Chapter 172: Hostage
Although Mu Xuanlong was not at a loss, he also frowned tightly.
Although there are signs of marriage, it has not yet been finalized, and it is also very closely concealed. The eighth child only wrote the fold of the marriage proposal the day before yesterday and handed it over, and the only one in the palace who knew the truth was Qin Zhen, the chief eunuch who was waiting for the emperor, and even he who was staring at the Qinzheng Palace was the letter he received before leaving the palace at noon today, including the mother concubine was still kept in the dark, where did she know that she was a woman outside the palace? !
Could it be ......
"Today, the fourth lady of the Qingguo Mansion said it carelessly, presumably because she already has eyebrows."
Mu Xuanlong lowered his head slightly, and looked at Xia Xue'er, who was sitting next to him, a head and a half shorter, with a calm and calm face, just now that he suspected that she had raised eyeliner in the palace, but she opened her mouth to tell the ins and outs of the matter, obviously to dispel his doubts, but it was not that she had to believe it if she said so.
"Qingguo Mansion is different from others, although it is not in power, but it is better to have Zhuo Zhuo's military merits, and the DPRK has a wide range of contacts, which can be said to be all over the three provinces and six departments, of course, the financial resources should not be underestimated, after all, it is the Guogong Mansion of 10,000 households, or the aristocratic background of the previous dynasty. His Royal Highness may not take the Eighth Prince in his eyes, but he has to put the Qingguo Mansion in an important position to complete the great cause! ”
Indeed, as she said, Mu Xuanlong did not regard the Eighth Prince as a threat at all. Mu Xuanhan, who was born noble in the eyes of others, is inferior to him in terms of background, talent, or others! It's just that this Qingguo Gong is indeed a very important chess piece. It's not that he doesn't know that Lao Ba has dealings with the Qingguo Mansion, but he always feels that the Qingguo Duke is a person who understands the times, and it is impossible to put the future all on a prince who has no hope of victory in the battle for the heir!
Thinking of what Wen Mengfan did today, Xia Xue'er couldn't help but chuckle.
There are no secrets in the true sense of the word in this world, and the so-called secrets will be exposed to the sun sooner or later, but some secrets live for a long time, and some are like mayflies, born and twilight. Many of these secrets were confided in a show-off way by people like Wen Mengfan who not only had no brains but also loved vanity.
Although Xia Xue'er didn't like Wen Mengfan, because she didn't have too much intersection with her, she didn't think about making her uncomfortable, but who made Yu Yingxi unhappy because she didn't have long eyes? It's no wonder that she borrowed the hand of someone to extinguish her prestige!
As soon as I was in a good mood, I felt that the whole starry sky was a lot brighter, and those little eyes that flashed were really cute!
"I'm in a good mood today, I'll give you a message for free!"
Xia Xue'er looked at Mu Xuanlong with big eyes, not hiding the smile at the corner of her mouth at all, happy like a child. Mu Xuanlong rarely saw her like this, a little less old than usual, but like a girl, which matched her age. couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and bowed slightly with his hands in fists like the people of the rivers and lakes, and opened his mouth to say: "Thank you for the teaching, then it is really an honor to be in the future, and I wish to listen to you!" ”
The tone was a little sadistic, but the bottom of his eyes was shining, and the news spit out of Xia Xue'er's mouth must not be some useless garbage!
"Yan Wang ......"
Xia Xue'er deliberately didn't finish speaking, and the speed of speaking was very slow, and her voice was as small as a mosquito and fly, but she could tell what she was saying. At the same time, she just squinted her eyes at Mu Xuanlong, who was sitting next to her, a head and a half taller than herself, only to see that when he heard the word "King Yan", he moved his head forward enough, refreshing himself and holding his breath just to hear her and what she said next. Seeing this, Xia Xue'er inadvertently hooked the corners of her mouth, and then raised her voice and continued: "Chu Yingwei is in Youzhou. ”
"She?" What Mu Xuanlong heard just now was clearly the word King Yan, why did he suddenly become Chu Yingwei again, what does that woman have to do with him? Could it be that Xia Xue'er wants to help her avenge the murder herself? But......
"Why is she in Youzhou?"
Hearing this, Xia Xue'er lowered her head, a touch of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she disguised her hand to Buddha Buddha's skirt that was not stained with dust, but her mouth said calmly: "Since she was able to go out of the city overnight and show up in Youzhou, why does His Highness think this is?" ”
When Mu Xuanlong heard this, he was a little confused at first, but then he was dumbfounded! It's not that his brain isn't good enough, it's just that he's never thought in that direction! Wei Guogong, such a wreck, actually has a good personal relationship with King Yan, he must have his superiority, he can do such a hidden world, hide the sky and hide the sun, at this time, it is inevitable to be shocked!
Xia Xue'er looked at him with a shocked look at first, and then her eyes narrowed slightly, with a strong killing intent in her eyes, she knew that he had already thought of the cattiness in this, so she didn't say much. Mu Xuanlong is extremely ambitious and has a strong desire to control, so he will not tolerate such a big risk factor hidden around him that he can't control. And for the rest, she believes that Mu Xuanlong will handle it well, and she just sits quietly and watches the show!
On July 14, the day before the Midyear Festival, Chu Yingwei was picked up, but as soon as she arrived at the city gate, she was forcibly taken into the palace, and she was not even allowed to step into the door. Wei Guogong's family, who were waiting in the mansion with joy, were very anxious when they heard the news, and Wei Guogong immediately prepared a car to enter the palace without changing his clothes.
I went in a hurry, but I was blocked out of the palace gate, scolded the guards for a long time, and begged for a long time, and finally waited for a holy decree, saying that it was read in the Wei State Mansion Mrs. Tai was frail and sick, and missed her granddaughter very much, the emperor could not bear her to drift outside, and specially allowed her to return to the city, but in view of her stubborn temper and arrogance, she could only be temporarily adopted in the palace and carefully taught by the Queen Mother.
After receiving such a holy decree, Wei Guogong felt that the whole world was about to collapse! It seems to be a great honor, but only the careful teaching of the queen mother who is famous for him is actually a hostage to enter the palace! It's just that this time I entered the palace, it would be difficult to get out again!
When Cuizhu reported these to her, Xia Xue'er had just finished dinner, and she was holding a miscellaneous book in her hand and looking at it with interest. She didn't say a word until Cuizhu finished speaking, and she didn't even take her eyes off the book, as if she didn't care about it.
At this time, Dongmei walked in with the bead curtain, saw that Xia Xue'er was concentrating on reading, and asked cautiously: "Miss, do you see how many more are here, where can I hang them?" ”
