Xu Shou came out of Hanyuan Palace, his footsteps did not stop at all, and he "pedaled" down the steps.

When Mu Shulin saw him come out, he no longer paid attention to Yong'an and stepped forward.

couldn't bear it, and hurriedly helped up Xu Shou, who was facing him, and asked eagerly, "How?" Can Benhou meet the emperor? ”

Xu Shou glanced at the eldest princess of Yong'an, and shook his head at Mu Shulin, "The emperor is busy at this moment, and he doesn't have time to see the marquis." However, the emperor said that if it is for the sake of Princess Chen, please ask the Hou Ye to find King Chen. ”

"Looking for King Chen?" Mu Shulin almost forgot about Jingrong, yes, he is Fu'er's husband, why didn't Fu'er see him if something happened? He was already impatient, turned around and was about to leave, just a few steps away, just happened to meet Jing Rong.

Seeing that Jing Rong was not in a hurry or panic, Mu Shulin was angry in his heart, strode forward, grabbed Jing Rong's collar, and said angrily: "How did you do your husband?" Do you just let Fu'er go to captivity? ”

"Don't worry, Fu'er will be released soon." Jing Rong understood his mood, gently broke his hand, and straightened his collar. He has a noble temperament, and his every move is noble, and he even tidies up his clothes very calmly. He held a box in his hand, his fingers clasped on the edge of the box, and Qing Yue's voice was pure and unwavering, "Nothing is more important than her, including my life." ”

His words are quiet and moving. Mu Shulin raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice, "The emperor will let Fu'er go and not ask her about her crimes?" ”

Jing Rong patted him on the shoulder with one hand, changed his words, and said, "I will leave the dynasty with Fu'er later, and so will you, leave as soon as possible, he already knows the identities of you and Fu'er." ”

When he was about to leave Hanyuan Hall last night, Emperor Xuanwu was afraid that he would change, so he blackmailed Jingrong in the same way as Mu Xuefu.

Although he didn't say who it was, Mu Shulin knew who "he" was.

"Know who I and Fu'er are?" Mu Shulin's eyes were full of shock, and he said in surprise: "Then why did he let me go?" ”

Jing Rong shook his head and didn't know, "You go back." Passing him, Jing Rong walked towards Hanyuan Palace, and when he passed by Xu Shou, he only heard him say in a suppressed voice: "For the safety of himself and the princess, the prince should leave as soon as possible, and be more careful." His eyes drifted to Mu Shulin, "The same is true for the Marquis of Xiangyang." ”

Jing Rong's heart was awe-inspiring, and he arched his hand at him, "Gonggong Xie reminds him of advice." ”

He understood what Xu Shou meant, even if he did what Emperor Xuanwu asked, Emperor Xuanwu would still not let them go. However, Xu Shou's kind reminder surprised him, he was the person who had served Emperor Xuanwu for many years, and it was not an exaggeration to call him the closest person, and he was usually the most trusted person of Emperor Xuanwu. Today, he was able to report to himself behind Emperor Xuanwu's back, which made him a little incomprehensible. It's just that this kindness is in his heart.

Emperor Xuanwu didn't expect Jing Rong to come so quickly, seeing that he was holding the box in his hand, the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly rose.

He couldn't help but sigh: "My Jing clan actually has such a love seed as you, I originally planned to give you three days to think about it, but you only came after one night." He opened the box that Jing Rong gave him, and inside was a talisman, and his swollen palm rubbed against it, "Where is the edict?" ”

Jing Rong said: "The edict is not by my side, and I will naturally give it to you when I return to Beijing, along with my resignation." ”

Emperor Xuanwu groaned slightly, and said for a while: "Okay, I'm not afraid of you playing tricks, anyway, I'll return to Beijing next month, I still have this patience." ”

Now that he has obtained the talisman, Jing Rong is like a tiger with broken wings, or even a trapped beast that is powerless to struggle, unable to escape from the palm of his hand.

"You can release my wife now, right?" Jing Rong said coldly.

Emperor Xuanwu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "I have a word." He gave a look to a guard beside him, "Take King Chen to Xiao Linyuan to pick up Princess Chen." ”

has torn his face, the appearance of his uncle and nephew in the past has long been gone, and now he is facing only the two sides of the transaction. Jing Rong didn't need to pretend to be respectful to him as before, and he didn't even salute, so he followed the guard in the direction of Xiao Linyuan.

The dilapidated room was like a steamer, and there was not a little cool breeze coming in, but at this time, Mu Xuefu was not as intolerant of heat as usual.

may be in response to Jingrong's sentence "the heart is calm and naturally cool".

I didn't sleep all night, but I didn't feel sleepy. Mu Xuefu sat under the shady tree in the courtyard, looking up at the sky in all directions.

The women around her were no longer as curious and attentive to her as they were last night, and were busy doing their own things.

They either sit quietly in a daze, or lie in a ventilated place to cool off, or chase and laugh all over the yard.

Mu Xuefu's eyes rolled, and two women in the corner diagonally opposite each other, one lying in her arms holding something similar to a pillow, kept patting, and her mouth was still chattering, as if she was singing a song about her mother coaxing her child to sleep in a trance.

