Chapter 69: Life is better than death

Without waiting for the prince to speak, Mu Lingzhi's cold eyes looked coldly at the hands held by the two of them, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Your Excellency is holding my maidservant, where are you going to take her?" ”

Yu Ruyan's whole body was shocked when she heard this, and she hurriedly let go of Yue Yu's hand and quietly moved to Mu Lingzhi's side, completely losing the majestic spirit that she didn't change in the face of everyone just now. whispered: "Your Highness has misunderstood, Gongzi is just a ······"

"Shut up!" Mu Lingzhi's face turned black into charcoal, his cold gaze shuttled back and forth between the two like a knife, and he said in a cold tone: "Don't forget your identity!" ”

Yu Ruyan lowered her head and stopped talking, but she couldn't help but sneer in her heart, heh, for an identity, she has been reprimanded by the hypocritical nobles all morning, and now you have to start thinking about it?

People all over the world can say that me, but you Mu Lingzhi can't, because everything I am facing now is caused by you!

She lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooping, blocking the fiery anger in her eyes, and her heart was cold!

Seeing that Mu Lingzhi was angry, the prince pretended to reprimand Wan: "How do you entertain guests, Prince Yue is a friend I specially invited." And this Xiaoqing girl is the favorite woman of the imperial brother, the imperial brother is not even afraid of the poison of the black gold tree for her, it can be seen how much the imperial brother values her, how can you ignore it casually! After that, he glanced at Mu Ziyue without a trace.

Mu Ziyue's face sank, but when the prince's eyes turned, she put away the loss on her face in time and replaced it with a light smile and didn't care.

When everyone heard the prince's words, they couldn't help but be amazed, they didn't expect that His Royal Highness, who had always been cold-blooded and unkind, would take such a big risk for a military prostitute, and the gaze at her couldn't help but be even more incredible!

In fact, the matter of Wujin Shao in the palace was ordered by Concubine Xie Guifei not to spread the word, after all, the dignified prince would make such an irrational move for a servant, which would have a great impact on Mu Lingzhi's reputation. However, the prince deliberately exposed this matter in front of the public, just to damage his reputation and see his jokes.

"Your Highness loves the people like a son, and treats slaves and maids so righteously, which is a manifestation of virtue!" Yu Ruyan didn't raise her head, and before Mu Lingzhi could speak, she gently and skillfully replied to the prince's words.

Although she hated Mu Lingzhi in her heart, Wu Jinshao's incident was a favor she owed him, how could she let the prince use this matter to attack him!

Hearing this, the prince's eyes sank, and he looked at the woman in front of him with a gloomy face, and the entourage around him shouted to Yu Ruyan when he saw this: "Bold slave, what crime should you be guilty of daring to talk nonsense in front of the prince and interject in vain!" ”

"Is it nonsense that she praises the virtue of this palace?" Mu Lingzhi's fluttering words made the entourage shudder, he smiled coldly, and his deep eyes were full of coldness: "Or do you think that this palace is not worthy of the word virtuous?" ”

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave deserves to die, please forgive your highness!" The attendant gave off in his legs under his gaze, and fell to his knees with a thud and begged for mercy.

He is the prince's entourage, and his words and deeds represent the prince's attitude, and in the eyes of others, the prince is saying that Mu Lingzhi is not virtuous. If the relationship between the two brothers is separated because of this incident, how can he afford such a crime?

"Okay, okay, today is the birthday of this palace, don't be discouraged by this stupid person. Come, the hour is almost up, everyone take their seats. I'll have a few drinks with you! The prince smiled, and affectionately took Mu Lingzhi's hand and personally led him into the table.

Yu Ruyan was about to follow the maid ring of the Prince's Mansion to refreshe up, when Mu Ziyue walked over, took her hand again and said with a smile: "It's better for me to take my sister to the guest room myself." ”

As soon as she approached her, Yu Ruyan felt uncomfortable all over, she smiled coldly, and said, "Miss Mu's purpose today has been achieved, why don't you let me go and let me fend for myself?" ”

The cold light flashed in the apricot eyes, but the smile on her face was amiable, Mu Ziyue said: "Sister is only afraid of misunderstanding, I promised Ling Zhi to take good care of you, how dare you not care about your sister?" Her cold words did not carry a trace of warmth, and the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, but she could see her

The whole body was stunned, and vaguely, she felt that Mu Ziyue would not let go of herself so easily, and she must have prepared more powerful tricks waiting for her, and she couldn't help but tense her whole body, and she didn't dare to relax a little.

