Chapter 257: Mu Xirou
The people who departed became more and more rampant day by day.
Maybe it was because he found that it was not so easy to seize the heir as he imagined, or maybe it was because the fish died and the net was broken, and the offensive became more and more fierce in the past few days. And Xuanli seems to be a hungry wolf who has torn off Sven's appearance, and gradually shows his true face. Those methods were extremely tough, but whenever they went to the villages and tribes, they forcibly demanded that the people hand over food and supplies, and the people of southern Xinjiang who were scattered in various places to accompany the rebellion were even more cruel, and in some places there were even crimes of massacring villages.
Such an act of slaughtering a village would only be done by the most brutal army of the lowest kind of invaders of other countries, but the people who declared it did it. Although there have always been millions of corpses, the matter of seizing the heir is probably a contradiction between the DPRK and the central government, and it is very far away from the lives of the people. At most, the people saw that the person who stepped on the throne had changed and scolded twice, and it was the first time in the history of the Great Jin Dynasty that they were really in it like this, and lost their lives because of it.
Xuanli's move is no longer a prince's seizure of the throne, because with the relationship between the people of southern Xinjiang, it is almost naked and unscrupulous to the people of the world to see the power and usurp the country. For a time, the people of Dajin were full of complaints, and Xuanli's reputation was already a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him.
"He is the most arrogant person, and when he is what he is now, he naturally feels uncomfortable." Mingyue said to the emperor on the high seat in front of him.
Young, no, it can only be said that the young Son of Heaven sat on the dragon chair obliquely, and his movements were not very regular, but with a bit of stubborn casualness, but even so, it was not to be underestimated. Xuan Pei lazily played with the white jade wrench in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is the way he found for himself, and he can't complain." ”
It's like a lion cub catching a little mouse, and some of them are playing with the little mouse in the palm of their hands and watching it struggle in it.
Mingyue lowered her head, now that she is no longer the prince's personal palace maid, Xiao Shao doesn't plan to ask her to go back, and Xuan Pei can't leave her, after all, she has to worry about many things. She has become Aunt Mingyue, her worth has risen with the tide, and outsiders envy her for her good luck and a good master, who would know that the original waste prince of Lu Dao would have such a glamorous day, and he became the master of the world in one leap. But only Mingyue knew Lu Dao, from the first day she followed Xuan Pei, she knew that Lu Dao Xuan Pei was by no means as simple as it seemed, everything this young man did was the same as Xuan Li's purpose, but at that time, Xuan Li's strength was too strong, and Xuan Pei snatched the fat from Xuan Li's mouth with a weak attitude.
At that time, even she didn't expect that Xuan Pei would become the winner of the last year, and he did.
She said: "Mu Zhaoyi is asking to see outside. ”
"Bring it in." Xuan Pei said.
When Mu Xirou was brought in, there was no longer the cold look on her face, and her appearance was still beautiful, but there was something more between her eyebrows. The original awe-inspiring and inviolable temperament is completely gone, so it is no different from those ordinary beauties in the palace.
She walked in, saw Xuanli, didn't say much, and knelt down in front of Xuanli as soon as her legs were weak: "Your Majesty Xie is complete." ”
After she was released from prison, she was under house arrest because she could not be completely cleared of the charges and had no power behind her. I don't know what the situation is outside the road, just relying on Xuan Pei's dragon robe, he quickly changed his words, which is enough to see that this is a smart woman.
Xuan Pei said: "This is the result of your own request. ”
In the end, the Mu family supported Xuan Li at the last juncture of the succession, perhaps because they felt that Xuan Pei was just a hairy boy and might not have any future. Maybe there is no price code here in Xuanpei, and there is no peace of mind from Xuanli's clear price, the people of the Mu family ignored the daughter sent to the palace, and turned to the Xuanli faction, and now they have rebelled with Xuanli, obviously they have regarded Mu Xirou in the palace as an outcast.
