Give you the promise
of Phoenix Nirvana: the path
of glory and favor of the demon queen of the country “Linglong is outside.” Li Shi-yu says, “When you come over, no one notices, just like when you go to my place, no one notices.”
Mu Lan stopped talking again. What’s the point of
asking this person to involve himself out of the blue?
This man is really annoying.
Before he could get angry, Li Shiyu’s deep voice suddenly said, “The porridge is delicious.”
A word, let Mu Lan completely silenced, Leng Buding was mentioned by this person to send their own porridge, unexpectedly had a sense of shyness. The
white skin was slightly red, but it was soon covered by Mu Lan.
But Li Shiyu did not seem to let go of Mu Lan’s meaning, thin lips against Mu Lan’s ear, intentionally or unintentionally bit, neither light nor heavy, as if in the original calm lake, suddenly dropped a stone, people were caught off guard.
Mu Lan raised his head in protest.
Li Shi-yu, however, naturally lowered his head and kissed him. “How do you know I’m not feeling well?” He asked with a smile on his face.
Mu Lan did not answer.
Can not tell Li Shiyu, along the way, although did not say a word with Li Shiyu, but Mu Lan’s line of sight will always appear in Li Shiyu, unconsciously fall on this person. Everything
around seemed to be emptied, and only Li Shiyu’s voice was left in his ears.
Naturally, you can notice the difference between this person and the usual one.
But Mu Lan, looking at Li Shiyu’s face, had already gathered all his emotions and said lightly, “It’s too much, so I’ll send it over, otherwise it’s a waste to keep it.”
Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows.
Mu Lan sat quietly, but still subconsciously moved toward the side, the man looked a little guilty.
“If you don’t send a copy to Lung Shao-yun, will you send it to me?” Li Shiyu asked intentionally or unintentionally. “All right,”
said Mulan with an angry laugh, “next time I’ll make a special trip to send it to General Long.”
“How dare you!” Li Shiyu’s voice sank.
“What is there to be afraid of? It is only to obey the instructions of Your Highness.” Mu Lan’s face did not change color.
Is not to be more calm than who, how can Mu Lan lose to Li Shiyu, her eyebrows and eyes did not move, calm sitting, also seems to be completely indifferent to the two people now some ambiguous atmosphere.
Li Shiyu quieted down for a moment, then laughed angrily: “So Lan Er is still jealous?”
“I don’t like sour things. I like sweet.” Mulan denied it directly.
After that, Mu Lan did not want to give Li Shiyu another chance to open his mouth: “Why don’t you leave?”? I’m not here to stay for a long time. Aren’t you afraid that Princess Ching Huan and others will be in a hurry and won’t be able to explain later?
Li Shiyu saw that Mu Lan’s small temper was not angry, and laughed out loud in a low voice.
In such light laughter, Li Shiyu suddenly coughed a few times.
Originally still calm Mu Lan heard Li Shiyu’s light cough, eyebrows instantly twisted up, soon, she grabbed Li Shiyu’s wrist, quickly took the pulse.
“Didn’t Yung Chiu say you were all right?” Mu Lan asked directly, “Why is there a cough now?”? Could it be that the little tail has not been completely broken?
Li Shiyu let Mulan grasp, the smile in the eyebrows and eyes is more and more heavy.
It seems that more and more like to see Mu Lan care about their own appearance, even if the duplicity makes Li Shiyu feel particularly comfortable.
Quietly, Li Shiyu held Mu Lan in his arms. His voice was deep and soothing: “Lan, let me hold her quietly for a while.”. I’ll leave after a while.
This, let Mu Lan did not answer again, also did not struggle again, let Li Shiyu hold. She did not speak, her head pressed against the man’s chest, listening quietly to the strong heartbeat of the man.
For a long time, inside the tent, no one spoke a few more words, occasionally only the wind outside the tent came, followed by a flicker of candlelight.
It was not until Li Shiyu once again broke the silence: “My father ordered me and my ninth brother to reinvestigate the affairs of the Li family.”
“Mmm.” Mu Lan answered, this matter a month ago in the Royal Dragon Palace, Li Changtian said.
“But now it is impossible to conduct a thorough investigation.” Li Shi-yu said lightly, “The father’s words are just a deterrent to the empress, and they don’t have much effect.”. Decades have passed since this incident, and all the clues and evidence have been completely destroyed. It will be even more difficult to get the Li family to wash away their grievances. Only when the new emperor ascends the throne can all this be overturned.
Li Shiyu said directly, and did not perfunctory Mu Lan, will not give Mu Lan hope in vain.
Mu Lan also understood this naturally, hum sound.
“But the king will certainly give the Li family an explanation of this matter.” Li Shiyu made a promise.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu, for a long time, she nodded lightly, in this person’s promise, Mu Lan knew very clearly that even if Li Shiyu was defeated in the throne, he would try his best to rehabilitate the Li family, just because this is what Mu Lan wanted to do, want to recover the embroidery room of the Li family, let the Li family not suffer such charges of treason.
As long as Mu Lan wants, Li Shiyu will do his best to do it. What more could you ask for to have such a person in your world in
this life.
For a long time, Mu Lan just hum, did not speak, she moved in the arms of Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu did not say anything, just hugged Mu Lan.
“Why don’t you go back?” Until Mu Lan asked Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu said, “I’m going back.”. During these two months in the Western Regions, no matter what happens, don’t act rashly. Do you hear me?
“Good.” Mu Lan answered.
She did not ask much, but understood the meaning of Li Shiyu’s words, in such circumstances, Mu Lan really can not give Li Shiyu confusion.
She looked at Li Shiyu quietly and said clearly, “You promised me that you would come back to pick me up, so no matter what happens, you will come back to me safely.”
“Good.” Li Shiyu answered.
Then, Li Shiyu loosened Mu Lan, but Mu Lan stood up, Li Shiyu watched quietly, Mu Lan stood on tiptoe, hugged Li Shiyu’s neck, and naturally kissed him on his thin lips.
Li Shiyu a backhand, clasped Mu Lan’s waist, the kiss gradually deepened, step by step approaching, until Mu Lan’s cheeks were red, Li Shiyu released Mu Lan.
“I’m leaving.” He said quietly.
Mu Lan hum, did not speak again.
Li Shiyu quickly turned around, Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu left the figure, did not say anything more, she went to the curtain, listening to the movement outside, until Li Shiyu’s footsteps disappeared, Mu Lan returned to bed, quietly closed his eyes.
A night of peace.
The next day.
At daybreak, the guards were already moving, and the slaves were busy in an orderly manner.
It was not until all the people had finished their breakfast that the long procession set off again, heading in the direction of the western regions.
In the evening, they can reach the western regions. Gao Qian, the king of the
Western Regions, had also prepared a grand palace banquet to welcome Li Changtian and others from Dazhou.
On this day, nothing happened.
Mu Lan quietly in the carriage looking at the book, the surface looks light, but Mu Lan’s mind is not on the book, but Mu Lan’s mind is not shown in the face. For the
carriage, from time to time came the silvery laughter, but it broke up the dull atmosphere on the way.
That’s Qing Huan’s laughter.
Obviously, Qing Huan and these princes are very familiar with each other, and the girl who grew up in the Western Regions is also very skilled in equestrian. Naturally, she will not sit in a carriage like the woman of Dazhou, but gallop on the vast land of the grassland.
No violation of peace.
Mu Lan sat quietly, occasionally lifted the curtain, and saw Qing Huan around Li Shiyu not far away, chattering non-stop.
Li Shiyu riding in front, occasionally will bow and Qing Huan said a few words, and in the face of other people’s cold, Li Shiyu is a lot of warm to Qing Huan.
Is it really not the same thing?
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and eyes and thought carefully.
She knows very well that these two months are the most critical time, Liyao has been placed on the edge of Li Changtian, Li Shiyu naturally has his use. If Mu Lan is not wrong, in the autumn sacrifice trip, I am afraid that Liyao will be pregnant.
And if Li Changtian refers to marriage, will Li Shiyu accept it because of the overall situation.
After all, the king of the Western Regions is an excellent helper, and the king of the Western Regions loves this sister very much, naturally it is impossible to do nothing, after all, Li Shiyu is going to have an accident, Qing Huan is bound to escape.
Sink, such an idea, let Mu Lan’s eyebrows twist up.
For a long time, she couldn’t relax.
Ear Qing Huan’s voice, gradually let Mu Lan feel irritable up, she closed her eyes to rest, trying to calm down.
Team all the way forward, this time is two hours shorter than before the plan, not long after lunch, has arrived in the territory of the western regions. The king of
the Western Regions was already waiting at the border with all the people on horseback.
When the procession stopped, even Li Changtian personally got out of the carriage and thought of the King of the Western Regions. Kao Chien naturally jumped off his horse and bowed with a bow. “Long time no see, Your Majesty.”
“I haven’t seen the King of the Western Regions for a long time, but he’s still so valiant and heroic.”
Gao Qian laughed out loud.
And Ching Huan had already ridden up to Kao Chien and said, “Brother Huang, I’m back.” When
Gao Qian saw Ching Huan, his face turned cold, but he unceremoniously blocked Li Changtian’s face and scolded him a few words: “The king told you not to misbehave, but you were good. You couldn’t wait to run over again. If the king hadn’t let someone follow you, if something had happened, how could you let the king explain to his father and mother?”. Besides, if you go like this, aren’t you making trouble for the emperor?
“No, it’s not!” Qing Huan snorted, and then carefully rubbed against the edge of Gao Qian.
For Gao Qian, Qing Huan is really not afraid, because Gao Qian spoils himself, is all the people in the western regions know things.
On the contrary, it was Li Changtian who looked at this picture and burst out laughing: “King of the Western Regions, your words are too serious.”. Which year Princess Qing Huan did not come to meet me earlier than you? This is a good thing. It proves that our relationship with the Western Regions has always been extremely close.
Gao Qian smiled and said the words of officialdom perfunctorily.
A group of people seem to be happy.
And the women of the harem also got out of the carriage one after another and exchanged greetings here.
The Western Regions are different from the Great Zhou Dynasty. There is no clear distinction between Kyoto and the whole Western Regions. The herdsmen in the Western Regions are still traditional nomads, including the King of the Western Regions.
So into the territory of the western regions, where they want to live, in fact, is not too far.
Even if it is really walking, it is better than sitting in a carriage all the way, in fact, it is not so comfortable.
So the people came down one after another.
Mulan nature is no exception, she quietly watching, just like Mulan itself, is very low-key, and come here to the female dependents, appear to be gorgeously dressed, her simple but elegant, but with this piece of the western regions into one.
No less.
Even Gao Qian couldn’t help glancing at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan nodded politely, but did not open his mouth. Gao Qian took back his sight without any trace, and did not say much. Looking at Mu Lan standing on the edge of the queen mother, and then looking at Mu Lan’s dress, Gao Qian can naturally guess the identity of Mu Lan at a glance.
I’m afraid the person in front of me is today’s Crown Princess Mu Lan.
Gao Qian collected his thoughts and walked with Li Changtian, and the queen mother occasionally opened her mouth to say a few words.
Qing Huan’s mood appears to be extremely good, most of the time is entangled in the edge of Li Shiyu chattering, is not taboo.
Li Chang-tien also noticed, “Princess Ching Huan, I have so many princes, and you don’t pester me, are you pestering my four princes?”
Ching Huan is generous: “Back to the emperor’s words, because the four lords seem to be very easy to get along with, ah, and do not put on airs, ah, Ching Huan can only pester.”
Li Chang-tien burst out laughing, half jokingly, half seriously, and said, “If Princess Ching Huan arrives in Kyoto tomorrow, I’ll let Shi Yu accompany you. You can’t be idle at all.”
Ching Huan was truly blessed, imitating the appearance of the concubines in the imperial harem: “Then I would like to thank the emperor in advance.”
Li Changtian laughed again. The
atmosphere was made very happy by Qing Huan.
Happy appearance, Qing Huan is also very successful to occupy everyone’s attention, a bright and moving girl, or a princess of a country, regardless of the interests inside, it is difficult not to be moved.
