Chapter 154: Four Birds with One Stone

Xiaodao was anxious to tell Xie Guifei that he already had a favorite woman in his heart, Xie Guifei was happy, but she was also very curious, and kept asking Xiaodao about the woman's origin, age and family history, where did Xiaodao dare to say Yu Ruyan, so he had to dodge Xie Guifei and didn't dare to face her. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

Xie Guifei has been up and down in the harem for many years, and her eyes are like torches and her thoughts are like needles, seeing him dodging and panicking, her heart sank, and she suddenly thought of the last anonymous letter mentioning that he was hiding in the golden house outside the palace, her heart sank, and she couldn't help but wring her eyebrows and said: "Who is the woman you like?" But the daughter of a decent family? ”

Xiaodao has calmed down from the initial panic, and hurriedly looked like he couldn't open his eyes and stood unsteadily, and said tiredly: "Mother concubine, please let Rong Erchen rest for a while, and discussed the disaster with my father for a day and a night, I am tired and paralyzed, and I have to go to court again tomorrow morning, I will go to sleep first!" ”

After that, he walked away, leaving Xie Guifei with doubts.

Seeing him fleeing in the wilderness, Concubine Xie felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart. She wanted to catch up and ask for clarification, but the thought of him being so tired for so long. In the end, it hurts him and can't bear to disturb him.

While instructing the palace people in the East Palace to serve carefully and let the prince have a good rest, Concubine Xie Guifei also ordered to go down and let Aunt Qin send someone to secretly keep an eye on the prince and observe his private activities, so as to know who the woman he likes is!

On the other side, Mu Ziyue returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in despair, took Rosewood's hand back to his yard, and locked himself in the house as soon as he entered the house, not wanting to see anyone.

When it was time for dinner, Mrs. Xiangfu didn't want to open the door whether she sent someone to invite her, or she came to the door herself, Mrs. Mu didn't know how she came back from a trip out of the house to become like this, and asked Rosewood to ask three questions, just don't know how to be a good time, Mu Xiang and Mu Ziyang came back from outside the house, the father and son were both gloomy, and Mu Xiang was even more angry that Yintang was black.

Mu Xiang came straight to Mu Ziyue's courtyard angrily, and before Mrs. Mu could speak, she had already stepped forward and kicked the door open, rushed over and slapped Mu Ziyue, who was sitting in front of the window and weeping alone, in the face.

"Smack!"

This loud slap not only shocked Mu Ziyue, but Mrs. Mu and the others were also full of surprise and disbelief.

You must know that Mu Xiang has always doted on him, the eldest daughter, since he was a child, and he values her more than Mu Ziyang. Because, in Mu Xiang's heart, he, the daughter of the heavenly and the country, is a person who wants to be the queen and the mother of a country, not to mention beating her, even scolding and reproaching is reluctant.

Therefore, Mu Xiang's anger today was shocking to everyone present. Mrs. Mu didn't know why, so she stepped forward to protect Mu Ziyue, who was beaten sluggishly, looked at the swollen five-finger red marks on her face, and said sadly: "Master, what's wrong with you today, why did you beat Yue'er as soon as you came back?" What the hell is going on?"

Mrs. Mu didn't understand why, but Mu Ziyue did. Her heart was cold, her expression was sad, her tears couldn't stop falling, she sat stupidly, but she didn't want to say a word.

Mu Ziyang also understood why his father was so angry, thinking of the rumors he heard with his father outside, he was also angry in his heart, and said angrily: "Mother, don't blame your father, blame ----."

was angry for a while, but Mu Ziyang didn't know who to blame, so he had to say hatefully: "My sister didn't listen to my father's words, and I still miss the Third Highness, and today I even went to the Three Kings' Mansion, but I didn't say anything about it, and I became the laughing stock of the whole Eastern Capital." Now, the rumors that His Royal Highness dislikes her and refuses to ask her have spread to everyone in the streets and alleys. ”

When Mrs. Mu heard this, her whole body froze, and she stared at Mu Ziyue in her arms with wide eyes in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Yue'er, is what your brother said serious?" You"

Mu Ziyue smiled miserably, tears welling up----

"Yes, I'm going to beg him to marry me as a concubine. But he didn't want me, and he asked me to completely die to him in the future, and said that the Three Kings' Mansion would not welcome me in the future."