"At the beginning, my father sent me to the palace as a high-ranking official, but unfortunately I did not fulfill his wishes, he was disheartened and fended for himself, and now I have nothing to do with him. Seek benevolence and be benevolent, Your Majesty will be kind to me, and everything in the Mu family has nothing to do with me. "Mu Xi judo.
Mingyue listened on the side, and her expression did not wave.
When the Mu family wanted to send this beautiful ice beauty into the palace, Mu Xirou herself disagreed. If you have the heart to inquire about this matter, it is not difficult to inquire about it, Mu Xirou is a fierce person, but such a fierce person finally agreed to enter the palace without knowing what the reason is.
Everyone in this world has a price code and what they want, Mu Xirou exposed such a big weakness, where would Xuan Pei not take advantage of it. On the same day, Mingyue was asked to inquire about the reason, and the reason was also surprising, this was actually a secret of the Mu family.
Mu Xirou is not Master Mu's biological daughter, but Master Mu's outer room gave Master Mu a green hat outside, Master Mu didn't know the truth, and he didn't know the truth until he raised Mu Xirou at the age of ten. I wanted to find an opportunity to deal with Mu Xirou, but I didn't know which colleague reminded him that Mu Xirou was so beautiful, it would be better to change the official position for a good price in the future.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that there are many rights and wrongs in the back house of the official family, Mu Xirou was originally born in the outer room, and the daughter born to the wife and concubine in the house is not used to it, and later he knew that it was not his own, and he was sneering. When Mu Xirou was very young, she knew that she was not born to Master Mu, Master Mu had an eldest son Mu Feng, Mu Feng was the best person in the whole mansion to Mu Xirou, he was gentle and considerate, and Mu Xirou fell in love with her nominal brother.
This is a scandal, it is incest, and Mu Xirou does not dare to tell anyone. When she entered the palace that day, Master Mu said to her that the portrait had been sent, if Mu Xirou refused or even committed suicide, the entire Mu Mansion would be ruined, and the young and promising Mu Feng would also bury his future because of Mu Xirou's move.
Mu Xirou didn't have a good life in the Mu family, how could she be, she couldn't wait to die with the entire Mu family, but Mu Feng was difficult for her to let go, so she resigned herself to entering the palace for the sake of her lover. But Mu Xirou is a strong person who does not admit defeat in her bones, even if she loves Mu Feng, she hates Master Mu and the ruthless Mu family, she made a deal with Xuan Pei.
What Xuan Pei wants is the country, as long as Xuan Pei sits on the throne one day, he wants to return her freedom, and he wants to suppress the Mu family, and it is best never to hire him except Mu Feng.
Xuan Pei agreed, and then Mu Xirou maintained a cold temperament, pretending to have to die. Master Mu was not happy about this, because Mu Xirou did not bend to meet the emperor, she pretended to be high but was not favored by men, and it was simply a waste of chess.
So when Mu Xirou was imprisoned for the crime of killing the emperor, no Mu family member came out to speak. When Dong Ying'er was imprisoned, the Dong family also asked, and when Wang Lian'er had an accident, the Wang family also came forward to help, only the Mu family stayed away without hesitation, as if they were avoiding the plague, which made Mingyue feel a little cold.
Xuan Pei looked at Mu Xi and said, "I will give you a chance now, and you can modify your conditions." ”
After the Mu family rebelled, Mu Xirou knew that the Mu family would never survive this time, but she still loved Mu Feng, and she was willing to exchange her life and freedom for Mu Feng's life. Making a deal with Xuanpei is not so simple, but Mu Xirou still wants to do it.
Mingyue didn't know what Lu Dao was for, she always felt that Xuan Pei was extraordinarily kind and cared for Mu Xirou, as if he had given her many opportunities. Xuanpei's heart is ruthless and spicy, Mingyue has seen it, and there is always a special reason for being kind to Mu Xirou.
