"Ling'er, what are you doing?" A man's voice as gentle and moist as the warm sun sounded, and his tone was intimate and full of affection. He was wearing a long white robe, swaying lightly in the wind, like a fairy. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, as soft and warm as his voice. His face is crowned jade, and his skin is better than snow, but it is unusually pale. He came like a snow lotus on a thousand-year-old iceberg, which can only be watched from a distance and cannot be desecrated.

As soon as he heard the voice of the comer, the person who was arrogant just now immediately changed his attitude, turned to look at the fairy man, stuck out his tongue, and said coquettishly: "Big brother, a golden bird flew to our house, and I let people catch it." The girl named Ling'er waved the cloth bag in her hand, "Big brother, let's make me a golden wire cage, just to raise this little thing." ”

The man like the warm sun frowned slightly, walked up to the girl, and knocked on her forehead, although there was a reprimand, but it was still gentle, "Nonsense, how many times has the eldest brother told you that you are not allowed to hurt living beings, why are you disobedient." He held out his hand to the girl, "Give it to me, I released it for you." ”

The girl pouted, grabbed the cloth bag and put it behind her, a little reluctant, and said angrily: "Big brother always nags, I don't like you anymore." I just want to raise a bird, and you don't care. ”

In the face of the girl's complaints, the man didn't care, and still smiled at the corner of his mouth. He patted the girl on the shoulder, and Qing Yue's voice was like a murmuring of water, moistening his heart, "Now you think the eldest brother cares about you?" Alright, open the bag in your hand and release the bird. Didn't you say it was a golden bird? This golden bird is not something that ordinary people can afford, don't look back to the owner's house and come to the door again. ”

"Hmph, who dares? How can anyone enter our dignified Anding County Palace? The girl looked up, looking arrogant, although she said so, she still took the golden starling out of the cloth bag according to the instructions of the eldest brother, "I saw the eldest brother put it on his face this time, and another time, even if it ran out of the palace, I will not let it go." ”

The man smiled lightly, looked at the golden silk bird in her hand, and said secretly: It is really a superb starling, with golden feathers all over its body, bright color, and it must be worth a lot of money, and I don't know which family raised it. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the golden starling was extremely psychiatric, flew directly to his palm, and with a thousand chirps, he bowed towards him again.

The girl looked at the golden bird in amazement and said happily: "Big brother, it's thanking you, it's so funny." ”

"Everything has spirituality, and if you are good to it, it will naturally be good to you." The man nodded at the starling, raised his hand, and let it go. He smiled at the high-flying golden bird, and his heart turned a thousand times, he really hoped that one day he could be like this golden bird without being trapped in the cage, and could fly freely. It's a pity that he, as the prince of Anding County, has the mission he shoulders, and in this life, until he dies, he will guard this palace.

At this time, he was silently lamenting in his heart, but he didn't know that it was because of today's actions that he not only saved Mu Xuefu, but also changed his life.

Mu Xuefu woke up slowly, slowly opened her eyes, blinked a few times, and withdrew her soul from her body before it returned to its place. She looked to the side and didn't see Jing Rong's figure. She remembered that he was by her side before she went to sleep, and even if she was asleep, she could still faintly smell the breath that belonged to him, why did she not see anyone when she opened her eyes?

"Bai Yi?" Mu Xuefu stood up and sat up, lifted the curtain of veils and beads, and called out. Because I was crying and shouting before, I was a little hoarse when I spoke at this time.

Hearing the voice, the few people who were waiting outside were happy, Bai Yi took the lead in the door, opened the curtain and folded the tent, and hung the soft curtain on the cloud hook, "The master is awake?" He picked up two pillows so that she could lean comfortably, and asked with concern, "Is the master still unwell?" ”

Mu Xuefu shook her head, and then asked, "Lord Wang?" ”

Qing Zhuo brought a cup of hot tea to Mu Xuefu and said, "The prince saw that the master had been asleep, thinking that he would not wake up until the night, so he left to deal with things. The prince said that if the master woke up, he would send someone to inform him. Does the master want to see the prince? I'll send someone to call the prince now. ”

"No, you don't." Mu Xuefu took the tea and took a sip, feeling that it was not enjoyable, and drank a cup of tea to the bottom in a row. asked Qing Zhuo to pour her a glass again, and took a few sips again, only then did she feel that her throat and eyes were much more comfortable, "The prince must have been lost" The fire word did not come out, Mu Xuefu swallowed it back, and changed her words: "Check the reason for the water." She paused, remembering the madman who was holding her, and thought, "I just don't know who that mad woman is?" Listen to the prince's meaning, that crazy woman has been detained in the backyard, but why haven't I heard anyone mention it for so long since I entered the mansion? ”

Bai Yi's face was solemn, and he frowned, "It's water again, it's a crazy woman again, and finally a corpse appears, I see more and more strange things in this Chenwang Mansion." ”

"Corpses?" Mu Xuefu was not very clear at that time, and he didn't pay attention to other things at all. After Bai Yiyi said it, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.

"Someone saw that the madwoman took the body out of the ancestral hall, but how could there be a corpse in the ancestral hall?"