When she said these words, Mu Ziyue's voice trembled, and her body ached like a thousand knives, remembering everything Mu Lingzhi said to her, she felt that she had fallen into a terrible nightmare, and she would never wake up for eternity

One of Muxiang's faces was blackened into charcoal, and his hair was smoking.

Strictly speaking, he should be angry and ashamed. He was angry that Mu Ziyue didn't listen to his own persuasion, and he was ashamed of Mu Ling's death, and he was ashamed that his daughter had become the laughing stock of all Dongdu people, and Mu Mansion had also become a joke in everyone's eyes.

After holding it for a long time, Mu Xiang said hatefully: "You don't hit the south wall and don't give up, and you don't cry when you see the coffin." From the day of divorce, being a father makes you die to him. During the days when you sought medical treatment, although your father was not by your side, he also reminded you of a letter from home every day and made you pay attention. Moreover, the eldest prince has clearly promised his father that as long as his father helps him ascend to the throne, you will be the queen, you will not listen, take a hot face to stick to the cold, and you will not give up until you lose face and throw it home! ”

Mu Ziyue's face was like ashes, her expression was stiff, and she sat in a daze without a trace of expression, letting the wood phase fall. Mrs. Mu knew the reason for the incident, and she cried sadly and said sadly: "Master, what will our daughter do in the future, she has been divorced once before, and now everyone knows that she is disliked again, how will she marry in the future?!" Alas, my poor daughter. ”

Mrs. Mu was heartbroken when she thought of her daughter's future. Mu Ziyang on the side frowned and snorted coldly: "Mother, don't worry. Our Mu family has already torn up with the faction of the prince of the Third Highness, and it is better if my sister does not marry him. ”

"Today's plan, the only way to do this is to gather the strength of our Mu family to help the eldest prince deal with the crown prince and the third highness, and only to assist the eldest prince to ascend the throne, not only can our Mu family shine in the court, but my sister's family affairs do not have to worry. At that time, the eldest prince will welcome his sister with infinite red makeup, let the three highnesses stare at his dog eyes, and let him and the slut princess prostrate at his sister's feet, are you afraid that your sister will not be able to raise her eyebrows at that time! ”

Mu Ziyang's words made Mu Xiang's heart speak. But Mu Ziyue never said a word, describing herself as stupid and stupid, like a lifeless puppet, but a trace of fire began to dance in her eyes in the silence. In a moment, it was annihilated in the frost

Seeing that she looked like she was going to die, Mu Xiang was angry and hateful, and for the first time he showed a strong sense of disappointment in her, blasted everyone in the room away, and ordered someone to lock the door, Mu Xiang hated and said: "Instead of letting you run out and be embarrassed, it is better to lock you in the room and think about it behind closed doors." You stay in the house and reflect, you don't stop thinking about him for a day, and don't come out for a day. ”

After that, he strictly ordered Mrs. Mu and the people in the house that she was never allowed to be released without his permission.

The people in the house had never seen Mu lash out at his precious daughter, and not only did he hit her for the first time. also locked her up, it seems that Mu Xiang is really angry this time, and he can't help but be silent one by one, even Mrs. Mu wanted to open her mouth to plead, but before she could open her mouth, she was glared at by Mu Xiang, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak.

The subordinate got Mu Xiang's order, and according to what he said, he was about to close the doors and windows of the room where Mu Ziyue lived, but at this moment, Mu Ziyue walked out, opened the door, and said coldly to his parents and brothers in the courtyard: "You don't have to worry, even if his third prince kneels and begs me to marry him, I won't marry him." Father can't lock me up. I have so much to do from now on"

Seeing her sudden change, everyone in the courtyard was shocked!

Mu Ziyue's face was as silent as water, but her eyes flashed with a terrifying color, and her voice was cold and piercing: "From now on, the Mu Ziyue who liked Mu Lingzhi before is dead, and now Mu Ziyue will only hate him to the bone, and hate the jade like a bone." Therefore, my father doesn't have to worry that I will go to him again, what I have to do now is to return all the humiliation I admitted today ten times and a hundred times more, and I will make Mu Lingzhi regret what I did today for the rest of my life! ”

Looking at the resoluteness and ruthlessness in her eyes, Mu Xiang finally showed a relieved smile on his face, but Mrs. Mu looked at her with some worry, but when she thought of the grievances her daughter suffered today, she was also blocked in her heart, and stepped forward happily: "Don't worry, everything is with your father and brother, and they help you, you will definitely be able to get what you want." ”

Mu Xiang said: "Since you have thought it out clearly, your father is not willing to lock you up again, so you can rest." ”

After that, he led Mu Ziyang to the study to discuss going to the court tomorrow, and he needed to respond to King Liang's disaster relief matters related to the disaster.

