involved in right and wrong.
Li Shiyu’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Go on.”
We are back to the far point. Cleaning up are some shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals, and the person behind the scenes has never been found. And the minister and the dragon general think, afraid and the people of the former Dynasty does not have much relationship, even if the people who died in those years are really the descendants of the royal family of the former Dynasty, then it is only used. Those with ulterior motives should be in Dazhou.
Mu Zhanxiao made things clear.
Since the former princess’s veil changed into Mu Zhihua, this is the most incredible thing after Li Shiyu ascended the throne, and there is no clue at all.
“We all seem to have been led astray.” Mu Zhanxiao came to the conclusion that Shao Yun was still dealing with this matter today. But the other side’s mouth is very hard, and I’m afraid I can’t pry out any words.
Mu Zhanxiao’s worries are not unreasonable.
Because every time after catching a person, the other side will simply commit suicide, even if torture, the other side will not open their mouths to say a word, such an organization is extremely tight.
So over the years, Mu Zhanxiao and Long Shaoyun felt more and more wrong. It always makes people feel uneasy if they
don’t catch these mothers.
Li Shi-yu listened quietly: “Where are the people?”
“Heaven’s prison.” Mu Zhanxiao said directly. When
Li Shiyu planned to open his mouth, Long Shaoyun had already arrived in a hurry, and when he saw Long Shaoyun appear, Mu Zhanxiao’s heart flashed a sense of uneasiness.
Sure enough, Long Shao-yun opened his mouth and said, “Your Majesty, the man is dead.”
Mu Zhanxiao twisted his eyebrows, and Li Shiyu also twisted his eyebrows. Inside
the Deqing Palace, it is very quiet.
Mu Lan did not speak all the way, as if digesting the news brought by Mu Zhanxiao, which was the first time that Mu Lan listened to these things in front of Li Shiyu after he came back.
Over the years, Mu Zhanxiao actually rarely mentioned these with Mu Lan, even if into the palace, Mu Lan’s identity can not contact these.
But today-
Mu Lan surface is calm, but the brain actually turns quickly. Just then
, Li Shiyu suddenly looked at Mu Lan and said, “What do you think of this?”
In a word, let Mu Zhanxiao and Long Shaoyun colleagues looked at Mu Lan, Mu Lan’s eyes did not look at Mu Zhanxiao, also gently swept Long Shaoyun, soon, Mu Lan politely nodded, and then looked at Li Shiyu, but appeared very calm.
“Your Majesty, I’m just a woman. I don’t know much about these things in the court, so naturally I can’t jump to conclusions.” Mu Lan is neither humble nor pushy.
“When you taught the prince, it didn’t seem like you didn’t know anything.” Li Shi-yu said directly, “If I tell you to say it, you say it.”
“My concubine,” said Mu Lan.
On the contrary, Long Shaoyun unexpectedly broke the silence: “Empress Shufei, since the emperor has asked you to speak, then it is the emperor’s trust in you. Whether you say something wrong or not, the emperor will not blame you.”
And the voice fell, Long Shaoyun looked at Mu Lan, Mu Lan was a little surprised, the memory of Long Shaoyun is not an eventful person, and such a situation, not only Mu Lan surprised, Mu Zhanxiao also some surprise, but Mu Zhanxiao did not show on the surface.
Mu Lan was carried to Liangshan. After a
quiet moment, Mu Lan spoke slowly: “If I say something wrong, please forgive the emperor.”
Li Shiyu gave a hum.
Mu Lan quickly straightened out the matter, and then calmly opened his mouth: “The matter of the former princess is incredible.”. Previously, Mu Zhihua had been skinned and had been lurking around Li Shiyuan. His purpose was for the position of emperor. And behind this face-changer, there must be a mastermind, and this mastermind is the ultimate culprit. The
three men stood and listened quietly.
Mu Lan is also calm: “If Lord Mu and General Long have repeatedly cut off clues, as Lord Mu said, perhaps it has nothing to do with the people of the former Dynasty, not with the people of the heart in Dazhou, or even in the palace.”. When the emperor returned to Kyoto, under such circumstances, smart people would not oppose the emperor, perhaps there were other forces in the dark, but did not expect such a person out of the emperor, the overall plan is chaotic. 「
「……」
“But the one who has been able to dodge Lord Mu and General Long many times must be the one who knows them very well. Why don’t you want to be the one around you?”
Mu Lan dropped a bomb neither salty nor light, but that attitude seemed to be completely irresponsible for what he said.
But Mu Lan’s mind is running fast, as if filtering these candidates.
Just these things, Mu Lan’s first life has not appeared again, plus these years, Mu Lan is not in the palace at all, the situation in the palace, Mu Lan is not clear, so dare not jump to a conclusion.
When Li Shiyu ascended the throne, it was impossible to clear all the former ministers, some of them submitted, and the people who had been following Li Shiyu were not necessarily 100% reliable, after all, the former princesses could change their names and hide for many years. Since ancient times, the throne of the
emperor has been the highest desire of human beings.
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and eyes.
This made Long Shaoyun and Mu Zhanxiao look at each other and quiet for a moment, while Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan very lightly: “Who do you think it will be?”
“I don’t know.” Mu Lan is not stupid, this is also true.
But even if Mu Lan knew, Mu Lan could not say it in public at this time, it would only cause trouble for himself.
She can do her duty to remind Mu Zhanxiao, instead of saying it face to face.
Li Shiyu hum, but did not say anything, that low under the eyebrows and eyes is hidden deep meaning, but it is such an attitude, let Mu Lan look a congealed, can not say the feeling, the brain in the constant filter before what he said.
But Mu Lan never thought there was anything wrong, and eventually, Mu Lan was forced to calm himself down.
But Li Shiyu is calm in Mu Lan’s words.
Instead, Long Shaoyun looked at Mu Lan with a deep glance, but soon, Long Shaoyun took back his line of sight.
The Deqing Palace quieted down.
“Follow Shu-fei’s clues.” Li Shiyu ordered lightly.
“Yes.” Mu Zhan answered.
Long Shaoyun didn’t say anything. “All right,” said
Li Shiyu, “you can step down first.”
“Yes.” Mu Zhanxiao and Long Shaoyun didn’t stay much.
Soon, the two of them walked toward the outside of the bedroom, and when Long Shaoyun passed by Mu Lan again, he said calmly, “The empress has made me sit up and take notice.”
Mu Lan was quiet, just smiled faintly at Long Shaoyun, and did not say anything.
And Mu Zhanxiao’s eyebrows slightly twisted, looking at Mu Lan, eyebrows and eyes also with a trace of not calm.
Mu Lan is calm on the surface, but his heart beats fast.
It was not until the two of them had left that Li Shiyu looked faintly at Mu Lan and said, “My beloved concubine.”
“Does the emperor have anything to tell me?” Mu Lan asked calmly.
It happened that Li Shiyu did not speak, leaving only Mu Lan and Li Shiyu face to face in the bedroom, the surrounding air seemed to follow that down, in the face of such Li Shiyu, Mu Lan tried to calm himself, but it seemed that such efforts were not very useful.
Until Li Shiyu walked up to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan did not flinch.
Li Shiyu pinched Mu Lan’s chin and said lightly, “How did my beloved concubine know that Mu Zhi’s paintings had been changed?”
Mu Lan: “… …”
This Mu Lan embarrassed, also did not expect Li Shiyu to ask himself such a question, for a while, Mu Lan some do not know how to answer.
Mu Lan just said the previous thing, completely did not think about whether this matter is still known, in such circumstances, Li Shiyu suddenly asked the export, Mu Lan was stunned, is completely unable to answer, and finally can only stand so embarrassed.
“My beloved concubine has not yet answered my question.” Li Shiyu did not let go of Mu Lan’s meaning and asked directly word by word.
This is Mu Lan’s mistake, in Li Shiyu’s aggressiveness, Mu Lan must find a reasonable reason.
When she faced Li Shiyu, she did not seem to panic. She quietly replied, “I’ve only heard of it.”
“Heard?” Li Shiyu’s voice brought a trace of pondering. Li Shiyu did not say the
following words. How did
Mu Lan hear?
At that time, the matter of Mu Zhihua was completely suppressed, and what he knew was only a few trusted followers in the palace. Other people did not know anything about it, but only knew that Mu Zhihua was dead. I don’t know anything else. No one knows about the paintings of Mu Zhi
in the palace of Mu Wang.
After all, Mu Zhihua, who had no face, could not leave Mu Wang Fu, and she did not want to leave.
So how did this Mu Lan know.
Li Shiyu did not rush to expose Mu Lan, but wanted to know how Mu Lan knew, and his eyes never left Mu Lan. With such a look in his eyes,
Mu Lan could hardly explain passively: “Yes, I heard about it.”
“From whom?” Only then did Li Shiyu open his mouth, his tone still lazy.
Mu Lan replied, “I don’t remember. It’s been a long time.”
This, Li Shiyu chuckled, that laughter with sarcasm, looking at Mu Lan, Mu Lan was looking at some of the heart beat faster.
But Li Shiyu had already walked up to Mu Lan and reached out his hand and pinched Mu Lan’s chin. “My beloved concubine was in Liuzhou all the time before she went to the capital. She only had one or two chances to go to the capital. It was ten years ago. How could my beloved concubine know about the capital when she was in Liuzhou?”
Li Shiyu’s tone was stern, and his eyes looked at Mu Lan for a moment.
Mu Lan did not expect Li Shiyu’s entanglement in this matter, but Mu Lan is still calm, at least in front of Li Shiyu, Mu Lan can not be confused.
She took a deep breath and said, “Your Majesty, even if I haven’t been to the capital, it doesn’t mean I don’t know anything about it. You have a pair of ears, and there are always strange things that come to your ears. If you hear something strange once, you’ll remember it.”
Such an explanation is also reasonable.
Liuzhou is a remote area, but places like teahouses are very popular in Dazhou, and the masters of teahouses like to tell strange stories.
Whether it’s true or not, I just want to be happy.
What’s more, the change of face, in the eyes of the public is incredible, even when Mu Lan saw it, he felt incredible, Mu Zhi painted things, can no outsiders make up stories?
Therefore, Mu Lan in such an idea, more and more calm.
But Mu Lan’s explanation did not convince Li Shiyu, the indifference on his face became more and more obvious, and the deep light of his eyes was a suspicion of Mu Lan.
Li Shiyu walked towards Mu Lan step by step, and Mu Lan stood quietly.
All the time Li Shiyu hooked Mu Lan’s chin and let Mu Lan look at himself.
He was very close to Mu Lan, and every word spilled from his thin lips, but what he said could not have been more obvious: “My beloved concubine, no one knows about Mu Zhi’s painting from the beginning to the end. Apart from a few of my trusted followers, how can affair that has never been rumored in Kyoto be spread to Liuzhou?”
Mu Lan was stunned.
“So, my beloved concubine is lying.” With a sneer, Li Shiyu suddenly changed the subject. “Who on earth are you, Xu Zhenzhen?”
Li Shiyu called Mu Lan by his first name.
Mu Lan’s heart was beating fast, and her hands clenched slightly in her wide sleeves, but she remained calm on the surface. She answered word by word: “My identity was clearly explained when I entered the palace. No matter what, there is no possibility of any change in this identity.”
Mu Lan vowed that there was no guilty conscience when he said this question.
But Mu Lan’s heart is still uneasy.
Li Shiyu has begun to doubt his identity between the lines.
She underestimated Li Shiyu, even if she is no longer the face of Mu Lan, but in her bones this person or Mu Lan, words and deeds are difficult to change, Li Shiyu and Mu Lan get along day and night, how can not see.
In fact, this is a good thing in the eyes of outsiders.
But Mu Lan is very clear about Li Shiyu’s temper, if suspected, will inevitably seek the root to the end, but under such circumstances, Mu Lan can not admit his identity.
Suddenly Mu Lan felt powerless.
She understood the deal that the Black Mountain God had given herself, and it was better to go to the abyss step by step in such pain than to let herself die happily and live free.
Back to the palace to see Li Shiyu this period of time, is the most time for Mu Lan to live like a year.
Her heart was struggling, but there was nothing she could do.
Obviously the most loved person is close at hand, but Mu Lan can not unscrupulously close, between them, placed an invisible barrier, how can not break through.
Even if Li Shiyu suspected, and even Li Shiyu confirmed the identity of Mu Lan, Mu Lan could not admit it.
This kind of pain, only those who have experienced it can experience it personally. That kind of pain, like thousands of ants gnawing, can not be relieved.
Eventually, Mu Lan’s eyes gradually dimmed down, that is the helplessness of the status quo.
And Li Shiyu listens to Mu Lan’s words, suddenly loosened Mu Lan, as if no longer mind what Mu Lan said, before the topic was also brought to the past in an instant.
Mu Lan did not breathe sigh of relief.
It was not until Li Shi-yu said lightly, “Let people say that the prince is having dinner.”
Say that finish, Li Shiyu walked toward the small table, Mu Lan can not say is relieved or other, quietly followed Li Shiyu behind, while ordering Xiaolian to pass on the proud wind.
Xiao Lian answered and left.
The meal was a little dull, leaving only the voice of the proud wind on the table, crisp and crisp, falling on Mu Lan’s heart, which gradually dispelled the dullness.
