174. Chapter 174

Ling Yuexi smiled faintly, put her hand into Mu Tianrong's outstretched palm, walked over, and bowed slightly to the queen. Although the woman in front of her is gorgeously dressed, with beautiful accessories, and rich and noble, she is also more delicate than she imagined, and she is also a gentle and lovely woman.

Empress Xianru also looked at the seemingly delicate woman in front of her, her eyes were clear and deep, and her forehead was smooth and moist. She was not only a little curious, what kind of stunning face was under the veil.

"As far as this palace knows, the Celestial Empire does not have the custom of marrying a woman to cover her face, is the concubine unsightly or afraid to see anyone?"

"The queen laughed, this is the habit of the concubine, and the concubine likes it."

In a word, what if I like to cover my face with Shah?

When did Queen Xianru be provoked like this by the women of the harem, her eyes were cold, and her tone was a little colder.

"This palace and the eldest concubine are meeting for the first time today, how can they accuse this palace of running to Yuyun Palace in the middle of the night?"

Yes?

Ling Yuexi was obviously taken aback, and turned her head to glance at Mu Tianrong.

Don't be afraid, I'll call the shots for you.

Mu Tianrong clenched Ling Yuexi's hand and stared at Empress Xianru unhappily.

"The concubine has to be loved by the emperor, how dare she cause trouble. When Niangniang punished Dongmei that day, she took the opportunity to drug in the chicken soup, but fortunately, the concubine knew a little bit about it, and she felt bad after only taking a sip, only to find that the chicken soup was filled with aphrodisiac. ”

"You talk nonsense!"

Queen Xianru did her hands and feet, but it was just a laxative, not an aphrodisiac.

Seeing that the concubine had not had an accident, Niangniang drugged the pine lamp again...... However, the concubine is very curious, if the concubine was also unconscious last night, what would happen if the concubine would be the concubine? ”

Queen Xianru was so wronged in time that she was so angry that her body trembled.

"Your Majesty, she is a bunch of nonsense, you have to be the master of your concubines! How can a concubine have a chance to be drugged under the pine lamp? ”

Suddenly, Empress Xianru seemed to understand, stared at Ling Yuexi and asked coldly, "How do you know that the drug is in the pine lamp?" ”

Mu Tianrong also looked at Ling Yuexi with a puzzled expression.

"Although the concubine knows a little about flowers and plants, she didn't find any drugs, but she felt that the smell of the pine lamp was a little choking, so she let people take it to the outer hall, but she didn't expect that not only the concubine, but even the two of them were not stunned. Based on this speculation, only when the pine lamp is drugged, will it be unaware. Queen Mother, you know what you have done and what you want to do. But this concubine told you that if this concubine falls in love with the emperor, she will be favored by the harem, what can you do to me? ”

Ling Yuexi's voice was not loud, but her forbearance was still pressing, and those eyes were obviously full of autumn water, but they were so cold that they could freeze to death. Queen Xianru was suddenly shocked in her heart, in the eyes of this woman, there was obviously a murderous intention, who was she?

Before Empress Xianru could speak, Ling Yuexi took the initiative to take Mu Tianrong's arm, sighed a little helplessly and said slowly: "Your Majesty, do you have time to accompany your concubines to go shopping today?" ”

"Okay."

Mu Tianrong walked out with his arms around Ling Yuexi's waist and instructed the guards outside the palace: "The queen abuses drugs, disrupts the harem, and is grounded for a hundred days."

"Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged!"

Empress Xianru finally couldn't continue to be reserved and noble, and ran to the gate of the palace, but was stopped by the guards.

Grounded during the day, that is, for these 100 days, he had to stay in the palace, stay at home, and no outsiders were allowed to visit, and he did not participate in any palace banquets.

On the street, a man and a woman walked side by side, and several people in the crowd followed not far away.

The man is dressed in navy blue cloth, the woman is dressed in floral cloth, and the silver hairpin is simply inserted into the bun that is pulled up at will, and a realistic peach blossom is embroidered on the corner of the light gauze that covers the face.

They were Mu Tianrong and Ling Yuexi, who came out of the palace in disguise.

"Mu Tianrong, today, thank you!"

What the?

Mu Tianrong looked at Ling Yuexi incomprehensibly.

Although this was originally a fake show, Mu Tianrong had no doubt about himself, and the appearance of protecting himself made Ling Yuexi can't help but think of Xiao Sujin, if today's incident happened to Xiao Sujin, would he be the first to doubt himself?

Although Feng Yanran's miscarriage had passed, Ling Yuexi understood that in Xiao Sujin's heart, that incident was done by her Ling Yuexi.

Seeing the momentary loss in Ling Yuexi's eyes, Mu Tianrong somewhat understood, and somewhere in his heart was soft, soft, and a trace of pity surged through.

Through the correspondence with Feng Yanran, he also learned some information from the side. finally understood why Xiao Sujin would take the risk and cooperate with him to kill Xiao Mojue.

The terrain of Yanjing is steep, but it is built because of the river, and the trade is passable, which is prosperous and lively. On this trade street, you can see all kinds of merchants everywhere, some of them are people from the Celestial Empire and some people from Fanbang. Listening to Mu Tianrong, this street was built by him two years ago, that is to say, there was trade between countries two years ago.

"Aren't you afraid that there are spies from all over the world among these merchants?"

Ling Yuexi frowned, she couldn't imagine that Mu Tianrong's mind was so open. At this point, Xiao Sujin's suspicious personality is not good, she once discouraged him from opening various ferries and trading with other countries, but unfortunately Xiao Sujin only resolutely disagreed on this point.

