Phoenix Nirvana
of Jealous Madness: The Road
to Glory and Favor of the Demon Queen of the Confused Country Lang Lang’s voice came. A
slave kneeling on the ground.
Li Shiyuan ignored it.
Mu Lan did not say much, quietly opened the curtain and got out of the car. As a result, Li Shiyuan’s movements were faster than Mu Lan’s. At the moment when Mu Lan opened the curtain, Li Shiyuan had already got up and clasped Mu Lan’s wrist.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and looked at Li Shiyuan. “Your Royal Highness?”
Li Shiyuan did not speak, just looked at Mu Lan, Mu Lan is also very quiet, as if waiting for Li Shiyuan to open his mouth.
Two people stayed in the car for a while, and then Li Shiyuan took the initiative to jump out of the carriage, is personally helped down Mu Lan, Mu Lan is not affectation, it is natural to put his hand into the hands of Li Shiyuan, out of the car.
Because Mu Lan saw the figure of Mu Zhihua.
Mu Lan smiled very lightly, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of sarcasm.
Li Shiyuan’s carriage is easy to recognize. In Kyoto, apart from the emperor, no one can be more ostentatious than Li Shiyuan, not to mention that the people of Prince Mu’s mansion are more familiar with Li Shiyuan’s carriage. Naturally, Li Shiyuan arrived in a hurry as soon as he arrived.
Li Shiyu is willing to cooperate, why should Mu Lan miss this opportunity.
She bowed her head and walked carefully, with her palm in the palm of Li Shiyuan, as if she were being held in the palm of Li Shiyuan.
Li Shiyuan was somewhat surprised by Mu Lan’s cooperation.
But Li Shiyuan also did not say what, smoothly helped Mu Lan down.
When Mulan stood firm, he said, “Mulan has thanked the prince.”
Li Shi-yuan said, “Do you want Ben Wang to take you in?”
“I dare not have your Royal Highness, Prince Lao.” Mu Lan is a light refusal, but Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyuan’s eyes did not move away. Mu Zhihua, who was standing
beside him, saw all this in his eyes and wanted to speak several times, but he could not find the right opportunity, or Li Shiyuan did not give Mu Zhihua any chance to speak at all.
Even Li Shiyuan’s eyes did not fall on Mu Zhihua’s body. How can
Mu Zhihua be reconciled, but in the face of such a situation, Mu Zhihua has no way at all. It is not easy to expect people to come, but this is the case.
“Your Highness” Mu Zhihua finally found a chance to speak.
But Li Shiyuan had already looked at Mu Lan: “The king has sent you back to the Snow Tower.”
Mu Lan smiled and said, “Your Highness, it seems that Miss Yi has something to say to you.”
She reminded Li Shiyuan, but when her eyes fell on Mu Zhihua, there was a bright provocation, and she was lazy to cover up.
Mu Zhihua’s face changed again and again.
She looked at Li Shiyuan pitifully, but Li Shiyuan did not mean to look at Mu Zhihua. He still looked at Mu Lan and said, “If you have something to say, you can wait. The king will send you back first.”
Mulan smiled and said, “Since your Highness said so, Mulan can only be respectful rather than obedient.”
Then Mu Lan nodded slightly and took the initiative to walk ahead, not too close to Li Shiyuan.
But compared to Mu Lan’s distance, Li Shiyuan took the initiative instead, followed Mu Lan, as if carefully care, all the way back to Mu Lan’s snow building.
Completely ignored the existence of Mu Zhihua.
Mu Zhihua was so angry that his face suddenly changed. The slaves who
followed him became cautious, fearing that they would be angry by Mu Zhihua if they were not careful. All the discerning people
present could see Li Shiyuan’s love for Mu Lan, and Mu Zhihua had completely fallen out of favor.
Everyone looked at each other and dared not say a word more.
Miss.. Let’s go in. Qiu Xiang called Mu Zhihua perturbed.
Qiu Xiang wants to hold Mu Zhihua, but the next second has been directly pushed away by Mu Zhihua, she stumbled, almost fell to the ground, but Qiu Xiang dare not neglect, immediately followed up.
The imperial concubine told her to take good care of Mu Zhihua and not to do anything out of line again.
But now the situation, Qiu Xiang is not sure.
She followed Mu Zhihua closely.
Looking at the place where Mu Zhihua was going, Qiu Xiang’s face changed, and that was the location of the Snow Tower.
Want to open the mouth to persuade, but Mu Zhihua’s gloomy but let Qiu Xiang can not say a word. The slaves in the palace saw the gentle side of Mu Zhi’s painting, and Qiu Xiang followed Mu Zhi’s painting all the year round, knowing too well how cruel it was to be so gentle.
Qiu Xiang’s face also followed more and more perturbed up.
……
Instead, Mu Lan let Li Shiyuan send himself back to the snow building, the whole process did not say a word more and Li Shiyuan, until Mu Lan stood at the door of the snow building.
But Li Shiyuan had no intention of leaving.
Mu Lan is quiet, lightly took a look at the lotus incense, the lotus incense immediately understood the meaning of Mu Lan, Fu Fu body, turned toward the snow building.
Li Shi-yuan raised his eyebrows and said, “Won’t you invite the king in?”
“Your Highness, it’s not a good thing to get word out that you’re alone in the same room.” Mu Lan refused, and then she looked at the long corridor not far away with a half-smile. “Not to mention, how many pairs of eyes are staring at Mu Lan in this palace? Mu Lan should not be so silly. At such a time, please ask the prince to sit in the Snow Tower for a while.”
Li Shiyuan couldn’t hear Mu Lan’s sarcasm. He stepped forward and pinched Mu Lan’s mandible. “What, are you worried about Miss Yi?” Unable to
say whether he was getting rid of the relationship with Mu Zhihua or something else, Li Shiyuan used the title of Mu Zhihua to call Mu Zhihua.
Mulan smiled and said, “Your Highness is oversensitive.” The
surface denial, does not represent Mu Lan’s concession, in her eyes does not have any joke meaning, just looks at Li Shiyuan like this.
But Mu Lan’s heart is also somewhat uncertain.
In the last life, Mu Lan’s memory of Li Shiyuan, this person’s character has a very gloomy and irascible side, as long as Li Shiyuan wants to do things, no one can stop it.
What’s more, under such circumstances.
One is the identity of Li Shiyuan, and the other is that Mu Hongyuan almost acquiesced that if Li Shiyuan could enter Luoxuelou, no matter what happened to them or not, they could be identified as cooked rice, and some things would become more natural. How could
Mu Lan let such a thing happen.
But Li Shiyuan didn’t speak.
His eyes were always on Mu Lan, and when Mu Lan hesitated about how to open his mouth, Li Shiyuan unexpectedly nodded his head on his own initiative: “It’s getting late. Go to bed early.”
Mu Lan was a little surprised.
But Mu Lan did not say much, politely smiled at Li Shiyuan, and did not stay in front of Li Shiyuan, but quickly turned around and walked toward the house.
Li Shiyuan has been watching Mu Lan’s figure disappear in the snow building, and then turned to leave. Mu Zhihua, who
had been waiting for Li Shiyuan at the corner of the corridor, saw Li Shiyuan turning back alone. He stepped forward and stopped Li Shiyuan.
Li Shiyuan frowned slightly, but the impatience in his face was obvious.
Mu Zhihua used to be Li Shiyuan’s favorite woman, but now, Li Shiyuan seems to be only impatient when he sees Mu Zhihua.
I saw the new people laugh, but I didn’t see the old people cry. How could
Mu Chih-hua not see this? With red eyes, she pitifully walked up to Li Shi-yuan and said, “Your Highness.”
“What’s up?” Li Shiyuan stood with his hands on his back, looking at Mu Zhihua, and did not mean to hold Mu Zhihua. Compared
with the initial tenderness, Li Shiyuan can now be described as ruthless.
Mu Chih-hua was even more aggrieved. His voice was tinged with sobs, and his voice was very low: “Chih-hua wants to find Your Highness. I wonder if Your Highness is free?” No matter how close
Mu Zhihua and Li Shiyuan were, he was a girl who had not left the cabinet after all. When he said such an active invitation, Mu Zhihua was even more at a loss.
“It’s getting late, and it’s not appropriate for Ben Wang to go to Miss Yi’s house.” Li Shiyuan refused coldly.
Before that, even do not need Mu Zhihua can not say, a look, two people can be affectionate, but now, Mu Zhihua has made it clear, Li Shiyuan is very direct choice to refuse.
Mu Zhihua lost face.
But around also many Mu Wangfu’s slave, sees such picture, is in the heart is clear.
Mu Zhihua’s grievance at this moment was completely unbearable: “Your Highness..”
Her hand has taken the initiative to entangle Li Shiyu, onion white small hand tightly grasping Li Shiyuan’s hand, how all refused to let go.
“Your Highness, don’t you want to know the painting?” Mu Chih-hua’s voice was very low and full of tears. “Can’t you stay with Chih-hua?”? What’s so good about Mulan? Why can she easily grab all your Highness’s attention? The impatience in
Li Shiyuanmei’s eyes also became more and more obvious, and he did not want to push Mu Zhihua away.
Mu Chih-hua, however, refused to let go: “Just think of Chih-hua as begging you. Will you stay with Chih-hua?”? You haven’t had a good talk with Chih-hua for a long time.
Mu Zhihua is so humble that he can’t be more humble.
Her eyes were red like walnuts, shaking her head desperately, and the pear blossoms were tearful.
Any man would be thrilled to see it. When
Li Shi-yuan saw this, his tone softened, but he didn’t mean to compromise: “Chou Hsiang, take your young lady back.”
“Yes.” Qiu Xiang did not dare to disobey and immediately answered.
She stepped forward and put her arm around Mu Zhihua. “Miss, go back first.”
Mu Chih-hua refuses to leave. Li Shi-yuan looks at Mu Chih-hua and says, “My king hates women who make trouble out of nothing.”
This is already a warning.
Mu Chih-hua naturally knew that looking at Li Shi-yuan’s sullen face again, she didn’t dare to do it again. She could only say with grievance, “Your Highness, Chih-hua has no other meaning.”. Chih-hua has retired first.
She was blessed and paid her respects.
Then Mu Zhihua, with the help of Qiu Xiang, walked towards the East Building.
Li Shiyuan did not look at Mu Zhihua and quickly walked out of Mu Wang Fu.
And this scene, the whole process falls in the eyes of Mu Zhihua, in her position, she can clearly see the scene that happened in the corridor.
Mu Lan chuckled, but it was very sarcastic.
Mu Zhihua probably did not expect that one day he would be reduced to such a situation. What she wanted
most was robbed by a person she hated most, and the man who once cared about her most is now just treating her coldly.
After all, in the last life, Li Shiyuan’s love for Mu Zhi’s paintings was obvious.
Although Mu Lan died, but Mu Lan is very clear to know, step by step to force themselves to death, is nothing more than to make room for Mu Zhi painting, all she can use up, there is no meaning.
And now
the geomantic omen will turn around after all.
But this kind of victory, does not let Mu Lan have any pleasure, her eyes are always light.
It was Hexiang who stuck out her tongue and said, “Your Royal Highness, listen to the heartless.”. When he was spoiling the second young lady, he was really spoiling her. At that time, no one in the palace dared to shout at the second young lady. Even people in the palace had to be courteous when they saw the second young lady. Now the prince is saying that he will change his face.
There is a feeling of being very sad.
Mu Lan listens to the words of the lotus fragrance, just smiled, did not say anything, very quiet closed the window, just looked at the lotus fragrance.
“Young lady, the maidservant has boiled the water for you. Go to take a bath and sleep for a while.” Hexiang said quickly.
Mu Lan thought for a moment: “Good.”. Later, if someone comes to the Snow Fall Building, don’t refuse. Let her wait outside, and I’ll go out naturally after I’ve taken a bath.
“Who would come here at this hour?” Hexiang froze.
But soon the lotus fragrance did not say much, hurried out, Mu Lan did not explain. Naturally, people who are not willing to come will come
tonight.
Mu Lan is waiting.
She went to the back of the screen, carefully looked around the situation, then took off her clothes, soaked herself in the barrel, the warm temperature came, which let Mu Lan’s body cool slightly dissipated.
And the breath of Li Shiyuan’s body, also along with the running water, gradually no longer smell.
Mu Lan quietly looked at the reflection of the face in the water, always quiet and silent, occasionally slender fingers fluctuating water, water sliding, some bored look.
But very lazy.
…… Not long
after Hexiang carefully managed the door, she stood quietly outside the door waiting for Mu Lan’s summons, and she had already seen Mu Zhihua coming in from outside the Snow Tower.
Xiaowu followed behind, twisting his eyebrows, but did not dare to draw a heavy hand on Mu Zhi, and then looked at the lotus fragrance.
“The maidservant has seen Miss Yi. Why did Miss Yi come to Luoxuelou so late?”
“I’m looking for Mulan.” Mu Zhihua looked at the lotus fragrance sullenly.
Qiu Xiang frowned and tried to persuade Mu Zhihua, but she dared not open her mouth.
Mu Zhihua almost after Li Shiyuan turned around and went out of Mu Wangfu, she immediately turned back to Luoxue Lou, which made Qiu Xiang tremble with fear.
He Xiang quickly blessed her body and said, “The maidservant has seen the second young lady.”
She was a little surprised at Mu Lan’s divine calculation, but Hexiang did not expect that the person who would come to Mu Lan would be Mu Zhihua, she thought that tonight, with Mu Zhihua’s pride and self-esteem, she would not allow herself to do these things again.
Apparently, Hexiang was surprised.
“Go and ask Mulan to come out.” Mu Zhihua unceremoniously pushed away the lotus fragrance.
He Xiang stumbled and stopped at the door of the room. “Second young lady, the eldest young lady is taking a bath.”. She told the maidservant that if someone came to look for the young lady, she would ask her to wait. If you rush in like this, I’m afraid the young lady will be angry.
