380: Lonely old age, bleak evening
Nangong Li's meaning is that he wants Fei Qi to conduct a secret investigation behind his back, so as not to leak the news.
Only the three people in this room knew about this matter, and Fei Qi didn't even tell Jiang Ci.
After Fei Qi retreated, looking at the wind and rain outside, Mu Xue's eyes flashed with a trace of worry.
"Ah Li, you said before that your father blamed you for being too partial to me, and you said that your father would not directly and forcefully issue a holy decree for marriage, right?"
In fact, Mu Xue's worries are very reasonable.
If it weren't for Nangong Li's temporary stabilization of the emperor's mood when he was in the imperial study today, I'm afraid that the emperor would already be looking for a side Fujin for Nangong Li.
mentioned this matter, Nangong Li didn't want to hide it from her.
He wrapped the person around his waist in his arms, his thin lips grinded in her ears, and the unsteady breath was sprinkled on her ears, making Mu Xue feel itchy and comfortable.
"Today in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Ah Li temporarily agreed to his father's words."
Mu Xue had an instinctive sense of uneasiness in her heart, and she always felt that all the raindrops outside had smashed on her heart.
"What??"
Her fingers on the placket of her clothes tightened slightly, and she always felt that her peaceful life for the past month had been shattered.
"My father said that he wanted to give this king a side concubine, but this king did not refuse at that time."
He was sincere.
Sincerity made Mu Xue a little flustered.
What is called Na Fang Concubine, this man did not refuse.
Mu Xue's originally ruddy face turned white after hearing this, and a strange feeling rose in her heart.
It's not all jealousy.
Her mind was spinning, and she thought to herself that this man might be planning for the future.
After all, there is a great possibility that she will leave this world in the future, and it is good to have someone to accompany him.
You can't let him die alone.
This kind of ending is just a casual turn in Mu Xue's heart, and she feels desolate.
No, no...
Mu Xue shook her head, she couldn't let him die alone and the evening was bleak!!
Nangong Li didn't know this idea in Mu Xue's heart, only to see her face turn white and ugly, and to see her subconsciously shaking her head, thinking that she was unwilling to accept this reality deep down.
He hurriedly pinched her face, and then said to her loudly: "Don't worry, Ah Li promised you that you will only be one woman in your life, and you will not marry other women. ”
Mu Xue used to ask him to do so.
But Mu Xue felt that it was too difficult.
If he leaves by himself in the future, he will have the next many years alone, and he will slowly survive alone, which is really too bitter.
She didn't give any response to his words.
The corners of his lips tugged at the corners of his lips, and then leaned on his chest, as if he wanted to rely on this man's body and mind.
"Wouldn't that be a conflict?"
Nangong Li wants to stay with Mu Xue, which will indeed conflict with the emperor's opinion.
Nangong Li naturally knows this.
"Xiao Xue'er, I believe that Ah Li, Ah Li will have a way."
Nangong Li's resourcefulness Mu Xue expressed great trust.
Hearing his loud words, feeling the fiery red beating heart between his chest, the woman breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she wanted to spit out all the troubles in her chest.
The pouring rain outside continued, and there seemed to be no stopping posture.
Mu Xue's long hair was halfway down the waist, and she was standing on the steps in front of the porch, the rain splashing the upper of her shoes.
Yunzhi walked over with a cloak embroidered with fine lotus.
"Princess, you are a person with a body, don't let the rain fall on you..."
As he spoke, Yunzhi put the maroon cloak on Mu Xue.
After draping it, Yunzhi saw that Mu Xue was just staring at the pouring rain outside, and followed her gaze, but could only see countless fine rain curtains.
"Princess, what are you looking at?"
Mu Xue is looking at the skyless sky.
She was even wondering if Nangong Li's mother often stood on the steps in front of the corridor like this and watched the sky.
Naturally, she didn't see any way out.
Hearing Yunzhi's words, Mu Xue withdrew her gaze.
"Nothing. The prince said that he would not come back for dinner in the evening, so he didn't have to do his share. ”
Nangong Li just said that to Mu Xue to make Mu Xue believe him, and then put on his clothes and went out.
Mu Xue knows.
He went out to do something that made him believe in him.
Mu Xue suddenly sighed, such a feeling of mutual trust is really amazing.
"Yes, Princess."
"Go and call Zhizhi over, this concubine has something to ask him."
In fact, when Fang was discussing these things with Nangong Li, Mu Xue had already put his suspicious eyes on Zhizhi.
After all, the people who have been in and out of this inner room in the past month, except for Jiang Ci, Yunzhi and Fei Qi, only Zhizhi will often enter and leave this room with a decoction.
Yunzhi likes to be knowledgeable.
Mu Xue knows this.
She pursed her lips, and suddenly it seemed like things were getting a little more complicated.
She looked at Yunzhi in front of her, there were too many things in her gaze, and she could see Yunzhi's heart beating a drum.
In fact, Yunzhi didn't do anything to be sorry for Mu Xue, but recently he always left his mind elsewhere when he was on errands.
