Chapter 49: The Secret of Concubine Rou
But seeing that Concubine Rou's face was stunned for a moment, she glanced at Lan Ling'er, and suddenly, the clouds dispersed, and she smiled endlessly, and said: "This palace doesn't know when the relationship between Miss Lan and Mu Shizi is so good, the gate of Mu Wangfu is not something that anyone can enter, and the old prince is not something that everyone can see." ”
Lan Ling'er chuckled and said respectfully: "Niang Niang has won the award, Ling'er just has a few relationships with Mu Shizi." ”
Concubine Rou chuckled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, so that people couldn't see her joy and anger, "That's it, you go down first." Hongu is also tired. ”
"The courtiers retired."
Walking out of the 'Rouyi Palace', Lan Ling'er felt as if her breathing was a lot easier, who would have thought that Concubine Rou, who was usually gentle as water, would be such a fickle master? But I'm afraid it's more than that.
When I came to the gate of the palace, the sun had already slanted to the west, and the golden light was obliquely shining on the palace, which was particularly dazzling. As soon as I came out, I saw the carriage of Mu Xinghan guarding without wind, bathing in the sun.
In the golden light, the pure white horse is like a divine horse coming on the colorful glow.
Seeing Lan Ling'er coming over, Wufeng said respectfully: "Miss Lan! ”
Lan Ling'er nodded lightly and asked, "When will Mu Xinghan come out?" ”
"Miss Huilan, the emperor summoned the prince into the palace to play chess, and the specific time should be determined by the emperor."
Lan Ling'er frowned slightly, when she came just now, there was no carriage for Mu Xinghan at the gate of the palace, which means that he was in his later game, a game of chess, I'm afraid the sun will also set.
"Yinghong, you go back to the Blue Mansion first, and say that I will go back later, so that everyone doesn't have to worry." Lan Ling'er commanded.
"Yes!" Ying Hong left in the carriage of the Blue Mansion, Lan Ling'er glanced at the windless, then looked at the palace, and then looked at the sky, a wave of tiredness hit, and without thinking about it, she walked to Mu Xinghan's carriage in one step, jumped up, and got into the carriage.
The corners of Wufeng's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't stop it in the slightest. This is the first time Lan Ling'er has entered this carriage, extravagant and low-key, pure white mink fur is spread on the ground, people can't bear to step on it, on the table are fine white jade tea cups and some simple but delicate snacks, there are a few books on the side. Mu Xinghan will really enjoy it, Lan Ling'er sighed in her heart.
didn't think much about it, Lan Ling'er just lay down in the car and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it was, Lan Ling'er was woken up by the noise outside, and opened her hazy sleepy eyes, but her originally clear eyes were stained with a trace of confusion, and she listened attentively.
"No wind, is Mu Shizi there?" Dongfang Qin said softly.
"Back to the princess, the prince has entered the palace." Wufeng replied stiffly.
"And when is he coming out?" At this time, the voice sounded like a word.
"Back to the county lord, my subordinates don't know."
"You..." Yan Qin was about to get angry, but he seemed to be stopped by Dongfang Qin. Lan Ling'er in the car couldn't help but roll her eyes, closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, but the voice outside did not dissipate at all, Wufeng stiffly glanced at the carriage on the side, and her expressionless face suddenly showed a trace of distress.
This slightest expression did not escape Dongfang Qin's eyes, "Do you have anything to worry about?" Otherwise, can I help you solve it? "Wufeng is the only guard by Mu Xinghan's side, if he can get his help, there will definitely be more opportunities to get close to him. Dongfang Qin's abacus in her heart played loudly, but she didn't know that the trouble of the wind was her.
At this time, Lan Ling'er in the car really couldn't stand these noisy people, "What is the noise, you have to go back to your own house to quarrel." ”
"Ahh The sound that appeared rashly in the inky black carriage immediately caused Dongfang Qin and Yan Qin to scream, Lan Ling'er couldn't help but rub her temples, she was unlucky today, she was first summoned by Concubine Rou, and she was hated inexplicably, and now she can't sleep even if she is sleeping.
"Someone's in there?" After all, it was a princess, Dongfang Qin quickly calmed down, and she was still a woman, realizing this problem, which made her face feel a little sullen, which was a treatment she never dared to think of.
Wufeng's expressionless face also showed impatience at this time, "Back to the princess, naturally it is a human, there are no ghosts here." ”
Lan Ling'er in the car couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Wufeng's humorous sarcasm, but she didn't make a sound, she knew that Wufeng would send them away next.
Suddenly, Dongfang Qin choked, and said that Qin was about to say something, but was snatched by Wufeng, and said: "Let's ask the two princesses to leave first, disturb Miss Lan's rest, the prince blames it, and Wufeng can't afford it." ”
"What? Miss Lan? Lan Ling'er? Yan Qin said in surprise, and the sharp voice was particularly harsh.
Dongfang Qin on the side was also pale, moved his lips slightly, but didn't say anything. Wufeng frowned slightly, he didn't expect these two women to be so difficult, and he was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yan Qin's roar, "Lan Ling'er, you come out for this county lord!" ”
Lan Ling'er held her forehead, her face was full of helplessness, she couldn't sleep well, sure enough, everything that was close to Mu Xinghan was dangerous, but she didn't know that she herself was also a danger.
