Chapter 16: The Dark Tide Surges
In the gorgeous and rich palace, there are bright yellow gauze tents everywhere that show the dignity and majesty, and the golden and brilliant buildings all remind people of the dignity of the master here.
Dressed in a black dress with a high placket, decorated with dark red embroidery, with the hair of the highest status woman in the palace on her head, and a golden hairpin flashing in bright and bright colors, the noble lady who was full of grace and luxury, but it was not difficult to see that the noble lady with a little sad face leaned on the couch, closed her eyes and recuperated.
"Queen Mother, the prime minister has arrived." A pale pink palace maid approached lightly, bowed her head and said respectfully.
Her eyes opened slightly, one hand slowly stroked the three long golden nails on the other hand, and the two palace maids next to her helped her sit up slowly from the couch, and the majestic voice came faintly, "Please come in." β
Walking in from outside the palace, a middle-aged man dressed in gray court clothes with a rich face was unconcealable in his gestures, his hands flicked his clothes slightly, and he bowed, "Weichen meets the Queen Mother." β
"Brother doesn't have to be polite."
When she looked up, she saw the slightest sadness on the Queen Mother's face, and her brows furrowed slightly, "What is the Queen Mother worried about?" β
With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the palace maids and eunuchs beside him to go down, and after there were only two people left in the palace, the Queen Mother sat up and said slowly, "Brother, the mourning family has had an ominous premonition in recent days. Ling Che's attitude towards the mourning family became colder than before, and the hatred in it became bigger and bigger..."
"The Queen Mother's love for the emperor and her indifference to King Ling are well known, and it is understandable that he resents you. Sister, you don't have to worry too much, although King Ling is cold-blooded, he is extremely concerned about family affection, which is also the reason why the emperor was able to ascend the throne three years ago. If not, it would be easy to seize the throne with the power of King Ling. β
"Brother, you are wrong, if he knows the truth of twenty-five years ago, then, you and I, along with Lan'er, may become the souls of his sword. A few days ago, the mourning family summoned Princess Ling into the palace, and his words made the mourning family still have lingering palpitations, you say, will he find out something..."
"You meanβ" half-squinted, as if thinking about something, "if that's the case, then we'll have to do what we can." β
The mourning family also thinks so. I wanted to summon him back to Beijing on the grounds of marriage and take back his military power. Giving him the well-known broom star in Luo Xiguo was to kill his sharpness. But the rumored cowardly and cowardly Princess Ling seems to be hidden, you didn't see the situation that day, you dared to openly contradict the mourning family, if it wasn't for King Ling taking her away later, maybe there would be a lot of trouble in the palace..."
"Are the rumors false?"
"The mourning family has sent someone to investigate, and the concubine of the prime minister of Luo Xiguo is indeed as rumored, but for some reason, the Mu Zhiyu seen by the mourning family seems to be full of cold breath, and it feels very similar to that on Ling Che's body..."
"If that's the case, such a woman is by King Ling's side. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage for us..."
"Yes, brother, and this is what we brought about..."The Queen Mother was full of sadness, and there was unconcealable fear in her eyes.
His eyes were deep, his face suddenly became fierce, and his whole body exuded a bloodthirsty murderous aura, "The Queen Mother is not in a hurry, and I will be handled by Wei Chen." So it's no wonder we..."
There is a quiet lake in the center of the backyard of King Ling's Mansion, the water surface is rippling with microwaves, crystal clear, and all kinds of fish swim around, so discordant. The surrounding rockeries are stacked and the trees are towering.
Mu Zhiyu casually squinted between the trees, and his gaze fell on the two stout and straight poplar trees.
A smile slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth, and a faint but clear voice came out into the air, "Ling Yi, please find a strong rope and a wooden plank to make a swing between these two trees." β
The magpie suddenly looked at him suspiciously, "Miss, Ling Yi is not here?" β
"He's always there. Ling Yi, aren't you going to show up yet? The voice was still faint, but it was obviously more momentum than before, and it was hard to resist.
Suddenly, a vigorous black shadow flew out of the air, and landed in front of Mu Zhiyu skillfully and accurately, his voice was indifferent but respectful, "Ling Yi has seen the princess." β
His gaze slowly moved up, but there was no expression on his face, "Did the prince ask you to spy on me?" β
"Back to the princess, the prince is worried about your safety, so his subordinates..."
"This princess cherishes her life more than anyone else, so you can go down." Mu Zhiyu interrupted Ling Yi's next words, and turned to look at the magpie, "Magpie, you go and ask the housekeeper for rope and planks, I'll wait for you here." β
Looking at the back of the magpie leaving, and then at Ling Yi, who was still standing respectfully, his brows furrowed slightly, "Isn't this princess's words good?" β
"Back to the princess, my subordinates didn't mean this, but the prince ordered..."
"Since that's the case, you go and sue Murong Lingche, I don't like people to follow you."
Ling Yi reluctantly turned around and left, striding towards Murong Ling Che's study.
Soon, the magpie found the rope and plank to return, Mu Zhiyu made a swing himself, and after making sure that it was safe, he sat on it.
Holding the ropes on either side with both hands, the magpie gently pushes her behind her back, and the swing sways slowly in the wind. It's been a long time since I've felt this comfortable...
When Murong Lingche arrived, he saw a woman in a light blue dress swinging back and forth on the swing, the breeze blowing her hair slightly floating, the woman's beautiful face was deeply reflected in his heart, although it was from the side, he could still see that the comfortable smile on the woman's face was so dazzling.
Slowly approached, ignoring the magpie's frightened and surprised eyes, and looked at Mu Zhiyu, who was still closing his eyes and recuperating.
"You go down first." The voice was cold, and the magpie shivered with fright.
The magpie looked at Mu Zhiyu, whose eyes were slightly closed but kept swinging, and then at the cold prince, his footsteps moved slowly and retreated. She watched quietly not far away, as long as the prince was not good for her young lady, she immediately rushed up, stopped him, and let the young lady run.
"What, is the prince going to stand here?" He opened his eyes, hooked up a graceful arc, looked up at Murong Ling Che, and motioned with his eyes for him to push the swing for himself.
Murong Lingche was in a good mood, his eyebrows and eyes inadvertently rose, he slowly walked behind her, gently pushed the swing back and forth, and watched the woman's delicate figure dance with the wind, her heart was like a deer crashing, which was strange and wonderful.
"Believe it or not, Ling Yi wasn't sent by me to spy on you...", and spit out this sentence softly for a long time.
"I know. But I'm not used to being followed by people. β
"I'm just worried about you. The emperor of Jing Ge Country, Qianfeng Haoye, is not a good stubble, the killer last time was sent by him, I don't want you to be in any danger. β
Mu Zhiyu's heart felt warm, this cold-blooded prince, the thousand-year-old ice cube face, actually said that he was worried about himself, "Do you think that I, Mu Zhiyu, look like the kind of person who is slaughtered by others?" β
"I know what you're capable of. But I just want to protect you. Murong Lingche was also taken aback when he said this, he actually said it to her?
He was slightly stunned, and then regained his previous calm, "That's it, thank you very much." β
The corners of Murong Lingche's mouth rose slightly, "Woman, you remember, you are my Murong Lingche's princess." It is my responsibility to protect you. β
A smile appeared on Mu Zhiyu's face, it was only a shallow arc, but it was also a country and a city.
The breeze was gently blowing, and the handsome man's sturdy body stood behind the delicate and beautiful woman, slowly pushing the swing in his hand, this warm moment was so harmonious and wonderful......
