Chapter 15 Surnames
Mu Yunqi's days were quite stable, but Situ Jing's days were not peaceful.
As soon as he came back, his daughter-in-law cried to him that his sister had offended the King of Qin and was sent to a brothel, which made General Zuo furious and vowed to fight to the death with the King of Qin.
The women in the inner courtyard of King Qin's mansion are not fuel-efficient lamps, since King Qin's wedding, he has never been seen in this inner courtyard, these women are lonely, guessing, and there are also those who dare to go to Mu Yunxuan for trouble, but no matter how much they toss, they can't toss Situ Jing back. Now that Situ Jing is encountering ** trouble, these women are better watching the fire from the other side, and the rest are beginning to move to contact their families to calculate Situ Jinglai.
The first to act was Qin Xin'er, the sister of the soldier squire, she was the first lady to stay in the Qin Palace, when she first came, Situ Jing loved her in every way, gave her what she wanted, did what she wanted, and stayed in her room every night. Several of the former concubines stood aside. She also thought that with her posture and means and His Royal Highness's favor for her, one day she would be able to become a princess.
never thought that with the appearance of one woman after another, Situ Jing's favor for her was weakening day by day, and even her status could not catch up with the daughter of a foreigner. The pent-up resentment in her heart exploded at this time, and she urged her brother to write a letter to impeach the King of Qin with General Zuo on charges of embezzling military salaries.
Situ Jing once embezzled military salaries from his military subordinates to attack neighboring countries when he was hit by a disaster at a border pass. The war against the neighboring country was badly defeated, and the matter was secretly suppressed by General Zuo and the squire of the military department, and the emperor only punished Situ Jing for the crime of defeat.
Now, these two people are also doing whatever it takes to bring this matter out, in order to bring down King Qin, even if they can't bring him down, they want him to know that they are not easy to mess with, and the women of their family are not easy to bully.
When Chu Yuan came to Mu Yunqi, she was dealing with work, and the officials had a lot of assessments to deal with at the end of the year. She was very strange when she saw Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan arched his hand to her and said, "Young Master Yun, General Zuo and Lord Qin of the Military Department have sent a challenge to His Highness, and His Highness has been sent to the Heavenly Prison at this time. ”
Mu Yunqi couldn't help frowning, "It's only been a few days, why did he run into the prison." ”
"Young Master Yun", Chu Yuan said in a reluctantly accentuated tone, "You are also a guest of His Royal Highness, can you think of a way." ”
Mu Yunqi dragged his cheeks and thought for a while and said, "There is no way, he asks for more blessings." ”
Chu Yuan was so angry with her that he turned around and left.
As soon as Chu Yuan left, Situ Xi arrived, "You are really ruthless and unjust, Situ Jing just had an accident, you plan to clear up the relationship, right?" ”
"It really has nothing to do with me." Mu Yunqi said with a glare.
Situ Xi pinched his eyebrows, "Lord Yun, it's good for us to take a step to speak." ”
Mu Yunqi turned around and walked out, and said, "Your Highness, come with me." ”
Situ Xi followed him into the Guijun Pavilion, this kind of place was the first time he came, to be honest, he was very uncomfortable, but he said calmly: "I didn't know that Yun Gongzi still has this hobby." ”
Mu Yunqi glanced back at him and said with a meaningful smile: "Your Highness can also have such Yaxing." ”
Situ Xi coughed and said: "This king is not a man, not to mention that he already has a wife at home, so it is really not suitable to come to this kind of place." ”
"Alright then, I'll take you through the back door later."
"And in the future, can't we change places?"
"No, let's go." , Mu Yunqi brought him into the warm pavilion and asked him to sit down and talk.
After entering the warm pavilion, Situ Xi felt that he had changed the world and was much more comfortable. Mu Yunqi ordered someone to bring tea, and then asked King Rui to take the seat, explaining: "This claustrophobic place is a place where I am alone, and the people here are also trustworthy, Your Highness can speak with confidence, by the way, His Royal Highness King Qin will go to heaven when he encounters something." ”
Situ Xi looked at her and said angrily, "You don't care." ”
Mu Yunqi took a sip of tea and said, "If I don't care, I won't be drowned by your spittle star." ”
Situ Xi shook his head helplessly and said, "Lord Yun will also be so rude, things are like this......"
Situ Xi told Mu Yunqi in detail about Situ Jing, and Mu Yunqi said with a black line on his head: "It seems that I am still in trouble." ”
Situ Xi didn't understand what she meant, and Mu Yunqi explained: "Mrs. Najia invited me to the inner courtyard the first time she saw me, and I was thinking about how Situ Jing's woman could be so bold, but now I understand. ”
Situ Xi took a sip of tea and said helplessly: "Situ Jing lost his mother since he was a child, and his father didn't want to see him, he grew up with his aunt in the palace, and his aunt was arranged by the Mu family to take care of him, so he naturally became a puppet of the Mu family, although he also established a lot of merits, but they were all completed under the command of Prime Minister Mu. ”
Situ Xi put down the teacup, looked directly at Mu Yunqi and said: "Ah Jin, he lost his mother since he was a child, and he is the worst of us princes, although he is ambitious, but it is not as good as we have a strong maternal backing, his only support is the Mu family who once had a marriage contract with him, I think this is also the reason why the Mu family wants to control him." Now that you have become his disciple, you are the only person who can help him get rid of the Mu family, so I need you, I need you to help Ah Jin, are you willing? ”
Mu Yunqi looked at the teacup in his hand and said softly: "Your Highness knows that I am not a member of the Mu family?" ”
"You're not like that."
"Not like?"
"Everyone in the Mu family has naked desires and ambitions in their eyes, as if this world is his Mu family. But you are different, your eyes are the same as Ah Jing, they are all eyes that are bound and shackled and cannot escape fate, there are sadness and unwillingness, so I believe in you. ”
"Yes, he and I are both imprisoned people, he is imprisoned by the Mu family, I am imprisoned by him, I can't escape or hide, I can only accept my fate."
"So you don't want to help him, do you?"
"It's not, it's just that you don't need me, the Mu family will take action."
"It's the Mu family again, what does the Mu family want?" Situ Xi said angrily.
"I want this world." , Situ Xi raised his head and looked at her in a daze, only to hear her continue: "I remember the founding emperor Situ Botian, he was originally a military advisor, and the real commander of the righteous army is called Mu Fengqi. In the last battle, Mu Fengqi unfortunately died, Situ Botian replaced him as the new commander of the rebel army, some people speculated that Mu Fengqi was related to Situ Botian, but there is no real evidence, so whether the surname Mu or Situ in this world is controversial, the ambition of the Mu family has never faded a point, only Mu Huaming is different, he does not like this court dispute, he has always said that whoever can bring happiness to the people of the world is the emperor. ”
"It seems that you know the Mu family very well, do you have anything to do with the Mu family?" Situ Xi is really smart.
Mu Yunqi just smiled lightly, and said calmly: "In order to be a qualified guest of His Royal Highness King Qin, these basic homework still have to be prepared. ”
Situ Xi was barely fooled by her, and then he said, "You said that the Mu family will make a move, when will it be?" ”
"Soon, will Your Highness have a way to take me to the Heavenly Prison?"
"Uh, this ...... It's not that hard, but I'll have to ask someone else to come forward. ”
Mu Yunqi saw Situ Xi's embarrassment, and said, "If His Highness is embarrassed, then give up, and I will think of other methods." ”
"It's not very difficult, it's just, alas, forget it, for the sake of Ah Jing, I'll give up my life to accompany the gentleman."
Mu Yunqi looked at him and almost choked on his own saliva, "What's the matter?" ”
