201 The proprietress of the Imperial Cake Court
After Jiang Xue left, Xu Shuxian repeatedly recalled the scene of Fang Cai, and was relieved to make sure that there was nothing wrong with her, and Mu An didn't notice her.
She knew that as long as Jiang Xue was still the princess of Daqi, Mu An couldn't do anything to Jiang Xue in front of her no matter what, and that slap was already unexpected.
However, it is not bad to change someone to make Jiang Xue have a long memory.
"Take good care of the princess, and remember to add clothes to her."
The maid who was instructed looked worried, and muttered in a low voice: "Niangniang, this princess of Daqi has no one in her eyes, and she is even more ...... to Niangniang Why does the mother still think about her everywhere? ”
Xu Shuxian lowered her face and whispered: "The emperor put her here in the palace, and the palace must not let the emperor down." ”
The maid nodded reluctantly, and said in her heart: Their mother's temper is too good, and she can be relieved of anyone.
Since the death of the concubine Niangniang, the emperor has come to this harem significantly less, and there are not many people who come to Niangniang...... It's really a bad fate.
Xu Shuxian didn't know what they were thinking, pinched her analgesic forehead, and turned around and entered the house.
Mu An came out of the queen's palace, glanced back faintly, and sneered.
This time, she won't show mercy anymore.
Sometimes being too kind is not necessarily good, and judging is not necessarily good!
Thinking that the palace would be more lively in the next few days, he lowered his head and flicked his nails, and Mu An walked quickly to the outside of the palace.
Mu Xun waited at the high wall, waved his hand to the palace people around him, signaled them to retreat, and walked towards Mu An.
"Why is the prince still here?"
"Waiting for you", Mu Xun smiled slightly, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Even through the silver face, Mu An could feel the contours of him softening towards him.
Smiling, Mu An naturally followed him out of the high wall, shoulder to shoulder, all of which didn't seem abrupt at all.
Suddenly, Mu An chuckled: "Does the prince want to stay in Shengjing for the New Year?" ”
Nodding slightly, Mu Xun's afterglow swept over Mu An's head, and the two figures in the high wall coincided with history for a moment.
He was silent for a moment, then retracted his gaze and said, "I came in a hurry this time, I may have to stay in Daliang Shengjing for a long time." ”
Mu An: "When this turmoil passes, I will treat the prince well." ”
"Okay", Mu Xun smiled: "I can't ask for it, I must wait." ”
Muan: "......"
It must be that she thinks too much, how can this Da Liang Shizi have so many faces?
It wasn't like this to Xiao Jingyan before in the main hall, and the wild goose was not gentle at all when he returned to kill outside the gate.
But she inexplicably favors this "outsider", no matter what Mu Xun does, she selectively turns a blind eye.
Leaving the palace, Qing Jian had already prepared a carriage and waited outside the palace, waving with Mu Xun.
Qing Jian glanced at Mu Xun from a distance before turning her head, and the silver mask was faintly familiar to her, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Mu An: "Is there any news about Qingxian?" ”
"Miss, don't worry too much", Qing Jian was relieved in her heart, and she didn't know whether she was saying it to herself or to Mu An: "Qingyin has gathered the other disciples in the nearby pavilion and secretly contacted Qing Xian and them, if there are still any of them alive, there will definitely be news in less than three days." ”
For now, a lot can happen in three days.
Will there really be news?
Or will it be good news?
The carriage swayed, and Mu An suddenly became dizzy, and she closed her eyes, just thinking that she had been eating irregularly recently and her appetite was not good.
Holding her forehead, she said slowly: "With Qingxian, tell me the news of them as soon as possible." ”
Qing Jian: "Yes." ”
Walking to the long street, Mu An, who had been squinting for a while, lifted the curtain and glanced outside, and saw a team of guards from Xiao Kun's mansion passing by, her eyes darkened, and she said in her heart: With Jiang Xue alone, she will definitely not be able to drag Baicaotang to such a dangerous situation, there must be someone behind this.
Obviously, Qing Jian also thought about it, and she turned around: "Miss, do you want me to go to the Third Prince's Mansion to investigate?" ”
"It's too dangerous", Mu An shook his head: "Besides, Xiao Kun dares to blatantly take the Praetorian Guard, which means that someone instructed us not to act rashly, the truth will always come out." ”
Xiao Kun was afraid that he had been too idle recently, so Mu An retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Go to West Street, Imperial Cake Pavilion." ”
West Street Imperial Cake Court
The door of the shop that used to be crowded with people is now closed, and the red lantern at the door is pierced by something, and the red paper is falling in a stagger, allowing it to be torn by the cold wind.
The door is full of birds, and it is desolate.
In stark contrast to the shops next to her, Mu An was well-dressed, and as soon as she got out of the car, she attracted the attention of pedestrians, and when she saw that she didn't want to think about it, she went to the Imperial Cake Pavilion, and immediately a woman came up to stop her, and glanced at the opposite side in a bad way.
