Chapter 265: Decision

"Why?" Mu Jinshang took two steps back and almost wanted to fall, and the expression on his face changed again and again.

From disappointment to anger to shame and finally to calm, the strong support calmed her down. Respectfully saluted King Qin, and whispered: "Yes, the concubine has written it down, and she will learn from the princess well, please rest assured." ”

Xia Houyan watched her changes coldly, and at first she felt normal, but when she calmed down, a chill suddenly appeared in her heart, this woman's scheming was far beyond his expectations.

"You...... Shape up or ship out. In the end, Xia Houyan only said such a sentence.

Mu Jinshang bowed again, "Yes, the concubine understands." ”

Xia Houyan left directly, and Mu Jinshang saw him go out.

Neither of them mentioned what happened on the street, and Mu Jinshang only regarded it as a dream.

After seeing Xia Houyan, Mu Jinsheng's face finally turned hideous, and he didn't notice that the pointed nails of his hands were stuck in the flesh.

"Humph!" After a long time, Mu Jinshang laughed and said to herself gloomily, "Look down on me?" It turns out that what I did was useless in his eyes, so why did he send someone to ask? Haha, it turns out that there are times when you can't make up your mind. Let's wait, I'll wait for you to come and beg me. What should have happened in a previous life must also happen in this life. ”

She is talking about Song Xueyan and her son, these two did not live until King Qin ascended the throne in their previous lives, so they should be like this in this life. Even if they are alive now, they will have to die in some time.

Mu Jinsheng's heart is completely blackened, to conscience and morality. She didn't care, she just thought about the throne of the most noble woman in the world.

Qin Wangfu is still living as always, and Mu Jinsheng married in without a ripple. It's just that Andingbofu is often talked about. Even the previous rumors about Hu killing the main room and abusing the children in the main room were dug up again. In short, Andingbofu is a big loss.

Hu Shi was so angry again, she was bent on relying on her eldest daughter to turn over, which is good. There was no way, she had to put all these sins on Mu Jinrou's head, thinking that she had taken away her daughter's luck.

Mu Boyuan is very low-key. Knowing that he was on the cusp of the storm right now, and there were rumors about his mother and sister outside, he had to keep a low profile to the dust so that he would not be noticed. When he comes back after everything has passed, I have to say that he is very smart.

As the days passed, Mu Bowen also moved out of Bofu, and Mu Jinrou returned to Dongfu early.

It's in the moon. Gotta Cat Winter!

On this day, Mu Jinrou was talking to Mrs. Dong. As he spoke, he went to the court. Mu Jinrou has been very busy during this time, and she will always prick up her ears to listen to this kind of big situation.

Old Madam Dong also heard the Dong family brothers say inadvertently, "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is not in good health. ”

There are many meanings in this statement, depending on how you understand it.

Mu Jinrou stopped beating her shoulders and asked, "Then what?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's injuries are healed. ”

Mrs. Dong looked at her and smiled slightly, and pinched her face lovingly, "My soft girl is smart, listen to my aunt." ”

Mu Jinrou hugged her arm. Pretending to be coquettish, he said, "Auntie, talk quickly." ”

"Huh. Good. That's it. Old Madam Dong couldn't do anything about her, and continued: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's injury is said to be good, but his body is still very weak, and His Majesty is quite concerned about him during this time. When he was sick, he even let him be imprisoned. This is not common, you must know that our Emperor Majesty is a ...... Suspicious. ”

The last four words were said in a rather small voice, but it was enough to explain the problem, and Mu Jinrou nodded to show that she understood.

Mrs. Dong said again: "However, King Qin, who was very favored in the past, is different, his errand is to monitor King Hong in the post house, this matter can be big or small, if King Hong has any accidents, he will not be able to escape the involvement." ”

Mu Jinrou frowned secretly, then King Hong really had an accident, and he was no longer in the capital. She always felt that this thing was not so simple, how could she feel like a storm was coming?

Speaking of current affairs, Mu Jinrou knew that the prince's side had basically gained a firm foothold, and as long as there was no major turmoil, they would be able to have a good result. Just wanted to change the topic, but who knew that Mrs. Dong talked about something else.

