Chapter 211
Mu Qingge was still immersed in the conjecture of the story between Miss Chen and Emperor Shang Jing, and Miss Chen continued: "If Miss Mu wants to go out, I am happy to help." โ
Miss Chen was deliberately diverting the topic, and it was a bit blunt, obviously not wanting Mu Qingge to focus on her relationship with Emperor Shang Jing. However, this just shows that there must be some kind of special relationship between Emperor Shang Jing and Miss Chen.
However, Mu Qingge still changed the topic along with Miss Chen's meaning, because the meaning revealed in her later sentence also made Mu Qingge very interested: "Did Miss Chen say that she wanted to help me leave the cold palace?" May I ask if there is any way the girl can help me leave? โ
Miss Chen has been in this cold palace for ten years, and she has no way to leave, but now she wants to say that she will help herself leave. Isn't that a little too illogical? Thinking about it carefully, there are nothing more than two possibilities, first, Miss Chen herself doesn't want to leave the cold palace, it seems that it is unlikely, because Mu Qingge can feel that Miss Chen still wants to go out. Miss Chen has a way to leave, but she can't do it alone, so she needs to find a helper. And herself, it seems to fit her selection criteria very well. That's why Miss Chen is so enthusiastic about herself.
"I naturally have my own way, but I can't sue you, sue you, what advantage do I have?" Miss Chen said very frankly, "In short, I promise you that I will definitely let you out of the cold palace, are you willing?" โ
"So, what price do I have to pay?" When Mu Qingge asked, she knew that Miss Chen probably wouldn't say it, so she wasn't disappointed. Instead, continue to ask for the cost. This is the most important thing, although Mu Qingge also hopes to be able to leave the cold palace. But, seriously. She is now in the cold palace, at least Emperor Shang Jingdi's attitude is still good, and her life will not be in danger for the time being. And to make a deal with a person like Miss Chen, who has been locked up in the cold palace for ten years, may pay a price that she can't afford. Mu Qingge has always felt that no matter what the situation, he should not be impulsive, and he should not take greater risks because of the current predicament, and put himself in a dilemma in the future. So. Mu Qingge is used to doing things before doing them. Let's weigh the pros and cons first.
"It's not a price, you're too serious." Miss Chen said with a smile, but she didn't answer directly, "I just need you to do me a small favor." It's really a small favor. For you. It's just a gesture. You can rest assured that it will not be harmful to you or others. โ
Miss Chen was very sincere. This time, Mu Qingge couldn't believe it. If it was really that simple, why didn't she just sue herself? It's more certain that there's something wrong with it, isn't it?
"Okay, Miss Mu can think about it carefully, in short, what I said is all the truth, you can think about it yourself. I've been waiting for ten years, and it's not too many days......" Miss Chen stopped her mouth a little annoyed, why did she talk too much?
Mu Qingge's eyes lit up, he had waited for ten years? Miss Chen has waited for ten years and has not done anything successful, but she only needs her own efforts? Mu Qingge has already made a decision in his heart, this matter is definitely not as simple as Miss Chen said, it is better not to mix.
"Okay, I'll go back and think about it......" Mu Qingge agreed to Miss Chen's meaning, and said goodbye by the way.
Miss Chen seemed a little annoyed that Mu Qingge didn't agree, her face was not very good-looking, but she didn't force it to stay. When Mu Qingge was leaving, he also took two medicine bags and handed them to Mu Qingge: "This, give it to you to deworm at night......
"You're here again......" Mu Qingge didn't react yet, the winter rain and winter snow that he had been enduring became excited instantly, and he rushed over to grab the medicine bag.
"This time it's a real medicine bag, there's nothing else in it......" Miss Chen said funny, not looking at Dongyu and Dongxue, but just singing to Mu Qing.
"Thank you, Miss Chen." Mu Qingge reached out and took the medicine bag, and by the way, stopped the actions of Dongyu and Dongxue, and walked out.
Dong Yu and Dong Xue stomped their feet and glared at Xiao Fu who was stopping in front of Miss Chen, before turning around and following Mu Qingge.
"These two medicine packs are really good things to repel insects. In this cold palace, there are a lot of all kinds of insect poisons, and if we don't have these medicine bags, when we go to bed at night, maybe a poisonous snake will crawl on the bed. So, since someone sent it, let's keep it. Don't underestimate these two medicine packets, these medicinal materials are precious. There was nothing to say along the way, and when she returned to the house, Mu Qingge felt that the two little girls must be a little dissatisfied with the previous incident, so she explained by the way.