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and eyes, looking at the princes and nobles who accompanied him all the way, intentionally or unintentionally pleasing Qing Huan is no longer a minority, but Qing Huan’s eyes are only Li Shiyu, and even did not shy away from revealing his love.
“I’m afraid it’s time for my father to get married this year.” Li Shili did not know when to appear in Mu Lan’s side, some gloating said. Your
Highness Jiu has been mentioning Princess Ching Huan to me all the time. Could it be that your Highness Jiu likes it, but he can’t get it, so he talks about it like this. If that’s the case, I wouldn’t recommend helping His Highness. Mu Lan said coldly, as if completely unaffected by Li Shili.
Li Shili tutted, and some of them were criticized by Mu Lan and could not speak.
Plus here is really not a place to chat, so Li Shili did not say anything, and quietly pulled away from Mu Lan.
Mu Lan ignored Li Shili.
And not far away followed by Long Shaoyun also quietly took a look at Mu Lan, Mu Lan nodded, the two did not speak.
In the past month, because Mu Zhanxiao stayed in the palace to control everything, all the people who had been guarding Li Changtian became Long Shaoyun. Naturally, Mu Lan and Long Shaoyun could not meet each other. Occasionally, they just nodded and never talked.
……
And it didn’t take long to go all the way, has arrived at the yurt arranged by Gao Qian, Mu Lan’s camp is naturally on the edge of the queen mother, the queen mother all the way to the boat fatigue, although Gu is very good, but with the previous cold, after all, there are still some can not stand.
Mu Lan noticed, soon let people invite Xu medical female, and then accompanied the queen mother into the yurt, Xu Luochen also packed up the yurt, let the queen mother sit down. After
a period of relaxation, the queen mother was much better. Doctor
Xu also hurried to the scene. After checking the situation of the Empress Dowager, she slightly twisted her eyebrows. Then she looked at Mu Lan and said, “Report to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager need to have a rest at home. They shouldn’t be tired of traveling. I will prescribe some tranquilizing medicine for the Empress Dowager.”. In addition, the weather in the Western Regions has changed significantly over the past few days, so try not to go out indoors to avoid catching the cold again.
“I have written it down.” Mu Lan answered.
Ji Jang Geum this just nods, soon the prescription is good, Mu Lan took a look, and did not say anything, Xu medical woman calmly left.
Then Mu Lan turned to look at the Empress Dowager and said, “Empress, please have a good rest. I will personally prepare the food for you these two days. When you have recovered, you can have a good look at the scenery of the Western Regions.”
“Good.” The Empress Dowager was really a little tired. “It’s a good thing you came with the Ai family. Otherwise, the Ai family really wouldn’t know what to do.”
Mu Lan smiled faintly. “My concubine lives next door to you. If anything happens, you can ask Luo Chen to call my concubine at any time. My concubine will come right away.”
“Well, well, with you here, the Ai family is very relieved. You can arrange everything in a safe and sound way.” This, the queen mother said sincerely.
Mu Lan did not bow either. “My concubine will leave first. Tonight, the king of the Western Regions has prepared a banquet. My concubine must make some preparations so that she can’t lose face for Dazhou.”
“You go.” The queen mother didn’t stop it.
Mu Lan did not hurry to go, but and Xu Luochen carefully explained a few words, Xu Luochen repeatedly answered, and then Mu Lan turned away.
When Mu Lan returned to her room, she saw something wrong at a glance. Then she looked at Linglong and said, “Has someone been here?”
“Yes.” Linglong answered, “Your Highness has been here.” I didn’t hide
that.
Mu Lan also did not ask much to go to the desktop of the wooden box, she looked quietly, did not rush to open this looks inconspicuous wooden box, but it seems to be able to guess what is inside.
Mu Lan played for a while, and then quietly opened, inside as Mu Lan guessed, is a hairpin.
It’s just that this hairpin is much more outstanding than previous one.
The color is gorgeous and colorful, the peony at the end of the hairpin is even more agile, as if with the pace, it can jump out of the hair, and the embellished gems are full of exotic flavor, which makes people unable to move their eyes.
Mulan gave a careful clue, and then she chuckled and looked at Linglong: “What did Your Highness say?”
Linglong shook her head. “Your Highness didn’t say anything.”
Mu Lan hum, also did not say what.
Linglong, however, responded, “Empress, please rest first, and when the time comes, the maidservant will call you.”
Mu Lan did not say anything, and then Linglong leisurely retreated, Mu Lan did not sleep, but quietly looked at the hands of the hairpin, sat down in front of the bronze mirror, and then put the hairpin in.
The hairpin has taken away all the brilliance, and compared with the simple elegance of the whole body, this hairpin is too eye-catching.
But Mu Lan is very clear, Li Shiyu to the hairpin, in addition to before and Mu Lan said, as long as Mu Lan likes, he will send, the other reason, I am afraid, is for tonight’s dance.
Mu Lan clearly did not say what he would jump, but Li Shiyu seemed to be able to guess.
This hairpin is a perfect match with tonight’s dance dress.
Does this man want to wear this hairpin and dance for him?
Even in full view of the public, can he automatically block the public?
The man
Mu Lan laughed out loud in a low voice, and then carefully took off the hairpin and received it in the brocade box, but he didn’t think any more about it, and quietly rested on the bed. I’m really a little tired after tossing and turning
all the way.
…… In the huge yurt
at night
, people were drinking and talking happily, which also blocked the white snow outside.
Previously, the snow had stopped, but recently, when the sky was getting dark, the snow began to fall again, and the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger.
Only in the yurt, there is no sense of the cold of snow, but because of the bonfires and human habitation everywhere, it seems hot.
Li Changtian rare also drank a few mouthfuls of wine, Li Yao in the side to wait on, Diana is not as radical as Qu Huachang, but appears to be more calm, indifferent to everything in front of him.
Gao Qian and Li Changtian are chatting, two people sit together, it is very lively.
One side of the princes and courtiers of the western regions, princes and nobles also chat warm, a bit sincere, a bit false, I’m afraid only each other know.
Suddenly, inside the yurt, the music of the musician sounded.
These musicians are from the big week, not as large as in the palace, but also the size of three or four people, when playing music together, or enough to attract everyone’s eyes.
This kind of music is light and light, which seems to cater to the environment of the Western Regions, but with the unique sense of music of Dazhou, everything is perfectly integrated, and there is no difference at all.
In the music, the door curtain of the yurt was lifted.
Mu Lan leisurely and leisurely, light pace, ankles strung with bells, a hand and a foot are amorous feelings.
With the rhythm of the musician, Mu Lan danced, from the moment Mu Lan entered the room, the original noisy conversation suddenly quieted down. All that was
left was the sound of music and the most touching dance.
A bright red dress, and the plain day is not the same, it is very enchanting, but with this desert, snow, excellent fusion together, as if, she is born for this vast territory.
Eyebrows and eyes in the flow of waves, but also as if in the next moment, she saw people, will do everything for Mu Lan to pay all.
The yurt was quiet, and it was a silent exclamation.
Mu Lan seems to be totally indifferent, wholeheartedly immersed in such a dance, as the rhythm becomes more and more intense, Mu Lan’s movements also follow more and more wanton.
……
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan for a moment, and his eyes were so hot that he had never seen them before. In the big week, Li Shiyu hid them very well, but here, Li Shiyu seemed to no longer want to hide the emotions that were about to gush out. Everything
around has been emptied.
As if everything had ceased to exist, in front of Li Shiyu, only Mu Lan was left. When
Mu Lan’s eyes looked at Li Shiyu, she could naturally feel it clearly, and even read some deep meaning in Li Shiyu’s eyes.
Mu Lan some surprised, surprised Li Shiyu so good not to hide the feelings. Isn’t
this man afraid of being seen?
But Mu Lan smiled at Li Shiyu without any trace. Everyone thought that Mu Lan was smiling for dancing, but Li Shiyu knew that it was smiling at himself.
The stars are thousands of miles away, and I only have eyes for you.
Li Shiyu’s thin lips, slightly up, such joy, but as if how can not hide.
All people’s eyes were attracted by Mu Lan’s eyes, but only Qing Huan, she twisted her eyebrows and looked at Li Shiyu, perhaps because of her love for Li Shiyu, the kind of woman’s sensitivity and intuition, but very sure to tell Qing Huan that Li Shiyu’s pleasure came from Mu Lan in front of her.
Such a hot, but also Qing Huan has never seen.
Because Li Shiyu has always been indifferent, even in the face of their own, no matter how enthusiastic they are, Li Shiyu will always just nod, will not go any further.
Qing Huan is not an unconscious person, but Qing Huan is very sure that as long as she insists, the stone will be heated one day, and the iceberg will melt. But Qing Huan persisted for so long, Li Shiyu can only be said to be polite to Qing Huan, but also always kept a proper distance.
On the contrary, looking at Mu Lan, Li Shiyu is not like this.
Such Li Shiyu, let Qing Huan feel shocked.
But more shocked is the identity of Mu Lan, Mu Lan is clearly the Crown Princess, which also means that Mu Lan is Li Shiyu’s second sister-in-law.
In such a relationship, it is impossible for Li Shiyu to do anything to Mu Lan. This is ridiculous.
In Qing Huan’s imagination, the musician’s rhythm also stopped, Mu Lan nodded slightly, obviously because of the previous dance, the forehead also began to emit fine beads of sweat, the chest continued to rise and fall, still panting.
But Mu Lan also did not stay much, soon leisurely retreated to one side, gradually left from the public’s line of sight, the whole process, Mu Lan did not say a word.
And Li Shiyu’s eyes followed Mu Lan all the way, until Mu Lan retreated from the public’s line of sight, Li Shiyu lightly withdrew his eyes.
Qing Huan looked at it and naturally noticed it.
She knew she shouldn’t have asked, but she couldn’t help saying, “Brother Yu, she’s your second wife, the present Crown Princess.”
This is like reminding Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu smiled faintly, but also should be Qing Huan a well, the rest of the words, Li Shiyu did not say again, and look at Qing Huan’s eyes, and become indifferent, peacetime no doubt.
It seems that Li Shiyu’s enthusiasm will only appear to Mu Lan, and will not be seen from other people.
And this light answer, and Qing Huan blocked a word can not say, she can not question Li Shiyu is not in love with Mu Lan.
With a single look, she has no reason.
What’s more, how many people at the scene look at Mu Lan’s eyes are hot, as long as it is a man, it is impossible not to like Mu Lan.
Even his brother Gao Qian, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes is also interesting.
Quiet, Qing Huan some reluctant, but subconsciously, Qing Huan closer to Li Shiyu, as if pestering Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu just looked down, slightly twisted eyebrows, did not stop Qing Huan, at least not face to face to Qing Huan ugly, but the whole person has no trace of the distance and Qing Huan again.
Qing Huan can’t get any closer.
That kind of depressed mood is also more and more obvious.
And Li Shiyu’s absent-mindedness, until Mu Lan returned to the public’s line of sight, and then gradually eliminated, although he did not dance like Mu Lan, so brazenly looking at Mu Lan, but the corner of the eye has always fallen on Mu Lan’s body.
Mu Lan is aware of it, but her surface is not obvious, still very calm.
One side a lot of people warm and talk to Mulan, Li Shiyuan did not appear, Mulan became the only one in the East Palace, want to climb up the powerful people are no longer a minority.
Mulan behaved reasonably and was not too enthusiastic about anyone.
The atmosphere is not bad. The dancing of the
Crown Princess really lives up to its reputation. The king has heard of you for a long time in the Western Regions, and it’s a pity to see you today. Gao Qian raised his glass and praised Mu Lan. Neither humble nor pushy,
Mu Lan said, “The king of the Western Regions has been praised.”
Li Changtian obviously has light on his face, but looking at Mu Lan’s eyes is still somewhat difficult, but Li Changtian is still sober, knowing what he should do and what he should not do.
Liyao quietly accompanied Li Changtian’s side, did not speak.
Princess Diana remained calm throughout. The
queen mother did not attend the dinner because she was not feeling well, but rested in the yurt, accompanied by Xu Luochen. People at the
dinner party have different thoughts.
