Chapter 49: The Jade Concubine

After Shen Jin came out of the imperial study, he walked all the way to the corridor, and the woman hiding in the dark looked at the figure in front of her, pursed her lips, and followed him with a light footsteps.

The figure in front of him was stunned for a long time, and the woman was not in a hurry to wait patiently for him here, as she expected, the figure in front of her turned around and left in the opposite place.

After the man left, the woman came out of the darkness and quietly looked at his back.

Although the sun in the second half of the day was not large, it was still a little dazzling, and it shook from the gap of the lonely leaf to her eyes.

The woman reacted, and there was still a man's figure in front of her, so angry that she stomped her feet.

……………

After opening her eyes, the light around her was so bright that she couldn't help but squint, and only after her eyes were completely adapted to the light did Xiao Yue open her eyes, her long eyelashes flickered, and she was pitiful, and I felt pity.

"Don't pretend to be pitiful when you wake up, no one is watching here." A sneering voice came from behind, which frightened Xiao Yue and hurriedly turned around.

A young man in black with handsome eyebrows stood there looking at her and said sarcastically.

After searching in his mind, he remembered that the young man in front of him was Mu Gui's personal servant. Maybe she had been asleep for several days and her head was confused, but she felt that the young man in black in front of her was not bad, and he was born upright.

If she hadn't targeted the gentle Mu Da people a long time ago, maybe she would have liked the young man in front of her.

The more she thought about it, the more she realized that something was wrong, she was born to use all her advantages and strive to cling to the powerful, how could she possibly look at this humble subordinate in front of her.

She shook her head, simply shook off the thoughts in her heart, and saw that Xie Sui saw through her true colors, and stopped pretending, and said coldly: "What about Master Mu?" Where is he? ”

The woman in front of her suddenly revealed her true face, Xie Sui was slightly stunned, and then reacted, and said angrily: "The fox showed its tail?" Why don't you pretend to be weak and pitiful? ”

He hates pretentious people the most in his life, and he has long been unaccustomed to Xiao Yue's dedication in front of his son-in-law many times, and he speaks with unkindness.

Mu Zhao was not here, and Xiao Yue simply didn't pretend: "So what?" Isn't your son-in-law deceived by my weakness? ”

He was angry when he mentioned this incident, and he reminded Mu Zhao of Xiao Yue's character many times in Youzhou, and his son-in-law also drove Xiao Yue away, but he didn't expect her to be ghostly, and seeing that he couldn't pretend to be pitiful and innocent, he came to a bitter trick so that his son-in-law had to take her.

Just take her with you, and as soon as she arrived in the capital, she asked him to find an inn to settle her, and told him many times to let him take care of her.

Take care? He wanted to tear the mask of hypocrisy off her face.

Xie Sui snorted, and said sarcastically with a smile: "Miss Xiao is afraid that she will be disappointed, my son-in-law already has a sweetheart, and I am afraid that I will marry that young lady in the near future." ”

This time the son returned to Beijing for Miss Shen, and I am afraid that in time, his son and Miss Shen will eventually become married.

Hearing this, Xiao Yue didn't care, and shrugged helplessly: "Then don't thank Gongzi for worrying about me, wouldn't it be good for the little woman to find another one." ”

The woman in front of her smiled, and her original appearance became vivid.

Thank you for seeing her indifferent look, there was a fire in her heart, his son-in-law still doesn't know where he is, listening to his son-in-law's orders that he is still here to guard her, she is good, she looks like she has nothing to do with herself.

She is a faction of interests, and she doesn't care about the so-called friendship and shame, even if Mu Zhao saves her and takes care of her for so long, she doesn't feel a trace of warmth from Mu Zhao. How could a trivial matter make her upset?

"You ........." Xie Sui said angrily, and then reacted, why are you arguing with her here? Why don't you spend more energy to find out where the son is?

After tossing her a bag of silver, he turned and walked out of the inn.

In the sunlight, the black back looks particularly shiny.

Xiao Yue took the purse in her hand and was slightly stunned for a long time. The sun shone on her delicate facial features, and for the first time, she seemed to have the breath of a living person.

…………

Changyin Pavilion

Concubine Yu asked Tongxi to invite the emperor to come up, but she couldn't wait for Song Heng to come for a long time, but Tongxi didn't come back.

Tong Xi is a person from the Prime Minister's Mansion and her confidant, and Concubine Yu knows that this matter is not simple, so she waited patiently for a while.

Looking at it, the actors on the stage were babbling and singing a play that didn't know the repertoire.

The little nun was twenty-eight years old, and her hair was shaved off by her master when she was young.

I'm a woman, not a man.

Why is the waist tied with yellow silk, wearing a straight jacket, seeing the couples spilling, a pair of brocade wearing rose, can't help but make people anxious, the slave tore the robe!

The tone is rich and the meaning is profound, but the lyrics are too sad. Who is the Jade Concubine? Even if you fall out of favor in the future, your life will not be bad, let alone the question of when you will fall out of favor.

Besides, even if their Prime Minister's Mansion falls, the Li family, as one of the four great families in Kyoto, should not be underestimated.

She didn't like to watch these miserable and tragic plays, so she waved her hand and ordered a different play on stage.