Hexiang finished quickly.
Mu Chih-hua looks sullenly at Hexiang. Without thinking, he pushes Hexiang away: “I want to see Mu Lan right now.”
He Xiang, however, had no intention of getting out of the way: “The eldest lady has told you, and naturally the maidservant can’t let you in.”
But when Hexiang’s words fell down, Xiao Wu came up with a cold face and said, “Please don’t embarrass the slaves. The slaves are just following orders.”. If the second young lady must see the eldest young lady, she can only wait here according to the eldest young lady’s orders. The young lady will see you when she has taken a bath.
All right, you dog minions, are you angry with Miss Ben at one go, aren’t you? All right, I’ll see how long Mulan can be proud, and how long you can be proud. Mu Zhihua was so angry that he could not say anything.
But Hexiang and Xiaowu were so clever that they didn’t say a word. They just stood respectfully at the door of the house.
Mu Zhihua seemed to have a contest with Mu Lan and refused to leave.
She knew that Mu Lan was intentional, but compared with Mu Lan’s intention, Mu Zhihua wanted to find Mu Lan’s theory more.
Qiu Xiang looked at Mu Zhihua almost in despair, but in the end she did not dare to say more. It was
at least half an hour before Mu Lan’s languid voice came from inside the Snow Tower: “He Xiang, come in.”
“Yes.” He Xiang answered.
Soon, Hexiang walked towards the house, Mu Zhihua did not want to follow up, but was stopped by Xiaowu, Xiaowu looked at Mu Zhihua with an expressionless face.
Mu Zhihua was exasperated, but there was nothing he could do.
……
“Miss.” He Xiang pushed the door and entered, only to find that Mu Lan had already got up, and the water in the barrel was cold.
Mulan smoothed her long hair and tied it into a bun. Then she said lightly, “Let her come in.”
He Xiang was a little worried: “Miss, the maidservant is afraid of the second Miss.”
After all, when did Mu Zhihua suffer such a grievance.
If you really make trouble, the person in charge of the palace or Chen Zhirong, plus this time point, the old lady has already fallen asleep, Wang Ye is not at home, Chen Zhirong to do what, really no one can stop.
Mu Lan smiled and said, “She doesn’t dare.”. Let her come in.
“Yes.” He Xiang didn’t say anything and hurried out.
Mu Lan simply put on a big sleeve shirt, and then quietly turned over the book, and did not appear to be any uncalm because of the upcoming Mu Zhi painting. Not long
after Hexiang went out, Mu Zhihua had already pushed the door and entered. The
anger is overwhelming.
This kind of Mu Zhi painting is in sharp contrast to Mu Lan.
One is angry, the other is calm.
“Mu Lan.” Mu Zhihua almost roared out.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Zhihua.
Obviously does not have any hair accessories, a face is also plain, but it can be bright people can not move their eyes, because the bath, the face is still slightly red.
Just like a flower that has been watered, people can’t move their eyes.
This kind of Mu Lan, let Mu Zhihua’s jealousy become more and more obvious.
Mu Zhihua did not want to go in the direction of Mu Lan, and raised his hand to give Mu Lan a slap in the face. With a cold face,
Mu Lan said, “Mu Zhihua, what kind of identity are you using to slap me?”. The rightful Crown Princess? Or the second lady of Prince Mu’s mansion? Or is it something else?
She walked toward Mu Zhihua without fear: “As long as you can give a reasonable reason, then I will accept this slap.” Then Mulan paused. “If you can’t say it, then don’t blame me for being rude if you make trouble at the Snow Tower.”
Mu Zhihua was somewhat frightened by Mu Lan.
But in front of Mu Lan, Mu Zhihua did not want to give in.
Mu Chih-hua, are you very proud? Do you think the crown princess is yours? Mu Zhihua, with a cold face, almost shouted out at Mu Lan word by word. The elegance and calmness of the
past have long disappeared.
The rest was an almost frenzied roar. Who
do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to seduce the prince? Mu Zhihua was a little hysterical.
The next moment, the hand mercilessly toward Mu Lan’s face hit the past. How could
Mu Lan give Mu Zhihua such a chance.
Ugly words she has said before, Mu Zhihua is still taking the initiative to provoke themselves, Mu Lan naturally can not turn a blind eye, besides, this is Mu Zhihua initiative to send to the door. Why should
she be polite.
“Ah!” Mu Zhihua screamed.
Because of the strength of Mu Lan, Mu Zhihua has fallen to the ground, his cheeks are completely swollen, the corners of his mouth are even slightly bloodshot, and his white skin is covered with terrible blue.
She covered her face and looked at Mulan in disbelief.
“Mu Chih-hua, how much weight do you have? Do you really think I won’t do anything to you?” Mu Lan opened his mouth mercilessly and looked down at Mu Zhihua.
In such a gaze, Mu Zhihua had a feeling of fear.
She took an unconscious step back.
And Mu Lan has half squatted down.
Long hair slightly across the skin of Mu Zhihua, good-looking eyebrows and eyes are no longer tender, but with cruel and ruthless. With his
slender fingers pinching Mu Chi-hua’s chin, every word was spoken with extraordinary clarity, and word by word came to Mu Chi-hua’s ears: “Mu Chi-hua, won’t you be too cheap if you do this?”
“Mulan, you..” Mu Zhihua dared not resist.
“Don’t you think you’re making a fool of yourself by shouting at me in the middle of the night for the sake of a man?”
Mu Lan pressed his voice and asked Mu Zhihua sarcastically.
Mu Zhihua’s breathing became more and more cramped, and she even felt that her mandible would be pinched off by Mu Lan.
But Mu Lan didn’t give Mu Chih-hwa any chance to refute him: “If I were you, I wouldn’t be shouting at the Snow Tower. Not to mention the people in the Mu Mansion, even the people in this palace, and even the people in Kyoto, all know who is in favor and in power now.”
Mu Zhihua bit his lower lip to death.
Mu Lan smiled coldly, then loosened Mu Zhihua, stood up and looked down at him:
Mu Chih-hua, while I’m in a good mood, get out of here at once. Once I’m in a bad mood, you know, maybe the wind blows on my pillow, and you can’t keep your position as a side concubine.
Mu Zhihua’s face turned completely white.
But there is no way to take Mu Lan.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Zhihua. “Miss Yi, do you like to stay with me, or are you not going to leave?” The marching orders between the
lines could not have been more obvious.
In the palm of Mu Lan, Mu Zhihua gradually calmed down.
She took a deep breath.
Mu Lan took one look and then said, “He Xiang, let Qiu Xiang come in and take the second young lady back.”
“Yes.” He Xiang answered and hurried out of the house.
Mu Zhihua stood up in a mess. Although there was fear in his eyebrows and eyes, it was more sinister: “Mu Lan, don’t be complacent too early. The person who laughs last is the final victory.”. I will wait, wait to see you fall from a high place.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows.
“What you owe me, I’ll get it back.” What Mu Zhihua said was hysterical.
“Wait and see.” Mu Lan seemed to smile.
When Mu Zhihua finally stood firm, Mu Lan suddenly went to Mu Zhihua, and Mu Zhihua stumbled, apparently frightened.
Mulan smiled. “What are you afraid of?”
Mu Zhihua did not speak.
“Mu Chi-hua,” Mu Lan’s voice was suddenly very low, almost close to Mu Chi-hua’s ear, and every word was very clear. “What do you want to exchange for my position as Crown Princess?”
Mu Zhihua’s face changed and he looked at Mu Lan in amazement.
But Mu Lan had already pulled away from Mu Zhihua. Qiu Xiang hurried in. Mu Lan glanced coldly: “Take your master back.”
“Yes.” Qiu Xiang was frightened by Mu Lan and answered repeatedly.
She quickly picked up Mu Zhihua and hurried with Mu Zhihua to the outside of the Snow Tower.
Mu Lan stood quietly, watching the master and servant leave, and then turned around as if nothing had happened, and the usual peace was restored in the snow building.
Lotus incense also did not say much, wait for Mu Lan to go to bed, then blew out the candlelight, quietly retreated out. Inside
Prince Mu’s mansion, it was silent.
…… Suddenly, there was a burst of screams from the quiet Mu Wangfu
at night
.
The voice came from the direction of the East Building.
Such a scream instantly made the guards of Prince Mu’s mansion rush towards the position of the East Tower.
There is Chen Zhirong and Mu Zhihua’s courtyard, even if Mu Hongyuan returned to the palace, is also living there, naturally, the guards dare not have any neglect.
Prince Mu’s mansion suddenly began to make a scene.
[Catch the Assassin] The sound is heard all the time. Mu Lan
in the snow building has also been awakened.
Hexiang rushed into the house for the first time, fearing that something would happen to Mulan. When she saw Mulan getting up on the bed safe and sound, Hexiang was relieved. The fear of the
previous times is still fresh in the memory of the lotus fragrance.
“I’m glad you’re all right, young lady.” Hexiang stepped forward quickly.
Instead, Mu Lan smiled and pinched Hexiang’s face. “Hexiang, do I look so unlucky?”? Every time something goes wrong, it’s me?
“Not at all.” He Xiang immediately shook her head. “The young lady is lucky. She’s sure to be safe and sound.”
Mu Lan snorted.
Then Hexiang twisted her eyebrows and said, “Is it true that something happened in the East Building?”? The maidservant looked at the guards and ran towards the East Tower. Over there is the place where the imperial concubine lives. Apart from the ancestral temple, no one really dares to make trouble in the East Building. Who could this be! “
Go and have a look.” Mu Lan stood up. There was a hint of cunning in
her eyes.
He Xiang shook her head unapprovingly and said, “Young lady, don’t go. If anything really happens, maybe the imperial concubine will blame you.”
“If you don’t go, you’ll be blamed.” Mulan had hurriedly put on a thick shawl, as if he had just been awakened. “There’s been such a big noise in the East Building, not to mention you and me. Even the old lady would have gone there in person.”
As he said, Mu Lan had already walked out of the Snow Tower: “If we don’t go, then people will suspect us.”
He Xiang seemed to understand and nodded, but when he saw Mu Lan out of the building, he Xiang did not dare to neglect, and immediately followed him.
Mu Lan’s pace is very fast, the lotus fragrance follows some laboriously.
When Mu Lan arrived, there was already a lot of noise in the East Building.
The old lady woke up with a start. With Mammy Li’s support, she hurried over from the ancestral temple and said, “What’s going on? It’s such a noisy night.” Although
the old lady’s mental state has not been very good during this period of time, the body is also very weak, but when really angry, the old lady in the palace of dignity but no one dare to resist.
Her voice was not loud, but it made the people in the East Building quiet in an instant.
Mu Lan stood quietly and walked naturally in the direction of Wang Xueshuang. “Grandmother, don’t get angry at night. Ask the slaves and you’ll know what happened.”
And the slaves of the East Building, you look at me, I look at you, who dare not say a word, Qi Qi lowered his head.
But the screams in the East Building rose and fell one after another, even with a hint of panic.
Wang Hsueh-shuang’s brows twisted: “Is this the side concubine?”
“Tell me about the old lady. It’s the imperial concubine.” The minions dare not hide it.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows, did not speak, and stood quietly looking at the chaos in front of him.
When the slave’s voice fell, Mu Zhihua had already run out of the East Building, apparently looking more and more discomfited, his hair was scratched, and there were a few more traces of being scratched on his face. The
blood oozed out, but it covered the cheek that had been hit by Mulan earlier.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows.
He Xiang looked more and more surprised and asked in a low voice, “Young lady, what happened to the East Building?”? Did you hit a ghost?
“I don’t know.” Mu Lan’s face did not change color.
He Xiang looked at Mu Lan’s face without changing color and really shivered: “Young lady, don’t frighten the maidservant.”
“Didn’t you say that?” Mulan smiled and asked Hexiang, “Do you dare to say, but don’t you dare to admit it?”
He Xiang: “… …” Now
, Hexiang was silent.
And Mu Lan was already walking in the direction of Wang Hsueh-shuang. As he walked, he explained, “Follow me.”
He Xiang did not dare to hesitate and immediately followed Mu Lan. Wang Hsueh-shuang, supported by Mam
my Li, walked into Mu Chih-hua: “What on earth happened? Chih-hua, why did you become like this?”
Mu Lan also asked softly, “Miss Yi, are you here at night?”
Mu Zhihua could hear the gloating in Mu Lan’s tone, and instantly looked at Mu Lan. Her eyes became more and more sinister: “Mu Lan, do you think it was you, did you do these things?”
“Me?” Mu Lan twisted her eyebrows innocently. “Miss Yi, there are some things you can say, but there are some things you can’t say. There’s an accident in the East Building. I’m in the Snow Building. What can I make the East Building become?”? Besides, in the long time I’ve been back at Prince Mu’s Mansion, I’ve never taken the initiative to go near the East Building.
Said Mu Lan’s voice also appeared to be very aggrieved: “So, Miss Yi, can you tell me, how did I do all this in the East Building?”? Besides, there are the most bodyguards here in the East Building. What have I really done? Are these bodyguards letting me run amok?
Mu Lan asked Mu Zhihua lightly.
“You must have done something to my mother. Otherwise, how could my mother become like this? It must be you, you vicious woman.”
“What did I do to the concubine?” Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.
Mu Zhihua has come to Mu Lan and wants to catch the face of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan seemed to be surprised: “Miss Yi, you..” “Miss Yi, please respect yourself,” said
Xiao Wu quickly. Seeing this scene in her eyes,
Wang Xueshuang snapped, “Mu Zhihua, what are you doing?”! How can you be rude to your sister. According to what you say, if something happens to the side concubine, should I, an old woman, also be held responsible?
“Grandmother” Mu Chih-hua desperately shakes her head. “Chih-hua doesn’t mean that.”
“What the hell is going on?” Wang Hsueh-shuang frowns. “You’re giving me a headache. Where are the minions around Chih-jung?”
