Chapter 224
"Kite, what's wrong with you?" Mu Qingge asked worriedly, he had been upset by various sudden situations recently, and Mu Qingge's nerves were also a little sensitive.
"Huh? Oh, it's okay......" The water kite hurriedly followed, covering up, "The slave is just a little worried, there have been too many things recently......"
"Isn't it? You've been working hard lately, and you're still scared...... However, it will be fine after meeting His Royal Highness......" Mu Qingge comforted the water kite, but he didn't notice that he had subconsciously regarded Shang Qirui as a strong backer. It was obviously a messy situation, but when I thought of Shang Qirui, I immediately felt at ease, feeling that as long as there was Shang Qirui, anything could be solved.
The three of them quickly reached the gate of a secluded palace before they reached the door. The door opened, and it was Ding Mo who opened the door, seeing Mu Qingge, Ding Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, and said eagerly: "Miss, come in, Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time......"
Mu Qingge hurriedly entered the gate, Ding Mo closed the door behind him, pulled Zhimo by the hand, and said in a low voice: "You pay attention, don't let Miss and His Royal Highness find out the clues......"
"I ...... I know ......," Zhimo bowed his head and responded.
"I don't feel at ease...... You'd better stay away from Miss......" Ding Mo was still not at ease, and asked Zhimo to say.
Zhimo glared at Ding Mo, but in the other party's concerned eyes, he lowered his head again, although he felt sad, but he also acquiesced to Ding Mo's mention. Only then did Ding Mo put his mind at ease and dragged Zhimo to follow.
After the water kite made the previous discovery, she was particularly interested in Zhimo, and when she saw that Ding Mo and Zhimo were deliberately backward. also deliberately slowed down his pace and listened intently to their words.
Although these few sentences of dialogue do not say anything substantial. But based on their own discoveries, the kite is almost certain. Zhimo really fell in love with Mu Qingge.
"Water kite, why do you have a bad complexion?" Ding Mo caught up with the water kite and found that she was not as fast as Mu Qingge, he was a little surprised, but after a closer look, he found that the water kite's face was very bad.
"I was a little injured, and I don't get in the way......" The water kite didn't want Ding Mo to know that he already knew Zhimo's thoughts, and said perfunctorily.
"Who hurt you? Where's the injury? Let me see......" Ding Mo was surprised, they had trained together. He still has some confidence in the strength of the water kite, but the water kite is injured, it can be seen that that person is very powerful, and Mu Qingge and the others must have encountered great danger, so they became nervous all of a sudden.
The water kite was taken aback by Ding Mo's reaction, and deliberately said very easily: "It's really okay, it's all okay." Let's go see Your Highness first, Miss will talk about it in a moment......"
Ding Mo didn't continue to ask, but his face became solemn.
Mu Qingge walked not far before he saw Shang Qirui coming from afar. My heart was filled with joy in an instant. When she first went to the Cold Palace, although Mu Qingge also doubted Emperor Shang Jing, she didn't really think that she would die in the Cold Palace. But. With today's series of events, Mu Qingge really felt that he would throw a small life in the cold palace. People who have already died once know the horror of death best. Mu Qingge now sees the light of day again and sees the person he likes again. I can't hide the love in my heart.
Seeing Mu Qingge rushing towards him regardless of his reserve, Shang Qirui was happy and surprised, and the two hugged each other tightly.
"I really thought I would never see you again......" Mu Qingge's voice was slightly nasal, and then he realized that he was actually really scared. It's just that there is no one around me who can completely relax himself, so he has been holding back. Now that he has someone who can give him a sense of security, Mu Qingge feels that his love is about to collapse.
