Chapter 217
With the water kite by his side, Mu Qingge's heart was much more steady. In the afternoon, he took the kite out to bask in the sun, and as expected, he saw that Miss Chen was also basking in the sun in the old place, and it could be seen that Miss Chen's face was unprecedentedly happy. It seems that the arrival of King Shijian really made Miss Chen very happy.
"Yo, this palace maid looks good......" When Miss Chen saw Mu Qingge, she naturally saw the water kite, she was originally a person who practiced martial arts, and when she saw the water kite, she knew that she was also good at martial arts, so she pointed out that the water kite was not ordinary.
"It seems that Miss Chen is in a good mood." Mu Qingge stood next to Miss Chen, looked at her, and the water kite didn't say a word, and consciously stood not far behind Mu Qingge.
Miss Chen obviously didn't have any intention of mentioning King Shijian to Mu Qingge, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that? If I do acupuncture again today and tomorrow, my internal strength will be fully restored...... It's been ten years, and I'm finally free, can I not be happy? ”
"Yes, it's a pity that I can't be happy." Mu Qingge sighed.
"Don't worry, when my martial arts are restored, no one will want to harm you, I will protect you." Miss Chen seems to be really in a good mood and promises generously.
"But isn't there still two days left? I also saw yesterday that the small martial arts are not as powerful as I imagined, if there are two more powerful people, maybe not only me, you will all be implicated. Mu Qingge still looked sad.
"Don't worry, it won't ......"
"Why is Miss Chen so sure?" Mu Qingge stared at Miss Chen, and saw that her expression was momentarily unnatural. Then it quickly recovered.
"Don't they all say that Ji people have their own natural appearance? As a healer, you have saved so many people's lives, God will not let you die early......" Miss Chen is obviously no longer round, but she is indeed powerful, and when she says such things, her face does not change and her heart does not beat.
"Forget it, isn't there another saying that good people don't live long?" Mu Qingge followed Miss Chen's meaning and said, "I don't believe in my luck, but I believe in the people around me. The kite will protect my ......"
"So this girl's name is a water kite? Good name. It seems that you trust her more than the two before......" Miss Chen also wished that Mu Qingge would change the topic earlier, so she naturally followed Mu Qingge's meaning and shifted the topic to the water kite.
"That's not it, I trust the people around me. It's just that. I didn't protect the winter rain and winter snow. It's already very guilty. Naturally, we can't let the water kite be hurt anymore......" Mu Qingge really felt guilty when he thought of Winter Rain and Winter Snow.
"Well, both Winter Rain and Winter Snow are here to protect you. If you live well, they will be able to look at each other. Miss Chen comforted a little absent-mindedly.
"Isn't it?" The water kite answered behind his back, "Miss, don't feel guilty, when we find out the murderer, we will definitely avenge Dongyu and Dongxue." ”
Miss Chen glanced back at the water kite, and Mu Qingge had already continued: "Speaking of which, I discovered a strange thing yesterday......
This sentence was said to Miss Chen, who withdrew her gaze from the water kite and looked at Mu Qingge: "Miss Mu found something strange?" ”
"Yesterday's masked killer, Miss Chen still remember, right?" Mu Qingge stared at Miss Chen, "He was kicked by the girl, and then the knife in his hand fell to the ground, when the two masked men left, they didn't take the knife with them, and when they cleaned up, they didn't find the knife, I looked for it in the room later, but I still didn't find the knife......"
Mu Qingge looked at Miss Chen, did not continue, deliberately paused, and only stared at Miss Chen,
"What does Miss Mu want to say?" Miss Chen's tone sank slightly, but her complexion did not change much.
"I've thought about it, there were only a few people in that room yesterday, where did the knife go? Can Miss Chen help me think about it? Mu Qingge asked slowly.
Miss Chen stared at Mu Qingge, and after a while, she suddenly laughed: "You're really funny, aren't you just suspicious of me?" Why not just say it? ”
Mu Qingge looked at Miss Chen, and also smiled slightly, but did not speak.
"That's right, I took the knife." Miss Chen was also refreshed, and quickly admitted the fact that she had taken the knife.
Mu Qingge was slightly stunned, and then asked, "I don't know what Miss Chen wanted to do when she took that knife?" ”
"Why be so careful?" Miss Chen still had a smile on her face, "You want to find that knife, and why?" ”
"Well, as I remembered later, the style of that knife wasn't quite the same as the one we usually use in Daishiki. Thinking about it carefully, it is somewhat similar to the sabers used by those Shijian soldiers that I saw in Jincheng, so I suspect that the knife came from Shijian ......" Mu Qingge slowly expressed his doubts.
