Bloody Rain and Bloody Night in the Capital (3)
Today's emperor is no longer the son of the imperial concubine who looked for everything The current emperor is the king of a country, the real king of a country, now he is a powerful and really strong man, now he has full wings, no longer controlled by her and the people of the Mu family, and even more The emperor has begun to suppress and privately attack the Mu family in the court, and now the Mu family power has been suppressed by about fifty percent, and the next emperor means to let the fifth Zhao Qianxin inherit the unification, if the emperor's decision cannot be changed, If you want to keep the prosperity of the Mu family, then you can only let Zhao Qianxin take the daughter of the Mu family as a concubine, otherwise the end of the family may be miserable in the future, which she does not want to see and cannot bear.
"Your Majesty, the mourning family came today to discuss with the emperor." The Queen Mother flashed a pair of shrewd old eyes, and she was dressed in a palace dress of the Queen Mother, showing her graceful and luxurious persona, and her demeanor was thousands.
"Queen Mother, if there is anything to say, our mother and son don't need to come to those vain heads." The emperor fanned his eyes, and his face was puzzled.
"Since the emperor said so, then the mourning family will not beat around the bush, that is, it is an unavoidable fact that Prince Gong wants to marry Liu Yuxin, so please ask the emperor to make another holy decree for King Gong and Mu Fu's second daughter Mu Qingcheng to achieve a hundred years of good, the two daughters marry on the same day, regardless of size, as long as they get along with Yu and serve Zhao Qianxin, the emperor, do you think it is good?" The Queen Mother's face was eager and eager, and even her words were said very carefully, without her usual arrogance and toughness.
"Queen Mother, as for what I said, I can't make my own decisions. I have to get Xin'er's permission. to give him an order. Xin'er is a child who has no desires, and I don't want to force him on this matter. The emperor's face was uncompromising, and he did not give in because of the queen mother's superiority.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Mu Tingcheng wore her favorite pink and white embroidered lily double-branched flower wide-sleeved narrow-waisted palace skirt when she entered the Shoukang Palace with her maid, her slim posture was exquisite, her dark hair was half-pulled and her clothes were windy, and her big black eyes were lined with bright and bright lights. The fierce aura in the day is gone, and at this moment, it is the third lady of the beautiful and moving Mu Mansion. As soon as he turned a corner, a figure collided with him. There was a crisp sound of "clang", and a strong force struck, Mu Qingcheng only felt that his waist was hot, as if he was burned by the fire, and the part of his waist was burning with a burning pain, and he took a few steps back to stand firm. But at this moment, I only felt that my body was tight as if I had been pulled by something, and the pain was unbearably tight.
"Slaves should be damned!" The teacup fell to the ground. Seeing the large wet stains on his waist and chest, Mu Tingcheng's eyes were a little angry. When I raised my eyelashes, I saw that a palace maid in a green dress with narrow sleeves was kneeling on the ground, trembling and terrified, as if she was extremely scared.
"Bold! Do you know that the person in front of you is the third lady of Mufu, the county lord of Mufu City! ”
The maid behind him shouted, and the palace maid was even more frightened and knelt down and kowtowed, Mu Qingcheng frowned, and looked back at one of the maids, "Don't get angry yet, the lord of this county has to change his clothes, and the hour is not early." ”
The two maids behind Mu Qingcheng frowned, and the palace man kneeling on the ground said in a trembling voice, "It's all slaves and maids who should die, the banquet will start soon, why don't you ask which sister to go back to get clothes for the county lord first, the slave maid temporarily takes the princess to find a place to rest first, and then go to the main hall after changing her clothes, and beg the county lord to spare her life!" Spare the slave and maid. Looking at the frightened appearance of the little palace maid, Mu Qingcheng looked at the person behind him.
"Do as she says, go get a new dress for the county, hurry!" Mu Qingcheng's pretty face was frosty, but he was not in the mood to deal with a little palace maid at this time.