Shang Qirui is not very clear about what happened in the cold palace. However, Shang Qirui is very aware of Mu Qingge's character. In fact, whether it is Mu Qingge in the previous life or Mu Qingge in this life, although they are two different people, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are not very like ordinary girls. They are all people who are so calm that they are a little excessive, but behind Mu Qingge's calmness in the previous life is indifference, and behind Mu Qingge's calmness in this life is full of enthusiasm. But what is certain is that Mu Qingge is not an enthusiastic and unrestrained person. If it weren't for the point where he was really about to collapse, Mu Qingge would not have reacted like this and said such a thing.
Just listening to this sentence, Shang Qirui was already distressed, what kind of terrible thing did he encounter that would make Mu Qingge, who had always been calm, show such a vulnerable side? Shang Qirui suddenly regretted it, Emperor Shang Jing kept emphasizing to him that Mu Qingge was very safe, he had sent someone to protect him, and there would definitely be no danger. Because he thought too much, and Shang Qirui still believed in Emperor Shang Jing, he kept letting Mu Qingge stay in the cold palace and never went to her. But he didn't expect that as soon as they met, Mu Qingge would say such things.
"What's going on? Qingge, you sue me ......" Shang Qirui asked anxiously while reluctantly hugging Mu Qingge.
After Mu Qingge finished speaking, the love had already been released, and when Shang Qirui asked him like this, he realized that he seemed to be too emotional. Hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just a little emotional......"
said that it was okay, but his body was unwilling to leave Shang Qirui's arms, and he kept rubbing in Shang Qirui's arms, this place was really safe and comfortable.
If Mu Qingge was so active in normal times, Shang Qirui would definitely be happy. But now, Shang Qirui only felt distressed and regretful, but he didn't dare to ask Mu Qingge again, for fear of mentioning things that made her sad and sad. But I also made up my mind that I must find out what happened in the cold palace later.
Mu Qingge and Shang Qirui hugged each other there, and the attention of the water kite was all on Zhimo's body. Zhimo only glanced at the two of them, then quickly lowered his head, looking like he didn't dare to look more. The water kite could see from his pale face and dodging gaze that Zhimo was sad and sad. Sure enough, he just likes Mu Qingge! The water kite has been completely identified.
Mu Qingge didn't know how long he had hugged Shang Qirui, and Shang Qirui didn't urge her, but only hugged her hard. Whispered words of comfort. Mu Qingge, who came back to his senses, felt that in broad daylight, the two of them seemed to be too close. Suddenly embarrassed, he blushed slightly. Struggled out of Shang Qirui's arms.
"What's going on now?" Mu Qingge changed the topic a little unnaturally, of course, this is what she is most concerned about at the moment.
Shang Qirui hesitated slightly, put his arm around Mu Qingge's shoulder, and said, "Let's go talk in the house." ”
Then, he glanced back at the kite and gave it a look.
Mu Qingge was also really tired, and a few people entered the house.
"You sit down first, I'll get you something to eat, you're in the cold palace." Definitely didn't eat it, right? Shang Qirui asked Mu Qingge to sit down, then stood up and walked out.
Seeing Shang Qirui so caring, Mu Qingge was also very moved in his heart, and he didn't refute it at all. When Shang Qirui went out, Mu Qingge reacted, even if he got food, he didn't need Shang Qirui to do it himself? After scanning around the house, I found that the water kite was not there, and I don't know if it was because he didn't follow up at all just now or if he followed Shang Qirui out just now. Mu Qingge thought for a moment. I roughly understood what was going on. It must be Shang Qirui who wants to know what happened in the cold palace, but he is afraid of asking himself face-to-face, he is reluctant to say, or he is afraid of making himself sad again. So just go ask the water kite.
Mu Qingge couldn't help but be moved by Shang Qirui's intentions. Seeing that Ding Mo and Zhimo were still in the house, he also called them over. Ask about recent events.
Zhimo seemed to have something on his mind, and he didn't talk much. It's Ding Mo. Said a lot. It turned out that after Mu Qingge entered the palace that day, Shang Qirui had been uneasy. If you want them to follow up with the palace, come and take a look. Kill you hi Mu Qingge quickly sent the water kite out to report the situation, saying that it was all right in the palace, Shang Qirui naturally trusted the water kite, and he didn't think that things would be very strict, but he was worried that Princess Rou'an would be more.
