428. Chop the grass and eradicate the roots
Remember [Sogou] in one second, and read it at any time.
"Since someone is flattering, if I resolutely refuse to accept it, it will only make her make some small gestures." Mu Wanqing said lightly.
Today's incident is connected with the events of the previous days, and she also understands it.
Concubine Xu did this today, I am afraid it will be difficult to stay out of it in the future.
Mu Wanqing raised her head and looked at the snow scene outside, and her heart couldn't calm down for a moment, but she begged that nothing happened.
Although Mu Wanqing's heart has always been worried, but after a few days, nothing has happened, and she is also relieved, if she keeps being calm and waiting for Huo Chen to return, it will be a good thing.
The night was deep, the cold wind was blowing violently outside the window, and Mu Wanqing had just fallen asleep, but she was haunted by nightmares.
The dream was full of smoke, and she kept walking, only the sound of her own footsteps echoed in her ears, and she frowned, trying to get out of here, but she couldn't get there.
Until she arrived, she saw a figure, the man's back was tall, she gave herself a sense of peace of mind when she saw it, her steps slowed down, the man slowly turned back, his side face was resolute, but then, she heard a "whoosh".
The man fell to the ground, and she opened her eyes wide to see a feathered arrow stuck in the man's body.
"Huo Chen!"
She sat up suddenly, her eyes wide open, her whole body was in a cold sweat, her mouth was bitter with thirst, and even her tongue seemed to be stuck to her teeth. She clutched her heart, and even her heart beat heavily, and she saw through the thin curtain that there was still a candle on the table.
Mu Wanqing knew in her heart that she was afraid.
The clothes were soaked with sweat and sticky to the body, but this dream ......
She suddenly had a bad premonition.
She was awakened in the middle of the night, and she couldn't sleep, so she reached out and stroked her forehead, then slowly lifted the tent, put on her shoes and socks, put on a cloak, and went to take a medical book and read it slowly in the candlelight.
Early the next morning, when the palace maid came in to serve, she saw Mu Wanqing lying on the table and falling asleep. Recently, Mu Wanqing was sleepy, and the palace maid did not dare to wake Mu Wanqing at will on weekdays, but today the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and the palace maid had to call softly: "Madam, madam, wake up ......."
Mu Wanqing frowned and turned her head, as if a bug had been buzzing in her ear.
"Wake up ......"
Her consciousness was hazy, and she only heard these two words.
After a long while, she was reluctant to open her eyes, and when she saw the anxious appearance of the palace maid, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, and realized that she had fallen asleep on the table last night. She stretched and asked the palace maid, "What's the matter?" ”
"Madame has finally woken up, the emperor summoned Madame, Madame hurry up and freshen up."
Mu Wanqing blinked, and suddenly felt weak and weak under her feet.
Although it was an audience with the saint, Mu Wanqing only combed a fallen horse bun, she was dressed plainly, and there were only a few silver hairpins in her bun.
She looked up at the sky, the weather was very good today, she took a deep breath, although she didn't know what Emperor Qi summoned her for, but she had to be calm, and she couldn't mess with herself.
Outside the Chaolong Palace, the eunuch just passed the word, and let Mu Wanqing enter the side hall, which was where Emperor Qi handled official business, Mu Wanqing looked at the bright floor, reflecting her own appearance, although it was vague, but she still felt cold.
I heard that Emperor Qi did not go to the court today, and has been staying in the side hall, Mu Wanqing's footsteps were fine, and he felt like he was stepping on a pile of cotton.
She knelt down and bowed to Emperor Qi, and was about to speak, when her eyes caught a glimpse of a person lying on the shiny floor in front of her. Her throat tightened, as if she was a little breathless, she raised her eyes slightly, and saw that the corner of the man's skirt was embroidered with begonia flowers, and her body was cold in an instant, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Is that...... Xu Concubine.
Her body was trembling, at this time, she didn't have to hide her fear, she was really scared, how could someone who had been so good a few days ago lie on the ground now?
She looked up again, Concubine Xu's eyes widened, there seemed to be a trace of unwillingness in her eyes, and there were blood stains at the corners of her mouth, Mu Wanqing stared at Concubine Xu unconsciously, and her brain was blank.
"Why, I solved the poisoner for you, and you were scared." At this time, Emperor Qi's voice sounded, making Mu Wanqing's scalp tingle.
"Your Majesty, this ......" Mu Wanqing spoke with difficulty, but found that she couldn't squeeze out half a sentence in her throat.
What does Emperor Qi mean by doing this?
"I was still thinking about how to get the best of both worlds, but I didn't expect Concubine Xu to do such a thing in order to show favor to you." Emperor Qi approached slowly, and his steps were also gentle, "I guess in your heart, you must be suspecting that I am poisoning, but do you think I will be so stupid?" ”
Mu Wanqing only dared to raise her head at this time, she stabilized her mind, indeed, Emperor Qi would not make a move easily.
"In this case, the emperor should also understand very well that if I lose a single hair, the prince will also confront the emperor." Mu Wanqing said coldly.
It is precisely because of this that Huo Chen is relieved that she will stay in the capital.
Emperor Qi glanced at Mu Wanqing, his eyes seemed to contain a touch of coldness, he was condescending, which made Mu Wanqing feel a sense of oppression, but Mu Wanqing couldn't escape half a step.
"It is precisely because of this that I have been thinking about how to solve you these days without holding a grudge against me."
Mu Wanqing's heart thumped, so what was Emperor Qi's heart planning? Just as she was thinking about it, Emperor Qi spoke again: "But I have always figured it out, you must die voluntarily, then the world can be peaceful." ”
It seemed to be a lightning strike, Mu Wanqing's body couldn't move, she knelt on the floor, her knees already felt cold.
There was a sneer on the corner of her mouth, but she was not afraid of death and said: "The emperor poisoned his father, and now Qing'er is a broken family, there is nothing to be afraid of, but she is also afraid of death like ordinary people, although it is a cruel life, but Qing'er also wants to live." ”
"I want to live." Emperor Qi muttered, "But if you live, won't the people of the world lose a Ming monarch?" I know he wants to walk the world with you, but how can you be so selfish. ”
Mu Wanqing slowly lowered her head and saw the green tendons bulging on the back of her hand, was it really because of her selfishness?
"Your Majesty, is it possible that you can't tolerate me as a woman? Now that I am the only one left in the Mu family, I have never had any other thoughts, but the emperor has always thought that I am a troublemaker, except to leave...... What else can I do? Her chest was heaving, almost breathing.
