Chapter Fifty-Seven: Breaking into the Palace at Night
Mu Li opened his mouth slightly, looking at Mo Jinlan speechless with a shocked expression.
"Li'er... If I continue to look at it like this, I may be a little overwhelmed..."Mo Jinlan's eyes sank slightly, and his fingers rubbed lightly against Mu Li's lips.
Looking at Mo Jinlan's hot eyes, Mu Li's old face turned red and he lowered his head uncontrollably.
"Hehe..." chuckles came out of Mo Jinlan's mouth, and Mu Li's face turned even redder.
It's weird, it's not that I haven't seen a handsome guy in my previous life, and I haven't heard love words. Why, speaking from his mouth now, makes me feel overwhelmed.
"You... You go. Mu Li felt that if he went on like this, he was afraid that he would make a fool of himself, so he directly opened his mouth to drive people away.
"Li'er, this is shy." Mo Jinlan looked at Mu Li with a doting face, and she loved her like this.
"If you don't leave, I'm going to be angry!" Mo Jinlan's ridicule made Mu Li's head buried deeper.
"Haha, okay, Na Li'er rest early, you must remember what I said." Mo Jinlan knew that if she continued to play tricks like this, this little woman would really go crazy.
After taking a deep look at Mu Li, Mo Jinlan was reluctant to turn around and leave.
A soft breeze blew on his face, and the tip of his nose no longer had the breath on Mo Jinlan's body, and Mu Li knew that he was gone.
Raising his head slightly, his eyes staring at the bright moon in mid-air, Mu Li's heart was complicated.
"Whew...," the beast had become smaller, and came out of the room on its short legs, and barked at Mu Li's back.
Mu Li turned his head, looked at the eyes of the Nightmare Beast, and smiled slightly: "What's wrong?" Mu Li said as he walked towards the Nightmare Beast.
The beast sat obediently, with its head tilted, looking pitiful.
Mu Li bent down to pick up the Nightmare Beast, and then looked at it blankly: "Uh... If only Mo Jinlan hadn't left, it seemed that he could know what you were thinking. ”
After Mu Li finished speaking, the beast was embarrassed, and a wave of disgust appeared on the beast's face.
If her strength is higher, she will be able to speak directly!
Mu Li didn't know what the Nightmare Beast was thinking, and he didn't understand how to communicate with the Nightmare Beast for a long time. Because the Nightmare Beast and the Boiled Egg don't seem to be the same, the Boiled Egg can speak when he is very young, while the Nightmare Beast doesn't seem to be able to.
Mu Li, who finally gave up trying to communicate, walked into the room with the nightmare beast in his arms.
"Qingsi, you go get a nest for it." Mu Li said, reaching out to hand the monster in his arms to Qingsi.
However, as soon as the beast heard that Mu Li actually said that he would make a nest for himself, he was instantly unhappy.
It is a spirit beast in the upper realm, how can the sleeping place be called a nest?
No, Qingsi was about to take it, but the nightmare beast jumped to the ground with a struggle, tilting its head to the side and making a tsundere look.
"Hey, it looks like it's angry." Qingsi looked at the nightmare beast and opened her mouth in some surprise.
Except for the braised egg, Qingsi has never seen a spirit beast with a certain mind like this.
"What's so angry about it?" Mu Li was also confused, and he didn't know why the Nightmare Beast was angry.
The Nightmare Beast was almost angry, obviously he used to be able to speak human words, but because of Mu Li's strength, his level was suddenly lowered a lot.
Nowadays, not being able to speak, not being able to communicate, is simply too unconscionable.
"Could it be... Hungry? Because the Nightmare Beast couldn't speak, Qingsi began to speculate.
When the beast heard this, it immediately turned its head to look at Qingsi, looking longing.
"Seems so." Mu Li saw that the Nightmare Beast was reacting, and said thoughtfully.
"Then I'll get it something to eat." Qingsi chuckled, bent down and picked up the nightmare beast and walked out.
The beast didn't resist this time, but enjoyed it very much nesting in the crook of Qingsi's arm, and its drooping tail shook again and again, it seemed to be very happy, after all, it was more important to fill its stomach than the nest.
Mu Li shook his head amusedly, then walked to the edge of the bed and sat down to stay beside Lan Youlian.
When Old Man Liu arrived, only the room and kitchen in the courtyard where Mu Li was located were lit up. After hesitating for a moment, Old Man Liu actually walked in the direction of the kitchen.
"Green silk girl, what are you doing here?" When Old Man Liu came to the kitchen, he saw Qingsi fiddling alone on the stove.
"Hey, why did Liu Lao come here? Miss is waiting for you at Madame's. Qingsi turned around and was slightly stunned when she saw Old Man Liu.
"Hey, I didn't look at the kitchen light and think about coming over and looking." Old man Liu sneered, but his eyes kept staring at the pot.
Qingsi can be considered to understand, this old man Liu is rushing to eat: "Old Liu, don't look at it, this food is a new spirit beast for Miss." You better go over quickly, don't let the young lady wait for a while, and detain your medicinal herbs. ”
"Hey... You know how to threaten the old man with this. Old man Liu sighed, stroked his beard and said.
"Qingsi is not a threat, has Liu Lao forgotten the incident of the boiled egg last time?" Qingsi smiled, and couldn't help but laugh when she thought of it.
