Chapter 118: The Difference Between Cloud and Mud
Jade Mingzhu knelt there alone, she couldn't believe that her father had given her marriage or she couldn't marry him, and the hatred and unwillingness in her heart were overwhelming-
This time, she tried her best to give up her face and do such a degrading thing in public, hoping to win Mu Lingzhi in one fell swoop.
But I didn't expect that stealing chickens and rice would not only lose face, but was rejected and disliked by Mu Lingzhi in person, but also let him take the opportunity to ask for grace for Concubine Shu and get promoted, how could she be willing?
Listening to him affectionately call Yu Ruyan 'Yan Yan', Yu Mingzhu gritted his silver teeth with hatred in his heart-
Why, it's clear that she doesn't look worse than that slut, but why does he only have her in his eyes, but he can't look down on himself!?
She is unwilling, she will not be reconciled to death!
With a cold look in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and got up, and chased after Mu Lingzhi again......
She knew that Mu Lingzhi must have gone back to Jinying Palace, so she took a shortcut to catch up, and sure enough, she stopped Mu Lingzhi at the end of the corridor in the imperial garden.
Under the moonlight, the silver brocade clothes on Mu Lingzhi's body were dyed with brilliance by the moonlight, and the rendering of his cold face under the moonlight was much softer than usual, and he was even more handsome and extraordinary.
Looking at the undying woman at the end of the corridor, Mu Lingzhi's deep eyes became more and more disgusted, and he walked past her without squinting, and didn't look at her as if she didn't exist.
Who would have expected that Yu Mingzhu would pounce on him, and Mu Lingzhi's body flashed and dodged her.
"Get out of here!"
Mu Lingzhi didn't have any kind words for her.
After that, he didn't bother to pay attention to her, and walked forward without looking back.
After a pause in his feet, Yu Mingzhu actually grabbed his robe with both hands, and he didn't want to let go-
"Mu Lingzhi, take a good look at me, where am I worse than Yu Ruyan? Why can you like her and not me? Since I was a child, I have been better than her everywhere, obviously I am the pearl of the princess, are you blind and can't see? ”
Except for the two of them, there is no third person here, and Yu Mingzhu's personal palace maids are far away and dare not approach, so Yu Mingzhu no longer wants to pretend and vent all the resentment in her heart.
"Based on what you just said and what you did, the difference between you and her is the difference between you and her." Mu Lingzhi glanced coldly at Yu Mingzhu, who was pulling at his robe and unwilling to let go, the disgust in his expression was unconcealed, and he said coldly: "Even if you look similar to her, in the eyes of this palace, she is completely different from you-"
Squatting down and looking coldly at Yu Mingzhu's unwilling resentful eyes, Mu Lingzhi sneered: "There is only viciousness and hypocrisy in your eyes, and Yan Yan's eyes are the best and brightest eyes in the world, so, with these eyes alone, you don't know how much worse than her!" ”
His words were like a sharp knife piercing Yu Mingzhu's heart, she felt pain and hatred in her heart, looking at the ruthless and cold-blooded appearance on his face, endless humiliation poured into her heart, her heart was suffocated, she was speechless, but her hands still didn't want to let go!
Mu Lingzhi didn't want to entangle with her, so he pulled the corners of his clothes, but she was dragged by her.
"If you hate me so much, why did you rescue me from under the horse's hooves at the gate that day? And if you had died that day, would you have been spared such a reproach today? Seeing that Mu Lingzhi was soft and hard and didn't eat, Yu Mingzhu began to entangle the old thing about him saving her.
"If this palace knew that it was a person like you who was saved, it really shouldn't have been nosy at that time." Mu Ling's eyes shot back at her without blinking.
Seeing that she was still not giving up, the last bit of patience in Mu Lingzhi's heart was worn out, and he said coldly: "Does the princess know what liking and true love are?" What do you mean by pestering Hongu like this? ”
"I know, of course I do." Yu Mingzhu had completely lost her mind and cried: "Since I saw you, all I thought about in my mind was about you day and night. I like you, I want to marry you, even if it's a side concubine, I'm willing. ”
"But this palace doesn't want to!"
