005. The daughter of Shangshu

What happened in the Three Princes' Mansion on the day of the Jin Crown Prince quickly spread in the capital.

Oh no, it's the Prince's Mansion now.

Everyone said that the Mu family must have green smoke on the ancestral grave, otherwise how could the daughter of a criminal minister who collaborated with the enemy and treason sit firmly in the position of the crown princess?

What's more, in this capital, Mu Ci's beauty is not famous, but I don't know what way to make the prince who is fascinated by all kinds of meat and vegetables, and stays in her room every night.

The Prince's Mansion, which had been deserted for a while, was crowded with guests all of a sudden, and the posts between the back houses also flew into Linglong Garden like snowflakes.

And the attitude of everyone in the Prince's Mansion became friendly and flattering again because of Murong Lie's attitude that day, and there was even a bit of caution in it.

Mu Ci has retracted into the room these days, and if nothing happens, I am afraid that he will not even go out of the courtyard door.

Since Murong Lie became the crown prince, the mansion was covered with red silk, which was even more scorching than the summer sun, and Mu Ci's heart was burned.

She remembers that when she was at home, whenever her father won a battle, her mother would always tell the housekeeper to decorate the house with joy, which made people's hearts bloom.

But now that she is in the blazing Prince's Mansion, what she thinks of is the dilapidated and desolate Mu Mansion, maybe the garden where her father and mother live, the weeds are all high.

"Crown Princess, the makeup for Miss Lin is ready, and you can go." Drizzle walked up to Mu Ci's side, "The princess hasn't seen Miss Lin for a while, but do you miss her?" ”

"Okay." Mu Ci replied lightly.

Murong Lie got out of the carriage and walked towards him with Mu Ci, who was dressed in light pink.

It's been a long time since I've seen her dressed up like this, Murong Lie showed a gentle smile in his eyes, and greeted her: "Where are you going to go?" ”

"Back to the prince, Lin Shangshu's concubine added makeup today and gave the princess a post." Qingfeng squatted back.

Murong Lie nodded, the smile in his eyes did not dissipate, and he ordered: "It's okay to go out for a walk, but unfortunately Gu has something to do today, you escort the crown princess to go first, and when Gu is done, I will pick you up and go back to the house." ”

His last words were addressed to Mu Ci.

Mu Ci nodded, and started to leave, but was stopped by him, he leaned over, leaned into Mu Ci's ear, and whispered another word.

"Wanwan is very beautiful today."

Mu Ci was stunned for a moment.

She is not a cold-hearted person, and these days, Murong Lie's every move towards her, Mu Ci is not invisible.

He knew that because of the Mu family's traitorous charges, the people of their Mu family could only expose the corpses to mass graves, and could not be buried in the ground, nor could they be buried in a grand manner, or even clothed in linen and filial piety for them.

So in the past three months, she has hardly left the mansion, wearing a vegetarian shirt all day long, either white or light cyan, and only eating vegetarian food.

Regarding her behavior, Murong Lie never said that she was not.

She was dressed in a plain shirt, and he watched; She ate a vegetarian feast, and he accompanied her.

But Mu Ci couldn't help it, she couldn't bear it when she lay on his side every day, and then let her open her heart to him as if nothing happened, Mu Ci was really afraid, afraid that after she died, she would not be able to face the unjust deaths of the Mu family.

Along the way, Mu Ci was still immersed in his own thoughts, feeling that his brain had been torn into several pieces.

It wasn't until Qingfeng opened her mouth to call her that she came back to her senses: "Crown Princess, Shangshu Mansion has arrived." ”

Drizzle carefully arranged her shirt and headdress.

Mu Ci held Qingfeng's hand and slowly got out of the carriage, outside was Lin Shangshu's wife waiting at the door with someone, after seeing Mu Ci, Mrs. Lin stepped forward and squatted down respectfully: "Say hello to the crown princess." ”

Mu Ci looked at the past one by one, most of those ladies knew each other, and when her mother was still in the past, they all had some contacts, but they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and their faces were all unfamiliar.

"Get up." Mu Ci said coldly.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly got up and took Qingfeng's place, Qingfeng took a step back, walked side by side with the drizzle, and glanced at the drizzle, glancing at her mouth very slightly.

Drizzle shook her head at her and smiled.

Mrs. Lin said with a smile: "I knew that the crown princess had recently closed her door, and she didn't want to disturb your purity, but Ping'er was not sensible, and said that she wanted to try it no matter what, and she didn't post it out, and she began to send someone to ask if you had arrived early this morning." ”

"I had the best relationship with her before I got married, and this makeup always has to come." Mu Ci's attitude is not warm.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Lin sighed in her heart, and didn't say such things anymore, just picked up good and interesting things and whispered them to Mu Ci.

Mu Ci answered from time to time, and he heard it.

Lin Ping'er heard Mu Ci's voice from afar, and when Mu Ci entered her courtyard, she saw her standing haggard at the door, looking at her eagerly.

