Chapter Ninety-Four: The Visitation
The two soldiers saw Mu Chuan so upright, and naturally let him go, "Even if you are a person close to the emperor, but the emperor's temperament has changed greatly recently, we have no choice, please forgive me." ”
Mu Chuan was a little puzzled, although the emperor's actions were already suspicious before the river was repaired, but thinking about his identity, he was naturally very confident.
After walking to the palace, Mu Chuan saw the emperor, as well as the crown prince Gu Ye and the crown princess Zhen Yufu.
Looking at the two of them, Mu Chuan suddenly felt disgusted, because a long time ago, when the emperor adopted him, Gu Ye had not treated him well for even a quarter of an hour, as if he was afraid that he would take away his throne.
"Your Majesty, the retainers have asked you for peace." Walking into the dormitory, Makikawa knelt down and saluted.
"Arise, what is the retribution?" The emperor wondered.
Mu Chuan coughed a few times and asked, "I want to know about last night's banquet." ”
The emperor was a little puzzled, and casually asked what everyone else knew, why did he come to ask himself?
"I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning of the banquet last night and went back, but I heard that Gu Miaoxuan suddenly went crazy later, and it was too much to take off her robe and overwhelm Zhou Guifei, I saw that she was the daughter of King Xiang, so I specially opened the net, and this matter was settled." The emperor explained impatiently.
However, Mu Chuan expressed doubts about such a statement, "Erchen has something unclear, and everyone else in the banquet is not unusual, but Gu Miaoxuan is... Erchen has bold ideas, and he is afraid that he will be poisoned. ”
When the emperor heard this, he slapped it on the table, "How can this be true, do you mean to say that the tribute paid by the envoy is poisonous?" Do you know that what you're saying now is going to kill your head! ”
Mu Chuan didn't dare to speak, but silently lowered his head, and now he really has no evidence to prove it.
The crown prince Gu Ye sneered: "Mu Chuan, I advise you, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth, fortunately, my father has a lot, if you are talking about this, be careful to be heard by someone with a heart, when the time comes, even the emperor will not be able to protect you." ”
Looking at the prince's proud appearance, Mu Chuan understood that he also had a share in yesterday's banquet, and thinking of his gloating appearance at that time made Mu Chuan a little unwilling.
"Erchen thinks that if there is a problem with the tribute, you will know it when you check it, no..."
"Smack!"
The sound of the case interrupted Mu Chuan's words, and everyone present looked at the emperor who was so angry that his face was flushed.
"What do you mean by that? Last night, you drank tribute in the fight, do you still want to check them one by one? If the messenger knew about it, what would they think? A few words at the least, or a detrimental to the country's prestige, just because you have a problem with a tribute? ”
Gu Ye on the side realized the opportunity and immediately said, "Father, stop being angry, you are sick, you should not be angry." ”
"You unfilial son, let me leave, I don't want to see you again!"
Seeing that the emperor had such a temper, Mu Chuan hurriedly left, for fear that Gu Ye would make up for it.
In the next few days, Mu Chuan entered the palace to try to explain, but the emperor didn't see it once, and before he could speak, he asked someone to drive him away, but he still didn't give up, because he understood that Gu Ye was still thinking about how to deal with himself.
Once, he saw the emperor and Gu Ye, although he was a little hesitant, but he couldn't let go of any opportunity now.
"Your Majesty."
The two of them looked at Makikawa as if they had seen a scoundrel.
"You go, I don't want to see you."
I saw Mu Chuan kneeling down and said: "Your Majesty, the sons know that they are wrong, and the sons should not speculate and make the emperor unhappy, they really deserve to die." ”
Gu Ye wanted to laugh when he looked at him like this, but now that his father was looking at him, he didn't dare to speak.
"Get up, and reflect on yourself when you go back." The emperor said lightly.
Listening to the emperor's tone, Mu Chuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and left in acquainty.
After seeing him go away, the emperor said helplessly: "Dog skin plaster, inform the soldiers in the future, I don't want to see him for the time being." ”
Gu Ye replied and sneered.
After leaving the palace, Mu Chuan wanted to go back, but he met Gu Xiqian on the way, and looking at the person he liked, Mu Chuan immediately walked over.
"It's a long time since I've seen you."
Gu Xiqian looked at the person in front of her, and her heart felt like being cut by a knife, this person who deceived her feelings in her previous life and wiped out her family actually appeared in front of her like this.
However, now Gu Xiqian understands that he is no longer the Gu Nanqin of the past, but Gu Xiqian.
"If it's okay, get out of the way, I have something else to do." After Gu Xiqian finished speaking, she staggered and wanted to leave.
Gu Xiqian didn't want to see him for another reason, that was because he didn't know what Gu Xiqian had done with Mu Chuan before, so in order to avoid being suspected, it was better not to have too much intersection with him.
