Chapter Twenty-Seven: Elm Head
Ma Cong devoted almost all of his time to Li Mu'er. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Mu'er doesn't have to worry about anything, she stretches out her hand to open her mouth. Ma Cong didn't even worry about calling the girl, and wanted to do everything himself.
made Li Mu'er so embarrassed, although the two of them had no guesses, but after all, everyone has grown up.
But what made Li Muer most unhappy was that Ma Cong seemed to have something to hide from her.
She knew him too well, this straight-hearted man, with everything written on his face. Doubts are written on the face, anxiety is written on the face, and concealment is also written on the face.
She asked him when he would return to the palace, and he replied when he was completely healed. She asked him where the white fungus was, and he replied that it was inconvenient to come out of the palace. She asked him how the case was closed, and he replied that he didn't know if it was closed anyway. She asked him where it was, and he replied that you'll find out when you get out of bed.
She wanted to struggle to get out of bed, but he pressed her back to the bed and clicked on the acupoint.
It's over, she's under house arrest.
It seems that this guy won't let her go until she is fully raised. But how long does this have to be raised, when will she be able to see the person she is thinking about!
He didn't come to visit her either?
Finally, one day, taking advantage of the horse's unpreparedness, she slipped out of bed.
I finally opened the door and crashed into a strong chest. The other said, "Do you believe that I tied you up?"
She has plenty of reason to believe it.
But she still saw where she was, isn't this her brother's family? That day, it was the mooncake hidden at the table in the courtyard.
Mooncake ......
Seeing that she was stupid and didn't speak, Ma Cong put his hand on her forehead and asked, "What?" Really burned out your brain? ”
Li Mu'er came back to her senses at this time, took a deep breath and said, "Don't bully me and I can't beat you now." Brother Cong, you are a good person, but you are too elm head..."
"What's wrong with me?" Ma Cong picked her up horizontally and put her back on the bed.
"You brought me to my brother's house, but you didn't let him see me." Li Mu'er leaned on the head of the bed and said calmly, "Say, what do you have to hide from me?" ”
The corners of Ma Cong's mouth twitched, and he sat on the bed, so frightened that the bed trembled, "I didn't hide anything from you, and I don't know anything." I didn't let my brother see you, because I was afraid that you would reveal your identity by asking questions. If he learns who you are, it will be bad for you and for him. ”
"Who am I? Assassinate the identity of the emperor? ”
Before Li Mu'er finished speaking, she heard someone stumbling at the door.
"Brother?!" Ma Cong and Li Mu'er shouted together.
"Hehe, hehe, what," Qian Fu embarrassedly opened the folding fan in his hand, "I saw that the door was not closed, I thought something had happened to you, so I came over to take a look, come and see." ”
Li Mu'er was amused by him, "Brother, you're done now." You've heard it all, what is my identity, you took me in, and you're also a capital offense, haha! ”
Qian Fu hurriedly closed the door, came over and knocked Li Mu'er's head, "What are you talking nonsense, beware of letting outsiders hear." ”
Li Mu'er couldn't raise her hand, so she had to grin and say, "Brother is so heavy!" I'm used to talking to Brother Cong, and I'm really going to hurt my brother now. ”
Ma Cong scolded that she deserved it, but quickly reached out to help her rub her head.
Qian Fu looked at the two of them and sighed in his heart, such a flowery life seemed to be far away from him.
Life has been in a hurry for decades, and it is difficult to find beautiful women, but it is even more difficult to find confidants.
The two of them looked at him together, and he paced to the edge of the stool and sat down and said slowly, "Do you really think that I can't see anything?" The female official of the inner court, who was seriously injured, kept it a secret and took refuge in the palace. Yingzhong, it's time to tell your brother what happened. ”
Li Mu'er looked at him, then at Ma Cong, and told the story of that night in 1510.
Ma Cong also heard what happened for the first time, and was angry at Zheng Jinlian's ill-intentioned intentions, thinking that Li Mu'er hurriedly returned to the palace just to talk to Zhu Youji, but such a clever person also fell into the trap of others, and he felt even more heartbroken.