At this moment, she was a little uncertain in her heart, and asked Mu Xue in a low voice: "Princess, what are you doing looking at the slave maid like this?" Strange and scary...."
Mu Xue's eyes weren't very sharp, but Yunzhi was really scared.
"Yunzhi, how long have you been following Concubine Ben?"
Yunzhi didn't know why the princess would mention this well, but in her mind, she was thinking about how long she had been serving Mu Xue.
"When I was eight years old, I was bought into the General's Mansion, and I have been serving Miss for twelve years."
Generally, the maids of high-ranking officials and eunuchs, except for the servants born in the family, it is normal to buy maids and servants from outside.
When Yunzhi was bought, it was a small lump and stunted, but it was Mu Xue who said that it was the eye that fit, so it stayed by his side.
Twelve years...
Mu Xue was still thinking that Yunzhi was not small, if she really had a fate with Zhizhi, then she, the master, would be happy to see it.
I think she was going to give Yunzhi a congratulatory gift with a deed of sale.
Giving her freedom back is the best gift Mu Xue thinks.
But nowadays, Zhizhi's identity doesn't seem to be so simple.
Before Mu Xue finished speaking, she led Yunzhi to the room first.
"Bring the door shut."
Mu Xue walked slowly in front, Yun Zhi followed anxiously, and after stepping into the door, Mu Xue ordered to close the door.
The brightness in the room dimmed instantly, isolating the ethereal wind and rain outside the door.
After Yun Zhi closed the door, he saw the princess sitting upright on the Taishi chair behind the desk, and her heavy gaze fell on her.
She lifted her breath, and her footsteps were very soft.
"Yunzhi, Concubine Ben has forgotten to care about your affairs these days, in this palace, do you have a man you like?"
Yunzhi didn't expect Mu Xue to ask so directly, and her face turned red at that time.
Today, Mu Xue brought Yunzhi over to ask these words, just to ask Yunzhi: Concubine Ben and Na Zhizhi, who do you choose?
At this moment, Yunzhi was already kneeling on the ground, heartache and sadness flashed between her eyes, could it be that the princess didn't allow herself to be with Na Zhizhi?
But why?
Obviously, even if she is with Zhizhi, she will not delay serving the princess at all.
It seems to read the surprise and questions in Yunzhi's heart.
Mu Xue's all-seeing gaze fell on Yunzhi's body, and asked in a deep tone: "If Concubine Ben told you, then Zhizhi has done something sorry for the prince and the concubine, so do you still insist on being with him?" ”
Zhizhiruo is really the emperor's secret guard.
Then this knowledge is too deep.
Yunzhi, a simple girl, is estimated to be not enough for him to play.
Hearing the princess's powerful words, Yunzhi's beautiful apricot eyes flashed with an obscure light, as if he didn't quite believe Mu Xue's words.
Her mind is simple, where does she understand the twists and turns in between.
Mu Xue didn't intend to mention these things to Yunzhi, but once again said seriously: "You have served this concubine for so many years, and you have also lost your maid to maintain it everywhere in the General's Mansion. Naturally, this concubine will not stop you from pursuing your own happiness, and if it is a perfect match, this concubine will not stop you. But Yunzhi, Zhizhi is not someone you should like. ”
What is called someone who should not be liked.
Yunzhi said that he did not understand the meaning of this.
What the princess said today, Yunzhi has always been ignorant of.
knew that the princess didn't approve of being with Zhizhi.
She raised her head and asked innocently: "But princess, isn't it a simple thing to like someone?" ”
Why did the princess make this matter so complicated?
Her rhetorical question made Mu Xue dumbfounded, and Mu Xue suddenly didn't know how to refute this, maybe Yunzhi was right.
Didn't she herself say that liking someone has nothing to do with all appearances?
Mu Xue didn't plan to explain anything to her, but just ordered: "You go to the medicine shop now and call Zhizhi over, but you are not allowed to say anything to Zhizhi, just say that the concubine feels uncomfortable, please come over and ask for a pulse." ”
Mu Xue was worried about what Yunzhi said in front of Zhizhi, and when the time came, Zhizhi would be more vigilant, so he couldn't ask anything great.
"Yes, the slave will call him now."
On the way to the small medicine shop with an oil-paper umbrella in Yunzhi, Fei Qi walked out of the shadows.
As soon as she came out, she knelt down, and the expression of gratitude was thick between her voices.
"Thank you, Princess, for your help."
Mu Xue called Zhizhi over, and he couldn't take care of his room, so Fei Qi could go to his room to search.
Fei Qi knew that every secret guard around the emperor would be marked, so she didn't believe that she couldn't find any clues.
"I found the evidence, and when the prince comes back, remember to hand it over to the prince."
"Yes, slave understands."
"It's good to understand, solving him is equivalent to ending a matter of the prince's heart."
It is not difficult to hear that there seems to be a trace of tiredness in Mu Xue's voice, as if she is tired of these things.
