Chapter 173
"I left before." Mu Qi said, he was afraid that Mu Qingge would see that the Li family was not there, something would happen, and Shang Qichao would be unhappy, so he asked her to wait here.
Mu Qingge was immediately furious when he heard Mu Qi's words, since the Li family had already left, why did he let himself wait here? Mu Qingge was angry enough about what he encountered all day today, Mu Qi and the old lady had this perfunctory attitude again and again, and the little respect that Mu Qingge had for them in his heart was about to be disintegrated.
"How can you do this! No matter what happens today, no matter how you protect your shortcomings, I will definitely not let them go......" Seeing Mu Qingge's complete outburst, the old lady was faintly uneasy, but Mu Qi could only smile bitterly.
"Qingge, you calm down first and listen to me." Mu Qi sighed, interrupting Mu Qingge's anger, "I have something important to tell you. ”
Mu Qingge looked at Mu Qi's serious expression, his heart moved, and he temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart to see what else he wanted to say.
"Do you know what the second prince is doing today?" Mu Qi didn't explain anything first, but asked Mu Qingge a question.
Mu Qingge was stunned, of course she didn't know the purpose of Shang Qi's coming. However, does this have anything to do with Mu Qingyao's poisoning?
"You probably already know, right? The emperor's draft girl this time was not for himself to enrich the harem, but for the princes and the people of Jinke. Mu Qi asked this question first,? Mu Qi did not object to the emperor's draft girl, and the emperor naturally did not tell him his true purpose. It was only when Mu Qi received Shijian's envoys at the last banquet that he heard about the true purpose of the emperor's draft girl. He didn't react much at the time. It doesn't matter who the show girl chooses. Although Mu Qingge was not at the banquet at that time, he must have heard about it.
"Yes." Although Mu Qingge wondered why Mu Qi was asking this question now, he still nodded in agreement with Mu Qi's guess.
"The second prince came today to sue us, and the emperor is going to give Mu Qingyao to him as the prince's side concubine." Mu Qi said with a wry smile.
This sentence was like a thunderbolt, resounding in Mu Qingge's ears and heart. The emperor actually wanted to marry Mu Qingyao to Shang Qichao as a side concubine?
If the emperor directly chose Mu Qingyao to be the show girl and the emperor's woman, Mu Qingge was not very worried. Because although Mu Qingyao is good at calculation, the emperor is not easy to fool, and there is still Queen Xue in the harem. There are also many high-ranking concubines. So she wasn't worried that Mu Qingyao would be able to take the position so quickly. But if you marry Shang Qichao, it may not be.
The Shang Qi Dynasty is now one of the most powerful contenders for the throne, whether it is the situation of Shang Qirui's previous life that was inadvertently revealed, or the ambition that the Shang Qi Dynasty is now inadvertently expressing, Mu Qingge can feel it. The Shang Qi Dynasty's desire for the throne. Of course. Probably most of the people in the world. They all aspire to the throne, but most people don't have the opportunity to fight for it. And Shang Qi Dynasty, he has a chance. And the chances of winning are still huge, so there's no reason why he shouldn't give it his all.
The Shang Qi Dynasty was interested in the throne, so he naturally wanted to find a strong helper. As the eldest daughter of the Mu family, Mu Qingyao is naturally a good candidate. In particular, Mu Qingyao and Mu Qingge have a grudge. And Shang Qirui is the biggest rival of Shang Qichao's ascension to the throne, so these two people will definitely join forces to deal with Mu Qingge and Shang Qirui.
No wonder, Shang Qichao wanted to help Mu Qingyao, it turned out that their relationship was like this. Mu Qingge still felt a little frightened, before Mu Qingyao came out of Xiàn liked Shang Qirui so much. But she is seducing Shang Qirui on the one hand, but she is uniting with Shang Qichao on the other hand, how did she do it?
Mu Qingge shook his head, these are all things in the future or before. The current thing is Mu Wenhan's business. Shang Qi's purpose for coming to the dynasty has been very clear, Mu Qingyao is his woman, no matter what Mu Qingyao does, he hopes that Mu Qi will not embarrass Mu Qingyao, otherwise it will be tantamount to opposing his second prince.
