Chapter 20 I can't help myself
Fang Lanzhi's matter came to an end for the time being, as for the cold palace, after Yan Qinghan left, Yan Qinghan ordered someone to seal it up, and no one else was allowed to approach.
As for Mu Sheng, Dongchuan's disaster can no longer be delayed, she has to think of a way to know Dongchuan's situation at this time as soon as possible, and now only Xiaoyi can help her.
The first thing she had to do was to think of a comprehensive way to get herself out of the palace.
While I was thinking about it, I had good news.
"Niangniang, the emperor said that there is something important to discuss with Niangniang, and let Niangniang go to Chongzheng Palace." A maidservant arrived.
"Bengu knows, you go down." Mu Sheng said lightly.
Mu Sheng thought all the way on the way there, and was full of expectations that it was Xiaoyi who entered the palace, so Yan Qinghan summoned her.
When Mu Sheng pushed the door and entered, when she saw the familiar white-clothed figure, she didn't know how happy she was, and sure enough, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and God prayed for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Master." Mu Sheng said softly.
"Master, why did you enter the palace?"
"Miss Mu, the master of Xiaomen is here to take you out of the palace." Yan Qinghan said for Xiaoyi first.
"Out of the palace? May I? As soon as he heard this word, Mu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he was full of anticipation at first glance.
"Two days will be your little brother's birthday, and he is looking forward to your return, so I specially came to ask the emperor for permission."
"Then did the emperor agree?" Mu Sheng said and secretly observed Yan Qinghan's reaction.
Yan Qinghan smiled and said softly: "Of course I agreed, you are just for the sake of the palace, and you have not really become my concubine, how can I restrict your freedom." ”
Seeing that Yan Qinghan was so understanding, it was the first time for Mu Sheng.
"But now so many pairs of eyes are on us? Isn't that really inappropriate? Mu Sheng thought about it for a while, and said worriedly.
"The affairs in the palace will be resolved, so you can go with the master of Xiaomen."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty."
Out of the Chongzheng Palace, Mu Sheng seemed to thank the jack, and he was much happier.
The two quickly left the palace, and it was not until they went out of the city gate and entered the dense forest on the outskirts of the city that the two of them let down their guard slightly.
"Something happened to Dongchuan, do you know?"
Before Mu Sheng could speak first, Xiaoyi opened his mouth and asked.
"I know, I heard Qi Guang mention it by chance, and I was trying to figure out how to tell you, who knew that you entered the palace today."
"Well, I don't know if you know, so I can only enter the palace."
Seeing Xiaoyi's worried appearance, a burst of warmth rose in Mu Sheng's heart, fortunately with him, otherwise she really didn't know what to do this time.
Then, the two quickened their pace and rushed back to Qingxiao.
After returning to Qingxiao, the two went straight to the study to discuss the matter of returning to Dongchuan.
As soon as he entered the study, Chen Yi was dressed in an inky black robe as always, leaning against the table, waiting for the two quietly.
"Mu Sheng, how does it feel to be the emperor's concubine?" Even this mouth is as annoying as ever.
If it was Mu Sheng in the past, he would definitely scold him, but since he learned about Xiaoyi and him, Mu Sheng didn't hate him as much as before.
"If you like it, you can try it and see how."
Hearing Mu Sheng's counterattack, Chen Yi felt a lot more novel, "It's only been a few days since I entered the palace, and this mouth has become so poisonous, it deserves to be the most poisonous woman's heart!" ”
"Okay, Chenyi, don't talk about it anymore, let's get down to business." Xiaoyi knew that Mu Sheng was in a bad mood now, so naturally he couldn't let Chen Yi go on endlessly, so he opened his mouth to stop him.
"I have already inquired, the disaster situation in Dongchuan is relatively serious among the kingdoms in the southeast, and because they are no longer affiliated with the Wan Dynasty, they cannot get the assistance of the Wan Dynasty, and their own financial and material resources for disaster relief are far from enough."
Chen Yi is playing, but he is serious about doing things, and the efficiency is also very high, he went to the southeast early in the morning to inquire about the situation, but he and Mu Sheng and they returned to Qingxiao on the front and back.
Chen Yi's words undoubtedly made Mu Sheng even more worried, her eyebrows had been twisted into a deep Sichuan character at this time, and she couldn't wait to fly to Dongchuan now.
"No, I have to go back to Dongchuan, I can't rest assured that my father and the emperor will not be able to leave them, as well as the people of Dongchuan." Mu Sheng's tone revealed anxiety.
"Don't worry, when Chen Yi went to inquire about the situation, he had already sent a group of disciples to stay there to take care of the suffering people, even if you want to go, we have to think of a foolproof strategy, besides, it is too early to let the King of Dongchuan know that you are still alive."
Mu Sheng calmed down and thought about it, thinking that Xiaoyi's words were not unreasonable, even if he hurried away now, what could he do, and he might expose his identity and lose his previous efforts.
Just when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, Chen Yi seemed to have an idea, "It's not that there is no way, it's just to gamble." ”
"Bet on what?" Mu Sheng asked.
"What is Yan Qinghan's reaction when he hears that the real Du Ruosheng appears?"
"What do you mean by that?" Mu Sheng was puzzled.
"If someone sees the real Du Ruosheng appear in Dongchuan, do you guess Yan Qinghan will allocate funds for disaster relief in Dongchuan?"
"No, it's too risky!" Xiaoyi objected.
"But is there any other way now?" Chen Yi asked rhetorically.
Looking at the current situation, it seems that there is no better solution than this, although Xiaoyi is unwilling but helpless, he can only agree.
