Xiao Yuexi's lowered gaze shook slightly, but she didn't make a sound.

Mu Yunqing continued: "I guess, when you wrote this letter, you didn't really promise me anything, coaxing me to settle down and not prevent you from continuing to investigate the case-Yuexi, in order to stabilize me, you sacrificed a lot?" ”

Even if he didn't look at Mu Yunqing, Xiao Yuexi could imagine how gloomy his face should be at this time. However, Xiao Yuexi didn't want to explain, and for a moment, she thought: That's it, just because I never moved that mind and angered him, I can just let me go......

But Mu Yunqing didn't seem to mean that, he took a few deep breaths, as if suppressing the anger in his heart, and said again after a while: "After the letter was sent, something happened to me and I couldn't let you come back for the time being, and you also have time to regret what you said." What did you regret at the time? Although it was a question, Mu Yunqing didn't need Xiao Yuexi's answer like that, he continued: "Heh! It's okay to regret everything. You wrote the letter, I received it, I read it, and now it's too late for you to regret it. ”

Xiao Yuexi finally raised her head, glanced at him, and asked quite calmly: "You didn't plan to let me go in the first place, why did you make those promises?" ”

Mu Yun said lightly: "Who said that?" What I said that day was from the bottom of my heart. You don't have my heart here, I really don't need to forcibly detain you, but now it's different, it's your own will to stay, I haven't forced you. ”

Xiao Yuexi was speechless, so she had to say: "Whatever you want!" What else is there to ask? If not, I'm going to see the cardamom. ”

"How can you work with a sinful body, and you will see it yourself? I'll have her pass it on. After Mu Yun finished speaking indifferently, he got up and left, completely ignoring Xiao Yuexi's warning eyes - until this moment, Xiao Yuexi still refused to believe that Mu Qiao would really do such a thing.

Mu Yunqing quickly turned back after explaining, and said to Xiao Yuexi: "Although I am very worried about your body and want to stay with you, I think you probably have a lot of things to say to her alone, right?" ”

Xiao Yuexi glanced at him and didn't speak, but told him with his eyes: It's good that you know.

Mu Yun smiled helplessly, her eyes were doting and distressed: "Because for the time being, I can't find out who is behind her, so I will make people tie it strongly, so that she doesn't suddenly get into trouble." You don't have a lot to say about this. ”

“…… Good. Xiao Yuexi paused, and then said, "I don't want to lie down, let me go down and take a walk." ”

Mu Yun nodded lightly, helped her up, and took a coat for her to put on, Xiao Yuexi pushed her away in a panic when he was about to help her tie her clothes, and stammered: "I'll do it myself." He fled from His Majesty the Emperor in a panic.

Mu Yun sighed lightly, afraid that she would catch a cold, so he took a short cloak and draped it on her body, and then said softly: "Yuexi, then I'll go out first, just wait outside the door, and call me if there's anything." ”

Xiao Yuexi nodded, her hand unconsciously tightened her cloak, and she sat at the table with a slightly uneasy face, staring at the candle flame in a daze, and didn't look at him.

Mu Yun looked at her lightly for a while, and then slowly left the dormitory.

After a while, the door sounded again, and two women dressed as rough palace maids rudely twisted the cardamom and walked in and pressed it in front of Xiao Yuexi. Xu was instructed, and the two rough palace maids didn't dare to say anything, and saluted Xiao Yuexi respectfully, and then withdrew.

Xiao Yuexi looked at the cardamom kneeling in front of her in a daze, her cheeks were red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were also blue, this was the mark left after the slap, swollen like this, as if she was about to drip blood when she touched it, and she didn't know how many times she was beaten. But except for the swollen face, there doesn't seem to be any change in the body, just a little thinner.

These days, the court must have used other punishments, but Mu Yunqing didn't seem to want Xiao Yuexi to see what Mu Kom looked like after being tortured, so in such a short period of time, someone changed Mu Ko's clothes and sent it over after grooming.

Wooden Kou lowered her head and didn't say a word, Xiao Yuexi also looked at her without saying a word, and the two sides were silent for I don't know how long before Wooden Cub said calmly: "If you just want to see me, then see me too, can I go back?" ”

Xiao Yuexi's heart tightened, and a touch of sadness surged after realizing it. She tried her best to make her voice sound less trembling: "I heard the emperor say that Mu Lan heard that I was back, and she cried first at my bedside, so she persuaded her to go back to rest, and it seems that she misses me very much." What about you? I'm so easy to come back, why don't you even look at me? ”

Mukou looked up at her, and then lowered her head again.

Her expression was too calm, no remorse, no hatred, no slightest...... There was nothing, just a pool of stagnant water, not the slightest ripple.

