Calmly Refuse
Phoenix Nirvana: The Empress Dowager’s
eyes once again fell on Mu Lan’s body.
You see, when Mu Lan came here today, he didn’t delay anything. Besides, if you walk around more, you will be familiar with the environment in the palace. In the future, the Empress Dowager will look for Mu Lan, and Mu Lan won’t get lost. Mu Lan’s voice is very nice, soft words.
She didn’t blame anyone, but she took the blame on herself.
The empress Dowager could not stop nodding her head. Then she looked at Qu Huachang and said, “All right, what the empress said is that there is no need to look for the bad luck of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for this big festival.”. The Ai family saw that Mu Lan had moved to the Fengxiang Palace, which was just in time, and the Ai family could see her every day, which was much more convenient. All the people
present were in an uproar.
Even Li Shiyu had some unexpected eyebrows, and when his eyes fell on Mu Lan, he brought a bit of inquiry.
Everyone you look at me, I look at you, Qu Huachang and Chen Zhirong’s face is even more ugly, you know, even Mei Ji did not live in the Fengxiang Palace, but in the side of the side hall, this is the closest position to the empress Dowager.
And now the queen mother actually let Mu Lan live in the Fengxiang Palace, this is how glorious. When
these concubines came to pay their respects to the queen mother, they were only in the outer hall.
A Mu Lan, is worth the queen mother so like? Just because Mu Lan made a good cup of tea? If not, this Mulan’s sophistication is too deep.
Qu Huachang sank, and when he looked at Mu Lan again, his eyes had become somewhat gloomy.
Chen Zhirong was a little dumbfounded, and even Mu Zhihua was too scared to say a word because of this change.
Mu Lan did not speak, but stood calmly.
“Mu Lan, what do you think of the meaning of the Ai family?” The queen mother’s voice fell, and looked at Mu Lan, not salty not light asked a sentence.
Mei Ji listens to the queen mother’s words, the eye light falls on Mu Lan’s body, did not have the trace to shake the head, then Mei Ji no longer looked at Mu Lan.
Mulan understood what Maggie meant in an instant.
This was originally the meaning of Mu Lan. You can’t guess the
queen mother’s mind.
On the surface, it seems that you are very beautiful, but there is a hidden mystery. Mu Lan knows very well that if he really agrees to live in Fengxiang Palace, he is not a knowledgeable person, but a person who is eager to be a snob, which is not good for Mu Lan.
Now for Mu Lan, where not to go, in the West Piandian, is the safest policy.
Don’t fight, just like the original Maggie.
This is the queen mother’s test of Mulan.
And Maggie is reminding Mulan.
Mu Lan looked at the queen mother and smiled calmly. Then he said, “Mu Lan thanks the queen mother for her kindness.”. But Mulan knows the importance. Mulan hasn’t learned too many rules. If he rashly goes to the Fengxiang Palace, he will only make a fool of himself and become bored.
The queen mother took a sip of tea, as if listening to what Mu Lan said.
What’s more, my adoptive mother has always taught Mu Lan to keep a low profile and be a man in the dust. Be peaceful in the world. Mu Lan thanked the queen mother for Mu Lan’s grievances. But Mulan didn’t feel anything unfair. It doesn’t matter where it is to Mulan. It’s just a place to sleep. Looking at the Empress Dowager with a smiling face,
Mu Lan really could not see the slightest bit of grievance: Besides, where the conditions are not good, it may make people more determined. Only when you are used to rich clothes and rich food, and change places once in a while, can you keep calm at all times.
The queen mother listened to Mu Lan’s words, but nodded.
Maggie was a little surprised, too.
Did not expect Mu Lan sixteen years old age, since can say this great truth. In any case, Gu Fu is a peddler, but at least did not treat Mu Lan, Mu Lan from childhood is not worried about food and clothing, slaves to serve, to Mu Wang Fu is.
But now in the palace, in the face of such a situation can still not be surprised.
This is the talent of a general.
And Mu Lan said, has walked to the front of the queen mother, voice and before the calm, but with a trace of coquetry: “So the queen mother, you don’t worry about Mu Lan, Mu Lan will be fine.”. I will also come to Fengxiang Temple on time every day to pay my respects to you.
“Well, well,” the queen mother finally opened her mouth, looking at Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes with a bit of a smile, “you this child, ah, really please the love of the family. All right, if you like it in the West Side Hall, then it’s in the West Side Hall. What’s missing? The Ai family has asked the slaves to prepare it for you. I can’t treat you badly.
“Mu Lan thanked the Empress Dowager Long for her kindness.” Mu Lan is blessed.
The queen mother smiled and nodded, feeling more and more like it.
This Mu Lan knows how to advance and retreat.
To know that today she said this, other people have long been impatient, even relying on their own likes, domineering is no longer a minority, but like Mu Lan so weak, is really rare.
The Empress Dowager did not continue to talk about Mu Lan, but looked at Qu Huachang and said, “Let’s do this first.”. But the Ministry of Internal Affairs is too unreliable to handle things now, and we’ll have to find a time to talk about it later.
“Yes, I remember.” Qu Huachang answered respectfully.
The queen mother nodded and did not go on. The atmosphere
in Fengxiang Palace changed quietly, and Qu Huachang naturally changed the topic and eased the atmosphere.
Chen Zhirong and Mu Zhihua were so frightened that they became quiet.
All of a sudden, also less active at the beginning, for fear of causing any trouble, but Qu Huachang looked at Chen Zhirong, Chen Zhirong suddenly remembered something.
Then it was Qu Huachang who opened her mouth and said softly, “Mother, there’s one more thing I forgot to say.”. This time Zhihua sent some fragrance to my concubine, and the effect was very good. Chih-hua also brought it to his mother.
“Oh?” The Empress Dowager looked at Mu Chih-hua, but could not see any change in her mood. “What is so strange? Let the Ai family have a look.”
Qu Huachang nodded at Mu Zhihua. Then Mu Zhihua stood up and walked toward the Empress Dowager. “Empress Dowager, it’s just some gadgets.”. Chih-hua knows that you’ve seen a lot of rare treasures. You may not like these things, but Chih-hua took a lot of effort to get them, and I hope you like them.
Mu Chih-hua’s voice was sweet, and he explained carefully, “This was brought back by my eldest brother from the Western Regions.”. As soon as the painting got better, I remembered the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, so I took advantage of this visit to the palace to bring them in.
Mu Zhihua put the thing on the brocade and gave it to the queen mother.
Maggie naturally took it over, looked at it, and said nothing.
That is, some women like the fragrance, from the Western Regions, is really rare, and these fragrances of Dazhou are also quite different.
Packed in a delicate crystal bottle, it is even more exciting.
“You have a heart.” The queen mother played with it and gave it to Maggie. Still standing with a smiling face,
Mu Chih-hua said, “If the Empress Dowager likes it, Chih-hua will be relieved.”
The queen mother laughed, but to Mu Zhihua to send things, but not salty not light, Mu Lan in the side watching, can not say is ridicule or other.
This is probably no one knows, the queen mother’s least favorite is the fragrance of roses.
And the fragrance sent by Mu Zhihua is rose fragrance.
As for why Mu Lan would know, because the small garden that Mu Lan passed before entering Fengxiang Palace was the most frequented by the queen mother, but that small garden had never been planted with roses, but with patches of roses.
This also happened in the last life.
Sent really is also rose fragrance, but Mu Zhihua was suddenly enlightened, but calmly put this matter directly on the body of Mu Lan, said that Mu Lan secretly changed his own things to the queen mother, plus the Queen of Heaven did not like Mu Lan at that time, naturally also believed such a statement. In the
previous life, Mu Zhihua had the blessing of Mei Ji, and he had nothing to fear.
I just didn’t expect that this life would be reversed.
“Empress Dowager, would you like to try?” Mu Zhihua opened his mouth ingratiatingly. Naturally,
these fragrances could not only be given to the queen mother and the queen, but also to the concubines in the palace. Chen Zhirong’s relationship has always been very good, so the people in the palace have always been pleasant to the people in the palace.
When the queen mother heard this, she frowned.
“Miss Yi.” Li Shi-yu suddenly said, “Did you give the Empress Dowager a rose fragrance?”
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows.
She had not yet had time to draw a trap for Mu Zhi, but this Li Shiyu added to the confusion. Is this helping yourself? Or something else?
But Mulan didn’t open his mouth.
She looked at Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu’s eyes slightly fell on Mu Lan’s body, soon took back, and then patiently waited for Mu Zhihua’s answer.
“Exactly.” Mu Zhihua answered.
Li Shiyu laughed again, “The Empress Dowager doesn’t like roses because she’s allergic to them.”. Previously, people from the Western Regions sent rose seeds, which were eventually planted in Imperial Garden, not in the small garden in front of Fengxiang Palace. So Miss Yi gave the queen mother the scent of roses without her knowledge?
This word did not say dead, look at Mu Zhihua, the banter in the expression is a few minutes more.
Mu Zhihua’s face changed again and again. Things that
have always been like fish in water, now here, seem to have become embarrassed and confused.
The queen mother is allergic to roses, and not many people know about it, because no one in the palace will send roses to the queen mother, and even fewer people can give the queen mother things face to face.
If Mu Zhihua could know in advance, killing Mu Zhihua would not have done such a thing as digging his own grave.
It happened that the queen mother did not expose face to face, but Li Shiyu exposed face to face.
Chen Zhirong’s face also changed, but did not expect Mu Zhihua to choose a rose fragrance, want to open his mouth to defend Mu Zhihua, Mu Lan smiled at the queen mother.
Empress Dowager, Mu Lan didn’t mean to think of Miss Yi. After all, Miss Yi’s mind was on the Empress Dowager, so she didn’t notice these details. If she had, Miss Yi would have made such a mistake.
Mu Lan said with a smile, as if defending Mu Zhihua.
Li Shiyuqi smiled lightly, as if no one had noticed, but Mu Lan knew very well that Li Shiyu had said this to himself.
In Fengxiang Palace, Li Shiyu said these two sentences.
But every sentence is directed at myself.
On the surface, it seems that it has nothing to do with Mulan, but in fact, it has paved the way for Mulan invisibly, just like now.
Mu Lan sank, eyelids slightly lifted
this person is how to know?
The Empress Dowager had some trust in Mulan’s words because of Mulan’s previous actions. She nodded, “What does Mulan mean? Does Mulan know?”
“It’s just an observation.” Mu Lan laughs, “Mu Lan walks all the way, did not see the thing of the rose.”. Although Mu Lan did not have much contact with the Empress Dowager, she also knew that the Empress Dowager would regularly receive gifts from others to show respect. But this time, the queen mother just looked at it and let Aunt Ji take it away, so Mulan dared to guess, and the words of the four royal Highnesses just confirmed this.
“You’re a far-sighted girl.” The Empress Dowager really laughed. “From what happened to Mei Ji to now, the Ai family has to admire you.”
“The Empress Dowager has made a mistake.” Mu Lan is still neither humble nor pushy. “Everyone in the Mu Mansion represents the Mu Mansion, so Mu Lan also hopes that the Empress Dowager will not blame her. Miss Yi is unintentional.”. After all, Miss Yi just wants to please the Empress Dowager, just like Mu Lan. How can
you please the mourners. The Ai family let you live in the Fengxiang Palace, but you didn’t like it any more, and you talked to the well-informed family. This, the queen mother is not any angry meaning, just teasing Mu Lan.
Mu Lan smiled softly. The atmosphere
in Fengxiang Palace was easily controlled by Mu Lan, and all the rhythms were taken away by Mu Lan.
Qu Huachang’s eyebrows twisted more tightly, looking at Chen Zhirong’s eyes more and more disapproving.
Chen Zhirong was also frightened. Even if
Mu Zhihua is not reconciled, but in the face of such a situation, Mu Zhihua can not do anything, as if a wrong step, step by step,
at least before this, Mu Zhihua has never met such a thing.
How can we not let Mu Zhihua hate Mu Lan deeply.
All the limelight has been stolen by Mu Lan, even the queen mother and queen who usually spoil themselves are beginning to be impatient, this is not a good thing.
Mu Zhihua forced himself to calm down. Looking at Mu Lan’s eyes
again, it seems more vicious, Mu Lan noticed, raised his eyebrows, and smiled at Mu Zhihua without changing his face.
Suddenly she looked at the empress Dowager and the empress. “The empress Dowager, the empress, when she saw Miss Yi’s things, suddenly Mu Lan felt embarrassed and took out the things she had prepared. It seemed a little shabby.”
“What have you prepared?” The queen mother was curious.
Even Qu Huachang looked at Mu Lan.
Today is not the queen mother’s birthday, Mu Lan sent something, if the queen mother likes, then in tomorrow’s birthday, Mu Lan will send out more strange things for the queen mother.
So many years, Qu Huachang is also to please the queen mother, did not really see what the queen mother is particularly interested in.
Today, Mu Lan attracted so much attention that Qu Huachang had to become curious.
Even Dai Zhi, who was quietly drinking tea nearby, couldn’t help but ask, “Did Mu Lan also prepare something for us?”
“Exactly.” Mu Lan smiled. “It’s just a little thought. I don’t know if I can please the empresses.”
“Take a look.” The queen mother spoke.
Mu Lan motioned to Hexiang, who immediately handed over a wooden box.
Mu Lan picked up the wooden box, and the queen mother could not help looking at it.
Wooden boxes are not small, after opening, there are delicate small handbags inside, the embroidery on them is amazing, but the concubines here are all people who have seen big scenes, naturally they will not have any reaction because of such small handbags.
Mu Lan did not mind, the first to go to the front of the empress Dowager, took out a handbag embroidered with roses, handed to the front of the empress Dowager, the smile on his face every minute is not annoying.