Mu Chuan was a little puzzled, after all, she was also from Xiangwang's Mansion, although she and Gu Miaoxuan fought openly and secretly with her, as an outsider, she still had the politeness she should have.
"Where are you going? Do you want to go along? Makikawa asked.
"Xiangwangfu, it has nothing to do with you." Gu Xiqian said coldly.
Hearing that she went to Xiangwang's Mansion, Mu Chuan was a little puzzled, aren't the two of them fighting in the house now? Even she moved to the Shizi Mansion, why should she go back now?
Moreover, Gu Xiqian also attended last night's banquet, and for him, the people in front of him knew what happened last night.
"Alright then, I'm on the same road, so let's go together." Makikawa followed.
Gu Xiqian was a little embarrassed, but she didn't have the right to let Mu Chuan not follow her, so she had to go along.
"Xi Qian, I heard that Mo Xuanyin went out to repair the river and encountered some trouble, so will your wedding date be delayed?"
"Recently, I heard that Mrs. Xiangwang has gone back, it seems that she was injured, do you know what happened?"
Along the way, Makikawa was talking about what had happened recently, but she didn't answer, and still walked on her own.
Of course, she also understands Mu Chuan's intentions, although these things seem to be well known, but if you know the inside story, it is very likely that you will accidentally leak your mouth, so don't speak out.
"Xiqian, I want to ask, what happened at the banquet last night?"
Gu Xiqian stopped, turned around and said, "I don't know, I was taken away after drinking for a while, and I didn't go back until a quarter of an hour later, and as soon as I entered, I saw it... Alas..."
Mu Chuan didn't believe it at first, so when he left the palace before, he deliberately went to find Zhou Guifei, and when they all said the same sentence, he could only reluctantly admit it.
"I heard that it was you who splashed a basin of water to make her sober at that time, so do you know why she became like this?"
Of course, Gu Xiqian knew that because she changed into the clothes of a palace maid at that time, and then added medicine to Gu Miaoxuan's wine, so there would be things later, of course, these things can't be known.
"I don't know, I saw that her face was flushed and her body was hot, and she felt like she had been poisoned, so I splashed water on her and woke her up, otherwise, such an indecent scene would be more shameful for Nanyue to spread out." Gu Xiqian said helplessly.
The two came to King Xiang's mansion, and King Xiang was naturally entertained, after all, no matter how Gu Xiqian was, she was also his daughter.
Gu Miaoxuan, who was in the room, heard that Gu Xiqian was coming, and immediately changed her clothes and walked to the living room.
As soon as the three of them said a few words, Gu Miaoxuan immediately walked over and scolded Gu Xiqian loudly: "You actually have the face to come back!?" ”
Gu Xiqian looked at her and was a little surprised and speechless, because Gu Miaoxuan in front of her didn't sleep well and her eyes were dark, and she looked very scary.
"What are you doing? But when I saw you like this, I came to see you, but you cursed? King Xiang said.
Gu Miaoxuan snorted coldly, "Would she be so kind?" Dad, you believe me, the wine I drank last night was poisoned by her, and it was because of her that I would disgrace Xiangwangfu, Dad, you believe me! After speaking, he took King Xiang's hand.
Mu Chuan looked at Gu Xiqian, only to see her calm face, as if he would expect her to say this.
"Tell me, I didn't go back until after you had an accident, how could it hurt you? Moreover, it was the palace maid who poured you wine at that time, please be careful. Gu Xiqian reminded, "Moreover, I left halfway, I think you should know this very well, right?" ”
Gu Miaoxuan was speechless for a while, her wine was indeed poured by the palace maid at that time, but she would never have thought that that person was Gu Xiqian.
And the tone of her latter sentence was a lot heavier, obviously she already knew that she had done it herself at that time.
"It's you, it's you who instigated the palace maid at the time to give me the medicine, that's right, that's it, don't think that I don't know your mind if you don't do it yourself." Gu Miaoxuan continued to retort.
Mu Chuan only understood what happened at this time, but since Gu Miaoxuan said that Gu Xiqian had left the main hall, it was possible that she quietly called the palace maid to poison her when she left.
"Alas, at that time, I was called by my father-in-law, and we chatted outside the main hall for a while, and this soldier guarding the door knows it, why don't you come and ask someone?" Gu Xiqian asked rhetorically, "And at that time, there was no palace maid by my side, how could I be poisoned?" On the contrary, it was you, and you left halfway, did you want to frame someone, but it was your turn? ”
There was a bit of questioning in Gu Xiqian's words, but behind it was naked ridicule, of course, it also hinted at what happened to him last night.
"You don't want to spew blood, not everyone's hearts are as vicious as you, who do you say I harmed?"
Seeing that Gu Miaoxuan was gradually unable to stand, Gu Xiqian calmly took a sip of tea, feeling that what happened last night had nothing to do with her.
"Okay, one of you has one less sentence, it's a pity, it's rare for you to come back, so stay for a light meal and leave." King Xiang played the round field.
