Chapter 38 Hongmen Banquet, Entertain the Princess for the Palace
"Hehe, that Gu Li, you have a good rest here, I, I'll go back first." Mu Qianxia laughed dryly twice and took the lead in breaking the silence.
"You can't go back." Gu Li stared at Mu Qianxia and said word by word.
"Huh? Why? Mu Qianxia asked puzzled.
"There's someone guarding outside." Although Gu Li didn't say what the outsiders were guarding, she quickly understood what Gu Li meant.
"Well, then I'll go sleep outside."
"No need, you can sleep here, I'll go outside, I just have some things to deal with."
"Oh, okay." Mu Qianxia now can't wait for Gu Li to leave quickly, now there are only the two of them in this room, coupled with the ambiguous atmosphere around her, she feels very uncomfortable.
Gu Li looked at Mu Qianxia and smiled nonchalantly, then turned around and left.
Mu Qianxia's hanging heart finally fell, fortunately Gu Li didn't embarrass her, otherwise she didn't know what to do, when she thought of sleeping with a man around her, she couldn't accept it now when she thought about it. Mu Qianxia was distraught and blew out the candle and went to bed. After a tiring day, she fell asleep as soon as she put on the pillow.
Gu Li heard the sound of Mu Qianxia's even breathing outside, raised his head, looked in the direction where Mu Qianxia was, hooked his lips and smiled, his expression was gentle, and then he continued to lower his head to deal with government affairs.
…………
The woods on the outskirts of Beijing, in the dead of night.
The woman in black led everyone to wait in place, watching the figure in the distance slowly approaching, and immediately knelt down respectfully. "Subordinates participate in Childe."
The slender figure wearing a bronze mask stopped, his expression and appearance were difficult to guess, "Get up." ”
"Thank you, Childe."
"How much is the total loss today?"
"Hui Gongzi, a total of four hundred and thirty-seven people, all of them are locked up in the dungeon in Gu Li's mansion. Fear...... It's hard to salvage. ”
"I didn't even think about saving these things after I used them. Next time you need it, you can catch it again. ”
"But...... Recently, Gu Li has been strictly guarding the capital, and he is afraid that arresting people is also a problem. ”
"If the capital is not good, then change the area around the capital. As long as it is eligible, it will be caught by this son! ”
"Yes, the subordinates understand, the subordinates will do it!"
"Hmm."
"It's just, Childe, why are you doing this today?" The woman in black, who had already gotten up to leave, turned back again.
"Being able to add to Gu Li's blockage on such a big event as the wedding, Ben Gongzi is very happy to think about it, but it's a pity that Ben Gongzi didn't see his expression at that time."
"Childe, but if we do this, it will undoubtedly speed up our exposure."
"Is it early? Ben Gongzi has been waiting for this day for too long. ”
"Childe ......"
"You don't have to say much, my son has his own measure."
The woman in black couldn't say anything more when she heard this, so she bowed and stepped back.
…………
Early the next morning, Mu Qianxia was woken up early by Liuli, and was combed by Liuli in a daze.
"Princess, Your Highness is waiting for you outside for breakfast, and you still need to enter the palace with Your Highness in a while."
"Ah, it's so troublesome, can I not go?" Mu Qianxia looked at Liuli pitifully and said.
"Princess......" Liuli said earnestly.
"Okay, okay, I know, don't talk about it, or you'll have to tell me a long story." Mu Qianxia didn't wait for Liuli to continue, so she hurriedly interrupted.
"By the way, Liuli, you can move my things back to Peony Garden in a while, and I will still live there in the future."
Liuli immediately dissuaded: "Princess, how can this work, you and Your Highness have worshiped heaven and earth, they are a righteous husband and wife, and it is a matter of course to live together, if you move back to the Peony Garden after you get married, what will others think when they know about it, don't talk about the people in the house, I am afraid that people outside will chew the root of their tongues everywhere after they know, how will you raise your head in this capital in the future."
"Liuli, you just do what I say, I understand all the truths you say, but I've never been the kind of person who cares about what others say, go your own way, let them say go, as long as I live comfortably, the rest is not within my consideration."
"Princess, Your Highness won't agree to anything like you." Liuli had to retreat to the next authentic.
"He'll agree, you just have to do what I say."
Even though Liuli was dissatisfied in her heart and unwilling to do so, she had no choice but to nod.
…………
After entering the palace, Mu Qianxia first went to meet the emperor with Gu Li, the emperor's body looked much worse than before, although it had not been long since she first met the emperor, the emperor looked much older and weaker than he had been. After she accompanied the emperor for a while, she retired first, because the queen invited her to come over. However, Gu Li still had some things to report to his father, and he couldn't go with her, so he carefully told Mu Qianxia a few words, claiming that he would go to her after he finished talking to his father.
Mu Qianxia was thinking about what the queen was looking for her in the past, since the first time they met, the queen has been targeting her everywhere, calculating her carefully, and there will definitely be no good things waiting for her when she asks her to come over this time, so she must be careful to beware.
