Chapter 244: The Past
In the cold palace, Mu Qingwan looked at the withered branches outside the window, her eyes were empty and she didn't know what she was thinking, maybe from the moment she entered the cold palace, she was a dead person in the eyes of others.
She also wanted to die in the past, but her Rui'er was still in that person's hands, how could she be willing to let him face the coldness of this world.
There was a crackling sound of firecrackers outside the cold palace, and everyone's pious prayers followed the cold winter wind into the dark and barren cold palace, she turned around stiffly, and asked a palace maid in a hoarse and ugly voice, "What's going on outside?"
The palace maid listened to this annoying voice, and said coldly, "Don't you know the queen mother? Oh no, you are a waste person now, hehe, Qiyu Guan Niangniang, now is the blessing ceremony of His Majesty and the concubine Niangniang, it's really pitiful, Niangniang, you can't go and see it with your own eyes."
Listening to the sarcastic words of the palace maid, Mu Qingwan's originally dead heart was flooded with a trace of waves, and Rui'er and the Mu family, who she was thinking about, didn't know what was going on.
Although she had long been accustomed to the ridicule of this palace maid, but her heart was still a little uneasy, she glanced at this palace maid, slowly walked to the bedside, took out a golden hairpin inlaid with milky white pearls from a wooden box, it was worth a lot of money at a glance, and asked, "Do you want it?"
The palace maid looked at the golden hairpin in her hand in surprise, and said secretly, "I didn't expect this slut to hide such a good thing, and sure enough, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse."
So she pretended to be blessed by Mu Qingwan, reluctantly bowed, and asked, "Niangniang, what else do you command?"
Mu Qingwan looked at the greedy light in her eyes, and was extremely sarcastic, "Do you know what happened to the Mu family and the five princes?"
Before the palace maid could answer, a soft and bone-soft voice came in,
"Yo, sister, you want to know how the Mu family and the five princes are doing, why do you need to ask this useless slave, just ask my sister and me, my sister is very willing to answer my sister's questions."
Mu Qingwan followed the voice and looked towards the door, and saw a slender figure slowly coming down from the golden luan frame, wearing a long red dress, which was densely tattooed with countless dark golden peonies, her long black hair was decorated with gold rings, and the woman who was full of grace and luxury pierced her heart deeply.
The golden step swaying accompanied by the afternoon sunset, flashing with a small light, it was such a beautiful person, but unfortunately, that kind of scenery no longer belonged to her.
Her eyes flashed over the scarred face in the mirror, and she fell silent. "Oh~ Sister, don't you really want to know?
I heard that the Mu family is very bold now, and they want to rebel on the emperor's wedding day, but fortunately, the emperor is wise and martial, and he has seen through the conspiracy of the Mu family.
"Hehe, this huge Mu family has fallen like this, it's a pity, my good sister, do you know, the current Mu family is not the Mu family that was at its peak at the beginning, and the Mu family who collaborated with the enemy and treason is now being shouted and beaten by everyone.
Mu Qingwan looked at her blankly, she couldn't believe that the Mu family, who had an army of 100,000 in her hands, would become like this, and how could he be so ruthless, his throne was all won by the Mu family's bloody battles.
After her eyes cleared a little, she asked unwillingly: "How is it possible, my father has 100,000 male soldiers in his hands, how can Your Majesty be so ruthless, I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
Yes, she doesn't believe it, she doesn't believe that the tender person in the past, who was gentle to her in every way, would become so hateful, the original mountain alliance and sea oath, life and death depended on each other, desperately saving each other was a dream, she didn't believe it, she didn't believe it.
Mu Qingwan raised her head and looked at Mu Qingxiao, Mu Qingxiao looked at her in disbelief, and smiled contemptuously: "This is still due to the fact that you have a good father, your father really handed over the tiger talisman in order to save you, and naively thought that you would dominate the world with the queen supreme phoenix, but I didn't know that this was just a delaying tactic by Your Majesty." β
"You... What are you talking about, my father is for me..."Mu Qingwan's already crumbling body fell to the ground, "Father, how can you be so stupid, father, I'm sorry, it's my fault, why, why do you have to bear these for me" Two lines of tears of remorse flowed from her cheeks to her heart.
"Hehe, Mu Qingwan, you are really naΓ―ve" Hearing Mu Qingxiao's indifferent tone, she slowly opened her eyes and asked in disbelief: "Aren't you a member of the Mu family, how can you be indifferent, I know you have a lot of opinions about me, but we are a family whose blood is thicker than water." β
"Hehe" Mu Qingxiao was about to laugh out of tears when she heard her words, "Who told you that we are a family, your stupid father who has always wanted to repay his kindness?"
"My father is the prime minister of the dynasty, the pavilion master of the Shadow Pavilion, how can he be a family with you, your stupid father is just a tool to pave the way in my father's hands"
"Just that little kindness at the beginning was just a calculation by my father, so that your father would die to fight and serve my father. β
"And do you remember your brother, let me tell you that the child is not dead,
But it's almost like death, because my uncle Wan Poison likes him very much, he is a rare poison in a hundred years, and your mother is not dead, she was saved by my uncle, why save her?
It's only to blame your mother for being too beautiful, the name of the world's first beauty is indeed well deserved, and my uncle worked hard to find a stand-in for your mother to die.
I heard that your mother can be moisturized now, that figure can be more wonderful than the Oiran of the Qinglou, my uncle tasted your mother once, I think it is very beautiful, so generously gave it to the guards who guarded him, your mother is really charming, is being a bride every night. β
"You... You vicious woman" Mu Qingwan's heart was dripping blood at the moment, her mother was so gentle and kind, how could they, how could they be so cruel to her mother. "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you" Mu Qingwan held the golden hairpin in her hand tightly and rushed forward, but before she could make a move, she was kicked to the ground.
"Sister, why are you still like this, so stupid, it seems that the lesson I gave you is not enough, come on, bring this slut's mother up."
"Yes, Queen Mother" Hearing the voice of this female official, Mu Qingwan was shocked, and the female official who responded saw her unbelievable appearance, smiled contemptuously, and slowly retreated. Only Mu Qingwan, who was on the verge of collapse, remained.
"Haha, it turns out, so it sees, I said why my Rui'er is always sick, why is there any movement in Changchun Palace, Chuxiu Palace immediately knows, Jinxiu, you are worthy of being my personal maid. β
