Chapter 271: Secret Letter
"Fourth princess, don't you stay for dinner before leaving?"
Aunt Gao watched Mu Qingyan walk out of Old Madam Mu's house, with no expression on her face, and hurriedly stepped forward to save her.
She still didn't know what was going on inside, but it shouldn't be a big deal to look at Mu Qingyan's expression.
What's more, Old Madam Mu felt that she was going to die, so she confessed to Mu Qingyan!
It's rare, Mu Qingyan is willing to come to Mu Mansion, so why should she stay longer, lest those staring eyes look at it and don't know what kind of ugly words to say.
When Mu Qingyan heard this, her eyes swept lightly over Aunt Gao on the side, which was just the right amount of flattery, her brows couldn't help but be slightly raised, and she glanced back at the room behind her.
Although Mrs. Mu is the old lady of the Mu family and the mother of Mu Hanshan, in many cases, to the Mu family and Mu Hanshan, Mrs. Mu is more like a superfluous person.
The old lady Mu that Mu Fu needs is the one who can do anything good for Mu Fu and Mu Hanshan, however, when there is a need to sacrifice, Old Madam Mu is the first to be abandoned......
is obviously a person who can be in charge of things in the Mu Mansion, and is obviously the most valuable old lady in the Mu Mansion, why did she end up with such a consequence in the end!
That's the answer...... You can still live if you do evil in heaven, but you can't live if you do evil in yourself!
There was silence for a while.
Mu Qingyan walked past Aunt Gao and walked out of Old Madam Mu's courtyard, restraining the tightly clenched hands in her sleeves.
"Princess......
Luan'er, Yan'er, followed behind, and shouted softly in worry.
Just when Mu Qingyan walked out of Old Madam Mu's room, they noticed that there was something wrong with Mu Qingyan's expression, even if it looked so calm.
Mu Qingyan's footsteps did not stop in the slightest, but walked faster......
Aunt Gao was left aside by Mu Qingyan in the cold, staring at the disappearing back, and couldn't help but speak: "Master, the old lady didn't say something to make the four princesses angry, right? If so, then ......"
As he spoke, he reached out and covered his mouth with a handkerchief, his voice full of horror.
Mu Hanshan stood not far away, listening to Aunt Gao's delicate voice, his brows furrowed tightly.
"The old lady is sick and confused, and what she said is nonsense, the fourth princess won't believe it!"
Besides, anyway, it's not long before she says anything about Mu Qingyan, that's also the old lady's business.
As soon as a person dies, it is a hundred, is it possible, Mu Qingyan still wants to find a dead person to be angry?
"However, it's rare for the fourth princess to come, so let's go......" Aunt Gao still said with some reluctance, still thinking that Mu Qingyan could bring more fame to Mu Mansion and raise the reputation of Mu Mansion.
What she was afraid of was that Mu Qingyan would leave angrily, so that tomorrow, the capital would not know how it would go viral!
This, the circle of ladies in the capital, she finally broke into a little circle, but she didn't want to be beaten back to her original shape tomorrow.
"Okay, don't talk about it!" Mu Hanshan said in a deep voice: "What you have to do is to hurry up and go to serve the sick, the old lady is sick, what do you care about this!"
When Aunt Gao heard this scolding, she couldn't help but say aggrievedly: "The concubine is just, I just want outsiders to know that the fourth princess does not hate Mu Mansion as rumored outside......"
Hearing this, Mu Hanshan didn't speak, and turned his eyes to look at the room with the door closed.
As the son of Old Madam Mu, he knew very well that she would not do anything unfavorable to his son.
Besides, she would never have dreamed that the poison in her body was the one he had ordered......
"You are a concubine, according to the rules, there are some things that you can't say, don't be fearless because of my recent favor with you, do everything without permission, and speak without permission, this is not smart but stupid!" Mu Hanshan glanced at Aunt Gao coldly.
