Chapter 197: Conviction
You really used death to coerce me! Haven't you thought that I like her, will I really be willing to punish her! When did your brain become so elm!
The more Ye Shuqiu thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more angry he became, the more he couldn't figure it out. He roared impatiently: "Someone! Go to Anhua Palace with this prime minister! "It's been all these days, it's time for her to wake up! I went to see her, hoping to remove this anger from my heart!
"Huh..."The little eunuch who came in came in and saw the scattered twists and turns, and was a little dumbfounded, "Lord Ye... These twists and turns..."
"Pick up the frustration and put it aside! Accompany Benxiang to Anhua Palace! β
The little eunuch glanced at the sky outside the window and asked tentatively, "Lord Ye... It's so late now... I'm afraid it's not all the time..."
"Do you want to disobey the orders of the prime minister?" Ye Shuqiu was in a very bad mood, so bad that his tone was not good, so he directly shouted out and shook the little eunuch smartly.
"It's... Don't dare..."
"Don't dare, then what are you still doing here! Why don't you get ready for a carriage yet! β
"It's... Phew..."
"Get out!"
After the little eunuch really rolled out like a ball, Ye Shuqiu took a few deep breaths to calm his mood.
What's wrong with you, getting angry every time you encounter these inconsequential things? Damn it... Now I can only pin my hope for a calm mood on her.
Xi Yao, Xi Yao, don't let me down!
...
"Ahh
Inexplicably, the tip of Mu Xiyao's nose had an itch, and she actually made a sound.
"What's the matter, you're getting the wind chill again?" Qian Qianqian asked with concern.
Mu Xiyao just shook her head.
"I'm hungry, Sister Qianqian, do you have anything to eat?" She asked timidly.
"Hmm... I only had a packet of dry food on me. Do you eat? Qian Qianqian took out a steamed bun wrapped in grass blades from her arms, which had become dry and hard.
"This..."Mu Xiyao looked at the hard steamed buns, and subconsciously wanted to say not to eat them. But he lay in bed for a few days, and there was no food in his belly. And the food for three meals a day is cleaned up by a special person, and I am afraid of revealing flaws, so I have endured not eating.
But at night, the hunger pangs were irresistible.
She looked at the hard steamed bun greedily and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. As if he had made up his mind, he took the steamed bun and put it to his mouth, tore off the hard dough a little, and chewed it gently.
It's so dry, tear it into your mouth, you can't chew it...
Mu Xiyao chewed hard, frowned and swallowed the dough hard. Seeing this, Shuang'er handed over a glass of cold water from the side. She took the cold water and poured it into her shriveled stomach.
"Drink slowly."
After a drink, she just
I feel cold in my stomach. No matter how cold it is, it can't withstand the coldness.
Mu Xiyao took another bite of the dried steamed bun. Her hands trembled, and she couldn't swallow this bite no matter what.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she was so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.
When did you get this kind of treatment? But since the Southern Dynasty came in, everything has changed.
In the past, no matter how bad I was, it was also fine clothes and food, living the life of a young lady. I think that at the beginning, those warm and soft, steamed steamed buns were torn off little by little to feed those finches foraging in the air, and I had never seen them with my own eyes. But now... I was hungry, but I could only gnaw on this shriveled steamed bun. When you are thirsty, you can only drink the cool water that is only a little better than the well water.
Delicate snacks and warm tea no longer seem to belong to themselves.
Smack. Smack.
"What's wrong?" Mu Xijun asked a little strangely.
"I... I miss home..."Mu Xiyao sobbed softly, but the tears in her eyes couldn't be stopped no matter what.
Qian Qianqian glanced at Mu Xijun angrily.
Mu Xijun was even more puzzled in his heart.
"Miss..."Frost was also uncomfortable in her heart. She walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking Mu Xiyao's back, "It's uncomfortable, it's better to cry." "When has Miss suffered all this?
Maybe I'm used to living a hard life, and I think it's nothing these days, but... Miss used to be the second miss of Mufu after all, when did she eat dry steamed buns and drink them cold and white?
"I... I'm fine..."Mu Xiyao gently wiped the corners of her red eyes, put down the steamed bun that left two tooth marks, and said in a low voice: "I... I'm full, thank you Sister Qianqian..."
"Xi Yao..."Qian Qianqian was about to comfort her with something, when she suddenly heard a summons outside the house.
"Lord Ye has arrivedβ"
"Quick! Xi Yao, lie down! β
Everyone was scrambling to clean up everything in the house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Mu Xiyao lay down and closed her eyes, Ye Shuqiu stepped in.
The first thing that caught his eye was Mu Xiyao's reddish corners of her eyes, as well as the tears that had not yet had time to dry.
Ye Shuqiu paused slightly in everyone's inadvertent.
She cried?
"That's... Lord Ye Xiang, I don't know what is the purpose of coming to Anhua Palace at such a late hour? Mu Xijun was also helpless, so he stepped forward and asked.
No way, who called himself the only man in this house?
At this time, Ye Shuqiu's attention was all on the dry food that left two tooth marks. He frowned, looked at Mu Xiyao, and then looked at the people in the room. He asked, "Is it so bad for dinner here?" This steamed bun..."