"You think you're wronged to be my concubine, and I-only feel disgusted." Mu Lingzhi mercilessly smashed the true heart of the jade pearl, and continued to say coldly: "The princess has loved General Chen from the beginning, Baba came to the door to please General Chen, and then later robbed his sister's concubine to marry Lord Shangguan, but now that his bones are not cold, the princess has forgotten him, and turned her target to the palace!" The princess's mind changes so quickly, is this what you call liking? ”
After speaking, Mu Lingzhi wanted to tear off the corner of his clothes again and leave, and he felt uncomfortable staying with Yu Mingzhu for a few more moments!
But Yu Mingzhu refused to let him go, Mu Ling's eyes were cold, and his whole body surged with murderous aura, and the next moment, he actually pulled out the soft sword on his waist!
Under the bright moonlight, the cold light swept across the sword body, which startled Yu Mingzhu and couldn't help screaming, but his hand was still unwilling to let go of Mu Lingzhi, and the next second his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said fiercely: "Mu Lingzhi, if you have the ability, kill me, anyway, I have lost face now, there will be no second way out in this life except to marry you, you either kill me or marry me!" ”
Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi's face was stained with a layer of frost, and he raised the sword in his hand high, and his voice was cold and piercing-
"There is no one in this world who can threaten me. Marry you? Oh, don't think! ”
As soon as the words fell, the long sword in his hand slashed down with a cold intent-
Seeing the glittering long sword swinging towards him, Yu Mingzhu was so frightened that her face was stunned on the spot.
The long sword fell, but it did not fall on Yu Mingzhu's body, but cut her tight robe.
"But I will not kill you, lest I defile my sword!"
The robe was cut, Yu Mingzhu lost the last strength of attachment, fell to the ground, Mu Lingzhi put away his sword and walked away.
However, on this side, Yu Mingzhu was injured by Mu Lingzhi, and her mother, Concubine Lian, was also shocked by the sudden promotion news of Concubine Shu and fell to the ground.
Just now, in Chunlan Palace, the father-in-law of the edict had read out the holy decree of King Qi in front of all the ladies in the harem, in the midst of a lot of surprise, Concubine Shu did not know why Jin was a concubine, and Concubine Lian pretended to be docile for a night, and finally couldn't pretend anymore, after hearing the news, her body was unstable, and she almost fell to the ground.
Tonight, she deliberately held a banquet in the harem to stumble Yu Ruyan, so that her daughter could have a chance to get close to Mu Lingzhi, and with the matchmaking of King Qi, I believe that she will be able to take down Mu Lingzhi.
While talking and laughing with Concubine Li, she actually kept quietly watching the movement at the door, waiting for the good news to come.
Just now, when she saw the palace people entering the hall, Concubine Lian thought that her daughter and Mu Lingzhi's marriage had been decided, and she was here to announce the marriage, so she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and she didn't forget to glance at Yu Ruyan on the side proudly, thinking about what would happen to her after hearing about the marriage, would she look dead!?
Thinking of this, she was even happier in her heart, and hurriedly led everyone to accept the order with joy.
However, after the father-in-law who announced the decree finished reading the holy decree, Concubine Lian couldn't get up, and actually sat on the ground-
Unexpectedly, I never expected that the will was given to Concubine Shu, or she was promoted to the position of concubine and rewarded with the title all of a sudden, and unexpectedly, it climbed on her head without a sound!
How can it be? She's just a slut from a slut's background, how can she climb on her head?
But no matter how unwilling and reluctant she was in her heart, she finally gritted her teeth and saluted and congratulated Concubine Shu with the other concubines.
Concubine Lian's heart was full of jealousy and hatred, and at the same time, deep doubts welled up in her heart-
What happened at the previous banquet, and why did the premeditated marriage become the promotion of Shu Concubine?
I didn't have the heart to laugh anymore, Concubine Lian dispersed the banquet, and I heard that the previous banquet was also dispersed, but Yumingzhu hadn't come back yet. Concubine Lian endured the pain in her heart and couldn't help worrying about her daughter.
However, at this time, the palace people who were waiting beside Yu Mingzhu hurriedly came to tell her that Yu Mingzhu was desperate to chase Mu Lingzhi, and now, the ruthless Third Highness was drawing a sword against the eldest princess in the imperial garden!