Only the king of the Western Regions seemed to be in a good mood, and quickly said, “But the women of the Western Regions have always been famous for dancing, and the concubine of the king’s younger brother is also a famous dancer. The king thought she had no rivals, but now it seems that the Crown Princess is the most powerful rival, and it’s still far from the same.”
“I don’t deserve it.” Mu Lan, on the other hand, is modest and courteous. “This dance has always had a style, and the style of the Western Regions is full of enthusiasm. I’m just learning and selling now. If I were born here, I’d be a far cry from it.”
Scene words, Mu Lan has been saying very beautiful, you come and I go, Mu Lan has thrown the words back.
“Then let my younger brother’s concubine dance a song to see how she compares with the Crown Princess.” Gao Qian is also direct.
Mu Lan nodded with a faint smile and said nothing more.
Surrounded by a good voice, the atmosphere is very warm, even Li Changtian can not help nodding, as if extremely interested. The
musician’s rhythm sounded again, but this time, it was a musician from the Western Regions. Obviously, the cheerful rhythm is much warmer than that of Dazhou, and the atmosphere at the scene is particularly good.
Mu Lan watched quietly.
Gao Qian’s younger brother’s name is Gao Sai, but Mu Lan’s way is smooth. The feelings of the
two brothers are good, Gao Sai also has no adverse heart, otherwise, the western regions will not be so long calm.
This is also let Mu Lan feel surprised, but this kind of accident Mu Lan also hides very well, after all, know the face does not know the heart, your superficial obedience, does not represent the inner submission.
Just like Li Shiyu.
Besides, who isn’t interested in the throne.
Mu Lan did not say this, as the curtain was lifted, Mu Lan naturally looked at the past like everyone else.
An enchanting woman soon appeared in the public’s line of sight, dance skirt and body curve tightly fit together, and Mu Lan’s conservative, obviously she appears to be more enthusiastic and unrestrained.
But soon, when the woman faced this Mu Lan, Mu Lan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a kind of vigilance that could not be said.
She lowered her head and asked Linglong softly, “Which of Gao Sai’s concubines is this?”
Linglong answered in a low voice, “It’s Concubine Shuiliansha.”
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.
Linglong quickly explained: “It was only last year that she accepted a side concubine, but in the past year, she has been so favored that she has even squeezed the main concubine out of her place. In the palace, she is also very skillful. Many people say that this Shuiliansha will replace the main concubine sooner or later and become the main concubine of the King of Gaosai.”
“So?” Mulan was silent. “Doesn’t the king of the Western Regions care?”
Want to know, is not a country, the harem is a variety of forces hovering, can be listed as the imperial concubine, must have the support of the forces behind, if not made a great mistake, or the forces behind the fall, it is impossible to easily let a side of the imperial concubine to replace their position.
Like Chen Zhirong, even if Luo Xue has passed away for many years, Chen Zhirong is still in the position of the side imperial concubine, and did not ascend.
Does Mu Hongyuan not want to?
Not necessarily.
Just want to let Chen Zhirong ascend, to deal with too many things, although Luo Xue has passed away, the power of the mother’s family is still influential, not to mention, let Chen Zhirong brazenly ascend, will only strip off the appearance of Mu Hongyuan hypocrisy.
So the play that should be played still needs to be played.
This principle also works in the western regions. So Mu Lan would be curious to ask such a sentence.
Linglong shook her head. “I’m not sure about the maidservant.”
“What is the origin of this water lotus?” Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment before continuing to ask.
“Not really.” Linglong thought, It was only at the beginning of last year that King Gao Sai saw it on the border of the Western Regions. He was also attracted by Shuiliansha’s dancing and beauty. When he came back with Shuiliansha, he was originally just a concubine. But in a year and a half, Shuiliansha changed from a concubine to a side concubine. That was enough to make people look askance, so there was a rumor. It is said that Shuiliansha will take the place of Zhengfei.
Linglong carefully explained once, Mu Lan this just clear nod.
But Mu Lan asked Shuiliansha, not attracted by Shuiliansha’s dancing skills, according to Mu Lan’s point of view, Shuiliansha’s dancing skills are probably not even comparable to Mu Zhihua. After all,
Mu Zhihua has been trained by a special person and constantly strives for excellence. In front of us, Shuiliansha wins in the bold clothes and movements, as well as the sexy makeup on her face, all of which are enough to cover the defects of Shuiliansha’s dancing skills, so that people can completely divert their attention. Is
also because of this, only then lets Mu Lan pay attention to the water lotus Sha.
She felt that Shuiliansha was familiar, not because of her appearance, but because of the feeling of familiarity, the more enchanting roses, the more thorns.
But Mu Lan’s mind can not connect important clues, not up or down the card, but let Mu Lan some headache.
But the water lotus Sha’s movement also gradually stopped, she was panting, the smiling face is full, hundred charming thousand Jiao looked at the crowd, the blessing body please, then quietly returned to the edge of the high competition.
Obviously, Gao Sai was very fond of Shuiliansha, and did not shy away from expressing his love for Shuiliansha in front of everyone, and directly pulled Shuiliansha to his side.
Such a picture, let Mu Lan slightly raise eyebrows, but the surface is always quiet, quietly drank a cup of tea, but the tea has been cold, Mu Lan naturally put down the cup again.
Not only is it cold, but the tea is also somewhat unsatisfactory.
This palace banquet is a lively night, near the end, Mu Lan left early, Mu Lan left without any inappropriate place, because Mu Lan can come this time, because to follow the queen mother’s side, the queen mother did not appear, Mu Lan naturally will not stay long.
Leaving the yurt, the sky outside has long been dark, but the region of the Western Regions is much broader than Kyoto, just like the starry sky, bright and incomparable.
The heavy snow stopped, and the stars in the sky twinkled.
This also means that tomorrow will be a sunny day. The snow on the
ground is very deep, from the dinner place to walk back, or need to spend some time, Mu Lan walked quietly.
Linglong followed Mu Lan carefully.
Mu Lan returned to the queen mother that, the queen mother has rested, she carefully asked Xu Luochen queen mother’s situation, Xu Luochen truthfully said, Mu Lan this just slightly put down the heart.
The queen mother should be all right.
On the contrary, today’s Li Changtian, let Mu Lan some twist eyebrows, she can not get close to Li Changtian, Li Changtian surface also looks normal, but that is an instinctive intuition, intuition that Li Changtian’s situation is not very good, and even some strong feeling.
Because one night, the whole Liyao is on the side of Li Changtian, it seems that she is supporting Li Changtian.
Clearly her prescription, it is impossible for Li Changtian to have such a situation, and Feng Changyang can not change his own pharmacy privately. But Feng Changyang did not come to find himself, because Li Changtian’s situation is not obvious, or there are other reasons.
After all, Feng Changyang is not a doctor, but the more understanding of pharmacology, can not be found at the first time, it is not a strange thing.
Sink, Mu Lan collect under the mood, thinking to find a time, to find the wind Changyang to ask the situation.
Then, Mu Lan also did not stay in the queen mother that much, explained Xu Luochen a few words, soon returned to his tent.
But the scene of the palace banquet, but still noisy, this noisy, at least to the things after midnight.
Mu Lan is really a little tired.
After Mulan returned to his house, Linglong quickly brought hot water, let Mulan wash his face and clean up, then changed his clothes for Mulan, made the bed, Linglong quietly retreated, and did not disturb Mulan any more.
At the moment when the candlelight went out, suddenly, Mu Lan became alert, sat up suddenly, looked calmly at the position beside the curtain, and then she walked quickly towards the curtain. When he
reached the curtain, Mu Lan quieted down. It was Li Shiyu.
Obviously not over, Li Shiyu suddenly appeared in his own this person, this person is too presumptuous?
Mu Lan did not speak, standing, and Li Shiyu has also come in, the room is still dark, only occasionally through the moonlight, after gradually adapting to such darkness, can see the faces of two people.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan quietly, his big hand gently stroked Mu Lan’s cheek, with a little smile in his eyebrows and eyes.
It’s greed and spoiling.
More like after entering the western regions, Li Shiyu’s feelings for Mu Lan are no longer hidden, clearly revealed in front of everyone.
Mu Lan did not notice at first, but gradually, with Li Shiyu’s eyes, Mu Lan has also noticed.
In Mu Lan’s opinion, this man is too presumptuous.
Because it is the western regions, so can be so unscrupulous?
She quieted down for a moment, then asked with a straight face, “The banquet of the King of the Western Regions is not over yet. Aren’t you afraid of being discovered when you come here so rashly?”
“Just because it’s not over yet, it’s possible to come in a fair way.” Li Shi-yu chuckled and rubbed his calloused fingers against Mu Lan’s delicate skin. “Don’t you like me coming?”
Mu Lan did not admit or deny it.
She looked at Li Shiyu. The smile in
Li Shiyu’s eyebrow eyes never broke, looking at Mu Lan, and then fell on the hairpin on Mu Lan’s bun, and the big hand naturally reached over.
Mu Lan didn’t move either.
“You look beautiful tonight.” Li Shiyu suddenly said, “You are so beautiful that I want to hide you and not let anyone see you, so that you belong to me alone.”
“Are you drunk?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and asked Li Shiyu.
But looking at this man, Mu Lan did not feel that Li Shiyu was not sober at all, besides, this man was very alert when he was outside, and even Mu Lan had not seen Li Shiyu drinking, even now, Mu Lan could hardly smell any alcohol on Li Shiyu’s body.
“No.” Li Shiyu denied it.
He naturally bowed his head and kissed Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was rarely made by Li Shiyu no way, passively looking at this person, some helpless, but but the enthusiasm of this person, gradually sinking in front of this person, and then quietly let this person kiss, did not speak again.
Mu Lan, however, could feel something in Li Shiyu’s wanton behavior. She was quiet for a moment before she asked, “Aren’t you afraid of being noticed?”? Even if all the attention is on the palace banquet, there should still be a lot of prince’s eyes around here.
“Then I know.” Li Shiyu said in a deep voice, “I don’t want to hide it anymore.”
“Aren’t you afraid that people will find out and say you’re a heresy?” Mu Lan asked again.
“Even if it is a heresy, there is a saying that it comes first.” Li Shiyu is very calm. “What’s more, this is the Western Regions, not the crown prince’s world. No matter what the crown prince’s people do, they have to think twice before they act.”
“You and the King of the West?” Mu Lan grasped the key point, looked at Li Shiyu, and asked quietly.
Li Shiyu smiled and stroked Mu Lan’s skin before explaining, “King of the Western Regions, you don’t have to worry.”
A word can be very good to cover the relationship between Li Shiyu and Gao Qian, this person is very close, so Li Shiyu after entering the western regions will appear presumptuous, because Li Shiyuan no matter how dense eyeliner, after all, here is the western regions, the western regions is the territory of Gao Qian, anyone’s every move can not escape the eyelids of Gao Qian.
What’s more, the western regions is also an independent country, not affiliated to the vassal king of the big week, Li Shiyuan really want to do anything, but also to take into account the face of the two countries.
Besides, big week and the western regions, really can’t tell who is clinging to who, once Gao Qian and big week tear the face, for big week no good, now a large part of the reason for the calm of the border is because of Gao Qian.
Gao Qian’s forces suppressed those who were ready to move outside the pass.
After all, the western regions and big week together, they don’t say what to do, even live has become a luxury.
And Li Shiyu unexpectedly and Gao Qian is a grasshopper on the same rope, can Li Shiyu be so presumptuous, but Mu Lan more clearly, Gao Qian stood on the side of Li Shiyu, no doubt also in the matter of seizing the throne, occupied an absolutely favorable role.
Therefore, Li Shiyu has always been a man who does not fight unprepared battles.
Than Ayutthaya, anyone in front of Li Shiyu, I’m afraid it’s nothing.
Sinking, Mu Lan also felt much relieved. “Is that why you are so presumptuous?”
“You are my woman, and it is natural for me to be presumptuous with you.” Li Shiyu smiled and spoke frankly.
Mu Lan could not say whether it was anger or something else, but beat Li Shiyu’s chest, and the atmosphere inside the yurt gradually became ambiguous.
Li Shiyu quietly hugged Mu Lan. It took him a long time to break the silence. “Did you ask Linglong to check up on Mammy Qian, who was originally on the queen’s side?”
