Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Way of Others Returns Their Bodies
Three years ago, one day in early spring, in the palace of the Wan Dynasty.
"Hit, hit me hard! Let you dare to stain the skirt of this county lord, and see that I don't kill you today!" "This strong and snarky is the daughter of King Gaoping - Fang Lanzhi.
At this moment, she was losing her temper because a maid in the palace soiled her newly worn brocade dress, to be precise, she walked by herself and didn't look at people, and bumped into someone, so she was stained by the soup in the maid's hand.
"The county lord spares his life, the slave maid is in a hurry to deliver soup to the queen's mother, so he accidentally bumped into the county lord, and please open the county lord and spare the slave!"
The maid trembled and begged, how could she not know that this county lord was notoriously tricky and vicious, and if she provoked her today, she was afraid that she would be more than lucky.
"Accidentally, I think you clearly did it on purpose! Why do you think that you are the queen mother, do you think I dare not do anything to you? As soon as Fang Lanzhi heard that she was the queen's person, she immediately felt disgusted, and she didn't want to let her go so easily.
"Slave... The slave didn't mean that, the county lord misunderstood. The maid hurriedly explained.
"Come on, press her for me, since she doesn't have long eyes, I gouge out her eyes and give her a long memory!"
Fang Lanzhi said viciously, and then the two servant girls who followed her stepped forward and pressed the servant girl.
"The county lord doesn't want it, the county lord doesn't want it!" The handmaid still wails and begs for mercy.
"If you want to blame yourself, why don't you look good!" A middle-aged maidservant stepped forward with a knife and spoke coldly.
Just at the last moment, a cold voice came from behind everyone: "Who is making noise here?" β
A head wearing a phoenix hairpin and a hairpin, a black and red mopping palace skirt embroidered with a golden phoenix pattern, Ying Ying's waist hung a piece of vermilion jasper, Mu Se solemn, slowly walking.
When everyone saw her, they all bowed and said, "See the queen." β
"Auntie, what are you doing to make people so anxious?" Du Ruosheng walked in front of the middle-aged maid and asked lightly.
"Back to Niangniang, I'm just dealing with an ignorant little maid, I don't want to disturb Niangniang." The middle-aged maidservant bent back and said.
Du Ruosheng looked at the maid who was kneeling on the ground, she looked frightened, and saw Du Ruosheng, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, "Niangniang, Niangniang, save the slave, the slave really didn't mean it!" β
Du Ruosheng turned around and said, "What happened?" β
Fang Lanzhi was already angry, but now that he saw that Du Ruosheng was about to overcome his momentum, he couldn't give up, stepped forward, and said sharply:
"It's your person who doesn't have long eyes and stained the skirt of the county lord, and the county lord gouged out her eyes, isn't it okay to give her a long memory?"
Du Ruosheng looked at the pampered and arrogant woman in front of her, claiming to be the county lord, and being so disrespectful to herself, she suddenly knew in her heart who she was, "Listen to the county lord, it is the people in this palace who have done something wrong, and they should be punished." β
Seeing that she softened so quickly, Fang Lanzhi suddenly became proud, "Hmph, even if you know each other, why are you still stunned, don't you do it quickly." β
"Wait, since the county lord said that he would be punished, then he should be punished together." Du Ruosheng said again.
Fang Lanzhi didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she asked impatiently, "What are you talking about?" Who else will be punished? β
Du Ruosheng approached Fang Lanzhi, with a smile on his face, and his jade finger pointed directly at her, "It's you, the county lord." β
"You're crazy, why are you punishing me!?" Fang Lanzhi said angrily.
"Because you don't understand the rules of the palace, you should be punished." Du Ruosheng's smile dissipated, and he turned to a cold voice.
"Who do you think you are, but a queen of a foreign race and relatives here, what is there to be proud of!" Fang Lanzhi still shouted.
"No matter what, this palace is also the mother of a country of ten thousand dynasties, the queen of the emperor, is the master of the East Palace, you don't teach the palace etiquette at all, you don't respect the palace at all, whether you don't put the palace in your eyes, or don't put the emperor in your eyes."
Du Ruosheng's voice was cold, and Fang Lanzhi was speechless.
"Niangniang, the county lord is still young and doesn't know etiquette, so please don't worry about her." The middle-aged maid just now stepped forward to excuse her.
Du Ruosheng is only one year older than her, and it is ridiculous to say that she is still young.
