79. Chapter 78
Mu Junning heard Taiping's report that Fu Chen wanted to buy some food for her and Yongle to buy some food in Zuixianlou, and a touch of sweetness crossed her heart.
It's just that after dinner, no one comes back.
Although Fu Chen is a slippery person, he will not make up what he has said in general, and if he doesn't come back so late, there shouldn't be any accidents, right?
Seeing that Mu Junning ordered Mo Hua and the others to wait in front of the palace gate for the third time, Princess Yongle, who had been quiet on the side, suddenly spoke, "Mother, are you too concerned about a minion, maybe there is something delayed when you come back late, why ask again and again." β
found that there was something wrong with Yongle's appearance, this daughter has always been docile on weekdays, and there was almost no thorn in her words.
Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Mu Junning vaguely noticed that her daughter was hiding something from her, "Le'er, what's wrong with you?"
Yongle wanted to speak and stopped, although she felt that Fu Chen's death was the best choice, but she had never disobeyed her mother like this since she was a child, and she wanted to stop talking, so let this matter end slowly, maybe she couldn't bear it, yes, she was amazing when she saw her mother dancing, and she could see that her mother was very happy at that time.
Did she do something wrong, the mother concubine lived so depressed in this harem, and there were so few happy days, why didn't she continue to help them hide it? It's that her mother really broke the rules, and she risked her life to hide it for them.
The guilt and panic in his heart made Yongle twitch and bury his head in it, his eyes glazed, and this strange collision made Mu Junning unable to ignore it.
"Le'er, what are you hiding!"
can't withstand the torture of conscience, this is an indirect harm to her. Yongle explained his and Xin Yi's plans and plans, how to use Fu Chen's trust to knock him unconscious, how to stuff him into a wooden box and transport it out, and how to plan to "bury" him.
"Why, do it. Mu Junning's face was as white as paper, full of disbelief, and Fu Chen's smile that day was still vivid.
"Mother, have you ever thought about it, if this matter is discovered by the emperor, it is the crime of killing the head, and this matter will make the Mu family beheaded. Yongle came back from his trance and shook his head again, "Originally, my daughter thought that he was your slave, even if you really had a heart for him, you might be looking for some sustenance, you must be more measured than me, what to do and what not to do." But when I saw you dancing for him today, I never knew you could dance, and I made an exception for him. After he reminded you of that, the look on your face, your daughter was afraid that you would ruin herself...... If he can answer you, I will surely fulfill you, just as I did last time. β
It is said that the scroll will be burned and the evidence will be destroyed.
"But he didn't, he only had ambition in his eyes, maybe you were just a springboard for him! Yongle suddenly became excited, "Mother, my daughter is only you and An Lin, you are my most important people." Since I was a child, you have told me that there is no true love in the palace, and whoever uses it will dig his own grave. If something happens to you, have you thought about what I should do? Don't be stupid anymore, okay......"
She covered her face, her slender shoulders trembling slightly.
I don't know if these words really poked at Mu Junning's most secret place, or if she was so angry with her daughter that she staggered back two steps, and actually had a withered atmosphere.
"It's me who is using him, he thinks of everything I want for me, and I do what I can't think of, and I really owe him, and I owe him a lot. Do you know that he helped you, if it weren't for his reminder, I don't know when I would be able to break the horse, he even said to me, we want to make the princess beautiful, he wants to give you a beautiful marriage, but you want his life. Mu Junning said quietly, bursting into tears, "Besides, neither I nor him will cross the line." β
Because, he is more sober than anyone else.
He knew what she wanted, and he knew when to remind her.
"Mother, what are you talking about!?" Yongle only felt a buzzing in her ears, she didn't know how she should face Fu Chen, what kind of face she ......had?" My benefactor, I ............"
"Yongle, the mother concubine is not qualified to be stupid, if you really don't worry about the mother concubine. Mu Junning paused, as if he was controlling his feelings, so that he would not be too out of shape. "Then I'll ...... Transfer him elsewhere. β
Chonghua Palace.
A servant came in and reported, "Your Highness, Emperor Jin's concubine is here." β
The incense burner on the desk in the study was lingering with a faint smoke, and the Seven Princes were surrounded by a touch of tranquility, but they kept writing when they heard the words, and they hooked the last stroke, and then put the Xuanbi Pavilion on the inkstone, and said lightly: "Please come in."