Miss Chen was stunned, probably because she didn't expect Mu Qingge to observe so meticulously. After a pause, he said, "Okay, actually, I also saw that the knife seemed to come from a stone stream, so I took it." ”
"I guess that's the ......" Mu Qingge's tone suddenly became brisk, "Did Miss Chen see any clues?" I knew that with the girl's relationship with Shijian, I should be able to recognize the knife......"
Miss Chen looked at Mu Qingge's eyes with a hint of doubt, thought for a while, and said, "There is a special mark on that knife. If I'm not mistaken, it should be...... The saber used by King Shijian's subordinates, at least ten years ago, was a special symbol that belonged to King Shijian's subordinates......"
I didn't expect Miss Chen to admit the relationship between the saber and the King of Shijian so lightly, Mu Qingge herself was stunned, and she stammered a little when she spoke: "This ...... Could it be that the King of Shijian wants to kill me? No way? I...... King Shijian and I don't seem to have any hatred, right? I don't even know him...... Miss Chen, you read that right? ”
Miss Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just said that the sign belonged to King Shijian ten years ago, but now it still belongs to the subordinates of King Shijian, and it's really hard to say." Moreover, even if that person is a subordinate of King Shijian, it doesn't mean that this is what King Shijian means, don't think too much......"
Hearing that Miss Chen was protecting the Shijian King like this, Mu Qingge knew that her heart was still inclined to the Shijian King. This was expected, and it was beyond Mu Qingge's expectation that Miss Chen could tell her so much. So. Mu Qingge didn't continue to ask. Instead, he sighed in distress: "I thought it was my sister, but I didn't expect that now it is all involved in Shijian, it's really ...... Who have I offended? Why would anyone want me to die so much? ”
Miss Chen patted Mu Qingge's shoulder comfortingly. "That's not what I said. It's not a question of offending people. Maybe it's because you're so good, right? That's why it will arouse the jealousy of others, and it will attract these rights and wrongs, and it will be good to have a normal heart......"
"That's right. Miss Chen, I want to ask you a question. Mu Qingge said suddenly.
"What's the problem, you say." Miss Chen hadn't noticed that Mu Qingge had jumped into another mode of thinking.
"If, I mean, if you and King Shijian reunite again, will you still follow him?" Mu Qing said.
Miss Chen's hand was still on Mu Qingge's shoulder, but now when she heard this question, she couldn't help but tremble, and her face couldn't help but change.
"What do you mean Miss Mu?" The first to ask questions was Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao immediately blocked in front of Miss Chen, looking like a great enemy.
"What's wrong with the little girl?" Mu Qingge looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao and Miss Chen innocently, "I was just thinking, I might be able to ask Miss Chen to do me a favor, you guys are ......"
"How can it help? What does it have to do with King Shijian? Miss Chen quickly calmed down, pulled away slightly without a trace, stared at Mu Qingge and asked.
"Well, didn't I tell the girl before? Now Shi Jian wants our princess Rou'an to go and kiss. However, Princess Rou'an is not in good health and can't travel long distances, and if she really goes to get married, I'm afraid that she won't be able to wait for Shijian and she won't be able to hold on the road. However, this is a contract between the two countries, and it cannot be arbitrarily said that if you don't marry, you won't marry. But if King Shijian himself doesn't want to marry, then naturally His Majesty has no reason to disagree, isn't it? Mu Qingge said naturally, and didn't feel how unreasonable his request was.
"That's right, but you look for me, it seems that you're looking for the wrong person......" Miss Chen heard Mu Qingge say this, and she unconsciously felt that she was thinking too much, but was she really thinking too much? Miss Chen was a little uneasy in her heart, and she always felt that it was not so simple.
"Isn't there really nothing I can do?" Mu Qingge said with a headache, "I'm in this cold palace now, and I can't get out, and I can't contact people outside." It's hard to get someone to help. The only person who can be found is you, Miss Chen. Miss Chen's martial arts will be restored soon, and when your martial arts are restored, you will definitely leave this cold palace immediately, right? Your martial arts are so powerful, others will definitely not be able to stop you. You have such a deep affection for King Shijian, you naturally want to find King Shijian when you go out. I don't think you want King Shijian to marry so many concubines, right? It was just when you weren't there, and now you're back...... Like a princess, what does it matter if you marry or not? ”
As soon as Mu Qingge said this, Miss Chen's face was not so good-looking. This matter, no matter how she said it, was a pain in her heart. After ten years of separation, I wasted ten years of youth for Miss Wang Chen of Shijian. Now that they have finally met, the other party is already famous, with a group of wives and concubines. Although it is said that the king of Shijian still cares about himself from his table last night. But Miss Chen is a thoughtful person, or does she feel something different from before. Now Miss Chen has not yet figured out how to deal with herself, but this worry has been diluted by the joy of reunion for the time being. But in the future, such a problem will always exist.