Mu Xiang led Mu Ziyang with his front feet and just entered the study. However, she didn't expect Mu Ziyue to come in on her heels, she stepped in, walked in front of Mu Xiang, hooked her lips and smiled, and said coldly: "Dare to ask my father, the most worrying thing in Your Majesty's heart now is the flood in the south?" ”

Mu Xiang nodded without thinking about it, and sighed: "This flood came so fast and fierce, it really caught the entire imperial court off guard. Not only Your Majesty, but also the civil and military officials are also very sad. However, the more at this time, if anyone can come up with a good disaster relief countermeasure, it is a good time to make meritorious contributions in front of His Majesty. Therefore, the eldest prince has asked me to work hard to come up with a corresponding solution."

"If this disaster relief can make the eldest prince make a meritorious service, then his chances of regaining the crown prince will be much greater! On the contrary, this flood may make the crown prince take the lead, but I am afraid that it is unlikely that the eldest prince wants to shake the crown prince position of the eighth prince again."

"Alas, it's just a pity that none of the advisors under the eldest prince came up with a good countermeasure, so my father was very worried, after all, there was a wise and brave third prince by the prince's side."

For the rest of the words, Mu Xiang didn't say that Mu Ziyue also understood that Mu Lingzhi was extremely intelligent, if they were to think of a corresponding strategy first, if the eldest prince would lose this game again. I'm afraid there will be no chance of a comeback.

Seeing the sad appearance of her father and brother, Mu Ziyue smiled proudly, she stepped forward and sat down leisurely, drank fragrant tea for a long time, and said in a cold and vicious voice: "Isn't my father just worried that the third prince will come up with disaster relief measures before you?" Also, we can't stop his plan in his head, but ---- we can let him take care of himself, let him mess up, and let his brothers kill each other! Let him watch ---- the woman he loves the most die in front of him and be powerless! ”

Hearing this, Mu Xiang and Mu Ziyang were both shocked, and the next moment, Mu Xiang reacted, stood up and walked in front of her, and said excitedly: "How can you say this?" Yue'er has a good idea to deal with him? ”

"What good ideas can I have?!" Mu Ziyue laughed heartily, but her laughter was extremely vicious, "I only know that in Mu Lingzhi's heart now, the person he wants to keep the most is his good princess Yu Ruyan, and his younger brother's crown prince." Father, you said, if we destroy all the people and things he wants to protect the most, do you think he will still have the energy to fight against you for credit? ”

"As long as their brothers turn against each other, as long as Yu Ruyan's slut dies, he and the prince will definitely collapse, and at that time, won't the prince's position be captured!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the Mu family father and son were already lit up with excitement!

Although Mu Xiang understood her intentions, he didn't know what she was going to do, Mu Ziyang couldn't help but say anxiously: "If my sister has any good ideas, hurry up and say it directly, it's about to kill me." ”

Mu Ziyue smiled slowly and said, "Father, brother, don't you think that there have been more ominous things in Daliang recently?" First, there was an accident on the altar of the crown prince's seal ceremony, and then there was a major flood that was rare in a century. If someone goes to tell the emperor at this time, all this ominous national fortune is because of an ominous person born without tears in our Liang, you say. For the sake of the common people in the world and for his thousand-year-old foundation, how will the emperor deal with this ominous person? ”

Mu Xiang had heard her mention it before, Yu Ruyan was a person born without tears, and her heart suddenly became clear, and in a moment, her mind was already turning a thousand times, and she suddenly felt that this flood was the best opportunity for them to completely overthrow the crown prince and the third highness. So he didn't hesitate in his heart, and immediately walked to the front of the case and wrote a letter, handed it to Mu Ziyang and instructed: "You go out of the house immediately and personally hand over the letter to the supervisor of Qin Tianjian, pay attention." Don't let anyone find out. ”

Mu Ziyang took the letter and went down, Mu Xiang's whole body suddenly felt relaxed and comfortable, as if he had let go of the burden of ten thousand catties, and he felt so unhappy when he thought of the desperate situation that the prince and the third highness were going to face.

