Chapter Eighty-Eight: Before Dying
It was Mu Qinyi who rescued Baojuan from prison, which Mu Chenghuang can fully imagine, the master and servant always have endless words to say when they meet, but this is a special period, although the situation in the palace has stabilized, but Mu Xiangbai and Mu You are still outside the palace, as if this palace has been protected by Mu Qinyi like an iron pass, but there is always something in hand, and there will always be accidents.
Mu Chenghuang briefly said something to Baojuan, roughly that is, how Wenzhi is, or how Wenzhi and Zhang Tingyu are, and what happened to him along the way, he said it very simply, and said that it was very painful, but he only mentioned it in one sentence.
"It's not easy for the slave to listen to the master's journey, but fortunately, now that there is a prince, everything is fixed." Baojuan was comforted, and the dark circles under her eyes seemed to jump along with the freckles on her face.
Although Mu Chenghuang knew in his heart that Mu Qinyi could handle all things, after all, it was his own man, even if he was strong, he would worry about it, but for Baojuan, Mu Chenghuang didn't want to say so much to make Baojuan worry, so he just nodded, which was regarded as a praise for what Baojuan said, but when the two were chatting, they kept seeing a man standing there trembling in the corner, he was wearing the clothes of Mu Qinyi's army, but he looked much haggard than other soldiers. And everyone else was sent by Mu Qinyi to protect Mu Chenghuang, and his attention was naturally on Mu Chenghuang, but this person's attention was always on Baojuan.
This kind of affectionate and worried look, Mu Chenghuang has also seen it, this man's eyes looking at Baojuan, just like Mu Qinyi looked at himself back then, this kind of look can only be seen by a man looking at his beloved woman.
"Who's that man?" Mu Chenghuang asked Baojuan without a trace, his eyes deliberately turned elsewhere, so as not to be discovered, Baojuan glanced at the person, and the man immediately found that Baojuan's attention was coming to this side, almost instantly, he moved the eyes that were originally fixed on Baojuan's body, and looked away suddenly, Xu was too rusty, maybe he looked at Baojuan too seriously before, and he didn't react at once, and the man's pretended to be nothing completely fell into the eyes of Baojuan and others.
Baojuan's face immediately flushed, and he whispered to Mu Chenghuang: "The fifth princess still remembers that there was also a big brother surnamed Guo who was imprisoned with the slave maid at that time, and he was a person next to the prince. ”
Well, Mu Chenghuang has an impression, at that time, there was a very responsible shadow guard who came forward to protect Baojuan, Mu Chenghuang glanced at the person again, and saw that although the person looked a little haggard, he must have been tortured a lot in prison, but he still looked more energetic than ordinary people, and it must not be easy to think that he could become Mu Qin Yi Yingwei.
In fact, even if it is an extremely ordinary person, he can come out to help Baojuan in such a righteous way in a crisis, which shows that this person has a good temperament.
"If you like it, when the world is too peaceful, I can help you say a few words." Mu Chenghuang nodded, and had already begun to seriously think about the marriage of his maidservant.
"What are the fifth princesses talking about, why can't the slave and maid understand?" Baojuan is a person who can't hide his expression on his face after all, although he has been very appreciative in his heart, and he clearly knows that the friendship between the two in prison has been decided, and Lang has the intention of having a concubine, but listening to Mu Chenghuang talk about marriage so bluntly, he still has to have a little girlish resentment.
"You're really, it's not like you, didn't you say before, the most important thing is to save enough silver to give yourself a tablet, now it's okay, you know everything about the name and surname of this tablet."
Baojuan's face turned even redder when she brushed the ground, and said coquettishly: "The fifth princess is back this time, and it will be different from before."
Are you different from before? Maybe, but Mu Chenghuang didn't feel that bad.
Seeing that it is about to go to the dormitory where he lived before, Jinglan Palace has been abandoned for a long time and no one has cleaned it, the flowers and plants that originally needed to be carefully pruned have grown all over the palace, the pillars in front of the dormitory are overgrown with climbing vine plants, and a huge wisteria is wrapped around the beam, the vine seems to have built a barrier for the beam, and the small purple flowers hang down the vines, so it looks very good-looking at that time.
Mu Chenghuang looked up at the beautiful scenery on the beams of this house, and was about to push open the door and enter.
Suddenly, a scolding came from nowhere, causing Mu Chenghuang's hand to pause for a moment, and the shadow guard surnamed Guo quickly stepped forward, rushed into the door, and knocked down a person with a dagger in the dormitory.
Mu Chenghuang quickly calmed down, if it was before, she was afraid that she would scream like an ordinary woman, but now that she has experienced too many things, this is nothing.
Mu Chenghuang walked into the hall quickly, the shadow guard had already subdued the person hidden in Mu Chenghuang's bedroom, Guo Yingwei forcibly raised this person's head to Mu Chenghuang, and a shadow guard next to him also pulled out the second person in the dormitory from the corner, who was also a woman.