"Alas, soft girl, my sister's life is miserable." Old Madam Dong patted Mu Jinrou's hand and said, "Your grandmother is dedicated to kindness, but she didn't expect it to be such a result." Your uncle has finally returned to Beijing, but His Majesty the Emperor has not yet assigned him an official position, and the old mansion cannot be returned. I heard that your cousin is not married yet, so you have to hurry up on this matter, a good girl doesn't wait for anyone. ”

Mu Jinrou had no impression of them, and did not have a particularly deep feeling, so she only said: "Auntie, don't worry, my uncle has been in the south for many years, and there will be no shortage of banks in his hands, since His Majesty the Emperor has always had a deep meaning in letting him return to Beijing, let's relax." ”

Old Madam Dong patted her hand again and said, "It's still soft girl, so be it." No one thought that Zhicheng, a complete scholar, would become friends with Ren Qianli, and I heard your two uncles say that they often drink together. ”

Speaking of Ren Qianli, Mu Jinrou thought of Ren Susu again, and owed this girl two good skins. officially diverted the topic, "Auntie, I have a little friendship with Lord Ren's daughter, and I still owe her two good skins, I wonder if I can invite her to our house to enjoy the plums?" ”

"Plum blossoms?" Old Madam Dong was stunned for a moment, "Just those two old plum trees, if this is the plum garden of the Qin Palace, it can be called plum appreciation." ”

Mu Jinrou smiled: "The intention of being drunk is not in wine." ”

"You girl!" Old Madam Dong smiled and nodded, this is agreed.

Mu Jinrou returned to her room and posted a post, by the way, she asked her old man and her uncle what they were doing, she didn't believe that two unrelated people would hit it off at first sight, the combination of a scholar and a martial artist was too strange.

In the month of Layue, the capital has been dripping into ice, and the snowflakes are continuous, but it is a different scene in the Nanling, which is thousands of miles away, but there are few snowflakes here, there is almost no winter, and the coldest is only the temperature of late autumn.

Boss Jia, who is also the real new King Hong, Xia Houtian, returned to the palace after a long journey. But I found that the important places in the house had been touched, and after asking the big housekeeper, it turned out that in the days when King Lao Hong passed away and he left the house, the emperor had already sent someone to search once.

"Huh! It's so calculating. We all underestimated Ye Zhicheng, afraid that the purpose of his stay in Nanling all these years was to watch our palace. Xia Houtian said with a smile, unable to tell whether he was happy or worried.

The chief butler knew that there were some things that could not be hidden, so he told everything that had happened after he left the house.

"What!?" After hearing this, Xia Houtian's face changed, "Our iron kiln and other unruly industries have been copied?" ”

The chief butler couldn't stand his momentum, and immediately knelt down, "Yes." Back to the prince, all of them were copied by the officers and soldiers, saying that there was a holy decree of the emperor. ”

Xia Houtian quickly calmed down. Bounced the dust that was not on his body and drank tea leisurely.

Such a reaction made the people around him puzzled, and they all looked at the thin man, who was Xia Houtian's little girl.

The thin man is also in a hurry. stepped forward and tried to ask, "Lord Wang." Has our business been exposed? ”

Xia Houtian nodded, "Yes, we really underestimated Ye Zhicheng, if we weren't sure, the emperor wouldn't have made such a holy decree." ”

"That'...... Why didn't you copy our palace? Even those of us didn't move. "The thin man doesn't understand.

Xia Houtian shook his head slightly, but said with a sigh on his lips: "This is Ye Zhicheng's cleverness, it is better to elevate us than to kill us." If only they already knew who we were. Haha, that's funny. ”

He didn't feel bad at all. The old man once said that a prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince. But he really didn't want to be the emperor, he just wanted to stir up the heavens of Great Xia.

But the thin man and his staff didn't think so, and they were so anxious that they persuaded him to raise troops one by one.

Xia Houtian sneered, "Raise troops? In what name? Do we have silver, do we have people, do we have weapons? ”

These were originally there, but now there is only silver and people.

The chief butler was still not reconciled, and said, "Some of us have silver. ”

"There is silver, after all, my father and grandfather have saved all their lives. Lovely? Do you think you can do it with those toasts? Xia Houtian asked rhetorically, looking at him with cold eyes.

The big butler broke out in a cold sweat, but he still had the courage to say, "There are many of them." ”

"I'll go to you with a lot of people!" Xia Houtian smashed the tea bowl on his forehead with his backhand.

The broken porcelain cut through the skin, the blood flowed incessantly, and the chief butler was even more frightened to death, kneeling on the ground trembling and not daring to say a word, letting the blood on his forehead flow down.

