≮Chapter 44: A Late Aftermath≯
Li Muxi hurried to the Moyu Palace. From a distance, I saw Cai Yan pacing left and right in the moon building.
Seeing her coming from afar, Cai Yan was overjoyed, but said in her mouth, "Princess, why did you come back so soon?" ”
"Hmm."
Li Muxi responded silently.
Cai Yan looked behind her and wondered, "What about the prince?" ”
"He, he still has something, so he didn't come back with me."
Li Muxi said with a little weakness.
Cai Yan was a little incredulous: "Oh? Is it? ”
Li Muxi pulled her over and said, "Let's go first!" ”
"This, this prince has not come back yet. Wouldn't it be rude for us to leave like this? ”
Cai Yan was a little embarrassed.
But Li Muxi just wanted to go quickly, so as not to meet him halfway: "It's okay, let's go." ”
Cai Yan couldn't resist her, so she had to follow her out of the moon building.
I just thought it was strange, and I didn't ask too much.
Who knows, by coincidence, as soon as he got out of the palace gate of Moyu Palace, he saw Qianmo Chuanyu coming from afar.
Li Muxi gasped, pretended not to see it, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction.
Cai Yan stopped her behind her: "Princess, this is not the way we went back to the palace!" ”
Li Muxi still walked forward quickly.
Behind him, Qian Mochuan's deep voice came: "Wait." ”
Li Muxi's heart suddenly fell, and it took a while to turn around.
Qian Mo Chuanyu stood still in front of her, with some banter on his face, handed the umbrella to her eyes, and said, "Umbrella." ”
Li Muxi took it silently, lowered her head, and said, "Lord Wang, farewell." ”
With that, he turned and wanted to leave.
At this time, Cai Yan's voice sounded again: "Princess, where is the direction of Qingxi Pavilion!" ”
Li Muxi was a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to raise her head, coughed lightly twice, her face turned red, and she pretended to be respectful and said, "Let the prince laugh." ”
Qian Mochuan looked at her with his head down, and couldn't help but hook his lips slightly.
Cai Yan on the side was stunned, when did this Lan Wang treat others with a smile?
They are all tepid, and I am afraid that they are also cold to their mother.
Today is actually ...... Suddenly, she remembered the strange appearance of Li Muxi when she came back before, and couldn't help but laugh - what happened to the two of them?
Qian Mo Chuanyu looked at her lightly, Cai Yan smiled at this time, and said with a serious blessing: "The slave and maid are retired." ”
Then he followed.
The master and servant were speechless all the way.
Li Muxi suddenly stood in front of a palace and looked up at the plaque - Fanghuayuan.
Cai Yan is not as careful as Xue Mo, although she has lived in the imperial city all these years, she is protected by Qianyun's identity, and she does not understand the intrigue in the palace.
Xue Mo is different, she has experienced the death of her mother, the shaking of her family's status, and the cruel sending of her father to the palace, so she naturally understands the sinister nature of people's hearts.
Therefore, Cai Yan didn't know how to guard against Ye Jianxing, and said with a smile: "Princess, if you want to see Miss Ye, go in!" ”
Li Muxi thought for a long time and sighed: "That's it, after this year, Wei'er will officially face the saint, and I am afraid that she is being taught by a group of grandmothers at this moment!" Let's not go in and disturb it......"
"Yes."
Cai Yan nodded and responded.
Li Muxi looked at the palace again, and then turned around and left.
Seeing her worried, Cai Yan asked, "Princess, what's wrong?" ”
"You say, are these show girls good or bad when they enter the palace?"
Li Muxi said leisurely.
Cai Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "This, I don't know." If it is said that it is good, then you can expand your power in the imperial court; If you can't say it well, then it is - if you are not careful, you will violate the face of heaven, and you will not be able to protect yourself and your family, not to mention ......"
At this, she paused.
Li Muxi answered: "Besides, this also ruined the happiness of their lives......"
Cai Yan nodded heavily.
Thinking of this, Li Muxi couldn't help but worry about Ye Jianxing: Qian Mochen was almost old enough to be her father, and he actually asked her to serve him in the name of his wife...... She really didn't feel worthy of her...... Li Muxi's mind came to Ye Jianxi's touching and smiling appearance.
She sighed slightly-Netting, the palace is as deep as the sea, how do you face the daily intrigues, and how should you go on?
I don't want your ending to be like Gu Qixuan, and the glory of your life will be ruined in this imperial city that eats people and doesn't spit out bones...... Soon, it was the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve.