“The Empress Dowager likes roses, and Mulan prepared them specially. Of course, Mulan is not an unknown prophet, but he asked about them in advance. This is also thanks to the four royal Highnesses. The four royal Highnesses have been to Mulan’s palace, so Mulan asked a few questions.” Mu Lan took Li Shiyu out of the blue.
Li Shiyu quietly raised his eyebrows and smiled at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was calm to bear down, then continued to say: “So Mu Lan sent the queen mother things, are specially for people to mix the rose fragrance.”. This is a new Rouge and gouache shop in Kyoto. It’s not easy to buy things. Although it’s not famous, it’s easy to use. Mu Lan was lucky enough to get some, so he thought of offering flowers to the Empress Dowager.
Her words do not have any flattery, but they give people the feeling of spring breeze, which is very comfortable.
The queen mother took it with a smile.
Mei Ji opened it for the queen mother, and the Rouge and gouache inside were exposed, beautifully packaged, and corresponding to a rose flower, which seemed to make people move.
“Okay, okay.” The Empress Dowager was delighted. “The Ai family never lacked this kind of thing, but they had never seen anything so innovative. The Ai family loved it very much.”
Mulan smiled gently. “It’s all right if the Empress Dowager likes it.”
Then she went to the front of the crowd one by one and gave the things she had prepared to the concubines present.
“Empress, the empress is the mother of a country, and the peony is the best match. Elegant and elegant, just like the empress, people admire her.” Mu Lan’s flattering words are just right.
Obviously everyone will say flattery, but when it comes to Mu Lan’s mouth, people can not help but feel happy physically and mentally. Even
Qu Huachang could not help laughing out loud: “It was only then that I discovered that all the people in Prince Mu’s Mansion had their mouths smeared with honey.”
Mu Lan smiled faintly. Looking at Dai Zhi
again, we can not help but have a little more curiosity, after all, Mu Lan praised such words to Qu Huachang, Dai Zhi is not a favorite concubine, but Dai Zhi is weak by nature, the power of her mother’s family is enough to cover up the sky, the emperor also respects Dai Zhi.
What’s more, Dai Zhi also gave birth to a prince Li Shili.
This becomes a little more subtle.
Princess Diana, this is Jasmine for you. The fragrance of jasmine is refreshing to the nose, just like you, who are indifferent to life and show their ambition. No matter when and where you are, you always make people feel comfortable. Mu Lan said softly.
Do not take the enchanting bouquet to compare Dai Zhi, but use the light jasmine.
Even Dai Zhi, who is naturally aloof, couldn’t help chuckling: “Mu Lan, I suddenly understand why the Empress Dowager likes you.”
“I’m flattered by Princess Diana. Mulan didn’t do a lot of things well.” Mu Lan’s humility runs through it all the time.
Dai Zhi nodded.
Mu Lan nodded and motioned, one by one to send the prepared gifts, the concubines who got the gifts were smiling from ear to ear. Although
they were in the palace, they still got some of the things in the Rouge and gouache shop more or less.
Not to mention, the most important thing is that I can’t get it anymore.
And now, Mu Lan, like a juggler, took out a whole copy instead of the little things they had tried to get at that time.
Mu Lan could not be calmer in the face of such a discussion.
Li Shiyu did not speak all the way, just looking at Mu Lan, if you can observe carefully, Li Shiyu’s mouth is slightly raised, hands folded, eyes also have a trace of interest.
Until Mu Lan stood in front of Mu Zhihua.
Mu Zhihua’s eyes were full of resentment, but Mu Lan’s voice was very low, slightly blocking the view of outsiders. “Relax, Miss Yi, people who don’t know think you and I have a deep hatred.”
“You..” Mu Zhihuaqi couldn’t say a word.
“This is my gift to you. After all, when they sent it to you, they remembered Mu Lan, the first daughter of Prince Mu’s Mansion, but they didn’t remember that there was a Miss Yi in Prince Mu’s Mansion. So Miss Yi didn’t get it, and now it’s just right to make up for it.” Mu Lan is poking the sore spot of Mu Zhihua.
Mu Lan did it on purpose.
In the use of Mu Zhanxiao and Li Shiyu’s resources, Kyoto is called the daughter of the Ming Dynasty, and Mu Lan, a powerful family, personally sent a trial.
Only to Mu Wangfu, but not to Mu Zhi painting.
Mu Zhihua has little to talk about in this circle, which is a very embarrassing thing.
The most important thing is that who in Kyoto does not know that Miss Yi of Mu Wangfu is the first beauty in Kyoto. As a result, this small shop abruptly ignored this point and gave this Cheng Yaojin to Mu Lan.
“Do you think I want it?” Mu Zhihua gnashed his teeth.
“You can throw it away and try.” Mu Lan seemed to smile. “Throw it away in front of the queen mother and the queen. Are you refuting my face, or not giving the queen mother face?”? But I think you’ve had enough trouble today. A little more, and you’ve ruined your image, maybe it’s all right.
In a word, Mu Zhihua died down.
But when Chen Chih-jung and Qu Hua-chang both looked over, Mu Chih-hwa took over with an angry smile and pretended to be an orangutan: “Chih-hwa thanked her sister.”
“You’re welcome, Miss Yi.” Mulan smiled perfunctorily.
Then, Mu Lan took the empty wooden box and walked back to his position. He Xiang naturally took the wooden box and stood respectfully behind him.
The Fengxiang Palace is bustling with activity.
The women were all bowing their heads and chatting about what Mu Lan had sent. Compared with the atmosphere before, they were much happier.
Mu Lan is calm like nothing, seriously in the side to make tea for the queen mother.
The queen mother looked more and more happy.
Even Maggie couldn’t help looking at Mulan twice more. Immersed
in the palace for many years, Mei Ji is too clear, this cannibalism does not spit the deep palace, only Mu Lan this kind of disposition person, can go to the end, both sides have the source, who does not offend.
But those who can reach this ability are all stepping on human blood.
But this Mu-lan
Mei-chi kept her spirits down and said nothing more. The little eunuch outside the hall had already trotted in and knelt down respectfully before the Empress Dowager. “Tell the Empress Dowager that dinner is ready.”
The Empress Dowager nodded, and Maggie said, “Ladies and gentlemen, please move to dinner.” The people in the
temple got up one after another and walked toward the dining place.
The queen mother naturally walked in the front, but Mu Lan did not steal the limelight, still as if to come in general, quietly followed in the end, do not compete, and not because of the previous limelight, and appear complacent.
Even, Mu Lan also deliberately pulled away from the concubines in front of him.
She seems to be waiting for someone.
Until Li Shiyu’s figure followed up, Mu Lan’s footsteps completely stopped. Although
she did not know what Li Shiyu and Mu Lan were going to do, she was also smart enough to go ahead and did not dare to disturb the two people behind her.
“Wait for the king?” Li Shiyu stood with his hands on his back and asked Mu Lan.
Mu Lan calmly looked at Li Shiyu and said, “Thank you for your help today.”
Li Shiyu chuckled, not knowing whether he did not take it seriously or felt that Mu Lan was self-sentimental, but Mu Lan did not mean to continue the conversation, after all, the palace was full of walls with ears.
Caution is the best policy.
Then, Mu Lan nodded and turned to keep up with the people in front of him.
On the contrary, at the moment when Mu Lan turned around, Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth and called to Mu Lan: “Mu Lan, you knew you would enter the palace long ago. Why did you use Mu Zhantian’s resources to help you send things out in advance?” When
Mu Lan heard this, he turned around and looked at Li Shiyu. Then he said, “Things have never been used before. Who knows whether they are good or bad?”? Used, know good, still can’t get, is strange. The empresses in the palace have nothing, but are they so strange to a folk thing? Therefore, things should be valued when they are rare.
Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows.
Since things are precious when they are rare, it is the right time, the right place, and the right people for me to send them back. These people will help me spread the word, but are you still worried about business? Mulan was calm. “I thought I had already explained this problem to Your Highness.”
“Mulan, do you even dare to use the empress Dowager and the queen?” Li Shiyu chuckled and approached Mu Lan.
Mu Lan did not dodge.
She knew very well that Li Shiyu was a man who knew how to behave, especially in the palace, not to mention the concubines in front of him. Li Shiyu could not do anything to herself, so she naturally did not have to escape.
Besides, why should she be afraid of Li Shiyu.
Sure enough, Li Shiyu stopped at the half-man position in front of Mu Lan.
“You are beyond the king’s expectation. Aunt Ji, you can also coax her well.” Li Shiyu said calmly, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes but followed more and more sharp up.
Mulan smiled. “Maybe I’m a good person?”
“Are you good?” Li Shiyu seemed to have heard a joke. “Mu Lan, when you said that, didn’t you feel guilty?”
“What is a guilty conscience?” “I never feel guilty. I only know what to do and what not to do.”. “
At this point, Li Shiyu suddenly burst out laughing, and his hand, with its sharp knuckles, caught Mu Lan’s chin, regardless of the occasion. Mu Lan quieted down and reminded him quietly:” Your Highness, this is the Fengxiang Palace. ”
“So what?” Li Shiyu asked in reply.
Mu Lan: “… …”
She quietly looked at the man standing in front of her, suddenly felt that she and Li Shiyu are the same kind of people, for the purpose can not break the means.
“Coax the Empress Dowager to be happy. You are one step closer to the position of Crown Princess. Will the king say congratulations in advance?” Li Shiyu pretended to ask casually.
Mu Lan is not polite at all: “As long as the four royal Highnesses do not tamper with, the crown princess position can only be Mu Lan.”
“Oh?” Li Shi-yu wonders, “What can Ben Wang do?”
“Then ask Your Highness.” Mu Lan’s face did not change color. “Your Highness, Fengxiang Palace is a good place, but it’s definitely not a good place to chat. Mu Lan bet that in a short time, as long as Mu Lan hasn’t returned to the place where she should be, the Empress Dowager will certainly turn around and look for someone.”. Mu Lan wouldn’t mind being there if his royal Highness didn’t have to worry about anything.
It was part warning, part threat.
“You threaten me?” Li Shiyu asked in reply.
Mu Lan spread out his hands innocently. “Is there?”
Li Shiyu loosened Mu Lan, Mu Lan took a look at Li Shiyu but did not say anything, and then turned to keep up with the front of a group of women, as if never disappeared from the team in general.
Li Shiyu stood where he was, watching quietly.
Yung Chiu lowered his voice and said, “Your Highness, the prince has arrived.”
Li Shiyu originally wanted to leave, suddenly heard Rong Jiu’s words, eyes slightly narrowed, as if thoughtfully. But soon, Li Shi-yu came to his senses and said, “Then let’s go.”
Rong Jiu looked at Li Shiyu with some surprise.
Li Shiyu in the palace actually never like this kind of thing, not to mention, this is the queen mother’s dinner, are the women in the palace, although in previous years the emperor and princes will come, but also just come and go in a hurry.
Li Shiyu is even more low-key, almost silent.
Like today, it is really an accident.
And now Li Shiyu will still stay for dinner?
Rong Jiu looked at the figure of Li Shiyu, silent finally did not speak, quickly kept up with the pace of Li Shiyu. He separated Li Shiyu for many years, has never seen Li Shiyu emotional uncertainty, and this period of time, can affect Li Shiyu, there is really one person.
Mu Lan.
But since ancient times, beauties are always in trouble.
Not to mention that Mulan’s idea is well known.
This
Rong Jiu did not dare to guess, gradually he calmed himself down, and Li Shiyu has arrived at the dining place, Li Shiyuan’s figure appeared earlier than Li Shiyu, when he saw Li Shiyu, Li Shiyuan obviously appeared more unexpected.
“Is the fourth brother here too?” Li Shiyuan took the initiative to ask.
Li Shi-yu smiled. “I just heard my second brother coming, so I dared to stay.”
Li Shiyuan took a look at Li Shiyu, but he didn’t think much about it.
The female dependents in Fengxiang Palace are not only the Mu Wangfu family, but also other important officials in the court, who come every year. In a sense, they are also letting the princes choose a suitable object, which can be known in advance.
Li Shiyu is 27 years old this year, but he has never set up the imperial concubine. The people in the
natural palace are also thinking about it.
No matter whether Li Shiyu is favored or not, he is also a prince under the name of the empress, so Li Shiyu’s marriage will naturally be put on the agenda after Li Shiyuan is accused of marriage.
Otherwise, the queen is also afraid of falling into infamy.
So Li Shiyu appeared here, in Li Shiyuan’s view, there is nothing inappropriate, not to mention, today let Li Shiyu come over, was originally the queen instructed Li Shiyuan to do so. Among
these imperial relatives, we can always find a candidate for Princess Yu.
What’s more, this candidate, Qu Huachang also has a pretty good idea. No matter how indifferent
Li Shiyu was, he was not one of his own after all. Qu Huachang was careful to avoid any accidents.
“Sit down. It’s been a long time since you and my brother have been drinking like this.” Li Shi-yuan laughed out loud, then looked at the queen mother and said, “This is an opportunity given by the old Buddha.”
The Empress Dowager has always been fond of Li Shi-yuan: “All right, you’re the one who’s garrulous.”
Li Shiyuan soon enlivened the atmosphere.
And since Li Shiyuan sat down, Mu Zhihua’s eyes have not moved away from Li Shiyuan’s body, the kind of little woman’s charming appearance is obvious in front of everyone. People in the
know could not help but cover their mouths and snicker.
On the contrary, Li Shiyuan had hardly seen Mu Zhihua, but his eyes fell on Mu Lan intentionally or unintentionally, but Mu Lan sat beside the queen mother, Li Shiyuan could not do anything too out of line.
And Mu Lan also seemed to notice Li Shiyuan’s eyes, quietly looked over, and then politely nodded, but only so, in addition to the initial greeting, Mu Lan and Li Shiyuan did not say a word more.