Soon, they arrived at the Imperial Garden, where the Empress was waiting for her. Mu Qianxia found in the past that there were many people in it, all of whom were harem concubines she was not familiar with, and there were even many official ladies and ladies.
The queen saw Mu Qianxia's figure early, hooked her lips and sneered, and said, "Concubine Shu, treat the palace well for a while, especially the princess."
"Yes, sissy." Concubine Shu smiled skillfully.
"Yo, isn't this our departure from the princess, come here, just wait for you, today the queen held a banquet, specially invited a lot of official ladies and ladies, just want to take this opportunity to give the princess a good introduction, everyone will meet often in the future, it is good to familiarize yourself with it in advance."
"Thank you to the queen mother, the queen mother bothered." Mu Qianxia slowly gave a salute and said.
The queen stepped forward, grabbed Mu Qianxia's arm, and said with a smile: "We will be a family in the future, and the queen mother should do these things, although there was a slight misunderstanding when we met for the first time, the palace will not take it to heart."
"What did the queen mother say, everything was shallow and bad at the beginning, and I hope that the queen mother can be an adult and not remember the villain, and don't hold a grudge against the shallow." Mu Qianxia laughed with her, and secretly scolded herself, this queen suddenly treated her so well today, what is the so-called thing, she will not believe that the queen is really as kind as she is, and likes her so much.
"Hehe, how can it be, it's rare to see a woman as smart and lively as Qianqian, it's too late for the queen mother to like you, how can she hold a grudge against you."
Everyone chatted with each other while following the steps of Concubine Shu, and came to Concubine Shu's palace, Concubine Zhen is now the most favored concubine of the emperor, so the palace is undoubtedly luxurious and spacious, all the exquisite furnishings make many people can't take their eyes off, whenever someone admires, she smiles and says that it is rewarded by the emperor.
However, Mu Qianxia is not interested in this, Concubine Shu's furnishings here can only be regarded as treasures, but they are not rare treasures, which are not at all comparable to her previous princess's mansion, not to mention the current palace of the princess.
"What's wrong with the princess, is it that you're not interested in these?" In Mu Qianxia's indifferent expression, Concubine Shu suddenly spoke.
Mu Qianxia shook her head, "Niangniang, everything here is very good, people can't take their eyes off, I was just thinking, which one should be better." ”
Concubine Shu raised her chin proudly, this eldest prince of Western Chu knew more than she imagined!
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Okay, all the sisters and ladies in this palace have also visited, so let's go to the imperial garden again."
Mu Qianxia has no opinion on the location, anyway, no matter where she is, it is the same boring. She just wants time to pass faster now, even if she doesn't say a word with Gu Li, it's much better than following these people around.
However, what she didn't expect was that she would meet Gu Chenru who saved her for the first time in the Imperial Garden.
"Princess, where are you going?" Concubine Shu stepped forward with a smile.
"Hehe, I'm just too bored and bored to be alone, so I want to find a place with a lot of people to have a good time."
"Then here it is, there's a lot of people here. You are the emperor's most precious daughter, and this palace can't let you get bored. ”
Just when they were chatting happily, several palace maids in Concubine Shu's palace suddenly ran out and whispered a few words into Concubine Shu's ear.
Concubine Shu's face changed, "What did you say!" ”
The palace maids knelt down with a plop, "Niangniang, the slave doesn't know what's going on!" ”
The master and servant sang and harmonized, and everyone looked at them in surprise.
"Concubine Shu, what's wrong?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Yes, Niangniang, what do you have to say, maybe the concubines and others can help?"
Everyone, you and I say a word, Mu Qianxia suddenly had a bad premonition when she looked at Concubine Shangshu towards her.
…………
Hanyan couldn't remember how long she had been in this cabin, although Mu Xiaoxi's wounds had not deteriorated further, her wounds were also good and bad, although sometimes she could even talk to him awakely, but most of the time she was in a coma.
I don't know if it's too hard to find here, it's been so long since he released the signal flare, but his guards still haven't found it, Mu Xiaoxi's body can't hold it anymore, if it goes on like this, even if she doesn't die, her brain will be burned out by the continuous low-grade fever, so no matter whether he can wait for his guards or not, he must take Mu Xiaoxi out of here today.
Han Yan left a letter on the table with the unique expression of himself and the guards, and after roughly stating the direction he was going, he took the things he had packed before, picked up Mu Xiaoxi, and walked outside.
During the time when Han Yan was in Mu Xiaoxi's coma, he looked for an exit countless times a day, but the surroundings were either barren or densely forested, and there was no easy way to walk. But just yesterday, he found a river in a cave not far away, and there were fish in the river, which was living water, indicating that if he walked along this river, he would definitely find an outlet.
In this way, with the confusion of the unknown future, Hanyan carried Mu Xiaoxi along the river and walked out little by little.
