"Leaves, dress up for the main palace."
In front of the bronze mirror, Murong Xi pulled up his long hair high, smeared light makeup on his eyebrows, and wore a loose collared long skirt with arrow sleeves tied lightly, looking very free and easy.
Murong Xi ordered Ye Zi to set up an arrow target in the courtyard, and then found a bow and arrows and feather arrows.
Mu Qing has a problem.
- I like to watch the girl's archery.
In his previous life, he was placed under house arrest, and when he practiced archery, he would stop and look at him as long as he passed by. It's just that his archery skills were too poor at that time, and he never got praise from that person.
……
Murong Xi held the longbow in his hand, stepped sideways and pulled the bow, but a pair of wise eyes looked around for the man's figure.
"Look, princess!"
Hearing Ye Zi's noise, Murong Xi looked back, but he was stunned.
Mu Qing was dressed in a green robe, and she was followed by Murong Yunyue in a red dress!
Murong Xi couldn't help but be dumbfounded, only smiled bitterly in his heart, and with a turn of his hand, the sharp arrow pointed at the pair of jade people standing side by side.
"Whoosh-"!
Hearing only the sound of breaking wind, Murong Yunyue, who had been following Mu Qing's side, rushed out violently and shouted, "Lord be careful." I saw a long arrow shoot into the tree in front of Mu Qing with a "dang", and it was only half a meter away from his eyebrows!
Murong Yunyue was shocked and looked back at Mu Qing.
I saw him smile and raise his eyes, looking straight in the direction of Xi Yue Xiaozhu.
There was a crisp sound of "dang" not far away, and the "female assassin" who was shooting the arrow closed the door tightly, not letting it see it at all.
Mu Qing was dumbfounded, and he didn't care about the people on his side, and walked quickly to Xi Yue Xiaozhu.
……
As soon as he opened the door, he saw that his little princess was wearing a blue cross-collared dress, holding a long bow in her hand, her long feather-like hair was pulled up high, and several long arrows had been pierced on the arrow target.
Mu Qing was dumbfounded, and just sat aside and watched quietly.
"It's all mothers, why are they still so frizzy?"
Murong Xi was stunned for a moment, and raised his hand to gently stroke his lower abdomen.
Seeing that she was stunned in place, Mu Qing chuckled and raised her hand to hug her into her arms, only smiled and buried her face between her shoulders and neck, and said with a smile: "What?"
"Mu Qing."
Murong Xi returned his hand, and his fair and delicate palm gently stroked the cheek of the person behind him: "Mu Qing, do you love me?"
It's the same question as the first heart-to-heart meeting that day.
Mu Qing stretched out his hand and grasped the hand of the person in front of him, put it on his lips and gently dropped a kiss, and said, "Do you still want to ask this question now?"
"Do you love me?"
"Well, love."
"How much do you love me?"
"......" Mu Qing obviously didn't expect that person to ask like this, the sudden silence made Murong Xi's hand tremble, she pursed her lips, and only slowly withdrew her hand from his palm.
Mu Qing hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to clasp the man's shoulder, stared at the person in front of him with a pair of eyes like sharp knives, and said in a deep voice: "You still want to leave?"
Murong Xi only shook his head slowly: "I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"I'm in a mess right now...... It's true. Murong Xi gritted his teeth, not wanting to look at the person next to him, Mu Qing's hand holding Murong Xi's shoulder tightened.
"Ah Xi, I married Murong Yunyue for the Soul Rejuvenation Pill."
Murong Xi was stunned for a moment, and looked at the person beside him blankly. I saw one of them open his arms and hug himself tightly, and he couldn't help but be shocked again.
The man in front of him trembled a little.
He frowned, and there was a faint fragrance on him. The solid arms were so gentle that she trembled unconsciously, and Murong Xi tentatively raised her eyes and glanced at the person's side face.
"Ah Xi, I will protect you."
"Ah Xi, don't be afraid."
……
- Ah Xi, I will protect you.
- Ah Xi, don't be afraid.
Murong Xi's heart throbbed lightly at these two words.
Once again, she was moved to the point of being a mess by the man in front of her. Perhaps, she just wanted to hear Mu Qing give herself an explanation.
Murong Xi took a deep breath, and suddenly looked back, and saw his sister Murong Yunyue.
She smiled softly and wore a bright red robe. Looking at Murong Xi's gaze with a bit of complexity, she only stepped forward cautiously and gently hugged Murong Xi close to her arms: "Ah Xi has figured it out?"
"Ah Xi, the queen mother has come to the news, and she said......" Murong Yunyue stopped talking, took a deep breath and looked at the person in front of her steadily, holding her cheeks with both hands, "Bai Guifei was sent to Ruiguang Temple by her father." ”
"What!"
Murong Xi got up in shock, her delicate body hit the table next to her, her face turned pale from pain, and she stumbled under her feet. Murong Yunyue hurriedly supported her body.
Murong Xi gritted her teeth, she couldn't believe that her father would be so cruel to her mother!
Murong Yunyue raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, held her face and said with relief: "Ah Xi, don't cry, the noble concubine will not leave in a few days, I got the news to tell you in advance."
Murong Xi shook his head, and glanced at Qingshuge with a pair of tearful eyes.
"Will His Royal Highness the Lord Regent help you?" Murong Yunyue's voice was soft, and when it reached his ears, Murong Xi couldn't help but be stunned.
Will Mu Qing help her......
Does Mu Qing really love her so much?
Murong Xi didn't know.
She can't gamble with her own concubine.
"Sister Huang, help me, take me out!" Murong Xi looked at the person beside him, his eyes almost pleading.
