164. Confidante
Empress Dowager Yin couldn't afford to be sick because the emperor wanted to make Mu Lian a concubine, Li Ge personally checked her mother's pulse to recuperate for her, and finally got better, but she never said a word to her son.
The son was jumping into the fire pit, and she couldn't watch the emperor destroy Silla for a woman. She wants to take care of her body, and now she is trying to find a way to get rid of the woman in order to prevent future troubles.
Mu Elegy learned that the emperor had appointed Mu Bangshang as the imperial concubine, and Li Ge did not give up her position as the queen, which was already his benevolence.
Zhu'er found that Mu Elegy was silent, listless, and had a cold expression, and spent most of her time sleeping.
This reminded Zhu'er of when Mu Bangshang was leaving, she once reminded her to try to talk to her more every day, so as not to let her think cranky.
Two days later, Mu Bangshang was arrested again in the Silla Imperial Palace Gyeongun Palace, only this time there was one more person Yingji.
Mu Bangshang was very annoyed, and said to Cui Hu: "I'm going to Kangning Hall to see my sister." ”
Cui Hu unceremoniously refused: "The emperor said that the mother of the middle temple is recuperating and cannot be disturbed." The concubine Niangniang can only be in Qingyun Palace. ”
Mu Bangshang was grounded, she had to be able to go out to find out about her sister's news, and she was still very worried about her and Huan'er.
Slender white fingertips pointed at Yingji, "Yingji, she should be able to go out." ”
Cui Hu frowned, Mu Bangshang is commensurate with the Ying Ji sisters, and it is a good handle. Yingji is just a little girl who has just come to the ramp, and she can't make much waves.
"Let her stay in Qingyun Palace for the time being as the maid of the concubine Niangniang, and she can walk in the harem. If you go to the wrong place, say something you shouldn't say, or do something you shouldn't do. and shall be punished even with the rod. Cui Hu threatened.
Ying Ji entered the palace for the first time, and she looked forward to coming to the palace more than Mu Bangshang along the way, but she didn't expect to become the palace maid of Qingyun Palace.
The Silla palace maid has been raised in the palace since she was six years old, and she can be promoted to the palace maid after the selection and assessment again and again.
You can also meet the emperor, and they all say that the emperor is the most handsome man in Silla, even if he looks at it from a distance, he is satisfied.
Cui Hu left, Mu Bangshang was extremely depressed, and smashed the cup on the low table, she wanted to escape, but she was still caught.
Young-hee stepped forward to clean up the things on the ground, "It's a shame that these things fell. ”
"Young-hee, I want to be quiet."
"Alright! Na Yingji went out. ”
"Wait, you help me go to the Kangning Hall to deliver a letter to the middle hall, she is my sister, you just need to say that it is the maid of Qingyun Palace, and you will be let in."
Mu Wanshang was worried about her sister, so she took pen and ink and wrote a letter and handed it to Yingji.
The layout of Silla's imperial palace is criss-crossed, and it is easy to get lost, and it is specially marked on the map that Gyeongungung Palace is 432 steps to the left, and 112 steps to the right can see the Kangning Palace.
Ying Ji took the letterhead in her hand, and Mu Bangshang explained it clearly, even if a blind person touched it, he could find it, not to mention Quan Ying Ji, who had been in the market for 16 years.
There were guards at the door, and Mu Bangshang couldn't go out at all, except for worrying about her sister, she wanted to send Ying Ji away quietly.
She has already fled once, and Qingyun Palace has strengthened its guards, and she can't fly out even if she has wings.
Xuanyuan's reckless people will soon come to Silla, and the two countries will negotiate peace and she will be brought to Silla, and if the two countries go to war, with Xuanyuan's reckless ambitions, Silla will be in danger.
If Silla is defeated, she will still be taken back by Xuanyuan's reckless people, Mu Bangshang has a headache, and it seems that she has only one ending to choose from.
Ying Ji carefully counted her steps, and soon came to the Kangning Palace, where a maidservant girl stepped forward to stop her.
Seeing that Yingji was not dressed in palace clothes, "You are a girl outside the palace, how did you run to the bedroom of the lady in the middle hall."
"My name is Ying Ji and I am the palace maid of Qingyun Palace, and my noble concubine Niangniang ordered Ying Ji to send a letter to the middle temple Niangniang."
They knew that the lady of Qingyun Palace, who escaped from the palace a few days ago, and now she was made a concubine by the emperor, has she been arrested. Don't dare to slack off.
"You're waiting outside the temple now."
The maidservant went into the inner hall to inform Zhu'er, who heard that it was a letterhead sent by Mu Wanshang's order.
"Let her in!"
Ying Ji slowly stepped into the main hall, which was gorgeously furnished and envied. Afraid that others would say that she was a hillbilly, she deliberately restrained her eyes.
Zhu'er saw the woman coming from outside the hall, with cunning in her eyes, and she was not a peaceful person at first glance.
I haven't seen it in the palace, "You are the palace maid of Qingyun Palace, which palace you were originally in, why haven't you seen it?" ”
"The slave is new to the palace." She heard that the lady of the middle temple was still in the middle of the month and would not see her in person, so she handed the letterhead directly to Zhu'er.
"Sister Lao handed it over to the middle temple mother, if you have anything to say, you can write down the slave and the maid to hand it over on your behalf. If not, the slave and maid will retire. ”
If you can't see Yingji, after Niangniang has read the letterhead, "You wait outside the hall again!" ”
Zhu'er stepped into the hall with a letterhead, Mu Elegy was still asleep, and gently shook her awake, "Niangniang, Madame was arrested, and now she is locked up in Qingyun Palace, and she sent a maidservant to send a letterhead." ”
Hearing that Mu Wanshang had a letterhead, all the sleepiness dissipated instantly, and Zhu'er helped her sit up and handed the letterhead over.
