Mu Qin's heart was cold little by little, like frozen cold bones, like cold blood from falling frost, and there was an endless bone-chilling chill all over his body.

He remained silent.

"I see, then don't mention this matter again in the future!" the emperor ordered, and Hua Rongying breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Strangely, however, she was not as happy as she had originally thought.

Later, the emperor ordered the pothos to be buried, but no decision was made. The person most important to the Queen Mother is gone, and the emperor, as a filial son, must wait for the Queen Mother to wake up and make his own decisions.

Today's events were originally a good thing, but I didn't want such a thing to happen, and the Queen Mother's hard work could only be in vain.

The events of this day lingered in Hua Langying's mind. She knew that Jiang Wuxian did it. Only he has the illusion of being disguised as thunder and thunder, and only he has such a fast hand speed, and he can also pick up Mu Xiang who deliberately sprained his foot in time.

In other words, Mu Xiang is just a prop for his cover-up!

If Mu Xiang knew, what should he do? Hua Langying didn't dare to think about it.

After the Queen Mother woke up, she was immersed in mourning, and Hua Rongying naturally stayed in the palace to take care of the Queen Mother.

In the days when the queen mother was restless, all the concubines and princesses of the harem had to come to visit and serve the decoction.

It stands to reason that there are always people coming to visit every day, but it is not a coincidence that Ling Yi Niangniang, Li Shufei and Chen Guifei came successively that day.

The first to arrive was Concubine Li Shu, who saw that Hua Langying was busy going in and out, and naturally there were many dissatisfactions in her heart. is obviously an unrelated person, but he is so favored by the Queen Mother. However, his son Mu Xiao and daughter-in-law Liu Suyi couldn't get into the eyes of the Queen Mother at all.

Concubine Li Shufei ignored the etiquette of Hua Langying, and hurriedly walked in. She came to the Queen Mother's bed, and after Hua Rongying followed in, she smiled contemptuously.

"It's really a coincidence that the county gentleman has been coaxing the queen mother inside and outside here, what a great ability!"

Hua Rongying frowned coldly, this concubine is quite smart and sharp on weekdays, why did she change her appearance today? Could it be that she wants to take the opportunity to teach herself a lesson today?

sneered in her heart, but Hua Rongying said, "Niangniang praised it." Won the favor of the Queen Mother, and it is a blessing to relieve worries for several lifetimes. But among them, it is only because the Queen Mother is pitiful and cares that she is so careless. Speaking of love, where do you remember all the princes and princesses?"

Concubine Li Shufei listened, but she didn't ease up at all, she quietly took out a handkerchief to cover her nose, and dispersed the smell of medicine around her: "It's really sharp." In that case, you will go and boil the medicine for the main palace. Remember, it should be boiled slowly, otherwise the medicinal taste will not be enough. ”

Hua Rongying's heart suddenly became angry, but the smile on her face was even more obvious: "Niangniang, the queen mother has not yet reached the time for medicine, and the imperial doctor said that she can only take medicine in the evening." ”

Concubine Li was in a hurry to punish Hua Rongying, but she forgot the most basic one, which was undoubtedly a joke.

Concubine Li realized this, became angry, and stood up: "You dare to contradict this palace!"

Stretched out his hand and was about to slap over, when a shout from outside the door stopped: "Stop!"

When Hua Langying saw it clearly, he knew that the person who came was Ling Yi Niangniang.

For some reason, I always feel that she has been looking good lately, and it seems that she is happy to be at the beginning.

The arrival of Ling Yi Niangniang was simply adding fuel to the fire for Concubine Li Shu. In this anger, Ling Yi Niangniang, who was originally at odds with Concubine Li Shu, made Concubine Li even more angry.

"Yo, what is my sister doing with these teeth and claws? Don't disturb the Queen Mother. Ling Yi Niangniang bypassed Concubine Li Shu's side, walked to the Queen Mother's bed, covered the Queen Mother with the quilt, and walked over again.

She and Concubine Li looked at each other, and smiled again: "Sister, isn't she angry with the county monarch because of the newcomer's bedtime? If I were a sister, I would save this effort to please the emperor. ”

"Sister, what do you mean by this? The newcomer was recommended by you, could it be that you want us to fight for your life? Then I doubt my sister's intentions. Concubine Li was not to be outdone, and ridiculed each other.

Ling Yi Niangniang was also on fire, she was not a wise and thoughtful person in the first place, and she was even more angry when she was provoked like this.

"The newcomer is young and beautiful, even if your sister has a lot of charm in the past, it is not as beautiful as she is today. I'm afraid I'll hurt my sister in the future. Ling Yi Niangniang became more and more unabashed.

Hua Rongying secretly sweated for her in her heart, and it was too easy for people to grasp the handle when she spoke like this.

Concubine Li Shu glanced at her and said lightly: "Don't say that the newcomer has not yet gone to bed, even if he has been sealed, and the time in the palace is still long, where do you know which is better and which is bad?"

That pride and self-confidence seemed to be contemptuous of Ling Yi Niangniang in front of her, after all, no matter how you say it, Concubine Li Shu is one level higher than her.

Just when Ling Yi Niangniang was unconvinced and wanted to talk back, Chen Guifei walked in.

"I heard the two of you arguing from afar, if you disturb the Queen Mother, wouldn't it be a mistake?" Chen Guifei has always had a good temper, but now she has become extremely serious.