Su Shou was about to raise the curtain of the carriage, but he heard a voice as cold and crisp as water, "Is it the first time you two have seen Xinghan's carriage?" Or did Wufeng do something wrong to make the two of you so picky? "There is no undulating tone, so you can't hear any emotion.
Dongfang Qin and Yan Qin turned their heads and saw Mu Xinghan appear behind them at some point, and there seemed to be a trace of coldness in the indifferent expression on their faces. The two of them panicked and let go, Mu Xinghan walked by, glanced at Wufeng, and said lightly: "Next time someone does this, just throw it out." ”
Suddenly, Dongfang Qin's body was shocked, and he looked at Mu Xinghan incredulously, but saw that he didn't even give him a look, and Yu Qin was even more angry, but he didn't dare to attack.
Wufeng said respectfully: "It's a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates." ”
Mu Xinghan didn't pay attention to it, Wufeng quickly pulled out the bench on the side, put it on the ground, and stretched out his hand to help Mu Xinghan get into the carriage. The pure white figure suddenly disappeared into the air, leaving Dongfang Qin's resentful eyes in vain.
The windless and agile got into the carriage, and the inky black vehicle drove out without hurry.
Mu Xinghan sat opposite Lan Ling'er, his face was pale and he couldn't see his emotions, he lifted the curtain, and seeing that the twilight had not yet fallen, Lan Ling'er's eyes showed a trace of consternation, and said, "Finished playing chess so soon?" ”
Mu Xinghan glanced at Lan Ling'er, then went straight to himself for a cup of tea and said, "Naturally." ”
"You lost?" Being able to play a game of chess in such a short period of time proves that the strength of the two is indeed quite different. No matter how talented Mu Xinghan is, he is only an eighteen-year-old boy, how can he compare with the emperor.
Mu Xinghan looked at Lan Ling'er with a smile, and her thin lips opened slightly, "Since you like me so much, you can think about it next time." ”
Lan Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and then burst into a boundless smile, "Why doesn't anyone treat you as a demon?" ”
Mu Xinghan raised his eyebrows slightly, and motioned for Lan Ling'er to continue.
"Ordinary demons are so smart, they can know people's hearts and calculate the future."
"Huh!" Mu Xinghan's clear laughter overflowed from Sakura's lips, "Your imagination is really rich. ”
Lan Ling'er didn't pay attention to it, but lifted the curtain next to the car, and saw that the direction of the carriage was indeed towards the Lan Mansion, and couldn't help but wonder, "You really want to go to the Lan Mansion?" ”
"Naturally!"
"But I don't have any flower tea there." Lan Ling'er knew that Mu Xinghan would say that, just to let herself come out early.
"It's okay, it's good to go and meet Prime Minister Lan."
Lan Ling'er was speechless, "What is there to see about my father!" But seeing Mu Xinghan take a deep look at Lan Ling'er, he smiled and said nothing, seeing that Lan Ling'er's heart was furious, but he really couldn't think of any reason.
"How do you know that Concubine Rou is having a bad time?" Lan Ling'er asked, in fact, she wanted to ask what kind of person Concubine Rou was, but she felt that this was too abrupt, after all, the relationship with Mu Xinghan was not good enough to that extent.
Mu Xinghan's eyes flashed slightly, flicked the sleeves at hand, and said lightly: "Concubine Rou once had a child. ”
Lan Ling'er's eyes widened suddenly, child? It is rumored that the reason why Concubine Rou did not ascend to the throne is that she has no children, since she has children, she should have been sealed when she was pregnant, why wait until now, although it is infinitely beautiful, it is still a little bit close.
Seeing Lan Ling'er's doubts, Mu Xinghan continued: "The emperor doesn't allow it, that kid has never been known to the world, and no one knows where he went. ”
"So, she has been raising children for others all these years, and she doesn't know where her children have gone?" Then how can this woman have no resentment in her heart, how can she be so willing? Lan Ling'er couldn't imagine it.
"How can there be no resentment? It's just that there are too many complaints, so you have to be careful. Mu Xing smiled coldly.
Lan Ling'er nodded knowingly, after going through so much, a woman who can still be calm and gentle on the surface is the most terrifying. "Where is Concubine Rou's child now?" Lan Ling'er asked.
Mu Xinghan chuckled, "I don't know, if he was still alive, he would be two years older than me, but how could the emperor let him go?" ”
Lan Ling'er was shocked, and said that tiger poison does not eat children, but the old emperor can even do it with his own son, and he is also embarrassed by Concubine Rou, but how could the old emperor not think of the resentment in Concubine Rou's heart?
"Of course he knows, it's just that after so many years, Concubine Rou is gentle and virtuous, and there is no trace of anything wrong, and the emperor must have gradually dispelled his doubts."
"But... Why did the emperor kill his own child, just to prevent Concubine Rou from ascending to the throne? Lan Ling'er was puzzled.
saw Mu Xinghan chuckling, "It's not just as simple as the back position, what the emperor is most afraid of should be that someone will rob him of the throne." This was the first time Lan Ling'er had seen a trace of sarcasm on Mu Xinghan's elegant face, and she was really disgusted.
At this time, Mu Xinghan leaned against the wall of the car, closed his brilliant eyes, silent and peaceful, Lan Ling'er moved her lips slightly, and finally didn't say anything, closed her eyes, and went to sleep. Just as Lan Ling'er closed her eyes, Mu Xinghan opened her eyes and glanced at Lan Ling'er's tired face, a trace of distress flashed in her eyes.
