Chapter 9: The Dark Fragrance Flows
The afternoon sun was scorching on the ground, and the strong light refracted pierced people's eyes. After Jing Mujue returned home from hunting, Mo Yunya began to report to Jing Mujue the news that Jing Muhui had gone to Fengchan Temple. There is a large locust tree outside the window of the study, and the luxuriant branches and leaves block the scorching sunlight from shining into the window, and the temperature in the room does not seem so high, but it is hot and dry. Jing Mujue took a sip of the chilled bird's nest, looked at Mo Yunya quite leisurely and asked, "So, the seventh brother went to see Qingyue today?" Mo Yunya, who was standing on the side, nodded and said, "I'm afraid yes, when my subordinates went over early this morning, the Seventh Prince said it himself." Later, the subordinates waited for a long time at the gate of the Seven Princes' Mansion and found that the Seven Princes and a woman came out, and the two left in a carriage. Hearing his words, Jing Mujue looked at him suspiciously, and asked in an aggravated tone, "Woman? "Yes!" He nodded in confirmation, "Do you know?" Why did the seventh brother go to Fengchan Temple and bring his female dependents? He pondered, his eyebrows raised and his eyes deep in thought. When her subordinates entered the Seven Kings' Mansion, they had seen her, and her name was Jun Wange. He recalled, "Jun Wange...... It's her? His dark eyes flashed with starlight, recalling that when the class teacher returned to the court, the medical girl Wange, who had a one-sided relationship, smiled shallowly. Mo Yunya barely noticed his meaningful smile, calmly waiting for him to respond. After a long time, Jing Mujue's thin lips opened slightly: "Why did this king forget her, she is the life-saving benefactor of the seventh brother, and the seventh brother may be her credit for becoming like this!" Yunya, you check her background for this king, and this king wants to know a qiē about her. Send someone to closely watch the actions of the Seven Kings' Mansion, and immediately report to the king as soon as there is a situation. "My subordinates understand!" ...... "Are you serious?" As soon as Jing Muyi returned from hunting outside the mansion, the guards in the mansion immediately reported to him that there was something important to tell him, he stood in the study with his hands in his hands, his sword eyebrows wrinkled heavily, he turned his back to the guards kneeling on the ground and asked in a low voice, "Back to the master, my subordinates clearly saw the doctor who saved the Seventh Prince last night secretly meeting with a few people in the broken temple." The guard replied, Jing Muyi remembered Wan Ge who was squatting in front of Mu Hui's bed in the palace that day to take his pulse seriously, and he remembered that he had stared at her thin back for a long time, and later learned that she was the doctor who saved the seventh brother. He remembered that she looked very calm and calm, even in the face of the emperor and still did not hurry to express his opinions, he paid attention to her a little at that time, but he didn't expect ......, "Have you seen who the people who met with Jun Wange clearly?" He turned around and asked, "Well, my subordinates saw that she was out of the house in the dark and her whereabouts were suspicious, so they had no intention of following, and their subordinates didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered by her." The guard whispered, "Then do you see whether she is meeting a man or a woman, and what she does?" He asked patiently, and the guard recalled, "It was two men and a slightly chubby old woman, and the subordinates didn't dare to get too close so they didn't hear what they said." However, as soon as Jun Wange saw them, he knelt on the ground, and the woman went up and slapped Jun Wange, and then the man in purple somehow pulled out the sword in the hand of the man in blue and put it on Jun Wange's neck. Later, he was dissuaded by the other two, and he later got up from the ground and said something and left. Jun Wange's face was pale when he came back, and he almost hit a tree many times. Hearing his words, Jing Muyi's eyes sank, and then fell into deep thought, he dismissed the servant and instructed him not to mention the matter to anyone, then closed the door of the study and fell into deep thought...... "Is it a coincidence or intentional effort that Jun Wange saved the seventh brother?" Who is that man in purple, is it theirs? Why is she still staying in the Seven Kings' Mansion and not