Chapter 31: Clamping
After making a detailed plan, the time also arrived on the 27th, the eve of the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
When it came to the end, Xu Ruliang was no longer nervous, read a few pages of the book, and rested early. There are a few hard battles to fight tomorrow, and you have to keep your spirits up.
I couldn't sleep for a while.
Looking back on the urgency of longing to enter the palace in the past few days, I felt irony - the place she wanted to avoid the most was actually the place she was most familiar with, her home field.
In her previous life, she only lived in the Pingyang Palace for eight years, but she lived in the palace for ten years......
Has the palace been restored to its original appearance ten years ago?
After thinking about it for a while, I finally fell asleep and fell asleep.
At this time, the third house in the east wall of the palace was still lit, and a thin silhouette fell on the window.
Mu Lianxuan stared at the intelligence expressionlessly.
Wing Chun, pretending to be a god, selling;
Singing snow, playing ghosts, selling;
sigh late, drugged, cane death;
β¦β¦
There are so many tricks!
The handsome face was as deep as water, and the center of his eyebrows were furrowed.
The pinna of the ear moved, and his expression suddenly turned sharp, but he quickly stretched his brow again. He put away the letterhead, snuffed out the wick, and rolled over to lie on the bed.
After a long time, the door was silently pushed open.
A black shadow flashed into the room, came to the bed, put down a burden, and quietly retreated.
The person on the bed sat up suddenly, "Your Excellency has given you a gift, why don't you stay for a drink?" β
The black shadow froze in his footsteps, and then quickly ran out of the house.
Mu Lianxuan got up and chased out the door.
The black shadow has already flown out of the courtyard door.
Want to escape?
Mu Lianxuan narrowed his eyes and calmly walked towards the second house next door.
Within the east wall, there are five adjoining houses for the minor princes.
The third house is inhabited by the three princes, and it is conceivable that the second room is inhabited by the second prince.
The first room was empty - the eldest prince of this dynasty lived only a few days after his birth. As for the other two, they have always been empty - there are only two princes in this dynasty, the second prince Mu Lianyi and the third prince Mu Lianxuan.
In the same situation as the third house, the second house was also darkened.
Mu Lianxuan entered the room and sat down casually.
After a little shorter time, the door was pushed open again.
The dim moonlight poured in, pulling the figure at the door extremely slender, and the face of the person could not be seen clearly in the backlight.
The visitor quickly dodged into the house, and quickly turned around and closed the door.
A qiΔ is so smooth that it seems to have been rehearsed countless times.
The person who came took a long breath and muttered in a low voice: "Dead third, don't sleep in the middle of the night......" The voice did not fall, his back stiffened suddenly, there was someone in the room!
Mu Lianxuan smiled: "What is the second emperor's brother dissatisfied with me?" β
"The third? What a rare guest, rare guest, why did you think of coming to me to sit here tonight? When did it come? The doctor told me that it was best to go out for a walk before going to bed, I just went out for a walk, why didn't you ask someone to look for me when you came? The people who came were chatting with each other and lighting the oil lamps with a fire.
The interior is brightly lit.
The warm light illuminated a face that was seven or eight points imaginary with Mu Lianxuan.
Just slightly pale.
This is the host of this house, the second prince Mu Lianyi, the famous sick seedling of Dazhao.
Mu Lianxuan pointed out: "As the saying goes, 'I can't pass the mountain'." Just now I asked the second emperor brother to stay for a drink in my room, but the second emperor brother ignored me, so I had to come to the second emperor's brother's house. β
"Again, again!" Mu Lianyi seemed to be extremely impatient: "You don't know that I have been weak and sick since I was a child, I haven't been to school for a day, I don't know a single big word, what is the poetry cloud, the proverb Yaya, I don't understand it for my brother." β
Pretend to be crazy and stupid, avoid the important and light, and change the subject!
Mu Lianxuan didn't talk nonsense with him, got up straight and walked out, "I'm waiting for you at the Sanle Pavilion." β
Mu Lianyi was dumbfounded. He's the brother, okay? The stinky boy dares to talk to his brother like this, looking for death!
After all, I followed the Sanle Pavilion.
At the rear of the five houses is a garden with a meandering water. Located in the northeast corner of the garden, the Sanle Pavilion is a small pavilion with a warped cornice. Standing on the top of the pavilion, you can overlook the entire east corner of the palace, and the view is very good.
Mu Lianyi came for the first time.
Mu Lianxuan used to come often.
Naturally, I saw a lot of things from here that others couldn't see.
For example, a certain prince who was "so sick and weak that he didn't even have the strength to go to the study to study" was walking in the patio and driving wooden stakes......
I don't know how many times I have drunk, but the atmosphere is still not hot, and the people are still not drunk.