Mu Zhihua’s face changed again.
This period of time do not know why, Chen Zhirong seems to lose his mind like crazy.
Although it seems normal most of the time, the symptoms of such loss of mind are becoming more and more obvious.
Before the Hungry Ghost Festival, Chen Zhirong was just occasionally in a trance, and her expression looked as if she had been frightened. When she was in the palace, Chen Zhirong almost had an accident, but she was discovered by Mu Zhihua in time, so there was no accident.
Now, everything has become a little out of control.
Especially after nightfall, Chen Zhirong had already fallen asleep, but she would suddenly wake up, scream, and start throwing everything in the house that could be thrown.
Today, Mammy, who had been following Chen Zhirong all the year round, did not notice it, and only then did she get out of control and bring people over.
Today, Chen Zhirong has even grabbed the flowers of Mu Zhihua who came in a hurry.
It was as if Mu Zhihua had been treated as an enemy.
So now Wang Xueshuang suddenly asked, Mu Zhihua did not know how to answer these things.
Wang Xueshuang in Mu Zhihua’s evasive words, has also seen something wrong, she did not stay here, supported by Mammy Li, directly toward the East Building.
Mu Lan also followed to go in.
Mu Zhihua came to his senses and hurried in.
But it was too late.
The east building was a mess, the porcelain was broken all over the floor, and the candlestick fell down.
Chen Zhirong’s face was pale, her hair was in a mess, her clothes were scattered, and she curled up on the ground, screaming and sobbing from time to time, as if she had been frightened. The Mammy on
one side was very anxious. When she
saw Wang Hsueh-shuang come in, Mammy changed her face and said, “I’ve seen the old lady.”
“What’s going on?” Wang Xueshuang twisted his eyebrows and asked.
Mammy, you look at me, I look at you, half a day of hemming and hawing did not say a word.
On the contrary, Mu Lan, who had always been quiet, said lightly, “Grandmother, maybe the imperial concubine was frightened and had a nightmare, so she reacted like this. If a person is suddenly awakened in his sleep, he may do something that he can’t control.”
Mulan’s voice was the calmest of all, as if telling an obvious fact.
On the contrary, such a voice, in the quiet night, is penetrating and convincing.
Wang Hsueh-shuang twisted her eyebrows and said, “The side concubine is having a nightmare.”
Chen Zhirong also seems to have recovered from the previous panic and absence, and then looked at the chaos in front of him, and appeared in front of Wang Xueshuang and Mu Lan, his face more white brush.
But Chen Chih-jung, after all, was also a person who had seen the world, and soon came to her senses: “Chih-jung disturbed Niang, and it was Chih-jung who had a nightmare.”. These days, Chih-jung has been restless, and she asks her mother to forgive her.
She knelt down and honestly admitted her mistake.
Wang Xueshuang looked at Chen Zhirong, moved his lips, and finally said nothing.
Before the Hungry Ghost Festival happened in the palace, so now, Wang Xueshuang is very natural to associate this matter with Chen Zhirong woke up in a dream.
After all, Chen Zhirong thought that Mu Zhihua could marry into the East Palace, but suddenly something like this happened.
How can Chen Zhirong be reconciled.
Naturally, her anxiety is self-evident.
“All right, since it’s a nightmare, it’s all right.” Wang Hsueh-shuang nodded, but didn’t say anything more. “Call the doctor tomorrow and prescribe some medicine to calm the nerves.”
“Chih-jung thanks Niang for her concern.” Chen Zhirong said respectfully.
Wang Hsueh-shuang didn’t say anything, but turned to Mammy Li and said, “Mammy Li, help me back. My head is hurting again.”
“Yes.” Mammy Li immediately supported Wang Xueshuang and walked out of the East Building.
Mu Lan looked at Wang Hsueh-shuang with a hint of concern in her eyes: “Grandmother, will Mu Lan give you a massage so that you can go to sleep earlier?”
No, it’s not good for you to walk out in such thin clothes at night in case you catch a cold. Mammy Li will take good care of me. Hurry up and go back to rest. Wang Xueshuang looked at Mu Lan lovingly. “Good,” said
Mu Lanfu, “then tomorrow morning, Lan’er will pay her respects to her grandmother.”
Wang Xueshuang nodded.
Soon, Wang Xueshuang walked out of the East Building.
Mu Lan did not immediately follow up, but stood in place, watching Wang Xueshuang walk away, then turned around, looking at the East Building inside a mess.
Her eyes could not have been calmer: “Then Mu Lan will not disturb the side of the imperial concubine.”. The empress has a good rest.
The rest of the words, Mu Lan did not say much.
Mu Zhihua in Mu Lan’s provocation, do not want to stand up, but Chen Zhirong’s action is faster, has stopped Mu Zhihua. When
she looked at Mulan again, she became more and more sober: “Mulan, you have worked hard tonight.”
“Where is the word of the side imperial concubine?” Mu Lan seemed to smile. “I just heard it, so I hurried over to have a look. If I don’t come, I don’t know if this hat will be put on Mu Lan. Mu Lan can’t afford it.” The
irony of this is the words and deeds of Mu Zhihua before.
Chen Chih-jung, however, said calmly, “Chih-hua is too young to understand. If you have offended Chih-hua, please don’t haggle with him.”
“Well, Miss Yi is really quite young.” Mu Lan looked at Chen Zhirong with a smile.
Chen Zhirong has been helped up by Mammy.
She can go to the present, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how can not hear the irony in Mu Lan’s words, but now they fall into the downwind, it is impossible to make public, can only be a man with his head down.
Chen Zhirong did not answer.
Mu Lan also did not say what, turn round to take lotus fragrance to also leave east building.
Seeing Mu Lan leave, Mu Zhihua looked at Chen Zhirong and said, “Mother, it must be Mu Lan who did this.”
Chen Zhirong ignored Mu Zhihua’s guess.
She stood, the coldness in her eyebrows and eyes became more and more obvious, so gloomy that Mu Zhihua was startled and did not dare to open his mouth again.
But Chen Zhirong is very clear, as if from the beginning of Mu Lan’s return to Mu Wang Fu, he dreamed of the late princess more and more.
From the first sight of Mu Lan, the consternation in Chen’s eyes could not be hidden.
Then, as long as the dead of night, Chen Zhirong closed his eyes, as if he could see Luo Xue bleeding, constantly appeared in front of him, asking for his life.
At first, it was just an illusion, but tonight, it was clearly in a dream, but it really made Chen Zhirong shudder.
Even her neck seemed to be really stuck and she couldn’t breathe at all.
Sometimes not only at night, in broad daylight, she can hallucinate, but such hallucinations are far less frightening than at night.
Tonight’s matter, is only the first offense, if comes several times again, I am afraid
Chen Zhirong could not help but hit a shiver.
“Niang” Mu Chih-hua called Chen Chih-jung, who was in a trance, and her expression was not calm.
Chen Chih-jung quickly came to her senses and looked at Mu Chih-hua: “Chih-hua, you must remember Niang’s words. No matter what means you use, you must get pregnant as soon as possible. At the beginning of next month, the empress will let me enter the palace. I will take you with me. I tell you..”
Chen Zhirong whispered in Mu Zhihua’s ear.
Mu Zhihua nodded repeatedly. After
that, Chen Chih-jung sat down exhausted. Mu Chih-hwa looked at Chen Chih-jung, and his voice was full of ferocity: “Mother, this Mu Lan really can’t stay. I think Mu Lan will make trouble sooner or later.” Naturally
, you can’t stay. But now I can’t move with you. Even the prince is on Mulan’s side. If something really goes wrong, none of us can get away. Chen Chih-jung said calmly, “If you hold back until the talent show, then she can only enter the palace alone, so naturally there will be a way out.”
Mu Zhihua is somewhat unwilling.
“Zhihua, I swear to my mother, don’t do anything rashly during this time.” Chen Chih-jung pressed Mu Chih-hua. “Mother has only two children, you and Zhan Tien. None of you can have an accident.” After saying
these words, Chen Zhirong seemed to have exhausted all her strength. With a wave of her hand,
she said, “Mother is tired. Hurry up and get some rest.”
“Mother, I will accompany you.” Mu Zhihua followed Chen Zhirong very much.
No. Let the slaves keep their mouths shut about what has happened tonight. Chen Chih-jung explained word for word, “If anyone goes out and says one more word, they will be killed.”
“Yes, mother, I know.” Mu Zhihua nodded repeatedly.
After that, Mu Zhihua left Chen Zhirong’s room.
Chen Zhirong seemed to be hollowed out, panting, and then lying down, Luo Xue did not appear in Chen Zhirong’s dream, but the feeling of fear, but always pestered Chen Zhirong.
She suddenly sat up again and went to the bronze mirror. In the bronze mirror, Chen Zhirong saw the blue marks on her neck, as if she had really been pinched by a fierce ghost.
Chen Zhirong is no longer sleepy.
She looked numbly at the position
of the window edge, Luo Xue, did you come back to ask for your life?
I can send you to hell, and I won’t let you come back and ruin my business.
Chen Zhirong’s eyes became more and more cold.
……
Mu Lan took the lotus fragrance back to the snow building, after Mu Lan watched the lotus fragrance into his room, Mu Lan quietly turned out from the window, quickly left from the snow building, hurried toward the south building of Mu Wang Fu. The guards in the
south building are obviously less than those in the east building, and the long corridor is particularly quiet.
But Mu Lan still appears to be much more careful.
In the most remote courtyard of the South Tower, Mulan stopped.
She just glanced at her surroundings, and then walked quickly into the courtyard, silent, as if no one had ever come.
“Young lady.” Suddenly, a gentle female voice came, and soon, a slender figure came out from behind the curtain.
Mulan quietly looked over and said, “Fourth Lady.”
“You don’t have to call me the Fourth Lady, just call me Ji Niang.” Ji Niang shook her head and said quietly.
Mu Lan hum: “This period of time, Ji Niang hard.”
“No, as long as the eldest lady remembers her promise to me.” Ji Niang lightly reminded Mu Lan.
Mu Lan smiled, quietly standing in the room, looking at Ji Niang, Ji Niang also did not avoid Mu Lan’s eyes.
Mu Lan is very clear, in fact, and Ji Niang, whether it is the people of Mu Wang Fu or outside people will not think that they will have private contact.
Even at the time of this incident, Mu Lan did not think that he and Ji Niang would have any contact.
In the last life, Mu Lan did not have much impression of Ji Niang, but felt that she was a poor person.
Married to Mu Hongyuan for many years, but did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, in the palace of Mu’s position will not be much better than those powerful slaves, even when Ji Niang saw the people around Wang Xueshuang, she had to pay her respects, rather than other side to pay her respects.
But Ji Niang was indifferent by nature, never asked anything about the palace, never had any ambition, plus no children, and Mu Hongyuan was not favored, so for Mu Wangfu, it was just one more person.
Also for Chen Zhirong, there is no threat.
Until Mu Lan left the palace, Ji Niang was safe and sound in the palace.
Later, Mu Lan had never seen Ji Niang, and would not know what had happened in the palace.
And this life, Ji Niang really let Mu Lan feel surprised.
Chen Zhirong to Mu Lan’s vigilance, Mu Lan is impossible to contact Chen Zhirong, but Chen Zhirong to Ji Niang did not have any vigilance, such a long time, Ji Niang is low-key to the dust, for Chen Zhirong is also obedient. In
a sense, after the death of Luo Xue, three rooms have a son and a daughter, Ji Niang instead became Chen Zhirong’s person.
Therefore, Chen Zhirong also trusts Ji Niang.
Just when Mu Lan was thinking about who could do this in the palace, the safest time, Ji Niang unexpectedly came to the snow building in the middle of the night and took the initiative to find Mu Lan.
Mu Lan did not deny that he was vigilant when he saw Ji Niang.
But Ji Niang came straight to the point and said her purpose and requirements.
She can help Mu Lan, no matter what, but she has only one request, to help her leave Mu Wang Fu, the rest of the words, Ji Niang did not say again.
Mu Lan naturally could not believe what Ji Niang said, especially under the relationship between Ji Niang and Chen Zhirong.
Only in Ji Niang’s eyes, Mu Lan believed it.
So to Chen Zhirong drug this matter, Mu Lan handed over to Ji Niang’s hand, go out to explain Ji Niang how to use medicine, Mu Lan and Ji Niang did not say a word more.
It’s just a hunch.
It’s like when you see everything after your rebirth, it becomes much clearer and brighter.
And in Ji Niang’s eyes, Mu Lan saw is indifferent, indifferent as if all of them are not moving in the heart, not moving in the feelings.
Most importantly, Mu Lan saw slight traces of transfiguration on Ji Niang’s face.
Very profound transfiguration, if not proficient, absolutely impossible to achieve such a point, not a large area of change in their appearance, just through a simple adjustment, so that they look very different from the original appearance.
This let Mu Lan finally put his heart at ease.
And indeed, Ji Niang is in accordance with Mu Lan’s command, step by step. During
this period, there was no mistake.
As for the process, Mu Lan did not ask.
What’s more, if Ji Niang is really disloyal, Mu Lan is not worried, because she has plenty of ways to get herself out of this matter.
After all, in everyone’s eyes, she and Ji Niang never knew each other.
“Young lady, did you come to me late at night on business?” Ji Niang saw that Mu Lan did not open her mouth, and then quietly broke the silence. With a hum,
Mu Lan handed over today’s medicine to Ji Niang. “This is the medicine for ten days.”
“Yes.” Ji Niang didn’t ask much.
Ji Niang, aren’t you curious about what I asked you to do? Aren’t you afraid that one day you’ll get burned? Mu Lan watched Ji Niang accept the medicine and opened her mouth lightly.
Ji Niang, on the other hand, was not impatient. Then she looked at Mu Lan and said, “First, I believe that the eldest lady is a person who keeps her word. Second, if the concubine wants to fight with the eldest lady, she should not have enough paragraphs. If the eldest lady can get away, naturally I can get away, too.” Ji Niang said
this directly, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes for a moment.