Mu Bangshang was afraid that Mu Wangge would become depressed after being stimulated, and there was only such a relative in this world.
The letter was close to words of concern, persuading her to look at everything for the sake of the child, and Mu Elegy burst into tears after reading it.
Even though she was abandoned by the emperor in the Kangning Palace, Zhu'er had never seen Mu Elegy crying so sadly.
Mu Elegy cried happily, and the grievances and depression that had been pressed in his heart were unraveled, and his mood was much soothed.
"Pearl. Go and tell the maidservant to pass the word, and say that you are careful of danger, and it is very good not to read it. ”
At the same time, Mu Bangshang was a little upset and irritable when she was locked up in Qingyun Palace, and she heard the sound of footsteps at the door, she was in a hurry, it was not Yingji, it should be Li Ge's.
rushed to the door in a hurry, wanting to plug in the latch, but was pulled by someone, and his whole body hit Li Ge's arms.
Li Ge turned around and picked her up, his chest was hit by him and he snorted, and he frowned in pain when he saw Mu Wansang.
"Well deserved! Who told you to rush in and close the door. ”
"Mu Bangshang pushed him away, you know that I don't want to stay, and you will arrest me back, what is the difference between Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan?"
Xuanyuan's reluctance to help him restore the country was just a transaction, and he also paid the corresponding price, "Ah Shang, don't compare me to that despicable villain. I know that you are afraid of Xuanyuan and will leave, and this time I will protect you even if I fight to the death. ”
Mu Bangshang was not moved when he heard his words, but angry, "Where did you put the people of Silla? For the sake of your own illegitimate life, you have a wife and children who love you, and you don't admit it ruthlessly. Li Ge, I really misunderstood it at the beginning. You are such a responsible person. ”
"Do you want me to give up my beloved woman to me, and to be ** is to be responsible. I've lost it once, and I don't want to lose it a second time. ”
"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, you must focus on the overall situation at all times, Mu Bangshang is just an ordinary woman, the broken flowers and willows are lost, it is not worth such a big price for Your Majesty."
"Do you think that if I let you go, you will be able to escape Xuanyuan's control? He will not hit the attention of Silla, his hand has reached Silla. ”
Mu Wansheng's body stiffened, could it be that Li Ge had noticed Xuanyuan's reckless ambition and knew that someone had deliberately sent her to Silla.
Li Ge slowly approached, hugged her in his arms, closed his eyes slightly, and his handsome cheeks sniffed the fragrance in her hair.
"Holding you like this, I feel warm in my heart. Promise me. Don't say no. Even if it's just a moment of warmth, don't leave any regrets. ”
His lips were imprinted on her forehead, a dense kiss like rain, with a slight saltiness and astringency, and his moving face was heartbreaking.
The kiss, which was still a little green, became more and more hot, Mu Wanshang closed her eyes and did not respond.
His hand had touched his waist, slightly nervous, except for that time, he had not touched any other woman, this was his first night in the true sense of the word.
Mu Bangshang was very scared, if the two broke through that relationship and became Li Ge's woman, he would really fight with Xuanyuan without any scruples. When the lives are ruined, she will be ruined.
Tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and any feelings in front of the overall situation can be discarded and trade-off.
Mu Wansheng's hand pressed the palm on his waist, and he used all his strength to push him away, "I don't love you, don't touch me." ”
"Dress, your body has betrayed you."
"No, that's just desire. Compared to your caution, I love Xuanyuan more than you, and being with him will make people ****. As soon as the words came out, my heart was broken, in order to reject him, such a shameless word could come out of her mouth.
Being with Xuanyuan is worse than death, a nightmare that can never escape, and her broken body is not worthy of him.
Mu Bangshang's words hurt Li Ge's self-esteem, and he frantically pounced on her, "How can you practice yourself like this." If he is really good to you, why did he escape, why did he kill himself? ”
"I'm cheap, I'm in love with my own man, and I plan to have a child for him. If it weren't for his woman's frame-up, I would have borne a child for him. I'm just a, a broken flower and a willow, if you don't touch me, it will stain you. ”
Hearing that Mu Bangshang had reduced herself to the dust, Li Ge was very distressed, tears slid down her cheeks, afraid that she would say something even more distressing.
"I don't touch you. I don't want your body, I want you as a person. ”
Mu Wanshang slowly opened his eyes and saw that he really didn't move.
Li Ge leaned on her and sat on the warm kang, "Shang, you don't know, I liked you from the first time I saw you." It's just that you threw yourself into the arms of Xuanyuan. Compared with Xuanyuan, he is just a waste under the fence attached to others, and has been forbearing, and slowly found that the two people have a lot of similarities, you are kind and forbearing, know honor and disgrace, know how to advance and retreat, are knowledgeable, and like a quiet and peaceful life, and I am very glad that I can find a confidant in this world. ”
"The most touching thing is that when you had nothing and were the most depressed, you refused Xuanyuan and chose to go back to Silla with me. If you treat me like this, I will protect me all the days of my life. But what did they do? You will leave for my sake, and you will suffer humiliation. but I became king, married and had children. This country was originally bought with your humiliation and sacrifice, and you deserve it. ”
"I'm very incompetent, I didn't protect you. This time, let me protect you, even if I am broken. ”