"Thank you for your success, but you don't have to." Mu Xiju said: "I only hope that Your Majesty will spare my eldest brother's life." ”
"I'm not an unreasonable person," Xuan Pei smiled, "You've done so much for me, and my deal is still a matter of words." But you think about it, your good big brother has ever entered the palace to greet you since you entered the palace, the Mu family rebelled, it is impossible for him not to know, knowing that you are still in the palace, but not saving you, knowing that you will inevitably become the culprit if you are left behind, and there is no trace of wanting to save you. Mu Xirou, I can tell you that in your eyes, the Mu family may be evil, and he is the only one who is good, but unfortunately, in my eyes, he and the Mu family are the same dog. The goodness in your eyes is only the goodness he wants you to see. ”
Mu Xirou was very smart, she didn't directly refute Xuanli, she just stared at the ground quietly to express her insistence. Xuan Pei thought about it, then smiled: "That's it, you don't understand what I've said thousands of times, so it's better for you to see him in person." ”
Mu Xirou raised her head suddenly, Xuan Pei glanced at Mingyue, Mingyue walked to Mu Xirou's side, quickly clicked her acupoint, sent her to the back of the screen, helped her to stand aside, and soon, someone escorted a man to the hall.
That person was none other than Mu Feng.
"Mu Dalang," Xuan Pei still said in that cynical tone, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time." ”
Mu Feng also belongs to the young and promising group of young petty officials in the court, because such young people may have unlimited prospects in the future, so even if they look inconspicuous now, they are very important people in the eyes of everyone. Xuan Pei and this person have not never met, but in Mu Feng's eyes, Xuan Pei is not enough for him to surrender, and Mu Feng will not take it in his eyes as a stinky boy.
But now that Mu Feng has become a prisoner, Xuan Pei has changed from a waste prince to a human being, he raised his head, the young man in the seat was extraordinary, not only could he not suppress the dragon robe, but the dragon robe lined him unfathomable. He was caught like this today, and there is no possibility of flying again in this life.
"Don't worry, I came to you today just to ask you something, I heard that you have a very good relationship with Mu Zhaoyi?" Xuan Pei asked.
Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and a smile appeared on his face: "Oh, that woman, that woman is a wild seed, I heard that she later became a person of His Royal Highness." I didn't expect Her Highness to be so young, and to have a guest like her. That's right, she has always been in love with me, but our Mu family never collects wild seeds, this kind of woman who comes from the wrong way is just playing. originally sent her to the palace, but she was also able to afford her to be a chess piece, but I never thought that this slut would be in harmony with others, and she really had her mother's demeanor, slut! He spat on the ground.
This Mu Feng is also a good man, knowing that he will not escape death, he simply doesn't even say words begging for mercy, thinking that since this young emperor has a leg with Mu Xirou, it is good for him to say these words out of disgusting vice. So deliberately speaking vulgarly is, of course, also true.
Xuan Pei didn't have any special expression, and even had a hint of a smile, behind the screen, Mu Xirou was clicked by Mingyue and couldn't move, but her eyes were wide open, and hot tears fell from her eyes. Mingyue sighed in her heart, this woman is as cold as ice on weekdays, but at this moment, she showed such a heartbroken expression, and she should be very hurt. After all, it was Mu Feng who had always supported her to live in such a cool place in the palace. And now she realized that she was inferior to Mu Feng in Mu Feng's eyes, and all the supports collapsed overnight, so she naturally couldn't stand it.
"Oh, so you used her as a slut, but she's very nice to you." Xuan Pei was puzzled: "What, I originally wanted to let you live in her face, but now it seems that you also disdain." He clapped his hands, Mingyue unlocked Mu Xirou's acupoint, Mu Xirou quickly wiped the tears on her face, her hands were still a little trembling, but she was stunned and pinched her palm, and her face suddenly became cold again.
He walked out of the city.
Mu Feng was stunned, and Mingyue followed out. Mu Xirou knew that this was deliberately shown to her by Xuan Pei, and she didn't understand what Xuan Pei meant. If she didn't know all this, she would probably still be able to let Mu Feng live with the same hope as before. It can be known that after Lu told the truth, with her clear temperament of love and hate, she was bound to be able to only treat Mu Feng as an enemy.
There is no woman who does not have hatred for a man who has only a heart for her to take advantage of, even if she has loved.
