With a click, the cup fell to the ground and shattered, and the tea smeared on the red carpet.

Mu Rongfei's face was frighteningly white and ugly, his fists were clenched, his hands trembled lightly, and he said coldly for a long time, "What you said is true?"

"Mu Ran doesn't need to fake, not to mention the facts, my sister will know by herself, to say something disrespectful, my aunt is in the Mu family, I'm afraid she is not as good as a maid, my sister is growing up in the Mu family, and she must know the character of some people in the Mu family better than Mu Ran, my sister Bingxue is smart, just think about it. ”

The blood on Mu Rongfei's face faded, his eyes became more and more cold, and his chest rose and fell a few times before he gritted his teeth and said, "I thought that at least the Mu family still needs me, at least, I helped the Mu family so much, at least ......"

"People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and the family blood consciousness in the big family is always very heavy, sister...... For them, maybe it has always been another family, I wonder if after my sister entered the palace, someone in the Mu family often sent women to my sister, or asked my sister to introduce her to the emperor?"

Mu Rongfei's clenched fists tightened.

"Sister Rong, if people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. Everyone knows this truth, Mu Ran thinks that this sentence is not ruthless, when it comes to seeing who uses it, even if my sister doesn't think about herself, she has to think about her aunt, think about Shuangshuang, has my sister ever thought about it, if my sister falls out of favor one day, what is the situation of my aunt, and what will happen to Shuangshuang in this palace, this may be ugly, but I have to say it. ”

"Heh, what a pet, the emperor's favor, it's just fresh, something that is passing by the clouds......" Mu Rongfei smiled coldly and took a deep breath.

"But even if it's just a passing moment, it's hard to give up. Mu Ran looked at her helplessly.

“...... yes, after all...... ...... heart is too much" Mu Rongfei lowered his eyes, with a pale and weak smile on the corner of his mouth, "I don't know that his heart has long been absent from me, and what he still maintains now is just a trace of the emperor's unwillingness and competitiveness." ”

"Sister Rong actually sees it very clearly. ”

"Yes, I just understand it, there are some things, I understand, but there is nothing I can do. ”

Mu Ran lowered his eyes and didn't speak again.

Mu Rongfei got up and walked to the door, raising his eyes to look at the sky outside the palace, "After all, it's just a caged bird." ”

When he left the palace in the evening, Mu Rongfei didn't come out with them after all, and only let Feng Lingshuang come out with them.

There was silence in the carriage all the way.

Feng Lingshuang was already quiet, and without her mother by her side, she was always a little uncomfortable, and Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know what she and Concubine Rong said, but when she saw the two of them, she could sense that the two of them were in a bad mood.

Because of the presence of the children, she couldn't ask anything, so she had to be patient.

Mu Ran kept turning his head to look out of the carriage window, his hand gently running the hair of the girl in his arms for a while, looking at the prosperity outside, he would always think of the cold and empty palace, now that there is no wind and frost, whether it is colder and emptyer.

At night, in the Yufei Palace, Concubine Rong was caressing the piano, and the palace maid came in to report, "Niangniang, the emperor is here." ”

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

There was silence for a while.

Qiu Xuan looked at her master's appearance, and couldn't help but have a trace of worry between her eyebrows, "Niangniang, but you want a slave ......."

"No, let's go out and pick it up. Concubine Rong took a deep breath and got up.

"The concubines see the emperor's ......"

"Eh, excuse me, you're not in good health, didn't I say you don't need these false courtesies. The emperor hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Thank you for the emperor's grace, but the gift cannot be abolished. ”

The emperor frowned slightly, and turned to the surrounding people, "Stand down." ”

"Yes. ”

After everyone left, the emperor pulled Mu Rongfei to sit down, "Are you complaining that I have snubbed you these days?"

"The emperor thought about it a lot. ”

Seeing that the other party was still drooping his eyes, and his face showed no emotion, the emperor couldn't help but feel more unhappy and irritable in his heart, and snorted coldly, "Yes, maybe you prefer that I never come, these years, I don't have to say anything to you, even if the stone can cover the heat, but you are still like this." ”

Unable to get a response from the other party, the emperor's face became even more ugly, he took a deep breath, and still suppressed his anger, "Why don't you go with Mu Ran, are you angry and forcing you?"

"The emperor is too worried, the concubine is just unwell, not to mention, I haven't seen him for so many years, and it is inevitable that I will be embarrassed to meet suddenly, and there is frost. ”

After the words, it was inevitable that it would be cold again.

After a long while, the emperor spoke again, but his tone softened, "You are not feeling well, why don't you get more people in the palace to take care of you, I heard that you don't look for an imperial doctor, are you taking your body and putting your anger on me." ”

"It's just an old illness, with the weather coming and going, it will be fine in a few days, it's late at night, the emperor should rest early, and he will go to court tomorrow." ”

"Good. The emperor's eyes lit up suddenly, but he heard her say again, "The concubine is unwell and can't serve the emperor well, so please forgive the emperor." ”

The emperor's face immediately darkened.

"No need, since you are sick, you should have a good rest. After saying that, he got up, threw his sleeves and left with a black face.

"Mother, rest early, don't think about it. Qiu Xuan came in and looked at Concubine Rong who was sitting at the table, with a touch of distress in her eyes.

"Qiu Xuan, in this palace...... It was so cold, I thought I was used to it......"