Too lazy to go around the bend with her again, she looked at Mu Ziyue fixedly and said bluntly: "With my identity, I can enter the gate of the East Palace today, but I am afraid that it is all thanks to you, and you are also responsible for me being attacked by a group." I ask myself if I have no grudges against you, Miss Mu, why does Miss Mu need to lower her status and entangle with lowly people like me again and again. ”

Mu Ziyue's eyes looked at the few ink chrysanthemums in front of her, as if she was carefully looking at and appreciating them, but her tone was extremely cold, and she said word by word: "What belongs to me Mu Ziyue since I was a child, others don't say touch it, and I am not allowed to even take a second look." You should know that you have touched my bottom line! ”

"Does Miss Mu mean the Third Highness when she says the bottom line?" Yu Ruyan hooked her lips and smiled, her cold eyes couldn't hide the mockery, and said coldly: "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Mu told me in person not long ago that you only treat Your Highness as a brother, and you have no other thoughts." What's the matter, it's changed again? ”

While talking, the two of them had left everyone's sight and turned to the corridor to the quiet west wing, Mu Ziyue saw that there was no one around, and no longer had to pretend to be intimate with her, she shook off her hand fiercely, stared at her viciously, and said coldly: "What are you trying to do with Ling Zhi like this?" Hehe, I really don't know how thick the sky is, and I don't look at my identity? ”

Since the last time she tore her face with Yu Ruyan in the palace, Mu Ziyue had completely torn off her disguised mask in front of her, and she was no longer hypocritical when she spoke, but extremely vicious, she snorted coldly and said: "I advise you to find out your identity, don't daydream about it, and entangle Ling Zhi." ”

Yu Ruyan couldn't help laughing when she heard this, she looked at the femme fatale in front of her with a smile, and said word by word: "I am a guest invited by the prince to the mansion with Miss Mu, Miss Mu looks down on me like this, isn't she looking down on herself?" Regardless of my background, isn't Miss Mu commensurate with my sister and intimate? Could it be that all the previous things were Miss Mu's hypocrisy? Oh, so I was right! ”

Her merciless riposte angered Mu Ziyue, and said: "Also, there is one thing that Miss Mu may not have figured out, I am already His Highness's person, even if I stick to His Highness every day, it is normal, but a lady like Miss Mu and a famous lady from a famous family also stick to His Highness every day like me, I'm afraid it's really inappropriate!" ”

Her words were like inserting a steel knife into Mu Ziyue's chest, causing her deep blood to flow backwards, and her pretty face was so red that it turned blue and bloodless!

Over the years, she has been torn between the prince and Mu Lingzhi and difficult to decide, dragged on until the age of nineteen and did not marry, in private many people have ridiculed her as an old woman who can't get married, which has already made her upset and depressed, and now she is ridiculed by Yu Ruyan like this, she is even more angry and her blood is boiling, and her body is shaking but she can't say a word. Without thinking about it, he raised his hand high and slapped Yu Ruyan's face.

But Yu Ruyan's hand was faster than hers, and she had firmly grasped her hand before it fell.

Mu Ziyue didn't expect her to dare to stop her, her vicious eyes couldn't wait to eat her, she was about to withdraw her hand and scolded viciously: "Slut, you dare to stop me?" ”

No matter how she struggles, Yu Ruyan always strangles her hands tightly, her body is only thin, but her hand strength is not small, and the pampered Mu Ziyue is not her opponent at all.

She looked at the viciousness in her eyes, her voice was so cold that there was no trace of warmth, and she sneered: "Miss Mu, this bad problem of hurting people really needs to be corrected, I haven't settled accounts with you about Qin Xianglou, and you still want to beat someone?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Ziyue's whole body was shocked, and her pretty face suddenly turned pale, but she was a stakeholder in the end, her complexion had returned to normal in an instant, Ying Yingxing's eyes were cold, and her tone was contemptuous and provocative: "Settle accounts with me?" It's up to you, a lowly military prostitute with 10,000 pillows? Hehe, it's a big joke in the world! ”

Looking at her disgusting face without any guilt, Yu Ruyan was furious, and raised her hand to hit her in the face-

With such a vicious White Lotus, she didn't want to be polite with her at all.