"Without them, how would I have gotten the information I need!"

Mu Tianrong raised his eyebrows proudly, and asked himself several surrounding countries, only he Mu Tianrong's intelligence organization was the most powerful, and he was also the first to know what was happening in the world.

"Want to hear about what's going on lately?"

Mu Tianrong took Ling Yuexi into the private room on the second floor of a teahouse.

After a while, a public-looking young boy served tea with a smile, and melon seeds and peanuts were served in the middle of the wooden plate. Mu Tianrong put one hand on the bottom of the wooden plate and gently rotated, and took out a few sealed letters.

During this period, Ling Yuexi saw Mu Tianrong looking at a letter and snorted softly, she glanced at it, but saw the words 'Xiao Moli'.

"Ling Yuexi, it seems that I overestimated your position in Xiao Sujin's heart!"

Mu Tianrong unfolded the letter in a good mood and put it in front of Ling Yuexi.

Jing Wang Xiao Moli still stayed in Beijing, in and out of the Drinking Fragrance Building, and met a young man the day before yesterday, the purpose of which was still to 'plug the Mo'. The Celestial Empire reported that the queen was missing and Concubine Chen was pregnant.

Thinking about the last piece of news that made Mu Tianrong excited, Ling Yuexi seemed much more indifferent, but she was more interested in 'plugging up Mo'.

"I've never seen a woman as measured by you, Xiao Sujin dotes on you, but she loves other women, and she actually makes a woman other than you pregnant, aren't you angry at all?"

"Xiao Sujin is the king of a country, how can he ignore the society because of the love of his children!"

Ling Yuexi's words blocked Mu Tianrong's gloating.

Mu Tianrong was stunned, and his expression was obscure.

"If it were me, I would never allow her to conceive my dragon."

Ling Yuexi glanced at Mu Tianrong, at a loss in her heart.

An emperor has to take a concubine, but he can not have children with them. But Xiao Sujin, who loves her all the time, swears a promise, but lets the so-called annoying woman conceive his child.

Ling Yuexi asked herself if she couldn't ignore it, she had been forcing herself to accept the thoughts of ancient women, but when she saw them face-to-face, she still couldn't get along.

"You don't believe me?"

Mu Tianrong's expression turned cold, and the sarcasm in Ling Yuexi's eyes upset him.

"What about faith? Can you keep mother and child safe? If I hadn't understood medicinal herbs, I wouldn't have been framed a long time ago! ”

"You're still angry?"

In the final analysis, Mu Tianrong is also afraid, with Ling Yuexi's personality, if he finds out that he has been drugged, he would rather bite his tongue and commit suicide than tarnish his innocence.

"Nope."

Ling Yuexi lowered her head and drank tea, a little absent-minded. Mu Tianrong naturally knew that she still cared about Mei Makeup's pregnancy in her heart.

Seeing that Ling Yuexi had lost the intention of shopping at the beginning, Mu Tianrong regretted that he was in a hurry. Then he took her to a jewelry store.

Along the way, Ling Yuexi was in a trance.

This jewelry store is not small, it should be the best store in Yanjing, no jewelry and jade are of the highest quality, the craftsmanship is exquisite and the color is beautiful. At the end, her gaze fell on a green jade hairpin. The jadeite as shiny and soft as flowing water reminded her of Xiao Mojue's jade pendant that never left her.

"Do you like it?"

Mu Tianrong followed her gaze and felt that it was very elegant, so he asked the shopkeeper to take it out, inserted it into Ling Yuexi's hair, and asked softly.

Facing the bronze mirror, Ling Yuexi glanced at Mu Tianrong and smiled unconsciously, how could someone have two hairpins stuck in a bun, and reached out to take off his silver hairpin, only then nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, a gorgeous woman walked in, dressed more openly than the boudoir, with very delicate makeup, and peach blossom makeup on her forehead.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw the jade jade hairpin on Ling Yuexi's head at a glance.

"Shopkeeper, this girl said that she will come over when she has gathered the money, you won't sell it to others without keeping your promise!"

"This ...... Hehehe, good things, of course, are the ones with the highest price. ”

Where are the buyers and sellers willing to let go of the opportunity to make usurious profits?

"Three hundred taels."

"Three hundred taels? Aren't you, the shopkeeper, a pit person? ”

"That's it, obviously the last time I said two white taels, how did it become three hundred taels."

The girl beside the woman muttered dissatisfiedly, and the corners of Ling Yuexi's lips twitched slightly.

"Since this hairpin is the girl's favorite, you might as well take it. However, this jade hairpin is worth two hundred taels, and there are some things, even if you like it, you have to see if it's worth it? ”

Xu didn't expect the woman next to him to speak for him, and the gorgeous woman hurriedly said with a smile: "In that case, thank you for this lady." ”

"Five hundred taels."

Mu Tianrong inserted the jade hairpin that Ling Yuexi took off into her bun with a gloomy face, took out the silver ticket from her arms and put it in front of the shopkeeper, and without waiting for Ling Yuexi to refuse, she directly pulled her out.

The first time I bought something for a woman I liked, the first time I did this kind of thing, Mu Tianrong's face was flushed, and when he got outside, Mu Tianrong, who was a little embarrassed, smiled loudly, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

Holding those silver tickets and glaring at them, the gorgeous woman had already swept the silver hairpin that Ling Yuexi had fallen into her wide sleeves without a trace, and left the store with an unwilling look of chagrin.

At the end of this day, Mu Tianrong actually felt more tired than reading the chapters in the palace and fighting on horseback. Just seeing Ling Yuexi's smart eyes smiling, his mood was also inexplicably happy.
