Chapter 183: Dream Fairy
The weather is getting colder and colder, and Mu Xuefu rarely goes out, and is bored in the room all day long, with a state of "not hearing anything outside the window, and only reading sage books". Regarding the affairs of King Chen's Mansion and King Chen, she did not allow anyone to inquire or mention it, as if she had no contact with the old man.
On this day, as soon as Mu Xuefu finished practicing, she ushered in Mu Zhaolin, who had not been masked for a long time.
"What's the matter with you and King Chen? Now everyone outside is rumoring that King Chen has the intention of divulging his wife and marrying another, has your relationship been so bad that it has been? Mu Zhaolin entered the door and questioned Mu Xuefu with a sense of reprimand.
Mu Xuefu glanced at him casually, soaked her hands in the water mixed with rose juice, and said leisurely: "Even if I am suspended, it doesn't seem to have any loss to you, right?" ”
Mu Zhaolin was choked by her, his attitude eased a little, and he said seriously: "There is no loss to the original appearance, but the original appearance is worried about you." ”
"What are you worried about me? I'm afraid I'll be dismissed. Mu Xuefu smiled, wiped her hands with a silk handkerchief, and instructed Bai Yi to prepare refreshments before inviting Mu Zhaolin to sit down, "Jingrong is useless to you, even if I am suspended, it won't affect you and King Rui." Besides, Jing Rong is no longer in charge of Gyeonggi Guard, and his advantage has been deprived, so it won't be of much use to you even if you win him over. However, if you want to win over people, King Xuan is actually a good candidate. ”
"King Xuan? He has been gaining momentum recently, and even the emperor has become more and more fond of him. Mu Zhaolin squinted his eyes, the misty tea blocked the distance between the two people, he took a sip of the teacup, and said: "But King Chen has his own use for King Chen, at least if you contain him, if one day there is something that has to be done, even if he doesn't help us, at least he won't turn against us." ”
Mu Xuefu continued a cup of tea, "You overestimate me, I don't have the ability to contain him, otherwise he wouldn't be kicked out of the Chenwang Mansion." ”
"Get out of Chenwang's Mansion?" Mu Zhaolin's eyes were full of shock, and his hands were stunned, "Could it be that King Chen really wants to divorce his wife?" ”
"Perhaps." Mu Xuefu didn't care, hugged the snowball into her arms, and gently stroked its snow-like hair.
Mu Zhaolin frowned, took a deep breath, and seemed to sigh, "After being together for so long, don't you have the slightest love for him?" ”
"Do you think I'll have feelings?" Mu Xuefu raised her eyes to look at him and said with a light smile: "What's more, he is just a tool to me, who have you heard of who has feelings for tools?" The laughter between the lips is like a clear cloud stream, as if there is still nothing, and there is a layer of mist.
Mu Zhaolin hesitated slightly, as if there was something unspeakable, and he wanted to open his mouth several times, but swallowed it back.
Seeing this, Mu Xuefu said directly: "Xiangye didn't come today just to ask about the relationship between me and King Chen, right? ”
Mu Zhaolin frowned, finally lowered his face, and said, "You know that in fact, Meng Lian likes King Chen very much, and she wants to marry into King Chen's mansion with all her heart." I didn't want your sisters to fight each other so that she would repeat the mistakes of Silo. But this child is too awkward, and King Feichen will not marry, and he will die or live at home during this time. I can't help but beg their mother and daughter, and I saw a side concubine in the air of King Chen's mansion, so I want her to come into the mansion to help you, what do you think? ”
The curvature of the corners of Mu Xuefu's mouth is undetectable, help? The words are beautiful, didn't Mu Menglian also want to enter the palace of King Chen before, didn't she also want to die and live? This time, I couldn't help it, it was clear that she was useless, and wanted her daughter to replace her to win over Jingrong.
Mu Menglian sat on the side concubine, as long as Jing Rong took a break from herself, then she would be on the throne naturally.
I don't know who played this abacus so well.
