Chapter 218, Horror in the Temple
Mu Chenxue was invited to meet Nangong Xun, the prince of the county, in the back mountain after lunch. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info two people are relatively speechless, the attitude is ambiguous and close, I thought that no one in the back mountain would not attract attention, but I don't want to be looked at by someone with a heart.
Princess Qing originally made an appointment to host after dinner, but she couldn't find her son for a while. Just as he was about to send someone out to have a look, he saw a patrol guard come to report that it was the prince of the county who seemed to have a private meeting with a woman in the back mountain.
Fortunately, the hidden fog and the flowing clouds also found the comer, but because they were too far apart, they didn't come to stop them.
"Lord Jun, there were patrolling guards passing by just now, and they should have seen you and Miss Maku. Although you may not be able to see the face clearly if you are far away, it is not easy to stay here for a long time! Liuyun was worried, afraid that the matter would be discovered by Princess Qing, so that Miss Mu might be in danger like the second young master back then.
"Chenxue, you go back first, and I'll see you again in the evening!" Nangong Xun turned around and wanted to leave, he wanted to stop his mother, so as not to arouse her suspicion.
"Wait a minute!" Mu Chenxue hurriedly untied the big coat on her body and handed it to Nangong Xun, "If you don't have a piece of clothing, how can you hide it from Princess Qing!" ”
Nangong Xun only hesitated for a moment, and then took the big one and draped it on his body. Mu Chenxue waited for Nangong Xun to go farther, and then took Baoru back to the temple along the mountain road. But he didn't go back to his courtyard immediately, but went to the apse first, and waited for the patrolling guards to pass by, and then took Baoru back.
Although Princess Qing sent her cronies to the back mountain to look for someone as soon as possible, she was still one step too slow. "Go and check for me, in addition to what other pilgrims we have in the temple today, find out all of them!"
sent all the cronies, guards and a few second-class maids around him, and when these people left the courtyard, they saw their son Nangong Xun walking in.
"My son went to see the host just now, and he forgot the time when he played chess, and his mother was worried about her son!" Princess Qing originally wanted to ask her son in person, but she didn't want her son to tell her where he was going as soon as he entered the door. I had to suppress the doubts in my heart.
"Your body is good, although you don't need to move around to play chess, but you are also quite distracted, but I am afraid that you will be tired!" glanced at the first-class maid beside him, "Go and pour a cup of tea for the prince of the county, and get some snacks!" The mother and son talked for a while, and then went to the main hall to chant and pray together.
An hour later, all the people who had gone out to inquire had returned, and Princess Qing returned to her meditation room and called everyone in.
"Princess Huiqing, except for the people in this temple. There are also three courtyards where people live, one of which is the lady of the Maku-sama's family, with her daughter and an old lady, who moved in three days ago. The other two courtyards are also inhabited by female dependents, but they are all from merchant families in the city, and they moved in early this morning. ”
"Lord Maku, is it the sister of the second young lady Makuyu?" The people in the other two courtyards didn't attract the attention of Princess Kei, but she knew about the people from the shogunate. The son is still thinking about the concubine of the concubine, if it is really this girl, then the son may be the person he saw just now.
"It's the sister-in-law of the second young lady, the fifth lady of the shogunate. The second young master's concubine who didn't enter the door! Princess Qing listened to the report of her subordinates and decided that it was this woman that her son saw just now.
"What a bold man, he dared to seduce Xun'er in front of me!" Princess Qing's face was full of anger, and she glared at the person who replied, "Go, find this girl for this princess, I want to see what she looks like, isn't she more beautiful than the princess of the county?" "If this girl really has any wrong thoughts, for the sake of her son's reputation and the peace of the house, she will definitely not be able to stay, and the best way is to make her disappear forever.
The slave maid who got the order came to the courtyard of Mu Chenxue, but she didn't see Miss Mu Wu, only the old lady and Aunt Cheng, and the two of them pushed back and forth, as if they didn't want Miss Mu Wu to come out to meet the guests, "Princess Qing invited Miss Mu Wu to come over to see you, it was to give you face, you are so shirked, is it because Miss Mu Wu is not in this courtyard?" ”
"Ahem, ahem!" The people sent by Princess Qing were standing in front of the old lady and Aunt Cheng and scolding non-stop. Hearing a cough outside the door, Mu Chenxue was wearing a cloak and Baoru pushed the door and walked in.
"Look at what this sister is talking about, Princess Qing invites her, that is a blessing that I can't ask for. Don't say that the little girl is just a boudoir woman, even if her father is here, she doesn't dare not go! Mu Chenxue sat down as she spoke, looking at the visitor with a white face, "It's just that this sister also saw it, my body has always been weak, and this time I came to the temple to pray for blessings due to illness, just to ask God to get sick." Princess Qing is a daughter's body, what if she is bumped by my sick and weak body? I also asked this sister to go one more time, go back and ask the princess, if Princess Qing is not afraid of being contaminated, the little woman will go to ask for her guilt! "Who is Mu Chenxue, even if it is invited by the king of heaven, it depends on whether she is willing to go or not. So she took advantage of what Princess Qing cared about the most and pretended to be sick, she didn't believe that Princess Qing was willing to ask her for questioning at this time.
This person with martial arts pretended to be sick and relied on the reverse flow of qi and blood, and Mu Chenxue pretended to be sick just by pricking a few stitches on his body, and his ruddy complexion turned white in an instant. The old lady and Aunt Cheng were only because of the identity of Princess Qing, so they didn't want the fifth sister to go over and fear that she would suffer. But she didn't expect that the fifth sister was really sick, so she nervously stepped forward and helped the person to the meditation couch, fed water and told Fanghua to boil medicine for the fifth sister
"Bad luck!" The slave didn't want to stay with a sick person, so she turned around and went out of the courtyard to reply to Princess Qing.
"You mean that Miss Fifth is sick in that scene? How could it be such a coincidence? I suspected that she had fallen ill. Go, send someone into the city to the shogunate to inquire, is the fifth lady in this scene always in bad health? Or she pretended to be sick and didn't take this princess seriously, and even I sent someone to invite her and didn't dare to come! Princess Qing didn't believe it, but she was afraid that if this girl was really a sick child like the concubine, she didn't want to be contaminated with bad luck.
Regarding his mother's frequent actions, Nangong Xun also sent Liuyun out, wanting to help Mu Chenxue deal with the aftermath. Fortunately, Mu Chenxue has always been very measured, and her weakness is not a secret in the shogunate, so there is no need for Liuyun to take action, and the people who come to inquire have not received any useful information.
The people sent out rushed back at night, and it turned out to be exactly what Mu Chenxue herself said, "Fortunately, I didn't take this girl to Xun'er as a concubine, otherwise only this sick and weak body wouldn't have collided with my son!" Princess Qing originally wanted to set off her son's intentions, but she didn't want this woman's life to be as sick as her sister. As for whether this woman will kill her concubine, she doesn't care. So even if the concubine died, she would not allow this woman to be a concubine for her son.
Nangong Xun has been sending someone to secretly follow his mother and inquire about the news for Mu Chenxue, so he can naturally guess a few points about his mother's thoughts, but he doesn't care, even if his mother is against it, he only has Miss Mu in his heart, he will protect her, and find an opportunity to convince his mother.
