Chapter 25 The Mansion of King Mu
As the twilight approached, the sky gradually turned dark, and the sky seemed to be shrouded in a huge black net, and the broken nets showed a little light, which was particularly dazzling, one, two, three...... Composed of a splendid galaxy......
As the sky darkened, Lin Qingzhi and Xiao Mufeng also moved to the side of the desk in the house and sat down, at this time it was already the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the cool breeze was blowing in the evening, cool and comfortable, Rongyue took a few plates of dim sum and fruits, and brought two teas up.
With tea and snacks, Xiao Mufeng finally couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, turned his head to Lin Qingzhi and asked, "Ah Zhi, I have already said how Gu Chengxuan's tattoo pattern disappeared and reappeared and intercepted Princess Singh's letter, but how did you know that Concubine Zeng and Prime Minister of Chu State are also from the Dark Night Gate?" ”
Lin Qingzhi picked up the celadon teacup and smelled the fragrance of tea, took a sip slowly, Fang Jingjing said: "I know you have the answer in your heart, a few days ago, when the master and the senior brother were leaving, the senior brother told me that he would help me find out the poison of the drunken red face as soon as possible, the master has always been ignorant of government affairs, and he doesn't like the people in power never to be attached, this is why I asked you not to tell the emperor about the relationship between my Lin family and the Xuanji elder, let alone reveal that I am a Xuanji disciple, the senior brother is the only son of the Murong family, and the first disciple of the Xuanji Pavilion, Naturally, the news is very well-informed in all aspects, and everyone in the rivers and lakes agrees with the admiration, and this little thing should not be difficult for him to explore. ”
Xiao Mufeng also smiled when he heard this: "In fact, it can be seen that Murong Gongzi is indeed not only chic, but also has a hearty temperament, dares to love and hate, and even I am very envious." I once wanted to be like him, walking the rivers and lakes, and walking the world with a sword, so that I could also take you to see all the great rivers and mountains, but it's a pity ......"
"Brother Mu, you were born in the royal family, you have an unshirkable responsibility, once I also wanted to walk the rivers and lakes with you and be a happy couple, but now all countries are eyeing each other, and the people are living in dire straits, I want to see you guide the country, be diligent in government and love the people, and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world." Lin Qingzhi's eyes were resolute, and her black pupils sparkled at Xiao Mufeng.
"Since it is what you expect, I will definitely try not to disappoint you, but fortunately I have you by my side." Xiao Mufeng reached out and took a piece of mung bean cake and handed it to Lin Qingzhi, smiling warmly.
"Wu Guo believes that the emperor will not just forget it, but King Mu ...... Brother Mu, what are you going to do? Lin Qingzhi hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
"I always feel that Mu Lin's nature is not bad, after so many years of his mother's absence, his father doesn't like their mother and son, he can only rely on the prince to survive, and his father is even more abusive at every turn, he is also a poor person." Xiao Mufeng picked up the teacup, and he couldn't see the expression in his eyes in the mist of tea. Like Xiao Mulin, Xiao Mufeng, whose mother died early, can better understand the pain in this, and he is already kind-hearted, so he can naturally think more about the difficulties of blood brothers.
"Actually, if King Mu can see the situation clearly, it may be a good thing for you, Brother Mu, I have an idea." I saw Lin Qingzhi bow her head and say a few words in Xiao Mufeng's ear, and after listening to Xiao Mufeng and Lin Qingzhi, they looked at each other and smiled.
"Then let's do it, without further ado, let's go." Lin Qingzhi's eyes blinked lightly and said with a smile.
Hearing that her young lady said that she was going out, Rongyue picked up a thin white cloak with a thin trim and draped it on Lin Qingzhi's shoulders, and said warmly: "The temperature difference between day and night is large, Miss still wears thicker, be careful of catching a cold." ”
Lin Qingzhi raised her hand and touched Rongyue's hand, and said with a smile: "I know, you just had a wound on your arm, hurry up and rest early, I may have to come back late, don't wait for me." ”
After speaking, Xiao Mufeng and Lin Qingzhi stepped out of the courtyard gate, walked for half an hour to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, got into a carriage, and slowly drove to the east of the city.
The carriage traveled along Qinglong Avenue for more than half an hour, and finally stopped at the gate of a courtyard after a few turns. After getting out of the car and looking up, there were three upright fonts "Mu Wangfu" hanging on the dark red gate with dark color, and the little guy who opened the door and saw that it was Xiao Mufeng and Lin Qingzhi, his expression became nervous and surprised, and after Xiao Mufeng explained a few words, the little guy quickly ran into the report, and after a stick of incense, he came back and said: "Let His Royal Highness King Ning and the county lord wait for a long time, please here." ”
Since Xiao Mufeng and Xiao Mulin became adults, the emperor allowed the opening of the mansion to build teeth, and the two moved out of the palace, and the mansion given to Xiao Mulin was an hour away from the palace, and the courtyard was also smaller, and it did not show the honor that the prince should have. I saw a thin figure standing in front of the window under the background of a few orange lights in the room.
Xiao Mulin, who heard the sound of footsteps, turned to look at the two of them, looked at them for a moment and said indifferently: "I don't know why Prince Ning and the county lord came at night?" It should be more than just a look at my down-and-out brother, right? Xiao Mulin deliberately deepened the accent of Prince Ning's three words, and the meaning of the words was alienated at a glance.
The little guy came up with tea at this time, Xiao Mulin looked at the tea and said: "Stand down, my brother is proud of the spring breeze now, and the emperor's grace is flourishing, so he shouldn't look down on these old teas in my house." ”
Xiao Mufeng, who was staring at the tea, suddenly looked up at Xiao Mulin, his eyes were full of sadness and said, "Mulin, why do you have to be so aggressive?" ”
Xiao Mulin originally thought that Xiao Mufeng came to the door to ask the teacher for the sake of asking for guilt, but when he saw Xiao Mufeng's eyes, he suddenly felt a trace of guilt, and then he recovered his freedom, turned his head and didn't look, but his tone was a little soft: "What does King Ning mean by this?" The king didn't understand. ”
"Third brother, stop it, I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances over the years, the eldest brother has treated you unfairly, and the father has treated you unfairly, but I have not harmed and made fun of you" Xiao Mufeng's tone trembled a little.
"Have you ever harmed me, everyone looks down on me, the unsightly prince, everyone looks at me as a joke, the prince doesn't treat me as a person, no matter how good I do, my father has always frowned coldly, he has a sentence right, that is, I shouldn't live in this world, but I don't want to, has anyone asked my opinion? Asked what I think? Why did the crown prince still sit in the seat of the East Palace after he had done so many bad things? Why are you and I both unfavored princes, and now you can ascend to the sky and be valued by your father? What am I inferior to you? Who was not born into a mortal womb of the flesh, and you have an extra eye or a leg? Xiao Mulin roared with wide eyes.
"I know you've endured it for more than ten years, so let's vent it all. But colluding with Wu Guo to murder his brother is really ridiculous. Xiao Mufeng couldn't help but raise his voice and said.
"Ridiculous? What's right? What's wrong? The last person in power is right, is he right to seek to usurp the throne? Now don't you say that no one dares to question anything? Xiao Mulin pointed in the direction of the palace and sneered.
"Third brother, don't be unscrupulous, don't you want your head?" Xiao Mufeng glared at Xiao Mulin and said sharply.
"Since I did it, I've thought about such a day for a long time, let's say, what are you here for today? If you look at the joke, you can go, and you can't send it slowly. Xiao Mulin turned around and stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looking out at the dark night.