Mu Lan chuckled, “Ji Niang has confidence in me.”. Ji Niang is not afraid that one day, if I can’t even protect myself, I won’t be able to send you out of the palace.
“Young lady, you won’t.” Ji Niang is still sure, but looking at Mu Lan’s eyes without a trace of a joke.
Mu Lan didn’t say anything.
But Mu Lan looked at Ji Niang’s eyes and did not move away. After a moment of silence, Mu Lan said lightly, “Ji Niang, you are in the palace. Compared with the three rooms, you are the safest person.”. Why did you suddenly want to help me, and why did you leave the palace?
This question, however, quieted Ji Niang. Then she looked at Mu Lan and said, “Why did the young lady go back to the mansion and make all this trouble?”
“Revenge.” Mu Lan said directly, and did not mean to dodge. With a hum,
Ji Niang quietly looked at Mu Lan and said, “Young lady, if you enter the palace in the future, you still have to be very careful.”
“I will.” Mu Lan said quietly.
In the eyes of Mu Lan at the moment, Ji Niang’s face seems to be covered with a thick layer of fog, people simply can not distinguish her ideas, but for Mu Lan, she did not mean to get to the bottom.
She nodded and turned to leave the South Tower, just as she had come before. When
Mu Lan reached the door, Ji Niang suddenly said, “Only when I leave the palace can I go to find my son openly.”
Mu Lan suddenly looked back and looked at Ji Niang.
“I’ve never seen him before. After I gave birth to him, he was taken away.”. Until I married into Prince Mu’s mansion, I had never seen it. I just want to find him.
This answer, let Mu Lan be amazed.
“I will be satisfied to see him in my lifetime.” When Ji Niang talked about her own son, her face was suffused with soft light, which was maternal love.
Mu Lan did not speak, slightly biting his lips, the answer, beyond Mu Lan’s expectations.
She never thought that Ji Niang had already had a son before she married to Mu Wang Fu? Mu Hongyuan should not know, Mu Hongyuan’s status, absolutely not allowed to marry an unclean woman.
Even a concubine, it’s impossible.
These things are not easy to hide.
But Ji Niang did it.
Mu Lan sank, but did not say anything, after all, they have been reborn, in her view, there is nothing that can not happen.
She nodded and asked no more questions.
It was Ji Niang who looked at Mu Lan and hesitated to speak.
Mu Lan seemed to understand what Ji Niang was thinking: “Ji Niang, if my ability permits, I will help you find your son.”. But I can’t promise.
As Mu Lan’s voice fell, Ji Niang knelt down and said, “Ji Niang has thanked the eldest lady.”
Mu Lan bent down to pick up Ji Niang. “You’re welcome, Ji Niang.”. If it’s all right, I’ll take a step. After all, it’s not appropriate to stay here for a long time.
Ji Niang nodded, this truth, she also naturally understood.
Mu Lan didn’t say much. When she turned to leave, Ji Niang suddenly stopped Mu Lan. “Young lady, please stay. I’m afraid you can use this.”
Mu Lan slightly twisted his eyebrows and looked at Ji Niang, and his footsteps stopped.
Instead, Chi Niang went into the room and quickly took out an envelope and handed it to Mu Lan. “It’s only part of it, but I think it’s what the eldest lady is looking for.”
Mu Lan looked at Ji Niang as if she were asking.
“Keep the young lady in a safe place, and one day she will be able to use it.” Ji Niang looked at Mu Lan quietly. “It’s getting late. It’s better for the young lady to go back early.”
After that, Ji Niang said nothing more and turned back to her house. Instead,
Mu Lan stood in place for a while, looking at the envelope in his hand, and then quietly put it into his wide sleeve, quickly turned around and left the South Tower.
But for Ji Niang, Mu Lan was a little curious.
This Ji Niang, I’m afraid, is not as simple as she thought.
But who has no secret, who is not hiding a face, as long as Ji Niang is not her stumbling block, Mu Lan will not do anything to Ji Niang.
Sink, Mu Lan did not think much about it, and soon disappeared in the night.
It was not until Mu Lan returned to Luoxuelou that she opened the envelope that Ji Niang had given her, and when she saw the contents of the envelope again, Mu Lan’s eyes sank and a dangerous light flashed through her eyes.
Because the contents of the envelope are indeed what Mu Lan has been looking for.
Even at the expense of exposing the evidence that he failed to get when he appeared in Wangxianglou.
That is the list of people who colluded with Li Shiyuan today, from Kyoto to the vassal king, although not complete, but it also occupied at least half of the people.
Most importantly, inside the stack of envelopes, there were a few words about when they would meet and trade.
But if this evidence appears again, it will be enough to hurt Li Shiyuan’s vitality.
Mulan made a careful inspection and then hid the envelope in a safe place.
But the suspicion in Mu Lan’s eyes could not go down. Regardless of why Ji Niang can get these
first, but Ji Niang gives these to oneself, is enough to let Mu Lan feel suspicious, suspects Ji Niang is not a smattering of knowledge to the matter of Wangxianglou.
Even, know clearly. Why did
a woman who kept a low profile and did not let anyone find out all the year round in Mu Wang Fu suddenly know this.
Mu Lan sank, a long time to suppress the heart is not calm, let oneself gradually calm down.
She understood what Ji Niang meant.
Ji Niang shows kindness and loyalty to herself, this evidence is sincere, but another meaning is to tell Mu Lan that she is not entirely a person who does not know anything, and even knows that the missing dancer in Wangxianglou is herself.
To change an understanding, that is, Mu Lan also has a handle on Ji Niang’s body.
This is a barter, protect yourself.
For a long time, Mu Lan laughed out loud. The
low eyebrows and eyes hid a deep meaning, and soon, Mulan took off her clothes and went to bed quietly, as if she had never known this.
Outside the window, the moonlight is just right.
……
The second day.
Mu Lan, as always, paid his respects to Wang Xueshuang.
But today did not see Chen Zhirong, Mu Lan is not surprised. After all, after last night, Mu Lan was very clear about the efficacy of the drug, even if Chen Zhirong woke up, he would feel extremely tired, and it was normal that he could not get up this morning.
Mu Lan is not anxious to leave from the ancestral temple, but accompanied Wang Xueshuang said for a while, accompanied her with breakfast, see Wang Xueshuang obviously tired, Mu Lan then got up to leave.
Instead, when Mu Lan got up, Wang Hsueh-shuang suddenly stopped Mu Lan and said, “Lan.”
“Does Grandmother have something to tell her?” Mu Lan looked at Wang Xueshuang quietly.
Wang Hsueh-shuang did not speak, but just looked at Mu Lan like this. Then she gently grabbed Mu Lan’s hand. I don’t know if it was a sigh of emotion or a deep meaning. It took her a long time to say, “What do you think of this side of the imperial concubine?”
“Didn’t the side concubine just have a nightmare and be frightened?” Mu Lan pretended to look at Wang Xueshuang.
Wang Xueshuang hesitated and looked at Mu Lan, not knowing whether to say it or not.
Instead, Mu Lan smiled leisurely and said, “Grandmother, are you worried about your concubine?” For
a long time, Wang Hsueh-shuang sighed, “Last night was a big deal. There were several times before, but it wasn’t as big as last night. I’m an old man, and I don’t believe it. But the slaves in the East Building all said they saw something unclean in the East Building.”
“So?” Mu Lan looked at Wang Hsueh-shuang in surprise. “Did the slaves see that?” Mam
my Li went to ask, but the minions were sure. Prince Mu’s mansion has always been upright. How could there be such a thing as a ghost? Besides, the East Tower is so close to the ancestral temple. Wang Xueshuang shook his head.
Mu Lan did not speak, but just stood quietly.
Wang Xueshuang talked a lot, all of which were related to what happened in the East Building.
Mu Lan just listened quietly.
After Wang Hsueh-shuang had finished, Mu Lan opened her mouth to comfort her: “Lan thought, the side imperial concubine just had a nightmare, nothing else. The slaves always like to exaggerate, so don’t take it to heart.”
“I hope so.” Wang Xueshuang did not continue to say anything. “Grandmother,” said
Mu Lanfu, “that Lan’er will retire first.”
Wang Xueshuang hum, did not stop Mu Lan.
Soon, Mu Lan left the ancestral temple. After
Mu Lan left, Li said quietly, “Madam, do you want the eldest daughter to be in charge of the palace?”
Wang Hsueh-shuang nodded and looked at Mammy Li. “The concubine is in such a state that she is restless. Outsiders don’t know about it, but sooner or later it will get out. If there is no one in power in the palace, there will definitely be trouble.”. I can’t just sit back and watch the palace go into trouble and ignore it.
“The young lady is really a good candidate.” Mammy Li nodded approvingly.
Wang Xueshuang didn’t speak.
“Does the old lady think that the young lady is a little young?” Mammy Li could see what Wang Xueshuang meant.
Wang Xueshuang shook her head: Although Mu Lan is young, Mu Lan’s calmness is by no means comparable to that of a girl of this age. If you look at Chih-hua, before Mu Lan came back, everyone thought that Chih-hua knew the book and was reasonable, but once you compare them, you can see the difference.
“Just being able to win the favor of Auntie Chi and the Empress Dowager was enough to make people sit up and take notice, so there was nothing wrong with the young lady being in charge of the palace.” Said Mammy Li quietly.
Soon, Mammy Li quietly looked at Wang Hsueh-shuang and said, “Is the old lady worried that the imperial concubine has an idea?”
“I’m getting old, and I don’t want to make a lot of noise in the palace.” Wang Xueshuang also told the truth.
The slave thought that if the young lady was really in power, these things would not have happened, and the young lady would have handled them well. Besides, if you really want your concubine to hand over power, the prince must agree. So, madam, don’t worry now. Just wait and see what happens. Mam
my Li advised Wang Hsueh-shuang, “Now, you rest first.”. You just wait and see what happens in this matter. When the time is right, everything will come to an end. What’s more, the eldest lady is the daughter of the princess, so it’s natural for her to be in charge of the palace. Every word of Mam
my Li said in Wang Xueshuang’s heart, she nodded, and her tense look relaxed. Without saying anything more, Mam
my Li supported Wang Xueshuang and walked towards the house.
……
Mu Lan walked out of the ancestral temple, and the lotus incense was waiting at the door. When she saw Mu Lan, she quickly followed him.
“Young lady, where are you going?” He Xiang saw Mu Lan walking in the direction of the East Building and stopped Mu Lan without thinking.
Mu Lan smiled and pinched Hexiang’s nose. “The fact that the concubine didn’t come to pay her respects proves that she hasn’t come to her senses about what happened yesterday. As a junior, she must go to pay her respects and see what’s going on.”
He Xiang seemed to understand and nodded.
Mu Lan did not explain any more and walked towards the East Building. Naturally, the slaves in the
East Building were all Chen Chih-jung’s people, and when they saw Mu Lan coming, they said respectfully on the surface, “The slaves have seen the eldest lady.”
“Get up.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly. Then the
slaves got up.
But he didn’t mean to let Mulan go in.
Mu Lan was also very calm and casually asked, “The imperial concubine didn’t go to the ancestral temple today, so I came here specially to pay my respects to her.”
Usually is also Mu Lan in the ancestral temple and side imperial concubine please, so will not deliberately go to the East Building, today this reason also seems reasonable, because Chen Zhirong did not go. The
slaves looked at each other by Mu Lan’s words until the old Mammy beside Chen Zhirong heard the noise and came out. When she
saw Mu Lan, the old Mammy looked much warmer.
It’s just that the old Mammy is just saying between the lines: “Young lady, the empress was frightened last night, and she’s still resting today. I’m afraid she can’t see you.”. She asked her maidservant to come out and say something to you, and she appreciated your kindness.
Old Mammy respectfully conveyed Chen Zhirong’s meaning to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan nodded. “Then please tell Mammy to have a good rest.”
“The maidservant will.” Old Mammy answered.
Then the old Mammy walked towards the house, ignoring Mu Lan. Mu Lan is disapprovingly, raise eyebrow to look at old Mammy to go in, also did not say what. Compared with Mu Zhihua,
Chen Zhirong is obviously much smarter.
At least at this time, they will deal with it calmly, instead of acting on impulse like Mu Zhihua.
Therefore, in Chen Zhirong’s view, she could not stay in Mulan.
In Mu Lan’s view, Chen Zhirong can’t stay either.
What’s more, the revenge of killing his mother, Mu Lan will not easily let go.
This is just the beginning, and yesterday was the climax after the beginning. All
she has to do is wait patiently to close the net.
Sink, Mu Lan did not think any more, nor did he continue to stay in the East Building, but when Mu Lan turned around, he saw Mu Zhihua coming.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and smiled with a deep meaning.
She really didn’t plan to make trouble for Mu Zhihua today. But someone
just took the initiative to come to the door?
When Mu Zhihua saw Mu Lan smiling, his anger came up in an instant: “Mu Lan, what are you doing in the East Building? My mother won’t see you.”. This is not the Snow Tower, and there is no room for you to be presumptuous.
Mu Lan did not get angry, but looked at Mu Zhihua with a half-smile. “What are you slaves doing? Can’t anyone stop you?”
Mu Zhihua exasperated. The
slaves looked at each other by Mu Zhihua, and no one dared to open their mouths.
Instead, Mu Lan smiled: “I didn’t go in. Why should Miss Yi be so angry? Aren’t you afraid of ruining Miss Yi’s image?”
“You..” Mu Zhihua pressed his temper and squinted at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan, however, calmly took a step closer, and the voice was almost close to Mu Zhihua’s ear: “Miss Yi, is this a guilty conscience?”
Mu Zhihua’s face changed.
“But I’ve heard that the East Building is haunted, and this ghost is my dead mother?” Mu Lan smiled faintly, and then pulled away.
Mu Zhihua looked at Mu Lan in amazement.
