Chapter Seventy-Three: Sleeping with the King
On this day, not long after Mu Xuefu finished lunch, Jingrong came over.
Seeing Mu Xuefu lazily lying on the warm couch reading a book, Jing Rong sat beside her with a smile, "I heard that the princess was angry a few days ago, and even the Ziyao girl next to her was sent out with a board." ”
Mu Xuefu glanced at him and continued to read.
Jing Rong saw that she didn't speak, and smiled lightly and took away the book she was blocking in front of her, "Still not angry?" The king has already beaten all the people in the dining room, and pushed out the stewards, so that will relieve a little anger. He took her hand again and looked at it over and over again, with a playful smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, "The princess is really ruthless, this king sees that the cloud pendant's face is ruined, and the traces are so long and deep, I'm afraid it will never be repaired again." ”
When Mu Xuefu sent people over, the blood on Yun Shen's face had not dried up, and the whole face was blurred with flesh and blood.
Of course, he knew that Mu Xuefu did this because he forced Yunshen to tell the truth, and he was not against torture, but she directly ruined the appearance that a woman cared about the most, which shows how ruthless and ruthless her mind is. For a moment, he couldn't help but ask if he wanted to keep such a vicious woman by his side.
Mu Xuefu withdrew her hand, the corners of her eyes raised, "What, the prince is distressed?" Yun Shen looks good, but that kind of posture, I'm afraid it can't enter the eyes of the prince. Besides, it's just disfigurement, and she's dying anyway, so what does it matter if she can fix it or not? ”
Jing Rong looked at her deeply, wanting to see a trace of pity in her eyes, but he never found it. There was only disdain, arrogance and cold-bloodedness in her eyes, as if she was not talking about a person, but a cat and a dog. is worthy of Mu Zhaolin's daughter, just as ruthless. But for a moment, Jing Rong suddenly smiled, is he a good person? I'm afraid it's more than that. At the end of the day, the two of them are the same kind of people.
Unexpectedly, he reacted like this, Mu Xuefu was slightly stunned, glanced at him, and asked, "What is the prince laughing at?" ”
"This king has found that the princess has a very good quality." Jing Rong looked at her with a smile and said meaningfully.
Mu Xuefu was even more puzzled, "What quality?" ”
"Kill decisively." Jing Rong paused word by word, and his attitude gradually became serious, "A woman who is the king of this cannot be weak. ”
"Decisive killing?" Tongues and teeth playfully grasp these four words. Such a praising and deprecating word Jingrong is actually used on her, is it to praise her for her decisiveness or to damage her arbitrariness and viciousness? A savor, or both. Mu Xuefu had a smile on her lips, lowered her eyebrows, sat up, found a comfortable position to lean on, changed the topic, and said, "The case has been investigated?" ”
"With Zhongxiang and Yunshen as witnesses, and the tooth marks on Li's arms, she can't admit it if she wants to." The expression on Jing Rong's face suddenly condensed, and his handsome face was like a dark cloud covering the storm, with fierceness in the gloom, "It turns out that Hanxiang used to be the maid who served the Li family, and when she was in Yanyang City, she was secretly married to the son of the Li family, that Jing Haozhu." According to Li's confession, she originally wanted to arrange Hanxiang to be by the king's side, relying on her favor to speak for Jing Hao, so that the king could arrange a good errand for him in the imperial city. But she didn't want Hanxiang to be pregnant, and she couldn't get into the eyes of this king, so she threatened Li to let Jing Hao admit her into the door, otherwise she would have a showdown with this king. ”
"So the Li clan made the first move and killed Hanxiang." Mu Xuefu was stunned, although it sounded reasonable, but she always felt a little far-fetched, "After all, Hanxiang is also her grandson in her belly, how can she do it?" ”
Jing Rong sneered and said: "Although Jing Hao is not a son-in-law, he is also the second master of King Yu's Mansion, and he is handsome, there are many women beckoning, and there is not only one woman who can give him a child, how can the Li family care about a grandson who has not yet been born." In her eyes, of course, her son's future is important. ”
Mu Xuefu nodded, looked at Jing Rong again, and teased a little, "The prince is a hundred times better looking than Jing Hao, is there a lot of women who want to give birth to the prince without beckoning?" ”
Jing Rong's cold eyes contained a hint of warmth, and he hugged Mu Xuefu in his arms, rubbed her cheeks, and said in ambiguous and firm language: "The children of this king can only come from the belly of the princess, and this palace of the prince of Chen does not allow other children to be born except for his son-in-law." ”
Mu Xuefu raised her eyebrows, with a puzzled face, don't men all want their children to be prosperous? Why is Jingrong only a son-in-law? No wonder he has not been pampered in the side room, it turns out that he is not allowed to give birth to a concubine.