Aunt Gao's boldness and enthusiasm show not a group of harmony, but his back house is unstable, and the concubine is unskilled!
When Aunt Gao heard this, her face turned white in an instant, and she hurriedly leaned over to Mu Hanshan and saluted, and said in a low voice: "The concubine has overpassed, and I ask the master to spare the concubine, and the concubine is just for the sake of the master, and she has no other meaning at all." ”
"Okay, go and decoct the old lady!" Mu Hanshan said coldly, Aunt Gao's expression was suffocated, and her expression stiffened.
This is clearly to send her!
Aunt Gao lowered her eyes, and the expression on her face was faint.
"Master, the concubine is going to ......"
Looking at the back of Aunt Gao leaving, Mu Hanshan's eyes fluctuated......
Four Princes' Mansions.
"What is this?"
"Back to the master, this was sent by Concubine Ye, saying that it was given by the emperor and the queen, and the yellow and white things were for the princess, knowing that the princess liked it, she let it be sent to the princess. As for this, this lily lotus seed soup was also rewarded by the emperor and queen......" Shao Dong announced.
In the end, this lily and lotus seed soup is the point, what to say about sending yellow and white things to Mu Qingyan, but to send him lotus seed and lily soup to remind him that he is the emperor and the queen!
Hearing this, King's Landing looked cold, and said indifferently, "Take it out!"
When Shao Dong heard this, he raised his head and couldn't help asking, "Master, take out the lotus seed and lily soup, don't you need to take the yellow and white things?"
God knows how much the princess likes this kind of real thing, what a pity it would be to take it out!
King's Landing looked at Shao Dong and said coldly: "Her small treasury is enough for the big families in the capital to eat for decades, is it possible, can this thousand taels of gold enter her nose? Or, do you think this king is only worth this? How many times is this king's treasury her small treasury, will she let this king drink this bowl of soup for this little thing?"
After speaking, Shao Dong couldn't speak, and King's Landing had already raised his feet and walked towards the study.
Looking at the back of his master, Shao Dong frowned, and his eyes fell on the plate of golden gold on the table, as well as the stewed pot of lotus seed and lily soup!
What about the emperor and empress rewarding them personally? They are not still disliked by their masters, and what they do not want to do can be forced by others to change their tricks!
In this way, Ye Xun really seems a little redundant in the Four Kings' Mansion, which is an eyesore!
It's just that the emperor and the empress personally did favors for Ye Xun and sent lotus seed and lily soup.
The implication is so obvious, if you think about it carefully, the master and the princess have been for a long time, and the princess's belly has not moved at all, which is really worrying!
In the study.
"Master, the princess has returned to the mansion, and just now Mu Rin also came to the mansion and is asking to see her outside. ”
Hearing Zhang Qing's words, Junlin raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his eyes, and said coldly: "Has this king asked me to report this matter?"
When Zhang Qing heard this, he couldn't help but tighten his neck, and looked up at his master, obviously the master asked him to pay more attention to the princess, why now......
Although he was puzzled in his heart, when his eyes met the cold and thin eyes of King's Landing, Zhang Qing hurriedly lowered his head and said cautiously: "My subordinates are wrong!"
At this time, the best response is to admit your mistake.
Of course, if he refutes it, he doesn't dare to say that he is not a princess and will not be killed by his master. The master is reluctant to die, but he knows that if he refutes, he will definitely be killed by the master, and the master is absolutely willing.
If the master says he is wrong, then it must be his fault!
Zhang Heng stood aside and looked at Zhang Qing, sighed deeply inside, and shook his head silently. Zhang Qing was stunned, and the master asked him to pay more attention to the princess's movements in order to protect the princess, and the princess's temperament often made the master angry with her hair.
This thing has been tried and tested repeatedly, so as long as it is his turn to be on duty, it is definitely to avoid the serious, as long as the princess does not do anything that hurts the personal safety of the master, he will not see it.