She's leaving, she's going back, she's going to find her mother!
Although the name of Ruiguang Temple is good, the people living in it are all concubines of the previous dynasty, and they are all jealous and arrogant. And it was not a good place to go, where the women had to rely on their own labor to get food.
To put it bluntly, it is a library of Xin people outside the palace!
The mother concubine has a strong temperament, and she has never asked the queen for help in such a situation as the cold palace, nor has she accepted any charity, but only maintains her own posture and letters one by one, hoping that her father can understand the grievances of the imperial brother.
The mother concubine is the daughter of the nobles.
When I went back to Murong to visit before, I knew that my mother had suffered from several serious illnesses, and her health was not as good as before.
Now, if the mother concubine is sent to that kind of place, she will definitely be dismantled and eaten into the abdomen with no bones left!
Murong Yunyue understood her urgency, and hurriedly asked the maid beside her to change her outfit with her, and applied a thick layer of fat powder on her face to cover her face.
Murong Xi was nervous and stumbled under his feet, but he couldn't wait to grow wings and fly out immediately. Murong Yunyue led her all the way to the stable in the backyard.
"Ah Xi, Mu Qing has a meeting in the palace today, and he won't come back too early, you go out on horseback now, and I will help you in the house." After that, Murong Yunyue seemed to have been ready for a long time and handed him the burden.
"There's some money here, you can go quickly."
Murong Xi took the burden and rode all the way north, without seeing the tangled look in Murong Yunyue's eyes behind him.
……
The horses are running so fast that those who are pregnant will naturally be unable to bear it. Seeing the sunset, Murong Xi's heart became more and more anxious.
The bumps along the way made her lower abdomen feel a burst of pain, she was pale, reached out to protect her lower abdomen, and muttered intermittently: "Baby, don't make trouble, we are here to save your imperial grandmother." ”
The sky was getting darker and darker, making Murong Xi a little confused.
The whispering of owls in the woods, coupled with the ghosts in the surrounding woods, seemed a little infiltrating.
Murong Xi swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously.
Suddenly, a feather arrow broke through the air, Murong Xi subconsciously screamed and lowered his head, and his little face turned pale with fright. The horse beneath him was startled and raised his front hooves sharply.
Murong Xi's hand subconsciously let go of the reins, and his body fell back uncontrollably.
……
It wasn't the cold floor that hit him behind him, but the man's solid, warm chest.
Murong Xi hurriedly turned his head in surprise.
In order to catch her body, the man was forced to drag Murong Xi onto his horse, only to see that the person in his arms was as startled as a rabbit, with a cherry-like small mouth and a clenched crown, and his face was also crimson.
A shallow aroma pierced from her fair neck, causing Tang Xuan to panic.
"That ......" Tang Xuan's voice was low, as if his throat was blocked, he quietly turned his expression away, and only said, "Tang, it's abrupt." ”
Murong Xi was stunned, only to see the young man hurriedly speak: "I thought there was a wolf ...... over there."
Murong Xi didn't speak, only looked anxiously at the vast night.
Her horse had just run away in fright, and there was still some distance from Murong here, and if there was no horse, she would never be able to reach it.
Xu saw her anxiety, and Tang Xuan hurriedly said, "Where is the girl going?" If it's convenient, you can give the girl a ride. ”
As the words came out, Tang Xuan pursed his lips in annoyance and looked at it carefully.
I saw that the man didn't feel that he was abrupt, but looked at him with bright eyes and excitement, and his eyes were full of hope: "Really?!" I'm going to Murong's imperial capital! ”
Tang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and didn't ask more, and the two of them galloped forward on a horse.
……
When Murong Xi arrived in the imperial capital, it was already time for the noble concubine Bai to go to Ruian Temple. There were two groups of people lined up outside the imperial city to stop the people around them, and only a dilapidated sedan chair could be seen in front of their eyes.
Murong Xi mixed in the crowd, and saw from a distance that his mother concubine was dignified and was walking away slowly, and there was not even a maid beside her.
That good-looking face seemed to be even more haggard.
Behind him, his father's eyes were cold, the virtuous concubine was smiling, but the queen was not there.
"Have you heard, the third prince Murong Lang rebelled, and he actually absconded a few days ago!"
"Not really! It doesn't matter if you escape, but it will affect this mother. ”
"In my opinion, this is a great unfilial piety! Thunder will blow from the sky! ”
The voices of the people around him were as piercing as pins, Murong Xi forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and he just wanted to rush up immediately and make all the conspiracies public!
A pair of eyes are very sore.
Her father wouldn't believe her, she knew that better than anyone else.
"My son Murong Lang is a patriotic and loyal man, and the concubine does not believe that he will commit treason, no matter what, the concubine firmly believes in her son." Bai's voice was a little hoarse, and she leaned down and kowtowed to the man she had served all her life.
"The sinner Bai has gone crazy and is babbling nonsense, and the criminal Murong Lang has absconded in fear of the crime, and he still dares to quibble?" Concubine Xian's voice was sharp and abnormal, making Bai's face pale.
"Concubine ......"
"How dare a sinner call himself a concubine?" Concubine Xian's eyes turned sharp, and she only said, "Someone!" Mouth! ”
A group of grandmothers and maids poured down from the city wall, and roughly pressed Bai Shi to the ground, his already loose hair bun fell down, and his clean white robe was stained with ash.
Bai's life is upright, how can he be insulted like this, let alone slapped in public?
Bai Shi struggled, but was pushed to the ground by the grandmother next to him, the man grabbed Bai's head and raised his hand to hit it, and everyone around him sighed softly, spitting in their mouths.
I saw a figure rushing up!
"Girl!"