On the contrary, Li Shiyu never looked at Mu Lan in the whole process, as if Mu Lan did not exist at all. After
dinner, the queen mother’s habit has always been to drink a cup of green tea.
Naturally, the matter of making tea fell on Mu Lan.
Mei Chi prepares something for Mu Lan and says softly, “Miss Mu, this is the green tea after dinner. It’s made to get rid of the greasiness, so it’s slightly different from the way it was brewed before, and the kind of tea is also different.”
Maggie is explaining in detail.
Mulan listened carefully, then nodded and motioned to look at Mei Ji: “Mulan thanks for Aunt Ji’s teaching.” I
don’t deserve it. It is Miss Mu who is gifted and intelligent. Maggie nodded and then stepped aside.
Mu Lan carefully according to the meaning of Mei Ji, to the queen mother made tea, around the people chatting softly, also did not pay too much attention to Mu Lan side of every move.
Mu Zhihua’s mind has been attracted by Li Shiyuan, just want to please Li Shiyuan, naturally will not care what Mu Lan did.
It was Li Shi-yuan who slightly twisted his eyebrows and looked at Mu Lan. “Can Miss Mu still make tea?”
“Isn’t it?” Mu Chih-hua suddenly opens his mouth and says, “My sister’s tea art has made the Empress Dowager rave about it, not to mention how great it is.” The sarcasm in
these words can be heard by a normal person.
Li Shiyuan looked at Mu Zhihua and said, “It’s better to learn from your sister. After all, what the Empress Dowager likes is still very important in the palace, eh?”
Mu Zhihua was said by Li Shiyuan to flatten his mouth, unspeakable grievance.
In the past, Li Shiyuan would never say in public that Mu Zhihua was not, but would coax Mu Zhihua. Everyone knew that Mu Zhihua was held in the palm of Li Shiyuan’s hand, but it seemed that in a short time, the wind direction had changed.
Everyone looked at each other, but they were smart enough not to open their mouths.
Although Mu Zhihua and Li Shiyuan’s marriage is well known, but before the imperial edict did not come down, everything will be variable, and now in
such a situation, everyone present is a fine person, where can not see, but no one punctured it.
But after Li Shiyuan finished training Mu Zhihua, he did not shy away from looking at Mu Lan: “Miss Mu still knows how to make tea?”? Being liked by the Empress Dowager proves that Miss Mu’s tea is very good. I wonder if the king will be lucky enough to taste it today?
The voice fell, and everyone’s eyes turned to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan paused as he poured the tea. Then he calmly looked at Li Shiyuan and said, “Mu Lan is lucky to make tea for the crown prince, but Mu Lan is afraid that he will not be able to touch the crown prince’s preferences and accidentally offend the crown prince.”
“Even if you offend him, the king will not blame you.” Li Shiyuan is generous.
Mu Lan had already poured eight bowls of tea, and then respectfully handed it to the Empress Dowager, “Empress, would you like to try this green tea?”? If it’s not good, Mu Lan will go back and ask Aunt Chi for advice.
Too nodded, look at the quality of the tea is satisfied enough, she took over with a smile, a thin drink, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Mu Lan stood humbly and did not claim credit.
“It’s a great craft.” The Empress Dowager said approvingly, “It took many years for Maggie to do what she is doing now, and you are not to be underestimated at such a young age.”
“Thank you for the Queen Mother’s praise.” Mulan Fu Fu body, and then took the queen mother finished drinking the teacup. Only then did
the Empress Dowager say slowly, “In this palace, besides the sad family and the happy tea, the prince has also studied the art of tea.”. Now that the prince has opened his mouth, you can try if you don’t want to let Mulan go.
Mulan laughed. “Mulan obeys.”
Then Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyuan and said, “I don’t know what kind of tea prince likes. Mu Lan has a good goal.”
“Miss Mu.” Li Shiyuan called Mu Lan, “You can guess the queen mother’s preferences, but can’t you guess the king’s preferences?”? If you guess right, the king will be rewarded; if you guess wrong, the king will not be punished.
“Then Mu Lan is more respectful than obedient.” Mu Lan nodded and motioned that his eyes did not stay on Li Shiyuan for one more second.
Last life, she Li Shiyuan’s husband and wife for many years, how can not be clear about Li Shiyuan’s preferences.
She spent her whole life trying to please everyone in the palace, but even so, she didn’t end well.
But now this enemy is standing in front of him, Mu Lan thought she would be impulsive, but she never thought that at this moment she could calm down to such a point.
Live again, brainless things, Mu Lan naturally will not do.
For the enemy, it would be a pity to let him die with a knife, where can she repay the pain she has suffered. The opportunity of the
previous life, like a sharp blade, pierced Mu Lan’s heart little by little, and let the blood flow.
But on the surface, she did not move.
Only the hands that made tea trembled slightly, but only for a moment, they calmed down.
After re-brewing the tea, Mu Lan brought it to Li Shiyuan and said, “Your Royal Highness, please taste it.”
Li Shiyuan’s eyes have never left Mu Lan, naked fall on her body, Li Shiyuan is very clear why he will appear here today, but because he knows Mu Lan is here.
From Mu Wangfu, Li Shiyuan could not expel Mu Lan’s face from his mind.
The more you can’t get, the more restless you are.
At the moment of the result of the teacup, Li Shiyuan’s fingers touched Mu Lan. At the moment when their skin was close to each other, Li Shiyuan was molesting Mu Lan, but Mu Lan calmly took back his hand, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, and stood calmly in place.
Li Shiyuan did not say much, but quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Then, Li Shiyuan’s eyes flashed a trace of surprise.
Mu Lan can please the queen mother, in Li Shiyuan’s view is not surprising.
Mulan has taken the lead, with the support of Meiji, with the support of Meiji, Mulan will naturally save a lot of time and energy.
But Li Shiyuan can be sure that Mu Lan has never touched him before, why Mu Lan chose tea at will, but can easily let Li Shiyuan feel satisfied.
Even this brewing method is Li Shiyuan’s favorite heat and temperature to brew tea.
Apart from Li Shiyuan, few people know that what Li Shiyuan loves is the first tea, which is light but not too strong.
But Mu Lan can grasp it just right.
Is it a coincidence?
Or Mu Lan has long been familiar with the heart?
If it’s the latter?
Li Shiyuan sank and drank the tea in silence. Then he put down his teacup and said, “Empress Dowager, Miss Mu deserves a big reward.” The smile on the
queen mother’s face deepened a little and kept nodding.
Mulan said lightly, “Mulan thanks the prince for his praise.”
Li Shi-yuan, however, was generous: “Give Miss Mu the pair of pearls from the South China Sea in the East Palace.” The slave on
one side immediately took the order to do it.
Mu Zhihua’s face was even more surprised.
That pair of South China Sea pearls, only once in hundreds of years, Mu Zhihua did not know how long to beg, Li Shiyuan did not give, said to be left to the queen mother’s birthday.
As a result, now Li Shiyuan has generously given Mu Lan, Mu Zhihua can not be reconciled.
Even Mu Lan was a little surprised.
This pair of precious pearls, Mu Lan is not unaware, Li Shiyuan has always been a favorite, even if Mu Lan later married into the East Palace, this pair of pearls is still Li Shiyuan’s collection, not to anyone.
Mu Zhihua has made a lot of trouble, and now?
Mu Lan bowed his head and chuckled. Outsiders looked happy, but Mu Lan was particularly sarcastic.
You know, in her last life, she just accidentally touched this pair of pearls and was almost killed by Li Shiyuan, but now, Li Shiyuan has generously given the pearls to himself.
This move, Mu Lan is not stupid, naturally understand the meaning of Li Shiyuan under such a move.
Li Shiyuan told Mu Lan clearly that he was determined to win.
“Does the prince look at Miss Mu differently?” Qu Huachang suddenly asked Li Shiyuan.
Li Shiyuan turned to look at Qu Huachang and said, “Mother, pearls match beauties, don’t they?”? It happened that Miss Mu had won the king’s favor, and the king gave her away. Isn’t that nice?
Qu Huachang chuckled and looked at Mu Lan again. “Miss Mu, you really make me sit up and take notice.”
The queen mother nodded and looked thoughtful.
Only Mu Lan face does not change color, carrying the teacup has retreated to a safe position, after Li Shiyu’s side, Mu Lan is clearly feeling that Li Shiyu’s hand hooked his fingertips.
It was just a moment, and the man let go.
Mu Lan looked at the past very lightly.
Li Shiyu did not seem to see it, but that Yu Guang always seemed thoughtful.
Then, Mu Lan calmly returned to the original position. It’s like it never happened
before.
On the contrary, Chen Zhirong saw such a picture, more and more anxious up, and then listen to the words of Qu Huachang, has not dared to be so sure whether things are still in accordance with their own ideas.
She looked at Qu Huachang as if she were asking something.
This is actually originally Chen Zhirong and Qu Huachang discussed, in front of the queen mother mentioned the marriage, can not say why, although it is a sure thing, but Chen Zhirong always feel that there will be variables, so Chen Zhirong has been a little nervous until now.
Not to mention that so many things have happened since we entered Fengxiang Palace today.
Originally to Mu Zhihua queen mother, now all the eyes are almost on the body of Mu Lan, even the queen, have become some let Chen Zhirong confused.
Even Li Shiyuan did not pay attention to Mu Zhi’s painting all the way. When everything was
added up, the feeling of fear and uneasiness swallowed Chen Zhirong a little bit, and she was restless. Not to mention
Mu Zhi’s paintings.
That’s a woman’s instinct.
Intuitively know that something has changed, the man who once held himself in the palm of his hand, now all eyes are on other women.
This also means that everything that originally belongs to you will become a phantom and be completely replaced by others.
Mu Zhihua is more anxious, but in such an occasion, she can not show anything, in addition to calm, there is no other way.
Mu Zhihua looked at Li Shiyuan with a trace of complaint in his eyes.
Just such a complaint, Li Shiyuan is also unaware.
His seriousness is only left to Mulan. Qu Huachang, who had been
sitting all the time, did not fail to see Chen Zhirong’s eyes, which sank, and she comforted Chen Zhirong with her eyes, as if to tell her not to worry.
Chen Zhirong did not dare to urge. The people at the
table were talking happily.
Qu Huachang had been looking for a good opportunity before she said with a smile, “Mother, you can see how much time has passed. In the blink of an eye, Shi-yuan and Shi-yu are so old.”
The Empress Dowager nodded, but did not object to what Qu Huachang had said: “Yes, you are so old.”
But I was very worried, and it happened that neither of them would set up their concubines. You see, Shi-yuan was the elder brother, and Shi-yuan didn’t have a concubine, so Yu followed suit. Qu Huachang casually mentioned these topics. “Mother, you are helping my concubine to persuade Shiyuan. My concubine and the emperor are all worried.”
“The young and the old are in order.” The Empress Dowager nodded and then looked at Li Shiyuan. “Prince, you don’t set up your concubine, but you have made a very bad start between brothers.”
Li Shiyuan smiled, bowed his head and drank tea quietly, without responding to the questions of the queen mother and the queen.
The queen mother is not in a hurry, looking at Li Shiyuan, eyes from time to time fell on the body of Mu Zhihua, Mu Zhihua some shy, head down, cheeks red, all the way red to the ears.
See the queen mother such a reaction, Chen Zhirong just follow a little peace of mind.
She touched Mu Zhihua under the table to remind him.
Mu Zhihua kept his head down.
Mu Lan smiles hypocritically, looks at in front of this scene, also does not have too big reaction, as if all this has nothing to do with her.
But one side of Li Shiyu occasionally put the line of sight on Mu Lan’s body, but soon no trace of the back, as if nothing had happened.
Mu Lan knew that Li Shiyu was looking at himself.
Mu Lan is more clear, all people are waiting for Li Shiyuan to open his mouth, but Li Shiyuan sits motionless. Seeing this,
Qu Huachang said with a smile, “According to this palace, the prince is not young. Why don’t you take this opportunity to find a concubine for yourself?”? So that the emperor will not talk about this with this palace every day.
Li Shiyuan looked at Qu Huachang, but still had no intention of making a statement.
The Empress Dowager and Qu Huachang chimed in: “Prince, the Ai family is looking at it. Chih-hua is very good. She has known you since she was a child, and the Ai family grew up watching Chih-hua. What do you think?”.
This is already clear. The eyes of
Qu Huachang and the concubines also fell on Li Shiyuan.
Mu Lan listened and could not help laughing sarcastically.
In the previous life, she was not Li Shiyuan’s confidante, but she was definitely the one who knew Li Shiyuan best, because Mu Lan was desperate to understand the dribs and drabs of this person, from temper to personality to everything she liked on weekdays.
From eating to wearing to using, Mu Lan noticed everything that could be noticed.
Even to the end, Li Shiyuan a look, Mu Lan can understand his meaning, even do not need Li Shiyuan to say more.
Now that I think about it, Mu Lan feels that everything in his last life is a joke.
But also because of this understanding, Mu Lan knew very clearly that what Li Shiyuan hated most was that someone was pressing him and forcing him to make any decision.
Because Mu Lan has suffered such a crime.
Under the instigation of Mu Zhihua, Mu Lan pestered Li Shiyuan for an insignificant event and insisted on getting an answer. The result was that Li Shiyuan slapped Mu Lan in the face without hesitation, and then thoroughly let Mu Lan face the wall in the East Palace and not allow him to leave the East Palace.
At that time, Li Shiyuan was still sentimentally attached to Mu Lan’s beauty.
So Mu Zhihua worried, worried that Mu Lan took away Li Shiyuan’s favor, will try their best to make trouble for Mu Lan.
Later, Mu Lan firmly remembered that Li Shiyuan never liked to be forced.
This is the pride and decency of being the prince of Dazhou.