How could there be a corpse in the ancestral hall, why did the madwoman suddenly run out to burn the ancestral hall, how did she know that there was a corpse hidden there, and why did she take the corpse out. What's at stake in this? Connecting the front and back in series is like a spider web that keeps forming webs, cutting and untidying and messy. Mu Xuefu clenched her hand into a fist against her mouth, bit her finger with her teeth, the more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and muttered: "It seems that this Chenwang Mansion is much more complicated than I imagined." ”

For a long time, Mu Xuefu stopped thinking about it, anyway, there was Jingrong, and things would come to light one day, so why did she bother thinking about these things that had nothing to do with her. simply put this matter behind him for the time being and didn't think about it.

After slowing down, seeing that Jin Lu was still not waiting by his side, he asked, "Where is Jin Lu?" Why haven't I seen her for a long time? ”

"Mrs. Ning Xin in the palace sent Feng Wu here, and we thought that there must be some news to tell the master, so we asked Jin Lu to greet it outside."

Mu Xuefu was stunned, there was something going on in the palace so soon? After thinking about it, he said, "Then bring it in, Feng Wu likes to eat pastries the most, prepare more for it." ”

"Yes."

Looking at the flying dance that only cared about eating the pastries on the plate with her head down, Mu Xuefu smiled and gently stroked its feathers, "Eat slowly, how can it be like you haven't eaten pastries in your life, has Mrs. Ning Xin treated you badly?" ”

"Squeak, squeak" Feng Wu finally looked up from the delicious food, looked at the master, and chirped.

"What does it say?" Mu Xuefu nodded the little guy's sharp mouth and asked Jin Lu. Although she is the owner of Feng Wu, she is too lazy to learn the beast language, so she can't understand what it is saying. But Jin Lu is different, she used to be a person next to Senior Brother Mu Xuefu, so she naturally knows the language of beasts.

Jin Lu smiled lightly and said, "This little thing is much sweeter than a few of us, it says that it usually misses its master, can't swallow it, and is sick." Now that I see my master, I have an appetite to eat. ”

Mu Xuefu was amused, laughed out loud, scooped a sip of sweet soup and fed it to it, "Oily tone!" He paused until it hiccuped, and then said, "What do you want you to tell me?" ”

"Squeak squeak squeak"

Noticing that Jin Lu's face was slowly sinking, Mu Xuefu intuitively felt that it was not a good thing, and the smile on the corner of her mouth slowly disappeared, and asked, "What is the matter?" ”

"It said" Jin Lu showed a hesitant look on his face, and said Ai Ai: "It said that Mrs. Ning Xin overheard Mrs. Zhenhua complaining to the emperor, saying that it was said that the master had palace sand on his arm, or was he a virgin. said before that pregnancy and miscarriage were all crimes of deception. The emperor listened to her and would invite his master into the palace tomorrow to find out the authenticity. ”

The hand holding the sweet soup trembled, almost out of her hand, Mu Xuefu's expression changed suddenly, and a secret in her heart was revealed, as if someone had stripped her naked in public. A chill rose in her heart, slowly spreading to her whole body, and she shivered like a frozen body in winter.

How could Mrs. Zhenhua know who she was before she had a round house with Jing Rong? Who broke the story? She and Jing Rong are careful everywhere, it is impossible for anyone to know that she is fake pregnant.

Suddenly, clusters of flames ignited under her eyes, and she lifted the sleeve of her arm that had been bitten by a poisonous snake, revealing her white arm, and there was a red mark on her arm except for the bandage. Could it be that the imperial doctor saw Shougong Sand when he was treating her? And the imperial doctor was Mrs. Zhenhua's person, so he told her about it?

After the shock, his expression slowly returned to normal, and his heart was constantly thinking. Let's not say who reported it to Mrs. Zhenhua, but if Emperor Xuanwu really recruits her into the palace tomorrow to find out her identity, then not only her, but also Jingrong will be charged with bullying the monarch.

"Master." Seeing that Mu Xuefu seemed to be in deep thought, Qing Zhuo called softly.

Mu Xuefu raised her eyes and glanced at her, thought about it, waved her hand, and said, "After feeding Feng Wu, put it back, don't let people see it." Go down all of y'all, and let me think for myself. ”

The brocade curtain bead curtain, the wind is moving, the gauze tent hangs heavily, the fragrance is pervasive, the fragrance is smudged, the clouds and smoke are sprinkled, and the whole room is as silent as a deep pool of still water. Mu Xuefu leaned quietly on the pillow, her fingers kept rubbing the sand on her arm, and her long eyelashes reflected a shadow, trembling and trembling, covering the gloom in her eyes.

After a long time, she let out a long breath of turbidity, and a determined look flashed in her eyes, as if she had made a lot of determination.

"Prepare hot water for me, and I want to shower and change clothes."

Mu Xuefu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and took off her clothes one by one, looking at the charming face and graceful body in the mirror, she smiled slightly, this face, this body, is not a tool. Although it is to cope with tomorrow's physical examination, it may also eliminate Jingrong's last bit of defense against her.