But the whole process, Li Shiyu did not open his mouth to say a word, just quietly eating.
“Mother, I haven’t even eaten the strange food you mentioned.” Ao Feng is full of curiosity about everything Mu Lan said.
Mulan lowered his head and chuckled, “When you have a chance, will you take Ao Feng with you?”
“Mmm.” Ao Feng nodded. “The places my mother and concubine talked about are very strange to Ao Feng, too.”
“Like where?” Li Shiyu, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth.
Ao Feng didn’t think much about it: “Beyond the Great Wall, the Western Regions.”
Ao Feng said, Mu Lan slightly closed his eyes, that kind of uneasy premonition once again flashed, always feel that Li Shiyu will be questioning himself, but she can not deliberately stop, but suddenly some regret, should not mention these with Ao Feng. As a
result, while Mu Lan was waiting for Li Shiyu to question him, Li Shiyu’s tone was fine: “Does the prince want to go to these places?”
Ao Feng nodded heavily and said, “I want to go to the place mentioned by my mother and concubine.”. It also snows in Kyoto, so it must be different from the Western Regions. The more I think about a place
like that, the happier I feel.
Ao Feng remembers every word that Mu Lan said. The snow in Kyoto is not as heavy as that in the Western Regions. When the snow in the Western Regions is heavy, it can bury people’s calves. When you walk there, you can hear the sound of Ga Zi Ga Zi. That’s respect for the snowy days.
You can have a snowball fight and make a very tall snowman.
Aofeng is only a few years old child, for such a place, is full of imagination, and even some can not wait, even if not to the western regions, Aofeng are beginning to look forward to the winter of Kyoto. It’s snowing
all over.
It’s just that over the years, it’s snowing less and less in Kyoto, and even if it does, it’s just a thin layer.
Li Shiyu listened to Aofeng’s words with a half-smile: The Western Regions are not as beautiful as your mother and concubine said. It looks like snow on a snowy day. It’s really walking in the snow, but it’s the feeling of walking on thin ice. The conditions in the Western Regions were far inferior to those in Kyoto, and when the snow melted, it was freezing. If
Mu Lan said the most beautiful side to Aofeng, then now Li Shiyu said the most cruel side to Aofeng.
Mu Lan could not help but complain about Li Shiyu in his heart.
But Mu Lan did not speak to stop Li Shiyu.
Her status doesn’t allow it.
On the contrary, Ao Feng groaned, “Father, I don’t believe you.”
So you only believe what Shu Fei says? Don’t you believe what I say? Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows.
Ao Feng’s mouth was flat, and he was silent again. Unable to bear it, Mu Lan answered, “Your Majesty, as far as the prince is concerned, he is young, and what he accepts is some of the most beautiful things. There are many things that the prince himself feels are far better than what we tell the prince.” “It’s not a bad thing for people to be carefree when they are young,
” Mulan quieted.
“Being carefree means having no sense of crisis. If something really happened, would the prince be so naive and romantic?”. Li Shiyu asked Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was choked and could not speak.
But the way Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu did not change at all. After waiting for a while, she calmly said, “I would like to believe that under the rule of the emperor, Dazhou can have good weather, enough to let the prince spend a carefree young life.”
This made Li Shi-yu laugh angrily: “This is the sharp teeth of Shu-fei.” “I dare not,” said
Mu Lan calmly.
This atmosphere, some undercurrent surges, the proud wind suddenly did not utter a word, honestly ate own thing, no longer cranky.
Occasionally, Ao Feng would look at Mu Lan out of the corner of his eye, and Mu Lan returned with a calm smile.
Ao Feng didn’t think any more about it. Li Shiyu looked at
this silent conversation in his eyes, but he was quiet for a moment. Then he asked, “How did my beloved concubine know about the Western Regions and beyond the Great Wall?”
Mu Lan: “… …”
Suddenly she felt that Li Shiyu was really annoying tonight.
There is no need to dig to the bottom.
But Mu Lan didn’t say much on the surface. He quietly looked at Li Shiyu and said, “If you read too many books, you will naturally learn.”
Li Shiyu smiled and said nothing.
The table was quiet again until the three of them had finished their meal.
Li Shiyu did not let Aofeng continue to stay in the Deqing Palace, and soon took Aofeng away. Mu Lan sent the father and son all the way away.
After the two figures walked away, Mu Lan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Today is the past, so what’s next?
Mu Lan was suddenly uncertain. That kind of uneasiness
that lingers in the heart also becomes intense, Mu Lan can not guess what will happen next, and finally can only passively stay in place.
Until the night gradually sank, Mu Lan slowly got up and returned to the bedroom.
Bedroom is quiet, in addition to Xiaolian, the general slave in the absence of Mu Lan’s command is not into Mu Lan’s bedroom, Deqing Palace, but know that Mu Lan likes quiet, not noisy.
“Empress.” Xiaolian pushed the door and entered.
Mu Lan looked at Xiao Lian, who quickly said, “Lord Mu is here, waiting for you outside.”
Mu Zhanxiao?
Mu Lan was surprised.
Mu Zhanxiao rarely this time to find themselves, or, since she was canonized as Shu Fei, Mu Zhanxiao will hardly take the initiative to appear in front of Mu Lan, after all, such an identity is still somewhat different from before, will always cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Mulan quieted down and nodded, “I’m going out. You watch. If anything happens, tell me at any time.”
“Yes.” Xiaolian answered respectfully.
Soon, Mu Lan walked toward the outside of the palace, at the junction of the Deqing Palace and the Cold Palace, Mu Lan saw Mu Zhanxiao standing there.
But Mu Zhanxiao heard the footsteps of Mu Lan and quickly turned around and looked over: “You’re here.”
Mu Lan nodded his head and said directly, “Why did you suddenly come at this point?”
In the palace, if it is not a very safe place, Mu Lan will not call Mu Zhanxiao as the second brother, to avoid being eavesdropped in the corner to listen to, that is trouble. What’s more, now Mu Lan’s identity, and Mu Zhanxiao go too close, is not necessarily a good thing.
“Today, Your Majesty..” Mu Zhanxiao did not hesitate, but answered, “I was testing you, but you..”
Mu Zhanxiao’s words just said, Mu Lan understood the meaning of Mu Zhanxiao’s words.
“I know.” Mu Lan sighed, “I just didn’t think much about it at the time, so I blurted it out. Sure enough, our ancestors were right. If you say too much, you’ll make a lot of mistakes.”
This, Mu Lan appears extremely helpless.
Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan and then explained, “Except for a few of us, no one knew about Zhihua in those days. In the eyes of the people in the palace, Zhihua had already been dealt with.”. The events of the former Dynasty were a factor of instability, especially in the light of the general situation at that time, so this incident was covered up in the past, and we didn’t want to frighten the snake.
「……」
“If the person behind the princess of the former Dynasty had known about this, I’m afraid he would have taken precautions, so no one knew about it from the beginning to the end. Even the current investigation is carried out in secret, and the emperor has never been blatant.” Mu Zhanxiao explained.
Mu Zhanxiao is completely unexpected, Mu Lan actually took the initiative to mention the things of that year, so many things of that year, but it happened to mention Mu Zhihua this stubble.
Only then did the boulder drop on the calm lake, which was completely uncontrollable.
Under such circumstances, Mu Zhanxiao can not be worried, that kind of tension is obvious, is the tension of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan listened to Mu Zhanxiao’s words and sighed: “The matter has come to this point. It’s useless to say more.” It
‘s really useless.
Mu Zhanxiao also understood this truth. He looked at Mu Lan for a long time before opening his mouth: “I’m afraid the emperor has long been suspicious, so what are you going to do next?”
“I don’t know.” Mu Lan shook his head.
“If the emperor doesn’t pierce this layer of paper, it’s actually a good thing in my opinion, but obviously the emperor’s temper is not like that.” Mu Zhanxiao twisted his eyebrows. “I can’t guess what the emperor will do next.”
Then Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan lowered his head and chuckled: “If he suspects something, he will certainly investigate it to the end.”
Mu Zhanxiao twisted his eyebrows and said, “If the emperor has a move, I can’t be unaware of it.”
“If you were suspected, too,” says Mulan directly, “then you wouldn’t know.”
That’s the truth.
Li Shiyu is a very careful person, if even Mu Zhanxiao is suspicious, then Mu Zhanxiao will not know what Li Shiyu does, naturally there is no way to arrange in advance, with Li Shiyu’s keen, sooner or later will be found.
She has too many flaws around Li Shiyu.
This, let Mu Zhan Xiao quiet down, because there is no way to refute Mu Lan’s words.
The two looked at each other.
For a long time, it was Mu Zhanxiao who broke the silence: “The emperor asked Rong Jiu to check your identity in Liuzhou.”
Mu Lan didn’t open his mouth.
Mu Zhanxiao said directly, “I’ve arranged it in advance, so there won’t be too many questions. When Rong Jiu comes back, his answer is the same as before.”
Mu Lan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
“If you don’t expose it in Liuzhou, then it won’t be a big deal. If Liuzhou’s identity can’t be concealed, there will be a chain reaction, and the emperor and I will doubt it, then it’s really hard to say.” Mu Zhanxiao said directly, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes for a moment, “At that time, you have to be prepared for fun.”
Mu Lan hum.
Take one step at a time. If it doesn’t work, I’ll send you out of the palace in advance. Better than emperor questioning you. Mu Zhanxiao thought about the worst outcome. “After I leave the palace, I will deal with things in the palace.”
“Good.” Mu Lan nodded, eyes are grateful to Mu Zhanxiao.
But Mu Lan is very clear, I am afraid this matter is not so simple.
“One more thing.” Mu Zhanxiao seemed to think of something and looked at Mu Lan. “I’m afraid not only the emperor, but also Shao Yun is suspicious.”
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.
“Shao Yun is a man of few words. I’m afraid he was suspicious of what he suddenly said to you before he left.” This is Mu Zhanxiao and Long Shaoyun get along for many years, very easy to feel the emotion.
In Mu Zhanxiao’s view, the more people doubt Mu Lan’s identity, the more likely problems will arise.
But when Mu Zhanxiao mentioned Long Shaoyun, Mu Lan seemed to be particularly calm, as if he was not worried about Long Shaoyun discovering his identity.
Under such circumstances, Mu Zhanxiao looked curiously at Mu Lan: “You don’t seem to be afraid that Shao Yun knows?”
Mu Lan quieted down: “He always has a sense of propriety in doing things. Even if he suspects something, he won’t say a word more if there is no evidence. Instead, he will cover it up.”
Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly.
Mu Zhanxiao looked curiously at Mu Lan. “I didn’t realize you knew so much about Shao Yun.”
Mu Lan smiled, and did not explain much about Long Shaoyun and himself, Long Shaoyun is really a person who fully understands himself, can experience so many incredible things, now such a thing, in Long Shaoyun’s view, in fact, it is nothing. The difference between
Long Shaoyun and Li Shiyu is that if Long Shaoyun suspects, as long as he gets a positive answer, he will not get to the bottom of it, but Li Shiyu’s obsession with Mu Lan is different from Long Shaoyun’s, and he will insist on getting an answer.
This is a matter of character, and outsiders cannot interfere.
But Mu Lan didn’t explain, and Mu Zhanxiao didn’t ask much either. He nodded quietly: “All right, the Deqing Palace is not a place for me to stay. I’ll leave first. I’ll pay attention to the situation on the emperor’s side. If you have something to do, ask Xiaolian to come to me in advance. I’ll deal with it.”
“Thank you.” Mu Lan answered.
Mu Zhanxiao nodded, this no longer opened his mouth, soon turned into the shadow of the tree, disappeared, Mu Lan saw Mu Zhanxiao left, before slowly walking toward the Deqing Palace.
After both of them left, behind the tree, a tall figure suddenly appeared in the place where they had stayed.
That’s Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu’s eyes were very heavy and looked in the direction of their departure. After
he sent Aofeng back to the East Palace, he turned back to the Deqing Palace. Mu Lan’s remarks made Li Shiyu begin to doubt Mu Lan’s identity, but he didn’t expect to see Mu Zhanxiao after he turned back.
Mu Zhanxiao’s internal force is very deep, Li Shiyu can not be too close, too close, Mu Zhanxiao will inevitably find someone in the dark, so Li Shiyu kept a certain distance, can not hear what Mu Zhanxiao and Mu Lan said.
But in the whole process, Mu Zhanxiao and Mu Lan did not have any intimate behavior, such a feeling looks like Mu Zhanxiao asked Mu Lan, as to what to ask, it is unknown.
Li Shiyu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
But he knew very well that it was impossible to ask him face to face, and if there was really a problem, he would certainly frighten the snake.
But Li Shiyu has absolute trust in Mu Zhanxiao, and it is absolutely impossible for Mu Zhanxiao to betray himself, but Mu Zhanxiao will not easily get too close to people, so under such circumstances-
Li Shiyu sank, said nothing, and soon, his figure disappeared into the side of the woods. Take a leisurely exit from another path in the palace.
But Li Shiyu followed Mu Zhanxiao all the way.
As he neared the Imperial Dragon Hall, Li Shiyu suddenly came out and said, “Zhan Xiao.”