The maid replied, and Mu Chengcheng turned around again, "Get up, take the county lord to find a no-man's land." ”
Although it was night, but under the bright light, you can still see a large dark wet stain in front of the pink and white placket, the little palace maid got up with a thousand thanks, but still didn't dare to look up at her, only raised her hand and asked, "The county lord is here, the queen mother and the ladies are now in the front hall, and the county lord first follows the slave maid to the east hall to avoid it." ”
Mu Qingcheng heard that he had him, and followed the little palace maid towards the place where the lights were not so bright.
When Zhao Mingxuan's Wang Yuan arrived in front of the gate of Shoukang Palace, he only brought the wind and the two of him into the palace gate, and he never brought more guards every time he entered the Shoukang Palace, generally the wind or the sword, as soon as he entered the door, it was a dazzling colorful light, the Queen Mother did not go out these days, this Shoukang Palace has not been as lively as today for many days, his eyes were slightly relaxed, and he strode towards the front hall from the main road.
As soon as he took two steps, a figure suddenly flashed around the corner of the corridor not far from the left front, and he was very familiar with the jade-white palace skirt, although it was only for a moment, he was still recognized by him at a glance, his brows frowned, he turned around and followed, at this time she should be by Liu Shulan and Liu's side, how could she run over there alone?
Zhao Mingxuan's footsteps were slightly faster, and when he walked through the corridor, he happened to see the back disappearing behind a rockery, Zhao Mingxuan's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he looked at the dim palace not far away, the corners of his lips couldn't help but sink slightly, what trick is she going to play tonight......
Follow the figure for a while, just turn a corner and see that the slender figure is actually pushing open the door of the east hall, there is no one living in this hall, and there is no one to guard it at ordinary times, the figure flashed away, the door of the temple was closed, he couldn't see anything, his eyes were half-narrowed, he walked over, Liu Yuxin, this king wants to see what fun you have tonight, and you have made it so mysterious, without caring about personal safety.
The hall was dark, Zhao Mingxuan only heard a slight wheezing sound in the room when he walked to the door, the dark light in his eyes flashed, and he did not hesitate to push open the half-hidden door, the room could not see the five fingers, Zhao Mingxuan walked a few steps inside, a long sandalwood fragrance lingered at the end of his nose, this is the place where the Queen Mother used to worship Buddha, it is not strange to have this smell, you can only see the simple and noble furnishings in the room, and the slightly depressed breath is coming from the innermost, he walked in a few steps with narrow eyes, On the bed against the wall lay a slender figure. The corners of the lips are slightly pursed. He strode up. Lift the bed!
When the face that was not Liu Yuxin came into view, Zhao Mingxuan almost immediately knew that tonight's incident was not accidental, and was about to turn around and leave, his heart jumped up and down somehow, and the feeling of dryness and heat suddenly rose all over his body, and an evil fire rose under his lower abdomen, and his fists were slightly clenched, and his steps had not moved. There was a loud and fast sound of footsteps outside the hall!
"Captain of the Guard, right here!"
"This is the maid of the county lord of Mu Chengcheng, how could she fall here?!"
"Come on, fence this place for Ben Jiang, Ben will personally go to the Empress Dowager to deal with it-"
Not far away, the masters of the fragrant sideburns are exclaiming in the east hall, separated by more than ten zhang of verdant flowers and trees, her slender figure is hidden in the darkness, seeing that scene, she seems to be very surprised, half a moment. Seeing that she turned to leave, he grabbed her waist with a large hand. "Xin'er, this king can find you every time-"
The opening is a low and hoarse that makes people think about it, Zhao Mingxuan's waist is unbearable, her delicate body is even more fragrant, the evil fire under the lower abdomen is rising, and the whole body seems to be about to catch the general heat and discomfort, feeling the sudden tightness and stiffness of the person in his arms, the corners of Zhao Mingxuan's lips suddenly sank, today is qiē, is it all because of her?!