leaving, isn't the seventh brother already fine? What was her purpose in staying there? Jun Wange, it seems that this king can't get past you even if he does anything else? Who are you? It seems that to unravel this series of things, you have to ......" Jing Muyi paced back and forth in the room, his fingers slowly tapping on the table, 'It has to start with you!' Gradually, I also finalized my thoughts...... Since seeing Jing Muhui gradually gaining power, the originally deserted palace has now become full of people, especially after learning that the emperor is ready to let Jing Muhui participate in politics, some ministers in the court have come to visit Jing Muhui for various reasons. Mu Hui looked at these ministers who were in the direction of the wind, and when he was in a good mood, he also pretended to be perfunctory and gave an order to expel guests, and when he was in a bad mood, he sent Jun Wange and Ye Zhong to say that his old injury had recurred, and it was inconvenient to see guests. But if he meets some people, Wan Ge can't help it. For example, the Nine Princes Jing Muyu, who was sitting on the main seat of the living room in front of him, leisurely drinking Junshan silver needles. "Wan Ge, don't fool the king with the words of the seventh brother, the seventh brother's injury has already been healed by you. What do you say about the recurrence of the old injury, it is just a pretext made in order to avoid the concubines who mentioned yì to their father and the emperor, where is our seventh brother? The Nine Princes said with a yuppie smile, "Concubine? After listening to what Jing Muyu said, Wan Ge couldn't help but feel that she was concentrating on these two words. Oh, it's the last time the Seventh Brother returned to the court, they mentioned yì and said that the Seventh Brother should get married! Jing Muyu said lightly, raised his eyes to see Wan Ge's slightly heavy expression and quipped, "Could it be...... The reason why you have been staying here is Brother Seven, right? No wonder, if you come to the Nine Kings' Mansion to play, you won't come here, you really won't leave my seventh brother for a moment! "What nonsense are you talking about? I'll go down first, the Seventh Prince will take a rest in Qinxuan, you can wait for yourself! Wan Ge turned around with a red face and wanted to leave, but he pulled him ......, "Okay, okay, this king can shut up, right?" Wange, don't be angry! He said flatteringly, "Don't joke about Wange in the future!" Wan Ge said sternly, "Good, good! However, don't you want to know the reaction of the seventh brother to his father's request for him to take a concubine? He smiled thiefly, and Wan Ge turned around as he had hoped. Uncle Zhong, are you going to see if Brother Qi is awake? Jing Muyu turned around and said, and then pulled Wan Ge to sit next to him and talked excitedly about the banquet. As soon as he said that the emperor asked Mu Hui to get married and Mu Hui was going to answer, two people came to the door...... "Sixth Brother...... Jing Muxuan looked at the person who came in surprise, and then shouted in surprise after seeing another person: "Why is He Ning here?" He Ning dragged Jing Muchen's sleeve and said a little angrily: "Brother Jiu, didn't I say that I wanted you to accompany me to the school field today to practice riding and archery?" Why did you come to Brother Seven, so that I couldn't find anyone in your palace! "Well, you said yes, but the king didn't agree at the time! Besides, this king didn't go to the school field, and you don't know that this king has always disliked dancing and swords, so you better let others accompany you! Jing Muyu said with a smile, "Hmph, I see that you are just busy flirting with her, so you will forget about my sister." He Ning pointed to Wan Ge, who was sitting on the side, and said angrily, and his tone was quite unkind. Hening, watch your words! Jing Muchen reminded, "Originally, you just entered the door and saw it, Brother Jiu chatted with her so vigorously, I have never seen Brother Jiu talk to anyone so happily, except for talking to you about those poems and paintings, he didn't even take a good look at the ladies who appeared at the banquet in the past." He Ning Zhengse said, Wan Ge was stunned, and she looked at Jing Muxuan suspiciously. Jing Muyu was swept by her clear eyes, and Jun's face was slightly red. He hurriedly stopped He Ning from saying anything more reverie: "What are you doing here? "Ning'er can't find you to come to my house, I said that you might be at the seventh brother's place, so she dragged me over to find you." Jing Muchen shook his head a little helplessly and chuckled, "Originally, it was obviously Brother Jiu who forgot his promise first, and I was right to look for him!" He Ning muttered to Jing Muchen, pointed at Wan Ge and said, "Who is she?" ”。