“Yes.” Mu Lan did not deny it.
Linglong has always been in the East Palace, naturally it is impossible to leave, the person who investigated this matter can not be Linglong, Linglong can only pass through Li Shiyu’s people.
So it is reasonable for Li Shiyu to know.
“Having you is one step ahead of you.” Li Shi-yu didn’t try to hide it, but said lightly, “By the time we got to the temple, Mammy Chien’s family was already dead.”
Mu Lan twists eyebrow, this result also is in Mu Lan’s anticipation actually.
She took advantage of the wedding dress and the affairs of the Li family to press Qu Huachang so hard that she could not move, and the people in the palace naturally knew it clearly, and it was impossible to hide it from Li Shiyuan. Li Shiyuan and Qu Huachang are mother and son, and the relationship itself is close.
Mu Lan is not worried, Qu Huachang in Li Shiyuan that add oil and vinegar to say himself, because no matter how Qu Huachang said, Li Shiyuan will only think that Qu Huachang hates himself.
After all, Mu Lan and Qu Huachang, in the palace as long as anyone knows, they have long been incompatible, Li Shiyuan is also clear.
So Li Shiyuan will not suspect himself about this matter.
But Mammy Qian’s family had already died before they found it, which also proved that Li Shiyuan had taken the lead before them, and Li Shiyuan had taken the lead.
The late Qing Dynasty did not know the exact location of Mammy Qian’s family, and it would take time for them to find it.
But Li Shiyuan knows it. When the people of
Rong Temple went to look for it, Li Shiyuan was enough to attack Mammy Qian’s family.
Plus they went to the western regions, this come and go, the news is lagging behind a lot.
“The prince did it.” Mu Lan came to his senses from such thoughts and said directly, “This also proves that the empress has always had a relationship with the Li family.”. I have never believed that the Li family collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. There is no need for an embroidery house to do such a thing and make trouble with itself. Therefore, it can only be personal.
Mu Lan said directly: “The queen is in such a hurry to kill and silence, which only proves that the queen and the Li family must be involved.”. But I can’t guess what the implication is.
Li Shi-yu murmured, “No matter what the implications are, I will let the Rong Temple investigate this matter.”
Mu Lan was quiet, her mind flashed a thought, and then she looked at Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows, waiting for Mu Lan to go on.
“What if we do the opposite?” Mu Lan asked Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu immediately understood what Mu Lan meant: “Do you want the Rong Temple to check not from Mammy Qian, but from the empress?”
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered, and then explained, Mammy Chien was the nurse who grew up with Qu Huachang, and she was also the person Qu Huachang trusted most. Naturally, she knew everything about Qu Huachang’s every move. Qu Huachang’s murder means that Mammy Chien’s clue is dead, but the Qu family should still have a clue.
Mu Lan looked more and more calm: “Mammy Qian is a slave. In the face of life and interests, Qu Huachang can be cruel and heartless, but the Qu family and Qu Huachang are different. The Qu family and Qu Huachang are tied together. Qu Huachang doesn’t need to worry about the Qu family betraying themselves.”. There are also many old slaves in the Qu family, so maybe there will be a clue.
Mu Lan pointed out a clear road.
The matter should have come to an abrupt end here.
But Mu Lan’s reversal, actually may let this matter have the possibility which investigates again.
Li Shiyu’s admiration for Mu Lan was obvious in his eyes. He laughed in a low voice: “Lan’s intelligence is really beyond my expectation.”. I’ll tell the Rong Temple to follow the leads of the Qu family.
Mu Lan hum, also did not say what.
Li Shiyu naturally hugged Mu Lan into his arms again, and seemed to cherish the opportunity for the two to get along in private.
In the past, obviously in the palace, but between the two seems to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, how can not be close.
And now everything, it seems precious, but also seems to be wanton.
Mu Lan’s tight, also gradually followed the relaxation down, leaning on this person, listening to Li Shiyu’s strong and powerful breathing sound, slender arms are also very natural around Li Shiyu’s lean waist.
Li Shiyu bowed his head and kissed Mu Lan’s forehead: “Remember my words. No matter what happens here, don’t act rashly.”
He explained carefully again.
Mu Lan was quiet and did not speak.
But between the lines of Li Shiyu, Mu Lan has also been faintly aware of the near future, the tense atmosphere.
She looked up at Li Shiyu. “So everything started in the Western Regions, right?”
“Not necessarily.” Li Shi-yu knew what Mu Lan was asking. “Everything is now, just wait and see what happens.”
The rest of the words, Li Shiyu did not say much, Mu Lan did not ask much, she just told Li Shiyu to be careful.
Li Shiyu gave a hum.
Just then, a delicate voice came from outside the door curtain: “Empress, the maidservant has brought the woolen blanket you asked for.”
Linglong did not really bring the wool blanket, but told the two people in the house that it was not safe outside now and asked Li Shiyu to leave quickly.
What’s more, now still in the palace banquet, Li Shiyu left too long is not appropriate.
Besides, even if Gao Qian is Li Shiyu’s person, will not say more, does not mean that Li Shiyi will be indifferent, Li Shiyu’s everything is also in the surveillance. At
this time, there is no absolutely safe place.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and said, “Go back quickly so that you won’t be discovered.”
Li Shiyu hum, but not in a hurry, he looked down at Mu Lan, eyes for a long time did not move away from the body of Mu Lan.
Hot and intense.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu passively and did not speak.
Li Shi-yu suddenly said, “Today, Long Shao-yun has never looked away from you.”
The man
quieted down and pursed his lips with a straight face. “I can’t poke people’s eyes out.”. Besides, isn’t the king of the Western Regions also watching? Are you going to poke people’s eyes blind? Besides, it was you who came to me openly. General Long didn’t come, did he?
“Sharp teeth.” Li Shi-yu chuckled, “You look good in the hairpin.”
Mu Lan also raised his eyebrows. “What kind of hairpin are you going to give me next time?”
It seems that this has become a habit, guessing what kind of hairpin Li Shiyu will give himself, which has become a different interest between the two. When
Li Shi-yu saw Mu Lan ask, he chuckled and said, “Guess what?”
“I can’t guess.” Mu Lan shook his head.
“Then wait.” Li Shi-yu pinched the tip of Mu Lan’s nose. “Since it’s a gift for you, if I let you know, there will be no surprise.”
“Are you going to keep giving me hairpins?” Mu Lan asked again. “As long as you like it,” said
Li Shiyu.
“Aren’t you afraid that there will be too many hairpins to put down?” Mu Lan raised her eyebrows and said, “Aren’t you afraid that one day there won’t be any hairpins that I like?”
Li Shiyu smiled and said nothing.
Mu Lan sees this person smile, always have a kind of feeling that what is more in this person’s control, his every move this person can guess clearly, even if it looks the most common hairpin, can not be liked by anyone at a glance, but it is inexplicably appropriate to wear on his head.
Li Shiyu seems to know himself best.
Mu Lan said angrily, “All right, don’t you go back?”? Linglong is urging.
Li Shiyu laughed again, and soon, Li Shiyu bowed his head and kissed Mu Lan’s lips, which opened the distance between himself and Mu Lan, and if he went on, he would not be able to walk tonight.
Now is not the time for love.
In the western regions, there is always a long time to come.
“I’m leaving.” Li Shiyu said in a low voice.
Mu Lan hum, some hot cheeks, but still standing solemnly, Li Shiyu did not speak, turned around and walked out quickly, Linglong did not come in, Mu Lan listened quietly, until the footsteps outside disappeared, Mu Lan’s heart followed to relax.
She went back to bed and soon fell into a deep sleep. In the
dream, Mu Lan seemed to dream of Li Shiyu, looking at herself far away, but she was imprisoned in the ice, how can not break through.
She was crying, but Li Shiyu couldn’t see her.
Want to hold hands, but like a barrier.
Everything is blurred, can not tell where this is, can not tell what happened, the only certainty is that their faces have not changed.
Soon the picture reversed, then the nightmare under the cliff appeared in front of Mu Lan, the still blurred picture under the cliff, but now gradually clear up.
Such an environment, Mu Lan felt particularly strange, completely different from the world she perceived.
But Mu Lan saw that on the bed, covered with the quilt unconscious called Xu Zhen Zhen woman.
And on her side is a crying heartbroken woman, dressed in expensive clothes, but such clothes are also Mu Lan has never seen.
The woman raised her eyes, and Mu Lan saw clearly in the nightmare.
Strange and familiar feeling, more is not against the chest waves of depressed emotions, want to break out of the cocoon, but was heavily controlled, eventually, all the pictures gradually blurred.
Mu Lan never woke up from the dream, but the corner of his eyes could not help but shed tears, as if he could no longer stop.
And the western regions at night, the temperature is getting lower and lower, around also has gradually restored calm, can no longer hear any movement.
The next few days were quiet.
Mu Lan followed the queen mother all day long, until the queen mother’s body gradually healthy up, Mu Lan was slightly relieved, got a chance to breathe.
Apart from the queen mother, Mu Lan’s thoughts were all on Li Shiyu.
And also seems to be after entering the western regions, everything looks calm, but that kind of tense mood is obvious, in this short few days, Mu Lan several times to see Li Shiyi’s face gloomy. These shadow guards who were
originally staring at Mu Lan were also transferred by Li Shiyi.
On the contrary, there are fewer people staring at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan is calm, but it is very clear that a lot of things have gradually begun. The war between
Li Shiyu and Li Shiyuan, also quietly started, so the surface of calm, but do not know how long it can last.
Compared with Li Shiyu and Li Shiyuan, Li Shili is much calmer.
Most of the time, Li Shili was accompanying Princess Diana and did not participate at all.
Mu Lan did not bother in Li Shili’s body, the last Li Shili is not the person who appeared at this time, so this life is impossible, not to mention and Li Shili this period of time to get along, Li Shili is by no means a brainless person.
Now rashly join the war, will only let Li Shili into a passive position.
His strength is not like Li Shiyu and Li Shiyuan.
It’s just Li Shili.
Mu Lan sank, and his brain turned very fast. Just then
, Linglong suddenly lifted the curtain and came in. Mu Lan looked at Linglong. Linglong immediately said, “Empress, Xu Yi-nu is here.”
Mu Lan twisted her eyebrows and quickly answered, “Please welcome Doctor Xu.”
“Yes.” Linglong retreated respectfully.
Xu Yi female to see Mu Lan, but fair and aboveboard, is completely can borrow the queen mother’s matter to find Mu Lan. Just Mu Lan is very clear in the heart, the queen mother’s amount of things, Xu medical woman does not need to make a special trip to their own here, as long as the queen mother that said on the line.
Now that I’ve come here specially, I’m afraid it’s not such a simple thing.
After pondering for a while, Mu Lan looked at Xu Yi-nu, who had come in calmly, and nodded slightly. Xu Yi-nu paid her respects, but did not beat around the Bush. She came straight to the point and said, “Empress, the emperor’s dragon body is worrying today, and the situation is not stable, although it looks like nothing happened when he appeared.” But at night, the emperor would constantly sweat and even fall into a coma. “
Xu told Mu Lan truth about this situation, which was relayed by Feng Changyang:” Doctor Feng said that the empress would be asked to decide this matter. ”
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows. All
Li Changtian’s prescriptions are opened by Mu Lan, who knows Li Changtian’s situation very well. If there is no big mistake, it is impossible to appear in such a situation.
Unless
Li Changtian was poisoned.
Mu Lan did not speak, the brain turns fast, she is very clear, even if Liyao in Li Changtian’s side, Li Changtian eat things can not be Liyao single-handed operation, but Wang Yong is responsible for, not to mention, sent to Li Changtian in front of the food, must test poison.
So, I’m afraid this is a slow poison, and the biggest suspect is Wang Yong.
Wang Yong is the closest person to Li Changtian.
Who can be sure that close people will not betray the water, after all, now the situation is so unstable, besides, Wang Yong is the edge of Li Changtian, if not in time to stand in line, no matter who is the next emperor, Wang Yong will not live long.
Better, leave the palace to retire and return home. If it’s
not good, it’s a cup of crane top red, which ends the most beautiful moment in the palace.
