Chapter Fifty-Six: Something to Ask For

Mu Yun glanced at her lightly, didn't take the glass of water, and just said coldly: "I seem to have said, don't shake this face in front of my eyes." ”

Mu Lan lowered her eyes, and she couldn't see her expression clearly against the light, so she only heard her speak calmly: "After dinner, Mu Kom saw a little eunuch sneakily out of the Qingliang Palace, followed all the way, and saw him go to the Longevity Palace, thinking that the Queen Mother was suspicious. ”

Mu Yun raised his eyebrows lightly and glanced at Mu Lan meaningfully: "Oh? Why haven't I heard you talk about it before? ”

Mu Lan hung her head and didn't answer. Mu Yunqing didn't seem to want to hear her answer, waved his hand, and said, "It doesn't matter if she has doubts or not, I don't care about this." You said it, I listened, so I'll take your face out if it's nothing. ”

Hearing this, Mu Lan put down the teacup silently, slowly got up and took three steps back, and then turned to leave. Mu Yun stared at her back, his eyes were gloomy, and his thoughts returned to the second night of Xiao Yuexi's departure.

After approving the folds, His Majesty the Emperor dragged his tired body back to the dormitory, and saw a pretty figure in thin clothes making a bed for him.

When she walked towards her with the same posture as Xiao Yuexi, Mu Yunqing's face sank completely.

"Mrs. Xiao" asked softly, "Does the emperor want to change clothes?" Although he was asking, his slender ten fingers had already hooked Mu Yunqing's belt, and he untied it effortlessly, and his soft hand caressed his strong chest......

Those hands were small, Mu Yun grabbed them with one hand, and the other hand instantly pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her eyes to look at herself. This dough is so delicately made that you can't see any flaws. Mu Lan's clear eyes were covered with a layer of haze, and the skin covered the color of her face, but just looking at her eyes, you could imagine the ripe cheeks under her skin.

It's really like learning...... Mu Yun sighed lightly, but his gaze was infinitely cold.

"Mu Lan ......" Mu Yun bit the words lightly and said her identity very seriously, and then sneered: "I can't see that there are people like you around her." ”

Mu Lan took a step forward, and her whole body was pasted up, but Mu Yun was light but unmoved, and when she pasted it, she shook off her hand with all her strength, allowing her to stand unsteadily and fall to the ground.

"You're her person, no matter what you do, it's not my turn to speak, get out! Don't put this face on your face in front of my eyes! ”

After that, Mu Lan seemed to have stopped, but Mu Yunqing's vigilance against her had reached the point where she couldn't relax.

Thinking back to reality, Mu Yun read thoughtfully: "Can't the people around Yuexi be trustworthy?" ”

This Mu Lan, as soon as the master walked on the front foot, she couldn't wait to show her ability, and the meaning of climbing the dragon couch was very obvious. And what about cardamom? Although the small actions that Mu Lan made were deliberately avoiding Mu Kom, did Mu Ko really have no idea? Is the lack of heart and lungs her true temperament, or is it enough to hide his acting skills?

Thinking of this, Mu Yunqing's head began to hurt again, and the anxiety in his heart became more and more intense.

"Tsk......" Mu Yun lightly rubbed his tightened eyebrows, and read irritably: "How can you be so uneasy?" Yuexi ......"

The name came out of his mouth, as if with magical power, which made him wake up in an instant, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a very likely situation jumped out: Yuexi her...... Won't there be any disaster that can't be ended?

——————

Xiao Yuexi, who had a catastrophe, didn't know how many waves were hidden in the palace, and I slept peacefully in the small world in the dungeon. There was no sun or moon in the room, and she couldn't tell the time, so she sat up from the bed in a bit of confusion, and looked around blankly, only then did she remember where she was.

"What time is it?" It was a casual question, but she didn't want God to send someone to solve her puzzles very appropriately.

I heard a sound outside the iron gate, and after a while, a few people came in. The one who started was still the broken gong, followed by several men, all of whom were not very old, and they didn't dare to look around. When they came in, some of them put their food boxes on the table, and set up a table with food and wine. There are four walks to make up the lamp oil. There are also those who change the ice and bring water to serve the washing, which can be said to be taken care of.