When Concubine Lian heard this, she was so frightened that her heart was suffocated-
The jade pearl is her lifeblood, and over the years, she has really been like a pearl in her palm, holding it in the palm of her hand for fear of flying, holding it in her mouth for fear of melting, and she can't see her being wronged at all.
is even more because when Yu Ruyan was born, after Yiyun Dao Chang saw the fate of the two princesses, Concubine Lian was angry, and first asked Yiyun to deliberately use Yu Ruyan's natural tearless symptoms to give her the title of an ominous person, and even instigated the King of Qi to kill her, but in the end, because of the Queen Mother's words, King Qi just sent her into the mountains, let her fend for herself, and watch her own creation......
And tonight, in order to achieve Yu Mingzhu's long-cherished wish and marry Mu Lingzhi, Concubine Lian also gave up the reluctance in her heart, and let her lower her identity and pretend to be a dancing girl to seduce Mu Lingzhi, but I didn't expect that in the end, he lost face and didn't get anything, and now, he dared to draw a sword and hurt his daughter!?
Concubine Lian was so angry that she ran to the edge of the corridor of the imperial garden under the guidance of the palace people, and found the lost Jade Pearl.
Mu Lingzhi had left, leaving Yu Mingzhu alone pitifully falling to the ground crying, his face was pale and dull, and he was still dragging the corner of Mu Lingzhi's cut clothes in his hand, crying sadly and desperately-
"Mother, why? Why does he dislike me, why does he hate me so much? I'm a dignified princess, and he dislikes even being a side concubine for him, treating that slut as a treasure, but treating me as a grass is not as good! I'm not as good as her there!! ”
Concubine Lian was extremely distressed and took her into her arms and coaxed her with good words, saying countless good words, and persuading her for a long time to stabilize Yu Mingzhu's mood.
After returning to Chunlan Palace, Yu Mingzhu told Concubine Lian everything that was born in Zihua Palace, and after hearing this, Concubine Lian's expression was extremely cold, and her eyes were full of murderous aura-
"Daughter, do you know who the humiliation you and my mother and daughter have suffered today?"
Without waiting for Yu Mingzhu to answer, Concubine Lian had gritted her teeth and hated word by word: "It's all because of that slut - Yu Ruyan!" ”
"The Third Highness didn't agree to marry you, and let you be humiliated in public because of her, and the mother concubine was actually suppressed by that slut today, and she bowed down to her for the first time, and this shame is also because of her!"
"If it weren't for that little slut, His Royal Highness wouldn't want you, and he wouldn't ask for grace for that slut. Therefore, all this that our mother and daughter have suffered is because of that little slut! ”
Hearing Concubine Lian's words, Yu Mingzhu, who already hated Yu Ruyan to the point of devouring blood, even hated all the insults she had suffered today on Yu Ruyan's body, and her eyes were dripping with hatred, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Mother, my daughter has never been so humiliated since she was a child, but now she is defeated by a slut, how can I be willing, how willing?" ”
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Yu Mingzhu was angry, and waved it away, and actually smashed the one-person-high jade glass bottle that King Qi gave her as a birthday gift!
The debris all over the ground was not enough to vent the anger in her heart, and Yu Mingzhu said with red eyes: "Mother, do you just let this slut be lawless in the palace and suppress you too?" ”
Concubine Lian's heart was cold, and she said coldly: "What are you going to do?" ”
Yu Mingzhu looked at the shattered fragments and smiled, her gorgeous face was hideous and distorted, her eyes were vicious, and she sneered: "I want her to die quietly like that dumb person!" ”
By the time Mu Lingzhi returned to the Jinying Palace, Yu Ruyan had already returned from Chunlan Palace, and had already heard Brother An report everything in the Zihua Palace!
When Mu Lingzhi entered the house, Yu Ruyan sat under the lamp and drank tea, looked at the missing piece of clothing on his body, and deliberately asked, "Your Highness is fighting with people again?" This time, I guess I didn't win, and even the corners of my clothes were torn off. ”
Mu Lingzhi was suddenly asked by her, and he didn't know how to answer her all of a sudden, but when he thought of it, the matter in the front hall tonight was so big, and he couldn't hide it from her, so it was better to do it from the truth.
He was thinking about how to say it, not only to make her angry, but also to let her understand his sincerity for her and his determination not to marry Yu Mingzhu.
It's a pity that before he finished thinking about it, Yu Ruyan spoke again: "When did the prickly heat become a rash, Your Highness's kung fu of lying without blinking is becoming more and more dangerous." ”
After saying this, she couldn't hold back her smile anymore, and laughed out loud like Brother An.
