Chapter 247: A strong person doesn't need a weakness
Palace.
When Zhao Xuanling appeared and took Lin Mumu away, Nangong Allure got the news as soon as possible.
"This Zhao Xuanling is really arrogant, and he doesn't take us seriously at all." Just take people away!
Nangong Allure is still a noble and cold appearance. "I didn't expect him to really care about a little medical officer."
Nangong Cong was a little puzzled when he heard him say this. "What did the imperial sister say, Zhao Xuanling cares about Lin Mumu?"
Although she didn't want to admit it, she couldn't believe the facts in front of her, before her people found out that there seemed to be something unusual between Lin Mumu and Zhao Xuanling, and today Lin Mumu was trapped in the Hundred Flowers Maze Array to test whether this was true or not, but she didn't expect it to be true.
"Then Lin Mumu, I checked, she was Zhao Hanjun's imperial concubine before, and now that the two have reconciled, she is so capable that she is actually involved with Zhao Xuanling." Nanyang Cong thought of Lin Mumu pricking him, and he hated it so much.
"As far as I know, Zhao Xuanling has never been a nosy person, he can go to the palace to save people today, it can be seen that he is interested in Lin Mumu, isn't this just right, as long as we arrest Lin Mumu, Zhao Xuanling will not listen to us obediently cooperate with us?"
Hearing this, Nangong Allure sneered lightly.
This contained a slight sarcastic laughter, which made Nangong Cong frown. "Am I wrong?"
Nangong Chengcheng looked at the endless night outside the window, and coldly hooked the corners of his lips. "A strong person doesn't need to have a weakness, no matter why Zhao Xuanling cares about Lin Mumu, she must die!"
……
The people in the Lin Mansion seemed to be accustomed to Lin Mumu's strange return time, and although everyone was puzzled, no one dared to ask more.
When Lin Mumu returned to Xiaoxiangju, he saw Shuangshuang coming out of the house.
"Double." Lin Mumu screamed.
"Miss!" Shuangshuang exclaimed in surprise and pounced on Lin Mumu.
Lin Mumu was hugged by her, and she almost didn't catch her breath.
"You dead girl let me go, I'm going to be strangled to death by you."
Shuangshuang smiled and let go of her. "The eldest lady has been really dangerous since she became that medical officer, and the slaves and maids have been hanging on their hearts all day long."
"The eldest lady is back, let's go into the house quickly." Qiaoqiao heard the movement and walked out of the back room.
"Hmm."
Both locked the courtyard door and returned to the house with Lin Mumu.
"By the way, the king told me that my maid almost fainted in his palace from crying, what's the matter?"
Hearing this, Shuangshuang scratched his head a little embarrassed. "It's a bit exaggerated for the king to describe it like this, when did the slave faint from crying."
Qiaoqiao entered the house with hot water and poured a cup for Lin Mumu. "I don't know if I'm crying or not, but when I came back, my eyes were swollen like walnuts, and it was the first time I saw her like that."
"I'm not worried about the eldest lady, in fact, the slave maid is on the street......" Shuangshuang told Lin Mumu about meeting Wang Ru, and after separating from Wang Ru, she went to the Royal Palace, Zhao Xuanling asked for help, and it was a coincidence that Zhao Xuanling had just returned to the mansion at that time, and Shuangshuang cried directly and told him about it, and then Zhao Xuanling asked her not to show any abnormality and return to the Lin Mansion to wait, until Lin Mumu came back.
"It seems that the people who follow me are getting more and more clever." She didn't expect that the decisive factor in saving her was actually Wang Ru, and she would have to praise her tomorrow.
"Miss, you have no grievances with the people of the Western Chu Kingdom
Why did they trap you in the palace? ”
"How do I know, maybe I'm too good, and they're afraid of posing any threat to the Western Chu Kingdom." Lin Mumu said casually, Zhao Xuanling said that this was because of him, and she still didn't understand why the Western Chu Congress came to deal with her because of him.
"I see, Princess Xichu has taken a fancy to the prince, so she deliberately made things difficult for the eldest lady."
"Shuangshuang, what did you say?" Lin Mumu raised his eyes sharply and looked at Shuangshuang.
Both were startled by the look in her eyes.
"Big, eldest miss, slave, slave and maid are just talking nonsense, and slaves and maids don't know ......"
Lin Mumu's eyes narrowed. "No, I think you're right!"
"Really?"
Lin Mumu didn't answer her, but the more she thought about it, the more likely she felt.
Nangong Allure made no secret of his good impression of Zhao Xuanling when he appeared for the first time at the reception banquet, and wanted to play with him, a woman's sixth sense is very keen, and an outstanding man like Zhao Xuanling can arouse the desire to conquer a proud princess like Nangong Allure.
The more possessive a person like Nangong Allure is, perhaps she has already classified Zhao Xuanling as her private property, and no one can touch it.
Although she and Zhao Xuanling have no obvious intersection on the bright side, as long as those who are interested can always find some clues, Zhao Xuanling still treats her a little differently.
In this way, Zhao Xuanling's words are easy to understand, the reason why the Western Chu Kingdom did something to her was because of him.
Hmph, what a bee attracts butterflies!
However, Nangong Allure and they inevitably underestimate her too much, although she is not strong enough, but she is by no means a soft persimmon to be manipulated, she must repay this revenge tenfold today!
