Chapter 164: The Sin of Desire (Reform)
Seeing that Mu Xuefu kept her head down, she didn't realize that Jing Rong's pace quickened, and he walked in front of her and helped her up.
"What's wrong?" Jing Rong helped Mu Xuefu up, took a closer look, and saw that there was a red slap mark on her face, her face sank instantly, and she was suddenly furious, and said sharply: "Who beat her?" ”
Since Jingrong came in, Mu Xuefu just lowered his head, and when he helped himself up, he had already burst into tears. When Jingrong asked, the grievances in her heart burst out all of a sudden, and she fell into his arms, crying pear blossoms with rain, whimpering and choking.
The previous sentence was still violent, but as soon as the little woman in her arms cried, Jingrong's attitude immediately turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and her voice instantly became soft. He half-bowed his waist and gently wiped Mu Xuefu's tears like broken threads, "Fu'er, don't cry, this king will make decisions for you when he comes back, tell this king, who beat you?" ”
Mu Xuefu sobbed and choked, her eyes were like mist, she turned her head and looked at Princess Yu timidly, and said vaguely: "It is natural for a mother-in-law to beat her daughter-in-law, but she can't stand this kind of grievance when she is wronged and the concubine is wronged." ”
Jing Rong listened to it, and a chill instantly covered his heart. His cold gaze was nailed to Princess Yu like a nail, and his voice suddenly rose a few points, containing the anger that was about to come, "Princess Yu, you should give this king an explanation." ”
Such a sound seemed to penetrate the eardrum, and everyone was terrified. The people who whispered or gloated just now were silent, for fear of being drawn by King Chen's anger.
"Confess? I think it's better for you to let your princess give you an explanation first! Princess Yu was taken aback by Jing Rong's cold momentum, and she actually had a little courage in her heart. But the long-term pride did not allow her to be a little timid, she stretched her neck, in order to increase her momentum, "You should ask your good princess what shameless things she has done!" ”
Hearing this, Jingrong wiped Mu Xuefu's tears with his hands, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Mu Xuefu raised her eyes and stared at him, and said fixedly: "Princess Yu said that the concubine was cheating with someone. Prince, the concubine is wronged, the prince treats the concubine so well, how can the concubine do something sorry for the prince? ”
Princess Yu snorted coldly, as if there was infinite cynicism overflowing from between her teeth. His eyes turned to Pan Qihao, who was kneeling on the ground and was beaten all over his body, and he smacked slightly, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of sarcasm, "The adulterer has already admitted it, what else do you have to quibble!" ”
Following Princess Yu's gaze, Jing Rong looked at Pan Qihao, and recognized at a glance that it was the guard who Mu Xuefu fell from the swing that day to save her. The hand holding Mu Xuefu loosened slightly, and there was a blue flame jumping in his eyes, and it returned to normal in an instant.
Although it was only for a moment, Mu Xuefu already felt bad, and Jing Rong must have recognized this guard. Now that I think about it, it turns out that someone has already laid it out. The rope on the swing has always been very strong, why did it suddenly break that day, and why did this Pan Qihao suddenly appear to save her, and was so coincidentally seen by Jing Rong.
The layout is really scheming, and even Jingrong's mind is thoroughly studied. Although Jing Rong dotes on her, she is suspicious by nature, and some time ago, the two of them had a cold war for so long, and he was not in the house for a while, if he listened to and believed it, he might really suspect that she had done something sorry for him.
Between the lightning and flint, Mu Xuefu had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and she only felt that if Jing Rong really didn't trust her, how much sincerity did he have for her?
Can't think about it anymore, Mu Xuefu tried her best to clear up the relationship, and hurriedly grabbed Jing Rong's hand that was about to leave her waist, and the tears in her eyes hung on her eyelashes, looking pitiful, "Lord, there is no concubine, there is really no concubine!" The concubine doesn't even know what his name is, so how can she have a personal relationship with him? The prince is the best man in the world, is the concubine blindfolded and blinded to empathize and say goodbye? The concubine's heart for the prince can be learned, she can't tolerate others, and she will never do anything to be sorry for the prince. If the concubine really betrays the prince and fornicates with others, she will curse the concubine and die a thunderstorm in the sky! ”
"What nonsense!" Jing Rong listened to her curse words and immediately reprimanded her. His face turned pale, his eyes were covered with a layer of emotion, and he once again held her in his arms, "This king naturally believes in you, and still curses himself with your oath?" Do not say such things again. ”
Princess Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, sneered, and looked at Mu Xuefu coldly: "Do you think you can prove your innocence by saying this?" If all the oaths are counted, then the judgment of officials in the world will not need to be based on evidence. ”
She shifted her gaze to Jing Rong's face, and said earnestly: "Ah Rong, I know that you have affection for the Mu family, but she is not necessarily righteous to you, who knows if she will listen to the sweet words of other men and betray you." Having said that, some time ago, the two of you had an awkward quarrel, and you haven't seen each other for a few months, and I'm afraid you'll be kept in the dark by what happened in between. ”