Looking at her confused look, Jing Rong scratched her nose, but the smile on her face gradually converged, and her eyes were covered with a layer of coldness, and said: "This king remembers that when he was a child, whenever a child was born in the side room, the mother concubine would secretly wipe her tears once, and after crying, she would hold on to a smile to congratulate her father. He shook her hand, "This king doesn't want his princess to be like his mother." ”
Jing Rong's hands had always been cold, and the moment his fingertips touched the back of her hand, it made her tremble. But his palms were warm with wisps, and the lines on his palms could be clearly felt. Mu Xuefu stared at him with a slight distraction, and her eyebrows were unconsciously covered with a trace of emotion, but in an instant, this emotion was frozen by her again. His princess, his sister-in-law, has nothing to do with her.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Jing Rong reached out and stroked her sideburns, and said, "Don't believe the words of this king?" ”
"Naturally believe." Mu Xuefu didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, so she changed her words and said, "Lord Wang, this matter can be regarded as a matter of water, so what do you plan to do with the Li family?" ”
Jing Rong's face sank, let go of the hand holding her, and leaned back, "Although this case proves that it was committed by the Li family, and she also admitted it herself, there are suspicious points, and it needs to be investigated again." ”
Mu Xuefu looked tired on his face, thinking that he must have been tired from investigating the case in the past few days, so he moved in to make him more comfortable.
Hearing Jing Rong say this, she pondered for a moment and thought: "I have no grievances with the Li family, why didn't she frame others, but chose me?" Is it really because I am the mistress of King Chen's Mansion, even if the maid dies, no one dares to hold the blame accountable? After thinking about it, he felt that such a statement was far-fetched, and shook his head, "No, she spent a lot of money to buy the people around me, and arranged such a show, which is obviously to make my murder charge confirmed." As she spoke, she added a soft pillow to Jing Rong's back to make him more comfortable.
Jing Rong was relieved to see that she was rare and considerate, and finally it was not in vain that he had worked hard to track down in the past few days. He leaned comfortably on the soft pillow and took Mu Xuefu's hand to play, "Have you ever thought about it, there are a lot of minions in this Eastern Courtyard, why did the Li family only buy Zhongxiang and Yunshen?" ”
Mu Xuefu's eyebrows jumped suddenly, she snorted, and suddenly realized: "She has mastered the Achilles heel of Zhongxiang and Yunshen, and knows that one of them is greedy for money and gambling, and the other is eager to use money. ”
"I'm afraid it's not just the two of them, maybe the entire palace, she knows it well." Jing Rong's cold fingertips rubbed the soft wattle held on his chest at once, like an ice pick hanging under the eaves in the wax moon, sharp and sloppy, "But this king will never believe that she has this ability." ”
Without waiting for Jing Rong to finish speaking, Mu Xuefu grabbed the words and said: "So there is someone else behind her, and the prince suspects that the mastermind behind this is Princess Yu." ”
Jing Rong snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's only her." ”
In fact, when it came to this matter, Princess Yu did it, Mu Xuefu was not surprised at all, when Hanxiang's body appeared in the pond in the east courtyard, the first thing that came to her mind was Princess Yu.
"But the Li family is the side room of the father, and the person who died is just a maid, does the prince really want to dispose of the Li family for the sake of a maid?"
"It's not a pity to die, but it's her fault to frame you." Jing Rong rolled over in her direction, enveloping Mu Xuefu within the upper body. Stretched out his hand and touched her face, and said, "If you are grounded, how can this king spare her." Now, first grounded her, and when the whole thing is clear, it is natural to deal with her. ”
Mu Xuefu was surrounded by Jing Rong, and felt uncomfortable, so she had to climb out of it.
Jing Rong hugged her to her without waiting for her to leave, and the posture of a woman and a man was very ambiguous. He looked at Mu Xuefu with a smile on his cheeks, and the happy laughter overflowed from his mouth, and only when Mu Xuefu's fist pounded on his shoulder did he retract slightly. He turned her over and hugged her directly in his arms, "Where are you going?" Sleep with this king for a while, these Japanese kings haven't slept well, it's all for you, shouldn't you make up for this king? Saying that, he yawned a few times, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, his forehead was against her forehead, and he said softly: "I'm really tired, I tried all night last night, and I haven't slept until now, so you can pity me and sleep with me for a while." ”
Mu Xuefu rested on his shoulder, trying to struggle to sit up, but was caught by his arm. Looking at his tired face and listening to his gentle words, his heart slowly softened, this was the first time that Jing Rong used "I" to call herself in front of her.
This is the first time that the two of them are lying in the same bed, and she is inevitably a little uncomfortable, "If you want to sleep, go to the bed and sleep well, this couch is small, and the two of them are too crowded to lie down." ”
The woman in his arms was soft and boneless, fragrant, and he was willing to leave. Thinking secretly, it is no wonder that Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty compared Zhao Hede's arms to a gentle township. Mu Xuefu twisted her body dishonestly, wanting to keep a distance from him, which caused Jing Rong to be very dissatisfied. He twisted his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth pursed into the word "one", and said impatiently: "This king thinks this is very good." Seeing that Mu Xuefu was still talking, clasped her head, bullied the cherry red lips, kissed her twice before letting go, and said in a threatening tone: "Do you want this prince to sleep with this king?" ”