Only Li Shiyuan can force people, not someone can force Li Shiyuan.
But Mu Lan obviously did not expect that in this life, the style of painting was completely changed, forcing people to become Mu Zhi paintings, not themselves.
She was the one who watched the play.
Like a smile, very thin.
Mu Lan is not a good person, after rebirth, her hands are stained with a human life, stepping on the blood step by step up, and how can anyone be soft-hearted to anything.
Not to mention, sitting in front of her is still her old enemy.
Sure enough, as Mu Lan thought, Li Shiyuan’s eyebrows twisted up, looking at the queen mother and Qu Huachang, although respectful, but the tone is somewhat gloomy.
“Back to the words of the Empress Dowager and her mother, I don’t have the idea of setting up a concubine for the time being.” Li Shi-yuan refused outright. “If I had the idea of setting up a concubine, I would naturally report it to my father and ask him to issue a decree.” As soon
as this word comes out, the queen mother only slightly twists the eyebrow, finally also did not say anything.
Qu Huachang was also a little surprised.
Chen Zhirong and Mu Zhihua’s face was completely changed, and they could hardly believe what they had heard. Under such circumstances, they thought everything was natural.
As a result
, Li Shiyuan finished, but did not mean to go on.
Li Shiyu quietly took a look at Mu Lan, Mu Lan also did not avoid Li Shiyu’s eyes, like a smile, the teacup in the hands gently raised, as if in the air and Li Shiyu touched a cup, and so as if nothing had happened to drink the tea in the teacup.
Li Shiyu has an illusion.
It seems that everything is under the control of Mulan.
Li Shiyu sank, lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and said nothing.
He also took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened.
It took the Empress Dowager a long time to open her eyebrows and look at Li Shiyuan. “Does the prince have a suitable candidate in mind?” She asked.
Li Shi-yuan quieted down for a moment, twirling his thumb around his fingers, and then replied, not quite seriously: “Not yet.”
This is like a basin of cold water, completely doused all the illusions of Mu Zhihua.
Her whole body trembled.
Had it not been for Chen Zhirong’s control of Mu Zhihua, Mu Zhihua would not have known how much he could lose his temper, but that kind of trance, Chen Zhirong also saw clearly.
She lowered her voice and said, “Chih-hua, calm down. The more you lose your temper, the more you make people laugh.”
“Niang” Mu Chih-hua’s voice trembled a little.
“I’ll take it up with the empress. She’s on our side.” Chen Zhirong is appeasing Mu Zhihua.
Mu Zhihua nodded passively, not daring to say anything more.
This is the end of the story.
The queen mother and Qu Huachang also obviously know Li Shiyuan’s temper, did not continue to ask more, do not know because of being questioned in public such a thing, Li Shiyuan some impatience, or other reasons, finally we did not stay in Fengxiang Palace, soon got up and left.
The queen mother is also a little tired, Mei Ji helps the queen mother to go back to rest.
Mu Lan is standing quietly, watching Mei Ji send the queen mother to leave, then turned around and went out, in the face of the original lively Fengxiang Palace, Mu Lan looked around, but did not say anything, footsteps have not been smart, calm and calm.
…… Outside
the Fengxiang Palace, Li Shiyuan was walking very fast, and Mu Zhihua was chasing him very hard. At the corner, Mu Zhihua caught up with Li Shiyuan and said, “Your Royal Highness.”
Li Shiyuan stopped, his eyes fell on Mu Zhihua’s body, but he became more and more fierce. The face painted by
Mu Zhi is Li Shiyuan’s favorite.
Charming and charming, soft and gentle when speaking, even in bed to please you, all the sense of propriety is very good, do not let people have any unhappy. The amorous feelings in the
eyebrows and eyes, the delicate facial features, do not look at the waist of Yingying, no matter where it is, it makes men palpitate.
But now Li Shiyuan is beginning to get tired of this face.
Compared with Mu Zhihua’s gentleness, he is more greedy for the uncertain posture in Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes. He is arrogant, but occasionally softens his attitude, which makes you feel numb to the bone.
It’s like I’ve never felt like this before.
Every night, when Li Shiyuan falls asleep, no matter who is sleeping beside him, what appears in his mind is the figure of Mu Zhihua. Drives Li Shiyuan crazy
little by little.
It was an urge to get the woman.
In such an idea, the more he saw Mu Zhihua, the more Li Shiyuan felt impatient, and when Mu Zhihua put his hand on Li Shiyuan’s arm, his eyebrows and eyes became more and more cold and ruthless.
“Your Highness” Mu Zhihua was a little scared, but his voice was still soft.
“Miss Mu, this is outside the Feng-hsiang Palace. You still have to pay attention to your manners and decency.” Li Shiyuan reminded Mu Zhihua in a cold voice.
And Mu Zhihua’s hand on Li Shiyuan’s arm was naturally pulled down by Li Shiyuan impolitely, without the slightest pity.
Mu Zhihua looked at Li Shiyuan almost in amazement, unable to believe that such a thing would happen to him one day.
Her eyes were red, and she said pitifully, “Prince, you..” You can’t treat Chih-hua like this. You said you would definitely make Chih-hua concubine.
This, the implication is forced, forced Li Shiyuan to an answer. Li Shiyuan
had promised Mu Zhihua countless times when they were whispering, but now he suddenly turned against him.
Mu Zhihua can’t afford it.
In that case, she knew only too well that she would only be a joke.
A complete joke.
“Mu Chih-hua, don’t force the king to erase the last bit of affection he had for you.” The impatience in Li Shiyuan’s eyes has become more and more obvious.
“Your Highness, did you take a fancy to Mulan and find her fresh? That’s why you want to leave me behind and make Mulan your concubine. Mulan is not what you think at all. Mulan’s entry into the East Palace will only bring trouble to Your Highness.”
Mu Zhihua asked directly, but did not shout out. When
Li Shiyuan’s thoughts were pierced by Mu Zhihua, he gave a sneer and reached out his hand and pinched Mu Zhihua’s chin. “Mu Zhihua, it’s the king’s business who the king wants to make the official concubine. If you don’t offend the king again, you may still have the position of a side concubine. If you offend the king, you can only live alone in the palace of the king all your life.”
Mu Zhihua’s face changed greatly. This is indeed the case
.
Mu Lan also threatened Mu Zhihua in this way.
Even if Mu Zhihua and Li Shiyuan did not surface, but the whole Kyoto who does not know Mu Zhihua is Li Shiyuan’s woman, the prince’s woman, who dares to marry?
Naturally, the prince does not want people, can only be lonely for life.
Mu Lan desperately shook his head, still pulling Li Shiyuan’s hand, unspeakable grievance and panic. Li Shiyuan’s eyes did not have a trace of pity for the jade.
At this time, Mu Lan suddenly appeared, saw such a picture, Mu Lan seemed to see nothing, quiet and calm nod, even the eyes did not give more to two people.
Also is almost in the Mu Lan appears the first time, Li Shiyuan’s line of sight already looked in the past, the attention completely on Mu Lan’s body.
But soon, Li Shiyuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Because he saw Li Shiyu come out, but Mu Lan naturally walked in the direction of Li Shiyu, as if they were particularly familiar with each other. Seeing this,
Mu Zhihua couldn’t help saying, “Your Highness, have you seen it?”? This is the person you are thinking about. Don’t you know who Mu Lan is? Even if your Highness doesn’t believe what I say, your Highness will believe it now.
Mu Zhihua naturally said a lot about Mu Lan.
Just as if no matter what she said to Li Shiyuan, all the words seemed to be hit on the cotton, a little strength is not used, there is no use.
Li Shiyuan is perfunctory, and he is determined to be with Mu Lan.
Only then did Mu Zhihua feel more and more unwilling.
And now it is not easy to get all the stolen goods, how can Mu Zhihua give up.
Li Shi-yuan looked at Mu Chih-hua with a sneer, then suddenly pulled Mu Chih-hua’s hand out heavily and ordered the bodyguard beside him: “Take Miss Mu back to the East Hall.”
“Yes.” The guards dare not neglect.
He immediately stepped forward and took Mu Zhihua away. Mu Zhihua was not reconciled, but he knew very well that it was not good for him to go on like this. Finally, she pressed her temper and followed the bodyguard passively.
But when her eyes looked at Mu Lan not far away again, that kind of hate, a burst of rolling up, almost in an instant to completely devour Mu Lan.
She is not reconciled, not at all.
……
At the same time
, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan, who was walking towards him on his own initiative. Although his footsteps stopped, his inner vigilance was no less.
Mu Lan leisurely walked up to Li Shiyu and said, “I’ve seen Your Highness.”
“Now it’s the red man in front of the Empress Dowager. When he sees the king saluting, the king will have to think about it.” Li Shiyu said lukewarm.
Mu Lan also does not care about Li Shiyu’s taunt, then calmly stood up, two people are very close.
In other words, this is the first time that Mu Lan was so close to Li Shiyu when he was outside, as if he did not shy away from anything.
Li Shiyu’s eyes looked at Li Shiyuan not far away without any trace.
He bowed his head and lowered his voice. “Mulan, are you going to use Ben Wang now?”
“Use?” Mulan looked up with a half-smile. “Give Mulan ten guts, and Mulan won’t dare to take advantage of His Royal Highness Four. If he takes advantage of His Royal Highness Four, Mulan may die under His Royal Highness Four’s sword one day.”
Li Shiyu chuckled, not knowing whether he was canceling Mu Lan’s words or not.
But Mu Lan did not mind, looking at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu suddenly lowered his voice: “Mu Lan, do you know what price you have to pay to use this king?”
Mulan raised his eyebrows. “Didn’t Your Highness get any benefit from me?”
Li Shiyu quieted down and laughed. “What did the king get from you?”
Mulan’s face did not change. “Your Highness knows very well.”
This, Mu Lan said some gloomy, but Li Shiyu did not seem to mind, looking at Mu Lan, voice did not change: “Lan son, you know what the king wants.”
Mu Lan ignored Li Shiyu.
The eyes looked at Li Shiyu without any emotional ups and downs.
Neither hot nor cold, neither salty nor light.
Two people are still very close, close enough to clearly smell each other’s breath, that faint sandalwood fragrance came, Mu Lan’s eyebrows slightly twisted, but unexpectedly not so exclusive.
Maybe it’s a habit?
Accustomed to every late at night, Li Shiyu appeared in the snow building, two people each occupy a position, who did not disturb who, occasionally open a few words, are also shops.
However, the smell of sandalwood in the house can not be dispersed for a long time.
Or rather, it never disappeared.
“Thinking about what?” Li Shiyu suddenly asked Mu Lan.
Mulan came to his senses: “It’s nothing.”
“You’re using the king to provoke the prince. You’re not afraid to drag the king into the water. Don’t forget, you and the king are grasshoppers in the same boat. The king is going into the water, and it won’t do you any good.” What
Li Shiyu said is not very serious.
Mu Lan, oh.
Li Shi-yu suddenly pulled away, but only two of them could hear his low voice clearly. “The prince is coming.” Of
course Mulan knows.
She did not speak, but looked at Li Shiyu indifferently.
Li Shiyu had retreated to a safe distance, and his eyes turned to Li Shiyuan, who was not far away. He calmly called out, “I’ve seen my second brother.”
Li Shi-yuan looked at Li Shi-yu for a long time before nodding his head. “Look,” he said casually, “is the fourth brother very familiar with Miss Mu?”
“Never.” Li Shiyu directly denied it.
On the contrary, it was Mu Lan who stood where he was without saying a word. When he saw Li Shiyuan, he said, “Mu Lan has seen the prince. His Highness is a thousand years old.”
Li Shiyuan listened to Mu Lan’s words, but gently helped Mu Lan up: “Miss Mu, don’t mention it.”
Holding Mu Lan’s hand as if he didn’t want to let go.
Mu Lan did not say much, but pulled his hand out without any trace, and then naturally kept a distance from Li Shiyuan.
A safe distance.
And before the time of Li Shiyu is completely different, as if Li Shiyuan this person is not interested in general, even Li Shiyu can not help but look at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan, however, did not seem to notice Li Shiyu’s eyes: “Your Royal Highness, if it’s all right, Mu Lan will retire first.”
Li Shiyu always stood quietly. Just then
, Yung Chiu hurried over, and when he saw Li Shiyuan, he was slightly stupefied. He immediately paid his respects without changing his face: “My subordinates have seen the prince.”
Li Shi-yuan is a little impatient: “Get up.”
Rong Jiu immediately got up and turned to look at Li Shiyu. “Your Highness, the emperor is looking for you.”
Li Shiyu nodded.
Rong Jiu did not evade anything and said it in front of Li Shiyuan. And Mu Lan has no intention of eavesdropping here, very calmly turned to go.
Instead, Li Shi-yuan suddenly reached out and clasped Mu Lan’s hand. “Stop.”
Mu Lan quieted down, said nothing, and stopped.
But Li Shiyuan took Mu Lan’s hand and did not let go, Mu Lan’s eyebrows twisted up, faintly impatient, but such impatience, Mu Lan hid very well.
But Li Shiyu noticed it.
Mu Lan once again successfully overturned Li Shiyu’s hypothesis, he thought Mu Lan would follow the trend, but Mu Lan was unusually cold in the face of Li Shiyuan, but the disgust in his eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden.
Is this a refusal to meet?
Li Shiyu sank and also restrained his emotions.
Instead, Li Shiyuan asked, “What did you do when your father asked you to?”
Li Shiyu answered lightly, “I’m still looking for it.”. The ghost hand has been missing for ten years, and it will be found from time to time. If there is any news, there is absolutely no place for the ghost hand to hide.
“Whatever it takes, find someone.” Li Shiyuan ordered in a low voice.
“My brother knows.” Li Shiyu answered.