Qian Fu asked her very calmly: "Yingzhong, have you ever thought about why your sword is hanging there?"
"I don't know. What my brother means is that this sword is the key to clearing my name. When I entered the temple empty-handed, how could I go to assassinate? Li Mu'er guessed.
"No," Qian Fu shook his head, "If you want to be wronged, what does it matter where you get the weapon, just hold it the moment you catch you." ”
Li Mu'er agreed, "Yes, the guards at the door must have been arranged by her." But why did she want to hurt me? ”
Qian Fu got up and went over to knock her again, "Don't care why she hurt you." I just want to tell you that if she wants to harm you, she only needs one side, and if the emperor saves you, it will be just a matter of one sentence. It's like those two swords, she said that what is yours is yours, but the emperor said that it is not yours, then it must not be yours. ”
Li Mu'er was stunned by him, "Brother just wants to say that everything is decided by the emperor." The emperor is the king of a country, and of course whatever he says is what he says, so I am sitting here and talking to you without anything. ”
"Wrong again!" Qian Fu smiled, "Everything has to be evidenced, but it just so happens that the emperor is the biggest witness and evidence in your case, it depends on who the emperor protects." ”
"Naturally, it's ...... protection" Li Mu'er almost blurted out the word "me", blushing and lowering her head and laughing.
Ma Cong listened to it for a long time, but at this moment he understood, but unfortunately, Mu'er was afraid that he had guessed wrong.
can only let her think like this for the time being, and heal her injuries with peace of mind.
But when she is well, will she be willing to leave with her?
…………………………
Li Muer was a little bit of Qian Fu and was in a good mood. From then on, she didn't use her hands anymore, for fear that the root of the disease would affect her to sharpen ink and write for Zhu Youji.
But the feet were neat, but he was confined to the house by Ma Cong, and was not allowed to go out of the door. She understands Zhu Youzhu and Ma Cong's hard work, and in order to protect her from being assassinated, she must have concealed her whereabouts from the outside world.
Naturally obedient and obedient.
Until this morning, an acquaintance appeared.
At the end of autumn, the autumn flowers were withering and bleak, and the autumn rain was continuous, Li Muer was leaning on the window to listen to the rain, trying to create art, but heard a rapid knock on the door outside the courtyard.
The man knocked for a long time, and then she called the girl and asked, "Has my brother gone to the Hanlin Academy?"
"Yes, girl."
Li Mu'er beckoned her to push open the window and asked, "What about Brother Cong?"
"I haven't come here yet."
That's right, I have been around her to take care of her at this time in the past.
I had to let the man keep knocking.
But listening to the other party keep calling Master Qian, Li Mu'er felt more and more familiar with the voice.
Seems to be? Mu Bin!
Li Mu'er hurriedly held up an umbrella with the maid to open the door. When Mu Bin saw Li Mu'er standing behind the door, his face changed in an instant, and he stood in place in shock.
Li Mu'er rarely stretched out her hands to make a big salute, and said with a smile: "Master Mu, please accept my worship, thank you for saving you in the cell."
Only then did Mu Bin help her and said, "Yes, the female bachelor doesn't have to be polite." I said why Ma Cheng kept running here lately, it turned out to be ......"
He thought for a moment and said, "Now, I understand everything." You're going to elope with Ma Chun, aren't you? ”
Li Mu'er was so frightened that she asked Xiaoqing to close the door.
The two walked to the hall, Mu Bin shook the rain on the umbrella on his body, and asked urgently: "Isn't Ma Cong here?" Where the hell has he gone, I've been looking for him for a long time. ”
Li Mu'er sat down at the table and asked calmly: "I don't know what Lord Mu came to him for today?"
Mu Bin sighed: "Two things, one is that the head of the Jinyi Guard's guard has commanded Lord Zhu to fall ill, and Lord Zhu is our teacher, so he should visit." The second is Master Ma, that is, Ma Cong's father, who found the yamen. I can carry it for you, and I didn't tell him that Ma Cong had resigned. ”
What the?! Hearing this, Li Mu'er unconsciously propped her hands on the table, and the wound on her shoulder was followed by a burst of pain. She pretended to be calm and asked Mu Bin: "When did he resign?" ”
"Not long after I went to the Criminal Department to see you that day, I said that the emperor directly allowed it, and now I haven't said it, only I know." Mu Bin raised his eyebrows and continued, "Don't worry, he is my best brother, I know that he has a deep affection for you, and I will keep it a secret for you." When your elopement is successful, remember to send me a letter. ”
Mu Bin recalled the brotherhood of the past, and wished her and Ma Cong a long time, chattering a lot, without noticing how ugly Li Muer's expression had become.
