Volume 014: The first step to take root in the palace
"Yes, the slave listens to the princess."
"Well, you can go down too, Concubine Ben just drank the medicine and is a little tired."
Mu Xue's face was still pale from illness, and the whole person looked extremely weak.
At this moment, the whole person is trapped in the warm quilt, and the sleepy insect is indeed coming.
Fei Qi carefully folded the corners of the quilt for Mu Xue, then put down the burgundy gauze tent, and went to extinguish a few candles, and the room instantly dimmed, leaving only a faltering candle flame, barely able to see.
After all this was done, Fei Qifang tiptoed back.
After closing the door, Fei Qi looked up at the dark night sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
She stood outside the door for a long time before slowly making her way to her room.
In fact, Mu Xue is not so kind.
Where is completely reluctant to be the vigil of the cold outside.
She just doesn't like to sleep when someone is guarding the outer hall across the door.
And be kind to the people around you, and think about them from the bottom of your heart.
This is Mu Xue's daily operation to buy people's hearts, and it is the first step for her to firmly take root in the palace.
Mu Xue on the bed was not asleep, and at this moment she reached out and opened the gauze tent.
Seeing the shadow on the gate gone, he breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes and went to sleep.
It's just that this Fei Qi didn't obey Mu Xue's instructions and immediately went to rest, and a few ups and downs from this Fengluan Hall to the roof of the study of the Death Palace.
Nangong Li was meditating, silently reading the mental method of the Jiuyang Divine Skill in his heart over and over again.
His Jiuyang Divine Skill has reached the eighth level, and he has already achieved great success.
It's just that he's stopped at this stage for two years, and he hasn't made any breakthroughs in the past two years, so is he really missing out on the ninth-level transformation realm?
Someone on the roof fell lightly, almost silently.
His ears moved slightly, and then he opened his eyes and saw through the ridge of the roof to see exactly where Fei Qi had fallen.
Nangong didn't know what to do, closed his eyes, and waited for the gentleman on the beam to come down.
"Lord Wang."
When he opened his eyes again, Fei Qi had already arrived in front of him.
The tone is old and serious like never before.
"What?"
Come over tonight, Fei Qi wants to report the princess's every move to the prince.
This includes every word Mu Xue has said, and even every expression Mu Xue has to describe when she speaks.
When he heard the word medical book, Nangong Li opened his eyes that were pretending to sleep.
"Medical books?"
"Yes, my lord, the princess only asks for all the medical books by name. Lord, will the slave and maid go outside early tomorrow morning to buy it for the princess? ”
The man shook his head slightly, muttered in a low voice for a while, and ordered, "This king still has a few treasures there, you can bring them to her tomorrow." ”
Fei Qi didn't expect the prince to be so generous.
"But don't be deliberate, this king doesn't know anything about this matter, understand?"
"Yes, the slave understands."
Fei Qi has been following Nangong Li for ten years, and he has been trained by him to become a cold-hearted secret guard and killer.
Don't look at her as a slave who serves people, and she doesn't know how many people she has killed behind her back.
Her hand of ice silk silkworm remnants can cut off the heads of many people.
"Lord Wang, the slave has one more thing to tell you."
"Say."
"The princess said that she has a girl named Yunzhi in the General's Mansion, who is her personal girl, and asked the slave to take someone to the General's Mansion tomorrow to pick her up."
"If you go to pick up someone, the general's wife is afraid that the matter will be exposed, and she may not release the person."
"But the princess instructed the slave maid to make sure that this matter was done, and the prince said that the general's mansion would not release him. The slave took advantage of the darkness to take people away, do you think it can be done? ”
Fei Qi thought to herself, as long as she figured out which room Nayunzhi slept in at night.
When I quietly touch it in at night, it is a matter of minutes to knock out and then resist and bring it back on my shoulder.
"You're going to be wrong. That's not what that little thing thinks. ”
After being stunned for a moment, this Fei Qi understood who the little thing in the prince's mouth was referring to.
Her heart was in a trance, and the prince spoke with a little tenderness like this, I don't know how long ago it was.
"Yes, please also ask the prince to teach me, what does the princess mean."
"She, she is counting on the people of the palace to come forward, she is going to tell the people of the general's mansion that she now has the support of the prince behind her, and it is the king who has gone to ask for someone for her."
Fei Qi gasped,
Is this really what this princess means?
This princess didn't even stand firm on her own feet, so she put her calculating eyes on the prince's head?
"Lord Wang, have you been too worried. This princess is alone in this palace, maybe she just wants the girl to come to the palace to serve her. ”
Hearing this, he glanced at Fei Qi faintly.
Nonchalant analysis: "Then the problem is even more serious." Is it because you are not good at serving? Is she wary? That's why she is in a hurry to get back to her original girl? ”
Three questions from the prince.
Fei Qiyi couldn't answer for a while, and his thinking seemed to be stuck.
She was questioned by this Nangong Li and doubted her thoughts, and hurriedly knelt down: "Please also ask the prince to make it clear."
"Tomorrow you will go to the general's mansion to ask for someone."