Wang Yong is also bound to stand in line, in the next time, can be safe, at least, to save their lives.
But when Ji Changjin saw that Mu Lan had not spoken, he suddenly said, “In my opinion, I’m afraid the emperor has been poisoned.”
Mu Lan hum.
“But if you don’t know what the poison is, you can’t prescribe the right medicine.” Ji Chang-jin goes on to say, “If things go on like this, no matter what kind of prescription the empress prescribes, it will only be maintained, and there may even be a scene of mutual restraint, causing the emperor to have an accident ahead of time.”
Ji Jang Geum said directly, that eye light has not left Mu Lan.
Mu Lan is meditating, and did not answer Ji Jang Geum’s question for the first time.
Mu Lan always feels that Li Changtian’s life and death is the key to the time node, if ahead of time, I am afraid a lot of things will be ahead of time.
To save or not to save, Mu Lan is thinking about this question.
After that, Mu Lan looked at Ji Jang Geum and said, “I can’t see the emperor now. It’s too deliberate. It’s easy to cause trouble.”. Xu Yi-nu, in your judgment, how long can emperor hold out if he doesn’t control it?
Ji Jang Geum listened to Mu Lan’s words and gave the answer without changing his face: “Let’s see how long the other side wants the emperor to live.”
Mu Lan nodded.
Slow poison itself is a very delicate thing, you do not know what the other side is under the poison, you are passive, but Li Changtian’s life and death, except can affect the time node, can not change anything. What Mu Lan has to do
now is to give Li Shiyu another chance.
This poisoner, Mu Lan does not need to guess, at a glance.
Then Mu Lan did not open his mouth again, nor did he write down the prescription, but quickly read it to Ji Jang Geum, this matter, after all, still need to be cautious.
Ji Jang Geum Mammy wrote down in her heart, all are medical students, what this means, Ji Jang Geum is very clear.
Let Dr. Feng deliver the medicine to the emperor according to my pharmacy, and you can’t stop in the middle. Other things await my notice. Mu Lan calmly confessed.
“Yes.” Ji Jang Geum answered.
Ji Changjin knows that this is a very second prescription, will not let Li Changtian’s situation gradually get better, but if the other side really wants Li Changtian’s life, in Mu Lan this prescription, but can fight poison with poison for a period of time. The implication is
that Li Changtian’s life and death are held in Mu Lan’s hands.
As long as the wind Changyang does not leave from the edge of Li Changtian, when Li Changtian dies, that is Mu Lan has the final say.
Such exquisite medical skills, Ji Jang Geum has not seen for a long time, even if she, also can not do so, and Mu Lan young age can. Who is
Mu Lan from.
All over the world, the only one who can be so amazing is the ghost hand.
But everyone knows that the ghost hand has disappeared many years ago and no one has found it, and it seems that the ghost hand has not closed its disciples.
Mu Lan, right?
Obviously not likely.
Because Mu Lan was not even born at that time, how can he touch the ghost hand, unless the ghost hand is not dead, but if the ghost hand is not dead, why Li Changtian has not been able to find the ghost hand all over the big week.
Ji Jang Geum’s brain turned, but ultimately what to say, what to say, what not to say, Ji Jang Geum knows better than anyone. Be careful in
this matter. Please tell Dr. Feng that if something really happens, take care of yourself first and don’t have an accident. Mu Lan explained carefully.
Ji Jang Geum nodded yes.
Soon, Ji Jang Geum retreated.
When they reached the door curtain, Mu Lan suddenly said, “Doctor Xu, the Ji clan originated in the Western Regions, didn’t they?”
Ji Jang Geum quieted down. “Yes.”
“Did the Ji clan all come to Dazhou?” Mu Lan asked again.
Ji Jang Geum looked at Mu Lan and said, Not entirely. A hundred years ago in the western regions, not as stable as now, not to mention the constant war, and the environment is worse, Ji clan in order to develop, this just from the western regions to the big week, spent ten years. But not all the people were willing to follow it.
“Therefore, the Ji clan has not completely disappeared.” Mulan found out the key point.
“By rights, there should be no one but Chi Niang and me.” Ji Chang-jin explains, “Because the branches that were left in the Western Regions were already insignificant, and when the Western Regions were in turmoil, no one could tolerate witches, and everyone could punish them. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, we were burned, and so were we in the Western Regions.” The implication is
that the Ji family has run out of gas.
With Ji Niang and Ji Jang Geum, has been unable to turn out the pattern.
Mu Lan was silent and said nothing.
Instead, Ji Changjin looked at Mu Lan and said, “Empress, why did you suddenly ask Ji Shi?”
No. Today, when I saw Gao Sai’s side concubine, I suddenly felt familiar. But I’m not sure. But people in the western regions, appearance is the same. So it’s just a random thought. Mu Lan explained.
Ji Jang Geum nodded, “Now it’s hard to recognize just by appearance.”. Ji Niang and I have been assimilated by Dazhou. There are really people of the Ji clan in the Western Regions, and they have already merged into the Western Regions, so it’s very difficult to find them.
Say that finish, Ji Jang Geum did not stay again, quickly walked out.
Mu Lan looked at Ji Jang Geum to leave the figure, slightly twisted eyebrows, this guess, no evidence, just Mu Lan’s intuition. A face is enough to show whether
a person is upright or not.
Shuiliansha should be too enchanting, which is a face with bad intentions.
But now the environment, so that Mu Lan has become a bit of panic.
Maybe she is really oversensitive.
Sink, Mu Lan said nothing more.
And now control Li Changtian’s life and death, but also Mu Lan can do for Li Shiyu, to buy time for Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu recently frequent access to Li Changtian’s side, but Li Shiyuan’s people are shielded outside.
I’m afraid everyone is ready to move.
Unconsciously, Mulan arrived in the western regions has been close to twenty days. The weather in the western regions
this year is somewhat unusual, in addition to the day just arrived after a heavy snow, let alone see the snow behind, even the temperature is warmer than usual.
Such an anomaly, in Mu Lan’s view, is not a good omen.
And everything also appears to be quiet, Li Changtian’s situation every day the wind Changyang will carefully explain Linglong, Linglong will be intact relayed to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan in the report day after day, has understood what poison in Li Changtian.
Such a chronic poison can delay Li Changtian for a long time, and if the dosage is increased, it will only make Li Changtian absent-minded, unable to keep up with physical strength, and even more exhausted.
Want these toxins to go to Li Changtian’s life, I am afraid it will take decades.
And the most crucial blindly in the hands of the poisoner, as long as the other side wants, as long as this taste is contaminated to a little, Li Changtian will be scared out of his wits.
Therefore, Li Changtian’s life and death are also pinched in the hands of that man. In the pulse of
Feng Changyang, I’m afraid it’s been several years since he was poisoned, so in these years, Li Changtian will gradually collapse.
Mu Lan also suddenly understood what he had not understood before.
Li Changtian’s body has been good, why will suddenly appear in such a situation, as expected, everything must have a reason.
But Mu Lan is always calm, and did not intervene in what, just let Feng Changyang according to their own prescription to give medicine.
On the contrary, Gao Qian, the king of the Western Regions, arranged a lot of activities.
Hunting, riding, jousting, every day is very lively.
Not to mention this day’s palace banquet, not only has the food of the Western Regions, but also takes into account the eating habits of the big week, there will also be light dishes.
After all, for the people of Dazhou, it is not good to eat too much of these things.
Li Shiyu has rarely come back since he first appeared in Mu Lan’s house.
But Li Shiyu’s news, Mu Lan has always known, Linglong will tell Mu Lan Li Shiyu’s news from time to time.
For example, Li Shiyu went to Li Changtian today and stayed for a whole afternoon.
For example, Li Shiyu was ordered to deal with official business. For
another example, those who come from Kyoto, from the hands of Li Shiyu to the hands of Li Changtian.
It seems that in this short period of time, Li Shiyu, who had no idea at all, suddenly occupied everyone’s line of sight and instantly became a red man in front of Li Changtian. When
Li Changtian saw Li Shiyu, he would let all the people go out. Even Wang Yong didn’t stay. No one knew what Li Changtian and Li Shiyu said. After Li Shiyu left, Li Changtian was like a person who had nothing to do, as if nothing had happened.
But such a change is still a thunderbolt.
There are always people who are not calm.
Mu Lan is very clear, Li Shiyu is not calm, he is constantly close to Li Changtian, nothing more than to force Li Shiyuan, who is still in Kyoto.
Li Shiyuan is also waiting for the opportunity.
Whoever has seized the opportunity in the battle for the throne has won the absolute head-on.
But this every day, for Mu Lan is suffering, because every day, looking at Li Shiyu calm and calm appearance, but can think in such calm, need to face what kind of bloody storm.
Mu Lan did not speak.
After serving the queen mother for dinner, she quietly walked out of the queen mother’s house, but unexpectedly saw Xu Luochen hurrying back from not far away.
Obviously, when seeing Mu Lan, Xu Luochen was also somewhat frightened: “Mu..” Sister Mu. “Where did you go?”
Mu Lan asked casually.
Xu Luochen stammered, “No..” Not going anywhere, I.. I just went around the back.
“Back?” Mu Lan looked at Xu Luochen doubtfully. What’s the view
from back here?
But Mu Lan did not say anything, explained a few words, and then Xu Luochen went in with his head down, Mu Lan took a strange look, but it was quiet.
Xu Luochen was a little strange, but he could not say where it was strange.
It looks like a little woman’s shyness.
This matter
Mu Lan sank, also did not say anything, just explained the side of the slave, usually pay more attention to some of Xu Luochen’s actions, such a moment, Mu Lan’s wariness has never been put down, as if you look close to people on weekdays, may also give you a ruthless knife. In
this palace, people’s hearts will change.
It’s just that Mu Lan doesn’t want Xu Luochen to be the one who changed.
Mu Lan collected the mood, calmly left, and today Gao Qian is with the people to hunt, the stockade is quiet a lot, in addition to leaving the guards, also did not have the noise of the past.
Mu Lan is rare to get empty, think of Xu Luochen’s words, this just walked toward the direction of the back hill.
……
The western regions are sparsely populated, not desert or hills, trees are very few, even if you see trees, it is bare, at a glance and big week of exquisite is not comparable to the degree.
Only the grassland has a green color, but with the cold season, such green also no longer exists, become yellow up.
Such a scene is nothing to see, if you want to enjoy it reluctantly, it can only be called relaxed and happy.
Mulan thought, if not because of the special geographical location of the western regions, big week has always been good friends with the western regions, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to travel a long way to such a place. Another reason is that Li Changtian is good at hunting, and this hunting ground in the Western Regions is the most exciting.
All in all, this is a magical place. Everything
you can’t think of can happen here, and what you think should exist can never be seen here.
But all this does not affect Mu Lan’s mood. It is undeniable that sparsely populated places can also make people relaxed and happy, and have a unique style at a glance.
And today’s Mu Lan, rare to wear a colorful clothes, this is many times in and out of the queen mother that, was teased by the queen mother, said that our big week’s Crown Princess can not be so simple and elegant, next time to change into bright clothes, can not be compared to go.
Because of this, Mu Lan just changed a few bright clothes, the queen mother saw, satisfied smile, Mu Lan is just to coax the queen mother happy, so what to wear, for Mu Lan did not think.
But on the contrary, such bright colors become more and more conspicuous in this open land.
Mu Lan walked quietly for a while, and her eyebrows soon twisted up.
Because not far ahead, she vaguely saw footprints.
Mu Lan’s footsteps stopped, standing quietly, looking down, the footprints above are crossed, but they are very clear, because no one has been here.
One of them is clearly a woman’s footprint. Who is the other one?
And the daughter’s words, before only Xu Luochen came.
This, Mu Lan’s eyes slightly narrow, Xu Luochen will appear here with whom, and before the queen mother that saw Xu Luochen hurried back, in addition to being seen by their own panic, there is a trace of a small woman’s shy.
Mu Lan is an experienced person, see clearly, not to mention Xu Luochen is not a person who can hide his emotions in his face.
Obviously Xu Luochen from entering the palace to the present, is not with oneself, is with the queen mother, when can know other people?