Mu Zhanxiao was surprised to hear Li Shiyu’s voice out of the blue, but soon calmed down: “I join the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor.”
“You and my brother, there is no need to be polite.” Li Shiyu said it directly.
Mu Zhanxiao nodded.
Li Shi-yu asked casually, “It’s so late. Why are you still in the palace and haven’t gone back?”
“There are just some things that haven’t been dealt with yet.” Mu Zhanxiao coped with it freely.
Li Shiyu hum sound, also did not ask much, casually asked some of the situation inside the palace, as usual, two people chatted for a while, Li Shiyu did not stay any longer, quickly walked toward the Royal Dragon Palace.
Mu Zhanxiao saw Li Shiyu off in situ.
But when Li Shiyu turned around, he suddenly looked at Mu Zhanxiao and said, “There’s something I don’t know what your opinion is.”
“Your Majesty, please speak.” Mu Zhanxiao is calm.
Li Shiyu seemed to be thinking, and he seemed to be watching Mu Zhanxiao’s reaction. Then he said lightly, “What would you think if I made Concubine Shu queen?”
In a word, let Mu Zhan Xiao twist his eyebrows without any trace, but when he looked at Li Shiyu, he looked very calm.
But this problem, Mu Zhanxiao appears to be cautious, he followed Li Shiyu for such a long time can not not understand, Li Shiyu is also testing himself.
In other words, Li Shiyu is testing his reaction.
If you accidentally answer wrong, the trouble you may cause is for Mulan. After a
quiet moment, Mu Zhanxiao said, “Why did the emperor suddenly have such an idea?”
Li Shiyu answered calmly, “Ao Feng likes Shu Fei. Have you ever seen Ao Feng so close to anyone for so many years?”? For me, the back seat is nothing more than a person, those ministers like, then satisfy the wishes of these ministers. As long as Shu Fei can take care of the prince, it’s just a back seat. It’s nothing, isn’t it?
This, Li Shiyu said very casually.
But Mu Zhanxiao didn’t think so.
Because he knows better than anyone, this back seat is a turbulent undercurrent, involving not only these imperial concubines, but also the struggle for rights and interests in the court. If these people have been fighting for so many years, but have been taken away by a person whose appearance is not surprising, the trouble caused can be imagined. The matter of
Mu Lan will be uncovered, and these people will not let Mu Lan go.
Not to mention these people in the palace, once the siege of Mu Lan, with Mu Lan’s present origin can not get any benefits, after making a big fuss, the ultimate cause of trouble or Mu Lan. The crime
of deceiving the king has been a capital crime since ancient times.
Mu Zhanxiao could not let Mu Lan take such a wind.
“Your Majesty.” Mu Zhanxiao calmed down for a moment, “the emperor’s idea, the princes will naturally have no objection, but this may not be very friendly to the imperial concubine.”. Since Concubine Shu is deeply liked by the prince, in my opinion, she shouldn’t be pushed to the forefront of the storm. I don’t have much contact with Concubine Shu, but I can see that she doesn’t have much interest in these things. After
thinking about it, Mu Zhanxiao explains, “It’s just a simple act of kindness to the prince.”
Li Shiyu listened to Mu’s words with a half-smile: “It seems that you are particularly concerned about Shu Fei.”
“I only care about the prince.” Mu Zhanxiao responded calmly.
Li Shiyu hum, also do not know is to listen to or did not listen to, but Li Shiyu’s words, let Mu Zhanxiao’s eyebrows slightly twisted up.
That sounds like a test.
But Mu Zhanxiao couldn’t figure out why Li Shiyu suddenly tested himself.
He and Mu Lan, in front of Li Shiyu has never had any intersection, the only time to meet, but also before the appearance of those remnants of the former Dynasty, Li Shiyu should not suspect their own body.
But under such circumstances, Mu Zhanxiao will not say much, words will be lost.
“All right, it’s getting late. Go to bed early.” Li Shiyu did not continue to talk.
Mu Zhanxiao answered, “I respectfully see the emperor off.”
Li Shiyu walked toward the Royal Dragon Palace this time, but said nothing more, while Mu Zhanxiao stood in place, watching Li Shiyu walk away, the eyes sank, and then turned to leave the palace calmly. No matter what happens
now, it can only be covered by water and blocked by soldiers. In
such an idea, let Mu Zhanxiao’s palm unconsciously clenched into a fist.
And inside the imperial palace, it was still quiet.
……
By then, it was already after midnight.
Li Shiyu did not go to bed, but Cheng Dezhu said, “Your Majesty, it’s getting late. You should have a rest.”. You have to go to court early tomorrow morning. If that happens, your body won’t be able to stand it.
Li Shiyu stood with his hands on his back and said nothing.
Cheng Dezhu can not guess Li Shiyu’s idea, passively standing, opening is not, not opening is not.
Under such circumstances, Li Shiyu suddenly looked at Cheng Dezhu and said, “What do you think of Zhan Xiao?” The
sudden mention of Mu Zhanxiao stunned Cheng Dezhu. Without thinking, he replied, “Lord Mu and the emperor are like brothers. They are loyal to each other. They have followed the emperor all the way to conquer the country. They are modest. Even if you are a prince now, you have never been spoiled. It is a blessing for Dazhou to have such a person as Lord Mu.”
Li Shiyu listened to Cheng Dezhu’s words and chuckled, but said nothing.
Cheng Te-chu was somewhat cautious: “Why did the emperor suddenly mention Lord Mu?”
“Nothing.” Li Shi-yu said no more. “You go down.”
“The slave obeys the decree.” Cheng Dezhu answered respectfully, and then Cheng Dezhu quickly withdrew from the Royal Dragon Hall.
Li Shiyu lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and his mind was still thinking about Mu Zhanxiao’s appearance in the Deqing Palace, but he did not think that Mu Zhanxiao and Mu Lan were ambiguous, but the appearance of Mu Zhanxiao always complicated Li Shiyu’s ideas.
It was a long time before Li Shiyu closed his eyes and rested.
…… In the
following January, Mu Lan faintly felt that there was a slight difference between himself and Li Shiyu. Li Shiyu still came to the Deqing Palace every day, and there had never been an exception.
But Aofeng seldom comes back at lunch time, and Aofeng will not appear in Deqing Palace until after lunch.
Li Shiyu will go to the Deqing Palace after the court.
He seems to have moved his official business to the Deqing Palace to deal with it, which is not a problem. The problem is that there is no ambiguity between Mu Lan and Li Shiyu.
Never too close, but can not escape the intimacy between each other, such intimacy is if there is no, can not be avoided.
It’s just like now–
“What’s the princess thinking?” Li Shiyu suddenly asked. Mu Lan was
stunned and shook his head. “It’s nothing,” he said. “It’s just that I’m a little absorbed in reading.”
Such a conversation looks very normal, but Li Shiyu’s hand is the floor of Mu Lan’s waist, never loosened, his palm hot against Mu Lan’s waist, as if the moment can be swallowed up by Mu Lan.
“See what?” Li Shiyu asked casually.
Mu Lan has not had time to open his mouth, Li Shiyu has surrounded Mu Lan’s hand, very naturally picked up the book in Mu Lan’s hand, took a look.
Mu Lan was stunned and looked at Li Shiyu subconsciously.
Li Shiyu smiled faintly, bowed his head, and his handsome face seemed to be enlarged endlessly in front of Mu Lan, who was holding books of historical records in front of him, which were dull and looked different.
And Mu Lan here, interesting books, probably Aofeng likes the unofficial history of strange things, the rest are these dull books, except for these, is some of the Compendium of Materia Medica and other medical skills, the rest, almost no longer seen.
“My beloved concubine seems to like watching these very much.” Li Shiyu asked heavily.
Mu Lan’s mind is somewhat biased, is biased by Li Shiyu, because Li Shiyu is too close, so close that both of them become cramped breathing.
“Just bored.” Mu Lan calmed down and then answered.
And Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan with a smile, Junyan did not move away from Mu Lan’s body, Mu Lan subconsciously hid.
“Is my beloved concubine hiding from me?” Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows.
Mu Lan shook his head without thinking: “I dare not.”
“When I come to the Deqing Palace every day, I don’t see my beloved concubine jumping for joy, eh?” Li Shiyu did not deny that he was deliberately looking for trouble from Mu Lan.
Mu Lan listened to Li Shiyu’s words, unconsciously licked his lips, and before he could open his mouth, Li Shiyu’s hand suddenly rubbed Mu Lan’s lips.
Mu Lan was stunned. “Your Majesty,”
he said, “Does your beloved concubine know what it means to do something like this?” Li Shiyu asked directly.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and did not know what to do.
And Li Shiyu bent down and kissed Mulan’s lips heavily. His voice was still deep and magnetic, but with a hint of temptation: “Wait for me to kiss you.”
Mu Lan was stunned.
But such consternation soon engulfed in Li Shiyu’s kiss, long and long, did not let go of the meaning of Mu Lan, Mu Lan passively bear. In
such a kiss, Mu Lan seems to have returned to the beginning.
Can’t help being moved. In
the end, Mu Lan’s hand took the initiative to encircle Li Shiyu’s neck, sighing silently, and in such a kiss, he completely gave up his reserve and struggle.
Gradually sink.
It wasn’t until Mulan couldn’t breathe that Li Shiyu released Mulan slightly, but only for a moment, and a deep voice followed: “Call me by my name.”
Mu Lan was in a trance and blurted out, “Shiyu –”
It was obviously a hoarse and ugly voice, but when he called it out at the moment, it looked very long. His eyes were no longer what they used to be, but through the faint light. But it seems to see a pair of gentle eyes like water.
Brand in the heart, for a long time.
And such a sound [Shiyu] in exchange for Li Shiyu’s emotions and mind, completely unable to control their emotions, a little bit of want to eat Mu Lan thoroughly.
Everything has changed.
It was not until Mu Lan could not breathe that Li Shiyu released Mu Lan and said, “My beloved concubine, I don’t have much patience. If I give you a period of time to recuperate, I will certainly get you.” The
last words, Li Shiyu said simply and clearly, word by word.
Mu Lan’s heartbeat is very fast.
She is not an innocent girl, of course, understand the meaning of Li Shiyu’s words, she looked at Li Shiyu, but did not say anything.
This kind of thing, in this month, has happened innumerable, they wipe the gun accidentally, but forever only stays in this layer, will not go deep again.
Mu Lan seems to be used to it.
“What did the people at the hospital say?” Li Shiyu asked casually, changing the subject.
“My concubine’s health is old, that’s all.” Mu Lan tells the truth.
Ji Jang Geum was ordered to appear in the Deqing Palace almost every two days. Sometimes Ji Jang Geum came every day, and there were countless rare medicinal materials in the Deqing Palace. Whether it was an attack or something else, as long as Li Shiyu thought of it, it must be sent to the Deqing Palace at the first time.
Not only Ji Jang Geum, but also Li Changyi unexpectedly came twice in a month to check the situation of Mu Lan.
And the slaves of the Deqing Palace are also Li Shiyu personally selected, are very quick hands and feet, anything does not need Mulan hands-on, even the original lunch, are to let Mulan in the side guidance, let the people of the Imperial Kitchen personally to the small kitchen of the Deqing Palace.
It’s not as good as Jin Ruyi, but it’s better than letting Mu Lan toss about.
So in such a multi-pronged approach, Mu Lan’s body is much better than before.
But Mu Lan knows very well that this is only a temporary solution.
The good ones are just the surface.
Mulan knows this better than anyone.
But such a situation, for Mu Lan, is also a good thing, she can use more time to accompany Ao Feng, of course, there is Li Shiyu.
Just such companionship, also let Mu Lan feel satisfied.
And Li Shiyu listens to Mu Lan’s answer, also just hum and did not say what, very quickly changed the topic, two people chatted for a while, do not know who stopped first, the conversation stopped abruptly.
Li Shiyu looked down at the memorial, while Mu Lan quietly turned over the book.
It was not until they finished their meal that Aofeng came back, and Mu Lan accompanied Aofeng to escape from Li Shiyu.
…… After
dinner, Li Shiyu accompanied Aofeng back to the East Palace.
Ao Feng is this period of time to get used to Li Shiyu to accompany himself, and in the face of Li Shiyu before the time of restraint, now it is much more lively.
On weekdays, Aofeng would chat with Li Shiyu, but recently Aofeng seemed to have no interest in Li Shiyu at all, and had been bowing his head to play with the things in his hands, as if he couldn’t put them down.
Ao Feng has been a prince since he was a child. He doesn’t lack anything, and he has seen a lot of strange things. So when Li Shiyu suddenly came to Ao Feng’s interest in a small thing, he was somewhat curious.
Prince, what are you looking at? Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth.
Ao Feng was a little frightened and patted his chest, but soon calmed down: “Father, look.”
Ao Feng proudly handed the sachet in his hand to Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu slightly twisted eyebrows, took over, the sachet is exquisite, above the embroidery is wonderful, as long as a glance, people can not put it down.
“Who gave you this?” Li Shiyu asked casually, “Why didn’t I find out that the prince liked these things before?”
“Naturally, I don’t want anything given to me by others.” Ao Feng shakes his head. “But if my mother gives it to me, my son will naturally like it.”
