Chapter 256
When the old lady returned to her yard, it was getting late. *With* dream* small* say http://www.suimeng.l
www.suimeng.lā saw that Mu Qi was not there, and was a little strange, so he asked Zhao's mother, who came to serve, "Where is the old lady?" But it's already rested? ”
"It's not." Mother Zhao's hand paused, lowered her head and said, "The old lady has entered the palace." ”
"Entered the palace overnight?" The old lady was shocked, shocked, and sad.
How angry did Mu Wenhan make him so angry that he went to the palace in person so late? Thinking about what happened today, the old lady was a little upset, stopped Zhao's mother from continuing to dress herself, and asked, "How long have you been there?" ”
"You just left, and the old lady left, almost two hours." Mother Zhao also felt that the old lady's love was not quite right today, and she answered cautiously.
Two hours? How long has it been? The old lady lamented the time she had spent outside, and at the same time worried about Mu Qi. It stands to reason that it is so late, the emperor must have rested, even if Mu Qi wants to discuss Mu Wenhan's affairs with the emperor, then it is time to come back. After all, the Mu family is not very far from the palace. But after going for so long and not coming back, isn't something happening again?
"It's so late, why don't you stop the old lady when he goes out? At the very least, you should have let me know. The old lady felt a headache and couldn't help but say angrily.
"You...... It's all the slave's fault, please punish ......" Zhao's mother hesitated for a moment and did not explain to herself.
The old lady is not usually an unreasonable person, and since she is angry, it can only mean that she feels very uncomfortable. In this case, what is it for oneself, a slave and maid, to bear a little anger?
Mother Zhao's forbearance old lady also found out and felt that she was really rude. Mu Qi is the head of the family, and he wants to go out, how can these people who are subordinates be able to stop him? And when he left, he also told them not to come to his own.
The old lady sighed deeply, and her attitude softened, but with deep helplessness: "That's it." Wait. The old lady will talk about it when he comes back. ”
"Yes." Mother Zhao dressed the old lady again.
Fortunately. The old lady didn't wait long, and Mu Qi returned. It's just that the expression is a little strange.
"You're back? Would you like to have something to drink? The old lady greeted her, and she didn't dare to ask too much. Only let Zhao's mother go to fetch the honey water that Mu Qi likes to drink.
"No need. Go down, all of you. "Mu Qi also looks quite beautiful and spiritual. waved his hand and let the waiters go down.
And then. Mu Qi sat on the recliner next to him and did not speak. He just lay quietly, with a disappointed, sad and sad expression on his face.
The old lady who watched was shocked, this was not the Mu Qi she was familiar with, absolutely not. Unexpectedly. Mu Wenhan's matter hit him so hard. However, the old lady didn't dare to ask more, she knew Mu Qi's temper very well, and if she asked a question that made him unhappy, he would lose his temper, especially at a time like this. I've been with him for most of my life, and I've never seen him like this.
"Aren't I too stubborn, you say?" Mu Qi suddenly asked unexpectedly the old lady.
The old lady was stunned, this was actually asked from Mu Qi's mouth?
"Naturally, it's not ......," the old lady hesitated slightly. Tentatively asked, "Can you see the emperor?" ”
"Of course......" Mu Qi's words carried a hint of unclear mockery, "no matter how late it is, the emperor will not see my ......"
The old lady didn't know what to say.
Mu Qi stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the room was quiet and secretive.
"Then, what did the emperor say about Brother Han'er?" The old lady hesitated, but still asked, breaking the silence between the two.
"Your Majesty......" Mu Qi paused and said. The emperor said, it all depends on my will. ”
This answer is the emperor's answer that the old lady expected early on. It's just that since the emperor didn't put pressure on Mu Qi. Then why did Mu Qi have such an expression?
This time, the old lady didn't dare to ask again, if Mu Qi was willing to say, he would speak on his own.
Sure enough, after a while, Mu Qi suddenly spoke: "Although the emperor said that this matter is up to me, he will be moved by a few children." I really didn't expect it. ”
"How many children?" The old lady heard that something was wrong, wasn't this Mu Wenhan's own business? Could it be Mu Wenhan and Princess Rou'an?
"It's Mu Qingge and His Royal Highness......" Mu Qi seemed to see the old lady's doubts, and took the initiative to explain, but there was an inexplicable loss in his expression.
Mu Qingge again? The old lady couldn't help frowning, why was she everywhere? However, with the relationship between Mu Qingge and Mu Wenhan, it is reasonable for her to help Mu Wenhan. It's just that she can even say that the emperor can be moved? It's incredible.