It's just that Shang Qirui also knew that there was no one around Mu Qingge who could be used, so he asked the water kite to go back to the palace to help Mu Qingge. Who knew that the water kite would not be able to enter the palace, and Shang Qirui's face changed on the spot. Shang Qirui is different from Mu Qingge, he understands Emperor Shang Jingge, and he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and after the intrigue and tragedy in his previous life, of course, he immediately understood that Emperor Shang Jingge deliberately deceived Mu Qingge to send the water kite out of the palace. If there was nothing in the palace, Emperor Shang Jing didn't need to do that at all, and if he did that, it would mean that Mu Qingge's situation was very dangerous.
Shang Qirui was about to break into the palace at that time, but Ding Mo and the others couldn't persuade him. Later, it happened that Mrs. Zhuang was not worried about Mu Qingge, so she came to the prince's mansion to investigate the situation, and after learning the news, she persuaded Shang Qirui. First, he didn't know anything about the situation in the palace at that time, Emperor Shang Jing knew how important Mu Qingge was to Shang Qirui, but he still detained Mu Qingge alone in the palace, which means that even if Shang Qirui came forward, he would not let Mu Qingge go. Moreover, the water kite also said that Princess Rou'an's illness is real, and even Imperial Doctor He has no choice, only Mu Qingge can save it. Since Emperor Shang Jing invited Mu Qingge into the palace to save Princess Rou'an, it means that he must at least want to cure Princess Rou'an, that is to say, before Princess Rou'an wakes up, Emperor Shang Jing will definitely not do anything to Mu Qingge. Therefore, at least for the time being, Mu Qingge's safety is not to worry about.
After Shang Qirui calmed down, he also felt that he rushed into the palace rashly at that time, but he couldn't save Mu Qingge. It is better to use that time to understand the situation clearly before taking action, at least let Emperor Shang Jing not know that they have become suspicious, and attack Mu Qingge first.
After deciding, Shang Qirui used all the power in the palace to check Mu Qingge's state.
However, I don't know if the news of Emperor Shang Jing is blocked very much, and the news from the palace is that Mu Qingge is still in Princess Rou'an's palace. I heard that Princess Rou'an has improved somewhat, but there is no specific news about Mu Qingge.
Just when Shang Qirui was a little out of breath, Li Huan hurriedly came, saying that Mu Qingge had passed the news. Mrs. Zhuang also knew those codes, and at first glance, she felt that it was okay, Mu Qingge was still very safe, and Princess Rou'an's body was gradually improving. It's just that she is trapped in the palace and can't get out for the time being. Mu Qingge also said that the situation of the queen mother was more critical, and asked Shang Qirui to inquire more about the queen's mother.
Regarding Mu Qingge's matter, Mrs. Zhuang can still say a few words. But this time, the queen mother was involved, and it was inconvenient for Mrs. Zhuang to speak. And. These things of the royal family, these outsiders of them. What is known is only a superficial phenomenon, the real situation. It's up to them to see for themselves. The only thing that Mrs. Zhuang was worried about was that Shang Qirui was worried and made impulsive things.
But Shang Qirui was obviously much calmer than Mrs. Zhuang thought, he couldn't hold his breath before, but because he didn't understand the situation at all, he was inevitably impatient. Now that he understands the situation, he already has a plan in his heart. In fact, the sum of the two lifetimes is the age at which Shang Qirui lived. is not younger than Mrs. Zhuang, and he has experienced more things than Mrs. Zhuang, so Shang Qirui also knows very well what he should do.
Shang Qirui may not understand other things, but Shang Qirui's feelings for Empress Xue are understood by Shang Qirui. Even if Emperor Shang Jing's feelings for Empress Xue in this life are not exactly the same as in his previous life, according to Shang Qirui's own observations. It won't be much worse, or rather, in fact, Emperor Shang Jing in this life is actually better than Empress Xue in the previous life.