Mu Xuefu wrote lightly: "You also see my situation, I can't even take care of myself, where can I talk if she wants to enter the mansion." After a pause, "If you want her to enter the mansion, you don't have to tell me, you can go to King Chen, and even find the emperor to marry." I'm a useless person now, and I can't speak to King Chen, and it's really useless for you to talk to me about this. ”
Mu Zhaolin's face was a little ugly, "Forget it, I didn't say it." ”
Mu Xuefu snorted slightly, "There are so many people staring at the position of the side concubine in King Chen's mansion, not to mention the side concubine, maybe someone is already planning for the position of the main concubine, and I, the princess of Chen, don't know how long I will keep it." ”
"Men are sometimes like women, just coaxing. With King Chen's previous favor to you, as long as you use a little means, no one can snatch the position of Princess Chen. Mu Zhaolin picked up the teacup with a smile and slowly blew away the foam floating on it, "It just depends on whether you are willing to pay attention." ”
Mu Xuefu said calmly: "What should my heart be used for, you should know, and a king is not enough for me to pay attention to." ”
Mu Zhaolin was slightly surprised when he saw her say this, and then took out a stack of money from his sleeve and said: "This is the money for Xiong Kuang's life in the imperial history, although it is the Hades Pavilion that is hired, but you go to do it, your master said that the money belongs to you." ”
"My master went to find you? He didn't come to me when he went to look for you, obviously forgetting me as an apprentice. When it comes to the master, Mu Xuefu rarely has a hint of ease, but when she thinks of Xiong Kuang in the imperial history, her face is solemn, with a hint of remorse, "This time I made a mistake, but I didn't expect to be seen and expose the Underworld Pavilion." Now everyone knows that the death of Xiong Kuang in the imperial history was the work of the Dream Fairy of the Underworld Pavilion, and they are afraid that the imperial court will take advantage of this to send troops to deal with the Underworld Pavilion. ”
"You didn't do anything clean this time, but fortunately no one saw your true face, otherwise you wouldn't have escaped your true appearance." Mu Zhaolin was sitting precariously, his face sank, containing a layer of seriousness, "Over the years, there have been voices in the imperial court to exterminate the Underworld Pavilion, but it is just those few civil officials talking on paper, and no one in the military attache is willing to take this risk. So even if the emperor knew that it was the dream fairy of the Underworld Pavilion this time, he would not really send troops to fight against the Underworld Pavilion. Isn't he afraid of getting himself in trouble? Besides, it's just the death of a Zhongcheng, what is it in the eyes of the emperor? ”
Mu Xuefu picked up the teacup with peony and emerald, and gently swiped the lid of the jade-white teacup along the edge of the cup, making a clear friction sound, "Fortunately, my method of killing this time is different from the way I committed the crime a few times before, I think no one should associate these things." She put down the teacup, squinted her eyes, and said with a smile: "The third senior brother just sent me a message to let me take action, but I don't know who this person has offended?" ”
Mu Zhaolin's fingers twisted lightly, and he said with a smile: "He offended King Ning." ”
"King Ning?" Mu Xuefu's eyes flashed with a grim light, sharp and sharp. If it weren't for Jin Lu's leakage, she wouldn't have known that King Ning had hired a Styx Pavilion killer to assassinate Jing Rong. It's just that the senior brother didn't stop it, but accepted it all as it was, and didn't notify her in advance that Jingrong was in danger
"Don't look at the usual King Ning, he is the most vicious of the princes. This Xiong Kuang has been secretly investigating him recently, and he should have found something, so he hired the assassin of Lord Stygian. Mu Zhaolin's eyes were heavy, and there was a hint of coldness and coldness, "King Ning's current situation in the court is very good, and many people in the Ming Dynasty have taken refuge in him, and secretly he has eradicated dissidents, so he has to guard against it." ”
Mu Xuefu raised the tea and toasted him, smiling on the wall, "Ascending will fall heavily, and let him be proud for a few days." ”
Mu Zhaolin replied and said with a smile: "That picture is waiting to see a good show." ”
That night, Mu Xuefu quietly fell into Xiong Kuang's mansion in a night robe.
Although Xiong Kuang is dead, he must still have the evidence of King Ning's guilt in his hands, as long as this evidence is found and presented to Emperor Xuanwu, what King Ning did secretly will not only be exposed, but also add a charge of killing the court officials.
The bear's house is covered with a white cloth, and the cries of men and women can be faintly heard, and the atmosphere is especially terrifying and eerie in the dark night.
Mu Xuefu is like becoming one with the darkness, and it is so secret that it is almost impossible to detect it even if someone is in front of him. She moves neatly, her ears and eyes are alert, and the slightest movement can be detected.
She was unfamiliar with Xiong Mansion, and walked around a few times before finding the study.
So as not to invite people, there was no light in the room, such as walking in the dark, Mu Xuefu could only rely on the faint moonlight that spilled in to distinguish the items in the room.
Carefully rummaged through all the places in the room where evidence might be hidden, but still did not find it. When he was discouraged, he heard someone open the door. She dodged and quietly hid behind the screen, only to see a person in black tiptoe in through the gap in the screen, and then rummage through the same boxes and cabinets as she did before.
Mu Xuefu calculated in his heart that this person had the same purpose as him, which was to find the evidence of the crime. Knowing the existence of this incriminating evidence, it is very likely to be King Ning's person. Let's hold on to see if this person can be found before her. If he found it first, he would have snatched it, and it would save her the hardship.
Sure enough, the man found a stack of papers from a dark compartment, and he distinguished his eyes by the moonlight, and said with a smile, "Finally I found it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mu Xuefu passed by like a dark shadow, instantly transferred to him, and snatched the stack of papers.
The man was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly, and slashed at Mu Xuefu with one palm. The palm is like a wind, like a sword, and the sharpness sweeps. Mu Xuefu flashed sideways, raised his hand to block his palm, and then spun around and punched him in the chest. The man took a few steps back, and pulled out a soft sword from his waist, the sword was like a spirit snake, and a cold light flashed in front of Mu Xuefu's eyes, and the person who shot it couldn't open his eyes. She took a few steps back with a hurried step, dodging the light and shadow, and then opened her eyes that the tip of the sword was imminent.
On the side of the head, a strand of head was cut off by the blade of the sword, and Mu Xuefu turned his palm into a knife and slashed directly at the wrist of the man holding the sword. The man felt a pain in his wrist, and the sword was instantly out of his hand. Before the sword landed, Mu Xuefu used both hands and feet, caught the hilt of the sword, turned around, and hit the man's throat, and a sword pierced.
Mu Xuefu tore off the man's mask, and when he recognized it, he raised his eyebrows slightly. She had seen this person, who was one of King Ning's people.
She wasn't mistaken.