Is it someone in the palace?
Mu Lan’s eyebrows a twist, suddenly, her eyes become sharp, half squatted down, in a solid land, Mu Lan saw a fast fall of the waist decoration of the brocade, as if pulled up.
What kind of situation, can pull down the waist decoration brocade belt, Mu Lan sank. Mu Lan, the owner of
the brocade belt, soon recognized Li Shili.
So was Xu Luochen and Li Shili together before?
Mu Lan’s eyebrows twisted up, some quietly, this brocade belt was handled by Mu Lan, will not be found by the second person.
Her mind is recalling the situation of the last life.
But Mulan is very clear, he did not have much impression of Xu Luochen in his last life, the same is seen in Palace of Gathered Elegance, but then went their separate ways, even where Xu Luochen eventually went, Mulan has no perception. And Li Shili, Mu Lan only remember that he was safely removed from the battle of Li Shiyu and Li Shiyuan to seize the throne, and the king left the palace. The
rest, Mu Lan no longer know.
But Mu Lan can be clear that when Li Shili left the palace, there was no imperial concubine.
So Xu Luochen?
Shen Shen, Mu Lan twisted her eyebrows, and finally she lowered her eyebrows and eyes and did not think any more. In this world, everyone has their own fate trajectory, she can not do the Virgin Mary, it is impossible to change the fate of everyone, not to mention, the current situation has made Mulan too busy to take into account too much. Everything
can only wait and see what happens.
Quiet, Mu Lan’s palm gradually clenched into a fist, until the ground gradually falling snow, Mu Lan was surprised to look up, the sky did not know when it began to snow again.
And the snowflakes, one after another, came menacingly.
After a while, the ground has been covered with snow and dyed with a white, before Xu Luochen and Li Shili’s footprints have been covered with snow, completely invisible.
Mu Lan is very quiet looking at everything in front of her, she is thinking, human life is not like now, can easily erase, what can not be seen.
She looked up and the snow fell on her face.
Then she chuckled and reached out to catch the snowflakes naturally, as if she had never seen such a large snowflake in Dazhou, and could even stay in the palm for a long time without melting.
Mu Lan knows more clearly that this heavy snow means that the winter in the Western Regions is really coming.
Suddenly, a mink cloak draped over Mu Lan’s body, the black cloak blocked the cold outside, but also blocked the very gorgeous clothes on Mu Lan’s body.
Mu Lan’s nose tip is the familiar sandalwood fragrance, light, but particularly good smell.
She turned around quietly, and sure enough, she saw Li Shiyu’s tall figure appear in front of her. Mu Lan chuckled, “I didn’t go to the hunting ground. Why did you suddenly come back?”
Hunting ground from here will not be too close, one to one, plus hunting things, at least a day’s effort, and so on these people come back, at least it is night.
But now Li Shiyu suddenly appeared in front of him.
Also like, from just to the western regions that time, Mu Lan can see Li Shiyu face to face, this half a month, she did not have such a chance, can take a good look at this person.
Li Shiyu looked down at Mu Lan and laughed. “I missed you, so I came back.”
Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes also with a smile, and then looked at Li Shiyu, eyebrows suddenly twisted up, the next moment, before the smile turned into worry, reached out to quickly look at Li Shiyu’s waist, this person’s waist was injured, is clearly a sword, just bandaged, plus wearing dark clothes, this did not let people notice.
But Mu Lan could tell at a glance that the wound was fresh.
Even today, during hunting. Mu Lan is even more aware of
Li Shiyu’s ability, and it is very difficult for anyone to easily hurt Li Shiyu, so now
it is Li Shiyu who meets Mu Lan’s eyes and explains lightly: “I was injured while hunting.” For the
rest, Li Shiyu did not explain.
Mu Lan does not need Li Shiyu to explain, even if he was injured while hunting, it is by no means so simple, now everything has become transparent, Li Shiyu no longer hides, and Li Shiyuan began to confront, which also means that a lot of things will be brought to the table. If
two kings fight, one of them will die.
Li Shiyu’s injury has become reasonable.
“Let me see.” Mu Lan said directly. Then
Mu Lan will go to check the wound on Li Shiyu’s waist, but the next moment, Mu Lan’s hand has been clasped by Li Shiyu: “It doesn’t matter, Rong Jiu has already dealt with it, it will be all right.”. The toxin in the wound has also been cleaned up, and there is no need to worry about that.
Mu Lan did not move again.
If the man says it’s all right, it must be all right.
But when he looked at Li Shiyu again, Mu Lan couldn’t help saying, “Can’t he wait?”
“He’s in Kyoto, and even if he knows about the situation in the Western Regions, he’s much slower. If I hadn’t miscalculated, he would be ready to leave Kyoto for the Western Regions now.” “He’ll be here in about ten days,” says Li Shi-yu lightly.
This is Li Shiyuan.
Mulan quieted down for a moment and then asked, “No news from Kyoto?”
“Not yet.” Li Shi-yu’s face is calm. “Even if there is, it should be lagging behind.” The implication is
that Li Shiyu and Li Shiyuan are in different places, and they are strangers to each other, and Li Changtian’s closeness to Li Shiyu now will inevitably make the one in Kyoto unbearable. How could
Li Shiyuan let things go beyond his control. It
was a long time before Mulan answered, “Be more careful.”
“I will.” Li Shiyu answered, looked down at Mu Lan, and naturally kissed her on the forehead, and said nothing more.
The two of them just held each other quietly. The warm and sticky feeling of
Mu Lan’s palm gradually dried up.
It seems that Li Shiyu’s waist is no longer bleeding.
Mu Lan is a doctor, too clear that the wound has been treated but still oozing blood, which proves that the extent of the wound is far beyond his expectations, Li Shiyu is reluctant to say, do not want to worry about themselves, Mu Lan did not continue to ask, do not want to distract Li Shiyu.
She was quiet. “Go back first. It’s snowing here.”
“Walk with me.” Li Shiyu unexpectedly opened his mouth. Stunned,
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and quieted down, but finally did not refuse: “Good.”
And the snow in the sky is more and more obvious, originally just a vast expanse of white ground, now even began to pile up, gradually thicker and thicker.
Even on the treetops, it turned into a snow-covered picture.
Mu Lan came out without an oil umbrella, because he did not expect it to snow, so at this moment, Mu Lan, black cloak and hair, have been gradually dyed white
, and so have the people around him.
But the two men still walked quietly in the snow, their footprints appeared in the snow, but soon they were covered by falling snow, which saved the time to hide their traces.
Mu Lan looked at it quietly and suddenly burst out laughing.
“What are you laughing at?” Li Shiyu asked Mu Lan.
His hand is very natural to hold Mu Lan’s palm, usually the temperature of this person’s palm is very hot, but now I do not know if it is because of the injury, Li Shiyu’s palm is even a little cold, not as good as Mu Lan’s temperature.
Mu Lan looked up at Li Shiyu, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and then he saw that the man had been dyed into white hair by the snow, and suddenly he was quiet again.
With a smile and a quietness, Li Shiyu was somewhat puzzled: “What’s the matter?” After a while
, Mulan said, “You make me feel like you’ve turned white overnight.” The
slender hand took the initiative to stick to Li Shiyu’s cheek, quietly watching, snowflakes are also very appropriate to fall on this person’s eyebrows, suddenly big up.
Li Shiyu listened to Mu Lan’s words, suddenly chuckled, and then once again gently grabbed Mu Lan’s hand, Mu Lan quiet, did not speak, looking at Li Shiyu, some do not quite understand what this person is going to do.
This person just led himself, step by step in the snow, without any shelter, let the snow fall.
Has been walking to the birch forest not far away, Li Shiyu just loosened Mu Lan, let Mu Lan look at himself, Mu Lan’s eyebrows twisted, just want to open his mouth, Li Shiyu has interrupted Mu Lan’s words.
“This is not very good. From the beginning to the present, we can go all the way to our old age.” “I want to hold your hand,” Li Shiyu said quietly, with every word clear and solemn. “I want to hold your hand, from when you were young, all the way to when you had white hair, and never let go of your temples.”
The original cold palm, as if with a trace of temperature, through the palm of Mu Lan, spread all over her body.
Mu Lan listened to such words, quiet, did not speak for a long time, she lowered her eyebrows, looked at the tips of their shoes, her shoes moved, the snow made a babbling sound. It
was a long time before Mu Lan answered, “Good.”. Remember your promise to me to do this all the way to my old age.
Li Shiyu hum, and then hold Mu Lan into his arms.
His voice was soft but powerful: “Lan Er, no matter what happens in the future, you will be the only one in my heart.”
Mu Lan hum, in the arms of Li Shiyu rubbed, did not open his mouth again.
Yeah, you can’t expect too much.
If you choose this man who will eventually be in the position of emperor, you can’t stick to a pair of people all your life, and this person can put you on the top of his heart, which is his only one, it’s enough.
Such an idea soon dispelled the gloom that Mu Lan had accumulated in his heart.
Two people embrace each other quietly.
It was not until Mulan let go of the man that he said, “Let’s go back. The snow here is getting heavier and heavier. Your wound is in hunting. Lord Yung can’t give you a good treatment. You have to go back and deal with it again.”
Li Shi-yu hum and suddenly looks at Mu Lan with a smile on his face. “Are you going to your place or mine?”
Mu Lan’s face did not change color: “You.”
Then she voluntarily turned around and walked in the direction of the camp.
Li Shiyu seemed to understand Mu Lan’s choice, laughed out loud in a low voice, and said nothing.
Li Shiyu is still holding Mu Lan’s hand, toward the distant camp, Mu Lan did not refuse, let this person lead, take the initiative to go to Li Shiyu that, because if there is an accident, Mu Lan left much faster than injured Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu’s injury will not be the end, but the beginning, and then it will become more and more intensive.
Even though Li Shiyu is skilled in martial arts, it is easy to hide in the open and difficult to guard against hidden arrows.
Sink, Mu Lan did not say anything, but gradually wrinkled eyebrows, is worried about Li Shiyu and care. Li Shiyu felt it and suddenly tightened Mu Lan’s hand.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu, but Li Shiyu’s footsteps stopped, his big hand gently brushed away the snowflakes on Mu Lan’s face, their eyes crossed, but they did not say anything, quietly looking at each other.
And the stockade is not far away.
Mulan pulled his hand out and said, “OK, you go in first. I’ll be there in a minute.”
Li Shiyu hum, did not say anything, and then he took a very heavy look at Mu Lan, and then walked toward the stockade, Mu Lan watched all the way, watching Li Shiyu’s figure into the stockade, she lifted this step, quietly toward their own camp.
Linglong is waiting for Mulan in the camp. When she sees Mulan coming back, she is obviously relieved: “Empress, you can come back.”
Mu Lan nodded, Linglong looked at Mu Lan a snowflake, immediately welcomed Mu Lan into the house, previously Mu Lan left from the queen mother, obviously not far away, but Linglong has not waited for Mu Lan to come back, coupled with constant snow, which makes Linglong a little worried.
But Linglong is waiting here, at such a time, it is best to stand by.
Besides, Linglong believes in Mu Lan.
Seeing Mulan coming back, Linglong felt relieved and said, “I’ll prepare some hot water for you. It’ll be better if you take a bath.”
The whole process, Linglong did not mention Mu Lan’s cloak, that is a man’s cloak, who will be, Linglong naturally is also very clear.
Mulan shook his head and refused. “No, you wait here. I’m going out later. No matter who comes, they all say I’m not feeling well and have a rest. Don’t let anyone in until I come back.”
“Yes.” Linglong answered and didn’t ask much.
Mu Lan nodded, quickly took a few carry-on medicine bottles, and then left in a hurry, the cloak on the body is still there, this cloak, naturally also want to send back to Li Shiyu that, rather than stay here, is not appropriate.
Now the stockade is still quiet.
Mu Lan also did not dare to ignore, until appeared in front of Li Shiyu’s camp, Rong Jiu had obviously come back, saw Mu Lan, immediately went up to meet: “Miss Mu.”. Your Highness is waiting for you inside.