Dongyu and Dongxue were already a little scared when they heard that there might be poisonous snakes crawling on the bed at night, although they had learned martial arts, but in the end, it was a girl's family, how could they not be afraid? It's just that, based on his distrust of Miss Chen, there are still some pimples in his heart. Dong Xue pouted and said: "The slave also understands this truth, but that Miss Chen, no matter how she looks at it, doesn't look like a good person, and she still provokes the young lady...... In short, Miss should be careful with her......"
"Who is Miss? Can you see Miss Chen's ulterior motives? Dongyu took Dongxue's words and motioned her not to say too much, "Miss must have a plan in her heart." โ
"That's right......" Mu Qingge glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and said, "I'm not stupid, they are all people around me, and I know what to do." Don't worry, there are a lot of things, I just don't say it, I know it in my heart. โ
The implication of this sentence was obvious enough, Dongyu and Dongxue bowed their heads a little weakly, but they were not sure if Mu Qingge was talking to the two of them, so they didn't dare to talk.
Mu Qingge sighed in his heart and went to bed early. Dongyu and Dongxue didn't dare to say much, and they went to bed early.
The beds of the three of them were still in the same room, and in the middle of the night, Mu Qingge heard the strange bird chirping again, and then the sound of winter rain and winter snow getting up. Before leaving, the two of them took a look at Mu Qingge's bed as usual.
Mu Qingge closed his eyes, didn't bother to move, and still didn't get up to see where Dongyu and Dongxue went.
This time, the two girls came back quickly, presumably Qing Leng explained things very concisely this time.
Nothing was said all night. The next day, Dongyu and Dongxue still didn't mention to Mu Qingge about going out at night, and Mu Qingge didn't know. Miss Chen's side, maybe she was really giving Mu Qingge time to think, and she didn't come to Mu Qingge for a day. The entire cold palace was quiet all day, and such an atmosphere made Mu Qingge feel weird in his heart.
In the evening, when the meal was delivered, Dongyu and Dongxue were called away by a little eunuch, saying that they were looking for a cold girl. Mu Qingge was slightly stunned. Isn't Qing Leng assigned tasks to the two of them every night? Why is there such a hurry today. Can't wait for the night? Could it be that something is wrong?
It was already completely dark, and neither the winter rain nor the winter snow had returned. Mu Qingge felt a faint trace of uneasiness in his heart, and suddenly thought of what Miss Chen said, and thought unconsciously. Isn't it actually something to think about?
I'm going out of my mind. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door. It should be that Winter Rain and Winter Snow are back, right? Mu Qingge stood up and went to the door. When he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped.
Then, Mu Qingge began to retreat cautiously. The knock on the door sounded again, and Mu Qingge spoke: "The door is not closed, you can come in by yourself......"
Mu Qingge had already retreated to the table, and the wooden door was pushed open suddenly, and then Mu Qingge saw a white light slashing towards him. Quickly threw the food box on the table with a low white light, and after a "click" sound, the food box was split into two pieces and scattered on the ground.
The person who came in seemed a little surprised, and let out a soft "huh". But he didn't stop, and raised the knife in his hand towards Mu Qingge again.
"Wait!" Mu Qingge shouted, very imposing.
probably didn't expect that Mu Qingge still had such momentum in this situation, and the person with the knife was stunned for a moment, and he really put away the knife temporarily.
Mu Qingge only saw clearly at this time that this uninvited guest who broke in was actually a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, looking at her dress, she didn't look like a palace maid in the palace. Moreover, Mu Qingge was very sure that he didn't know this girl.
"Who are you?" Mu Qingge asked a question that almost everyone couldn't help but ask when they encountered such a situation.
"Haha......" The girl suddenly smiled, as if she was a little disdainful, "It turns out that Miss Fifteen is no different from ordinary people, I thought you could ask a different question?" Not really. โ
Miss Fifteen? Mu Qingge's heart moved, this title is rarely heard by her in the palace. Coupled with this girl's dress, Mu Qingge is almost certain that this killer is definitely not from the palace. So, outside the palace, who wants to put themselves to death? Can you still get the killer to the cold palace to carry out the black hand? This person is not simple.
"Really? Then I'll ask something different, but do you dare to answer? Mu Qingge suddenly smiled and said to the girl.
Surprised by Mu Qingge's attitude again, the girl thought for a while and said, "Miss Fifteen won't ask me, why did I kill you?" Who asked me to come? Sorry, no comment......"
After that, he smiled proudly.
"How can this be a different question?" Mu Qingge's face remained unchanged, and he said slowly, "I just want to ask, why haven't I seen you in Mu Mansion?" โ
"I've been secretly ......" the killer wolf bรจi shut up, his face ugly.
