Chapter 7 White Dew Villa
The next morning, Mu Lianche woke up with a feeling of nausea in his chest and a dizziness in his head. Shi Xiu said as he waited to freshen up
"Childe, drink less in the future, if you let the princess know, you will definitely blame us"
"Did you wake up to take care of me last night?"
"Yes, you drank with Bai Shaoxia until late, and you didn't let us come and serve, Bai Shaoxia came out of your room early this morning and asked us not to disturb you."
"Oh, is he okay?"
"The little one looks bad at his face, he must be very drunk, and he takes care of you all night, and he hasn't gotten up yet!"
"Tell the kitchen to prepare the decanting soup."
"The small one has been prepared, you drink it first, Bai Shaoxia will send it when he wakes up in a while."
After drinking the sobering soup, Mu Lianche felt a lot more comfortable. After washing, he walked out of the room and saw that the door of the west wing was still closed, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart. knocked on the door and no one answered, so Shi Xiu brought the sobering soup and prepared to send it himself, but saw Bai Xing step out of the door.
"You're awake, come, have a bowl of sobering soup." Mu Lianche handed over the soup bowl with concern
Bai Xing took the bowl and drank it all without answering.
"It was my bad last night, so I dragged you to drink."
"I'm drinking well, and I'll have to go out of the house in a while." Bai Xing's eyes seemed to have some evasive meaning
"Shi Xiu, was it that I was very out of shape yesterday, and I woke up in vain?" Mu Lianche asked puzzled
"Childe, how do you know about the little one, you two don't let the little one serve you when you drink. The princess just sent someone to call the son to go over with the little one, presumably it must have been last night. Hey, this board can't be avoided" Shi Xiu's face twisted into a bun
In the main hall, Princess Ji sat upright in the hall, her curved eyebrows and eyes were as gentle as water
"Che'er, my mother has something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter with the concubine?"
"You.. It smells of wine," the princess frowned
"Shi Xiu, did the son drink?" The princess raised her eyebrows slightly
"The child couldn't sleep last night, and it took a little wine to fall asleep." Mu Lianche hurriedly rushed to cover up
"Got another headache?" The princess's expression suddenly became anxious
"No, don't worry. Concubine Fang Cai said that she had something to discuss with Che'er? ”
"Yes. A few days ago, when I entered the palace, the Queen Mother mentioned that the Duke of Jinnan was going back to Beijing to report on her work in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and his daughter Lanlin County Lord would also accompany her, and the Queen Mother intended to be a matchmaker for you. ”
"Huh? Marriage? Mu Lian Chezi was shocked
"Yes, you have also reached the age of marrying a wife, the county lord of Lanlin is the same age as you, I heard that you were born with a beautiful appearance and a well-behaved temperament..."
"Mother, the child has no intention of marrying at present, I hope that the mother concubine can return to this marriage."
"Presumptuous" Princess Ji's apricot eyes widened and raised her tone
"The Queen Mother's will, how can you refuse! Do you know the Queen Mother's painstaking efforts to protect you and protect our entire palace! The Duke of Jinnan has been stationed in the Southern Regions for many years, holding heavy troops, and he is even more proficient in the palace, and has a close relationship with southern Xinjiang. The marrying of the county lord of Lanlin into the Ji Wangfu is equivalent to our support from the Duke of Jinnan, which is very important. The princess changed her image of a loving mother in the past, and said it word by word with a very serious look.
Mu Lianche just stood in place, without saying a word, he didn't know how to answer, it seemed that the reason for the marriage was not to say no, but neither Mu Lianche nor Yunliu could accept such an arrangement.
"Che'er, I know you can't turn the corner yet, there is still some time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, you think about it. \" Princess Ji looked at her son who was staying where she was, and suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart. Where is the original cheerful and heroic son, the silent and gloomy person in front of him never said a few intimate words to her, and refused her to be thousands of miles away. The husband also always perfunctory and said that her son was just stimulated and needed time to recover. But she clearly felt in her heart that her son seemed to be a different person, and everything was wrong.
"After a few years, how is the senior brother doing?" Bai Xing bowed to Yichen Dao Chang, who was meditating.
"Senior Brother Yiling, don't come to harm?" Yichen slowly opened his eyes, still with a quiet gaze
"Yi Ling specially came to ask the senior brother for his sins, he has been in Beijing for more than a month, and he only came to see the senior brother today, hoping that the senior brother will atone for his sins. In addition, Yi Ling has another matter, so I implore my senior brother to solve my doubts. ”
"It's for the sake of Prince Ji's business"
"Yes, I heard that it was Senior Brother who saved Mu Gongzi?"
"Yes,"
"I heard that there was a showgirl Yunliu girl who was with him at the time, is she still there?"
"She was too injured to be saved." The eyes that were as calm as water did not reveal a trace of wandering
"So Senior Brother only saved Mu Lianche?" Bai Xing had no intention of giving up
"What do you mean?"
"I just think it's strange, everyone in the Ji Wangfu feels that Mu Lianche seems to be a different person, and he said that he has amnesia and has forgotten many things before, but the things about Fu Yunliu are true!"
"He's not like you, when you were seriously wounded, but your mind was still clear, and I had to renew your mind to the baby who was about to die. But Miss Yunliu didn't have a chance at that time. ”
Bai Xing didn't continue to ask, looking into the distance. The secret that has been hidden in him for many years is only known to Yichen. Even so, he didn't want to talk about it with Senior Brother Yichen. This time, in order to find out the details of Mu Lianche, he still touched the thing he wanted to forget but couldn't forget. A few days later, Bailu Villa wrote that there was an urgent matter in the village, and he hoped that Bai would wake up and return quickly.
"Father, you've finally waited for this opportunity. According to my observations over the years, Mu Lianche is not as rumored to be, since his assassination, the whole person is depressed, and even a little cowardly, should be able to be used by us, it is more difficult for us to support such a person, but once it is successful, it is easy to control and use. ”
"Hmph, the human heart is easy to change, especially once the power is added. It's just that King Ji has deep ambitions and must be eliminated! However, we don't have a better candidate at the moment, and Liwang and his son do not need and will not cooperate with Bailu Villa. Bai Ying smiled bitterly