He originally wanted to say that this steamed bun is too dry, so it is better to lose it.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xijun jumped over with a brisk step, stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, chewed the dry steamed bun with three times and five divided by two, and said hesitantly: "Ha, tile, tile wipe eat (what, I'm not full)." β
"Oh." Ye Shuqiu felt a little disgusted in his heart. He glanced at Mu Xijun, turned his head, and instructed the little eunuch beside him: "I will ask the cook to make some medicinal porridge later, if you want candied fruit, you must not be too bitter, if you are discovered by your true appearance, redo it!" β
This... What are you doing here?
The little eunuch was ordered so that the second monk was confused, but he still nodded and bowed, "Hey, the little one will go and order!" β
Medicated porridge?
Everyone was stunned.
The little eunuch had just run out for a while before he ran in again, panting and asking, "Ye... Lord Ye! The imperial dining room, the imperial dining room asks how many people to make? β
"One serving is enough." Ye Shuqiu's tone was a little indifferent.
It turned out that Lord Ye wanted to take medicinal porridge? The little eunuch was a little stunned, and he hurriedly ran to give orders again.
Ye Shuqiu's eyes under the mask glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "Later, the prime minister will ask the palace maid to send the medicinal porridge." Also, let the one in bed wake up quickly and ask for trial tomorrow! After saying that, he turned around and left, and did not say who this bowl of medicinal porridge was for.
Qian Qianqian and the others looked at each other.
This...
"Hmm, hmm, hmm!" At this time, Mu Xijun, who had eaten the dried steamed buns, dared to make a sound.
Qian Qianqian turned her head to look, handed over a glass of cold water, and scolded him with a smile and anger: "No one robs you!" Eat slowly! β
"Hoo ββ!" Mu Xijun, who swallowed the steamed bun until it was soft, gasped, "I'm not, aren't I afraid that Xiyao will be discovered!" Oh my God, this steamed bun almost choked me to death! β
"I think... Mademoiselle may have been discovered..."
Frost, who was standing on the side, said faintly.
"It's... Why?! Mu Xijun's eyes widened. That... Didn't he swallow a dry steamed bun for nothing just now?!
Shuang'er pursed her lips and didn't make a sound.
"Let's talk about it..."I don't know when, Mu Xiyao has opened her eyes. This Ye Shuqiu... As if he knew me very well, he didn't talk about the medicinal porridge. But he just said that he wanted to add candied fruit, and it was not allowed to be too bitter... As you all know, medicinal porridge has a bitter taste no matter what..."There was a slight bitterness in her mouth.
For some reason, she thought back to the past few days, and the treatment of herself and others may not be that the heart named Ye Shuqiu is compassionate. If you think about it, it seems... Everything he does is because of himself...
However, I have only heard of this person, when have I interacted with this person?
I don't know this person at all, but this person knows himself and the other... Even to
to the point of obedience.
Why is that?
Mu Xiyao looked up helplessly at the window.
Outside the window, there was only a gloomy night, and the low chirping of flying insects.
"That's right, this person..."Qian Qianqian and the others also felt that this thing was getting more and more strange.
It's another morning.
Today, for the first time, the morning dynasty was not opened, but Mu Xiyao and others were directly summoned to the court.
Looking at this familiar and unfamiliar court, Mu Xiyao and the other four people felt a little sad and sad in their hearts.
"Wait a few people! Do you know what sin you have committed! The sound of the wood startled them back to reality.
"We... What are we guilty of?! β
Mu Xiyao and Shuang'er were a little stunned, only Qian Qianqian and Mu Xijun calmly asked the people above.
The emperor sitting on the dragon chair was also stunned by the question. He looked at Ye Shuqiu pleadingly, "Ye Xiang... You see this... They don't seem to think they're guilty. β
"Since they have been arrested, it is naturally justified." Ye Shuqiu under the mask couldn't see a trace of emotion. "Meng Huang! Read! β
"Yes, Lord Ye!" Meng Huang respectfully saluted Ye Shuqiu, opened a golden payment document, and read aloud: "Mu Xiyao, the second lady of the original Mu Mansion, has a forbidden obsession in the law of the Great Liang in the courtyard!" It's a crime! Mu Xijun, the eldest son of the original Mufu, worked with the original Mufu Mu Junlan to plot against him! Ben is a capital offense! In view of the good behavior afterwards, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped! β
Mu Xiyao lowered her head, unable to see the expression on her face.
And Mu Xijun slammed a spirit and shouted: "The little people are wronged!" Xiaomin doesn't remember any rebellion at all! Please be enlightened! β
"Bold!" Meng Huang scolded angrily: "Could it be that Lord Ye personally checked the matter that would be wrong!?" β
"I..."Mu Xijun was speechless for a while. He collapsed limply to the ground.
This crime has even been confirmed by Ye Xiang, what else do you have to say? Once you sit down, your life is over.
"The first-class maid in the courtyard of the former second lady of Mufu, now Xiao Shuang'er, the righteous daughter of the former Mrs. Mufu, and Qian Qianqian, the eighth lady of the original Qian Mansion! Harbouring court repeat offenders! Coplicity! Meng Huang looked at the payment and continued, "It is now announced!" Mu Xijun is far away from the border pass! Qian Qianqian, Mu Xiyao, Xiao Shuang'er and other three! Go to jail! Waiting for the next round of interrogation! Chin this! β
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Ye Xiang Chitose Chitose Chitose! β
"Wait! The folk girl has objections! β

Wonderful!
