Side Story Chapter 20
Early the next morning, Xia Ling'er returned to the room and saw a mess, she didn't need to think about it to know what was going on, but fortunately the prince didn't come with her.
She even instructed the maid not to reveal half a sentence to the outside world.
Thankfully, though, things weren't in her room.
In the next few days, Xia Ling'er was puzzled, what kind of letter was this? Will it make Mu Hou Ye attach so much importance to rebellion and rebellion? Probably not, right? If this is the case, wouldn't it be the best chance before the new emperor is registered? So what could be more convincing?
The point is that this letter must be unraveled as soon as possible.
However, when there was no clue about this matter, Mu Hou Ye found Xia Ling'er again.
Xia Ling'er was ordered by the prince to prepare a birthday gift for his mother's birthday, so he went out of the mansion with Le Nan, but was fainted and taken away.
When she woke up, she was already in a gloomy cell, and her hands were tied and fixed to the wall, and Lenan on the other side was even more so, it seemed that her little effort could not protect the princess at all.
Xia Ling'er raised her eyes, wondering what kind of place this was, but when she saw Mu Hou Ye sitting in the distance, she already understood what was going on.
When Marquis Mu saw her wake up, he smiled calmly, he was still the mighty old general.
made Xia Ling'er shudder in her heart.
"Princess, didn't you expect us to meet like this one day?" Mu Hou Ye had already stomped in front of Xia Ling'er with vigorous steps.
"Master Hou, what do you mean by this?" It's better to ask knowingly than to confess everything.
"The princess is a smart person, she must understand what the old man means, hand over the things that don't belong to the princess, and I can let you go now." Mu Hou Ye said deeply and firmly.
"I never force things that don't belong to me to stay with me, I don't know what Hou Ye is referring to." Xia Ling'er also said quietly and stubbornly. But the heart is already surging, I'm afraid I can't hide it, let's delay it for a while!
Mu Hou Ye sneered, and said: "I heard that the princess tied Yi Chen once before, used needles, and pulled out one of his nails. ”
Xia Ling'er gasped at this gloomy ice gas, this guy is really covering the sky with one hand! He could know such a secret thing in such detail. So what does he mean by that today? Do you want to avenge his son?
"The princess's guts are nothing more than that, she doesn't even have the courage to get it back if she is bullied, and she can't just have impulse and no guts."
Xia Ling'er became more and more confused about what he wanted to say.
"But today I can show you what it means to be brave and knowledgeable, and if I want, I can try every torture instrument here for the princess."
Is this a threat or does he want to be real? Xia Ling'er suddenly had palpitations and tinnitus, and she had the feeling of being tied to the board.
"How dare you torture the princess? The emperor and the prince will definitely not spare you. Le Nan roared excitedly, she failed to protect the princess, maybe she was still blaming herself!
As soon as Le Nan finished speaking, a black-faced man standing next to him slapped Le Nan in the face, and blood immediately flowed.
"Master Hou didn't ask you, where is your place to speak." Le Nan was then given a sharp warning.
"Where's the faith?" Mu Houye's face began to sink, and he looked at Le Nan with disdain and asked.
"She already gave it to me." Xia Ling'er replied for Lenan.
"Then the princess had better take it out with interest, and be good to you and everyone!" Mu Hou Ye turned around again and said Xia Ling'er, his voice was still indifferent.
Xia Ling'er paused and thought for a moment, her face became more and more calm, and she said to Mu Houye: "Let's deal with this matter according to family affairs!" Presumably Master Hou doesn't want too many people to know about this, you let irrelevant people go out, let's talk about this matter. ”
In the gloomy and terrifying eyes of Mu Hou Ye like this cell, people can't see any brightness, only the dark and cold that makes people fearful.
"No, there are no irrelevant people around me, and the princess is not qualified to talk to me about this matter, you can only hand over the letter honestly."
Xia Ling'er glanced at Le Nan, and then said, "Then let this irrelevant person out!" She is just a subordinate, she knows too much, it is hard to guarantee that one day she will say the wrong thing, and it is always not good to leak this matter to the prince again! Hou Ye will not ignore the feelings of the prince, right? ”
Mu Houye always has to take care of Mu Yichen, if it weren't for his reasons, I'm afraid he would have taken Xia Ling'er away directly that day, and he wouldn't have been delayed for so many days, and he had to admit that his son was his weakness.
And Xia Ling'er did this just to keep Le Nan and try to keep her okay, she believed that Mu Hou Ye would not do anything to her for the sake of his son's face.
Mu Hou Ye glanced at the person around him, and the person quickly relieved Le Nan and pushed her out.
"Princess?" Le Nan anxiously called out to the princess.
"Don't worry, I'm the daughter-in-law of Lord Hou, it's going to be fine, you go out first!" After Xia Ling'er finished speaking, she gave her a look, hoping that she could find a way to get out, and there was also a trace of worry in her heart, in case this Mu Hou Ye had the idea of killing people and killing people, then wouldn't the two of them evaporate from the world unconsciously, and I don't know if her elm-like bumpy head can figure out what it means.