After pouring the last drop of wine in the altar, Mu Lianxuan threw it hardβas if he wanted to use this throw to vent some inexplicable feelings.
The jar slid in an arc in the night sky and finally fell into the water, only to hear a muffled "coo-dong".
After that, there was no movement.
In the late spring night, it was lonely again.
Someone was stunned: "A big hateful thing in life, a large number of people drink it." β
Because no one is drunk, he will never drink and spit out the truth, and he will never hear the truth after drinking.
Mu Lianyi exhaled: "Third child, don't be like this. β
The expression is solemn, and he is cynical when he changes.
Mu Lianxuan turned his head to look at him, "Is there a soft hedgehog armor in the baggage?" β
Soft hedgehog armor, black iron gold armor, full of barbs, invulnerable, fire oil invulnerable. As the top three armor in the list of soldiers, it is a defensive treasure that everyone is vying for. It is rumored to have fallen into the hands of the Cao Gang decades ago.
However, when the imperial court encircled and suppressed the Cao Gang, the daughter of the Cao Gang leader, the "Hundred Flowers Lady", disappeared together.
The rivers and lakes are known as the Hundred Flowers Lady "ever-changing, spicy hands and children's face", and the one-handed face change technique makes it fascinating. No one could find her, and even if they did, they wouldn't recognize her.
So since then, the Hundred Flowers Lady and the Soft Hedgehog Armor have been nowhere to be found.
But he didn't expect that the soft hedgehog armor was in the hands of the second prince of the Heavenly Family.
Mu Lianyi hummed lightly, "Imperial Grandmother's relics." β
Mu Lianxuan was slightly surprised.
No wonder I couldn't find it no matter how I checked it before, because I never thought of the late Queen Mother Yan!
Empress Dowager Yan is Yan Ming's aunt.
However, Empress Dowager Yan should not be a lady of a hundred flowers - the Yan family married into the royal family first, and the imperial court encircled and suppressed the Cao Gang behind. If Empress Dowager Yan is a lady of a hundred flowers, wouldn't she hate the court to death? How could he assist his father to ascend the throne?
Moreover, although the old man is not the biological mother of Emperor Yonghe, he loves his two grandchildren very much.
It is a fact that he especially prefers Mu Lianyi.
After Mu Lianyi's mother Yang Meiren passed away, Empress Dowager Yan came forward to take him to the Empress Dowager's dormitory, Cining Hall to raise him.
When the prince is six or seven years old and should go to school, he will move to the prince's house. Because he was "frail and sickly", Empress Dowager Yan kept him by her side to take care of her until she died.
"All relics are gone".
Mu Lianxuan lay down on his back, his palms folded on his head, looking up at the starry sky, and a trace of an obscure smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "The imperial grandmother loved you when she was alive, and the relics of her old man, the second imperial brother should cherish and cherish them." β
"Congratulations on your birthday." Mu Lianyi lay down with him, wanting to speak and stopping, like a fish in his throat.
Mu Lianxuan didn't seem to notice his embarrassment, and sneered: "This year's birthday has just passed, and next year's birthday, don't you think the second emperor brother mentioned it too early?" And the year after tomorrow, the year after the big one, the year after the big one...... And, perhaps, by then, my birthday will be far more than a garment can be passed away. β
"Third child, don't say it." Mu Lianyi sat up sideways and sighed softly, "You know everything?" β
Know what?
Knowing that his father intends to incite the Southern Barbarians to invade the territory?
Or do you know that my father intends to send me to worship the commander?
Or do you know that you are plotting to make me your heir?
Mu Lianxuan hooked the corners of his mouth: "The second emperor brother has been guarding his father every inch these days, have you ever seen me?" What can I know? β
As the saying goes, "a long illness becomes a cure".
This time it was not that Mu Lianyi thought that he could heal, but that Emperor Yonghe strongly believed that he would become a doctor after a long illness, and he must have this son by his side to help him see a doctor. Father and son ate and lived together, and even the queen could not separate them.
Mu Lianxuan only visited Emperor Yonghe once at the beginning of his illness, but was blasted out, and then simply didn't go.
Mu Lianyi knew, so he suddenly became nervous, "Third ......"
"You want to live that kind of life, don't you?" Mu Lianxuan took over the conversation leisurely.
It's clearly just a plain tone, but it invisibly gives people a sense of coercion. As if to declare that the authority to win is firmly in his hands, those who follow the other will prosper, and those who oppose the other will perish.
Mu Lianyi was shocked.
Suddenly I didn't know this third emperor brother who lived next door at all.
Someone completely ignored the shocked look at by a man, and said slowly: "If you want to do whatever you want, you always have to pay a price." β
"How much do you want?"
"Three things."
Mu Lianyi took a heavy breath, "You say." β
"First, take off your mask. I'm not talking to someone with a fake face. β
"No way!"