The other sat on a haystack and pointed at his eyebrows with a blackened charcoal fire. She didn't have a mirror, so she drew indiscriminately, and her eyebrows and tails were painted on her temples, making people not look like people and ghosts.

She didn't know it, and laughed happily humming a little song.

Mu Xuefu recognized her as the woman with white powder on her face last night.

When she felt that she had finished drawing, she turned to the lying woman and asked, "Do you think my painting is beautiful?" Without waiting for the man to answer, she muttered to herself, "The emperor said that my eyebrows are good-looking, so he gave me all the snails of that year and asked me to show him my thrush." She recalled stupidly, completely forgetting that she was already in the cold palace, and laughed happily, her eyes shining brightly, "When I finish drawing my eyebrows, the emperor will favor me, and he will come to favor me." ”

The woman who was pushed by her was very impatient, and kicked the woman with her dirty foot, and said in disgust: "I know the thrush every day, and it is an ugly look to paint it again, so the emperor will not want you." ”

As soon as she turned her face, her disgusted face changed before, and she kissed the dirty shiny pillow in her hand, "This palace is different, there are emperor's children in this palace, and the emperor has to come to see the eighth prince every day." ”

After speaking, she kicked the thrush woman again, "The emperor goes to sleep in the palace, how can I have time to go to your fox, don't think that you can seduce the emperor by showing off your waist." ”

The thrush woman was angry, dropped her carbon head and rode on her, raised her hand, threw her pillow out, and said with relief: "Old woman, do you think that you can tie the emperor's heart if you have a child?" I'll throw your child away now, and see how you keep the emperor!" ”

"Ahh You give back my child, you give back my child. The woman who was lying down went mad and struck at the woman who was pressing on her, and rolled over and crushed the woman under her. Her eyes were scarlet and cracked, like an enemy, and she pinched the thrush woman's neck fiercely, "You killed my child, I will kill you." ”

The two of them fought together, but no one cared, and they didn't even bother to look at it, as if it had become commonplace.

I don't know who lazily shouted "Auntie is here", and the two people who were twisted together immediately let go of each other, and then curled up to the side as if nothing had happened, as if the drama just now was fake.

The woman with the thrush picked up a decaying red flower leaf and smeared it on her lips, drawing it like a bloody mouth.

The other picked up the pillow that had been thrown away and lay it back down, undressing her to reveal her shriveled and sweaty breasts, in a position similar to that of a mother feeding her child.

Such a scene would make anyone feel disgusting, but Mu Xuefu felt that they were extremely pitiful.

From their words, I learned that they should have been favorite concubines before, especially the one holding the pillow, if the guess is right, it should be the biological mother of the eighth prince who died early.

"Do you know why they came in?" A voice and wind blew into Muscheve's ears, and she turned her head to look.

The man was dressed in a brown coat, clean, with neat hair, and although it was not powdered and wrinkled from improper maintenance, it was also evident from her facial features that she had a picturesque look in her youth.

She is very different, different from all the women in Xiao Linyuan, and even out of place here.

Mu Xuefu's eyebrows swelled slightly, and she didn't care, and said: "It's nothing more than harming people or being killed, otherwise it will annoy the emperor." ”

The woman took a small bench, sat down next to Mu Xuefu, looked at the two people, and said gently: "The woman with makeup came five years ago, and I heard that she was very favored before. But then her mother's family was guilty, and it affected her. The emperor ignored the feelings of the past, and even she was imprisoned in this Xiao Linyuan. ”

Her voice was as murmuring as the wind, slowly, as if out of the world.

She pointed to another woman and said slowly, "This is Concubine Jing, the biological mother of the Eighth Prince." Originally, the mother was more precious than the child, and her future was bright. However, the eighth prince was frightened during pregnancy and died a few months after birth. And she went crazy because the child died and couldn't accept it for a while. Every day the palace was crying looking for a child, and slandering everywhere that it was Concubine Wen Guifei, and the emperor did not get tired of it, so he abandoned her here. ”

Musheph had heard about her, and when she was seven months pregnant, someone was playing tricks in her palace, and she was so frightened that she couldn't sleep day and night.

At that time, some people said that Concubine Wen was jealous of her being favored and pregnant, so she asked people to pretend to be ghosts to scare her. It's just that there is no evidence, so the matter is closed.

Later, she gave birth to the eighth prince, which was a happy thing, but the baby was affected by the conception and was weak, and although she was carefully raised, she still died a few months later.

Concubine Jing suspected that Concubine Wen Guifei had poisoned her child after pretending to be a ghost and had failed to do so, so she went to the emperor all day long to accuse Concubine Wen and complained to the emperor.

But the cause of the death of the eighth prince is indeed not man-made, once or twice the emperor fooled her because she was too sad about the loss of her son and talked nonsense, but many times, the emperor thought that she was complaining about herself and slandered Concubine Wen. Coupled with Concubine Wen provoking from the side, the emperor finally couldn't bear his anger and sent her into the cold palace.

Mu Xuefu couldn't help but sigh and said: "Since ancient times, kings have been lucky, and they are the most ruthless emperors. ”

"Yes, the emperor is the most ruthless."

Mu Xuefu looked at the woman next to her and asked, "Then who are you?" ”

"Me? Oh, like them, the people who were sent to hell because of the ruthlessness of the emperor. ”