So. Under such circumstances, there was no reason for Emperor Shang Jing to suddenly dislike Empress Xue for no reason, just because of a little thing. will snow Queen Xue's power.
After two lifetimes of observation, Shang Qirui on certain things. I still trust my instincts very much. It was at this time that the person sent by Shang Qirui to the palace to contact Empress Xue came back. Only one sentence from Empress Xue came back: "I believe in your father." ”
Empress Xue is indeed deeply affectionate towards Emperor Shang Jing, which is true. But if Emperor Shang Jing really loses Empress Xue, Empress Xue may say don't go against your father, listen to your father's words and something like that, but she will never say that she believes your father's words. Empress Xue's words made Shang Qirui even more convinced that there must be a reason why Emperor Shang Jing did this.
However, Shang Qirui couldn't guess the reason. What Shang Qirui hesitated about now was whether to ask Emperor Shang Jing directly, or to secretly investigate in the dark first, find a way to find out the truth, and then help Emperor Shang Jing.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Shang Qirui still decided to go to Shang Jingdi. Because he knows very well that in this world, many times, many tragedies, in fact, are caused by love for each other. Many people always think that they will do something for the people they love, and in order not to worry them, they will not tell them first, and do it secretly. I always want to do a good job, and then tell him about this surprise. But in fact, hiding from each other, secretly thinking about each other, and secretly doing things are often counterproductive. In such an ending, many things backfired, not only did not solve the problem, but caused bigger problems.
After two lifetimes of experience, Shang Qirui didn't want to repay such a low-level mistake, since he believed in Emperor Shang Jing, he should believe that Emperor Shang Jing would also believe him. Therefore, Shang Qirui decided to go into the palace to find Emperor Shang Jing in person
Although everyone is still a little worried about Shang Qirui's entry into the palace, but looking at his confident appearance, everyone also feels that there is no reason to stop it, of course, they can't stop it if they want to.
originally thought that Shang Qirui would be blocked outside the palace, but who knew that Emperor Shang Jing actually seemed to know that he was going, and Shang Qirui went all the way to Emperor Shang Jing's dormitory unimpeded.
When Shang Qirui saw Emperor Shang Jing, Emperor Shang Jing was half-leaning on the rattan chair, his eyes closed, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or in his eyes. However, the whole person looks very unenergetic, revealing a tired message from head to toe. Shang Qirui only glanced at it, and he was even more sure that Emperor Shang Jing was in trouble.
The sound of Shang Qirui's arrival disturbed Shang Jingdi, he opened his eyes slightly, and saw that it was Shang Qirui. His expression changed slightly, and the whole person immediately became much more energetic.
Shang Qirui saw that Shang Jingdi didn't want to see his exhaustion, so he pretended not to know anything.
"You're coming pretty fast." Emperor Shang Jing looked at Shang Qirui and said slowly, his tone was a little unpredictable. Shang Qirui couldn't understand whether he was happy or unhappy.
"Father really knew I was coming?" Shang Qirui asked rhetorically.
"Of course...... Didn't that girl give you all the letters? If you don't come to me, are you still going to go directly to the palace to save people? Emperor Shang Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes were a little sharp.
It turned out that Emperor Shang Jing already knew about Mu Qingge's delivery of the news out of the palace, could it be that Emperor Shang Jing did it on purpose? He said, how could it be so easy to get the message out? Could it be that Emperor Shang Jing just wanted to test himself?
"How dare Erchen break into the palace? Besides, Qingge is not in any danger, how can my father say that he can't be saved? Shang Qirui paused, seeing that Emperor Shang Jing didn't intend to pay attention to himself, and said, "Actually, Qingge just told us that she was doing well in it, and Rou'an's body was gradually getting better......
