Chapter 187: Awkward Couple
The night gradually faded down, like a layer of splashed ink on the horizon, more like a monster with its claws dancing to swallow the light of the sky. Walking all the way back, the doubts in my heart are thicker and thicker than the splashes of ink in the night sky. If she hadn't overheard an unusual glance between Emperor Xuanwu and Princess Yu, she wouldn't have followed and overheard this shocking secret.
I thought it was just a competition between the four princes, but I didn't expect that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and what Emperor Xuanwu really wanted to support was Jing Xuan. No wonder Jing Xuan is now thriving in the court, and he has a tendency to fight with the four princes.
The sheepskin boots trampled on the snow, making a "creaking" sound, Mu Xuefu lowered her head and was thinking, suddenly her arm hurt, with the smell of wine, "Where have you been?" β
Mu Xuefu went out of the hall alone, and Jing Rong originally wanted to follow. But he felt that if he went out with him, he thought he cared about her. But after a long time, she didn't come back for a long time, afraid that she would be bullied again or have an accident, so she was anxious, so she ran out to look for it.
Mu Xuefu saw that it was him, brushed off his hand, took two steps back, and said detachedly: "The rose is drunk and sweet, but the stamina is very great, and the concubine has drunk a few more glasses before she gets up, so she comes out for a walk, so she can sober up." β
Looking at the hands that were brushed away, Jing Rong's heart was like a volcanic magma about to erupt, constantly surging. Goodbye Mu Xuefu's alienated state is even more angry. After a long silence, all of Jing Rong's anger turned into a long sigh, "Let's go." After saying that, he looked deeply at her and walked away.
His gaze stretched from the white snow to his back, and Mu Xuefu stopped in place. There was a rustling wind blowing in my ears, and I couldn't help but shiver. After a long time, she finally took a step towards the Changle Hall with the snow flakes swept by her cloak.
After the night banquet and out of the palace, Mu Xuefu followed behind Jing Rong. Although Jingrong hugged Ming Wanxin from beginning to end and looked very intimate, she was still able to turn a blind eye and only set her eyes on the endless dark sky.
Before getting into the carriage, she suddenly stopped and did not follow Jingrong to get into the car. Instead, Mu Yurong, who was with her, said: "Didn't you say that my father's birthday is coming, let me go to your house tonight to discuss with you how to celebrate his birthday?" β
Mu Yurong was slightly stunned, her eyes quickly passed over Jingrong's face, and she pulled a smile, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot it when I finished talking to you." He said to Jing Rong again: "I wonder if King Chen can let him go?" β
Like a fish in his throat, Jing Rong's face was so dark that he almost couldn't hold back, and he smiled far-fetchedly, "It's okay." β
Jing Rong let out a deep breath from his nose, barely allowing himself to get angry. He wanted to take Mu Xuefu back to King Chen's Mansion directly, so as not to make irresponsible remarks from outsiders, so as not to worry about himself, but she didn't know what to do, and she didn't even get into the car.
It's really a heart that has been eaten by wolves.
After getting into the carriage, Jing Rong remained silent, clenching his palms fiercely, exuding cold air all over his body.
Ming Bangxin sat beside him, and could clearly feel the chill on his body, and finally couldn't hold it back, and said softly: "If the prince thinks about the princess, it is better to go to the Rui Wangfu to bring the princess back." β
"Shut up the king! When will it be your turn to speak in the affairs of this king! There was a bright light and shadow in Jing Rong's eyes, and his voice was fierce, "This king is just angry with you, do you think this king really spoils you?" β
Obviously, Jing Rong was venting Mu Xuefu's anger to Ming Bangxin, but she was not annoyed, she just smiled faintly, bowed her head and said, "The concubine is speechless." β
vented out in one breath, Jing Rong's heart was also smoothed, he looked at Ming Wanxin, and patted her hand, "Don't go to your heart." β
Ming Bangxin gently pressed Jing Rong's hand, smiled gently, and his eyes wavered, "As long as the prince is smooth, what if the concubine is disciplined." β
Jing Rong bowed his head and muttered, "If only her temperament was half as docile as yours." β
Ming Wanxin lowered his head and whispered, "But even if the concubine is docile, the princess still likes the princess." Lord Wang, since you really like it, why should you alienate her, that will only make her farther and farther away from you. The concubine can see that the princess has the prince in her heart, and she will wait for you again. β
A glimmer of hope ignited in Jing Rong's eyes, he looked at Ming Wang's heart, and said expectantly: "Really? It's just that in an instant, her bright eyes as bright as glass dimmed again, "But why did she prefer to go to King Rui's Mansion just now than go back to this king's mansion?" β
Ming Bangxin smiled slightly, and that smile made her as beautiful as an elegant orchid, "The concubine thinks that the princess may be jealous." β
Jing Rong raised his eyebrows, "Jealous? Thinking of what happened in the carriage before, he smiled, "I don't care about anything else about this king, only this sour and jealous is the most concerned." β
Ming Bangxin smiled lightly as always, looking down, like a shy lotus, but there was a trace of bitterness under the low eyelashes that Jingrong did not see.
On this side, Jingrong returned to King Chen's mansion, and Mu Xuefu also returned to the new house. In fact, she didn't get into the carriage just now, on the one hand, because she didn't want to see Jing Rong and Ming Bangxin in front of her, and on the other hand, because she didn't know how to open her mouth to let Jing Rong's carriage stop in the new house.