“ She is the female doctor who saved the seventh brother, Jun Wange. Jing Muxuan replied, "Wan Ge, this woman who is noisily settling accounts with this king as soon as she comes is the royal sister of this king, the daughter of Concubine Liang's mother - Princess Hening, and this is the sixth brother of this king - Jing Muchen!" ”。“ The folk girl Jun Wange has seen the princess and the six princes. Wan Ge was about to kneel down and salute, but was stopped by He Ning, "Hey, you don't need to make such a big salute, what I said just now was purely for Brother Jiu, I just wanted to vent my anger, don't take it to heart." Also, since my ninth brother is so invisible to you, you don't have to salute when you see this princess in the future. He Ning looked at Jing Muyu meaningfully and smiled mischievously and said. This ......" Wan Ge looked at the woman in front of her suspiciously, "You don't have to stick to these etiquette!" Jing Muchen said gently, and Wan Ge paused and said, "The people's daughter obeys!" "I heard Ye Lei say that the seventh brother has the score of "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" and the dance score of "Crane Dance"?" Jing Muchen's gentle voice slowly asked, "Another one who likes vocal music, it seems that these people have similar hobbies!" Wan Ge thought to herself, "That's right! I originally came here today to listen to Brother Seven play the Wild Goose Pingsha, who knew that Brother Seven was taking a lunch break. Jing Muyu replied, "Seventh brother can play "Falling Goose Pingsha"? Why haven't I heard of this before? He Ning asked suspiciously, "The Seventh Brother will not only be this "Falling Goose Pingsha", and you don't need to be surprised!" Jing Muchen said gently, "That, can I take the liberty of asking, why are you so interested in this piano score and dance score in the hands of the prince?" Wan Ge asked in a low voice, and Jing Muyu said in a rare and serious manner: "This, that's a long story." For me and Ye Lei, these literati, have always been to chant poetry and painting to pass the time, after reading so many books introducing this famous song, naturally want to see its style, but it is a pity that in the early years, the music and dance scores were privately visited by the folk Leng Yanli to receive people in the palace, it is a big pity not to see its style, Wan Ge, do you understand? "Oh!" Wan Ge nodded in understanding and said, "Are you sorry that you didn't witness these two styles?" "So to speak," Jing Muyu said, "then...... I—I maybe, um, I can meet one of your requests. Wan Ge hesitated for a long time, his eyes closed slightly, and he seemed to have the courage to make up his mind and said. What the? Jing Muyu listened to her words and looked at her in surprise. What does Miss Jun mean......" Jing Muchen's eyes flashed slightly, "That's it, isn't the Nine Princes particularly eager to see the Crane Dance?" I—I might be able to...... I can dance the crane dance," Wan Ge said, and as soon as her words came out, everyone present was stunned...... "Can you dance the crane dance?" But aren't you a doctor? He Ning looked at her suspiciously, "I followed and learned from a person when I was a child, I didn't know that this dance was called the Crane Dance before, and I learned that it was called the Crane Dance from the Seventh Prince a few days ago." Later, the prince took me to Fengchan Temple, and Mrs. Qingyue personally taught me to dance the crane dance, so if you don't dislike it, I may be able to show you the dance. Wan Ge whispered, Jing Muyu's pupils gradually widened, and there was a surprised light. Jing Muchen asked cautiously: "I don't know who taught Miss Wange?" "She, she, she left Wange a long time ago, and Wange doesn't know where she went." Wan Ge's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously avoided Jing Muchen's searching gaze. "Wow, I can't imagine that Wange, you have good medical skills, and you can actually dance! In the future, this princess must bring you into the palace to teach this princess to dance, and then summon Meng Jingshu into the palace and let you dance the crane dance in front of her. He Ning pulled Wan Ge's arm and said, "Princess......" The corners of Wan Ge's mouth couldn't help twitching, she wanted to hurry up and return to the palace after the palace