Chapter 158: My cousin comes to the door

Xiao Li opened his mouth and bit on the apple, he was stunned for a moment when asked, his clear eyes blinked a few times, and he said: "You can talk about other things without official cooperation, I am in charge of the murder of the official, and I can't figure out some questions for a while, so I asked Ah Rong for advice." ”

Marquis Jing Yuan's lips pursed into the word "one", his eyebrows became a river, he sighed heavily from his snort, shook his head, and said in a solemn voice: "There is more to the two of you than that, right?" After a pause, he looked at Xiao Li's evasive gaze, "I know what you are planning, although I don't approve of it, I won't stop it." ”

The crisp sound of "click" came out of his mouth, Xiao Li could only hide his weakness by eating, he was happy, and barely squeezed out a smile, "What's the plan, my father thinks too much." It's just that this case may be related to the murder of King Pingjun, so I went to discuss it with Ah Rong. ”

"King Pingjun? Wasn't he killed by Lu Liangzhen, why was he involved in this incident again? ”

Speaking of which, Xiao Li put away his usual cynical appearance, and Su Se told Jing Yuanhou about the cause and effect of the whole incident and their investigation and speculation.

"Click", the brush suddenly fell onto the unfinished rice paper, and the ink was like a turbidity poured into the landscape, smudging the thin paper of the scroll. Marquis Jing Yuan was shocked, even his body trembled a little, he sat on the chair, looked at Xiao Li in disbelief, and said: "Impossible, at that time, the Zhenguo General's Mansion was surrounded by the Praetorian Guard Legion, and it was impossible to fly out of a fly, let alone a person." It's just that when you say that, I think it's a bit strange. ”

Xiao Li said: "So Ah Rong said that let me keep an eye on the people who haven't happened yet, maybe I can use this clue to find out who is behind the whole thing." ”

Jing Yuanhou didn't feel that his heart was heavy, he picked up the pen, looked at the place where the ink was stained, picked up the pen at will, and in a few clicks, the dirty ink and the scenery in the painting were integrated. When he finished coloring, he put the pen aside and whispered softly: "If you really avenge the Zhenguo General's Mansion, I don't know who it is?" ”

The corners of the gazebo blocked the sunset, covering Xiao Li's twitching cheeks. For so many years, my father has always blamed himself for not preventing the annihilation, and he was even more disheartened with the emperor and the court because his best friend was wronged, so he withdrew from the court and did not ask about political affairs. If he really caught the fish that escaped from the Zhenguo General's Mansion, what would his father do?

Shaking off the conjecture in his mind, he walked to the side of Jingyuanhou, looked at the painting, raised his eyebrows, and said casually: "Today in Ah Rong's place, Princess Chen is also painting on the side, the child has seen it, the painting is good, although it is not as deep as his father's painting, and the pen is wonderful, but it is also lifelike and vivid." ”

"Oh? Princess Chen also likes to paint? "Marquis Jingyuan is now idle at home, and he has no other hobbies except writing and painting all day long. As soon as I heard that Mu Xuefu was also a person who knew how to paint, I immediately became interested. It's just that in a blink of an eye, he changed his words, "You are talking about Princess Chen?" ”

Xiao Li said "um", disapproving, "Yes, I saw Princess Chen when I entered Ah Rong's study today." We talked about things, and she was drawing. After saying this, he shifted his gaze to Marquis Jing Yuan, saw his slightly stagnant expression, and suddenly understood what he meant, so he said: "Don't even shy away from talking to me about things, you know how much Ah Rong trusts and loves his princess now." But it's understandable to pamper her, and this time Ah Rong treated the plague in Jiangnan, thanks to her. ”

Marquis Jingyuan's expression was awe-inspiring, and there was a faint blue beam in his eyes, and he said: "It doesn't matter if you love a woman, but she is Mu Zhaolin's daughter, have you forgotten why the emperor wanted Ah Rong to marry Zuo Xiangfu?" ”

Xiao Li had a look of resentment in his eyes, restrained the smile on his face, and said, "Of course, I won't forget that the emperor will do this in order to balance the power of the prince and want Ah Rong to stand in the camp of King Rui." After thinking about it for a while, he pursed the corners of his lips, "But the emperor's goal has not been achieved, and this Mu Xuefu is also dead set on Ah Rong." Thousands of miles to find a husband is also a beautiful talk now. ”

The story of Mu Xuefu going to Jiangnan to find Jingrong was widely spread, and it was also made up into a story and used to tell a story. For a time, everyone said that Princess Chen was affectionate and righteous, and she had a deep relationship with King Chen and his wife.

The ink has not yet dried, like tears stained on the skin, exuding a faint sheen. Marquis Jing Yuan blew lightly on the painting, accompanied by the autumn breeze, almost drowning out his soft whisper, "Let's look at it, it's too early to make a conclusion." However, as a woman, she obeys her father at home and marries her husband, if she is not confused, she should not do anything that harms Ah Rong. ”

The place he was looking at was the location of King Chen's Mansion, and there, someone was caressing the neatly broken place in the swing rope vine.