Breaking Gong pulled his uncomfortable voice and laughed: "Mrs. Xiao slept well last night?" ”

Xiao Yuexi just finished rinsing her mouth and wiped her face, before she replied calmly: "It's okay." When his eyes fell on the table that looked delicious, he chuckled and said, "Yo! So rich? The treatment of my prisoners is okay! ”

"Haha! Mrs. Xiao laughed! Your status is noble, how dare we snub you! Please. ”

Xiao Yuexi was not polite, walked to the table and sat down, looked at the porridge in front of her and did not move, but pulled a grape that was placed on the table yesterday and threw it in her mouth, the sweet and sour taste seemed to be very suitable for her, and she ate two grains in succession, then picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of fried crystal green celery and put it in front of her eyes, and then threw it back, raised her eyes to look at the broken gong voice, and suddenly hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Cartilage is scattered!" Such a good thing to honor me, are you willing to do it? ”

For the first time, he couldn't maintain a smile in front of Xiao Yuexi, the corners of his lips stiffened, as if he wanted to justify something, but Xiao Yuexi didn't give him this opportunity, and then said: "If you want me to die, you can directly stab me a few times, this kind of small means that can starve me to death at most, I advise you to save it!" ”

Po Gong was silent for a moment, then slapped his palm on the head of the man who was clothed, and scolded angrily in a fake and real way: "Bastard! Is Mrs. Shaw someone else? How could this kind of treatment of prisoners be put into Mrs. Xiao's meal? Are you tired of being crooked?! ”

The child was already afraid, but he was even more stunned when he was beaten like this, and he didn't dare to say anything when he lowered his head, and there was a pitiful smell for no reason.

Xiao Yuexi hooked the corners of her lips, looking at this scene as if watching a play, without saying a word.

Po Gong turned his gaze back, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xiao, forgive me, these unlucky children are not sensible, let them change in the future." As he spoke, he yelled at a few people in a vicious voice: "What are you doing in a daze? Waiting for Lao Tzu to tell you what to do? ”

A few hapless children withdrew their food from the table and fled in panic.

Xiao Yuexi stretched her waist, walked around the house as if no one was around, and finally broke her voice and couldn't hold her breath, and suddenly said: "Mrs. Xiao is not chaotic in the face of danger, it is really admirable!" ”

Xiao Yuexi glanced back at him, and said with a sneer: "Otherwise, what should I do?" Crying and shouting for you to let me out? ”

Broken Gong's voice was dumb, only to hear her say again: "If you can go out like that, I don't mind crying, making trouble and hanging yourself in front of you." ”

What she is best at is judging the situation, and naturally knows when to respond with what attitude. At the moment, their seemingly preferential treatment is actually the attitude of house arrest, obviously saving her life for another purpose, it is them who should be anxious instead of her, as soon as the time comes, or they don't need to wait for the time to come, they will be the first to lose their breath.

Offering delicious food and drink, it is not for nothing, Xiao Yuexi is not stupid, although she doesn't know what she has to worry about, but she can also see that her situation is delicate.

On the one hand, they want to use her for something, and on the other hand, they are trying to curry favor with her and let her guard down.

If it was to contain Mu Yunqing, there was no need to be so troublesome, and if she was tossed to the point that her bones were broken and her face was haggard, and then she was sent to Mu Yunqing, the effect was estimated to be better. That's why Xiao Yuexi felt that they were currying favor and not using it enough, and they wanted her to be used willingly, which was a bit excessive. Xiao Yuexi felt funny just thinking about it.

The iron door was pushed open again, but it was not the hapless children who had come in before.

The man who came was long, and a moon-white cloak embroidered with silver threads covered himself tightly, not even showing his head, Rao was like this, he seemed to be still uneasy, and a wide silver mask covered his face under the broad brim, like a humanoid ice cube, exuding cold air all over his body.

As soon as he saw the comer, he was stunned, and it took a while to react, and he stepped forward and asked, "The master's illness has not healed yet, why did it come out?" ”

"It's okay, you can get out."

Under the heavy mask, his voice seemed muffled, deep and indifferent, and when he heard the words, he hesitated for a moment before withdrawing.

Xiao Yuexi looked at the master in the mouth of the broken gong with a smile, and said: "The price of pretending to be a ghost is really not small!" Aren't you afraid of the prickly heat? ”

The visitor ignored Xiao Yuexi's ridicule, sat on the side, and before he could speak, he coughed for a while, and then said weakly: "Occasional cold, Miss Xiao forgive me." ”

I hadn't heard such a title for a long time, Xiao Yuexi actually felt a little uncomfortable, raised her eyebrows and didn't speak.

The man said: "Inviting Miss Xiao in such a rude way is actually something to ask for, Miss Xiao is interested in listening to it?" ”

Xiao Yuexi sneered: "I'm not interested, I was 'invited' by you, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

The man seemed to smile, and his tone softened: "I have long heard that Miss Xiao is a special existence, and when I saw it today, that person really didn't lie to me." ”

"Heard? Listen to whom? ”

The man diverted the topic without thinking and said bluntly: "Miss Xiao, life in the palace is not easy for you, right?" ”

Xiao Yuexi smiled: "What does this have to do with Your Excellency?" ”

"The request I want to say is actually a relief for you, don't tell me, you live in the palace for a few months, and you really think you are a canary in a cage."

The smile on Xiao Yuexi's face gradually faded, her face sank like water, she really didn't like the feeling of being raised.