"Qingge? She said to move the majesty xià? I'm afraid that His Majesty will give the third highness a son, right? The old lady thought so, and couldn't help but say so. As Mu Qi's wife, she has not had much contact with the emperor, so she also knows the emperor's personality very well, and he has always been disdainful of women. Even himself, as Mu Qi's wife, the face he gave himself was only for Mu Qi, and he was just as disdainful of himself. In the old lady's opinion, this is also the most similar point between the emperor and Mu Qi. They all feel that whether it is a country or a family, it should be supported by men. Such an emperor would be changed by a teenage girl? She has always wondered, how could the emperor agree to Mu Wenhan marrying the princess? He likes Mu Wenhan so much, and he also appointed Mu Wenhan to be the champion. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be Mu Qingge's credit.
"The Third Highness didn't say much at all." Mu Qi smiled bitterly, "It's the credit of Mu Qingge alone." ”
"This ......" The old lady was also dumbfounded, this kind of thing, the emperor doesn't need to lie to Mu Qi, and Mu Qi doesn't need to lie to the old lady. So, how did Mu Qingge convince the emperor?
"His Majesty repeated to me what Mu Qingge said......" Mu Qi spoke again, his expression was strange, "Indeed, I also admit that there is some truth in what Qingge said. She's a teenage girl, and she can have that kind of insight. It's extraordinary. ”
The old lady didn't understand why Mu Qi began to praise Mu Qingge, Mu Qi never liked Mu Qingge, he really only looked at Shang Qirui's face, and now he tolerated Mu Qingge. But seeing that Mu Qi was thinking while talking, the old lady didn't dare to speak rashly.
"However, based on Mu Qingge's words alone, it is still impossible to convince His Majesty." Mu Qi finally came to a conclusion.
"That. Didn't His Majesty say that Qingge persuaded him? That's what you say. What is the meaning? The old lady was a little confused. I feel that I am really old, and I can't guess what Lianmuqi means.
"Your Majesty, it's just an excuse." Mu Qi was a little indignant. It's a little sad again. "Actually, in the bottom of His Majesty's heart. also hopes that Brother Han will marry Princess Rou'an. ”
"What?" The old lady did not dare to agree with this. "Your Majesty has always been so good to Brother Han, how can it be ......?"
"Your Majesty has always liked Brother Han, and it's not wrong. But he was first an emperor, then an elder. No matter how much he likes Brother Han, he has to put his own country and society first. Mu Qi's tone was not calm.
The old lady actually understood in her heart this time, but she still couldn't believe her understanding. But he panicked in his heart: "What does this matter have to do with His Majesty's country?" Although Brother Han is smart, he doesn't have the ability to destroy His Majesty's country. Besides, Brother Han can't have that mind. ”
If a person can threaten the royal family, then no matter what he does or not, it is a capital crime, a great crime of super extermination, how can the old lady not be flustered?
"Brother Han naturally has no other thoughts, but His Majesty can't help but guard against it." Mu Qi said in a deep voice, "Think about it carefully. Qingge is going to marry the Third Highness, and Brother Han is a person with real talent and learning, and the relationship between the two of them has always been very good. If, the third prince will do it in the future...... Now it seems that the third prince is very fond of Qingge, if Qingge has any ideas, or Qingge's children have any ideas......"
What Mu Qi said was not implicit, and the old lady naturally understood. If Shang Qirui becomes the emperor. He spoiled Mu Qingge so much, in case Mu Qingge had any bad intentions. She herself is already very powerful, and with a capable brother Mu Wenhan, it will cause chaos to the court. It's not impossible.
The old lady didn't know what she was feeling in her heart, and she admitted that the matter that the emperor was worried about was indeed possible. But at least, so far, there is no sign of this matter. It was all just the Emperor's own speculation. For such a guess, the emperor agreed to let Mu Wenhan marry Princess Rou'an, which was really tiring. That's right, it's really tiring, days like this, every day thinking about who might betray you. Even decades later, I have to think about it, and I really don't know how those days were lived. As the head of the Mu family, the old lady inevitably has to think carefully about things on weekdays, but when it comes to the emperor's realm, she still really feels tired for him, and even feels tired with herself.
However, the old lady was even more worried about Mu Qi. Mu Qi has also been in his life, he likes to control everything in his own hands, although he has always been careful about the emperor, but in his heart he inevitably feels that the emperor is different to him after all. But I don't want to, it turns out that in the emperor's heart, the emperor is not very special in the end. Although he looks respectful, he will also be guarded against him. Although this is the emperor's usual trick, in Mu Qi's heart, I am afraid that he is really uncomfortable, otherwise, he would not be like this.
"Anyway, didn't the emperor say it too? This matter is up to you, which shows that the emperor still trusts you the most. The old lady made an excuse for Mu Qi, "Perhaps, the emperor was really moved by Qingge's words?" Maybe you're thinking too much......"