"However, you still can't go back to Dongchuan, what you have to do is to obediently return to the palace in two days and continue to be your concubine, and I will arrange for someone similar to you to return to Dongchuan, and then I will release the news and see how Yan Qinghan reacts."
"Won't there be any problems with that?"
"Whether you have it or not, you can only give it a try."
……
On the second day, the trio began according to the plan. Chen Yi really found a woman who was somewhat similar to Mu Sheng out of nowhere, and the two prepared their bags and set foot on the road to Dongchuan.
When Mu Sheng said goodbye to the two of them, her heart was still tightly pinched, and she didn't know whether she was worried or happy, but Xiaoyi had been comforting her on the side.
And in the light of Xiaozhong, two days later it is indeed the birthday of the little junior brother Xu Ling, counting the time, the day when Mu Sheng returned to the palace happened to be the day when the two arrived in Dongchuan, I just hope that everything can go smoothly.
Soon, it was Xu Ling's birthday, and sure enough, when Xu Ling saw Mu Sheng, not to mention how happy he was, he held Mu Sheng's hand for a long time and refused to let go.
"Senior sister, Master said that you left Qingxiao to deal with big things, I thought Senior Sister wouldn't come back to see me."
"How can Xu Ling's birthday sister not rush back, after her birthday, she is a year older, and her senior sister can't be by your side to accompany you, so you have to listen to the master, uncle and brothers, you know?"
"Xu Ling knows that Xu Ling will definitely remember what Senior Sister said."
Mu Sheng still remembers the first time she saw Xu Ling, Xu Ling was crying because she was angry with the other senior brothers, and when she handed him lotus seed candy to comfort him, he still stubbornly said, "Master said that a manly man can't love to cry and love candy", which made Mu Sheng couldn't help laughing.
But in the end, he still took the candy, and said that it was the last time he cried and the last time he ate sugar, but then he didn't know how many times he cried at Mu Sheng's place, and how much he begged for candy.
The Musheng class doesn't like sweets, but then he always carries sugar.
After their birthday, Mu Sheng and Xiaoyi sat on the roof looking at the starry sky and talked about their hearts.
"Although Xu Ling has not been with you for a long time, he likes you very much."
"He has lost his mother since he was a child, and they all say that the eldest sister is like a mother, and if he looks at Xiaoxiao, he is not just a woman, maybe he regards me as a mother."
"Do you know how his parents died?"
Mu Sheng shook his head.
"When the new emperor ascended the throne, he changed the Liang system, and caught up with the bad harvest, the people were miserable, Xu Ling's parents were beaten to death by the officers and soldiers because of the insufficient payment of Liang, if it wasn't for me and Chen Yi passing by at the right time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have survived today."
Mu Sheng looked at Xiaoyi, his eyes filled with resentment.
"When the generation changes hands, it is always the people who suffer." Mu Sheng sighed.
"Therefore, from then on, I swore that I would never give up if I did not put Lu Gou to death."
"What about Yan Qinghan? Does this have nothing to do with him? ”
"At that time, he was just a puppet emperor, he was far worse than other mothers, he was wronged and debtor, my target was her mother, as for him, it was the love and grudge between you and him."
"If he hadn't killed that child, he would have called me mother by now." Mu Sheng smiled bitterly as he spoke, and stroked his flat lower abdomen.
"Maybe we're destined to take a harder path than others."
Looking at the full moon in the sky, a trace of tears slipped from the corner of Mu Sheng's eyes, and she didn't know that her relatives and best friends in Dongchuan were still fine.
On the second day, Xiaoyi sent her back to the palace as promised, and when they separated, Xiaoyi told her that she must not act rashly in the palace, and when Chen Yi had Xiaoyi, he would inform her, so that she should not worry too much.
When she returned to Huaqing Palace, Tan'er had already returned.
"Tan'er, are your injuries almost healed?" When she saw Tan'er, she cared.
"It's nothing anymore, everyone is a martial arts practitioner, and you don't know that I'm not an ordinary weak woman." Tan'er said confidently.
"yes, I'm underestimating you, aren't I?" Mu Sheng smiled.
"By the way, look at you like this, did you just come back from outside the palace?"
"Well, on my junior brother's birthday two days ago, Master was like the emperor who asked me to go back to Qingxiao, and today Master sent me back."
"I see, by the way, after that day, can you find that woman?"
"When we arrived, King Gaoping had already destroyed the secret prison, and the woman was only a little angry, and she died without saying anything."
"What!? Wouldn't that be cheaper for that King Gaoping? Tan'er said angrily.
"Okay, the emperor will have a way, you don't have to be in a hurry." Mu Sheng said with relief.
"Then tell me how you celebrate your birthday?"
"Then why don't you tell me when you and Qi Guang were happy?"
"What, I didn't!" Tan'er's cheeks flushed when Mu Sheng said it, and she was shy.
…
…
The two of you and I entered the inner sanctum, one by one. ‘
After entering the inner hall, Mu Sheng stretched out his finger and signaled Tan'er to shut up, until a stranger figure disappeared into the Huaqing Palace not far away, and then opened his mouth again, "The wall has ears, so you must be careful when you speak in the future." ”
Tan'er was slightly stunned before she reacted, "When did you notice?" ”
"As soon as you enter the palace gate." Mu Sheng is concise.
"I'm afraid what we just said and did has already been narrated in the mouth of another person."
"Royal grievances cannot be involved in a lifetime, but if they are involved, they will be involved for a lifetime." Tan'er couldn't help but sigh.
