Phoenix Nirvana: The Road
to Glory and Favor of the Demon Queen of the Confused Country. Anyone with a little brain can associate himself with the dancer of Wangxianglou.
So, Mu Lan wants to leave.
But such an idea was easily seen through by Li Shiyu.
Clearly called this person to get food, but also for this person from their own front to send away, but now, Mu Lan has completely fallen into a passive.
Because Mu Lan has no doubt that he really left without a sound.
She was fledgling, and before she could return to Mu Wang Fu, Li Shiyu would nail Hexiang’s head at the door of Wangxiang Lou and give it to herself.
Mu Lan cursed in a low voice.
She did not have a hard time with her injured foot, and finally she could only sit there indignantly.
As if before the honey trap also used in vain, this person easily saw through everything.
In the end, the person who is depressed is himself.
Mu Lan really didn’t leave.
It is estimated that less than half an hour, Li Shiyu came back, still holding the rabbit in his hand, when he walked into the cave, Li Shiyu took a very light look at Mu Lan, and then took back his eyes.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and looked at the rabbit handled by Li Shiyu, always feeling a little sick.
“I don’t eat these.” Mu Lan did not want to refuse.
“Sure?” Li Shiyu didn’t even lift his eyelids.
Originally not spacious cave, soon had let Li Shiyu set up firewood, flint lit the fire, just like magic, Li Shiyu put the rabbit on the shelf, constantly turned over and roasted it. The oil in
the sebum itself begins to sizzle.
Mu Lan fell down from yesterday, coma to the present, is almost watertight.
And not too spacious inside the cave has come bursts of the aroma of barbecue, so that Mu Lan could not help but swallow the next saliva. She
stood where she was.
Li Shiyu neatly turned over his face, but did not intend to speak to Mu Lan. Can not
say is intentional, or intentional, Li Shiyu is turned over the rabbit, roasted fragrant, directly to the direction of Mu Lan. The
fragrance is more obvious. After
Mu Lan was reborn, he seldom got angry and lost his temper, but in the face of such Li Shiyu, Mu Lan could not help cursing a few times in his heart.
Mulan is not good at this, but that doesn’t mean Mulan is not hungry. When
people are hungry, they will instinctively look for food.
Li Shiyu made it clear that he was seducing himself and jumped into his trap on his own initiative. After all, the person who had previously refused with righteous words was himself.
But this person, such intentional or unintentional action, but always maintained.
I didn’t mean to open my mouth.
Even after roasting, Li Shiyu naturally tore a piece of meat, as if trying to taste it.
Such an action is even more mouth-watering.
Mu Lan endured, finally took a step toward the direction of Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu eyelids did not move, let alone look at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan also did not talk nonsense with Li Shiyu and reached out in the direction of the roast rabbit.
Li Shiyu’s voice was neither too salty nor too bland: “It’s not that I don’t want to eat. What are you doing here with your hand?”
“Suddenly I want to eat. Can’t I?” Mu Lan’s answer also appears not to change color.
Now, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan.
Now Mu Lan, less wise and calm when he meets things, is like a stubborn little girl who loses her temper, with long eyelashes blinking, pupils with obvious reluctance, but more helpless.
Finally, Li Shiyu laughed out loud.
Even so, Mu Lan is not willing to easily beg for mercy.
See Li Shiyu smile, Mu Lan’s hand stiffened, do not know whether to continue or stop.
And Li Shiyu’s warm palm has clasped Mu Lan’s wrist, a slight effort, Mu Lan had no time to exclaim, has been brought to the side of Li Shiyu.
The two men are very close. The smell of sandalwood on
the man’s body was still clearly visible, but mixed with a trace of blood and the smell of earth, which could not be dispersed for a long time.
Mulan’s white teeth bit his lower lip, but he never meant to open his mouth.
Li Shiyu did not say a word more.
Only after Li Shiyu grabbed Mu Lan to his side, he naturally loosened his hand, holding the shelf with one hand and tearing off the rabbit leg from the shelf with the other hand.
Mu Lan saw Li Shiyu’s movements, in the heart of the belly of this person, subconsciously think that this person is intentional, deliberately to do for themselves to see.
“Ben Wang is not as dark as you think.” Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Mu Lan’s heart.
Mu Lan: “… …” Can
this also be seen?
Has not had time to recover, roasted some slightly burnt, smell full of aroma of rabbit legs has been handed to the front of Mu Lan, to be exact, is the mouth of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and did not mean to take it. Only then did
Li Shiyu lift his eyelids and look thoroughly at Mu Lan. “You ordered Ben Wang to go out and get you something to eat, and now you’re still going to wait for Ben Wang to feed you?”
In a word, let Mu Lan completely cease and desist, directly grabbed the barbecue in Li Shiyu’s hand, and ate it silently.
Obviously very hungry, but Mu Lan or chew slowly, can not see the slightest wolfing down.
But can not deny that this meat is very tender, Li Shiyu roasted just right, and the leg meat is the most tender part of the whole meat, Li Shiyu did not hesitate to give himself.
Suddenly, my heart sank. An indescribable
feeling.
Mu Lan ate quietly and did not open his mouth to break the silence.
Li Shiyu obviously did not intend to talk to Mu Lan, but dealt with the rest of the meat, but the tender place, Li Shiyu carefully picked down, very naturally fed to the mouth of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was stunned.
Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Lan.
The atmosphere is slightly unnatural.
Mu Lan looked at the meat sent by Li Shiyu again and always felt that the man was provoking himself.
They have done everything, but it is not affectation, but feel that, in their capacity, such behavior is too intimate.
Only under such circumstances, Mu Lan suddenly wanted to enjoy such intimacy.
She moved her lips and bit down naturally, eating gently and delicately.
Li Shiyu sees Mu Lan move a mouth, silent laugh, two people still did not talk.
So that in the end, Li Shiyu ate meat very quickly, and in two or three times he had already cleaned up the rest of the skeleton.
On the contrary, Mu Lan is very slow.
Also did not personally bite the leg meat in his hand, but was taken back by Li Shiyu, a little bit of tear, personally fed to Mu Lan’s mouth. The ambiguous atmosphere in the
cave is even better.
Apart from the emotion flowing in the air, they didn’t even talk to each other.
Until the two men finished eating the barbecue, Li Shiyu, like a conjuring trick, conjured up clear mountain spring water, let Mu Lan wash his hands, and then cleaned up the residue in the cave.
It’s like none of this ever happened.
Mulan had returned to the stone bed and sat quietly. The clothes covering
his body were still Li Shiyu’s robe, and the man walked back and forth in a simple moonlight white gown. The temperature at the bottom of the
cliff is very low. It’s impossible not to be cold in
such a dress.
And the only source of fire is still close to his side.
Mu Lan quietly looked at Li Shiyu. After Li Shiyu finished dealing with the last dirty water, he looked at Mu Lan and said, “What’s the matter?” “Something’s up,” murmu
red Mulan.
Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows, but it was a little strange.
But Mu Lan slightly moved toward the side to move the position, on the stone bed very natural empty a position, Mu Lan did not speak, the look in the eyes motioned Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu knew and laughed out loud in a low voice.
Then he strode in the direction of Mulan. When
the man approached, the man’s natural body temperature, in Mu Lan’s view, was even greater than flickering flame in front of him, as if the temperature had risen, and the cold feeling was gradually dispelled. The sky outside the
cave also gradually brightened up.
Obviously two people are very close, but Li Shiyu does not seem to have any overstepping behavior, just quietly accompany.
Just like every night in the snow-falling building.
Each in its own territory, without interference.
Obviously is used to such a thing, but inexplicably feel the heart beat faster, and even the palms are sweating. Neither
lying down nor sitting down.
Finally, Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu out of the corner of his eye, but Li Shiyu seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, meditating on something.
Suddenly, Mu Lan’s eyebrows twisted up, the small face has been directed at the direction of Li Shiyu thoroughly looked past, and even slender fingers, gently put on Li Shiyu’s lips.
Her eyes swept up and down quickly.
Only then did he discover that the moonlight white robe was due to his back to himself, so Mu Lan did not find the blood on Li Shiyu’s waist and back.
It’s already dried up.
But we can still feel the shock at that time.
“You..” Mu Lan opened his mouth, “Poisoned.”. This is what I am implicated in.
Mu Lan said directly.
Then, Mu Lan hurried to stand up.
She was shocked by Li Shiyuan’s vigilance and wariness for a long time, completely ignoring Li Shiyuan’s cruelty in poisoning and never leaving any room.
The arrow shot at himself, the arrow with poison, naturally will not be a simple poison.
It must be a fatal move.
Mu Lan knew it all too well.
Only when she was sober, Li Shiyu had already dealt with her wounds, and the remaining poison was obviously clean.
Mu Lan himself studied medicine, has not felt the impact of toxins on themselves, in addition to the wound, as well as because of the use of powers and vitality damage, for a while and a half will not be able to recover, and not too much abnormal to go.
So, Mu Lan didn’t think much about it.
And now see Li Shiyuan’s lip color looming abnormal, only to realize that this person is implicated by himself.
She didn’t say much, and the white fingers of the onion reached Li Shiyu’s lips.
Li Shiyu just twisted his eyebrows and subconsciously grabbed Mu Lan’s slender wrist, but Mu Lan did not loosen his meaning, and his finger pulp pulled back and rubbed Li Shiyu’s lips.
“I caught it while I was working on it.” Mu Lan said directly, “I can’t judge it like this, but the prince’s behavior is cruel and cruel. This poison will not be simple. Even if it is contaminated a little bit, it will kill people.”
Mu Lan did not notice the nervousness in his tone.
Even the eyes are looking at Li Shiyu for a moment.
Li Shiyu just raised his thin lips, with a slight smile on his face, and looked at Mu Lan’s eyes with a smile all the time.
It’s just that Mu Lan was so focused that he couldn’t find the smile on Li Shiyu’s face.
It was not until the man’s face was pressed close that Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu with a face of surprise. There is only a slight gap between
them.
Li Shiyu’s deep eyes, with a trace of inexplicable stability, fell on Mu Lan’s body, black eyes like endless night, a little bit of people involved in it.
Mu Lan’s wrist is controlled by Li Shiyu, this person’s other hand has pinched Mu Lan’s mandible, but the palm can not feel any strength, warm and continuous.
Very, very heavy.
Mu Lan’s surface is calm, but the skin of the ear root begins to be slightly red.
The man’s gaze seemed magical.
Obviously the distance is already very close, but under this person’s little pressure, Mu Lan’s eyelash blinked, the long eyelash already brushed this person’s cheek.
It happened that the man did not move.
Almost a subconscious reaction, Mulan closed his eyes, not knowing whether he was avoiding the man’s burning sight or something else.
But Mu Lan’s heart beat faster and faster.
Another idle hand, was tightly clenched into a fist, holding his own clothes, but found that this dress is also Li Shiyu.
But under the outer clothes, it is empty. An indescribable
feeling.
And in front of Li Shiyu is getting closer and closer, even this person’s nose bridge has been against the tip of Mu Lan’s nose, two people’s breath is clearly visible.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Thin lips pass over their own lips, with a trace of warmth, less of the initial cold. The hot temperature of the
palm is also getting higher and higher, sweating.
Mu Lan closed his eyes subconsciously.
She thought Li Shiyu was going to kiss herself.
As a result, Mu Lan stunned, after a moment of waiting, Li Shiyu suddenly pulled away, slightly cool breath blow on the face, less than previous time when this person approached the heat.
A little bit to let the temperature down.
On the contrary, Mu Lan in such a cramped, become more and more not calm, it is a feeling of anger, always feel that he was Li Shiyu play in the palm of his hand. She opened her eyes
suddenly. But what
fell into his eyes was a playful smile in Li Shiyu’s eyes. The hand holding Mu Lan’s chin still did not let go. After gently rubbing it for a few minutes, he said with a half-smile: “Mu Lan, under such circumstances, do you still have such leisure?”
Mu Lan: “… …” It’s
more than just anger.
“The taste is really strong.” Li Shiyu loosened Mu Lan and made the final decision.
“Li Shiyu!” Mu Lan couldn’t help shouting at the person in front of him with his name.
Li Shiyu did not seem to be angry, but smiled lightly, suddenly stood up, Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu’s movements, but some unknown, slightly squinted, as if to see through the idea of this person.
As a result, the man went back to the campfire and half squatted down.
With his back to Mulan, Mulan couldn’t see anything.
But Mu Lan did not stand up.
Until Li Shiyu turned around, Mu Lan’s face had recovered as usual, but Li Shiyu did not continue to talk about the topic before, but suddenly there was something more in his hand. It’s
dark, but you can’t tell what it is on the surface.
“Here you are.” Li Shiyu sat down again.
“What is this?” Mu Lan didn’t answer.
Mu Lan’s mind is not here, but in Li Shiyu’s lip color, his lip color looks good and bad, and now compared with before, it seems not so obvious.
Li Shiyu also noticed it and sighed silently, “Ben Wang is very good.”. When I disinfected you, I was very careful, but even if I was more careful, I would get a little bit of it, which is why it would cause abnormal lip color, and other places are not a big problem.
Li Shiyu explained quietly.
Mu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, but soon she twisted her eyebrows and looked at Li Shiyu without speaking.
Li Shiyu shook his head, his face was as calm as ever, and even his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat indifferent. When those soul-stirring pictures were spoken by Li Shiyu, they seemed light.
“On the way down to look for you, I met the prince’s men, so I attacked them. In addition, the terrain was steep, and the number of the prince’s men was large, so it was inevitable that they would be plotted against. But it didn’t matter. It was only a few flesh wounds.” Li Shiyu continued.
