Chapter 173: Coming Again
Cane killing is a kind of execution method of beating the buttocks with a heavy rod to execute criminals, because the spanking is not bad, so it is necessary to stab the abdomen first, which is not only extremely humiliating for the person who is held with the cane, but also has to endure all kinds of torture to death.
The palace of King Chen was filled with a strong smell of blood, like a fine mist rippling in the air.
Mu Xuefu coldly watched Pan Qihao and Hua Mei'er lose their breath one after another, silently closed their eyes, and when they opened them again, they were no different from usual.
Living and dying together is not a good thing for a couple of lovers. The day and night are too short, only the yellow spring is always accompanied.
The Hua family did not come to collect the corpse, but just asked people to bring a message, saying that the Hua family did not have such a daughter, and Hua Meier's body was also asked to be disposed of by King Chen at will. But also because of this, the Hua family broke with King Chen. first lost a favored princess, and then lost a princess of the palace, which was a successive blow to the Hua family, and what Hua Meier did humiliated the lintel, so that Hua Shilang had no face in the court for a while.
But even so, he is still a soldier in the army, and even if he is embarrassed for a while, someone will soon take him under his command.
From that day on, Muchev no longer went to the swings, and rarely even went to the back garden, except sometimes to go to the hibiscus pond to pick a lotus flower and put it in the room for a few days.
On this day, the lotus flowers in the hibiscus pond are as always, the flowers are wonderful, and the pond is full of fragrance. Mu Xuefu looked at the most brilliant one among them and pointed, "Hong Shao, pick that flower for me." ”
As soon as the words fell, a figure flashed by, lightly touched the lotus leaf with his feet, and then turned around, holding the lotus flower in front of Mu Xuefu's eyes.
Mu Xuefu took two steps back, looked around vigilantly, and then saluted the man, "Xuanwang Wan'an." ”
Jing Xuan saw that her face was full of vigilance, an embarrassed smile appeared on her face, and she arched her hand towards Mu Xuefu, "Sister-in-law Wan'an." He lifted the lotus flower in front of her again, "I saw that Sister-in-law Wang wanted this flower, so I helped you pick it." His gaze lingered on Mu Xuefu's face, and his eyes were full of reluctance.
Mu Xuefu asked Hong Shao to take the flowers and said, "Since King Xuan is here to enjoy the flowers, then I won't bother." She really didn't want to have anything to do with this Jing Xuan, so she couldn't wait to escape from here, but she didn't obey people's wishes, and she was called out by Jing Xuan just after leaving.
"Why do you hate me so much? Could it be that Brother Wang won't let him say a few words? ”
Mu Xuefu didn't turn around, only turned his back to him, "Isn't the lesson I got last time enough?" I don't want to be framed again, and I don't want to be beaten again. Also, why should I hate you, I'm afraid that King Xuan thinks too much. ”
"I apologized to you for the last time on behalf of my mother, but it was her fault that she did it before she figured it out." A sentence made Mu Xuefu's step stop.
She turned her head, glanced at Jing Xuan, and a smile appeared on her lips, "Your mother doesn't like me, she just used the topic to wave this time." I am not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, this matter really has nothing to do with you, you don't need to apologize to me, let alone apologize to me for others. ”
Jing Xuan caught the sneer in her eyes, and he lowered his head, "I didn't come back that day because I had business to do, and if I was here, you wouldn't have suffered this grievance." ”
That day he went to drink flower wine during the day, and was on duty again at night, and when he came back, it was already the next day. When I came back, I happened to see the Hua family being executed, and when I asked, I realized what happened. Later, he still asked his side concubine, and the side concubine told him the whole thing. His concubine was also an honest person, and told him the whole thing word for word. Only then did he know that Mu Xuefu was slandered, and his mother was aggressive and beat people.
"If I have any grievances, I naturally have my prince to support me, and I don't need to bother with King Xuan." Mu Xuefu smiled hard, obviously unwilling to deal with him.
Jing Xuan is not a big traitor, but he is more drunk, and the last time he was in Princess Yong'an's other village, he also got together with Princess Sanssouci because he gave her a head, which can be regarded as a lot of maintenance for her. But because he is Jing Wanqi's son, and he still wants to rob Jing Rong's things, then don't blame her for not giving him a good face.
Jing Xuan looked at her stupidly, sadness flashed in his eyes, he pursed his lips, and said, "In a few days, we will move into the newly built Xuanwang Mansion, and in the future, our mother and son will not be an eyesore in front of you." I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances because of your mother for so long, and I can only say I'm sorry. ”
"In this way, King Xuan can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the imperial city, which is really a gratifying thing. When the banquet is held in your mansion, the prince and I must arrive early. Mu Xuefu didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and walked back. She doesn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, if she is seen and doesn't know how to arrange her, maybe she will say that she seduced her brother-in-law. She had already suffered a loss and didn't want to eat it a second time.
Jing Xuan looked at Mu Xuefu's back as she walked farther and farther away, the sadness in her eyes was very strong, it turned out that she was disgusted that he had arrived in this field, and she didn't even want to say a few more words.
