Chapter 142: Cold War between Husband and Wife
"Prince" watched the back of Princess Sanssouci leaving, and it was not until she disappeared that Mu Xuefu raised her eyes to stare at the scene, "Prince, I"
She was a little flustered, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.
"I didn't expect that the princess of this king is not only scheming, but also ruthless. In order to frame others, even going to the hands of oneself is really impressive. Jing Rong's hand slowly slipped off her shoulder, his eyes were full of mockery, and he looked at Mu Xuefu with a sneer, "No wonder I heard people say that women can't be messed with, it's really ruthless, and even this king is ashamed of himself." ”
Mu Xuefu grabbed Jingrong's arm and eagerly wanted to explain, "Lord Wang, listen to me." I chose to do that because I was cornered that day, and I didn't mean to deceive you. She is a princess, a lady of the sky, I am just the daughter of a minister, even if I am Princess Chen, but what is it in front of the princess? If I don't strike first, who will believe me when I fall? ”
"Bitter meat tricks, huh? You acted so well, even this king was deceived by you. Jing Rong's chest was full of anger, his eyes were covered with a layer of daunting coldness, he pushed Mu Xuefu away with one hand, and said with a smile: "You want to tell this king that this king, the king of Chen, is useless and has no way to protect you, so you will stage such a good show in order to seek self-protection." Mu Xuefu, you are so powerful, you not only deceived this king, but you also deceived everyone. Everyone thinks you're a victim, and no one believes in worry-free, you're so good at acting. You have vividly interpreted the image of a victim, and even the king can't see any flaws. And the most important thing is that this king didn't see that you usually look soft and weak, but you even dare to kill people. ”
This was the first time Jing Rong pushed her hand away, and this push made Mu Xuefu suddenly feel that the two of them were back to square one, and even, farther and farther away. Her heart was empty, as if the geese had lost their nests when they returned home, and they didn't even have a place to stay.
But what she was most afraid of was that Jing Rong would think that what Princess Sanssouci said that day was the truth, so as long as Jing Rong thought about it carefully, her future situation would be difficult.
"Lord Wang, you have to believe me, the truth is not what you said just now. She had just provoked me to provoke me into saying something like that. I hurt myself, but I didn't set fire to her, and I didn't try to kill her. I was afraid that she would bite me back, so I hurt myself. ”
"This king really can't understand you more and more, and I don't know which words you say are true and which ones are false, and I don't know if you have been acting against this king for so long."
Jing Rong looked at Mu Xuefu deeply, but found that he had never really understood her. His heart really hurt, as if he had been pinched and rubbed in the palm of his hand.
He couldn't see her clearly, it was like there was always a thin veil between the two of them. It was he, self-righteously turning a blind eye to this layer of veil fog, but he didn't expect to find out today that the layer of tulle had become thicker and thicker, so thick that he couldn't see her true face.
A sentence hit Mu Xuefu's life, and it exploded in her heart. As if struck by lightning, Mu Xuefu looked at the scene in astonishment, as if time stopped at this moment, and the flowers that she only heard bloomed and fell.
What Jing Rong said is not wrong at all, she has been lying, she has been acting, and she has been cheating.
"You are such a scheming woman who stays by the king's side, which makes the king shudder. I'm glad you didn't use your tricks against him, otherwise he wouldn't have known how many times he would have died. ”
"Heh, maybe you've used it, but this king is unconsciously trapped in it and doesn't know it."
"You really deserve to be Mu Zhaolin's daughter, just as scheming, insidious and cunning as him."
As if someone had torn it open, the heart was torn apart, and an inexplicable pain came out of the limbs and struck all over the body. If he was so cold that there was no trace of temperature, it was like throwing her directly into the ice pool in the wax moon, and the cold was surging from the bottom of his heart.
"You humiliated me so much for Jing Wan?" Mu Xuefu clenched her palms tightly, and her nails were clamped into the flesh, oozing red marks. There was a faint fierceness in his voice, and he asked.
"Do you think this king will care about Jingwan? This king is because of your deception! Jing Rong snorted, he clasped Mu Xuefu's shoulder, gritted his teeth and said, "Mu Xuefu, this king loves you so much, and he is obedient to you." And where are you? ”
Speechless, Jing Rong silently lowered his hand, and the light emanating from his deep gaze dimmed little by little. He shook his head slightly, smiled, and turned around, leaving only a lonely back.
Mu Xuefu looked at the figure that was getting farther and farther away from her, and with every step, her heart felt like someone had hit her hard.
She understands that for an arrogant person like Jingrong, she is not allowed to be deceived. At that moment, she could even foresee that one day he knew that everything she had was a lie, and he would never forgive her.
