Volume 1 The Orphan Girl of the Imperial Capital Chapter 55 Implicit Murder
Mu Yunlan sat on the seat below, feeling all kinds of bright and dark sights around her, and her expression was indifferent and motionless.
Mu Qingyao was a little anxious in her heart: How did she sit down, didn't Princess Huaiqing plan to dispose of her?
A maid personally brought refreshments, Mu Yunlan was not polite, and ate directly: I don't know what awaits her later, but I'm going to be full at this time.
As for poisoning the dim sum and tea cups, she wasn't too worried, Princess Huaiqing didn't find fault with her, if she poisoned herself directly, then the responsibility would be great, even if she was a princess, she had to consider the consequences.
"Today's palace set up a banquet, invite you to come to enjoy the apricot blossoms, but just enjoy the flowers is boring, a few days ago, the palace saw a dancing girl, she danced beautifully, and even danced on the drum, you can have the heart to appreciate one or two?"
As soon as the words of the eldest princess Huaiqing came out, everyone echoed one after another: "It is here that the eldest princess can have such a blessing in our eyes." ”
"yes, it's amazing to be able to dance on the drums."
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Huaiqing hooked the corners of his lips and waved his hand at Mama Han: "Go, call people out." ”
Soon, eight teenagers in plain robes walked up with drums the size of copper basins. These eight teenagers looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with slender stature, handsome faces, and a faint sharpness between their eyebrows.
Mu Yunlan heard someone behind her whispering, saying that these men were all the faces of the eldest princess's private raisers.
A dancer dressed in white, holding a red silk stick, walked up and danced gently as the musician began to play.
This dancing girl has an extraordinarily slender waist, dancing as if she is flying, and she is extraordinarily light.
A young man with a drum is half squatting, and the dancing girl jumps on the drum surface, and as the man gets up, she dances enchantingly on the drum surface, only to see that she jumps from one drum to the other, light and agile like a butterfly, and it is amazing to see.
The music became urgent, and the dancing girl jumped high with the help of the strength of the drum-wielding boy, and at this moment, the drum-wielding teenagers below suddenly all dispersed, and the dancing girl was defenseless and fell heavily to the ground from mid-air.
Everyone was full of admiration and could see it, until Mai Ji fell heavily to the ground, and some of them couldn't react.
The young lady closest to the dancing girl suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! ”
Mu Yunlan's eyes trembled, and the dancing girl's legs were bent in a weird arc, and they were broken directly.
Princess Huaiqing frowned, and her voice carried a hint of displeasure: "What kind of bad luck is this today, one after another is unpleasant, as a dancing girl, she can't even dance well, so what are you still alive for?" ”
The dancing girl was covered in cold sweat in pain, but when she heard this, she couldn't care about the broken leg: "The princess spares her life, the princess spares her life!" ”
"It's too noisy, drag it down!" Although I didn't say how to deal with it, I probably won't survive.
Seeing the dancing girl being dragged away, the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became cold.
The eldest princess of Huaiqing didn't seem to notice it, glanced around among the many women, and said with a smile: "I heard that the imperial capital has been particularly lively recently, and the sword dance and peacock dance have attracted people to imitate it, but is there such a thing?" ”
Mu Qingyao's heart tightened, thinking of the fate of the dancing girl just now, she couldn't help but feel cold: "Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, that sword dance is what my fourth sister is good at." ”
"Oh?" Huaiqing's gaze fell on Mu Yunlan, with an indescribable light, "Most of the women's sword dances are fancy shelves, beautiful but useless, I don't know if your sword dance is like this?" ”
Mu Yunlan got up, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant: "Back to the eldest princess, although the sword dance focuses on performing moves, it is also somewhat useful. She had already seen it clearly, even if she said that the sword dance was useless, Princess Huaiqing would not let her go, and this time today, it was useless to endure and retreat.
Huaiqing hooked the corners of his lips, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, and he said to the eight young men with drums: "That's the case, how about you accompany Miss Mu to practice?" ”
Yue Xiaohan got up suddenly: "Auntie, what's so beautiful about a woman's sword dance, if you want to enjoy it, why don't I perform for you?" ”
Mu Qingyao pulled her handkerchief tightly, if her eyes could kill, she couldn't wait to break Mu Yunlan's body into pieces: Cousin, if you want to protect Mu Yunlan, it depends on whether the eldest princess agrees!
Huaiqing waved his hand: "I've watched your sword dance a lot of times, and it's not interesting to watch it again, but the women's sword dance hasn't been appreciated much, so don't hurry up and bring the long sword over." ”
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately sent the long sword to Mu Yunlan.
As early as when several teenagers came up, Mu Yunlan had carefully observed them, and now looking at their posture with swords, he immediately understood that he had guessed well, they were all good at swordsmanship.
Yue Xiaohan was anxious, but there was no way to stop it.
Mu Qingyao looked excited: The eldest princess finally made a move, she wanted the teenagers to directly abolish Mu Yunlan!
Mu Yunlan lowered her eyes slightly, and her long and thick eyelashes covered the coldness under her eyes: Sword dance practice, it is normal to have a bump and bump, after all, the sword has no eyes......
Several teenagers were scattered around, and Mu Yunlan stood in the middle, feeling the murderous intent looming around him, and the aura around him froze.
The eight teenagers saluted at the same time: "Miss Mu, please advise!" ”
As soon as the words fell, eight long swords that flashed with cold light attacked Mu Yunlan.
Mu Yunlan was on full alert and did not dare to relax in the slightest.
Two fists are hard to beat four hands, and now her martial arts have not fully recovered, and she has to deal with so many people at the same time, and she will be injured if she is not careful.