"How many of the emperor's strategies were taught by me?" Mu Qi smiled sarcastically again, "Is he true or fake, I don't know?" ”
The old lady didn't know what to say, since Mu Qi himself had such an idea, whether it was really the emperor's mind or not, in Mu Qi's heart, there was already a dislike. I really didn't expect that the Mu family would have a dislike with the emperor because of such a little thing.
The old lady suddenly felt that she was really tired, maybe the Mu family would really be so decaying? Now it seems that Mu Qingge is the only hope.
Mu Qingge? The old lady sighed slightly, not knowing what it was like in her heart, as if since she came back from Luoyu Temple, many things had something to do with her. Think about it. It seems that everything revolves around her. Is this child a disaster for the Mu family or a blessing for the Mu family?
"So, what are you going to do now?" The old lady drove away Mu Qingge, who suddenly appeared in her mind, and asked Mu Qi about his plans. If the emperor's intention is really to want Mu Wenhan and Princess Rou'an to marry, then if Mu Qi disagrees with Mu Wenhan's marriage, won't it make the emperor even more angry?
"I haven't thought about it yet...... Mu Qi sighed at the end, did he really have to give up his ambitions and hopes like this? But what can you do if you don't give up? Really going against the emperor?
The old lady looked at Mu Qi's tired expression. I swallowed back the words that came to my mouth. He said softly, "Then think slowly." Think about it before you decide. ”
Mu Qi didn't speak, stood up, but heard an angry shout from Zhao's mother outside: "Who is over there?" ”
Someone eavesdropping? Mu Qi and the old lady glanced at each other, and they both faintly felt that something was wrong. What they talked about tonight. It's big to say. It's small to say. Especially since they were still talking about it before. implicitly said that Shang Qirui did the emperor's thing. If that's the case, they'll be heard. That's incredible.
hurriedly opened the door, but only saw Zhao's mother standing there alone and looking around.
"What's going on?" The old lady asked hurriedly.
"It looks like someone was eavesdropping over there just now." Mother Zhao hurriedly said. "Mu Jing has already chased him."
Mu Jing is Mu Qi's personal guard, and his martial arts are not weak, so Mu Qi and the old lady are a little relieved. But there was even greater uneasiness, and it seemed that someone was really eavesdropping. Who would dare to come to Mu's house to eavesdrop? What is the purpose?
Mu Jing came back soon, and immediately knelt down after seeing Mu Qi, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, old lady, the little one is useless, I didn't catch up with that person." ”
Someone who can't catch up with Renki Kyoto? Mu Qi and the old lady were a little surprised, and the uneasy love was much greater.
"Do you see who it is? How could it not be chased? How did you chase it? Mu Qi was still very calm and asked for key information.
"Looking at the figure, it looks like a woman, and her light skills are very powerful...... The little one chased her all the way. Behold, the woman entered...... Moon Shadow Pavilion, and then disappeared...... It's too late now, and the little one doesn't dare to disturb Miss Fifteen, so he came back......" Mu Jing was a little embarrassed, I don't know if I would misunderstand if I said this.
"Moon Shadow Pavilion? Mu Qingge's yard? Mu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding his feelings, but said in a low voice, "Is it really that coincidental?" ”
The old lady was also shocked, and saw that only Mother Zhao and Mu Jing were there. A little relieved, he said to them: "Forget it, don't publicize this matter for the time being, you all go down." Don't remember to mention tonight's events to anyone. ”
Mu Jing and Zhao's mother glanced at each other and went down in response.
"Brother Qi, do you think it will be Qingge?" As soon as the old lady was excited, she directly used the name of her youth.
"It's too coincidental...... Mu Qi shook his head, "If the person who eavesdropped is really Mu Qingge's person." Wouldn't it be too stupid for her to flee back to the Moon Shadow Pavilion when she was being chased by Mu Jing? In that case, isn't everyone really the people of the Moon Shadow Pavilion doing it? Mu Qingge is not so stupid. ”
"However, it is also possible that they think that this way everyone will not suspect the Moon Shadow Pavilion? So deliberately so? "The old lady doesn't necessarily think that Mu Qingge did it, it's just too strange, why does everything seem to be related to Mu Qingge? There must not be a single suspicion left untouched.