"See the princess Niangniang, our virtuous concubine Niangniang said that if you find someone else to do this kind of thing, it is really insincere, or it is better to behave yourself. So this time, Princess Lao ran this trip, this is a reward from the virtuous concubine to the princess, I hope you will accept it with a smile. ”
As soon as Jing Rong's figure disappeared, the palace people who had just entered the hall to report came out. She respectfully saluted Mu Xuefu, relayed to her what Concubine Xian said, and brought the reward given by Concubine Xian to Mu Xuefu.
From the moment Jing Rong appeared, Mu Xuefu knew that she had fallen into a trap, and Concubine Xian and Jing Wan jointly set a trap for her.
Mu Xuefu smiled lightly, let Zi Yao take the reward, and looked at the palace people with a smile, "The heart of the virtuous concubine is not only the queen mother, but also the princess. This reward is accepted by the princess, and if the mother has any place to use it in the future, the princess will definitely be willing to serve the dogs and horses. ”
The scenery by the Taiye Pond is picturesque, the green willows are soft and long, and the strange flowers are blooming, even in this rainy season, they still stretch the branches and leaves and flowers, and want to make the most beautiful color in the palace.
Mu Xuefu was walking on the way out of the palace, and when she passed by the Taiye Pool, she suddenly stopped slowly. glanced back at the box that Zi Yao was holding. The light in his eyes grew cold, covered with a layer of crushed ice. With a wave of his hand, he threw the box into the pool next to him with one palm.
There was a loud "bang". The water rippled, dissipating in a circle, and then slowly returning to calm.
"Jing Wan, you wait for me!"
Since that day, Jing Rong has never set foot in the East Courtyard again, and no one knows why, but everyone said that Princess Chen had fallen out of favor.
The rain continued from late spring to the summer solstice, as if the Milky Way had collapsed and flooded.
Although the rain in the past few days has dissipated the scorching heat brought by the summer of previous years, the sticky and damp smell in the air makes it difficult to refresh people's mood.
Mu Xuefu sat at the piano table and looked at the plantain outside the room. The rain hit the plantain leaves, drop by drop, dripping, as if washing away all the dust, and a layer of light floated on the green leaves, reflecting a faint dark light.
The fingers slid on the piano, and the long rhythm flowed like a gurgling river.
Who planted a banana tree in front of the window, and the shade filled the atrium. The yin is full of atrium, and Ye Ye's heart is full of giving. Sad pillow on the three more rain, dripping rain. A little bit of rain, sad northerners, not used to listening.
The tune is only a few words, and it is already unlucky, this word ugly slave banana was written by Li Qingzhao after the death of his deceased husband, borrowing the scenery depiction of the night rain banana to express his feelings of missing his deceased husband. Wouldn't it be a curse for her to play such a tune?
As soon as the hand is closed, the tune suddenly stops, leaving only the lingering sound. She exhaled softly and got up to close the window.
"Master, the prince hasn't been here for more than a month." Qing Zhuo poured a cup of tea for Mu Xuefu, and stopped talking several times, but finally couldn't help but say, "The way this husband and wife get along is honest, and the prince is naturally very angry when he knows that the master deceived him." But a few of us saw it in our eyes, the prince was sincere to his master, and he didn't come for so long, maybe it wasn't because he was angry, or because he couldn't pull his face. The master might as well be soft and go to the main courtyard to make amends, maybe the prince will not be angry. ”
Mu Xuefu took the tea, glanced at her coldly, took a sip of tea, and said, "Do you want me to beg him?" It's better if I don't come, and I don't have to act in front of him every day. He looked tired and I was even more tired. Without waiting for Qing Zhuo to say more, he continued: "In the past, when King Rong commanded the Praetorian Guard, I still took care of it, but now that the Praetorian Guard is no longer under the control of King Rong, it is time to make something happen." As for King Chen, as long as he doesn't get in the way of my business, what if he doesn't get along with each other when he dies? ”
Qing Zhuo frowned helplessly, looked sideways at Bai Yi, who was shaking his head at her, pursed his lips, changed his words, and said, "It's really unexpected that this emperor actually handed over the command of the Praetorian Guard to King Xuan." It stands to reason that he should not be handed over to King Xuan, once King Xuan and the prince have the intention of rebelling and join forces, then he will lead the wolf into the house. ”
Mu Xuefu stroked her forehead and said, "I can't think through this problem either, as an emperor, he can see this kind of thing more clearly than anyone else, and he shouldn't make such a rash arrangement as usual." If I were the Emperor, the Janissaries would be given to someone I trusted, if not to the Prince. And King Xuan, just a fledgling boy, how can he have such great ability and ability to gain his trust? ”
She gradually raised her head, her fingers kept rubbing her chin, and her pupils shrunk, "Or is he just fancy that Jing Xuan is a fledgling, he doesn't understand anything, and it is easy to control, so how will he arrange it?" Or have they privately reached some kind of ulterior agreement? Emperor Xuanwu is the best at power, otherwise he would not easily let an outsider take over the Praetorian Guards surrounding the palace. ”
