Chapter 348: Plan ahead

Xia Guo is still covered with thick snow, the cold wind is blowing, and under the bright sun, it is also cold to the bone, and there is no sense of spring.

Spring in the summer country always comes a little later, and I don't know how many heavy snows I have to go through before I can see the heart-warming greenery.

The noisy palace seemed to be sealed by the cold, dead and silent, no longer lively, and the concubines who liked to fight seemed to be afraid of the cold and closed their doors.

Mu Yunfan's illness is getting worse day by day, and the imperial doctors almost have to live in the Liuli Palace, and they are still helpless about Mu Yunfan's condition.

Since the Qingge tribe fought against the Xia Kingdom, Mu Yunfan has almost never announced that the concubines are in bed, so the concubines have lost even the strength to compete for favor.

Everyone is in danger and has no hope, and the only thing to pray for is that Mu Yunfan can survive for a few more years, or Mu Yunfan can be merciful and not leave a martyrdom will.

All the concubines are only Qingruo's head, Qingruo's age is the youngest among the concubines, but no one dares to despise her.

Every concubine who wants to make waves and want to be in the limelight has seen Qingruo's methods, but in the end, she was forced to not even dare to hide her hatred in her heart.

This queen, who looks soft and weak, has actually properly subdued the entire harem and has become the object of everyone's flattery.

Mu Yunfan promoted Mu Qianya, from a concubine, to the position of a concubine in one fell swoop.

What's more, because of the closeness between Qingruo and Mu Qianya, no one dares to have the slightest disrespect for Mu Qianya, and Mu Qianya's life in the palace is also happy.

However, this is no longer what Mu Qianya wants, since the last time Mu Yunfan threatened Mu Qianxun with her and Mu Jianlang's lives, she was completely tired of this cannibalistic palace.

Who can know if the danger will come in the next moment, but after all, she has accepted her fate, she is the concubine of the Xia Kingdom, and Mu Jianlang is the heir of the Xia Kingdom, they can't escape from this palace, birth, old age, sickness and death, they all have to be in this cold palace.

Regarding Mu Yunfan's condition, she has long been numb, she has no expectations, no fear, and Qingruo protects her, and it will definitely not be her turn to be martyred.

As for the original incident, she is trying her best to forget, she comes from a deep house, with a tenderness in her bones, maybe it is not wrong to say that she is weak, she can't hate Mu Yunfan, and she can't love it.

In the glazed hall and the apse, Mu Yunfan was lying on the bed, covered with two quilts, and it was thick on his body, and it was difficult to turn over.

In the big room, only Mu Yunfan's heavy, breathless gasps, and occasional light cough could be heard.

Staring at the top of the bed stupidly, his eyes were blank, his cloudy eyes could not distinguish joy, anger and sorrow, his cheekbones were raised high, his faces on both sides collapsed, and his lips were chapped.

A black hair changed to a silver-white color, and he looked like an old man in his last years, this old appearance was unrecognizable.

Liu Yu also looked a lot thinner, hunched over, standing in front of Mu Yunfan's bed, waiting for the dispatch.

The room was warm, and there were five or six in the corners of the charcoal braziers, and people who had been sick for a long time were always more chilly than ordinary people.

"Liu Yu, help me up, and show me the folds that Qingruo has approved, I don't feel at ease. ”

Mu Yunfan struggled, he couldn't resist the thick quilt for a long time, and the green tendons on his neck suddenly moved agitated.

Liu Yu hurriedly reached out to help, touched Mu Yunfan's skinny back, and sighed sadly, the whole person was fluttering, as if it would dissipate at any time.

Mu Yunfan's appearance is really unable to cope with the stacks of twists and turns, but this government can't be wasted.

In a big country, everything that happens every day needs him to deal with it, and in desperation, Qingruo will do it for him.

Whenever he watched Qing Ruo frown and seriously review the folds for him, he couldn't help but see Nangong Ling's figure on Qing Ruo.

At the current juncture, he can't take care of any harem and can't interfere in politics, this is really a helpless move, he just wants to die now, he can't die, this country, no one can entrust him.

Back then, Nangong Ling was not so high-spirited, giving him advice and helping him kill the enemy on the battlefield, no worse than what a man did.

When he ascended the throne, that Nangong Ling was as if he was dead, and he was careful in everything he said and did.

However, when she asked the court, she pretended not to see the concubines carrying them to the glass hall one after another, but at that time, he didn't understand her sorrow.

For a while, he was a little envious of Mu Youchen's unhesitational and left the entire country behind, just to stay with the person he loved.

He will do everything for the throne, and Mu Youchen will give everything he has for Mu Qianxun, in fact, everyone is the same, but what they do is different.

It's just that he still has regrets in his heart, but Mu Youchen won't, people may really be the most sober before they die, they don't have the desire for fame and fortune, they will only think of the most precious things they once had.

"The emperor should rest well, the imperial doctor said, the emperor can't work anymore. ”

Liu Yu knelt down with a plop, his tone was full of sincerity, as a slave, the most important thing is to listen to the master's words, for decades, he has also remembered it, but today it is against it.

