"Why did you take action against my mother and son, why did you offend Tang Meiren and the queen for us who have nothing to do with us? What is your purpose in doing this? Shen Zhen's face did not show any gratitude after being rescued, but looked at Mu Qing with extreme vigilance, as if trying to discover some unknown conspiracy and secret from the face of this cold-faced woman.

When Zhu Yu heard Shen Zhen say this, her heart couldn't help but sink, and she just wanted to step forward to explain something, but was stopped by Mu Qing with a sharp look, so she had to retreat to the side silently.

Mu Qing didn't think it was wrong, but smiled and rubbed his cold palms, and asked lightly: "It's windy outside, and my mother's clothes are thin and injured, I wonder if we can go into the house and talk in detail?" ”

Shen Zhen frowned in embarrassment, no matter how she said that the other party had just saved herself and her son, no matter what the other party's purpose was, just from a reasonable point of view, she didn't have the reason to immediately blast people out of the door now. So even if she was reluctant, Shen Zhen still pulled out a smile and said in a dumb voice: "It's my negligence." Concubine Chen, please come in. ”

Mu Qing followed Shen Zhen and walked slowly into the main hall, because he was grounded, so the inner attendant did not send someone to send charcoal over as usual in the past few days, and the original accumulated charcoal fire was used up again, so at this time, Yi Qiangong was extremely cold, as if it was really no different from the cold palace. Mu Qing couldn't help but shrink his body, found a place with a cushion to sit down, and from time to time brought his palms close to his mouth to warm up.

Shen Zhen saw Mu Qing's slightly trembling body, and looked at her usually thin and pale face, and felt a little guilty and unbearable in her heart, so she found the only fox scarf from the back room, handed it to Mu Qing, and said apologetically: "I'm colder here, and I hope Concubine Chen won't dislike it." ”

Mu Qing had been blowing the wind outside for a while just now, and now that the hall was so damp and cold, she was really frozen, so she didn't shirk it, and directly took the scarf in Shen Hao's hand, and thanked: "Thank you, Concubine Zhenniang." It's my own body that doesn't fight, and my mother doesn't have to feel guilty. Although the Spring Festival has passed, after all, the spring is cold, and I have heard that it will snow again for two days, and it is not a long-term solution to have no charcoal fire in the palace. What's more, His Royal Highness the Great Prince is still young, if he catches a cold, how can it be good? ”

Mu Qing seemed to be talking about Shen Hao's sore spots, and Shen Hao frowned slightly, which is also where she has been worried these days. In fact, she is not afraid of being grounded or something, and she is willing to keep herself and her son away from the battle of the harem. It's just that if she wants her son to accompany her to endure hardships because of this, how can she bear it.

Mu Qing said again: "The inner eunuch knows that I have always been afraid of the cold, so I have sent a lot of charcoal over in the past few days, and I will ask Zhu Yu to send some to Niangniang and His Royal Highness another day, so as to solve the urgent need." ”

When Shen Zhen heard that Concubine Chen was willing to help, there was no joy on her face, she turned the topic back to the original point, and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you want to help us three or four times?" ”

Mu Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, seeing through the other party's anxiety, she didn't rush to answer Shen Zhen's question, but asked lightly: "What purpose does Concubine Zhen think I have?" ”

"Since the last incident in Yunyi Palace, everyone has regarded my mother and son as ghosts, and they are afraid to avoid them. Concubine Chen will actually help at this time, I don't think it will be as simple as sending charcoal in the snow, right? Shen Zhen analyzed coldly, and her scrutinizing eyes never moved half a minute away from Mu Qing's face, "Is Concubine Chen still thinking about trying to win over my mother and son?" ”

Mu Qing looked at Shen Hao's defensive and vigilant appearance, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. She sneered in her heart: The palace is really a big dye vat, full of deceit, even Shen Zhen who has no quarrel with the world and only wants to live indifferently has begun to know how to protect himself and doubt the kindness of others.

Mu Qing suddenly turned his head to stare at a dead branch outside the window, his eyes were scattered, as if he was contemplative and as if he was just looking into the distance in a daze. Shen Hao was inexplicable by the other party's sudden silence, and also turned his head to follow Mu Qing's line of sight, but only saw a depression. After a while, I heard Mu Qing's ethereal voice coming from my ears. "Niangniang thinks that I made a move to win your trust and gratitude, so as to win you and His Royal Highness the Great Prince into my camp, so that I can compete with the queen in the future?"

The sadness in Mu Qing's words made Shen Zhen shocked, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt and apology in her heart. But Shen Zhen's temperament seems to be soft, but as long as it comes to her son's safety, she will immediately become a hedgehog and cannot tolerate a little threat. So Shen Hao suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and asked in a cold voice, "Isn't it?" ”

Mu Qing laughed at herself, with imperceptible pain in her smile, and then she turned her head to look directly at Shen Hao, and her face returned to the heartless smile of the past. "Niangniang is right! That's exactly what we had in mind when we saved you! I wonder if the mother is willing to accept her sister's overtures again? I'm so sincere! ”

When Zhu Yu first heard Concubine Zhen's misinterpretation of her master's kindness, she felt unwilling and annoyed in her heart, and secretly held grievances for her master. But she didn't expect her master to admit such a trumped-up 'crime', and to put it so lightly. She knew that the master didn't have any selfish intentions to save people today, she couldn't bear to see Shen Zhen and the eldest prince being victimized by villains, so she would fight for Concubine Zhen's mother and son, but she didn't expect Shen Zhen not only to be grateful, but also to slander and misinterpret it like this. In addition to being annoyed, Zhu Yu felt more distressed about her master, but she couldn't stand at this time to say two fair words for her master, so she could only hide behind her master and sulk, she suddenly regretted bringing her master to Yiqian Palace, and she was misunderstood.

The other party's straightforward words also made Shen Hao stunned, her face changed slightly, and she resolutely refused: "Last time, when Concubine Chen came to my Yiqian Palace, I told Concubine Chen my answer." I am very grateful that Niangniang is willing to lend a helping hand today, but I really have no intention of participating in the battle in the palace, I just want to live peacefully in this life, and I will not force it to be rich and rich, and I hope that Concubine Chen can understand my selfishness. ”

"At this time and that time, now that Niangniang and His Royal Highness have been plotted behind their backs and have been wronged, why don't you reconsider my proposal?" Mu Qing's evil smile spread on his lips, and there was a faint light in his Hongtan-like eyes that were beating slightly. "Besides, I said that day, in this harem, if you don't hurt people, it doesn't mean that others won't hurt you, you swallow your anger and just want to have no quarrel with the world, but some people may not be willing to let you get your wish. I have long reminded my sister that the queen will not give up, Niangniang really thinks that after the incident of Yunyi Palace, Yi Qiangong will be able to stay away from the fight, and the wind will be calm from now on? Didn't today's incident give the mother a wake-up call? The matter of Yunyi Palace will never be the end, but I am afraid that it will be the beginning of a qiē. (To be continued.) )