"Let me tell you, if you don't want to stay in Houfu and follow this king, give you a good place to go, and in the future, that person will win the world, maybe you will all be added to the rank and become a knight." Xia Houtian said patiently, "Those toasts are greedy for money and afraid of things, if we get good, they will surround them like flies, if something is bad, how far they go, we have to guard against them stabbing them in the back." This matter should not be brought up again. ”

But there are still people who stand up without knowing whether they are alive or dead, it is the strategist recruited by the old Hongwang, a middle-aged scholar, bowed down and said: "Little prince, the old prince didn't say that when he was alive, we want to do our best to assist the little prince, even if it doesn't work out in this life, the descendants of the little prince must take this as their responsibility." ”

Xia Houtian's eyes swept around like a knife, "You all think so?" ”

Except for the kneeling butler and the thin man, all the counselors bowed down.

"Okay, let's let the prince think about it or two." After speaking, Xia Houtian took the thin man into the inner room.

In this way, only the thin man in Xia Houtian knew that he had moved to kill, and the little prince had been instilled with this idea by the old prince since he was a child, but the little prince's mind was not here, or he hated all this since he learned his true life experience. Finally, when King Lao Hong died, how could he not live according to his own heart.

Xia Houtian really wants to kill all these strategists, how can it be so easy to raise troops, now there are no natural disasters, the country and the people are safe, the emperor is not bad, and the life of the common people is good.

So he wants to provoke a fight between the two princes, hoping to make a profit. But King Lao Hong died, and the arrangement of two generations of their palace was completely destroyed, and if they raised troops again, they would be fools, and they would live too long.

"Thin man, your master, the prince may be coming to an end, what are your plans?" In the inner room, Xia Houtian was still leisurely drinking tea.

The thin man said: "Wherever the prince goes, the little one will follow." ”

"Well, you secretly ask those people who want to follow me. If you don't want to, you ....... Xia Houtian made a throat-cutting motion, he has never been a gentle person, otherwise he would not have released arrows to kill the two princes.

The thin man was stunned, but he still received his order.

A person's room is a little empty, even if the room is full of priceless furnishings, Xia Houtian misses the rest room of the foodie restaurant a little, small and warm.

"Actually, it's not bad to be a rich man, you can live as you want." Xia Houtian muttered to himself, "But before that, I still want to make it bad, or I'm sorry for the old guy who raised me." ”

At this time, Xia Houtian made a bold decision, and this decision also changed the fate of many people. Old negative

In Beijing, it has been rooted in recent years, and everyone is busy with New Year's goods.

This year's Dong Mansion plans to celebrate the New Year in a low-key manner, and it is not as busy as in previous years, because the old emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and as a courtier, he has to be sad. So, keeping a low profile is king!

Ren Susu came as promised with the post, of course, Mu Jinrou also invited Mu Jinrong and Mu Jinpei, two sisters, and naturally Bai Forsythia who loves to join in the fun.

So, a temporary shed was built under the two old plum trees in the Dongfu Garden, which was considered to be a plum appreciation.

Ren Susu's legs have long been healed, and he has grown a little taller, becoming more and more graceful. Holding two pieces of fine white fox skins, he thanked Mu Jinrou again and again.

While talking and laughing, Mu Jinrou knew that Ren Susu also had an elder brother, and Ren Qianli was a country boy, but he married a learned girl in the town, and only after joining the army did he climb to his current status little by little.

Everything in the family is Ren Susu's mother in Zhangluo, years of hard work has fallen rheumatism, the weather will be cold and cloudy, it will hurt terribly, I want to find a good skin to warm my legs.

Without Mu Jinsheng's ruthlessness, the four girls can still talk. Mu Jinrou always asked about Ren Qianli, intentionally or unintentionally, wondering what errand her uncle was doing.

But she never thought of bringing out a major event that almost everyone in the capital knew about, and Du Mu Jinrou, who was detained at home, didn't know, so they pushed her to come quickly.

Ren Susu was also a speaker, so he gushed out, "That's the case, this matter is related to King Hong in the post house, I still found out after asking my father." ”

"Speak quickly!" When Mu Jinrou heard this, she wanted to know even more.

"You know what? The Miaojiang woman who gave birth to the current King Hongjiang came to the door, saying that when the old King Hong died, she must recognize her son, and let her son stop being the prince, and go back to their Miao Jiang to be the leader of their tribe. After Ren Susu said this, he looked at everyone with a blank look, and his eyes were saying, hurry up and ask, my news here is exclusive. (To be continued.) )