Li Shiyuan nodded, this just did not say what, Li Shiyu also did not continue to stay in place more, with Rong Jiu hurried toward the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Mu Lan said nothing all the way.
But Li Shiyuan and Li Shiyu’s dialogue, Mu Lan still listens in the heart.
Now the emperor is already looking for the ghost hand, almost at the same time in the last life, which proves that the emperor’s health is getting worse and worse. In half a year, the emperor will die.
Her plan with Feng Changyang can also go smoothly. The purpose of
letting Feng Changyang enter the palace is not to save the emperor, but to find a helper for himself, that’s all. Mu Lan did not want to change the fate of
today’s rise, nor did he want to go against the sky.
What’s more, when the Li family was beheaded, this will is today’s ascension, why should Mu Lan save an enemy?
But Li Shiyuan lowers the head, sees Mu Lan not to say a word the appearance, the surface is weak, but actually follows more and more likes.
Should not ask things, do not ask, quietly stay in the palace, this is what Li Shiyuan likes.
“Do you live in the West Side Hall?” Li Shiyuan suddenly opened his mouth.
Mu Lan hum. Then
Li Shiyuan added, “It’s just right. The king will send you back.” Only then did
Mu Lan look up at Li Shiyuan with a half-smile. Then he coldly refused, “I dare not bother your Highness to send Mu Lan back in person.”. Not to mention the distance to the West Side Hall, it passes through the place where the Cold Palace is located, which is not in line with your Highness’s destiny. Mu Lan can go back by himself.
Said, Mu Lan has also pulled his hand out of Li Shiyuan’s hand, quietly looking at Li Shiyuan, eyebrows and eyes without a trace of a joke.
Not to mention Jiao Chen.
These words seem to be simply expressing their thoughts and opinions.
Li Shiyuan’s eyebrows and eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Mu Lan, as if the woman in front of him did not know what was good or bad, but he was reluctant to let go.
“Mulan, do you know who you are rejecting?” Li Shiyuan’s face sank and asked Mu Lan.
Mulan is calm: “Your Royal Highness, the present prince.”
“How dare you say that.” With a sneer, Li Shi-yuan reached out his hand and hooked Mu Lan under the chin. “Are you and Ben Wang still trying to refuse?”
Mulan looked innocent and said, “Your Highness, Mulan doesn’t understand.”
“Don’t understand?” Li Shiyuan’s eyes fell on Mu Lan for a moment, and the meaning of plunder became obvious. “Mu Lan, you can chat with your fourth brother in full swing, and when you face the king, you have a cold face.”. But you have a clear grasp of the king’s preferences. You should talk to the king. If you don’t want to refuse, what is it?
Mu Lan listened quietly and suddenly chuckled and looked at Li Shiyuan.
Such a smile, although not up to the fundus, but it is easy to take away everyone’s line of sight.
It seems that in the dark night, all the stars have lost their light, leaving only Mu Lan, amazing time.
Li Shiyuan was also in a trance.
He suddenly lowered his head and the tip of his nose touched the tip of Mulan’s nose. The breath of
two people is very close.
Mu Lan calmed down and naturally pushed Li Shiyuan away: “Your Royal Highness, please respect yourself.”
This is a refusal between the lines.
In fact, Mu Lan can not deny that every man in the Li family is born good-looking, tall and straight, handsome, not to mention the status of Li Shiyuan today, there are countless women who climb the fire.
More than a Mu Zhihua.
It’s just that Li Shiyuan knows how to choose the person who is best for him.
Li Shiyuan listened to Mu Lan’s words, but let go of Mu Lan’s hand, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes, but more and more determined to win: “Mu Lan, the king said, the king has never been unable to get a woman.”
“Mu Lan probably didn’t tell your Highness that Mu Lan didn’t want to work with his sister as a husband.” Mu Lan opened his mouth calmly.
This seems to be a sign of something.
But the voice fell, but Mu Lan’s face could not see any trace, as if it was just a simple expression of an idea.
Li Shiyuan sank: “Mu Lan, what are you hinting at Ben Wang?”
“Mulan wouldn’t dare.” “If it’s all right, Mulan will leave first.”
After that, Mu Lan stopped looking at Li Shiyuan.
Li Shiyuan’s voice, however, was lukewarm: “Ben Wang is like, you and Ben Wang are cold and indifferent, but you have a good relationship with your fourth brother.”
Mu Lan did not turn around, but calmly said, “Mu Lan and His Royal Highness have only met several times. If you really want to compare them, they are probably more familiar with each other than His Royal Highness.”
With that, Mu Lan left without looking back.
But in such words, Mu Lan has clearly expressed his relationship with Li Shiyu. Although
she used Li Shiyu, it was nothing more than to stimulate Li Shiyuan.
Can be used to use, does not mean that Mu Lan wants to drag Li Shiyu really into the water, from this life and Li Shiyu meet, Mu Lan did not think so.
If she really changed the course of history, Li Shiyu is bound to be able to stay.
Sink, Mu Lan’s pace is still very steady, quietly toward the position of the West Piandian, Li Shiyuan stood in place, looking at Mu Lan without saying a word.
It was not until Mu Lan’s figure had disappeared that Li Shiyuan looked at the shadow guard on one side and said, “What does Mu Lan mean?”
Ying Wei said respectfully, “I dare not guess.”
Li Shi-yuan: Just then, Li Shi-yi came over and said, “Second Brother, so you’re here. My brother has been looking for you for a long time.”
Li Shi-yuan lowered his emotions and looked at Li Shi-yi. “What’s the matter with Ben Wang?”
“I heard that at Fengxiang Palace today the Empress Dowager asked about Second Brother and Miss Mu, but Second Brother turned her down.” When Li Shi-yi heard the news, he came to inquire about it. “This matter has also reached the ears of my father, who wants my second brother to come over.”
Li Shiyuan did not speak.
This result is not unexpected.
It’s just that Li Shi-yi can’t figure out what Li Shi-yuan is thinking: “Second Brother, you and Mu Chih-hua have known each other since childhood, and she’s the apple of Lord Mu’s eye, so between you..” As he spoke, Li Shi-yi quieted down for a moment and then moved on to the topic. “No matter what angle you look at it from, I don’t think the second brother should refuse Mu Chih-hua.”
“What do you think of Mulan?” Li Shiyuan suddenly opened his mouth and did not respond to Li Shiyi’s question about Mu Zhi’s painting.
Li Shi-yuan was stupefied, but quickly laughed out loud: My younger brother is very interested in Mu Lan. Although he didn’t grow up in the Mu Mansion, and Mu Hung-yuan never held Mu Lan in his hands, standing there made people feel much more comfortable for no reason.
“Do you want to make Mulan your concubine?” Li Shiyuan’s voice sank.
Li Shi-yi and Li Shi-yuan had always been in the same boat. How could they not hear the anger in Li Shi-yuan’s voice? Now Li Shi-yi’s heart beat faster. He looked at Li Shi-yuan in disbelief: “Second brother, you..”
“Today at Fengxiang Palace, Mu Lan’s words and deeds coaxed the Empress Dowager to be safe and sound, and even Mei Ji made Mu Lan obedient.” Li Shi-yuan gave a sneer. “The Empress Dowager is such a difficult person. Don’t you and I know?”? Maggie is in the palace. Who have you seen her being nice to?
Li Shiyi smacked his tongue and couldn’t believe it. Everyone knows that
even the mother is partial to Mu Chih-hua, but today the mother is just as impressed with Mu Lan. Not only that, including the concubines in the harem, but even Concubine Dai took the initiative to say a few words to Mu Lan. When have you ever seen Concubine Dai close to anyone? Even for her father, Princess Diana was lukewarm.
Li Shiyuan told Li Shiyi what had happened today: Under such circumstances, do you think Mu Lan is the right choice for the Crown Princess? Or is Mu Chih-hua right choice for the crown princess? The implication could not be
clearer. Although
Li Shiyuan did not say clearly in front of the queen mother and Qu Huachang, but here, he had clearly told Li Shiyuan what he thought.
Li Shiyuan swallowed all the words on his lips.
Mu Lan again attracted attention, Li Shiyi is not stupid enough because of a woman and Li Shiyuan tear face, the royal family is ruthless, you know, Li Shiyuan’s crown prince position no one can shake, now the emperor’s health is not good, once abdicated, Li Shiyuan is today’s saint.
Those princes are bound to be assigned to the frontier, to avoid scheming.
Give Li Shiyuan ten courage, he also dare not rob people with Li Shiyuan.
He said in a somewhat ingratiating tone, “What the second elder brother said is true, but the father’s side..”
After all, Mu Zhihua and Li Shiyuan’s marriage is almost a sure thing, easy to change, I am afraid it is not easy to explain to the people of Mu Wangfu.
“The king will naturally go to his father.” Li Shi-yuan did not go on to say, “a woman can be spoiled, but a woman in the position of Crown Princess must be a smart woman in order to be able to handle the overall situation.”
This is a fact. Before
Mu Lan did not appear, Li Shiyuan married Mu Zhihua, in addition to Mu Zhihua bed to satisfy themselves, there is also the identity of Mu Zhihua.
Mu Hongyuan coaxed Mu Zhihua, so to marry Mu Zhihua was to get the support of the whole Mu Wangfu.
In addition, Mu Zhihua is Mu Zhantian’s sister. Under
multiple relationships, Li Shiyuan made this decision. Now
, of course, this idea has been overturned.
Mu Zhihua is good-looking and has a brain, but compared with Mu Lan, it seems too not calm, in front of Mu Lan, Mu Zhihua is like a jealous little woman, completely without a sense of propriety.
Li Shi-yi listened to Li Shi-yuan’s words and said, “Second Brother is right.”
“Go, go to your father.”
“Yes.”
“Still nothing has come of the Wangxianglou affair?”
No. It’s like the dancer just disappeared. We couldn’t find the dancer in Kyoto, and no one even knew the dancer.
“Let the king make a thorough investigation. In life he will see a man, and in death he will see a corpse.”
“Yes.”
……
At the same time
, Mu Lan was not impatient to walk towards the location of the west side hall, but the palace at night was particularly quiet, except for the guards on patrol, there was no human habitation.
All the palaces were lit up.
The closer it is to the West Side Hall, the more deserted it is. Naturally, without human habitation, there will be no lights.
In addition, when the wind blows, there is a feeling of coldness.
“Lady, this place is really creepy.” He Xiang couldn’t help shaking.
Mu Lan, on the other hand, said calmly, The west side hall is close to the cold palace, so it’s naturally cold. In addition, when people died in the palace, almost all of them had an accident in the West Side Hall, and then they were brought down outside the Yongding Gate to deal with it. How can a place stained with
blood not be spooky.
But compared with the lotus fragrance, Mu Lan did not seem to care at all. Mu Lan is used to
such a cold. Compared
with the prison in the cold palace, the outside of the west side hall is simply the place where heaven is.
He Xiang was even more shivered by what Mu Lan said: “Miss, the maidservant you said like this is in a panic.”
“I’m here. What are you afraid of?” Mulan made fun of it.
Hexiang followed Mu Lan closely and couldn’t help asking, “Miss, the maidservant always feels that you are very familiar with the palace, no matter where you go.”. You see, the maidservant and you came in at the same time, but the maidservant asked all the way to the West Side Hall, but you naturally found it. Day and night are so different that you seem to have no difficulty at all.
“Because I have a good memory.” Mulan found a reason.
He Xiang nodded. “That’s right.”
“Have you prepared the birthday gift for the Empress Dowager tomorrow?” Mu Lan bowed his head and asked.
“It’s all packed.” He Xiang answered, “It’s just that, Miss, the maidservant can guess with her toes that everyone’s things must be rare treasures. You prepared this piece of embroidery. It’s not appropriate, is it?”
Courtesy is light and affection is heavy. What the Empress Dowager wants is love, not objects. Mu Lan is very calm to answer.
Lotus incense also did not think much, just frowned, anyway so many days, Mu Lan do things are always right, no matter under what circumstances, all appear to have a well-thought-out plan.
Just like today.
Thinking of what had happened today, Hexiang suddenly became excited again and said, “Young lady, you are liked by the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and you will not be afraid in the future.”. And the maidservant, look, the prince likes you too. Don’t you see how angry Miss Yi’s face is today?
Mu Lan smiled and did not answer Hexiang’s question.
He Xiang is still chattering.
Suddenly, Mu Lan’s footsteps stopped.
He Xiang was frightened by Mu Lan. “Miss, why did you suddenly stop?”
“Listen to me, Hexiang.” Mulan’s voice sank. “From now on, run as fast as you can toward the East Hall. Don’t look back. No matter what sound you hear, don’t look back. Do you hear me?”
Mu Lan’s eyes became sharp, and in the dark night, such sharpness seemed to be accompanied by a trace of gloom and cruelty. “Miss,” said the
frightened Ho-hsiang.
“Be obedient.” With an effort, Mu Lan pushed the lotus fragrance out quickly.
Lotus incense has not reacted to come over, feel a force, passively push oneself forward, she dare not turn back, firmly remember the words of Mu Lan, desperately toward the direction of the East Hall ran.
Mu Lan looked at the figure of the lotus fragrance leaving, and the blood in his eyes became more and more obvious.
Let Hexiang go to the East Hall because there are many people in the East Hall.
And these people are directed at themselves, will not embarrass the lotus fragrance, after all, they have to keep a living to inform. He reported
that he had died accidentally. Who are
these people? How can Mu Lan not know.
Chen Zhirong is afraid to be forced by today’s things, will let Mu Zhantian in the palace also rashly to their own hands.
It’s a bet.
Once she is safe and sound, there will be a great uproar the next day.
If she dies, everything will go back to the original point without a sound.
After all, it’s too easy to have an accident in the palace.
Mu Lan looked at the lotus fragrance to leave, in the hand always pinches the embroidery needle also the first time shoots toward the dark place, then, a stuffy hum, someone falls down.