The palm of his hand slowly clenched into a fist, there were a number of white bone joints, he looked at the direction of the figure that had long disappeared, his eyes were gloomy and terrifying, "What the mother concubine said is right, when I ascend to the throne, all the women in this world will be mine." You, Mu Xuefu, will belong to me one day. ”
After ten thousand sounds, everything returned to calm, and the white lotus on the hibiscus pond was gone, leaving only the fine petals sprinkled on the surface of the pond.
Mu Xuefu was originally annoyed by Jing Xuan's interest, but the other scene of returning to the East Courtyard made her angry.
Today, Jingrong came back much earlier than before, and at this time he was sitting in the front of the hall and drinking tea leisurely. He was wearing a light purple satin robe, with a python dragon pattern entrenched on his chest, and a white auspicious cloud wide-brimmed brocade belt around his waist, which was inlaid with mutton fat and white jade. The black bundle is a purple and gold crown with double dragons competing for pearls, and a few strands of silk are scattered randomly on his forehead, with his handsome and lifeless face, it is simply the best gift from God to give back to the world. Such a clear and elegant posture is magnificent, and it is so amazing that people can't take their eyes off it.
However, Mu Xuefu hopes that she will enjoy such a beautiful scenery alone, but there are always unlucky guests who do not want to fulfill her wishes, such as Mrs. Jian'anbo's mother and daughter sitting on the side at this time.
Seeing Mu Xuefu walk in, the two mothers and daughters stood up and saluted her. Mu Xuefu's smiling eyes hurriedly passed over their faces like dragonflies, "I just went to the garden, and I didn't know that Madame and Miss were here, it's really rude." Looking at Jing Rong again, the voice of Qing Ling just now became coquettish at will, "The prince is too, the prince's cousin and cousin are here, and they don't send anyone to inform the concubine." ”
Jing Rong smiled without saying a word, and hooked his hand at her. Mu Xuefu walked up to him with a smile, and the hands of the two people naturally intertwined. She sat next to him, only turned half of her face to the two mothers and daughters, and said to Jingrong: "Why did you come back so early today?" ”
"This king has just arrived." Jing Rong put her hand in her palm, "I was going to send someone to look for you back, but Zi Yao said that you went to pick lotus flowers and should come back soon, so this king didn't send anyone to look for you." ”
Mu Xuefu tried the temperature of his fingertips, it was eight points cold, and he should have just entered the house for a cup of tea, and he didn't lie. She held Jing Rong's hand in the palm of her hand to warm him, and ignored the mother and daughter who were sitting a little embarrassed on the side, talking to Jing Rong as if no one was around, "You, you are really getting more and more promising, you can even rely on Zi Yao for this kind of trivial matter, and if you are sincere, you should pick me up in person, instead of sending me back." ”
The temperature on his hand was conveyed directly to his heart, and Jing Rong's heart was warm, he stroked Mu Xuefu's shoulder and hugged her, "This time this time the king is not considerate enough, I will definitely pick you up next time." Coaxing Mu Xuefu to be happy, he looked at the two mothers and daughters who were standing, and the voice that was full of tenderness a moment ago suddenly changed, although the tone was gentle, but distant, "Madame and Miss, please take a seat." ”
After sitting down, Mo Kexin's eyes stayed on Jing Rong, seeing that he had never left her since Mu Xuefu came in, his heart was sour and lost, and he couldn't help but spit out sour words on his mouth, "I have long heard that my cousin loves the princess, and I know that the rumors are true when I see it today." The princess is really blessed, and she is so loved by her cousin, which really makes Kexin envious. However, it is expected that the princess will be favored, the princess is so beautiful, but if she is a man, she will definitely hold the princess in the palm of her hand. ”
King Rui is as warm as jade, King Rong is as cold as frost, and King Chen is in between, which makes people uncertain. Although Mrs. Jian Anbo is his cousin and aunt in terms of seniority, she is afraid of him from the heart, and when she saw that her daughter was out of proportion in her speech, she hurriedly remedied, "The prince and princess are really immortal couples, a pair in the sky and a pair in the ground, how can mortals like us envy it?" ”
Before, she also wanted to fulfill her daughter's wishes, thinking that even if Jingrong was greedy for the princess's appearance for a while, but a man is not greedy for freshness, his daughter is gentle and lovely, and it is a taste of beauty, how can a man refuse. As long as her daughter is angry and can give birth to the eldest son for Jing Rong, is this Chen Wangfu afraid that there is no place for her? Especially now that the Chenwang Mansion has an empty position for the side concubine, it even makes her feel that this position is for her daughter, so she will come again after a few days. And this time it was also very smooth, and as soon as he sat down, he was rushing back to Jingrong. I thought that I would just take advantage of the princess's absence to let my daughter talk to him more, but this scene only cared about drinking tea with her head bored, and she only talked to them in a few words, and even preferred to talk to the maid rather than chat with the two of them. This attitude is clearly that they don't want to see their mother and daughter, and they don't look down on her daughter. And the most important thing is that after she saw Mu Xuefu appear, there was no one else in Jingrong's eyes.
If a man even gives his heart to his wife, where will the other concubines have a foothold?