master explained her things, but she didn't expect that now this princess was afraid that she would be entangled. In the Nanjin Pavilion, Jing Muchen sat cross-legged on the piano case and stroked the qin, Jing Muchen stood next to the tree and played Xiao, Jing Hening sat next to Jing Muchen and sang quietly under the tree, the sun projected on her body through the leaves of the kapok tree, and the light and shadow stood under the shadow of the tree, dancing with the wind. Qin Se and Ming and Yuxiao accompanied, and the sound floated melodiously through the courtyard wall into the distance, Zisu stood by the window of his room, looking out of the window with a heavy heart. A trace of the beautiful and graceful piano sound floated over, Zi Su's empty eyes were a little puzzled, she was quite curious to find this sound, she gradually approached the Kapok Pavilion, when she stood at the door of the Kapok Pavilion, she saw Wan Ge dancing to her heart's content, the white gauze dress more and more set off her graceful dust like a fairy, and the beautiful posture of the crane flying that could not be ignored. Zi Su looked at the selfless performance of the person in front of her in a daze, and muttered to herself: "This dance ......" Zi Su's pale face gradually flashed a little surprise, her pupils gradually dilated, and she looked at Wan Ge with disbelief in her eyes, looking at her deadly! A crisp piano sound of "dong" drew a perfect end to the performance. Jing Muchen elegantly brushed the piano body to the perfect finish, and when he got up, he saw Zisu standing at the door. He looked at her suspiciously, she was wearing a pale green smoky butterfly skirt in front of her, her bun was slightly messy under the breeze, her slender hands were uneasy to pull her sleeves, her lips were closed, her teeth were subconsciously biting her lower lip, her eyes were full of uneasiness and excitement, her fair face didn't know if it was because of the sun exposure or why, her cheeks were red, and she looked abnormal! Jing Muchen couldn't help but subconsciously despise his behavior, he stared at a strange woman naked, and wondered why she showed an uneasy look in her heart. Thinking of this, Jing Muchen couldn't help but "hum" and chuckled at himself. Hearing him snort coldly, the other three all looked at him. Wan Ge thought he was laughing at himself and stood uneasy. Jing Muyu looked at his sixth brother suspiciously, and He Ning asked, "Sixth brother, what's wrong?" "Huh? No, nothing, I was distracted for a while! Jing Muchen said perfunctorily, "Really, Sixth Brother, although Wange dances very well, you should come back to your senses after she dances." Jing Muyu quipped, and then saw Zisu standing at the door stupidly, and couldn't help shouting in surprise: "Hey, Zisu, you're here, why don't you come in?" He strode to Zisu's side, "Ah! Zisu was startled, and when she came back to her senses, he was already beside her, and she looked around at the plant with a little fluttering eyes and replied: "I, when I followed the sound of the piano, I saw that you were all playing devotedly, and I didn't want to disturb!" "Oh, I see, let me introduce you to this king, this is the sixth brother of this king, Jing Muchen, and this is the royal sister of this king and Princess Ning. The sixth brother and He Ning are Zisu who was saved by the seventh brother's class teacher on the way back to the court, but now the injury has not healed and is recuperating, right, Wange? Jing Muyu took her into the courtyard and said happily, "Well, Zisu hurt his head when he fell down the hill and lost his memory, and the name Zisu was also taken later." Wan Ge replied, "In the name of medicine, Zisu, Zisu!" Jing Muchen muttered to himself, looked at Wan Ge with appreciation, and then at Zi Su. Zisu has seen the six princes, the ninth princes, and Princess Hening! "Zisu politely greeted him." Do you really not remember anything? He Ning looked at Zisu sympathetically, Zisu nodded and said bitterly: "Zisu doesn't know who he is, he doesn't know where he comes from, he doesn't know if he still has parents, and he doesn't know what if he can't recover his memory in the future?" I forgot jì a qiē, so please forgive me if I offend you in some places! Zisu's eyes were red, "Don't worry, since the seventh brother saved you, then he won't leave you alone, the people of our royal family will not die without saving, even if you really can't think of anything in the future, if you can't stay in the palace, you can also follow this princess, and this princess will take you even if