Several men in black quickly appeared around Mulan.
Quietly, just like an invisible net pressing Mu Lan, want to let Mu Lan disappear completely at the fastest speed.
These people are all great masters.
As they approached, Mu Lan was already deliberately aware of it.
Mu Lan’s eyes are sharp, but the surface is always calm.
Here is already the location of the West Side Hall, these big masters can appear here is bound to be arranged, Mu Lan is very clear, no matter how they ask for help, no one will appear.
Here, she’s a sitting duck.
There is no other way to choose. If
she resisted, or killed all the people, as long as anyone left alive, Mu Lan knew that she was afraid that it would be impossible for her to walk out of the palace alive.
Mu Lan’s eyes light low convergence down, hide the deep meaning.
Mu Zhantian, you really can’t wait. Do you really think I, Mulan, will be captured here with you?
At the moment of raising his eyes again, the embroidery needles, like fine rain, quickly, accurately and ruthlessly shot into the body of the man in black in front of him. The man in black was obviously shocked and did not expect to face such a situation.
It was a kind of surprise.
In the front of the people have all fallen, each needle through the throat of the other side, cruel and merciless cut off all the channels to breathe. At the moment of
falling down, the pupils of the man in black were constantly dilated and blood flowed.
Looking at Mu Lan standing in front of him, unscathed, the fear in his eyes could not be blocked.
Only Mu Lan’s face did not change color: “Did Mu Zhan Tian let you come?” The man in
black looked at each other and did not speak.
“Don’t you think you’re overqualified to deal with a weak woman like me?” “But it’s a pity that you probably won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow.”
The voice fell, and the first two men in black fell down again.
This time, the embroidery needle shot directly into each other’s eyebrows.
Mu Lan still stood with an expressionless face, but the cruelty in his eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden, and the remaining few men in black became sweaty in an instant, which was beyond their expectation.
Everyone thinks that a killer is enough to deal with such a woman.
But unexpectedly, the eight of them, here, have been lying dead almost half of the people.
And they know better that Mulan’s life means that they will die.
Mu Lan came to them step by step in the dark, but the pale blue skirt looked enchanting in the dark, even did not care who was in front of him, that kind of terrible coldness, people shudder.
“Kill.” The leader, the man in black, gave the order sullenly.
Mu Lan stood looking at the sword flying in front of him, but his voice was still calm: “In the dry well of the West Side Hall, what flows is not spring water, but human blood, day after day, year after year, endless.” At the moment when the edge of the
sword was in front of Mu Lan, Mu Lan still did not move a cent: “You can’t have too much. It’s better than this dry well with no blood.”
“Ah..” The man in black screamed in the palace.
Originally facing Mu Lan’s sword, it suddenly turned and was directly inserted into the throat of the man in black.
The remaining two people can no longer calm, face panic, Mu Lan’s quick action they can not see, like a ghost in general.
Just like Mu Lan standing in front of them now, he looks very calm, but his face is bloodless, like the King of Hell who came from hell.
“Want to run?” Mulan sneered, “Do you think I will give you this opportunity?”
The voice fell, and the feet of the man in black seemed to be fixed abruptly.
At this time
suddenly, a sharp wind came, the tall figure appeared in front of Mu Lan, the sword unsheathed, the next moment, two people almost fell to the ground at the same time.
Mu Lan looked at this scene, also collected the breath.
At the moment of landing, Mulan said, “General Long.”
“Take care of this place first.” Long Shaoyun said directly.
He twisted his eyebrows and looked at the corpses everywhere, but he looked much calmer. Compared with the ferocity and blood on the battlefield, the picture in front of him was nothing.
On the contrary, Mu Lan looked at Long Shaoyun quietly.
Long Shaoyun seemed to be particularly calm about his martial arts, as if he had known it from the beginning.
At the time of Wangxianglou, Long Shaoyun did not have any doubts.
Mu Lan looked at Long Shaoyun, who was preparing to clean up the body on the ground, and then she said lightly, “No, just keep it.”
Long Shaoyun looked over.
Dawn is the Hungry Ghost Festival. If these people don’t go back tonight, naturally their masters will send someone to look for them, and they will clean up the place themselves. We don’t need to do it. Mulan said calmly, “If we do something, we’ll be confused.”
Long Shaoyun looked at Mu Lan quietly.
Mu Lan has turned to walk toward the west side hall, Long Shaoyun calmly followed up, Mu Lan knew Long Shaoyun followed, but ultimately did not stop.
“Why?” Long Shaoyun asked lightly for a long time.
Mu Lan was already standing at the gate of the West Side Hall. “It’s impossible for the people in the palace not to know who these people are. If they can come brazenly, they probably didn’t expect this outcome. Tomorrow is the Hungry Ghost Festival. He can’t have no scruples. The emperor is still here. If he makes a bloody scene on the Hungry Ghost Festival, I’m afraid he can’t escape the blame. So, even if it’s like this now.” He had to swallow it himself.
Mu Lan’s analysis is very calm.
Long Shao-yun looked at Mu Lan with a little more curiosity: “Mu Lan, there are not many people who can be so calm under such circumstances.”
Mu Lan looked at Long Shaoyun and said, General Long, I’m just protecting myself. Also, I’m not a very safe person. If General Long is free, don’t come near me to avoid getting into trouble.
Mu Lan’s attitude is not bad, but between the lines are reminding Long Shaoyun.
Long Shaoyun did not have any timidity, step by step toward Mu Lan, Mu Lan deep breath, can not say is helpless or other emotions.
Mu Lan did not retreat, but stood and looked at Long Shaoyun’s face again. Mu Lan sighed: “Get the lotus fragrance back first, and then we’ll talk about other things.”
“My people will send the lotus back soon.” Long Shaoyun opened his mouth lightly.
Mu Lan slightly squinted at Long Shaoyun, and suddenly understood why Long Shaoyun had just appeared here.
Because Long Shaoyun has already met Hexiang first. Under such circumstances
, Hexiang must have asked Long Shaoyun for help at the first time. So Long Shaoyun will return to the West Piandian, and the lotus incense has been taken away by Long Shaoyun’s people.
Mu Lan held his forehead, but in his heart he was really relieved.
At least Hexiang is fine. Although
Mu Lan let the lotus fragrance go, but at the moment, Mu Lan is not sure that the lotus fragrance is really all right, Mu Zhantian was forced to be anxious, may also kill the lotus fragrance after the event.
She should be glad that the person she saw was Long Shaoyun.
“Are you relieved?” Long Shaoyun looked at Mu Lan and asked. After taking a deep breath,
Mu Lan looked at Long Shaoyun and said, “It’s not appropriate to talk here. Someone will soon know about the noise here. Go back to the West Side Hall first. It will take at least a little time to get to the West Side Hall.”. It’s safer over there.
It’s the same reason that killing people near the West Piandian is the least suspicious. It is also safest for
them to speak in the West Side Hall, and it is impossible for anyone to notice the situation in the West Side Hall.
Long Shaoyun did not object, quietly followed Mu Lan toward the West Side Hall.
Two people walk one after another, on the way who did not speak, but Mu Lan can clearly feel that Long Shaoyun is very close to himself, that posture is more like protecting himself.
Mu Lan sank, did not say anything, people have been standing at the door of the West Side Hall, lotus incense has obviously been sent back, there are still some shocked. When she
saw Mulan, Hexiang relented and said, “Young lady, I’m glad you’re all right.”
“He-hsiang, I’m in shock.” Mulan picked up Hexiang and said, “Go back and rest first. No matter who asks you what happened tonight, you can’t reveal anything. Otherwise, it’s really out of control. Do you hear me?”
“The maidservant knows.” Lotus fragrance repeatedly nodded, even if fear, but what should say what should not say, she is still very clear.
Then, the lotus incense face pale out of the west side hall, and then carefully help Mu Lan lock the door.
In the quiet courtyard, the lotus fragrance can even smell blood.
She did not dare to stay for a moment and ran quickly towards her house, until she closed the door, she was still panting.
……
On the contrary, it was Mu Lan’s room, and she could not be calmer. There was nothing in
the west side hall, but after the queen mother spoke today, the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared all the things that should be prepared in the west side hall, except for the natural location and the cold caused by the perennial disrepair of the west side hall itself, the rest of the things were not much different from other courtyards.
Mu Lan sat down and did not look at Long Shaoyun, but made tea seriously.
When the tea was ready, she filled the cup with tea and handed it to Long Shaoyun.
Long Shaoyun took the teacup and sat down and took a quiet sip, as if the previous killings had never happened.
They were quiet for a long time.
When Long Shaoyun put down his teacup, Mu Lan looked over and said, “General Long, can I know why?”? If I remember correctly, we didn’t know each other before, and we had never met before.
This matter has been haunting Mu Lan for a long time.
Since Long Shaoyun appeared in Wangxianglou, Mu Lan has no idea why Long Shaoyun took the risk of losing his head to help him repeatedly.
Like tonight.
Mu Lan asked, but Long Shaoyun, like a stuffy gourd, never gave any answer. There is no way for Mu Lan to take Long Shao Yun.
The only thing to do is to avoid it.
It seems that with such a far away, take Long Shaoyun away from his side, do not repeat the mistakes of the previous life.
She can’t afford it.
But it happened that Long Shaoyun seemed to be fearless.
This kind of Long Shaoyun let Mu Lan also have some at a loss, and then looked at Long Shaoyun calm appearance, Mu Lan sank, eyes finally fell on the body of Long Shaoyun. Long Shaoyun interrupted
Mu Lan as soon as he opened his mouth: “Why are you hiding from me?”
“I..” Is Mu Lan speechless. The hand that
raises is put down again instantly, the mood also follows uncomfortable irascibility to rise, but the surface Mu Lan did not reveal.
Why? Can
she tell Long Shaoyun that she is reborn? Is the self that Long Shaoyun sees now not the true self, but the self that has gone through the vicissitudes of life and knows everything?
Mu Lan knew that if she really said so, Long Shaoyun could think of himself as a madman.
But if you don’t say it, how can you explain it?
It seems that the matter has been rounded up again, and there is no way out.
Mu Lan can only look at Long Shaoyun like this, and finally he has no choice but to bow his head and continue to concentrate on the tea in his hands, without saying a word, and the quiet and terrible inside the West Side Hall.
Long Shaoyun drank one cup of tea after another until he completely put down the cup in his hand. Only then did
Mu Lan lift his eyelids and look at him.
“Mu Lan.” Long Shaoyun called Mu Lan’s name very lightly.
Mu Lan did not answer, but just looked at him like this. Long Shaoyun’s tone did not change at all. Every word he said was particularly clear: “Promise me, don’t stir yourself into the palace.”. This is not the place for you. Any place, any person, is more suitable for you than this palace and the people in it.
“So General Long is going to tell me that the right person for me is General Long?” Mu Lan asked rudely.
Long Shaoyun quieted down: “As long as it’s not someone in this palace, it can be anyone.”
Mu Lan felt that he and Long Shaoyun had fallen into a dead end on this issue, and no one could struggle out of this dead end.
She didn’t understand what Long Shaoyun was thinking.
She could not explain the situation to Long Shaoyun.
But the two of them struggled with each other.
Step by step, he pushed the other side to a desperate situation.
Finally, it was Mu Lan who looked up at Long Shaoyun and said, “Impossible.”
Long Shaoyun’s eyes sank, Mu Lan can clearly feel the tight breath of this person, seems to be on the verge of breaking out, Mu Lan twisted eyebrows.
But she still said her thoughts very clearly word by word: “General Long, I appreciate your kindness.”. But my decision can never be changed. No matter how dangerous it is in the palace, even if one day I will give my life in the palace, I can only go on like this, and I have no way out.
Long Shaoyun looked at Mu Lan and said, “Mu Lan, are you stubborn?”
“Yes.” Mu Lan gave a positive answer.
Then Mu Lan stood up and did not mean to leave Long Shaoyun any more. “General Long, it’s already deep. It’s not appropriate for you to appear here.”. Although this is the West Side Hall, no one will come, but something like this has happened tonight, and it is inevitable that there will be another accident.
This is already an order to leave.
Long Shaoyun could not have known that he looked at Mu Lan and stood up with him.
The two men are very close.
Long Shaoyun is very high, Mu Lan only to the height of Long Shaoyun’s shoulder, this person is even higher than Li Shiyu, such a height, by Long Shaoyun looking down, Mu Lan inexplicably feel bursts of pressure. I don’t
know.
But she didn’t want to give in.
“It doesn’t matter what I say, does it?” Long Shaoyun asked in a deep voice.
Mu Lan’s eyes gazed at Long Shaoyun, instantly understood the idea of Long Shaoyun, her eyebrows twisted, and the slender hand has been held by Long Shaoyun.
Mu Lan closed his eyes and said preemptively, Long Shaoyun. I don’t know you, I respect you as a man, so don’t do anything that makes me disgusted, I said, my decision will not change. No matter what you do, I won’t change. You don’t have to lose yourself for me.
Long Shaoyun did not speak.
Mu Lan wanted to pull his hand out, but Long Shaoyun suddenly tightened, Mu Lan’s hand fell in the palm of Long Shaoyun, how can not move.
“If you go to the emperor and ask him to marry you, even if it’s an imperial decree, I will resist it.” Mu Lan said every word very clearly.
Long Shaoyun’s stubbornness, Mu Lan has seen.
So these words, Mu Lan had to say.
Sure enough, because of Mu Lan’s words, Long Shaoyun’s eyebrows have been twisted up.
“I suppose you prevented me from entering the palace because you didn’t want to see me in this palace, did you?” Mu Lan looked at Long Shaoyun and asked calmly.
Long Shaoyun hum, is to give a positive answer.