Thinking of this in his heart, he lowered his head and grabbed her ear, he wanted to bite her hard to vent his anger in his chest, who knew that as soon as his lips and teeth touched the soft Yingfu, he even made his lips numb, and subconsciously licked and bitten, the itchy heat that made him uncomfortable seemed to have found a breakthrough, and the person in his arms trembled suddenly, Zhao Mingxuan suddenly came back to his senses, and turned her violently between his hands to reach the cold wall under the darkness, and he looked at her with narrow eyes. The dark blue eyes flashed, and the beast-like light seemed to want to eat her alive, Yu Xin only felt that the left ear that he had bitten was like a fuse burning half of her body, his body had always been cold, but at the moment it was as hot as fire, listening to his low and hoarse voice, Yu Xin didn't know what was going on?
Seeing that there were already figures in the east hall slowly walking out and the search for the palace was about to begin, Yu Xin stared at his terrifying eyes but was not afraid, she didn't have time to talk to him!
"-Let's go!"
He has two points of rampage and uncontrollable brute force, she grabbed his wrist and walked along the dimly lit path to the front hall of Shoukang Palace, her steps were extremely fast, she didn't say a word, she was more calm and calm than usual, even if she was slender and weak at this time, she had an extraordinary calming effect, Zhao Mingzhu looked at her back, her eyes were very heavy.
"When you enter the palace, you will definitely be seen, and if you disappear plainly, it will be suspicious!"
A quick and quick sentence settled, seeing that the brightly lit front hall was in sight, Zhao Mingxuan pulled her suddenly, Yuxin suddenly turned around, and Yingzong had a distress in his eyes, "Out of the palace......"
Yu Xin was stunned, "If Mu Qingcheng has inappropriate words later, the prince will be speechless!" ”
"And then? Are you worried about this king, Xin'er or you feel sorry for me. ”
Even if the room was a little dim at some distance, Yu Xin knew that he must have raised his eyebrows, and the corners of her lips pursed slightly, "Since the Queen Mother and the Queen have set up such a bureau, does the prince think that there will be no one waiting for you to go out outside this Shoukang Palace?" ”
Zhao Zhixuan was silent, Yu Xin didn't say a word and took him to the front hall of the banquet, the brightly lit hall was very empty because of the departure of all the masters of the right people, Zhao Mingxuan thought that she was going to bring him into the front hall, but she didn't want the direction of her feet to change, avoiding the small door guarded by the palace people, and going from behind a rockery to the direction of the bedroom of the virtuous concubine Luo Xintong, Zhao Zhixuan looked at her and frowned deeply for a while.
"You'd better hold back for a while!" His eyes fell on the top of her head, she naturally knew that Zhao Mingxuan listened to her glance, but her eyes became more and more hot.
Luo Xintong had a banquet in the front hall, the dark apse was not lit, Yu Xin pushed open the door and let Zhao Mingxuan in, then turned around and left, Zhao Zhixuan subconsciously grabbed her, "Where are you going?" Aren't you going to detoxify me, Xin'er, do you want me to die like this, or do you think that I can come with the palace maid here Hu Lai, and then you won't be heartbroken? ”
"Will you?" Yu Xin glanced at him lightly. Then he put a fragrant pill in his mouth.
Zhao Mingxuan's eyes dimmed, Yu Xin had slipped off his wrist and walked out of the side door in an unknown direction, watching her slender back disappear into the darkness, Zhao Mingxuan looked at the door of the black hole tensely, and hesitated slightly. He walked in with his feet raised. He had always believed in her. He didn't know what he was waiting for here, her antidote? Or an unknown storm that could bring him down from his current position......
The tense search of the palace is underway, but no clues have been found after searching most of the Shoukang Palace.
The faces of the masters were extremely ugly, and the queen was even more cold and didn't know what she was thinking, everyone present looked at her gloomy face and didn't dare to speak, and after a while, Qian Cheng came back sweating profusely.
"Back to the Queen Mother, first I searched everywhere except your dormitory."
The queen's face was even darker, and her eyes glanced at the bed in the innermost room, which was surrounded by several imperial doctors around the tent. The fists were clenched but they didn't speak immediately, several mothers rarely saw such a scene, the princess had already turned pale, and the queen mother turned the Buddha beads in her hand with a strong thought, "The queen mother, there is one more thing in the end." ”
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?" ”
The guard commander knelt on the ground, hesitated for a moment and said, "When I searched the palace, several palace maids said that they saw Wang Wang enter Shoukang Palace. But at this time, the general has searched most of the palace, but he has not found the figure of the fifth prince......"