Looking back at Mu Ziyue, who was indifferent and indifferent, Mu Xiang remembered that he had beaten her in anger just now, and couldn't help but reluctantly stepped forward and said: "As a father, I really didn't misunderstand you, I know that my daughter is smarter and wiser than a man." ”

"If this matter can be successful, not only can the matter of the altar be covered up, but also conform to the mandate of heaven, let the emperor believe that the current prince does not have the mandate of heaven, and drive him down, and let the emperor execute the princess of a foreign country and strike at the three princes. It's a wonderful method! ”

Listening to her father's praise for her, Mu Ziyue's eyes were full of frost, her eyebrows were full of ruthlessness, and she said coldly: "Don't be too anxious about this matter, the emperor has always been suspicious, and Mu Lingzhi is not a vegetarian, my father must remember to grasp the proportions." Take it easy. ”

"I don't want to see that slut die all at once, I want to let her die slowly and slowly, suffer all the torture and betrayal, taste everything I have encountered one by one, let her die with hatred, and die without turning a blind eye!"

Hearing this, although Mu Xiang felt a little unfamiliar with the terrifying distortion between her descriptions, he couldn't help but nod his head in approval, and said with satisfaction: "This is the daughter of my Mu family!" ”

Of course, Yu Ruyan would not know that Mu Ziyue hated her to the core, and secretly planned to kill her. She obeyed Dr. Wu's arrangement and recuperated quietly. I just hope that my body will get better as soon as possible, because the Ministry of Rites has chosen the date of the canonization ceremony, which is at the end of the month, that is, three days later.

Although because of the flood, the entire Liang is in an emergency, but this time Xie Guifei is the first queen of King Liang since he ascended the throne for decades, so the Liang Palace is full of joy, joy and peace, and everyone dare not slack off in the slightest!

The day after tomorrow, a grand ceremony was held in the palace!

is not as good as the crown prince's sealing ceremony, but this post-sealing ceremony is unusually smooth. There was no mistake, from the worship to the heavens to the palace banquet in the evening, it was smooth and smooth.

The palace banquet was set up in the Qianqiu Long Live Palace, and Queen Xie took the initiative to request, but because of the flood, the palace banquet was simple. But King Liang thanked her for following him for most of her life, and gave birth to two outstanding sons for herself, and even risked her life eight years ago to block the poisonous arrow for herself, and didn't want to wronged her on the day she was sealed. What's more, the supervisor of Qin Tianjian also said that Empress Xie's life is peaceful, but she can rush to the recent unsmooth national fortunes of Liang, so King Liang is not only unwilling to be simple. On the contrary, it is operated in a big way, showing the royal extravagance to the fullest!

Yu Ruyan dressed up early in the morning, and she wore the costume of Princess Heshuo and followed Mu Lingzhi into the palace to congratulate. Mu Lingzhi originally asked her to enter the palace in the princess uniform, but Yu Ruyan remembered the words of Queen Xie who threatened her last time, and thought about it slightly, not wanting to make Queen Xie feel uncomfortable at such an important moment today, so she politely rejected Mu Lingzhi's proposal and entered the palace in the clothes of Princess Heshuo in a regular manner.

From morning to night, all the way down the ceremony, although the etiquette is complicated and the people are extremely tired, fortunately, there are no mistakes in all links, and Yu Ruyan did not let Queen Xie find anything wrong with her, but passed smoothly.

On such an occasion, of course Mu Ziyue would enter the palace with Mu Xiang.

It's not like before, after Mu Lingzhi and her completely made it clear a few days ago, when they met again, she was much more plain, seeing Yu Ruyan and Mu Lingzhi, it was also an ordinary greeting, and there was no extra word, and at the palace banquet in the evening, it was also a regular way to sit with the nobles in Beijing and gossip, as if she really listened to Mu Lingzhi's words. is dead to him, and is no longer stalking to be his side concubine.

Seeing her like this, Yu Ruyan and Mu Lingzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

The palace banquet began, the singing and dancing were leveled, the planning was staggered, and the atmosphere was luxurious and peaceful. The two emperors and queens sat on the high platform, Queen Xie looked happy and satisfied, and with the crown prince as the leader, the princes stepped forward one by one to toast the emperor and queen, and the ministers also followed, everyone praised and congratulated, so that the emperor and queen were very pleased.

The prince and the ministers toasted and congratulated. The princess and the ladies and ladies also stepped forward one by one to congratulate the emperor and queen.

When it was Yu Ruyan's turn, she stepped forward to congratulate King Liang and Queen Xie with gifts. Although Queen Xie didn't like her in her heart, she didn't embarrass her on such a big occasion, and she responded with a flat expression and let her retreat.