“Shu Fei?” Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows.
The sachet was played with by Li Shiyu for a while. Under such circumstances, Ao Feng snatched the sachet back without thinking: “Father, this is my son’s.”
He stressed for a moment, then looked at Li Shiyu in a contemptuous manner: “My mother and concubine said that they were only for my son and minister.”
Said, Ao Feng hums, that one face careful appearance is obvious, of course more afraid is Li Shiyu suddenly opens the mouth to ask oneself to want.
As long as it is given by Mu Lan, Aofeng does not want to be with anyone at all, no matter who this person is, Aofeng is unwilling.
“Shu-fei says you’re the only one who can do it?” Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows.
Ao Feng was even more vigilant: “Yes.”. It was made for my son alone!
Li Shiyu sneered, “You don’t look like a prince at all. A sachet can make you so careful.”
Ao Feng naturally did not have the courage to make faces at Li Shiyu, but under such circumstances, Ao Feng’s subconscious reaction was to protect the sachet.
Intuitively, Li Shiyu is jealous. Naked
jealousy.
In the whole process, Aofeng no longer talked to Li Shiyu. As soon as he arrived at the East Palace, Aofeng didn’t even want the rules. He walked quickly towards the East Palace without thinking about it, for fear that Li Shiyu would come in again.
Instead, Li Shiyu looked at the figure of Ao Feng with a thoughtful face.
Only for Ao Feng?
Li Shiyu finally laughed out loud.
If I remember correctly, he let Mu Lan get his own purse, so far has not seen the trace, that day is to see Mu Lan sewing, but since Mu Lan coma, it seems that this matter is not settled.
Mu Lan is forgotten, but still clearly remember to sew a sachet for Aofeng.
You really don’t care about yourself at all.
Thinking of this, Li Shiyu suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, but Li Shiyu was unwilling to admit that he was jealous of Ao Feng.
And get along with Mu Lan these three months, unexpectedly silently let Mu Lan enter the life of Li Shiyu, as if accustomed to the existence of Mu Lan. There is very little time to think of the late queen
on weekdays. In
such an idea, Li Shiyu’s eyebrows and eyes sank, and finally said nothing.
And in the hands of the sachet, still faintly retain the breath of Mu Lan, Li Shiyu should have returned to the Royal Dragon Palace, but at the moment, he suddenly turned back, toward the direction of the Deqing Palace. When
Cheng Dezhu realized where Li Shiyu was going, he did not dare to say anything. He quickly kept up with Li Shiyu. It was not until Li Shiyu reached the front of the Deqing Palace that Cheng Dezhu shouted, “Your Majesty is here.” The slaves of
the Deqing Palace knelt on the ground.
Mu Lan was about to take a rest when he heard the announcement. He was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses and walked outside the Deqing Palace. When he saw Li Shiyu, Mu Lan paid his respects: “My concubine, see the emperor.”
“Get up.” Li Shiyu waved his hand. Then
Mu Lan answered curiously, “Why did the emperor suddenly come back?”? Have you left something here with me?
“What’s the matter, Concubine Shu-fei isn’t happy when I come back?” Li Shiyu asked directly.
“I dare not.” Mu Lan answered respectfully.
Li Shiyu also did not know whether to believe or not, and soon walked toward the bedroom, Mu Lan naturally did not dare to neglect, immediately followed up.
And the minions are wise enough not to go near the bedroom. Outside the
bedroom is quiet, but inside the bedroom is also silent.
“Your Majesty?” It was Mulan who finally broke the silence. Only then did
Li Shiyu look at Mu Lan and say, “Does my beloved concubine owe me something that she hasn’t given me?”
Mu Lan listened to Li Shiyu’s words, but also a face of inexplicable, some can not answer, and Li Shiyu’s eyes fell on Mu Lan’s body, also did not move away.
In the end, it was Mu Lan who had no choice but to say, “I don’t understand what the emperor means. Please make it clear.”
This, in exchange for Li Shiyu’s cold hum, and then looked at Mu Lan, his eyes sank, step by step toward Mu Lan, Mu Lan slightly twisted eyebrows, the brain quickly thought, but still a face unknown.
But Mu Lan did not dodge Li Shiyu, quietly watching Li Shiyu step by step toward their own.
“My beloved concubine only cares about the affairs of the crown prince. After hearing what I have said, she will lose it.” Li Shiyu was somewhat dissatisfied.
“I dare not.” Mu Lan answered.
“I dare not.” Li Shiyu sneered again. “If I really don’t dare, then where is the purse I asked my beloved concubine for?”? I did see the prince with a proud face showing off his sachet to me. I let my beloved concubine rest, and I didn’t want her to do more work. My beloved concubine was fine. She turned around and was busy with the prince.
What Li Shiyu said was very direct: “In the heart of my beloved concubine, is there no place for me at all?”
Mu Lan does not know whether to laugh or cry: “… …”
Obviously did not expect Li Shiyu would mention such a thing, but also did not expect Li Shiyu would be jealous of Aofeng, and then turned back to the Deqing Palace to ask himself about this matter.
“Hmm?” Li Shiyu is waiting for Mu Lan to answer.
Mu Lan was quiet for a moment. “I’ve forgotten.”
I’m telling the truth.
I really forgot.
Before embroidered a little purse, now it is estimated that it is still in the cabinet and has not been touched again, but can remember to give Aofeng, because Aofeng in his mouth, Mu Lan just conveniently did.
It seems that over the years, the memory is much worse.
Every time after a serious illness, the memory will follow the decline of a little, Mulan has no doubt that one day, these people, will gradually dissipate from their own memories.
For example, the God of Montenegro does not want Mu Lan’s life, but Mu Lan has a good life to have time to continue her life, she is lucky to survive, but ultimately in this world, Mu Lan may not know anyone, only remember themselves.
So Mu Lan still remembers the words of the God of Montenegro, and he wants to make a bet with Mu Lan to see if the world really has true feelings.
The world is not without, but in Mu Lan, all this is really too difficult.
“Forgot?” With a sneer, Li Shiyu said, “So my beloved concubine remembers the prince’s words and ignores my words. Isn’t that because she doesn’t have me in her heart?”
Mu Lan has no way to refute.
Finally, Mu Lan lowered her head and looked at the man who was getting angry in front of her. She quieted down and suddenly stretched out her hand and gently pulled Li Shiyu’s sleeve.
This action is a bit perverse.
But in Mu Lan’s eyes, it seems to be an unconscious action, just like when he took the initiative to set up Li Shiyu, appeasing Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu has also noticed that his eyes sank and did not take the initiative to open his mouth.
“Your majesty,” said Mu Lan in a long drawn-out voice. Although it was not pleasant to hear, there was a hint of coquettish anger. “I was wrong. I will certainly rust out the emperor’s purse as soon as possible. Please don’t blame me.”
Mu Lan carefully opened his mouth and gently pulled Li Shiyu’s sleeve.
Such an action looks very bold.
It’s not decent.
But in the end, Li Shiyu did not say anything, but his eyes gradually sank. In his memory, someone coaxed himself like this after making himself angry. There was nothing special about it, but it was enough for Li Shiyu to put down his temper.
Willing.
“When is it good?” Li Shiyu’s voice was a little lower, as if there was a trace of tenderness, more like a child who had not grown up asking for something.
Mulan thought for a moment. “How about three days?”
Good. After three days, if I don’t see what I have, I will ask only you. Li Shiyu opened his mouth neither salty nor light.
“My concubine obeys the decree.” Mu Lan nodded.
Mu Lan knew that this person was not angry, when Mu Lan’s hand was about to be pulled out from Li Shiyu’s palm, Li Shiyu suddenly clasped Mu Lan.
Mu Lan one Zheng, did not have time to react, this person has kissed down.
Mu Lan some stunned looked at Li Shiyu, that look with a trace of confusion, some do not know why this person kissed himself.
Inexplicable, but also appears to be very impulsive.
“Close your eyes.” Li Shiyu’s voice came helplessly.
Mu Lan is almost a password a movement, and then quietly closed his eyes, Li Shiyu’s kiss more and more heavy, Mu Lan holding Li Shiyu’s sleeve hand, but how did not loosen, as before.
Such an action almost made Li Shiyu crazy.
And in the push, two people step by step back, until against the bedside, Mu Lan whole person was pushed to the bed.
Then, Li Shiyu released Mu Lan.
Mu Lan’s breathing is very short.
For Li Shiyu’s understanding, Mu Lan can feel Li Shiyu’s emotion too much, she is just breathing, as if she has not done these things for a long time, for such things have been unfamiliar, for a moment, Mu Lan’s mind is blank.
Under such circumstances, Li Shiyu has already let go of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was slightly stunned and somewhat surprised.
“Disappointed?” Li Shiyu’s voice seemed to be smiling.
Mu Lan shook his head again and denied Li Shiyu’s guess without thinking about it. Under such circumstances, Li Shiyu did not say anything.
He still pinched Mulan’s chin, but said very clearly: “My patience is limited, eh?”
After that, Li Shiyu said nothing more and released Mu Lan.
Mu Lan struggled to get up from his bed, but Li Shiyu didn’t say anything. He straightened out his clothes, which were a little messy. Then he looked at Mu Lan and said, “I’m going back.” “I’ll see you off to the emperor,” murmu
red Mulan.
The voice fell, but Mu Lan stood where he was, just blessing himself, while Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan and laughed angrily: “See me off, so I can’t wait to leave. As my concubine, I don’t even understand the truth of seeing me out in person.”
Mu Lan: “… …” I’ve never seen this man so importunate
before.
Before they are not all like this, Li Shiyu to go, then go on their own, Mu Lan has never been sent to the door.
But Li Shiyu had already spoken. Mu Lan did not say anything. He quieted down and said, “It’s my fault. Please forgive me.”
Said, Mu Lan really want to get up to send Li Shiyu. With a wave of his hand,
Li Shiyu said, “No, my beloved concubine should go to bed early.”
Then, Li Shiyu turned around and went out, and did not give Mu Lan too much time to react, Mu Lan watched Li Shiyu leave, finally sighed, did not say anything, but really did not send him out again.
Just by Li Shiyu so noisy, Mu Lan’s sleepiness completely disappeared, finally, Mu Lan began to embroider before the purse out.
Looking at the pressed pattern on the purse, she shook her head helplessly.
I really forgot.
Soon, in the candlelight, Mu Lan’s quiet embroidery, appears to be particularly focused, occasionally feel tired, Mu Lan just pinched the forehead, and did not open his mouth to say anything, until the eyelids can not stand, Mu Lan let go of the embroidered cloth in his hand, back to bed. On the
embroidered cloth, although it is only a simple outline, it is enough to make people look amazing, and the feeling of the golden dragon soaring is much more obvious.
Three days later,
the purse that Mu Lan embroidered for Li Shiyu was ready.
Li Shiyu looked down at the memorial, knowing that Mu Lan was coming, but did not care too much, and Cheng Dezhu this period of time, has been smart to send all the memorial to the Deqing Palace, even when the ministers want to see Li Shiyu, also smart is to find Li Shiyu in the Deqing Palace, rather than go to the Royal Dragon Palace. The rumors in the
palace are getting worse and worse.
Rumor has it that Mu Lan is favored by Li Shiyu, and there is even an insinuating voice, saying that Mu Lan is the reincarnation of a witch, obviously without any beauty, but can hook Li Shiyu’s emotions.
But no matter how rumors in the palace, Mu Lan is motionless.
For Mu Lan, what storms have not seen, these rumors, really not worth Mu Lan’s efforts, at most just as a joke to see.
On the contrary, Xiaolian was a little angry.
“Empress, look at the people outside. What are they talking about?” Hsiao-lien couldn’t help but complain, “They all say you’re a monster. They can decide right from wrong just by opening their mouths.” At
this point, Hsiao-lien seems even more aggrieved: “But they don’t know that although the emperor is here, it’s only because of the prince. The emperor and you don’t have..”
The rest, Xiaolian dare not say.
And Mu Lan chuckled, “Didn’t you share the same bed?”
Hsiao-lien’s face turned pale. “That’s not what the maidservant meant, Empress.” On the contrary,
Mu Lan soothed his little face: “Don’t think too much. Just listen to what the outside world says. You know, your mouth is on others, and you can’t control them. Why should you take it to heart and make trouble for yourself?”.
This is also true. Hsiao-lien nodded, but quickly said, “But the maidservant is a little unwilling.”
Mu Lan smiled and said nothing. He had already changed the subject by himself. “All right, go and help the palace bring the embroidered purse and send it to the emperor later.”. “
” Yes. ” Xiaolian did not say anything more, and quickly turned around and brought over what Mu Lan had told her. By the time the
embroidered golden dragon was placed in Mu Lan’s hand, there was already a voice outside the door: “Your Majesty has arrived.” Only then did
Mu Lan walk out of the palace. The figure of
Ming Huang appeared in front of Mu Lan, and Mu Lan said, “My concubine, see the emperor.”
Li Shi-yu nodded his head and said, “Get up.”
Mu Lan got up.
And Li Shiyu had already seen the purse in Mu Lan’s hand. Now Li Shiyu was quiet for a moment: “Is this for me?”