After all, the master and the princess are not what they were at the beginning, and Zhang Qing, who was stunned, still didn't see it clearly, and it was really in vain to follow the master all these years.
actually told the princess that she went to the watchtower, and she said it vividly...... The master's unhappiness is also the most normal reaction!
However, Mu Rin is an accomplice, even if it is a brother and sister, Mu Rin's attitude towards the princess is too weird, it is simply beyond the care of ordinary brothers for their sisters, even if they ask for warmth, it is really unpleasant to work hard in everything.
In this way, everything that the princess needs has been done, what does the princess want her husband to do?
A dispensable existence? No one is happy if they are replaced......
In the gazebo of the main courtyard.
Mu Qingyan had just sat down for a while, and she didn't know how she walked back to the Four Princes' Mansion, however, at this time, Ye Xun came over unexpectedly.
"Concubine, please say hello to the princess!"
When Mu Qingyan heard this, her eyes moved slightly, looked at Ye Xun who was coming, and said coldly: "What's the matter?"
Ye Xun looked at Mu Qingyan and said directly: "I don't know if the princess likes the things sent by the concubine?"
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan raised her eyebrows, and asked coldly, "Why can't I understand what you said?"
"Could it be that the princess hasn't listened to the princess yet?" Ye Xun looked at Mu Qingyan in surprise and said: "The concubine got a reward from the emperor and the queen, and the first thing I thought of was what the princess liked, so I sent it to the main courtyard." ”
Mu Qingyan listened and said lightly: "Well, I know, you can go!"
Ye Xun has never been a stupid person, no, it should be said that Ye Xun has always been a person with a city government, why did she appear just after she returned to the Four Kings' Mansion, naturally it will not be a good thing, of course, at least it is not a good thing for her.
The so-called reward things are for Ye Xun, so needless to say, those things are definitely not good things for her.
"Princess, don't you want to know what those are?" Ye Xun didn't listen to Mu Qingyan's words and left, but said softly: "The concubine thought that the princess would be very interested, and she would be very happy to receive it!"
Mu Qingyan raised her eyebrows, looked at Ye Xun with a soft face, and said coldly: "Rounding around, I'm not tired of talking, I'm tired of listening." ”
At this time, she really didn't have any mood to deal with Ye Xunxu and the snake, if she did this, it would be too ugly!
"Princess, what did you say! The concubine body just drank lotus seed and lily soup with the prince at the mouth of the emperor and the queen, and did not deliberately come to the princess to listen to it, and after the concubine came back from the palace, she sent everything directly to the main courtyard. ”
Ye Xun stretched out his hand and gently wiped it with a handkerchief, the corner of his eyes, and said: "The concubine knows that the princess likes yellow and white things, and gave the princess the gold rewarded by the emperor and the queen. I thought I could get the princess's approval!"
Hearing this, the corners of Mu Qingyan's mouth slightly hooked up a sneer, and said, "You really have a heart!
Hearing this, Ye Xun smiled lightly and said, "The concubine is just thinking about serving the prince with the princess, if there is anything that has offended him in the past, he wants to make up for it." In the future, I hope to be able to serve the prince well with the princess, and that is enough!"
In the past, Ye Xun's hostility towards Mu Qingyan was from the heart, and she naturally did not forget how Mu Qingyan treated the woman in the backyard of the Four Princes' Mansion.
Now, Mu Qingyan's belly is not angry, but Mu Qingyan is still the fourth princess, and she is still the woman who has been favored the most by the four princes, she is just a side concubine, and it is not a simple matter to take care of Mu Qingyan at all.
Even if there is a queen and a prince behind her, it is impossible for the entire Guozhang Mansion to be the backstage.
Because, the consequences of rectifying Mu Qingyan are not something she can bear, nor is it something that the entire Guozhang Mansion can bear.
Therefore, the most important thing to do now is to work hard to be able to conceive the first heir of the fourth prince, and all the things to do are also to let Mu Qingyan be generous, retreat in the face of difficulties, and stop her from serving the fourth prince.
