Chapter 8: The Princess's Mansion Flower Society

It's just that she was wandering outside late tonight and was found by the patrolling nursing home, which was already weird, and it was really hard to spy on Zijin Pavilion again, so she touched a copper lock stupidly, and she turned around and went back to her small courtyard.

For several days, the mysterious man did not return. Mu Lingkong stared at the snow-white window paper, and thought to himself: Why didn't this person come? Could it be that you were caught? Where did he want to take me that day?

In the morning, Dongxue came over and called her to get up, and when she saw Mu Lingkong, who was sitting on the bed and was very sober, she was dumbfounded, "Miss, why did you get up so early today?" ”

Mu Lingkong nodded weakly, and dressed up under the service of Dongxue and Qingli, but the dark circles under his eyes were barely covered with a lot of gouache.

"By the way, what day is it?" She turned her head sideways and asked the two maids behind her.

Dongxue said on the side, "Twenty-two! ”

"Twenty-two......" she muttered, stared at herself in the mirror for a few more times, and found nothing unusual, then got up and walked to the bookcase, "You guys go out, you don't have to wait here." ”

"Yes." The two maids withdrew and closed the door for her.

Mu Lingkong rolled up the sleeve embroidered with silver vines on his left hand, and on the snow-white slender wrist bone, there was a bracelet with three strands of gold strung with Dongzhu, there was no other decoration on the chain, only a pigeon-egg-sized Dongzhu was shining, and a circle of thin openwork gold edges was wrapped around it, and the pattern was very peculiar.

She stroked her fingers over the gold edge, twisted it slightly, and saw a sesame-sized hole in the east bead, and then she lowered her sleeves and began to copy today's calligraphy.

At night, through the open window leaves, she saw two lake-blue birds parked on the branches of the flowers and trees opposite, with long green feathers falling on their tails, and after smiling slightly, she lowered her head and continued to look at the notebook in her hand.

When it was ugly, there was silence in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and suddenly, a dark shadow swept over the heavy eaves, so fast that people thought it was a wisp of green smoke. If you look closely, you will see a small shadow in front of the black shadow leading the way until it stops at a flower tree in a yard, and it is a small bird of lake blue. The shadow followed and stopped on a thicker branch next to it, silently, without dropping a leaf.

After a while, the door facing the flower tree squeaked open, and Mu Lingkong walked out neatly dressed and smiled at the black shadow on the tree.

"Come in." The voice was as light as an air, but the black shadow on the tree still heard it, and after Mu Lingkong turned around and entered the house, he quietly followed in like a shadow.

There was no light in the room, Mu Lingkong listened to the sound of the door being closed behind him, and then sat on the chair at the table, the person behind him had already knelt down silently, and after the sound of the placket rubbing, a low man's voice sounded, "See the master!" ”

"Well," Mu Lingkong replied, but didn't let anyone get up, "Has the traitor found out?" ”

The black shadow's head seemed to hang lower, "It was Beishuo's dereliction of duty that failed to discover the presence of a traitor in the accompanying team in time, so that the master suffered this great disaster, and now one of the traitors has been found out, and the interrogation is from the Zhennan Palace." ”

"Heh, Bai family," she sneered lightly, "My pro-military camp can be inserted into the dark pile, and the frost and snow camp needs to be reorganized." Tell Bei Jue to bring 50 military sticks by himself, and then let Su Qinghe cooperate to recheck the background of everyone in the Shuangxue Battalion, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again. ”

"Bei Jue has already punished himself, and the Frost and Snow Camp is also starting to investigate."

"Well, did you bring any medicine?" Mu Lingkong suddenly asked.

Beishuo looked up and saw that Mu Ling's eyes reflecting a faint moonlight in the sky were no longer as black as ink, but a light purple. He hurriedly lowered his head, took out a sheepskin pouch from his chest and handed it to her, "When I came down, I brought a bottle of medicine, which is enough for the master to use for three months." ”

The Northern Underworld royal family was born with purple eyes, which is said to be caused by the exotic blood of the ancestors. Usually walking in the people, for unnecessary trouble, often with the pills dispensed by the Tai Hospital, you can temporarily change the color of your eyes, but the effect of the medicine varies from ten days and a half months. When she came to Nanyue Country this time, she originally brought enough pills, but after that assassination and overboard, she almost lost the things on her body.

Thinking of the purpose of coming to Nanyue Country this time, she asked again, "Is there any news of the poisonous immortals?" ”

Bei Shuo shook his head, "The code left behind shows that the poison immortal has appeared near Cloud Chasing City, but our people still haven't found anything yet. ”

"The missing spies haven't been found?"

"Yes......"

Mu Lingkong was silent. She came to Nanyue Kingdom this time to find a poison immortal to detoxify her father.

6 years ago, the Northern Emperor Mu Zhao was assassinated while hunting in Wuliang Mountain, although Mu Zhao returned to the palace normally to deal with political affairs, everyone thought that His Majesty the Emperor was unscathed, but no one knew that there was a sword stabbing him in the chaos, and the sword was highly poisonous.