His voice just fell, Mu Lan immediately put his hand to Li Shiyu’s lapel.
Li Shiyu twisted his eyebrows and said, “What are you doing?”
Mulan put it succinctly: “Look at your wounds.”
She beware of the poison on those swords, Li Shiyuan tried his best to find himself, live to see people, die to see corpses, then every step will be careful, these swords naturally will not be clean.
As a result, Mu Lan had not had time to open Li Shiyu’s wound.
The man grabbed Mulan’s hand coldly and said in a steady voice, “Mulan, no matter how dishonest you are, the king doesn’t mind accompanying you.” The
low voice echoed slightly in the quiet cave, but with a hint of warning.
But Li Shiyu is more clear, his back and waist wounds, through the clothes can not see anything, take off clothes, full of scars.
He inexplicably did not want to frighten Mulan.
Therefore, Li Shiyu refused to let Mu Lan examine his wound. The poison on the
sword, when dealing with Mu Lan’s wound, Li Shiyu had already dealt with it, and now it’s really a skin injury, it’s just a matter of time.
But Mu Lan listens to Li Shiyu’s words, the hand suddenly withdrew.
But some unwilling, want to take another look, but suddenly was Li Shiyu handed over things to be stunned, before the black things, was broken open layer by layer, inside is golden, with the aroma of baked sweet potatoes.
Obviously ate the barbecue, but still a moment to hook up people’s greedy insects.
This is Mulan’s favorite thing.
In Gu Fu, Mu Lan pestered Gu yuanzhi to do it for herself, Gu yuanzhi shook his head helplessly every time, Mu Lan grabbed the sweet potatoes that had passed the exam, black, even if dirty hands, and then touched the white little face black, she still ate a sweet face.
And after the rebirth, it seems that he has never eaten again.
Mu Lan’s eyes were suddenly sore and swollen. The man in
front of her even peeled the sweet potatoes, inserted them with a clean stick, and handed them to her without any further trouble.
“You..” Mu Lan did not know how to open his mouth.
“Don’t like?” Li Shiyu asked casually, “Now is the season for sweet potatoes. They are very fresh and sweet, and they taste even better after roasting. When Ben Wang went out, he happened to see them, so he brought some back by the way.”
This is Li Shiyu’s explanation.
But Li Shiyu did not say, Mu Lan is a person wrapped in layers of fog, but in Gu Fu life, clues can still be seen.
In that time to send Ji Niang to leave, Rong Jiu came back carefully and Li Shiyu said everything in Gu Fu.
The grill, as well as the sweet potatoes scattered in the corner, had sprouted, but no one had taken care of them.
Li Shiyu is just guessing.
This just saw on the road, brought back to Mu Lan, put on the grill silently, along with the barbecue time, handled together.
“No.” Mu Lan’s voice is a little depressed.
Li Shi-yu murmured, but said nothing more. He took clean water from one side and handed it to Mu Lan. “Drink some water so you don’t choke.”
Voice just fell, Mu Lan really choked, Li Shiyu can not help but look at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan felt that this man was really a crow’s mouth.
She gave a heavy cold hum, but Li Shiyu did not mind, quietly accompanied Mu Lan, eating baked sweet potatoes, but most of the time, Li Shiyu served Mu Lan, sweet potatoes are mostly into Mu Lan’s mouth.
It was not until Mu Lan could no longer eat that Li Shiyu stopped feeding and naturally disposed of the rest of Mu Lan. It’s too intimate for
two people to eat together.
Intimate so that Mu Lan some at a loss. Li Shiyu,
on the other hand, is just like anyone who has nothing to do. After drinking his last mouthful of water, he suddenly says, “It’s all right anyway. It’s not safe to go out. There are often poisonous snakes and beasts around here. Now the prince’s people are searching around here on a large scale. There’s nothing they can do. They can only wait for a few days.”
Apart from Mu Lan’s injury, there are more crises of talent everywhere outside.
This is also the reason why Li Shiyu left without Mu Lan.
With the understanding of Li Shiyuan, the large-scale search will gradually weaken after at least three days. At that time, it is a good time to go out. Trying to
save Mulan does not mean pushing Mulan out to die and implicating himself.
“In a few days, the weather in Kyoto will change.” Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and said directly.
Li Shiyu, however, did not follow Mu Lan’s topic, but asked casually, “Tell Ben Wang how you have lived in the Ku Mansion for more than ten years.”
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu unknowingly.
Li Shiyu made it clear that he didn’t want to talk about what happened before.
Mu Lan was quiet for a moment, but his eyes did not move away from Li Shiyu’s body. For such a long time, it seemed that when he met Li Shiyu, Mu Lan could always settle down. No matter what the risk was, as long as Li Shiyu was there, he could easily save the day.
So this person is now determined to appear in front of himself, and say these words to himself, does it mean that such a situation, also within the judgment of Li Shiyu, is confident?
Her worry is unnecessary? What
Mu Lan knows more clearly is that what Li Shiyu doesn’t want to say to you, you can’t get out of Li Shiyu’s mouth even if you try your best. That’s what happened in
my last life. Even if
Li Shiyu was defeated, he was injured by his own powers.
Although fatal, but not the first time to die, Li Shiyuan used a very sinister punishment to force Li Shiyu to open his mouth, but Li Shiyu did not say a word until he died. Not to mention the
current situation.
Think of this, Mu Lan also no longer ask.
Mu Lan went on to follow Li Shiyu’s words: “We live like ordinary people. The Ku family is not a big family. Although there are slaves in the family, we still have to do a lot of things ourselves.”
“Like what?”
“I learned embroidery from my mother, medicine from my father, and martial arts from my master. My father even found a master to teach me to read and write.”
Mu Lan is recalling everything about Gu Fu.
Calm and peaceful.
In Gu Fu’s sixteen years, Mu Lan felt that he was the happiest time, carefree, smiling every day.
Although Gu yuanzhi and Li Ruolan are strict with Mu Lan, they are also strict with learning, but they still protect Mu Lan very well, innocent and romantic.
So the last life of Mu Lan, will step by step fall into the trap, there is no ability to resist.
But even so, recalling these days, the smile in Mu Lan’s eyes is sincere.
“Do you like your adoptive parents?” Li Shiyu listened quietly.
“Mmm.” Mu Lan answered.
Li Shiyu asked again, “At what age did you begin to have memories of Gu Fu?”? I see you’ve said a lot of things about childhood. By rights, people’s memories are very clear after the age of three, but here you are already after the age of five or six. What did you do during this period?
“Do what?” Mu Lan hesitated, but thought to himself.
It seems that Li Shiyu really said so.
It seems that she really did not have the memory before she was six years old. Gu yuanzhi said that it was a serious illness. When she woke up, she forgot everything that had happened before. The whole person was the same as before. She seemed to be interested in things that she was not interested in.
But ask again, also can not ask why, after all, a six-year-old child, do not know anything. Naturally,
the matter was not settled.
At that time, Mu Lan did not feel anything wrong.
But now suddenly mentioned, Mu Lan’s mind flashed before the nightmare appeared in the woman called Xu Zhen. I can’t
say why, but I always feel that they are inextricably linked.
“Hmm?” Li Shiyu saw that Mu Lan did not speak, and quietly asked again. When
Mu Lan came to his senses, he said quickly, When I was six years old, I had a serious illness and a high fever. My father said I almost died. I was in a daze every day, and when I got better, I couldn’t remember what had happened before. What’s more, a six-year-old child can remember something, so he thinks a lot.
She explained it seriously.
Li Shiyu hum, but also did not think much, nodded.
Still want to ask what, Mu Lan suddenly looked over: “Four your Highness, you have been asking me things, do not say their own things, this will not be too unfair?”? Shouldn’t the question be, one for each person? As
he spoke, Mulan actually counted them: “If I hadn’t made a mistake, your Highness would have asked me no fewer than ten questions. Could I have asked the same number?”
This made Li Shiyu laugh out loud: “Mu Lan, how hard is it to take advantage of you?”
“Haven’t the four lords taken advantage of enough?” Mu Lan asked in reply without changing his face.
Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows.
Mu Lan didn’t mean to dodge.
Then Li Shiyu stretched out his hand and motioned to Mu Lan: “What do you want to ask? Ask.”
“Did your Highness grow up with the empress?” Mu Lan was quiet before he opened his mouth lightly and went straight to the subject.
“Yes.” Li Shiyu did not deny it.
“The empress is a smooth person. Even if your Highness is the son of Concubine Rong, she has no blood relationship with the empress, but because of the emperor’s face and her own identity, the empress should at least be good to the four empresses on the surface.”
Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly.
This is also true.
In the previous life, before Li Shiyu had not rebelled, Qu Huachang was indifferent to Li Shiyu, and it was impossible for him to devote himself to his throne like Li Shiyuan, but he was a conscientious adoptive mother to Li Shiyu as a whole, at least he had not treated Li Shiyu badly.
At the time of Li Shiyu’s rebellion, Qu Huachang was shocked.
At that time, Qu Huachang kept shouting that he had raised a white-eyed wolf.
But Mu Lan is more clear, such kindness, because Li Shiyu to Qu Huachang’s obedience, more because of their own ambitions are hidden without any clues.
Li Shiyu listened to Mu Lan’s words, smiled softly, and then hum.
It’s just a light laugh with a hint of sarcasm.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu quietly, but Li Shiyu opened his mouth coldly: “Because the king asked you about Gu Fu, so you want to ask the king about the queen’s side?”
“Reciprocity calls for reciprocity.” Mu Lan nodded.
Apart from having no worries about food and clothing on weekdays, the empress has never treated the king badly. But anywhere that could endanger the prince, the queen would never give in. If you want to be safe and sound, you must learn to endure and avoid. What
Li Shiyu said is very plain.
It seems that what he said is not his own business.
Mu Lan slightly twisted eyebrows, in such words, but can hear this person’s depression, but Li Shiyu’s identity and emotional control, so that Mu Lan completely unable to guess Li Shiyu’s ideas.
Quiet, Mu Lan considered for a moment, suddenly looked at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu’s eyes sank, as if waiting patiently for Mu Lan to open his mouth.
“Your Highness, will you give up the throne one day?” For a long time, Mu Lan’s words broke the silence. As the
voice fell, Mulan knew that the question he asked was disrespectful.
She went beyond her identity and asked Li Shiyu the most taboo question. Even in the process of questioning, Mulan could feel the man’s muscles tense.
The big palm has gathered strength.
Mu Lan has no doubt that the next moment, the sharp palm wind will follow their own. How can Li Shiyu answer
this question?
No matter what the answer is, it is against the heart, as long as there is a heart, that is the evidence, not to mention Li Shiyu such a cautious person, not to mention, she and Li Shiyu in the near future, at least on the surface, or the opposite identity.
As a result, Li Shiyu’s attitude surprised Mu Lan.
He made his thoughts clear word for word: “I will never give up what I want.”
Even Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan’s eyes for a moment.
Mu Lan was quiet and did not speak. The atmosphere in the
air has a trace of condensation.
Suddenly, Mu Lan began to regret why he brought this topic here, as if such a heavy topic, even the previous atmosphere can not be maintained. He became
more and more restless.
“I want to go out for a walk.” Finally, Mu Lan could not stand such an almost suffocating atmosphere and quickly changed the topic.
Then, Mu Lan stood up.
Even though his calf was still in pain, he had to walk towards the outermost part of the cave.
Li Shiyu didn’t stop him.
He just quietly watched Mu Lan leave the figure, until Mu Lan walked to the mouth of the cave, the two opened a long distance. The
wind at the entrance of the cave was very cool and strong, and the whistling wind came into Mu Lan’s ears. She lowered her eyebrows and looked at the bottomless abyss at her feet. As long as she took one more step, she could really disappear here completely.
But Mulan didn’t move.
And behind him came Li Shiyu’s reserved and alienated voice: “Mu Lan, this king’s answer has not changed. If your answer has not changed either, then one day, you and I will be on opposite sides.”. The king will show no mercy.
For a long time, Mu Lan’s clear voice came: “Mu Lan knows.”
Li Shiyu did not speak again.
His patience and good temper in this life have all been given to Mulan, but Mulan’s choice has never changed. With the overall situation ahead, Li Shiyu knows better than anyone how to choose. Although
he had nothing to worry about, Li Shiyu could not ignore those subordinates who followed him in life and death. After
more than ten years of hard work, it is impossible to fall short of success.
Also, that blood feud, it is impossible not to report.
Each of them stood in a position, neither of them said a word to the other, and Mulan leaned against the stone wall to avoid putting all the gravity on his legs.
And Li Shiyu did not mean to come forward. After
a long time
, about an hour later, Mu Lan was really unable to stand. The pain in
his calf numbed Mu Lan a little, but he couldn’t stand it physically.
Mu Lan did not want to embarrass himself, and when he was about to walk toward the stone bed, he saw the man who had not spoken to him for an hour suddenly stand up and walk in his own direction.
Mu Lan was stunned.
Li Shiyu had already picked up Mu Lan at the waist, and Mu Lan was stunned and could not react for a moment.
She thought the man would never come near her again.
And now
Mulan, you really don’t want your legs, do you? If you don’t want it, I’ll just scrap it, so I won’t have to worry about it. Li Shiyu’s attitude is not bad, but it is definitely not good.
This time, Mu Lan was very conscious to shut up.
When Li Shiyu saw that Mu Lan did not open his mouth, his eyebrows were twisted, and he quickly walked toward the stone bed and put Mu Lan on the bed.
He lifted Mu Lan’s coat and exposed his calf.
