Chapter 22: The Ghostly Spirit
The lights of thousands of homes gradually faded, the sound of the watch came intermittently from a distance, and the lights of the Six Kings' Mansion gradually dispersed, only occasionally a few candles shone through the thin window paper!
Jing Muchen sat at the table in the study, playing with the dagger that Zi Su was about to stab at him, as well as the token of the Fengzen Temple!
His face that was as warm as jade on weekdays was also stained with a bit of coldness, and it became unfathomable, his hand suddenly stopped, his eyes were cold, he got up and put the token in a hidden vase on the bookshelf, picked up the dagger and went out!
Leng Fengxi sat on the bed and looked around, the windowsill was nailed and the door was locked!
She sat on the bed and curled up, her chin resting on her knees, looking around blankly and closing her eyes in despair!
Suddenly, the door remembered a few locks, she raised her head vigilantly and looked at the door, and saw Jing Muchen pushing open the door and coming in, subconsciously shrinking into the bed!
Jing Muchen opened and closed the door, he saw the food on the table lying there untouched, and said in an unhappy tone: "Why don't you eat?" ”
She was silent!
"Are you taking a hunger strike against this king?!"
He approached her and asked in a sharp tone, she looked up, and replied in a weak whisper: "No, I can't eat it!" ”
He looked at her like this, curled up in a ball, like a helpless child, his heart suddenly softened, he couldn't bear to see her so decadent and lost, and said in a softer tone: "This king will let people change cooks tomorrow!" ”
She raised her head violently when she heard this, looked straight at him, and said weakly for a long time: "Let me go!" ”
"Do you think this king will let you kill your father and seventh brother?"
He looked at her coldly and said, "If I miss this opportunity, what else can I do to kill them?" ”
Leng Fengxi smiled weakly and said, "You ......"
He couldn't say half a word!
"I just want to save the queen mother now!"
She looked calm and resolute and said, "And then? ”
He asked, "Leave forever!" ”
After she finished speaking, she paused, looked up at his side face, and suddenly was reluctant to leave the gaze that stayed on his soft side face!
"What?"
He was startled and asked, "Are you going to never come back?" ”
She.
Nodding with a worried face, he said: "Sixth Master, if I had changed to someone else that night, I might have been in a prison cell now, you have been kind to me, but I can't repay it!" I don't ask you to help me rescue my mother, I just ask you to let me go, if someone finds me here, you will be affected by me!" ”
Jing Muchen said: "This king is not afraid! ”
"But I'm afraid!"
Leng Fengxi shouted excitedly uncontrollably, he was a little stunned when he watched her lose control!
Jing Muchen lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time, Leng Fengxi sat in front of the bed in a bit of a panic.
"Actually, you don't have amnesia at all, we've all been deceived by you! Although your identity is fake, this is ...... Isn't there anything worth nostalgic for? ”
He paused and asked a little unwillingly, "Yes, what can it do?" I can't let Wange wander with me all my life, right? It's true that my memory hasn't been lost, but I was really in a trance when I first woke up, and then I decided to hide it from you in order to save my life! ”
She sighed and said helplessly, "I see, it's just that I can't bear to singe?" ”
He felt a little surprised sense of loss spreading in his heart, "Well, you are all kind to me, I can't affect you, take advantage of the fact that you have no time to take care of me for the sake of Wange, you just let me go!" ”
She looked at him sternly and said, "Just now, this king sent someone to inquire, and the seventh brother has been sending people to inquire about your whereabouts and your appearance from the army and the old department of the Cold Moon Kingdom. You can't just leave, you're really wandering around! Also, you can't save your mother on your own! ”
Jing Muchen said patiently, "Then what do you say?" ”
Leng Fengxi asked almost desperately, "Stay here, this king is the safest here for the time being, and after some time, this king will find a way to use Qingyue's fake death to rescue her, and then you will ...... Leave! ”
He looked at her, always felt a little reluctant, and said, "But you have to promise this king that you will never hurt the royal family, especially your father and seventh brother!" ”
She looked at him and asked, "Why did you do that?" ”
He smiled bitterly and said, "This king doesn't want to add to the killing!" ”
But he muttered to himself in his heart: This king doesn't want anything to happen to you!
Her lips opened and closed, and she couldn't help but sigh and said, "As long as the mother concubine is safe, I promise you that I will never set foot in the imperial capital again...... Half a step! ”
He was stunned and wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh helplessly and said: "You can move around freely in the palace, this king will say that you are a guest of this king, you still use the name 'Zisu' here, but don't go out of the house, if the ninth brother and they come, you can avoid it." It's late at night, you go to bed early! ”
She stared at his back, and her heart suddenly felt as if it had been slashed by something, and there was a faint feeling of sharp pain.
She muttered to his back as if she had lost her mind: "Thank you! ”
Jing Muchen's back was obviously stagnant, and he paused for a moment and continued to walk forward.
