008, chess pieces

Mu Wanqing was woken up by a low sob.

It was already dark, but there was only one candle lit in the room, and the candle flame was flickering, and she opened her eyes for a long time before she could see that it was Zhining sitting at the head of the bed.

"Miss, you're finally awake." Zhi Ning hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face.

Mu Wanqing wanted to start talking, but her cheeks were so red and swollen that she felt pain when she moved, and she lay on the bed, feeling that her buttocks hurt to death. She had to stretch out her hand and point to the teacup on the table, and Zhining understood, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Mu Wanqing to drink.

"How did I get back?" Mu Wanqing put her hand on her forehead, not letting her face lean on the pillow, it seems that she is very unlucky this day, she can't help but be slapped in the face, and even her butt is opened. She fainted after not being able to get more than ten boards, and she didn't know how she came back.

"It was Chu Qing's guards who sent the young lady back." Zhi Ning replied.

Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, only then did she remember that when she was hit by the board, Chu Qing came, she clenched her teeth, let the board fall, she tried her best not to let herself snort, at that time, as long as she promised Chu Qing, then she would not suffer from flesh and skin, but when she thought of Huo Chen's hateful face, why should she be at his mercy!

Zhi Ning washed a towel and gently wiped her face, her voice was irrepressibly sad: "The prince refuses to ask for a doctor or administer medicine, what should I do about Miss's injury?" After that, he looked at Mu Wanqing's ass again, although she had changed her clothes, there was still blood oozing, like red plums.

"He won't just forget it." Mu Wanqing was already dead.

"But...... Otherwise, Zhining secretly took some medicine back, if the wound became inflamed, it would be troublesome. ”

Mu Wanqing glanced at Zhi Ning and reproached: "You have tried once and are you not afraid of death?" You also believe what Mu Yirou said, she is in collusion with Yingji at all. ”

Hearing Mu Wanqing's reproach, Zhi Ning's eyes turned red again, and she bowed her head and said nothing.

"Don't cry, what's the use of crying now, just don't do it again in the future." Mu Wanqing said softly, "Do you know what kind of person Huo Chen is?" ”

Zhi Ning was stunned for a moment, but thought that after Mu Wanqing hit the wall and woke up, she didn't remember many things, so she said: "The prince is the emperor's second son, and his mother is Concubine Yao De, but after Concubine Yao died two years ago, the prince was sent to the fiefdom, and he returned to the capital the year before last. Zhi Ning was saying, suddenly remembered something, felt very strange, and said: "Originally, Miss had a marriage contract with King Yan, but somehow, the emperor actually gave Miss to the prince as a concubine, and the third miss was a side concubine, and the lord did not agree at that time, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, so he had to endure the pain and let Miss marry, who knows......"

Speaking of this, Zhi Ning glanced at Mu Wanqing, and saw that she was slightly distracted, so she breathed a sigh of relief, so she was afraid that Miss would be unhappy because of that incident.

Hearing Zhi Ning say this, she was snatched by Huo Chen from King Yan, Mu Wanqing thought about it, and then asked, "King Yan is the eldest son?" ”

Zhi Ning nodded: "Today's queen mother is the biological sister of the master, and King Yan and Miss Yan are still cousins, Miss often entered the palace to play with King Yan at that time." ”

In this way, is it possible to divide the forces in the court into two factions, one side is Huo Chen, and the other side is King Yan, and King Yan is the eldest son, and he has the support of the prime minister, and his power is huge. Mu Wanqing couldn't help sneering in her heart, I see, if King Yan and herself get married, then the prime minister and King Yan will really be a gang, Huo Chen wants to marry her and Mu Yirou, which just breaks this situation. It seems that Huo Chen has been planning quite hard how to snatch the position of the prince, as for herself......

"It's just a chess piece......" Mu Wanqing muttered.

The candlelight was dim, and even the silhouette of a person could not be seen clearly.

Zhi Ning was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Mu Wanqing was saying: "Miss? ”

Mu Wanqing was silent, and what Chu Qing said to her today still echoed in her ears: "The prince said that as long as the lady steals the prime minister's talisman, the lady will be exempt from the cane, and in the palace in the future, it will never be the same as today." ”

At that time, she didn't understand what was going on, but now that she understands the situation in the imperial court, it turns out that Huo Chen only treats her as a pawn.

First tortured, and then threw a rope, but as everyone knows, it is an abyss.

She's not stupid enough to be that kind of thing.

But what did Huo Chen say that she owed him a life?

Suddenly, there was a sound in the courtyard, and Mu Wanqing and Zhi Ning looked at each other, which was not like the sound of opening the courtyard door.

But then a person pushed the door in, and Zhi Ning immediately stood up and shouted in surprise: "Big young master?!" ”

Mu Wanqing also followed the prestige, there was a man standing at the door, between her eyebrows and eyes, she was a little similar to herself, and when she woke up, she also said that in addition to the half-sister of Mu Yirou, there is also a biological brother.

When Mu Zhixu saw Mu Wanqing lying on the bed, her cheeks were so red and swollen that she could barely recognize her, but her eyes were still bright. Thinking of Mu Wanqing suffering so much, his heart suddenly ached, and he walked quickly to the bed, his sword eyebrows furrowed: "Then Huo Chen actually dares to do this to you!" ”

"Young master, it's all because Zhining is not good, and she didn't protect Miss Hao." Zhi Ning's eyes turned red again as she spoke, "But why are you here, young master?" ”

"Today on the street, I heard two palace maids biting the root of their ears, I knew that Qing'er was wronged in the palace, last time Qing'er hit the wall and committed suicide, but he didn't let me visit, this time he waited until late at night to sneak in." Mu Gongxu touched her cheek as he spoke, but when he saw her shrink back in pain, he was even more heartbroken.

Zhi Ning knew that Mu Wanqing couldn't recognize anyone after hitting the wall, so she pulled Mu Wanqing's sleeve and explained, "Miss, this is the eldest young master, who is from the same mother as you." ”

Mu Zhixu naturally heard about Mu Wanqing's amnesia, but he just sighed that his sister's fate was bumpy, so he took out a small iron box and carved this exquisite pattern, but as soon as he opened it, it was fragrant.

"My brother came with medicine, you don't like stinky things, my brother specially found this fragrant ointment." Mu Zhixu's voice was soft, "Is it okay to let my brother give you medicine on your face?" ”

Mu Wanqing's nose was sour, but she couldn't speak, she was wronged so much today, in addition to Zhining, there was also this "unfamiliar" brother who cared about herself, she had tears in her eyes, and nodded hurriedly.

The moonlight was as cold as frost, and only a vague and misty silhouette remained.

Applying the fragrant ointment, the pain in the cheeks was immediately relieved, and there was a slight cooling feeling.

Seeing that the redness and swelling on Mu Wanqing's face suddenly subsided a lot, Mu Gongxu relaxed the tense nerves, and then applied it to her left hand, then covered the box, and ordered: "This plaster is applied three times a day, and the swelling will be reduced soon." As for the wound on your buttocks, you can also apply this medicine, but the effect will not be as fast. ”