Mu Qingge just looked at her and smiled, and was not in a hurry to ask.
On the contrary, the killer couldn't hold his breath and asked, "How did Miss Fifteen know?" โ
"It's very simple, first, I don't have many enemies, and even fewer want me to die. Second, except for the people in Mufu, people outside rarely call me Miss Fifteen. Mu Qingge said lightly.
"Okay, I'll admit, Miss Fifteen is still a little different." The girl said with a cruel meaning, "But, I'm sorry, since you've guessed everything, I can't keep you." โ
"It's like I'm not sure you'll let it go." Mu Qingge snorted coldly, and didn't seem to pay much attention to the threat of the killer.
The girl had already raised the knife, but put it down again, and asked uncontrollably, "Are you really not afraid of death?" โ
"How can I say that I am not afraid of death? I'm scared to death. Mu Qingge still said lightly, "It's just that you think I will be so defenseless?" Didn't your master sue you, that I am a very treacherous man? โ
The girl was stunned for a moment, and it could be seen from her expression that her master had indeed said such a thing. Mu Qingge smiled bitterly in her heart, where did she have any precautions? There is nothing in this cold palace. The food is delivered temporarily every day. Moreover, Mu Qingge has always felt that Emperor Shang Jing should not be so quick to kill himself, so it is inevitable that he will be negligent, who knows that he has encountered such a thing.
To say that now is just to stall for time. Perhaps, the winter rain and winter snow will return? Although Mu Qingge also knew in his heart that this was unlikely. Winter Rain and Winter Snow are called away, and the killer is coming. To say that this is a coincidence, Mu Qingge really has to put a question mark. Since they called away the winter rain and winter snow. Naturally, they wouldn't have let them come back so early. Actually, it's possible. Dongyu and Dongxue are hiding in the yard now, peeking around, and when this killer solves himself, they will come back.
The killer was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled. Said: "My master did say it. Miss Fifteen is a very treacherous person. Many times he is obviously at a disadvantage, but he can scare his opponent away with a mouth. So. My master told me not to believe what Miss Fifteen said. โ
"Really? Then you can come over and try it now. Mu Qingge's expression still hasn't changed much, and he looks like he invited you to come.
The killer girl was stunned for a few seconds, but she still made up her mind and raised her knife again at Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge was just about to move, but suddenly his eyes turned, and he stood still again.
The killer saw that Mu Qingge did not dodge at all, and it was inevitable that he was strange in his heart, always worried that Mu Qingge would have other conspiracy, so the knife in his hand paused. At that moment, a rock flew over and hit the killer girl's knee.
Caught off guard at this moment, the killer girl was staggered by this vigorous force, retreated a few steps, and the knife in her hand was naturally crooked. Before she could stand firm, a smaller figure burst in through the window and kicked the killer girl in the hind leg. The girl was unsteady on her feet, and fell to the ground at once.
Later, the figure was unforgiving, and as soon as he dodged the killer's arrival, he slashed at the killer's neck.
"Don't ......" Mu Qingge only had time to make a sound, he had already seen the splash of blood, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
"What? At this time, are you still feeling sorry for others? A playful voice sounded from the doorway, "Do you still want to keep her and wait for her to kill you?" โ
Mu Qingge looked at Miss Chen who walked in from the door, and then looked at Xiao Fu, who had quickly run to Miss Chen's side, still holding a bloody long knife in his hand, and his throat was instantly stuck: "I'm just ......"
"You just think you shouldn't kill someone?" Miss Chen didn't give Mu Qingge a chance to explain, and continued to sarcastically, "If you don't kill her, she will kill you." โ
Mu Qingge understood that what Miss Chen said was very reasonable, in fact, in this society, killing someone, especially people like them who are "in the upper echelons of society", is really not a big deal. Moreover, Mu Qingge has also been on the battlefield, and he has seen a lot of murder scenes, and he was a surgeon before, and he has seen people who have died in various ways. However, perhaps because of these, Mu Qingge always has a sense of awe for life in his heart. If she could, she wouldn't want to see a life pass before her eyes.
However, no matter what, this time it was Miss Chen and Xiaofu who saved themselves. If it weren't for them, he might have really died at the hands of this killer. Mu Qingge felt that it would be too hypocritical for him to discuss the topic of reverence for life with Miss Chen at this time.
"I didn't mean anything else, thank you for saving me." Mu Qingge thanked him very sincerely.