White skin, a shocking dark red, although I know Li Shiyu has been dealt with, but see such a picture, Mu Lan’s eyebrows slightly twisted.
Act quietly.
At least in front of Li Shiyu, Mu Lan will not show any fragile appearance.
Stand quietly.
But Li Shiyu’s eyelid did not prick, earnestly looked at Mu Lan’s wound, very quickly took the newly changed herbal medicine from the stone table, carefully gave Mu Lan medicine.
That kind of cold to the bone feeling came, pressed down before the hot and dry pain, that kind of uncomfortable feeling has been greatly relieved.
Mu Lan could not help exhaling.
But such a small action, Li Shiyu also just slightly lifted his eyelids to take a look, and did not say anything, continue to seriously complete the action of the medicine in his hands. Only then did
Mu Lan look at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu’s skillful movements are by no means as simple as giving medicine to people for the first time.
And judging from her experience, in such a place, it is absolutely impossible to have a ready-made ointment, even if Li Shiyu has the foresight to bring part of it, but the poison on his feet must be judged by seeing a real person.
So now the medicine on the wound is all made by Li Shiyu on the spot. What
does it mean?
Li Shiyu knows medical science.
Such an idea, let Mu Lan stunned, but such a shock soon became insipid, just look at Li Shiyu’s eyes, more than a touch of deep.
She was hiding something.
But Li Shiyu did not hide the secret.
At least for such a long time, she never understood Li Shiyu.
“If you still want your legs, be honest with Ben Wang.” Li Shiyu re-bandaged the wound and warned in a low voice.
Also do not know this person is intentional or other, that wound is bandaged by Li Shiyu particularly thick, Mu Lan wants to walk is not so easy thing, let alone run.
Li Shiyu made it clear that he did it on purpose.
Mu Lan looked at the wound and laughed angrily.
But Li Shiyu already stood up, before the filth processing clean, the entire journey did not pay attention to Mu Lan again, even also did not have the distraction to look at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan sat on the stone bed, his eyes turning with Li Shiyu’s figure.
Li Shiyu didn’t even look back. “What do you keep staring at Ben Wang for?”
This, accompanied by the sound of running water, Mu Lan found that there was a small mouth in the cave, and the ticking sound heard on weekdays was the mountain spring water flowing from this small mouth.
Clear to the bottom.
And Li Shiyu handled everything, then turned around, suddenly stood up, tall figure instantly occupied half of the space, as if the whole environment has become depressed up.
But Mu Lan did not shy away from Li Shiyu’s eyes and asked directly, “Your Highness is also very familiar with medical science.”
Mu Lan has been studying medicine since childhood, and it is not surprising that he can accurately judge what poison he is in at the moment of poisoning.
But now Li Shiyu is the same, which proves that this person’s understanding of medicine is absolutely no less than his own.
But before that, Mu Lan had no doubt at all.
Before many pictures flashed, suddenly Mu Lan understood, because it was his own intervention, so Li Shiyu chose to hide.
And Mu Lan never asked, Li Shiyu naturally will not take the initiative to be honest.
Besides, this man doesn’t know what honesty is.
Than hide deep, the whole week, if Li Shiyu dare to say that he is the second, absolutely no one dares to call the first.
Mu Lan sneered.
I don’t know how many times I have criticized Li Shiyu.
“When your Highness was a child, he lived in the palace for a long time. Could it be that he worked with the imperial physicians in the palace?” Mu Lan sees Li Shiyu does not answer, guess at will.
Now, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan. With a deep look
in his eyes, after a while, Li Shiyu laughed out loud, and with a sneer in his laughter, he returned Mu Lan’s cynicism intact.
They knew very well to each other that it was absolutely impossible for Li Shiyu to learn medicine from the imperial physician.
Not to mention, or under the eyelids of Qu Huachang, this just means that he has the ambition of a wolf, Qu Huachang put Li Shiyu in the side to raise, nothing more than to give Li Shiyuan a smooth clearance of an obstacle to seize the position. What
she wants is a law-abiding Li Shiyu.
As if now revealed in front of everyone, idle, sentimentally attached to women’s fatuous Yu Wang Ye.
But Mu Lan was Li Shiyu so a look, very innocent shrug, also did not dodge the meaning.
When Mu Lan thought that Li Shiyu would not answer this question, Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth lightly: “When the emperor’s uncle was still alive, the emperor’s uncle was always good to the king. The emperor’s uncle was very proficient in medicine, and he taught the king some.”
Mu Lan listened to Li Shiyu’s words and frowned.
Her brain was spinning fast, and before she could react, Li Shiyu’s faint voice came again: “The situation of the emperor’s uncle is just like that of the present king and crown prince.”
A word, instantly let Mu Lan suddenly understand. The emperor’s uncle in
Li Shiyu’s mouth is Li Changyi.
When Li Changtian was still the crown prince, the two were harmonious on the surface, but they were also unscrupulous for the throne of the emperor. In the end, Li Changtian ascended the throne, and Li Changyi was defeated.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. After
Li Changyi failed to seize the throne, he was confined in the palace for a long time. For three years, he did not see the light of day.
Not to mention the big week, even the people in the palace subconsciously think that Li Changyi was Li Changtian inhuman torture, in order to punish Li Changyi should not have moved the mind. Everyone
thought that Li Changyi would be tortured to death in the palace. It is more painful for
people to live under such circumstances than to die. Unexpectedly
, however, after Li Changyi was imprisoned for three years, a fire burned the palace beyond recognition, and Li Changyi completely disappeared from the public.
At that time, Li Shiyu was just a teenager.
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and could not help thinking of all this together.
Subconsciously feel that a fire and Li Changyi’s disappearance, is Li Shiyu, but this words, finally Mu Lan did not say. Looking at the person close at hand
again, a handsome face appears to be calm again. Curiosity can kill a cat
, Mulan. Knowing the curiosity in Mu Lan’s heart, Li Shiyu warned, “The emperor’s uncle has always been a taboo in the palace.”. Not to mention discussing the matter of the emperor’s uncle, as long as someone recites the name of the emperor’s uncle, that is a capital offense. At
this point, Li Shiyu did not go on.
Mu Lan is a wise man, the meaning of this, Mu Lan can not be unaware of.
Li Shiyu knew that Mu Lan was going to enter the palace, but the purpose of Mu Lan entering the palace, Li Shiyu could not guess all, but looking at Mu Lan’s eyes, Li Shiyu could more or less guess that Li Changyi, who was inadvertently mentioned by himself, was very likely to become a breakthrough point for Mu Lan.
It’s an instinctive intuition.
Intuitively, what Mulan wants to do is not as simple as the surface.
I’m afraid Mu Lan to investigate the matter, can implicate a lot of big week secret history, once known, Mu Lan is facing the death penalty of implicating nine clans.
Therefore, Li Shiyu put the warning first.
But looking at Mu Lan’s eyes, Li Shiyu is always a moment, no more serious. For a long time,
Mu Lan lowered his head and chuckled, but when he looked up again, he said without changing his face: “If your Highness doesn’t want to follow in the footsteps of Lord Yi, then there are too many people in the palace to be taboo. Around your Highness, there are many people who can’t be trusted.”
These were planted by Li Shiyuan.
Mu Lan believes that Li Shiyu knows a lot, but it is impossible to know everything.
Otherwise, then Li Shiyu will not be so tragic defeat, otherwise, now Li Shiyu does not need to try to find the list of these people.
Just like what happened at Wangxianglou.
Their purpose, in fact, is just for the list.
Not necessarily is the side confidant, also possibly is the side a boy, possibly lets the human be fatal at the critical time.
This, let Li Shiyu slightly squint at Mu Lan, eyes more and more gloomy, and then, this tall figure toward the front of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan is not afraid.
Red lips move slightly, word by word read are different names and official positions, and even said these words, Mu Lan completely without thinking, as if memorized in general.
It was not until Li Shiyu stood in front of Mu Lan that Mu Lan’s voice gradually stopped: “Your Highness, this is all I have to say. With Your Highness’s intelligence, it is absolutely impossible for you not to understand the meaning of my words.”
“Mulan!” Li Shiyu lowered his voice and called Mu Lan’s name, but every word seemed to come from the depths of his throat.
Looking at Mu Lan’s eyes also followed a lot of heavy.
Mu Lan did not evade, but also did not continue to look at Li Shiyu, slowly closed his eyes, a faint tone came, as if to become hoarse again, more particularly tired.
“Your Highness, I’m sleepy and I want to sleep.” Mu Lan said, lying directly on the stone bed.
Also seems to be in a moment, Mu Lan fell asleep. Quiet, completely do not care because of their own words, the surge of uproar, nor because of the hardness of the stone bed, and appear unacceptable.
She just turned a God, eyebrows twisted, forehead began to ooze fine beads of sweat, do not know is into a nightmare, or because of physical discomfort in the performance of discomfort.
Li Shiyu just wanted to reprimand a few words, and intuitively thought that Mu Lan was pretending to sleep.
But when Li Shiyu’s hand touched Mu Lan’s skin, his face changed, the feeling of hot palms came, and even the previously white skin gradually changed color because of the hot temperature.
Mu Lan’s high fever appeared again. It doesn’t have much to do
with the wound.
It’s not from the wound. Why
on earth is that?
Why the constant high fever, as if the physical strength of the complete overdraft, can no longer support, fell down, need to sleep a long sleep, can ease over.
Li Shiyu knows very well that Mulan knows his physical condition, but he has never explained it. He knows better that Mulan is like another stubborn self. If she is unwilling to open her mouth, no one can ask a useful message from Mulan’s mouth.
Sink, Li Shiyu no sleepiness, just in the stone bed again and again to change the handkerchief for Mu Lan.
But this time fell into the sleep of Mu Lan is particularly quiet, less before the nightmare and restlessness, if not familiar with breathing is still, Li Shiyu will think that Mu Lan is a lifeless human skin doll.
But the wind outside the cave was still blowing, accompanied by rain that did not fall at any time, and even if a bonfire was lit, it was not enough to dispel the cold.
For a long
time, the sky outside darkened and darkened, and the sound of wolves howling and all kinds of birds and animals flapping their wings came from my ears.
Li Shiyu then stood up and took a look at the sky, Mu Lan this sleep, has slept to the third watch but still did not wake up the meaning.
The only good thing is that her high fever has gradually subsided and the temperature has gradually become normal.
Three days later
, during this period of time, Mu Lan fell asleep in a trance, occasionally woke up, but only drank a few mouthfuls of water, did not enter the drop of rice, and soon fell asleep again.
Until now, Mu Lan sat up and looked at everything around her, and she was in a trance for a while before she really woke up. Li Shiyu was still standing beside the
stone bed.
Three days did not clean up well, Li Shiyu’s beard residue grew a lot, and usually gentle and gentle appearance is not quite the same, appears to be more rough and overbearing.
Mu Lan blinked. “Is Your Highness Four still here?”? How long did I sleep?
This made Li Shiyu twist his brows and turn to Mu Lan. His bony fingers pinched Mu Lan’s chin. “Mu Lan, do you mean that you know you will sleep for many days?”
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and did not answer Li Shiyu’s question.
“What’s wrong with your body?” Li Shiyu spoke sullenly.
These three days, Mu Lan in addition to the occasional sober, but such a situation also appears to be very trance, most of the time, Mu Lan is lethargic, lethargic so that Li Shiyu frightened, from time to time to touch Mu Lan’s breath, for fear that Mu Lan had an accident.
From memory to now, Li Shiyu has never missed a person so much.
That kind of worry and fear, almost in an instant can devour all the thoughts of Li Shiyu.
But in front of the woman who is worried about herself, when she opens her eyes again, what she says is light words, as if everything doesn’t matter.
It’s like being fed a dog with good intentions and raising a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it.
Angry, but there is no way to take Mu Lan.
“As I said, when you are tired, you naturally need to rest. When you have a good rest, you will naturally be fine.” Mu Lan had already sat up, and his tone was still gentle.
She was not nervous because of Li Shiyu’s irascibility.
But such irascible Li Shiyu is Mu Lan has not seen, her eyebrows and eyes can not help but be infected with a smile, very light, fleeting, but it is the rebirth of Mu Lan, can release the greatest goodwill. The moment
her foot landed, Mulan knew very well that her wound had healed, and that her weakness was only the result of lying down for a few days, and that as long as she adapted quietly for a while, there would be no more problems.
But here, the person who takes care of himself without sleep is Li Shiyu, who is also the closest enemy and friend in front of him.
She lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and after her calves adapted to such strength, she slowly stood up and looked up at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu remained motionless.
“Your Highness, how many days have you and I been in this cave?” Mu Lan asked lightly.
“45 days.” Li Shiyu gave the answer with an expressionless face.
Mu Lan nodded. “Didn’t the weather change in Kyoto in those four or five days?”
Li Shi-yu sneers: “What do you think?”
“Now that your Highness is safe and sound here, I think Kyoto should be calm.” “So, your Highness, can you tell me what’s going on in the Mu Mansion?” As
he spoke, Mulan paused: “Also, how is the situation at the hospital?”
Need not ask Li Shiyu is how to know these, this person can do things, far beyond the idea of Mu Lan, I am afraid Mu Lan also underestimated the people around Li Shiyu.
She was preconceived, because Li Shiyu was defeated in the last life, so she ignored how unfathomable Li Shiyu would be if he was not so unexpected.
Listening to Mu Lan’s words, Li Shiyu really sneered, not knowing whether he was angry with Mu Lan or because of his almost undisciplined attitude.
“Mu Lan, you’re not omnipotent. Do you still need to ask Ben Wang about this?” Li Shiyu asked Mu Lan sarcastically.