When she smiled, Brother An on the side couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Mu Ling's serious appearance before.
Mu Lingzhi couldn't come back to his senses for a moment, and when he understood, it turned out that she had already known about the affairs of the front hall, and she deliberately scared him in front of him, and she was angry and funny in her heart, walked up to her, hooked someone's chin that was laughing happily, and deliberately lowered her face and said angrily: "Look at the meaning of the lady, for the husband to cut the robe and break the love, but it is wrong to lie and excuse it?" Well? ”
The fingers gently twisted her delicate chin as smooth as jade, her expression seemed angry, but the love in her eyes became stronger -
I don't know why, I didn't see her after just a few hours of separation, Mu Lingzhi couldn't give up all night, and then he was stirred by Yu Mingzhu, and his mood was even worse, and he vented all the anger in his heart on Yu Mingzhu on the knife edge, not at all if she was the eldest princess, and directly scolded her facelessly.
Seeing him like this, Brother An's face turned red, and he hurriedly slipped away, not forgetting to close the door.
The moment the door was closed, Mu Lingzhi had already hugged Yu Ruyan and gnawed on it, and said while gnawing: "Little goblin, you must have put an ecstasy spell on me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to leave you for a moment." ”
Yu Ruyan lowered her head in shame to avoid him, and couldn't help laughing: "Then His Highness has cast an ecstasy spell on Yu Mingzhu, making her so crazy to love His Highness." ”
Mu Lingzhi gently bit the tip of her nose, "It's a pity that you didn't fall for the poison of my ecstasy spell." I don't think they love me, I just like you and love me. ”
His tongue still had a faint smell of wine, and it slid all the way to her lips, lingering, tossing and turning.
The faint aroma of wine mixed with his warm breath seemed to gently blow through the grassland breeze, stirring Yu Ruyan's heart, she couldn't exert any strength in her whole body, and couldn't help but say: "I...... It has already been the charm of His Royal Highness......"
When the love was strong, she couldn't help but murmur softly, but the very light sentence stirred Mu Lingzhi's hand like a heavenly sound, and it also completely ignited the spark of desire in his heart, his heart was sweet, he kissed her beautiful eyes gently, picked her up and put her on the bed, lightly untied the belt, and said obsessively: "Lady, I miss the very sultry goblin before, you might as well ......"
Before the words fell, Yu Ruyan's affectionate eyes flashed slyly, and she had already pounced......
The small Hibiscus Palace is once again overflowing with spring light......
After the event, Mu Lingzhi hugged Yu Ruyan tightly in his arms, his heart was full of joy and comfort, touched Yu Ruyan's supple head, and said happily: "You said just now, you fell into my enchantment spell early, when did you hit it, let's hear it?" ”
Yuru Yan Qiao blushed, hid her face in his arms, and said shyly: "Your Highness heard it wrong, I haven't said anything like this......"
When Mu Ling heard this, she raised her face angrily and threatened seriously: "Really? It seems that the husband's performance just now was not good, which disappointed the lady, and she was angry with me and didn't admit what she had said. ”
After that, he made a good posture to fight with her.
Yu Ruyan couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly raised her hand in surrender and said, "It's me who was wrong, that ...... It was indeed what I said. Your Highness spares your life! ”
Mu Lingzhi smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, stretched out his long arm and hugged her into his arms and said: "Today I asked your father for the grace of my mother, and now that she is a concubine, no one will dare to bully and underestimate her in the future, so that you can also go to Daliang with me with peace of mind, are you still satisfied with your husband's arrangement?" ”
When his deep eyes looked at her, they were always full of love, and Yu Ruyan couldn't help but feel warm in her heart-
From the moment she suddenly received the news of her mother's promotion in Chunlan Palace, she had already guessed that all this must have been done for him behind his back, and only he had the ability to make King Qi dare not buy his account.
"I'm here to thank Your Highness for the mother! Thank you...... Thank you, Your Highness, for your hard work. ”
Yu Ruyan is indeed very grateful to him, in this way, the mother concubine has such a high position, and she has also moved into the Chunjing Palace, which has a much better environment, which makes her feel much more relieved when she leaves Daqi in the future.
