Chapter 148: Turning Back Won't

Murong Zhi never thought that one day she would be so uncomfortable because of Qing Ruifan's small move. She has always thought that she is brave enough, enough to use her strength to block the malice of the whole world, enough to let herself live a life that may be peaceful or heroic. But at this moment, she realized that no one has ever been able to escape this so-called world, and no one has ever been able to transcend the world.

Yunshuang is already waiting to get married with spring in her eyes, and it is only a matter of time before Qing Ruiyang is there. Yesterday a concubine ceremony was held. Because the saint is still the pillar of the entire southern Xinjiang after all, she is extremely luxurious in red tape, and everything that can and can't come is here, all just because Qing Ruifan wants it.

At that time, Qing Ruifan gave only one request - he wanted to block the mouth of the envoy from southern Xinjiang, and in fact, Murong Zhi did meet the requirements and helped him do it. Even after many years, this concubine gift will make people talk about it with relish. Whether it is the richness of the Miao Xinjiang elements or the highly valued Miao Jiang customs, all the details show the royal family's attention to the saint, and at the same time announce to the world that the entire southern Xinjiang has been regarded as in Qing Ruifan's bag.

The envoy from Southern Xinjiang was very satisfied, but Murong Zhi was very responsive. When the concubine was gifted, she personally handed over the concubine's codex and seal to her, although she smiled very slyly, Murong Zhi didn't see any calculation from it. What really made Murong Zhi feel irritable was Qing Ruifan's title. When Qing Ruifan called her, she was called "queen".

Murong Zhi has not challenged her bottom line for so many years, but Qing Ruifan's actions made her feel offended.

"Doesn't my mother still refuse to eat?" Li Xia looked at Murong Zhi, who was guarding Yuan Luo in the courtyard and refused to leave, and whispered to the palace maid who was standing next to her, and the palace maid shook her head with an expressionless face. The current Murong Zhi is not worthy of anyone's expression, because she herself has no expression at all.

Lixia didn't know what was wrong, but she remembered that Murong Zhi's face was not right after Concubine Feng's gift came back, with a pair of godless eyes, and she only knew how to squat and look at the flowers. Qing Ruifan should be accompanying Concubine Yuan now, and this nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, and she definitely doesn't remember to come over.

"Go get a bowl of porridge and come to me." Lixia still wants to have a good talk with Murong Zhi, no matter what time there will be, there will be a way, this is what Murong Zhi taught her. The palace maid retreated, and Lixia slowly approached the courtyard wall. The coldest part of winter is gradually gone, and although the remaining recovery period is long, there is still hope for it.

"Mother, why is this difficult?" Murong Zhi turned a deaf ear. She knew what she was doing, but she felt so tired that she couldn't breathe.

"Lixia, look at Yuanluo's leaves." Lixia followed the voice and looked over, shocked. It turned out that Yuan Luo, who was growing well, didn't know when the leaves turned yellow, and now not only the leaves were yellow, but even the number of leaves had decreased, and at this time he only saw two or three leaves.

"This ......" Li Xia can guarantee that during the time when Murong Zhi went out to co-preside over the concubine ceremony with Qing Ruifan, no one approached this plant, not even Li Xia herself.

"It's fine." Murong Zhi shook her head, and the corners of her mouth raised an arc, "Yuan Luo will recover, he will." "Murong Zhi never asks questions, and never asks others to answer obvious questions. Since everything is obvious, asking is nothing more than trying to have peace of mind. But the sense of security has always been given to herself, and this kind of pleading-like behavior cannot be done by Murong Zhi.

"Let's eat something first, so that we can be more prepared and wait for Yuanluo, isn't it." Lixia didn't let go of every effort that could drag Murong Zhi back on track. Murong Zhi knew her intentions, but whether it was okay or not, she didn't say a word. Just stood up, stretched, and asked Lixia to gather everyone.

In Fenglan Palace, Murong Zhi held the first meeting, the first time he convened it on his own. Li Xia has done so well in many aspects that there has never been a big matter in the Fenglan Palace that can cause trouble in front of Murong Zhi. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, Murong Zhi himself can't be sure, but the current matter can't be explained clearly with a simple sentence or two.

"I must admit that Lixia is a good assistant." The first sentence at the beginning sounds the same to everyone's ears, and I don't know if I think this way in my heart.

"That's wrong." A voice came from outside. Everyone was stunned, then looked towards the cloister. It's the Yuan Concubine. She was only a concubine two days ago, and she came in so suddenly, but she was not afraid of anything.

"See Concubine Yuan." Murong Zhi stood still, and the servants in the courtyard were also alert, bending their knees and saluting, greeting blessings in their mouths, all in one go. Murong Zhi didn't speak, just looked at her quietly. Fenglan Palace has never been liked by concubines, and there are usually few people who are willing to come in and sit, and at the same time, Murong Zhi doesn't like people to come in - this is his own territory.