Mulan quieted down and laughed in a low voice: “If your Highness tells me the situation, I will not get the news in vain. I think your Highness will like what I give your Highness.”
She quietly threw out the bait.
This kind of Mu Lan, long ago did not have some weak appearance before, returned to the time in Kyoto, that lukewarm face, obviously smiling at you, but also opened a long distance between each other.
This feeling, let Li Shiyu disgust to the extreme.
He also clearly can be the first time to end the life of Mu Lan, so as not to be in trouble in the future, but looking at this face, Li Shiyu unexpectedly how can not start.
And Li Shiyu can not deny that when Mu Lan really wants to negotiate with you, what he takes out really makes you speechless.
Even if Li Shiyu does not say now, Mu Lan also has a way to know, just take some trouble. Under
such circumstances, it takes a lot of trouble and the risk is too great.
In the end, I couldn’t bear to part with it.
Li Shi-yu’s face darkened a little, but he spoke very quickly: “In the Mu Mansion, the Lotus Fragrance is replacing you in the Snow Tower. The Concubine has passed away, and you are almost in charge of the Mu Mansion. In addition, you said you were ill, so no one came to disturb you.”
“Didn’t the old lady call the royal doctor?” Mulan quieted down. “Didn’t Dad ever suspect?”
Now the emperor is not in good health, and the imperial doctors in the palace are so busy that they dare not call the imperial doctors now even if they have given ten courage to the people of Prince Mu’s palace. At most, you can only find a doctor from outside. What’s more, the Chen butlers in the Mu Mansion are all your people, and the people you’re looking for will naturally be able to deceive the world.
Li Shi-yu put it directly: As for Lord Mu, the affairs of the palace have long left him with no means to divide himself. How can he have time to take care of the affairs of the palace. Because of this, no one knows that you are not in the palace at all.
Li Shiyu explained it clearly.
“Did Your Highness arrange all this?” When Mulan opened his mouth, he felt that he had asked a stupid question.
Sure enough, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan’s eyes more cold, sneer, that expression let Mu Lan feel, may be in the next moment he will be Li Shiyu pinched neck, severely strangled.
She gave a hypocritical smile, and did not see any apology, but continued to ask brazenly: “Where is Uncle Feng?” The play played by
Feng Qingkuang, the unidentified corpse, and your escape have brought this matter to the past. Feng Chang-yang has already entered the palace with Ho Yu-yi. Li Shiyu continued.
Mu Lan said, “What about the frivolous brother?”
This made Li Shiyu narrow his eyes slightly, and the smile in his eyes grew colder and colder: “Mu Lan, do you still expect Ben Wang to tell you about other men?”
Mu Lan, however, was not angry. He nodded, “I think the frivolous elder brother’s cleverness and agility should be safe and sound now.”
Li Shiyu: “… …”
Mu Lan really knows how to annoy people.
So sober Mu Lan and before the unconscious Mu Lan compared, suddenly Li Shiyu felt that the latter Mu Lan was more lovely.
But Mu Lan did not speak.
She has to get out of here as soon as possible.
Feng Changyang a person in the palace can not support too long, Li Changtian’s situation, although Mu Lan knows, but a lot of things still need to be prescribed with the change of illness.
Li Changtian has been terminally ill, even if the ghost hand master, it is impossible to get Li Changtian’s life back from the hands of the keeper, can only do is to renew his life.
Feng Changyang is not exposed in the palace, which is half a month at most.
And the draft is only half a month later, if she can’t go back and still be here, then she really can’t hide anything.
Thinking of this, Mu Lan did not have the mind to talk. When she looked at Li Shiyu
again, she said calmly, “Today, I must go back to Prince Mu’s mansion.”
Li Shiyu did not speak.
Mulan smiled and said lightly, “When I get the news from Your Highness, I will naturally give you what Your Highness likes. When I get to Mu Wang Fu safely, I will naturally give it to Your Highness.”
“Mu Lan.” Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Mu Lan coldly and indifferently. When the
voice fell, Li Shiyu had come towards Mu Lan, who stood quietly and looked at the people in front of him. The
two men were so close that they could clearly smell each other’s breath.
“Your ability to cross the river and tear down the bridge really makes the king sit up and take notice.” Li Shiyu’s words, can not say sarcasm or other emotions.
Mu Lan was not in a hurry either. He smiled and asked, “Can Your Highness continue to be here?”? If your Highness can, I don’t mind cooperating. I’m going to be exposed, and I’m afraid your Highness is going to be exposed. The most I can do is to lose the status of a crown princess, and the four royal Highnesses will lose the land of this great week.
This, thoroughly let Li Shiyu laugh out loud.
But Mu Lan did not pay more attention to Li Shiyu’s meaning.
She had no time to mess around with Li Shiyu here. She secretly calculated the time in her heart. It would take at least half a day to leave here. Now, in the dead of night, she could go back to Mu Wang Fu.
If you don’t go back, no matter what way Li Shiyu uses, let Mu Hongyuan never come back now, never ask, but for a long time, Mu Hongyuan can’t be indifferent.
After all, now in Mu Hongyuan’s view, Mu Lan is the chess piece that can be used in his hands, and it is absolutely impossible for any accident to occur.
Not to mention, or a long illness in the palace.
So, Mulan is leaving anyway. There
can be no complications.
Mu Lan is this reason, Li Shiyu is also this reason, so Mu Lan does not need to argue with Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu is bound to follow up.
And Mu Lan’s wound has already begun to scar, but there is still some itching, does not affect walking, and before the mess compared to, now much better, plus the heavy sleep for three days, because of the power and the impact of the spirit has been restored.
Naturally, the speed is much faster.
But Mu Lan did not turn around to check Li Shiyu’s situation, because she knew very well that Li Shiyu was following behind.
The two kept a wide distance, but Mu Lan knew very well that if he had something to do, Li Shiyu would be the first to make a move. I can’t
say why I’m so sure, but that’s what she thinks.
It’s a feeling of peace of mind.
Even though there are thorns all around, even though there are crises everywhere, Mu Lan is not afraid at all.
And everything in front of us is not much different from what Mu Lan saw in the last life. The dribs and drabs on the road are very clear to Mu Lan.
She could easily avoid all the roadblocks and dangers, and she didn’t know how much better she was than groping by herself in her last life. In her last
life, she was lucky enough to meet a kind person here, but when she left the valley, the other party only said the approximate location, and wanted to go out on her own.
So, even if he escaped safely, he almost lost his life.
Now, Mu Lan will not let this happen again.
Her eyes alert, with a sharp light, in the narrow and empty mountain path, she suddenly stopped, neatly lifted the branches scattered on the ground, and quickly flew in the direction of the front.
A scream. The man
in the dense forest fell into the cliff, and there was no sound.
Li Shiyu followed all the way and looked at Mu Lan heavily.
The man who fell off the cliff was Li Shiyuan’s bodyguard who went down the mountain to search. Compared with the first three days, a large number of people have been withdrawn to the East Palace, but it does not mean that there are no people at all. No man
in life, no body in death. How could
Li Shiyuan be reconciled.
Even though everyone knows that falling off this cliff is like falling to pieces.
But this is not Li Shiyu’s concern, he is concerned about why Mu Lan can accurately find the way out.
Even when he came here, it was a lot of trouble, this place, Li Shiyu is not completely unfamiliar, can not do like Mu Lan so freely.
It was as if she had been here before, even groped carefully here.
But Mu Lan’s concentration is on the person who falls on the cliff.
Because of the fall of the bodyguard, the people on his side were frightened, plus dodge the hidden weapon flying from Mu Lan, even people did not have time to see, has completely fallen down.
Without a sound.
The surroundings became quiet. Only then did
Mu Lan continue to walk forward, quietly.
“Are you familiar with this place?” Li Shiyu’s voice suddenly came and asked directly.
Mu Lan’s footsteps were stunned, but he quickly walked smoothly again. Without looking back, he said lightly, “I’m not familiar with it.” She denied it quickly and gave a reasonable reason. “But I believe Your Highness must be very familiar with it. Since Your Highness didn’t point out where I went wrong, it proves that I was right. So why should I slow down?”
Li Shiyu was really blocked by Mu Lan and could not say a word.
But Mu Lan didn’t give Li Shiyu a chance to speak. “On the contrary, His Royal Highness is very familiar with this place. People who don’t know about it think that His Royal Highness has been here.”
Do the thief shout to catch the thief, turn the mouth to bite a person, probably is Mu Lan such.
Li Shi-yu laughed angrily and said, “He is eloquent.”
Mu Lan, however, said, “Your Highness, I’m flattered.”
Then, Mu Lan did not stop and continued to walk forward.
Li Shiyu followed quietly. It’s like nothing happened
before.
But again familiar with the terrain here, can really want to go out, or spent a lot of time, after all, the memory of previous lives here again deep, now the time of falling into the cliff and previous lives are still several years apart, here is also different.
Fortunately, all the way out, there was no bad accident in the end. When the
two men came up from the edge of the cliff, it was already night in Kyoto.
Mu Lan walked sweaty, slender hands wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and then looked down at her clothes, although she had changed back to the previous clothes, but the clothes on the broken and discomfiture is still obvious. I’m afraid it’s not right to go back to Mu Wang Fu
like this.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and thought about how to deal with it.
Not to mention back to Mu Wang Fu, in such a time when the grass and trees are all soldiers, she appeared in front of everyone like this, is bound to cause trouble.
Besides, Li Shiyuan is still staring at it at any time and anywhere.
While Mu Lan was meditating, suddenly, the sound of a horse’s hoof came from not far away, which made Mu Lan alert in an instant, and the stones reserved in his hands had been transported.
Only this time, Li Shiyu was even faster: “Rong Jiu.”
Mu Lan Leng, the wrist came strong strength, such strength layer by layer of pressure down, so that Mu Lan also followed gradually relaxed down.
It was not the carriage of Yu Wang Fu, nor was it familiar to Mu Lan.
It’s just an ordinary carriage of a rich family.
And the man sitting in the carriage was only a coachman, whom Mu Lan had never seen. When the
carriage saw Mu Lan, it had gradually slowed down its pace, and then it stopped steadily in front of Li Shiyu and Mu Lan. Only
then did Rong Jiu stick his head out of the carriage and quickly get out of the carriage. “My subordinates have seen Your Highness and Miss Mu.”
“Get up.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
Rong Jiu got up, but looked at Mu Lan’s eyes, or some do not quite agree with and alert, Mu Lan felt out, but Mu Lan did not speak.
This matter, Li Shiyu desperate to follow down, the risk is too great, Rong Jiu and Rong Temple must have opposed, but ordinary people want to reverse Li Shiyu’s decision, is more difficult.
Therefore, Mu Lan is very clear, in the eyes of Rong Jiu, now he is nothing more than a beauty disaster, but because of the presence of Li Shiyu, Rong Jiu dare not say much.
“Are you ready for what the king asked you to prepare?” Li Shiyu asked again.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows, but he was a little curious about what Li Shiyu had prepared.
But Yung Chiu answered respectfully, with a stiff voice: “My subordinates are ready. They are in the carriage.”
Li Shiyu nodded, and then looked at Mu Lan: “Your clothes, Rong Jiu has let the lotus incense ready, now in the carriage, you change your clothes, the carriage will take you to Kyoto, directly back to Mu Wang Fu.”. During this time, don’t go out at will.
Li Shiyuan could not find anyone under the cliff, and Kyoto was also wantonly searching for relevant people. To appear on the streets of Kyoto at a time
like this is just to make trouble for yourself.
But Mu Lan did not expect that Li Shiyu even thought of such details.
Such a place is not suitable for many pleasantries. Mu Lan nodded his head and thanked him in a low voice: “Thank you, Your Highness.”
Then, Mu Lan did not say much, quickly into the carriage.
As soon as he entered the carriage, sure enough, Mulan saw his clothes neatly placed in the car, with a familiar fragrance on them, which was the smell of the sachet that he liked to put.
She took a deep breath.
Mu Lan did not hesitate, quickly picked up the clothes, and then changed.
She didn’t get off again. The door curtain of the
carriage was lifted, Li Shiyu and Rong Jiu stood aside, at the moment the door curtain was lifted, Li Shiyu looked past.
Rong Jiu very consciously walked to ten meters away, looking around the movement, did not disturb two people.
Mu Lan and Li Shiyu looked at each other across the carriage for a while.
“Please ask your Highness to go to the embroidery room and look for the shopkeeper Wang. If your Highness wants to take the things I put there, the shopkeeper Wang will bring them to your Highness.” Mulan waited for a while before he spoke quietly. “Thank you for your help this time. I think what I gave your Highness is what your Highness needs.”
Li Shiyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan did not avoid Li Shiyu’s eyes.
Then Li Shiyu said coldly, “Mu Lan, if you make trouble for the king again, the next time, the king will not be in charge.”
Mu Lan smiled and said nothing.
Li Shiyu did not speak again.
Suddenly, Mu Lan’s red lips moved, but finally Mu Lan did not speak, she thought she was worrying too much, originally Mu Lan wanted to care about Li Shiyu’s injury, but thought that Li Shiyu would be medical, she asked more is also full.
Now Mu Lan understands why the ointment sent by Li Shiyu has a miraculous effect every time he is injured.
Because this is Li Shiyu’s own deployment.
Than acting, Mu Lan thought he had enough, now found that in front of Li Shiyu, all this is nothing.
It is as transparent as a piece of white paper.
Thinking of this, Mu Lan put down the door curtain and did not look at Li Shiyu again.
