Chapter Twenty-Four: Ancient Crossing Chapter 12
Xia Mu'an is doing well here, but Murong Wan'er is having a very bad time!
"Bump—"
Murong Wan'er angrily threw everything in the room to the ground, her eyes full of gloom.
Damn, I don't know what's going on during this time, my luck is always so bad! It's as if someone is doing something against themselves! After thinking about it carefully, Murong Wan'er thought, if it was specifically when it started to go wrong, it should be the day of the banquet!
That day, it took her a lot of time to lure away Ye Xi's maidservant, and finally sent someone to take her to that room, originally planning to find someone to defile her, but she didn't expect King An to also appear there! But it doesn't matter, even if that person is replaced by King An, it will be beneficial and harmless to her! After all, a prince who defiled the daughter of the Ye family in someone else's house has almost no reputation, right? And the woman who was defiled was also destined not to be treated well! As long as all the evidence is led to Murong Xin'er after this, then no one will be able to find her head!
The plan was originally implemented well, but I didn't expect that the person who sent someone to lead the guests to that room was detained by Murong Hao! Murong Hao called her into the study and reprimanded her fiercely, saying that as a concubine, she didn't have the heart to tolerate people, and her mind was so vicious, not only did it to the Ye family's concubine, but also to her own sister!
Scold! With a sneer, Murong Wan'er didn't know how Murong Hao knew about this, but didn't he think it was too late for him to say that he should be tolerant and generous now?
To say that the reason why Murong Wan'er dealt with Ye Xi was just because of jealousy! Jealous of Ye Xi's favor, jealous of Ye Xi's beauty and talent, and even the third prince praised her more than once in front of her! How can this make her not hate?
I thought that even if there were no guests to go to that room, there would be people to go, but I didn't expect Ye Xi to be in that room, and she was still standing in front of her intact the next day!
Later, Murong Hao casually found a reason to confine her up. It didn't take long for Murong Wan'er to send someone to invite the third prince Xiahou Yuan after she came out, but she was rejected by the third prince!
Thinking of this, Murong Wan'er tightened her sleeves!
And it happened that at this time, the second prince came to the door.
"The people's daughter sees the second prince!" Murong Wan'er leaned over and saluted.
"No need to be polite!" Xiahou Chun helped Murong Wan'er up, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"I don't know what the second prince came to find the people's daughter?" Motioning for the maids to retreat, Murong Wan'er poured a cup of tea and asked.
"Huh!" Xiahou Chun took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I know that Miss Murong has had a lot of troubles recently, does Miss Murong know where your troubles come from?" ”
Hearing this, Murong Wan'er raised her head and looked at Xiahou Chun, "Can the second prince know?" ”
"If I don't know, why did I come from?" Xiahou Chun raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.
Murong Wan'er was silent for a while, and then asked, "I don't know what the second prince wants?" ”
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Xiahou Chun looked at Murong Wan'er and said, "You cooperate with this prince, and this prince will help you deal with King An!" ”
"King An? Is the person behind that King An? Hearing Xiahou Chun's words, Murong Wan'er was a little surprised. She has no grudge against King An, why did King An want to harm her? At this time, Murong Wan'er completely forgot what she had done to Xia Mu'an before!
Xiahou Chun smiled and did not answer.
Murong Wan'er gritted her teeth and said, "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude!" ”
The two of them here were discussing how to get rid of Xia Mu'an, while Shen Li and Xiahou Yuan on the other side were not completely defenseless!
Looking at the information sent by the secret guard, Xiahou Yuan smiled and raised his eyebrows and said, "Tut-tut, this Murong Wan'er is too stupid!" casually listened to Xiahou Chun's words, and wanted to deal with Mu An! ”
"In that case, what are the people who don't know whether they are alive or dead left for?" Hearing Xiahou Yuan's words, Shen Li glanced at him.
"She has so many secrets! What kind of terraces, what dams, like she said, if these things are really made, it will be too good for the people in the south and even elsewhere! "Sighed, Xiahou Yuan really didn't understand where Murong Wan'er knew this!
As for why no one thought that Murong Wan'er came up with it? can only say it, but she doesn't know what the specific plan is! I don't know what to do! Is it possible that this situation was thought up by her Murong Wan'er?
"Whatever you want, you can't let them get close to An An in short!" Shen Li was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry! The people under Murong Wan'er's hands are all under my control, and Xiahou Chun's side is almost the same! won't let them get close to Mu An. Speaking of this, Xiahou Yuan looked at Shen Li with some pleasure.
Although the two only met because of a transaction at first, he really had a brotherly relationship with Shen Li, after all, Shen Li is really good! Originally, he was worried that if Shen Li found a young lady from the minister's family to marry in the future, then he was afraid that he would have to cut off some of his powers, but he didn't expect Shen Li to fall in love with Mu An!
"If you're envious, you can find one yourself!" Glancing at Xiahou Yuan, Shen Li said.
"It doesn't have to be!" Shaking his head, Xiahou Yuan looked at Shen Li with some grievances. This is typical of abandoning friends when you have a sweetheart, right?