Mu Lan oh sound, respectfully handed over the purse in the past, Li Shiyu took over, looked down, that kind of familiar feeling is still blowing on the face. The surprise at
first sight has long been transformed into familiarity now.
Li Shi-yu watched quietly before commenting, “The embroidery work of the imperial concubine is excellent.”
“My concubine has only learned the surface.” Mu Lan said modestly, do not want to lead such a topic to their own body.
Li Shiyu put his purse in the palm of his hand and played with it for a while, but he didn’t say anything. He soon walked calmly toward the Deqing Palace, and Mu Lan followed him.
This day is no different from usual.
…… At
night,
Li Shiyu returned to the Royal Dragon Hall and pulled out Mu Lan’s veil from the secret compartment. The veil and the purse were put together. Even if the veil was simple, the butterfly on it was lifelike, not to mention the thoughtful purse. The only thing that was certain was that it was made by one person.
Li Shiyu looked at it quietly for a long time.
It was not until Cheng Dezhu appeared in his bedroom that he said, Your Majesty, it’s time for you to rest. Tomorrow will be early.
Li Shi-yu then gathered up his handkerchief and purse without any trace of it, and said lightly, “Send the people from Li Chia-hsiu’s workshop tomorrow.”
“Yes.” Cheng Dezhu dare not make a mistake.
Li Shiyu stood up and walked toward the bedroom. Cheng Dezhu waited on Li Shiyu to change his clothes. Then he quietly retreated and put out the light. Inside the
Royal Dragon Hall, it was already quiet.
……
The next day.
Li Yan entered the palace at the first time, but did not disclose, Li Yan will frequently in and out of the palace on weekdays, tailor-made clothes for the emperor and the concubines of the harem, but can let Li Yan personally, must be allowed by Li Shiyu, Li Yan served nothing more than queen mother and the queen mother, as well as several imperial concubines in the palace.
So when Li Yan came, she subconsciously thought that the empress of the harem was going to cut her clothes. Unexpectedly
, Li Yan was taken directly to the Imperial Dragon Palace by Cheng Dezhu. Li Yan was somewhat surprised and asked in a low voice, “Manager Cheng, is the emperor going to cut the clothes himself?”
“Our family doesn’t know about this. The emperor has only asked our family to send shopkeeper Li to the palace. For other things, I’m afraid the emperor will have to come and ask shopkeeper Li himself.” Cheng Dezhu explained.
Li Yan didn’t ask much.
After that, Li Yan nodded and soon walked toward the Royal Dragon Hall. Li Shiyu was already waiting in the hall. Li Yan respectfully paid his respects.
Li Shiyu motioned Li Yan to get up.
Li Yan stood up, and before she could open her mouth, Li Shiyu put a handkerchief and a purse in front of her: “Look at these things. Have you ever been familiar with them?”
Li Yan was quiet, stepped forward, picked up the purse and handkerchief and looked at it carefully, and then Li Yan’s face changed.
“What’s going on?” Li Shiyu asked directly.
“This is embroidery from the Li family’s embroidery room.” Li Yan is sure, “but the maidservant has never seen it. Even if the embroidery in the Li family’s embroidery room is just a veil, it will pass through the hands of the maidservant. After making sure that there is no problem, she will leave.”
So Li Yan did not have any impression of this veil and purse, but really did not have a little impression, and the people in the Li family’s embroidery room were all embroidery women carefully nurtured by the Li family, and there was no one who left, the daily handicraft was already very busy, and it was impossible to do these things in private.
Besides, even if it was done in private, how could it be in the hands of Li Shiyu.
So Li Yan thought it was incredible.
“This is not the embroidery of the Li family.” Li Shiyu said directly.
But Li Shiyu’s eyes looked at Li Yan for a moment, never left, Li Yan listened to Li Shiyu’s words, his mind flashed a trace of disbelief, and finally passively looked at Li Shiyu.
Her tone was firm: “Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible.”. This method of embroidery is unique to the Li family, and not many of the Li family’s embroiderers know how to do it.
This is the three-dimensional embroidery of Li Jiachuan Talent Club.
Li Yanhui, but absolutely can not do so exquisite, and Li’s embroidery room is not no one has learned, but never learn the essence.
This is why Li Yan saw the veil and purse, only a face of consternation, because here, Li Yan seems to see Mu Lan.
But Li Yan knows very well that Mu Lan has passed away for many years. There is no second descendant of the
Li family alive. The implication is
that Mu Lan left, this three-dimensional embroidery, although not lost, but to such a vivid point, it is almost impossible to have.
“Are you sure?” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
Li Yan was absolutely sure: “The maidservant is sure.”. If the emperor knew where the veil and the purse came from, he could let the maidservant see them and ask for them, and he would have a general idea.
Li Shiyu did not answer Li Yan’s question.
His eyes sparkled, but his tone was calm: “In the Li family’s embroidery room, who can embroider these?”
A word, let Li Yan quiet down.
She looked at Li Shiyu’s eyes a little nervous, Li Shiyu motioned Li Yan to go on, but what Li Yan wanted to say, Li Shiyu had more or less thought of.
But Li Shiyu did not open his mouth.
Li Yan, in the midst of Li Shiyuan’s insistence, then spoke slowly: “The late empress.”
Only Mu Lan can achieve such a superb situation, just like this veil, the butterfly above looks plain, anyone can embroider it, but the butterfly is more and more delicate, when the veil is waved, the butterfly is lifelike.
The more delicate things are, the more difficult they are.
The simpler things are, the more delicate they are.
“Are you sure?” Li Shiyu’s voice sank a little.
“Yes.” Li Yan’s words are incomparably positive. “If it were any other method of embroidery, the maidservant would not be able to guarantee it, but this method of embroidery, the maidservant can be sure. The empress personally taught the maidservant, and the maidservant still remembers it vividly.”
Li Shiyu did not speak, quietly waiting for Li Yan to continue.
Li Yan’s voice is extremely calm: “If there really is such a capable person, rather than empress, then the maidservant will have to ask for advice.”
Li Shiyu gave a hum.
“Your Majesty, can you tell the maidservant which master embroidered this?” Li Yan is not ashamed to ask questions.
“I’ll tell you when I get a chance.” Li Shiyu did not expose Mu Lan’s identity.
When Li Yan saw Li Shiyu answering, she didn’t say anything.
Li Shiyu asked again, “You say it looks like the Empress’s embroidery. Then you tell me, for example, where?”
Your Majesty, you can see that this crochet stitch is a unique habit of the empress. Although it is an ordinary technique, the empress has always handled it in this way from the time she lifts the needle to the time she closes it. Under normal circumstances, we would not do this. And then there’s this butterfly’s wing, where the tail rises when the empress embroiders her own name. It’s also a subconscious habit. Look at the claws of this golden dragon. The details are the same as the tail of a butterfly.
Li Yan explains earnestly: “Embroidering is a deeply ingrained craft. Unless it starts with a blank sheet of paper, it’s hard to change once it takes shape, and there’s no way to change it.”
「……」
“The Empress’s embroidery work is the best in the world, and it’s even more difficult for anyone to imitate it. The maidservant is the one who is close to the Empress, but even after so many years, the maidservant has not learned the essence of the Empress.” Li Yan explained calmly.
Li Shiyu listened quietly, eyebrows and eyes low, in Li Yan’s words, for the identity of Mu Lan, is more doubt, but such doubt, with a trace of affirmation.
Everyone’s clues point to the Deqing Palace, to Mu Lan.
But if Mu Lan is really the original, why is not willing to admit in front of their own, is it so difficult to admit their identity?
If not, why can Aofeng be concerned and happy from the heart, not an ordinary person who wants to take advantage of Aofeng. As a man,
Li Shiyu can clearly feel his familiarity with Mu Lan’s body, even if his appearance is different, but he can attract himself a little bit like Mu Lan when he was alive, and he can no longer resist.
Otherwise, Li Shiyu would not have appeared in the Deqing Palace again and again.
It’s a subconscious sense of familiarity that drives me.
And Li Yan’s words, but also gave Li Shiyu such a positive basis, Li Shiyu’s eyes sank, but he hid his emotions very well.
“I know. You go down first.” Li Shiyu didn’t let Li Yan stay any longer. “But every word I’ve said to you in recent days, don’t leak anything. If there is any leak, I will not let you go.”
“Yes, the maidservant obeyed.” Li Yan dared not hesitate.
Soon, Li Yan left in a hurry.
But Li Shiyu is still in the Imperial Study, and has not left, his mind flashed through countless pictures, frame by frame is particularly familiar. It has been several years since
Mu Lan was buried. The cemetery of the
imperial palace can preserve a person in vacuum all the year round. In so many years, even if Mu Lan’s face has changed, his body can remain intact.
At that time, Li Shiyu just mourned the departure of Mu Lan, and his brain almost stopped thinking about everything that might happen.
Under such circumstances, Li Shiyu’s eyebrows and eyes slightly narrowed, as if now think carefully, everything feels incredible.
Quiet, Li Shiyu suddenly stood up.
Cheng Te-chu had already come in and said subconsciously, “Is the emperor going to the imperial concubine?”
“Not for the time being.” Li Shi-yu answered, “Take a ride in the imperial tomb.”
Cheng Dezhu a Leng, this has not to the queen’s death anniversary, Li Shiyu how to go, the first year, Li Shiyu almost every month will go, and then later, Li Shiyu will only go in the queen’s death anniversary, as if to see more, that kind of sadness will be more serious. Every time
Li Shiyu came back from the imperial mausoleum, the first person to suffer was the prince.
It seemed that Li Shiyu was aware of this, so later Li Shiyu rarely went to Huangling to avoid implicating the prince again.
And now–
but Cheng Te-chu did not resist, and quickly replied respectfully, “I’m going to get ready.”
Li Shiyu didn’t say anything.
Less than a cup of tea, Li Shiyu has set out toward the imperial mausoleum, but did not cause too much noise, but low-key, also only with Cheng Dezhu one person, even usually follow Li Shiyu Rong Jiu disappeared. When
Rong Jiu knew, he was surprised, but he didn’t say anything.
Mu Zhanxiao had just finished his official duties and came over. When he saw Rong Jiu in the Imperial Dragon Hall, he naturally said, “Is the emperor in the hall?”
This is somewhat strange, these days, Li Shiyu in the Deqing Palace, almost never in the Royal Dragon Hall, and now?
Yung Chiu shook his head. “No.”
“What about you?” Mu Zhanxiao was stunned.
“The emperor only took Cheng Zongguan to the imperial mausoleum.” Rong Jiu answered.
At this point, Mu Zhanxiao’s heart flashed a sense of uneasiness, this is too inexplicable to go to the imperial mausoleum, neither the anniversary of Mu Lan’s death, nor any specific time.
“Zhan Xiao, do you think this is strange?” Rong Jiu still couldn’t help talking to Mu Zhanxiao. “This isn’t the anniversary of the death of the empress. Why did the emperor suddenly go to the imperial mausoleum?”? Also, Cheng Te-chu says that when the emperor went to the imperial mausoleum, he let Li Yan go into the palace, as if he had asked something, and then let someone go without cutting his clothes.
Rong Jiu told Mu Zhanxiao what had happened before.
Mu Zhanxiao did not open his mouth all the way, all kinds of ideas flashed through his mind, and eventually, Mu Zhanxiao’s eyebrows were twisted up.
Rong Jiu didn’t mind. Mu Zhanxiao was not a talkative person. Now Rong Jiu changed the subject: “You said that this imperial concubine was really a fierce person. She quietly let the emperor spoil her.” The
sudden mention of Shu Fei made Mu Zhanxiao even more quiet.
“The most important thing is that the prince has taken good care of him. You know, there are only a few people in the palace who can hold the prince down, but Empress Shufei has done it. So I think it’s really hard to say in the palace in the future..”
Rong Jiu is talking with fervor and assurance.
This is to say in private and Mu Zhanxiao, after all, no one can guess the emperor’s mind, but if Mu Zhanxiao really wants to do something, no one can stop it.
Now these courtiers, is used to Li Shiyu to their request, will inevitably approach step by step, but you know, Li Shiyu is not this type of person, when the time really beyond control, the picture is wonderful.
On the contrary, it was Mu Zhanxiao who interrupted Rong Jiu: “The emperor’s business is not something that you and I can control. Just do your own business.”
“Yes, too.” Rong Jiu answered, but didn’t think much about it.
Soon, the two men stopped talking.
But Mu Zhanxiao’s mind was taken away by Rong Jiu’s words.
Why did Li Shiyu suddenly go to the imperial mausoleum?
However, it is impossible for Mu Zhanxiao to keep up with Li Shiyu, which arouses Li Shiyu’s suspicion, and Mu Zhanxiao has become extremely passive.
……
At that time
-Nanshan Imperial Mausoleum.
“Your Majesty, the Imperial Tomb has arrived.” Cheng Dezhu spoke respectfully.
“You wait here.” Li Shiyu said directly, and did not intend to let Cheng Dezhu follow in the meaning.
Cheng Dezhu also did not dare to hesitate, standing in place, Li Shiyu quickly walked toward the imperial mausoleum. On the anniversary of Mu Lan’s death in
previous years, Li Shiyu would have stayed in the imperial mausoleum for a day, but only beside Mu Lan’s tombstone, drinking tea and chatting with Mu Lan, that’s all
. But today, Li Shiyu went into the imperial mausoleum.