Concubine Li Shufei and Ling Yi Niangniang had to bow their heads and listen to the teachings.

After Chen Guifei took a seat, the other two people also hurriedly found their seats and sat down.

"The two younger sisters are both old men in the palace, and they are both valued by the emperor and the queen mother. You should be a good example, if you have any differences, you have to show your example, and you must not become a laughing stock!" Chen Guifei said this reasonably, on the surface she was saying good things, but it was inevitable that she was a little accusatory.

The two of them were convinced, and Ling Yi Niangniang poured a cup of tea for Chen Guifei and Li Shufei, and said, "The two sisters are right, and the younger sister remembers." ”

But in her heart, she still disdains it. After tonight, after the newcomer's cousin goes to bed, once she is favored, she will overpower Concubine Li!

And Concubine Li Shufei on the side saw that she was secretly happy in her heart, and she also understood a little, and responded with her face.

Several concubines sat for a long time, but when it was close to the time for the Queen Mother to take medicine, none of them stayed to serve soup and feed the medicine.

In the evening, Hua Langying served the Queen Mother to drink medicinal food as usual, and recently, the Queen Mother always slept very deeply, and she was only awake when she drank medicinal food.

She suddenly raised her godless eyes and looked at the shadow of the flowers: "Solve your worries, today in a daze, the mourning family heard that Ling Yi is going to recommend a newcomer to the emperor?"

Hua Langying was shocked in her heart: The Queen Mother is ......

Seeing her hesitation, the Queen Mother explained: "Oh, although the mourning family sleeps a lot, they are always confused. I can also hear a thing or two. ”

Hua Rongying relaxed slightly, and the cloth vegetable movements in his hands were still as smooth and flexible as ever.

"Listening to the words of several mothers, it seems that this is indeed the case. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she sighed deeply, she stopped the dishes that came over from the flower and shadow, and there was infinite reverie in her eyes.

The mourning family knows that the emperor has snubbed Ling Yi and Jun'er's mother and son over the years, but now Ling Yi's move is too reckless. It's best if someone helps you in the harem, but if a woman is for the same man, it's unpredictable!"

The Queen Mother is a person from the palace, and the reason why she sighed from this must have experienced many such things before. But with Ling Yi Niangniang's thoughts, where can she take care of so much?

Indeed, even if they are sisters, if they serve a husband, they will inevitably feel disgusted. Except for Empress E, there have never been such examples in the palaces of all dynasties. Feiyan Hede is certainly a sister flower, but in the end, isn't it also disgusting?

Hua Rongying also understood this in her heart, she didn't say anything, only said: "Queen Mother, you are not feeling well now, why do you still care about the rest? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, I am afraid that you will have to worry." ”

After the Queen Mother heard this, she didn't say anything, she held Hua Rongying's hand and smiled with relief on her face.

Yes, compared to Mu Qin, what are the others?

The Queen Mother couldn't help nodding, and then she said: "Help the mourning family to rest, tired." ”

After settling her down, Flower Shadow did as she said, and then removed all her meals.

At night, the moonlight is faint, with a slight coldness, like the tired face of flowers and shadows.

When she returned to the East Palace, Mu Qin was drinking alone, motionless like a statue. The broken hair that drooped fluttered wantonly in the wind, like a thin willow flying freely.

As soon as Hua Rongying walked in, he took off the cloak on his body, patted the dampness on his head, handed it to the palace maid next to him, and closed the door.

"On such a cold day, why does His Highness still wear so little?"

Hua Langying walked to his side, took a sword and draped it over him, and put his hand on the stove and rubbed it continuously.

Hua Langying snatched his wine, and took a sip in a muffled voice, but he was choked and coughed violently.

Mu Qin hurriedly patted her on the back, and she got better later.

"Hey, cold?" Hua Rongying was remorseful and surprised, and she looked at Mu Qin incredulously with a wine jug.

Mu Qin saw her like this and smiled, like a cold moon and clear frost, like a willow and water.

"In the winter, I always drink cold wine and take cold showers for many years. Grandmother said that this can hone the will, the forbearance of the supreme king. Mu Qin's eyes were dyed with sadness, like thick ink that could not be dissolved.

Hua Rongying's heart suddenly ached, what has he experienced since he was a child to the present?

She couldn't think about it much, and the next moment, Hua Langying subconsciously placed the wine jar in her hand on the hollow iron frame of the stove, looked at the jumping flames, and bit her lip.

"No one has ever warmed up a bar for you?" said him, raising his eyes full of pity and distress, and looked at the man in front of him.

Mu Qin's breath was filled with the hot aroma of wine, and he seemed to have indulged in such eyes, his throat moved, and a bitter and hoarse voice spit out two words: "No." ”

Then, Mu Qin's big palm grabbed her jaw in the next second, and with the gentle rubbing of his fingertips little by little, Mu Qin looked at her selflessly. Then, a hot kiss struck. Suddenly, Hua Rongying was kissed by him, and her eyes and ears were hot, and she forgot to resist.

Immediately afterward, Hua Rongying wrapped her backhand around his neck and slowly let him kiss him.

The numbness at the bottom of the heart is expanding more and more, passing through every nerve and blood vessel and reaching the heart. She was already numb and weak.

I don't know how long it took for Mu Qin to slowly let her go, looking at her with beautiful eyes, he also blushed.

Neither of them spoke, just quietly, letting time flow through their hearts, little by little, itchy, leaving a mark on their hearts.