Ye Xun's meaning, Mu Qingyan knew it in her heart.
"You said that the emperor and the queen meant, then you should go and tell the fourth prince, not come here to tell me. As for what you said, I can't promise you!" because, she won't want a man that other women have used.
Ye Xun was personally asked by the fourth prince for the emperor's marriage, even though King's Landing had never summoned Ye Xun to serve in bed, but Ye Xun had become a thorn in the gap between her and King's Landing.
Even if she and King's Landing didn't say anything, Ye Xun still easily provoked the hard-won relationship between the two of them......
There are ripples, as for whether there will be monstrous waves in the back, it is really unknown!
Although, as the fourth princess, if you really want to take Ye Xun seriously, it is too simple, you don't have to do anything, and put the princess's shelf to let the women in the backyard of the four princes suffer.
In this way, Ye Xun naturally can't escape, but unfortunately, she Mu Qingyan disdains to do this.
When Ye Xun heard this, his eyes sank, and he said in a deep voice: "Princess, is it true that there is only one woman in this life, there are only four princes?
Mu Qingyan glanced at Ye Xun lightly and did not speak again.
Seeing this, Luan'er immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The princess is tired, please go back to Concubine Ye!"
Ye Xun saw Mu Qingyan's cold look, leaned over and saluted, and said, "The concubine has retired first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted his feet and walked out.
When I walked to the exit of the corridor of the pavilion in the main courtyard, I met Mu Rin who was standing there.
Ye Xun's expression couldn't help but sink slightly, he stopped, and said softly: "Brave general, it's really surprising to come to the princess at this time!"
Mu Rin glanced at Ye Xun lightly, and did not reply, but raised his feet and walked inside.
Ye Xun glanced at Mu Rin's back, and a gloom flashed in her eyes, and the only people who dared to do this to her were the two brothers and sisters inside......
"You're here!"
Mu Qingyan looked at Mu Rin who walked in, her eyes changed, no longer cold just now, but with a slight watery light.
"Why don't you add a cloak to the princess?" Mu Rin looked at Mu Qingyan's frozen red fingers, couldn't help frowning, and asked Luan'er and Yan'er on the side in a deep voice.
Mu Qingyan greeted Mu Rin and said, "Don't blame the two of them, it's that I don't want to wear them, sometimes, the cold can make people sober." Sit down!"
Ye Xun listened to the faint voice and left quickly.
At this time, she has more important things to do......
Mu Rin sat down beside Mu Qingyan, tied the cloak tightly around her shoulders, and then grabbed her cold red hands and put them under her mouth to breathe.
Then, Bian said to Luan'er and Yan'er, "Hurry up and bring the stove!"
"Brother, I'm much warmer!"
When Mu Rin heard Mu Qingyan's words, she let go of her hands, frowned and asked, "The secret guard said that you came all the way back from Mu Mansion, did the people of Mu Mansion do anything bad to you?"
"Brother......
Hearing Mu Qingyan's choked voice, Mu Rin's brows couldn't help but wrinkle even tighter.
When Mu Qingyan went to Mu Mansion, what happened inside?
After calming down her emotions, Mu Qingyan said tightly: "My mother was sent by Mrs. Mu to throw her from the cliff of broken love, she said, my mother has excellent water affinity, and under the cliff of broken love is the largest river that runs through the dark river......
When Mu Rin heard this, his expression turned grim, and he said in a deep voice: "She really said that?"
"Hmm!" Mu Qingyan nodded, and said: "She was poisoned by Mu Hanshan, but she couldn't rest assured that Mu Hanshan had already secretly walked with the people of the Lin family...... So use this news in exchange for the rest of Mu Hanshan's stable life. ”
No matter how you say this, it is Mrs. Mu's fault, and she can't say anything about it, but Mrs. Mu said that it was Ye Xin who asked for this......