Mu Lan, however, had already properly distanced himself. His voice was not in a hurry, but it was clear to all the people present: “What Miss Yi said is that these slaves are just talking nonsense. How can such a magnanimous person as the side imperial concubine run into a ghost with a guilty conscience? Next time I hear anyone talking such nonsense, I will punish him severely.” As
he spoke, Mulan chuckled: “After all, only people with a guilty conscience run into ghosts, or do something shameful.”
After that, Mu Lan nodded his head and did not pay any more attention to the meaning of Mu Zhihua.
Mu Zhihua’s mouthful of blood could not come up, and he shouted at Mu Lan: “Mu Lan, don’t spit blood at people.”
Mu Lan did not pay attention to this time, but slowly left with the lotus fragrance, Mu Zhihua looked resentfully, and finally stayed in place, motionless.
Mu Zhihua took Mu Lan no way, mercilessly hit the slave around a slap.
Crisp applause came, Mu Lan just raised his eyebrows, did not even look back, the figure soon disappeared from the East Building.
On the contrary, the lotus fragrance was so frightened that she patted her chest and walked faster. As
he neared the Snow Tower, he couldn’t help but ask, “Young lady, is the East Tower really haunted?”
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and said, “I don’t know.”. After all, it’s quite normal for a wronged soul to demand its life. People don’t like to die in vain.
He Xiang shuddered as she heard this. “Young lady, don’t scare me.”
Mulan spread out his hands, very innocent.
Walking to the snow tower, Mu Lan did not stay in the palace, but from the front of the snow tower, directly toward the east gate of the palace.
He Xiang is used to, also did not say what, quiet follow Mu Lan to leave Mu Wang Fu.
……
Mu Lan’s usual practice is to circle around the market and go to the teahouse for tea, but Mu Lan never looked back at the situation behind her, but she knew very well that she was followed by two forces.
One is from Chen Zhirong.
Second, people from Li Shiyuan.
Chen Zhirong’s people, Mu Lan is not afraid, because Mu Lan knows very well that Chen Zhirong’s life is not long, but Mu Lan does not want Chen Zhirong to die so easily.
And Li Shiyuan’s talent is what Mu Lan needs to be on guard against.
Li Shiyuan’s suspicion is a long time, in a high position, Li Shiyuan will never trust anyone too much, even now confidant Mu Zhantian, Li Shiyuan has reservations.
Mu Lan disappeared in the crowded market, smoothly dumped Li Shiyuan’s people, which quietly turned from the back door of the teahouse to the shop. Shop
keeper Wang was not surprised to see Mu Lan and tried his best to report the situation of the shop. Mu Lan nodded, but he was always a little absent-minded.
Even if shopkeeper Wang brought up the new embroidery, Mu Lan just took a look, and did not say much. Even the
original need for Mu Lan one by one to see the Rouge gouache samples, Mu Lan has only seen, not too attitude.
Such an abnormality made shopkeeper Wang slightly surprised, but shopkeeper Wang did not say much.
Mu Lan looks a little absent-minded, but Mu Lan’s every decision did not make any mistakes, not to mention the shopkeeper Wang is very clear about his identity is a slave, the slave naturally can not ask too much.
So, after discovering the abnormality of Mu Lan, shopkeeper Wang did not say anything, quietly retreated, quietly left the wing to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan watched shopkeeper Wang leave, but he didn’t say anything. The
slender and good-looking fingers tapped gently on the table, and the nails made a clear sound on the table, but Mulan’s eyes looked out of the window at the people coming and going.
She knew exactly who she was waiting for.
Li Shiyu.
Such as Li Shiyu is not Mu Lan because of a few days, and remember this Li Shiyu, but Ji Niang things, so that Mu Lan some have no clue. After
her rebirth, even if she can know what happened in her last life, it does not mean that Mulan has power in Kyoto.
These forces need to be re-cultivated.
And Ji Niang if just want to leave the house, in fact, it is not difficult for Mu Lan, she can send Ji Niang to leave before she enters the palace.
But Ji Niang wants to find her own son, only a short sentence of clues.
Mu Lan can’t even find it.
Kyoto is so big that even Ji Niang’s child was not lost in Kyoto, but had been taken away before she married into Mu Wang Fu. If
Mu Lan acts wantonly, not to mention whether he can find it or not, Li Shiyuan is bound to know. Once
a lot of things are implicated, they will be out of control.
Therefore, Mu Lan finally decided to find Li Shiyu, in a sense, they are in a boat, Li Shiyu is willing to help, the probability of finding Ji Niang’s own son will be much greater.
Mu Lan is going to try after all.
As a result, what Mu Lan did not expect was that Li Shiyu had never been to the shop these days.
This lets Mu Lan slightly some twist eyebrow, at first Mu Lan want these two shops actually did not think much, later Mu Lan just knew, this Kyoto’s most prosperous two shops, actually is the place where Li Shiyu and those aides stay.
Although Li Shiyu will not come every day, but definitely not more than three days.
So the probability of Mu Lan meeting Li Shiyu is very high.
But now
Mu Lan sank, looking out of the window has gradually entered the night, this time she stood up ready to leave, lotus incense has been waiting outside the door, see Mu Lan got up, lotus incense immediately followed up.
The two of them were as silent as when they came.
…… For
several days in a row.
Mu Lan, as usual, will go to the shop every other day, but every time Mu Lan has never met Li Shiyu.
Mulan would wait from morning until dusk to leave.
But Mu Lan would never ask anyone about Li Shiyu.
On the contrary, shopkeeper Wang saw it.
When shopkeeper Wang brought Mu Lan his lunch, he hesitated. Then he asked cautiously, “Miss, are you waiting for Your Royal Highness?”
Mu Lan coughed uncomfortably, did not admit or deny, just bowed his head and ate lunch quietly. Shop
keeper Wang nodded clearly and then explained, “During this period of time, the affairs of the palace are busy, so the four royal Highnesses will not come.”. If the young lady wants to find the fourth royal Highness, the slave can ask someone to inform the fourth royal Highness.
“No need.” Mu Lan answered.
She was suddenly enlightened in the explanation of shopkeeper Wang. She
was negligent.
This period of time, the emperor’s dragon body is ill, almost after the Hungry Ghost Festival has gradually fallen into defeat, the palace doctor helpless, the queen mother is very anxious.
The emperor is secretly looking for the ghost hand.
Li Shiyu is the person in charge of this matter, naturally appears to be much busier.
After all, where the ghost hand is, it is not under Li Shiyu’s control. Naturally,
Li Shiyu also needs to spend manpower and material resources, and it is reasonable that he will not be in the shops as usual.
And shopkeeper Wang listened to Mu Lan’s words, nodded, and retreated to one side. Instead, Mu Lan stood in place thoughtfully.
Li Shiyu is looking for someone now.
Such a person is the best cover color, if Li Shiyu is willing to help himself, at this time, no one will doubt what.
However, she can’t even see Li Shiyu now.
Mu Lan chuckled, also did not say much, and shopkeeper Wang nodded, quietly turned away from the shop, shopkeeper Wang is all the way to Mu Lan to the intersection, carefully told, Mu Lan quietly left.
He Xiang followed closely.
……
Into the night. It was quiet in the palace of
Prince Mu.
On the contrary, the people in the East Building all seemed nervous, because Chen Zhirong’s mood was unstable recently, and from time to time he would appear extremely angry.
The minions are even more cautious. Chen Chih-jung’s emotions were soothed by the old Mammy, who was close to the
“empress.”.
On the contrary, Chen Chih-jung looked at a certain place and, without thinking, grabbed the old Mammy’s hand: “It’s her, it’s her coming back.”
Old Mammy’s hair stood on end at what Chen Chih-jung had said, but she was still doing her best to appease Chen Chih-jung: “Empress, don’t think about it. She’s dead. She’s dead. She won’t come back.”
Her ghost has returned. Came back for me. Chen Zhirong almost screamed again.
As if for the occasion, a gust of wind blew, the window edge was blown out of the gap, the cold wind outside poured into the room, a slender figure appeared outside the window edge.
A pair of beautiful eyes, but no longer the vast stars, but bleeding, empty and godless looking at the situation in the room.
“There she is, there she is.” Chen Zhirong looked frightened.
Old Mammy was also a little scared by Chen Zhirong, and even dared not turn around and look at the position of the window edge.
Want to know that year, the death of the princess, outsiders seem to be dystocia, but they are very clear, is not so simple, Chen Zhirong has long given Luo Xue drugs, will lead to the occurrence of various situations behind.
And the person who drugged it was the old Mammy in front of him.
She is Chen Zhirong’s nurse, from Chen Zhirong married to Mu Wangfu, she also followed all the way, is Chen Zhirong in the palace of the most trusted people, but also the most status.
Besides, the princess of that year died too miserably.
The blood on the ground was shocking.
The old Mammy also shivered a little.
“Mammy, go and close the window.” Chen Zhirong pressed his frightened heart and kept urging him.
“All right, the slave is going.” The old Mammy did not dare to hesitate and went over at once.
But before walking over, the old Mammy still looked at Chen Zhirong, really afraid of Chen Zhirong screaming again, she looked for a while, to make sure that Chen Zhirong’s condition is still stable, she quickly walked toward the window edge. As the
old Mammy approached the window, Chen Chih-jung actually screamed, “It’s her! I’ve got a good look. It’s really her! She’s back!” Before the
old Mammy’s hand touched the window edge, a demon wind blew, and the window edge was closed heavily.
The sound made the old Mammy’s heart beat faster, and without thinking, she looked in the direction of Chen Zhirong.
At this point, the old Mammy also appeared to exclaim.
Because she also really looked at, a touch of white figure, disheveled hair standing on the other side of the window edge, dripping blood eyes looking at Chen Zhirong, a sad smile.
“I’m back,” said Luo Xue’s voice. “Are you afraid, Chen Zhirong? Afraid I’ll ask for your life? You robbed me of my husband, drugged me, and made me die in vain, leaving my daughter wandering from childhood. How can I let you be so free?
Luo Xue did not approach, and said sullenly, “It’s so lonely down there.” You are my good sister, and I want you to come down and accompany me.
Chen Zhirong frightened pale face, even the old Mammy are directly kneeling on the ground, such a picture, let her cold sweat, constantly kowtowing.
One by one.
Chen Chih-jung’s screams followed, and she shook her head desperately: “Don’t come here, don’t come here..”
If at first it was just an illusion, but now Luo Xue, who really appeared in front of him, made Chen Zhirong unable to hold back any longer.
Too real, but cold and gloomy, almost in an instant, Chen Zhirong was swallowed up. All kinds of pictures kept overlapping in
her mind. There was
a shrill scream. The minions outside the
“empress” rushed in at once.
After the door of the wing was opened, the room became quiet again, and the seeping pictures seen before never appeared again, as if nothing had happened, even the furnishings had not changed.
Chen Chih-jung frantically grabbed the nearest person, and her voice kept shouting, “Don’t come over, don’t come over..”
The old Mammy was so frightened that her hands and feet were not sharp.
The minions dare not speak. Once again, there was a commotion in the
East Building, and even the whole palace was awakened by such a shrill scream.
And a figure dressed in white has been the fastest speed of the long gown, as if nothing had happened in the crowd, appeared in front of everyone.
It seems that he is just a member of the crowd.
Naturally, Wang Xueshuang was also alarmed, and then came in a hurry is still Mu Zhihua, Mu Lan and others. Accidents twice
a day, Wang Xueshuang’s face is still good-looking, but repeatedly in the middle of the night issued this shrill cry, also let Wang Xueshuang angry unceasingly.
Her face sank, looking at the slaves kneeling on the ground in the East Tower, without saying a word, which made the people present even more creepy, lowering their heads and looking at each other.
Chen Zhirong was so frightened that he was obviously delirious and did not even pay his respects.
“Enough.” Wang Hsueh-shuang’s angry voice said, “My huge Mansion of the Prince of Mu is said to be haunted every day. If word gets out, I don’t know how the people outside will arrange the people in my Mansion of the Prince of Mu.”
“Grandmother” Mu Chih-hua knelt down and tried to speak for Chen Chih-jung.
Wang Hsueh-shuang paid no attention to Mu Chih-hua, and could not be more disgusted with the situation in front of her: Since the side imperial concubine always wakes up in the middle of the night and her mental condition is not very good, tomorrow she will ask someone to go to the palace and ask the imperial physician to come and look at the situation. During this period of time when the imperial concubine was in poor health, Mu Lan was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the mansion.
Mulan’s red lips moved slightly, but in the end Mulan didn’t say anything, and quietly answered, “Laner knows.”
Kneeling on the ground of the slave heard Wang Xueshuang’s words, eyebrows and eyes also flashed a trace of surprise, but soon, such surprise was restrained, looking at Mu Lan, become respectful.
For more than ten years, although Chen Zhirong was in power in the palace.
It seems that Wang Xueshuang no longer pays attention to anything, but the slaves in the palace are very clear that Wang Xueshuang’s words can change everything.
Now, the meaning of Wang Xueshuang’s words is undoubtedly to completely deprive Chen Zhirong of all his power.
And Mu Lan is the real ruler of Mu Wang Fu.
“Niang” Chen Chih-jung seemed to wake up all of a sudden and looked at Wang Hsueh-shuang in disbelief. “You.. You can’t do this..
“Can’t I?” Wang Xueshuang looked down at Chen Zhirong, who was soft on the ground, and said word by word, “Side Concubine, look at what you look like now. Your hair is disheveled and you are in a trance. How can you manage everything in the palace now?”? If we get word out, we’re not going to make a fool of ourselves.
This, without a trace of emotion, even looked at Chen Zhirong’s eyes a little impatient.
This has also sentenced Chen Zhirong to death.
Chen Zhirong desperately shook his head and knelt down in front of Wang Xueshuang, holding Wang Xue’s skirt tightly and refusing to let go. The impatience in
Wang Xueshuang’s eyes also became obvious.