"Master. Qiu Xuan's voice was a little hoarse, and tears couldn't help but fall.

Feng Lingshuang arrived at the Lu family, which really gave the Lu family a lot of shock.

At first, the Lu family only thought that this was the child of Lin Xiaoxiao's family, and when Mu Ran reported his name, except for Lu Mingyi, everyone else was silent.

"How do you know this?" Lu Kaiyan asked.

"Dad do you remember that Mu Ran was arrested in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Later, Ling Lang checked it, originally to find out if there was anyone who wanted to be unfavorable to you, but he didn't want to find out about it, if the emperor hadn't mentioned it today, Ran Er wouldn't have said it. ”

"The emperor mentioned it?" After Lu Kaiyan was surprised, he frowned and sighed deeply, how could he not guess the emperor's plan.

"How is she?" Li Shi saw that the old man was silent, his expression was heavy and helpless, so he had to help ask.

"Lonely lamp cold, such a big house, there are few people empty, how can it be good, women in the palace, there are many helpless, the red face is not old and the grace is broken first......" Mu Ran sighed.

Li Shi was also silent, and in just a few words, he could know how she was doing, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lu Kaiyan.

But Lu Kaiyan couldn't say anything except frowning.

Mu Ran looked at the two of them, and was silent for a while before saying, "Dad, mother, I also know some things back then, and Mu Ran doesn't know whether to say something or not." ”

"What are you going to say?" Lu Kai said.

"Dad doesn't need to blame himself, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, no one is right or wrong about that matter, what Dad did was just to keep his promise and fulfill his filial piety, and there was no fault, what Mu Ran wanted to say was that Dad swore that he couldn't let Sister Rong enter the family tree and couldn't recognize each other, but he didn't say that the people in the family couldn't associate with him. ”

Lu Kaiyan frowned, glanced at the Li family, and the Li family asked, "What do you mean?"

"Ran'er saw that Sister Rong was really pitiful today, and she couldn't bear it, and she loved Frost very much, so she thought that she could help some, even if she often talked and walked around, and she couldn't talk about it with her relatives, so she made friends with her. ”

"This ...... It also makes sense, but the emperor ...... "The emperor obviously deliberately wants to use Murong Fei to pull in the relationship, and in such a situation, is it ......

"Dad, I believe in Sister Rong, and since I also have the emperor's intention, why not follow it, now that my identity is here, even if I don't have Sister Rong, I'm afraid the emperor is also eyeing the road of the Prime Minister's Mansion, maybe one day the daughter of the Nalu family will enter the palace. ”

The faces of the husband and wife changed instantly.

"Dad, mother, companion is like a tiger, this sentence is the same for both you and Sister Rong, we always have to find a way out for ourselves, after all, we are not alone, there are too many things to worry about. ”

"I ......" Lu Kaiyan opened his mouth, and finally had to sigh heavily and shake his head helplessly.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, he doesn't know, it's just ......

"Alas, whatever you want, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't do anything that endangers the emperor of the country, then, for my father, I know that your identity is different now, and your mentality will be different, but the emperor is still the emperor after all, and the Divine Doctor Valley is there...... You should also be more careful, and don't go too far. ”

"Dad, don't worry, Mu Ran knows all this. Mu Ran smiled slightly, and did not have any bad emotions because of being trained.

"Heh, don't always take out the posture of the court, okay, then, you must be tired today, go and rest first, I'll take care of Shuangshuang, this girl is new to here, I'm afraid she will recognize her life. ”

"Hehe, then it's troublesome. Mu Ran smiled, nodded and left.

After she left, Li looked at Lu Kaiyan, "Master, time has passed, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have passed away for so many years, after all, she is bleeding the blood of the Lu family, and she is also the only bloodline left by the third uncle. ”

"Well, I don't want to, okay, I just said, let it be you, go see the child. Lu Kaiyan sighed.

"You guys talked about something today, and you don't look happy. At night, on the couch, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask Mu Ran, who didn't feel the slightest sleep, she had been holding back this question for a long time, it was really uncomfortable, and if she didn't figure it out, it was estimated that she wouldn't be able to sleep today.

Mu Ran looked at the top of the tent and was silent for a while before briefly telling her about the conversation between her and Mu Rongfei today.

Lin Xiaoxiao was surprised, "I always feel like you are thinking about her everywhere, but isn't it the first time you have been with her?"

"......" Mu Ran was silent for a while before he said lightly, "It's probably fate, just like knowing you, at first glance, I think you are someone who can be a close friend." ”

"Oh, your mouth is getting sweeter. Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing out loud, and raised her hand to pinch her face, "But this also makes sense, then why do you want to persuade her to leave, since she cares about that man, it is better to help her." ”

"What do you want to help her? become a queen, or completely capture the heart of the emperor and spoil the harem?" Mu Ran sneered.

After Lin Xiaoxiao asked it, she also felt that she had asked a stupid question, not to mention that the emperor's heart is not easy to grasp, and even if he does, he can't catch it for a lifetime.

It is impossible to favor the harem alone, and the meaning of the existence of the harem is not only to continue the royal heirs, but also to balance the forces of the government and the opposition.

What's more, if a woman really has three thousand favors in one, then I am afraid that tens of millions of people in the harem want her to die, and it is simply jumping into a fire pit.
