Chapter Seventy-Four: Downfall

Rumors are rife outside, and even the people in the palace are discussing this matter, no matter how much the emperor protects them, I am afraid that this situation is useless now, how could Situ Shao, the emperor, abandon the people of the country for a woman? What's more, it's still a woman he doesn't like.

"Why is this Xiangrui Palace so deserted, as if there is no one."

A group of palace maids passed by the gate of Xiangrui Palace, who didn't know that this Xiangrui Palace was specially given by the emperor to the eldest lady of the Mu family, and everyone thought it was blessed. Now it seems that it is nothing more than that, arrogant and cool for a while, and the ending is so downcast.

In the past, the Xiangrui Palace was prosperous, and there was still the smell of fireworks, but now, I am afraid that even the birds do not want to go in.

"But isn't it, if something like that happened to the Mu family, who would come to her?"

"Yes, even the concubines are not coming to say goodbye."

"It's a pity, the emperor didn't come to see our concubine Mu." The palace maid pretended to be a pity.

"Cut, what's so nice, if it were me, I wouldn't come."

When Mu Chengyue was beautiful, she bullied a lot of people, and the entire harem was in her hands, remembering that when the queen was there, the harem was peaceful, and the harem had changed since the change of lord, and the palace people complained very much.

"Okay, right? Don't fall into the trap, no matter what people say now, they're still a concubine. ”

"But it's just a concubine now, and in a few days, they may all become abandoned concubines."

Mu Chengyue had a maid beside him, and when he heard these words behind the palace gate, his face was a little ugly, he knew Mu Chengyue's temperament, so he could only bear it silently in his heart, and he didn't dare to tell her.

The group of palace maids who just spoke were the concubines who were going to give snacks to the flowers, and their thoughts never stopped.

Concubine Yu: "Recently, I stopped to say goodbye, I slept really comfortably, and even my mood has changed a lot." ”

"Come on, you, I think it's because of the middle of the concubine's family, so you're happy." Concubine Li smiled, just talking about everyone's thoughts.

"I'm not alone." Concubine Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, and the joy on her face was not less at all. "Tell me it's like this now, who of you isn't happy?"

On weekdays, Mu Guifei bullied them a lot, and now she can finally fight back, which is a fortunate thing.

"Sister said cautiously, people are still concubines now, if they grab us and sue us, then they can still do it." It was Ying Guiren who spoke, and once whispered to Concubine Yu, but was accidentally heard by Mu Chengyue, and turned his head to tell the emperor that they were scolded miserably.

"Hmph, I want to see if their family can turn the tables around."

Concubine Li: "Turnaround? It's impossible, who of the people doesn't shout and beat one by one? How could the emperor abandon the people for her? ”

Ying Guiren took a sip of tea and said, "If it weren't for her, how could the queen mother die?" ”

Everyone knows why, and when it comes to this, they don't continue.

In the evening, the candlelight flickered, and only some cold food remained on the table, and behind the silver curtain sat a woman with a cloak, who had not been dressed for several days, and no one had come to see her anyway, so it didn't matter what she looked like.

"Hasn't the emperor come yet?" A weak voice sounded.

The maid was taken aback, and immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the emperor is still discussing with the adults in the court, there are too many problems in recent days, and I can't finish talking about it for a while, so let's eat first." ”

She sneered and staggered to her feet, "Hehe, question? In addition to Mujia, what other problems can be used? ”

The maid hurriedly stepped forward to help her, for fear that she would fall, "Yes, there are big and small things outside the capital, I heard, I heard that the imperial examination is about to start again." ”

"Yes, the imperial examination is about to start, and the emperor can abandon the Mu family to find a new person."

It's like the harem, which only hears the newcomer laughing and doesn't hear the old crying.

She just wanted to comfort Mu Chengyue, but she didn't expect to think like this, and said with tears in her eyes: "No, don't think too much, Niangniang, everything will be fine." ”

Get better? How good could it be? Mu Chengyue walked out and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, the moon tonight was exceptionally round, just illuminating the silent Xiangrui Palace.

Before dawn, the people of the morning market began to be busy, tidying up their stalls, and now people began to pass by at the door of Mu's house, and those who passed by were all spittle, and they were always unhappy if they didn't scold a few words.

These are not over, everyone thinks that the white silk on the plaque of Mufu is unlucky, and the dead people lying inside are also unlucky, so they can't get in, so they have to make a fuss with the plaque...... Everything that can be thrown is thrown on it, and there is still a little bit of funeral.

"Alas! What are you doing, young man? ”

By the wall, the old lady pulled the young man and looked at the firecracker in his hand.

"It's okay, I'll set off a firecracker, I think it's too bad luck in Mufu, throw the firecracker in it and let it go."

The old lady thought about it, it was really bad luck here, anyway, the people in their family had nothing to pity, so she let go of her hand: "You wait for me to go away, you are put, don't scare me." ”

The young man smiled and agreed: "Okay." ”

A few minutes later, in the quiet morning, there was a sudden "crackling" sound of firecrackers, which was particularly noisy.

The tranquility of the Mu family was broken, and everyone quickly came out to find out, it turned out to be firecrackers set off on Chinese New Year's Eve, ordinary people can't even afford fireworks, and they can be willing to throw firecrackers, which is enough to show that their family's status in the hearts of others.

Looking at the debris on the ground, Ruan Linlang was in a solemn mood, now dare someone set off firecrackers, and dare someone to come in and kill people tomorrow, can you still stay here?

Uncle Lu is a clever one: "My lord, I'll go out and have a look." ”

"Not necessarily." Mu Daren has mixed feelings in his heart.

I only went out now, I'm afraid that people have already left.

Chen Qingwu was not at Mu's house in the morning, after hearing about this, he was worried about Ruan Linlang and wanted to protect her, halfway through the road, he met someone from Ruan's mansion, it was Ruan Qingchen who wanted to see him, he didn't dare to slack off, so he had to go back.

"Did you hear about this morning?" Ruan Qingchen got up in the morning, his eyelids kept jumping, he never stopped, he was afraid that something would happen, so he deliberately took leave and didn't go to the court.

Now in this situation, he is embarrassed to go to Mufu to ask for someone openly, and now he can only ask Chen Qingwu.

"I heard that setting off firecrackers is a warning from the people to the Mu family."

"I don't know how Linlang is now, whether she is scared."

He walked around the hall anxiously, just hoping that Ruan Linlang was okay.

"I was about to go to her."

That's right, Ruan Qingchen was just waiting for him to say this, he grabbed Chen Qingwu's arm, "Can you help me bring Ruan Linlang out?" Sneak it out, anyway, Linlang is gone, and they won't care. ”

Chen Qingwu actually has this idea.