"Jing Muchen, I thought that if I didn't get it, I wouldn't have lost, but I didn't expect that I still lost it! I lost my heart without you! ”
Leng Fengxi smiled sadly, looked at his back hidden in the night, and let tears blur his vision............ It's autumn, the early morning wind blows a chill to people, today the great prince Jing Mubo is buried, all the princes and ministers are kneeling in front of the palace, and the concubine is wearing a white filial piety dress with the support of Hening, and slowly appears in everyone's sight.
With pale cheeks and swollen eyes like walnuts still glistening with teardrops, she looked much older than she usually looked like she usually had without her usual grace and luxury.
The Emperor glanced at the audience with a tired face, and lowered his eyes heavily.
The queen was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and her robe was also wearing a white robe, she looked at the coffin where Jing Mubo was placed for a long time with a deep frown, and seemed to be muttering to herself, and she couldn't stop sliding the Buddhist beads in her hand, with a calm face and a sad face.
The other concubines stood on either side, dressed in plain clothes, silently observing the progress of the ceremony, and the princes stood on either side of the ministers, with white ribbons tied around their waists and heads.
Jing Muhui looked at this qiē coldly, his expression was still cold and arrogant.
Finally waited for the ceremony to end, Jing Muyu and Jing Mukun hurriedly said goodbye to their mother, and were escorted out of the palace city in a cry, looking at Jing Mujue with deep meaning when leaving, Jing Mujue nodded lightly without missing a trace, and they didn't look back...... "Fourth brother!" ”
Jing Mujue turned around and wanted to go home, a cold voice came from behind him, he turned to look at Jing Muhui, and his tone was a little puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”
。
Jing Muhui approached him, thought for a moment and said, "Why didn't Mo Yunya accompany the fourth brother, isn't he your bodyguard?" ”
Jing Mujue suddenly chuckled meaninglessly and said, "Is the seventh brother idle? I actually cared about a small bodyguard in the king's mansion, didn't my father hand over the affairs of the king's hands to you enough? ”
Jing Mujue's eyes looked at him sharply, his eyes full of coldness.
"The fourth brother's mouth is not a small little guard, Wan Ge's body is highly poisonous, he actually cured her in only a few hours, the people in the fourth brother's mansion are really hidden!"
Jing Muhui said slowly with an expressionless face, his eyes inadvertently swept over Jing Mujue's face, and smiled coldly!
"The seventh brother has won the award, he may just be a coincidence, and besides, he has already left, according to him, he has something to go back to Miaojiang!"
Jing Mujue said indifferently, "Such a coincidence? Brother Chen and Captain Ouyang haven't thanked him yet! ”
He looked at Jing Mujue suspiciously, and said with an inexplicable smile.
Jing Mujue asked a little confusedly: "Why worry about trivial matters, don't see the seventh brother!" However, what is the matter with Captain Ouyang? ”
。
At this time, Ouyang Yelei and Jing Muyu came over, Ouyang smiled and said: "Don't hide it from the fourth master, thanks to Mo Dutong who woke up Wan Ge, we can let the minister and his father confirm Wan Ge's identity, otherwise we still don't know that Wan Ge is the minister's long-lost little sister!" ”
。
"Don't hide it from the fourth master, thanks to Mo Dutong for waking up Wan Ge, we can let the minister and his father confirm Wan Ge's identity, otherwise we still don't know that Wan Ge is the minister's long-lost little sister!"
"Thanks to Mo Dutong for waking up Wan Ge, we can let the minister and his father confirm Wan Ge's identity, otherwise we still don't know that Wan Ge is the minister's long-lost little sister!"
"Otherwise, we still don't know that Wan Ge is the little sister who has been separated for many years!"
"Wan Ge is the little sister who has been separated for many years!"
"Wan Ge is Ouyang Yelei's younger sister!!"
After hearing this, Jing Mujue stood in place like petrified, his mind kept being filled with what Ouyang had just said, and it took a long time to come to his senses and tremble as he looked at Ouyang Yelei and asked uncertainly: "Jun Wange is your sister??? In other words, she is the long-lost daughter of Mrs. Ouyang, the eldest lady of the Ouyang family? ”
Ouyang nodded.
"It is not appropriate for this king to stay in the palace for a long time now, farewell!"
Jing Mujue said with a pale face, turned around and left in a hurry...... The crow-blue sky gradually began to drizzle, and the continuous drizzle not only moistened everything, but also cooled the restless hearts of people in summer.
Jing Mujue dismissed the coachman and walked back alone, drizzling wet his clothes and hair.
He smiled bitterly and muttered to himself: "Jing Muhui, now that you have regained the love of your father, and the daughter of the Taiwei is Jun Wange, what will this king fight with you?" Hahahaha...... What is this king fighting with you? ”
Jing Mujue stood in the rain, he looked up at the sky, the raindrops in his eyes made him unable to open his eyes, his face was wet, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or what.
He suddenly looked at the sky with fierce eyes and sneered: "This king doesn't believe it, God always favors you, this king will not lose so easily." ”
"Sixth brother, why does the younger brother think that the fourth brother's face is very strange when he leaves, Wan Ge has nothing to do with him, how can he have that kind of expression?"
