Chapter 21 Enter the palace and say goodbye
Since returning from the Taoist temple on the day of the beating, Princess Ji has been sick. Infected with wind and cold, cough does not get better. I invited a doctor to see the disease, saying that the princess had depression and cough caused qi deficiency, although it was not a serious illness, but it was necessary to recuperate. King Ji often came to visit the princess's house, and what he said was nothing more than whether he had taken some medicine or not, and had a good rest. Maybe it's because of the lack of qi, the princess doesn't seem to be nagging about everything as before, just a few short answers, okay or something. Mu Lianche hadn't communicated much with King Ji before, and he had deliberately avoided it since he came back from Bailu Villa. Although he knew that this was too deliberate, it was much easier not to meet than to hide his hatred and fear from his father. But on this day, King Ji still specially called him to the study for questioning. On the way to the study, he was nervous, not knowing what his father was going to say, not knowing if he would hide his nature, and having a terrible thought that he would hide a knife behind him and plunge it into his chest when he was not looking. Is Bai Xing's hidden guard nearby at the moment? Mulencher tried to calm himself down as if nothing had happened
"Che'er, have you been to see your mother today?" King Ji asked.
"Back to my father, the child has gone to see it. The concubine looks good today, although she still coughs, but it is lighter than yesterday. ”
"That's good. You see, your mother has been sick since she came back from Yuntaiguan, and she hasn't gotten better after taking so much medicine. I want to ask, did you accompany your mother to the mountain that day, did she get cold? How did I get sick as soon as I came back."
"The child and the mother took a sedan chair all the way, and there was no cold on the road, thinking that the mother and concubine knelt on the Tianzun Hall for more than an hour, and then caught a cold."
"I see. The doctor said that your mother has depression in her and needs to recuperate, so you will enter the palace on her behalf tomorrow to ask the queen mother for peace, right? ”
"It's Father!"
"Besides, you went to Bailu Villa a few days ago, how are you doing? Did the owner of the white village find anything? ”
"After going out for a few days to relax, the child feels much more relaxed physically and mentally, and the owner of the white village said that it should be the work of King Li, and he will inform his father when he finds evidence." Mu Lianche chuckled in his heart, but he was calm on the surface
"Got it, you go back first, remember to enter the palace tomorrow."
"Yes, Father." Mu Lian Che breathed a long sigh of relief and walked out of the study quickly.
The next day was the day when Princess Ji routinely entered the palace to ask for peace, and Mu Lianche went to the queen mother's bedroom on behalf of her mother to say goodbye. Mu Huaiyan happened to be there, and he had only met once at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet that day, and he didn't say much. Today, Mu Huaiyan seemed to be deliberately staring at Mu Lianche, and even the Queen Mother on the side saw the clues
"Yan'er, what are you looking at, is there a flower on Che'er's face?"
Mu Huaiyan smiled
"Grandma Huang, I haven't seen you for a few days, I see that Lian Che's appearance is getting more and more handsome, I am really ashamed!"
"Nonsense again! It doesn't matter how big men look. As a royal bloodline, you have to think about sharing your worries for the king. Don't run around if you have nothing to do, you have to read more," the Queen Mother said
"Grandma Huang taught me a lesson! Yan'er will lock herself in the study and read when she goes back! Mu Huaiyan pretended to be serious and said, and did not forget to squeeze his eyes at Mu Lianche and motioned for him to join him
"Every time you use these words to coax the mourning family, which time did it, now even Che'er likes to run out. You guys.." The Queen Mother's tone was full of pampering. This woman who has spent most of her life in the palace never wanted to rush out of this cage-like palace when she was young, but now that Fang Ling is gone, she has no heart and powerlessness, and all that remains is to envy the freedom of those young people. What a pity, if they weren't born in the emperor's family, these two children would have been as close as siblings, but fate made them natural enemies. No matter what the future holds, the current Queen Mother really cherishes her two children.
"Che'er, how are your wedding plans? The day has been chosen"
"Back to the imperial grandmother, this matter has always been handled by the mother concubine, and now the mother concubine is sick, and the Jinnan Mansion has not chosen a date, so this matter can only be put on hold for the time being."
"How can the great event of marriage be delayed, I will choose a good day for you. Yan'er, Lian Jing's girl hasn't been pestering you all the time lately, you can help me persuade her another day, a daughter's family lives like a son-in-law all day long, and she doesn't want to get married, and her mother has a lot of gray hair! ”
"Grandma Huang, it's too late for me to hide from her, how can I persuade her" Mu Huaiyan looked helpless when he said this.
The Queen Mother wanted to take a nap, and the two said goodbye together. ”