Seeing that the slap was about to fall on Mu Ziyue's face, she suddenly grinned weirdly, Yu Ruyan's heart sank, and before she could come back to her senses, the next second, her body was stunned and fell to the ground in an uproar.

Wen Xiang looked at Yu Ruyan, who fell to the ground without a sound, threw away the stick in his hand and trembled: "Miss, she... She's not going to die, is she? ”

Mu Ziyue's ruthless gaze was as chilling as a poisonous snake, and she gritted her teeth and sneered: "Death? Hmph, wouldn't that be too cheap for her. Wait, I have my own way to make her worse than dead! ”

As soon as the banquet opened, countless delicacies were put on the table, everyone congratulated the prince in unison, and the rewards and gifts in the palace continued to be carried to the East Palace, and everyone present also stepped forward from time to time to offer treasures to the prince, the prince was in a good mood, and pulled Mu Lingzhi to drink several glasses of wine, but the latter was absent-minded, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the side room.

He asked Tong Qian to go to the wing room to urge him twice, and Tong Qian went back and said that she was still rubbing, Mu Lingzhi's face darkened when he heard this-

I really don't know the rules, how can I be late and absent on such an occasion?

At this moment, Mu Ziyue Yingying stepped forward to salute in front of the prince, and her voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley: "Your Highness, the courtiers are clumsy, and they can't give a decent gift to Your Highness as a gift, so you have to offer a song to congratulate Your Highness on his birthday!" ”

When the prince heard this, his face bloomed, and he hurriedly got up and bypassed the table to help her up in person, and said with a look of pity: "Everyone knows that Yue'er is not only beautiful, but also unparalleled in talent, and it is really reluctant to hear the pipa in one hand, and this palace has been itching for a long time, just waiting for your words!" ”

The prince praised Mu Ziyue in public, which attracted a burst of envy from everyone, and everyone echoed the prince's words in unison, praising Mu Ziyue one by one, and for a while, the whole banquet only heard a burst of praise.

Seeing the prince behave like this, Mu Ling's eyes on the side sank, and a slight chill appeared.

He knows too much about this imperial brother, and if it's not what he wants, he won't look at it, but he will go to great lengths to get what he wants.

He showed favor to Xiaoyue in public like this, but he was afraid that it was inevitable for Xiaoyue, but in fact, it was also inevitable for the forces behind Xiaoyue!

It seems that the battle for the throne is a fierce battle!

Mu Ziyue sat down and set up the pipa, and suddenly a little girl came in from outside, whispering a few times in Miss Wang's ear with an unkind face, Miss Wang's face suddenly turned white, her eyes swelled with anger, and she stood up and said, "What you said is true?" Did you read that right? ”

She got up too violently, and the golden step on her head flew directly to the ground, Mu Ziyue saw it, put down the pipa and picked it up for her, and said with a worried face: "Sister Wang, what's wrong?" The face is suddenly so ugly, but what is uncomfortable? ”

Wang Tianyu's father is Wang Qi, the general who protects the country, and holds one-third of the military power of the Great Liang, and the most taboo thing about Mu Lingzhi of the prince over the years is that he holds two-thirds of the military power of the Great Liang in his hands.

Therefore, even if the prince did not look down on this arrogant and reckless Miss Wang in his eyes, he was even more disgusted with her surprise, but when he thought of her father, the prince suppressed the anger in his heart, stepped forward and asked with concern: "What happened to Miss Wang so panicked?" This is the mansion of the main palace, everything is decided by the main palace for you, don't be afraid! ”

The surrounding people also stopped their movements and cared about Miss Wang's affairs. I saw that Miss Wang, who had always been bold and unruly, suddenly blushed under the prince's inquiry, her face was red and white, and her lips moved and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Looking at her awkward expression that wanted to speak and stopped, everyone was suspicious, what happened to Miss Wang, who has always been outspoken, couldn't open her mouth?