Mu Lan did not say much, Rong Jiu lifted the curtain, Mu Lan has been drilled in, Li Shiyu sitting on the edge of the bed, the ground burning bonfire, warm a lot, and this person has also taken off his clothes, strong chest exposed, Mu Lan had no time to take into account the male color in front of him, eyes are falling on Li Shiyu’s waist. The
wound had already dyed the gauze red, and although it had dried up now, I could imagine how much effort it would take for this man to walk around with himself against the wound.
Quiet, Mulan quickly walked over: “It’s so serious, but you told me it’s all right.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly, but he was really appeasing Mu Lan.
Mu Lan did not speak, looking at Li Shiyu disapprovingly, she half squatted down, untied Li Shiyu’s gauze again, this just saw the wound inside.
Sword stab wounds, not to mention, there are traces of bows and arrows, with poison on them, although the toxin has been cleaned up, but the surface is still inevitably festering, sure enough, as Mu Lan thought, in the environment of the hunting ground, it is impossible to bandage well, even the wound cleaning, are not very clean. Just
in a hurry.
Mu Lan twisted eyebrows, let Rong Jiu send hot water, and then carefully clean Li Shiyu’s wound, even the above debris are taken out one by one, while doing, while sticking to the hemostatic ointment.
Her voice was soft and clear: “It hurts.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Li Shiyu is calm.
Such a wound for Li Shiyu, has long been a normal thing, in this person’s body, large and small wounds countless, some scarred, some have been invisible. When
Mu Lan sees this person naked for the first time, that kind of feeling is shocking.
But Mu Lan didn’t say anything.
Took a long time, Mu Lan to deal with these wounds, carefully on the medicine, and then take the white gauze to bandage, this time, the gauze no longer oozing blood.
“Lan’er has worked hard.” Li Shiyu thanked him in a low voice.
Mu Lan didn’t stand up until the gauze was tied up. The soles of her feet were a little sore, but she didn’t show it. She still stood steadily: “It’s not hard. These days, don’t touch the water on the wound, and don’t get infected again. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome.”. There is still some poison on the surface of the blade, and it will take some time to recover.
Mu Lan explained carefully, “I’ll ask Ling Long to bring me the medicine. You must take it for three meals a day. Don’t neglect it.”
This was a warning. Looking at Li Shiyu’s eyes, he could not have been more serious. What Li Shiyu saw in Mu Lan’s eyes was his concern for himself. He laughed out loud in a low voice, and then he answered, “Good.”
The voice fell, Li Shiyu some can not help clasping Mu Lan’s waist, Mu Lan a stiff, think of this person’s injured waist and dare not move, finally can only passively look at Li Shiyu, and Li Shiyu’s thin lips have been stuck down.
His voice was deep, but very gentle, and his eyes were even more tender, as if they were going to swallow Mu Lan into his stomach a little bit: “I’ve been thinking about this for a long time in the past half month.”
The voice fell, but the thin lips on the lips suddenly became barbaric, inch by inch approaching, completely attacking the city, so that Mu Lan easily surrendered, passively put his hand on the man’s chest, there is no way to take this man.
Finally, Mu Lan sighed silently, clinging to the man, smelling the sandalwood fragrance of the man, listening to the strong heartbeat of the man, until Li Shiyu enjoyed himself and took the initiative to loosen Mu Lan.
Mu Lan just retreated from Li Shiyu’s bosom, white skin slightly suffused with red, still some gasp, but when looking at Li Shiyu again, Mu Lan appears to be particularly calm.
I can’t stay here any longer. I’m going back first. You remember what I said. Take good care of yourself. I’ll ask Linglong to bring the medicine. Mu Lan is not ambiguous.
Li Shi-yu sighed and looked at the Second Ranch in a good mood. “Aren’t you going to deliver it yourself?” He asked.
Mu Lan looked at the man angrily and ignored the man’s teasing.
When Li Shiyu saw Mu Lan’s expression again, he chuckled.
He did not urge Mu Lan to leave, Mu Lan also did not leave in a hurry, two people stood in place for a while, suddenly, Mu Lan seemed to think of something, looked at Li Shiyu.
“What do you want to say?” Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows and asked directly.
“Have you ever been in the hunting ground today?” Mu Lan asked directly. Li Shili, who was
suddenly mentioned, let Li Shiyu twist his eyebrows. He knew very well that Mu Lan would not mention a person for no reason at such a time.
“What’s the matter?” Li Shiyu’s tone also became serious.
Mu Lan didn’t answer, as if he was trying to decide what to say, but Li Shiyu’s voice continued: “The hunting ground is very big. When I arrived early in the morning, I saw Jiudi. Later, I went my own way, so you don’t know if he’s there or not.”
Li Shiyu is also telling the truth.
Mu Lan thought about it, and it was really impossible to think that Zaihe was Li Shili just by a brocade belt. The
current situation is chaotic, and it is not excluded that someone can guide it. After a moment’s
silence, Mulan said, “Maybe I was wrong.”
“What did you say about Jiudi and Xu Luochen?” Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth. Stunned,
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and said, “You..”
“If it’s a secret, it’s not a secret.” Li Shi-yu says directly, “In this palace, even people with pure minds will be dyed and discolored after a long time. I know the reason you like Xu Luochen is because her mind is pure, unlike the people in this palace, who are full of conspiracies.”
Mu Lan did not deny it.
But a person’s mind cannot be so simple. If Xu Luochen can come here, do you really think that Xu Luochen’s mind can be as simple as a child’s, without any greed? Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan quietly. “It’s just that people hide well and hide badly.”
「……」
Staying by the Queen Mother’s side is the best choice at the moment. Naturally, Xu Luochen didn’t want to be a concubine, and at the moment, her father’s official position and rank made it impossible for her to find a suitable husband, and you were the most glorious person in the Palace of Gathered Elegance at that time. She took the initiative to greet you and get close to you, so she could climb up to you and avoid a lot of trouble later.
Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly, and these tricks became transparent in front of Li Shiyu.
Mu Lan could not be more stunned.
Her heart bursts of coolness, can not say the feeling, at least Xu Luochen is her sincere treatment, as a result, such sincerity is also a prerequisite.
So she stayed beside the queen mother, but she was close to you. On the side of the queen mother, you can get close to the princes. Naturally, she can find the target she is looking for. There are so many princes in the palace, but why did Xu Luochen choose only the ninth brother? “Don’t you understand that?” Asks Li Shi-yu.
Mu Lan stopped talking. Of course
she understood.
Li Shiyuan is impossible, follow Li Shiyuan, with Xu Luochen’s paragraph number, not to mention Mu Lan, Mu Zhihua can easily kill her, she even has no room to turn over, not to mention, Mu Lan entered the East Palace after a series of accidents, panic situation.
Li Shiyu need not think, completely impossible and Xu Luochen has any involvement.
The rest can choose, and safe people are not many, really only Li Shili, but when Xu Luochen and Li Shili hook up, it is hard to say, Li Shili this person’s mind is very sophisticated, Xu Luochen thought he chose a good man, perhaps this good man, is the person who sent her out in the end.
Just Mu Lan wants to understand the reason why Xu Luochen chose Li Shili.
What about Li Shili? Out of what kind of motive? Is
it just fun?
“No matter what’s going on between Xu Luochen and Jiudi, you and I can’t interfere.” “No matter what happens to Xu Luochen in the future, this is the path she has chosen, and it has nothing to do with you.”
Hit the nail on the head.
Mu Lan hum sound,
when oneself is too busy, really really can not cover all aspects.
Besides, everyone has his own destiny.
“But.” Li Shiyu’s voice suddenly sank. “Xu Luochen has such a mind, which proves that she is not simple, so there should be a proper distance between her and Xu Luochen.”. I know you’ve been handling this very well. Anyone who smiles at you in this palace is likely to be the last person to give you a fatal blow. Do you understand what I mean?
“I understand.” Mu Lan answered lightly. “Be careful when you go back,” said
Li Shi-yu.
“Good.” Mu Lan answered. Naturally,
she will be careful.
Soon, Mu Lan turned and walked out of the house, but Li Shiyu followed him. In front of the door curtain, Li Shiyu took Mu Lan’s hand. Mu Lan was stunned, thinking that this man had something to explain.
But Li Shiyu just looked at Mu Lan like this and said softly, “Wait for me. Soon I won’t be so secretive.”
“Good.” Mu Lan nodded.
Li Shiyu personally opened the door curtain for Mu Lan, two people’s hands are still holding, in the moment of opening the door curtain, Mu Lan’s face instantly changed, but Li Shiyu and Rong Jiu are very calm.
Because Mu Lan saw that Gao Qian and Qing Huan had entered the camp.
Naturally, Mu Lan and Li Shiyu hand in hand appearance, two people also see clearly.
Gao Qian was calm and looked at him without changing his face.
Ching Huan almost screamed, “You..” You
But for a long time, Qing Huan could not say a complete sentence. Mu Lan’s face is also very ugly, obviously did not expect to meet Gao Qian and Qing Huan under such circumstances.
Mu Lan quickly calmed down and looked at Li Shiyu subconsciously.
Li Shiyu did not speak and motioned to Mu Lan to calm down with his eyes.
Mu Lan nodded, and then did not say anything more, even calmly and calmly said hello to Gao Qian, took a look at Qing Huan, and then quickly left.
Rong Jiu escorted Mu Lan out of the camp and then turned back.
“Is it over?” Li Shiyu asked Gao Qian lightly.
Gao Qian hum, but casual.
“After all, someone has had an accident. Although it looks like an accident, it has affected your mood after all. In addition, your father seems to be not feeling well, so today is over ahead of schedule.” Gao Qian explained.
Li Shiyu gave a hum.
Qing Huan was still so shocked in the previous picture that he could not say a word, and the red lips moved and moved, and he could hardly believe what he had seen.
Li Shiyu and Mu Lan.
No, at the palace banquet that night, Ching Huan should have noticed.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan’s eyes too hot, just because Mu Lan is the crown princess of the Dynasty, is Li Shiyu’s second sister-in-law, so Qing Huan did not think much, feel that such an unreliable thing is not like Li Shiyu sitting out.
As a result, Qing Huan thought too well.
Li Shiyu and Mu Lan holding hands, discerning people can see such ambiguity.
“Brother Yu, that’s your second wife. How could you do that?” Without thinking, Ching Huan blurted out, “You’re going against the moral code!”
She was trembling with shock and her voice was stuttering.
On the contrary, Li Shiyu could not be more calm, and did not explain anything to Qing Huan.
“Brother Yu, you and Mu Lan won’t have a good result. A woman like her will be drowned in your big week!”! If you don’t follow the woman’s way, the red apricot will go out of the wall. She doesn’t deserve it!
Qing Huan’s eyes were red, as if the dream of many years had been broken overnight.
Li Shi-yu’s brows were already twisted, and his eyes became more and more gloomy: “Shut up.”
Qing Huan was even more shocked.
She could not believe what she had heard, so many years, Li Shiyu had never opened his mouth to himself like this, but now, because of a woman, this woman or his second sister-in-law, and spoke evil words to himself.
Qing Huan is not reconciled.
She looked at Li Shiyu angrily, then directly opened the curtain, and ran out without looking back, while running, she could still hear the cry of Qing Huan.
“You have hurt my sister very badly.” Gao Qian looked at the figure of Qing Huan running out, and then opened his mouth lightly.
“It’s better than living in an unrealistic fantasy every day.” What Li Shiyu said was direct, without any emotion at all, and even more ruthless.
Gao Qian smiled.
Feelings are unreasonable, so Gao Qian never touches feelings. Feelings easily make a king lose his mind. Besides, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, so why hang on a tree.
“You have a lot of nerve.” Kao Chien smiled. “Ching Huan is right. That’s your second wife.” The news of the
western regions and the big week was slow, before that, Gao Qian and Li Shiyu had not seen each other for a year, and naturally it was impossible to know what had happened before the big week, let alone guess the relationship between Li Shiyu and Mu Lan. Aren’t
you afraid that the crown prince will be cruel to you, or cruel to the crown princess? In my memory, Li Shi-yuan was never a fuel-efficient lamp, but a ruthless man. Gao Qian tells the truth.