"Ahem, ahem... The old man is going, this is going. Old man Liu's face changed, and he quickly turned around and left the kitchen and walked in the direction of the main house.
Looking at Old Man Liu's hurried pace, Qingsi shook her head amusedly.
"Miss, may you come in?" Old man Liu came to the outside of the room and said to Mu Li inside.
"Come in." It wasn't until Mu Li's voice came that Old Man Liu reached out and pushed the door in.
"I did a cursory examination for my mother, but I still didn't feel at ease. So, I can only let you run again. Mu Li got up, his eyes still falling on Lan Youlian's body.
"Miss, don't worry, with my old man Liu here, Madame will be fine." Old man Liu said, and stepped forward to check the pulse of Lan Youlian.
"This..."Old man Liu's face suddenly changed, and he was diagnosed again with some solemnity.
"But what's the problem?" Mu Li stood aside and asked nervously.
"The spiritual power in Madame's body has begun to backlash, and it can't be suppressed." Old man Liu withdrew his hand and said with a solemn expression.
"Isn't there anything you can do?" Mu Li's brows tightened, and he suddenly panicked in his heart.
Because Lan Youlian once told her that once the spiritual power in her body is reversed, the spiritual power will be exhausted and she will not be able to rebuild, or she will die.
However, both of these are very serious results for Mu Li.
Mo Jinlan also said today that her mother's identity is special, and she planted a trapped spirit technique for herself, which means that she doesn't want her identity to be exposed.
Not to mention what the identity of the mother is, since the mother has never wanted them to be exposed, it means that they must face a very strong opponent.
Now, if something happens to her mother, then where should she go!
"Miss, don't panic, if you want to suppress the spiritual power in Madame's body, there is another way." Old man Liu continued.
"What's the way...," Mu Li asked eagerly.
"Gathering Elixir." Old man Liu said in a serious tone.
"Okay." Mu Li responded.
The thing of gathering elixir, Mu Li has heard it from other people's mouths more than once.
Legend has it that the Gathering Spirit Pill is also a thing in the upper realm, it is something that Nangong Zhentian gave to him in gratitude when he saved an injured spirit master when he was young.
In other words, if you want to get the Gathering Spirit Pill, Mu Li must go to the palace.
"Elder Liu, I'm bothering you and Qingsi to guard your mother here tonight." Mu Li has made up his mind to go to the palace.
"Don't worry, Miss, the old man will take care of Madame for you." Old man Liu said with a serious expression.
……
Palace
Mu Li changed into black clothes, and his figure quickly shuttled on the roof.
With a rough memory, Mu Li groped all the way to the top of Nangong Zhentian's bedroom.
Mu Li, who was about to find an opportunity to sneak in, suddenly stopped, and then dodged and hid in the shadows.
"Bold! Do you know what the hell you've done! In the main hall at his feet, Nangong Zhentian was angrily reprimanding Nangong Han.
Nangong Han was sent back to the mansion by Gu Mingqian, and before he had time to heal his injuries, he was hurriedly called into the palace.
"Erchen knows." Nangong Han lowered his head, with a complicated expression on his face.
"I sent someone to warn you again and again not to act impulsively! As a result, now you tell me that not only did you dissolve your marriage with Mu Li, but you also had that kind of thing with Mu Wanwan! Nangong Zhentian was almost angry, his old face turned red, and he couldn't wait to go up and kick him a few times.
"Father Wang Mingjian, Erchen received a secret report, saying that Mu Li's slut had a private meeting with a man in a restaurant, and for the sake of royal face, Erchen had to go to investigate! Who knows, Erchen was plotted by that slut! Nangong Han gritted his teeth and said.
Mu Li on the roof listened to Nangong Han say this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a touch of sarcasm: "What kind of secret report, isn't that something that even the old mother who buys fruit on the street knows?" ”
Nangong Zhentian's face was gloomy, if Nangong Han wanted to dissolve the marriage contract before, he would have turned a blind eye, after all, Mu Li didn't know spiritual power, and he was really not worthy of the prince.
But the Queen Mother spoke, asking him not to bully the young man into poverty. Doesn't the meaning of this clearly mean that divorce is not allowed?
As a result, the people he sent to warn Nangong Han had just left on the front foot, and this kind of thing happened on the back foot!
And in front of so many people, now I can't make sense of finding an excuse to prevaricate the past.
Nangong Han has no other way than to marry Mu Wanwan!
"Father, the sons don't understand, a waste, why does the imperial grandmother attach so much importance to it!" Nangong Han finally couldn't help but ask.
This question has been bothering him for a long time, and he has never understood why the Queen Mother wants to find him a waste wife if he is so good.
"I don't know this question." Nangong Zhentian didn't know, and asked many times, but the Queen Mother passed it off.
"Well, it's a foregone conclusion, it's useless to say anything. Mu Wanwan, you give her the title of a side concubine. The position of the crown princess can only be Mu Li. Nangong Zhentian waved his hand with a headache and said.
"Erchen..."Nangong Han still wanted to refuse, but Mu Li's true face suddenly flashed in his mind, and he stopped when the words came to his mouth, and then changed his words: "It's all up to my father." ”
When Mu Li heard this, his eyes sank: "Arrogance, do you really think that you are the omnipotent son of heaven!?" Miss Ben's marriage is not your turn to decide! ”