Li Shiyu lowered his eyebrows and raised his hand, and the coachman had already left. The sound of the
horse’s hooves soon faded away, and Li Shiyu still stood upright until the sound of the horse’s hooves disappeared, and the traces of the carriage had disappeared from Li Shiyu’s face, but Li Shiyu’s mouth suddenly spat a big mouthful of blood. As soon as
Rong Jiu’s face changed, he immediately stepped forward and, without saying a word, helped Li Shiyu get on the horse and galloped ahead. People who
know Li Shiyuan well know that this man is ruthless, will not leave any room, and is extremely cruel to the enemy. The poison on
Mu Lan’s feet is bound to kill Mu Lan as long as it is contaminated.
Mu Lan can be safe and sound, because Li Shiyu put the toxin in Mu Lan’s body on his own body, only to protect Mu Lan’s life.
Li Shiyu did not break out because Li Shiyu’s True Qi protected his body. Compared with Mu Lan, who was weak at that time, Li Shiyu’s body was much better.
And today, it’s the limit.
If we do not deal with it completely, the consequences will be unimaginable.
This is why Li Shiyu told Mu Lan, don’t give yourself trouble, trouble, he will not be in charge, because unable to jurisdiction, at least in a long period of time, Li Shiyu can not have any movement, he wants to recover in Yu Wang Fu, but also beware of the spy planted by Li Shiyuan in the mansion.
Rong Jiu naturally did not agree with Li Shiyu’s behavior, but as a subordinate of Li Shiyu, Rong Jiu could not say much.
Li Shiyu took the pills in the carriage. When he recovered, he said lightly, “Go to find shopkeeper Wang and bring back what Mu Lan left there.”
“Your Highness, you..” Rong Jiu looked at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu closed his eyes and said, “This king is all right.”
This clearly tells Rong Jiu that he is not allowed to refuse any of his orders.
Under such circumstances, Rong Jiuyi gritted his teeth and sent Li Shiyu back to the palace. After settling down, he immediately turned around and went to the shop. After
a wick of incense, Rong Jiu returned to the palace and handed the envelope handed by shopkeeper Wang to Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu waved his hand and Rong Jiu retreated. When
he opened the envelope and saw the contents, Li Shiyu’s face changed.
It was the evidence he had been looking for for a long time, but there was no place to find it all over Kyoto, but it happened to appear here in Mulan. When did Mulan do it?
Mu Lan did almost everything under Li Shiyu’s surveillance. Why did this happen to be beyond Li Shiyu’s control.
Li Shiyu’s palm was clenched into a fist.
Because of the change of mood, a mouthful of black blood spat out and stained the edge of the letter. The
candle in the room flickered on and off. The face of the man under
the candlelight is extremely gloomy.
……
The carriage did not arrive at Mu Wang Fu, but stopped in a small alley not far from Mu Wang Fu. The coachman didn’t say a word to Mulan during the
whole journey, but when the carriage was parked, he lifted the door curtain and said with an expressionless face, “Miss Mu, the slave will send you here.”
Mu Lan nodded his head and did not say much.
Soon, she got out of the carriage, the driver immediately returned to the car, and after a while, he drove away from Mu Lan and disappeared into the market in an instant.
Mu Lan looked at the place where the carriage left, but only for a moment, he withdrew his sight, quietly got into the crowd, and walked toward the back door of Mu Wang Fu. When
Mu Lan arrived at the palace, the palace was quiet.
Since the death of Chen Zhirong, Mu Zhantian in addition to guarding the mausoleum in the palace for a few days, he no longer came back, and Mu Zhihua because not out of the cabinet, naturally can not have been in and out of Mu Zhantian’s mansion, can only stay in the palace.
But without Chen Zhirong as a backer, Mu Zhihua is much more law-abiding.
Mu Lan did not think so, especially after Li Shiyuan had come before, Mu Lan knew that Mu Zhihua was waiting, waiting for a chance to turn himself over.
As long as we do not wait until this opportunity, Mu Zhihua will not cause any disturbance.
But after Wang Xueshuang has suffered a lot, his health is getting worse and worse. Although he is not terminally ill now, it is even more difficult for him to leave the ancestral temple.
The whole palace can be said to be almost empty, only Mu Lan alone on the line.
Therefore, Mu Lan is not afraid to bump into anyone who should not bump into.
Now Mu Wangfu, Mu Lan is that authority, no one dares to open his mouth to question Mu Lan. When
Mu Lan pushed the door and entered, the slave behind the door heard the noise and immediately went up to meet him. When he saw that it was Mu Lan, he was stunned and immediately knelt down. “The slave has seen the eldest lady.”
“Get up.” Mu Lan answered lightly.
This slave is called expensive, is Chen butler’s confidant, Mu Lan naturally need not worry. The places
she frequented were all watched by Chen’s housekeeper, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Degui stood up and immediately said, “The slave is going to inform the housekeeper Chen at once. The housekeeper Chen has been worried to death these days. The slave has been waiting here all the time. As soon as he sees the eldest lady, he will tell the housekeeper Chen immediately.”
Mu Wangfu knew that there were only three people missing from Mu Lan, Chen’s housekeeper, Hexiang, and Degui in front of him.
Mu Lan hum.
Degui left in a hurry.
Mu Lan did not hesitate, quickly toward the location of the snow building, back to the snow building on the way, Mu Lan or careful to avoid the other slaves in the palace, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
It was not until inside Wangxianglou that Mu Lan breathed a sigh of relief. When
Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi saw Mu Lan, they were stunned for a moment, but they didn’t say anything. They respectfully invited Ann. Mu Lan nodded and quickly walked towards Wangxiang Lou.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi looked at each other and finally shrugged their shoulders, but they were quiet.
On the contrary, when the lotus fragrance in the room heard the sound of pushing the door, she became more and more nervous and dared not breathe.
When he Xiang was thinking about the way to deal with it, he saw that the person who pushed the door and entered was Mu Lan. He Xiang blinked and immediately ran towards Mu Lan.
Regardless of propriety, Hexiang hugged Mulan and said, “Young lady, you’re back. You’re back. You scared the maidservant to death.” Laughing and crying,
she grabbed Mulan’s hand and said, “The maidservant was scared out of her wits when she found out what had happened to you. These days, Lord Yung has sent a message to the maidservant not to leave the snow-falling building. Little Qi and Little Wu are watching from the outside, not letting anyone in. But when the maidservant asked when you would come back, no one could give her an answer.”
He Xiang said a lot quickly, but Mu Lan listened patiently.
It wasn’t until He-hsiang finished that Mulan smiled, just as calmly as she had at first: “I’m back, aren’t I?”
“Are you all right, young lady?” He Xiang looked up and down and said, “Where have you been these days?”
“Nothing, I just did something.” Mu Lan did not explain too clearly.
Ho-hsiang also knew what to ask and what not to ask. She immediately said, “It’s all right. It’s all right. You really scared the maidservant.”
Mulan flicked Hexiang’s forehead and said, “I’m a strange cat with nine lives. It’s not that easy to have an accident.” As he spoke, Mulan paused and then went on to ask, “What has happened in the mansion during my absence?”
“The palace is quiet.” He Xiang thought for a moment, “The old lady is still in the ancestral temple, and the doctor comes every day, but the old lady’s condition is not very stable. Wang Yeh came back once, and when he came to see you, he was stopped by the maidservant, but Wang Yeh didn’t embarrass the maidservant.”
Mu Lan hum. Miss
Yi has been in the East Building all the time and has never left. Only once in a while can I see Chiu-hsiang, who is next to Miss Yi, come out and walk around, but she hasn’t come to Luoxue Lou either. She just doesn’t know if she has asked about anything in private.
He Xiang explained to Mu Lan what had happened in the past few days.
Mu Lan thought a little. Then he looked at He Hexiang and said, “You’ve worked hard these days. Now that I’m back, you can rest assured.”. I’ll call you if something happens. Don’t be so tense. Relax.
“The maidservant does not dare.” Hexiang shook her head.
“Don’t worry, I’m here.” Mu Lan pacified the lotus fragrance.
Walking for a whole day, or rugged mountain road, Mu Lan can not be tired, the feeling of pain in the soles of the feet, plus the wound of the calf has just healed, so walking down, inevitably some cracking.
She told the lotus incense to prepare some bandaging things for herself, and without further explanation, she sent the lotus incense away.
He Xiang naturally dared not ask more questions.
After a while, the lotus fragrance prepared the bath water for Mu Lan, as well as the medicinal materials she wanted, and then respectfully retreated.
Mu Lan took a bath to relieve his fatigue.
Then, she was dressed in the morning, and then carefully changed the medicine for herself, looking at the medicine in her hand, Mu Lan was quiet.
This is not commonly used by myself.
Mu Lan did not want to know that this was what Li Shiyu had done.
She quieted down for a moment and said nothing. After taking the medicine, she put her things aside and dressed again. As soon as she sat down, she heard a knock at the door: “Young lady, it’s a slave.”
“Come in.” Mu Lan opened his mouth wearily. The door of the
falling snow building was pushed in from the outside, and the figure of Chen’s housekeeper appeared in the building.
These days not in the palace of Mu Wang, does not mean that Mu Lan heart completely did not count, lotus incense is a maidservant, and then smart and inquire about the news, a lot of things are not lotus incense can understand.
If the lotus fragrance can understand, this Mu Wang Fu is really going to be chaotic. Chen butler is the only one who
can understand everything about this Mu Wangfu.
This is why the first thing Mu Lan came back, he had to see the housekeeper Chen.
Chen butler pushed the door and entered after getting permission. When he saw Mu Lan, he did not rush to say anything, but asked about Mu Lan with concern. After confirming that Mu Lan was safe and sound, Chen butler breathed a sigh of relief.
Two people’s eyes exchanged for a moment, and it was Chen butler who took the initiative to open his mouth.
Young lady, you’ve worried the slave to death. If you don’t come back, I’m afraid you won’t be able to hide it. At first the king of Yi County came and was sent away by the slave. The doctor in this house was already a familiar person, so it was safe to come and go, and he hid it for a while.
Chen said neatly, “But I don’t know why the king of Yi County was suspicious. He had to ask the imperial physician to come and see him. That day, many people from the palace came, but they were stopped by the slave outside the door. It happened that the prince came back. That’s why there was no bigger trouble.”
Chen butler said these, is the lotus fragrance does not know.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows. It is not a good thing for
Mu Zhantian to doubt himself, which means that things will become difficult in the future. After a
quiet moment, Mu Lan took a sip of tea and looked up at Chen. “What about the second brother?”
“The atmosphere in the palace has been tense recently. The emperor is seriously ill, and naturally the second young master cannot come back.” Housekeeper Chen explained.
Mu Lan nodded thoughtfully.
Chen butler’s words, plus Li Shiyu’s words, Mu Lan naturally linked up, Mu Zhantian suspected, only came once, not because of Mu Hongyuan’s reasons, I’m afraid it was Mu Zhanxiao who did it, Mu Zhanxiao’s official position and identity were not as good as Mu Zhantian, but Mu Zhanxiao’s special position in the palace, wanted to make trouble for Mu Zhantian. It’s easy to keep him apart.
Only then did he hold off Mu Zhantian.
But Mu Lan faintly felt that Mu Zhantian suddenly returned to the palace, not entirely to inquire about his own situation, there should be other purposes.
Chen butler’s voice is still in the ears of Mu Lan, said these days are the situation in the palace of Mu Wang, by the way, the accounts sent by the shopkeeper Wang handed to the front of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan took it and just turned it over at random.
Wang shopkeeper work, Mu Lan never worry, moreover, Wang shopkeeper is Li Shiyu trained people, ability naturally need not doubt, but if Wang shopkeeper has disloyalty to himself, Mu Lan no matter what to do, is useless.
And in the accounts sent by shopkeeper Wang, the achievements of the embroidery room are remarkable.
As Mu Lan initially expected, after the embroidery room became an instant hit, there was an endless stream of people asking for clothes, and the price of the embroidery room was already staggering. In such a high price, most of the guests were blocked and diverted.
But even so, the embroidery room is not all work. Those who
can pick up are among the most important people in the capital.
And the embroidery room does not allow the other party to make any request, take over the work of clothing, it is necessary to listen to the words of the embroidery room. Even so
, the usually unattainable royal dignitaries are still flocking to it.
But even if the record is brilliant, Mu Lan is not proud, Chen butler has always remained calm, not to mention Li Yan and Li Mu.
Their hearts are like a mirror.
Before the Li family and the world’s first embroidery room have not been rehabilitated, no one can expose any relationship with the Li family, otherwise, that is the charge of killing the nine clans.
Therefore, the embroidery room is still low-key.
But everything is developing step by step according to Mu Lan’s request. After turning over the details of the last page of the embroidery room,
Mu Lan put aside the account of the embroidery room.
She pinched some headache forehead, today got the news, quickly in Mu Lan’s mind turned around, how to deal with everything, Mu Lan heart also has a name. When he
was about to let Chen butler leave, Chen butler looked at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan quieted down, waiting for Chen butler to go on. House
keeper Chen sank, as if he were thinking about something. It took him a long time to say, “Young lady, I have one more thing to say. I don’t know whether to say it or not.”
“Say.” Mu Lan is direct.
The teacup was put down, and her eyes looked sharply at Chen’s housekeeper. In the past few months of dealing with
Chen butler, Mu Lan has a certain understanding of Chen butler. It is not unreasonable that Chen butler can come to today’s position. Even if there are many changes in the palace, no one in Mu’s palace can shake Chen butler’s position.
Therefore, the words that Chen butler can say must also have a basis.
But now can let Chen butler so vague thing, can not help but let Mu Lan twist eyebrows feel curious up.