The imperial mausoleum is the imperial mausoleum of the entire Li family, including the burial of Li Shiyu’s death, so the door of the imperial mausoleum has never been closed, but strangers rarely enter.
So now when Li Shiyu was suddenly about to enter, the man guarding the imperial mausoleum hesitated for a moment: “Your Majesty, this..”
“I can’t go in?” Li Shiyu asked directly.
The bodyguard immediately knelt down and said, “The slave has absolutely no such intention. It’s just that it’s not good for a living person to enter the imperial mausoleum.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Li Shiyu is direct.
Then, Li Shiyu motioned to the bodyguard to open the door, the bodyguard did not dare to disobey, soon opened the door of the imperial mausoleum, Li Shiyu calmly went in. The door of the
imperial mausoleum was closed again. The air in the
imperial mausoleum was a little depressed, but it would not affect Li Shiyu. Li Shiyu soon walked to the edge of Mu Lan’s coffin. This was the first time that Li Shiyu stood on the edge of Mu Lan’s coffin for many years after Mu Lan’s death. For so many years, it was undeniable that Li Shiyu was afraid not to see Mu Lan.
But in the coffin Mu Lan, because is the extremely cold crystal coffin, instead is lets Mu Lan’s appearance protect extremely well, Li Shiyu looks at heavily. Not for
a moment.
Through the transparent crystal coffin, Li Shiyu can not see any clues, the sleeping person in front of him is like Mu Lan, but now, the impulse in Li Shiyu’s mind has become more and more obvious.
He looked at Mu Lan, and suddenly Li Shiyu calmly said, “Lan, I have offended you.”
The voice fell, Li Shiyu’s internal force together, soon opened Mu Lan’s coffin, and in contact with the outside air, the original lifelike person inside, but suddenly rapidly shrank up, this behavior, is disrespectful to the dead.
But Li Shiyu did so, his face did not change color
, he quietly looked at everything in the coffin, silent.
And the original beautiful face gradually began to decay, until the end, completely unable to see everything in the face, but Li Shiyu was motionless, until the body in the coffin completely changed.
Then, Li Shiyu bowed his head. Instead of being
angry, he laughed softly and raised a mask of human skin in the coffin, which would not decay with time and air.
So, the person in this coffin is not Mu Lan.
Such an answer, so that Li Shiyu’s eyebrows and eyes impregnated with a faint smile, as if years of depression in the heart of the dull, all of a sudden waved away. What happened
before, happened quickly and urgently, which made Li Shiyu completely ignore these, and failed to notice this, coupled with Mu Lan’s transfiguration superb, Li Shiyu is able to discover, including the matter of Wanxianglou, but also Mu Lan’s transfiguration in a hurry, so there will be flaws. If
Mu Lan is really serious, Li Shiyu wants to find out that it is too difficult.
Just like the person who changes the skin, Mu Lan’s technology has been superb.
So at that time, under such circumstances, coupled with excessive sadness, so Li Shiyu never noticed these, and now, many things, after stripping the cocoon, Li Shiyu noticed that something was wrong.
Today to the imperial mausoleum, Li Shiyu is not a whim.
But in Li Yan’s words, more and more affirmed their own ideas and practices.
And now everything tells Li Shiyu that the person in the coffin is not Mu Lan, but the person who has been transformed into Mu Lan.
But when the coffin fell to the ground, the guards outside heard the noise and rushed in: “Your Majesty, what happened?”
The tone was anxious and nervous.
As a result, when he saw Li Shiyu and the coffin that was broken on the ground, the guard’s face changed, his face shocked, and he could not believe what he had seen. The body of the
late empress was destroyed by Li Shiyu himself.
Now the guards looked at each other.
But Li Shiyu’s face was calm: “Clean up this place. Don’t keep this body. I don’t want to see it again.”
The guard was stunned.
You know, this is Mu Lan’s body, but also the most important place in the imperial mausoleum, and now, Li Shiyu suddenly said such words, it is no wonder that the guards can not accept.
But the holy will cannot be disobeyed.
The bodyguard hurried forward, looking at the discomfited corpse, for a while and a half will be completely unresponsive, some feeling at a loss. But in the end, he lowered his head and lifted the body quickly.
When he reached the gate of the imperial tomb, Li Shiyu suddenly said, “Don’t go out through the main gate. No one is allowed to say a word about what happened today. Do you hear me?”
“Yes.” The bodyguard trembled slightly and looked at Li Shiyu’s eyes, which became much more frightened.
“If there is a third person who knows what happened today, be prepared to come to him.” Li Shiyu’s words do not take the mood of a joke, that look also appears to be much sharper.
“Yes.” The trembling voice of the guards became more obvious.
Soon, the body was cleared out, Li Shiyu grabbed the face in his hand, and then leisurely put it away, and then walked out of the imperial mausoleum.
Cheng Dezhu has been waiting outside and has not left. When
Li Shiyu came out, his face was calm, and Cheng Dezhu did not see any clue. “Your Majesty, where are you going now?” He asked.
“Deqing Palace.” Li Shiyu said directly.
Cheng Dezhu nodded, Li Shiyu quickly toward the direction of the Deqing Palace, his heartbeat is very fast, it is a kind of rapid jump dynamic, indescribable emotional excitement, but in the face does not show any clues.
Why doesn’t Mulan want to admit it.
Why did this happen? What happened during
this period?
These questions, constantly appear in Li Shiyu’s mind, and Li Shiyu also knows Mu Lan, if Mu Lan is not willing to admit things, you do not get absolute evidence before, you can not let Mu Lan nod.
Li Shiyu sank, clenched his fist, and then calmly walked in the direction of the Deqing Palace. In the middle of the
walk, the little eunuch not far away had hurried over, heading in the direction of the Royal Dragon Hall.
Li Shiyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he recognized the slave in front of him, who was in the palace of the imperial concubine Xi.
Stop. When did it happen? In such a hurry. Cheng Dezhu stopped the other party at the first time. When
the little eunuch saw that it was Li Shiyu and Cheng Dezhu, he immediately knelt down and said, “See the emperor, slave! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!”
Then the little eunuch went on, panting, “Your Majesty, it’s no good. Empress Shufei had a fight with Concubine Xi in Imperial Garden. Concubine Xi was thrown to the ground and was injured. The doctor has gone. The slave is going to the Dragon Palace to tell the emperor.”
This, let Li Shiyu’s eyebrows twist up, and Cheng Dezhu’s face also appears unexpected. Although she was not familiar with
the imperial concubine at all, she had never even talked with her, but Cheng Dezhu knew more or less about the imperial concubine in the past few months. The imperial concubine was so weak that people felt incredible, not to mention the conflict with these concubines. Even in the Deqing Palace, the imperial concubine almost never left.
So today this matter-
but Cheng Dezhu did not open his mouth, in the palace for many years, Cheng Dezhu is very clear, behind these concubines, there are immeasurable forces, and this Shu Fei, is a lonely person, in this case, it is extremely difficult to balance.
And Li Shiyu’s eyebrows twisted, listening to the little eunuch’s words, quiet for a moment, footsteps hurriedly toward the direction of the Imperial Garden.
Cheng Dezhu did not dare to neglect, immediately followed up. I’m afraid the palace is not peaceful
today.
…… In the
Imperial Garden.
Mu Lan was dragged by Aofeng, Aofeng was not left by Taifu today, and Li Shiyu did not appear in Deqing Palace as usual today, which made Aofeng empty, holding Mu Lan tightly, and did not want to be with anyone at all.
Now Mulan’s identity is already your imperial concubine, naturally can also freely enter and exit the Imperial Garden, the Imperial Garden is the best place in the imperial palace scenery, here is also the most appropriate paper kite.
So as soon as Aofeng came back from Taifu and found that Li Shiyu was not there, he immediately pulled Mulan to the Imperial Garden. Mulan seldom left the Deqing Palace, nor did he like the excitement. He knew that he would meet all kinds of people in the Imperial Garden, so he never appeared in the Imperial Garden.
But recently is not able to bear the proud wind request, Mu Lan this only then accompanies the proud wind to appear in the Imperial Garden.
Ao Feng managed to fly the kite and ran excitedly in the Imperial Garden.
Mu Lan did not follow, her body did not allow, so she sat quietly on the pavilion, but Mu Lan’s eyes did not move away from Aofeng’s body, staring at Aofeng, for fear of any accident, after all, Mu Lan understood Aofeng, Aofeng crazy play, completely regardless.
Under such circumstances, Mu Lan naturally ignored the people coming not far away.
“Sister Xi, Sister De Fei, look at this Shu Fei. She really doesn’t care about you at all. You’re all in front of her, ignoring your existence.” With a discontented look on his face, Yi Guiren sowed dissension and lobbied between Xi Guifei and De Fei.
Yi Guiren was a person who entered the palace two years ago. Although he was given the title of noble, he was only favored by the emperor once, and then there was no news. This made Yi Guiren extremely dissatisfied, but no matter how Yi Guiren moved, it seemed that there was no effect.
I never expected Li Shiyu to come again.
But in front of Xi Guifei and De Fei are not the same, this is the most favored person by Li Shiyu, especially Xi Guifei.
Everyone said that Xi Guifei and the late queen were very similar, both in manner and conduct, so people in the palace said that Xi Guifei was most likely to be the mother of the world. Naturally, although there was no queen in the harem, Xi Guifei was also the leader of the harem.
Until the appearance of Mu Lan, everything has changed,
Li Shiyu did not appear in the palace of two people, all the time has been given to Mu Lan, even the prince has been handed over to the hands of Mu Lan, which can not be hated.
Just the surface, no one dares to say anything, dare to do anything, after all, Li Shiyu in the Deqing Palace.
The most important thing is that Mu Lan has never left the Deqing Palace. If you really want to attack Mu Lan, you can’t find a suitable opportunity. Such an opportunity
today will naturally not be missed.
In the chatter of Yi Guiren, Xi Guifei’s face sank slightly, but it was quiet. “Sister,” said
De Fei gloating, “look at this Shu Fei. She really doesn’t care about you at all. You’re going to walk in front of Shu Fei. Maybe Shu Fei doesn’t care about you. After all, it’s Shu Fei who is favored in the palace now.” A
peaceful harem does not mean that it is really peaceful.
That’s just a superficial calm. The contest between
De Fei and Xi Guifei has never stopped from the beginning to the present, but De Fei has always been at a disadvantage.
But the German imperial concubine is clear, Xi imperial concubine surface calm and calm, is not really calm and calm, Xi imperial concubine’s goal has always been the back seat, and this back seat, also seems to be in the bag, but now, out of a Cheng Yaojin.
Xi Guifei will not be indifferent. In the
view of the imperial concubine, as long as the imperial concubine Xi and the imperial concubine Shu quarrel, the two clams will inevitably benefit the fisherman, and what she wants to do is this fisherman.
So Concubine De is sparing no effort to sow dissension: “Sister Xi, you see, this back seat was originally yours, and now there is a Concubine Shu. Although Concubine Shu’s appearance is not amazing, her seductive kungfu can tie the emperor to death. If Concubine Shu blows the pillow wind, it is uncertain that the position of the empress will eventually come, and it will be empty. You, ah.” We can’t allow this to happen, or the harem will be in chaos.
De Fei’s words were cadenced, but every word was knocked in the heart of Xi Guifei, and the feeling of discomfort became more and more obvious.
But the German imperial concubine looked at the Xi imperial concubine to change the facial expression, knew that own words were effective.
Xi Guifei’s kindness is superficial, over the years, any attempt to get close to Li Shiyu in the palace, or a little bit of favor of the new people, will quietly disappear from the palace, even if found a reason, is also aboveboard. The position of the imperial concubine
Xi is still standing.
In addition, Xi Guifei’s family was also a patriarch of three Dynasties. When Li Shiyu ascended the throne, she stood firmly on Li Shiyu. This is why Xi Guifei was the most likely candidate for the next empress in the palace.
“Defei, watch your language. Don’t say anything casually.” Xi Guifei opened her mouth lightly.
“Yes, I know.” De Fei appears to be obedient.
And under such circumstances, the imperial concubine Xi looked at Mu Lan in the pavilion not far away, this Mu Lan, the appearance is not surprising, quiet, even if left in the crowd, will not be more than a look, any slave in the palace, probably better than Mu Lan.
But it happened that when such a person appeared in front of you, you could not help feeling nervous and frightened, as if you had seen Li Shiyu himself.
That kind of natural dignity is by no means something that happens overnight.
At first, Xi Guifei really didn’t put Mu Lan in her eyes. For Ao Feng, Xi Guifei was also indifferent. Apart from the initial ingratiation, she found that it was useless. Xi Guifei no longer bothered about Ao Feng. As long as she was pregnant, the replacement of the prince was also a matter of day and night.
After all, Ao Feng has long lost his backing, and she naturally can not be compared.
But now, the Xi imperial concubine’s eye light one face, sank down, some matters, already quickly formed the idea in her mind, was extremely cruel.
Then, Xi Guifei walked in the direction of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan is quietly drinking tea, back to Xi Guifei and others, naturally can not find.