She looked at Mammy Li. Mam
my Li immediately stepped forward and carefully pulled Chen Chih-jung’s hand away from Wang Hsueh-shuang. She said lightly, “Empress, you’re not in good health. Take a good rest first. When you’re well, you can work hard.”. Otherwise, if you keep acting like this, the old lady will be distressed.
Chen Zhirong is shaking his head.
Mu Zhihua was so stunned that he could not speak and could not believe what he heard.
But Wang Xueshuang did not mean to stay in place, shaking his head and turning to leave. Before she
left, she did not forget to tell the slave in the East Building, “If you don’t even like your master, then don’t stay in the palace any more. The palace doesn’t need useless slaves.” The implication is
that such a thing should not happen again for the third time, and for the third time, Wang Xueshuang will certainly not let go of the people present.
“Wang Yeh will be back soon. If Wang Yeh knows about this kind of thing, you’re going to be in trouble.” Wang Xueshuang warned in a deep voice. The slaves in the
East Building had already turned pale with fear.
But Wang Xue ignored it.
Mu Zhihua didn’t even want to catch up with him, but the old Mammy quickly grabbed him and said, “Miss, don’t go and make a mess.”. If you do this, it will only make things more difficult for the Empress.
“But” Mu Chih-hua is not reconciled.
I’m really not reconciled. The feeling of
losing ground is not very good.
And this let them retreat, or the most disgusted Mu Lan, even Mu Lan’s words in the ear is still vivid, that kind of ridicule is almost like tens of millions of ants crawling in the heart of Mu Zhihua, let her completely restless.
“If you can’t bear small things, you’ll mess up big plans.” Old Mammy is persuading Mu Zhihua.
Old Mammy is an experienced person, a lot of things to see clearly, Mu Lan can take away power from Chen Zhirong, Wang Xueshuang is willing to stand on the side of Mu Lan, which means that this is Mu Lan’s ability, can do this, but also proves that Mu Lan is not a simple person.
In the case of their obvious defeat, to come out again is just to make Mu Lan more proud.
What’s more, the old Mammy had already seen clearly the picture she had seen before at the moment she turned around.
Now looking at Mu Lan that and Luo Xue Princess is almost a wipe of the face, the old Mammy also shudder, after all, is to do something shameful, that kind of guilty is also obvious.
Even his breathing became a little short.
Chen Chih-jung, on the other hand, became even more distracted after hearing the news. Old Mammy picked up Chen Chih-jung and said, “I’ll send you back to rest first, and we’ll discuss other things in the long run.”
Chen Zhirong was helped back to the East Building by the old Mammy in a trance.
Instead, Mu Lan stood all the time, watching Chen Zhirong being helped in by the old Mammy, and then smiled faintly. Out of the corner of her
eye, she looked at Ji Niang in the corner without any trace. They exchanged a look silently, and then Mu Lan nodded slightly and turned to leave. No one noticed the conversation between the
two.
But Mu Zhihua looked at Mu Lan with a cold face: “Mu Lan, don’t be too proud. I won’t let you be proud.”
Mu Lan did not stop walking, nor did she even look at Mu Zhihua. She just said coldly, “Mu Zhihua, the imperial concubine is guilty. Don’t you feel guilty?”? Aren’t you afraid that one day the people you killed will come back for you?
“You..” Mu Zhihua’s footsteps staggered.
Qiu Xiang held Mu Zhihua for the first time, she shook her head at Mu Zhihua, Mu Zhihua endured, and finally walked quickly towards the East Building.
The East Tower gradually quieted down, but in the night, the East Tower always seemed a bit mysterious.
……
Mu Lan took the lotus fragrance back to Luoxuelou.
He Xiang put her hand on the door and was ready to push it open when Mu Lan said lightly, “All right, he Xiang, you go and rest first. I’ll do the rest myself.”
“Good.” Hexiang didn’t say much.
Soon, the lotus fragrant blessing body, walked toward own room, Mu Lan looked at the lotus fragrant to leave, this only then pushed open the house door, leisurely walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, Mu Lan saw Li Shiyu sitting in a chair.
She did not speak, turned and closed the door calmly. Only then did
Li Shiyu lazily look over and say, “The king has heard that Prince Mu’s mansion is haunted.”
“Are the four royal Highnesses still coming?” Mu Lan was not polite to reply.
“The ghost is looking for the king?” Li Shiyu’s model essay with a half-smile.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and said, “I don’t know.”
Li Shiyu chuckled this time, and then he stood up and walked in the direction of Mu Lan, who stood motionless in place, watching Li Shiyu come. I haven’t seen
this man for a few days. I can’t
tell you how I feel.
But the sense of oppression that Li Shiyu brought to Mu Lan is still there.
Until Li Shiyu walked up to Mu Lan, Mu Lan did not dodge, looking at the man in front of him.
Just Mu Lan appears to be particularly vigilant.
As a result, Li Shiyu didn’t do anything. He kept a distance of half a man’s width from Mu Lan and said lightly, “Are you looking for Ben Wang?”
Mu Lan: “… …”
When Li Shiyu asked this, Mu Lan knew with his toes who said it to Li Shiyu.
In the shop, Mu Lan can not see Li Shiyu, does not mean that shopkeeper Wang can not see. So now Li Shiyu appeared in front of him out of the blue, and only the shopkeeper Wang could reveal the news.
“It’s rare for you to take the initiative to find Ben Wang.” Li Shiyu looked down from a commanding position, and his tall figure gave people a stronger and stronger sense of oppression.
But when Mu Lan saw that his purpose had been exposed, he was not impatient: “Your Highness has flattered himself.”
Mu Lan didn’t admit it.
Li Shiyu was also angry, reaching out to pinch Mu Lan’s chin, his tall figure slightly lowered, the tip of his nose almost against the tip of Mu Lan’s nose, and their breathing became clearly visible.
Mu Lan suddenly felt his heart beating a little fast.
But in front of Li Shiyu, Mu Lan did not want to let himself fall behind.
Even when he was pinched by this man, Mu Lan’s spine was very straight.
“Not for the king, but for His Royal Highness?” Suddenly, Li Shiyu changed the topic, and his voice became cold. It
‘s obviously a joke, but the tone of voice makes people feel cold.
Mulan frowned. “Your Highness, what did you say?”
“If you have to wait for the crown prince, there should be no chance.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly, and then he let go of Mu Lan, “because the king didn’t intend to give the prince such a chance.”
Mu Lan is more and more confused.
But Li Shiyu’s words really surprised Mu Lan.
She knew very well that Li Shiyu and Li Shiyuan were different after all. Li Shiyu needed to keep a low profile unless it was ordered by the emperor. But Li Shiyuan is the opposite, he can be presumptuous, today’s prince, no one dares to say a word more.
So even if busy again, Li Shiyu can be busy to disappear, but Li Shiyuan is impossible.
If Li Shiyuan is really interested in himself, then this period of time will certainly do his best to please himself, rather than so keep a distance.
It seems that after leaving the palace from the Hungry Ghost Festival, I only met Li Shiyuan when I came out of the hospital, even because Li Shiyuan happened to be near there, otherwise, it is true that Li Shiyuan did not take the initiative to find himself.
Mu Lan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then looked at Li Shiyu. Only then did
Li Shiyu go on to say, “The king has found something to do, so that His Royal Highness is very busy. Naturally, he won’t have time to estimate the love between his son and daughter.”. After all, in the prince’s mind, he knows very well which is more important.
This answer, let Mu Lan unexpected.
Then Mulan sneered, “Your Highness, you are so childish.”
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan without changing his face, but he did not get angry because of Mu Lan’s words.
Mu Lan also does not speak.
Anyway is used to this person suddenly appeared, suddenly left, she did not pay much attention to Li Shiyu, but looking out of the window of the time, Mu Lan sank.
It’s past midnight.
In the past, if this person appeared in the snowfall building, he would not stay past midnight.
And this time?
Mu Lan was quiet, but he didn’t say anything.
In Mu Lan’s view, talking to Li Shiyu is not very useful, just like going around in circles, is a ghost hitting the wall, unless Li Shiyu is willing to take the initiative to say to you, otherwise, you can not use all means to get words out of Li Shiyu’s mouth.
So, Mu Lan doesn’t have to waste his efforts.
Besides, she and Li Shiyu have never done anything, so in front of Li Shiyu, Mu Lan does not need affectation, and there is no meaning of affectation.
She quietly walked toward the bed, and Li Shiyu also quietly followed up, Mu Lan’s hand clasped on his chest pocket, paused.
“Want the king’s help?” Li Shiyu’s voice was lowered, and the warmth of his thin lips clung to Mu Lan’s ears.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and said in a cold tone, “No.”. Your Highness wants to help. Where are you going to help?
The words are bright and not implicit at all.
Li Shiyu laughed out loud. With an effort, Mu Lan turned around and looked directly at Li Shiyu. The whole person fell into Li Shiyu’s arms: “Mu Lan, who do you look like in this temper?”? In the impression of this king, your mother and concubine are gentle and virtuous. Although Mu Wang Ye doesn’t talk much, he is definitely a refined person. With your character, every time you see Ben Wang, it’s like you’re choking a pepper, and people who don’t choke are fighting to the death, and you don’t want to.
“Since the four lords know my temper, why should they provoke me?” Mu Lanpi looked at Li Shiyu with a smile.
Li Shiyu was also very calm, and did not get angry because of Mu Lan’s words: “Maybe I have never met a woman like you?”
Mu Lan is half smiling.
Li Shiyu hooked Mu Lan’s chin, staring at Mu Lan, Mu Lan did not say anything, watching the man getting closer and closer, close to the two men’s breath clearly visible.
Mu Lan subconsciously thought that Li Shiyu was going to kiss himself.
As a result, Li Shiyu stood calmly and suddenly laughed softly: “What are you waiting for?”
Mu Lan: “… …”
She sneered, but unceremoniously pushed Li Shiyu away directly.
Li Shiyu also does not mind, the eye disease hand is quick to wrap Mu Lan’s hand in his palm, again a force, Mu Lan directly returned to Li Shiyu’s bosom.
“My father hasn’t been in good health lately. For one thing, he’s been busy looking for a ghost hand, and for another, the king has released the news, causing the prince to burn at both ends. He won’t have time to come looking for you.” But Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth and explained, “The king doesn’t think you want to have too much contact with the prince, eh?”
Li Shiyu knows Mu Lan.
Mu Lan did not speak and stood.
She could not deny that Li Shiyu’s observation was different from ordinary people’s keenness, and all people thought that after Li Shiyuan openly and the emperor wanted people, Mu Lan must have jumped for joy, wishing he could accompany Li Shiyuan day and night.
But Mulan didn’t think so.
The closer we get to Li Shiyuan, the more trouble we have.
Therefore, can avoid, at least did not leave Mu Wangfu, did not deal with Chen Zhirong’s affairs before, Mu Lan is not suitable to expose too much, also is not suitable to find stumbling blocks for themselves.
So Mu Lan out of the palace, but everywhere to avoid, naturally, but to avoid, Mu Lan will not affectation.
But Mu Lan never thought that he would lose himself before he entered the palace.
Besides, the position of Crown Princess, I’m afraid, is not so easy.
“Is the king wrong?” Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan is calm: “Does the four royal Highnesses know that Mu Lan is not willing to have too much contact with the four royal Highnesses?”? After all, the prince’s eyes are on me everywhere.
“Are you worried about me?” Li Shiyu smiled again, and the smile had a deep meaning.
“I’m worried about myself.” Mu Lan said directly.
Li Shi-yu didn’t speak, but just gazed down at Mu Lan. “If you’re worried, why do you have to go to the hospital so often?”? It’s okay for you to fool the prince with your words, but it’s much worse to fool the king.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and said nothing.
“Do you know where the ghost hand is?” Li Shi-yu asked directly, “If you really know, you have to pretend you don’t know. Did you hear that?”
“Why?” Mu Lan asked in reply.
“Mulan, don’t you understand why curiosity kills cats?” Li Shi-yu says lightly, “It will also involve everyone in the hospital.”
Listening to Li Shiyu’s words, Mu Lan’s eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and she knew very well that Li Shiyu had never been a person who would make such a joke.
“It was you who released all the news about the hospital. You led the prince and the king’s men to the hospital. Because the people in the hospital had excellent medical skills, they made the father suspicious.” Li Shiyu explained quietly, “The king doesn’t know what your purpose is, but it’s an indisputable fact that you want to send people to the palace.”
Mu Lan’s calm face finally cracked for a moment.
Some are not so calm. The situation in the
palace is unstable, and with your connections, you’re just asking for your own death if you send it in. Do you really think that no one can find you? Li Shiyu’s voice was somewhat stern.
Mu Lan didn’t say anything.
These questions, Mu Lan is not without consideration, but when asked by Li Shiyu, Mu Lan suddenly realized what, looked up at Li Shiyu.
No wonder several times I came out of the North Lane, I always felt that someone was following me, but the feeling soon disappeared.
Not with himself, but every person who comes in and out of the hospital, I’m afraid, is already in the object of suspicion.
It’s just that every time she was stopped by Li Shiyu, she shifted her direction.
Think of here, Mu Lan can not help but some shudder, looking at Li Shiyu’s eyes, also become flickering up.
And Li Shiyu had already pinched Mu Lan’s chin: “Mu Lan, you are very smart, but you have to remember that no matter how smart you are, this big week is not around you alone.”. The king doesn’t understand what you’re going to do, but the king knows very well that it’s absolutely impossible for you to subvert everything by yourself. A
low voice, with a warning. Looking at Mu Lan
again, there was no change in his eyes.
Mu Lan came to his senses and said, “Mu Lan thanks Your Highness for reminding me.”
This is Mulan’s mistake. She was
really careless. Although
she was reborn and knew what had happened in her previous life, many things had actually changed. Even if the outcome of these things has not changed, but for Mu Lan, this life is still fighting alone, it takes time to cultivate their own forces.