"Huh? Lord Wang, didn't you just say that you definitely didn't want to come? Didn't the slave and maid run away in vain? ”
"It is precisely because the General's Mansion does not let people go that the princess hates the general's wife even more. When the hatred has accumulated to a certain extent, it is time for them to cry. ”
Fei Qi's eyes lit up, and there was a sense of sudden enlightenment.
"Yes, the slave knows. But the slave had other doubts in her heart. ”
"Say."
"Lord, you just left the palace on the front foot today, and the prince on the back foot will know. Presumably the eyeliner of the prince in our palace has gone to ventilate and report again, why don't you design to catch that person and keep holding back, this is a big disadvantage to our palace. ”
If it weren't for the prince's constant forbearance, this princess would not have become like this.
The latter sentence is something that Fei Qi didn't dare to say.
When it came to this matter, an evil fire rose in Nangong Li's heart.
The tone is as cold as the frost outside the window.
"This king will clean up sooner or later, it's just that the inner line has its own internal benefits, and it's not in a hurry."
After saying this, he waved his hand and motioned for Fei Qi to retreat.
When Fei Qi retreated, the heavy snow outside had stopped, and the entire palace fell into peace.
Because there was another heavy snowfall in the middle of the night, and the temperature was extremely low.
The charcoal fire in the room was replaced with a new one, and the ice under the eaves of the roof was boiling and ticking.
Mu Xue was lying on the bed feeling uncomfortable, presumably hungry.
Aren't you hungry?
Mu Xue slept until noon this night, and even skipped breakfast.
At this moment, Mu Xue struggled to get up, touched the bell on the side, and the sound of silver bells immediately sounded in the room.
Hearing this voice, Fei Qi immediately broke into the door with someone.
Hulala suddenly came in with a lot of people waiting.
Those who were waiting to freshen up, those who were waiting to change their dressings, and those who were carrying lunch, all came.
The originally empty room was filled with people all at once.
When everything was over, Mu Xue greeted Fei Qi who was on the side: "I slept deeply, I slept until noon, have you ever been to the General's Mansion in the morning?" ”
While asking, Mu Xue waved her hand.
The sensible subordinates all retreated.
When Fei Qi heard this, he knelt down with a guilty face.
Seeing her like this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Mu Xue's lips, and the whole side face looked even more beautiful and clear.
I saw that she slowly put the medicinal food in her hand on the low table that had just been brought up, wiped her lips with a silk scarf, and took the lead in opening her mouth before Fei Qi could reply.
"The General's Mansion won't let people go, will it?"
"It's not that you won't let people go, it's just...."
Speaking of this, Fei Qi paused for a moment, and then began to tell what had happened in the General's Mansion from beginning to end.
"Princess, don't worry, early this morning, the slave maid brought a lot of gifts back to the general's mansion in your name, saying that it was the princess that your leg was injured and it was inconvenient to return to the door after three days, so she sent gifts in advance to apologize. Then the slave maid said that the princess missed Yunzhi, the maid who had been with her for a long time, and wanted her to serve by her side. ”
"And what do they say?"
The old lady who talked back and forth said that the general's wife liked the Gaoyun sliced cake made by Yunzhi very much, and she had to eat it every afternoon, so she had to leave people in the house. And said, and said...."
"What else did the old woman say?"
At this moment, Mu Xue called what is the ultimate in inconsistent performance.
The anger in her heart was sky-high, but her face was not shocked.
"She also said that she used this girl very well, although you are a princess, but after all, she is her daughter, even if you send a girl to her, it is understandable, Wan, Wan is not filial piety if you don't get married."
After speaking, Fei Qi's voice gradually became quieter, as if he was afraid that Mu Xue would send his anger to himself when he heard this.
Ran Muxue just took a deep breath, and the corners of her lips hooked up with an indifferent smile: "Heh, it's interesting." ”
If this is the old woman's original words, it can only mean that the old woman does not take this away from the palace in her eyes at all.
That's right, too.
If she took it seriously, she wouldn't have deceived the king into marrying her instead.
And the old woman's ability to fight a rake is not small.
Listening to the meaning of this, it seems that if Mu Xue forcibly asked people back, it would be her fault, and she would have lost her filial piety.
Isn't it just to let Yunzhi be obedient in the palace and not to make trouble about being married off?
On the day of the sedan chair, they said that they would cooperate obediently, but they still didn't let go.
What about this trust between people?
However, Mu Xue didn't sigh either, as if she had calculated this result from last night's time when she said this.
"Princess, it is the slave who has the great trust of the princess, and I ask the princess for your forgiveness."
"Concubine Ben is not angry, that old woman has been working for the tiger in the General's Mansion for so many years, and there are naturally many means, how can the person she want to pinch in the palm of her hand let you bring it back easily. I'm just worried that Yunzhi will suffer alone in the General's Mansion. ”
When Fei Qi heard this, he hurriedly relieved: "Princess, don't worry too much, the slave maid came over with a lot of gifts from the palace early this morning, saying that it was your reward for the princess." Then those people brought Yunzhi out, and the slave and maid saw that she was still alive, without the slightest injury, the princess, you can rest assured. ”