The cold blades intersect, and the cold glow shines. The eight teenagers shot sharply, and the upper, middle and lower three roads rushed towards Mu Yunlan in unison.
Yue Xiaohan clenched his fists, and seeing that Mu Yunlan was struggling to deal with it, he got up and was about to step forward to help.
Mu Qingyao grabbed him, and her voice was full of eagerness: "Cousin, have you forgotten your aunt's words?" ”
Yue Xiaohan stopped and gritted his teeth: on the surface, he and the two imperial brothers were evenly matched, but in fact, his maternal ancestor Qi's family had the shallowest background and the most weak foundation, which was also the reason why he chose to forbear and retreat many times. Now, his mother has been demoted to a concubine, and the support of Princess Huaiqing has become more and more important.
The smile on the corner of Princess Huaiqing's lips became deeper and deeper, especially when she saw Mu Yunlan's arm being scratched, the happiness in her eyes almost overflowed.
In the field, Mu Yunlan once again narrowly dodged a sword stabbed at her cheek, but her arm was stabbed by someone, the pain entered her brain, and the murderous intent in her heart burst out. These people are ruthless, and if they don't resist with all their might, they will be seriously injured even if they are lucky not to die today.
Everyone suddenly found that Mu Yunlan, who was originally tired of coping, suddenly made a sharp move, and stabbed a young man in two strokes and kicked him aside.
Huaiqing's eyebrows furrowed, and his face sank faintly.
The teenagers noticed the change in her expression, and immediately got up desperately, regardless of their own injuries, they wanted to hit Mu Yunlan hard.
There was silence around, and everyone had already guessed the intention of the eldest princess Huaiqing, but no one stood up and said a word to stop them.
At the moment of crisis when Mu Yunlan was frequently injured, a slender figure appeared in the apricot forest.
He was dressed in a light cyan robe with a belt of the same color, and his clothes were light and elegant without any pattern decoration, but he looked more luxurious than a jewel and jade on his body.
A young man fell at the man's feet, his sword falling, scratching the corner of the man's robe. The guard behind him stepped forward and kicked the boy out with a single kick.
The young man flew out, just in time to knock away the long sword that had attacked in front of Mu Yunlan.
Mu Qingyao was excitedly waiting to see Mu Yunlan's blood splashed on the spot, but she didn't want to kill her halfway to bite the gold, she turned her head to look over hatefully, and her expression suddenly became a little trance: "King Ning'an......"
The person who came was Yue Jingxuan!
Mu Yunlan had multiple injuries on her body, and she couldn't support it at this time, and she knelt on the ground with the long sword in her hand. Suddenly, a faint shadow was cast overhead, she looked up, a drop of sweat flowed into her eyes, and there was some hot pain, making the backlit figure in front of her a little blurred.
When the wind blew and the petals flew all over the sky, he came against the light, carrying a bright sun behind him......
Mu Yunlan suddenly felt that the man in front of her was very good-looking, better than all the men she had ever seen.
Yue Jingxuan had a smile on his face, but his heart was full of dark clouds, and there was a storm. Originally, he thought that he would be able to restrain himself, but when he saw Mu Yunlan covered in injuries and his face was pale, all the anger that had before surged into his heart, making him want to kill everyone present!
He unbuttoned his cloak and put it on Mu Yunlan, blocking her clothes that had been cut by the sword.
A faint cold fragrance came to the tip of her nose, Mu Yunlan was stunned for a moment, raised her hand to hold the cloak that was still carrying body temperature, and suddenly felt a faint grievance in her heart.
The smile on Princess Huaiqing's face had disappeared without a trace, and she got up to look at Yue Jingxuan, her eyes shaking violently: "Fifteenth Emperor Brother, why are you here?" ”
Yue Jingxuan straightened up, and his tone was not the slightest strange: "I heard that the apricot blossoms on the imperial sister's mansion are blooming, so come and watch it." ”
Just here to enjoy the flowers? Princess Huaiqing didn't believe his words at all, her eyes swept over Mu Yunlan who was wearing Yue Jingxuan's cloak, and she thought quickly in her heart.
Mama Han reported to her before, saying that Mu Yunlan had saved Yue Jingxuan in the palace, but she didn't think so. is also a member of the royal family, she knows Yue Jingxuan very well, this younger brother seems to be as warm as jade, but in fact, he is too shallow to describe him as cold heart and cold lungs, and his blood and bone marrow are all ice ballast.
It's just that, looking at it today, he seems to be a little different from this Mu Yunlan......
Thinking about it, Huaiqing looked at the eight sword-wielding young men in the field, and his voice was filled with anger: "It's just a drill, you guys have no sense of proportion, come here, drag them down, break the tendons, and don't allow them to use swords again." ”
Yue Jingxuan's smile was always faint, making it difficult to see the true emotion: "Spring is thick, it's not good to be covered with blood, since these people hurt the young lady of the Mu family, let her deal with it." ”
Huaiqing frowned, looked at Shangyue Jingxuan's eyes, and pursed the corners of his lips slightly: "Okay, it should be handled like this." ”
Yue Jingxuan smiled slightly, found an empty place to sit down, stretched out his hand to catch the falling petals, and his eyes were as indifferent as water: "Sister Huang doesn't mind having one more flower admirer, right?" ”
"I can't ask for it," Huaiqing turned his head to look at Mama Han, "I changed the cup for King Ning'an again, and used the thin-tired white jade glass cup that I treasured." ”
Mu Yunlan stood up and walked back to her seat with some unsteady steps. Yue Xiaohan stepped forward and stretched out her hand to support her, but she dodged coldly.
"There is a difference between men and women, and the three princes are self-respecting."