“Well, the slave was passing by the East Building one day and happened to see the second young lady throw up.” Housekeeper Chen recalls, “The imperial concubine on this side has gone, but the second young lady is still the second young lady of the palace, the emperor’s own Miss Yi, so the slave can’t turn a blind eye to it, so the slave goes in.”
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows.
But the second young lady seemed to be very nervous when she saw the slave, and without letting the slave say a few words, she dismissed him. This makes the slave feel strange. So in the next few days, the slave became concerned about the matter of the East Building. It was only then that he noticed that Qiu Xiang often went to the back kitchen to get some sweet and sour snacks back to the East Building, and the slave asked the people in the back kitchen. Apart from these, the second young lady hardly touched the food sent to the East Building. The housekeeper
Chen said without changing his countenance, “The slave has watched the second young lady grow up. What the second young lady hates most is sour. She doesn’t dare to bring sour food to the East Building. She suddenly likes sour food.”
As he said this, the housekeeper Chen paused, and then said very clearly, “The slave is suspicious. Is the second young lady pregnant?
A word, startled the thunder on the ground.
Mu Lan’s eyelids finally moved, and his slender fingers beat a regular rhythm on the table. Then he looked at Chen butler: “Chen butler, if this word gets out, do you know what the result is?”
“The slave knows.” Chen answered, “So the slave never dared to open his mouth to say a word, and naturally he didn’t disturb the one in the East Tower.” House
keeper Chen handled the matter watertight.
Mu Lan then nodded and waved his hand. “I know about this. You go to rest first. I’ll deal with this matter tomorrow.”
“Yes.” Chen butler also said no more.
Mu Lan always has a name in mind when doing things. When
Chen butler said this matter, he did not surprise Mu Lan at all, which meant that Mu Lan actually had a pretty good idea of this matter.
In this case, there is no need for him to bother to think about anything, just do his part.
Chen butler thought of this and calmly retreated. Inside the
falling snow building, it was quiet again. After
Chen butler left, Mu Lan did not sleep for a long time, until the candle on the table gradually burned out, Mu Lan stood up and walked towards the bed. When the
sky was slightly bright, Mu Lan fell asleep.
But it was only less than hour, and Mu Lan had already opened his eyes.
She called Hexiang. He Xiang, who had been guarding
outside, heard the noise and immediately came in to wait for Mu Lan to dress up.
“Breakfast is ready, madam.” He Xiang said in a low voice.
Mu Lan waved his hand and said, “No, go to the ancestral temple first. We’ll talk about it when we get back.”
She disappeared for a few days, the ancestral temple naturally can not go, although the palace all know that Mu Lan is ill, but for a long time, it is not appropriate.
In Wang Xueshuang that became to hold the pet and Jiao, Mu Lan is impossible to make trouble for oneself.
So the first thing to come back, Mu Lan must be to pay his respects to Wang Xueshuang.
Not only that, Mu Lan is not wrong, since he and Li Shiyu have returned to Kyoto, which means that the people who stopped Mu Zhantian and Mu Hongyuan in the palace will also catch their breath, Mu Hongyuan will naturally return to the palace.
After all, apart from anything else, Mu Hongyuan is famous for his filial piety. It is impossible for Mu Hongyuan not to remember
Wang Xueshuang’s current situation.
Therefore, today is bound to meet Mu Hongyuan.
Quiet, Mu Lan did not think much, stood up and hurried toward the snow building outside, the lotus fragrance did not dare to hesitate, immediately followed up.
…… In the
ancestral hall, when Mammy Li saw Mu Lan coming, she said, “I’ve seen the eldest lady.”
“You’re welcome, Mammy. Get up.” As usual, Mammy Li, whom Mu Lan helped herself up, said in a faint voice, “I haven’t been feeling well these days, and I haven’t dared to come to the ancestral temple to pay my respects to my grandmother, for fear of infecting her.”
“The old lady has always known about your heart. These days, the old lady is still thinking about you.” Mammy Li has a very good impression of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan said with a smile, “I did ask housekeeper Chen about my grandmother’s daily condition. Housekeeper Chen said that my grandmother’s condition was stable these days. No, I was better, so I hurried over to see my grandmother.”. Could you put me through to see if it would be convenient for my grandmother to see me?
“If you come directly with the maidservant, the old lady has told you that as long as you are a young lady, you don’t need to pass it on.” Said Mammy Li with a smile.
Mu Lan nodded, but not arrogant and impetuous to follow Mammy Li toward the ancestral temple.
Soon, Mu Lan saw Wang Xueshuang on the bed.
Wang Xueshuang was emaciated and his face was not good, but at least he could sit up and look at people, but it was much harder to walk. When she
saw Mu Lan coming, she was naturally in a good mood. She also swept away the previous haze and smiled at Mu Lan. Then she patted the edge of the bed: “Come, Lan, come and sit next to Grandma. Let me take a good look at you. I heard you were ill these days. I’m looking at you here. You’ve lost a lot of weight.”
“No.” Mu Lan cleverly walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. “Let grandma worry. Lan Er didn’t come to see you. Lan Er feels very guilty.”
“My old bones, that’s it.” Wang Hsueh-shuang, on the other hand, is open-minded. “After Lan Er came back, my spirits were much better, so you are good news to grandma.”
Mu Lan just smiled, but did not claim credit.
On the contrary, Wang Hsueh-shuang quickly sighed: “If everyone in this mansion were as sensible as you are, it wouldn’t be like this. I’m too old to control these things, so it’s all right for you to decide these things in the mansion. There’s no need to interfere with me any more.”
Mu Lan was surprised. I haven’t spoken
for a while.
You know, when Chen Zhirong was in power, Wang Xueshuang was not completely decentralized. Chen Zhirong still had to inform Wang Xueshuang about the major events in the government. If Wang Xueshuang did not agree, Chen Zhirong could not do anything.
In other words, Chen Zhirong died, in fact, did not get full control of the palace.
But now even if Mu Lan ascends, Mu Lan also remembers this point, the important matter also still must report to Wang Xueshuang.
Now Wang Xueshuang said this sentence, it means that the rights of the entire palace are given to Mu Lan, anything as long as Mu Lan nodded, no longer need to go through Wang Xueshuang.
This also surprised Mu Lan. What happened
these days made Wang Xueshuang suddenly relax.
Quiet, Mu Lan looked at Wang Xueshuang.
Without waiting for Mu Lan to open his mouth, Wang Xueshuang said wearily, “Zhihua comes to pay his respects to me every day, but every time he pays his respects to me, he always says that he is going to live in the palace of the county of Zhan Tian.”. She said that there was no mother in the palace, and that she wanted to be closer to Zhan Tian.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows.
This matter, Mu Lan naturally can not know.
After all, it is Mu Zhihua and Wang Xueshuang’s request, unless Wang Xueshuang is willing to say, otherwise, even Chen butler can not find out.
If it is said that
Mu Lan is heavy, the low eyebrows and eyes hide a deep meaning.
Mu Zhihua is not such a simple reason, it is necessary to go to Mu Zhan Tian.
On the surface, Mu Zhihua is a harmless person, and after Mu Lan’s rebirth, Mu Zhihua does things that are extremely brainless, but Mu Lan knows very well that Mu Zhihua has never been such a person.
After repeated defeats and even heavy losses, Mu Zhihua will only become more and more calm to seek everything he wants.
Do not move Mu Zhihua, because the time has not yet come.
But now Mu Zhihua put forward this request, plus Chen butler’s words, and before Li Shiyuan had come to Mu Wangfu, Mu Lan’s heart was as clear as a mirror.
I’m afraid it’s true that you’re pregnant. It was
also premeditated by Mu Zhihua.
Want to leave Mu Wangfu, is a guilty fear of Mu Lan to Mu Zhihua, escape to Mu Zhan Tian that, is indeed the best place to hide, after all, now Mu Lan’s hand can not reach into Yi Jun Wangfu.
If Mu Zhihua does not go, the next draft, Mu Zhihua as long as there is no marriage, is bound to go. Everyone in
Kyoto now knows that the object of Li Shiyuan’s concubine is Mu Lan, and even Li Shiyuan has made this request face to face.
Under such circumstances, Mu Zhihua could be made a side concubine by Li Shiyuan.
But how could Mu Hongyuan be reconciled.
Every daughter in the hands of Mu Hongyuan is a chess piece, Mu Lan can stabilize Li Shiyuan, naturally, Mu Zhihua will marry a more useful person, can make Mu Hongyuan’s right-hand man more strong.
Hiding to Mu Zhantian, I’m afraid it’s also to avoid marriage, and the first time to tell Li Shiyuan news of pregnancy.
This matter, really interesting
Mu Lan low under the eyebrows and eyes, with a trace of cruelty, but such cruelty is hidden very well.
But Wang Xueshuang’s words are still vivid in my ears: “You say, how can I agree to this matter?”? Side imperial concubine is gone, is how to go, know painting in the mind not to count? Is there no one in the Mu Mansion? Is Wang Ye gone? Am I not here as an old woman? Let her go to Zhan Tianna, and when the people of Kyoto know, what can they think of the people of Prince Mu’s Mansion?
Said Wang Xueshuang looked more and more angry, suddenly coughed a few times.
Mu Lan quickly patted Wang Hsueh-shuang on the back and gently followed: “Grandmother, don’t worry. Lan Er will take care of this.”
“Alas, this is the misfortune of Prince Mu’s Mansion. The reputation of Prince Mu’s Mansion over the past hundred years cannot be ruined.” Wang Hsueh-shuang waved her hand as she said that she was really a little tired. “You can handle this.”
“Lan’er knows.” Mu Lan answered.
Wang Xueshuang nodded and said nothing more.
Just then Mammy Li came in and said in a low voice, “Madam, the prince is here.”
The voice fell, outside also heard the voice of the boy, soon, Mu Hongyuan appeared in the house, Mu Lan quickly stood up and looked at Mu Hongyuan.
“Lan’er has seen her father.” Mu Lanfu blessed the body and paid his respects.
Mu Hongyuan looked at Mu Lan and looked up and down carefully. Then he said, “Lan has lost weight these days.”
Mu Lan just smiled, did not speak, quietly gave up the side of the position, standing on the edge of Mu Hongyuan.
Mu Hongyuan also did not say much, sat down beside Wang Xueshuang’s bed, accompanied Wang Xueshuang to chat for a while.
Mu Lan did not listen too carefully, the brain moved very quickly, the next thing to do arrangements, is also a pretty good idea.
And Mu Lan is very clear, Mu Hongyuan is afraid to come back to see Wang Xueshuang is one, to find themselves is the second.
She just has to wait now.
Sure enough, after Mu Hongyuan and Wang Xueshuang had chatted for a while, he stood up and left: “Mother, there are still some things that have not been dealt with. You should rest more. During this time, things in the palace are not so tense. The new imperial doctor has also let the emperor’s in stable condition down. He will come to see you soon.”
Wang Xueshuang nodded.
“The child has something to do with Lan Er, so the child takes Lan Er to leave first, and then comes to see his mother later.” Mu Hongyuan is not ambiguous, said directly.
Then Mu Hongyuan and Wang Xueshuang motioned, then turned around and explained to Mammy Li a few words, then looked at Mu Lan, Mu Lan has also stood up, and Wang Xueshuang said goodbye, did not say anything, followed Mu Hongyuan out.
Mu Lan cleverly followed behind Mu Hongyuan.
Two people out of the ancestral temple to see Mu Zhihua toward the ancestral temple, more and more carefully up.
Obviously, when Mu Zhihua saw Mu Lan, his face also changed.
But soon, with his head down, Mu Chih-hua and Mu Hung-yuan paid their respects: “Chih-hua has seen my father.” When he looked at Mu Lan again, Mu Chih-hua was reluctant, but he still gave in. “Chih-hua has seen his sister.”
“All right, get up.” Mu Hongyuan did not mean to stay much and strode away.
Mu Lan nodded, as if he did not want to say anything more to Mu Zhihua, but when he passed by Mu Zhihua, Mu Lan’s footsteps suddenly stopped.
This action made Mu Chih-hua as nervous as he could be, and he immediately asked, “Mu Lan, what are you doing?”
Mu Lan raised her eyebrows and looked at Mu Zhihua with a half-smile. “Miss Yi, I heard from my grandmother that these days, you are begging your grandmother to go out of the Mu Palace and go to live with the King of Yi County.”
Mu Zhihua bit his lip and did not speak. “Maybe you don’t know,” Mu Lan laughed softly in
her ear. “Grandmother has already given me the right to go, so if you want to go to the King of Yi County, I’m afraid it’s up to me.”
Mu Zhihua’s face changed.
You know, from Wang Xueshuang, Mu Zhihua still has a chance, at least Chen Zhirong has gone, Mu Zhihua can finally get the result he wants.
But this matter fell on the body of Mu Lan, not so easy to discuss.
After all, Mu Lan’s means, Mu Zhi painting is seen, but also familiar.
“Miss Yi, do you think I will agree or not?” Mu Lan looked at Mu Zhihua jokingly, but his eyebrows and eyes were full of provocation.
Voice fell, Mu Lan and Mu Zhihua did not continue to say much, slightly nodded, as if nothing had happened, quickly kept up with the pace of Mu Hongyuan.
Mu Zhihua stood where he was, his face looking more and more ugly.
Qiu Xiang was even more breathless. Seeing that Mu Zhihua hadn’t moved for a long time, she began to ask, “Miss, you still want to go to the old lady to pay your respects!”
“I’m not going.” Mu Chih-hua rudely answered, “This young lady is leaving the house now.”