The Queen Mother's eyes sank fiercely. Seeing that the commander of the guards was a little fierce, the commander of the guards turned slightly pale, and he was forced to maintain Duanli's calm demeanor, only to hear the crown princess Mu Furong smile slightly, "Interesting, the fifth prince will not get lost in this palace, but the person came in but disappeared, we made such a big move, but I don't know if the person has left a long time ago." ”
As soon as Mu Furong's slightly domineering voice came out, the queen sank, slapped the case fiercely, and walked towards the door of the east hall, "Where else has not been found, the mourning family will search it in person, and the mourning family does not believe that this Shoukang Palace can make people come and go like no one!" Wait for the commander of the guard, go to the dormitory of the mourning family-"
The queen mother said that the commander of the guards immediately followed, the second prince Zhao Qianyi's lips pursed slightly, and his face seemed to be heavy, but his eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and several other people had deep thoughts in their eyes, thinking of the fifth prince Zhao Mingxuan, who had clearly entered the palace but did not see anyone, everyone's complexions were different, Zhao Qiancheng thoughtfully glanced back at the imperial doctor who was busy in the inner room, his eyes were slightly dark, and when he turned his head, everyone seemed to be covered with a mask so that he couldn't understand, but he vaguely knew, If his fifth brother is not in this Shoukang Palace tonight or is found out to be wrong by the palace search later, then he must be in big trouble!
A group of people went towards the queen mother's dormitory with a menacing attitude, the queen mother did not say to leave, no one dared to say goodbye first, not to mention that tonight's events are really weird, everyone wants to see how this turmoil will subside, seeing that the dormitory is getting closer and closer, and the hall is dark without a little light, everyone can't help but lift a heart.
If there is a qiē in this hall as usual, then there are too many possibilities for the five princes to disappear like this, but if there is someone in this hall, and he is still an unusual person, then tonight's drama will be much more exciting.
When the guard pushed open the door, everyone's breath was two minutes lighter, and the room was quiet, but the guard immediately noticed that something was wrong, he made a careful gesture to protect the queen mother, took out the flint and steel in his sleeve and lit the first palace lamp that entered the door, and it was in such a dim glimmer that everyone saw a person leaning on the couch near the window.
Zhao Mingxuan slept on the couch, there was nothing wrong with his body, the guards felt a little surprised when they saw this, and couldn't help but take a step back and let Lu come out, Xu is his movements were a little big, and the armor on his body shook to a frame, this movement suddenly woke up the people on the couch, and when he turned his head, he saw a large group of people standing at the door, Zhao Mingxuan stood up with a little surprise, and his eyes swept everyone indifferently and lowered his eyes, "How did the imperial grandmother be born here?" Can the party begin? ”
The Queen Mother saw that his eyes lit up first, and then asked, "Xiao Qi, when did you come here?" ”
Zhao Mingxuan's eyes were still dark blue, and he looked at them with some confusion as if he didn't understand why everyone was standing at the door, he looked at the sky outside, "About half an hour ago-"
The Queen Mother walked over to him, "We waited for you in front for a long time, but you didn't show up, and the mourning family thought you didn't come!" ”
Zhao Mingxuan raised his hand to help the Queen Mother sit on the couch, still a little puzzled, "Last night, I interrogated the criminal department all night, and took a few officials of the criminal department involved in the case, almost all night without closing my eyes, and this afternoon I never had idle, I came here and saw that it was still early, so I wanted to come here to be lazy, but I didn't want to sleep, grandmother and mother, how did you live here again?" ”
Zhao Qiancheng has been following the end of the team, seeing that the situation tonight is becoming more and more unfavorable to Zhao Qianxin, he almost thought that someone was going to harm Zhao Qianxin, but at this moment, seeing that he was resting here without any abnormality, that heart couldn't help but let go, and took two steps forward and said with a slight sigh, "Something happened to the county lord of Mu Chengcheng!" ”