As soon as the words fell, Ming Wang's heart rose up, knelt down in the hall, and said to Princess Yu: "Speaking of this, the concubine has to say a word for the princess." She looked up at Jingrong and Mu Xuefu, and her envy was revealed, "When the prince was ordered to go to Jiangnan for disaster relief and peace of mind, he only took a concubine because he was afraid of the princess's frailty and fatigue. But as soon as she heard that there was a plague in Hengyang City, where the prince was located, the princess ran thousands of miles regardless of her own safety. The most important thing is that the prince was unfortunately infected with the epidemic, and the princess has been taking care of her, even if she is tired from traveling for days, she has not had a moment to rest, and even she is tired. She stroked her chest and coughed lightly, a hoarse voice in her throat, "And thanks to the princess having a miracle doctor friend, this saved the prince's life." The princess is dedicated to the princess, and the concubine is all in her eyes, if the princess has a new love, the concubine is a thousand or ten thousand, and she doesn't believe it. ”
Thinking of that time, Jing Rong's eyes became more and more affectionate, and he held Mu Xuefu's hand a little tighter, and glanced at him. He personally helped Ming Bangxin up, and said in a gentle tone: "What Bang Xin said is true." ”
Ming Wanxin's cheeks were red, like a red glow, "The concubine is also telling the truth." ”
Jing Rong withdrew his hand and said, "Listening to your voice, it seems to be hurting the wind, and now that the late autumn is cold, you have to take good care of yourself." ”
Ming Wanxin said: "Lord Xie cares, and the concubine is fine." ”
Someone on the side muttered in a low voice, "Look at how clever other people's methods are, just say a few words for the princess, and the prince will have a blue eye." ”
Someone chimed in, "Of course, how can you take advantage of the awkward quarrel between the prince and the princess, and let the prince take her to Jiangnan." Looking at the current situation, the prince trusts the princess, and she speaks for the princess, isn't it in the prince's arms. ”
Jing Rong coldly glanced at the two people who were muttering quietly. The two concubines were so timid that they hurriedly lowered their heads and said no more.
"You are here to say everything I say, and this king is also confused, what is going on?" Jing Rong's voice was a little angry.
The night was cold and sleepy, and there was only the sound of deep and shallow breathing in the silent hall, and there was still the coldness of the cold wind in the ears. Mu Xuefu stuck to Jingrong's placket, full of tears, letting the tears flow wantonly, dripping onto his body, and then smudged layer by layer, soaking into the texture of his chest.
The lights flickered, flickering on her face, and her sideburns were slightly messy, which was the trace of Princess Yu's upset when she hit her just now, along with her bun. She wore a hibiscus-colored dress embroidered with several hibiscus flowers that stretched from the back to the end. She snuggled weakly in Jingrong's arms, sobbing and choking, as if she had been greatly wronged, and could only rely on the man holding her to make the decision for her.
Seeing Jing Rong's angry tone, she raised her head, her eyelashes were full of tears, and she looked up at Jing Rong, as if she was angry, "After dinner today, the little guy next to the prince came to the concubine's courtyard, and it was rumored that the prince asked the concubine to get together in Fangfei Pavilion." The concubine thought that the prince had thought of some new tricks to coax the concubine, and when she saw that the little girl was waiting by the prince's side, she didn't think much about it, so she went directly. ”
She paused, sobbed, and pointed to Pan Qihao, who had been kneeling in the center of the hall, "But when the concubine got there, she didn't see the prince, only this guard appeared." Later, Princess Yu brought someone here, and she also held a note that said that the concubine and the guards had a tryst in Fangfei Pavilion, and Princess Yu insisted that the concubine did not abide by the woman's way, and Hongxing went out of the wall and did something sorry for the prince. But the concubine is really innocent, the concubine must have been framed, you must believe in the concubine and be the master of the concubine. ”
Jing Rong touched her face, gently wiped away her tears, and said without thinking: "This king naturally believes in you, and he will definitely make decisions for you." ”
Mu Xuefu's heart warmed, hugged his waist, and there was a very suppressed cry in his throat, "It's good that the prince trusts the concubine." ”
When Princess Yu heard this, she was angry, and Jingrong said that she trusted Mu Xuefu, doesn't that mean that someone deliberately framed Mu Xuefu? Everyone in this palace knows that she and Mu Xuefu are not compatible, and when he says this, isn't it also clear that she, the mother-in-law, looks down on her daughter-in-law, so she deliberately framed her?
She instructed the grandmother beside her to show the note to Jing Rong, "King Chen, it's better to look at the evidence I collected before you come back and make a judgment." She asked people to come in who had been kneeling in the courtyard, "You can't just listen to one person, you have to listen to what others have to say." ”
Princess Yu looked at the little eunuch kneeling on the far left and said, "Repeat what I just asked you to your master." ”
"Yes." The little eunuch lowered his eyebrows and bowed to Jing Rong, "Just now, Princess Yu asked the slave if she had sent a message to the princess that the princess had asked the princess to gather in Fangfei Pavilion," he raised his head, glanced at Mu Xuefu, bowed his head again, and said: "The slave has been to the East Courtyard, and that's because the princess specially sent a message back to say that there was something to do, so that the princess didn't have to wait for you to eat and go to bed." But the slave only spread the word, and there was no word that the prince had made an appointment in Fangfei Pavilion. ”