When Ma Cong came back, before she got close to Li Mu'er, she noticed the strange atmosphere around her.
She sat in the hall with one hand hanging at her side, one hand resting on the table, and even a teacup in her hand. Looking at him with a slight smile, he asked gently, "Brother Cong, where have you been?" ”
Ma Cong took the teacup in her hand, poured water, and said, "Are you thirsty, you don't see me, and you're not happy?" Why don't you call the girl to feed? ”
"Where have you been?" Li Mu'er asked again.
"Naturally, I'm going to the Yamen," Ma Cong handed the water to her lips and choked her, "You are now a holy family, and I can't get an empty salary." ”
"Oh." Li Mu'er took a sip of his hand, and said lightly, "Then when are you going to take me away?" ”
The water in the cup rippled, and Ma Cong pretended to be calm and asked, "Go?" Where to go? You're not hurting. ”
Li Mu'er reached out and took the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you're ready to take me away and fly away, isn't it better to control the injury if it's not good?" ”
Ma Cong was startled, and then felt relaxed, how could he feel good in his heart by hiding it from her for the past few days, he smiled bitterly, "You know? You still know. ”
"Yes, I see." Li Mu'er raised her glass with trembling hands and took another sip of water, "Let me guess, he ...... Although the emperor helped me settle the assassination incident, He Qiaoxin must have taken the opportunity to propose that he could no longer keep me in the palace. The fact that you can take me out of the Criminal Department so easily means that the emperor has agreed to his conditions. On the condition that I leave? ”
Ma Cong didn't answer, she continued: "Having said that, in fact, Zheng Jinlian's purpose is just to let me leave. Hmph, what assassin is not an assassin, who else will care. ”
Ma Cong hurriedly said: "This is also very good, there are many rights and wrongs in the palace, and now the emperor will not investigate your assassination crime and return you to freedom, isn't it the best result?"
Li Mu'er sneered, "Who told you that this is the best result?" Who would have thought that this would be the best outcome for me? ”
"Mu'er," Ma Cong suddenly said solemnly, "no matter what, I must take you away this time." I'm ready, I'll tie you up if you don't want to, don't blame me. ”
Li Mu'er surprisingly regained her composure, closed her eyes and said, "I don't blame you, and I don't blame him." You are indeed doing it for my good, I can understand that. I'll go with you. ”
Ma Cong was pleasantly surprised, "Really? Did you really figure it out? ”
Li Mu'er looked into his eyes and said, "I only have one condition, help me get the white fungus out, she is my sister, I want to take her with me."
Hearing this, Ma Cong was stunned. , How could he not have thought of this, he had planned everything recently, but when he thought of white fungus, he knew that Li Mu'er would definitely attach importance to her, so he entered the palace today and asked Zhu Youzhu for white fungus.
However, Zhu Youzhu refused to let her go for some reason.
Ma Cong had no choice but to make another plan, and first promised her: "Okay, I will take her out, anyway, your injury still needs some time to recover, and I also need to prepare well."
Li Mu'er saw that he hesitated for a while, and her heart hurt as if she had been pricked by a needle. He only said: "Brother Cong, you don't have to come to me often these days, you have so many things to prepare, so many people to say goodbye, so accompany them well." I'm not going to run, and I need to spend more time with my brother and say goodbye. ”
Seeing her talking calmly, Ma Cong couldn't help but be overjoyed. After all, she still has affection for him and is willing to go with him. Thinking that she could stay with her at the ends of the earth in the future, Ma Cong felt very happy. According to what she said, she went out to find Mu Bin.
Li Mu'er looked at Ma Cong's cheerful back, but her eyes were full of guilt.