"Unlikely." Mu Qi still shook his head, "Think about it, when that person eavesdropped, even Mu Kyoto didn't find out." It can be seen that her martial arts, at least light skills, are very powerful. Moreover, it can be seen from Mu Jing's description page later that the light work of the eavesdropper is far greater than Mu Jing's. In this case, how could she be found out by Zhao's mother? Even if she was really accidentally discovered, then she could get rid of Mu Jing at once when she entered the Moon Shadow Pavilion, why didn't she get rid of Mu Jing on the road? Do you have to wait until the Moon Shadow Pavilion to hide? ”
"So, Brother Qi, do you mean that that person deliberately lured Mu Jing to the Moon Shadow Pavilion, just to make us suspicious of Qingge?" Mu Qi said it in such detail, it was naturally impossible for the old lady not to hear it. However, what she is more at ease is that after the eavesdropping incident, Mu Qi's feelings have improved a lot, and the whole person has calmed down a lot.
"Now it seems that this is the best possibility. Moreover, this person must be extremely familiar with the Mu Mansion, you know, it is very difficult to get from us to the Moon Shadow Pavilion. Or, it is not known if it is the people of the Mu family at all. Mu Qi nodded, and then smiled disdainfully, "I want to see, who is it?" Dare to play tricks under my nose again and again, is it impatient? ”
Seeing that Mu Qi had regained his fighting spirit, and was no longer depressed and depressed before, the old lady was a little happier in her heart, but she didn't pay special attention to the person who eavesdropped, as long as Mu Qi had a heart, it was impossible not to find out.
"Okay, it's getting late today, let's rest first? If you want to check it, you will have to check it tomorrow......" the old lady advised.
"Okay, let's rest." Mu Qi seems to be holding back his strength, and he has the posture of doing a big job tomorrow.
And at this time, in the Moon Shadow Pavilion, Mu Qingge happened to sit up from the bed.
"Miss, I'm sorry to wake you up." The water mandarin man who was keeping vigil crawled beside the bed, his eyes blazing, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
"It's okay, I know you must have something important to wake me up, say, what's wrong?" Mu Qingge yawned slightly, and then looked at the mandarin duck seriously.
"There's a man in our yard......" Shui Yuanyu wanted to say.
"Alone?" Mu Qingge had just woken up from a dream, and his reaction was still a little sluggish, and he didn't understand what Shui Yuan was talking about.
"Well, the slave maid was already asleep, but suddenly she heard a noise, and hurried up to check what was going on. Then we saw a woman dressed in green enter our yard, and a man was chasing her. The slave wanted to chase after her, but she was worried that she would fall for someone else's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so she kept secretly observing here and did not pass. Therefore, the appearance of the woman and the man, the slave and the maid did not see clearly. However, after the woman entered the courtyard, she quickly hid, and the man came in and looked for her, but did not find the woman. He seemed to have some concerns, did not make a fancy and did not continue the search, and turned away again. When the man was gone, the woman came out and went with her. ”
"Oh?" Mu Qingge still didn't quite understand, "Is there anything wrong with this?" What did you find? ”
If no bigger clues were found, just two people broke in, and nothing bad happened, the water mandarin duck would not wake him up at this time.
"Yes, miss. The slave found a problem, that woman's light skills are much better than that man's light skills, if she wants to avoid that man, she doesn't have to hide in our yard, just run, the man will definitely not be able to catch up with her. Moreover, when she entered our yard, she looked back, as if to make sure that the man had followed. ”
"So, you think, the woman deliberately lured the man into our yard?" Mu Qingge understood, but he didn't understand, "Why did she do that?" We don't have anything here. ”
"The slave maid also thinks it's strange...... Shui Yuan paused, seeing that Mu Qingge's face was a little tired, knowing that she was very tired these days, she suddenly felt ashamed again, and felt that she was too inconsiderate in doing things, "I'm sorry, miss, the slave shouldn't wake you up, you can continue to sleep for a while, anyway, there is nothing to do, it may be that the slave is thinking too much." ”
"No, you didn't think too much about it, they must have come for a purpose, there have been a lot of real things recently, you have to be careful." Although Mu Qingge was still tired, he couldn't sleep anymore, so he simply put on his clothes and got out of bed.
"Miss, you can sleep for a while, it's still early, you haven't slept well for a long time......" Shui Yuange hurriedly stopped Mu Qingge.
"It's okay, I can't sleep, just get up." Mu Qingge shook her head, and Shui Yuan was helpless, so she had to wait for her to get dressed.
Mu Qingge got up and was actually fine, so he lit a candle to practice calligraphy, recently things have happened one after another, and everything seems to be not so simple behind it. Mu Qingge had a feeling in his heart that a storm was coming. She felt that she was still too young to hold her breath. Therefore, I want to practice my words and practice my state of mind.
It's easy to wait until dawn, Mu Qingge personally cooks and cooks medicinal porridge for Mu Wenhan.
Before the porridge was ready, I saw Poria running over in a hurry: "Miss, Miss ......"
Always screaming like this, a smile appeared on the corner of Mu Qingge's mouth, and he raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?" (To be continued.) )