This time is even long.
In this period of time, she easily and openly provoked all the people, which was really inappropriate.
Mu Wang Fu can be in control, but in the palace, it is impossible.
That deep palace is like an abyss that eats people. It is absolutely impossible for those who go in to come out intact.
Even if Aunt Maggie left the palace safe and sound, who knows how many people’s blood she stepped on to get to this point when she was in the palace.
Mu Lan takes a deep breath.
“So, do you want to go to the palace to be the Crown Princess?” Li Shiyu suddenly asked Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was bewitched by Li Shiyu for a moment, this person’s eyes are the best pair of eyes she has ever seen, the stars in the fundus always let people ignore the person’s own gloom, people can not help but fall into such stars, no longer want to pull out.
But Mu Lan was only in a trance for a moment, and immediately came to his senses and said, “Yes.”
Her answer remains unchanged.
Li Shiyu laughed, lowered his head and bit Mu Lan directly: “Mu Lan, you are a stubborn person.”
“I am.” Mu Lan unceremoniously bit back.
“Aren’t you afraid that one day you’ll fall down in the palace and bleed profusely?”.
Mu Lan smiled and was passively kissed by Li Shiyu, all of whom answered carelessly: “If one day I fall with blood dripping, I will certainly drag the four of you with me to the grave.”
“The tone is not small.”
“If you don’t try, how will Your Highness know the result?”
“Mu Lan, as long as you don’t provoke the king, do you feel uncomfortable?”
“Maybe?” In
such an entanglement, the tone suddenly changed.
Afterwards
Mu Lan did not want to say a word, obviously Li Shiyu did not mean to go, just so quietly hugging Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was motionless, resting with his eyes closed.
“Go to sleep.” Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth lightly. Stunned,
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and said, “Your Highness, what do you mean by that?”
“Sleep.” Li Shiyu maintained the same tone.
This is to clearly tell Mu Lan
tonight Li Shiyu does not intend to leave, Mu Lan can not believe looking at Li Shiyu, this person is thinking about what, you know, the palace guards are not a minority, Li Shiyu every time, is also dancing in the dead of night.
Once past the fifth watch, who knows what will happen.
“You can’t be here..” Mu Lan came to his senses and immediately struggled to get up.
Li Shiyu’s movements were even faster. As soon as he turned over, Mu Lan was already controlled by Li Shiyu in his arms. This man’s handsome face was getting closer and closer, and he lightly changed the subject: “What are you going to do in the shop to find Ben Wang?”
“You..” Mu Lan bit his lip.
“Mu Lan, this is the only chance. If you don’t say it, the king will pretend that this has never happened.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth calmly, but without a trace of a joke.
Mu Lan closed his eyes slightly and sneered, “Is it because I have served His Highness well that His Highness is so generous?”
“Do you serve the king?” Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows. “Are you sure it wasn’t the king who served you?”
Mu Lan: “… …” It’s a girl’s family
after all.
No matter what the last life has experienced, in the face of this person’s dirty words, Mu Lan is still somewhat overwhelmed, and Li Shiyu in front of himself, seems to follow more and more presumptuous up.
Mulan took a deep breath and simply said, “I want Your Highness to help me find someone.”
“Who?” Li Shiyu asked carelessly.
“I don’t know.” Mu Lan answered.
Li Shiyu twisted his eyebrows and pinched Mu Lan’s chin. “Mu Lan, are you making fun of Ben Wang?”? Will you let the king find someone you don’t know?
“No, it’s like this. A friend of mine wants to find her long-lost biological son, but she hasn’t seen him since he was born. She only knows that they were separated in lockdown of a city, and she doesn’t know anything else.” Mu Lan explained.
“The lockdown of a city is neither too big nor too small. You don’t even have a clue to the vast sea of people. Who has the ability to reach the sky and find someone for you?”. Li Shiyu looked down at Mu Lan, but asked directly.
Mu Lan did not answer.
“What is your friend’s last name, who is he, and what is his situation?” Li Shi-yu asks again, “You haven’t even given me such a clue. Even the Jade Emperor, I’m afraid he can’t help you find someone.”
After that, Li Shiyu did not open his mouth.
Mu Lan’s silence is considering how high the feasibility of this matter is.
Find Ji Niang’s son, is just an additional condition, to find, that is, than to expose Ji Niang, this is not a good thing for Mu Lan, Mu Lan’s people are almost all Li Shiyu’s people, she wants to hide her own people, is not too easy.
If Ji Niang’s son is not found, as long as Ji Niang is sent out of the palace, Ji Niang’s wish is fulfilled.
And Mu Lan intuitively believes that Ji Niang is not completely unaware of the whereabouts of the child, but when facing herself, Ji Niang did not tell all the truth.
Who doesn’t have a secret.
“Mmm.” Li Shiyu reminded Mu Lan, as if waiting for Mu Lan to go on.
Mu Lan shook his head: “Forget it.”. Mu Lan still won’t impose on others.
The topic came to an abrupt end.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan without changing his complexion. When he saw that Mu Lan had drifted away, he suddenly asked, “What if the king found someone for you?”
“Impossible.” The directness of Mulan’s denial.
With your little clue, it’s not entirely impossible that the time was 18 years ago. There are always people who can be checked out. It’s just a matter of time. Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
It just depends on whether Li Shiyu is willing or not.
This time it was Mu Lan who twisted his eyebrows. “Your Highness, are you sure?”
Li Shiyu chuckled, “If the king has found someone for you, how will you thank him?”
Mu Lan did not answer.
She always felt that this was a trap for Li Shiyu.
This life after heavy work, as long as the previous life contact with the idea of people, Mu Lan can easily grasp, but Li Shiyu, she can never figure out his idea, so before figure out, Mu Lan will not easily send himself in.
Sheep into the tiger’s mouth, the person who can not escape is himself, not Li Shiyu.
“Mu Lan.” Li Shiyu’s voice came faintly, “If you are the princess of this king, this king will help unconditionally.”. But why should the king help the Crown Princess. Since you are the Crown Princess, why don’t you ask the Crown Prince for help?
In a few words, Li Shiyu had nothing to say about Mu Lan. “I don’t have to let the four lords help,” said
Mu Lan. Finish
saying, Mu Lan did not pay attention to Li Shiyu again, turn round to close an eye to the bed, the meaning that talks again does not have a bit.
Even if Li Shiyu is not a trap for himself, it is also to find himself unhappy. Why should
she bump into this critical juncture again and cut her heart again.
Endure, Mu Lan words are too lazy to say.
But Li Shiyu laughed out loud in a low voice, very naturally hugged Mu Lan to his bosom, rubbed Mu Lan’s delicate skin with his chin, but also did not say anything.
Mu Lan did not have a hard time with himself, and gradually relaxed down and fell asleep.
Li Shiyu looked down at Mu Lan with some helplessness.
But in the end, Li Shiyu did not say anything and accompanied Mu Lan.
It was not until after
the third watch that Li Shiyu quietly got up and changed his clothes that he left Mu Lan’s boudoir, just as when he came, no one found it.
…… After
last night, Mu Lan subconsciously did not go to the shop for a few days, but also to hide from Li Shiyu.
Obviously, Li Shiyu to prevent the prince to find their own results, that is, Li Shiyu is also busy, after that night, Li Shiyu did not appear in front of Mu Lan. In the matter of the
shop, shopkeeper Wang still used the flying pigeon to pass on the book to find Mu Lan. On the
other hand, because Chen Zhirong was stripped of his power, now the big and small things in the palace fall on Mu Lan, naturally, Mu Lan has less time to go out. The trifles of the
palace are enough to keep a person busy. Fortunately
, the operation of the shops has been on track, almost making a lot of money.
And Chen Zhirong’s condition did not improve, or even followed the deterioration, the palace doctor came several times, did not find the key to the problem, just said Chen Zhirong restless, need to rest, also opened some prescriptions to calm the nerves and left.
Because of this, Chen Zhirong naturally could not leave the East Building.
Mu Zhantian got the news and rushed back, but the result was still of no help.
Chen Zhirong’s situation has always been good and bad.
Mu Zhantian privately looked for a trusted doctor and checked what Chen Zhirong ate every day, but he never found any traces of being poisoned inside.
Then he asked the old Mammy about the situation, and the old Mammy became hesitant.
Mu Zhantian twisted his eyebrows and looked at the old Mammy. “I told you to say it. Why are you so hesitant?” Frightened, the
old Mammy knelt down and said, “Two..” Second young master.. It’s true.. Ture Princess. The empress has come to ask for her life.
The voice was stuttering.
These days, although Chen Zhirong will not scream again at night, but he can not sleep all night, slightly trembling curled up on the bed.
Chen Zhirong kept pulling the old Mammy, always saying from time to time that Luo Xue had come back.
And the old Mammy could faintly see Luo Xue’s eyes with blood.
The atmosphere is getting more and more seeping.
Only at dawn, Chen Zhirong can sleep, but only because of excessive fatigue, Chen Zhirong can fall asleep, most of the time, she is a surprise. The prescription prescribed by the
imperial physician to calm the nerves was almost useless in the end.
“Nonsense.” Mu Zhantian looked coldly at the old Mammy. “If you don’t stop talking nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth off.”
“The maidservant doesn’t dare to talk nonsense, absolutely not.” The old Mammy kept kowtowing on the ground, and her head was almost broken.
Mu Zhantian looked coldly at the old Mammy, his eyes getting more and more gloomy.
Old Mammy is the most trusted person around Chen Zhirong, Mu Zhantian can not be unclear, so this is not without a source.
After calming down for a long time, Mu Zhantian asked word by word: “I ask you, you have to answer truthfully, can you see the princess come back every night?”
“Yes..” The old Mammy did not dare to be ambiguous for a moment. “The slave really saw it.”
“When?” Mu Zhantian asked.
“She came just after noon.” The old Mammy’s voice trembled. “Dressed in white, with blood in her eyes and her hair hanging loose, she looks exactly like the princess when she died.”
Mu Zhantian ignored Mammy’s description. His face was gloomy. He stood up with a cold snort and said, “I’d like to meet this ghost.”. I’m here tonight, and you’re all waiting outside. Keep your eyes wide open to see if it’s a human being or a ghost making trouble in the East Tower.
“Yes.” Old Mammy wanted it. During
this period of time, it was not only Chen Zhirong who was tortured, but also the old Mammy and the slaves in the East Building. Everyone seemed to be trembling.
Mu Zhantian’s words, on the contrary, liberated them from such fear. None of
them wanted to stay in Chen Zhirong’s house. Everyone can’t bear the feeling of
panic everywhere.
“Get out.” Mu Zhantian scolded in a cold voice. The
slaves stood up quickly and retreated, not daring to say a word more.
Mu Zhantian took a deep breath and turned to look at Chen Zhirong, who was still sleeping unsteadily on the bed, frowning tightly.
Mu Zhihua waited on the bed.
But the panic in Mu Zhihua’s eyes was still obvious, and it was not until Chen Zhirong slept relatively calmly that Mu Zhihua looked at Mu Zhantian. The worry on
his face was still there, but more of it was a kind of unwillingness and anger.
“Brother, it must be Mulan’s fault.” “When Mulan didn’t come back, everything in the palace was fine. When Mulan came back, everything was not normal. Even the prince was different to Mulan.”
Mu Lan doesn’t know what means he used to make his mother become like this. She even threatened me and my mother. Mu Zhihua’s palms were tightly clenched into fists, and his nails were pinched into the flesh.
That kind of gloom and anger, unaware.
Mu Zhihua thought that Mu Zhantian would stand on his side and would severely clean up Mu Lan.
After all, Mu Zhantian is the prince’s confidant, the prince for Mu Zhantian’s words, although not obedient, but still has absolute weight.
As a result, Mu Zhihua did not expect that Mu Zhantian listened to Mu Zhihua’s words, twisted his eyebrows and looked at Mu Zhihua. Mu Zhihua was somewhat frightened by Mu Zhantian.
“Brother, do something about it. Why are you looking at me?” “Don’t be silent,” said Mu Chih-hua, stamping his feet. “Speak!”
Mu Zhihua urged Mu Zhantian.
Mu Zhantian was urged by Mu Zhihua to be a little annoyed, and his eyes flashed a trace of impatience.
These are, isn’t he in a hurry?
Want to stabilize their position in Li Shiyuan’s side, Mu Zhihua to become the Crown Princess is naturally the best thing, but now the variables of things have made Mu Zhantian confused.
As for this matter, Mu Zhantian did not beat around the Bush, but Mu Zhantian knew very well that it was very difficult to change what Li Shiyuan had decided.
But Mu Lan is still fresh for Li Shiyuan, and it is even more difficult for Li Shiyuan to change his mind.
Sinking, Mu Zhantian looked at Mu Zhihua and said, “Enough.”
Mu Zhihua was obviously frightened by Mu Zhantian’s attitude. He looked at Mu Zhantian in disbelief: “Mu Zhantian, you..” Don’t forget that we are in the same boat. If something happens to me, do you really think you will be all right?
At this time, Mu Zhihua looked unusually calm: “Mu Lan won’t let me and my mother go, and he won’t let you go either.”. If she does become the Crown Princess, you’ll be attacked on all sides, just like I am now!
Mu Zhihua’s eyes were red and he looked at Mu Zhantian with grievance, but every word he said was full of thorns.
Mu Zhantian frowned more and more tightly, and then looked at Mu Zhihua’s face more and more gloomy, and soon, he stood in front of Mu Zhihua, his voice was very low.
Even Mu Zhantian’s voice came from deep in his throat: “Mu Zhihua, do you think I don’t want to?”
Mu Zhihua shrank for a moment.
Look at what you look like now. What can you compare with Mu Lan? Where is your calmness, where is your decency? Mu Zhantian is questioning Mu Zhihua, “You are like this, with Mu Lan, everyone knows who is the most suitable candidate for the Crown Princess, otherwise why do you think Dad will change his mind, why do you think the Queen Mother will like Mu Lan?”
