Chapter 61: My cousin is married, and the groom is not me
Long Weisi is the emperor's minions, since the establishment of Emperor Taizu, after improvement, the first also established the Jinguang Temple to imprison the emperor's relatives and nobles.
Mu Xiao was locked up in Jinguang Temple for five years.
If his cousin wants to see the light of day again, Shen Yunzhu naturally wants to pick him up.
The heavy wooden door creaked open, and in the daylight, a man walked out slowly.
The man was wearing a cyan brocade robe, and his posture was elegant, but he could not hide his thinness and thinness.
It was obviously a handsome face, but his face was pale and there was no blood.
Like a ghost who has been imprisoned in hell for a long time, the first time he saw the dazzling sun, his eyes were pierced by the light.
Shen Yunzhu was stunned, in the memory of the original owner, Mu Xiao will always be a sunny boy with fresh clothes and an outstanding demeanor.
Now when she saw him, he was very weak, and seemed to be tired and gasping for breath after walking a few steps.
"Cousin......" Shen Yunzhu had a sour nose and shouted.
Mu Xiao was also happy, but when he saw her combing the woman's hair, her smile faded a little, and he only walked up to her.
"I didn't expect to see my cousin in this life." His voice was gentle, slightly lacking in breath.
Shen Yunzhu's nose was sour, and tears almost burst out of his eyes.
It seems that a little residual thought left by the original owner is haunting, and her heart seems to be blocked by something, and she is so uncomfortable.
She secretly swore that she would do her best to recuperate Mu Xiao's body.
A breeze blew, and the sorrow in her heart seemed to be blown away by the wind, but Shen Yunzhu knew that the original owner had received her promise, and that little residual thought had left without concern.
"Cousin, let's go home first." Shen Yunzhu knew that his body was weak, even if it was a summer breeze, it was not appropriate to blow it too much.
The Mu family was convicted, and the house in Beijing had already been collected by the imperial court and given to other ministers.
The emperor's newly given mansion was larger and more luxurious than before.
There were forty or fifty servants alone.
In the carriage, Mu Xiao asked about her.
Shen Yunzhu didn't say much about the hard days in the Shen family, but said, "I'm doing well, cousin, don't worry." β
Mu Xiao finally asked what was in his heart: "Are you already married?" β
Shen Yunzhu nodded calmly.
"Then which family are you marrying, which son?"
Thinking that her husband was disgusted, he didn't accompany his cousin to pick him up.
He has been imprisoned for five years and has broken his body, but it doesn't mean that he won't support Shen Yunzhu.
Shen Yunzhu replied: "It's King Jing, and now he is the deputy commander of the Long Wei Division." β
"King Jing?!" Mu Xiao's voice was raised in vain, "Gu Beirin? The one who cut off the broken sleeve of his brother's right hand when he was so ruthless?! How did you marry him?! β
He was locked up in Jinguang Temple, which was originally closed to the news.
He Nai's Red Dragon Guard, who guards the gate, is idle and bored on weekdays, and always talks about things in Beijing.
The one who said the most was Gu Beirin.
He lingered in the men's wind hall and talked about marrying the princess and pretending to be a faΓ§ade, and then cutting off Gu Xiyan's right hand on the wedding night, and then became a great hero to save the car, which can be described as ups and downs.
He also thought that the princess who pretended to be a faΓ§ade was really pitiful, and she was married to a broken sleeve, and others didn't know how to laugh at her in private.
He never expected that the poor woman would be his cousin!
The corners of Shen Yunzhu's mouth twitched, fortunately, Gu Beirin didn't come today.
Mu Xiao was too excited, his face became more and more pale, and he said: "Shen Yan, that dog thief, actually married you to him, and missed your life!" β
Shen Yunzhu hurriedly explained: "The previous bastards, the prince is pretending. This time, the Mu family's case was successfully rehabilitated, and the prince made a lot of efforts in the open and in the dark. β
Mu Xiao didn't believe it, "Obviously, His Majesty ordered the case to be re-investigated." β
Shen Yunzhu shook his head: "No, it is the prince's layout, which makes people think that Xu Xiong was killed because of the investigation of this case, so His Majesty can give the order logically." Later, there was a lot of evidence, all of which were provided by the prince. β
Mu Xiao frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
The nobles in Shengjing often get together to eat, drink and have fun, is Gu Beirin pretending, he won't be able to see it at the beginning?
"Yun'er, the Mu family was able to clear up their grievances, but it was actually the regent's old ministry who helped a lot, is this Gu Beirin's credit?" Mu Xiao said seriously, "Probably His Majesty wants to support the royal family, so he will give credit to him." β
Shen Yunzhu still said: "No, the prince has real talent and learning, when you see it, you will know that what I said is true." β
Mu Xiao was extremely keen, and he stared at Shen Yunzhu with a faint gaze: "You like him?" β
Shen Yunzhu was stunned and looked at him blankly.
Mu Xiao's face was light, he looked away, and said: "Back then, my father and aunt planned to let us get married, but it didn't work out after all. I also told you at that time, you don't have to wait for me, you don't have to feel guilty. β
Even if she is not married, he is so broken that he has no face to marry her.
Shen Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief and took out the box containing the white jade bamboo hairpin: "Then I will return this thing to my cousin." β
Mu Xiao lowered his eyes, he recognized the box.
His fingers trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath before taking the thing.
The carriage arrived at Mufu.
Mu Xiao said: "You go back, I want to be alone and quiet." β
Shen Yunzhu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally gave Mu Xiao two ginseng pills beside him: "Then I'll come back another day to have a good meal with my cousin." β
Mu Xiao nodded, and entered the Mu Mansion without looking back.
He was too lazy to take care of the servants in the house, and he was not in a hurry to control it, but went to the rebuilt ancestral hall and kowtowed to incense.
He was thin, kowtowed several times in succession, and fine sweat was already breaking out on his forehead.
He gasped lowly, looked at the spiritual positions of his grandfather, father, and brothers, and smiled desolately.
He's so useless!
After only a few kowtows, his mind became dizzy and his whole body was weak.
Even if he leaves Long Weisi, he has to rely on his cousin to commit to others!
He not only hated Empress Dowager Yin, but also hated his own incompetence!
When he opened the wooden box and saw the white jade bamboo hairpin inside, Mu Xiao closed his eyes, and he no longer had the will to survive.
β¦β¦
The carriage was only halfway through when it was stopped by someone.
It was the guards of the Mu Mansion who came on horseback and said urgently: "Princess Jing, the prince fainted in the ancestral hall, and the situation is not good. β
"What?" Shen Yunzhu was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the coachman to return the same way.
She was nervous, could it be that she and Mu Xiao thought that she was empathetic and couldn't bear the blow of betrayal before she fainted?
Fortunately, she now carries a medicine box when she goes out, so she doesn't have to go back to the palace.
When he arrived at Mufu, because Shen Yunzhu was restless, he almost stepped out of the carriage when he got out of the carriage.
Bai Shao's eyes were quick, and he helped her: "Don't worry, princess, my cousin will definitely be fine." β
After that, he took Shen Yunzhu's medicine box and entered the house together.
There is a lookout tower near Mufu.
Shen Yunzhu went and returned, and his panicked appearance was in full view.
Yan Wei saw that his master's face was getting more and more gloomy, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the fifth prince is the cousin of the princess, and it is normal for her to worry about losing her mind. β
After a long time, Gu Beirin tilted his head slightly: "She'd better hurry back home." β
Otherwise, he couldn't help but want to kill Mu Xiao.