When Mu Junning came to the main hall, the eyes of the two collided in the air, and the feeling of oppression was about to erupt. Shao Huachi's cold expression first smiled, adding a bit of elegance.
The prince is in a metamorphosis, and every day seems to be different from the day before.
"The imperial concubine is really a rare guest, if you have something to tell Hua Chi, just send someone, Hua Chi does not dare to slack off. Shao Huachi first saluted, and then let people serve tea, there was no mistake in the etiquette, and the whole attitude was very respectful, as if he had completely forgotten that he asked Concubine De to transfer Fu Chen to himself a few days ago, and threatened him with the position of Concubine De.
It's just that unexpectedly, this woman is very capable, or Fu Chen is too capable, so that not only did she reset, but even the position that she hadn't touched for more than ten years went up one level, becoming the first person under the queen.
Since then, there has been a gap between these two people who do not interfere with the river water, but the concubine and the prince are two fields, and the two rarely intersect, so outsiders naturally can't see the slightest.
Seeing the look of the imperial concubine, Shao Huachi asked people to retreat, and let the tricksters stay outside the door.
Mu Junning said about the whole process, Fu Chen was in danger, and hoped that he could make a move. Fu Chen once revealed one or two, she knew that this prince was not so incompetent on the face.
It's just that a master to save people will inevitably go beyond the rules, but she doesn't have the slightest eyeliner outside the palace, and the seventh son once said that she wants Fu Chen, she believes that the palace will save Fu Chen, Shao Huachi should be counted as one, she has no way out, so she has to come over and try hard.
Shao Huachi's eyes were calm and unmoved.
Turning to Mu Junning, she had delicate makeup on her face, wearing the clothes of the imperial concubine, she was one of the most noble women in the world, her straight back was only slightly bent down until this moment, and it was extremely rare to exude a touch of begging that could not be mistaken, Shao Huachi seemed to realize something, and tore out a cruel smile, "The princess has always been lenient and understanding, why did she do that, did you cross the rules with him?"
Mu Junning's breathing stagnated, and his expression was calm.
"It's really ridiculous, the dignified concubine begged me for a minion, it's just ridiculous and generous!Funny world!" Opened his sleeves, walked away, and when he passed by Mu Junning's side, he seemed to be kind and reminded, "Imperial concubine, if you don't want to sit in this position, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, it's just today, I shouldn't have heard it." β
The sound of footsteps on the ground seemed to remind her that the person's life was at stake.
It wasn't until this moment that she was empowered, and there was a feeling that when she thought she could completely retract it freely, it was already too late, but she wanted to cover it up, thinking that no one could knock it out if she covered it with a layer of cloth, and she couldn't see it.
"Wait, Seven Princes. β
"Is there anything else going on with the imperial concubine?" Shao Huachi turned his head, his eyes froze, and he saw that the woman who had always been outstanding and could be called a model of harem women knelt down.
The dignified concubine actually knelt down to him as a prince!
She lowered her high head, although she was a concubine, but since she entered the prince's mansion at the age of thirteen, she has been favored so far, and only others have begged her for her share. She spat out the words that she had never bowed to anyone in her life, "Please, save him...... Save Fu Chen. β
"Does he deserve to be like this?" Shao Huachi asked when he heard himself.
Prostrate on the ground, the woman's slender fingers seemed to want to grasp something, but the nails were folded too hard, and the blood made the red nails more and more gorgeous.
She was silent, but he understood.
In the thousand-step corridor, Shao Huachi walked towards the East Xuanmen. After the trick followed, he heard Shao Huachi's voice that he couldn't distinguish between love, which sounded in the night sky, trembling slightly, "I pretended not to know about his private staff, and I didn't see him when he committed the crime, he disobeyed me many times, and I also disobeyed him, and even proved that he was my most important adviser many times, I sued sΓΉ to gamble on myself, and exchanged my sincerity for sincerity, he will not betray me." β
"Your Highness......"
"These things are like slaps in the face to me, telling me how stupid I am! Those trusts are like bullshit! Why do you say that he entered the palace of Concubine De before he became my advisor, and who was the person he originally wanted? And why did he treat a woman so attentively, would he have no purpose? Does he seem to be a useless person? He treats everyone like a monkey, does he think that he is the only one in the world who is smart, and everyone else is as stupid as a pig!?"