"Hey!" Wang Tianyu thought about what Yahuan told, she hated and annoyed in her heart, but she was ashamed to open her mouth in front of so many people, she suddenly paused, and shouted to the girl next to her: "I can't say such pickled and dirty things, you can tell me!" ”

The little girl's face was flushed, and she looked ashamed to speak, but she had always known her eldest lady's temper, and she did what she said, so she had to lower her head and say with a shy face: "Slave... The slave had just inadvertently passed by the wing, and she saw... I saw a man and a woman walking... Do what you don't do! As soon as the words were spoken, the little girl's face was so red that she was dripping blood.

Her voice was not loud, but it shocked everyone present!

Today is the prince's birthday banquet, it was originally a group of music, but I didn't expect someone to do such a dirty thing at such a time, which is really infuriating!

Moreover, this little girl said that she was in the wing room, so it is conceivable that the person who did this reluctance must be a guest who came to the Jade Mansion to be a birthday!

Who was so bold to touch the prince's mold at this time!

Everyone looked at the people around them in unison, and then I don't know who exclaimed: "Hey, why didn't the girl brought by the Third Highness see a figure?" ”

Everyone searched, and sure enough, only Yu Ruyan was not there among the female dependents, and when the male guests were counted, Yue Gongzi was not at the banquet.

There was an uproar in everyone's hearts, and their eyes looked at Mu Lingzhi in unison, as if there was a huge green hat on his head at the moment!

When Mu Lingzhi listened to the little girl's words, bad thoughts had flashed in his heart, and at this moment his face was already full of iron, and his deep phoenix eyes were dyed with a layer of frost, which frightened everyone and didn't dare to look at him directly.

Although the prince hated the two of them for touching his own moldy head, when he thought that woman actually cuckolded Mu Lingzhi in front of everyone, he was extremely relieved and proud, his younger brother was clever since he was a child, he had never lost his temper and embarrassment in front of people, he had always been confident and confident in everything under control, when had he ever seen him embarrassed in public?

After Wang Tianyu saw Yue Yu in the garden, he just secretly promised his heart at a glance, and he really liked it in his heart, so he sent a girl to find him after Yue Yu was not at the table, but he didn't expect it to be such a result.

She said fiercely: "It must be that slut who seduced Yue Gongzi, she was pulling and pulling with Yue Gongzi in the garden before, and she looks like a vixen!" ”

This is really biased, before in the garden, Yue Yu took the initiative to help Yu Ruyan out of the siege, but in everyone's subconscious, although Yue Yu is only a ninth-rate merchant, he has an extraordinary temperament, and Yu Ruyan is a pickled military prostitute, who seduces who is clear at a glance.

Mu Lingzhi's face was gloomy and about to freeze, Mu Ziyue saw it, stepped forward and looked at him distressedly, and said with concern: "Ling Zhi, don't be too sad, you are so good to Xiaoqing, I don't want to believe that she will betray you before there is definite evidence······" The more she talked about the back, the quieter her voice became, as if she couldn't even convince herself of such words. Coupled with the pity and sadness on her face, on the surface, she seemed to be speaking for Yu Ruyan, but in fact, she was even more convinced that the person in the room was Yu Ruyan.

Miss Qin answered indignantly: "Xiaoqing's style is not a good kind at first glance, and it is normal to do such an immoral thing, but Sister Mu is still speaking for her at this time, Sister Mu is really kind." ”

Mu Lingzhi had been sitting with a gloomy face, although everyone was sure that the people who had fornication in the room were Yu Ruyan and Yue Yu, but in his heart he didn't believe it!

He remembered that she assassinated Lieutenant General Qin for loyalty, and challenged General Li in order not to commit herself to others, but now, how could she easily do such a degrading thing?

She once firmly said to him face to face, from the beginning to the end, she is just his person in this life!

"Sister, don't say that, if you want to come to that Yue Gongzi Qingjun is extraordinary, Miss Xiaoqing will be tempted to like him for a while, maybe ······" Mu Ziyue's timely words made Mu Lingzhi's heart shake instantly-

She may not be able to treat others, but Yue Yu saved her life, and her aura is extraordinary, so it is inevitable that she will not be moved.