The Northern Underworld Palace gathered the power of all the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital, and it was barely able to suppress the toxin, but it would recur every year, and in the long run, Yu Shouyuan would be hindered.

This year, the time of recurrence became more and more frequent, Mu Lingkong was worried and hurried, but Mu Zhao laughed, "I spent the first half of my life fighting the horse field, and the second half of my life Kuang Fu Sheji." There is a female volley, a wrist resourceful, not lost to me, a child Lingfeng, although frail and sickly, but loyal, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. I will leave it to you, I can rest assured! ”

Mu Lingkong looked around for a way to detoxify, and overheard someone mention that there was a poison fairy in the rivers and lakes who had retired for many years, and there was no poison in the world that he couldn't solve, so she sent someone to inquire in the four countries, and finally there was news back, saying that the traces of the poison fairy were found near the cloud chasing city in Nanyue Kingdom, and then suddenly there was no news, and the three waves of people and horses sent out in a row disappeared silently, and the stone sank into the sea.

She couldn't sit still and insisted on coming to Nanyue to find someone in person. Father and Emperor Brother tried their best to stop it, but she knelt under her father's throne and tears rained down, "Father, Erchen can't watch your body fail and pretend to be nothing, seeing that there is a glimmer of hope now, Erchen must give it a try, please!" ”

Mu Zhao couldn't, so he had to be approved.

As a result, they encountered an ambush before they reached Cloud Chasing City. There were few people she brought this time, and the other party was all elites, and when she was surrounded by Huaishui, she accidentally slipped into Huaishui.

The moat and the Huaishui are connected, and she unknowingly floated into the moat outside Chasing Cloud City, and was rescued by the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Bei Shuo has always been a silent person, and he has no curiosity at all about how Mu Lingkong appeared in the Nanyue Prime Minister's Mansion, and quietly knelt at her feet waiting for the order.

When Mu Lingkong pulled out of his thoughts, he glanced at him, "You...... It's safe to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion now, and you don't have to follow me, follow them to find the poison fairy!" ”

"Please let your subordinates stay with Your Highness!" Beishuo looked stubborn.

Beishuo has always been the most loyal guard by her side, and he will never disobey her orders, and today is the first time.

Mu Lingkong raised his eyebrows, and finally relented, "Okay, then you can hide it well!" ”

Beishuo and Beijue are brothers, one is in the dark, with the protection of the attendants, and the other is in the light, leading the frost and snow camp. Since he was a child, Beishuo has been like Mu Lingkong's shadow, and hiding it is a trivial matter for him.

"Yes," he replied softly, pushing the door open, only to see a shadow flickering and no trace.

Mu Lingkong slept the most down-to-earth sleep since he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion this night.

The next day, Mu Lingkong stood under the flower tree in a very good mood and teased the birds. Meng Ruyue ran in in a hurry, "What time is it, are you still in the mood to tease the birds here!" ”

At a glance, the lake blue bird standing on her snow-white fingertips and tilting her head was very cute, and she couldn't help but reach out to tease it.

I saw that the originally very tame bird suddenly flapped its wings and flew away, and disappeared from view at a very fast speed.

"What did you want to say?" Mu Lingkong turned his head and asked her.

"Oh, Kang Ping Gong is holding a flower party, you got the news!"

Mu Lingkong did receive the news, so he nodded. Meng Ruyue's eyes widened, "Then you still look so idle, don't you know that Meng Ruyun is going crazy?" ”

Mu Lingkong nodded.

Meng Ruyue looked at her suspiciously, "You know the purpose of the princess's flower party!" ”

Mu Lingkong nodded again.

Meng Ruyue collapsed and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and clean up and take out all the things at the bottom of the box, are you really not ready to get married?" ”

Princess Kangping is the sister of today's saint, and she married into the Guidehou Mansion, which is full of nobles. She held a flower party this time and invited all the marriageable ladies in Cloud Chasing City to participate, just to choose a wife for her son who has reached the age of 17.

Guidehou Mansion is a high-ranking family, and it is normal for some noble girls to flock to it, but more people heard that Princess Kangping also invited several of her sons and nephews to come over.

Who can Princess Kangping's sons and nephews be, they are all relatives of the emperor! So the circle of nobles in Cloud Chasing City is boiling.

Mu Lingkong still had a faint expression, she had already told her when the old lady sent Mama Zhang to pass the word, after all, she was a person who had eloped, although she didn't succeed, but her reputation was bad, and some well-informed people in Cloud Chasing City also knew some news.

If it was before, of course it would be good to marry into this kind of family, but now, she can only pick some people who are not as good as the Prime Minister's Mansion, and if there is anything in the future, the Prime Minister's Mansion can help her.

Mu Lingkong knew that the old lady really loved Meng Ruqing, so she would say such heart-wrenching words, so she was ready to listen to the old lady's words and stay in the mansion obediently.

Meng Ruyue thought that she was afraid that some people would know about her elopement, so she didn't dare to go out because she looked at her strangely, so she took her arm and ran into the house, "If you're still worried about that, it's completely unnecessary, what a big deal!" If anyone dares to squeeze you with this, see that I don't slap her big ears and shave! Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also went! ”