Seeing that Mu Qingge was so easily persuaded, Miss Chen was very surprised: "What? A 'kind-hearted' lady like you, shouldn't you persuade me not to kill people casually at this time? โ
Listening to this, it was as if she had been persuaded like this before. Mu Qingge felt funny and said, "Miss Chen misunderstood, I actually just wanted to say, don't kill her so quickly, at least let me ask, who wants to kill me?" โ
After saying this, Mu Qingge's heart suddenly moved, and he always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Miss Chen's words just now. There is some important information that I have ignored, but at this time I think about it seriously, but I can't remember what it is, and I can't help but feel a little depressed.
"Don't you already know who it is?" Miss Chen was a little surprised, it seemed that when the killer came just now, Miss Chen had already arrived.
"I'm not sure yet." Everyone was already dead, and Mu Qingge didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so he changed the topic and said, "Now, what is this person going to do?" โ
In the same room with a dead man. Mu Qingge still felt a little infiltrating.
"You're really not sure who's trying to kill you?" Miss Chen suddenly asked very seriously.
Mu Qingge also thought about it seriously, although Mu Qingyao was the most suspicious. However, Qing Leng is the emperor's person, Mu Qingyao and Qing Leng should not have any collusion, so it is really hard to say who the person who wants to kill him is.
Mu Qingge shook her head, she wasn't sure.
"Okay, I'll do you another favor." Miss Chen suddenly smiled and said to Xiaofu, "Xiaofu, do it......"
Xiaofu seemed to be very hesitant, and didn't want to move, so he didn't move, and called Miss Chen: "Girl......"
"Hurry up!" Miss Chen shouted involuntarily, then pulled Mu Qingge out of the door, turned around and said to Xiaofu, "You are faster, don't show your stuffing......"
"What the hell did you ask Xiaofu to do?" After Mu Qingge walked out of the door, he finally couldn't help but ask curiously.
"You still don't want to know." Miss Chen smiled incomprehensibly, "It will frighten children." โ
Mu Qingge wanted to say that he was not a child, but when he saw Miss Chen's expression, he didn't say anything.
"Thank you so much." Mu Qingge thanked him gratefully, "If it weren't for you today, I would have died." โ
"Not necessarily, right?" Miss Chen glanced at Mu Qingge, "Aren't you ready to take action before Xiaofu makes a move?" I feel like we're doing us a disservice. โ
Mu Qingge was stunned, she didn't expect Miss Chen's eyes to be so powerful, and she actually saw her little movements. didn't hide it from Miss Chen, Mu Qingge said truthfully: "I'm ready to make a move, but I'm not very sure, if you don't make a move, half of me may die in the hands of that killer, half of them may restrain the killer, but I will be injured......"
"So accurate?" Miss Chen's eyes began to glow, "You don't know martial arts, what is the way to stop that killer?" โ
"Of course, I was suddenly brought to the cold palace, so I didn't have anything with me...... However, I've always had a few silver needles on me, and I can fight that killer for a while......"
Miss Chen understood that Mu Qingge was talking about acupuncture points, and the acupuncture points on the human body were very strange, and in some places, just a silver needle was enough to kill, so Mu Qingge didn't lie. It's just that in that case, as Mu Qingge said, even if she can control the killer, she will definitely be injured herself.
"Awesome!" Miss Chen clapped her hands with an envious expression, "It's a pity that I couldn't see it...... However, fortunately, I let Xiaofu make a move. โ
Hearing a little contradictory, Mu Qingge couldn't help but ask, "Why?" โ
"Because...... I don't want you ......to die yet," Miss Chen said, "Your method just now is really too risky." โ
"Why don't you want me to die?" Mu Qingge followed Miss Chen's words and asked, she wanted to ask before, why did Miss Chen save herself? There are only a few of them in this courtyard, isn't she afraid that she will save herself, and the people behind the scenes will settle accounts with them?
Moreover, from the actions just now, it can be seen that Xiaofu knows some martial arts, although it is not very powerful. Judging from his actions on weekdays, Xiaofu is also trying his best to cover up the fact that he knows martial arts. But as soon as he made such a move, Xiaofu was exposed, why did Miss Chen do this? ใ
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? I hope you'll do me a little favor. Miss Chen said unhurriedly.
Sure enough, it was still yesterday, and it seems that Miss Chen is indeed a very important thing to help herself. Mu Qingge thought for a while, and said very seriously: "If you can trust me, Miss Chen, you can sue me directly, what do you want me to help you with?" If I can help, I'll do my best. After all, if you saved me today, it was a lifesaver for me. But if it does make it difficult for me, I'm sorry, even if you save me, I won't help you. โ
"Refreshing!" I don't know if these words are right to Miss Chen's appetite, the smile on Miss Chen's face deepened, and she said, "I said it, I will definitely not embarrass you." โ
"So what do you want me to do?" Mu Qingge couldn't help but ask again. (To be continued......)