There is fine snow in the air, which is particularly beautiful at night.
The imperial city is a festive scene.
Cai Yan handed over the silk handkerchief and said distressedly: "Princess, don't practice!" Look at you, on a snowy day, jumping out of a sweat. ”
Li Muxi took it, took a few breaths, wiped the crystal clear sweat on her forehead, and said softly: "It's okay, since it was proposed by my father, I naturally have to do a good job." ”
Xue Mo stood up from the front of the piano case and said, "Yan'er is reasonable, we have been practicing for so many days, don't get tired!" ”
Qian Mo also raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, Sister Yun, let's go back and rest." I see you're exhausted too, go back and take a hot bath. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is a good omen! ”
"Well, I'll listen to you."
Seeing that the two of them also persuaded, Li Muxi compromised.
Qingxi Pavilion.
Li Muxi closed her eyes in the bathtub, enjoying the temperature of the hot water.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and asked, "Yan'er, have you found all the relics of Dye Xia?" ”
Cai Yan, who was serving on the side, added hot water and said, "Well, according to the princess's instructions, in addition to clothes, earrings, hair accessories, even the basin and bedding she used are ready." ”
"That's good."
Li Muxi closed her eyes again with peace of mind.
Cai Yan couldn't bear to say: "Princess, Dye Xia was originally a chess piece sent by others to put you around, she caused you to almost fall out with the queen mother, and also caused Xue'er to suffer from prison in vain, why are you still so good to her?" ”
Li Muxi sighed slightly: "No matter how bad she is, I am also a master and servant with her, and she must have her own reasons for doing so." And now all I can do is secretly burn some paper money for her. She must be very lonely on the Huangquan Road, why should I even deprive her of the things she once accompanied her? She has been miserable enough in this life, does she have to suffer from loneliness and loneliness even when she goes underground? It's just this belated aftermath, I don't know if she is willing to accept it? ”
When Cai Yan heard this, she also sighed with emotion: "Hearing what you said, princess, I was also a little moved." On weekdays, she is very cautious and careful when she looks at Dye Xia, but she can't hide from this Ye Guo's identity...... It's a pity that it has ended up like this now......"
At this time, Li Muxi said again: "What family does she have in Ye Kingdom?" ”
Cai Yan pondered for a while, shook her head and said, "I haven't heard her mention it, I just remember that she seems to have mentioned it to me, she is an orphan." She was only three years old at the time, and she only vaguely remembered a simple room with potholes and constant rain leaks. A broken candle, a tattered quilt, and a boy about ten years old lying on the bed, coughing incessantly. A woman lay on top of him and wept. At that time, she smiled wryly and said, "It's probably for that sick brother that he sold me to human traffickers!" ’”
Li Muxi's eyes widened suddenly, and she frowned: "Human traffickers?!" ”
"Hmm."
Cai Yan continued, "She said that it was snowing heavily that day, and her mother said that she would take her to buy candy to eat, but halfway through, she turned into an alley. Her mother was discussing something with a five-year-old stout man. Then, looking down at her, he took her to the man, turned around and ran......"
Li Muxi listened quietly, tears oozing from the corners of her eyes.
Cai Yan took a deep breath and was also a little sad: "At that time, she was too young to understand what her mother meant. He innocently asked the man, 'What about sugar?' What about sugar? The man snorted and said, 'Your mother doesn't want you anymore, you still think about sugar!' She cried as soon as she wowed, and called out to her mother. The man carried her and left, saying that you will never see your mother again. ”
With that, she sniffled.
Inadvertently, Li Muxi's face was already full of tears: "And then? ”
Then, on the way, they met a mother and daughter, who were not very richly dressed, but had good temperament, and both of them were veiled, saying that they wanted to buy her. The man was pleased, and offered a high price, and the mother readily agreed, and led her home. ”
Cai Yan's face was gloomy.
Li Muxi asked eagerly: "Did you say where the mother and daughter were?" ”
Cai Yan shook her head regretfully and said, "I also asked her, but she just wouldn't say." ”
Li Muxi thought thoughtfully: "Thinking about it this way, the mother and daughter should also be from Ye Guo." ”
Cai Yan said on the side: "Come to think of it, Dye Xia's life experience is really pitiful!" ”
Li Muxi was speechless.
In the imperial city, everyone enjoys wealth and prosperity, but I don't know how many families are worried about what to eat every day.
It is really "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road"