"In this matter, you should go to King Shijian and tell me, what's the use?" Miss Chen smiled self-deprecatingly, and her voice lowered, "I'm nothing to King Shijian, where am I qualified to say something like that?" He had no reason to listen to me. ”
"Miss Chen is not right to say this...... Mu Qingge hurriedly said, "The girl has paid the most precious ten years of her life for the King of Shijian, but if the King of Shijian still has a little conscience, it will be good to the girl for the rest of her life." It's just a princess of an enemy country, what does it matter if you marry or not? Where is it more important than you, girl? ”
The more Mu Qingge said this, the more uncomfortable Miss Chen felt in her heart.
"Of course. I don't mean anything else......" Seeing that Miss Chen's face was really ugly, Mu Qingge slowed down his tone and said comfortingly, "I just mentioned that, if the girl can see King Shijian, I just hope that the girl can help me with this." Of course, it's up to you whether the girl agrees or not, after all, the condition I exchanged with the girl was not to assassinate His Majesty again. The girl also promised me, and I believe that the girl is a person who does what she says. Helping the princess intercede, I'm just talking about it in passing. If the girl is willing to help. We will all be grateful and always remember the good of the girl. If the girl feels embarrassed, we will never dare to force ......."
Mu Qingge was so retreating, but Miss Chen was a little embarrassed. Finally, he relented and said, "Since you said so." If I really met the King of Stone Stream. So I will persuade him. However, whether it is useful or not, it is not said that it can be calculated. ”
"As long as the girl is willing to speak. We are grateful, and if we can't make it, we all accept the girl's love. Mu Qingge said gratefully.
"You've used both opportunities for others, so don't you have anything you want me to help with?" Miss Chen didn't want to continue to discuss this issue with Mu Qingge, so she changed the subject.
"Yes, of course there is, but the princess's affairs are a little more anxious." Mu Qingge said casually.
Miss Chen looked at Mu Qingge, and she didn't say anything after all.
Mu Qingge also wanted to talk to Miss Chen about Shijian, but when he saw that Miss Chen's face suddenly changed, he said to Mu Qingge a little anxiously: "I'm a little tired, so I won't accompany Miss Mu." ”
After that, without waiting for Mu Qingge to speak, he hurriedly left.
Mu Qingge was slightly stunned, what could make Miss Chen so anxious?
"Kite, did you find anything?" Mu Qingge waited until Miss Chen and Xiaofu left, and then asked the water kite on the side.
"Miss, someone has come in." The water kite whispered, "Do you want the slave to go with you?" ”
"Are you sure?" Mu Qingge was a little uneasy, after all, King Shijian's martial arts looked very powerful. Mu Qingge now, everything he does is safety first. But at the same time, she really wanted to know who the person who came this time was, could it be King Shijian, and what would King Shijian say between King Shijian and Miss Chen?
"I don't dare to say anything else, but it's easy not to be discovered by them." The water kite calms the way.
"Alright, let's go back first." Mu Qingge still trusts the kite very much, and he feels relieved to hear that she is sure.
The house where Mu Qingge lived was not far from Miss Chen's house, and after the water kite came back, he sneaked out of the back door. Mu Qingge waited alone in the house, thinking repeatedly in his heart about how to take the next road.
I was thinking about it when I suddenly heard what seemed to be movement outside. Mu Qingge first thought that it was the water kite that came back, but as soon as he stood up, he felt that something was wrong, if it was a water kite, he would definitely come in directly, and he would not stay outside. But in this courtyard, there are only a few of them. Could it be Xiaofu? The water kite went to eavesdrop on Miss Chen, and Xiaofu came to spy on him?
Mu Qingge's heart was not very steady, and he tiptoed to the window and glanced outside. When I looked at it this way, I saw that there were really two people outside, as if they were still arguing, although the voice was very small, but they did not hide their figures. Mu Qingge looked at those two people, neither water kites nor Xiaofu. I couldn't help but feel a little strange, because she always felt a little familiar when she looked at that figure. Who is it?
Suddenly, one of the two people in the argument reached out and slapped the other. Then he turned his head and walked towards Mu Qingge's house. Mu Qingge didn't expect her to turn around suddenly, and she didn't have time to hide. Then I felt funny, I was in my room, what was there to hide? I also looked at it with great fanfare.
As soon as the two of them looked at each other like this, Mu Qingge was stunned. She recognized who that person was, no wonder it looked familiar.
"Or did you find out......" The man was not panicked when he saw that Mu Qingge had found him, but his tone was a little disdainful.