Hearing this, Mu Rin said softly: "Don't be sad, maybe, our mother is really not dead, as long as there is a little hope, it is enough to support us in searching." Besides, our mother is the saint of the Water Tribe, a mysterious race with the ability to get close to God, so I never thought that our mother would die easily. ”
"Really?" Mu Qingyan raised her eyes and looked at Mu Rin expectantly.
Mu Rin nodded, then put a cup of hot tea on her hands, and said, "Take a sip of hot tea to warm up your body, you still say that you are already warm, and your face is still so pale." ”
Mu Qingyan listened to Mu Rin's words, the uneasiness and resentment in her heart gradually calmed down, and she took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, the hot tea entered her throat and reached her stomach, forcing a burst of cold air all over her body, and her face became a little ruddy.
After Mu Rin took a sip of tea, he said quietly, "Does the prince know about this?"
Mu Qingyan shook her head and said, "I probably don't know! I don't plan to tell him about this, and it may be even more bad for us to say it!"
Mu Rin's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, and he said, "That's right! However, I just listened to Steward Shao's words, and the fourth prince seems to be in the study." ”
After hearing this, Mu Qingyan's expression became a little weird, and then she said in a cold voice: "Just now, you met Ye Xun when you came, right?"
Mu Rin raised her eyebrows, sensing something wrong, but she still responded, "Well, it just happened to meet your face! What did she come to you for?"
Mu Qingyan heard this, and when she was about to speak, Yan'er's voice sounded.
"Princess, eldest young master, the prince is here!"
As soon as these words came out, Mu Rin's outstretched hand paused slightly, and his eyes flashed.
When Mu Qingyan heard this, her expression was uncertain, and the biggest flash in her eyes was a surprised and unexpected light, shouldn't King's Landing be with Ye Xun at this time?
Why did you come here all of a sudden?
Just now, she has been back from Mu Mansion for so long, and he hasn't moved at all, what are you doing here?
After a while, King's Landing appeared in front of the two of them.
"Knock on the prince!!"
King's Landing is the king, and the two brothers and sisters still saluted when they saw it.
"It's windy here, send the princess back to the house. King's Landing said lightly to Luan'er and Yan'er.
Luan'er, Yan'er, hearing this, was silent for a moment, and then responded: "Yes!"
"It's cold, let's go back first!" Mu Rin looked at Mu Qingyan and said softly.
Mu Qingyan wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth to speak, Mu Rin took the lead and said: "The night is thick, and the wind is even colder to the bone, don't be willful, it's freezing but it makes your relatives feel distressed!"
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan was silent, then looked at the two men standing in the pavilion, and took a step towards the house not far away.
Mu Rin watched Mu Qingyan leave, his eyes moved slightly, he just stood in place and watched Mu Qingyan's back, and didn't say anything.
Back in the house, Mu Qingyan stood in front of the window and looked into the pavilion, only to see the figures of the two men but couldn't hear their conversation.
I can't even think of it, what kind of fuss is this?
King's Landing appeared, and the first thing she did was to get rid of her, was there anything she needed to avoid?
What else is there she doesn't know and can't know?
in the gazebo.
King's Landing sat on the main seat that Mu Qingyan had just sat on, and Mu Rin stood aside.
Under the instruction of King's Landing, Zhang Heng and Zhang Qing guarded the entrance.
Other than that, there was no one else in the gazebo.
"Sit down!"
Hearing this, a dark color crossed Mu Rin's eyes, flashed, and was fleeting.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
For such a thing, Mu Rin felt very sudden, and he couldn't guess what King's Landing wanted to do.
King's Landing looked at Mu Rin's handsome face, then looked away lightly, and said lightly, "Someone!"
Instantly, out of thin air, a man appeared and knelt in front of him.
"Give it to him!"
"Yes!"
The fourth prince ordered that the secret guard kneeling on the ground took out a secret letter from his arms, raised his eyes to look at Mu Rin, and said, "This is a secret letter from Lin Tao to the Chu State......