"Calm down, the wall has ears!" The trickster reminded softly, fortunately, the palace has been reorganized in the past few days, and there are many fewer servants in the palace, even on the thousand-step corridor where the eunuchs come and go on weekdays.
Shao Huachi just sneered, the scene of Mu Junning prostrate at his feet made him see something clearly and understand something, "I am very calm, I have never been so calm since I was born." I was enlightened today, why did she do this for him, what did he do to make her so desperate? Don't think I don't know what kind of woman Concubine De is, she is like this, looking at kindness and kindness, she actually doesn't look at anyone, looking at grace but colder than anyone else, and she looks down on slaves deeply, even a pet by her side is probably more important than a slave, but that's how she begged me for a slave, isn't it ridiculous, but I can't laugh, it's true that he stays there with my orders, but I have been ignoring it, what about his initial choice, whose mother is Concubine De? If you have never been loyal then how can you betray? Did he never choose...... Me?"
Shao Huachi's voice gradually lowered, melting into the darkness.
It had been half an hour since Suyu came to the courtyard of the Seven Princes in Dongyu Lane, and when he saw that scene outside the palace, he was ordered by Fu Chen not to startle the snake, and to find the Seven Princes as quickly as possible. Fu Chen had already expected that there would be some action in the next few days when Xin Yi left, so he sent someone to follow him, but the other party was so powerful that even the leader was a figure who couldn't move temporarily, they couldn't startle the snake, but fell into danger for Fu Chen.
After Shuyu's report, Shao Huachi maintained the action of sitting on the chair, leisurely.
There was a sense of depression lingering in the air, and Su Yu knelt down suddenly, prostrate on the ground, and repeated again, "Ask Your Highness to send someone to save Fu Chen." β
He felt that His Highness was stalling for time.
Even...... Not at all going to make a move.
Shao Huachi seemed to have discovered his existence at this point, his stagnant gaze moved slightly, and he looked down condescendingly, deep and bottomless.
The wind from outside the window lattice blew through the candle flame, and the fire shone on half of Shao Huachi's jade-like face, and the part under the mask seemed to hide some unknown feelings, which deteriorated and fermented in a dark and damp place until they erupted at an appropriate moment.
Shu Yu's hands hung on both sides, and the blue and white bones protruded, "Your Highness, our people have found their traces in the cemetery in the southeast. β
"Man, to live, is his luck; Dead, it's his life. Shao Huachi took a sip of tea and spit out a paragraph slowly.
"Fu Chen is loyal to you, if you lose him, you will lose one less general!" At least for now, as Fu Chen's cronies, he knows that his master is towards His Highness, otherwise why make such arrangements, "Aren't you afraid that this will chill the hearts of your subordinates?"
You treat your cronies like this, who will dare to follow you wholeheartedly in the future?
Shao Huachi came to Shuyu, and the eyes that had been struggling fiercely were already calm, and they couldn't reflect any light.
"What are you, do you have a place to speak, um? You should be glad that you are his man, if not, your neck should be gone. Shao Huachi spoke softly, his shoes stepped on the back of Shuyu's hand sticking to the ground, Shuyu's face was twisted in pain, the pair of python shoes were crushed and crushed, and the pain of ten fingers and heart made Shuyu speechless, only listening to Shao Huachi's indifferent voice above, "No one is qualified to intervene in the matter between me and him." β
Suyu lowered her head in despair, a mixture of pain and urgency.
Yes, His Royal Highness takes a fancy to Fu Chen again, why should he personally save people, Fu Chen is just a subordinate in the end.
But your Highness, you are so clever, don't you understand why he chose a man to put him to death if he knew that you were deliberately delaying your time and watching others kill him, if he survived? With the choice available to him at the moment, there are so many princes, it is not necessary for you, but he will still be loyal to you wholeheartedly? He is not your tiger ben, and there is no need to be loyal to anyone.
It was you who provoked him, but now you ignore it.
There is no love without a cause, and there is no allegiance without a cause.
You're pushing him to the opposite side yourself!
You can't push him like that!
The trickster came back and came to Shao Huachi's side.
After listening to the other party's report, Shao Huachi was slightly cold, and after a while, he moved the soles of his boots that seemed to be glued to the ground, and said expressionlessly: "Suyu stays, and the others go with me." β