Hsiao-lien was the first to notice it, and she immediately looked at Mulan and said, “Empress, they’re here.”
Xiaolian’s voice is very low.
Mulan Leng for a moment, but also soon calm down, in the Imperial Garden to meet the concubines of the harem again normal, but she did not think much.
And Xiaolian has knelt down to pay her respects.
Mu Lan turned around and was about to pay his respects when the strange voice of Concubine De came: “Who is this palace saying? It’s Empress Shu. This palace is really disrespectful.”. The people in the palace came to pay their respects when they saw which of Xi’s concubines hadn’t come all the way. This Shu was special. It wasn’t until Xi’s sister was in front of her that she turned around. She was really a person who had been favored by the emperor and couldn’t be offended.
De Fei’s words are not polite at all, Yin and Yang strange to the extreme.
Mu Lan calmly took a look at the imperial concubine, just a glance, the imperial concubine on some tension, can not say sharp, but people can not help but tremble.
And Mu Lan is only a glance, has withdrawn the eyes.
This kind of trick is not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of Mu Lan, when Mu Lan is playing these, De Fei still does not know where it is.
Mu Lan paid no attention, but made a light greeting: “I have seen the Imperial Concubine Xi, the Imperial Concubine De.”
Also tightly so, and did not continue to say anything, not even the meaning of conversation.
Hsi’s brows twisted, but she appeared calm: “Is Shu Fei enjoying the flowers at the Imperial Garden?”
“Back to the empress, I’m just accompanying the prince to fly paper kites here.” Mu Lan said calmly, and did not have much emotional reaction.
“Shu Fei is really a very leisurely person.” Concubine Xi smiled faintly for a moment. “Probably no one in this palace would have thought that the prince could be so friendly with Concubine Shu.”
Mu Lan smiled and said naturally, “The prince is just a child. The child sees most clearly who is good to himself and who is bad to himself.”. If the minister and his concubine are sincere, the relationship between the prince and the minister and his concubine will naturally be harmonious.
This sounds plain, but there is a hint of sarcasm, as if in front of the sarcastic person. Haven’t
they ever fawned on Ao Feng? It’s just that they don’t have much patience, so Ao Feng naturally can’t be good with them.
They should also make trouble for Aofeng in private.
Although Aofeng is small, it does not mean that Aofeng is not clear.
Ao Feng has a memory to remember things clearly, in front of the people, see Ao Feng, no less threats and intimidation Ao Feng, even the side of the slave can be bold when Ao Feng does not exist. Some people
even dare to say to Aofeng that if the empress gives birth to a prince, you will lose the position of the crown prince.
Mu Lan’s complexion is naturally impossible to be good.
Aofeng is her child. How can she allow anyone to bully Aofeng.
But in the palace, Mu Lan also knows how to keep a low profile, but keeping a low profile does not mean that Mu Lan can indulge such things.
“You’re talking about mulberry and Huai!” “You’re just a concubine,” she said with a sneer. “You’re not qualified to be in front of this palace.”
Mu Lan raised her eyebrows: “What are the qualifications?”
“Concubine De, don’t be rude.” The imperial concubine Xi scolded the imperial concubine De. Concu
bine De looked at Concubine Xi with grievance and said, “Sister, look at Concubine Shu’s attitude. It’s clear that she doesn’t care about you. If this goes on, there won’t even be a rule in the harem.”. Is it because of the emperor’s favor that he is so arrogant?
Xi’s eyes sank. “Does Shu Fei mean that?” If
the empress thinks I have a concubine, then I have one. If the empress thinks that I don’t have it, then I don’t have it. After all, the empress already knows what I say and what I do, and she’s already convicted. Then I can’t argue with what I say, can I? Mu Lan is direct.
She doesn’t want to deal here. There’s nothing to deal with.
Her mind in Aofeng that, behind the Imperial Garden is the back hill of the imperial palace, Aofeng naughty, may not take the paper kite to the back hill, although the back hill is empty, but the back hill is not as safe as here.
Mu Lan wants to see Ao Feng.
“If it’s all right, I won’t bother you.” Mu Lan nodded and then called out to Hsiao Lien. “Hsiao Lien, go with me to the back of the palace and look for the prince.”
“Yes.” Xiao Lian answered.
But under such circumstances, Xiaolian is particularly nervous, subconsciously looking at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan’s eyes lightly fell on Xiaolian’s body, is to appease Xiaolian, it is a feeling of having enough chest, Xiaolian seems to be in such a comfort, it gradually calmed down.
Soon, Xiao Lian kept up with Mu Lan.
“Stop.” Her voice sank as she spoke. “Princess Shu, I didn’t let you go.”
Mu Lan, however, stood down and looked at Xi Guifei with a half-smile. Her attitude was quite good. “What else does the empress have to say to my concubine?”
A word, and easily put the words of the imperial concubine Xi to the mouth to block.
De Fei is still fanning the flames: “Sister, look at Shu Fei. She doesn’t care about you at all. Even the slaves on the side are like this. They haven’t been taught a good lesson.”
Xi imperial concubine was de imperial concubine arch up, not up or down, if today here do not teach Mu Lan, that is to embarrass themselves, how can they gain a foothold in the palace in the future, but really taught Mu Lan, that is the meaning of de imperial concubine.
“Come on, slap me in the mouth. The master’s rules in the palace are not good. It’s obvious that the slaves around him didn’t warn me properly. If the rules of the harem are broken, it’s all right.” Although
this is not directed at Mu Lan, it is directed at Xiao Lian.
But killing the chicken to make an example of the monkey could not be more obvious. The Mammy on the side of
Xi Guifei immediately stepped forward and slapped Xiaolian in the face without thinking. You know, these Mammy are famous for being fierce in the palace on weekdays. In addition, they are the people on the side of Xi Guifei. In the palace, who doesn’t give them a few points.
These time come, Xi imperial concubine is not favored, Mammy people also are the heart is unwilling, had an opportunity now, nature can give vent to mercilessly.
Xiaolian panicked and did not want to kneel down and ask for mercy.
As a result, Mu Lan lightly helped Xiaolian up: “Get up, you are a member of this palace. This palace has not asked you to kneel. Why do you kneel? Besides, what’s wrong with you?”
Xiaolian looked at Mu Lan in amazement, constantly hinting that Mu Lan should not conflict with Xi Guifei.
But Mu Lan seems to ignore the hint of Xiaolian, eyes do not blink, Xiaolian is Mu Lan’s maidservant, naturally dare not disobey the meaning of Mu Lan, stood up.
This is undoubtedly a provocation to the imperial concubine Xi. Concu
bine Xi’s face changed, and this time her eyes were no longer polite: “Concubine Shu really doesn’t care about this palace at all.”
My concubine didn’t dare. I just know what to do and what not to do. Mu Lan said directly and calmly, “I don’t need to follow the vexatious things.”. Even if the trouble goes to the emperor, my ministers and concubines are in the right.
“You..” Xi Guifei’s face is getting colder and colder.
Into the palace for many years, when and where suffered such humiliation, this palace, who is not coaxing themselves, only Mu Lan.
“Sister, isn’t this all about being spoiled?” De Fei gloated and waited to see the meaning of the good play.
Mu Lan is also calm.
But Concubine Xi sneered, “Since Concubine Shu doesn’t obey the rules and has no decency, I can’t blame this palace.”. Come on, slap me in the mouth!
Mammy was so impolite that she waved her hand and hit Xiaolian heavily, while another Mammy hit Mulan.
Mu Lan sneered.
Even though there was no internal force, it did not mean that Mu Lan’s reaction was really slow. She clasped Mammy’s hand for the first time, and then looked sullenly at Mammy who was trying to slap herself.
Mammy seemed to be startled by Mu Lan.
Mu Lan’s palm had no strength, but when he tried his best, it was enough to make Mammy hurt, and Mammy screamed.
And Mu Lan’s voice came coldly: “De Fei knows that this palace is favored, so she should be smart enough to learn to shut up, instead of constantly provoking this palace here, which is not good for De Fei.”. You know, in this harem, the favored people have the right to speak. Is Concubine De sure that this palace will not be able to take the place of the imperial concubine, or is she sure that this palace and Concubine Xi will certainly fight, so that you, the fisherman, will benefit?
This, Mu Lan said without hesitation.
De Fei did not expect Mu Lan so not to give face, all of a sudden changed face.
Not only de imperial concubine, even the side of the Xi imperial concubine and instrument noble also changed face, you know, in the harem for so many years, never dare someone so many Xi imperial concubine to speak, the cold Mu Lan came out like this, everyone is also looking at each other.
Even the slaves, who had seen nothing strange, looked at it strangely.
Xi Guifei is unable to get off the stage, she was completely set up, Mu Lan’s words, is not to give face, let her lose face in front of these concubines and slaves.
The most important thing is that the old Mammy beside him was even taught a lesson by Mu Lan.
Xi Guifei’s face changed again and again.
Even though Mu Lan’s words were directed at De Fei before, the fire was directed at him. Xi Guifei could not swallow this tone.
Even when the queen was still alive, no one in the harem had ever embarrassed her so much.
At this point, Xi Guifei sent out a long cold laugh, looking at Mu Lan’s face, more and more gloomy, but before she could open her mouth, De Fei seemed to come to her senses in this matter, suddenly rushed up, backhand will give Mu Lan a slap in the face.
Mu Lan’s speed is very fast, when the German imperial concubine has not touched oneself, her palm has already hit the German imperial concubine.
De Fei is such a charming woman, how can she stand such humiliation and slap, the whole person fell to the ground, shocked and humiliated: “You..” Hsu Chen-chen, are you rebelling?
“Is it?” Mu Lan looked coldly at De Fei. Crying, Concu
bine De turned around and hugged Concubine Xi’s leg. “Sister, you have to make decisions for your sister. If such a woman stays in the harem, sooner or later she will be in chaos.”. But the emperor gave his sister the right to command the harem, and her sister could naturally clean up such a person. Sister, you see, this Xu Zhen even you do not give face, after this is to domineering in the harem? There are no rules at all. De imperial concubine
wants is Xi imperial concubine to start, that looks at Mu Lan’s eyes to be extremely sinister, is beaten this ear photon, how can De imperial concubine not get back.
This harem, in the face of Xi Guifei what to say, what should not say, she knows better than anyone, how to make Xi Guifei angry, she is also very clear.
De Fei cried with tears on her face.
And Mu Lan always watched, motionless.
Today this matter, is impossible to be good, Mu Lan knows, but this does not mean that Mu Lan will beg for mercy under such circumstances, because Mu Lan is very clear, even if beg for mercy, today is also unable to pass.
She’s never been one to duck.
All the way, Mu Lan looked at the chaotic people in front of him, standing, but wanted to see what else could be done next.
“Oh,” said Xi Guifei with a sneer, and her eyes fell on Mu Lan. “De Fei is right. This palace house is kind. What did Shu Fei do? Is she going to rebel?”
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and kept quiet.
“Since this palace is the head of the harem, naturally it will not give up on such a thing.” Her eyes sank, and a trace of malice flashed through them. “Somebody, arrest Concubine Shu in this palace.”
The bodyguard did not dare to disobey, but immediately replied, “Yes.”
Mu Lan stood, not even struggling, the bodyguard approached Mu Lan, but seemed to be abruptly frightened by the momentum of Mu Lan, is really some fear, the footsteps stopped. “Are you going to rebel, too?” Annoyed the
princess when she saw this. Only then did the
guards come to their senses, but Mu Lan said calmly, “Xi Guifei, in the harem, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are all there. If the emperor had not set up a queen, it would not be Xi Guifei’s turn to command the harem.”. If the emperor has issued a decree, where is it?
Xi Guifei listened to Mu Lan’s tricky words and could not answer at all.
If you don’t even have such a decree, Xi Guifei should know that Xi Guifei is just an imperial concubine. This palace is the imperial concubine, or at least the imperial concubine. There is a difference of two ranks, but Xi Guifei has no right to attack this palace. Those who want to attack this palace are only the empress, or now the empress Dowager and the empress Dowager. Is it clear to tell everyone — “
said, Mu Lan paused, such a light smile full of sarcasm,” Xi Guifei really regard themselves as the queen? Are you in a hurry to get on top?
A word pierced the mind of Xi Guifei.
“You..” Xi Guifei’s voice trembled, and the concubines and nobles on the side did not dare to pit their voices at all.
They and the bodyguard are the same feeling, Mu Lan looks gentle and gentle, its appearance is not good, but in this case, that kind of natural momentum, but as if she is the leader of the harem, and completely people can not resist.
“Is there a problem with what I said?” Mu Lan is not impatient to ask, step by step toward the direction of Xi Guifei.
Xi Guifei’s Qi and blood attack the heart.
But her heart is more clear, this Mu Lan is not to stay, keep Mu Lan will only bring endless trouble to themselves.
Because Xi Guifei knew very well why she could endure in Li Shiyu’s heart, not for anything else, but for her look in the eyes of the late queen, and between the lines, she imitated the every move of the late queen.
But after all, it’s just an imitation.
But in front of this ugly person, but as if out of the late queen’s momentum, the people present are afraid that they have already felt something. If
you stay, there will be endless trouble.
Xi took a deep breath and gradually calmed herself down: “What a sharp-tongued imperial concubine!”