Mu Qingge couldn't completely guess Mu Qi's thoughts, but he thought about it from Mu Qi's point of view. Mu Qingge and Mu Qingyao, if one marries the third prince and the other marries the second prince, whether the third prince is the emperor or the second prince ascends the throne in the future, the Mu family will definitely have a lot of glory. Therefore, for the sake of the Mu family, the best way is not to offend both sides and wait for the final ending. Judging from Mu Qi's hard work for the Mu family, he would not refuse Shang Qi's proposal. In other words, Mu Qi will not punish Mu Qingyao's mother and daughter, and may even help them cover up their crimes.
Mu Qingge took a deep breath and said to Mu Qi: "Grandfather, I know that you are also embarrassed. I won't embarrass you, and I hope you don't embarrass me either. I don't expect you to help me, but I don't want you to stop me. ”
Mu Qi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, only nodded in agreement. At the end, he told Mu Qingge again: "Be careful yourself, don't be too reckless......"
Actually, Mu Qi wanted to say that he was willing to help Mu Qingge. However, the current situation really does not allow him to make too many moves. Not only for the sake of the Mu family, but also for the entire court. The current battle for the crown prince is the most fierce between the second prince Shang Qichao and the third prince Shang Qirui. Even Mu Qi could feel that before, the emperor's heart was more biased towards the Shang Qi Dynasty. But now, the emperor is more and more biased towards Shang Qirui. Therefore, in the eyes of the Shang Qi Dynasty, the more this prince hangs in the balance, the more unfavorable it is to them.
Although the second prince and the third prince seem to be happy on the surface, under the surface, there is an undercurrent. Mu Qi was almost certain that the Shang Qi Dynasty would be eager to stir up some trouble now, forcing the emperor to make a decision as much as possible. He blatantly came to Mu's house to help Mu Qingyao this time, not necessarily because he liked Mu Qingyao and wanted to help her, but more because he wanted to force Shang Qirui to do it.
Because Shang Qirui and Mu Wenhan have a good relationship, and they are obedient to Mu Qingge, Mu Qingge is the closest to Mu Wenhan. Therefore, the probability that Shang Qirui will stand out for Mu Wenhan is very high. Perhaps, poisoning. It's hard to say what Shang Qi ordered to do. Mu Qi watched the various intrigues and intrigues used in the struggle for power all his life, and he did not doubt that the Shang Qi Dynasty could use such a means at all. Therefore, the more times like this, the more you have to calm down.
Mu Qingge is young, and she attaches great importance to love and righteousness, she can't help but be angry, which is understandable. Mu Qi didn't stop Mu Qingge, because he was afraid that the anger in her heart would not be vented, and Shang Qirui couldn't see it and intervene, which would be even more troublesome. As long as things don't go out of the Mu family. Mu Qi will help Mu Qingge deal with the aftermath. So I was relieved to let her go.
Mu Qingge walked out of Mu Qi's courtyard, and his heart was still sad. This world is really too complicated. She must avenge herself and Mu Wenhan. Avenge Poria cocos.
Mu Qing sang and danced his arms. All the way to the Li family's courtyard. Oddly enough. The courtyard was deserted, and there was no one there. Although Mu Qingge was a little confused, he was not afraid. All the way straight to Lee's bedroom.
Li was dressed up beautifully as Mu Qingge expected, Li is usually wooden and not good at dressing up. They all like to wear some dark colors with a very low sense of zài, but today, she wore a rose-red splendid dress and delicate makeup, and her ordinary appearance added a bit of vitality.
Seeing Mu Qingge coming, Li didn't seem surprised, and greeted lightly: "Qingge, are you here?" ”
It's like she's been waiting for Mu Qingge, and it's like an ordinary greeting, and it's nothing special.
Mu Qingge was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer. Over there, the Li family had already sent someone who was waiting for him down: "You go outside and keep guard, don't let anyone in." ”
Mu Qingge felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he had to stay still and watch Li's next move.
"Qingge has gained some weight...... Li waited until everyone else retreated, looked at Mu Qingge, his eyes were kind, a little more kind than before, "It's getting more and more beautiful......
