Chapter 348: The Concubine Makes a Move
Du Mingyue didn't notice that something was wrong with Xiao Cui, and strode towards the warehouse: "Then let's go quickly, if it's too late, Mu Yuan will really have an accident!" ”
Xiaocui stopped her and said with a smile: "Niangniang, don't worry, just leave this kind of rough work to our subordinates, just wait." ”
Du Mingyue suppressed her emotions and stared at Xiao Cui, her brown eyes did not have the clear ripples in the black pupils, she was cold and ruthless.
Xiao Cui was uncomfortable, laughed dryly, folded her hands, grabbed her skirt nervously, calmed her heart, and asked, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Du Mingyue shook her head, her smile was gentle in the afterglow of the sunset, and said, "Let's go and have a look at this palace, so that I can feel at ease." ”
Xiao Cui bit her lip and watched her go to the warehouse, not daring to stop her.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but a terrifying aura gushed out of Du Mingyue's body, making her dare not question it, and she followed behind with her head down.
The warehouse door is open, there is no heavy dust atmosphere, no dust floating, it is clean.
Although Du Mingyue didn't go to inspect the warehouse, she sent different people to handle the warehouse, cleaning and counting the things in the warehouse every day, and she would look through it when she was bored.
The maidservant who managed the warehouse led Du Mingyue to the shelf where the cloud brocade was stored, and counted it, a total of seven horses.
"Emily." Du Mingyue's voice was still as gentle as before, but Xiao Cui felt so cold that she shivered, lowered her head and tightened her skirt to move over little by little, and shouted in a muffled voice: "Niangniang......"
Before she could explain, she heard Du Mingyue say: "Check it, and bring someone to send seven cloud brocades into the beauty of the shadow silently." ”
"!" Xiaocui called out unhappily, anxious and timid, and said, "In a few days, it will be the spring banquet, this Yunjin is given to you by His Majesty, it is difficult to find in the world, looking at the Daliang Dynasty, only Liying Shengxiang dares to produce in large quantities, and only the quality of her family can be seen." It's not easy to get the best quality Yunjin, don't you ......"
"Act tonight, don't let anyone else find out." Du Mingyue looked at her, her eyes were gentle, her voice was soft, but her tone was unquestionable.
Cui opened her mouth and hung her head away.
The back is soaked with sweat.
Her master had changed.
Obviously, his smile is still as gentle as before, and he still knows how to consider others as before, but his body is infected with cold.
As night fell, Xiao Cui didn't dare to sleep, waited quietly with her eyes open, and took a few of Du Mingyue's henchmen out of the palace to warn the guards not to tell anyone.
The doorman at the entrance of Qinxinyuan Alley was still dozing, holding a big knife, and his head was a little bit.
Xiao Cui instructed everyone to be careful, not to wake up these guards, and tiptoed to the gate of Qinxin Garden, slowing down and stuffing inside.
Stuffing all the seven cloud brocades into the courtyard, Xiao Cui held her breath and looked inside.
In the middle of the courtyard, a young man in a lotus flower brocade brown and brown leotard held a long sword, and his dark eyes stared straight at her.
Xiao Cui gasped, almost screamed, and immediately covered her mouth.
The March day is warm, and the night wind is cold.
Xiao Cui's body is numb, double. Weakness of the legs.
The boy walked towards her with straight, slender legs, but after a few breaths, the boy jumped over the fence and stood in front of Xiao Cui.
The smart apricot eyes have the charm of Danfeng, the corners of the lips are drooping, the bridge of the nose is high, the delicate is handsome, and there is a shadow under the eyes.
Xiao Cui's hanging heart was put down, the breath in her throat was spit out, and she asked in a low voice, "You are the guard next to Boss Xin, Mu Yi, right?" ”
Mu Yi frowned, and moved his mind to drive away the guests.
Since Xin Muyuan had Xie Zhan, he rarely entered the palace with Xin Muyuan, and he was not familiar with Xiaocui, only a general impression of having met.
Xiao Cui sorted out her demeanor and introduced herself to him without hurry: "My name is Xiao Cui, and I am the palace maid of Du Guifei of Xiuli Pavilion. The concubine heard today that Liying was in trouble and lacked Yun Jin, and she knew that Boss Xin didn't like to owe favors, so she specially ordered me to secretly send Yun Jin when I was a child. ”
Mu Yi looked back and believed it.
Xiao Cui saluted and slowly left with the people.
Mu Yi returned to the yard, jumped to the tree and picked up a night pearl, hugged it in front of the tight cloth that was wrapped, squatted on the ground and carefully checked the cloud brocade brought by Du Mingyue, and after confirming that there was no problem, he wrapped the things in their original shape, put them in the warehouse and put them away, and returned the things when Xin Muyuan woke up.
Xin Mu Yuanyin was about to pick up people at the city gate, and the first sound of the golden rooster crowed turned over, got dressed, and when he went out, he found Mu Yi sitting at the stone table in the courtyard with his head resting.
Xin Muyuan tiptoed over, took off his cloak and put it on Mu Yi's body.
With a sinking of his shoulders, Mu Yi woke up, and his cloudy eyes immediately sobered up after seeing Xin Muyuan.
The sleepiness in the dark eyes dissipated, and there was clarity.
Xin Muyuan said softly, so that her voice would not be too harsh in Mu Yi's ears: "Why are you sleeping here?" It's dawn, go back and rest. I'm awake and I'm going to be fine. ”
He pulled Xin Muyuan's clothes, roughly compared them, and told her that Du Mingyue's maidservant Xiaocui had come yesterday.
Xin Muyuan was slightly surprised, but now was not the time to deal with these things.
Her people had almost arrived at the city gate, and she was worried that the Chamber of Commerce would intercept her, so she had to meet Pei Wen earlier, so she walked outside Qinxin Garden without looking back.
Mu Yi gave up and went back to rest, went with her, and explained the reason why Xiao Cui came yesterday on the way.
Xin Muyuan bowed his head and asked, "Is there a problem with the cloth?" ”
Mu Yi compared: I have checked inch by inch, and there is no problem.
"That's good." Xin Muyuan put his mind at ease.
Du Mingyue would intervene in this matter, which was unexpected to her, but it was also reasonable.
This one has always been big. After knowing that she was Xin Ye, the woman with her legs changed her attitude one hundred and eighty degrees, and she couldn't wait to give her all the best things and tell Quan Daliang that they were the best sisters.
Especially in front of the emperor.
At this time, he took out Yunjin to support her, I am afraid that he wants to get a good impression of her and gradually let himself relax his vigilance against her.
Xin Muyuan did not hesitate to give her the opportunity to get closer.
"Du Guifei has a straightforward temperament, although her talent is not as good as that of Luo Guiren, she dances a good sword. Some time ago, I had nothing to do, so I asked the craftsman to build a software for me, and the Daliang Dynasty was unique. Find a time to send this unbladed sword. ”
After a pause, he said: "Send the emperor a few more sweaty and bloody horses, I see that the few horses that Xie Zhan pulled from the foreign court are good, and send them all." In addition, 500,000 taels of silver were allocated from Qingsu's account to the state treasury. If the emperor asked, he would say that it was to thank the concubine for her help to me today. ”