Yu Ruyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and retreated, put her mind at ease, and watched the other female dependents step forward one by one to congratulate.

After a while, it was Mu Ziyue's turn, she stepped forward with thousands of demeanors, her voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, not only congratulated the emperor and queen, but also said happily: "Queen Qiyu, taking advantage of today's good day for Niangniang's great joy, the courtiers also brought good news to Niangniang." ”

After listening to her words, Queen Xie already understood, and the good news she said was that there was news of the Jade Girl, and she couldn't help but be happy: "Yue'er has a heart, please speak!" ”

Mu Ziyue said obediently and docilely: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the master of the courtiers has been waiting outside the main hall with the magical jade girl who can cure all kinds of poisons, and I also ask Niangniang to let them enter the palace to see the driver!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole temple was shocked!

About the Jade Maiden, few of the people of Daliang may know, but the ministers in the palace do, because because of the Jade Maiden and Daqi's harmony, King Liang also discussed with the ministers in the court. Therefore, the matter of the jade girl is not a secret.

It's just that later Heqin failed, and the third prince shot Princess Heqin who was not a jade girl in a fit of anger. But later, by mistake, the princess who was close to him did not die under the arrow of the third prince, but also fell in love with him for a long time, and became a real couple, and was brought back to Daliang by the third highness again, respecting her as the princess.

And when Mu Ling personally went to Daqi to look for Yu Ruyan before, he knew that there was no so-called jade girl among the princesses of the Daqi royal family, and everything was just a trap designed by the former Prince Yi in order to deal with him, and this matter. After Mu Lingzhi returned to Liang, he had also reported to King Liang and Queen Xie. However, unexpectedly, today Mu Ziyue suddenly brought back the real jade girl without a sound, which really shocked everyone in the hall.

Yu Ruyan stayed on the spot in a daze, and in the seat opposite her, Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao were also shocked!

Mu Lingzhi didn't believe Mu Ziyue's words before, but now she saw her say it in front of King Liang and everyone, which showed that the matter of the Jade Girl was true, because no matter how bold she was, she would not dare to commit the crime of bullying the king in front of everyone.

With Queen Xie's sentence of 'grace'. Yu Ruyan and Mu Lingzhi both looked out of the hall in shock and surprise, wanting to see who the jade girl in Mu Ziyue's mouth was?

When the door of the hall opened, two figures came slowly, walking on the left was an old woman with fairy wind bones, who seemed to be the master in Mu Ziyue's mouth, and the woman walking next to her, her face was covered with a thin veil, and her posture was graceful.

Seeing her come in, Mu Ziyue's eyes swept over Yu Ruyan's body very quickly. A hint of pride flashed in Ying Yingxing's eyes. And Mu Yunzhi, the eldest prince sitting next to Mu Ling, was already full of joy and pride, and the eyes that looked at the woman were extremely different!

An old man and a young man walked to the center of the hall, respectfully saluting the emperor and queen, Mu Ziyue introduced to King Liang and the queen that the old woman was her master Yiqing Shitai, and the masked woman beside her was the precious jade girl they found!

Everyone's eyes followed the body of the 'jade girl', and they all wished that she would immediately lift the veil and reveal her true face!

From the beginning of the 'jade girl' entering the hall, Yu Ruyan looked at her posture and posture, or those familiar eyes, and suddenly her heart was shocked, her hand shook, and the jade chopsticks in her hand were almost unstable

Although she was already suspicious in her heart, she couldn't believe it----

She couldn't believe that the person who was under house arrest by her father would appear in Daliang, and she couldn't believe that she was really the legendary 'Jade Girl'!

However, at this moment, the jade girl in the center of the hall was requested by Queen Xie, and elegantly raised her hand to remove the veil below, and a delicate and beautiful face that captivated the country and the city was suddenly displayed in front of everyone.

Looking at the face that resembled herself, Yu Ruyan's whole body was like falling into an ice cave----

There is no doubt that the person in front of him is really the Jade Pearl.

The body was shaky, Yu Ruyan suppressed the coolness in her heart, stared at the woman in front of her, and the next second she was already clenching the jade chopsticks in her hand!

And the jade pearl has bowed down to the emperor and queen of the upper head, and said word by word: "Jade Mingzhu, the eldest princess of King Qi, see Your Majesty's mother!" ”