"Since my aunt knows that she is not good at etiquette, it is not good to bring her back to the house to teach etiquette, otherwise she will collide with the emperor in the future, and she will not be alone."
"Du Ruosheng, you!" Fang Lanzhi was still unwilling, but was stopped by the middle-aged maidservant, "County Lord, don't." β
"What? Can the county lord still be punished? If the county lord is just distressed about the skirt, the palace will send someone to send the new clothes to the mansion. β
Du Ruosheng said suspiciously, looking at Fang Lanzhi coldly.
"It's just a piece of clothing, you don't have to work for your mother." The middle-aged maid bowed.
"That being the case, this palace took people away."
After that, Du Ruosheng ordered the maid beside him to pick up the maid who had just begged for mercy and took it away.
Fang Lanzhi behind him gritted his teeth angrily, Du Ruosheng never thought that Fang Lanzhi would later tell Yan Qinghan about this matter upside down, and what made her even more speechless was that Yan Qinghan really believed it, and came to reprimand her.
But at that time, Du Ruosheng didn't care whether Yan Qinghan believed her or not, she just wanted to get that maid down, the goal was achieved, and she didn't care about what happened later, but she didn't expect that what Fang Lanzhi did was just the beginning.
Now that I think about it, I can only blame myself for being too simple and impulsive at that time, only doing what was in front of me, regardless of the name behind my back, and I didn't care about being splashed dirty water by a traitor behind my back, so that I ended up in a situation where no one believed me.
With a sharp woman's voice, Mu Sheng's thoughts were pulled back.
"I heard that some people are extremely dissatisfied with the food carefully prepared by Miyamoto, and they also beat the people of this palace, I don't know if Sister Zhaoyi knows about this?" Fang Lanzhi was wearing a flowing color dark flower cloud brocade palace costume, with a pink face, red lips like fire, and a pretentious look.
"The concubine has seen the concubine." Mu Sheng said with a smile on his face.
Fang Lanzhi approached and raised her hand, and before she could make the next move, she was tightly held by Mu Sheng's wrist and couldn't move.
"Du Ruosheng, you're already capable, aren't you?" Fang Lanzhi said fiercely, it could be seen that she was breaking free hard, but it had no effect.
"The concubine is so temperamental, when she comes to my palace, she doesn't know the situation, and she wants to beat someone when she raises her hand?" Mu Sheng said and shook off Fang Lanzhi's hand.
Fang Lanzhi glared angrily, "You! β
"Concubine Niangniang, if you still think that I am Du Ruosheng back then, then you probably think too highly of yourself." Mu Sheng said quietly.
"Didn't you look so self-righteous back then, and in the end it ended in tragedy from time to time, why do you think there will be anything different now?" Fang Lanzhi was not to be outdone.
"Now I'm going to pay back twice as much as you did to me! Do you need me to retrace the memories for my mother? Mu Sheng approached Dao Fang Lanzhi's ear and said it word by word.
"Du Ruosheng, I see how capable you are!" Fang Lanzhi looked at her sideways, and could hear a slight tremor in her voice.
Du Ruosheng stepped back, laughed evilly, picked up the rice bowl on the tray and ate it, Fang Lanzhi was a little stunned by his sudden move.
"Du Ruosheng, what tricks do you want to play? Don't think I'm still going to eat your last set! Fang Lanzhi asked, and seeing that she was silent, she turned around and walked directly outside the hall.
Not far from Fang Lanzhi's departure from Huaqing Palace, he ran into Yan Qinghan and his party who were coming towards him.
"Niangniang, it's the emperor." The maidservant beside Fang Lanzhi said in a low voice.
"Do you need to remind me, this palace can see it, go quickly." Fang Lanzhi scolded in a low voice.
The two were getting closer and closer, Fang Lanzhi wanted to walk over directly, but she didn't expect Yan Qinghan to stop her,
"Guifei, can't you really see my existence in your eyes?"
Fang Lanzhi's body was shocked, stopped, turned around and said slowly: "The emperor is wrong to blame the concubine, the concubine is just anxious for a while, and she didn't see the emperor." β
How could she fool Yan Qinghan with such nonsense, and even the maid beside her sweated for her.
"It's better to keep a low profile, there are some things that I don't know, it's just that I miss the love of the past, and then give you and your father a chance, if you jump out like this, it's hard to guarantee that I can't bear to go down." Yan Qing warned coldly, and then brushed his sleeves away.