Li Shiyuan would never let go of anyone who had a rebellious heart, but would rather kill him by mistake.
It’s just that Li Shiyuan and Li Shiyu took a fancy to a woman at the same time, which surprised Gao Qian: “I’ve heard a little about this Mu Lan. He’s a tough character.”. Quite sophisticated. You don’t look like you’re going to keep a very sophisticated person around.
Li Shiyu listened quietly, and it was not until Gao Qian had finished that Li Shiyu said lightly, “She is my future queen.”
Kao Chien raised his eyebrows, but eventually chuckled: “I’m afraid it’s not that easy.”
“When have I ever missed something I wanted?” Li Shiyu asked in reply.
Kao Chien laughs, “There’s another map. Have you got it?”
If I guess correctly, it should already be in the hands of the prince. But the map is not complete. The legend of the Black Hills. This map is in the hearts of men. Li Shi-yu said lightly, “This proves that there is always a key person who will appear.”
Gao Qian said, “So Mu Lan is the key person?”
“Not really.” Li Shiyu twisted his eyebrows. “But there must be a reason why the prince can protect Mu Lan so much. We’ll see what happens.”
You’re waiting to see what happens. That’s not what the prince thinks. No accident, after ten days, he should be in person to the western regions. After all, what you are doing now has made him impatient. Gao Qian said calmly, lowering his eyebrows and eyes. “All this is just as you expected.”
Li Shiyu didn’t speak.
After that, Gao Qian didn’t open his mouth any more. He patted Li Shiyu on the shoulder and said, “Be more careful with everything.”. If you have something to say, don’t hesitate to ask me.
“Thank you.” Li Shiyu answered.
As for Ching Huan, you don’t have to worry. Ching Huan is not a pushy person. If you figure it out, you’ll give it up, and she won’t go around talking nonsense about it. Kao Chien still excused Ching Huan for a moment. “I wish Ching Huan could marry into your house. Now it seems that not only did she think too much, but I also thought too much.”
“It won’t do her any good to marry into my house.” Li Shi-yu says lightly, “I can’t protect you at any time and at any place. Sooner or later, something will happen.”
“What about Mulan?” Gao Qian raised his eyebrows.
She was able to wipe out all the dangers around her before I did. When Mu Lan kills people, he is ruthless to a man. Even I admire Mu Lan’s strategy. The more dangerous the situation is, the calmer she is. Only such a person can stand at the end.
Li Shiyu’s appreciation of Mu Lan is obvious, Gao Qian is somewhat surprised, after all, Li Shiyu so evaluation of a person, very few.
“The more you say that, the more curious I am about Mulan.” What Gao Qian said was calm.
Li Shiyu smiled and said nothing.
Two people stood quietly for a while, the rest of the conversation is the present situation, but Gao Qian did not stay in Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu was injured, Gao Qian came to check, reasonable, but Gao Qian stayed for a long time, it is hard to avoid criticism.
At such a time, Gao Qian must keep a safe distance from anyone, which is the best policy. Closer
, Li Shiyu will only be buckled with a disloyal idea. Before
Gao Qian left, he suddenly looked at Li Shiyu and said, “The jade pendant on your waist isn’t there?”
“I gave it to someone.” Li Shiyu spoke quietly. There was a flash of surprise
in Kao Chien’s eyes: “That’s..”
You know, that jade pendant is equivalent to see Li Shiyu himself, can easily mobilize Li Shiyu outside all the dark guards, those dark guards like an elite army, and Li Shiyu was easily given.
Li Shiyu briefly described the situation at that time.
Kao Chien looked at Li Shi-yu and said, “What is the identity of the other party?”
Li Shi-yu is calm: “I’m waiting for her to come to me one day.”
This matter can be big or small, Gao Qian did not ask what more, besides, as long as Li Shiyu is still, a command, the jade pendant will be invalid, even if the other party took it, it is no use, obviously, now Li Shiyu did not intend to do so.
Kao Chien was quiet for a moment. “Be more careful,” he said. “I’m afraid what happened today will happen again. It will only be harder.”
Li Shiyu hum, said nothing.
Gao Qian did not stay any longer and quickly turned around and walked out.
Li Shiyu stood in the room with his hands on his back. The snow outside the
house was still falling, and there was no intention of stopping.
At dinner, Mu Lan accompanied the queen mother to attend, this time not as lively as when she first came, that is, we eat and chat together, the atmosphere is also very good.
The queen mother gradually adapted to the weather in the western regions, but a lot of talkative.
Gao Qian’s imperial concubine accompanied the queen mother to chat, Dai Fei also in the side, from time to time said a few words, the atmosphere is very good, Li Fei is very quiet, not very involved in the speech, like a transparent person, will not attract anyone’s attention.
Mu Lan is quietly making tea, as if everything here has nothing to do with himself.
And the tea delivered to everyone is what everyone likes.
Even what was sent to Gao Qian’s concubine was a very distinctive black tea.
Nature is also satisfying, and the queen mother to see such a picture is smiling, with a Mulan can save a lot of things.
On the contrary, Xu Luochen was hiding from Mu Lan, unable to tell whether it was because of yesterday’s guilty conscience or because of other reasons, and even dared not look at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan naturally noticed it and didn’t say much.
As Li Shiyu said, this road, is Xu Luochen’s choice, she has no way to interfere, is a blessing or a curse, can only see Xu Luochen’s good fortune.
“This plum was brought back by the king from the southern barbarians, and it tastes good to my concubine.” Kao Chien’s concubine laughed coquettishly and pushed the plum in front of her. “Empress Dowager, please try.”
“Good.” The queen mother nodded, but she liked these little things.
Xu Luochen soon took a few to the queen mother, the queen mother while eating while nodding, is obviously quite satisfied. Also motioned to the side of the concubines to eat. Both
Princess Diana and Princess Li took it with a smile.
Li Fei is in the smell of plum, some nausea feeling, which makes the people present can not help but look at Li Fei, Li Fei seems to be some can not help, covering his mouth, until the plum in front of the slave was taken away, so the situation is better.
“Li Fei, what is this?” The queen mother is also a face of surprise.
Princess Diana smiled and said, “I’m afraid Princess Li is having a wedding.”. My concubine also looked like this when she was pregnant with Shi Li, and she felt sick when she saw the plum. Li Fei has been the most favored person around the emperor recently, and it’s reasonable to be happy. This is a happy event.
The queen mother also nodded. There
has always been the saying of Chongxi.
Now Li Changtian’s situation is sometimes good and sometimes bad, can have a happy event to spread out, there is no lack of a good thing, natural queen mother is also loved. Besides, although Li Fei is suddenly from the talented person, but Li Fei this period of time also did not hold the pet and Jiao, but is modest and courteous to everyone, the queen mother is not annoying.
“Go and bring Doctor Xu’s daughter Xuanlai to Concubine Li to have a look.” The queen mother ordered.
“Yes.” Xu Luochen answered.
But Mu Lan looked at Li Yao, Li Yao did not avoid Mu Lan’s eyes, without a trace of nodding, and then opened his mouth lightly: “I thank the Empress Dowager for her concern.”
The queen mother kept nodding, and her joy was obvious.
Princess Diana was also very quiet, drinking tea quietly, as if Princess Li’s pregnancy did not cause any waves for her. Mu Lan did not think much about Diana, Diana will not move now, so Li Fei pregnant or not, Diana will not care.
Besides, if you really want to do it, it’s not Princess Diana’s turn. Qu Huachang is already eyeing her covetously.
But Qu Huachang is now difficult to protect himself, so this life, Li Fei’s child where to go, is really a mystery.
Mu Lan sank, did not say anything, the movement in the hand also followed to stop.
Soon, Xu Yi Nu appeared in front of everyone, but she did not change her face to please Ann, this just stepped forward to give Liyao the pulse.
The Empress Dowager was a little worried. “Doctor Hsu, what’s the situation like?”
“Congratulations to the Empress.” Doctor Hsu loosened Li Fei’s hand and calmly said, “Li Fei is pregnant. She’s been pregnant for a month and a half.”
The queen mother kept nodding her head: “That’s a good thing, a good thing.”
Princess Diana looked calmly at Li Yao. “Congratulations, Princess Li.”
Li Yao was a little shy, but she still sat stiffly. Mu Lan said, “Congratulations, Li Fei.”
Liyao just nodded politely.
“Li Fei is stable, and there’s nothing serious. But since she’s pregnant, it’s better to be careful. The weather in the Western Regions changes a lot, and the slaves should pay attention to it on weekdays.” Doctor Xu said some polite words.
The queen mother turned around and ordered the slave, who could see that she was very happy with the child in her belly.
The Li family has not had such a happy event for a long time. Only when there is a new life can there be hope.
But before Mu Zhi painting is not easy to have, unexpectedly also dropped, that in the queen mother’s view is a bad omen.
She turned around and ordered the slave word by word: “Take good care of Concubine Li to the Ai family. If something happens to Concubine Li, the Ai family wants you to come and see her.”
The minions, of course, did not dare to stand by: “The minions obey.”
This happy event makes the atmosphere in the house lively, and everyone’s attention is on Li Fei’s body, only Mu Lan, still calm and calm. Outside the
house, Li Changtian and Gao Qian soon came back with people. When Li Chang-tien
heard the news, he was surprised: “Is this true?”
“Of course, it’s absolutely true. Can Hsu still be wrong?”. The queen mother pretended to be angry and asked.
Li Changtian walked quickly toward Li Fei, between the lines, full of concern for Li Fei, Gao Qian also said a few words of congratulations.
And several princes have come in one after another, Mu Lan’s line of sight still falls on Li Shiyu, at least now Mu Lan, Li Shiyu is not the same,
but can also clearly feel the tension between Li Shiyi and Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyi represents Li Shiyuan.
But on the surface, these people still go back and forth and are very intimate.
Hypocritical.
Mu Lan sneers, this just takes back the line of sight lightly, concentrates on the matter in the hand again, all around, Mu Lan already no longer pays attention to.
And Liyao pregnancy, for Mu Lan, can not change the situation, and the situation of the previous life is definitely different. Liyao is Li Shiyu’s eyes, as long as Liyao does not do anything out of line, then Liyao and the belly of the child can be safe and sound.
Because now Qu Huachang, has been unable to turn out any pattern.
The atmosphere is also harmonious.
Until Qing Huan appeared. Although
she did not show too much emotion in front of Mulan, but that kind of coldness is still obvious, Mulan holding the teapot’s hand paused, and then repeated the previous action without any trace.
Instead, Linglong walked up to Li Shiyu in front of Mu Lan and sat beside him, calling sweetly, “Brother Yu.”
Mulan quietly, she knew that this was Linglong provoking herself.
Even Linglong’s voice was neither light nor heavy, but the people present heard it clearly, and could not help but look at Linglong and Li Shiyu jokingly.
Li Shiyu did not change color. The difference
between Linglong and Mulan is that Linglong was born in the Western Regions and has always been bold and unrestrained. She can hold Li Shiyu’s hand in front of everyone without scruple, expressing their intimacy. She doesn’t care whether it is in line with decency and whether it makes people feel demeaning.
The western regions never mind these.
So in Linglong holding Li Shiyu’s hand, crisp voice came, between the lines is full of concern for Li Shiyu, but there is nothing unreasonable.
Li Shiyu twisted his eyebrows and said, “Let go.”
“I’m not loose.” Linglong is direct. “I’m going to hold you like this.”
In the dialogue between the two, the banter of the people around him became more obvious, and between the lines was the appearance of watching the scene of bustle. Li Shiyu’s eyebrows were tightened, only Mu Lan seemed to have nothing happened, quietly doing what he was doing, always indifferent.
“Fourth Brother, this Princess Ching Huan really has a soft spot for you.” Li Shi-li couldn’t help but joke, “According to my younger brother, it would be better to marry Princess Ching Huan and kill two birds with one stone.”
This is meaningful, even when speaking, Li Shili does not seem so serious.
But Li Shili started, and the rest of the people were also joking and heckling.
Even Li Chang-tien, who was in a good mood because Li Yao was pregnant, smiled and nodded: “That’s what I think. I don’t know what King Yu thinks.”