she gets married!" He Ning said boldly, "Zisu is here to thank the princess for her kindness, but Zisu's life was saved by Wange, where Wange goes, Zisu will go!" Zisu smiled lightly. Wan Ge looked at He Ning in astonishment, although she looked at herself with an unhappy face when she first came, she looked like an arrogant and arrogant person, but her words still exposed her kind nature in the end, these princes she met, except for the ambitious second prince, everyone else was very kind, so should she still do what the palace master ordered? If you don't do it, when the master makes a kind of poison casually, the people of the imperial capital will ...... The sun was still scorching, and the air was filled with a dull heat, and Wan Ge's heart grew irritable, and she struggled inwardly to completely ignore what they were saying. "Wan Ge, Wan Ge, what's wrong with you?" Jing Muxuan saw that she had a calm face, and asked suspiciously. "No, I'm thinking about a case." Wan Ge said perfunctorily, "Really, you and Sixth Brother are wandering." Jing Muxuan muttered, "I'm sorry! Wan Geqiang said with a smile, she is still more familiar with this Nine Princes, and of course she is easier to master! How can the seventh brother sleep so much, it's past the time of Shen, why is there no one yet? He Ning said suspiciously, "The Seventh Prince went out, just now when I came over, I saw him walking towards the door with Uncle Zhong, and then only Uncle Zhong came back to the hall alone." Zisu replied, "Really, Uncle Zhong didn't tell him that we came?" Jing Muyu said with some criticism, "Seventh brother should be busy with more important things and don't have time to see us!" I wonder what Miss Wange thinks of the guards of the Seven Kings' Mansion? Jing Muchen remembered something and asked with interest, "Well, since it is a palace, the guards are naturally strict, and ordinary people can't break in!" Wan Ge said cautiously, "That'...... If you are a martial arts master, if you can enter and exit here easily, right? He continued to ask, "Sixth brother, what do you say, what does it matter whether you practice martial arts or not and Wan Ge?" Seeing him ask like this, Jing Muyu stopped suspiciously. Yes, yes, I don't know what the prince means by this? Wan Ge asked nervously, subconsciously lowering his head, did he know something? Oh, don't get me wrong, this king just thought that the seventh brother had said that he would pick someone to come to the Seven Kings' Mansion as a guard, and this king thought that the reason why the seventh brother would do this was probably due to the lack of guards in the Seven Princes' Mansion, so he asked more. Jing Muchen explained, Wan Ge breathed a heavy sigh of relief, thinking that this is the case! But why does Miss Wange look so nervous? Jing Muchen asked, Wan Ge wiped the fine sweat on his hands and said with some embarrassment: "I, I'm worried about whether the prince has found out that a martial arts master has sneaked here, and he will inevitably be nervous!" "Oh, Sixth Brother, what did you say, but last time at the celebration banquet, Seventh Brother proposed to go to the army to pick dozens of people to protect him?" He Ning remembered something and asked, Jing Muchen nodded, "Seventh Brother has made such a great contribution, naturally he still offended many people, of course, he is afraid of retaliation." Has Seventh Brother been busy with this recently? Jing Muyu asked, "Wan Ge doesn't know" Wan Ge shook his head, "Lord Wang, the third prince sent someone to the mansion to spread the word that you are invited to Wangjiang Pavilion to gather!" Jing Muchen's housekeeper Jiang Bo hurriedly walked in and said, "Third brother? Jing Muchen was quite surprised, "Since the seventh brother has not returned to the house, then the king will not bother." "Wait a minute, Sixth Brother." Jing Muyu rolled his eyes and said, "Since the seventh brother doesn't know when to return home, what about ...... How about you go with Zisu, Wange? "Yes, yes, it's so crowded! Go, Doctor Wange, Miss Zisu? He Ning helped and said, "This ...... If the prince returns to the house......" Wan Ge hesitated, "This is easy to do, Jiang Bo, you stay here, if this Wang Qi Ge comes back, you will tell him that Wan Ge is in Wangjiang Pavilion, if he comes, bring him over, Wan Ge, do you think this is good?" Don't hesitate! Jing Muyu said with great interest, Wan Ge didn't refuse to turn his eyes to look at Zisu, Zisu smiled helplessly, and didn't say a word. Thinking of the palace master's order, she subconsciously bit her lip, go!