“Well,” said Qiu Xiang, “the young lady has come back, and this woman is out of the house..”
“Hehe.” Mu Chih-hua’s expression darkened as well. “Just go to the butler Chen and report that I’m going to visit the king of Yi County. I want to see who dares to stop me.” With
that, Mu Zhihua turned and walked away.
Qiu Xiang also dare not hesitate, immediately according to Mu Zhihua’s request to do.
Mu Zhihua’s footsteps did not pretend to be fast, low eyes fell on his flat lower abdomen, more and more gloomy up.
She’s not even sure she’s pregnant right now.
It’s just that the situation now looks like.
But Mu Zhihua did not dare to brazenly look for a doctor to feel the pulse, so she had to leave Mu Wangfu, but has not been agreed by Wang Xueshuang, plus these days can not see Mu Lan, Mu Zhihua heart did not count, for fear of accidents out of the house. The most taboo of
Mu Zhihua is to be known by Mu Lan.
Mu Lan’s means have made Mu Zhihua shiver until now.
Naturally, under such circumstances, to see Mu Zhantian, hiding in Yi Jun Wang Fu is the safest, and if really pregnant, this matter is bound to be the first time to let Li Shiyuan know.
Mu Zhihua’s pace was getting faster and faster, and he was already walking outside the palace at the first time. At
the same time, Mu Lan in
the study followed Mu Hongyuan into the study, Mu Hongyuan sat down, Mu Lan stood quietly aside, and did not take the initiative to open his mouth.
Mu Hongyuan was thinking about something, and Mu Lan did not interrupt.
It’s a game, a silent game. The one who is impatient
first is the loser.
Mu Lan knows this, but she also understands that it is still necessary to give Mu Hongyuan some face and leeway in everything. Finally, she breaks the silence first: “What’s so important that Dad is looking for me?”
Mu Lan opened his mouth, and Mu Hongyuan’s next thing seemed to be much easier to say.
But Mu Hongyuan did not come straight to the point, but to Mu Lan asked for warmth for a while, Mu Lan smiling face Yingying should, Mu Hongyuan Mu Lan really nothing serious, this is satisfied with the nod.
The topic, step by step, switched to issues related to the ultimate goal.
“Lan’er.” Mu Hung-yuan’s voice is much more gentle. Half a month later, it will be the talent show in the palace. As you know, the children of the officials of Dazhou, when they reach the age of 16 weeks, as long as they are not married or disabled, must enter the palace to participate in the draft.
“Lan’er knows.” Mu Lan cleverly answered, and did not say a word more, but quietly waited for Mu Hongyuan to finish his words.
Mu Hongyuan and Mu Lan nodded, looking very pleased: “You have already passed the 16th, this year’s draft, even if the king is reluctant, can not disobey the imperial edict.”
Mu Lan did not speak and stood quietly.
But Mu Hongyuan looked at Mu Lan and sighed: “What happened to Zhirong? Everything in this house falls on you, big and small. Your grandmother is full of praise for you. If you really enter the palace, this king will really be worried about the things in this house.”
“There are a lot of talented people in the Mu Mansion, and my father has trained more than a few confidants. Even if Lan’er is not in the palace one day, I don’t think the palace will stop working.” Mu Lan knows how to follow Mu Hongyuan’s words.
Mu Hongyuan was even more satisfied: “Wang Fu is going to have a person like you on the stage.”. Ben Wang has already reported the draft. You can go at ease, and the king will deal with other things naturally. Blessed is
Mu Lan: “Lan’er thanks Daddy for dealing with him.”
But Mu Lan’s heart is a burst of sneer. What is
this deal?
Personally sent her to the side of Li Changtian, the terminally ill emperor, or single-handedly pushed himself to the position of Crown Princess, no matter what kind, the only profit-making person is Mu Hongyuan.
When all things come to an end, Mu Hongyuan will not remember Mu Lan.
Even Luo Xue, who once loved her to the bone marrow, failed to save her own child after her death. Did Luo Xue
really die of dystocia because he hated Mu Lan?
Perhaps this mood is a little bit, but more because at that time the Chen family can bring more benefits to Mu Hongyuan, his memory is just left a courtyard, did not straighten Chen Zhirong, that’s all. Mu Lan knows better than anyone how indifferent
people are.
She stood quietly.
Mu Hongyuan said a lot, but they are all related to the draft, as if to remind Mu Lan, Mu Lan just listened quietly, and did not say much.
Suddenly, Mu Hongyuan quieted down and looked meaningfully at Mu Lan: Lan, that deep palace courtyard is the dream of many women. To enter the palace and get favor is a lifetime of splendor and wealth. As long as you’re inside, there’s nothing you can’t do.
Mu Hongyuan is inculcating Mu Lan.
Mu Lan sneers in the heart, but when facing Mu Hongyuan, he still appears to be much calmer.
Mu Hongyuan stood up and walked up to Mu Lan. He looked down at the beautiful woman in front of him. His voice was even deeper: “Lan, you are a wise man. No matter whether you are the Crown Princess or something else in the future, the king believes that you will certainly achieve something. The future of Mu Wang Fu still depends on you.”. You will definitely stay in this draft. The implication
is that whether it is the Crown Princess or the emperor’s concubine, what Mu Lan has to do now is to enter the palace first.
This is Mu Hongyuan’s purpose. It’s a
bright circle. “Lan knows,”
Mu Lan answered quietly on the surface.
“Okay.” Mu Hung-yuan was obviously very pleased. “You really didn’t let the king down.”
Mu Lan smiled and did not speak, but also did not stay in place, when Mu Hongyuan was called away by the bodyguard, Mu Lan left the study.
Walking out of the main building, the bright sunshine shines on Mu Lan’s deep face, which is a beautiful face under the light and shadow, but there is no trace of tenderness in such a beautiful face, but with gloom.
Bone-seeping cold.
She walked in the courtyard step by step and walked towards the snow falling building without changing her face. In
Mu Hongyuan’s words, Mu Lan more or less understood that in this draft, the probability of her becoming Li Changtian’s concubine was far better than probability of becoming the Crown Princess.
Because Li Changtian eyes, full of possessive desire, Mu Lan see clearly.
Mu Lan has lived in the palace for many years in his last life. He knows better than anyone that the rules and regulations in the palace are very strict. If you want to do one thing, you will be restricted because of your identity. In the end, everything is without success.
So this life, Mu Lan to enter the palace, but do not want the first time to accept the position of Crown Princess, is to want to be able to walk freely in the palace, when no one is interested, quickly find evidence and clues.
And not any kind of imperial concubine’s identity, in front of the empress Dowager, Mu Lan just appears not to take any purpose, can find a backer, for the future change of their own identity, is beneficial and harmless.
But nowadays, man is not as good as God.
Li Changtian and Mu Hongyuan have obviously reached a consensus.
Even when Li Shiyuan first asked for marriage in public, Li Changtian stopped him.
The matter has become delicate.
Obviously today Mu Hongyuan’s words, Li Shiyuan does not know this result, only blindly thinks that after the draft, everything can have a turn for the better.
Ha ha
is indeed a turning point, but this turning point has become Li Changtian’s concubine.
Li Changtian is now almost a basket case, becoming Li Changtian’s concubine, Mu Lan wants to get his ultimate fate with his knees.
After the death of Li Changtian, she would cut her hair and become a nun, enter the Gan’en Temple, and accompany the Buddha all day long.
This is the best result.
During the six months when Li Changtian was still on the throne, Mu Lan was in the palace. What did he take to fight with Qu Hua? How can Qu Huachang tolerate himself.
Therefore, to become Li Shiyuan’s Crown Princess, I am afraid, is to be put on the agenda ahead of time.
This thing seems to be getting a little tricky.
Mu Lan’s pace is faster and faster, the tight frown did not stretch out, until outside the snow building, Mu Lan took a deep breath, the complexion gradually calmed down.
Water to earth cover, soldiers will block.
She’s been dead once. What’s she afraid of? No one was more familiar with
that palace than she was.
Mu Lan sneers, pushes the door and enters, changed the clothes that go out, took lotus fragrance to leave Mu Wang Fu very quickly. But the lotus fragrance sees Mu Lan’s cold look, also some are frightened not to dare to speak, follow Mu Lan step by step. The streets of
Kyoto have not changed because of this incident, and they are still bustling.
Mu Lan calmly walked in the street, as if he had not come to the busy market for a long time, interested in everything, looking left and right, occasionally staying in front of some vendors, as if he was choosing what he liked.
Hexiang didn’t speak the whole time and followed.
But Mu Lan knew very well that among the people who came and went in the market, there were also Li Shiyuan’s people, dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, looking for suspicious people back and forth in the market.
Therefore, Mu Lan can not go to the shop, or according to the plan, go to the teahouse waiting for shopkeeper Wang. Along
the way, Mu Lan seemed to be looking at his favorite shops, but his sharp eyes were looking at all kinds of people around him.
From the moment of leaving the palace to arriving at the teahouse, there were at least eight or nine people around Li Shiyuan.
Looking at their own eyes as usual, but with a trace of deep, as if to explore something.
Until Mu Lan walked into the teahouse. When the people in
the teahouse saw Mu Lan, they were much warmer: “Miss Mu, I haven’t seen you here for a long time.”. Is it still the same?
The shopkeeper came out to greet him in person and said with a smile, which was very flattering. Everyone in
the teahouse knows that Mulan is a frequent visitor to the teahouse.
Mulan smiled and said, “Let’s do as we did before.”
The shopkeeper led the way and took Mu Lan to the private room on the second floor, but Mu Lan suddenly stopped when he went upstairs and looked at the master who was talking about storytelling in the lobby of the teahouse, as if he was fascinated.
“If Miss Mu is interested in chicken storytelling, the younger one will give you a box in the inner room so that you can hear it clearly in the private room.” The shopkeeper knew how to recognize people’s eyes and said quickly.
Mu Lan nodded. “Do it.”
Then Mu Lan did not stop, turned toward the compartment, the fundus of the look more and more thoughtful up.
Soon, the shopkeeper brought Mu Lan into the compartment, and the door of the compartment closed silently.
Mu Lan’s position can see the master talking about storytelling, cadenced voice, talking about some unofficial history of the people, the people in the front hall are more interested in listening.
This is the feature of Dazhou.
Every teahouse has a storyteller.
And a lot of gossip comes from here, and it can spread all over Kyoto at the fastest speed.
Mu Lan’s palm is playing with the teacup, for a long time Mu Lan just picked up the teacup to smell, slowly drank a mouthful, the tea has been cold.
She twisted her eyebrows and put the teacup aside without touching it again.
There was a knock on the door, and the voice of shopkeeper Wang said, “Young lady, it’s me.”
“Come in.” Mu Lan answered.
Soon, the figure of shopkeeper Wang appeared in the compartment, Mu Lan nodded, and did not open his mouth to say much, but changed the clean tea, brewed a pot of tea, to fill the shopkeeper Wang.
Only then did Mu Lan leisurely say, “I’ve been working hard these days, shopkeeper Wang.”
“What a slave should do.” Shopkeeper Wang is very respectful. The conversation between the
two men was very simple. Shopkeeper Wang just said about the recent situation of the shop: “Everything in the shop is running well, and no suspicious person has come, but someone from the East Palace has come in person.”
“Oh?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and took a look, then filled the empty teacup.
“He said that he had been ordered by the prince to make a wedding dress.” Shopkeeper Wang explained, The slave said it was a big deal, so the slave had to discuss it with the embroidery ladies before he could agree. So it was temporarily pushed.
“When did this happen?” Mulan put down his teacup and asked heavily. Shopkeeper
Wang thought for a moment and gave the exact time: “It was yesterday.”
“Yesterday?” Mu Lan repeated the sentence, and then she stopped talking, as if she were meditating on something. Shop
keeper Wang did not dare to interrupt Mu Lan’s words and stood quietly in front of him.
For a long time, Mulan looked up at shopkeeper Wang and said, “If the people of the East Palace come again, they will accept this matter, but all the details must be reported to me truthfully every day, and I can only proceed to the next step when I make a decision.”
“Yes.” Shopkeeper Wang didn’t ask much.
Mu Lan nodded his head.
This matter, Mu Lan can guess.
The East Palace sent someone to ask for a wedding dress.
I’m afraid Li Shiyuan is trying to please himself. Now the embroidery Niang in the palace is far better than embroidery Niang in the embroidery room. To please Mu Lan, Li Shiyuan also tried his best.
Without these deep hatred, Mu Lan knows that few women will face such a situation and not be moved, and Mu Zhihua is the best example, as well as his previous life died unjustly.
But this matter, Mu Lan has his own decision.
You know, the rules in the palace, once you accidentally hit a mine, you can tell your life at any time. The wedding dress from the Li family is naturally the envy of everyone.
But in this palace, if it is married into the East Palace, all this is not their own decision, naturally to the queen mother and the queen. Li Shiyuan sent this dress to please, not really to be used when entering the palace.
Mu Lan promised to come down, naturally useful.
From the beginning of the famous embroidery room, people who want to get the clothes of the embroidery room can be found everywhere, and Mu Zhihua is one of them, but it happened that Mu Lan refused to tailor the clothes for Mu Zhihua.
I can imagine how gloomy Mu Zhihua’s mood is.
But now
Mu Lan smiled, the bottom of the eyes deep, a touch of cruel sweep, soon disappeared.
Then Mulan slowly looked at shopkeeper Wang and said, “Shopkeeper Wang, I have something I want you to do for me.”
“Go ahead, young lady.” Shopkeeper Wang did not refuse and accepted it neatly.