Whispered: "Is Miss going there to buy pastries?" ”
Mu An glanced at her, and before she could make a sound, the kind aunt began to pour beans, first scratched Mu An's random comparison, and then said disgustedly: "Don't go, girl, there is an accident in that shop, how can anyone still come to eat pastries now, look at the white and pure girl's birth, don't be contaminated with any unclean bad luck, go back quickly." ”
"......" Mu An was stunned, knowing that people's words are terrifying, in this era, I am afraid that the proprietress of this Royal Cake Pavilion has lost her husband, and she has a reputation for being unchaste, and she is afraid that she is a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats her.
Sighing, Mu An moved the corners of his mouth: "I'm here to look for someone, does my aunt know that the proprietress of this shop is still there?" ”
"Looking for someone?" The woman looked at Mu An in confusion, stunned for a moment, and her attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn, looking at Mu An's eyes, she couldn't help but have a little more "unclean" things, she looked Mu An up and down a few times, probably thinking that this girl was not bad, and she didn't say ugly things.
Taking a step back, the woman rolled up her sleeves and nodded perfunctorily: "Being caught red-handed by her husband on another man's bed, where did she come from, and she still wants to kill people and kill her mouth, such a vicious heart...... Tsk, even the neighbors disagree, I'm afraid that they will repent. ”
"What if the intestines are repentant, my husband is dead."
"Thank you", Mu Weiwei was blessed, deaf to her, she motioned for Qing Jian to go over and knock on the door.
Qing Jian knocked for a long time and no one responded, frowning: "Miss, don't open it." ”
Mu An: "That's no way, I have something to ask her, you try to be as light as possible." ”
Qing Jian: "......"
Her young lady is really violent!
It didn't follow common sense at all, Qing Jian was full of strength, kicked the door twice, and the door was opened, this door was quite strong, basically no problem, Mu An then / went in and kindly closed it for her.
There are three rooms inside, with a small courtyard at the back, and when they went in, they saw the panicked proprietress in the yard, who had never come to buy pastries in person before, and did not know that the proprietress had given birth to a good skin, and the charm still existed.
The proprietress held a stick tightly in her hand, her face was haggard, and she stared at the two people who came in in in horror, and screamed: "Get out——!! Get out! ”
Mu An and Qing Jian glanced at each other, she coughed with her fist in her mouth, and said, "You don't have to be too excited, we won't do anything to you, I want to ask you a few words, and I'll leave after asking." ”
"I don't know anything, I didn't do anything!! Ask what!? What do you ask? The proprietress cried and cried sadly, so she turned the stick in her hand and exerted all her strength, leaving no room at all.
Mu An quickly dodged away, she saw that the proprietress might have been stimulated and her mood was not quite right.
Qing Jian picked off the wooden stick in her hand with a sword, and held down the proprietress in three or two strokes: "Don't move!" ”
The fierce look was very terrifying, and Mu An hurried over: "Don't don't, let her go." ”
As soon as Qing Jian let go, the proprietress shrank back, looked at Mu An vigilantly, her expression was very sad, as if the world was about to be destroyed, she was disheartened, and she fell straight to the ground.
"You ...... Who is it? What are you here for? The proprietress grabbed her messy hair in pain: "I don't dare to go out, no one believes me, they all think I'm a slut!" I hate them, I hate everyone here! ”
Mu An heard that something was wrong, she carefully handed over the handkerchief, and said hurriedly: "You get up first, we are different from those people outside, you just said that you were wronged, right?" ”
The word "wronged" successfully attracted the attention of the proprietress, she raised her head in a hurry, her face was full of disbelief, she had said countless times that she was innocent, but no one believed her, and murmured: "Who are you?" ”
Mu'an: "Princess Regent." ”
"Wang ...... Princess", the proprietress was full of excitement, and after being frightened, she suddenly knelt on the ground, knocked her head three times, and cried: "See the princess, see the princess, and ask the princess to be the master, redress my grievances, and ask the princess to be gracious." ”
"You get up first", Mu An said lightly: "I have something to ask you." ”
Qing Jian poured a cup of tea for the proprietress and asked her to moisten her chapped lips first, I don't know what she has experienced in the past few days, and she can put an egg in her blue and black eye sockets.
Seeing that she gradually calmed down, Mu An spoke: "Who is the man who was captured with you?" Where are people now? ”
The proprietress shook her head and sobbed: "I don't know, I only have a few face-to-face relationships with him, after the incident, my husband fell ill in the lobby of the yamen, and he died like this, and that person can't be found." ”
Slightly surprised, things were a little different from what Mu An understood, and he was keenly aware that something was wrong.
"I heard he's from the shop next door?"
"It's not!" The proprietress hissed: "Where is he opening a shop, that is, he put the shop next to him down, and said a few words to me, worried that he is not familiar with life, I try to help, who knows that he actually framed me!" ”
On that day, the husband of the proprietress went out on the street, and the man next to him came to buy pastries, saying how the pastries were broken, and the proprietress saw that there was no one on the street, for fear that the bad things would be sold, so she tasted them herself, and then she didn't know anything.
When she woke up, she had slept with the man, and her husband arrived, and she was about to explain in a panic, who knew that when the man saw that his deeds were exposed, he would kill people and kill him, and she forcibly stopped him, so it didn't make a big mistake.
Speaking of this, the proprietress was grief-stricken and glanced up at Mu An.