Mu Qingge was even more strange, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Li's gourd. But thinking of Mu Wenhan, who was still lying on the bed and suffering, Mu Qingge couldn't hold back any longer, and said: "Auntie, I still call you aunt, I just hope you can tell me the truth, the poison in my brother's pastry and the poison in the medicine, is it you who ordered it?" ”
"I didn't expect that after Qingge recovered from his illness, he was not only beautiful, but also became smarter and smarter, even better than Brother Han. I think that in the future, the pride of the Mu family will not be Brother Han, who my father has been proud of since he was a child, but Qingge, you......" Li seemed to sigh, and finished what he wanted to say, as if he didn't hear what Mu Qingge asked at all.
Mu Qingge was about to get angry, Li Shi waved his hand at her, smiled sadly, and said, "Don't worry, I will sue you." ”
Mu Qingge pursed his lips and did not speak. Li Shi thought for a moment and said, "I gave the poison." ”
There were only five words, but Li spoke very slowly, spitting out word by word, as if emphasizing.
Mu Qingge looked at the Li family, and the Li family said: "I am all unintentional, whether you believe it or not." ”
"Of course I don't believe it!" Mu Qingge always felt that the Li family was very abnormal today, and she really didn't believe what the Li family said. Judging from Li's current words and deeds, she has no hostility towards herself or Mu Wenhan, so why do she do something like that?
"What reason do you have for that? It doesn't make sense. Mu Qingge said firmly, "You are not that kind of person. ”
Li's eyes lit up slightly, and his gaze at Mu Qingge changed, and then he turned his head again and said with a smile: "No, I have a reason." ”
"What reason?" Mu Qingge asked involuntarily.
"My daughter is my reason, she doesn't like you, you should know ......" Li said frankly and directly.
Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, and could only nod.
"If I don't do something like this, my daughter will. So, for the sake of Qing Yao, this wicked person, I will do it. Li said softly, but he said firmly.
Mu Qingge was dumbfounded, but at the same time, he also understood in his heart that the power of maternal love, for Mu Qingyao's sake, the Li family could really do such a thing, right? Could it really be that the Li family did it? Even if the Li family really did it for Mu Qingyao, if the Li family did it, it had nothing to do with Mu Qingyao.
"As a mother, you know that you feel sorry for your child. Why haven't you thought about it? Other children are also born and raised by their mothers, and their Mu mother will also feel distressed, sad, and want to protect their ......" Mu Qingge only felt a little out of breath, and his heart became more and more sad, this family, this glamorous Mu family, what is wrong? How did it come to this?
A crack appeared in Li's expression, and it took a while to return to normal, she looked at Mu Qingge, and said seriously: "Qingge, I know that I did something wrong, so I bear all the blame." But can I ask you for one thing......"
Mu Qingge felt more and more strange, but she was even more angry: "You take it? How do you bear it? What do you take on it? It's murder, you know? You know that if I come back late for a stick of incense, my brother will be saved, you know? If you do such a vicious thing, you can bear it and it's over? ”
Mu Qingge couldn't imagine how could the Li family say such a thing so lightly? This is a matter of human life, how can it be as simple as buying a cabbage in her eyes? I'll just buy it. What else is asking for one thing, how can she be open?
"What you said is right, don't worry, since I said that I would bear it, I will definitely bear it." Li suddenly coughed a few times, and his face became a little ugly, "I really want to ask you for something." ”
Mu Qingge, who was furious, didn't notice that Li was wrong, but he was very helpless about her request: "You don't have to ask me for anything, I won't agree to anything related to you!" Remember, I won't just let you go! ”
After Mu Qingge finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Li was in a hurry and rushed over to grab Mu Qingge.
Perhaps because the action was too urgent, Li suddenly fell to the ground and coughed again.
Mu Qingge was startled, subconsciously turned around, and wanted to help the Li family, but he paused stiffly, and asked stiffly: "Are you okay?" ”
Li Shi shook his head, quickly wiped the corners of his mouth, and then looked up at Mu Qingge: "Qingge, please give me a little time to listen to me finish speaking, okay?" ”
Mu Qingge looked at Li's pleading eyes, and he didn't feel good in his heart. Although the Li family hurt herself and hurt Mu Wenhan, her maternal love for Mu Qingyao was what she envied the most. That's right, Mu Qingge admitted that she was envious of Mu Qingyao. (To be continued......) I1292