Mu Lan took out a piece of paper from his wide sleeve and handed it to shopkeeper Wang, but the color of his eyes did not change. He said lightly, “You help me pass the contents of this paper to the major teahouses in Kyoto, and ask the Master to say it word for word according to the contents of the paper.”. I think you know better than I how to polish it. Shopkeeper
Wang glanced at the contents of the note. His face changed slightly, but he soon calmed down: “The slave obeys. The slave is going to do it.”
Don’t hurry, step by step, and don’t get into trouble. Don’t let anyone find out who started the conversation. This story will be all over Kyoto in half a month. Mu Lan explained carefully.
“Yes.” Shopkeeper Wang answered cautiously. How could a person like shopkeeper Wang not understand the priorities of
this matter. But he didn’t ask a word the whole time.
Mu Lan nodded. The
compartment quieted down. Shopkeeper
Wang did not continue to stay in the compartment, but quietly left.
Mu Lan also did not stop, continue to listen to the following storytelling in the private room, but appears to be extremely interested, until lunch, Mu Lan just got up, left the teahouse, ready to return to Mu Wang Fu.
He Xiang saw Mu Lan come out and immediately followed him.
The master and servant did not talk and returned along the original road. When they
reached the intersection, Hexiang suddenly quieted down and looked at a certain place. Then she said to Mu Lan, “Young lady, did the maidservant see the second young lady?”
With these words, Hexiang did not forget to blink.
Mu Lan has also looked at the past along the position of the lotus fragrance.
He Xiang saw it, and Mu Lan naturally saw it.
Mu Zhihua took Qiu Xiang out of a hospital, which Chen Zhirong trusted very much, and many doctors in and out of Mu Wangfu also came out of this hospital.
After Mu Lan came to power, he gradually replaced Chen Zhirong’s people with his own people.
So the doctor of this hospital also gradually did not appear in the palace.
But now
Mu Lan sank, quietly standing in place, watching Mu Zhihua with Qiu Xiang toward the position of Yi Jun Wang Fu, and then, Mu Lan just stepped forward.
“Young lady, where are you going?” Hexiang hesitated and asked hurriedly. “The hospital,”
said Mulan.
Lotus incense ah, did not have time to think, Mu Lan has walked past, lotus incense dare not hesitate, hurriedly followed up. When
Mu Lan walked into the hospital, the people in the hospital saw Mu Lan and his face changed.
Mu Lan stood motionless, while Dr. Gong hurried out of the inner room. “Miss Mu, what brings you here?”
The tone was flattering and ingratiating, but more tentative.
Mu Lan smiled and said, “I have something to ask Dr. Gong.” Dr.
Gong was already in a cold sweat.
He and Mu Lan contact time is not much, so a few times, Gong doctor each time appears to be cautious. Compared with Chen Zhirong, Mu Lan is more difficult to serve.
On the surface, Mu Lan is good at everything, but Mu Lan is not as good as others, every word is asked on the point, so that you have no chance to hide, let alone resist.
“Dr. Kung should know who I am. I don’t like people lying to me.” “Do you want to talk to me here, Doctor Gong, or do you want to go in and talk?”
Mu Lan is neither salty nor light. Doctor
Gong did not think about it, but naturally thought of the time when Mu Zhihua came before, and then thought of the situation when he felt the pulse of Mu Zhihua, and his face changed even more.
I’m afraid the one in front of me already knows about this. It’s better to
confess than to hide. People in Kyoto can see the situation clearly
now.
Mu Zhihua’s idea, Gong doctor is also very clear, but meet Mu Lan, ascend this matter, really can not say. At this time how to choose to stand in line, Gong doctor can not not know, not to mention, compared with Mu Lan, Mu Zhihua now in addition to a Mu Zhantian, there is no backing. As soon as
they entered the inner room, before Mu Lan could speak, Dr. Kung said respectfully, “Second Miss is pregnant for about a month.”
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows as he listened to Gong’s words, but smiled: “Gong is a man who knows the times. I have written this down. It will be good for the future, and Gong will be indispensable.”
“The old man doesn’t ask the young lady to do him good. If the young lady can take care of the old man when something goes wrong, the old man will be very grateful.” Doctor Gong knelt down and kowtowed to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan picked up Dr. Gong and said, “I will do my best.”
“With the young lady’s words, the old man is at ease.” Dr. Gong answered.
Mu Lan did not stay much, after getting accurate information, turned around and left, Gong doctor also did not send Mu Lan out again.
After Mu Lan turned around, Dr. Kung’s respectful voice said, “See the eldest lady off.”
Mu Lan’s figure has left calmly with Dr. Gong’s words.
This time, Mu Lan did not stay, took the lotus fragrance directly back to Mu Wang Fu.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the palace of Prince Mu, the butler Chen hurried to report, “Young lady, the second young lady has gone to the palace of Prince Yi.”
Mu Lan hum, as if already knew.
Chen butler did not say anything more, turned around to report some things in the house, and then quietly retreated.
Mu Lan went back to the snow falling building.
…… In the
evening, Mu Lan glanced at the sky and said, “It’s getting dark. Isn’t Miss Yi going to come back?”
He Xiang shook his head, not daring to speak out, nor could he guess what Mu Lan was thinking.
Mu Lan smiled faintly and said, “He Xiang, go and send the butler Chen.”
Lotus incense answered, and after a while, Chen’s housekeeper came, while Mu Lan was drinking tea in the small courtyard. When the breeze gently blew, the fallen leaves flew forward with the wind.
“Young lady, you are looking for a slave.” Chen butler respectfully opened his mouth.
Mu Lan hummed and drank the tea in his cup. Then he looked up at the housekeeper: “If you don’t go out without permission, and if you don’t return home at night, what’s the family law?” He
was punished to kneel down in the ancestral temple for a day and a night, and to copy the Buddhist scriptures. If you are a slave, you will have to take 30 big responsibilities. Chen butler said with an expressionless face.
The former Mu Lan has experienced, that kind of taste Mu Lan is too clear.
Not to mention that Mu Zhihua is still pregnant.
She listened quietly, and when Chen’s voice fell, Mu Lan said, “The sky is almost dark, and Miss Yi hasn’t come back yet, eh?”
“Yes, Miss Yi hasn’t come back yet.” Chen butler did not deny Mu Lan’s words.
Mu Lan smiled, this smile with a bit of cold, let a person shudder.
Obviously is not directed at Chen butler, Chen butler unexpectedly also had the feeling of cold sweat. Standing where he was, he dared not move.
Gradually, Mu Lan’s smile converged, her eyelids did not blink, and every word she said was cruel and could not be refused by anyone.
“I’d like to ask housekeeper Chen to personally go to the Yijun Mansion and say that it’s my intention. Any female dependents in the palace without my permission are not allowed to go out or spend the night without permission. I’d also like to ask Miss Yi to explain to me what’s going on.”
Mu Lan’s words did not have any extreme place, but they could not be refused. As
she looked at Chen, her eyes sank a little: If Miss Yi insists on not coming back, then ask Chen to tell Miss Yi, and this matter can only be dealt with by family law. Let Miss Yi not forget who is now in charge of Prince Mu’s mansion.
“Yes.” Chen’s butler answered respectfully, “The slave is going to the palace of Yi County at once.”
Mu Lan hum, Chen butler has hurried back down.
He Xiang stood beside him, frightened by Mu Lan’s words: “Young lady, if you come here, you won’t even give the king of Yi County face.”
“Does the king of Yi County need my face?” Mu Lan asked in reply.
He Xiang thought about it and finally did not speak.
Yes, they need Mu Lan’s face there.
In the matter of Chen Zhirong, they have long torn their faces, the surface of peace has been gone, each other are people who hate each other deeply.
There is no need to be polite. If Mu Zhihua is tolerated
this time, then Mu Zhihua will do something more excessive next time, and this time the tolerance will become a handle for Mu Lan to fall into Mu Zhihua’s hands.
So in reason, no matter from which angle, Mu Lan must bring Mu Zhihua back today.
On the contrary, the whole journey, Mu Lan is like a person who has nothing to do, sitting quietly, leisurely making tea.
Only occasionally fell on the tea box, Mu Lan’s eyes sank for a moment.
This tea was left by Li Shiyu when he came earlier.
And this person, as if from the bottom of the cliff after a farewell, really never saw, even shopkeeper Wang no longer mentioned Li Shiyu things, not to mention, Mu Lan can also see Rong Jiu.
Li Shiyu seems to have disappeared.
So, is something wrong?
Mu Lan’s eyebrows slightly twisted, can not help but some worry up.
……
About a wick of incense in the past, the sky outside is getting heavier and heavier, the surroundings become quiet, the whole palace is as quiet as a needle dropped on the ground can be heard clearly.
It was not until Ho-hsiang hurried over and said, “Young lady, the housekeeper Chen has come back with Miss Yi.” He Xiang paused. “And the king of Yi County.”
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows.
Is this looking for help?
But Mu Lan never changed his face: “Let them wait outside. You go out and send a message that I will change my clothes and come out.”
“Yes.” He Xiang answered.
Mu Lan is not anxious to let the moon give himself more clothes, just let Mu Zhantian and Mu Zhihua wait outside for a while, and then slowly walked from the house to the outside, looking at the livid Mu Zhantian, and a face of indignant Mu Zhihua, the expression has become more and more like a smile.
“Don’t go too far, Mulan.” It was Mu Zhihua who opened his mouth.
As if with Mu Zhantian as a backer, Mu Zhihua’s attitude is much stronger. Mu Zhantian stood, the meaning of protection could not be more clear.
Mu Lan raised her eyebrows. “Did Miss Yi ask me when she went out?”? Did I agree?
One sentence blocked Mu Zhihua to death, but Mu Zhihua did not relent: “Oh, sister, you had already gone out at that time, and I could only explain to the housekeeper Chen.”. Besides, why shouldn’t I go to my own brother?
“Yes.” Mu Lan nodded and pointed to the sky again. “If you don’t come back after this time, you can’t do it.”. I remember that I didn’t come back after hours, but I was punished to kneel in the ancestral temple all night. So you have to treat everyone equally, don’t you?
“You..” Mu Zhihua’s face changed. Standing to
one side, Mu Zhantian also changed his face and looked at Mu Lan with a sharp look in his eyes. “Mu Lan, you should know that Zhihua is the emperor’s own Miss Yi, who is superior to you in status. You are not qualified to talk to her like that. You are guilty of heresy.”
This, Mu Zhantian said sonorous and forceful, but also appears to be particularly gloomy, between the lines with a warning to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan chuckled and bowed his head and took a sip of tea, as if he didn’t care about Mu Zhantian’s threat. He was not
even in a hurry to respond to Mu Zhantian immediately.
It was not until she finished drinking tea that she slowly put down her teacup, stood up, and walked step by step in the direction of Mu Zhantian.
The eyes were even undisciplined, but it happened that in such a gesture, it gave people a strong sense of pressure.
It was not until Mu Lan walked up to Mu Zhantian that he smiled softly and looked at Mu Zhantian with a sarcastic look in his eyes: “Lord Mu, tell me again what you just said.”
Mu Zhantian’s thin lips pursed, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes also followed more and more cold up, but did not follow Mu Lan’s words, to repeat the previous words, but stood sullenly.
And Mu Lan doesn’t mind.
She poked Mu Zhantian in the chest with her hand. Every word she said was very light, but no one could ignore it. “Lord Mu, let me remind you that even if Mu Zhihua is the emperor’s own Miss Yi, first of all, she is also a member of the Mu Mansion. Since she is a member of the Mu Mansion, her status is superior to others. We must also follow the rules of the Mu Mansion.
“Mu Lan.” Mu Zhantian’s words were almost squeezed out of his teeth.
“I’m not deaf. I can hear you clearly.” Mu Lan smiled coldly and stepped back again. “Besides, in this big week, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people.”. If the daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion doesn’t return home at night, is that another matter?
「……」
“Besides, in my opinion, the king of Yi County and Miss Yi are still concerned about the status of Prince Mu’s mansion. Otherwise, you two are so tough, why should you come back overnight and stay in the palace of Yi County?” Mu Lan has no intention of giving in at all. “The king of Yi County wants me to ask my father to come back and see how to judge this matter. If it’s not good enough, my grandmother will also be in the palace. I’m curious about how my grandmother will deal with this matter.”
The voice falls, Mu Lan has already sat back on the chair again, the attitude is still not hurried not slow, has not been bumped by the unpleasant. The
cup was refilled with tea.
She took a sip and put it aside, as if she didn’t care about the brother and sister standing in front of her. “This tea is cold,” she said to the housekeeper. “Bring hot water again.”
“Yes.” Chen butler answered and immediately retreated respectfully.
Only then did Mu Lan look at the two people in front of her: “Grandmother was still telling me this morning that this Zhihua had been clamoring to leave the palace for a long time. She didn’t want to let the palace see such a thing, and she didn’t want to take care of it any more. So I was responsible for everything. Since I didn’t agree, who gave Miss Yi the right?”
Mu Zhihua’s face was even more surprised. Every word of
Mu Lan’s words is reasonable, and Mu Zhantian can’t say a word.
Mu Zhantian also knew this, but because of his face, he could not pull down his face and soften his attitude, and finally he could only be deadlocked here. No one
even knows what Mulan is going to do next.
On the contrary, Mu Zhihua became particularly nervous in Mu Lan’s words, dragging Mu Zhantian’s clothes, fearing what Mu Lan would do to himself. When she left the mansion
today, she had already privately found Chen Zhirong’s most trusted doctor to feel her pulse, and then hurried to Yi Jun Wang Fu to tell Mu Zhantian news.