Mu Lingzhi looked at her moved, pinched her face with a smile and smiled: "Don't thank me, in fact, I am planning for myself." Only if you let your mother live well, you will feel at ease, and I will be comfortable when you are at ease, so, in the end, I am still planning for myself. ”
His fallacy made Yu Ruyan couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, her mind thought of Concubine Lian's vicious eyes when she received the will to promote her mother today, and her heart trembled slightly-
Today's promotion of the mother concubine suppressed Concubine Lian, who had been rampant and domineering in the harem for many years, and Mu Lingzhi was so resolute and ruthless in rejecting Jade Mingzhu in public, making her lose face and suffer humiliation. Resolving hatred is relieving hatred, but I'm afraid that these mothers and daughters who hate Chunlan Palace will be remembered on her and her mother's concubine again.
She is not afraid of remembering her head, it will not be long in total, she will not stay in Daqi for a long time, she will return to Daliang with Mu Lingzhi, I am afraid that the vicious mother and daughter will remember these resentments on the mother concubine.
Although the mother concubine has now become the first high-ranking concubine in the palace, the position is superficial, and the most important thing is to see the favor of the father, so the mother concubine still can't help them.
She was pondering alone, when Mu Lingzhi suddenly spoke, and said lightly: "Today, the news from Daliang came." ”
Yu Ruyan was slightly stunned, and was stunned for a moment before she asked anxiously, "Is it the news of the knife?" How is he? Did you go back? How is he now? Can you still adapt? ”
Seeing her anxious appearance, Mu Lingzhi was slightly stunned in his heart, and smiled comfortingly the next moment: "Don't worry, he did go back, returned to the palace, his father, the emperor and the concubine were so happy to see him, the father and the emperor have re-chanted that the eighth prince has returned, and took him to the court, and also went to the imperial tomb, so that the ministers and officials can come to know him again." ”
"He is already smart, he has been favored by his father and mother since he was a child, and the dragon sword on his body was given to him by his father, and there are only two in the world, so don't worry about him, he is all home, and he will definitely live well."
Hearing him mention the Dragon Yin Sword, something suddenly flashed in Yu Ruyan's mind, frowned and hesitated for a long time, and finally swallowed: "Your Highness, listening to the Dragon Yin Sword you just mentioned the knife, I suddenly thought that the first time I went back to Daliang with you, the time I was assassinated at the Guyu Town Inn, the long sword and ...... in the hands of that assassin The dragon sword with the knife turned out to be very ...... It's very similar! ”
"I know!"
Yu Ruyan originally thought that Mu Lingzhi would be surprised, after all, this was a rare clue about that assassin, but what she didn't expect was that after Mu Lingzhi heard it, he didn't have the slightest look of surprise, but said very calmly that he knew.
"Your Highness......" Yu Ruyan looked at him suspiciously, and many questions flashed in her heart.
"Before I set out on the expedition, I was drunk at the gate of your palace, and later, you helped me change the gauze here, do you know who stabbed that sword?"
Mu Lingzhi pointed to the shoulder that was stabbed by Prince Wing last time, and smiled bitterly at her.
Yu Ruyan had a bad premonition in her heart, and looked at him in a daze, without nodding or shaking her head.
"Actually, after Chen Yiqing entered the palace and met you in the garden, I already knew that you were Xiaoqing, and I couldn't help but come into the palace to see you, and as a result, I met him here."
"Him?" When Yu Ruyan heard this title, her heart was suffocated, "Your Highness recognizes that assassin?" ”
"Yes, I know him." The expression on Mu Lingzhi's face instantly became solemn, and he said in a low tone: "Do you remember what I told you about the mutiny ten years ago? At that time, I personally killed my most admired cousin, the then Prince of Liang, Prince Yi. ”
"Over the years, I have always thought that he was dead, but I didn't expect that he didn't die, he survived, and now he is looking for revenge on me."
"So, the assassins in the Guyuzhen Inn and the Sugar Man Shop, and the one who entered the palace with the jade pendant I gave you in the back are the same person, it is my cousin, Mu Yizhi, the former prince of Daliang!"
Yu Ruyan was completely shocked by his words, she suddenly thought of something, her expression was flustered, and her face turned pale.
However, after Mu Lingzhi told her this, he suddenly looked at her fixedly and asked, "I have always had a doubt in my heart that has not been solved, at the beginning, how did you take a knife Brother An and quietly evade the search of the officers and soldiers guarding the city and leave the city?" ”
Yu Ruyan remembered Yue Yu's special instructions to her before, and she was stunned, and she didn't know how to answer him!