But you should know that if I disobey the decree, then something may have happened to me before I enter the palace. Is that what you want to see? Mulan asked, “General Long, Mulan thanks for your concern, but I know what I’m doing, so please don’t worry about General Long.”
This, Mu Lan said more clearly.
Long Shaoyun closed his eyes slightly.
Mu Lan also quieted down and looked at Long Shaoyun.
“Do you really think so?” Long Shaoyun asked.
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered.
Long Shaoyun sighed for a long time: “I can’t change your decision any more.”
“Yes.” Mu Lan’s answer has not changed.
Long Shaoyun nodded, he loosened Mu Lan, the hand with clear joints suddenly stroked Mu Lan’s cheek, Mu Lan was stunned, had not had time to refuse, already felt that Long Shaoyun seemed to gently brush away her hair on the cheek, but did not mean any blasphemy.
Then Long Shaoyun put down his hand.
Mu Lan could feel that there was still the temperature of Long Shaoyun’s palm on his cheek.
“Just as stubborn.” Long Shao-yun suddenly chuckled. “I can’t change you, can I?”
Mu Lan did not answer.
“Remember, Mulan, no matter what happens, at least I’m still standing behind you.” Long Shaoyun promised Mu Lan.
Mu Lan takes a deep breath, it is true that there is no way to take Long Shaoyun, she looked at, Long Shaoyun also did not avoid Mu Lan’s eyes.
“If I collaborate with the enemy and commit treason against my country, will General Long be in cahoots with me?” Mu Lan asked.
“As long as you do it, I will not turn back.” Long Shaoyun’s answer is very simple.
Mu Lan has nothing to say. It is quiet in the
west side hall.
Long Shaoyun had already stepped back and kept a safe distance from Mu Lan. “It’s very late. I’ll go back first. You should pay attention to your safety in the palace.”. After tonight, no matter who the other party is, I don’t think it’s possible to come back. So don’t think too much and get a good night’s sleep.
Mu Lan hum, finally did not say anything.
“That’s right.” Long Shaoyun suddenly looked back.
When Mu Lan almost ran into him, Long Shaoyun had already supported Mu Lan: “I’ll let someone watch outside, so I can rest assured.”
Mu Lan also did not say what, simply hum.
Long Shaoyun see Mu Lan promised, this just rest assured out of the west side hall, Mu Lan is sent Long Shaoyun went out, two people did not talk again. The door
inside the house was opened by Lung Shao-yun. “All right, don’t go out. It’s windy outside. Stay inside, or you’ll make the same old mistake.”
Mu Lan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Who are you, Long Shaoyun?”
Mu Lan’s problems are brought from childhood, so Gu yuanzhi has been conditioning Mu Lan, including martial arts because of this reason, but it seems that there is no way to change.
As long as Mu Lan blows more, headaches will inevitably occur, from small to large.
When he was a child, Mu Lan would have a fever when he had a headache. He had a fever all the time, as if he could not wake up. He would not wake up until the fever subsided, and then he would be like a person who had nothing to do. After
growing up, even if the brain is hot, it will not be in a coma.
So Gu Fu’s people, including Mu Lan himself, try to avoid blowing, but this matter, in addition to Mu Lan and Gu Fu’s people, no one knows.
And Gu Fu was exterminated, so only Mu Lan himself knew about it.
But now Long Shaoyun is clearly talking about this matter.
Such words caused Mu Lan to squint at Long Shaoyun: “Who are you?”
The words had already made Mu Lan’s voice sink, and there was a hint of warning in his low tone. Long Shaoyun, as if he had not been affected by Mu Lan, chuckled: “Do you want to know?”
Mu Lan did not answer.
She was born to be particularly alert to everything, such as Long Shaoyun, Mu Lan only felt that this person was calculating what, when he could not guess what Long Shaoyun was thinking, Mu Lan would not take the initiative to open his mouth to dig holes for himself. The smile in
Long Shao Yunmei’s eyes is faint. In Mu Lan’s opinion,
this man is a very serious person.
But now, Mu Lan has found that under the serious appearance of Long Shaoyun, it seems that it is not what he thought.
But Long Shaoyun didn’t mind that Mu Lan didn’t open his mouth. He said calmly, but it wasn’t Mu Lan’s condition: “If you don’t enter the palace, I’ll tell you the reason.”
Mu Lan calmly looked at Long Shaoyun: “I said, this problem is impossible.”
“Is it really impossible?” Long Shaoyun’s deep eyes with a trace of invisible loss, as well as worry, looking at Mu Lan, a slight sigh.
He raised his hand again and pressed it against Mulan.
Mulan stood calmly: “If General Long really knows everything about me, then it should be very clear that the decision I made cannot be changed.”
“You have changed a lot.” Long Shaoyun only replied with such a sentence.
Then, Long Shaoyun also really did not embarrass Mu Lan, that look from Mu Lan body took back, Mu Lan also did not say what, two people walked out side by side.
As a result, the footsteps of Mu Lan and Long Shaoyun stopped at the moment of leaving the West Side Hall.
Because at the entrance of the west side hall, Li Shiyu’s tall figure leaned against the pillar, his eyelids slightly lifted, and looked at Mu Lan and Long Shaoyun.
Mu Lan missed a beat, did not expect to see Li Shiyu here.
Long Shaoyun only slightly twisted his eyebrows, and his eyes swept lightly over Mu Lan. Then he looked at Li Shiyu and said, “My minister, Long Shaoyun, has seen the Fourth Royal Highness.” Only then did
Li Shi-yu seem to have a reaction: “General Long is in a good mood. He appeared in the West Side Hall in the middle of the night.”
This seems to be a joke, but there is a trace of chill in Li Shiyu’s words.
Long Shao-yun stood quietly, and then calmly replied, “Just passing by.” Long Shao-yun didn’t offer much explanation, but asked in reply, “Why did the Fourth Royal Highness appear in the West Side Hall?”
Li Shiyu just looked at Long Shaoyun and didn’t say a word more.
Mu Lan’s eyebrows are always twisted.
The atmosphere couldn’t be weirder. She did not
even notice how long Li Shiyu had been standing here, whether she had heard the outside of the house, or what she had seen.
Long Shaoyun came here in a hurry because he ran into the lotus fragrance and knew that something had happened in the West Piandian.
What about Li Shiyu?
Mu Lan forced himself to calm down, and then reacted, Li Shiyu appeared here, must be Mu Zhantian already knew that something had happened, handled the scene, naturally in the palace, such a thing can not be hidden from Li Shiyu, so this person will appear here.
But the appearance of this man here gives Mu Lan a feeling.
As if he had been caught in bed by Li Shiyu. Did
she do something?
What’s more, why can’t she associate with Long Shaoyun? At most, she is allowed to know that she has fallen on the charge of not keeping female virtue. What else can she do?
Thinking of this, Mu Lan stood up straight, his face showing no trace of guilt.
She calmly looked at Li Shiyu and said, “Your Royal Highness is in such a good mood in the evening that he has also come to the West Side Hall.”. The West Side Hall may not have been so busy in decades.
Li Shiyu did not speak, suddenly stood up straight and walked step by step in the opposite direction of Mu Lan.
Even Li Shiyu didn’t look at Long Shaoyun.
Long Shaoyun was stunned and looked at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu ignored Long Shaoyun until he stood in front of Mu Lan. Suddenly, he pulled Mu Lan’s hand directly in front of Long Shaoyun. “Li Shiyu,” said
Mu Lan in a moment of astonishment.
Li Shi-yu’s face was very cold, and with a sudden effort from his palm, Mu Lan felt a slight pain: “Go in.” Even
the words are cool and thin, without a trace of emotion, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes cold to the extreme. Mu Lan was dragged by Li Shiyu, trying to break free, but found that the internal force of this person is unfathomable, even if he tried his best, as if he was firmly imprisoned by this person, there is no possibility of breaking free.
Mu Lan couldn’t help taking a deep breath.
“Mulan, don’t let the king say it again.” Li Shiyu lowered his voice to warn Mu Lan. Seeing this,
Long Shaoyun had already followed him: “Your Highness, you..”
“General Long.” Li Shiyu’s voice fell, darkly enough to make people shudder. “The king doesn’t want to see blood again in the West Side Hall.”
That’s a warning.
Mu Lan’s face changed slightly.
She knew that Li Shiyu was not joking at all. This man did what he said, and what he said would be done. Even if the people who entered the palace could not wear swords, it was not too difficult for Li Shiyu to kill Long Shaoyun.
Not to mention, now Mu Lan simply can not figure out where Li Shiyu’s bottom line is.
“You go back first.” Mu Lan looked at Long Shaoyun. “I promise I’ll be all right.”
Long Shaoyun is obviously not at ease.
And Li Shiyu did not have too much deep friendship, but that is instinctive intuition, Li Shiyu and Mu Lan is not simple, that kind of eyes, is a man’s possessive desire for women, Long Shaoyun’s heart seems to swallow a huge stone, how can not let him calm down. The feeling of being
blocked.
“Mu Lan..” Long Shaoyun read Mu Lan’s name.
Mu Lan shook his head at Long Shaoyun. The firmness in his eyes could not tolerate any refusal from Long Shaoyun: “Go back.”
Long Shaoyun took a step closer.
Li Shiyu looked sullenly at Long Shaoyun, Mu Lan can clearly feel that Li Shiyu’s palm wind in the condensation, this palm down, either dead or injured.
“I’ll go in with you.” Mu Lan said directly, and then she no longer looked at Long Shaoyun.
Li Shiyu is almost a force, directly pulled Mu Lan into the house, the next foot, the door closed heavily, in the quiet night, such a gloomy sound makes people feel terrible.
Long Shaoyun stood motionless at the gate of the West Side Hall.
His eyes looked at the west side of the hall.
Soon, Rong Jiu walked up to Long Shaoyun and said, “General Long, please. This is not the place for General Long.”
Long Shaoyun naturally recognized Rong Jiu, who was Li Shiyu’s confidant, but Long Shaoyun did not mean to leave.
Rong Jiu also did not use force, but calmly opened his mouth: “If General Long is worried about Miss Mu’s safety, please rest assured that General Long.”. The relationship between Your Highness and Miss Mu will not affect Miss Mu.
“Their relationship?” Long Shaoyun narrowed his eyes slightly.
Rong Jiu did not explain, but the meaning of coercion was particularly clear: “General Long, you are here, the slave can not guarantee whether Miss Mu will have an accident.” The implication
is to tell Long Shaoyun clearly that whether Mu Lan has something to do depends on Long Shaoyun, not on the current situation.
Long Shaoyun sank, took a deep look at the West Side Hall, then nodded and turned away.
Rong Jiu’s expression did not change, just so quietly standing at the door of the West Side Hall, as if nothing had happened.
Long Shaoyun’s face looked gloomy all the way.
And after the incident before the place, as Mu Lan guess, everything has been dealt with clean, even the blood on the ground are gone, not to mention before the body of the bodyguard.
Mu Lan has really changed.
Become very different from what you know about Mulan.
But this kind of Mu Lan makes Long Shaoyun like it more and more.
Only in Mu Lan’s words, Long Shaoyun also knew that such Mu Lan could not be owned by him, like a bird flying high, completely flying out of his palm.
So, is it too late after all?
Long Shaoyun did not expect Gu Fu to suffer such a disaster of extermination.
Originally, Long Shaoyun planned to propose marriage to Gu yuanzhi when he returned to Kyoto on the Hungry Ghost Festival this year. As a result, the plan could not catch up with the changes. Some of them seemed to have been arranged, one thing after another, without giving Long Shaoyun any chance to breathe.
He sank, said nothing, and then quickly left the West Side Hall.
But the high hanging heart, Long Shaoyun has never put down. In
the
west side hall, Mu Lan was almost pushed into the house by Li Shiyu.
This person does not have any pity, too much strength so that Mu Lan’s wrist becomes red, and even Mu Lan has the illusion that he was dislocated by Li Shiyu.
She looked at Li Shiyu, whose face was gloomy and terrible.
Mu Lan came to his senses and said with a sneer, “Your Highness, are you too lenient in your affairs?”
“Is the king too lenient?” Li Shiyu sneered, “Mu Lan, how many people are you thinking about, huh?”
With these words, Li Shiyu pointed to the position of Mu Lan’s heart.
Mulan quieted: “The only person Mulan misses most is Mulan himself.” With a sneer,
Li Shiyu walked toward Mu Lan. Mu Lan did not retreat, but the man seemed to be pushing him all the way, almost pushing Mu Lan to a desperate situation.
Mulan was forced to retreat. Until the
whole person leaned on the bed, Mu Lan staggered for a moment, forcing himself to stand firm.
“Mu Lan.” Li Shiyu pinched Mu Lan’s chin, but his tone was warning, “You never take anything the king says to you seriously, do you?”
Mu Lan did not speak.
“Why, you were so obsessed with marrying the prince that you turned around and continued to hook up with Long Shaoyun, eh?” Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan aggressively. “The king said that if you want to drag Shao Yun into the water, the king can help you at the first time.”
“You..” Mu Lan’s face changed. The smile on
Li Shiyu’s face was even colder.
Mu Lan met Li Shiyuan’s problem, neither salty nor light, Li Shiyuan is just a chess piece that can be used in Mu Lan’s hands, Li Shiyu now can not figure out Mu Lan’s idea, but it is very clear that Mu Lan has no interest in Li Shiyuan.
But when it comes to Long Shaoyun, Mu Lan’s nervousness is obvious.
That’s the care for Long Shaoyun. Can not
tell whether there is love between men and women, but the care of Long Shaoyun is from the heart. Under
such an impulse, Li Shiyu had an uncontrollable illusion that his possessions were coveted, and even he did not know how Long Shaoyun and Mu Lan looked at each other. People who have never been
contacted.