……
Inside the study of the Royal Palace.
After receiving Zhao Xuanling's order, Hui quickly sent the relevant information in Western Chu to the study.
Zhao Xuanling unfolded the information and looked at it.
Nangong Allure and Nangong Cong are both the sons of the current queen of Western Chu, but the current queen of Western Chu is not the original match of the monarch of Western Chu.
Before this, the monarch of Western Chu also had a queen Yuan, and the queen was his imperial concubine when the monarch of Western Chu was the prince, and the two had a son, who was also the eldest prince of Western Chu, Nangong Fan.
When Nangong Fan was ten years old, Empress Yuan died of illness, and then the monarch of Western Chu became the current queen.
After the death of the Empress Yuan, Nangong Fan has been raised under the name of the Queen Mother, deeply loved by the Queen Mother, and also gathered the power of the Queen Mother, the Queen easily did not dare to move him, more than ten years have passed, Nangong Fan is older than Nangong Cong, and has already participated in politics as a dynasty.
However, Queen Xichu is not a vegetarian, she uses the power of her mother's family to constantly suppress Nangong Fan's influence in the court, because the queen's family is powerful, Nangong Fan has been a lot more low-key in the past two years.
Zhao Xuanling looked at the information one by one, and only raised his eyes to look at Xiang Hui for a while.
"It seems that the Empress of Xichu has been going too smoothly recently, go find something for them to do, and dare to hit the king with her ideas." Then you have to have the resistance to withstand his wrath!
"The subordinates understand that Nangong Allure and Nangong Cong have long been unable to sit still when they go to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and pro-Nangong Fan."
"Go ahead."
……
Three days after the banquet ended, Emperor Showa's decree of marriage was sent to the princes.
The empress didn't know how to persuade Emperor Showa, and finally the eight imperial concubines
chose to order Xie Jiaojiao.
The fifth prince, Zhao Muyu, ordered a cousin of Lan Qinzhu, and Zhao Hanjun ordered the daughter of a century-old scholarly Chu family.
The people who got engaged to the marriage were all older princes who did not have concubines, and the rest of the Emperor Showa, who was not so old, did not arrange it for the time being.
As for Zhao Chen, I don't know if Emperor Showa didn't give him a concubine, but gave him a side concubine, who was the niece of the prince's mansion.
After the marriage decree was sent to the Lan Mansion, Lan Qinzhu's illness was immediately cured.
Lin Mumu looked at Lan Qinzhu, who was holding the quilt and smiling, her eyes were about to narrow into a slit, and the corners of her eyes twitched.
"Hahahaha, hahahahaha!"
"That's pretty much it, if you want to laugh so arrogantly again, Mrs. Lan will arrange your marriage."
Lan Qinzhu laughed, glanced at Lin Mumu fiercely, and threw a soft pillow at her. "You don't give me a crow's mouth, or I'll make you up!"
Lin Mumu reached out and took the pillow and put it aside.
"Well, thanks to my kindness to congratulate you, it's not good yet, it seems that you don't want to hear the latest news from everyone in Miaoyin."
Hearing this, Lan Qinzhu sat up from the bed and walked to Lin Mumu's side with a flattering face. "Ouch, my good Mu Mu, you see that you can't joke with our sisters? Don't be angry, I know you'll be here today, and I've got your favorite roast lamb ready early! Go, bring me all the good wine and food prepared for Lord Lin. ”
Lin Mumu looked at her with a heroic look, where did she look like she was recovering from a serious illness.
"By the way, did your mother tell you anything about your illness?" Lin Mumu came to Lan Qinzhu's side with a gossipy face and said.
"Say what? My mother was sad, but fortunately there was no scar. ”
Lin Mumu raised her eyebrows. "Why didn't your cousin go to the palace banquet that day, but she really wanted to go."
Lan Qinzhu knew what she meant as soon as she heard it, and there was a dark glint in her eyes. "That house is very greedy and dares to attack me, how could my mother spare them, if it weren't for my grandmother's face, they would have been kicked out of the house long ago."
The Lan family is a big family, and the mansion is also very large, and the few rooms of the Lan family live together, also because Mrs. Lan likes to watch her children and grandchildren gather together, otherwise there would not be so many people living together until now.
Lin Mumu didn't ask for specific details, but with Mrs. Lan's means, it was certain that their life in the Lan Mansion would not be easy in the future.
Soon, the maids came up with fragrant wine and food.
Lan Qinzhu stretched out her hand to pour the wine but was stopped by Lin Mumu, she couldn't forget the headache of being drunk before.
"You drank alcohol not long after your illness, if you let Mrs. Lan know, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the door of your Lan Mansion next time."
Lan Qinzhu withdrew her hand a little disappointed. "Even if you drink some fruit wine, you won't get drunk."
Lin Mumu still firmly asked the maid to take it all down, and sandwiched a piece of mutton for Lan Qinzhu. "Let's eat honestly."
"Let's talk while eating, tell me what the situation was at the palace banquet that day, how did everyone become the eldest princess's righteous son?"
"It's Miaoyin that everyone saved the eldest princess who fell into the water, and then the rest of the matter will be logical." Lin Mumu doesn't think there are such coincidences in the world, but these are not important to her.
"That's great, so that my mother can't object to me marrying everyone Miaoyin!"
"Poof!"