Zhao Mingxuan instantly squinted his eyes, but Concubine Liu Shu came over in this room, "How can the prince sleep here, you said that you came here half an hour younger, I don't know if anyone has seen the prince?" The lord of the city suffered a grievance tonight, but I am afraid that he will not be good at resting, when the prince came here, I don't know if he saw any idle people? ”
There was an aggressive meaning in and out of the words, it was nothing more than suspecting Zhao Mingxuan of lying, the Queen Mother frowned when she heard this, but Zhao Mingxuan was stunned and shook his head, "Concubine Niangniang wants someone to testify?" It's a pity that there was no one here when this king came, I don't know what the lady lady meant, do you think that the accident of the county lord of Mu Chengcheng tonight is the means of this king? ”
Of course, Concubine Shu couldn't directly accuse, so she only smiled and said, "Just because everyone in this palace is suspicious tonight, and the prince came so late today and disappeared without saying anything, if you don't prove your innocence, even if this palace doesn't suspect it, others will suspect it." ”
Zhao Mingxuan turned his head to look at the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother glanced at him soothingly and was about to speak, but a voice suddenly remembered at the door, "The Queen Mother, the people have proved that the prince did go to the palace early to rest." ”
The calm words suddenly made everyone present slightly stunned, and Concubine Shu turned her eyes to see that it was a palace person, and she couldn't help but sneer, "And I don't know where to find the witness-"
Concubine Shu didn't know who it was, but the Queen Mother knew, seeing that there was a bowl of water in her hand with her eyes down, she nodded, "Come in." ”
Someone came into the door with a bowl of water, and stood still in front of the Queen Mother, everyone's eyes fell on this grandmother-like person, but no one knew who she was, the Queen Mother looked at her and smiled, "Let's talk about it?" ”
The person who came still lowered his head and looked very respectful, "Niangniang probably forgot that there is still a pair of medicine that has not been drunk tonight, the slave maid does not know that Niangniang has a banquet tonight, so it is still the usual time to fry the medicine and wait outside the palace, when the prince came, it was dark, and the slave and maid stood at the side door where the prince probably never saw it, and the slave and maid watched the prince enter the door." ”
The Queen Mother nodded at the visitor with great satisfaction, took the medicine in her hand and put it aside, and looked up at Concubine Liu Shu, "Concubine Shu, can you take it now?" ”
Concubine Shu smiled and bowed her head, but said in her mouth, "Naturally, there is nothing dissatisfied, but the words of the palace people are a little ......."
The appearance of wanting to speak suddenly made Lu frown, and her face turned cold, "She is not an ordinary palace person!" ”
The deep words made the faces of everyone present change, looking at this grandmother's eyes more and more curious, Zhao Mingxuan was very surprised by the visitor, but he didn't want the Queen Mother to say this-
The corners of the Queen Mother's lips curled coldly, and she looked at the grandmother and said, "You raise your head." ”
The grandmother was stunned, and then raised her head in the curious eyes of everyone, except for Zhao Chromian, even the emperor's complexion has changed greatly, even if he grows older, even if his face gets older, but the situation of the people present lives in the palace all the year round, and none of them can forget the face of the first grandmother beside the Empress Dowager Mu back then, this person in front of him is not only the most trustworthy person of Queen Su, but also the holy hand of Xinglin with superb medical skills, she saved the life of the Queen Mother!
- It's her!
- She was a man to die,
"Mu Sheng, please greet the masters."
Sheng Niang's calm blessed body, you don't need to look at it to feel the great changes on everyone's faces, she bent over and lowered her head, seemingly humble but the bent waist has a secret strength, so that everyone is speechless for a while, the Queen Mother looked at the concubine with satisfaction and was stunned on the ground, and smiled, "The disease of the mourning family can only be cured by Sheng Niang, from now on she is the person in the mourning palace, if you old acquaintances are sick somewhere, come to the mourning family and say that the mourning family will definitely want her to treat you well!" (To be continued......)