“I’m flattered.” Mu Lan remained aloof. “If there’s nothing to do, I won’t bother the imperial concubine.”
As a result, just as Mu Lan was about to leave, Concubine Xi suddenly said, “Does Concubine Shu want to get into trouble and leave calmly?”? This is a dream. No one has ever dared to disobey what I have said. Come and invite Concubine Shu to my palace. I want to ask her carefully.
Xi imperial concubine in the palace for many years, such momentum should also be there.
The bodyguard answered respectfully and soon walked toward Mu Lan.
This is the meaning of taking Mu Lan away.
Mu Lan knew very well that he was going to the palace of the imperial concubine Xi, and he was afraid that he had no ability to resist at all. He really had a conflict with these bodyguards, and Mu Lan did not think he had got it. When
she twisted her eyebrows and was still thinking about how to deal with it, Aofeng suddenly rushed out of the small garden beside her. Seeing such a picture, Aofeng’s temper suddenly came up.
“Who dares to touch the king’s mother and concubine? Is this a rebellion?” Ao Feng kept a straight face and scolded him in a cold voice.
“I see your Highness, the prince. Your Highness is a thousand years old. A thousand years old.” The concubines and slaves on one side knelt down.
And Ao Feng completely ignored, directly toward the direction of Mu Lan, he is waiting inside, waiting for Mu Lan to find himself, but the result did not expect, until such a picture.
But the Xi imperial concubine sees such picture, the complexion sinks, the next moment is also does not want to push away the proud wind directly.
In the eyes of Xi Guifei, Aofeng is nothing more than a prince who is not favored. For so many years, Li Shiyu has never seen Aofeng. The position of the prince is nothing more than for the sake of the late queen. Even when Xi Guifei and Li Shiyu chat, Li Shiyu never mentions the prince. Even if
this topic is raised by Xi Guifei, Li Shiyu will soon bring the topic away. During
this period of time, Xi Guifei knew that Li Shiyu had been in the Deqing Palace, and also knew that Aofeng had been going to the Deqing Palace. In Xi Guifei’s view, all this was nothing more than Mu Lan and Aofeng borrowing from each other. Aofeng wanted to regain his position in Li Shiyu’s heart, while Mu Lan was doing it for Li Shiyu.
So in the face of Ao Feng, Xi Guifei has always had no scruples, but in the past, Xi Guifei also knew how to converge, but now she is angry from embarrassment by Mu Lan, Xi Guifei will no longer have so many scruples.
What’s more, this Ao Feng was originally the person to deal with, but now, it’s just ahead of schedule.
Xi Guifei’s eyes flashed a trace of evil and ruthless, quick, accurate and ruthless without leaving a little room.
This season, the lake in Imperial Garden looks crystal clear, but it is very deep, Aofeng such a person fell into the lake, I am afraid that life is not long, and this is in front of Xi Guifei’s people, can go into the water, but also can delay time, she wants the life of Aofeng.
“Ao Feng!” Mu Lan exclaimed. Without
thinking about it, Mu Lan wants to go down to save Aofeng. The people around him are motionless. Aofeng doesn’t know how to swim. He struggles desperately in the lake: “Niang..” Mother..
A mouthful of lake water choked up.
And Mu Lan rushed down, but was directly pulled, completely do not give Mu Lan opportunity to enter the water, Mu Lan understand that this is to be proud of the wind to death.
Mu Lan sneers, such a thing, before the palace has happened countless. How many lives are hidden at the bottom of the lake in
Imperial Garden, such a picture is so familiar, Mulan can turn a deaf ear, she is not the Virgin Mary, can not save all the people, but now the accident is Aofeng, Mulan can not turn a blind eye.
Even if she has no internal force now, even if she has no ability to resist in front of these people now, but the instinctive reaction is still there.
Mu Lan suddenly forced, and Xi Guifei had already moved towards Mu Lan. Mu Lan gave Xi Guifei a slap in the face with a backhand: “If something happens to Ao Feng, I will let you pay with your life.”
Xi Guifei was stunned. Everyone
present was shocked. Without thinking about it,
Mu Lan jumped directly into the lake and said, “Ao Feng, Niang is here.”
She has no internal force, does not mean that Mu Lan has no water, Ao Feng seems to see Mu Lan, struggling more happy, but obviously just a few years old child, that strength gradually began to weaken.
“Listen to Niang. Don’t struggle. Just keep yourself afloat. Struggling will only make you lose your strength. Niang will come right away.” Mu Lan calmly ordered Ao Feng word by word.
Ao Feng in such a command, gradually calm down.
“Good. Mother will be here soon.” Mu Lan struggled to swim in the direction of the proud wind.
She knew that she had to be faster, faster, Ao Feng could not hold up, but Mu Lan could not get up at all. When
the seeping lake water surrounds Mu Lan, it makes Mu Lan shiver, and almost instantly it can empty all the nerves of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was afraid that she would not be able to get close to Ao Feng.
She is desperately holding on: “Wait for Niang, Ao Feng, hold on.”
The imperial concubine made it clear that she was going to be cruel to Ao Feng, so she threw Ao Feng into the center of the lake, which was also the deepest place. Mulan remembered that the lake in Imperial Garden was connected to the rivers and lakes outside, and when she was really involved in it, she could not save Ao Feng. Just then, Xi Guifei, who was
on the shore, seemed to come to her senses: “You know how to do it.”
Her sullen opening.
These are the people around Xi Guifei, how can not understand the meaning of Xi Guifei, Xi Guifei did not want to let Aofeng and Mulan live, what they have to do is to let them die in the lake.
And the people at the scene, except the people of Xi Guifei, are afraid that they will not be able to live today.
And Xi Guifei’s words, Mu Lan keenly heard.
She’s faster.
Ao Feng has been unable to support. A whirlpool suddenly formed at the bottom of the
lake, and the proud wind was spinning with the whirlpool.
Mu Lan exclaimed, “Don’t –”
“Niang –” Ao Feng gave a miserable cry.
Mu Lan’s face is white and white, her hand very not easy to touch the proud wind, but along with this whirlpool, directly opened Mu Lan’s hand and the proud wind.
The scene was once dangerous. Outside the
Imperial Garden, some people heard the noise one after another and rushed to the scene. “Hurry up,” the voice of
Xi Guifei was extremely fierce.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flew over the lake and quickly brought the two people in the lake up directly.
“Pass on the imperial physician.” Mu Zhanxiao fell to the ground with a burst of panic in his eyes.
Soon, the palace guards rushed in quickly, and when they saw such a picture, they were shocked: “Yes.”
Mu Zhanxiao picked up Ao Feng, and Mu Lan’s voice came. Her lips were pale: “Quick..” Save.. Ao Feng..
And Mu Lan’s voice was already intermittent, the soles of his feet were weak, and everything in front of him looked very dark, as if he was going to faint in the next moment.
“Shu Fei,” Mu Zhanxiao exclaimed.
Hsiao-lien held up Mu Lan for the first time. Without thinking, she said, Lord Mu, the crown prince and the imperial concubine were both pushed down by the imperial concubine Xi. They did nothing to save the prince and his concubine from death.
“You cheap maidservant.” Without thinking, Mammy next to Concubine Xi would slap Xiaolian in the face. “Who gave you the courage to plant the Empress?”
Before even dare to be presumptuous, but in front of Mu Zhanxiao, they are still honest, Mu Zhanxiao’s position in the palace, people know clearly, can not tolerate them a little presumptuous, the most important thing is, Mu Zhanxiao or Wang Ye.
In terms of rank, Mu Zhanxiao is higher than others.
So in front of Mu Zhanxiao, Xi Guifei naturally wanted to pick herself clean for the first time, this time it was Mu Lan and Ao Feng, but the next time it was not. But even now under such circumstances, Xi Guifei also has nothing to fear.
“Is it permissible for you to be presumptuous in the presence of the king?” Mu Zhanxiao gave a sneer. “Somebody, put this Diao Nu in prison.”
Mammy was stunned. Concu
bine Xi looked at Mu Zhanxiao and said, Lord Mu, this is a man from this palace. Mammy just couldn’t bear to see the little slave slander my palace so much, so she said cruel words and asked Wang Yeh to give my palace some face.
This is to remind Mu Zhanxiao.
Mu Zhanxiao, who was completely unimpressed, sneered, “Concubine Xi has the heart to protect this slave. Why don’t you think about how to explain it to the emperor?”
This matter, afraid is Li Shiyu also already knew, make so big, Mu Zhanxiao came, the imperial guards naturally the first time will inform Li Shiyu.
Mu Lan shook his head at Mu Zhan Xiao, his pale face hanging by a thread, and the maintenance of the past few months seemed to have fallen short of success at this moment.
And Xi Guifei in Mu Zhanxiao’s words, eyes flashed a trace of panic, but on the surface, she has always been very calm, the side of the old Mammy has been taken away directly by the guards, let her cry, also to no avail.
At this very moment-
“When on earth did you make such a noise?” Li Shiyu’s tall figure appeared in the Imperial Garden, and when Li Shiyu saw the scene, Li Shiyu’s face suddenly changed, and his eyes flashed through the dark and cruel, which no one had ever seen before. The chaos at the
scene made Li Shiyu quickly look at the people present. The people
present immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
Li Shiyu never asked about the harem, but it does not mean that Li Shiyu is not clear about these things in the harem, but Li Shiyu never thought that one day, these people would have the courage to move to the head of Ao Feng and Mu Lan.
Li Shi-yu was not in a hurry to deal with the matter. After inspecting the crowd, he calmly ordered, “Send the imperial concubine and the crown prince back to the Deqing Palace.”
Li Shiyu voice fell, Mu Zhanxiao nodded, immediately picked up the proud wind, and Li Shiyu walked to the front of Mu Lan in front of everyone, want to also can’t think of the waist to pick up Mu Lan. Nothing
will happen. I won’t let anything happen to you. Li Shiyu muttered to himself, and Mu Lan just smiled at Li Shiyu and fainted.
Li Shiyu’s face changed, and he flew directly away from the Imperial Garden.
At this point, the Imperial Garden was suddenly quiet.
People do not want to leave, stay here, is absolutely a thankless thing, and Xi Guifei nature is no exception. As
a result, when they were about to leave, Long Shaoyun, who had followed Li Shiyu in, coldly ordered: “No one is allowed to leave without the order of the emperor. We can only wait in place for Imperial Garden.”
“Not even in this palace?” Xi Guifei asked Long Shaoyun calmly.
Now, Xi Guifei did not expect to make such a big noise, she only annoyed Mu Lan and Ao Feng did not die in the lake, but was rescued, as long as a while, the two people can not escape.
And now,
“Empress, this is an oral order from the emperor, and I ask the empress not to embarrass me.” Long Shaoyun is not in a hurry, but there is no compromise between his lines.
Xi Guifei takes a deep breath.
Long Shaoyun claimed that he was a humble minister, which was a mockery.
Long Shaoyun is an important official in the court, even if her grandfather is a veteran of three Dynasties, but under such circumstances, compared with Long Shaoyun, it still seems that people speak lightly, you know, Long Shaoyun’s hands are holding the military power of Dazhou, plus the personal relationship with Mu Zhanxiao is very good, and Li Shiyu is a friend of life. It’s no good to have a conflict
with Long Shao Yun.
As soon as Long Shaoyun’s words came out, the people present did not dare to go, and they all looked at each other with panic in their eyes.
Xi Guifei naturally knows better that the people present are not completely submissive, just like De Fei, who looks respectful on the surface, but who doesn’t want to replace herself as the head of the harem. Quiet in the
Imperial Garden.
Long Shaoyun’s eyes were looking in the direction of the Deqing Palace, but he did not leave, standing in the Imperial Garden with his hands on his back.
Suddenly there was a cry of surprise,
“Empress,” and then came the chaos of war.
Long Shaoyun immediately turned around and looked at the scene. The imperial concubine Xi had fainted. The slaves were in a mess. Long Shaoyun twisted his eyebrows, apparently with some surprise.
“Send the imperial concubine back to her bedroom.” Long Shaoyun decisively ordered.
The slaves did not dare to hesitate, and immediately sent Xi Guifei back to her bedroom, and within Imperial Garden, she fell into a strange silence.
Long Shaoyun silently looked in the direction of Xi’s departure and said quickly, “Let the imperial physician go to Xi’s place.”
“Yes.” One side of the slave received the order, and hurried toward the imperial hospital.
Long Shaoyun did not leave, nor did he speak.
The situation suddenly became strange.
You know, the mother’s family of Xi Guifei is also the patriarch of the three Dynasties of Dazhou. When Li Shiyu ascended the throne, they also gave great support, not to mention the branch of the empress Dowager. In other words, today’s matter, without looking at the monk’s face and the Buddha’s face, it is impossible to take Xi Guifei.
After all, Li Shiyu has to take the overall situation into account. No matter how
Mu Lan is favored, it is nothing more than a concubine, plus no background, no one can support, if the imperial concubine Xi bites back again, it is hard to say.
But now the situation, Xi Guifei is still in a coma, Long Shaoyun always feel that there is something happening.
Sinking, he stood where he was, motionless, with a deep meaning hidden in his low eyebrows and eyes.
