Chapter 174: A Terrifying Game
On the chaise longue, Rong Xi softly coaxed Mu Yan to sleep, turned around and walked out of the side hall silently, and Lu Qi followed her footsteps with great eyes.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
After taking a cautious look back and confirming that Mu Yan was asleep, Lu Qi dared to speak loudly.
"During the day, did you really see a palace maid stuffing a note to the regent?"
Looking at Lu Qi seriously, Rong Xi was uneasy.
Today, Mu Yan's words, I don't know if they are temptation or suspicion, or is they sowing discord?
Either way, it's not a good thing!
"Really."
Nodding, Lu Qi said seriously, she won't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. It's just that Mu Yan knows that it's quite surprising, it must be someone blowing wind in his ear that he will pay attention to this.
"Recently, you go and inquire carefully, and see who has been talking about these things beside His Majesty, and remember, don't let anyone know."
Rong Xi's face sank, and he always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, as if there was a big net covering their heads, which was slowly being collected, if they had noticed it earlier, maybe with their speed, they could have escaped.
Lu Qi nodded, and hurriedly went down to inquire about this matter first.
Rong Xi couldn't sleep all night, not only that, but in the next few days, he was also tired, Mu Yan had gradually made his attitude clear in the court, and everything that Mu Guichen proposed was not accepted, and the ministers were also figuring out the connotation of this.
For several days in a row, she didn't sleep well, and the matter of worshipping her ancestors also made her busy like a spinning top.
The days are approaching little by little the day of worshipping ancestors, but Mu Guichen came to visit at this time, Rong Xi had just finished dealing with the matter of worshipping ancestors, and planned to take a sip of tea to rest, and when he heard the news of his coming, he dragged his tired days to meet him.
In the gazebo, he was looking at the koi in the pool, the breeze gently caressing the hem of his clothes, and when he heard the voice, he turned to face her.
"Here we are."
Rong Xi walked in front of him, automatically found a stool to sit down, and reached out to rub his temples.
"Why are you here?"
She hadn't seen him for several days, and she had a headache when she knew what Mu Yan had done in the court these days, but at this time, she couldn't bump into him.
"This king has something to tell you."
Looking at Lu Qi on the side, after he said this, he didn't continue, Lu Qi blessed his body, and obediently poured tea and retreated outside the pavilion.
"Tell me, what's the matter, it's mysterious."
Glancing at Lu Qi, Rong Xi took a small piece of osmanthus cake, took a bite, and slowed down.
"It's almost the day to worship your ancestors, you are leisurely, not worried at all, but only this king is worried."
Shaking his head slightly, Mu Guichen said, seeing that the osmanthus cake she was holding was very delicious, she took a piece and took a bite, which was not as delicious as she imagined, and it was sweeter.
"What about worrying? The mourners don't have the ability to predict the future and can't guess what will happen. ”
Pouting, Rong Xi said dejectedly, she had a hunch that something would happen on the day of the ancestor worship.
"King Qingjiang asked King Ben to go to Tianxiang Teahouse that day."
After taking a sip of tea and slowing down the sweetness of the pastry, Mu Guichen told slowly.
Hearing this, Rong Xi sat up straight and looked at him seriously, that day, Mu Yan also told her that King Qingjiang had made an appointment with him, but she was quite surprised that Mu Guichen would choose to tell her at this time.
Thinking about it, he would not be embarrassed by King Qingjiang, and she didn't believe him wrong.
"What's their plan?"
Laughing lightly, Rong Xi felt a lot more relaxed.
"On the day of ancestor worship, they will take this opportunity to seize the Rong family and the Song family, force you to give way, and will also take the opportunity to eradicate the forces of the two families, once and for all."
truthfully told her about King Qingjiang's plan, and when Rong Xi heard his words, he felt funny, so he didn't deliberately suppress it, and laughed along.
"Just by them?"
said disdainfully, Rong Xi has confidence in the Rong family.
It's just that Mu Guichen's next words made all of her smiles disappear all at once.
"Naturally not, if that's the case, how can they ask for it."
Mu Guichen stared carefully at the expression on her face, and as soon as he finished saying this, he saw Rong Xi's face sink suddenly.
"Didn't you promise them?"
With her hands hidden under the table, she clutched her skirt nervously.
If Mu Guichen joins, she, the Rong family, and the Song family will not be able to hold on.
At this time, Rong Xi realized how dangerous what was going to happen on the day of the ancestor worship, she had been stupidly waiting for them to attack, but she had never taken the initiative to attack, and had been in a passive state.
"What do you think?"
Raising his eyebrows, Mu Guichen looked at her, wanting to know how she thought of him.
"I'm sure you're not that kind of person." She said firmly.
"They want this king to get rid of Mu Yan and set himself up as the king, saying that it is for the good of this king, but in the final analysis, it is still for Du Yuwei to pave the way."
Mu Guichen smiled contemptuously, seeing all their thoughts clearly, where is he, Mu Guichen, a person who is easy to be used by others.
Seeing Mu Guichen say this, Rong Xi was relieved.
"What do you want to do?" She was sure he would help.
"Since they have sent it to the door, then we will open the door, and we will plan and catch turtles in the urn."
said lightly, he said this matter very easily, but it made Rong Xi feel for a moment that this matter was not as difficult as he imagined.
"Catching turtles in an urn?"
Following his words, Rong Xi thought about it and understood his intentions.
Bringing the future, Mu Guichen was about to leave, and glanced at the osmanthus cake on the table, he hadn't been to the Jiaofang Palace for several days, and he really missed his little queen mother.
Rong Xi didn't know what he was thinking at all, seeing him looking at the osmanthus cake on the table, he thought that he had just tasted it, thinking that he liked the taste of the osmanthus cake, so he hurriedly wanted to give it to him.
"Give."
Picking up the plate of osmanthus cake, Rong Xi handed it to him: "Seeing that you seem to like eating this osmanthus cake very much, there are a lot of them prepared in the small kitchen, so you can bring these with you, and you can fill your stomach when you are hungry." ”
After that, she took a handkerchief, wrapped the osmanthus cake carefully, and stuffed it into his arms.
Raising his eyebrows, Mu Guichen looked at the osmanthus cake in his arms, he couldn't tell what it tasted like, he never said that he wanted to eat this osmanthus cake, this misunderstanding was a bit big.
However, since it was the intention of his little queen mother, he didn't want to refuse like that, didn't he?
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
After putting away the osmanthus cake, Mu Guichen thanked him calmly, but he didn't leave for a long time.