Although there was a stove burning in the empty room, Mu Xuefu felt unusually cold, probably because the heart was cold, and all the bodies would be cold.
In the middle of the night, she couldn't sleep peacefully, rolling over and over on the bed, and even the quilt was kicked under her feet, but she still felt uncomfortable. Eventually, she got up, leaning on the corner of the bed with her hands on her chin, her bright eyes shining unusually brightly in the faintly lit room.
What she heard tonight shocked her, she never expected that Jing Xuan would be the son of Emperor Xuanwu, and she didn't expect that Jing Wanqi and Emperor Xuanwu had this kind of relationship. What's at stake? Promise? Pay? Emperor Xuanwu's promise is to support Jing Xuan as the emperor, so what did Jing Wanqi pay for him?
The cutting is still messy, what is the hidden story behind this?
Why didn't Emperor Xuanwu marry Jing Wanqi in the first place, and also recorded his son in the name of King Yu. In this way, even if he has the heart to let Jing Xuan inherit the throne, it is unreasonable. He has so many sons, no matter how many sons it is, it will never be his brother's turn to sit on the throne. UnlessΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Unless none of these princes are eligible to inherit the throne.
Mu Xuefu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and an astonishing conjecture formed in her mind, Emperor Xuanwu would not even care about the life and death of his other sons for the sake of Jing Xuan. Tiger poison doesn't eat children!
But Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· However, Jing Rong's ambition is also in that position, so isn't he more dangerous?
Should he be told about this to make him take precautions?
No, let's not tell him yet, if he is impulsive and hurts Jing Wanqi's mother and son, then Emperor Xuanwu will definitely not be able to tolerate him.
Mu Xuefu sat on the bed from dark to dawn, her heart was chaotic like autumn leaves falling layer by layer, her heart was like numbness, until a white belly rose in the sky, she slowly fell asleep.
"Xiao Li, what do you say this king should do, do you really want her to come back? However, it was this king who asked her to get out of King Chen's mansion, and now she is begging again, where will this king's face go? On this day, Xiao Li went to King Chen's mansion as a guest, and the two of them talked about Mu Xuefu from Mu Zhaolin, Jing Rong thought that Xiao Li usually knew women best, so he took the scriptures from him, "This king has already given her a chance, but this woman is really a headache, and she doesn't accept this king's love at all." β
"You are the one who drove people away, and now you are the one who wants people to come back, do you want to call them to come and go immediately? Don't say it's her, if I were a woman, I wouldn't pay attention to you. Xiao Li pursed his lips disdainfully and said.
Jing Rong glared at him, "Is it just the king's fault?" What she said at that time hurt this king, and this king's anger has not disappeared yet! β
Xiao Li calmly accepted the cruel slap he flew into, hugged his fists and said, "Then you can continue to be angry, I'll see when she can come back by herself." β
Jing Rong wilted, picked up the book on the table and hit it, "Didn't I discuss it with you, you have so many confidants, you naturally know women better, give me a way to see how to get her back." The husband and wife live separately, and outsiders laugh at each other when they hear it, she doesn't care what others say, what do I care about. β
Xiao Li raised his hand to catch the book and threw it back on the table. He looked at Jing Rong and shook his head helplessly, and said, "You, you can't put it down." This woman doesn't rely on coaxing, if she doesn't work, she will be stalked, and there is nothing that she can't attack. β
"Let this king coax her? Still stalking? Jing Rong's eyes widened, but Xiao Li shrugged at him, he sighed and muttered: "Then I want her to go back to the house first, I can't see her, how can I coax her?" β
Xiao Li frowned and looked at this brother who was a little childish but fell in love, and smacked his lips, "Won't you go to her if she doesn't come back?" Men, you should take the initiative, otherwise if you continue like this, I don't think you will be far from He. β
Jing Rong's narrow fox-like eyes raised slightly, "Heli? If she wants to reconcile, this king has divorced her, and she doesn't want to reconcile with this king. β
"Why do I think you're getting more and more childish?" Xiao Li straightened up, "I can tell you, if you take a break from Mu Xuefu, there will be someone waiting in the back." β
Jing Rong looked awe-inspired, raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?" β
Xiao Li only blamed himself for his quick mouth, glanced at Jingrong, lowered his head and rubbed the jade pendant on his waist, "You also know what occasions I often hang out, everyone there is there, and I dare to say anything." The disagreement between you and Mu Xuefu is known in the streets of the capital, and rumors about you will divorce her are also crowded. You also know how attractive Mu Xuefu is to men, and many people are looking forward to you divorcing her so that she can marry her as a concubine back home. The family is beautiful and young, and she is the young lady of the Zuo Xiang family, although she has been married, there are still people who rush to be a concubine. β
"When did the king say he was going to divorce her?" Jing Rong's eyes widened, looking like he was going to eat people, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If this king can't get her heart, he won't cheapen others, if he lets this king see her with others, what is the difference between this king and a cuckold on his head, it is better to insert a knife into this king's heart at that time." β
Xiao Li hurriedly waved his hand, "It's not that I want to marry her, what are you angry at me?" Didn't you just say that you were going to divorce someone? β
"That's the assumption of this king!" Jing Rong rolled his eyes at him, groaned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Who covets the woman of this king?" β