He instantly remembered the harmonious time when the two of them were alone in the backyard of the Jinli Inn that day, and then thought of the scene where Yue Yu came forward to relieve her and wipe the tea stains on her face today, and suddenly the last piece of reason in his heart disappeared, and his mind was full of the unbearable appearance of her betraying herself and being with other men.

"Proof!?" He snorted coldly and stood up, "Bengong will go to find evidence now." ”

He brushed his sleeves away, the prince saw it, and took Yu Wan to follow, and when the others saw that the master was gone, they also followed to the wing room to see the excitement.

In fact, before Mu Ziyue deliberately mentioned the evidence, Mu Lingzhi didn't want to go to the wing room to catch the adulterer, he knew that no matter what, as long as he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could leave her alive, but now, ······

The group went to the wing room of the prince's mansion. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Qingcha beside Yue Yu standing at the door of the wing room with a restless expression, and when he saw someone coming, his face suddenly turned pale, and the whole person trembled, and he was about to block the door, but was kicked away by Mu Ling.

The door was kicked open with a thud. When the door opened, at a glance, I saw that the wing room was messy, and the ground was sprinkled with the clothes of men and women. When he glanced at the lotus-colored dress on the ground, there was a loud 'buzz' in his head, and his eyes couldn't help but glow blood.

This lotus-colored floral skirt is exactly what Yu Ruyan is wearing today.

There was a sudden sound of rustling on the bed, accompanied by the woman's delicate panting, Mu Lingzhi was already so angry that his whole body trembled, and he pulled out the soft sword wrapped around his waist with a 'swish', and stabbed directly at the bed with a finger of the tip of the sword······

'Poof! The sound of the blade piercing into the flesh shocked everyone's hearts, Mu Ziyue's heart jumped, and she immediately pursed her lips and smiled secretly with satisfaction, and she couldn't hide the smugness in her eyes-

Slut, just die like this, it's really too cheap for you!

Mu Ling's anger was extremely strong and he stabbed a sword, and after stabbing the person in the bed tent, he suddenly came to his senses, and watched in a daze as the bright red blood slid down the undrawn sword body, and his heart cavity suddenly emptied-

She's dead! Die under your own sword like this!?

Mu Lingzhi's whole body was shocked, as if he had woken up from a terrible nightmare, he suddenly opened the smoke-blue hibiscus tent, looked at the woman who fell in a pool of blood, and was stunned.

The prince has been watching coldly, and when he saw that the person had been killed, he stepped forward and said with heartache: "Forget it, it's just a woman, it doesn't matter how good-looking she is, if you can't let go of it in your heart, the royal brother will definitely find a few more beauties for you to come back, and you won't be lonely······"

As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the woman who fell in the middle of the bed, his eyes suddenly widened incredibly, and after a while, he wiped his eyes in disbelief, until he confirmed that he was not mistaken, and then looked back at Mu Ziyue behind him with a strange face.

Mu Ziyue, who had been suppressing the joy in her heart, was looked at by the prince's strange gaze, and her heart was a little hairy, thinking, could it be that smelling the fragrance and doing things is not good for the horse's feet?

But when she thought about it, this person is dead, and there is no proof of death, what does she need to be afraid of?

She thinks that this arrangement is seamless, and no one will ever notice that this so-called cheating affair is all arranged by her.

When Yu Ruyan was knocked unconscious by Wen Xiang's attack, she was carried into the wing room by them, and then sent a letter to Yue Yu, asking him to come to the wing room to meet her, and before Yue Yu arrived, they had secretly lit aphrodisiac incense in the wing······

Her original plan was to find a random male servant to rape Jade Ruyan, and make it look like she didn't abide by women's morals and fornicated with others. The reason why it was deliberately chosen on the prince's birthday was that Mu Lingzhi couldn't get off the stage in front of everyone, so he could only severely punish Yu Ruyan.

But when she was involved with Yue Yu in the garden, thinking that Mu Lingzhi was still jealous of this, the candidate in her heart was suddenly replaced by Yue Yu, I believe that under the urging of jealousy, Mu Lingzhi will hate Yu Ruyan even more, what she didn't expect was that he was so angry that he killed her on the spot, although it was a bit unexpected, but this ending made her more satisfied.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door, and she looked back and couldn't help but be stunned!