"Qi Baozhu?" Mu Chenghuang's tone changed slightly, she never thought that the scene of her reunion with Qi Baozhu would be like this, and the person who was pulled out next to her, without thinking, must be Ah Xin.
This Ah Xin followed Mu Chengyao before, suffered a lot of grievances, and finally took the black pot for Mu Chengyao and was disliked, and later followed Qi Baozhu in the Ye Court Bureau, and then he was 120,000 points of loyalty, thinking of Mu Chengyao, Mu Chenghuang suddenly thought of the news that when he came back from the Jinluan Palace just now, Baibu Yang told him the news of Mu Chengyao.
It turned out that this Mu Chengyao wanted to use the same method to win over Mu Xiangbai, but it was just a beauty trick, Mu Chengyao was beautiful, this is true, but it is a pity that Mu Xiangbai's heart is all on the eldest princess, and when he was drunk and impatient again, he directly solved Mu Chengyao's name with a sword.
Mu Chenghuang looked at Ah Xin's death-defying eyes, Ah Xin is really only good to Qi Baozhu, if Ah Xin knows that Mu Chengyao has died tragically, I don't know what she will think, maybe she will be happy, maybe, she doesn't care about this person at all.
"Five princesses, using daggers to defend themselves is made by slaves, and it has nothing to do with Niangniang, please five princesses, for the sake of the past, spare Niangniang's life, what's more, we are hiding in the palace, Niangniang doesn't know that the person who came is the fifth princess, the fifth princess, you can come back, we are all happy for you, how can we harm you?"
Ah Xin kowtowed vigorously to Mu Chenghuang, this is a very nice thing to say, but Mu Chenghuang knows very well that it was Qi Baozhu who Guo Yingwei knocked down just now, and the person holding the dagger was Qi Baozhu, he had been talking outside for so long, and Baojuan kept shouting about how the five princesses were and how the five princesses were, Qi Baozhu would not know that it was not himself who came.
Mu Chenghuang looked at Qi Baozhu, who was forcibly raised by Guo Yingwei and looked at him, and suddenly felt as if his head was stung by something.
At this time, Qi Baozhu was tenacious, stubborn, and arrogant like a plum blossom growing in the snow.
Qi Baozhu, who only cared about eating on the stage back then, seemed to have completely disappeared, but Qi Baozhu's appearance of holding a plate to let him take less silver was still in Mu Chenghuang's mind, as if it happened yesterday, she and Qi Baozhu couldn't talk about a deep friendship, but they also watched how Qi Baozhu went from a small girl to today step by step.
"After all, I made the wrong bet." Qi Baozhu shook his head, and asked Mu Chenghuang again, "Is the emperor dead?" ”
Mu Chenghuang lowered his head and didn't speak, just looked sideways at Baojuan and Red Sleeves, and ordered: "You send someone to take Wenzhi and Shen Ke over, it's safe here, Baojuan, I haven't seen Wenzhi for a long time, I'm afraid I have something to say slowly." ”
The implication is that they want to separate the two of them, and the two of them also understand, but they just retreat silently.
Qi Baozhu saw that Mu Chenghuang didn't answer him directly, so he muttered to himself: "Then he should be dead." ”
"You never made the wrong bet," Mu Chenghuang shook his head, "Life shouldn't have pinned your hopes on others, you bet that Mu Yuanan can be beautiful for a lifetime, and take you to soar, you are tied to him, you have so many opportunities to choose for yourself, why don't you choose?" ”
"If you have a choice? Why should I do this? ”
"Why can't you choose?" Mu Chenghuang couldn't help but raise his tone a little, "You could have not followed Mu Yuan'an to besiege this small world, what can I give you here?" Aside from the name of Rufei, is he good to you? He's just a man-eating demon, whoever he treats, it's all used by the advantageous, and the unprofitable are thrown away, don't you understand? ”
"Yes," Qi Baozhu shook his head, in fact, Mu Chenghuang also said it to her heart, "Although the name Rufei looks useless, at least, when I die, the history books will write that the first emperor Rufei died in the palace, not a person who no one knows at all." ”
"Do you think history books will really record like this?" Mu Chenghuang chuckled, with some pitiful taste, "History books have always been written by the victors, as long as the prince doesn't like it, everything here is nothingness in the history books, maybe, there will be no person like me in the history books, maybe, there is no such mutiny and rebellion in the history books at all, what do you think?" ”
Qi Baozhu's eyes were extremely desolate, she suddenly didn't know what she had struggled for so long, what it was for, she looked at the splendid robe on her body, this is the Shu brocade transported from the southwest, it takes ten years to get a horse, and the robe on her body can only be made with one and a half horses, what a glory this is.
"At least, I died in the most beautiful clothes, and at least, when I died, there would be people who knew what if I were a woman? It's just that the girl who likes to eat? At this moment, are you still willing to stand in front of me and talk to me? ”