After that, the two of them planned something in the room.
Xia Mu'an found that Shen Li was very busy these days, and every time he fell asleep, he vaguely felt that Shen Li was back, but every time he woke up in the morning, the other side of the quilt was cold, which made him think he was dreaming! It wasn't until the next person prepared a meal for him that he knew that these were Shen Li's orders.
Xia Mu'an didn't ask the system what Shen Li was doing recently, but every time the management system came out and said that the question of the host was not within the scope of the system's answer, Xia Mu'an didn't ask the system after that.
At this time, in the capital, I don't know when some rumors began to spread: Xia Mu'an, the king of An, is a short-sleeved man who likes men, and that man is still Shen Li, the general of Zhenguo!
As we all know, it's not that no one likes men, but it's always hidden! Although the broken sleeves in Linyi Country are not spurned, at least they will not be too popular! What's more, the person Xia Mu'an likes is Shen Li, the general of Zhenguo?
If Shen Li, the general of Zhenguo, is the god in the eyes of these people, then Xia Mu'an, the king of An, is a gentleman! Now the gentlemen actually like their gods! This is totally intolerable to them!
For a while, Xia Mu'an could be said to be hated to the heart! But Xia Mu'an stayed in his house all the time and didn't go out! Although the people in his house knew these things, they did not dare to say anything to him.
So when the emperor announced that he had entered the palace, he didn't know why at all!
"See the emperor, the queen mother, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the queen mother, long live the queen mother, long live the thousand years old!" Kneeling on the ground, Xia Mu'an once again complained that there were too many etiquettes in the palace.
"Mu An, hurry up, come here, let Aunt Wai see if Mu An has lost weight again!" Before the emperor could speak, the queen mother signaled her personal female official to help Xia Mu'an up.
"Aunt Grandma~, where did Mu An lose weight?" Xia Mu'an recalled the memory of the original owner, walked to the queen mother's side and said coquettishly, "Look at it, I have a lot of meat on my face!" "This queen mother is the person who loves Xia Mu'an the most, she is over sixty years old this year, she is healthy and ruddy, and she occasionally helps the queen manage the harem. The queen mother is Xia Mu'an's mother's aunt, Xia Mu'an's mother lost her mother at birth, and Xia Mu'an's grandfather was on the battlefield at that time, so it was inconvenient to take her with her, so the queen mother, who was still the queen at the time, brought Xia Mu'an's mother into the palace and brought her up. So for Xia Mu'an, he is also extremely favored!
"You little slippery head!" The Queen Mother smiled and pinched Xia Mu'an's face.
"Ahem!" Xiahou Yi looked at his queen mother and couldn't help coughing.
"If the emperor is not in good health, he will take a good look at the imperial doctor, if he is tired, I don't know how many concubines will come to the mourning family to train the queen!" Hearing Xiahou Yi's voice, the Queen Mother said lightly.
Sighing, Xiahou Yi also knew that he really owed a debt to the successor, and he usually didn't care about the third prince Xiahou Yuan, which inevitably made the queen mother feel a little uncomfortable. After all, that's how the father treated their mother and son back then!
"Queen Mother, I announced that Mu An entered the palace this time because I had something to tell him, how about I send Mu An over later?"
The Queen Mother glanced at Xia Houyi, looked at Xia Mu'an again, patted Xia Mu'an's hand and said, "Go, there is an aunt to support you!" ”
"Yes, Auntie!" Xia Mu'an nodded obediently.
In the imperial study, Xiahou Yi couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the young man in front of him who looked like his cousin in his eyebrows. Originally, I was going to reprimand the young man, but now I can't say it!
He grew up with Mu An's mother, and he was a good brother with his father, but in the end, it was his own child who killed the two of them! It wasn't that I didn't intend to punish that son of a crime! But the situation at that time was very serious, there was an invasion of other countries outside, and there were courtiers who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country.
As a last resort, only a few insiders were executed, and the family of the former queen was degraded and punished! That's what brought things down! Then the queen mother asked Mu An to be brought close to the palace, which calmed down the matter.
"Imperial cousin?" Xia Mu'an looked at the emperor's somewhat sad eyes and couldn't help but speak.
"Mu An, the emperor's cousin asked you, do you really like Shen Li?"
Hearing Xia Houyi's question, Xia Mu'an's face turned red, and he said glutinously, "Well, Uncle Huang, I like Shen Li!" ”
Looking at Xia Mu'an's expression, Xia Houyi was silent for a while before saying, "You must know, you are different from that Shen Li, he is a hero in the hearts of the people, if you want to be with him, how many grievances will you have to suffer?" ”
Lowering his head, Xia Mu'an's face was a little pale, he had been spoiled by Shen Li during this time, and he hadn't thought about these problems at all! He knew that homosexuality was not widely accepted even in modern times, otherwise he would not have been unaware of it before. How much more so in this backward ancient world?
Looking at Xia Mu'an's appearance, Xia Houyi couldn't bear to continue. Waving his hand to let Xia Mu'an leave, Xia Houyi thought that maybe he should talk to Shen Li.