“Nervous?” Li Shiyu pressed his voice and asked, “Tell me, what is the relationship between Long Shaoyun and you?”
“It doesn’t matter.” Mulan said directly, “I said, I can’t have anything with General Long, and please don’t involve irrelevant people.”
Li Shiyu obviously did not believe Mu Lan’s words.
Mu Lan also did not flinch, it is so calm to look at Li Shiyu.
Such Mu Lan, let Li Shiyu suddenly sneer, Mu Lan has not had time to react, Li Shiyu directly bit Mu Lan’s lips.
Mu Lan was startled.
This time, Li Shiyu did not molest himself as before. It’s not that
they haven’t been close to each other, but it’s never been like this, as if everything would be out of control easily in the summer.
“Li Shiyu” Mu Lan suppressed his voice.
The candlelight was still flickering, and the reflection of their entanglement appeared on the window paper.
The skin is stroked by the rough touch, Mu Lan can not help but shrink, and then look at Li Shiyu, this person’s body is seeping with thin beads of sweat. There was some confusion on the
bed.
Mu Lan’s hand clung to the cushion under his body, but Li Shiyu did not let go of Mu Lan’s meaning at all, and the gloom in his eyes became more and more uncontrollable.
“Has Long Shaoyun ever touched you like that?” Li Shiyu’s tone is cold and merciless, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes is more than a trace of gloom.
Mu Lan’s every move is not like a girl who is not out of the cabinet, but like an experienced woman.
Think of every move between Mu Lan and Long Shaoyun, as well as Mu Lan’s attitude at the moment, Li Shiyu’s last pity has completely disappeared.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu, facing such a problem, she did not say a word.
Face is also some cold, looking at Li Shiyu but did not have any meaning of concession.
Such a move completely enraged Li Shiyu.
The scene was completely out of control.
The original punishment, seems to be in such a push, gradually become somewhat uncontrollable, Mu Lan’s eyes also with Li Shiyu’s action more and more cold.
Suddenly
Li Shiyu paused. I don’t know when
a sharp blade was aimed at Li Shiyu’s chest.
As long as Mu Lan exerts himself, the sharp blade can directly pierce Li Shiyu’s chest, Li Shiyu also just looked down, the expression did not have any change.
“Um..” Mu Lan snorted.
Li Shiyu is still going his own way.
And the dagger in Mu Lan’s hand did not come down.
Li Shiyu brought her pain, she returned all the man, the dagger has pierced Li Shiyu’s chest, blood soon soaked the man’s crescent white gown, instantly, the smell of blood followed.
It’s impossible not to hurt.
But Li Shiyu did not flinch, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes with a trace of coldness, but such coldness, but mixed with a trace of pity.
He became gentle.
It’s just that Li Shiyu didn’t mean to concede.
Mu Lan’s breath also gradually hurried up, but the atmosphere actually did not have any relaxation because of this.
The dagger leaned against Li Shiyu’s chest inch by inch.
Li Shiyu is also approaching inch by inch.
“Why not?” Li Shiyu asked in a deep voice.
Mulan just looked at it and said, “Your Highness is bent on having your own way. Did Mulan say something useful?”
“At least the king will be gentle.” Li Shiyu did not hide his actions.
Even at this moment, Li Shiyu did not have any regrets.
“Your Royal Highness is planning to die as a ghost under the peony flower.” Mu Lan sneered.
Li Shiyu: “Want the king’s life?”
Mulan: “If the dagger is one point deeper, your Highness will not be able to save the day.”
“Try it.” Li Shiyu smiled faintly, his movements became gentle, and the sharpness in his eyes had turned into a trace of invisible tenderness.
Listening to Li Shiyu’s words, Mu Lan’s complexion remained unchanged.
“Mu Lan.” Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth and called Mu Lan, “I will never regret anything I have done, and I will certainly do what I have said, so don’t challenge my bottom line easily. You can’t afford such a price.”
Mu Lan gazed at Li Shiyu. “So, Your Highness, this is Mu Lan’s punishment?”
“That’s not true.” With a half-smile, Li Shiyu said, “Ben Wang is just doing something that he has been thinking about for a long time.”. Let you send back the woman who always remembers who you are.
Mu Lan sneered.
Li Shiyu still did not stop.
Instead, the dagger in Mu Lan’s hand pushed close to one point and finally stopped.
A palm wind blows, the last candle light is completely extinguished, the moonlight outside the window through the window paper, leaked in.
……
Mu Lan did not know how long
Li Shiyu loosened himself, Mu Lan’s hand also pulled away from the dagger, the dagger pierced Li Shiyu’s chest, the man’s face turned white, but it seems that this can not affect Li Shiyu.
He sat up calmly.
Mu Lan slightly twisted eyebrows, also did not take the initiative to come forward, quickly put his clothes on. Before
Mu Lan could react, Li Shiyu had pulled out the dagger directly, and the blood that had been suppressed before spurted out at once. Mu Lan could not dodge, and the white undershirt had been thoroughly stained with a little scarlet.
She is a healer, too aware of such a situation, if not absolutely sure, so rashly pull out the dagger will be what kind of situation.
But Li Shiyu did so.
Mu Lan couldn’t help taking a deep breath.
Li Shiyu, however, looked at Mu Lan calmly and said, “Go and get the medicine to stop the bleeding.”
“You..” Mu Lan put up with it. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll poison you?”
You have so many chances to kill the king in bed. But you didn’t do it. Although the dagger was deep, it still left some room, didn’t it? Li Shiyu said directly. There was a slight flash of discomfort in
Mu Lan’s face. Indeed, although
the dagger was deep, it did not involve the vital position, and for Li Shiyu, it would not cause too many problems. She
even avoided Li Shiyu’s previous wounds.
These are flesh wounds for Li Shiyu.
Mu Lan got up and looked at Li Shiyu with a cold face. “Since Your Highness can’t die, Mu Lan thought, you can leave here safe and sound. You don’t need Mu Lan to stop the bleeding for you.”
Said, Mu Lan is really did not want to pay attention to the meaning of Li Shiyu.
At the moment when Mu Lan stood up, Li Shiyu’s hand clasped Mu Lan and looked up at her.
Mu Lan did not pay attention to the meaning.
“You really don’t care if the king lives or dies?” Li Shiyu asked with a faint smile.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu with an expressionless face. “Your Highness, why should I be in charge of a man who has taken away my chastity?”? I have shown mercy by not killing your Highness.
With that, Mu Lan pulled his hand out forcefully.
Li Shiyu sat and looked at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan wore a single clothes, enchanting figure under the single clothes, Li Shiyu looked a little entranced, and then he lowered his eyebrows and eyes, eyes fell on the bed. The blood on the
mattress could not be more striking.
Mu Lan no matter how calm, Li Shiyu is an experienced person, naturally know what he is facing, in that moment, Li Shiyu is a kind of indescribable joy.
At least now Mu Lan, is completely belongs to oneself, but is not any man.
And Mu Lan seemed to have noticed Li Shiyu’s eyes. She put up with it and ordered him to leave without hesitation: “Are you going to stay in the West Side Hall tonight?”
“You want the king to stay?” Li Shiyu looked up at Mu Lan with a hint of banter in his eyes.
Mu Lan was asked by Li Shiyu and suddenly looked over.
Li Shiyu smiled, and then Li Shiyu stood up, step by step to the front of Mu Lan, Mu Lan did not retreat.
Li Shiyu pinched Mulan’s chin in his hand and said, “Mulan, remember what the king said. You are the king’s woman. What are you doing? The king can hold you, but if someone gets his hands on you, the king will kill the person who gets his hands on you and then kill you.”
Mu Lan took a deep breath, and she knew that Li Shiyu didn’t mean any joke. After
Li Shiyu finished speaking, he loosened Mu Lan.
He did not look at Mu Lan, packed himself up, calmly walked out of the West Side Hall, Mu Lan did not speak, watching the man’s back from his line of sight, and the floor of the house, dripping blood is this person.
It was not until the door of the house was closed again that Mu Lan gradually came to his senses. The
previous picture came into Mu Lan’s mind.
Mu Lan closed his eyes.
She never thought that one day she could have such a relationship with Li Shiyu.
She closed her eyes and looked at the evidence of the crime on the bed again. She came to her senses and handled it neatly, leaving no trace.
Even the blood on the ground, Mu Lan are carefully eliminated.
Then, she rubbed her sore waist and met the bed again, but this night, Mu Lan could not sleep. All that flashed in
his mind were pictures of Li Shiyu and his entanglement.
Bloody but with a trace of tenderness.
Complicated and unpredictable.
……
And when Li Shiyu walked out of the West Side Hall, Rong Jiu immediately followed him. Seeing the blood on Li Shiyu’s chest, his face was startled: “Your Highness, you..”
“It doesn’t matter.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
Under Li Shiyu’s eyes, Rong Jiu immediately handed over Li Shiyu’s cloak, which blocked the blood from his chest, so that people could not see any clues.
Li Shiyu walked steadily and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on with Mu Zhantian?” I’m afraid Mu Zhantian didn’t dare to say anything about this
today. When a man dies, he dies in vain. Rong Jiu explained, But if Miss Mu is like this, I’m afraid Mu Zhantian will also be suspicious. After all, Mu Zhantian sent all the great masters tonight. No matter what you say, there is no way to explain why the eight great masters failed to win a single Miss Mu.
Rong Jiu’s calm analysis. When
Li Shiyu got the news and brought Rong Jiu, Rong Jiu had never seen Li Shiyu in such a hurry, as if he was afraid that something would happen to Mu Lan in the next second.
And those shadows raised by Mu Zhan Tian are not only great masters, but also killers raised by Li Shiyuan, who show no mercy.
So when they saw that Mu Lan was safe and sound, Rong Jiu was surprised. Naturally,
Li Shiyu also wanted to: “Put this matter behind us, and don’t let the prince and Mu Zhantian suspect Mu Lan.”
“This..” Rong Jiu was quiet.
This is undoubtedly a transfer of risk to them.
You know, this is to tell the prince and Mu Zhantian, they are looking for people have been in the palace, the number of people in the palace, who may become the object of suspicion. It
will also cause Li Shiyu’s actions to become inconvenient.
The prince was originally a man who could not be more vigilant.
Plus what happened to Wangxianglou before.
And now
“do as the king commands.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
“Your Highness, please think twice.” Rong Jiu twisted his eyebrows and opened his mouth.
Li Shiyu looked at Rong Jiu. Rong Jiu had followed Li Shiyu for many years, and naturally knew that Li Shiyu would not easily change his mind. Finally, Rong Jiu compromised: “My subordinates know.”
“Find a scapegoat.” Li Shiyu confessed.
“Yes.” Rong Jiu didn’t say much.
Soon, the two disappeared in such a hurry in the night.
After two people leave, the west side hall also followed gradually quiet down, as if everything had never happened, but in such a quiet, but with a burst of unstable breath.
Until dawn.
…… On the day of
the Ghost Festival. The
palace became particularly lively, and all the ministers went to the palace to attend the Hungry Ghost Festival in the evening. The Hungry Ghost Festival is not only the biggest festival of the week, but also the birthday of the queen mother today, and its natural significance is even more unusual. Before
the dinner began, Fengxiang Palace was the most lively place in the palace.
Mu Lan got up early in the morning, and when it was still dawn, Mu Lan had already left from the West Side Hall.
Lotus fragrance closely followed behind Mu Lan, apparently not yet from last night’s fright, eyes are a little trance, that kind of panic can not be hidden.
Mu Lan calmed down and said, “Hexiang, calm down.”
Hexiang shivered, especially when she passed the place where the accident happened yesterday, Hexiang dared not stop at all. He almost walked past with his eyes closed.
Mu Lan appears to be much calmer, just a very light look at the treatment of the clean ground.
No one can imagine that such a bloody thing happened last night.
She stepped on the green tile floor step by step and walked in the direction of Fengxiang Palace.
But not long after Mu Lan left the West Side Hall, he had already seen Mu Zhantian standing in front of him. Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and did not dodge, looking at Mu Zhantian.
Then Mu Lan called out, “King of Yi County, what a surprise. He’s waiting for me specially.” As he spoke, Mu Lan chuckled. “The king of Yi County made a special trip to wait for Mu Lan, but Mu Lan didn’t deserve it.”. But isn’t Big Brother afraid that it won’t be Mu Lan’s people, but the ghosts of the dead? There is irony
between the lines.
He Xiang became more and more nervous because of Mu Lan’s words. Looking at Mu Lan, Mu Lan was calm: “If you don’t pay your respects when you see someone, I’m not afraid that if the king of Yi County is unhappy, I’ll give you a crime.”
One word frightened Hexiang’s legs, and she immediately knelt down and said, “The maidservant pays her respects to the king of Yi County.”
Mu Zhantian didn’t say a word all the way.
But Mu Lan didn’t mind either. “All right, get up and wait for me at the front.”
“Miss..” He Xiang is afraid and worried.
Mu Lan looked at the lotus incense, the lotus incense respectfully nodded, then stood up, quickly toward the front, she stopped not far away, can not hear the conversation between the two, but can see the first time two people’s every move.
After Hexiang stood far away, Mu Lan looked at Mu Zhantian, but the coldness in her eyes became more and more serious, and finally fell on Mu Zhantian. Her tone became somewhat playful: “The king of Yi County let you down again last night.”
“Mulan, are you proud?” Mu Zhantian’s face was gloomy and terrible.
“Proud?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows with a half-smile. “You really should be proud of your narrow escape from death.”. After all, it’s better to be alive than dead. It’s only when you’re alive that you can skin your enemies one by one, isn’t it?
Mu Zhantian narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Lan. “Who are you, Mu Lan?”
“Mu Lan, the legitimate daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion.” Mu Lan’s face did not change. “King Yi, if I were you, I wouldn’t have made such a mistake.”