Mu Qingge gasped, not because of this person's words. That's right, she knows this person, this person is Miss Liu Qi, who had a conflict with her before, liked Mu Wenhan, and assassinated Princess Rou'an. Mu Qingge was surprised now, and it wasn't just because she wondered how she could see Miss Liu Qi here. What Mu Qingge was most surprised was that he had always felt that Miss Chen's face was familiar before, but now after looking at Miss Liu Qi, he realized that Miss Liu Qi and Miss Chen were eight points similar. The only difference is that Miss Liu Qi looks a little younger. If two people were dressed up in the same way, Mu Qingge felt that it would be almost impossible to tell the difference.
Just because of the similar appearance of Miss Liu Qi and Miss Chen, Mu Qingge felt that Miss Liu Qi's appearance here would definitely not be accidental. However, it was not an inevitable possibility behind the accident, but it made Mu Qingge's spine a little chilly.
"What? Seeing me stupid? Miss Liu Qi looked at Mu Qingge as if she was stunned, and said mockingly, "But I've only been locked up in the cold palace for a few days, why have I become a lot more stupid?" ”
"I didn't expect that in this cold palace, I could meet the old people." Mu Qingge reacted, opened the door of the room with a smile, and made a gesture of please, "It's really a happy thing, Miss Liu Qi, please come in and have a cup of tea." ”
Miss Liu Qi was stunned by Mu Qingge's attitude, but she still walked in very quickly, the girl who was arguing with Miss Liu Qi just now seemed to want to stop again, but she didn't stop it, hesitated for a moment, and followed in.
"Miss Liu Qi, please." Mu Qingge politely poured a cup of tea for Miss Liu Qi, "With this condition here, I can only grieve Miss Liu Qi to drink some old tea." ”
Miss Liu Qi smelled the tea, and didn't lower her mouth, so she said with a disdainful face: "Miss Fifteen can really be at peace with what she encounters, in such an environment, it seems that she is living quite comfortably." ”
Mu Qingge didn't hear the ridicule in her words, but Mu Qingge didn't care, but said with a smile: "Miss Liu Qi actually wandered around the cold palace, it's really Yaxing." ”
Miss Liu Qi seemed to remember the purpose of her coming, her face changed slightly, and she quickly swept through Mu Qingge's room, and didn't seem to find what she was looking for. couldn't help but ask Mu Qingge: "Here, are you living alone?" ”
"What are you kidding Miss Liu Qi? The cold palace is so big, how can I live alone? That's really scared to death......" Of course Mu Qingge knew what she was looking for, but she didn't break it.
"Who else lives here?" Miss Liu Qi immediately asked.
"I don't know who Miss Liu Qi wants to find?" Mu Qingge asked rhetorically.
"Don't pretend to be garlic with me, he's here to find you, right?" Miss Liu Qi suddenly went crazy and looked very angry.
"He? Who is he? Can Miss Liu Qi make it clear? It's really hard for me to answer such a vague question......" Mu Qingge covered his mouth, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, "There are really a lot of people who came to me today, I don't know which one Miss Liu Qi wants to find?" ”
"Sure enough......" Miss Liu Qi was so angry that she immediately stood up, and the girl who looked like she immediately stepped forward and wanted to stop Miss Liu Qi.
Miss Liu Qi was stopped by her like this, and her suppressed anger was provoked, and she reached out to hit the girl again. But she was shrewdly dodged by the girl, and the girl looked angry, but she didn't know if it was because of Mu Qingge's presence or something else, she didn't dare to be angry with Miss Liu Qi anyway, she just grabbed her arm and didn't let her continue to be angry.
"You're really cheap!" Miss Liu Qi couldn't get close to Mu Qingge's side, her mouth became more and more arrogant, and her speech became a lot rude, "It's not enough to seduce one or two, but now they all seduce him......"
Mu Qingge actually saw Miss Liu Qi's appearance at the beginning, and he understood a little in his heart. Miss Liu Qi looked like she had come to catch the traitor, and of course she came to arrest it should be King Shijian.
Although I don't understand why, in just a few days, Miss Liu Qi's mind ran from Mu Wenhan to King Shijian. However, Mu Qingge can guess a little bit, King Shijian is against Miss Liu Qi. Most of the reasons may be related to her appearance, Miss Liu Qi looks like Miss Chen.
And Miss Liu Qi obviously felt that King Shijian was here to find Mu Qingge. Although I don't know what King Shijian did, Miss Liu Qi has this misunderstanding. However, Mu Qingge did not intend to explain either. I don't know why, Mu Qingge is reluctant to meet Miss Chen and Miss Liu Qi in his private heart. As long as the two of them meet, there are things that they can't hide, and it doesn't do either of them any good. (To be continued......)