"It is said that the queen is simple, and the concubines didn't notice it before, but now it seems that this is the case." Concubine Yuan gently twisted Luo Pa to cover the corners of her mouth, as if she was mocking, "If it weren't for Niangniang standing on this ladder, the concubine really wouldn't know who is the master and who is the servant." "The voice is delicate, but it is also domineering.

Lixia's "presumptuousness" was already on her lips, Murong Zhi gently raised her hand and shook her head, and then looked at Concubine Yuan with her eyes attentive. This person is not very impressed by her, but if she wants to stir up trouble, then Murong Zhi has to think about it. "Concubine Yuan crossed the palace gate guards of the main palace, not just to complain about the clothes of the main palace."

Murong Zhi's words are actually not good. She said that Concubine Yuan crossed the palace gate guards, which can already be regarded as a crime, although Concubine Yuan came in without notification, but she didn't use the word Yue, and then said that Murong Zhi's clothes, she used to complain, and she was already warning Concubine Yuan in secret, this is Fenglan Palace, Murong Zhi's territory, and Murong Zhi is the only existence. If you don't understand it like this, Concubine Yuan is really not a big problem.

"Niangniang is too careful, the concubine is nothing more than looking at the palace gate no one, thinking that the slaves are lazy, so they want to come in and show Niangniang, so that people can guard it, but I didn't want to come in and see Niangniang so pure, and I was influenced by Niangniang for a while, so I said something insignificant, and asked Niangniang to forgive my sins." Concubine Yuan explained every problem of Murong Zhi, and also portrayed her as an acute sub-queen who only knew how to criticize, and her interlocking rhetoric was flawless.

"Yes, that's really hard work." Murong Zhi laughed, and nodded by the way, like a modest and cautious virtuous queen, calm and tight. "So, does Concubine Yuan have something to tell this palace?" The principle of not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing is universal at all times.

"It's fine. The emperor summoned his concubines to lunch, passed by Niangniang, and came in when he saw it. Concubine Yuan subconsciously lowered her head when she mentioned Qing Ruifan, and two red clouds flew on her round face, looking very tight. Murong Zhi nodded lightly as if she didn't see it, then looked up at the sky, urging her to go to Yongyuan Hall as soon as possible, it would not be good if it was delayed.

She didn't want to block Concubine Yuan from anything about Qing Ruifan, because there was no need. Qing Ruifan and her have nothing to do with each other.

Concubine Yuan looked at the group of people standing below, and after curtsimming her knees and answering yes, she still didn't forget to stimulate Murong Zhi again: "It's still a good discipline for the mother." Murong Zhi looked at Concubine Yuan with white eyes, pretending not to know what she was talking about.

"But," this sentence turned around, and Murong Zhi quietly waited for her next step. "Niangniang still has to be kind to the noble concubine, after all, she is also the master of the harem." Others have listened to the lie that "something happened to the noble concubine", which does not mean that the concubine is too. She was able to see ** in Lixia's eyes, which also gave her the opportunity to flirt. It's all very simple, it's nothing more than a hit and it off.

"Yes." Murong Zhi pretended to be contemplative, and then let people send Concubine Yuan away, the uncertainty on her face and the slight panic on Lixia made Concubine Yuan very proud in her heart. She still found a breakthrough point to make the master and servant turn against each other, and the plot is up to others!

In the entire Fenglan Palace after Concubine Yuan left, the silence did not exist for long. "I don't need you to make a decision this time, but I think you can guarantee that you will be able to pledge your allegiance to Lixia, whether I'm alive or not." Murong Zhi had already begun to think about the last thing in her heart.

The little trick between her and Qing Ruifan will end here, she is not in the mood and there is no need to stay any longer. The matter on the Queen Mother's side is actually not complicated, and she is not out of the question, why it has dragged on until now should be just because she promised Qing Ruifan to help him until the court is stable.

"It's obvious to everyone how Lixia behaves, so I won't explain it anymore. I can guarantee that you will not be separated from the Fenglan Palace, but you must ensure that you are good to Lixia. "It is absolutely impossible for the Fenglan Palace after Murong Zhi runs away to be calm, of course she will work hard to ensure it, but this is the price of reciprocity. All Lixia's trust and helpers in the palace.

"Swear allegiance to the two masters." Everyone bent their knees in a knowing right, and their voices were in unison. Murong Zhi looked at the clear sky outside, and suddenly felt sour in her eyes. After flattening everyone down, she looked at them as if she were her own family.

On a rare occasion, Murong Zhi lowered her head, closed her eyes slightly at everyone, and said softly: "It's hard work." "After entering Fenglan Palace, even if it was safe and sound before, but the days after that will definitely make them exhausted. This in itself is just Murong Zhi's revenge alone, although these people are servants, they are also innocent and clean lives.

When the crowd dispersed and returned to the main hall, Li Xia grabbed Murong Zhi's hand from behind for the first time, and the cold touch made her heart chuckle. Murong Zhi didn't look back, and pulled her to the inner court.

"!" Lixia pounced as she knelt down. Murong Zhi didn't look back, or rather, she couldn't turn back.
