Chapter 497: Cracking the Alliance (I)
"The Yue family?" Le Qi didn't react for a while, Mu Qingya got up, and she remembered that the maiden family of Concubine Liu and Concubine An was not the emperor's father-in-law's family, and Miss was going to see the Liu family and the An family.
Mu Qingya had just cleaned up and dressed up, and before she could go out, Xia Qing came in and reported that Princess Mingli was here.
"Go and ask the princess in."
When Duanmu Mingli came in, her expression was a little frightened: "County Lord." ”
Mu Qingya frowned, and turned her head to look at Le Qi: "Go and bring tea." ”
"County Lord, you don't need to drink tea, you must help me." Duanmu Mingli waved his hand to let Xia Qing and the others go down, and said with an anxious face.
"Don't be in a hurry, princess, just take your time."
"The people of the Liu family and the An family came, followed by a few officials, and after they came, they played to the imperial brother to expel Junqing."
"Expelling the Three Princes? Why? ”
"It is said that Canglan is in a difficult situation, Junqing must have wolf ambitions when he came to Yuhan at this time, and they also said that I am already a married princess, not only do not help Yuhan seek benefits, but also help Canglan to persecute Yuhan, so ungrateful......"
Mu Qingya's eyes moved suddenly, and her expression was full of coldness: "The official of the performance came with the people of the Liu family and the An family?" ”
"Well, yes, county lord, you must help me." Duanmu Mingli was very anxious in her heart, although she had married to Canglan, she couldn't help but care about the evaluation of her by the people of Yuhan, because she would have to rely on Yuhan's support in the future, otherwise it would be absolutely difficult to gain a foothold.
"The princess doesn't need to be in a hurry, and she doesn't have to worry too much, the emperor must have his own arrangements in his heart, and besides, the reason why those officials want to explain your affairs is not to suppress you, but to drag me into the water." Mu Qingya pondered for a long time and said.
Duanmu Mingli was shocked: "Drag you into the water?" Why are they doing this? ”
"They must know what happened during this period of time, especially the people of the Liu family and the An family, they must know the emperor's thoughts about me, plus the Kong Ming lantern last night, if you are the family of Concubine Liu and Concubine An, what would you think?" Mu Qingya raised her eyes to look at Duanmu Lingyu, with a cold smile in her eyes.
"Hurry up with that!" With Mu Qingya, there is no place for other women in the harem.
"That's right," Mu Qingya sneered, "The emperor protects me, and I have so many guards around me, it is not so easy for them to directly threaten my safety, so they can only start from elsewhere, princess, you are my friend, I naturally won't watch you have an accident, so I will inevitably intervene in this matter, and then it will be much easier for them to do it." ”
Duanmu Mingli bit her lip: "That's true, county lord, you don't have to worry about this matter, I'll handle it myself!" "Qingya is the only love in the heart of the imperial brother, she can't be too selfish, let Mu Qingya risk for her own selfish interests, and when she returns to the Yuhan Palace, Qingya ascends to the position of the queen, and there is a chance to correct her name.
"How can I not care about this matter, the princess was implicated because of me, no matter what, I will settle this matter and give the princess a clear reputation." Mo Junqing is going to compete for the throne next, and Duanmu Mingli is very likely to become the queen of Canglan, and there can be no stain on her body.
"But this matter ......" Duanmu Mingli frowned, and before she could finish her sentence, she heard a fierce commotion at the door.
Le Qi walked in quickly: "Miss, Liu Haide and An Zhengxin want to see Miss." ”
Duanmu Mingli got up unconsciously: "County Lord, you still don't want to see them, I'll let people invite the imperial brother." ”
"No need," Mu Qingya shook her head, "At this time, the emperor must have heard the news and wanted to come over soon, if they don't come over, I also want to see the majesty of the two adults, just when the opportunity comes, the princess is interested in continuing to take a look?" ”
"Good!" Looking at Mu Qingya, who was unusually calm, Duanmu Mingli's heart also settled down, she bit her lip and nodded and said, her voice was full of determination: If Liu Haide and An Zhengxin dare to make any rude moves against Qingya this time, she will not be stingy and tear her face, as long as the imperial brother is on Qingya's side, then she will be able to get the support of the imperial brother, with this, it will not be sad in the vicissitudes.
Mu Qingya hooked the corners of her lips, and a streamer flashed in her eyes: "Leqi, go and invite the two adults over." ”
"Yes, miss." Le Qi glanced at the shadow that was hidden in the dark, and walked out slowly with a serious face.
Liu Haide and An Zhengxin are both in their forties, and they are well maintained on weekdays, and they don't look old at all, although they are waiting outside, but their attitude is very arrogant, with a domineering momentum.
Le Qi snorted in his heart, and said coldly: "Two adults, please." ”
Liu Haide squinted slightly and glanced at Le Qi, sneered with disdain in his nose, and then strode in.
Mu Qingya and Duanmu Mingli were sitting on the seats, one left and one right, and the smoke was rising from the tea cup in their hands, which looked particularly leisurely and elegant.
