Chapter 43: Scheming

The farce of this night was not a big deal for the two of them, although Mu Qing was a little annoyed in his heart, but he was fine after a few days.

Who would care about these things with a person who was already drunk, but it was in the past, but Chu Xuanling was still a knot between the two of them.

Not only did Mu Qing notice that Bai Lichen was a lot colder to him, but even the heart that served Mu Qing noticed this matter.

"Niangniang, Your Royal Highness hasn't been to you for a few days, isn't it ......?"

Knowing that his mother was in a bad mood, he didn't dare to say General Chu's name over there, so he stopped halfway through speaking, looking a little hesitant.

"I know what you're trying to say, but I really don't have anything to do with him...... What I care more about now is the rumors in the capital, who released it, according to common sense, I have met with General Chu before, and no one in the capital should know. ”

"Didn't you say it before, was it the eldest lady who did it?" Xin'er asked suspiciously, his face was a little dissatisfied, and he muttered angrily.

"The eldest lady is really, the eldest lady often bullied you when you were still at home, and now that you are the third princess, why does she still treat you like this! Next time you go home, be sure to ask the master to call the shots for you. ”

Mu Qing smiled dumbly.

Please ask Mu Chenghai to call the shots for her?

Mu Chenghai didn't turn around, blaming her for not caring about her own reputation and having a past with Chu Xuanling, it would be good, and let her be the master.

"No, I always feel that this matter may not be so simple, the performance of the eldest sister, you also saw it at the Chen family's banquet yesterday, if she knew how to stir up the rumors behind her and use these to bully me, the Chen family would not have said those words to annoy Mrs. Chen that day."

What Mu Wan did that day was a brainless lady, how could she secretly dominate public opinion in the capital.

"Then Niangniang, do you think there is someone behind this?"

Mu Qing nodded, she could feel that there were other people behind her who were leading this matter, but she couldn't think of who did it.

In addition to Mu Wan, Shen Shuang'er and her are a little festive, but Shen Shuang'er will really make such a big deal for this grudge.

"Do you remember, when the young lady of the Shen family came to the palace that day, what was the difference between it and the eldest sister when she came to the palace?"

Xin'er shook her head, she didn't remember it clearly, she only remembered that they all seemed to be coming to find unhappiness for their mother.

"Yes, they have some grudges with me, but Mu Wan is rude and savage, but Shen Shuang'er of the Shen family can't find fault at all......"

The more Mu Qing thought about it, the more he felt that this Shen Shuang'er was not simple, although there was no evidence, but it could basically be deduced.

The reason why Princess Jade chose to target her before, I am afraid that this Shen Shuang'er also accounted for a large part of the reason.

It seems that what she wants to guard against in the future is not the thoughtless Mu Wan, but the hidden Shen Shuang'er.

Staying in the back house all day and doing these intriguing things is not comfortable for Mu Qing, she has never liked to participate in these.

If it weren't for Mu Qing's special identity now, and the people of the Mu family had done too much, she wouldn't have wanted to care about it.

was talking to Xin'er about Shen Shuang'er, and news came from there, saying that Shen Shuang'er had come to the Third Prince's Mansion.

"Niangniang, do you want to see Miss Shen, or ......?"

Xin'er thought about helping Mu Qing excuse himself, saying that he was sick and didn't go to meet.

But Mu Qing knew that this was simply part of Shen Shuang'er's plan, he had walked in the capital to find out the news that he was having an affair with Chu Xuanling, and then took advantage of the rigidity of the relationship between Mu Qing and Bai Lichen to come to see Bai Lichen in the name of visiting.

If Mu Qing said that he was sick at this time, it could be said that he followed Shen Shuang'er's meaning, but it fulfilled her.

She doesn't love Bai Lichen, but she can't see Shen Shuang'er's insidious and vicious approach.

"Why don't you see her, the more times like this, the less I can look stingy."

Mu Qing stood up, and then ordered the maid who combed his hair to tidy up his hair, put on new clothes, and put on his momentum, and then left his bedroom and went to the front hall.

Before you even walked in, you could hear the laughter inside.

"Your Highness is really humorous, how could my father say this way back then, if my father heard it, he would definitely deny it."

Bailichen humor?

Mu Qing thought that in order to get close to Bailichen, Shen Shuang'er would say what she really looked like, but looking at her appearance, the two of them had a good conversation.

At least when she watched Mu Qing come in, the look of surprise on her face couldn't be hidden.

She may be thinking, shouldn't the three imperial concubines call themselves sick and not see her, why did they come out instead, and look, they seem to be dressed up specially.

Shen Shuang'er secretly clenched her fists, got up and saluted Mu Qing.

"I've seen the three imperial concubines."

She can't find fault with her etiquette, and she treats Mu Qing very respectfully, and the things on her face are enough.