After Le Nan was taken out, Mu Hou Ye asked Xia Ling'er again: "Say it!" Where's the thing? ”
"Isn't it just a blank slate? I burned. Xia Ling'er said coldly disdainfully.
Mu Hou Ye frowned slightly, glanced at the black-faced black-clothed man beside Xia Ling'er, and then turned around and turned his back to Xia Ling'er.
It's just that the man in black turned to Xia Ling'er and raised his head and slapped him twice, making Xia Ling'er feel dizzy, dizzy, and burning like a hot pain.
But she Xia Ling'er didn't know where she got the courage and guts, and she was not afraid at all, but was unusually calm.
"Do you know what Yi Chen lacks the most?" Mu Houye's quiet and deep voice also looked unusually gloomy in this dark prison.
"Woman!" Sure enough, the answer in Xia Ling'er's heart was the same, he wanted her to understand that the little weight she had in Mu Yichen's heart was not a threat to him at all.
"The last thing Yi Chen lacks is a woman, the princess still handed over the letter, for you, it is a blank piece of paper, useless, why should the princess put her life on the line for it?" After Mu Houye finished speaking, he slowly walked to the chair farther away from her and sat down, with the intention of not being in a hurry to judge slowly.
"It is impossible for me to carry the letter with me, in the palace." Good sweat doesn't suffer immediate losses, and it doesn't matter if you can tell you everything.
"Just tell me where it is, and I'll send someone to fetch it." Mu Houye's deep voice drifted into Xia Ling'er's ears from a distance.
It's really too good to be a cow, but does she really want to tell him? She didn't want to do that, and she wondered what the letter was.
"What if I don't want to give it to Master Hou?" Xia Ling'er had the intention of testing him.
"It's okay, you have time to think about it, and I have a way to figure it out until you figure it out." There was no anger on Mu Houye's calm and cold face, but it could make Xia Ling'er read the cruelty in his heart.
Xia Ling'er saw the person standing next to her walking towards a pile of torture instruments, Xia Ling'er's heart was still trembling, how could she not be afraid? It wasn't a simple slap in the face, and she didn't know what was going to happen.
"Master Hou, you are dealing with me so blatantly, if I go out, aren't you afraid that your son will ask and I will tell him everything? Even if I don't say it, I'm afraid he will want to be suspicious of the Hou Ye, the last time you went to Mu Wangfu inexplicably, the prince has already begun to doubt. "The only way Xia Ling'er can save herself now is to rely on his father-son affection for Mu Yichen.
"The princess has always been willful, and when she runs out and gets lost for a while, there is no fuss."
Xia Ling'er's plan didn't seem to work for Mu Houye.
"Let's do what the princess likes best." The black-faced man walked over, holding a small tool, Xia Ling'er could see it, and even more could hear the meaning of his words, he wanted to follow her example just like she pulled out Yi Chen's nails.
The man's powerful big palm tightly grasped Xia Ling'er's slender jade hand, and she looked sideways as her fingers were easily spread out by the man, leaving her powerless to resist.
"Wait......" Seeing that her nails were about to die, Xia Ling'er stopped in time.
The black-faced man stopped, and Mu Houye looked at her even more, as if waiting for her to hand over the letter obediently.
"Master Hou, the prince is not short of women, but don't you still lack a grandson? I'm afraid you also know that no one is willing to give birth to a child for him, but I have his child, and I don't know if this is fortunate or unfortunate? Xia Ling'er's tone was slightly cold, but there was a strange aura of yin and yang.
One sentence hit the key point of Mu Houye, and looking at his face, you can know how much he wants to hug his grandson in old age!
"Go get a doctor right away and find someone reliable."
"Put her down, let her sit down."
Mu Hou Ye ordered two people in a fit of anger.
Xia Ling'er was happy in her heart, you must know that she had already used this trick, she was slapped twice, Xia Ling'er sat down on the chair sent by the black-faced man, rubbed her wrist that was strangled painfully, and then stroked the corner of her mouth with her thumb, which was a stain of coagulated blood.
After stealing the joy, I couldn't help but be a little worried, in case the doctor came, it was not the same exposure, and she was not pregnant at all.
He didn't even ask a word of suspicion, and he was afraid that he would rather believe that she was really pregnant with his grandson than he doubted.
The more this is the case, is it really like Dabai, which makes him more angry with her.
Xia Ling'er looked at Mu Houye, her expression seemed to be more nervous than before, I don't know if he was really blaming himself in his heart.
Xia Ling'er got up and walked over to him.
"Master Hou, in fact, you don't need to be so enthusiastic to get me here, you will only make me more curious about the content of the letter, there are too many things I am curious about the prince, such as my mother, for example, my mother has obviously been stabbed to death, how did I become the daughter born after her death? I always feel that these seem to have more or less something to do with Hou Ye, right? Xia Ling'er said and walked to Mu Houye's chair.