"As you say...... First, before Mu Qingge delivered the news to you, you had already sent people around the palace to inquire about the news, what are you talking about? Second, if Mu Qingge just wants to tell you that she is doing well in the palace, why don't you pass on a message openly, but use such a secret method? Shang Jingdi's voice was not loud, but the meaning revealed in his words made Shang Qirui a little breathless.
What an obvious suspicion this was, Shang Qirui even felt for a moment that he had made a mistake in his decision to come directly to Shang Jingdi. Moreover, what is even more terrifying is that these things should be very secretive, but Emperor Shang Jing actually knows everything about it, what a terrible thing it is. Let's just say that Mu Qingge and Li Huan have secret words, even Shang Qirui himself doesn't know. Even if Emperor Shang Jing was suspicious of Mu Qingge, so he sent someone to keep an eye on her, but Shang Qirui felt that Mu Qingge's news was really transmitted without any flaws, how did Emperor Shang Jing know? Besides, his own forces were all absolutely reliable forces that Shang Qirui secretly found after his rebirth, how could they also be so clearly grasped by Emperor Shang Jing? Shang Qirui instantly felt that there was a creepy feeling, this Shang Jingdi was really powerful.
"Erchen doesn't understand what his father means......" Shang Qirui looked at Shang Jingdi's expressionless face, "If Erchen really had any thoughts, he wouldn't have come to see his father today...... Erchen hopes that between our father and son, there is something that can open the skylight and say bright words, many times, suspicion is the most chilling thing......"
Shang Jingdi adjusted his sitting posture, not knowing if it was his own illusion, Shang Qirui felt that Shang Jingdi seemed to be a little more relaxed, and muttered in his mouth: "If you hadn't come here in person today......
Shang Jingdi didn't say the next words, and the sentence itself was not for Shang Qirui, it felt more like a subconscious sentence. Before the words fell, Emperor Shang Jing said again: "It sounds good, can you guarantee that there is no suspicion in your heart?" ”
"In Erchen's heart, there are doubts, but there is absolutely no suspicion." Shang Qirui looked at Emperor Shang Jing sincerely, and suddenly found that his father was already old, his heart was slightly sour, and he said in a sworn tone, "My son guarantees that every word he said to his father today is absolutely true. ”
Emperor Shang Jing bowed slightly, his expression was a little loose, and it could be seen that Emperor Shang Jing was still satisfied with Shang Qirui's expression.
"Well, I'll ask you a question first, what did your queen mother tell you?" Shang Jingdi looked at Shang Qirui, I don't know if it was an illusion, Shang Qirui felt that Shang Jingdi seemed to be a little nervous.
"The queen mother only said five words to her sons...... Shang Qirui paused, and said to Emperor Shang Jing word by word, "I believe in your father!" ”
When Shang Qirui spoke, Emperor Shang Jing subconsciously sat up straight, and after hearing Shang Qirui finish saying those five words, the expression on his face looked strange, like relief and sadness. The whole person seemed to have no energy, and the whole person fell into the rattan chair.
Shang Qirui didn't speak, quietly waiting for Shang Jingdi's reaction. After a while, Emperor Shang Jing really asked Shang Qirui: "Do you know, what happened to your mother?" ”
"Erchen heard about ......it," Shang Qirui paused and said, "But Erchen doesn't know the inside story, so Erchen wants to hear his father say it himself." ”
Emperor Shang Jing looked at Shang Qirui, and when Shang Qirui looked over, he avoided Shang Qirui's gaze again, and after a long while, he said vaguely: "If I say that I am doing that, I have a hard time, do you believe it?" ”
"Erchen believes ......" Shang Qirui hesitated, but still did not continue to ask the real reason why Emperor Shang Jing grounded Empress Xue. This kind of Shang Jingdi is already the most vulnerable side he can reveal, and he can't be forced anymore. As long as he said that he was bitter, Shang Qirui really believed it. (To be continued......)