Mu Yunfan tried his best to muster up his strength, stubbornly refusing to listen to Liu Yu's persuasion, he just wanted to be able to do something more in his lifetime:

"Alas, it's just quacks, it's better to cut it off, it's useless to keep it!

According to Qianshu, I still have a year to live, it won't be so soon, bring Qingruo to me!"

Liu Yu got up slowly, put on Mu Yunfan's clothes, and walked out of the apse with his head shaken.

With Liu Yu coming back, in addition to Qingruo and Mu Jianlang, Mu Jianlang and Qingruo are almost inseparable, but Mu Yunfan didn't expect that Qingruo would also take Mu Jianlang with him when he reviewed the folds, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Mu Yunfan sent Liu Yu to the Imperial Medical Department, sat upright, flipped the folds in his hand, as calm as ever, and asked lightly:

"This matter can't be known to outsiders, isn't it inappropriate to take it with Jianlang?"

In Mu Yunfan's eyes, Mu Jianlang is still the child who doesn't know the world, at the age of seven, he will eventually be young, and it is inevitable that he will lose his words and cause trouble.

Mu Jianlang pursed his lips, lowered his head, his black and white eyes flashed amber light under the reflection of the charcoal basin, and pursed his lips, which was completely different from the little boy before.

Qingruo's eyes flowed, and in an instant, his thoughts had turned countless times, and suddenly he lit up, and his heart was horizontal:

"Qing Ruo feels that Jian Lang should be in contact with the fold, he is more suitable than Qing Ruo to criticize this fold!"

Before Mu Youchen could speak, Qing Ruo took a step and half knelt under Mu Yunfan's bed, waiting for Mu Yunfan's thunderous anger.

Qingruo should have called herself a concubine in front of Mu Yunfan, but she couldn't say it, Mu Yunfan had always acquiesced, and they didn't care much about it after the people.

Sure enough, the fold in Mu Yunfan's hand was against Qingruo's cheek, and it was thrown on the hard floor with a bang, and it rolled twice unsatisfied, followed by Mu Yunfan's helpless reprimand:

Don't think that if I spoil you, you can do whatever you want!

The rivers and mountains of this Xia Kingdom are not your turn to call the shots! Jian Lang is just a child, and You Chen is the prince of this Xia Kingdom!"

Qingruo's shoulders shrank, and the jade hand subconsciously grabbed the hem of his clothes, stretching out his head was a knife, and shrinking his head was also a knife, anyway, there will always be this day:

"The emperor forgives the sin, Qing Ruo did not disobey the emperor, Qing Ruo just wanted to ask the emperor, how sure the emperor is, can ... Can you convince the crown prince to come back and inherit the throne?

If it is impossible for the crown prince to return, should the emperor have planned earlier, rather than having me, the concubine, take charge of the government.

Once this matter is in the world, Qing Ruo is afraid that his life will be short, and Qing Ruo does not want to lose his life in vain. ”

Qing Ruo crouched down, not daring to move, for fear that Mu Yunfan's next sentence would announce the end of her life.

At what step in this palace, she is not breaking with her head, she just wants that her head can stay steady until the day of old death.

Mu Yunfan didn't speak for a long time, and slowly, his eyes fell on Mu Jianlang behind Qing Ruo.

Mu Jianlang looked at Mu Yunfan fearlessly, that kind of bearing, how could a seven-year-old child have.

Unconsciously, Mu Jianlang has grown a lot taller, tall and thin, with a calm expression, and he is no longer a child who is coquettish to him in Jing Yaxuan, telling him how delicious the pastries made by Mu Qianya are.

He sighed faintly, perhaps, he is really old, nothing is within his control, and his identity as an emperor is useless.

Looking back, this was all caused by him, otherwise, Mu Jianlang would never have become a little adult in such a short period of time.

His chest began to ache again, and he absentmindedly grabbed the folds on the couch, but he grabbed an empty spot, and was stared at by the Qingming in Mu Jianlang's eyes.

"Jianlang, you are really willing to take this position, this position has to bear a lot more than you think, besides... You're just a kid. ”

As he spoke, Mu Yunfan's voice became deeper and lower, and he laughed self-deprecatingly, yes, he was just a child, but he wanted him to bear everything he shouldn't have to bear.

"The sons and daughters are all arranged by their father. ”

The voice was crisp, with a child's unique tone, but the words that came out were not like children, kneeling beside Qingruo, and his little face was tense.

Mu Yunfan was stunned, stunned, and speechless for a while, he thought that he would say the reason why he was willing or unwilling, and even imagined the tirades that Qing Ruo taught him, but it was not.

His answer was so cautious, neither humble nor arrogant, seamless, a child, why did he learn to act tactfully so early, is it a blessing or a misfortune.

"Qingruo, you are very smart, but a smart woman should be able to collect her light, you are so smart, how can I rest assured that Jianlang will be in your hands?"

Qingruo's pupils shrank suddenly, it was really difficult to survive in the cracks like walking on thin ice.

This was expected the moment she agreed to Mu Youchen, although she never regretted it, she was still afraid.

Mu Yunfan's words were already obvious, he was afraid that she would take away the country of Xia, the real power in Mu Jianlang's hands, and use a child as a puppet.

And the only way for him to recognize Mu Jianlang is for Qingruo to disappear, only dead people are no threat!