When night fell, time died, and countless mysterious shadows were born in the darkness, and the ghostly gaze was like a jumping undead, drifting with endless sins.

"You're doing a great day." In the darkness, wisps of moonlight shone on the side of the woman's face, holding a thing with a ghostly light, and a faint smile on her lips. She raised her eyelids and looked at the people around her, "I'll arrange the next thing for you, you just have to do what I teach you." ”

"If I really do this, will you definitely let their mother and son go?" Her voice hesitated a little, as if to get a promise of affirmation.

"Naturally, I will keep my promise to protect their mother and son." The woman returned the things in her hand to the person, smiled slightly, and was as beautiful as a flower, "Take one life for two lives, you won't lose anything in this kind of deal." ”

"Okay, I'll make it hard for her to argue."

Mu Xuefu sat on the top seat, looking at the two women sitting below, with a faint sneer in her eyes. It's just that one of them is a mouthful of sales, and one is embarrassed with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, but they don't see the coldness hidden under Mu Xuefu's smile.

Early this morning, Mrs. Jian Anbo brought her little daughter to visit. This is not the first time that Mrs. Jian'anbo has come to the door, but she has been herself before, but this time she brought her daughter.

The first few times I came over, I hoped that her daughter would enter the house, but she was covered by Mu Xuefu's words and pretending to be stupid, but this time it was a little bit of a direct delivery to the door.

"King Chen always played with Kexin when he was a child, and Princess Xianyu joked with me that he would let King Chen marry my family in the future. If it weren't for Xuan Ya, maybe Kexin would have entered the door a long time ago. Mrs. Jian Anbo sighed, as if she was infinitely remembrance, "In a blink of an eye, after so many years, King Chen has already started a family, and the girl has reached the age of talking about marriage. She raised her head and looked at Mu Xuefu, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the princess and the heart girl are still people of the same age, it is really fate." ”

Mrs. Jian'anbo and Princess Xianyu are cousins, and she used to be jealous of Princess Xianyu's good marriage, and she often slandered behind her back. It's just that Princess Xianyu never cares, and she doesn't want to meet her in general, so it's all gone. So although the two of them are relatives, the relationship between the two is not close. A few years ago, Jian Anbo was assigned to other places on an errand, so his family moved out of the capital, and he did not return to the imperial city until last year. The first time Mu Xuefu saw them was on the birthday of Marquis Jingyuan.

Mu Xuefu smiled lightly and nodded again and again, "The girl is both talented and beautiful, she is really a rare beauty." Presumably, the people who come to the door to propose their relatives must be like a carp crossing the river, and there are countless of them. She took a sip of the teacup, stirred the fragrant tea in her mouth with her tongue, and then swallowed it slowly.

Seeing Mu Xuefu pretending to be stupid, Mrs. Jian Anbo felt cold with hatred in her heart, but her face was full of smiles, and she said: "There are many wealthy and noble sons who come to the door in advance, but this kid's vision is too high, and he can't look down on any of them." said that none of those people were extremely worthy of Cousin Chen, so they simply refused to agree. She always paid attention to the changes in Mu Xuefu's face, and her attitude was soft and with a faint arrogance, "Who can compare to the princess who is lucky to marry King Chen, if the heart girl has half of the princess's blessing, she will be content." ”

Mu Xuefu looked at the woman beside Jian Anbo lightly, her appearance was not very beautiful, and she was fifty percent similar to Mrs. Jian Anbo, about like Jian Anbo, so she did not inherit her mother's beauty, but she was of medium color. To tell the truth, this kind of posture is really inferior compared to the ladies of King Chen's Mansion.

With a shy smile on his face, Mo Kexin raised his eyes to stare at Mu Xuefu, and said abruptly: "Now it is rumored in the city that the prince and his wife are deeply affectionate, and the piano is harmonious, and everyone who hears it is envious. But I also liked my cousin and sister-in-law, and I really envied my cousin-in-law for being favored by my cousin. If one day Kexin can be like her cousin, it is also a blessing for Kexin. ”

"Huh." Mu Xuefu was really speechless for a while, and she couldn't have said it more clearly. But she really didn't understand that the young lady who built the Anbo family wanted to be a concubine for others. Besides, the positions of the side concubines and concubines in the Chenwang Mansion are now full, even if she enters the mansion, she can only be a concubine, does she really want to be a cheap concubine? She smiled perfunctorily, "Why should my cousin be envious, with my cousin's appearance and talent, he will definitely find a satisfactory husband one day." ”

Mrs. Jian Anbo looked at her daughter, and then at Mu Xuefu, frowning. Her daughter's words had come to this point, and Princess Chen still pretended not to understand anything, and her heart became more and more anxious. ruthless, cheekily said: "In the past, King Chen was very fond of the girl, and he especially loved her little cousin. King Chen is also a big ghost, and when he sees the girl, he shouts to marry home, he is really a childhood sweetheart, and the two have no guesses. Speaking of which, she didn't want this face, she blushed and said directly: "For so many years, the heart girl has always been thinking about King Chen, although she is not in the imperial city, but her mind has never been broken, otherwise she would not have always refused other people's proposals." ”