At this time, Tong Xi came in from outside and replied: "Miss, I have inquired clearly, Mu Gongzi was indeed imprisoned by the emperor, how did Rao is slave inquire, and I only got the news that he was imprisoned in a secret prison." ”

There are so many secret prisons that there are nearly ten that are known to the world on the bright side alone. It is indeed difficult to find Mu Zhao.

"Let him go." Concubine Yu replied lightly. And he added, "Just do what I told you." ”

Tong Xi knew what Concubine Yu was talking about, and nodded.

"Tongxi, help me back to the palace." Now that the goal has been achieved, she doesn't need to stay here any longer.

"Yes." Tong Xi walked up to Concubine Yu with ease and helped her up.

The two get along harmoniously and harmoniously, there is no trace of master and servant, Concubine Yu calls herself me in front of her, and Tongxi does not call Concubine Yu Niangniang, but Miss, which is enough to show that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

Passing by the Imperial Garden, seeing the newly cultivated peonies in the flower room on the ground, the Jade Concubine stopped, took off the golden hairpin on the bun, and casually poked the stamens with the golden hairpins.

Concubine Yu was quite bored and accepted the hairpin.

"How's he doing?"

"It's the same as it was back then, but there is tiredness between the eyebrows." Kiriki lowered his voice and said softly.

Concubine Yu listened lightly, and didn't react much after listening, with a smile on her delicate face: "He should also be tired, otherwise I will be the only one who is tired in the end, and it will be unfair no matter what." ”

Tong Xi followed Concubine Yu's words and said, "Miss is right. ”

Originally, it was nothing, seeing the peony cultivated in the imperial garden, she just felt it, but now looking at her own girl so towards herself, Concubine Yu chuckled: "I just feel it, so what's right or wrong?" ”

"Miss is taught."

Concubine Yu didn't say much after hearing this, and continued to walk forward.

After returning to the Shen Mansion, Shen Jin did not hide it at all, and said an important conversation lightly, except for the fact that Song Heng threatened him with the lives of Mu Zhao and Ah Ci.

From other aspects, Song Heng is no worse than Mu Zhao for Shen Nanyan, although he has not stopped her from being with Mu Zhao, but if he wants Shen Nanyan to choose for himself.

He said: "You are not false to the emperor's heart, if you have that will, let me give you this jade pendant." You have thought about what you will suffer in the future, and you can do it yourself. After speaking, he took out the piece of Hetian Meiyu carved with this dragon pattern from his arms and handed it to Shen Nanyan.

Hearing this, Shen Nanyan looked at Shen Jin's movements and didn't take it, stood in place and pondered for a while, just when Shen Jin mistakenly thought that his sister was willing to make a good choice, Shen Nanyan said softly: "I don't have such a fragile relationship with him, I don't like him because he treats me well, just because it's him, and the person I like is him." ”

No matter which choice she made, Shen Jin supported unconditionally and nodded.

"What about him? Got out of Kyoto? Shen Nanyan asked the question he wanted to know the most.

Shen Jin shook his head: "He was imprisoned by the emperor when he just left Beijing, Song Heng asked me to hand this over to you, I wanted to say that you decide whether to accept it or not." Now that you have made a choice, I am very happy. Later, I will beg my father to lend me 3,000 elite soldiers to put pressure on the emperor. You can rest assured, no matter what, you will be fine when you return. ”

After Shen Jin finished speaking, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't say much, and went back to the house alone.

After a long time, under the urging of the red cherry blossoms, Shen Nanyan returned to Nanyuan.

Song Heng was noncommittal about her heart, and she never doubted it, she was very grateful to Song Heng for liking her, but she really had no other feelings except gratitude.

She thought that Song Heng's words were just casually said, but although she took it to heart, she still had a glimmer of hope for Song Heng, it turned out that it didn't matter if she hoped to report it or not, the key was her, and it was just up to her to see how she decided.

If the choice is just with Song Heng's heart, according to his wishes, she will take the jade pendant and enter the palace, her affection for Mu Zhao will not harm him, Song Heng's words are indeed just casual words.

But once she chooses to reject Song Heng, Mu Zhao's safety is in Song Heng's hands.

Let her give up her affection and throw herself into Song Heng's arms, she can't do it anyway. But she didn't want to see the person she loved die in front of her, and to see him hurt.

It's ridiculous, she seems to have become a corner in a script, being liked by two men at the same time, brothers fighting each other, killing each other.

Generally, at this time, the man in the story will threaten the life of the woman's sweetheart and force the woman to comply, and for the sake of the life of her beloved, the woman will abandon her affection and be with the man she doesn't love.

This is an extremely difficult and painful choice, I didn't know what love was, I just felt that this woman lived too affectionately and was not rational enough.

Now when it comes to herself, she realizes that this is a difficult problem to choose.

Shen Nanyan sighed lightly, and after a simple make-up, she closed her eyes under the urging of the red cherry blossoms many times.

Lying on her side on the collapse, she continued to think about it, she was cold and self-assured, and she didn't like to think too much.

In the long run, she hardly hesitated in her life. But this incident made her panic. For a moment, my thoughts gradually drifted.........