It's just that she doesn't care what Mu Qing thinks about here.

"Miss Shen, why are you here today?"

Mu Qing didn't want to embarrass this Shen Shuang'er at such a time, so he also followed Shen Shuang'er's appearance and made a look of concern for her.

"Father has some important matters to discuss with the Third Highness these days, and I want to ask me to come over to see the Third Highness, and bring my father's words by the way."

After all, Shen Shuang'er grew up with Bai Lichen since childhood, and the deceased Empress Xian and the Prime Minister's Mansion are also inextricably linked, and the two families are naturally intimate, especially these two children.

"In that case, if you haven't finished speaking, then I'll leave first, and won't disturb the two of you discussing these official matters."

Mu Qing said that she was about to get up, she came today, on the one hand, she couldn't make Shen Shuang'er feel that she was timid, and on the other hand, she wanted to see what Bai Lichen was thinking.

If he liked Shen Shuang'er, he wouldn't have asked himself to stay at this moment, or he didn't have any interest in Shen Shuang'er.

But obviously Mu Qing was wrong, Bai Lichen didn't open his mouth to save Mu Qing, and he didn't even look at her directly, as if he acquiesced to Mu Qing's departure.

According to his cleverness, it is impossible for him not to know his purpose, and that is what it means to get rid of her.

It seems that he and Shen Shuang'er are really in love.

Mu Qing looked at Shen Shuang'er with a little victorious eyes, his face suddenly turned a little colder, and then he didn't say anything, and left with his heart.

"Niangniang, why did you come out, this Miss Shen and the Third Highness ......"

Mama Chen looked at it with some surprise, not knowing what to do.

Why did his own mother come out like this, but left Miss Shen and His Royal Highness inside, this ......

"Niangniang, this is a bit unruly, why didn't Niangniang persuade His Highness a few words?"

Mama Chen asked tentatively, only to get a wry smile from Mu Qing.

A word of persuasion? This is simple, but if Mu Qing persuades Bai Lichen to listen to it, what can he do if he can't listen to it.

"Forget it, just call them like this, I don't have any way."

This was like a gamble, Mu Qing shook his hand and left after speaking, and Bai Lichen and Shen Shuang'er inside had no intention of coming out.

Prime Minister Shen knew his daughter's thoughts, although this official matter was true, it was also deliberately given to his daughter by the Prime Minister, in order to create an opportunity for Shen Shuang'er to contact Bailichen.

Shen Shuang'er inside was naturally happy when she saw Mu Qing leaving, and her words became more and more intimate, hoping that Bai Lichen could discover her friendship as soon as possible.

But on the other hand, Bai Lichen became more and more silent, and for a while Shen Shuang'er didn't know if he listened to him.

Is it because of Fang Cai Muqing's indifferent attitude?

Where has she ever seen the third prince when he is a little depressed!

"Your Highness, or I'll leave first, I've already delivered the materials that my father asked me to send."

Shen Shuang'er was pampered by thousands of people at home, so naturally she would not continue to post it upside down like this, and it was like telling Bai Lichen that she Mu Qing had no interest in this man's identity.

"Since you have something to do, then leave first, I have nothing to do here, say hello to Prime Minister Shen for me."

Bailichen didn't keep Shen Shuang'er either.

In terms of personality, she has been like a child since she was a child, and she has to grab what she likes when she sees it, but in Bai Lichen's eyes, she doesn't like it very much.

The more he compared, the more Bai Lichen realized that the person he cared about was actually not Shen Shuang'er in the past.

"Then ...... Thank you, Your Highness. ”

Shen Shuang'er forced herself to make a happy expression, but she was thinking in her heart that this matter must be because of Mu Qing's influence.

Otherwise, when he was with the three princes before, if he bumped into something, he would definitely be nervous and half dead.

But now in exchange for only a general, seemingly all-encompassing statement, anyone can say so.

"Retire."

Shen Shuang'er almost couldn't hold back her expression, and her decent smile became a little distorted because of her thoughts.

"Miss, the slave maid watched the third imperial concubine come out soon after entering, and His Royal Highness must still favor Miss."

The maid at the door hurriedly stretched out her hand, helped Shen Shuang'er, and said with a flattering look on her face.

"But so what, the position of the imperial concubine is still sitting in Mu Qing, as long as she is in one day, this position cannot belong to me."

"Miss, you're wrong." The maid whispered a few words in Shen Shuang'er's ear, "Where is this Mu Qing's status comparable to you, but it is only because of the love of the three princes that he dares to show off his might in front of you, as long as His Royal Highness doesn't like her, then she is in front of Miss You, it is not worthy of lifting shoes, the lord is the prime minister of Baili Country, and you are the concubine." ”

The maid's words made Shen Shuang'er's heart suddenly change.

Oh, yes...... What is there for her to be afraid of?