Jing Muchen looked at Jing Muchen sitting in the same carriage and asked, Jing Muchen closed his eyes and recuperated, and explained gently: "Originally, the Ouyang family and the virtuous concubine had a deep relationship, but it was only because your seventh brother was born stupid, so Ouyang Taiwei did not take a position on the matter of opposing the prince. Now that Wan Ge is the eldest lady of Ouyang Mansion, not to mention that Mu Hui is valued to show his talent, just because Wan Ge likes Mu Hui and will become the seventh princess in the future, Taiwei will not support the fourth brother. Now above the court, Taiwei must be dedicated to assisting Mu Hui, no matter how many officials the fourth brother pulls in, who can be the enemy of Ouyang Taiwei, who holds the national military power? Do you think the fourth brother can not be disappointed? ”
Jing Muyu nodded and understood: "Then, according to the current situation, when the eldest brother's national mourning period expires in three months, the seventh brother will inevitably marry Wan Ge, and then even the third brother will not be able to compare to the power of the seventh brother?" ”
Jing Muchen nodded and said, "Who would have thought that it was the daughter of the Taiwei who saved the seventh brother in the first place?" Whether the seventh brother wants it or not, he is in the center of power, and he ...... next Gotta fight! ”
Jing Muyu asked suspiciously: "Why?" ”
"Power, fame, jealousy, and ...... Life! ”
Jing Muchen stopped saying a few words meaningfully, and had no intention of saying any more, Jing Muchen obediently shut up...... In Yongfu Palace, Jing Muyi sat on a chair, and Concubine Hui next to her said while embroidering: "I heard that the daughter of Ouyang Mansion who has been missing for nearly twenty years has been found?" ”
Jing Muyi nodded and said with a solemn face: "Well, it's Jun Wange, the medical girl who saved the seventh brother in the Imperial Palace that day!" ”
"Is that her?"
Concubine Hui looked up at Jing Muyi in some surprise, Jing Muyi nodded and said, "I don't know the specifics, but it is said that her identity has been determined." At the beginning, the seventh brother in the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden proposed to establish Jun Wange as a concubine, and now I am afraid that my father will not object! ”
Concubine Hui looked at her son with a decadent and irritable face, and suddenly reacted and said: "The Ouyang family's heart is already towards Concubine Xian, and now if Jing Muhui marries the daughter of their family, Taiwei will definitely stand on his side, and Yi'er will be ......."
Jing Muyi shook his head and said, "Even if Uncle Guo supports his son, Master Fu Lu is very loyal to the fourth brother. The three elders of the court and the central government were okay before, and the Taiwei never took a stand, so the strength of the sons and the fourth brother was equal. Now Taiwei's heart is for the seventh brother, and his father had the idea of establishing a seventh brother before, and even the edict was almost issued, and the sons are afraid that it is hopeless! ”
Concubine Hui put down the embroidery in her hand and comforted her son and said: "Since this is the case, then let's observe the situation first, this palace doesn't believe that Concubine Shu's woman will admit defeat so lightly, and the things in her hand are someone else's, and this palace doesn't believe that she can sit still!" ”
Jing Muyi suddenly reacted and said: "The mother concubine means ......"
She soothed her son and smiled weirdly and said, "The sandpiper and the clam are fighting...... Fisherman's profit! ”
In the imperial garden, Concubine Shu was sitting idly by the pond feeding the fish, "Niangniang, Niangniang just listened to the palace maid of the Imperial Qiangong say that Ouyang Taiwei has found her long-lost daughter, and she is actually the doctor who saved the Seventh Prince!" ”
The palace maid hurriedly ran over and whispered.
After hearing this, Concubine Shu's delicate face couldn't help but change, and she put down the food in her hand to feed the fish and asked sharply, "Are you telling the truth?" ”
The palace maid knelt on the ground and said: "It's true, the slave maid learned from the imperial palace that when the emperor summoned the Taiwei just now, the emperor seemed to be sending the Taiwei for a private visit or something, and the Taiwei tactfully begged the emperor for a few days, and told the emperor that he had just found his daughter and wanted to accompany his daughter in the mansion for a few days. The emperor asked him if his daughter had found it, and the captain said that it was Dr. Jun! ”
Concubine Shu's face turned pale and she muttered to herself, "How can this be? ”
She suddenly remembered something and said, "Where are Concubine Li and Concubine Yi?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, the fifth master and the eighth master have just left, they seem to be in their own palace, and no one is seen!"
The palace maid said, "Later, send someone to invite them to come to the Xianfu Palace!" ”
Concubine Shu leaned on the pillar with some unstable center of gravity and muttered to herself in a panic: "How can this be? If that's the case, Jue'er will be ...... No, this palace will never agree, Concubine Xian's slut was favored before her death, and she finally died, and her son can't compare to Jue'er in this palace, I didn't expect him to become Jue'er's biggest obstacle now, and this palace will never agree! Never let you die and still overwhelm this palace, never! ”