Liu Haide and An Zhengxin entered the door and saw Duanmu Mingli, their hearts moved slightly, but they were not too surprised, after all, they planned to participate in Duanmu Mingli to the emperor just so that she could find Mu Qingya to complain.
"I've seen Princess Mingli."
Duanmu Mingli raised the teacup and took a slight sip of tea, looking at them coldly. She didn't shout, these two people naturally couldn't be exempt from the courtesy, so they kept the action of bowing down, and after a while, Duanmu Mingli put down the teacup, and said with surprise in her tone, "Did the two adults just finish the salute?" I didn't hear you salute Lord Mu, and I thought you didn't finish saluting, so let's calm down quickly, two adults. ”
Liu Haide's face was ugly: "Let the princess not notice that it was ours, please forgive the princess." ”
"Forgive me or not, but secondly, speaking of which, the county lord Mu is the county lord is also considered to be the second grade, if this princess is not mistaken, your official positions are now the third grade, the royal brother only said it yesterday, and the two adults were demoted just now."
Liu Haide's face turned blue, and he was about to say something when he opened his mouth, but he was stopped by An Zhengxin: "Weichen didn't pay attention, but it made the princess smile, because Yuhan didn't have a precedent of making the daughter of a courtier the county lord before, so he didn't adapt for a while, and asked the county lord Mu not to be surprised, we should make up the etiquette according to reason." ”
An Zhengxin's words were to create a stumble for Mu Qingya, so that she would open her mouth and avoid their salutes. Mu Qingya naturally heard it, but she didn't plan to do it when she heard it. These two people originally came to embarrass her, and she exempted them from etiquette, not only would not make the two of them grateful, but would make the two more and more arrogant.
Therefore, after hearing this, Mu Qingya just looked at the two of them coldly, and sat on the seat waiting for the two of them to salute her.
Liu Haide gritted his teeth and bowed to Mu Qingya with An Zhengxin: "I've seen Lord Mu." ”
"Two adults are exempt." Mu Qingya didn't deliberately delay, and exempted the two of them from saluting on time, but this salute itself was enough to make them feel unfair.
"The emperor has arrived." Duanmu Lingyu strode into the tent and looked at Liu and An with a grim expression, "You guys are so bold, it seems that you didn't take my words to heart at all." ”
Liu Haide and An Zhengxin's faces changed suddenly, they thought that the emperor would come over soon, but they didn't expect the emperor to come over so quickly, and the idea of getting rid of Mu Qingya in their hearts became more and more firm, no matter what, they couldn't let Mu Qingya return to Yuhan smoothly, otherwise there would probably be no place for their daughter in the palace.
"Wechen has seen the emperor."
"Hmph, what is the matter with the two of you coming here, who do you want to participate in the same way as those officials?" Duanmu Lingyu's voice was cold, his eyes were full of scrutiny, and the aura on his body was even more compelling.
"Back to the emperor," An Zhengxin replied, "Weichen has no other meaning, this time I came to see the county lord Mu for two purposes, one is to ask the county lord to help, help treat Concubine An, the emperor also knows that Concubine An's physical condition is too bad, the doctor's medical skills are limited, Weichen heard that the county lord can treat the plague, and he should be very clever in medicine, and secondly, there is one more thing, that is, Weichen heard that the dagger that stabbed Niangniang was also poisoned, and the second purpose is to understand the scene at that time, See if you can find any clues about the Assassins.
Duanmu Lingyu's eyes were cold, looking at the eyes of the two of them full of mockery, before An Zhengxin spoke just now, Liu Haide was clearly angry and wanted to sue, but was interrupted by An Zhengxin, this scheming fox has always hidden the fox's tail well, and this time it can be regarded as revealing some clues. There must be some agreement between these two people behind them, so let me see if your relationship is solid.
"Oh, in that case, Qingya, you can go and help Concubine An take a look, speaking of which, I am busy investigating the assassin's affairs, and I haven't had time to visit Concubine An yet, so let's go and see it together this time." An Aiqing, about the assassin, I will leave it to you to investigate, you must investigate it clearly, clearly, don't have the slightest omission, otherwise I will ask for you, understand? ”
"Yes, Wechen obeys."
Liu Haide frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by An Zhengxin with his eyes.
Fingers swiped over the jade bracelet on her wrist, Mu Qingya thought coldly in her heart, these two people can actually cooperate, it seems that the pressure she has brought to them is really not small, but looking at Liu Haide's appearance, the cooperation between these two people is not particularly smooth.
An Zhengxin opened his mouth with interest: "In this case, Weichen will thank the emperor and the county lord on behalf of Concubine An, and the ministers will retire." ”
Seeing that the two of them were about to go out, Mu Qingya looked at Le Qi: "Lord Liu, wait a minute, I heard that Concubine Liu's face was a little damaged, so I have been thinking about sending some things to visit, and it just so happened that I found a medicinal herb in the past two days, which is especially effective in treating scars, Le Qi, go and bring the jade skin cream to Lord Liu, and let him bring it to Concubine Liu." ”