“I..”
It’s not the draft yet. What’s your hurry. Everything can change. Mu Lan is still calm, not impatient. What about you? What have you done? You wish the whole world knew that you had already lost your virginity to the prince?
“No, I..” What are
you doing? Do you really think I don’t know anything about what you’ve been doing lately? Mother’s situation, do you think I’m not in a hurry? Don’t you know what it means for you to act rashly until you find definite evidence? Will it do us any good to expose yourself to the enemy, who is in the dark and we are in the light?
Mu Zhantian looked at Mu Zhihua with hatred.
At least in Mu Zhantian’s previous understanding of Mu Zhihua, if Mu Zhihua married into the East Palace, it would be his most advantageous helper, but now, Mu Zhantian dare not think so.
Mu Zhihua didn’t dare to say a word about Mu Zhan Tianxun.
“You have to remember that Mulan is the freshest person now. He is the treasure in the hands of the prince. If you can’t bear a little, you will mess up a big plan. I’ve told you this a thousand times, but do you remember it?” Mu Zhantian twisted his eyebrows, and his tone became heavier and heavier. “You’re staying quietly in the palace now. You’re not allowed to do anything without my notice.”
「……」
Mu Chih-hua, did you hear that? Now don’t mess with Mu Lan. Naturally, I will get to the bottom of this matter. Mu Zhantian once again confessed Mu Zhihua. Although
Mu Zhihua is not reconciled, but in Mu Zhantian’s words, also no longer say anything.
This period of time, she has lost too many opportunities, but let Mu Lan catch up, and then so chaotic, I am afraid it is really not worth the loss.
It was a long time before Mu Chih-hua reluctantly answered, “I know.”
“Mmm.” Mu Zhantian answered, “I’ll look into the matter of my mother. As for the East Palace, you wait for my news. Don’t worry. I’m your brother. It’s impossible for me not to help my own sister, but to help Mu Lan.”
“I see.” Mu Zhihua’s voice was still muffled.
Mu Zhantian didn’t say anything.
But Mu Zhihua hid a deep meaning in his low eyebrows and eyes. He had not said a word for a long time. He stood quietly in the room, and the brother and sister each occupied a position. The atmosphere
in the room was even more gloomy.
……
A few days later
, in the mansion of King Mu.
Since Mu Zhantian came back, Mu Lan has never left Mu Wangfu again. Apart from paying his respects, he reads and drinks tea in Luoxue Lou all day long. Even everything in Wangfu has been moved to Luoxue Lou to deal with.
The falling snow building is very lively.
It seems that after more than ten years of silence, it suddenly becomes lively. On the contrary, the East Building, which used to be crowded, became quiet.
But no matter how busy Mu Lan is, she can handle everything with ease and arrange everything in the palace properly.
Wang Xueshuang is very satisfied with Mu Lan.
And the person who is most convinced of Mu Lan is Chen butler.
When taking Mu Lan back from Gu Fu, Chen butler knew very well that Mu Wang Fu would change dramatically sooner or later, but Chen butler didn’t expect that the day would come so fast, almost in an instant, when everyone rubbed their hands, Mu Lan had already taken the right to speak of the whole Wang Fu from Chen Zhirong.
Chen butler naturally in front of Mu Lan, more and more appear to be cautious up.
“Chen butler.” Mu Lan suddenly looked at Chen butler. House
keeper Chen put down what he was doing and respectfully walked over to Mu Lan. “Young lady, if you have something to do, just tell me.”
“How are things going with Fourth Mistress?” Mu Lan seemed to want to be angry and asked. House
keeper Chen quieted down and said, “All this time, the doctor has been coming to see the Fourth Lady, but the Fourth Lady hasn’t got better, and the old lady has allowed the Fourth Lady not to come to pay her respects.”. Fourth Mistress hasn’t left the South Tower for a long time.
Mu Lan nodded, but did not say anything.
To send Ji Niang out of the house, naturally it is impossible to take it for granted, everything should be done step by step, Mu Lan knows this truth very well.
Plus Chen Zhirong accident, Chen Zhirong is now no time to take into account, but does not mean that Mu Zhantian will not doubt. Mu Zhantian put all the doubts on Mu Lan, Mu Lan does not matter, all people know that they do not agree.
But once Mu Zhantian couldn’t find any clues here, he would put his suspicions on everyone in the house.
Therefore, after Chen Zhirong’s accident, Mu Lan let Ji Niang pretend to be ill, and Mu Lan’s ability can naturally make Ji Niang’s illness lifelike.
Malingering is to avoid Mu Zhantian’s suspicion, but also to prepare for the future out of the house.
This opportunity will not be too far away.
On the other hand, the housekeeper sighed: “The Fourth Lady has no children, and naturally there is no one who can speak for her. But the eldest lady is kind-hearted, and she remembers the Fourth Lady.”. Otherwise, the Fourth Lady would be in the mansion, and apart from the initial scene, almost no one would be interested in her.
Mulan smiled and said, “Don’t judge a person by his appearance and current situation.”
This is neither salty nor light.
Chen, however, recognized the tone of Mu Lan’s words, and immediately nodded: “The slave knows. The slave remembers the eldest lady’s teachings.”
“All right, if you have nothing to do, you can go down first. I want to be alone for a while.” Mu Lan waved his hand, but did not say anything. House
keeper Chen turned respectfully.
As the housekeeper approached the door of the house, Mu Lan suddenly called to the housekeeper: “What’s going on with the imperial concubine?”
The empress hasn’t been able to morbidity these days. It looks normal. But he has never left the East Tower. Chen butler told Mu Lan truth about the situation.
Mu Lan nodded and asked, “Where is Dad? He seems to be coming back soon.”
“Wang Yeh will return to the mansion tomorrow.” Chen butler answered.
Mu Lan hum, Chen butler this just quietly retreated, Mu Lan soon looked down at the hands of the book, as if the outside world is not concerned about the situation and care.
After turning over the last page of the book, Mu Lan snorted. Everything in the
East Building was in Mu Lan’s expectation.
For Chen Zhirong, it is not that Mu Lan is soft-hearted, so that Chen Zhirong has not had any hallucinations for many days, but that Mu Lan calculates the appearance of Mu Zhantian, and this effect is that Mu Zhantian will fall into a cooling-off period these days when he returns.
The cooling-off period is enough to put everyone’s guard down.
Just like Chen Zhirong.
Now Chen Zhirong stays at home, not because he really compromises, but because he can’t control his own situation, coupled with his inner fear, so Chen Zhirong can’t leave unscrupulously.
And these days of calm, will let Chen Zhirong forget the fear before, grandly walk out of the East Building again, in an attempt to ask himself to return to control. That’s what
she’s waiting for.
After all, life in Mu Wang Fu is so boring, if even the last fun is gone, what fun is there in her life?
Besides, the draft is getting closer and closer, and Mu Lan’s time is running out. Before
entering the palace, Mu Lan must deal with everything in Mu Wang Fu, she wants to let Luo Xue die in peace.
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and eyes, hiding a deep meaning, with a faint gloom, and did not raise his head from the book for a long time.
……
When Hexiang came in with a small piece, she saw that Mulan was still in the same position as before. She quietly walked to Mulan’s side: “Young lady, eat something, and then the maidservant will accompany you out for a walk.”
“Is there anywhere to go in the palace?” Mu Lan smiled.
He Xiang nodded. “That’s right.”
The voice fell, and Hexiang put the thing in Mu Lan’s hand. Mu Lan took a bite of a cake and slightly twisted his brows: “Where did this come from?”
This cake is by no means the skill of the chef in the palace. He Xiang,
on the other hand, said mysteriously, “Guess who sent it?”
Mulan looked at Hexiang quietly. Hexiang coughed lightly and then said with a straight face, “It was the prince who sent someone from the palace to bring it to you.”
Li Shiyuan?
Mu Lan looked at the cake in his hand with a smile, and then put it aside at will, but did not touch it again. He Xiang was stunned and saw that Mu Lan’s face was a little heavy, and he dared not ask more questions. Finally, he could only stand beside Mu Lan with his tongue sticking out.
He Xiang can’t see through Mu Lan.
She thought that Mu Lan was concerned about Li Shiyuan, otherwise she would not take the initiative to get close to Li Shiyuan, but when facing Li Shiyu, Mu Lan seemed more relaxed, just lukewarm.
But Hexiang dared not ask more questions and stood quietly.
Instead, Mu Lan suddenly put down the book and stood up. “Go and have a look at the Fourth Lady.”
“Yes.” He Xiang answered.
Mu Lan did not say anything, walked out of the snow tower, toward the direction of the South Tower, to the South Tower on the way, Mu Lan saw Mu Zhantian.
Her footsteps stopped, and she did not avoid Mu’s eyes. “It’s been a long time,” she said with a half-smile.
Mu Zhantian looked at Mu Lan with cold eyes.
Mu Lan did not care at all, nor did he intend to continue talking with Mu Zhantian. He nodded slightly and continued to walk towards the South Tower.
Mu Zhantian narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Lan. “Mu Lan, why didn’t the king know that you were so close to the Fourth Lady?”
“Oh?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Mu Zhantian with a half-smile. “I have a very close relationship with the side imperial concubine, but my eldest brother’s Buddha is so blocked here that I can’t get in.”. Otherwise I would have gone to the East Building to have a look.
She was neither salty nor light, and in a few words she directly hit back at Mu Zhantian’s words.
Looking at Mu Zhantian standing motionless, Mu Lan chuckled and volunteered, “The Fourth Lady is not feeling well recently. How can I remember that the Fourth Lady has a good relationship with the side concubine? If that’s the case, why don’t you come with me to have a look so as not to get people talking?”
She is very open. How could
Mu Zhantian go with Mu Lan.
And these things are indeed what Chen Zhirong must go when he is in power.
Whether you like it or not, if something happens to the people in the house and there is a headache and fever, even if the relationship is cold in private, the surface should be harmonious.
Besides, the relationship between Chen Zhirong and Ji Niang has always been good.
It’s just that Mu Lan’s words seem to provoke Mu Zhantian.
Not to say swagger, but looking at Mu Zhantian’s eyes with a trace of sarcasm, clearly told Mu Zhantian, she is from the hands of Chen Zhirong to take away the power of the palace, so what.
“Are you proud?” Mu Zhantian looked at Mu Lan with a cold face.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and said, “Mu Zhantian, let me remind you that I’m not proud. I’m just taking back what I should take.” With
that, Mu Lan had already regained her indifference: Since the imperial concubine is not feeling well, and the eldest brother is the son of the imperial concubine, it is natural for him to stay in the East Building with her. I won’t bother.
Then Mu Lan nodded and walked fair and square toward the South Tower.
Hexiang hurriedly followed up.
Mu Zhantian looked at the figure of Mu Lan, the palm of the fist tightly clenched up, a mouth of anger pressure in the chest, how can not be dispersed.
It was not until the guard of the East Tower came out that he said with a slight tremor, “Young master, go in and have a look. The empress is getting excited again.” Only then did
Mu Zhantian withdraw his line of sight and walk quickly towards the East Building.
When Mu Zhantian saw Chen Zhirong, Chen Zhirong’s spirit was not as absent-minded as when he first came back, but the panic in his eyes was still there.
She looked at the open window. “There, there she is.”
Old Mammy protects Chen Zhirong, Chen Zhirong whole person already hid to the most ground position of the bed, shivering.
“Empress, the wind blew open the window, and there was no one there.” Old Mammy is appeasing Chen Zhirong.
Chen Chih-jung shook her head desperately. “No, I saw her. She looked at me with her eyes.”. She comes all day. Is she trying to kill me at night?
“No, no.” The old Mammy coaxed, but she also felt frightened.
Even in the East Building during the day, the old Mammy felt gloomy.
The feeling of fear became more and more obvious. This is what
Mu Zhantian saw when he hurried over. He looked sharply at every part of the East Building and ordered in a cold voice: “Is it a person or a ghost? Find it out for the king.”
“Yes.” The guards dare not neglect.
“Zhan Tian, she’s back.” Chen Zhirong grabbed Mu Zhantian’s hand and kept repeating.
In the past few days, Chen Zhirong did not see the ghost of Luo Xue coming to seek his life at night, but the panic of surprise was always there, and he could not disperse.
A little bit of wind and grass, Chen Zhirong has become cautious. The imperial doctors in the
palace came and went, and I don’t know how many tranquilizers they prescribed.
The effect is not obvious.
“Mother.” Mu Zhantian clasped Chen Zhirong’s shoulder. “Don’t be cranky. I won’t let you have anything to do.”. If you go on like this, the only person who will be proud of you will be Mu Lan. I will certainly get to the bottom of this matter.
As if Mu Zhantian’s words had appeased Chen Zhirong.
Chen Zhirong gradually calmed down.
“Besides, I haven’t seen a single thing you’ve said while I’ve been back. How could there be such a coincidence? So there must be a ghost in this matter.” Compared with Chen Zhirong, Mu Zhantian is much calmer.
Chen Zhirong nodded.
Dad will go home tomorrow. First of all, you have to take care of yourself, so that you can complain to Dad about your grievances, take back everything you have, and let Mulan be proud. I’m afraid we’re the only ones who will be sad in the back. Mu Zhantian calmly explained.
Chen Zhirong nodded.
After that, Mu Zhan released Chen Chih-jung and said, “Mammy, dress up the empress.”
“Yes.” The old Mammy answered respectfully. Inside
the East Building, it soon quieted down.
Mu Zhantian did not leave, shouting in the room, the old Mammy seriously dressed up Chen Zhirong, after the makeup, obviously much better than previous pale face.
“Who is it?” Mu Zhantian suddenly turned and looked sharply at the position of the window.
He almost moved to the window.
This sudden movement made Chen Zhirong hold the old Mammy’s hand tightly and dare not move. But Mu Zhantian went to the window, but did not see any movement at the bedside.
