Chapter 135: The Coming Storm (Part II)
In the Queen's Palace, Miss An secretly looked at Mu Qingfeng with a shy face, smiling like a flower.
Mu Qingfeng sat opposite indifferently, ignoring the queen's constant hints.
"Feng'er, didn't the queen mother remember that you said that you were going to Hanshan Temple today, and it just so happened that Miss An was also going to pray for blessings, so it was better for you to go with her."
Miss An's face was suddenly filled with a shy smile, and she hurriedly raised her eyes to look at Mu Qingfeng, and said softly, "It's really troublesome for the third prince." ”
"When did I say I was going to go with you?" With a light tap of the folding fan in his hand, Mu Qingfeng raised a lazy smile.
The queen's face froze, glared at him, and then turned to Miss An and smiled, "This palace almost forgot, he will go to the emperor later, and next time this palace will let him accompany you." ”
Before Miss An could reply, Mu Qingfeng's mocking voice came again, "When is Erchen going to his father's place, Erchen doesn't want to watch a play here, so I'll go back first." ”
He got up, his robe was flipped, and the queen's face was gloomy, today he originally wanted to let the two of them cultivate their relationship well, but who knew that the wind was like this.
Miss An was even more dissatisfied, her eyes were full of tears, as if they would fall at any time, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was even more distressing.
She sobbed, her posture was gentle, and she saluted slightly, "Queen Mother, the courtiers are a little unwell, so they will retreat first, and come back another day to greet the mother." ”
The queen sighed and nodded.
Out of the palace, Miss An was anxious to find Mu Qingfeng's figure.
The palace maid at the door pointed to a position, and Mu Qingfeng happened to pass by, still holding a jade pendant in his hand.
Miss An hurriedly ran over with her skirt, Mu Qingfeng glanced at her sideways, and continued to walk expressionlessly.
"The Three Princes and so on!" Seeing that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther, she stopped and shouted to him, "I have something to say to you, about Miss Shen!" ”
Sure enough, Mu Qingfeng stopped, and Miss An's heart was sour, not knowing whether to be happy for letting him stop, or sad because of Shen Mei's weight in his heart.
She smiled bitterly and slowly moved her steps, Mu Qingfeng frowned slightly, and walked directly to meet her.
Miss An put away the sadness on her face and said softly, "I know that the third prince doesn't like me, and I won't force you to marry me, I can't do the thing of beating mandarin ducks, so I will take the initiative to tell the queen mother that I won't come to pester you again." ”
Mu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, waiting for her next words, he just wanted to know what was wrong with Mei'er now.
For the past few days, he has endured not to see her, but the more time passes, the more he misses her.
The precipitation again and again made him almost collapse, and he just wanted to hug Shen Mei into his arms.
Chapter 106: Imprisoned
"Miss Shen has been taken away now, I'm afraid you can go in time now." Miss An was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so she explained, "I saw the Royal Forest Army on the road, so I took a few more looks, but I actually saw Miss Shen." ”
She deliberately didn't tell him before, and she was still hesitating, if she told him, she was afraid that she wouldn't even have a chance to meet him.
Miss An smiled bitterly, only sour in her heart, hoping that she would not regret this decision in the future.
"What?"
Mu Qingfeng was stunned, why did she need to dispatch the Imperial Forest Army, not to mention, Shen Mei was just a weak woman who was powerless.
He didn't have time to consider the authenticity of this matter, turned around and was about to leave, Miss An was busy behind him and said, "She is in the Qinzheng Palace!" ”
……
Liu Rou knelt in the main hall, the silence around her was a little terrifying, she continued to maintain the smile on her face, and let the emperor look back and forth on her.
Now that Shen Mei is already a defeated general under her own, as long as she pleases the emperor, she can also be the master.
She couldn't help but smile smugly as she thought about it.
Emperor Wu glanced at her deeply, and suddenly spoke, "If I am not mistaken, you said that you and Shen Mei are confidants. ”
"Back to the emperor, the slave didn't know that she was a monster before, if she had known earlier, she would definitely not have had too much contact with her, thinking of the strange things that happened to the slave and maid before, now I finally have an explanation."
Liu Rou said with a sincere face, and there was a little grievance in her words, as if she was the most innocent person.
She thought back to the past, the days when she was ridiculed, and she had had enough.
Emperor Wu saw a lot of intrigue in the harem, so he just glanced at Liu Rou lightly.
She didn't say anything wrong, she would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go, so he ordered to catch Shen Mei, which doesn't mean that he will believe that Shen Mei is a monster.
For a long time, Emperor Wu didn't speak, and Liu Rou didn't dare to raise her head, so she could only continue to kneel on the ground and hold her breath.
Father-in-law Yu on the side glanced at Emperor Wu suspiciously, he had been serving by the emperor's side for more than ten years, how could he not see what the emperor was thinking today.
After another while, Emperor Wu slowly spoke, "What do you want, you have merit, I can reward you as appropriate." ”
Liu Rou was overjoyed, and hurriedly pinched herself, still calm on the surface, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave just did what she did, how dare she ask for a reward." ”
"Since you know the general situation so well, then I can't embarrass you anymore." Emperor Wu continued her words.
Father-in-law Yu was stunned for a while, and he didn't react for a while. What's wrong with the emperor today, according to the previous rules, shouldn't he be rewarded.
Liu Rou was also stunned, why didn't things go according to her expectations, shouldn't the emperor reward her at this time?
She gritted her teeth, could only swallow the bitterness in her stomach, and smiled unnaturally, "What the emperor said is that it is also the honor of slaves and maids to share the emperor's worries." ”
God knows how much she hates herself now for not asking for a reward directly just now, she is really dumb and eats coptis, and she can't say what she suffers.
Father-in-law Yu finally saw some signs, it seems that the emperor doesn't like Liu Rou, she is indeed too smart, and Shen Mei is friends with her, she can also do this kind of thing.
His eyes swirled on Liu Rou's body, and he smiled like a cunning old fox, and Liu Rou felt unhappy for a while.
Liu Rou was a little tender in the end, and Father-in-law Yu spoke up and said, "The miscellaneous family heard that Shen Mei was friendly with you before, how can you be sure that it is not a monster." ”
He carefully observed Liu Rou's expression, and saw that her expression flickered, and there was something wrong with her expression.
Liu Rou didn't expect the Yu Guild to suddenly ask this question, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she stammered a few words, and there was no follow-up in the future.
Father-in-law Yu can also see some signs, although Shen Mei is indeed different from ordinary people, but Liu Rou deliberately exposed her to everyone, which is really chilling.
He turned around and bowed to the emperor, and said word by word, "The slave used to often see the two walking together, talking and laughing, the slave thought, their relationship is so good, presumably Liu Rou has already known about it." ”
He deliberately didn't finish the rest of the words, giving Liu Rou a chance to react.
Emperor Wu took the opportunity to look at her deeply, and seemed to be suspicious of her.
