Chapter 11: A Mystery Within a Mystery (1)
When I opened my eyes, my brain was confused, I couldn't react to where I was for a long time, I knocked on my forehead, looked at the room I was in, all the furnishings were so familiar, Yunxia dance clothes were gone, and I was only wearing a thin white underwear, but the silver bells on my ankles were still there.
"Su Jin, are you awake?" The door was pushed open, and a person loomed in.
"Muhan?" I asked tentatively, and suddenly realized that our identities were different from before, and quickly changed my words: "No, the slave has seen Mu Meiren." "I didn't have time to say goodbye when she held me up.
"You and I were originally good sisters, why are you so angry now?" She sighed. "Last night, my minions found you lying in the grass behind the Ronghua Pool, what happened? And yesterday's assassins, you say they ......"
I looked into her eyes and didn't dodge, trying to look calm. Thinking back to last night, it was impossible for that palace maid to remove such a big living person as me from the Longcheng Palace by herself after beating me unconscious, there must be an accomplice. Thinking of this, I looked at Mu Han again, could it be, she is in the same group as that palace maid, right? No, it can't be, there's no reason for her to do it,
"There were assassins last night? You're not hurt, are you? I made a gesture to check, "I came back yesterday afternoon, I wanted to come to see you, who knew that I fell on the path to Ronghua Pond, the back of my neck hit the stone, I didn't feel anything, who knew that the more I walked, the more dizzy I became, you look at the back of my neck, it must be blue." ”
Mu Han laughed and said a silly girl, all of which looked close.
I exhaled a breath that it would be best to do what I could, and that I should never trust anyone when I had not seen everything.
The sun is just right outside the door, and the sun is shining. It's officially noon. "How are you doing?"
"What's good and what's bad? He is the emperor and my husband, but he is also the husband of the three thousand beauties of the harem, and now he has another Wanyi. I'm used to it, and I just hope that he can have a little place in his heart. Mu Han's eyes were mixed with a little helplessness and sadness, the once bright and lively woman had become so obedient and virtuous, I didn't know if I was right or wrong to help her in the first place.
"Wanyi?"
"You also know about the palace banquet last night, there is a woman who dances, I am naturally willing to bow to this dance skill, it is estimated that the whole country of Beiyan can not find a comparison with her, although she is veiled, she is also a beautiful and lovely person. And he also knows martial arts, which saved my life. It's strange to say, why did I save me when I didn't know her? Mu Han bit his lip and continued: "I heard this morning that the emperor was crowned Wanyi, and the word was given - pity. But she didn't sleep last night, which was a precedent. Today I went to greet the queen, and I met her, and she did have an amazing appearance, but I always felt that there was something worse than when I danced, maybe I thought too much. Mu Han said so forgetfully that the silk handkerchief in his hand fell to the ground.
"The emperor naturally has his reason for sealing her, don't worry too much about it, she is just a six-grade Wanyi, which is far worse than you, a fourth-grade one," I put on an ordinary green palace dress and picked up the silk handkerchief on the ground, "When I go back to the palace, I should do things, the beauty will go back to the palace to rest first, and I will clean the courtyard." Without waiting for her to respond, he walked out the door with a broom.
The courtyard was cold, the white pear blossoms fell to the ground, and although the sun shone brightly, it also gave me a chill. I tried to clear my mind and think about how I could be calculated, and the more I thought about it, the more headaches I felt. Can I live my life only in the days of calculating others and being calculated?
There is a butterfly paper kite hanging on the pear blossom tree, which looks a little dazzling, and you can see from a distance that it is very exquisitely made.
I recall that when I was a child, my mother took me to put paper kites, although the people of Liufu have always looked at us coldly, but being with my relatives is much happier than now. If I didn't know that I was the emperor of Liangxi, if I hadn't been kicked out of Liufu, my life would have been ordinary, married to a lover, married to a good man, and taught my husband and children, I would have been very happy.
Climbed up the pear tree, reached out to grab the paper kite, stood on tiptoe, and suddenly realized that he was still on the tree, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell. I screamed, closed my eyes and didn't dare to look.
There was no expected pain, and the eyes met a pair of clear eyes, and the aroma of herbs was absent. I was in a trance for a moment, put my arms around his neck, and forgot the etiquette.
"The concubine asks the emperor for peace." Mu Han's voice sobered me up a lot, and I jumped out of his arms at once.
"Slave, slave and maid collided with the emperor, and the slave and maid deserve death." I didn't dare to look up at him, and then I thought that I was no longer the beauty I danced with, so why should I be so nervous.
"Get up." His light and delicate face and slightly tired and hoarse voice make people feel very comfortable.
"Why is the emperor free today, didn't he go to the Hanshui Pavilion of Lian Wanyi?" Mu Han said as he took Bei Yuliang into the house, his cheeks flushed, and he happily ordered his subordinates to watch the tea.
"I'll come in and have a look as soon as I pass by." He said this to Mu Han, but his eyes looked at me, and I unconsciously touched the scar on my cheek, and I made sure that there was no flaw before I put my mind at ease.
The maidservant brought hot tea, he took the tea, and suddenly said: "I heard the eldest princess say that you have a master of making tea here?" ”
Mu Han was stunned for a moment, then looked at me complicatedly, and replied: "The concubines don't know that there is a tea master here, and they will find her another day." ”
"No need, I'm just talking about it."
"By the way, the concubine spoiled all the girls here, didn't hurt the saint, right?" After saying that, she hurriedly handed me a look, and I immediately knelt down. The silver bell on her ankle made a cool crashing sound, and I could clearly see the indistinct smile in her eyes.
Bei Yuliang also stood up and didn't say anything else, "I'm going back, Han'er, you can rest early." ”
"The emperor ......" Mu Han should have wanted to keep him, but the person had already gone away, leaving her alone and feeling lost, and I didn't dare to get up without permission, after all, she is now my master.
"The emperor should be angry, what happened to you just now? collided with the emperor and didn't say anything, Wanyi was talked about by others, and I have to say that I, the master, have no way to teach. ”
I didn't think that Mu Han would be angry, so I left after this meal. Getting me up alone is not kneeling. I heard that she used to be an official lady, and she should be a little arrogant, but this bit of arrogance may be a fatal weakness in the harem, I thought that a month would sharpen her gentle and virtuous, it seems that I am wrong.
I knelt for nearly an hour, my knees were numb, if I knelt like this again, it was not a way, I had more important things, I had to find out whether the failure of the performance was due to the ghost in the palace or the leakage of my Dark Night Pavilion. Or, this is simply Beiyu Jinchen playing tricks.
During this time, I must find a way to go back to the cabinet and discuss it with my aunt and Rongying.
Just as I was about to get up, a palace maid sneaked in, walked in front of me, and took out two buns from her arms, "It's been an hour, are you hungry?" Eat it, don't let them find out. ”