She smiled coldly, like an ice hibiscus blooming, she said, "Then thank you for treating me like this." ”
Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, and the moment he saw Mu Xirou, he was a little scared. This woman had known about him for a long time, so he took advantage of his affection. Mu Xirou has a low status in the Mu Mansion, as long as she is a little kind to her, she will be dead to others. Mu Feng has been using her, whether it is for her to enter the palace or to favor the emperor, it is just a use. A chess piece that he had never taken to heart, and when he saw Mu Xirou appear at this moment, those eyes seemed to be emotionless, but he was suddenly a little scared.
"Mu Zhaoyi," Xuan Pei smiled lazily, "I once promised you a wish, now you can say it." Are you going to let your big brother go? ”
Mu Feng was shocked, he didn't believe that Xuan Pei would let him go if he was so kind, but if it was in the past, Mu Xirou would have protected him even if he tried his best, but now he ....... There was some uneasiness in his heart.
"Your Majesty is merciful, but how can a concubine be arrogant. Fighting a promise that he got from His Majesty's mouth before, I hope that His Majesty can agree to the matter of his concubine. "Mu Xi judo.
"You say."
"The Mu family followed the rebellion against the king, and the crime should be unforgivable, and the nine clans should be destroyed, but the concubine knows that the Mu family is extremely important to the Mu family, so it is better to use him as bait and hang him alive under the gate of the city tower. As for the whole Mu family, the crime is extremely heinous, and they should be old and young, and they should be punished with thousands of arrows piercing the heart and cutting by a thousand knives. Mu Xirou said word by word.
Mu Feng gasped, he never expected that these words would come from Mu Xirou's mouth, he knew that the Mu family was not good to Mu Xirou, but Mu Xirou was the last to enter the palace for the Mu family, why did he say such vicious words. Hanging alive at the gate of the city, she shuddered when she thought about it, and she also wanted to use this to wipe out the Mu family. This woman has such a ruthless heart!
"Mu Zhaoyi is really smart, no wonder my father liked you the most in the first place." Xuan Pei exclaimed: "I also think it's very good, so I'll go and draft the will, just find what you say." ”
Mu Feng only felt a chill behind him, and he said, "Sister, sister, have you forgotten what your brother did to you in the past?" When you were bullied, it was your brother who protected you. That's all angry talk just now, you can't be so ruthless, right? Younger sister! ”
Mu Xirou looked at him coldly, there seemed to be a splash of water in her eyes, but soon there was only a cold coldness: "Young Master of the Mu family, I don't have a brother, I was born in a rural mountain village, my parents are unknown, who is your sister?" Maybe he died a long time ago. ”
Xuan Pei shouted in a deep voice: "Take it away!" Mu Feng screamed and was dragged away.
Silence returned to the hall, and Mu Xirou knelt down again, her expression was very calm, but her palms had begun to ooze blood.
She said: "I beg Your Majesty to allow your concubine to become a monk and practice, but the ancient Buddha of the green lantern will live for the rest of his life." ”
Xuan Pei looked at her deeply and said, "Accurate." ”
Mu Xirou kowtowed and thanked her, and then left. After Mu Xirou left, Mingyue couldn't help but ask Xuan Pei: "Why did Your Majesty do that?" ”
Let Mu Xirou see with her own eyes that her proud brother and lover are actually such a face, so that although she saved her life, she has lost the courage to live since then and is discouraged by life. Mingyue thought that Xuan Pei was different from Mu Xirou, so she took care of her like this, but in this way, it seemed that she was simply making Mu Xirou sober, regardless of the possible outcome of this. For what?
For what? Xuanli said lightly: "She will always figure it out." ”
Long pain is better than short pain, Mu Xirou's experience always reminds him of another person, but that person does not have Mu Xirou's good temper in this life, he is regarded as a chess piece, and he paid the price of his life in the end. Every time I see Mu Xirou, it's like seeing that person. Even if it caught his attention because of what happened to him, he wouldn't let something happen again.
Some fools can do it once, and some people can make it wrong once.

I really like Mu Xirou's QAQ