"The concubine has written it down, and I send it to the emperor."
Yan Qinghan's words made Fang Lanzhi feel bad, no matter how stupid she was, she could hear the meaning between the lines, could it be that her father had taken some action from her, she wondered in her heart.
And it is no coincidence that Yan Qinghan will appear here, but Mu Sheng specially invited him here.
"Your Majesty, hurry up, otherwise my mother will not be able to do it!"
Originally, Yan Qinghan was handling affairs in the Chongzheng Palace, who wanted a maid to keep shouting outside the door.
He sent Qi Guang to inquire only to learn that it was someone from Mu Sheng's side.
The maid ran in a panic and said that her mother had been poisoned and was rolling in pain in the palace, Yan Qinghan heard it, her heart tightened, although she didn't know if it was true or not, but she still followed.
In fact, after he questioned Mu Sheng that day, he was not angry with her, but he didn't dare to see her, he was afraid that when he saw Mu Sheng, he would involuntarily regard her as Du Ruosheng.
As for grounding her, it was just because there were other things that Tan'er needed to do, and she was worried that she would get into trouble and be in danger, so she would be grounded, but she didn't expect that even though she thought she could protect her well, something happened to her.
When he arrived at Huaqing Palace, as the maid said, Mu Sheng fell to the ground with a painful expression, his lips were white, he covered his stomach, and kept humming.
Yan Qinghan picked her up horizontally and walked to the dormitory.
"What's going on? Why did your mother suddenly do this!? Yan Qinghan frowned and asked the maidservant in the palace.
"The emperor doesn't know, since the emperor ordered the mother to be grounded, no one in the imperial dining room has come to deliver the meal, saying that the mother's meal has become the concubine Niangniang's responsibility, but who knows, the food sent by the concubine Niangniang is either swishing or eaten by others."
"Who knew that after the mother ate today, she suddenly shouted abdominal pain, and the slave didn't know what to do for a while, so she rashly went to invite the emperor." The maidservant trembled and explained the reason clearly.
"Fang Lanzhi, it's her again! I see she's so tired of it! Why don't you go and get the imperial doctor here? Yan Qinghan drank.
At this time, Mu Sheng on the bed suddenly grabbed Yan Qinghan's hand, and was so weak that he said: "Your Majesty, you must not, you must not act recklessly." β
Looking at Mu Sheng's painful appearance, although Yan Qinghan was anxious, he slowly calmed down and comforted: "Don't worry, I am measured, the imperial doctor will come soon, don't talk yet." β
The imperial doctor came and administered an injection to Mu Sheng, Mu Sheng's pain gradually eased, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
"Back to the emperor, Niangniang is only caused by eating spoiled food, and she will be cured in a few days after taking the medicine, but remember not to eat unclean food." The Imperial Physician replied.
After the imperial doctor left, Yan Qinghan looked at Mu Sheng on the bed, his brows were tightened, and he blamed himself in his heart, if it wasn't for him Mu Sheng, he wouldn't have suffered such pain, why, Du Ruosheng was at the beginning, and Mu Sheng is now.
In the midst of sorrow, Mu Sheng woke up, and looked at Yan Qinghan with a worried face in front of her, she was a little surprised.
"Your Majesty, you're here."
"Well, I'm here, and I'm feeling better?" Yan Qinghan said softly.
"It's okay, the emperor doesn't have to worry." Mu Sheng said lightly.
"Sleep, I'll be there for you." Yan Qinghan said softly.
"Your Majesty, are you willing to see me, aren't you angry with me?"
"I've never been angry with you, don't think about it, I'll wake up tomorrow and talk about it."
Mu Sheng became more and more confused, he didn't know what Yan Qinghan was like facing him at this time, if he regarded himself as Du Ruosheng in the past, then why now? Isn't it possible that you like yourself? This statement is ridiculous when you think about it, how can such a cold and ruthless man like him.
At the beginning, he did not hesitate to kill his own flesh and blood with his own hands, and even buried his ashes in his mother country regardless of her honor, breaking with his mother country, all of which he did with his own hands, but now his fickle attitude towards himself is also what he did.
What is hidden in this, this warm and cold, which one is the real him, when Mu Sheng fell asleep, she thought a lot in her mind, thinking that she was very tired, it turned out that the intrigue in the royal family was so easy to get tired, thinking about it, she was really naΓ―ve and stupid at the beginning.