As soon as she saw Mu Ci, Lin Ping'er's tears fell: "Ah Ci-"

Seeing her like this, Mu Ci hurriedly stepped forward, took out a handkerchief and wiped Lin Ping'er's tears, and said with a gentle smile: "On such a good day, why did you see me and cry instead?" ”

Lin Ping'er held her hand tightly, and her tears fell more and more.

Mrs. Lin was embarrassed, and was about to step forward, but saw Mu Ci turn her head and look at her: "Mrs. Lin, I have a few words I want to talk to Sister Ping'er alone, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

In front of so many people, even if Mrs. Lin knew in her heart what topic they were going to talk about, she didn't dare to refute Mu Ci's face in public.

I had to smile and said reluctantly: "The crown princess can take a fancy to the little girl, which is the blessing of our Lin family." ”

After speaking, he led the other ladies to the garden: "It just so happens that the lotus flowers are blooming today, if you come with me, I will order someone to prepare pastries there for you." ”

When the people were gone, Mu Ci sent the breeze and drizzle to guard outside the door, and helped Ping'er, who was crying, into the house.

"Ah Ci, I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for Brother Muqi, when Uncle Mu just had an accident, I begged my father to ask him to intercede in front of the saint for your family, but my father was-" Lin Ping'er's tears fell, almost speechless.

"My father slapped me and ordered me to be put under house arrest, not allowing me to have any more relations with the Mu family, and when I was released, your family would have already been-"

"Ah Ci, I can't believe it until now, how can your Mu family collaborate with the enemy and commit treason?" Lin Ping'er cried and fell into Mu Ci's arms.

Mu Ci was very sad by her crying, hugged Lin Ping'er with tears, and whispered in her ear: "Even Sister Ping'er refuses to believe it, how can it be unclear from above?" But the king wants his ministers to die, this is the life of our Mu family. ”

"Life? What is Fate? Lin Ping'er looked up, her eyes completely covered with tears.

Lin Ping'er cried bitterly, Mu Ci was provoked by her to be sad, and there were no outsiders here, so she indulged herself and shed tears suppressed.

Lin Ping'er saw her crying, but instead hugged Mu Ci, and waited for the two of them to calm down.

Lin Ping'er said in a dumb voice: "Ah Ci, my father and mother were afraid of being implicated, so they forced me to stay away from the Mu family, don't blame them, they actually can't help it." ”

"I know."

"And Ah Ci, before Brother Muqi went to the north, he came to see me, he said, when this war subsides, he will come to marry me, from now on, we can only die, no more life and no separation." Lin Ping'er laughed, and the rouge on her face turned a little redder because she remembered Mu Qi.

"But I didn't expect that the time we met would be a dead farewell."

Mu Ci was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly tightened: "What does it mean to die?" ”

Lin Ping'er stood up and looked north, which was the direction Mu Qi was in: "Some time ago, my mother forced me to marry, and I agreed, in exchange for my father and he sent someone to inquire about Brother Mu Qi's news. ”

Lin Ping'er turned around: "Later, I learned from my father that when Brother Mu Qi led people to chase the enemy from the flank not long after the accident in the Mu family, he was completely wiped out by the army, and there were no bones. ”

"What did you say?" Mu Ci squeezed a word out of his throat.

"I originally thought about whether to hide the news from you, but Ah Ci, I don't want you to be a deaf and blind fool, you are his last relative in this world, and you have the right to know about it. But I sent messages to the Prince's Mansion a few times, but I didn't wait for a response. Later, I agreed to the marriage that my mother had asked me for, just to wait for you to come and tell you the news. ”

Mu Ci stood up violently, and because of the excessive movement, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground.

Lin Ping'er held her steady, but Mu Ci didn't feel anything, only staggered out the door.

Qingfeng whispered that she didn't know what was going on, and when she saw Mu Ci's faceless, she was startled, and when she reached out to help her, she was pushed away, and she picked up her skirt and ran out regardless of her image.

"Ah Ci—" Lin Ping'er stood at the door of the room and suddenly called out to Mu Ci.

Mu Ci turned around and saw that the red robe on Lin Ping'er's body was blown up by the wind, and the hunting sound. Mu Ci only realized at this time that the clothes on Lin Ping'er's body did not look like what they wore on weekdays.

It's more like a wedding dress.

Lin Ping'er laughed: "You have always been stronger than me, so you have to live well, no matter how painful and desperate you are, you have to live." ”

"You can't let the Mu family cut off the incense, and you can't let Brother Mu Qi and them die blindly."

And I, who have always been timid and cowardly, can't endure hardships the most.

I'm afraid that if I don't go to Brother Muqi again, he will not wait for me and will be reincarnated first.

My mother has always told me that women in this world are not going to settle for the future, and live a mediocre life.

If I hadn't met Brother Muzi, maybe I would have been one of them.

But after I was so passionately loved by someone like Muzi, I didn't want to, I didn't want to live such an ordinary and mediocre life.

Without him, for me, it would be torment, and I wouldn't be able to survive a day.