It's just that he seemed to be very confused about her words, stood up, but pressed Xia Ling'er on the chair he had just left, and said indifferently: "If the princess is really pregnant, I won't pursue that letter anymore, just do what the princess pleases, just remind the princess that if you don't want your royal brother's court to be turbulent, and don't want the people you love to fall into the dark, you'd better hide from these two people." ”
Xia Ling'er really underestimated the power of this grandson, she thought that this was a big thing that was like complicity, but she didn't expect that her lie was about to be covered up, she really wanted to beg God to give her a baby now!
Xia Ling'er was a little flattered and sat on the seat of Mu Hou Ye, looking up at Mu Hou Ye who was standing on the side, the gloomy darkness reflected on his body, the mighty brilliance no longer existed, but it made her feel that he was more like an old man who was a little sad at the moment.
Xia Ling'er couldn't sit still, as if she felt a little guilty, as if she shouldn't joke about the old man's good wishes, but after thinking about it, she was also forced to protect herself.
She swallowed her saliva, stood up, and respectfully invited Marquis Mu to sit down.
"Master Hou, how can you say that you are also an elder, so you should sit! I'm not that delicate. Xia Ling'er even felt at this time that his general-like figure was no longer upright, but instead showed a lonely camel shadow.
Mu Hou Ye is now sixty and three, although he is much more mentally healthy than ordinary people of this age, but he must be in the age of sixties, compared to his success and fame, he is famous for eternity, I am afraid that what he is looking forward to the most is that his children and grandchildren are full, but who let him have a son who is not angry, Mrs. is married home one after another, but he doesn't like his women to give birth to children for him, but there is such a son, but if there is another son, I am afraid he would have given up on Mu Yichen a long time ago.
Mu Houye was stunned for a moment and sat down.
The deep voice sounded again, but it sounded much deeper.
"Actually, you are still very similar to your mother in some places, but you are much more witty than your mother, and your mother is just too kind."
Oh, yes! It is simple kindness that will be framed.
"What happened back then, which is wrong, there is no meaning, but your father still tried his best to keep your mother and daughter, but also to keep the position of your imperial brother, I have a beautiful life, and in the end I was controlled by your father, but he finally fulfilled my righteousness." Mu Houye's deep eyes looked into the distance, as if he was recalling the past, and the corners of his mouth were tearing out a blind self-deprecation from time to time.
Xia Ling'er was confused, and she didn't understand what he meant at all, what happened between her father and him?
"Did you really frame my mother?" Xia Ling'er asked weakly.
Mu Hou Ye glanced at her and laughed at himself: "The first emperor didn't believe it, how can it be considered a frame-up?" ”
Xia Ling'er's thoughts were flying, all of them were unreasonable.
At this time, the doctor really came, and Xia Ling'er was stunned.
"Give her a pulse." Mu Hou Ye said calmly, unable to tell whether he believed or doubted at all.
Xia Ling'er sat down on the chair and really stretched out her hand, she didn't seem to be particularly clear now.
"Master Hou, let's make a deal!"
Mu Hou Ye just looked at her from a distance, just sat quietly and didn't speak, Xia Ling'er continued.
"You let me go back, I don't think that thing is a very important thing for Hou Ye, even if I keep it for Hou Ye first, because I am too curious, of course, no matter what the content is there, I will keep it secret for Hou Ye, maybe, I can't see the content on it at all, or maybe I will return it to Hou Ye one day."
"I said, if you really have Yi Chen's blood and bones, I will naturally ignore this matter, just as you are happy." Mu Houye's attitude is still the same.
It's a pity that she wasn't pregnant at all, and the doctor must have known about it, but he was still quietly taking the pulse.
Xia Ling'er's heart also began to become restless, she couldn't imagine that if the doctor suddenly told him that she was not pregnant and was lying, what he would do, whether he would kill her.
Her heartbeat became more and more nervous, more and more rapid, and she twisted her eyebrows, and she really couldn't think of a good way anymore.
At this time, the doctor seemed to have finished his pulse, and suddenly felt that he let go of the hand that was pressing her pulse, Xia Ling'er suddenly pressed his hand again for no reason, and her panicked eyes stared straight at the doctor, and now the last bit of hope was that he could help herself, but she was not sure if he would help her.
"Master Hou, you haven't asked Yi Chen, why doesn't he like children?" Xia Ling'er was obviously asking Marquis Mu to speak, but her eyes did not leave the doctor's sight for a moment.
"......" Mu Hou Ye seemed to want to say something, but it seemed that he only moved his lips twice and swallowed again, if the princess was really pregnant, why would he say something to disturb her mind.
"I don't know." The simple three words made Xia Ling'er feel like she couldn't do it.
"Master Qiqi, this girl's body is not abnormal, she is healthy, and she is also a fertile physique, and it is a matter of time before she gets pregnant." The doctor still didn't understand what Xia Ling'er meant, so he resolutely got up and told the truth.
Xia Ling'er sat on the chair in a daze, expressionless for a while, yes! How dare she lie to Marquis Mu?