Xiao Yuexi took a sip of the cold tea on the table, but there was something in her throat, and it took a while to swallow the tea, but she almost choked to death. Speaking again, Xiao Yuexi's voice had a hint of nasality: "I'm in Binzhou, I heard bad rumors about you, and I was half angry, I don't know if you've heard it?" These people are really, even if they can eat indiscriminately, they can't talk nonsense! I ......"

"Mrs. Xiao." Wooden Tree interrupted her indifferently, looked her in the eye and said, "If you don't believe them and want to listen to me, then I can tell you." That's what I did. ”

"Cardamom!" Xiao Yuexi shouted: "Even you are talking nonsense to me here? Is it contagious or what? ”

Mu Kom said: "Is it nonsense, Mrs. Xiao already knows it in her heart, right?" Can't you see my face? She raised her face to the candle flame, lest Madame Xiao could not see the wound on her cheek, and she smiled, a little madly. She added: "I don't mind how this injury came about, this is my punishment for insulting Mrs. Xiao in the court." ”

Xiao Yuexi looked at her calmly like this, but when she looked at it, her eyes were a little swollen, and she spoke, her voice faint: "Why ......?"

"Why?" Cardamom still laughed. Answer: "Naturally, it is the emperor's order, and if you dare to offend the high-ranking Mrs. Xiao with words, you will naturally be punished!" ”

Xiao Yuexi shook her head a little sneeringly: "No...... Cardamom, why did you suddenly become like this? ”

The smile on Mu Ko's face retreated, she stared at Xiao Yuexi gloomily, and said mockingly: "Mrs. Xiao is also a big person who has been the chief envoy of the State Supervision Department, but she still can't understand people like this!" I? I've always been like that! ”

No......

Xiao Yuexi thought. She shook her head, all she thought about was the knife mouth tofu heart, and she couldn't help but think about her everywhere the cardamom she counted all day long, as if that was the real thing, and the one in front of her didn't know which demon had changed.

Mu Kom was afraid that Xiao Yuexi would not give up, so he smiled and said: "Why, why can you be high, why can you be happy?" Your **** wanders everywhere and doesn't die, but my father is going to die tragically under the hooves of the rebels because he went up the mountain to dig a ginseng? If it weren't for your father's negligence and letting the rebels go, how would my father have died? ”

"Mother is crazy, leave me and leave...... Scold! Do you know how I felt when I was beaten up by some old beggars on the street? I'm going to let him die too! Let his children taste what I am now! Hahahahaha...... God open your eyes! They're all dead! Then I found out that it was really funny how stupid you were to make me a confidant, and I waited, waiting for the day when I would give you a slap in the face, imagining every day how you would be when you learned the truth - yes! Just like you now, it's as fun as you imagined! ”

When Mu Ko said this, she seemed to have broken off the last bit of affection between the two, she continued with excitement on her face, no matter how pale Xiao Yuexi's face was: "Originally, I thought that with your background, you would marry Ling Suihan in the end, I thought about it, and when you gave birth to his child, I would kill him, and then kill you and his child, so that you will be miserable and hateful in your life...... But who would have thought that you would have this opportunity, enter the palace and become a favorite concubine, with my ability, it is impossible to kill the king, but you can still do it if you are disgusted. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Kom paused, and a trace of resentment appeared in his eyes: "He really has a deep love for you, don't take off and send it to the bed, even if I put it in your face." I had no choice, I had to use some means, but unfortunately not only did I not succeed, but I was also caught by the old immortal of the Queen Mother, and in the end I still cheapened you! ”

The cardamom wanted to stand up, but his hands and feet were tied, and he struggled to struggle for a long time but couldn't get up, so he had to give up. She gasped and stared at Xiao Yuexi, eager to eat it alive.

Xiao Yuexi listened quietly until Cardamom was crazy enough, she staggered to her feet, walked up to her, looked at her condescendingly, and asked gently, "I'm good to you, am I really that stupid in your eyes?" ”

Woodheart sneered and asked, "What else?" ”

"Then when I was injured, why was it always you who rushed to give me medicine?" Xiao Yuexi asked.

"Why is it that every time my sister-in-law scolds someone, you are the first to stand in front of me and be scolded?"

"Why are you still accompanying me to pay tribute to your so-called father-killing enemy?"

"Why ......" Xiao Yuexi asked over and over again, and in the end, it was almost shouted. She grabbed the cardamom by the collar and lifted her up, stared straight into her eyes and roared, "If you hate her so much, why don't you just kill me?" Anyway, we don't guard against you, and a fire will burn down the house, which is enough for you to destroy my whole house! Why didn't you do that? ”

Ling Suihan changed, except for some surprises, she didn't have any substantive feelings.
